Everything has worked so far, I have freed up about 75GB that is in between OSX and my 8.1 Bootcamp Partition, however I can't for the life of me seem to make a working Linux USB. How can you make a BOOTABLE (from this retina macbook pro) Live CD with Gparted. What tools/ISO did you use?

If you can reach the Recovery Environment by booting that, try the Startup Repair and let us know what happens. Sometimes you need to run it more than once.

- Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
- Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

If restoring using a backup doesn't help, try restoring the iPhone to factory settings and try for a while with just the Apple-included apps, to make sure it's not an issue with a third-party app. If it still has problems, it may have a hardware problem and will need to be sent to Apple.

H9-1150 PC wont Boot with WIndows 7 Premium 64 bit with ASUS 960 GTX Card.

I saw others have posted simular issues but i thought id repost this again in case there is more help. I have the Pavalion Elite Phonix h9-1150 desktop with Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit. and the HP 7.07 bios (seems no way to upgrade the bios).
The issue is like others have had i install the new graphics card the Asus 960 GTX Card which came out last month and the system starts up gives about 3 beeps in about 30 seconds each and then it goes to a black screen with a blinking curser and nothing else happens. cant enter bios or the HP settings..
I did try to disable UEFI boot devices in the bios settings and only enable legacy devices (after switching back to my original card then switching to the new card) but it still gives the 3 beeps upon booting. However i was able to enter windows. though i think it may be due to shutting off the computer with the old card in without powering down first. and after the 3 beeps happens (which still locks you out of the bios menu) it shows up the window where you can select safe mode or normal mode.. as sometimes happens if you boot up your computer with windows 7 if you had just turned it off without powering down or something. Through that i am able to enter windows and run the PC and graphics card with no issue its just when i try to boot the issue happens.
and No HP suppor it is NOT a defect with the Card itself. Like many before. i bought a EVGA Card a while back a 780 GTX and the SAME issue happend (though i didnt try the removing the UEFI boot devices then) ...
There is a spacific issue with HP computers that seem to lock out "new" hardware from booting.
Honestly ill be blunt. I really think this is poor doings I read somewhere that while HP will never state it they do this on purpose to prevent people messing up warrenty or any "liabity" occuring by people installing other hardware onto HP stock computers
that makes no since to me. the PC SHOULD be able to run the card. in fact its running it now once i was able to bypass the lock out (temporarly) check benchmarks everyhting is fine the card runs 3 times faster then the old one (as should be the case).
But its just this lockout that HP for some reason has installed on their bios/motherboards that is the issue.
Good news is i got it from amazon and i have about a month till i have to return it. which i think this time i will do. to see if anything crops up in a month or something.
The ONLY solution it seems HP offically has is that to disable secure boot under windows 8
but this is not a windows 8 computer. and i do assume even if iINSTALL windows 8 . the issue would not go away because since its an older bios there would be no way to have a secure boot option to remove?
HP you really need to get on the ball and give us a direct reply on this. Is there ANY WAY to fix this? Can you not simply make a update of older bioses to allow this? Or do you just not want to worry about older pCs?
either way i think this is wrong and very frustrating and to be honest. If this is the case when my pc otherwise SHOULD run the card
its a PCI express 16x slot that is 3.0
here is the deetailed specs as per your page
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03273835
the card SHOULD WORK fine. I thought the 780 GTX was a bit too much for the PC as it had more then a six pin port and needed a bit more power so at first i thought that was the issue. so i returned it. and got this new card now.
however the ASUS 960 GTX card requires the SAME power supply as the default GTX 550 Ti card and the SAME SIX PIN connector
so it SHOULD work.
and benchmarks show that it DOES its just the stupid bios ..that is having the issue.
i am afraid to power down the computer at the moment and try again to see if windows boots normally after disabling the UEPI boot devvices because it may not boot properly.......
HP you are one of the biggest suppliers of computers you know technology these are YOUR computers. WHY cant you give us a direct awnser over this.
ITS VERY frustrating
and to be honest if i cannot resolve this issue i am very hestient to ever buy another HP product if their computers spacifically have this new hardware lockout mode.
because i have the card running now on my pc it runs great! 3 times faster as it should! and yet i know in the back of my mind if i cant figure out this issue likely ill just have to send it back.........least i have some time.
and right now i dont have the money to buy a new pc . this PC is JUST fine for what i need for now other then wanting a bit better card...
it shoudnt be this much of a hassle should it?
Thank you.

