Need recovery on IdeaCenter B, windows 7, elderly non-tech needs help

OK, so something has gone wrong with my all-in-one and I need a recovery. I have all my important data backed up on a separate hard drive. What do I actually do next? I know nothing, but hopefully someone will find this a ludicrously easy problem and help me out

Hi suedevon,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
You will have two options,
1.
Turn OFF the machine and Turn it back ON, Then rightaway start tapping F2 on the Keyboard,
This should let you boot or give you options for Recovery. Follow the prompt to complete recovery.
2.
You will need to Contact Lenovo Technical Team and ask for a Recovery CD "Fees may apply"

I have Audition 3, but my computer has crashed, and I need to install adobe 3 on a new computer. The adobe 3 that I have is an upgrade, I am needing to install it in windows 8, what do I need to do?

My new computer is windows 8, adobe audition is an upgrade edition, what do I need to do?

While it is iffy as to whether or not it will work with Windows 8, even if you had a full version you would not be able to install it. You need to acquire a special version of it along with the serial number for it. See the following:

Recovery Backup Option for Windows 8

I have an HP Envy dv7 Notebook with Windows 8. This is probably going to be a silly question.
I am trying to find out what recovery media I need to create in case I need to recover my PC. There are 2 different places on my laptop where I created backup on a USB drive. The first one is under The Recovery Manager. Under The Recovery Manager and under "I'd like to take safety measueres, there is an option to Create Recovery Media Creation. That says it creates a set of media for your system. I went to that and created the media recovery on a US drive.
I then found another page located under the Control Panel. Under the Control Panel, and then under All Control Panel Items, and then under recovery, there is an option that says "Create a Recovery Drive." Under that option it says Create a recovery drive to refresh or reset your PC, or to troubleshoot problems, even when it can't start. I clicked that and created it on a USB drive as well.
My question is are these both the same thing or are they 2 different ways to restore your PC. Do you need to create both of them to be used for 2 different ways to restore your PC or do they basically restore in the same way!
Also, even though I have Windows 8 I have a place under control panel, and under all control panel items, Windows 7 File Recovery. I'm not sure why I have that because my laptop came with Windows 8 installed. Do I need to do anything with it, or do I even need it at all. Theres options in there to create a system image or a system repair disk. I just dont get it becuase its under the Windows 7 File recovery and i dont have Windows 7. If anyone can kind of guide me what I need to do or any input on my questions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi markussukram,
You are wanting to get information on how to create a back up on your Windows 8 pc, is this correct?
Here are a couple of documents that will show you how to create Recovery Media as well as backing up your pc data.
This first link gives information on how to create Recovery Media in case the operating system becomes corrupt or unresponsive.
This link gives step-by-step instructions on how to back up data using on a Windows 8 pc.

