  • HP Pavilion dv7 - can't get access to recovery manager

    I'm trying to restore my computer back to factory settings or just format it and start over.....  I go through f11 to recovery manager, but the only option I'm allowed to choose is to recover using disks.  I don't have the disks to do this.  How can I do any kind of recovery if I don't have access to the recovery partition?  I've tried restoring it to a previous time also, but It only gives me 4 days previous to select from as well.

    You can order recovery media here, or call HP on the Phone to order a set.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-2075eo Entertainment notebook pc - Can´t, get TV tuner working

    HD went down, and after I made a recovery, I opgrated to Windows 8.(32 bit)
    All driver for hardware were lost.
    I´d found all drivers on HP´s site, but I can´t, get TV tuner working - can´t find hardware-
    Can enybody help me with that?

    I am going to be honest here. There is a good chance that not all hardware will be functional. This system was not designed for Windows 8 and was long before Windows 8.
    With that being said, you can try this Vista Driver in compatibility mode. This is the driver for the express TV Tuner Card.
    1. Download the driver.
    2. Start the extraction process and take note of where it is getting extracted to. Cancel the installation once the extraction is finished.
    3. Navigate to this extracted folder. Right-click the setup/installer file and select Troulbeshoot Compatibility.
    4. Follow the prompts in the troubleshoot and select the automatic settings option.
    5. Select Test Program when prompted.
    6. Follow the installation.
    7. If no errors were presented, it may work at this point.
    NOTE: This process may not work, but it is a good place to start.
    If you were using Windows Media Center previously, you may need to find a different solution. It is not available by default and will need to be added separately to Windows 8.
    Here is the link for Media Center for Windows 8. It starts off by adding it to Windows 8 Pro, but the actual wording of the special offer towards the bottom does not specify Windows 8 Pro as a requirement. It may be worth trying.

  • Have entrourage and want to use Mail. Can't get it to work.

    I had a macbook and purchased the Microsoft office for Mac which included Entrourage.
    I have now purchased a new macbook Pro and want to begin to use Mail rather than Entrourage. 
    I have Entrourage on my new computer but i can't get it to transfer my information to the the Mail program
    I am on Charter.net at my office and sbcglobal.net at home.
    How can i get this to work.  I can receive on Mail, but i can't send.

    check your outgoing port settings and make sure it's using a specific port and not the default port, also you might want to check to see if it is using SSL, TLS or any other encryption.  Verify the setting from your old machine setup.

    If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

    Hi,
    Is there an iPhone involved ?
    If not, what happens  if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
    What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
    Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?
    In Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) this did not seem to be important but it seems it is in Mavericks/Messages 8

  • I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

    I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.

    Hello,
    You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
    If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
    Best of luck

  • I have a go daddy email account and I can't get it to work on my iPad

    I have a go daddy email account and I can't get it to work on my iPad

    Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
    If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad.

    I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161.  Any ideas?

    The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
    Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
    Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.

    Iphone 5 went black.  Tried pushing on/off and circle at the same time.  Worked yesterday and then did it again today.  Can't get it to work.

    You need to hold those button longer until you see the apple logo, then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

    Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
    Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
    There are tutorials here
