New motherboard Cant use HP backup to reinstall windows 7

HiI damaged my motherboard in my HP pavilion P6630 I manage to get one the same (H-ALPINIA-RS780L-UATX)since then i cannot reinstall windows 7 from the reinstalation disc!Is there a way around this? I have the COA on the side of my PC.Microsoft will not allow me to download windows 7 saying the serial number is from a pre-installed version and i would need to contact the vendor?

Do you have a friend with a Windows 7 install disk, the same as what you had on your system. ex. Home premium 64bit. If you have the Windows 7 key on the COA sticker, you may use that disk to reinstall Windows although I see from your specs that Windows XP was originally installed!!

  • TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
    Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

  • I have around 1,000 photos on my old phone and I want to put them on my new phone without using a backup or iTunes, which would be the easiest way?

    I was looking for something on the net, and i run into this post. Am not sure if you have found a soulution or not, anyways, if not here are some programs that i love and they show you every thing in your iPhone:
    iFunBox, iBackupBot and DiskAid
    am sure they will help you find what you want and then you can just copy them to your computer.
    if you use Mac, iPhoto will import everything for you.

  • How do I setup a new Mini IPad using ICloud backup from my IPad 2?

    I have an ipad2 which has cloud backup - I have bought an IPad mini an d when I tried to setup using the backup from Cloud, because the Mini did not have the latest iOS, it would not allow the backup. I then used iTunes to setup and upgraded the software, but now I would like to access Cloud so that I can restore the Apps, photos, music, and data. Do I have to reset the Mini, and if so, will the upgraded iOS be retained so I can access the Cloud. Alternatively if I synch with my computer, is that going to be the most efficient method.

    Restore from iCloud Backup
    1. Erase all contents and settings (Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings)
    2. You'll be asked twice to confirm
    3. You'll see Apple logo and progress bar
    4. You'll see a big iPad logo on screen
    5. Configuration start
    6. Set language
    7. Set country
    8. Enable Location Service
    9. Select network, enter password and join network
    10. You'll be given 3 options (a) Setup as New iPad (b) Restore from iCloud Backup (c) Restore from iTune Backup
    11. Selected Restore from iCloud Backup
    12. You'll be required to enter Apple ID and Password
    13. Agree to Terms and Conditions
    14. Select Backup file
    15. You'll see progress bar
    16. Red slider will appear; slide to unlock; step #1 to #16 is fast
    17. Pre-installed apps will be restored first
    18. Message: Purchased apps and media will now be automatically downloaded
    19. You'll see a pageful of apps with Waiting/Loading/Installing
    20. When the restore process is complete, your device will restart. You should connect the device to iTunes to sync data not contained in the backup (such as music, videos, apps, and so on).

  • TS4036 cannot restore new iphone 5 using icloud backup :(

    hello everyone
    im at the end of my frustration and have no idea what else i can do
    my iphone 5 was replaced by apple 2 days ago, instead of setting the phone up as new i wanted to use my icloud backup which i had done the day before the phone was replaced
    so my problem is that everytime for the last 2 days i have tried to restore it comes back right at the end of restoration and says "server is down, please try again later" i have checked repeatedly with icloud and there are no current issues with the server being down
    anybody have any ideas on how to fix or can anybody suggest what i should do?
    thank you

  • New iMac: cant use back up from Time Capsule to start it up

    I decided to replace my 4 year old iMac with a new one.
    Today, I installed the new iMac and had hoped to build it up using the last back up on the Time Capsule from the previous iMac. It took about 5 hours to copy something across, but it seems all I have are the applications. No iTunes, photos, or documents.
    I am signed up for the iCloud, but have no idea if that is relevant.
    Thanks,
    Alan J

    Did you use Setup Assistant when it first started up, or did you create a user account, then use the Migration Assistant app later on?  If the latter, see Problems after using Migration Assistant.

  • Syncing to new MacBook Pro after sync/backup to Dell Windows XP?

    Hi,
    Back in November I bought an iTouch 4G 32GB. Love it. Awesome device. But at the time all my Macs ran OS X 10.4 and I wanted to back up the data and apps on my iTouch so I used an old Dell to do that. The version of iTunes I needed to do that did not run on OS X 10.4....but did run on XP, humm?
    Anyway, last week I bought a new 17" MacBook Pro and now I want to use that as the primary computer I use with my iTouch. But I can't see how to do that without wiping my iTouch clean!!!
    I can reload my iTune music collection, but I don't want to lose all my apps and data files I now have on my iTouch! How do I copy/backup/sync the apps FROM my iTouch TO iTunes on my new MacBook Pro with losing everything???
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Well, the apps copied from the iTouch to the MacBook Pro. BUT….
    1. Both sides (MacBook & iTouch) of the apps window in iTunes is "transparent" and nothing can be selected on either side. It looks like I now have to "sync" the two to copy the apps back to the iTouch (or to make sure they are there and the two sides match)? This scares the heck out of me, because it says "Are you are sure you want to sync all apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPod "Jeffs iPod" will be replaced with the apps from this iTunes library"…….which I think is Ok to do now, but it still makes me nervous, not doing this everyday…
    2. I do see if I click "Apps" under Library in iTunes I can select/manage the apps….but it says there are only 167. My iTouch says I have 218 apps (and 17 videos, and 61 photos, 1834 songs). Why the difference in the number of apps?? And will they be organized the same way I have them now on my iTouch? I think so, but…
    (…."Hence the information about redownloading apps." ….I am trying to avoid re-downloading (and re-organizing) a bunch of my apps, had to do some of this when I updated to iOS 4.3 and for some reason iTunes on the Dell did not copy all the apps to the Dell before updating the iOS. and then telling me there was a problem and the only way to use my iTouch again was to Restore it!! That included about 3 hours to to reload my music BTW)
    3. I never used iPhoto, but I now have a bunch of pictures and videos on my iTouch (including a bunch from the Toronto Supercross I attended Saturday) that I don't want to lose! The LAST thing I want to do to my iTouch photos is sync them right now! I can't even see how to copy the pics in my iTouch to my MacBook! So what so I do there?
    Is there a way to copy the pictures and videos on the iTouch to the MacBook before trying to do a sync, a risk wiping them out? At least I'd have copies of them if the pics and vids got wiped on the iTouch.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Which folder do I use to backup Thunderbird in Windows 8.1

