My iMovie 9 will not install after formatting hard drive and installing Mavericks what are my options?

I have not used my iMovie ever since I formatted my Hard Drive and installed Mavericks. I went to put the disk in from when ilife was originally shipped with the computer and it just spits the disk right back out of the superdrive. Is there anything I can do to not have it just spit a disk out without asking for user input. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to buy the new version.

Here are the original specs of your computer. The specs state that the original hard drive was 320GB. You have since replaced the factory drive with a 1TB (1000GB) hard drive. The HP recovery routine seems to have issues with hard drives that deviate from the original size. The partition issues you are experiencing may be a result of this. As for the rest of your issues, it sounds like the SP3 install went bad.
If I were you, I would consider reinstalling the OS using your recovery discs by doing a complete "destructive" reinstall/recovery. Afterward, I would post the size of both the c: and d: partitions... and go from there.

Itunes will not find my external hard drive and music on it

I have downloaded itunes onto new laptop that has windows vista all the music is stored on an external hard drive. When i plug in the hard drive it no longer finds automatically the music file and runs it as it did on my old pc with windows xp. I have changed the location to find the music in itunes but no luck. If i go into my computer and look at the external hard drive and click on any song it then opens itunes and plays it! Help please

When you say "when i double click on my itunes files it just opens up this list of music." it doesn't mean anything to me. You need to explain clearly, remember I only know what you tell me.
I need to understand how you have things set up and if you had you iTunes library database on the external drive or the c: drive. That is the iTunes folder containing iTunes library.itl.
What do you see when you open iTunes on the new PC, are your music files there. If not, every time you play a track it gets added to itUnes so you should at least have some files in your library.
What problem are you trying to solve? Is just getting the tracks into your iTunes library, or are you also concerned about ratings, count and playlists from the old PC. If so do you still have access to the old PC?

Laptop will NOT Shutdown after a hard drive installation

We have been rebuilding a Pismo from scratch basically. The last part was the hard drive which we did yesterday. It too awhile to get the computer to boot up but when it did it worked perfectly - or so we thought. After replacing all the contents of a broken iBook (cloned backup), we used it for a while and things worked fine. Unfortunately, it will not shutdown. Using shutdown ... it closes all the files and then just sits there with the desktop open. Tried several things and it just won't shut off. Any ideas?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are you talking about the Pismo not shutting down? Or an iBook?
Have you tried forcing a shutdown by holding down the power button for 5-10 seconds? This is how to force an iBook to shut down.
Every time you have to do a forced shutdown instead of a normal one, there is a chance of hard drive damage and you should repair the hard drive, either by booting into Safe Mode OR by starting up from the Mac OS X Install disc by inserting the disc and restarting your computer, holding down the C key as the startup chime is ending. Then click 'Next' at the language screen and choose Utilities > Disk Utility and select the hard drive in the left column. Choose the First Aid tab. Click Repair Disk to test and repair the hard drive.
Once you have repaired the hard drive with either Safe Mode or the Install disc's Disk Utility, then start up normally and repair permissions from Disk Utility in the Utilities folder on the hard drive.
If it continues to have problems shutting down, you may want to try resetting the PMU.
Good luck.

Hard Drive Tray will not fit after attaching hard drive

(From Davin Oishi)
Issue: After installing the hard drive onto the hard drive tray, the tray will not longer fit into the Smart Storage hard disk drive slot.
Using hard drive tray screws from the legacy NSS2000, NSS3000, NSS4000, or NSS6000 may encounter this issue.
Resolution: Be sure to use the hard drive screws that are supplied with your Smart Storage device. Smart Storage ships with screws for both 3.5" SATA drives and 2.5" SATA drives.

If they are still on your Mac's drive then you should be able to add them back into iTunes via File > Add To Library

MacBook Pro will not boot - have replaced hard drive and problem persists

Macbook Pro Mid 2010
4gb ram, 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo
Originally when I received a folder with a flashing question mark upon startup, I assumed I had a failed hard drive. I went ahead and installed a new 500GB hard drive in my machine and installed OS X Snow Leopard. I upgraded to OS X Mavericks, and I had everything running properly. The next day, I went to startup and my Mac would not boot again. The dreaded folder and question mark were back.
I'm wondering what else could be causing this problem? Is it something I can diagnose and repair myself or will I be better off taking it into someone at this point?
Thank you!

You can try replacing the hard drive cable...
Have you tried resetting the PRAM and SMC?
Does the hard drive boot when connected externally?

Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).

Never mind. I kept trying, and finally when I opened "About This Mac" and clicked the software update from there (as opposed to the "Software Update" just below), the Java update finally worked.

PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro

PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro. Pop-up windows inform me that the scratch disk is not available. I would appreciate any advice on how to rectify this problem.
Thanks
marco

Thanks avanishdivya.
I was hoping to avoid that route, but guess it's all I can do.
Thanks for your quick response.
Do you know if it is a Carbon Copy Cloner issue or just the way Adobe sets it up?
For future reference, where should the scratch disk reside? I heard it should not be on the boot drive?

I have Cloned the original hard drive to a new HGST 1TB Hard Drive using four different methods (sector by sector):
Acronis True Image 2015
Acronis Backup for PC
AOMEI Backupper Professional
Macrium Reflect
Each time the cloning process completes successfully and has the same original partition arrangement. The computer works properly except when trying to use the “F11 System Menu” key during boot. It gives the following error message:
“Recovery

You need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don’t have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer. “
Any suggestions why the F11 System Recovery does not work during boot and how to fix the problem would be appreciated. I have does various disk checking and file checking on both the original and new hard drive with no errors.
Thank you in advanced.

Hi,
How did you clone the HDD ? One-for-one or different method ?
Regards.

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again. If the problem remains, update to 10.6.8 and repeat.

Something seems amiss here.

Never mind!
Turns out that I was running a wounded system by removing the ARIRadeon9700.kext file so that the machine would complete a boot with the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Mac+PC edition. I reverted to the original 9600 64Meg card and went back to one monitor with the kext back in. With Quartz Extreme and Core Image supported again, the installer was happy. (Nice the generic error message was misleading, of course.)
Of course, until I can get the new card working properly, I will not be quite so happy.