Rescue and Recovery 4.3 for Windows 7, installation

Hello,
I purchased my system June 16, 2009 with Vista downgraded to XP Pro so I was not able to purchase a upgrade disk from Lenovo.
This week I purchased the Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium upgrade package at a local store.
I did the upgrade (clean install) Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium on my ThinkPad T400 type 2764-CTO. Also successfully installed all Win 7 64 bit ThinkVantage software with System Update 4.
I downloaded Rescue and Recovery 4.3 for Windows 7
The documentation for the installation of R&R 4.3 is difficult to comprehend and I could not find a post on this board that deals with my topic.
The recommended procedure before installing Rescue and Recovery on computers running the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 is:
you must download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (x64) SP1.
That was done with no problems!
To make the Rescue and Recovery program work with Sysprepbackup in the Windows 7 operating system, you must download and install the Sysprepbackup accessory package.
The Sysprepbackup operation changes in the Windows 7 operating system because a new version of Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) is built in the Windows 7 operating system. When you run the System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) and use the /generalize option, the Sysprep operation disables Windows RE by removing the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) entry to the Rescue and Recovery Pre Desktop Area (PDA). To make the Rescue and Recovery program work with Sysprepbackup in the Windows 7 operating system, you must download and install the Sysprepbackup accessory package.
and here starts my problem installing the package!
Instruction:
To install the accessory package in the Windows 7 operating system and take a Sysprepbackup on a USB hard disk drive, do the following:
Type the following commands to start the Sysprepbackup process using administrative privileges: cd "\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery" rrcmd sysprepbackup location=U name="sysprep backup" The "...run sysprep now..." message displays. Note: Before you take a Sysprep backup on the USB hard disk drive, make sure that there is at least one backup on your local hard disk drive.
Go to the C:\Windows\Systme32\Sysprep directory and launch the sysprep.exe file. The System Preparation Tool window opens.
Be sure to select Quit from the Shutdown Options drop-down list box. Click OK to save the setting. The Sysprep process begins.
When the Sysprep process is completed, run the msi file that you downloaded using administrative privileges. Wait until the package is successfully installed.
Restart your system. Then, it will automatically boot to the PDA to continue with the Sysprepbackup process on the USB hard disk drive. For the detailed parameters about the restore operation commands using RRCMD, refer to the Rescue and Recovery 4.3 Deployment Guide. Software versions to use with this release.
3.At the end Install the Rescue and Recovery 4.3 package.
Ok that should be simple to do.
What is "Sysprepbackup" and do I need to follow the installation procedure above to be able to install and run Rescue and Recovery 4.3 for Windows 7. I dont think I need to or want to do a "Sysprepbackup on a USB hard disk drive". or may be I will when I understand what it is.
Can I simply install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (x64) SP1 and the the Rescue and Recovery 4.3 package.
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I installed Win 7 Pro 64 on my T400, ran TVSU and installed R&R 4.3. Fortunately, I didn't read those instructions first, or I might not have done it
Have you tried just installing R&R? If it needs anything else, it should ask for it during the install. IIRC, it does require the VCC+ package.

Rescue and Recovery 4.3 on Windows 7 64 bit won't install

Hi,
I had to reinstall my Windows 7 and when I did that I accidentally wiped away the Recovery partition. I didn't think this would be a problem but now I am trying to install Rescue and Recovery 4.3 on Windows 7 64 bit and I keep getting this error
"Error 25014. There was an error installing the Rescue and Recovery boot manager. Return code: 6"
I am wondering why I am getting this error and how I can install Rescue and Recovery 4.3?

Hi,
can you also specify, how did you installed Win7?
Using Recovery CDs? or?
Note, that RnR needs to modify the boot loder of Windows and if the access is blocked, due to permissions, then this situation of course will happen.
However, there is also a second option, on how to get RnR installed and this is using a command line installation which will NOT install the RnR partition.
NOTE: the change in the boot loder is needed only for the creation of this RnR partition.
For more info, please read the following RnR manual:

Feel free to ask any other question.
Cheers

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.
I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7. After several years of use, I am self taught and adequately proficient for an amateur. What I didn't realize (until I started researching my upcoming migration on the Internet) is that I actually use PE8 for two functions: digital asset management and digital editing.
Regarding Digital Asset Management: My research leads me to understand that PE on MAC does not provide the same level of organizational capability that I am used to having on Windows, instead providing Adobe's Bridge which does not look very robust. Furthermore, iPhoto, which come on MAC will not support the hierarchical keyword tagging that I require to organize my library of photos. The two SW applications which I am thinking of switching to are either Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom. Frankly, I'm thinking that it would be smoother to stay within the Apple product line.
So the remaining question is whether Aperture will support my digital editing needs. The tweaks that I do to my photos are not very complex (no, I do not want to put people's heads on other animal bodies). But could someone who uses Aperture tell me whether It will allow me to do the following kinds of edits?:
- If I have a photo where someone's face is too shadowed, can I lighten just that person's face, and leave the rest of the photo as-is?
- if I have a photo where the background is cluttered (eg, 2 people in front of the Parthenon which is undergoing renovation), can I remove just the construction cranes?
- Can it splice together several separate photos to give a panoramic?
If, once I get Aperture, I find that it cannot enable the kinds of editing that I do, I would probably get PE11 in the future. However, if people in this forum tell me that Aperture will definitely not support the kinds of editing which I've described in the previous paragraph, I would prefer to get PE11 with my initial configuration (since someone will be helping me with my migration).
Thanks in advance for your consideration and help!

