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

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 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.

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?

My hard drive died on my MacBook Pro. So the Apple store installed a new hard drive for me yesterday. Now I can't find Pages or Numbers at all. Do I have to purchase these? Thanks for the feedback!

Did you purchase them or did they come with your Mac?

I just had a new hard drive installed and want to upgrade from the 10.5.8 operating system What do I need to purchase?

All Intel iMac's can run 10.6 Snow Leopard.
To get it, go to > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)
If you want Mountain Lion, you wiil need to check and see if it meets the requirements.

I'm not sure if I have to turn in on somewhere in settings or is it simply broken.
Help?

I've had a new hard drive installed and reloaded all my stuff via time capsule and now can't connect to the internet although it say Airport is connected. How can I fix this problem ?

Just had a new hard drive for my iMac and reloaded all my stuff via time capsule, all works fine apart from Safari which won't connect to internet. Airport is connected but each time Safari comes back saying there is no connection....any help gratefully recieved.

So you have the apple rotuer called a time capsule and you have complete the frist time machine back up? but there is not internet access ?

IMac, just had repaired new Harddrive erase deverything,wheres my iPhoto n all those apps, i know the gone from hard drive but i thought they would transfer from my phone

iMac, just had repaired new Harddrive erase deverything,wheres my iPhoto n all those apps, i know the gone from hard drive but i thought they would transfer from my phone? HELP ?

Those Apps would not transfer from your iPhone because the iPhone apps are iOS 5 based and the iMac apps are OSX based. They are not the same Apps. You will need to transfer the OSX based apps over from your external hardware backup you have kept up, Or you can reinstall the OSX based apps from their original DVD's.
Hope this helps

I just got a new hard drive, iCloud only remembered a handful of my music...

I just got a new hard drive, iCloud only remembered a handful of my music and, I don't know how to get the music from my iPhone back into my iTunes library. I want to put new music onto my phone and, I want to make some new playlists and edit some mistakes I found on the songs on my iPhone.
Please help? I am practically in tears here; I am a part-time DJ and do not need this kind of stress.
I do not want to hear that my iPhone is not a back-up device; I just want my iTunes library and the iTunes on my phone to have all the same music so that I can make playlists with everything and such.

So as a part time DJ, your music is not important enough to back up?
I do not want to hear that my iPhone is not a back-up device;
It’s not.
Bad hard drives (and important info) are two reasons you back up your computer regularly.
You do back up your computer regularly, correct?

I dropped my mac pro. The disc drive plays but will not record. medium drive error. How hard is it to replace the drive my self. i see screws on the bottom. Could I just order a new internal drive and replace it? Or is it too complicated for the average ?

I dropped my mac pro. The disc drive plays but will not record. medium drive error. How hard is it to replace the drive my self. i see screws on the bottom. Could I just order a new internal drive and replace it? Or is it too complicated for the average person? Would be cheaper to buy an external drive than to replace internal one? Any advice is appreciated

How certain are you the superdrive ONLY is at fault?
That depends on your skill level, if you grew up tearing things apart and putting them together, its absurd how easy it is.
For some however its too daunting. On a general skill level for the "average" person its about a 3 out of 10 in difficulty.
Can you order same? yes.

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?
