Hard Drive Recovery Process has been selected

One day, while playing a game online, the computer screen went black and a blue box appeared that said "Hard Drive Recovery Process has been selected Press Yes if you wish to continue " Also, there was NO which only shut the computer down. YES took me to a blue screen with recovery and troubleshooting options. At first, none of these worked, or stayed. Because the next time I used my computer I would get the same Hard Drive Recovery Process message and had to try various things to make it work. I did purchase a Windows 8.1 recovery flashdrive from Toshiba and attempted to install it. It took about 6 tries for it to completely install. However, after installing, I was unable to use the RESTART option to power off the computer as it would trigger the Hard Drive Recovery Process again ! Ugh ! Last night, I powered the laptop off using SHUT DOWN and in the morning, I got the Hard Drive Recovery Process screen again, much to my horror. I have Norton Internet Security and Anti Virus as well as I used Toshiba maintenance tasks and no problems were found. I would appreciate any information on troubleshooting and repairing this problem, if there is a solution. Thanks !!!!!

I did purchase a Windows 8.1 recovery flashdrive from Toshiba ... after installing .. it would trigger the Hard Drive Recovery Process again
The fact that the problem remains after restoring the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media means the software doesn't cause it.
The computer needs servicing.

Will Time Machine identify a back up hard drive after main has been erased?

I went to the Genius Bar a couple of days ago and was told that in order to fix some of the problems I was having I should do a achieve and install (or maybe erase and install I can't remember.) Then use Time Machine to restore all the files on my computer except for the system and library folders (since there is a lot of stuff inside them that has been causing errors.)
My question is will Time Machine be able to identify my disk after the achieve and install? I looked at the Time Machine Backup from another start up disk and Time Machine just showed up blank. Is that what would happen if I wiped my drive? Or would that only happen if I completely erased the hard drive and not be an issue if I went with the achieve and install?

The Time Machine disk certainly shouldn't look blank - that could indicate a pro blem with your backups not running when you expect.
When you look at your Time Machine disk you should see a 'Backups.backupdb' dire ctory which contains subdirectories for each Time Machine snapshot.
If you don't see these then your Time Machine isn't backing up and you shouldn't re-install your machine :)
If you do see that, then you should be OK (as long as the subdirectories cover r ecent dates), in which case you can run the re-install - I'd go for a 'clean ins tall' and use the 'Copy my settings from a Time Machine backup' which is one of the options after the first boot.

My hard-drive was unplugged & has been erased Please Help!!

My hard-drive has been unplugged by my dog walking across me one too many times while I work I guess. There are files on here that aren't in other places. Is ther anything I can do? Sometimes it doesn't even show up when I plug it in. Other times I get an option to initalize and then I can see this if I click it. But I have not done anything yet. Is there hope to recover it?

Transfer songs from iphone to new mac (my hard-drive failed and has been replaced), some songs i have bought on itunes and others were old copies, any ideas?

hi
i have recently had my mac hard-drive replaced and consequently have lost all my old stuff - had to download a new itunes for example. i synced everything onto my iphone before it broke luckily. some songs i purchased on itunes, others i downloaded ages ago from CDs. how do i transfer these onto my itunes library again so i can sync?

iTunes can transfer your purchases or you can download them again. Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For songs ripped from CDs, you need to use a 3rd-party utility. Here are two that will help you.

Hard drive crashed and has been fixed/replaced, now I have new ipod, log in on itunes, and my library of songs is gone, although I can still see them in my purchase history. How can I get those songs back!?

My computer has crashed several times since I bought my first ipod in 2005. Recently, it crashed so badly that my fella who fixed it just wiped everything off it and reinstalled things. I have a new ipod now and just got my computer back. I log in to itunes, register my ipod, and, its bad enough that everytime my computer crashes and is fixed that itunes thinks I am connecting yet another computer to my account (it believes I have four computers/devices but I have only ever had one ipod and one computer simultaneously),. but on top of that, all my songs listed in my purchase history are not in my library. Hundreds of songs.
How can I download them again? I was told in the Apple Store to deauthorize the computer and reauthorize it and it should begin downloading my previous purchases into my library. I tried that, but to no avail.
Help anyone?

