New harddrive

Hi, I'm sure this was covered somewhere but I can't seem to find it, I'm new here
So my HD crashed and I just got everything back up and running but I didn't have a few things backed up like some movies and old purchased apps that I no longer had on my iphone. Is there an easy way to get these back into my itunes library? I can't figure it out.. thanks  

As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . ibooks can also be re-downloaded, as can TV shows in some countries.
Films (and not all films) can currently only be re-downloaded in the US. Have you not got a backup of them on, for example, an external drive ?

    Without a bootable backup/clone or a Time Machine backup of your previous Snow Leopard installation or a saved copy of Lion's install app, you'll have to upgrade your Leopard volume to Snow Leopard (10.6.6+) so you can waste another hour or more DLing the Lion thing again.

  • Installed a new harddrive in my macbook pro. cannot connect to hp photosmart all in one printer!!

    I, recently, installed a new hard drive on my MacBook Pro Laptop Computer (2007 model).
    Now, I cannot print out anything on my HP Photosmart  C7180 All-In-One Printer! They don't 
    seem to be connected, as the printer icon shows up on my computer,  and then, immediately, evaporates
    into thin air.
    How do I connect my HP Printer to my laptop, now that I have a new harddrive installed?

    Hello Lady22:
             When you received your printer you should have received two insulation disks one is for Windows computers and the other one is for Mac ( Apple Computer) If you have the disks please install Mac disk.  Apple computers do search and down load the parcel software so you can do basic printing commands. You need to find the program that is some where in your computer that allows you to hook up Pinters and Devices. Ounce you find this open it up then connect the printer cable to the lap top. The computer program will list HP's printers yuo need to select your printers model number. Then it will down load the drivers for it to run basic commands. Ounce they are download run a test to make sure it is working right. Contact HP's store and asked them to send you a new set of insulation disk. Your old disk may have fine dust film on them. Clean them off pior to inserting them If you use glass cleaner and fine cloth make sure they are dry off before you insert them. If you used them before maybe a speck of dirt blocked out parcel program that caused it not to install correctly . frrw

  • Hi, I have a mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro and I keep getting a POSIX error when trying to format my new harddrive. Help?

    Hi guys, one day I turned my MacBook Pro on and it was frozen at the login screen, so I did a hard shutdown and restarted it just to get a blank white screen that didn't change. So I took it to the apple store for a genius appointment and they diagnosed the problem as a failed hard drive. So I got a new hard drive and bought snow leopard installation disc since I didn't have my original installation anymore and installed the new harddrive. I go to disc utility to erase it and create a new partition on it so the Mac will recognize it as a viable option to install snow leopard on, and I get a POSIX error that says: "the operation could not be completed. Cannot allocate memory."
    So I call Apple and I'm told that it could very possible be the hard drive cable which is failing me here and not allowing the connection to the HDD. So I ordered the appropriate one on Amazon for my make and model (can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004VSZCL4/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit)
    A lot of the reviews say a new one of these cables fixed their problems with the POSIX error, so I'm wondering what you guys think of this? And if you have any other ideas that could help out?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Zach

    Zachy,
    It goes something like this...
    Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
    Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.

  • How do you install OS X on new harddrive????

    I am considering upgrading my 250 GB harddrive to a 500 GB harddrive. This is the first time I'll be changing out a HD on a laptop. All my previous macs have been desktops and was easier to install a new internal HD.
    I know that I should back up all my computer first. Done that through Time Machine. Can I just install the new harddrive and start up my mac? Or do I have to install my OS onto the new harddrive first before taking out the old one and inserting the new one?
    If that is the case what are easy step by step instructions to do that. I would hate to put a new HD in and end up not getting my Macbook to start at all.
    Help please.

    Great, that does help. I think I will do the same thing just reinstall the OS Leopard onto the new HD first then do the Migration Assistant. Thanks!
    This didn't answer my question exactly but I think I found the solution. Browsing online I was discovered that I needed to buy an inexpensive enclosure for the new 500 internal HD so I can install OS X. Then from that just simple install it into my MacBook and I'll be up and running with a bigger HD. I was so happy I was able to find an enclosure and new Western Digital SATA Internal HD for under $100.00!
    That's not actually an installation of OSX. That's a clone. It works very well. You can do the clone first, then boot externally (hold option while restarting) from the clone to make sure it's good to go. Then you can remove your original drive and install your new drive.
    The thing is which software you use to do the clone. I personally use Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • New harddrive, opportunity for organization?

    My old trusty Macbook has been crawling along for too long now, so I decided to rebuild it with a new battery, more RAM, and most pertinentily, a 500GB harddrive. Two other relevant variables: I have a music collection that I've been working on for decades in a disorganaized fashion, with some of it stored on my current (full) Macbook harddrive and some on a terabite external harddrive.
      My questions for you amazing Mac savants:
    -How do I get all my files from my current hardrive (including the operating system?) onto the new one as I swap them out? The only way I could imagine doing so is shuttling everything onto the external harddrive, and then back on to the new harddrive after it is installed..
    -Since this virgin harddrive is as of yet uncluttered, I was thinking of using this transfer as an opportunity to consolodate all my music and cleanse it of duplicates. Is there away I could give a command to import all music files from the external harddrive straight into the itunes music folder on the new harddrive, but without importing any duplicates?
      Thank you so much for your help! This is a puzzle far beyond my capabilities...
    With much appreciation,
    -Tommy

    Hi,

  • Computer harddrive failed- getting contents from ipod onto new harddrive?

