Can't get Windows 7 to start

My battery died and shut down improperly and now my windows won't even start. I have a thinkpad edge less than a year old. I have tried safe mode, the recovery prompt, and the normal setup but it always leads me to a blank black screen with just my arrow showing.
Any ideas?

Sounds like explorer is not loading? Have you tried alt-tab-delete to start task manager, and then from there do file->run-> and type in 'explorer'? But the root cause may be corrupted OS or malware.

S10-2 How can I get Windows 7 Starter downloaded

My grandaughters S10-2 that I bought for her last March is having problems with Windows 7 Starter. I tried to upgrade to the full version of Windows 7 but about 30% into the download it stopped and could not be completed. Is there any way to get Windows 7 Starter downloaded again to the netbook so I can download the full version?
Thanks, Carl Clay123

download full version of windows 7
you mean updates of different version of windows 7?
if it's different version of windows 7, you cannot download it. also you have to buy new licence.
( you can download the iso file but still you need licence )

HP Support Assistant Can't Get Windows to Start

Windows 7
Windows Error Recovery - Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
I had patched a PC right before the crash.
After the crash, I restarted and was given the option to start windows normally or to launch startup repair. I launched start up repair and it get's to this bluish wallpaper with a mouse icon. It starts to launch a DoS window and then it goes down as a loading icon appears next to the mouse icon and then disappears. It just stays on the blue wallpaper. I am wondering if the startup repair is running or not. If not, what do I need to do to fix this problem? Thank you ahead of time.

On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?, on my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?

On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point in a document, and then continue on to the next paragraph and so on? Thank you. Ed

Welcome to the Apple family!!!!
How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
Press Control-Option and F5. The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over. This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
How to read a website with VoiceOver
Step 1: Go to the Website
A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L. This will jump you up to the address bar. Start typing where you want to go. i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
Step 2: Working with Webpage
VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website. You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'.
If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it. If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website. This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'. You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I
Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
Step 3. Reading from Top to Bottom
Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title.
After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on.
Note: If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too.
Tip: You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'. The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R. You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'.
I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar. To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M.
Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac. This will open up another window. Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'. If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

Chapter 6: Browsing the internet

The 'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H. (hit H twice) is my best friend. It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command. Example: You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command. Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph. It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph. I believe there are three.
As from the Trackpad Commands, I've copied and pasted below from Appendix A: Commands and Gestures

Can't get Firefox to start after performing OS security updates

Just did the most recent updates on OS-X 10.6.8, and now I can't get Firefox to start. It comes up and says that it is having problems (the "embarassing" window) and that I should try closing tabs. However, it's not responding at all, so finally I have to resort to force quit. I've try cold starting the computer with no effect.

Let's try this. You said you are trying to start Firefox 8 on the problem machine? Can you try downloading Firefox 11 from [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], install that, restart your computer, then see if it still acts up?
If it does, try running Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]].

Help Mac-brothers: can't get Windows to install

Thanks for reading. No matter how I try, I just can't get Windows (either Vista or XP Pro) installed on my Macpro! I made a partition with Bootcamp, started the installationprocess, on asking where to put Windows I selected the Bootcamp-partition and reformatted it. No matter what I do, it keeps telling me that it can't install Windows becouse it does not see a suitable sytem volume. what am I doing wrong? It drives me mad. Any help is welcome. Thank in advance!

Vista x64 doesn't like the NTFS partition BootCamp creates, so you have to delete and format, then reboot off the Vista DVD again.
And sometimes it only works if OS X is nowhere to be found (removed).
I always put Windows Vista on its own hard drive. And pull my OS X drive.
Having four drive bays, very easy.
Never tried with Pro. And in fact, I only 'tested' BootCamp Assistant once or twice. I just format a drive as FAT and then let Vista format it. BCA isn't necessary, and you can install the Apple drivers later when Windows is fully installed, patched, updated, and running fine.

I can't get itunes to start now that I downloaded 10.5.3

i can't get itunes to start now that I downloaded 10.5.3

Try following steps and test one at a time:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

where can I get windows 7 keyboard and mouse drivers for bootcamp?
I have installed Windows 7 in a boot camp partition. I can only use usb keyboard and mouse by booting Windows intyo safe mode, and I am totally unable to use my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse. How do I resolve this?
I'm running Lion - 10.7.2. Boot Camp Assistant fails to download drivers - that issue has been going on for some time, and has been reported by others as well.
But that answers your question. You get the drivers by using BCA to download them. Your inability to download the drivers is a separate issue than not being able to use your wireless keyboard.
While some people may have issues downloading the drivers, many others have successfully downloaded the drivers. I have downloaded them fine on several different Macs. It may take a long time, depending on the speed of your internet connection. Mine took over 3 hours.
Regardless, you need to download the drivers using Boot Camp Assistant. Try again, and if you still have problems, start a new thread and provide as much details as possible to describe what your seeing so that we don't have to go through this back-and-fourth, and you'll get your answer quicker.

How can I get Windows (v7 x64) to open in Dreamweaver (CS5) if I right click it?

Hi
How can I get Windows (v7 x64) to open in Dreamweaver (CS5) if I right click it?
None of the normal mechanisms of setting an application to be the DEFAULT application for the .HTML file type seem to work...
Extremely irritating.

Can't get WRT54G to start up, gets stuck at "checking computer settings"

Can't get WRT54G to start up, gets stuck at "checking computer settings" at 99% Please help!
If I hit the escape key it will go to the password screen, it looks like the password is already entered for me so I hit enter, but then it just goes back to "checking computer settings" and won't go past 99% again.'
Sorry but the last post mistakenly said the wrong number so I posted this.

If you are running the install CD that came with the router, the behavior you describe is exactly what happened when I tried using the CD today. The CD didn't seem to work with my computer's fixed IP address (not in the 192.168.1.0 network.)
What worked for me was to set my computer to have the fixed IP address 192.168.1.2. Then I was able to contact the router using its web interface at 192.168.1.1 amd make the necessary settings.
The password had NOT been changed from the default despite the install CD software seemingly accepting a new password. The default password worked.

Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.

Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.

Maybe because it's not a 'genuine' retail version? Many OEM versions just don't work - and I've no idea which flavor of Win7 your friend downloaded. Obviously one that Boot Camp doesn't recognize. Best to just pony up the cash for a full retail version, of some flavor - and use it. You COULD, of course, download the 14-day trial version of Parallels Desktop and see if you can install Win7 as a virtual machine... it might or might not work. Boot Camp just isn't finding the resources it needs on the copy you have - try Parallels and if that doesn't work just purchase a retail (or student discounted) version.

HT4859 Can I get back to start up assistant after I have set up phone originally

can I get back to start up assistant after Iphone 4 S set up in shop yesterday? Have notes backed up in icloud from old phone and don't know how to get them onto new phone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
In order to return to set up assistant, you will need to restore the phone again.
