Can't load a disk

I'm trying to install Final Cut Studio 2, but it wont read the disk and just ejects it.

Hi NEwherebutA&M-
So I guess the obvious diagnosis would be a bad disk.
Have you another Mac to try the disk on just to see if it can be read? You could also take the disk to an Apple store and see if it can be read on a machine there.
If it is damaged or otherwise unusable Apple will replace it for a nominal charge.

  • Can't load Nano Disk

    I have a 1st gen NANO that had 203 songs on it. When I got a new computer I reloaded the original software and plugged in my IPOD. All 203 songs were wiped out and I now have nothing. I did an uninstall and totally removed the program and tried to reload but it will not reload now. It gets almost to the end and then says somethiong about a bad disc. So now I have nothing. If I could load the software I should be able to begin buidling a music inventory but I can't load it. Any Suggestions?

    Download and install the most recent version from the website.

  • Can't Load Install Disk

    I'm trying to upgrade my MacBook Pro to Leopard. When my MacBook restarts, it ejects the install disk instead of booting from it. Is there a keystroke that I can enter to force the MacBook to load from the install disk?

  • L305D-S5934 Has formatted hard drive, can I load recovery disk from a different machine?

    Hi,
    I have an older L305D (can't remember the sub group model, but it does not have the web cam).  The LCD screen went out so I bought a L305D-S5934 with a formatted hard drive.  I swapped my old hard drive into the new computer, but it will not boot up.  It tried to recover, but that failed.  Can I make a recovery disk with my old computer to use in the new one, even though they are different sub models?  The new computer has a Windows license on it.  If I can't make a recovery disk with the old one that will work, can I get a copy of Vista Home and use the license on the new computer to install it or does the license only work with the recovery disks?  Once I have an operating system installed, I know I can get the right drivers from this website.  Any help/ideas would be appreciated!  I would rather not have to buy a recovery disk through Toshiba if I can avoid it.

    That won't work.

    The OEM key won't work with a retail version of Windows. (And with the recovery discs it's unnecessary, because that one is pre-activated.)
    The recovery media from Toshiba costs less than the product key for the retail installation DVD. And you don't need to mess around adding drivers and utilities.

  • Can't load disk image when doing first backup

    Hi
    I've had to erase my Time Capsule's Time Machine sparesebundle as it had a corruption. And now I am trying to do a first backup again.
    Unfortunately, I keep getting an error message telling me the machine can't create a disk image; I have no idea why. I have tried changing my computer name in case that makes a difference (but I don't see why as the previous name worked fine for a year or more).
    Since trying to start this new process, I have noticed that sometimes in the TM preference pane that the TC name is given a Time Capsule-1 as opposed to its normal name of Time Capsule.
    Below is the log captured from the TM widget.

    I tried to start the backup again, after logging out and back in again (as I had done several times before), but this time the sparsebundle loaded ok and the backup started properly.
    So there's no need for anyone to spend any time on me.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Although the security of Windows XP SP3 32 bit is compromised by Microsoft no longer supporting XP, if Windows XP was restored as claimed, you should still be able to install/uninstall Premiere Elements versions of it that you did before the Microsoft support removal.
    I think a revisit to the Geeks would be in order. It may be that they could not restore Windows XP because of the Microsoft non support. I would take along the Premiere Elements installation disks so that you do not leave there without actually seeing Premiere Elements (or a non Adobe program) running on your restored Windows XP. What was the other software that you tried to use that did not work?
    Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
    Best wishes
    Thanks.

    I bought Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection.
    it has never been registered.
    It ALL INSTALLS OK, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ILLUSTRATOR.
    I was told to go to your fttp site I did so and it is funny but you have the creative suite there for CS, CS2, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 but not CS3.
    There is Illustrator CS3 there but not sure if that will work with the Master Suite and the Master Suite serial number.

  • Can I load Office for Mac via the internet?  I own the disks and have only loaded them twice.

    Can I load Office for Mac via the internet?  I own the disks and have only loaded them twice.

