Compaq cq58 won't restore after automatic repair

My computer went blank and froze try to do task management to close them down but it wouldn't even come up it was just frozen. Turned laptop off and restarted. Now it diagnosis the PC and goes to automatic repair but won't move from there. What do I do I have all my kids pictures my university work final year with dissertation please help me

I suggest removing the hard disk, putting it in a usb enclosure so it can be connected to another PC.
Once it has been connected to another PC, Windows Explorer will come in handy.
You wil be able to copy the important files and work from the hard disk to an external storage device.
When you have done that it will be time to use the recovery media to run a factory image recovery that will recover you notebook to a useable state.

Installing after automatic repair of the computer

Dear all,
I bought Adobe Design Std 6 version during my stay in Japan (in March 2014) and all documentation is in Japanese language (of course I can follow the numbers and all other numerical information on my licence). Everything worked well.
But my computer did automatic repair and now I do not have Adobe Illustrator in my computer (laptop). How to do re-installation without any payments?
Best wishes
Liisa

Apple I-phone won't restore after downloading new software.. error 29

i tried to download the new software for my i-phone through itunes but now it's saying it won't restore due to an error 29... can someone please help me???

I'm surprised no one answered this. Someone please help, I have a very similar issue. I will start a new thread.

My iphone 5s won't restore after my phone cut off during an automatic download of ios 8.

A call dropped while talking on the phone. From that point on I was unable to use the phone, internet, voicemail, etc. All other functions and programs were still working, email (through airwatch), texting, calendar, contacts, etc. At the time ios 8 was downloading. After download, through my computer ( without the computer it was giving me a download time of 16 hours) completed I was unable to install the the update and still lacked phone capability. I restarted and still nothing. I backed up the phone to I tunes, at which point ios 8 was then installed to itunes on my computer and have since been unable to restore the iphone.
My phone just finished trying to restore again. It ran through all of the motions of veryfing with apple, restoring the phone, verifying the restore, extracting files, and then quit on the final firmware phase with an error message that reads: The iphone "iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3). The first time it failed it recognized the phone name but now shows up with "iphone" as the name and does not even list the serial number.
Any suggestions? Thank You.

Is your old backup still listed in iTunes/Preferences/Devices?
Also shown in this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
You might have to deactivate Find my iPhone in iCloud before you can restore it.

External drives won't mount after running repair permissions

None of my external drives will mount after running disk permissions. Drives work fine on my mbpro.
None of the external drives show up in disk utilities...
I've try shutting down and unplugging computer. even mini zip drives won't mount.
I'm running 10.4.11
PPC G5 2.3Ghz
Thanks for any help..

Repairing Permission only deals with installer receipts and system components. Not with mounting or accessing hard drives.
Have your run Apple DU First Aid? Disk Warrior? Only use latest version for your OS.
Are you trying to clone your system to external and then repairing permissions? trying to boot from them?
If cloning, make sure the "Ignore Ownership" flag is unchecked before cloning (but do repair permissions on external drives you intend to boot from, such as a Firewire drive).
What type of cases and interface are these?

System won't load after startup repair - Satellite A500

Hi guys,
I've got a problem with my laptop. I shut down my laptop directly by switching off from the switch. After I start the laptop the system recommends startup repair but it was unable to repair and after that it just went up to the welcome page and it won't load anymore.
Do anyone have any idea what is the problem?
Thank you

hi plioe,
can you run chkdsk on the hdd?
do you hear unusual sounds from the harddisk?
it seems that your harddisk has some problems...
this causes a slow startup or failure to boot...
but to be sure a recovery is recomended in some cases the software configuration went bad...

My Ipod Touch won't restore after full reset!!! please help fast!!!

My Ipod touch 3g 8gb on 3.1.3 got some major problems recently. When I wanted to take a snapshot it just doesn't appear in photos. When I wanted to save an image from Safari it doesn't appear in photos. Then I got fed up and pressed Reset Settings. That finished and the photos problem wasn't solved. Still. I chose Reset all settings and content. I confirmed it and Ipod Touch was doing it for like 20-25min. After that it just won't start up. I am trying to restore it right now with iTunes and again to 3.1.3 (3.1.2 or other doesn't work). I clicked restore, everything went fine but now, it is stuck at like 95% and won't move. I really don't know what I did wrong and what I have to do to fix it. Any suggestions?

Iphone won't restore after last update error -34

AFter this last update, my 3GS won't do a full restore. It keeps saying that iTunes was interrupted and gives error (-34). Any help please??

I just got the iPhone 4S today, and previously had the 3GS. I started my iPhone as a "new" one in the store, but then I lost all my app data. So, I thought I'd restore it and backup from a version of my old iPhone. Before it would restore, it had to download 5.0.1. As it restored (and this has happened twice), the progress bar in iTunes made it about 99% of the way across, and on the phone it stopped at about 2/3rds. I checked the trash and the 5.0.1 file wasn't there (just 5.0 from my old phone). What can I do?

IPhone won't restore after update to iOS 5

I recently tried to upgrade to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 but whenever I do, I receive the message: "iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone “Thundercracker”. Would you like to restore this iPhone again now?" I've tried several times, with no interruptions, and can not get the iPhone 4 to restore from backup. The last backup was made immediately before the update and the iPhone was pretty full before upgrading.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas on how to get my information back?

When I tried to update to ios5 it gave me an error as well and stayed on the iTunes screen saying the device is in recovery mode along with an error number. Now,I had gone to apple store previously with this issue when tryin to restore my iPhone only. They said that sometimes the software might be crashing because of an app. The solution is to restore it as a New Phone. Then Put everything back manually. So when I was on the process of installing the new iOS 5 the error seemed to be similar and apple gives you all the troubleshooting codes and fixes. I had to put a command before proceeding. I did that and it seemed to work for one of the iPhones, I was updating 2 iPhones at the time. Then for the other one when it stayed on the iTunes screen I just disconnected and connected the USB cable again and instead of doin update I did restore first and then update and that solved the problem. After restoring it will automatically update and put the information you had before the update back to your iPhone .

