Hi mvr
What is your exact model name, product number?
Try downloading, saving & then installation from this page: http://www8.hp.com/in/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html#.VI62_0Trb4c
Did you clean install Windows 8.1 or from Recovery media? Which was the operating system pre-installed in your laptop?

padman215, welcome to the forum,
you need to boot from the Rescue and Recovery cd and select to recover the system and then to recover to factory state. It will then eventually ask for the other discs.
Please be sure that you read the messages carefully; if it asks for a supplementary disc, (which you don't seem to have), you need to click on "no" should it ask for one - this throws alot of people.
Happy installing

Can't boot OS X 10.6 dvd after changing hard drive

Hi everyone!,
I upgrade my hd on my 13" Macbook Pro 2.26 today. Now when i try to Install the DVD that came with the box called "Mac OS X Install DVD Mac os VERSION 10.6 dISC VERSION 1.0. My question is: Do i have to buy the Snow Leopard OS in order to install the OS in a new hard drive or is it something wrong on my computer? Thanks in advance!

It would be helpful to tell us what happened when you tried to install OS X. At this point I can only make broad suggestions. First, boot from the installer DVD as follows:
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Prepare your new drive as follows:
1. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. 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 (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
6. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.

Did you first go to the Control Panel and make sure that the HP Support Assistant software was not listed (uninstalled)?

How do i get itunes back after new hard drive installed?

I have had a hard drive fail and a new one has been installed. Not I cannot open itunes. I get a message saying " itunes cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes"???
Anyone know how to fix?

Did you reinstalled iTunes ? It looks like you had a newer version of iTunes with the corresponding database, and now your iTunes seem to be an older version. If you are a little patient, you might easily fix this with iTunes 10.5 which should come out very very soon since iOS 5 has been annonced for tomorrow.

How to restore music on computer after new hard drive installed?

Thanks!

How to reinstall os x/data after replacing hard drive

I'm about to replace my hard drive after the original crashed. I have a macbook pro 17" and I have the original backup cd's, also a time machine backup on external hd.I'm installing a 1tb hdd from the 750gb original.
What is the sequence which I need to follow to restore my OS and data? The original OS is Snow Laopard, the one I ugraded to is Moutain Lion.
Apart from the sequence will the Ext hd have the operating system backed up on it or do I need to load the original OS disc and then the Apps disc or only the Ext hd backup?
As I'm replacing my hard drive do I need to format the new drive in disc utilities still, if so how?
Will I be asked for any passwords?
Any help appreciated.
Martyn.

Install the new HDD in your MBP.
Start the MBP with the Snow Leopard install disk holding down the C key.
Proceed with the installation until you see a menu bar on top of the display.
From the menu bar click on UTILITIES.
From the drop down menu select Disk Utility.
Select Disk Utility>Erase and format the HDD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Proceed to install Snow Leopard. It will probably be 10.6.3.
Open SOFTWARE UPDATE and install 10.6.8.
Then you may install Mt. Lion or Mavericks.
Run Time Machine and install your user data. Refer to this web site for assistance if need be:

Speaker problem after changing hard drive

Hi,
Yesterday I changed my powerbook's hard drive to a nice big 250Gb one and proceded to install Leopard on it. However, ever since I've changed the hard drive my speakers have been making a horrible loud noise. When I plug headphones in to the jack the noise from the speakers stops and I get perfect sound through my headphones. The noise starts as soon as I turn the powerbook on but stops for a short period during the boot sequence.
Any ideas ?
PS: I'm not 100% sure I put the screws back in the right place but I had no screws left after putting the powerbook back together.

Bienvenue!
First, try resetting your PMU: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431
If that doesn't do it, recommend you reopen the powerbook to ensure that all cables are securely attached.

Folders locked in Time Machine after changing hard drive

2008 iMac running Lion 10.7.5
I have had a larger hard drive installed on my iMac and all the data migrated to the new drive.
Time Machine has done a complete new backup but I can't access any of the older backups on Time Machine from the old hard drive.
The error I get trying to open any folder in TM prior to today is (Movies is an example)
The folder “Movies” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.
My local Apple expert states that - "The backups get protected using the Hardware UUID of the hard drive. In your case, your old backups are protected using the UUID from the old hard drive. OS X is supposed to 'adopt' the old backup once it confirms that the data is the same as what is on the new drive. However, it doesn't always work."
I have since found a workaround on techsurvivors - by changing the permissions in Finder/Get Info on the Time Machine Drive ie
Open Time Machine drive in Finder
Do get info on any locked folder for specific backup date.
Unlock it but do not close the Get Info window.
Click on the black plus sign in the lower left corner of the Get Info window.
Click on the administrators or your account if it is bolded, then the Select blue button.
Click on the little arrows to select "Read and Write" for the account.
After doing this on one folder - Movies - for one backup ie June 11 2013 I was able to restore some movie files using Time Machine as normal.
I don't really want to have to repeat this for all the locked folders for every backup.
Is there an easier way to change the protection of the backups on the Time Machine drive? Or am I stuck with this workaround.
Thanks