I am concerned, however, about using a non-Apple Digital Asset Manager in OSX. I would really like to avoid integration problems. Is using PE11 to import and catalog my digital photos likely to cause conflicts?
Thanks for any insight on this
Amy,
Not so much conflicts as maybe a little less seamless integration with Apple software and perhaps some third-party software providers in the Mac App Store where some programs build in direct access to iPhoto and Aperture libraries for getting images into those programs easily. Typically, there is a manual command to go to Finder (think Windows Explorer) to browse folders.
One caution to mention however, is that the organization you set-up in PE Organizer is unlikely to transfer over to either iPhoto or Aperture if you decide to change at some point.
The only real stumbling block that I see in your opening comment is that you want hierarchical keywording (Kirby or Léonie can go into the details on keywording limitations as I stay at one level). If you can work with the keywording schemes of either iPhoto or Aperture, then using PE for your external editor (either program supports setting an external editor) would probably be ideal since you know PE well. This is the idea with the Mac App Store version of PE (editor with no organizer).
Note - I use Photoshop CS6 (full version) with Aperture and it works really well. The only downside is that Aperture has to make either a TIFF or PSD file to send to an external editor so that the original file is protected by not sending it to the pixel editor. While TIFF or PSD files protect the integrity of the image information without degrading it, they are typically much larger file sizes on disk than either RAW or JPEG files. Therefore, your library size (iPhoto or Aperture) will balloon quite a bit if you send a lot of files to external editors.
One other possibility for an external editor would be a program called Pixelmator. It is pretty similar to early versions of Photoshop, but built for Mac. Other than the panoramics you want, it will do most pixel editing that PE can do. It is not an organizer, so it is built to go with either iPhoto or Aperture. It does have differences in how you complete certain procedures, so there is bit of a learning curve when you are used to doing it the Adobe way.

My iPhone 5s on ios 8.1.2 is stuck at Apple logo or recovery mode.. To fix this issue, i need to update it to ios 8.2 through itunes.. I want to ask that my data i.e. Photos and other personal data would be removed after updating it or not..?

if yes then how can i save my data or get out of recovery mode.. Is there any safe mode or something like that on which i could access my data..
P.S. I have not taken any backup of my iPhone on itunes..
Please help me sort out this issue..

Recovery mode doesn't mean that all your data is already lost. You only lose your data if you restore it.
When you plug the phone is into iTunes hold down the home button. iTunes may then give you the option JUST to update the software first. This should not get rid of any data.
However, if iTunes is only giving you the option to RESTORE and update, then you will lose your data I'm afraid.
Hope that helps!

Do I need boot Camp to install Windows on a separate drive

I'm getting a new Mac Pro and want to install Windows XP on a new separate drive (I have the need sometimes to be running in full Windows mode). Do I need to use BC? If someone has the procedure I would appreciate it!
Also can I then use that windows install to then install VM Fusion to use unity to run some Win Apps while in OSX... Thanks in advance

I'm a newbe to Mac Pro and I'm still confused about loading Windows XP. I have Fusion and would prefer to run it and Windows on a separate drive. (I don't expect to need Windows for much, but I don't want to have to reboot to use it.) I think I'm hearing that Fusion must be loaded on to a disk or partition formated with Mac OS Extended. Then Windows would be loaded on to disk or partition formated in FAT or NTFS. Is this correct? Can Boot Camp be used only to format the Windows partition or do I need it at all? ( I guess if Fusion can setup a Windows formatted partition, I would not need Boot Camp.) If I start with a clean drive, Mac formated, does the following sequence make sense?
1. Use Boot Camp to setup a Windows partition on part of the new drive.
2. Load Fusion into the remaining Mac formatted partition.
3 Load Windows into the Windows partition.
4. Done - Ready to load PC software into the Windows partition.
Sorry to be so elementary and if there is another sequence that makes more sense, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Pop up Window before saving remembering the need (forcing) to fill required fields in a form