    If you are saying that you have one license left of a three license edition MS Office for Mac 2011, then all you have to do is download a MS Office trial for Mac from the MS website. Using the available license registration number, you can activate the downloaded trial and have the same functionality as if you had used the disks and registered with that same number.

    It seems like the driver for that device does not exist. Since the system installed successfully it means that it S10 did find a disk. I wonder if that was a different disk than the default disk. Please boot to the miniroot and check the disk info.

  • After getting the dreaded gray/blue screen, I tried to run disk repair on the internal disk. I got an error message saying "Disk Utility can't repair this disk and restore your backed-up files. The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely

    After getting the dreaded gray/blue screen, I tried to run disk repair on the internal disk. I got an error message saying "Disk Utility can't repair this disk and restore your backed-up files. The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely." What do I do now? This is an iMac and I'm running 10.6.8.

    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it. See below for how to clone a drive.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    You may be able to backup your data if you have an erased external drive you can use. Before you do the above but after you have opened Disk Utility you can try to clone your drive:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Now this will only work if the drive is accessible and can be cloned by Disk Utility. Otherwise, you would need to access your drive from another Mac that you can connect via Firewire - Target Disk Mode.

  • (Windows 8) All partitions are messed up. Can't load recovery.

    I have an HP pavillian G6 that I have totally messed up.
    It came with windows 8, and I had no intention of removing or dual booting it.  I wanted to partition the C drive to chop off 10 gigs for a seperate partition for Outlook files.  I used EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition.  It seemed to be working fine.  When I rebooted to allow the partitioning, it failed and gave me an error message.
    I restarted and got an error message loading.  If I had stopped there I might have been okay by running a repair from a Windows 8 install disk.  At that point I did not have one, so I decided to pop the hard drive out, put it into a usb hard drive enclosure and check it out.  The 10 gigs were removed from the C drive, but the new partition was never created.  I decided to go ahead and finish that process from my Windows 7 PC.  Of course, that didn't work.  So I decided to put it back to the way it was.  Unfortunately, I chose to merge the partition, and the target info was set as the new partition I had created.  So it messed up my boot sector and moved all my files to a folder within the "new drive."  I have since moved all the files back to the root, but of course, it still doesn't work.
    I have tried loading a windows 8 recovery disk, but it stops halfway through loading.  Interestingly enough, it will load all the way if I have the hard drive out, but that doesn't do me any good.
    I have tried running a repair with a Windows 8 Install disk, but it cannot find the OS.
    I have tried to set the recovery partition to active, but it will not allow me to because it is not an MBR.
    I currently get the Recovery screen.  A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.  Error Code: 0xc0000225
    I could format and reinstall Windows 8, but I want to use the license that was preinstalled (no discs came with the laptop) instead of the license with this disc.  I would not mind ordering a recovery CD from HP, but I am not sure if it will work, considering the state my partitions are in.  This is a brand new Laptop, so I don't mind starting over from scratch, there are no personal files, just a few apps that are easily replaced.
    Can anyone help me before I go completely nuts?

    It appears that resizing the partition has interfered with how the notebook was configured to boot.
    To get around this, the HDD will need to be restored using the recovery disks themselves. You can use the recovery disks you made if you made them before the issue occurred. If not, they will need to be ordered from HP. The number for the U.S. and Canada is 1-800-474-6836. The recovery disks will work regardless of the partition configuration as long as the hard drive was not converted to a dynamic disk. If it has been converted to a dynamic disk, then the drive will need to be revered back to a standard disk. I do not believe that is the case.
    It may be best to start with wiping the hard drive free of any changes that have been made. This guide for KillDisk should help with the process. Page 10 lists how to get the free version to accomplish the task of wiping the hard drive.
    Once the hard drive is wiped, it should be ready to be recovered using the recovery disks.
    Let me know what happens.

  • I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?

    I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?

    First, you cannot do this if you have a Boot Camp partition.
    Second: Create a new partition.
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
    Third: Install Snow Leopard.
    Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD. Follow instructions for installation being sure that before you actually install Snow Leopard you have selected the new partition as your target destination.
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
      1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
          appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
