MBR changes and OKR doesn't work

In my case, with a G550, I'm not sure if I changed partition sizes or not, but I did have some MBR problems. Now I'd like to restore the machine to factory state, and "One Key" Recovery won't work. I've changed the factory partition to ID 12, and now at least the OKR button brings up a Windows boot error, whereas it had booted into Windows before. So at least it's trying to do something.
The central question I have is: is it possible to get a factory recovery disk? This OKR business is for the birds. What were they thinking of, to tie such an important function to such a fragile thing as a partition scheme? Lesson learned: burn recovery disks first thing.

OK, I called support. He said that if there have been any partition changes the OKR is no longer functional, period. He claimed there is no way to restore it with an MBR repair. It eludes me why there isn't some facility for finding the recovery partition after changes have been made. Hello?
He also said that new disks would restore the entire hard drive to factory status, and are not dependant on the recovery partition.
But at $59, it is not worth it to me, when my main goal is only to reload Windows. Unless I can come up with a way to restore recovery functionality, I'll probably just reinstall Windows, and even might reclaim 15 GB of disk space in the process.
But I would much rather have that recovery partition functioning.

When I open the browser, it says as an alert regarding the profile directory and says that read/write should be changed and it doesn't work then.i uninstalled and re-installed firefox6.0.2.how can i overcome this problem

could not initialize the application's security component .the most likely cause is problems with files in your application's probile directory.please check that this directory had no read/write restrictionsand ur hard disk is not full or close to full .It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem.if you continue to use this session ,you mightsee incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features....THIS IS THE ALERT I GET WHENEVER I TRY TO OPEN FIREFOX.

Usually when someone mentions "passowrd" in a posting it will not be related to an Adobe product but to the machine that you are trying to implement some installation or update for. If you explain more about what you are trying to do and describe what you encounter it might be easier to determine what you are dealing with... include a screenshot to help explain as well if you can.

HELP! Uploading AS3 Game to server, no sound and Spacebar doesn´t work HELP!

Hello, relatively new to AS3 and flash, this is the first time i am publishing anything. We are trying to upload our simple flashgame to our webserver, the game works perfectly fine locally save for one thing. We get an error regarding TLF which says it wont stream or something. So when it gets online, no sounds play and spacebar doesn't work, left and right arrow does work. We have three TLF text fields that are used to update score, lives and show you final score. If i turn these into classical text they stop working.
Things we have tried: Changing default linkage from RLS to Merged into code, changing the text boxes to classical text(they then stop working), made sure the paths are correct(all files are in the same directory including the .swz file)
This is the code from the soundclass:
package
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.media.Sound;
    import flash.media.SoundChannel;
    import flash.events.*;
    public class MySound
        private var bgSound:Sound;

        private var waterSound:Sound;
        private var earthSound:Sound;
        private var lightSound:Sound;
        private var soundChannel:SoundChannel;
        public function MySound()
            soundChannel = new SoundChannel();
            bgSound = new Sound();
            var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("BackgroundSound.mp3");
            bgSound.load(req);
            //fire
            fireSound = new Sound();
            var req2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("soundFire.mp3");
            fireSound.load(req2);
            // water
            waterSound = new Sound();
            var req3:URLRequest = new URLRequest("soundWater.mp3");

            // earth
            earthSound = new Sound();
            var req4:URLRequest = new URLRequest("soundEarth.mp3");
            earthSound.load(req4);
            // light
            lightSound = new Sound();
            var req5:URLRequest = new URLRequest("soundLight.mp3");
            lightSound.load(req5);
        public function playBgSound()
            soundChannel = bgSound.play(0, 999999);
        public function stopBgSound()
            soundChannel.stop();
        public function playFireSound()
            fireSound.play();
        public function playWaterSound()
            waterSound.play();
        public function playEarthSound()
            earthSound.play();
        public function playLightSound()
            lightSound.play();
I can somewhat get that sound can bugg out, but why does spacebar stop functioning? ANy help is greatly appreciated as this has to be delivered in twelve hours(published online) for a school assignment.

Also might add publishing it locally in my own browser everything works, as does ofcourse playing it in flash itself. Changing from RLS to merged into code stops the error from coming, but doesn´t fix the problem on the server.

Hi!
I restarted the computer, but the same issue happens again. When I move my mouse over some object or tool, it doesn’t come active at all (only some of the tools works) When I try to change “site properties”, I can’t choose tablet or phone mode or even I can’t select the checkboxes, only thing what I can do is change the numbers (high and width) . After all the main problem is that I can’t select some of the items or functions by mouse, but only by the keyboard.

Remove "Boom" and test.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

Booting problem, mouse and keyboard doesn't work for 2 minutes

I got a brand new mac mini 2.4Ghz just 3 weeks ago, got a few problems over the last week that I've been able to fix, but now I'm stuck with a problem when booting. The booting process seems a bit slow, and once the desktop has been fully loaded, the keyboard and mouse doesn't work, and the computer is using the non-calibrated Display Profile. After about 2 minutes, the display profile change to calibrated, and the mouse and keyboard work again. I have no clue about how to fix that problem, and I'm thinking about bringing the computer to an Apple Store by tomorrow if I can't fix it.

Moving backward and forward doesn't work as it used to do

The latest update, 32.0.2, or perhaps the one earlier, 32.0.1, has created a problem with Fx.
Moving backward and forward doesn't work as it used to do; and if it is done quickly, backward and then forward again to the last page, Fx gets confused and both pages get the same address and the browser shows the same page.
Guess it has something to do with the latest changes to how Fx handles the cache, or that in combination with how some pages use scripts.
As it is it can be a pain to use sometimes.

Are you able to switch songs from control center when Spotify is playing on your phone?
If you have Spotify playing on your computer then it won't show in control center on your phone. You will have to open up the app to control music on your computer.
This is because iOS does not show anything on the control center unless an app is outputing audio. The Spotify app is not outputing audio, it only shows what is playing on your computer.
Does that make sense?

Hi, I am wondering why my iphone won't send pictures through messages, I have MMS on and I have tried sending it with 3G on aswell and still doesn't work. Someone please help me :)

Hi, I am wondering why my iphone won't send pictures through messages, I have MMS on and I have tried sending it with 3G on aswell and still doesn't work. Someone please help me :)

Hey lozza567,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Issues with sending and receiving MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
- An iPhone 3G or later.
- iOS 3.1 or later.
- A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
- A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
- A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
9. Restart your iPhone.
10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
11. Reseat your SIM card.
If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.

my iphone 6 wont turn on after i updated it and it doesn't work to restore it in itunes. what should i do?

Hello ole-gunnar,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is unresponsive after updating your iOS version, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting below.
If you see a black screen
You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on.
You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device. If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
Restart your device.

If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
