How can I manually install software from recovery partition?

Hi,
I'm looking for information about how install preinstalled software after OS upgrade.
As far as I can see, it is done through 3 different locations:
Recovery partition (D: drive)
SMINST Folder (located in %Windows%)
hp Folder (invisible folder in C
First step is to identify the machine (brand/model) to allow installation.
Then, scripts will install packages.
It should the be possible to manually install the software from the recovery partition.
As far as this software is bought with the computer (so part of the price) and there is no way of getting the original installers from the support website (only updates available), it would be "fair" to be able to perform a manual install...
Is there anyone with this knowledge?
Thx in advance for your help.

I cannot believe no one replied to you. I am having the same problem. I can print but not scan thru the MFNP feature. I'm not sure how/why it is working for printing. I setup the print driver on all my client laptops to my wifi router/access-point such that its SNMP-enabled on channel 1. The MNFP port said 161 on the printer when it was working. Not sure these two protocols are the same... SNMP and MNFP. I think the latter is Canon's own protocol...not sure how to get it to work with my network. I have a Netgear RV6300 access point connected via wired ethernet to the cable modem which is by Arris (one of those all-in one routers/switch/WAP -- but I'm using the Netgear as my WAP for my WLAN, although the printer gets a DHCP assigned IP on the main router - 10.0.0.9) At one point I had it set up as static IP 10.0.0.200. Maybe I will switch back to that...don't know if it will fix scanning though.

Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5?

Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks

Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.

How can I manually attach images from my photo booth (imported into iPhoto) to emails? Auto function, in photo booth has my photos lying sideways?

How can I manually attach images from my photo booth to iCloud emails?
They are imported as 'events' into my iphoto library.
Auto function, in photo booth has my photos lying sideways when placed in 'mail' emails?

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

How do I create an install disk from recovery partition to install on a blank hd

So, my hard drive is slowly dying . . . about all I'm able to access is the recovery partition. I bought a new hard drive to replace it, but no longer have the install disks that came with the computer. How do I make install disks from the recovery partition that I can use to install Mountain Lion back onto the new hard drive?

You have two possibilities:
1. Open App Store > Purchases and download Mountain Lion. When the download has finished, open Lion Diskmaker to make a bootable Mountain Lion USB drive > http://blog.gete.net/lion-diskmaker-us/
2. Download Recovery Disk Assistant from the Support website to create a Recovery HD on your USB drive.
The difference between them is that the first contains OS X Mountain Lion, so you won't have to download Mountain Lion from the App Store when you are going to install Mountain Lion

How can I stop Air Software from appearing on my screen?

Every time my computer starts back up, a small window appears in the lower right of my screen from Air Software. It's telling me I need to download to clean up my PC. I checked and found that I really don't want to download anything from this site. But, how can I stop it from appearing?

If we assume it's some kind of malware, I suggest the following:
(1) Open the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Supplement your regular security software by running the scanning/cleaning tools listed in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These are free, and take time to run. If they seem to finish quickly and requiring payment, you may have a serious infection.

How can I prevent rogue software from installing itself via Firefox on my system?

I don't know if this malware is exploiting a hole in Win7 or Firefox or both.
So bear with me in my description. I am trying to ascertain if there are Win 7 security settings or configuration changes I can make to eliminate this. Or are there Firefox configuration settings I can change to prevent this or both. Did not find any help articles that seemed to address this from the search arguments I thought to use.
In the last two weeks I have had two different "security product" windows activate on my Win7 Pro system. Somehow they prevented my starting anything else such as task manager. My AV application detected attempt to create outgoing internet connection in both instances. In either case I ceased using my system as soon as the malware Window activated. I was burned by a third party cookie exploit last year. If you clicked anything, you were toast, such as a "do you really want to navigate away from this page?" warnings. Didn't get one of these messages this time with either of these. But in both instances, registry entries were created for this malware and it installed itself in the following directory path, C:\users\{myID}\appdata\local\temp\ as dtjupjnml\lcuatursjmo.exe s well as registry entries under dtjupjnml and lcuatursjmo after searching with the regedit FIND feature. I didn't recall the names from the first instance, but it installed exactly the same way.
This did not come from an e-mail attachment or link. I don't do those.

How can i migrate my software from a macbook pro to a mini server

So i have bought a new Mac Mini Server but now i want to migrate my MacBook Pro User Profile, Data Files and Software to it. yet it would appear that there is no migration agent to use which implies that Apple miss an important part of the Mac experience.
So if any body out there has a solution i would welcome your input. i had thought about using the push option from the MacBook Pro migration Agent but not sure if that would work.
Charles

Well OK you can not use the migration assistant because there isn't one for SL Server and it looks that if you want to migrate from a MBP to server as a user you have 2 choices manually move the item you want to an identical user on the server or create the user and bild the software and move the data required.
how ever i have had a result in using the 2nd drive for just SL, when I spoke to the tech at the apple store yesterday he said use a retail copy of OSX SL which wont boot but apply update 10.6.8 combo and the system will then boot and bingo you will have a dual boot machine. "Ho No you Won't" firstly once you run the install from the CD which has to be triggered from Server the machine will reboot after copying the packages to the new drive but does not run them to build the SL system so you have nothing to install the update onto hence doesn't work.
Here's the suprise I had a copy of my MBP on a spare hdd produced by Carbon Copy, so I attached this the a FireWire case to the mini held the alt key down and powered up. much to my suprise the mini booted into the external drive hold my MBP copy of SL. from then on in it was just a case of copying the drive using carbon copy to the 2nd drive on the mini and hey presto reboot and i now have both server and and non server mini in one box.
Sometimes you just get Lucky.

