I installed a new SSD on my new HP Envy dv7. I have no recovery disks and can't create them since the drive is new. How do I get recovery files on a flash drive so I can put it in the new laptop and begin the recovery process?

Hi, this morning Skype worked correctly. Two hours later I can hear the other person and see it but cannot hear me, It is a brand new HP ENVY dv7 Notebook PC running on Windows 8.
Thank you.
Bernard

Hello soincabf,
I see that you are having problems with Skype on your HP computer. I would like to help with this issue but I need some information.
Can you provide the full model and product number of the computer? Here is a link that shows how to find that information.
Does the webcam work properly on Skype?

Can't install photoshop cs6 on brand new iMac - "Media db error: 18"

At my company we recently hired a web designer – given his insistence on using the Adobe software, we decided to give Photoshop a try.
We downloaded a trial version and tried to install it on the brand new iMac (no previous installations of adobe stuff) we just bought for the new desigher, but... it's not even installing!
The installation process halts at around 2% and an error screen appears which gives generic instructions ("restart your computer and retry") and points to a log file where one can read "Media db error: 18".
Of course we tried restarting the computer, cleaning up ~/Library, re-downloading the installer... no good – we then downloaded and run an adobe cleanup utility... still no good.
Some people on the internet report they have the same problem... we found several questions on the matter, but no answer (besides "restart your computer" and other generic stuff that we tried and does not work).
We then called Adobe support (Italian support) and they told us they don't give support for trial versions, like we should sight unseen buy a (pricey!) software we can't even install! .
Can anyone here help?

Thanks for your help!
No, no beta or previous installations of any Adobe products – we are trying to install to a brand new iMac (just bought last week from the store): it has the latest version of everything (Os: Lion 10.7.4)
Is there any debug switch I can turn on on the installer to get further information on what's going wrong? ("media db error" is a somewhat laconic error message)

Dozens of drivers will not load on brand new HP ENVY 14t-1000 CTO Notebook PC. Win 7 Ultimate N

I recenty paid for a brand new HP ENVY 14t-1000 CTO Notebook PC.It had entirely too much bloatware and I have doe fresh install's hundreds of times. The installs went fine but only 4 drivers from the driver page for this product on Win 7 will install. I am without the Wifi, Ethernet, Sound, Display, Smart Card Reader, and about 10 more that I am not sure what they are. I googled the PCI ID's of some and found what should be the driver as in the Wifi is the Broadcom driver from the support page for this product but after the install nothing happens. Then you get the pop up that says there was the program may not have installed correctly. If I point the device directly at the directory for any of these it says driver not found. I have never had such a time installing drivers for a supported OS. It came with Win 7 on it. I am just trying to perform a clean install. I will gladly provide the device ID's for anyone at HP that can give me a driver that will work. The ones on the appropriate page do not. I know I am missing the IDT sound driver, The realtek ethernet driver, I believe the ATI HD Video driver, and the Broadcom Wireless driver for starters but once again all version new and legacy on the drivers page DO NOT install. Help. I am this close to calling HP and returning this thing. I only received it today and would have no qualms about sending it back.

Hi: This is a peer to peer forum. No one on this forum is authorized to respond on behalf of HP to any posts made here. I looked at the support and driver page for the 14t-1000, and that model is 5 years old according to the release dates of drivers listed there. Ar you sure that is the model number? Can you please post the product number for the PC? The product number can be found on the same sticker as the serial number. You can also post the top line of each hardware ID's for each device needing drivers. I'll see what I can find. The driver directly from Realtek should install the card reader (PCI Device). You want the first driver on the list. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=15&PFid=25&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Can I install OS9 on a Brand new iMac to run Photoshop 6.0.1?

Hi there;
Today I purchased a brand new iMac. I have been installing my old applications and found that I cannot install Photoshop 6.0.1. The following is the message shown:
"You cannot open the application "Install Adobe Photoshop 6.0.1" because it is not supported on this system"
My old iMac is a G3 and runs on a Panther. Can I install Mac OS 9 on this new Mac so that I can install Photoshop 6.0.1? If yes, how can I do it?
Regards.

