Had to order recovery discs and can't do a full system recovery
My recovery file on my hard drive was erased so I had to order recovery discs. I followed all of the instructons of turning computer on, inserting the 1st dvd, holding the power button to shut off the computer, turning it back on, pressing etc to reach options. Chose f9. Chose to boot from dvd/cd rom. When I do that, my computer acts like it was shut off prematurely and no recovery menu.
One of several possibilities. Your CD/DVD drive is not working well enough to boot from or possible that the Recovery Disc is defective. Do you have another machine you can test the discs on to see if they will boot?

Help Needed! Getting the files off the recovery disc and onto the computer. How?!?
Okay, I shut down my computer a few hours ago like normal and I restarted it again when I wanted to go on it which was later this evening. A screen popped up that said press enter to continue and a bunch of code, so I did just pressed 'Enter' like it asked. Then another screen came up that said, "Your computer could not start up, we are finding and fixing the problems, ect ect." And then there was a percentage at the bottom of how much was completed.
So after it was finished, my computer started to totally restart, like I just bought the computer. It had me remake everything. And when it was all done EVERYTHING except for the programs that came with the computer where gone. I noticed a recovery disc and how it was almost full, and it said it has all my programs on it and to not delete it. Well okay if it has all my programs....
How in the world do I get everything from the recovery disc back onto my computer?
Please comment on any information that can help!The recovery partition on the hard drive does not have your programs/files. It holds the files to reinstall Windows and all original software/drivers that came on the laptop. In other words, it does exactly what just occurred.

hello, I am trying to reinstall os x lion in my macbook pro mid 2012, from my recovery disc, and its imposible because every time I have problems to download de installer or something that is required to do that. what can I do?
When you do get it downloaded, before you do anything else, save the Lion installer - make a copy and put it somewhere safe. you can then reuse, make a clean install and other things.

Yes I strongly recommend making a clone you can boot from in addition to use TimeMachine.

Very Confused over Reinstall Discs, Recovery Discs and how do I CREATE THEM!
I am the owner of a Lenova IdeaCenter K300 Computer with Windows 7 64Bit OS
The system has been running for just about a year now...no issues, very stable...however after a recent issue with another computer MFG system...I have questions:
First the Other MFG system - The computer was purchased in April of 2008 with Windows Vista, the computer was unplugged on November 1, 2008 and stored in a cool Dry place....In October of 2011 My Godson wanted a new computer and I told him I have a computer that was lightly used and would do what he wanted it to do.
I plugged in a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and turned on the unit when MUCH to my surprise the HD had failed...BADLY...so I went to a local store, purchased a new HD and installed it on the machine.
First let me explain that this computer MFG after several calls to them looking for help.. explained to me the following
1: Reinstall Discs were NOT avail
2: The System did not support creating Recovery discs since all the information that the system needed was stored on
the Hard Drive that was supplied with the system...and that the OEM Windows VISTA version was available to use for
3 years
I said Okay, but I have a computer that had a HD failure so how do I go about reinstalling Windows Vista to get the computer up and running again? They told me that I had to PURCHASE from a store a copy of Windows Vista. I said that I had from two other computers from another MFG Windows Vista Reinstall Discs, can I use those, and use the Product Key code supplied by YOUR company to reintsall the OS? They said NO...you need the orginal Hard Drive....I was like WHAT!
Needless to say you can imagine my EXTREME frustration over not being able to get the computer up and running again. After several calls to the Presidents Office I was finally....after 6 weeks of battle able for a cost mind you of $19.99 to get physical DVD's to reintall Windows Vista onto the system - (they should arrive this week)
So now I am sitting in front of this LENOVA computer wondering ...Worse CaseScenerio...HD FAILURE...and lets face it it DOES HAPPEN.
so here are my questions
1: What is the difference between Recovery Disc and Reinstall Dics?
2: If this Lenova System can only Create Recovery Discs ...and the HD needs to be replaced will the Recovery discs reintsall Windows 7 on this system?
3: How do I create these discs...I found an option on Lenova Rescue System to create Recovery Discs but it was 24 4.5 GB DVD's to do this? Windows Vista only needed 2
Am I missing something here can some one Please help me
thank you!They should sell you recovery disc without any problems. If you call customer service and you feel that the conversation is going no ware you probably talking to wrong person. Disconnect and tray another time, you will never speak to the same person twice
OEM reinstall disc doesn’t need activation, retail windows disc needs but you have serial number on the sticker so just call Microsoft and activate it.
Recovery disc is a copy of your computer hard drive with windows, drivers, software included
Reinstall disc is the same for all computers with windows only, you have to install drivers and software separately
Reinstall OEM disc is only for Lenovo system but it is the same like retail windows disc with added pre-activation -