Can't Re-Install Lion from Recovery HD - Internal Drive Locked and Grayed Out

I can't boot into Lion on my Macbook Pro. I can boot into Bootcamp. When I'm in Bootcamp, using MacDrive, I can access all my files on my main Lion partition. I can also boot into the Recovery HD. From there I can get to Disk Utility which tells me that I need to repair my Lion partition. When I run the repair, it tells me it can't be repaired.
Given that I can still access all my files from Bootcamp, I tried to re-install Lion using that selection from the Recovery HD menu. It verifies my Lion copy over the internet. But when it asks me to designate the drive that I want to re-install Lion on, the drives (Bootcamp, Recovery and Mac) are all grayed out and all say "Disk is Locked". I'd rather not reinstall from my Time Capsule back up because of the time involved, the fact that the backup is a week old and because I dropped the !@#$ external drive with the back up on it yesterday and I don't trust it (it's making weird noises).
I've tried booting up in safe mode and ctrl-sys-r-p but all that happens is hours of watching the wheel spin. I had not set up File Vault so it shouldn't be for want of a File Vault password.
Any idea how I can unlock the drive to at least try to re-install Lion?

Thanks for the idea. I do have another Macbook at home although it's quite a bit older and I've only upgraded it to Snow Leopard, but I'll certainly give it a try. I've already tried what would seem to be about the same thing with, unfortunatley, no luck. I have an old hard drive (running Snow Leopard) that used to be the internal drive in my Macbook Pro. When I pulled it out, I stuck it in an enclosure. When this problem cropped up, I plugged it into the Macbook Pro that's giving me grief (via USB), booted up on the enclosed drive, and ran the disk utility off of that drive against the current internal HD of the Macbook Pro. All I got was the "can't be repaired" message.

How can I move redeemed software from one mac to another

I work in a Higher Education establisment in the uk. We have purchased multiuser licenses for various apps including Final Cut Pro X. Past experience has led me to ask this question...... How do I uninstall software software redeemed from the App Store on one lab of macs and re-install it on another lab of macs ?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
That is a question that you should probably be asking of the folks at Apple from whom you received the licenses, since they are the folks in the know about the legal remifications involved.

How can i manually install the swz files in the assetcache!

I have a computer that has no internet connection, and since i use components from SDK 4.1 and want to run my application anywhere,
i need to do a "manual update of flash" and have it register the external swz files.
If this is not possible, then maybe it could be possible to have all components compiled into one, and only one, swf file, so i can copy that file
to the "offline" pc.
I really believed, that the "merge into code" actually compiled everything into the code, but i must have misunderstood.
I have tried to "reset" the swc components, so they do not use the download url, from adobe, but it makes no difference, and i have edited the flex-config.xml file in the SDK's framework folder, but no luck so far.
Any hints are welcome,
TIA
Allan

Hi Gurdeep
I removed the fpdownload references, and set the use-network=false and the static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true.
i use the rpc_xx.swz, sparkskins_xx.swz, spark_xx.swz, texlayout_xx.swz, framework_xx.swz and osmf_flex_xx.swz libs.
I have a master swf file, compiled in flash builder, and a child-swf that is loaded from the master (using the mx.swfloader), and the child is compiled using the mxmlc commandline compiler.
I am investigating, if the child could be the culprit.
I have tried to find a way to "install" the required components in the assetcache, but found no other way than "copying the swz and heu files" there myself.
It actually works, but it would be nice to do this "the proper way"
Thankx

Can't install Lion from Recovery partition

Trying to install from the Recovery HD and run the installer, connect to the App Store, and then get to this
It's been sitting there for a couple of hours. I can use other computers to access the Internet so it's not a web connection problem. This is not good. Always hated the idea that you need a net connection to install the OS, and now it's coming to bite me. This is truly, appalling abysmal. This installation method should be an embarrassment to Apple.
Any suggestions to get around this mess would be greatly appreciated.

Tom,
When you get the installer downloaded please do not click on the Install button. Make a copy and save it in your Downloads folder. Later you can make a bootable USB flash installer:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
    Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
    Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
    the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
    must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
    installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
      side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.
      Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
      partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
      the process has completed.
d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
      list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
      button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
     drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
b. Open Disk Utility.
c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
As an alternative to the above (you still have to do your own download of Lion/Mountain Lion) you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process of Steps 2 through 4.

How Can I Re-Install Software on Nokia N97 Mini??

HELLO!
My brother bought a Nokia N97 Mini.
I guess it has a custom firmware, because it doesn't have the option for Software Update and when I connect it to the computer, it doesn't have the option for selecting "PC Suite" (Only gives me USB and CAM) so I haven't been able to update it or re-install it using the NSU.
Is there a way I can RE-FLASH the FW with the original Nokia Software or fix it in another way?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dialling *#06# should give you the IMEI number of the phone. Check the Imei number at this page: http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr
I cannot guarantee that the page is 100% correct, but it has never failed me checking the IMEI number.
Don't post the IMEI here at this forum, but what does the site tell you about the device?
E.g. I just checked my HTC desire for fun now, and the site tells me that the IME number entered belongs to a HTC desire A8181 which is correct.
The site should tell you that you have a Nokia n97 mini and maybe some more info.
You can also compare the looks of your device to Nokias pictures of it here:http://www.nokia.co.uk/find-products/all-phones/nokia-n97-mini/gallery
Anyway, if it's a real Nokia but someone has managed to install a custom fw which is not (seems obviously to me) from a operator, the device is not under warranty.
