I have a Pavillion dv7 error message HARD DRIVE ERROR How do I correct this?

My computer is a Pavillion dv7 model WW181AV running Windows 7
no changes have been made for quite some time (over a year)
During startup- the HARD DISK ERROR comes on. Iran the diagnostics as listed in the HP Diagnostic screen and no error found. Cannot get rid of this error how can I fix this?

If the hard disk diagnotics report no problem then the issue is with your operating system.
A windows 7 startup repair disk should resolve the issue. Windows 7 Startup repair disks are not freely downloadable. You will need to have acces to a PC or notebook that is running the same version and type (32 or 64-bit) as your installed OS. When you have access to such a PC and a blank DVD, then you can make a repair disk of your own.

I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!

This is true of course, but doesn't cover the situation where some files are in the iTunes Media folder and others are on an external drive. In my case I keep my music in the Media folder and all my films on an external drive (there are too many to have on the internal drive). In iTunes 11, and before, it was easy to add those external files by holding down the alt/opt key while dragging to the sidebar. In iTunes 12 this is no longer possible. There are several workarounds: use TuneSpan to move the file after it's been added; delete the file from the Media folder and empty the trash then use iTunes Get Info which will report the file is missing and allow you to locate it; constantly switch the Add to iTunes toggle on and off as required. All of these require a lot more work than just holding down the alt/opt key while adding.
It constantly gets harder.

If you have a Mac OS 8.x or 9.x CD (depending on the iMac model), look for a Drive Setup utility somewhere on that disc. Boot from the CD while holding down the C key. Initialise the hard disk with a 'Zero all data' option chosen.

Have over 86GB of music now showing as "other" and although it is still on my iPod it is not playable. Most is from imported CDs. I do have a backup file on an external hard drive. How can I fix this?

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

I have one folder on my desktop, i want to copy it on external hard drive so how can i do this?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Connect the external drive and open a Finder window pressing the Finder icon in Dock. Then, drag the folder to Finder, so it will be copied to this external disk.
If you can't copy this folder, probably you have to format the external disk or use an app that allows you to write in that external drive. Mac OS X can't write in NTFS external disks

I have videos stored on an external hard drive. How do i convert them to use in iMovie?

I have videos stored on an external hard drive. How do i convert them to use in iMovie?

Well you first determine the file types iMovie can import, then you determine the file types of the movies themselves and look for the best format to change copies of them into so they can be imported into iMovie.
Once you have determined the best video format for your needs and that iMove accepts, you'll have to find software to convert one format into another.
I'm lazy, so I use my 17" HD 1080i screen to playback the video in it's native format and use SnapZ Pro X to screen record that into Quicktime format that iMovie certainly accepts.
Not everyone has a 17" 1080i HD screen nor the money to buy SnapZ Pro X though.

Since I upgraded to 10.9.5, my macbook no longer recognizes my external hard drive. How do I fix this? External hard drive is a 1TB Toshiba formatted for mac. Worked fine until latest upgrade.

Solved the problem by dumping my external HD onto another computer. Re-formatting and re-installing the data. Not what I wanted to do but it solved the problem.

I print a PDF. I want it to save, no matter which program I print from, to my hard drive. How do I do this?

I print a PDF. I want it to save, no matter which program I print from, to my hard drive. How do I do this?

Hi print to file default,
Please forgive me, but I'm not sure I follow what you're trying to do. Are you trying to print a PDF to PostScript (that's typically what "print to file" refers to). Or, are you simply creating PDF files, and you want them to save to you hard disk? I'm not sure why you would want to print a PDF file "to file."
Are you perhaps using the Create PDF Desktop printer, which automatically saves files to your Acrobat.com online account? (If so, please be aware that Create PDF Desktop printer will be retiring shortly. Please see Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer is no longer available.)
Please help me understand what you're trying to achieve, and we'll get this sorted out.
Best,
Sara

I have a MacPro with two 1T hard drives. How do I access the hard drive that is not the start-up drive?

I purchased a MacPro and upgraded to 2 1T hard drives. How do I access the hard drive that is not the start-up drive?

Have you formatted these new drives yet with Disk Utility? That is the first step.
Once they are formatted, if you want to see them on your desktop open the Finder preferences, General, and clock the checkbox that says "Show these items on the desktop" for the hard disks. If that preference was already set you should see the drives appear after they are formatted. Then they are there for you to use as you wish.

ITunes wont open, getting error message, hard drive crash

i had my secondary hard drive die. My windows is on my C: all of my music was on my D:. Now iTunes wont open becuase it cant access D:. If I try to uninstall it tells me it cant find D:. If I try to re-install it says it cant find D:. I have cleaned the registry of iTunes, and it still wont reinstall. Any thoughts, thanks in advanced.

FF won't open and an error message appears on the screen "unresponsive script" it I open task manager and stop the error message FF runs normally, how do I fix this problem

This problem only started when I upgraded to FF 4.0. I am running Windows 7. When I go to the task manager I am able to see the error message in the processes area, if I highlight it and tell the task manager to stop it, FF immediately starts and runs normally. I have no idea where the error message is coming from.

Without any prompt from me, Firefox is continually redirecting itself and displaying a 404 Error message. What can I do to correct this?

Upon laptop start-up, with Firefox as my web browser, I generally visit news sites beginning with with CNN. Aside from updating Adobe Acrobat Reader to the X version, I have not added anything to my laptop (A Sony Vaio A/W series 64 bit operating with Windows 7) recently, but I am continuously being redirected via the 404 error message without clicking or while reading an article. Firefox has also been crashing daily despite efforts to keep the cache clean and a minimum of programs running during use. I use Norton 360 for antivirus protection and update daily and have not found any bugs to suggest adware or malware. I do have Chrome loaded as a secondary browser, but Firefox has been my browser of choice until recently. Help.
