Got a new 4s - 1700 songs in my library and can only download 3 to my phone. message says 100 items couldnt be found. OK, what about the rest?

Did you verify that the files actually exist on your computer, not just appear in the iTunes library? Can you play them in iTunes on the computer?

Get "no bootable device- insert boot disc and hit any key" error

Hp G72 Laptop, Windows 7 64 bit,
"no bootable device-insert boot disc and hit any key" (I have no boot disc.)
I was in the process of replacing the hard drive and the computer was starting the final phase after copying all files. When it restarted the first time, I got the message. I was getting this message randomly prior to replacing the hard drive and if I turned it off for 2 or 3 hours and turned back on I would not get the message. The reason for replacing the hard drive was a "Smart Disc " imminent failure error message.

Yes and yes. The final recovery disc had completed and it was moving to the next phase. It said the computer would restart several times during this phase and when it went to the first restart, the error message came up and I could proceed no further. I ctrl/alt/del and restarted, pressed escape to get the start-up menu but was lost at all the options. The information screen looked like the old hard drive info.

i have downloaded OS X Yosemite using recovery from boot but while installing error occuring showing unable to extract essential.pkg so can't install. problem is i have already formatted my drive and dont have any os right now. only the downloaded new os x yosemite in the os x base system. please help

Please try again after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already taken.
Step 1
Reset your computer’s PRAM.
Step 2
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.
Step 3
Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. One backup is not enough to be safe. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with Disk Utility. Preferably both.
Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all data on the startup volume, so you had be better be sure of the backups.
Step 4
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider to have the machine tested.

I'm receiving error Boot Device Not Found and Hard disk not exist when I boot up my laptop

I'm receicing the error Boot Device Not Found when i power on my HP G60-235DX laptop. After following HP's recommended troubleshooting steps, I receive error Hard disk not exist. Hmmmm....that's a little concerning. My guess is I need a new hard drive? I have the 17 recovery disks I made when I setup this laptop, however I'm not sure if they will resolve this issue. Any suggestions?

One of 3 things has happened, listed from most likely to least likely
1. Hard drive has died, replace it with one of the same size or larger, then use the HP recovery discs to re-install windows.
2, The motherboard has serious problems. (Replace the notebook)
3. The hard drive cable that connects it to the motherboard has somehow failed, not very likely. (replace the cable)
Replace the hard drive with a new one and use your recovery discs to get Windows back on it.
Here is your service manual, will show you how to replace the hard drive

Windows 8 Recovery Error - 0xc00000f

Hi All
I currently have a HP Pavilion 14-b030tu Sleekbook. What happened was the initial harddrive that came with the computer died and i was unable to clone the recovery partition for it. What i did was i called HP Support and they send me Recovery CDs for my laptop.
Since i currently do not have a external DVD drive i decided to copy and merge the contents of each disc onto a 32GB USB formatted as FAT32. What happens is everytime i try and boot the USB with Legacy Support Enabled and Secure Boot Disabled and vice versa it always says
Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.
Error code: 0xc000000f
The new HDD is formatted as GPT and currently has a clean Windows 8 install on it. Ive set the USB Partition Type as Active but it still has the same problem.
Anyone got any ideas?

The failure ID that you have provided for the memory test means that the Checksum has failed. This means that it is not finding a part that should be available, but is not showing. After taking a look into the issue of the memory test failing, the most likely cause of the failure is one memory modules has failed. I have included a link to another HP Forum thread here. Please follow the steps that DavidPK has outlined.
For the recovery error message that you are getting, this means that an integral component used during startup can not be found. This error should resolve itself once the memory Checksum error is resolved.
If your notebook has two memory modules, you should be able to boot from the one memory module until the other one is replaced.
Please let me know the outcome of the troubleshooting, thank you.

Hi,
The new hard drive you have got is completely empty!! You have to restore the laptop to the factory settings with the recovery disks. Go to the BIOS and change the boot order to CD/DVD Rom (press esc at startup and then F10) and save the changes (reboot). After that insert the disk no.1 to the optical drive and reboot again (press ctrl+alt+delete). If you have the right recovery disks, it should boot up and start the recovery...

Recovery issues no disc

Hi, wondered if any one can help. My hard drive appears to have stopped working and am having issues trying to recover. I cant find my recovery discs, so when I add a new hard drive I obviously don't have a boot disc for vista. Can anyone help. Many thanks. K

Hi,
Unless you have deleted the Recovery partition on your machine, otherwise your machine should have a Recovery partition. Make sure backing up all of your files before restoring the PC/laptop to factory settings.
To set your PC/laptop to factory settings, restart the PC/laptop. At the HP welcome screen hit repeatly the F11 key to launch the recovery process. Follow the instructions provided on the screen.

A215-S7422 03-EEEE-0000 recovery error

Had to install a new HDD. Purchased recovery disks. Followed the "tosimagex" procedure that seem to work - 100%.
When tosimagex ends - what is the next step I should do? The new HDD has only one partition with the "temp" folder on it.