    Our previous notebook(which failed)was running Windows 7 and we would copy the 'profiles'folder
    Our new notebook runs under Windows 8.1
    Which folder do we copy (cannot find 'profiles')

    Help menu (alt+H) > troubleshooting information
    Press the show folder button under profiles.
    Windows explorer is not in your profile folder.
    As the location contains a random string it is impossible to say exactly where a profile is, But this method asked Thunderbird to tell you.
    Needless to say it will default to a location below the Thunderbird folder is appdata. Appdata is a special application data folder provided by windows and hidden by default. The is a setting in windows to show hidden files and folders.

  • Got error using recovery disk to reinstall Windows 7

    I'm posting this cause maybe it could be helpful to anybody in the same situation that I was.
    After events in my Z930, I decided to reinstall my Laptop to Out-Of-Box state. In my first time I was given an error, which I couldn't understand, so I did this in the second attempt:
    1. Get in Bios and set the SATA CONTROL MODE to COMPATIBILITY
    2. Erase all SSD, data, partitions, sectors...etc ALL
    The second attempt was sucessful!

    Usually if the problem is SATA option solution should not be BIOS option change but SATA driver load before Win7 installation starts. With enabled SATA option (not compatibility mode) the HDD will work properly and with full performance.
    Your solution is just workaround and some kind of temporary solution.

  • How can I use recovery discs to reinstall Windows 7

    I have a Thinkpad X210
    I am thinking of replacing the HDD with an SSD.  I then read the instructions for the SSD install and it says that I would need to reload the Operating System.  Although I do have the laptop backed p with Acronis I realised that I did not have dics with the OS and drivers.  So I went to the Recovery utiltiy.  I have made a boot disc DVD and a data disc on 2 DVDs.
    There are no instructions as to what to do next.
    If I clone the HDD onto the SSD can I then boot from the boot disc to get to a point of reloading Windows 7.  I think that this is necessary for Win7 to change the install settings to make them appropriate for a SDD
    Before I click to buy the SSD, any help would be great
    TudorLaptop

    'afternoon.
    The 3 DVD set you made will reimage the machine to its factory-delivered state, fully activated Windows.

  • Re: after update 4.3.5 i am facing touch sensitivity problem the iphone 4 is acting funnily... corner of the screen is not responding at all  i cant use any apps, letters, numbers at the corner of the screen

    Recently i have updated my iphone 4 to latest 4.3.5 update using itunes... from the time i have updated... i am facing problems... like touch sensitivity... like cant attend the call at one swipe... cant use any applications at the corner of the screen... some times i touch message icon... it moves to next page... some times in the applications without touching the screen in the app the features get activated...    is it the problem with the software update or my iphone is having any problem with screen...
    please let me know what should i do...

    Do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B:
    Restart phone
    Reset phone
    Restore in iTunes using a backup
    Restore as a new iPhone, without using a backup.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
    Also, remove any screen protector.
    If none of the above works, there is a hardware problem that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone warranty service in your country.

  • New motherboard and battery re-setup TIME MACHINE issue

    i am trying to run a time machine backup after having gotten a new motherboard and a new battery at mac repair and this time machine prompt is confusing me. does anyone know what it means and what i should do with it?

    ai. i am feeling very stupid today or i am dealing with too many computer issues.
    i have a new motherboard which means it thinks i have a new machine. from the url it appears that /adding/ backups to the existing backups is not possible?
    i mean, the last two paragraphs here are very confusing. is my case the first case or the second case or do i have an option here?
    "If you are replacing an old Mac with a new one, and want the new one to use the backups from the old computer, click Inherit Backup.
    If you plan to continue to use your old computer, click Create New Backup to preserve the old computer’s backup history and start separate backups for the new computer.
    i am supposed to click "inherit backup history" even though "create new backup" preserves the old computer's backup history?
    for some reason i am not understanding the options here but i THINK i want to try and retain any files that may have been changed or accidentally deleted on the computer so i can go back and retrieve them (if this is possible of course).  AND if it isn't possible shouldn't i be wiping the drive clean and starting again??
    THANKS

  • I plugged my iPhone for the first time to my computer,the iTunes screen came up and asked if I wanted to register the phone as a new phone or with the backup from my iPod. By accident, I clicked on the backup from my iPod, and I lost everything.

    Hi,
    I plugged my iPhone for the first time to my computer. The iTunes screen automatically came up and asked if I wanted to register/set-up my iPhone as new phone or using the backup from my iPod. Without knowing what was going to happen, I clicked on the backup from my iPod and then I lost everything I already had in my phone: mostly contacts and pictures. Although afraid of the answer, is there a solution to retrieving the info, especially the pictures?
    Thank you!

    by any chance did you do a back up to iCloud? if not there isn't a way to retrieve lost info with out a back up.
