How to repair/reinstall bootcamp?

I made an big mistake.
I tried to install Windows 10 to a new partition and while the install process from Windows, I deleted all paritions without the two big ones (Yosemite and that I created for Windows 10). Now, when I try to start my MacBook, there is only an warning triangle with exclamation mark flashing. I can boot into recovery (Option Key and R) or into any live disc (Ubuntu etc). But I can't boot into Yosemite or Windows. When I'm in the recovery, there is the "disk0s1" deactivated and when I press on "activate", nothing happens. Windows 10 is activated at this point.
Sorry for my bad english..
If you need any more details or screenshots, please ask, I have no Idea what I can do now. I need the Music/Pictures in my iTunes in Yosemite...
Thank you so much for help

Hello,
i made a backup of the corrupted windows partition and reinstalled windows. it seemed that the partition tables were really messed up :-( when i look into the image file of the windows partition, i only see files from macos. but i definetely choosed the right partition to backup (the one with the ntfs file system).
Is it possible that because of the repair process of the apple recovery system the partition have been mixed up somehow?
Well, because my data is already lost, which is bad, but not the worst because it was not my productive system, i will mark this question as solved. I was able to reinstall both OSX and Windows so there is no more need for help.
Thanks nevertheless,
Andi

How do I reinstall images to a ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 9 program fro a backup CD??? computer was infected and sub sequently

I'm going to assume that you have reinstalled PSE9 but now want to get your catalog back. If you created your backup using the inbuilt PSE File> Backup Catalog feature, then in the newly installed version you would run File> Restore Catalog.
If you used a third party backup tool, or just copied the image files elsewhere then a lot will depend on whether or not you also backed up, or can still access, the catalog files. Give some more detail about this 'backup CD'.

How can I repair / reinstall my Productivity Center?

I posted this help request in a different thread on 11/14/09 and have not received any comment or reply. It seems that being a Lenovo product (at least, as far as I know) there should be many people in these forums, including people from Lenovo, who were familiar with the issue and could even point to a possible solution. I must admit I'm a bit puzzled, but still hopeful someone could kindly provide a hint.
Using T61p, WIndows Vista Home Premium, NIS 2010, Mozilla Firefox 3.5.5.
I never had any problems using this Lenovo software utility until very recently. I noticed that, after pressing the blue ThinkVantage button and accessing the utility's main menu, some of the tags will not work, starting by the very first one, "Welcome".
When I click on it, it opens a box that says: "This application requires Macromedia Flash Player Version 7 or newer" , and the only option it offers is a "OK" button.
Now, I understand Macromedia Flash Player is the same as Adobe Flash Player. If this is the case, then the Flash Player I have installed is version 10, and it is installed in my system for several months.
What am I missing? And what can I do to have this utility repaired / reinstalled / working again? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards.

If NO, Remove the software 'Productivity Center' and reinstall again !!!
(No pressing the blue ThinkVantage button, direct execution the software)
Thank you for your reply. I did that already. No luck. The problem seems to be just with one of the tags. When you open this utility by either pressing the ThinkVantage button or opening it directly, the black box presents you a number of options (I call them tags). One of this tags is "Welcome". When I click on this tag, a small window pops up with the following message:
"This application requires Macromedia Flash Player Version 7 or newer" .
And the only option it offers is to click an "OK" button. Nothing else. All other tags work perfectly.
Now, I have Flash Player 10 installed in my system and I'm at a loss to figure a way out of this problem. Is this a virus? Malware? I have NIS 10 installed and I run the Quick Scan daily, often a few times a day, and a weekly run of the full scan. Nothing pops up.
DID ANYONE EVER HAVE A PROBLEM SIMILAR TO THIS? DOES LENOVO HAVE A CLUE OF WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY LENOVO PRODUCTIVITY CENTER?
I appologize if I sound rude. I'm just screaming for help!

The guide to bootcamp assistant states that bootcamp can only be installed on a drive with a single partition. New Macs with Lion preinstalled have two partitions - the second is a recovery partition. How do I install Bootcamp?