It is the users responsibility to maintain a backup of their files.
If you have failed to keep a backup, that is not good.
If the content is on your iDevice and it was purchased via iTunes, connect the device (DO NOT SYNC) then select File > Transfer Purchases.
If the content is on the device but was not purchased via iTunes, you're out of luck mostly. Do a google search, you can find utilities that will allow you to extract the content.
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, there is an option to redownload previously purchased iTunes content. To do this, in iTunes select Purchased, then at the bottom select Download Previously Purchased. There are options for Music, Apps, and iBooks. Select the "Not in My Library" option and download what you want.

NB200-10G - recovery process has failed - Setenv.ini issue

On the Recovery GUI (RecoGUI) screen appear a message box and a message :
"ERROR: Setenv file D:\Setenv.ini or X:\tools\Setenv.ini not found!"
has written on it.
then me tried to change the SATA Controller Mode in BIOS, from AHCI to Compatibility.
But this change does'nt have effect.
That error message still appear when I tried to recovery and i don't have a recovery disc.
what should i do ?
Thanks

Thats pity mate
Seems something went wrong with the HDD partition and HDD recovery procedure.
From my point of view there is not much to do
If the HDD recovery does not work, then you can install the OS only using an disk.
Either you will use an Toshiba Recovery disk or a common Windows disk.
Recovery disk can be ordered here:
https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
By the way; you will need an USB CD/DVD drive in order to install the OS from the disk.

When i run Time Machine to back up my computer onto an external hard drive, i have no way of knowing when the back up process has been completed. I don't know when it is safe to disconnect the external hard drive - which is store in a separate location.

When i run Time Machine to back up my computer on to an external hard drive, i have no way of knowing when the back up process has been completed. This is necessary to know because i don't leave my external hard drive connected to the computer. I routinely disconnect it after backing up the hard drive, and then i store the external hard drive in a different location from the computer. So, knowing when the back up process has been completed would be a very helpful thing to have the computer specify.

Just enable Time Machine's menu extra (System Preferences -> Time Machine -> Show Time Machine in menu bar.
This will add a little Time Machine icon to your menubar. When Time Machine is actively backing up your data, the icon will spin as a visual indicator. You can also click the menu icon to see the backup status, including how much data is left to back up.

What exactly are you referring to? Are the menus or templates for Pages in a different language? Does something strange appear on the screen when you type?
Could you perhaps use the Camera icon here to post a screenshot of what you are seeing?
To make sure you have the right keyboard, go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and make sure that only the box for US or British is checked (and that the box for French or German or anything else is not checked).

How could this have happened and what can I do to get it running again?

Didnt realize there was a response, late getting back to you.
Save your process files outside of the NI progam directory (you should have external backups already right ). THey should not be deleted.
Any customizations to the lookout.ini and lookout.sec file may be lost.

Recomendations for Hard Drive recovery tool

Does any one have a recommendation for a Hard Drive recovery tool?
My brothers external Lacie 200MB Firewire drive has crapped out. He has all his family movies (iMovie projects) stored on it so he really needs to recover the files if possible.
I have the drive now and have hooked it up to my machines and it is definitely in bad shape. At this point I can see the drive in the finder, but it doesn't appear to contain any files or folders. It also shows up in Disk Utilities, but a Verify Disk doesn't reveal any problems (and running "Repair Disk" returned "No repairs were necessary, the volume seems to be OK").
At this point the disk just appears to be empty. I am running a deep scan with Stellar Phoenix right now. Any suggestions on the best OS X recovery tools.
Thanks
EDIT:
oh, and the disk appears to be formatted HFS+
I was thinking about yanking the drive and installing it internally to the ide bus - don't know if this would make a difference.

Well, that’s a lot of interesting advice.
The first thing to do is NOTHING! Don’t try heroic efforts until you’ve explored all the demonstrably non-destructive ones.
First of all, if the drive mounts, gives no errors from the Finder or from Disk Utility but appears to contain no files, then the likelihood that this is a symptom of a hardware error is very small. Moving the drive to different enclosures or trying to connect it internally is probably not advisable.
Are you cerrtain the drive was not simply re-initialized? That would be the simplest explanation for there being no files apparent. If that’s the case, then surely a majority of the contents are recoverable, BUT NOT IF YOU DO ANYTHING FURTHER WITH THE DRIVE.
If you have recovery software that’s specifically designed to recover files from a re-initialized volume, use that. If not and you cannot acquire such software, and if the data is valuable enough, then I strongly recommend that you use a commercial data recovery service.
Unfortunately, I cannot give you any specific recommendations for diagnostic and repair software—I’ve been away from Mac OS too long.
I know this is not very specific, and I’m sorry for that. I’ll keep an eye out in case you have other questions that I might be able to answer.
Good luck.

