Hi,
If the drive is not showing in the list of bootable devices, you can be fairly certain that it has suffered a Hardware failure and will need to be replaced.

  • Help! The new Pages. I can't copy an entire page or rearrange the pages. In the new formatt also when I insert a new page when using a template it doesn't give me the formatting and guides.  Can anyone help.

    I can't copy an entire page or rearrange the pages. I use this feature a lot, particularly at this time of year. Can't seen to rmove the header and footer markers either.
    Can anyone help or do I need to revert back to pages 09?
    If I do re-install 09 will I be able to open the files that where converted to the new version?
    I don't like this new one. Many of the graphics features have been removed.  Not impressed at all. Very frustrated.
    The business card templates and others behave strangly.  If I insert a page it's blank only. I don't get the guides.  I was in the middle of a design project and had to start again from scratch as it threw everything out of alignment  and I can't copy an entire page. When I use select all, group then copy when I pasted it on the new page it overlayed all the cards in the top two segments.  Frustrating !  I ended up  saving my first page under a different name that was the only way to copy the page then I had to work between three documents instead of one.
    I went in today to last years Christmas tag file and the same issues I can't copy a page. I can't rearrange the pages.
    Simple features like colour choice and transperency for shapes are gone. I want to use my colour choices not someone else.
    Sorry, I am ranting.
    For now all I need is to be able to copy and switch pages around in one document.
    Please Help! I am about to start pulling my hair out in frustration.

        Yes, I am using 09 with out issues.  Just have to remember to use "open with 09" or open pages 09 first then my document.
      I create some amazing cards and posters with 09 that when on a PC I would have to use both Word and Publisher to create.  Flipping back and forth. 
      Apple if you're  listening please, give us back our layout options and even add a few more design options like beveled and 3D text.

    Hi Coralienz,
    Can you please check the value of the registry entries at the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    In case the values for any of the entries (i.e. Common AppData, Common Desktop, Common Documents etc.) is referencing to E:\, change the value back to look something like below and you should be good to go.

  • My ipad 1 isnt working it is just showing the apple logo on the screen can anyone help me?

    my ipad 1 isnt working it is just showing the apple logo on the screen can anyone help me?
    If you can help me facetime me at [email protected] or msg me.

    It would help to know whether it ever did work, or is this a new iPad for you?  If new, you need to connect it to a Mac/PC that's running iTunes in order to register and initialize it.  If it used to work, try doing a reset.

    Hi Tudor_ke,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    I’m sorry to hear that the Webcam is not detecting in device manager even after re-installing the drivers as well as performing OKR (One Key Recovery) in your U310 Laptop, I suggest you to press Fn+Esc keys together and check if the webcam gets listed in Device manager, if the issue persists. I suggest contacting our Technical Support Team to get the details of the nearest Authorized Service Center to get the issue analyzed.
    Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
    Do post us back for further queries.

  • I have just taken delivery of a brand new 15" macbook pro, tried migration assistant from a time machine backup, music, photos, programs etc. They now take up 350gb of my hard drive but the files are nowhere to be found? can anyone help?

    Set migration assistant to run whilst on a lunch break, given that it needed 2 hours or so, when i returned all programs and applications had moved across from my time machine backup of a now dead 15"macbook pro 2009 edition running snow leopard...When i look at my new system information it shows my new 500gb drive is full of music, movies and photos and has only 168gb free, not enough to run a new migration and i don't have any boot disks for Lion so really don't want to erase the hard drive. To compound the problem i'm in Vietnam where there isn't a genius bar just around the corner, or even an aasp within 700km - what should I do?

    Is the HDD in the 2009 15" MBP dead?  (The original source of your data)  If not, you might want ot take it out and put it in an enclosure.
    You might try spotlight on know files to see if that gives you any clues where your data is located.
    You might down load from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It should show you all of the files you have on your MBP and enable to locate them.
    Ciao.

  • I can no longer download in Safari.  The Download tab does not show up in toolbar any  longer. Can anyone help?

    I like to download old music videos from the 50's.  Recently the Download tap in Safari does not show up anymore.  It's as if I did something that may have deleted it.  I can't find away to get it back.  For now I've switched to my Google App which works just fine.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    Start downloading the music video.
    The Download button should appear when you start downloading anything from the web.
    If the download list is empty, download button will not be shown by default.
    Best.

  • When I try to format an external hard drive for Mac it keeps coming up as 'error'. Can anyone help me?

    I've followed the instructions on the online tutorial but when it is trying to erase the data it comes up with 'volume erase failed, could not unmount disk'.

    FAT works great, but the problem is that it's old and that you can't store files that are bigger than 4 GB. In this case, you have exFAT, a filesystem compatible with OS X and Windows, but I don't think that the TV will read it.
    If you want to use NTFS, you need a third-party application to be able to write in it on OS X, like Paragon NTFS