Hi KP4ABC;
Since the official position of Adobe is that they are no longer supporting PS 7 at all, I would think your chances with PS 6 are right up there with the snowball in that hot place. In order to get anything that works with any reliability you will have to upgrade, probably to PS CS3.
I have to say that PS CS3 is a significant upgrade over PS 7 which is as far back as I go with Photoshop.

Installing 10.5 on brand new drive

Hi,
I've been playing with a box of imac intel (core 2 duo) parts and got it all together and running. Please don't mention how any warranty has been voided. I know. This is sort of a project.
I installed a brand new hard drive (1 terrabyte) and got the 10.5 disk to install on the drive fine after I monkeyed around with formatting the drive first. I think I made 1 partition in order for it to show up as a drive in Disk Utility. Anyway, I installed 10.5.
Then I restarted it and got the lovely desktop with all the apps and such. I tried to do a software upgrade so that I could have the latest OS (10.5.8) and got an error message saying basically that it could not install the upgrade and that I should check with the software's manufacturer.
I then went into Disk Utility again and repaired permissions. I used Disk Warrior to rebuild the drive. All successful.
Then I went to try to upgrade the software to 10.5.8 and got the same error message.
And then got a kernal panic.
Can anyone tell me what next I should try? Did I goof it by partitioning the disk in disk utility? Was there something I should have done with the new drive before installing 10.5?
Also note that I could not get the optical drive to work so have been putting the imac into target mode and using my MBPro (2.16GHz) to do all installation stuff, as well as running disk utilities and disk warrior.
Thanks in advance.
Sheila

OK it does say GUID Partition Table.
That's the right choice.
Do you think this might be from a faulty new hard drive?
It's hard to say. If you have the "system disc" that came with that computer, I'd run the diagnostics on it. If you can't make the optical drive work, there may be other things wrong.
When you assembled that iMac, did you put "thermal paste" (or whatever the official term is) in all the prescribed places? If not, you might have problems causes by overheating.

Install WXP on a brand new MBA

I have a brand new MBA with LION OS 10.7.3. I have av ECG program for WXP but in the new MBA you must install Windows 7 and then my program won't function. I also have a MAP and on that at installed WXP when I used SnowLeopard, but after update to LION everything is OK even the ECG program.
Is it possible på downdate LION på SnowLeopard and the use BootCamp 3.0 and install WXP? Does anybody download just BootCamp 3.0 to LION?
Please anybody help me to get WXP on my MBA.

Use Parallels or Fusion if VirtualBox is too complicated. Or, Windows 7 in Boot Camp runs XP programs so why do you not think it will run your program?
You will notice that the other posts regarding getting XP running with Lion Boot Camp never get to the 100% solution. There are no XP drivers for Lion or the new hardware. It you think installing VirtualBox was complicated, you will not do well following the convoluted posts saying how to install XP.

Unable to install itunes 9 on brand new computer

Hello I have a brand new compter and I'm trying to install itunes. Each time I get the following message: "This application could not be open. Verify the package exists and that you have access to it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package"
I have read some post with similar problems and I have installed the Windows Install Clean Up - however there is aren't Apple applications on my computer so there is nothing for the Install to Clean up.
Can you please assist me with loading either itunes 9 or an older version of itunes. I have Windows XP
Thank you

Each time I get the following message: "This application could not be open. Verify the package exists and that you have access to it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package"
Hmmm. The installer packages may be getting damaged during the download with that message.
Do you have any better luck downloading a working installer if you use Firefox instead of IE (or vice versa)?

Install Snow Leopard over brand new Lion based MacBook Pro

Dear Forum.
This is actually a hardware question plz this is not a meant as a discussion whether Lion beats Snow Leopard etc.
Plenty of threads around communities tells how to install 10.6.8 over 10.7 But there is a warning sign!!! :
I have a brand new top-of-the-line MacBook Pro (shipped with 10.7.2) and for some reason it won´t even start from a 10.6.8 DVD
I was thinkin´ go scratch the 750 GB HDD at one of my other Macs, but for some reason I´m afraid that Apple now have bugged the HW so it won´t be able to install 10.6.8 no matter how sofisticated changes are made??
Anyone knows or have any experience??
With love from Denmark, Thanks everyone for reading this

so it won´t be able to install 10.6.8 no matter how sofisticated changes are made??

