Laptop not working and hard drive too

Every time I played a game on my laptop I would get a blue screen and the error IRQL_DRIVER_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (igdkmd.sys) and I looked it up online where i found a guide telling me to disable my intel hd 4000 graphics card and when i did that my computer stopped working properly, my desktop icons disappeared, I cant use the internet or file explorer, which I need to re-enable it. Also when I did a full computer scan by pressing F2 during startup I got an error code, 9LNFUF-6PC7GJ-MFGJXG-60X803 which is apparently a fault in the hard drive, I think I still have a warranty in case thats of any use. I need my laptop up and running for schoolwork and for use around the house because it is my only computer.
Thanks in advance.

I suggest you perferm a Windows system Refresh.
Refresh Windows 8

Finder & Dock do not work - Mac Hard Drive does not appear on Desktop

Until yesterday, my powerbook was working properly.
This morning, I wanted to use it and I had the following problems after login.
1/ My Mac Hard drive does not appear on my dekstop
2/ My dock appears but no icon works when I click on them. So, I can't open finder. I have no response.
3/ Furthermore, my top bar (with clock, login name, Airport icon...) appears but it is frozed.
I try several solutions as :
- rebooting in safe mode,
- rebooting, with in the same time, hold different keys (option, apple, p & R)...
As of today, no solution works.
Thanks for your help.

Ok, that's good enough. You may be able to repair this with the 10.5.8 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
EDIT:
I have around 5 Go space left on my Mac
Also, your getting very low on disk space. Try to copy some of the data off to other media. *Do it before you try applying the combo, you'll need the space.*

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)."

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.

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?)

Satellite Pro A120-10W - Function keys not working since hard drive wipe

Hello,
I have a Satellite Pro A120-10W running Windows XP Pro SP3, and have just had my hard drive wiped, because of viruses. Everything seems to work fine, but I cant use the function keys to change the brightness etc. I have looked at various help forums however most seem to give answers for Windows 7 or vista. 7
Can someone help please?
Thanks in advance.

Hello
As you can see in other threads, you need special drivers/tools for FN keys to get them working because there is no Windows standard driver for these keys.
Anyway, you have to download Common Modules as Akuma wrote. After installation the keys should start working again.
You can download the tools on official Toshiba website.
If you have problems with installation or it was successful, just post some feedback. ;)

I just fix my macbook air because it was kernel panic. They changed the hard drive. I could not back up with Time Machine, because it did not work and I had over Adobe creative suite 5 design premium student. But I finished my studies last year and I'd like to know how to get the serial number for me to reinstall Adobe creative suite 5 design premium when I am no longer study because I would still like the used? It is not fair if I do anymore because I really need.

You can download Creative Suite 5 here:

Memory modules and hard drive not recognized

I removed and reinserted the factory installed Satellite L505D-LS5007 laptop hard drive and memory modules just as practice for installing a hard drive upgrade and an 8GB memory upgrade. The problem is obviously with the memory and not with the hard drive.
After the first practice try, one memory module was recognized. Also for a few seconds after the first practice try, I ran the PC with the battery installed, but no memory installed. I did not look in the User's Guide first to see that I should have removed the battery before removing the memory.
Now the System Indicator Lights for the HDD Activity and Memory Card Reader do not light up. The PC turns on and the display is solid black with no messages.
Before buying new memory modules, what possible ways might there be to get the PC to recognize the factory installed memory modules and hard drive again?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When troubleshooting, I always change one variable at a time. I would hate to miss a solution by being in a hurry. In this case, you may have damaged either the RAM or the RAM slot. I would stick with the Toshiba specifications for the RAM, making sure it is the correct size, speed and type recommended. I also recommend that when you replace the RAM that both modules be from the same manufacturer, size, and specification. Try one RAM module in one slot and then the other. And then try both RAM modules in both slots. After the testing you should be able to figure if this is a RAM problem or a RAM slot problem.
In the case of hard drives, the real test is whether or not the Bios sees the hard drive. If the Bios doesn't see the hard drive, it's not going to work. The Bios should see the hard drive whether or not the hard drive is partitioned, formatted or has data on it. My experience has been that many Toshiba laptops will work fine with larger capacity hard drives provided they are the same speed in RPMs, have the same interfacing connection and physically the same size.
Again, prior to doing any work on your computer, make sure that both the AC power has been disconnected and the battery has been removed. Be careful out there. A blown repair job by a non-Toshiba tech is NOT covered under warranty.

Migrate an iTunes library from one computer to another
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entireiTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one, with ratings, play counts, playlists etc. preserved. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd normally recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library and unlike copying with Windows Explorer the process can be resumed if it is interrupted and it will continue to the next item if there are any read/access errors.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See Make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Sending by Dropbox where, To who, to what computer? As your does not start up.
You need to take at least the OS disc to a work Mac computer and create DMG from the OS install disc then restore that DMG to USB thumb drive. Then you can boot the computer from that thumb drive and install the OS. That is if your hard drive is functioning correctly.
Then you can use the App disc in the external CD/DVD drive to load up all the included Applications that come with your version of OS X.

CS3 in MAC OSX7 gives licensing stopped working following replacement of logic board and hard drive.

Repair of MacBookPro with OSX7 replaced logic board and hard drive. CS3 notified that licensing has stopped working. It worked before the repair -- and I believe that I had a similar problem in the past. The Live Chat said that they were not compatible -- which doesn't make sense since it worked fine before the repair. How can I get it going again. Chat room said I had to buy new product which seems crazy.