Hi,
You need the BIOS update that is listed under Windows 8 in order to support the newer graphics. You need to upgrade to Windows 8 or temporarily install Windows 8 so that you can install the BIOS update. While there may be other ways to install the BIOS update, clearly having Windows 8 running will be the safest way. The version 8 BIOS is your best chance at getting the newer graphics cards to work.
You can trial Windows 8 Enterprise for 90 days.
If you decide to install W8, then create the HP external recovery media and backup your data before you do anything.
The reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

New Z87-G45 wont boot to windows - restart loop

I purchased a new MSI Z87-G45 Mobo and i5 4440 and now I cant boot into windows.
It was blue screening but now it just gets to windows load screen for a second and then restarts.
I have an older sata HDD would that be the issue?
I was able to install windows on a new SSD and it boots and works fine so its obviously something to do with the older HDD.

you can't boot from older OS installation on new different mobo

HP 8740w WH279UA wont boot after Windows 7 Updates

Hi!
Thank you all for reading my case. I'm the happy owner of a HP 8740w, I have 20GB of RAM and 500GB hard drive. My litle monster has been working perfectly for the last year and a half.
My problem began last night while I was doing a fresh Windows 7 Pro Installation, I did this after installing Windows 8.1 on the laptop and I was not happy with the overall system performace. these are the steps I run before the computer stopped working:
1. Boot from Windows 7 Pro DVD
2. Delete/Create/Format hard drive
3. Computer Boot Ok
4. Installed Wifi Driver Ok
5. Downloaded all System Drivers from HP website
6. Installed all System Drivers
7. Reboot computer it showed 107 windows Updates to be applied
8. Computer Rebooted 2 times while configuring updates
9. Computer Failed to Boot
Now every time I boot the computer the Caps Lock and Num Lock leds Blinks 3 times, according to HP Web Site the 3 times blinking leds indicates Memory Chip failure, these are the steps i tried to troubleshoot the memory error:
1. Boot the computer with the combination of the 4 memory so-dimms, failed
2. Boot the computer without memory, failed
3. Boot the computer without memory, and without hard drive, failed
4. Boot the computer without memory, hard drive, and motherboard battery, failed.
I reallt don't understand how can this had happend to my laptop. Warranty ranned out on 2013 so i'm not elegible to request a replacement. any ideas?

OS 10.5 - Boot Camp - Windows won't read Mac Disc for Driver Install

Hello everyone.
I have been through half a dozen headaches and a dozen hours of time wasted on this problem. I've tried multiple windows discs untill finally I bought a brand new version of Windows XP Pro. I've followed all of the instructions in my printed boot camp manual and I continously run into one problem:
Once windows is installed completely and I am at the windows desktop and need to eject the windows disc and insert the leopard disc to install drivers, I do so and windows does not recognize the mac disc whatsoever. It says the drive is empty, it is 0kb of 0kb, I cannot explore the drive, I cannot do anything. If I open it it is blank. I cannot access the internet in any way on windows because there are no corresponding drivers.. so I am at a loss.
Can anyone please help me? What do I do? I really apologize if this question has been answered, but I could really use some help.

Hi Sotaris,
It's a little vague what you mean by the "leopard disk". Do you mean the disk of drivers Boot Camp burns, or the actual Leopard installation DVD?
What you're supposed to do is launch Boot Camp while booted to the Mac OS. One of the first things it does is create a CD of Windows drivers that XP will need for your Mac. So you must have a CD-R or CD-RW on hand.
After that, Windows XP is installed. When that's done, there will be a number of hardware components that XP naturally doesn't recognize. That's when you insert the driver disk Boot Camp creates. I may have listed the order of things a little bit off here, but the main point is it sounds like you're skipping, or missing the part to create the Windows driver disk and trying to put the Leopard DVD in the drive.
