IWork won't work after hard drive is replaced

Recently I had my hard drive replaced. Now my iWork apps won't work. Pages asks for a serial number when it's opened. That number was long ago registered, lost and forgotten! Isn't there a place where I can find my old serial numbers and use them to reauthorize Pages, Numbers and Keynote?

Built in iSight is no longer working after hard drive was replaced

I have a 2008 MacBook Pro that has served me well up until recently.
I had my hard drive replaced about a week ago and now I've noticed that my built in iSight is no longer working.
It doesn't work with any application or on any user.
The green light no longer comes on.
I noticed this the other day on my gmail account, no longer showing the camera icon next to my name when i'm online.
So I tried pulling it up on photobooth and ichat etc...no luck.
What should I do?
Please help.
Thank you.

Take your MBP back to whoever replaced the drive and ask them to resolve the rest of the problem.
(Before taking it in, make a current backup if you have added ANYTHING since you got the new drive)
If you want to try some things on your own before you take it back for professional resolution, here are a couple of relatively simple things you can try:

Vista 64-bit Won't Update after Hard Drive Replacement

My daughter has a Satellite L305-S5945 laptop (Model Number: PSLB8U-107071). Running Vista 64-bit SP1. She got a message that Windows detected a problem with the hard drive. After I ran the usual virus scans (no threats or malware detected) and chkdsk route, we were still getting the message. I did a reformat and Windows re-install and still got the message. The old drive was a Toshiba MK1655GSX.
I decided to replace it with a new drive, a Toshiba MK3259GSX. Using the same recovery disks that were created off the old drive, I reinstalled Vista 64-bit SP1 on to the new drive. Windows loaded fine, recognized the new drive, and then recovered all the Toshiba drivers via the recovery disks.
ISSUES:
1) As soon as it released control back to me, I immediately went to Windows Update to begin the downloads of all the updates and security fixes. However, Windows Update remained red and informed that Windows could not update. Then it gave me a error code: 8024A000. It will not check to see if I need updates.
2) I deleted the pre-installed Norton 60-day trial product (first with Windows uninstaller, then used Norton Removal Tool for all the little pesty registry entries) and downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials. After going through a few screens of the SE installation, I got a message that installation had failed, and gave me an error code of 0x80070643.
3) For fun, I removed the new hard drive, replaced with the old failing drive. Still got the message about the hd problem, but had no problem updating Windows or running SE.
4) On the new drive, in glancing through the WindowsUpdate log, I'm seeing a LOT of 0xc8000247 errors (relating to datastore, getservicelist, queryregisteredprovider, etc.)
I am assuming-perhaps incorrectly-that all these errors are related? Other than the updates, Vista is working fine on the new drive.
Any ideas?

Can you give us more details about that situation, Mike? A picture would help. You can attach a small one by adding the .txt extension to the file name as I have done here.
In the meantime, try resetting Windows Update.

Recovery Media not Working after Hard Drive Replacement

I have replaced the hard drive in my dad's Sat C655-S5225. When I run the recovery disk I get an 03-FFFF-0000 error. Please help!

The error seems to be a hardware check failure. I don't really understand why Toshiba ever added this check, as it has been problematic for awhile now. The two most common reasons are updating the bios and replacing the hard drive. The only work around I have seen, is to obtain a Windows Media from a third party and manually install your drivers. Message me if you need to obtain a Windows installation media, Make sure you have a product key, I won't need this and you shouldn't share it with anyone.

Windows 7 64-bit update won't run after hard drive replacement HP G62-144DX

Replaced hard drive, ran recovery discs, everything OK except that windows 7 64-bit would not update. Services showed windows update to be running, but update gave error message: service not started. Reinstalled old hard drive which before all tests had showed drive to be defective and tried again, this time all ran Ok and windows update ran. This time all tests showed the orginal hard drive to be OK.

Hello jzerener,
Is there a question in here somewhere? I'm happy everything is working again, but I certainly can't explain why you encountered these results as you updated.
Thank you for sharing.

Bootcamp not working after hard drive transfer

A problem with my bootcamp has occurred. Recently my Macbook Pro (2008 model w/ Leopard OS) broke, and I replaced it with a brand new Macbook Pro 15" (w/ Snow Leopard OS). I transferred all of the files from my old hard drive to my new hard drive, and everything worked fine except for my Windows 7 partition. Every single time I try to boot my partition, it tells my windows fails to start correctly due to a recent hardware or software change, and gives me the option to start it normally, in safe mode, ect. Each one of these options results in the blue screen of death. When I run it in safe mode, the boot gets stuck on the line "windows/system32/drivers/classpnp.sys" I have tried repairing the windows with the OS disc to no avail. I just keep getting the blue screen. I have tried to undo the partition, but when I click on bootcamp assistant I get the message, "Boot Camp Assistant cannot be used. You must update your system software before using this setup assistant." I have run all available software updates (to my knowledge) and bootcamp still refuses to work.
Does this have to do with me switching from Leopard to Snow Leopard? Can anyone help me, I'm completely stumped.

