I just had a new hard drive installed. After loading everything back on my computer from external drive, i came to the "select wireless network screen. I've misplaced the WEP password for my internet. Is there anyway to find it on another computer?

Maybe. What kind of other computer are you talking about? What operating system is it running? What kind of wireless router are you using?
Your best bet may be to just reset the router and set it up again.
Just so you know, WEP is a very old security system for wireless and is considered insecure. If you have it available, use WPA2.

  • I just had a new hard drive put in at the AppleStore.  When I looked at the icon, I noticed that it was named snow08.  Is that normal - or do I have someone else's hard drive?

    Is that odd?  Do I have someone else's hard drive?

               I think apple named your drive snow08. I really don't think they would replace your drive without the new one completly erased, that would be pretty sloppy of them. I guess they could have, i just do not think they would have!

    i just had a new hard drive installed on my iMac (due to the Seagate replacement program) i was able to migrate my back up(i think) but its now acting like a new computer and i can't get past the registration screen. I filled everything out but the "continue" button won't highlight and let me cxontinue.

    Ah the mac wants to play games..
    Ok, You should be able to click on continue twice so to skip it.
    What version is the OS you restored? Or did you just perform Migration Assistant on it?

    I just had a new hard disc installed and now the LBP0000 canon printer does not work saying it can't connect to CCPD...connection refused! pls help!!?

    You need to reinstall the printer driver, and set up the printer on the new hard drive.
    The Canon site should have the driver. Download it and install.
    Then go to Apple menu / System Preferences / Print & Fax and click the + (plus sign) and follow the directions.

  • My Macbook Pro has just had a new hard drive put in it but i still need to install snow leopard without a disk?

    My Macbook pro has just had a new 500gb hard drive in it and osx snow leopard had not been put on it because i never got a disk when i bought it. It still comes up with the grey screen with the flashing folder which i think would be normal because there is nothing on the hard drive. How do i install OSX Snow Leopard back on it the cheapest way possible?
    Thanks

    You might be in a bind. While is is normal for new Macs that shipped with Lion to omit a system installation DVD, yours was running Snow Leopard. Apple included a system installation CD or DVD for every computer that shipped with every computer through Snow Leopard. Lion was installed on every machine built starting about August 2011, ending the DVD era.
    Apparently your computer had been sitting in someone's inventory for a while, but that's no excuse for them to have removed the DVD from its box.
    Try booting Lion Internet Recovery. Read this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    I suspect Lion Recovery may not work since "your computer's eligibility for Lion will be verified with Apple" and you appear not to have purchased it.
    Please let me know what happens when you attempt to boot Lion Recovery.

  • HT201250 I just had a new hard drive installed in my iMac.  Migration manager cannot see my external Time Machine hard drive to restore the files and applications.  The drive is operational in Finder

    I cannot seem to migrate the full time machine backup from an external hard drive back to the new hard drive.  Finder sees the drive and files.  When I use Migration managers, it only sees the computer hard drive after I select the time machine option to restore the files.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    With what OS X version did you make the backup? If it was the same as the version you are using now, you don't have to use Migration Assistant to restore the backup. Instead, there's a safer and better method, but you will lose all the changes you have made since the last time you made the backup.
    Just hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery. Then, select the option to restore a Time Machine backup, and follow its steps. Also, you will be able to select the backup you want to restore

  • I just had a new hard drive installed and now my pages and numbers are missing... do I have to purchase those?

  • I just got a new hard drive and would like to find my "favorites" from a previous Firefox.

    I just got a new hard drive and had to re start Firefox but cannot find my Favorites. Are they stored somewhere that I can locate them?

    First, let's call them Bookmarks. :-)
    Do you have your old hard drive connected, or a backup of it? Your Firefox bookmarks are stored in a personal settings folder known as your Firefox profile folder. The location varies depending on whether you had Windows XP or Windows Vista/7 on the old hard drive.
    XP - C:\Documents and Settings\''username''\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    Vista/7 - C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
    Your first profile folder names contain random letter/numbers then -default, but you might find multiple profile folders. In that case, the most recently updated probably is the one you want. Look inside for a folder named bookmarkbackups.
    Let's assume you got that far and you have a number of dated files with a .json extension. You can restore those backups to your new Firefox. This article describes how (you will use the Choose File... option to get at that old file): [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
    Any luck?

  • Had a new hard drive installed and want to move book marks to new drive

    I had a new hard drive installed and want to move my book marks from the old HD to the new HD
    Not sure how to access the FireFox book marks on the old HD and how to install them in the FireFox on the new drive

    See [[recovering important data from an old profile]] in particular the section "Copying files between profile folders" and the one below it that describes the files in the profile folder.
    The article shows how to find your current profile folder, you will need to find the equivalent folder on the old drive, the path to the current profile folder should show you where to look on the old HD for the old profile folder. The actual folder name for the profile folder will be different, but the path to it should be the same.

  • I have had a new hard drive installed. On start up I transferred all my settings and documents from my time capsule. Once complete I have two user accounts. Mine and guest. I cannot access either. Mine says password incorrect even though its not.

    I have had a new hard drive installed. On start up I transferred all my settings and documents from my time capsule. Once complete I have two user accounts. Mine and guest. I cannot access either. Mine says password incorrect even though its not. Any idea what is wrong here and how I can reset my password. I don't have a start up disc. Thanks very much

    From System Preferences/Help:
    Reset your login password using your Apple ID
    Before you can use your Apple ID to reset your login password, make sure that FileVault isn’t enabled on your computer.
    Also make sure that an Apple ID is associated with your user account, and that an administrator has given you permission to reset your own password using an Apple ID. For more information, see this help topic:
    Associate Apple IDs with your user account
    Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
    In the login window, click the question mark in the password field, and then click the arrow in the dialog that appears.
    Enter an Apple ID and password, and then click Reset Password.
    I don't know if it works.
