How do I reinstall after hard drive change?

Been running Lion since its release and now it will not boot up. My hard drive is one year old and Lion, thru Disk Utility, is saying that my hard drive is bad. I'm going to change my hard drive but am wondering how do I get Lion back on the new hard drive that I'm installing.

  • How do I unactivate after hard drive crash?

    Just purchased an upgrade to CS6 Photoshop from CS3 Photoshop but hard drive crashed before I could uninstall it. How do I deactivate after hard drive crash? Do I need to or can I just load my full CS3 copy and then upgrade it to my new CS6?

    You can just install CS6 directly.  You will be prompted to enter your qualifying serial number from CS3 during the install process.

  • Random restarts after hard drive change!!

    Hi guys, I have a Late 2009 15" MacBook Pro (Unibody) A1286 that recently had a hard drive change due to the stock one coming close to failure. After a couple hours of usage, It suddenly freezes (and if i'm playing audio, it sounds like a broken record for a second) and restarts and gets the "Your computer restarted because of a problem" message. When the desktop loads, It requests to send a report to apple and provides this message:

    It was a brand-new hard drive, so there shouldn't be any issues!!! Any help or ideas ? The person I got the HD from suggested it's another issue such as the power adapter or motherboard, but It started after the swap.

    Back up all data, then remove the Norton/Symantec product by following the instructions on either of these pages:
    Uninstalling your Norton product for Mac
    Removing Symantec programs for Macintosh
    If you have a different version of the product, the procedure may be different.

  • My Mid 2009 Macbook pro (Just purchased) will not turn on after hard drive change and ram upgrade

    So i purchased a mid 2009 Macbook Pro from a guy with 4 gb of ram and 250gb hard drive. It worked perfectly fine when i booted it with his hard drive and ram installed.
    I spilled beer in my old computer (late 2009 15" 500gb hard drive and 8gb ram) but took the hard drive to get tested and it worked fine. i later found out it was from a 2010.
    Like an idiot i assumed the pro i just purchased would be able to handle the same upgrades that were in my old computer so i threw in the 500gb hard drive (2010) and the 8gb of ram.
    The thing booted up fine, just a bit slow which i chalked up to my hard drive sitting unplugged for a long time.
    After about 3 minutes it crashed on me. Confused i replaced the 4gb of original ram back into it. (the 8gb ram was pny i bought from ebay so i thought it could be that) It decided not to turn on or show any lights on the front except for the battery meter.
    After this i replaced the original hard drive and still NO LUCK!! im really mad because i am in desperate need of the information on my original 500gb hard drive and im afraid i have destroyed 2 computers and about $1K worth of cash out the window.
    HELP please enlighten me on what i have done and if the situation can be fixed.

    UPDATE: Problem solved with the old hard drive in it, Now the less pressing issue:
    Will the computer run my 500gb hard drive with all my information on it? I need to forward a resume and it is on that hard drive.

  • How to restore library after hard drive reformat?

    Hello, I am going to reformat my Mac Pro's boot drive, and I want to make sure my iTunes library remains intact (I'm using iTunes 12).
    I keep my iTunes music files on a 2nd internal hard drive, in a folder that I titled "iTunes Folder". I also plan to reformat this internal hard drive.
    I have backups of both drives on an external hard drive. I'm assuming that in order to restore my iTunes library, playlists, etc., to their current state, I simply need to a) restore the user/Music/iTunes folder to its current state and b) restore the "iTunes Folder" to my 2nd internal drive. Is that correct? Or is there a different way that it should be done?
    Thanks.

    Our hard drive crashed completely and we installed a completely new hard drive. My sister and I both shared the same library for our Videos. She plugged her's into the computer and all the music was erased almost immediately. How can I plug my ipod in with out having the music and other files erased??? Is there any way I can transfer music from my ipod onto her's??

