How to delete recovery in volume D and transfer it to bootable USB flash drive.

I am trying to create a recovery for windows 7 pro on a USB flash drive. i tried looking for HP USB recovery utility on HP website but they say that i will require a USB 2.0 port whereas ELitebook only has 3.0 ports! Also cant find the utility anywhere for elitebook. The builtin Windows recovery manager only allows recovery creation on a Disc but ELitebook doesnt have a CD drive either and I prefer recovery creation on a flash. Also my laptop packaging states that my purchase comes with windows 8 pro license and media. however i didnt receive any DVD media for that matter. Could Windows 8 setup files be residing within the recovery volume D ?\ any help in this matter will be appreciated.. regards, Sami Bangash

USB 3.0 ports are USB 2.x (and 1.x) backward compatible. Each USB version has different power specs, so while a USB 2.0 device will work fine in a USB 3.0 port, the opposite is not true. The Windows "media" is typically a compressed file stored in a Recovery partition on the hard drive. HP Backup Manager can be used to create a DVD (or set of CDs, whichever it uses) from the compressed file -- and that media can then be used to restore the PC.

Satellite L675-11H - Can't access and/or read files on USB flash drive

Hi all,
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L675-11H and was trying to transfer files from a USB flash drive on my Toshiba hard disk. The files have been previously transferred from my old laptop (HP - XP) to my USB flash drive.
My new laptop can't access the USB flash drive at none of the USB ports I connect the flash drive to. What might be the problem here? Thank you for your help or any helpful advice!

Hi Rush,
Can you post more detailes about this behavior? What happens if you connect the HDD to your notebook, do you see that Windows installs drivers for new USB device or do you get an error message? If you have connected the USB drive check the disk management of Windows if its recognized there (Control panel > system and security > Administrative tools).
Have you already tested other USB devices such as USB mouse? If they dont work too the problem could be related to USB ports. In this case you should remove all USB ports from device manager and restart your notebook. Also update the chipset driver could help.

Hi, I have a late 2008 iMac with a new hard drive. How do I install Mountain Lion from my bootable USB flash drive.

How do I install Mountain Lion to a new hard drive without having the recovery partition on it.
I have the USB flash drive with software on it but when I switch my Mac on all I have is a white screen & a flashing question mark.
ATB,
Steve.

Did you use LionDiskMaker or DiskMaker X?
Boot the machine with the option key down until you see your bootable USB stick. Select the latter, and reboot.
When the installer boots up, you will first need to choose Utilities and Disk Utility. Select the target HD device name and then the partition tab. Select 1 partition, name it Macintosh HD. Format is Mac OS Extended, and option is GUID. Apply. Exit Disk Utility and return to the installer, which will now show your newly partitioned HD as available for install.
When OS X is installed and all updates applied, press shift+command+U and run disk utility again. Verify/repair permissions and verify the boot disk.

Keynote and exporting to/from a USB flash drive

I just made an interesting realization -
I have a keynote presentation that I needed to export as a Quicktime movie. The keynote presentation was saved on my USB flash drive, so I plugged in the drive, opened the file, and attempted to export the quicktime file to the hard drive of my macbook pro - it told me "the disk is full or there is a problem with the file"
So, I copied the presentation file onto the Macbook Pro, ejected the USB drive, and tried again - this time it all worked fine.
Does keynote HAVE to write temporary files to the same root directory as the presentation file or something? The hard drive on the Macbook Pro is not even close to full - but the USB drive wouldn't have had room for the movie. What's going on here? Anyone else have this problem?

You may think that's what you saw, but you're almost certainly mistaken. An analagous impossibility: even if your audio speakers had a USB port, and you had an mp3 file on a USB stick, no music would play if you simply plugged the stick into the speaker.
A Keynote presentation in native Keynote format is only presentable by a Mac. If the KN has been converted to a QuickTime film and burned to a CD, it would be playable by pretty much any computer, and also by a CD player (I may be mistaken on this; someone will correct me if I'm wrong). In any case, though, there's got to be something more - a lot more - between the KN file and the projector besides a USB plug before a presentation is presented.

[Help] How to wireless transfer data to an USB flash drive from an iPad mini 2

Hi.
I want to use my iPad for my exams, but I'm not allowed to use the internet to send my files under the exams, so I need an alternative way to do it. I want to copy pages, numbers and keynote files to a wireless USB flash drive when I'm done. Do you know a product that can do it, that is also available in the Amazon UK?
Thanks.

Hi Loner,
Thanks for the reply.
I have located the program and will give it a try.

How to install (using usb flash drive) os x snow leopard on 10.5?

i have a version 10.5 (leopard), but i would like to install snow leopard (10.6). i tried using bootable usb flash drive using the "utility drive". However, it did not quite work as i expected. Does anyone know how to use bootable usb flash drive to install snow leopard on leopard?