Installing and configuring a brand new SSM

Hi,
Our company decided to switch SSM platform, from the current Windows Server 2003 32 bit with MaxDB to a Windows Server 2003 64bit with MS SQL Server.
We've just installed a brand new SSM system on the new platform and we're now going to start its configuration.
We do not want to migrate any data from the previous installation, so a system copy will not be needed.
However, we have this question:
What is the procedure to "detach" the old SSM (it only does Early Watch alerts and has the System Landscape maintained)?
Is it necessary or just configuring the new SSM will be enough?
Thanks
Antonio

Hi António Barrote
If your old system is getting satellite system data using TMS/LIS rfc, then you have to remove your old solman from the Transport route.
If the datasource is SLD, then you can stop the communication using the tcode SMSY_SETUP Edit--> Expert settings. Remove the SLD server entry from there.

Mac bluetooth now not installed but was previously, brand new???

Hello,
I would love some help. My brand new iMac (27-inch Mid 2011) serial number C0********HJQ that I purchased this month is having severe bluetooth issues. Up until today the bluetooth was working without any troubles, but after it went into sleep mode my magic mouse and wireless keyboard did not respond. I changed the batteries and they lit up but were not recognised by the machine. The bluetooth icon is no longer visible anywhere in my computer and under the system report>hardware>bluetooth there is no data for the bluetooth. How do i fix this?
note- cannot use keyboard in this process as i only own a usb mouse
Regards,
Monique Rennie

Open System Preferences > Bluetooth
Make sure the On and Discoverable boxes are selected.
If it says: No Devices then click Set Up New Device then follow the instructions.
And tick the box next to: Show Bluetooth in menu bar

Worn out software, useless crapware on a brand new HP Envy laptop

I purchased an HP Envy last week. Brand new - i7, 8GB ram, 1TB disk. Screaming machine. Crammed with crap. And I got it from BestBuy.
My primary purpose in buying my laptop was specifically Cyberlink PowerDirector, which came with the machine via Cyberlink Multimedia Suite. Nice. Except that the suite - and all of the products inside it including PowerDirector - is two releases old. It came with PD v10, and the current release is v12.
You disabled Windows Defender, then installed McAfee Anti virus software, and then advertised that the system came with McAfee. McAfee requires an annual subscription, with the first year free (offered by McAfee, not BestBuy). So it's not exactly "free". Shame on you. It is not HP's policy to do this, says HP tech support, it was BestBuy's policy. In fact, HP does not recommend, nor support, McAfee or Norton (another common after-market add-in).
Adding insult to injury, my purchase ALSO included a "free" anti-virus software, offered by the reseller, one of three that I could choose between WebRoot, McAfee, and TrendMicro. Of course, it's not really free again: I have to purchase a subscription. But I now have THREE anti-virus applications.
Next, there were two copies of CyberLink YouCam. One is called "YouCam", the other is "YouCam 5". They are both from CyberLink. They are the same application, except that one is older version than the other, and neither are the latest copies.
Next, there are several multimedia players - Windows Media player, Cyberlink, and sMedio. Really: how many do I need?
You did the same with photo viewers and mangers: Windows Photo Gallery, Picture Gallery, and arguably Windows File Explorer.
Then you did it again with music players: Windows Media Player, XBox, HP Connected Music.
Then you did it again with file sharing: Box, SkyDrive, HP Connected Drive.
And you did it again with video editors: Movie Maker and Cyberlink.
And again with messenger/chat software: Skype and Pinger.
What's more - you didn't provide any documentation for any of the software you crammed onto the system.
Although I am happy with my laptop and accessories, you have significantly cheapened it's value, as I now have to spend a great deal of time figuring out which are needed Windows components, which is crapware, and which is duplicated junk.
When I got it home, I took it out for a spin, and discovered the aforementioned oddities. I brought the problems to the attention of BestBuy (corporate HQ, it turned out), who referred me back to the store manager, who referred me to their GeekSquad, who never - 2 weeks later - responded back.
At the same time, I contacted HP tech support, who confided in me that they have no knowledge of how this software got installed, who installed it, or who to go to for support. They don't even recommend using some of the software that came instlled (eg, McAfee).
Nice. So HP is blaming BB. So I personally went into BB with my rant, and spoke with a Geek, who walked me through a series of steps. Honestly, it was nice being talked to like a child, for it made me realize how the process worked.
"Did you order a custom machine?" "No."
"Was the box opened before you opened it?" "No."
"Was there a packing slip on the box?" "Yes. It indicates it came from an HP shipping center."
"So, you got an unopened box from HP, and you want to know where/when/how we installed that software?" "Uh, well..."
Nice. Now I have HP blaming BestBuy, and BestBuy blaming HP. However, BB seemed to be playing the role of tactful diplomat: Geek suggested the possibility that Microsoft coerced HP into installing the duplicate/crapware/old software.
I'm not buying it: I came from HP's factory, and much of the duplicate stuff is from HP which overlaps MS applications. And why would MS induce anyone to disable Windows Defender so that a competing product can be used, or, why would MS induce anyone to include PowerDirector on top of MovieMaker?
So, HP, I challenge you to explain why my new machine contains old/duplicate/crapware. Did BB put you up to the specs? Did MS put you up to the specs?

