I bought (used) a hp mini 110-1000 netbook that at the time had what appeared to be windows 7 starte

I bought (used) a hp mini 110-1000 netbook that at the time had what appeared to be windows 7 starter on the machine. After booting into windows, it displayed the blue screen of death. I didn't locate a recovery partition or was able to access windows system restore, so I ordered a windows starter usb system recovery and received it today. After trying unsuccessfully to reinstall windows I am at a loss. It gets about  a third of the way installing the software on the system and then it says it failed. I ordered by both the model number (110-3000 , or product wy699av) and serial number {Removed for privacy}. I am at a loss as to what to do, as I have bought a usb recovery media and it won't continue the install. Nowhere on the netbook is a sticker declaring the os or the model number so i researched by the other model #'s i found listed..Please help, and thanks.

I dont know how they had windows starter on this unit, but the sticker is for xp. Guess I bought a recovery usb stick that is usless to me, and now I'm stuck with it. I also checked the bios and it said it had a non vista os, after I found out how to get into it. I still don't understand how I was able to order the win 7 starter recovery usb, even after I input the serial number into the form. I would have thought it wouldn't allow me to order an incorrect os.

  • HP Mini 110-3500 Netbook: How to skip Boot Manager screen when booting into Windows 7 Starter

    Hi,
    As per the topic. I can't seem to deactivate the boot manager screen and it's getting really annoying having to press the enter key each and every time I turn on my netbook.

    First you need to get into the BIOS.  You can accomplish this by holding down the F10 (aka volume up) key located on the top of the keyboard near the right.
    Next hit the right > arrow key (located on the right bottom of the keyboard) 3 times to get you to the System Configuration tab.
    Thirdly, hit the down arrow key (located on the right bottom of the keyboard) 3 times to take you to the Boot Options sub menu and hit Enter
    Hit the down arrow key once to highlight HP Quickweb and hit enter.
    Select Disabled and hit Enter
    Hit F10 (Yes should be selected) and hit Enter
    DONE!!!

  • HP Mini 110 - 1000 Factory restore HOW???

    I am trying to factory (hard) restore / reset my HP Mini 110 - 1000 to original factory settings (with all hard drive erased to original factory condition).
    There is no restore function, no cd drive.  Each time I do a restore, it takes it back to a version that my files are still viewable.  I want to wipe the hard drive clean and take the netbook back to original factory condition, please help.  I have tried everything just about.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I have a power pc (g5) computer that I will soon be replacing with a current i5 or i7 mini. How do I transfer the Time Machine files from the internal hard drive on the G5 to an external drive that I will later use with the Mini?

    Hi, likely the easiest is to just poll the drive & get something like this...
    Get MacScan...

    m1doc,
    Are you migrating from a Mac or a MS Window machine? Either way you probably should be in touch with AppleCare, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support. They can usually help on issues like this. If you don't know the phone number please use http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 to help find the number in your country.

    No. Your iMac only has DVI video connection. You would need an iMac with Thunderbolt.

    to create standard-conform DVDs = playable on any DVDplayer, there's much more to do than just converting to mpeg(2)...-
    you need a DVD-authoring app, as iDVD, Burn, Toast ........... drag any iMovie export into it, 'burn'.

  • Can I use my iPad Mini while plugged in thus keeping the battery at 100%?

    Can I use my iPad Mini while plugged in thus keeping the battery at 100%?
    Or must I use it on battery all the time?

    Copied from Texas Mac Man ...
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.

  • I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account.  How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

    I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account.  Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace.  How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?

    With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?
    I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.
    My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.
    How to correct that
    Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

    I've had the same problem. This solved it...
    Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).
    Hope it works for you to...

  • After zooming in on an object using arrow keys to nudge, it crashes most of the time

    After zooming in on an object, using arrow keys to nudge, it crashes most of the time.
    Versions:
    Illustrator CS6, latest update
    Mac OS X 10.9.4
    FontAgent Pro 6.2
    Troubleshooting I've tried
    -trashed all related Illus. preferences
    -updated the only plug-in being used (FontAgent Pro), to the latest
    -disabled all but absolutely necessary fonts
    -repaired both system and user permissions
    -quit all other apps, so that only Illus. running.
    -fonts verified
    Was never a problem until a couple weeks ago, so the obvious question is "what changed?".  The two things we changed in the time period that the crashing started, is we replaced a balky external drive with a new one, and started our TimeMachine backups over again. And #2, we updated to the latest CS6 versions (due to other quirky issues).
    One odd thing to point out...perhaps is "normal", but in the crash reports, it's reporting that Illustrator is 16.0.0, but "About Illustrator" shows that it's 16.2.2.
    Everything else running fine on this iMac -- no reason to suspect it's the operating system.
    Has anyone run into this bug? If so, what have you done to fix this?
    I've not seen anything like this mentioned in Adobe's update change logs or their troubleshooting info.

    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select "Navigation Toolbar"
    -> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset"
    -> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
    -> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click "Clear Now"
    -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE any Unwanted/Suspicious Extension (add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable the Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.
