My Recovery Drive is Full, How do I clean it up? (HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO)

Hi, I'm not too comfortable with messing around with the inner workings of my computer, but the Recovery Hard Disk Drive has been slowly filling up for a while now. It is just about full and I was wondering if there was any way for me to clean it up/restore it without messing up my programs and files? I did it once before, but I can't remember how and I'm too scared to mess with it without some kind of instruction.
I have a USB hard drive for making back ups that I use now as a precaution if something goes wrong with cleaning the Recovery Disk.
My computer is a HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Select Edition Entertainment Notebook PC running on Windows 7.
If someone could give me some advice, that would be wonderful.

Hi,
See the HP document on the following link regarding this issue - although the document refers o Vista, it also applies to Windows 7.

How can I add a playlist without deleting the songs I already have on my iphone. It wont let me drag

This is driving me mad. I simply want to add a new playlist to my iphone but a message says that when I beging syncing it will delete my previous songs. I obviously dont want this to happen. In addition, I cant just add these new songs by dragging as it wont allow me to do it. Please help

Hi there. Not sure how to get to where I can ask you a question so I just jumped in here. Hope thats ok with you.
You seem extremely knowledgeable with solutions to all kinds of questions,
My problem is I tried to add a playlist from Itunes to my Iphone (5) and it will not add it. I have been doing this for years with all my Iphones and this is the first time its happened. I still have room to add them, so cannot understand what I am doing wrong.
I would really appreciate any help you could offer, thanks in advance!

How can I clean stuff that got under the speaker grille?detergent particles

Well I spilled some laundry detergent near the Macbook Pro, and some of the particles got under the speaker grille. It's mainly a cosmetic problem because everything still works perfectly fine, but I was just wondering if anyone have any suggestions on how I can get all the detergent particles out from under the speaker grille... I tried vaccumming them out, but no luck.
-Thanks

Welcome to Apple discussions!
No ideas, but I would be concerned about it. You might want to read the ingredients list on the detergent box and see what they are. Detergents can contain a variety of caustic chemicals like sodium carbonate. It's humid in Sugarland and the humidity could get to those fine grains and stick them to the I/O board and whatever else is in there. Over time, no telling what it might do to the traces. So there could be trouble on down the road. You might want to consider having the computer opened up and the particles removed by a professional, particularly if you are under warranty. Apple doesn't cover accidental damage, but possibly your homeowner's policy might.
Good luck!

How can I configure CTRL+Backspace to delete the previous word only and not the preceding space?

The title pretty much explains it all. I'm using a different computer than usually and I'm pretty sure it used to only delete the word and not the space.

Your observation is correct: Ctrl+BackSpace shouldn't delete the preceding space. However, if words are separated by two spaces, one of those spaces will be deleted.
Stefan Blom, Microsoft Word MVP
This is not the observed functionality in every case. It seems that MSWord haphazardly either removes the space or doesn't remove it.
As an example, if I type "and when" and hit CTRL+Backspace, it will either delete the word only or the word and the space, but in most cases it will remove the space as well ("and when" becomes "and"). It seems to toggle between the two but I have no idea
what is triggering it.

It appears windows hacker has locked my hard drive as readonly how can this be disabled?

It appears windows hacker has locked my hard drive as readonly how can this be disabled?

Sorry about the delay; I have called Apple Care sr advisors and spent 3 over 200 hrs explaining the problems to which they always recommend I exchange the Mac with a new one. This is my 5th Mac mini in less than 2 months. Many of the problems are not directly related to windows issues however (in my uneducated opinion should not be happening)Here are the unexplained issues:
1. The sr advisors have been remotely connected to the machine and each one said I was setup on a server;
2. My uid has been replaced with a windows uid (s-18-0-0-1 or sim);
3. All the root certificates seem to be either fraudulent or modified to allow access to root account from remote locations;
4. Apache server is active;
5. WebDAV is configured as well as SQL services;
6. Every newly exchanged Mac mini has iLife uninstalled prior to any updates being installed;
7. Mac updates have warning messages indicating they are not signed properly, "contact software manufacture for more information", apple has no answer to this;
8. Although I have never claimed (nor do I ever want to be computer program literate), I have been plagued by the same issues on Windows PC, Linux and now OS X. My main purpose for needing a secure computer is to write a resume and find employment. In 3 years I have been unable to do either. My data is always Either locked after as read only or is accessible on a URL only.
9. I know this one will only classify me as an insane maniac but It appears as though I am connected to the Internet via an ipv6 udp connection even though my ISP doesn't support ip6 and all GUIs indicate all connections are inactive. This is typical no matter geographical location ie:Denver, San Deigo, Seattle, Boise et al)

How can I add new games without overwriting the old ones?

I have just purchased two new games in the itunes store and although they are showing in the library (under applications) my previously purchased games are not. In Summary under games it will not let me choose selected games only 'all games' and when I press sync warns that the existing games will be replaced. How can I add these games without deleting the older ones? Also if I did want to remove a game from my ipod how do I do it?