Recovery partition has been removed

Hi sir
I recently purchased a HP pavilion g-1202 TX series, I have installed Windows 7 64-bit OS, I found that I had only single drive i.e. C: for use, thought of creating another partition and shrunk the C drive, after this I found that HP RECOVERY MANAGER SAYS "Recovery partition has been removed - the recovery media creation option is no longer available"
Then again I tried expanding the C: drive back to its old stage, even then I found the same error, Now how can I get back HP RECOVERY.? and create Recovery Partition?

if you havent created the recovery media already from your computer, there is only option to get media from HP.
contact HP to order Recovery media. in most countries you can order it online, else contact HP phone support.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=bph07143
if no option to order media for your country, contact country HP support.
visit www.hp.com and select country from the left botttom. now select contact HP or connect with HP. reach support to get a set of recovery media to make your computer recover and work as factory install.
hope it helps. Good Luck !!!

"Recovery Partition has been Removed" Message in Recovery Media Creation

HP Pavilion G4 2205tx - C5j09PA#UUF
Windows 8 64-bit
"Recovery Partition has been Removed" Message in Recovery Media Creation.
i bought My new HP pavilion G4 laptop just two days ago and didnt change any thing in two Drives named Drive C: for windows and D: for HP Recovery.
now i want to Make a Recovery Disk with HP Recovery Manager Software.
but it show a Massage: "Recovery Partition has been Removed" in Recovery Media Creation Section.
in My Computer Recovery Partition is Almost Full (3.26G of 25.5G is Free) . so i think Recovery files present there .
i haven't any Access to HP for Buy recovery disk or Call Support.
Thanks
This question was solved.

I don't know why your PC is saying your partition is gone - you're right, it doesn't look gone. I do know that if you use the Support Assistant to make backup copies of your Recovery Disks and Then instruct it to remove the recovery partition to give you more space on the hard drive, it will delete the HP factory image of Windows 8 from the recovery partition and leave the normal Windows repair tools behind.
There are tools however that allow you to create your own recovery partition complete with these Windows repair tools and a new image of your instalation so you can restore from that. You could use this tool: Windows 7/8 - OEM Recovery Partition Creator found here: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/21978-Windows-7-8-OEM-Recovery-Partition-Creator but thats a lot of work and it would be faster and easier just to backup your data and restore from your HP recovery disks you made from Support Assistant. If you didn't make the disks, HP may opt to send you a copy.. they do not normally do this but I have read that some people have good luck getting a free copy of the media from HP.. otherwise they want you to buy the recovery disks ($40.00) . I suppose it depends on the exact circunstances of your situation.
Another solution is to use Macrium Reflect Free Edition to ghost or clone your system. You can then restore your whole system even with your custom programs installed, to the exact state it was in when you made the backup image. ( this may take several dvd's) I suggest you go this route because restoring your system with Macrium Reflect is Much faster than restoring from the HP Recovery Disks. Even if you do obtain another copy of the Recovery Disks, you should use this tool to make another backup that you can customize to your liking. Your re-installs will be faster, they will already have your chosen software installed, and you will save wear and tear on your HP Recovery Disks. You can then safely delete the recovery partition to gain back that space on your hard drive (since you cannot access it anyway, you won't need that space being taken up). BUT.. you cannot restore from UEFI Mode which is what HP ships with. You have to go into your Bios settings, and switch to Legacy Bios mode, (which disables Secure Boot) FIRST or else the Macruim recovery boot disk will not load to install the recovery image. After the system re-installs you can go back into bios settings and disable Legacy bios and re-enable secure Boot if you like. ( Windows 8 will load in both UEFI mode with secure boot enabled or Legacy bios mode.. it's your choice. UEFI mode will load faster but it will cause problems if you want to dual boot the system with another OS) Hope this helps.

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!