How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current Leopard installer DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Insert the USB flash drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
Release the key when the boot manager screen appears.
Select the icon of the USB flash drive and click on the arrow button below the icon.
When the installer finishes loading follow the onscreen instructions.

How to create bootable USB thumb drive from Lion on Mac Mini 2011?

Hello folks
Yesterday my new Mac Mini (Core i7 2,7 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD6630M 256 MB) arrived. It replaces my old Mac Mini (Core Duo 1,83 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, Intel GMA950 64 MB). One day I'll replace the 500 GB 5400 RPM HDD in this Mini by an Intel SSD drive (just like I did with my previous Mini). I'll do a fully clean install then (formatting the SSD drive in Disk Utility and then installing Lion on it from a bootable USB thumb drive). The only problem is I can't seem to download Lion for free from the Mac AppStore (MAS) although I have bought a new Mac Mini which came with Lion pre-installed. I know how to create a bootable USB thumb drive with Lion on it when you download it from the MAS. But that's the problem... I can't seem to download Lion from the MAS for free. When I open the MAS while holding down the Option key I can download Lion but it will charge me for it. Is there any way I can download Lion from the MAS without paying for it? Since it already came with my new Mac Mini 2011 this should be possible I guess?
And will I still be able to download the iLife '11 apps (iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband) for FREE that came with my new Mac Mini when I do a fully clean install as described above? Thanks in advance.
Greetings
Jocau

After doing some research, it seems that there are only 2 WAYS to do a complete reinstall of Lion on the Mac Mini 2011 without paying for the Lion download in the Mac AppStore (i.e. recreating every partition, also the Recovery HD partition, from scratch e.g. when installing Lion on a clean HDD/SSD).
1) COMPLETELY clone the Mac Mini 2011 HDD including all of its partitions to an external drive and restore it when you want to do a complete reinstall.
2) Use the LION INTERNET RECOVERY feature built-in into new Macs that ship with Lion (this feature is present in new Macs starting from the Mac Mini 2011 and Macbook Air 2011).
OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
Lion Internet Recovery
If you happen to encounter a situation in which you cannot start from the Recovery HD, such as your hard drive stopped responding or you installed a new hard drive without Mac OS X installed, new Mac models introduced after public availability of OS X Lion automatically use the Lion Internet Recovery feature if the Recovery HD (Command-R method above) doesn't work. Lion Internet Recovery lets you start your Mac directly from Apple's Servers. The system runs a quick test of your memory and hard drive to ensure there are no hardware issues.
Lion Internet Recovery presents a limited interface at first, with only the ability to select your preferred Wi-Fi network and, if needed, enter the WPA passphrase. Next, Lion Internet Recovery will download and start from a Recovery HD image. From there, you are offered all the same utilities and functions described above.
As with the Recovery HD, reinstallation of OS X Lion from Lion Internet Recovery requires an Internet connection. See "Supported network configurations and protocols" below.
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start from Lion.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.
Source: Lion Recovery
It's a bit sad that these seem to be the only 2 options. Lion Internet Recovery is the preferred one here since my monthly internet traffic limit isn't a problem (but my download speed is). This problem could have been easily solved by Apple by just checking the system specs or serial number when trying to download Lion from the Mac AppStore. By using one of the 2 options in my previous sentence the Mac AppStore could see that I have a new Mac Mini 2011 that ships with Lion which would give me the option to download Lion from the Mac AppStore for free and eventually create a bootable USB thumb drive of it.

Deleting hidden trash files on USB Flash Drives

I enjoy listening to my music in my truck using a USB flash drive. However, when I modify the content MAX OSx leaves a hidden trash file containing files of the songs I deleted with the song name proceeded with a period. example: .filename.mp3
These are not hidden to my SYNC software in my Ford so it reads them as a bad file. I have to skip passed all them to the valid songs, and they always come up first in every folder. I cannot find a way to delete these hidden files so I have been reformatting the USB Flash Drive an reloading all the songs again, which take about an hour on the 64GB flash.

How can you properly delete files off the USB?
When it's connected to the Mac, control-click the Trash icon in the Dock and empty it.

How Can I Back Up My iTunes Library To A USB Flash Drive?

I have around 5GB of files in my iTunes Library and I don't want to have to use multiple blank cds (dvds) to get my files onto my new iMac. On top of that I can't my cd-writer doesn't work. So I bought an 8GB USB Flash Drive and I just want to know how I can get my iTunes Library to back up to my USB Flash Drive.

Is all your music, as well as your iTunes folder, in My Music? If so, copy your My Music folder to the drive. That will back up all the songs, and the iTunes library files, which happen to be located in iTunes/iTunesMusic.
In case you are asking how to copy: Close iTunes. Insert the USB drive into the machine and open it like a folder. Then you can use drag and drop to put stuff in it.