Part of the problem is that I can never sync the whole thing as I dont keep all my music in my library (it seems silly to have my enture cd collection on the computer).
Clearly it ISN'T silly as it avoid issues like you are having right now. If you need more space, get an external hard drive. To me it is much sillier to only have your stuff on the iPod and no where else as the iPod, as a small portable player, is much more likely to be dropped, lost, damaged, stolen, forgotten somewhere, etc.
While I am not familiar with the use of games on the iPod (I have never bought any) you can switch the iPod to manually manage and then you can add content to your iPod without losing what is already there. Perhaps it works for games as well.
But long term, I strongly suggest you keep all your stuff in your library so if you need to (you have to perform a restore on the iPod, you lose it and buy a new one, etc.) you can very easily sync it all back to the iPod when needed.
Good luck,
Patrick

E & recovery drive is full!

Just bought a brand new HP Pavilion dv6t-6c00 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC. I am receiving notices that my recovery drive is full and so is my E drive *HP tools* How do I clean these off? The computer will not let me run a backup.

Hi,
You will need to stop whatever is storing or backing-up data to these partitions - although for Vista, the document on the link below should help - as it suggests, make sure that 'Restore Points' are not being created for these partitions and also that Windows Back-up is not accessing them.

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.

I have recently purchased a hybred 750GbHDD as an upgrade for my MAC Book Pro (Intell Version) I have a boot camp partition to the original 500GB HDD. How can I expand both partitions to fit the new drive?

I have recently purchased a hybred 750GbHDD as an upgrade for my MAC Book Pro (Intell Version) I have a boot camp partition to the original 500GB HDD. How can I expand both partitions to fit the new drive?
I have tried bootcamp and have had no luck due to the fact that boot camp doesn't see the additional HDD space of 250Gb. What am I not doing?

Ouch, well there is a problem.
This is the stack of partitions on your old drive
EFI (hidden)
Lion (50GB say)
Bootcamp (50GB say)
Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
This is the same stack on your new drive imaged from the old one.
EFI (hidden)
Lion (50GB say)
Bootcamp (50GB say)
Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
Emtpy Space (100GB say)
This is what you want
EFI (hidden)
Lion (100GB say)
Bootcamp (100GB say)
Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
EFI has to be at the top of the drive and Lion Recovery has to be at the bottom of the drive.
And you only have four partitions.
You can't move the Lion Recovery Partition or Bootcamp partiton, however you can expand the Lion Partition into empty space below it. (but can't delete or move the Lion Recovery partition)
Your Duplicator duplicated perfectly, too perfectly Likely would work with same sized drives/partitions.
This is what your going to need to do.
You need to move the Bootcamp partition to a blank external drive using WinClone and disconnect. This is so you have two backups of it. (one on your old 500GB drive)
You will need a drive enclousre or IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable for the older 500GB drive and option key boot from it. (some enclosures can't be booted from so check first Other World Computing is good place to ask)
Download the free Carbon Copy Cloner, grab any new files off the new 750GB internal drive to the old 500GB your booted from.
Open Apple's Disk Utility and Erase with Zero option the entire internal 750GB drive and let it rip, this will map off as many bad sectors and improve reliability.
Now use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the 500GB Lion + Lion Recovery Partitions to the internal 750GB, it will "fix" things and place Lion Recovery at the bottom of the drive where it belongs, give all the extra space to OS X Lion.
Next your going to have to follow WinClones instructions to restore your Bootcamp, likely you will have to recreate the Bootcamp partition first (in Bootcamp) to the size you want and then clone. Likely Winclone may "fix" Windows to recognize it's in a new larger partition now. I don't know you'll have to check as I haven't used it.
When Bootcamp creates the partition it will place it near the bottom next to the Lion Recovery Partition.
As you know you will have to re-validate Windows with Lord Redmond or it expires as you changed the hardware.

It's confirmed, H.e.l.l. has finally frozen over! TM drives are now bootable!
Still it's not a real bootable clone, can't run the computer off the external drive for long in only Recovery mode, still requires the boot drive to be replaced if it not functional, and with TM backing up every hour, isn't going to offer much software protection as the TM drive is just as likely to be as messed up as the internal boot drive.
For a iMac it still requires the computer to be taken in to Apple for a drive replacement, as ONLY Apple can do it due to proprietary connections and firmware on the iMac hard drives.
But it is bootable!
The backup time factor can be controlled using TimeMachine Editor, from every hour to just when the user thinks it's necessary.
Apple lurches slightly forward! Hurray!
Question is, can one restore from earlier stable TM's or just the last one? In this bootable fashion?

How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?

how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.

Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
ZOOMING:
Zoom into the area you want to print.
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
SNAPSHOT
Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print.
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
Hope this helps!