I had a bad HDD. I installed new one. I started the recovery process booting from Disk 1 of 2 .
I was able to to get to the screen that asks if you want to use "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" - clicked on next and got the following error 03-EEEE-0000. I found out that this error seems to be common and one of the solutions was to
Select System recovery options (instead of Recovery Wizard)
Select "US English"
Select Command Prompt and then
Copy the \zzimages\zzimages directory for all recovery discs to a temp directory on the hard drive (c:\temp).
Change to the Bin directory on the first recovery disc and run
"tosimagex /apply c:\temp\preinst.swm 1 c:\ /ref c:\temp\preinst*.swm" without the quotes.
tosimagex seem to work - processed 10 preinst files
I can boot up from a different Vista recovery CD and look at the C drive - it contains "windows, users, program files, etc"
But I never went thru the normal recovery process - no formatting of the HDD was done.
Since the normal recovery process will not run - I need to format and create partitions and boot area on the new HDD before I run the above tosimagex process.
Any ideas on how to do this? I can't run a cloning process since the original HDD is unreadable.
thank you

HP Recovery Error

Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6 6119tx
Product Number: QB365PA#ACJ
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Error Message: "Restoration Incomplete. Please select one of 3 options: Save Log, Details, Retry"
I have a set of recovery discs. I have tried Factory reset on my system(using CDs) and thus my entire HDD has been formatted. While doing the recovery the progress the progress bar always stopped at 40%(tried 3 times), I even waited patiently for 4 hours to let the process finish but ultimately got the error:" Destination drive not found". I did HDD tests and found everything OK.
The recovery manager worked fine till 25% and then it asks to insert the 2nd disc after which it again works fine till 40%. The process always stucked at 40%! So, I though there could be a read error associated with the 2nd disc. So I tried to copy the disc#2(on desktop) using ImageBurner and it reported a read error after 63% copy; which confirms there's a problem with ths disc#2.
But I don't know how, MagicISO maker was successfull in copying the disc#2 and so I burned the image on a new blank disc. I again started the recovery process and this time it didn't stuck anywhere! So, after successfully copying data from all the 3 recovery discs, I got a prompt to click on continue button for restart(normal, no error). But after restart, the problem starts: cmd appears for 3-4 secs then a sreen appears saying: "Restoration Incomplete. Please select one of 3 options: Save Log, Details, Retry"
After clicking on "Retry", it prompts me to enter recovery media. I enter the disc#1 and the it prompts me to click on continue button to restart. After restart, again the cmd appers, this time something different written on it: "upDrvLetter: C:".
It waits for 3 secs, then shows some error lines like "file not found"(all this is printed in cmd). Then finaaly I again get the "Restoraton Incomplete" error with same 3 options. I again clicked on "Retry", "Continue", again same cmd screen with "upDriveLetter: C:" and blah-blah-blah!
What to do? After all this, I have performed an erased operation using KillDisk(writes the block 00 on every byte of the sector. I spent 3 hours for that). Performed HDD tests and memory test using BIOS. And again tried recovery with my recovery discs, but no succes! Again samething happens!
What shall I do now? I don't want to purchase a new set of recovery discs. Please tell me some alternative to this. What can O do with the damageg or corrupt disc#2?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Assuming that this is an error with the Recovery Discs, there is a straight forward work around if you have ( or can borrow ) a retail Windows 7 installation disc that is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie as your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the exact retail version you would need.
If you don't have access to a retail disc, you can create an installation disc yourself - just download the correct Disc Image from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. Digital River is an outlet for Microsoft, so the Images are clean and I've used this method many times.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the underside of your notebook when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

Hi:
The only graphics driver you should install for your model is the AMD graphics driver which will install both the AMD and Intel GPU's.
If you installed the Intel graphics driver from your PC's support and driver page, that could be preventing the correct AMD driver from installing.

How to create a Lion Boot Disc?

Hi there,
When Lion was release I updated from the App Store.
I recently had to Repair my HDD using Disc Utilities and DU wanted me to boot from an install disc . . . guess what . . . no install disc.
(Well I do have my Leopard install disc)
How does one create an install disc for Lion if it was instaled via the App Store?
Thanks!
Matthew

One can make a "hold the option or c key bootable" Lion boot DVD with a factory Lion Mac (or a Mac with Lion already installed) following these combined directions.
One will need a blank external GUID OS X Extended journaled (aka: "JHFS+") formatted drive and standard 4.7GB DVD(s)
Step 1:
It's very easy to use the Mac App Store's smarts to our own advantage and gain access to a copy of that hardware specific OS build. Here's what to do:
Boot the hardware you need an image for from the Recovery HD by holding Command-r at power on time.
Plug in a JHFS+ formatted external disk.
Select the Re-install OS X Lion option and target the external disk.
Once the Installer finishes downloading, simply shutdown and unplug the disk.
Now when you mount that external disk you will find a directory named Mac OS X Install Data on the root. Inside of this folder is the elusive, hardware-specific, InstallerESD.dmg image that you can feed to SIU or any other imaging tool of choice. Having this installer will now allow you to build out re-deployment images for all of your hardware until rollup installers are available.
http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=getting-lion-installers
Step 2:
Inside the Contents folder that appears you will find a SharedSupport folder and inside the SharedSupport folder you will find the “InstallESD.dmg.” This is the Lion boot disc image we have all been waiting for.
Copy “InstallESD.dmg” to another folder like the Desktop.
Launch Disk Utility and click the burn button.
Select the copied “InstallESD.dmg” as the image to burn, insert a standard sized 4.7 GB DVD, and wait for your new Lion Boot Disc to come out toasty hot.
