    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

  • My iMovie 9 will not install after formatting hard drive and installing Mavericks what are my options?

    I have not used my iMovie ever since I formatted my Hard Drive and installed Mavericks. I went to put the disk in from when ilife was originally shipped with the computer and it just spits the disk right back out of the superdrive. Is there anything I can do to not have it just spit a disk out without asking for user input. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to buy the new version.

    Here are the original specs of your computer. The specs state that the original hard drive was 320GB. You have since replaced the factory drive with a 1TB (1000GB) hard drive. The HP recovery routine seems to have issues with hard drives that deviate from the original size. The partition issues you are experiencing may be a result of this. As for the rest of your issues, it sounds like the SP3 install went bad.
    If I were you, I would consider reinstalling the OS using your recovery discs by doing a complete "destructive" reinstall/recovery. Afterward, I would post the size of both the c: and d: partitions... and go from there.

  • 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 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:

  • License Problem after formating Hard Drive

    Hello,
    I'm french, so my english isn't very good, I'm sorry for this.
    I have got a problem with my Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 license.
    My Grandfather bought this software 5month ago and installed it in his computer.
    He lend me the CD and I installed it in my computer too without any problems.
    But Last month I had to format my Hard Drive, so I had to make a new OS installation too.
    I tried to install adobe photoshop elements 8 but my License seems to be invalid.
    I heard that a license can be used in only two computers. But the software is still on two computers (I just format my Hd), and the software doesn't seem to notice it.
    How can I recover my license?

    Thank you for your quick answer!
    I entered my serial number at the installation (is that the right word for "set up"?) and there wasn't any problem.
    But after I connect to the internet, this window appear
    So I type my serial number (for the second time) and a red cross appear
    And I can't go further.
    The software may think that my key has already been registered in two computer. He think that my pc with a new OS is a different PC. But it's the same. (Sorry I'm not very clear^^).
    My Key is a legal one.
    I would like to remove the older key of the last os from the adobe database and used this key on my new OS.
    I think, when we install an adobe software on a computer, if we change computer, we can delete it from the first one and use it on the new pc, it's not irreversible Am I right?

  • 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.

  • Why after formatting hard drive still get error

    this is what i recieve after i have formatted the hard drive. how can i fix

    The first attempt (as the picture clearly show) was a try to recover data from the disk. Right?
    This try failed cause the disk's structure is corrupted as also been clearly showed on the picture.
    Then you tried Disk Utility to fix the disk. This failed too, because the disk structure is corrupted. The Disk Utility screenshoot shows that.
    If the the Disk Utility's "repair disk" did not fix the problem there is only one last chance.
    Use Disk Utility to delete the partitioning scheme, define a new HFS+ scheme and repartition the drive.
    If then are still error's in the Disk Utility, I'm afraid your drive is dead and must be replaced.

  • Why can't my Macbook Air startup after formatting hard drive?

    Hello fellow apple users,
    I recently decided to restore my macbook air to factory settings.  I held command + R at startup and from there went to disk utilities and formatted the hard drive. I have done this several times in the past. I  restarted my computer before anything else over curiosity (which was a stupid mistake). My computer restarted and nothing happened. Just a blank black screen. The sound from when it turns on was there but nothing else.  I tried literally all of the start up commands but none of those worked.  I tried internet recovery but it could not connect to the internet and it gave me an error saying 2013f.  Does anyone know how i can fix this? I am on a wifi connection with a proxy. Does that have anything to do with it unable to connect?

    Because by formatting the hard drive, you erased the operating system... You need to re-install  OS X.
    You're probably going to have to connect to a different network. The proxy server is probably interfering with your ability to download and re-install.

  • How do I restore my data after my hard drive was replaced?

    The hard drive in my iMac failed after I upgraded to Mountain Lion last week. The drive has been replaced and I'd like to restore files from my Time Capsule, if this is possible. However, when I enter Time Machine, there is a long wait while a dialogue box says "Connecting to backup volume" and then, when it becomes available, there are no previous dates before today listed and I can't move backwards, as I've done previously. I know that backups exist because I've used Time Machine before to restore files I've worked on to previous versions - and the capsule is still telling me that it's very nearly full of data. Is there a way to restore to a new hard drive, or is that asking too much of Time Machine? Please forgive my ignorance. I'm worried that I've lost a LOT of irreplaceable files.

    Hi again. Okay, so I'm a little embarrassed because I just needed to wait and have faith. I'll leave this here for anyone who is panicking like I was today.
    Essentially, I had to allow Time Machine to install a new back-up on the Time Capsule. I resisted this for a while and thought I'd made a mistake in allowing it when it had to discard an old back-up to fit the new one onto the machine. At this point, I was worried that I was losing a valuable older back-up in place of one of an empty-ish drive. But, once this back-up had completed, I was finally able to travel backwards and see the contents of my previous hard drive. I've currently restored my desktop and some personal files and tomorrow I'm going to go for the big targets, like my iTunes library.
    Thanks, Apple.