Then I restored the folder from an external drive to the new internal hard drive.
again, what did you do ?
iTunes Preferences is set to the iTunes folder location on the new drive.
that tells iTunes where to put newly added items, not where the current media is.
But every time I double click on any song I get the error message, "The song … could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I clicked Cancel every time.
if worse comes to worst, this script may work for you:
_*iTunes Track CPR v1.3*_
This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx)."

ITunes won't open after hard drive update

I recently updated my Macbook hard drive to a new SSD drive. I did a clean install of Snow Leopard and bought an enclosure to use my previous drive as an external drive. Before launching iTunes on my Macbook I plugged in old drive and launched iTunes there.
Now when I try to launch iTunes on my Macbook the icon bounces but does not launch. Plugging in my iPhone does not launch iTunes either.
Any ideas?

WooHoo!!!

Recovery Disc Not Working After Hard Drive Replacement

Machine Info:
HP Pavilion DV7-1245dx
Part #NB231UA#ABA
OS - Windows Vista - 64 bits
AMD Processor
Replaced crashed hard drive with 1TB WD internal blue notebook HD. System diagnostics says drive tests ok. I have both recovery discs (part 1 & 2). Recovery disc just runs in DVD/CD drive. I get to "System Recovery Options" screen, but none of restore or recovery manager options execute. I can see directories and files on recovery disc. But no autorun of recovery process and can't execute any of the files. Any assistance appreciated.

First thought- maybe your laptop doesn't support 1TB hdd.Second thought- this is probably an 'Advanced Format' hdd, tripping up Recovery Manager. (Is the hdd recognized in BIOS?)

HT3275 Unable to backup using Time Machine after hard drive was replaced

I recently had my hard drive fail and I had the hard drive replaced. I restored everything from my Time Capsule without a problem. Now when I go to backup with the Time Machine, it stalls. It states it is "backing up: 12.2MB of 227GB" for the past four hours. I have attempted to restart the backup and have had the same thing happen. Any suggestions? Thanks!

If you have restored the backup, did you correctly inherit the old backup when you setup TM again??
See Pondini on inheriting backups. B5 and B6
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Install the widget.. A1
Do a full reset of TM.. A4
Do a verify of the disk and the backup.. A5.
I strongly recommend you simply start over.. this happens with TM sometimes.
Archive off the old backups if you still want to keep them.. no bad idea in case there is something still to transfer.
In the airport utility erase the hard disk of the TC.. and then start again.
Make sure you do at least the first backup by ethernet as it is many times faster than wireless.

IPhoto backups won;t appear in Time Machine after hard drive was replaced

Please help me with this question. Not sure I posted it in the right thread to start with:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2135715&stqc=true

Hi Nidan,
Thanks for digging out the support article!
Sadly it didn't help me either.
Indeed, as Murphy may have it, I think several things might have gone wrong at the same time for me.
My Setup:
Mac Mini called "chief" with 10.5.2, two WD MyBook 1TB drives connected via FW and mirrored with RAID-1.
Mac Book Pro called "tiff" with 10.5.2, connects to mini via ethernet and AFP for Time Machine.
Both machines have been backing up since November and I have been successfully recovering files on both machines as needed.
Until now.
What has happened:
First, one of the MyBooks died, was sent in for repairs and I received a replacement yesterday. The RAID rebuild is still running (takes about 30 hours for 1TB). Even so, the file system is visible, can be mounted etc.
Today I installed Leopard on a third firewire disk, connected to the mac book pro (for testing). I called this system "leopard-test" and told it to back up also, assuming I would get a "leopard-test" sparse bundle. Sadly this attempt crashed so I turned off time machine on the test system.
Now I'm using the original Mac Book Pro system (tiff) and the time machine preferences still point to the Mac Mini disk, still report the oldest backup as being in November 2007 but when I try to recover a file, no history is shown at all.
Indeed, time machine isn't even mounting the backup image any more.
I can manually mount the image and all of the archives back to November seem to be there... it's just that time machine doesn't seem to recognise the image any more.
Any help greatly appreciated! (I REALLY don't want to lose the stuff I've been doing lately! Since I can get at the files manually, I'm thinking of renaming the original archive and starting a new one - at least then I know the old data won't be corrupted (further?))
Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Iwork won't work after upgrading to Lion

Everytime I try to use an iwork app it doesnt load and a box pops up telling me to check if the app works on my os, does lion not support iwork 08.

iWork 08 is supposed to be Universal (meaning it runs on both powerPC and Intel), so it should work under Lion.
I also found a post googling that indicated the person had to reinstall iWork from the disks, but the problems didn't sound like the message you got.

IWork 06 serial number after hard drive crash

How can I get my serial number aftert my drive crashed?
I looked up the order online at the apple store and there is no serial number. What to do?

Sage,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
If you don't have a hard copy of your serial number, you'll likely have to call the Apple Helpline at 1-800-275-2273 to get it. Once you do, you might think about writing it down.