Hi!
I searched the "old" forum and have very good help from UVSAR but unfortunately I'm not able to access my message sent to that forum anymore.
[I could never thank all the people who answered because I keep receiving "Your submission has triggered the spam filter and will not be accepted.""]
I've have never use Java scripts in my life: I started about three days ago.
1) I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro X (Windows 7)
2) I've created a form using Microsoft Word and save it as a pdf file.
3) After I created a form using Acrobat Pro X;
3.1.) This form it's not going to be submitted over Internet. It will be send by e-mail to some persons. They will receive it, fill in the form and send it back to me via e-mail. Note: I will save it with extended rights in order to allow to be read with acrobat reader (I'm the only one of the group having Professional edition).
4) In that form I've created some text fields (for now it's just what I need - no radio buttons, dropdown
menus, and so...)
5) Choosed Properties and marked 7 fields as "required";
6) Used a script I found in here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/784322 (thank you for the authors of the thread)
if (!event.target.valueAsString) {
app.alert("My text My text", 3);
7) This script allows me to remember people to fill that 7 specific fields (when using mouse or tab).
8) So... What I really need? Here are the reasons for my request for help:
8.1.) When people use the Acrobat Reader Save button (not a button I created inside the form) it will pop up an alert message. Users will receive a pop up window telling them they need to fill those fields before saving the form and send it back to me. Can someone share a script, please? Thanks in advance.
8.2.) Is there a way to colorize the fileds that need to be filled? Again I only learned where to insert a java script yestaerday sou I'm not able to write one. I'm sorry for my newbie questions.
8.3.) Last question: In one of the fields there will be an e-mail address. On the end of the form I want to create a button like "Send by e-mail" and When someone press that button the e-mail will be sent to the address that was written in the earlier specific field. How can I do this (link a button to an e-mail address in a specific field)? Can someone help me with a script or ideas? Hope I was clear.
8.1.) UVSAR sent me the following code that works fine untill I save the document for the first time. Affter that he never shows me pop up window again.
var isFilled = true;
for (var i=0;i < this.numFields;i++){
var f = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (this.getField(f).required && !this.getField(f).valueAsString) isFilled = false;
if (!isFilled) app.alert("You must complete all the required fields");
8.3.) With the help of UVSAR I used:
var mailto = this.getField('emaddr').valueAsString;
if (mailto!='') this.mailForm({ bUI:true, cTo:mailto, cSubject:"This is the subject", cMsg: "This is the body of
the mail." });
else app.alert("Cannot submit form until the email address field is completed");
but gives me an error (Note: I named the filed with e-mail "emaddr")
Once again Thank you so very very much to all the kind people who take their time to share knowledge...
I'm not a native speaker, sorry for some errors
Best regards
AC

HP Photosmart C5580 , I need a network driver for windows 7 64 bit.

hello all ,
this is the only driver supplied by HP for my printer and Windows 7 64bit :
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL30128/mp-74904-1/PS_AIO_04_C5500_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_1...
as you can see it is listed as "NonNet" and as it is such I am unable to print from ANY other computer in my house , I have been trying o solve this for months , Complete reinstalls of drivers (hundreds of times) and complete reinstalls of Operating systems , this will not work.
(also , the only OS's supported under this drivers listing are the Windows 7 family only , could this be the problem?)
What I have running now:
Main PC , Windows 7 64bit ( the printer is installed here with above and only driver , all software and buttons work and prints as it should)
XP MCE Laptop (sees the printer , installs it , shows it as ready , will NOT print)
Vista Ultimate 32bit ( sees the printer , installs it , shows it as ready , will NOT print)
Vista Home Pro (sees the printer , installs it , shows it as ready , will NOT print)
I am at a total loss other then this driver just is not right , maybe because its not a network driver?? I don't know but I am out of things to try , I have tried adding the port , finding the printer through the ip yada yada on all the PC"s , nothing works
PLEASE if anyone has an answer or direction for me to go , please help.
thanks , have a wonderful day.

I'm not on a wireless netowrk , I have a fully wired network...still no printing (from other computers) if the C5580 is hooked to my Windows 7 64Bit PC
I had to put the C5580 printer and drivers on one of my Vista PC's (in another room) and now all the PCs (even the windows 7 64bit) prints to that pc , the ONLY problem with that is I need that printer/scanner on my Windows 7 64 PC and need the other PCs to print to it , because I need the scanner and software in here.

How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed.

You have limited opportunity to attempt to create a backup of your created files.
That is what the SafeBoot or safemode appears to allow you -- at the moment.
Since the hard disk drive exhibits signs of failure or other major issues, plan
on a replacement in the near future. You may be able to get the computer to
start up in a regular full OS X (not safe mode) but consider its hours are limited.
An externally enclosed hard disk drive (with own power supply, not relying on
Mac ports to run it) is a good basic means of which to use a disk utility to make
a copy or a Clone of the current OS X. This may help retrieve an archive that
could be used along with a Time Machine backup, to restore your Mac once you
get a new hard drive installed inside.
Good luck & happy computing!