I'm getting the following error message when attempting to invoke "Find My Mac"
Some configurations such as a software or hardware RAID do not support a recovery partition and can't be used with Find My Mac.You have no recovery partition. This is a normal condition if your boot volume is a software RAID, or if you modified the partition table after running Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition. Otherwise, you need to reinstall OS X in order to add a recovery partition.
If you don't have a current backup, you need to back up before you do anything else.
You have several options for reinstalling.
1. If you have access to a local, unencrypted Time Machine backup volume, and if that volume has a backup of a Mac (not necessarily this one) that was running the same major version of OS X and did have a Recovery partition, then you can boot from the Time Machine volume into Recovery by holding down the option key at the startup chime. Encrypted Time Machine volumes are not bootable, nor are network backups.
2. If your Mac shipped with OS X 10.7 or later preinstalled, or if it's one of the computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery, you may be able to netboot from an Apple server by holding down the key combination option-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
3. Use Recovery Disk Assistant (RDA) on another Mac running the same major version of OS X as yours to create a bootable USB device. Boot your Mac from the device by holding down the option key at startup.Warning: All existing data on the USB device will be erased when you use RDA.
Once you've booted into Recovery, the OS X Utilities screen will appear. Follow the prompts to reinstall OS X. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
If none of the above choices is open to you, then you'll have to start over from an OS X 10.6.8 installation. There's no need to overwrite your existing boot volume; you can use an external drive. Install 10.6 from the DVD you originally used to upgrade, or that came with the machine. Run Software Update and install all available updates. Log into the App Store with the Apple ID you used to buy 10.7 or later, and download the installer. When you run it, be sure to choose the right drive to install on. -

I purchased Adope Photoshop Extended and loaded onto my laptop. I recently had to unintall all programs and can't seem to get Photoshop back on my computer. I have the Serial number but can't figure out how to reinstall.
I have the exact same question. I have the serial number too. I called Adobe help line, and they had a "technician" go into my computer and I thought he was going to reinstall. He just showed me why the computer runs slow and why it didn't reinstall, and then told me if I still wanted his help it would be $300-$400. !! i thought it was a help line.... how does that help? I didn't pay that much for the program!!
I desperately need help with this! -
computer crashed had to factory recover OS and can not play the 2 movies i purchased prior to computer crashing can not play and can not locate! How do I recover them?
You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma. -
Has anyone else had a problem with their nano sim slot bending snapping or breaking when they put their sim in!? I have had to order a replacement and only had the phone 5hours!

i Don't actually mean when you put it In the phone. I mean when you try to take the slot out of the phone with the pin. As soon as I pulled it out it bent.
That makes less sense as the sim tray a fairly stiff metal and should be pulled straight out once released. You didn't answer the question about where is was bought. Is is a real iPhone? -

Satellite C75D-A7370
ordered recovery media from Toshiba and installed it. .... I tried to call Toshiba support, but because I am outside my warranty, I was told I would be charged for support.
It is running Windows 8..even though it is supposed to be on 8.1 (according to the sticker on the bottom of the laptop).
The product key is buried in the hardware.
According to the spec above, the original model shipped with Windows 8 and needed to be upgraded. My guess is that they later shipped the same model with Windows 8.1.
It appears Toshiba shipped the wrong recovery media.
Explain that when you call. -
Creation of sales order in CRM and replicating it to Multiple ECC system.

We have checked the following standard Adapter objects in transaction R3AC1.