How to Install and boot-up New Blank Hard Drive

I am looking to install a new hard drive on my 2007 MBP C2D. I currently have a stock 200GB 5400rpm Toshiba hard drive installed and I am looking to upgrade. I was looking at a Seagate momentus 320GB 7200rpm SATA or a Western Digital 500GB 5400rpm SATA. Would I have any problems with either of these drives, and would I see significant improvement in performance if I went with the 7200rpm drive?
I was also looking to start fresh with the new drive, only copying and pasting some files from my old drive to the new one. I would do this by first copying the files I want from my old drive to an external, and then copy them to my new drive once it is installed. My questions are do I need to format the new drive? How do I install Leopard? Would I simply put the DVD into the disk drive and install it from there? I've read about partitioning issues and other installation problems; will I have to deal with these by installing it this way?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

All of my external hard drives are Western digital. I am pretty sure that they can only be formatted in FAT32, is that going to be a problem if I decide to clone my current hard drive?
FAT32 is not Mac OS X bootable. If you must have PC readable hard drive that is Mac bootable, get http://www.mediafour.com/macdrive
That will allow your PC to read your Mac drive.
If you want to setup a small network:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2959?viewlocale=en_US
You can still maintain the Mac booting by formatting your drive HFS+, and the PC will still be able to share files with your Mac.
Regardless you can't clone a Mac OS X bootable drive to a FAT32 formatted drive. And there is no such thing as a hard drive that can't be formatted HFS+. They may come initially formatted FAT32, but Apple's Disk Utility can reformat them.
I don't know what restrictions exist in event you run Boot Camp though. For that you'd have to ask in the Boot Camp forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1244
Would a 7200rpm drive show significant performance advantages over a 5400rpm drive?
If the drives are of equal capacity yes. Larger capacity but slower drives actually are the nearly the same speed as the faster drives of smaller capacity. I.e. a 120 GB 7200 RPM drive is going to be of equivalent speed to a 160 GB 5400 RPM drive.
Also, the one reason why I want to start fresh is because my computer sometimes runs slow, which it never did in the first few months that I had it.
The speed of the machine is not necessarily as dependent on capacity, as how full it is*:
http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html
Thus as long as you don't approach the arbitrary 85% full point, and as long as all the software you are using has been tested with the currently installed operating system, and as long as your spotlight indexes are complete, and you aren't running any non-compatible optimization utilities, you should never have a slowdown. See my other FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/Macosxspeed.html
to understand why a machine may slow down.
A 10 GB free hard drive sounds like it lacks the necessary empty capacity to run smoothly.
Cleaning the space as suggested earlier may be an easier approach than trying to install a new drive.

How to install extra media on a different hard drive?

I just bought Logic Pro via the download.
It installed automatically.
I installed the first group of media that it wanted to install. About 2 gigs worth.
I'd like to install the rest but I need them to live on another drive. The 2nd internal drive would be great.
I can not figure out where in settings I can change the path.
This just does not make sense.
Can someone give me some ideas?
Thanks
(I'm trying to do this on my iMac w/ OS 10.8.2)

Maybe I would be better off asking the question like this…
My iMac is configured with an SSD drive with 250 GB, as the main drive where programs are installes. There are 88.15 gigs free.
My 2nd internal HD is a 2 TB drive with 1.21 Available.
There is a backup drive attached and another drive as well, both of these via firewire.
Where would be the best place to install the media files for Logic Pro? I was thinking that my 2nd internal hard drive would be the best place. Just can't figure out how to get them to go there, or how to move them there.
Thanks.

Syncing Issue after changing Hard Drive

Hi, I believe people have been asking this same question couple times, but I couldn't really see anything that will reallyl answer my question.
So here it is.
I have replaced my laptop's hard drive which I have my iPhone sycned to.
I know I can copy everything under "iTunes" folder in "Program Files" folder, and some copule more under "Users"
Though that way I think it'll keep everything. (which is not really what I wanted)
I would like to keep only the Apps, so that way I can reset the way I organized my songs and videos.
So I was wondering, if I should copy everything under those folders, then delete all the songs.
Or is it possible to just get the Apps files back.
My problem is more concerned with that I don't want the Apps to be recynced to my iPhone as I believe that way I will probably lose my savings and settings in the game after re-syncing as a new one. (or will it?)
I hope I have made my questions cleared enough to answer.
Thanks.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