Hp compaq 6510b won't start after BIOS update

hello
when I power on my laptop HP compaq 6510b it DISPLAYS this message :your bios failed to complete the update 6510b.after flashing the bios the laptop won't start .it displays the same message (your bios failed to complete the update 6510b) and turns off.I can't access the bios by pressing F10.the bios version was F16 and flash it by F20 .need help thank u very much.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I extracted BIOS softpaq sp55553. It is BIOS version F.20. It had the .SIG file inside when extracted using WinZip. You do not need to make a bootable usb flashdrive. Just put the files at the root of a FAT32 formatted usb thumbdrive, plug it into a usb 2.0 port. Hold the Win + B keys down and press the power button. Continue holding the keys down until the notebook reacts. It usually takes a bit longer than 15 seconds to respond and begin the BIOS recovery.

Ipod Touch won't restore after memory cleared

Hi,
i have an ipod touch 2g that was on 3.1.2 software, and i needed to clear memory and start over. i clicked the option "erase all content and settings" in the settings menu of the ipod.
after it had finished clearing the memory i plugged the ipod back into the computer and put it into the mode with the cable and the itunes icon (the mode that it was in when it came in the box) after it went into that mode it showed up on itunes as a "device that needs to be restored", so i clicked restore, it extracted firmware, and now has been stuck on "waiting for ipod" for 10 hours, with the ipod's screen showing an apple and an empty loading bar (has stayed empty for 10 hours)
anyone help?
thanks in advance

Welcome to the discussions,
Did you try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If this does not work, locate the *.ipsw firmware file on your computer and copy it to a save place and delete the original file, leave the folder empty and don't delete it. This will make itunes get a new copy from Apple instead of using the one stored on your computer, maybe it got damaged. Then try again to restore.

Z10 won't restore after changing BB ID

I had to wipe my z10 after changing mail addresses and forgetting my password.
I did a full back up prior to the wipe, created a new BB ID, and tried to restore. But I just get a message saying that the BB ID for all my data is different and the restore fails. What now?

Do you now have a new BB ID or did you just change the password ?,
At the top of Link software, are you signed in ?
If you have different BB ID's you will not be able to restore.
Also you would not be able to retrieve your BBM contacts and messages.

IPhone images won't restore after phone reset

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me as my wife's iPhone completely froze up after synching with the latest version of iTunes. In the end, the only thing she could do was re-set the iPhone, thereby of course losing everything. Reconnecting to her laptop restored music and most apps, it seems she has to re-download the other apps again direct to the phone.
Now the problem is images. There is an ipod cache directory on the laptop Pictures directory, and in this are folders labelled F00, F01 etc.. and a "Photo Database" file.
In each of the Fnn directories is a series of files, called Txxx.ithmb, each of which is about 1,500KB. Doing a backup from the laptop indicates there are about 2900 files overall.Altogether there is about 3GB in this folder, so it looks to be a lot of space.
Pointing iTunes to the directory containing all this and synching, still results in zero images being found.
She went to the local Apple store for help, to be told these are not the images, but then elsewhere I have read that these are the full files, and this proprietary format contains three different resolution images. If the images taken on the iPhone are not here, where are they?
Finally, how on earth do we convince iTunes to recognize these files and imporrt them again?
Sorry to be thick but losing everything thanks to the latest iTunes was rather catastrophic! Any help/ideas/suggestions greatfully received...
The photo files were a mix of photos taken on the iPhone and images previously uploaded from the laptop.
Cheers
Chipontheroad

You should ALWAYS make sure that everything on your iphone is also on your computer BEFORE you do any update/reset/restore/etc.
You should be importing you photos taken with iphone to your computer regularly as you would from any digital camera, most especially before an update/restore/etc.
You can try restoring from backup. If this does not find the pics, then they are gone.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Photos that were synced to your iphone from your computer are not included in the backup at all as they should be on your computer ( they came from there in the first place), as well as in your regular backup of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.

It won't restore after Updating to IOS 6

After updating to IOS 6 my ipod shows the following message constantly "itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode you must restore this ipod", I need HELP!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

MACBOOK PRO / WON'T REBOOT / AFTER AUTOMATIC MAC UPDATE 06.FEB.2013

I am using Macbook Pro Mid 2010 with OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
JUST RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION THAT APP STORE DID SOME UPDATE SO MAC NEEDS TO RESTART.
I CLICKED "YES".
NEXT THING I KNOW IS THAT IT IS UPDATING/INSTALLING, AND IT ATTEMPTS TO REBOOT. BUT IT DOESN'T.
ACTUALLY IT SHOWS THE USUAL START UP WHITE/OFF-WHITE COLOR SCREEN WITH THE APPLE LOGO IN THE MIDDLE, AND THERE IS A "DOWNLOAD/INSTALL HORIZONTAL BAR". IT "SHADES/DONE" AROUND 20% AND THEN THE MAC GOES OFF. BLACK SCREEN. SWITCHES OFF.
I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES. BUT RESULT IS BAD. NO LUCK.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WAS THIS UPDATE. I WAS TIRED SO I DIDN'T PAY ANY ATTENTION.
PLEASE HELP.
P.S.
I HAVE SOME IMPORTANT DOC,S AND DIDN'T BACKUP (TIME-MACHINE) FROM LAST 25 DAYS

Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup
If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