Late in August 2011 I took delivery of a new 27" iMac with Lion preinstalled. I need to run Windows as well. Following Apple's written suggestion, I printed off the then current 12 pages of the document "Bootcamp Installation & Setup Guide" which clearly stated that the hard drive you were going to install on had to have on it, before install, a maximum of one partition. Using finder and disk utility I determined that there was only one partition. Unbeknownst to me, there was (is) an additional hidden (from those two pieces of software) partition on the disk. As of machines delivered new with Lion preinstalled, Apple has begun to include a "recovery partition". In that partition there is a copy of the software necessary to reinstall Lion via a download from the Apple App Store. Not knowing the partition was there, I cranked up "Bootcamp Assistant" which nicely offered to repartition my hard drive creating a "Bootcamp Partition" in addition to the existing. I told it how big to make each and hit the do it button, subsequently destroying my operating system. Oh, it very nicely told me, after the damage was done, how many partitions were REALLY on the disk and that I could not install Bootcamp cause there were too many partitions.
Luckily the the Recovery Partition, which at that point I knew existed, was not harmed and after doing some research on another compter, I used it to once again download Lion from the App Store and reinstall. So, I have recovered but am still stuck with the problem: how do I install Bootcamp in this new environment?

First you need to seriously back up your Mac.
A clone is an exact duplicate of your existing Mac HDD. Merely copying and pasting a drive will not make a bootable backup. In case of problems you can boot from an Ext HDD clone and use the utilities to repair, reformat, or clone the Ext HDD back to the internal Mac HDD. While Time machine back ups are easy you can not boot from it. The best thing to have for any kind of problem is a bootable clone backup on an external drive. Some even have two external backup drives in case one fails. There are two good apps for cloning named SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner.
In dealing with the recovery partition a simple approach is to clone the Mac partition to an external disk then re-partition the Mac to a single partition (GUID partition table) . Then clone the external disk clone back to the Mac. You will now have only one Partition and Boot Camp assistant sould not object.
Some have recommended getting rid of the recovery partition while others have advised not to do this. If you have the Lion USB Thumb Drive you do not need a recovery partition so can discard it without concern. There is another way to get rid of the recovery partition if you decide to do it but first be sure to have a backup of your Mac ( I know I sound like a nagging mom but many dead computers have been saved by this simple precaution).
Use Disk Utility.
1) Make the Recovery visible in Disk Utility by using a program like Secrets:http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27025/secrets or MacPilot:http://www.koingosw.com/products/macpilot.php (15 day free trial).
2) Highlite the Recovery partition and Control click it and select Mount the partition.
3) With the Recovery partition highlited, erase the partition, you'll get an error message, ignore it.
4) Now highlite the top identity of the hard drive and select the partition tab.
5) Highlite the Recovery partition and press the minus sign.
6) Click and hold on the bottom edge of the partition above and drag it to the bottom, if it doesn't go there automatically, the press apply.

Reinstall BootCamp on Windows 7

Hello,
Yesterday, a suden electricity power cut took place in my area, while I was on my Windows 7 partition... After some minutes, the electricity was on again, so I logged on my Windows 7 partition, everything was ok, but the network...
I see the wireless tray icon, not connected anywhere, with a red X on it.
I think that there is a problem with the drivers.
Because bootcamp installs all of the drivers correctly, I think that if I could reinstall bootcamp on my Windows 7 partition, would install the drivers and fix the problem, but I don't know how to reinstall bootcamp, neither how to uninstall and install it again...
Can you please help?
Thanks!

Firstly, invest in a UPS to allow you to protect your modem, router, computer and equipment.
Windows 7 has Network control panel and while it can attempt to do diagnostic troubleshooting of your connection and show if it has connection to router and/or internet, usually it doesn't resolve an issue.
You can do to Device Manager. Rollback or uninstall a driver (but do not disable a device!)
You can always use Programs control panel and it may have "Repair" along with uninstall a program, or uninstall.
I would be worried if a reboot doesn't work that it is hardware, but if that was true then Mac side would not get an internet connection also.
I'd pick up a manual, that is me, there are several good books and references with tips and how to use and get more out of Windows OS.
And there is built in help and any "?" you find in dialogue boxes (Mac has Help menu too but rarely seems to get use)

HT1926 How Do I Reinstall itunes?

I opened my itunes account and was asked to install the latest update to itunes. Half way though installation I received an error message that the installation was not successful. Now when I attempt to open itunes, I get an error message saying that itunes was installed incorrectly and to reinstall itunes. How can I reinstall it if I can't open it up?