If it makes you feel any better, I ordered my HP Envy 17-j184nr directly from HP and it came with all of the same crap installed, and I've spend hours trying to get everything cleaned up so it's actually useable.

No HDMI Audio Out Option on Laptop, Brand New HP Envy 17

I am trying to watch youtube and other streaming video on my television. I have a receiver that has 5 hdmi in that I use to run all my devices. When I plug in my HDMI cord the video plays on my tv but no audio, and I hear the external device disconnect sound. I opened device manager and see an error above hi definition audo device under sound. I am quite frustrated with trying to diagnose this. HP Support has updated the bios and poked around and pretty much shrugged and said we dont know. I have updated the audio driver and no luck there either. On my wifes 8 year old laptop all you do is right click on the white speaker and select hdmi out.
Cliffs:
Plug in HDMI cord to brand new laptop, video plays on TV no Audio, attempted to install new driver and hp updated the bios and still no luck.
No option for HDMI in playback devices
I have tried 5 different cords
Error above Hi Def Audio Device under Device Manager Code 10 Device cannot start

Brand new HP Envy (windows 8) constantly crashes

Hi,
I just bought a HP envy audio desktop (i7, windows 8) 2 weeks ago. After a few hours, it crashes with no reason. Since it was a brand new, we didn't have time to install anything on it, so it is pretty "out-of-the-box". Crashes could appear many times a day, or nothing for 2 days. When it crashes, nothing responds anymore: no mouse, no keyboard, no CTRL ALT SUPP. So I guess it is an hardware issue. When it crashes, we need to shut it down with the on/off button and start it over.
It can happen reading a video with VLC or simply just surfing on the web or watching pics.
Since we thought it was a hardware issue, we brought it back to the reseller after one week to have a brand new computer (same model) since yesterday. Then we have now the same issues (sudden crash).
We bought a high quality PC, so expensive one, from a recognize company, we expected that buying a more than 1000$ computer will ensure to be able to start using it quite immediately.
Hope to have an answer quickly.
Regards.

Guiguy,
Welcome to the HP Forum!
You want to spend the time to set up the computer entirely. This is not an "HP" thing -- this is true for any computer.
Not only is the computer in need of Windows Updates the first time you turn it on, this is going to be true for the first few days -- LOTS of updates.
You MAY need to check with the computer's webpage and see if there are any updates for the HP software. There might be a couple of HP drivers that need updating if the computer spent some time on the store shelf before being purchased.
Things to check include whatever programs are in the Start Menu -- that is, programs that Start when the computer is booted. Some programs / software packages do very well when started from the desktop or from the Start Screen; the same programs may not do so well as "Start Up" programs that execute as soon as the computer is booted.
Sometimes the problem is not the "Start" programs, but just a program that you are using that "should be fine" but is not FINE and is hanging and hogging the cpu, the network, the disk -- something. You can check the Task Manager to see what is running and how much resource it is consuming.
If your computer is underpowered, that is, you bought a big computer with say, 4GB of ram (memory), then you are not going to be happy. Windows 7 is a resource HOG - Windows 8 is better, but it is not a "tiny OS".
If you are connected to the Internet and you are not well protected, your computer than be infected almost as soon as you start surfing the 'net. Make sure your Internet Security software is switched on and working.
Sometimes all it takes is to make sure the BIOS is set to defaults.