    Itunes says that my ipod is synced with "another computer"- well, yes, it is synced with the hardrive that failed and no longer works.
    But Itunes does not seem to give the option of transfering the ipods contents onto the new hardrive (and os).
    I think I have 5 computers my purchased songs can be used on- I think I have used up 3 simply by reinstalling my OS over the last couple of years. But really, my songs are only on ONE computer. How do I delete the old accounts?
    And how do I transfer the contents onto my new harddrive- not just purchased songs but my entire mp3 collection that is on my ipod.?
    I did not back up my hardrive for about a year so I have about 100 songs that I never backed up- right now they exist only on my ipod.
    Thanx

    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
    An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Computer crashed, can't transfer old songs to new harddrive. Help?

    My old Dell w/ Windows XP crashed and Dell sent me a new harddrive that I installed on my computer. All my songs are on my IPOD Nano (3rd Gen) and I want to transfer the music from my Nano to the computer with the new harddrive, but when I hook up the Nano to the computer I only see a faded image of the songs and I cannot download them to the computer or play them from my computer. How do I get the songs on the Nano onto my new harddrive? All the songs were either previously purchased through the I-Tunes store or downloaded off my old CD's, there were no other sources for my music.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Could someone help me quickly, i put in new harddrive, lion is installing, but snow leopard cd is in my drive - will this cause problems?

    the harddrive on my 2008 24" imac died, i purchased a new harddrive and my husband installed it with no problem.  i had some misinformation that i would have to reinstall snow leopard and then i could upgrade to lion.
    i turned on the computer put the snow leopard installation cd in the drive, then my computer opens to the pewter gray linen looking screen and i see that i can install lion from there.  i used the disk utility and erased the new drive, and  reformatted and then i went back to the install lion screen and lion is downloading with no problem, BUT that snow leopard cd is in my drive and i can't eject it.  is it going to give me problems when the computer automatically reboots?  will it try to reboot to that cd instead of continuing with the lion install?  can i hold down my mouse to eject it when it reboots or will that mess up the installation?
    confused, and i have an hour and 33 minutes to figure it out before it downloads.  panicking here.
    any help would be appreciated!

    thank you for answering so quickly, i was really concerned that the computer would try to boot from that cd instead of continuing with the lion install.  this was too easy, i'm used to windows installation which is complicated.  i should have known apple would have made it simple for me. thanks again for the help!

  • IMac, just had repaired new Harddrive erase deverything,wheres my iPhoto n all those apps, i know the gone from hard drive but i thought they would transfer from my phone

    iMac, just had repaired new Harddrive erase deverything,wheres my iPhoto n all those apps, i know the gone from hard drive but i thought they would transfer from my phone? HELP ?

    Those Apps would not transfer from your iPhone because the iPhone apps are iOS 5 based and the iMac apps are OSX based.  They are not the same Apps.  You will need to transfer the OSX based apps over from your external hardware backup you have kept up, Or you can reinstall the OSX based apps from their original DVD's.
    Hope this helps

    how to replace a new harddrive satelite 1670cds
    do I have to remove the keyboard?
    and wath is the limit of GB

    Hi Theo,
    HDD is fest mounted on your machine and it is not easy to change it. First of all you must to remove keyboard, then display and top cover too. If you want to do it yourself be careful. If you make something wrong it can be very expensive.
    It is not easy to say what the limit of HDD is but I am pretty sure that you can use 10GB without any problems. Try to contact Toshiba Service Partner. Maybe they can give you some precise information.
    Bye

  • Time Machine backup onto a new harddrive.

    Hi! I am trying to get my backup material from Time Machine onto my new harddrive. The problem is that i do not have the installation disk for Leopard so I cannot access the utilities menu as stated on other forums of "how to's." I live in Cambodia, so do not have easy access at the moment to MAC users and help! Can someone please give me an easy explanation for getting all of my data off Time Machine onto this new one? Again, i do not have the installation disk for leopard...thanks!

    Hi thanks- so my computer originally did not come with Leopard. When my system crashed, the computer shop here installed leopard onto it. Thus the reason why i do not have the disk. I have tried the migration assistant, followed the steps, but it appears that nothing happened. so....
    1. none of my files or anything actually came off the time machine onto my new computer. ???
    2. Also- it appears that i have "lost" all itunes music... any thoughts/ideas on this? I have tried to ask the "mac" provider here in town, but he does not know either...
    hope this makes sense!
    Anything else you can help me with will be greatly appreciated!!!

  • NEED HELP!! Installed new harddrive

    HI
    I went from my 20 gig hard drive to an 80 gig. The ibook worked fine when I disconnected it and when i went to go turn the laptop on after I installed the 80gb harddrive, it doesnt seem to work. When I click the power button, the LED light only goes on for like a second.. now the ibook doesnt do anything. the old 20gb hard drive doesnt even work now. SOMEONE HELP!!
    p.s.. is there a reset button or something???
    ibook duel usb   Mac OS X (10.4)   new harddrive (no system yet, but will have 10.4)

    It would be good if you could tell us which model iBook you have. Identify it from this Apple Knowledge Base article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88039
    It could be that it is too new a model to have a physical reset button. In that case, you need to use the key combination to reset the PMU as described in this Apple Knowledge Base article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449#faq6
    For iBook (16 VRAM) and later models of iBook, there is no physical reset button.
    If the computer is on, turn it off.
    Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
    Wait 5 seconds.
    Press the Power button to restart the iBook computer.