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Application files are corrupted. How do I reinstall application files?

I own the macbook Pro. My application files are corrupted. How do I reinstall them?

"Any more ideas?"
The point of my reply was for you to apply the 10.3.9 Combo Update over your installation. Repairing Permissions is always a good idea before and after any update or upgrade. Did you try this and still having Java problems/errors?
This will not harm anything to apply the Combo update over your OS.
You did not post which version of 10.3 you are using but you may wish to check to see if this Apple Knowledge Base article applies to your situation:

How do I reinstall Mail in Mac OS-10.8

My MAIL application crashed every time I sent an email. NOW, it simply will not boot up when clicked. HOW DO I REINSTALL MAIL (I tried deleting it, but the system won't allow me to delete Mail ... I was hoping that I could reinstall Mountain Lion and begin anew). Thanks, Eric

You would have to reinstall Mountain Lion, which you can do from your recovery partition (hold command R down as you restart).
There is an app called Pacifist that I used in the past, it can in theory remove just the Mail.app installer from the entire ML Installer; but you'd still have to download the ML installer.
Pacifist is at : CharlesSoft — software you always wished someone would write
Another option would be to restore Mail from a backup, from Time Machine, for example.
Have you tried anything else, like repairing your hard drive, or repairing permissions, or deleting the .plist file?

Re: How to repair Windows components?

How to repair individual Windows components without format & reinstalling the whole OS?
Here OS is Vista

Hi!
I think you should give us a little bit more details like your notebook model.
And you should say what components you mean exactly.
This is not very clear what you posted.
Look in the control panel and Add/Remove programs. There you change Windows components and remove the software.
Bye

Cs3 install/repair/reinstall, install component failed-----SOLUTION!!!

Ok, after searching the internet for solutions on how to install/reinstall/repair CS3, I found I was not satisfied with anyone's answers.
Well, I've finally got it!
Do what adobe tells you---run that script (CS3clean).
However, after running the script, you will notice that the installation will still fail. So to get around that, go into your folders and delete any folder that says Adobe. Check your hidden folders too!
               C:\Users\<your username>\AppData
                         check in local, roaming, and locallow
There are adobe folders in I think all those locations. Go to Add/Remove Programs, too and delete anything adobe (I took no chances because installing takes forever, and it's frustrating to see the "component failed to install" message).
Also as a precaution, I turned off my firewall.
That did it for me!!! Good luck, and I hope this helps.

Front Row Uninstalled itself - How do you reinstall it?

Like some of the other posters here, I had FR working on my MBP. I probably last used it at the end of August. It is now no longer on my computer and I did not uninstall it.
I have checked that the problem is not with the remote, but no, the remote works fine, the application is no longer on the machine. I have checked the System folder mentioned in other posts.
Front Row is not available on the Apple site as a download anymore so can somebody tell me how I can reinstall it please. I found a link to FR 1.0 on the web and tried that, then a software update. The update downloaded 1.3 and I installed it but this does not work either, although I do now have FR in the system folder again. It is not started when the machine starts and I have tried repairing permissions etc.
Your help is appreciated.

I was pretty convinced mine was gone, too. But as I learned in the other thread, Front Row is apparently like no other application. (I'm guessing because it actually controls other applications it's implemented differently.)
I think it was changed somewhere in OS 10.4 upgrades. I'd have sworn it was a plain old app once upon a time. But then, my memory's not what it used to be.
I was just glad to see it again!

Does anybody know how I can reinstall this as I cannot see anything obvious?

How do I reinstall if the original purchase was by the Mac dealer I bought from

How do I reinstall my software to fix problems? I tried to purchase on App store but it won't let me because it is already on my computer. Anyone have any pointers? The guy I bought my Mac from who is supposed to be a good dealer around here has been not helpful AT ALL!
thanks

It was pre-installed on your computer. When you first started up the computer you went through the Setup Assistant in which you set up your user account/name and password. I assume since you are here that you know your Apple ID and password.
If you need to do disk repairs and such:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
When the Recovery Main Menu appears you will see what options are available such as running Disk Utility.
To Reinstall:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Repair HDD and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Do an Erase and Install:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
