I tried the recycle option on my laptop and now it wont startup

I recently tried to recycle my computer.... now It keeps restarting and the intall windows block keeps popping up at startup. Every time I click ok... it does the same thing over and over.

ronald,
I have seen a variaton of this, except in my case I cannot Click OK due to not having any TouchPad / Mouse control (on a Notebook). I can, however, press the Return key that appears to allow the install Process to continue in spite of the nasty little message.
The good / bad thing about the results: The process finalizes in the sense that the system does boot and the process does not endlessly cycle up-down-back-forth.
The bad thing: My system is running on Windows.old .
My situation is not the same - I was using an odd Customized Image on a hybrid system, blah, blah. The result is similar enough that I thought it worth mentioning.
Try pressing Return instead of Clicking OK -- IF it works, it may allow you to at least break the cycle.
You will still need to fix the underlying issue: The Recovery partition contents may be 'bad'.
You may need to order a set of Recovery discs from HP for your notebook.
How did the Recovery contents become corrupted? Well, in my case, I know the cause. In your case, I have no idea.
If you are sure the problem is NOT your Recovery Partition:
Try again, this time, disconnect EVERYTHING except the AC Power, the mouse, the monitor
Leave the wireless on
Switch off all other printers, computers, anything else on the network
Note that my experience in Desktops is much less than that in notebooks - ignore anything that doesn't make sense. Smiling.

I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb

Hi,
I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb.
I can see the files in the home/sites folder but cant seem to be able to replace them with the site that is already in iweb?
I have just upgraded to lion on the macbook pro and was using 10.4.x on the desktop.
Is there any way to replace the files and work on the web site on the MBP?
And I dont see the library/application support/iweb folder anywhere.
Much appreciate the feedback.
Thanks

As I said earlier, iWeb does not open/import webpages.
And yes, you need the domain file. The movie demonstrates how to move them to and from the default location.
And the page explains how to open the hidden library folder in Lion. Which is also discussed in the Lion forum and extensively in this one.

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app(s) in your purchase history. If there's a button markedACCEPT on the right, click it.
Step 2
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 3
From the App Store menu bar, select
Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
Step 4
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 5
Delete the app(s) you want to update and reinstall them.

I just tried to jailbreak my ipod and it wouldnt work so i just ended the whole thing and it erased all my photos and it wont play any music. How do i fix this?

The reason the alphabetical sections aren't showing is because you don't have enough songs. In order for them to show, you have to have a certain number of songs. ( I think it's 40 ).

Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:

iTunes as you see it in the application window uses a series of files and folders contained in the iTunes folder. Some people make the mistake of only backing up their media in which case all you have is a bunch of media files without the iTunes structure. In that case you have to build a new library yourself.
What exactly do you mean "not recognized"? The phone does not show up on the computer at all, or it does but it says it will wipe the phone? The wipe the phone stuff is again because it cannot find the original library to which it was synced. You need to transfer the entire iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup you made of it.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

HT203163 I recently had to replace my laptop and now when I try and sync my phone to my laptop I am asked to authorise the laptop, but after I enter my login and password, the search for itunes fails with a message that itunes is not currently available

I recently had to replace my laptop and now I can't sync iTunes and my phone - the message is that the laptop is not authorised and when I try and authorise it it says that the itunes store is currently unavailable - but it is available on my phone, and I have been trying for over 24hrs - it should be available by now.
I have checked my firewall settings and they are ok
How can I remove old PC's that I no longer use and make sure that this is the only computer that is authorised for my account - and how can I access the iTunes store so that I can authorise it?
Help please
