"No Bootable Device --Insert Boot Disk and press any key"

You either used Boot camp to create a Windows partition or you have, had, Windows installed and now it can no longer boot to Windows.
At startup hold down the Option/alt key to get the starup Manager screen. When that comes up if there is a Macintosh HD entry, and or one that has OS X installed on it, select that. If the system boots to OS X your good to go. Then remove the Boot camp partition by running the Boot Camp Assistant app again.
If the system fails to boot to OS X or there is no listing for OS X then more than likely you have a hard drive problem.

I opened my laptop and it started beeping like a siren

I had my laptop in hybernate, and it had no problems when I was using it 30 minutes before. The, I opened it up and pushed the on button and as it ws starting up it started beeping like an alarm and wouldnt stop even evn I shut the lid. Eventually, it stopped on its own. What happened? Will it happen again? and how can i fix it?
Thanks

Don't worry about that! your laptop maybe slow battery, or keyboard error (stuck button keypad)

Hello chrispyw,
If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

You can reinstall Lion (Mac OS X) by pressing Command + R while booting your Mac. No need to re download Lion again.

My laptop have refused to start it will just show windows boot manager on the screen,

My laptop have refused to start up, it will just show windows boot manager on the screen,and me to choose an operating system to start or press tab to select a tool but when I tryed all those things none of it will respond

Thanks also Star 1. I have gone the route you suggest also but with the same results as I explained to the hatter. I have about a dozen die-hard Windows friends and they have been trying to help me also. We have tried everything and I have read a several pages on how to do it but nothing looks like what they are saying it does. When in Vista, Vista says it is the default SU OS. When in XP, XP says it is the default SU OS. So there is nothing to change. Only the Windows Boot Manager (which is really not a manager but a boot selector) shows Vista as default and XP next. I've learned again what I already knew. Windows is a conglomerated piece of crap that is hard as heck to use.

I am thinking about upgrading to PSE 13. How many computers can you install it on? I have a desktop at work and a desktop and laptop at home. I would like to install it on all three.

You don't have to purchase it again, but you do have to download it. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Your data is already lost. You must restore your phone in order to be able to use it. This is why Apple offers you two ways to back up, including iCloud, which backs up automatically over wireless every night if you're plugged in to power and the screen is locked. How much easier could it be? Yet you say you haven't backed up in months. If your phone was lost or stolen, or you dropped it in a puddle, you would be in the same boat.

I was printing last night and my HP6500 started blinking like crazy and now even the print test page

I was printing last night and my HP6500 all-in-one started blinking like crazy and now even the test print page wont print. Control panel says it's fine, which obviously it's NOT.
Any ideas?

Yikes...a 200 error...while the official KB for that is not presently available, the usual fix is to reload your OS...something during the update did not go right.

Hopefully, you already have a good backup of your data...because it is already gone.
Good luck and let us know!

How to auto start services like apache in a zone when i boot it

Current i have a zone that has a web service configure and it runs fine with "/etc/init.d/apache start"
but i would like to auto start it like a service when the zone boots.
correct me if i am correct but i think it should be in a start up script.
please advise me on how to achieve the above
thanks
r@ymond

I suggest taking a closer look at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1985/6mhm8o5n0?a=view which explains the whole booting process in detail.
Apart from that you may also want to check the "ln" manualpage (ln(1)) which explains how to make symlinks on Solaris. After that it should be relatively easy; you basicly create a (sym)link in the right directory and then you're homefree.

Using Itunes, I copied all my apps from my Ipod touch to a new Iphone 4. Problem is all the apps on the Iphone are starting up like a new install. I would think my "password" app and "lose it" app would have the past data transferred to the Iphone.

Open Accounts preferences. Create a new user account with the name and username of your choosing as well as your own password. Be sure to give the new account Admin status. Log out of the old account and log into your new account. Now, delete the old account.