  • Reinstall After Hard Drive Errors

    The system restore from the hard drive is a great idea except when your hard drive is dropping bad sectors left and right.  One of my clients bought a 3000 Desktop with Windows Vista Business 13 months ago.  I got the call that the system wouldn't boot.  Corrupted system registry.  Auto-Repair didn't work.  Backed up the data and went the F11 route, but always getting an error at the tail end that a file didn't install correctly.
    The client never used the DVD/CDRW and, of course, it didn't work.  Pressing open/close let you hear the motor with no motion.  The paperclip released the tray slightly, but there was severe tension.  I removed it from the chassis and as soon as I turned it on its side you could hear the rattling inside.
    I brought it back to my office, installed another ATAPI DVD drive and a brand new Seagate 250GB Sata drive and tried to install Windows XP (I was going to go for XP Downgrade Rights at my clients request).  XP could not complete the graphic install portion with file copy errors.  I tried two other DVD drives, one other hard drive and three different sets of OEM Windows XP media:  Windows XP Pro, Windows XP Pro w/SP1 and Windows XP Pro w/SP2.  Same result.  I tried long formats with same results.
    For the most part I myself use Intel Boxed motherboards DQ965JO's now, but I've gone back through systems with Intel boards as far back as 845 chipsets and never had these problems loading the basic OS.

    dwb and shootist007,
    I re installed snow leopard and did the following:
    signed in to apps/purchases
    then my lion OS which i had purchased (button next to it read download) and hit the download button
    currently downloading
    will see what happens
    Shootist007,
    You have to have snow leopard to be able to get the app icon and access the app store.  If you internet access is slow you should look to getting the thumb drive.
    hope this helps
    thank you both

  • Help after hard drive change - some songs not available

    I had an external hard drive that started to act wonky and wouldn't mount.  I was able to get to mount one last time and transfer the contents over to a new hard drive.  Now every time I start iTunes there is a message about checking for gapless playback.  I believe there are 82 tracks.  It goes by rather fast so it is hard to read each and every title.  The ones I have read upon checking I find that the songs have no content.  They just don't exist.  When you go to control I instead of the track showing the length it shows Not Available.  Is there anyway to search my hard drive to find out which tracks are having a problem?

    Go to the Dougscripts web site and get the script called ListMIAs

  • Can't reinstall after hard drive replacement

    I recently had the drive fail which had this installed on it.  When I try to install it to the new hard drive all it installs is the help files and documentation.  Anybody else have this problem?  Or can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Hello Scooter,
    To get a better understanding of what the problem is could you answer the following questions;
    - Is this the first time you install the software? Did you have a previous version?
    - Do you have any other National Instruments software on your computer?
    - What operating system are you using?
    - Do you have an Administrator account on your computer?
    - Do you get any specific errors?

  • Reinstall after hard drive failure

    Trying to install CS5 extended student edition, but cant remember the process to get the correct serial number.

    Welcome to the forum.
    First, a few questions:
    1. Did you Deactivate Ps, prior to the crash - assume that you did not.
         a.     How many installations did you have for that program?
         b.     How many Activations did you have for that program?
    2. Do you have either the physical media, or the download installer file?
    3. Do you have your S/N, probably sent via e-mail, from Adobe?
    If you have the physical media, and you have not reached the number of installations, or Activations, then you should just insert that, and if you have AutoRun ON for your multi-drive, just follow the prompts. If AutoRun is OFF, just navigate the disc to the executable file, and follow the prompts.
    If you have the downloaded installer file (same installation and Activation caveats apply), Extract that, with the full folder structure, if it's a ZIP, or 7Z file, then in the Extracted files, click on the executable.
    If you have exceeded either the number of installations, or Activations, you will need to contact Adobe Customer Support, as only they can reset either installations, or Activations. Even if you have not exceeded those limits, but did not Deactivate on the crashed HDD, I would contact Adobe C/S anyway, to get them to reset the Activations, in case this ever happens again.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
