Re: Why were no system/install disks shipped with system?

Greetings Freeze
Just read your post
Have you contacted Lenovo?
You must have an identical computer to mine
The recovery DVD/ CD's costs about $60.00 CDN
I had to order it after formatting my hard drive
It sets the computer back factory new
Here's the phone # 1-800-263-2769
Make sure you have all the numbers and such
to give them when you call so's not to have to scramble
Cheers

Why were no system/install disks shipped with system?

I received a brand new Lenovo system with Windows Home Basic install from telus, and the was only an install disk for the monitor. Why was the registered copy of Vista not shipped with the system? If the HD was damaged in the shipping and I had to replace it, how would I install the operation system?
System details
Machine type/model: 9686-A12 Serial number: Lxxxxxx Operating system: Windows 6.0 Home Operating system version: 6.00
Is there a way (Other than recovery disks) that I can get this? I went to make recovery disk and it asked for over 32 CD's. This is not right. This is plain silly as I wanted to remove all the shareware software that I did not want or will never use.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
John Freeze

On some sites we get sec_error_unknown_issuer SSL error due to missing root certificate TC TrustCenter Class 2 L1 CA XI. Firefox is the only browser having this issue. Why is that certificate not preinstalled and shipped with Firefox?

Check sales.sauer-danfoss.com for details with Firefox 7.

You are not sending the TC TrustCenter Class 2 L1 CA XI intermediate certificate
*http://sales.sauer-danfoss.com/
Web servers need to send all required intermediate certificates to build the chain to build-in root certificates.
You need to install that intermediate certificate on your server.

You can test the certificate chain via a site like this:

Firefox blocks my Inbox Dollars toolbar EVERY TIME I open the browser. Why? In "plug Ins" it's "checked" with my other toolbars. What's up with this?

I have downloaded the toolbar from "Inbox Dollars," yet every time I open Firefox, it's gone! When I attempt to download it again (YEP, EVERY TIME I OPEN FIREFOX!!!) I get the little box telling me Firefox has blocked it, do I want to open it. Then I get the message that it will open after restarting the computer. This is REALLY a pain, and I don't want to go back to IE, but at least this wasn't a problem with them...

I downloaded the toolbar. When I was done using the computer, I put it to "sleep." The next time I "woke" the computer and went to Firefox, the toolbar was gone. When I downloaded the toolbar again, I got a box in the upper left hand corner of the screen stating Firefox BLOCKED the toolbar, and did I want to allow it. There was NO option to allow always-it's just a one time deal. When I shut down for the day, I expected it to remain, but no-next time I fired up firefox, NO TOOLBAR. I pulled up Inbox dollars again, clicked on download toolbar, got the box stating it's blocking the toolbar, etc, etc, etc. Unless Firefox upgrades daily, or in some cases, several times in one day, I'm going to stick with my description that the toolbar magically disappears EVERY TIME I OPEN
FIREFOX!!!
I don't profess to be any type of computer whiz, I'm totally self-taught, and it's not beyond the realm of possibility that I'm doing something wrong. I've been using Firefox for about a week, so I'd welcome any help!

HEY APPLE! What are upgrade policy plans for new systems shipping with 10.4

I just ordered a brand new Xserver, thinking that there would be some policy in place for brand new computers shipping with 10.4, to get the new version of OSX Leopard Server (without having to buy a retail copy) - however to my surprise, there is nothing currently in place.
Will there be an upgrade policy soon for users who have just ordered new computers, currently shipping with 10.4??? Or should we return recently ordered items, and stop ordering new systems until they start shipping with 10.5?

Assumptions such as this one are often a recipe for disappointment and/or for extra expenses; I've certainly learned to be cautious with these.
In this case, there is a policy that has been in place (AFAIK) since the Leopard announcement.
For details on and requirements of the Leopard upgrade policy, do read the [Mac OS X Up To Date|http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate> web site.
Those folks outside the Leopard upgrade window that are upgrading to Leopard (and that don't have a separately-purchased Right-to-Upgrade) will be purchasing and ordering the upgrade. You may end up purchasing an iLife upgrade, too — if you're using it, and not already at the current release — as Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server upgrades apparently do not include an iLife upgrade.

HT201413 I am receiving the error code (-50). The original itune songs etc were installed on a win 7 32 bit system and I have now moved to a win 7 64 bit system. Is this why I get the error code? I can access the itunes store to view my account. Any ideas

I am receiving the error code (-50) when trying to access the itunes store. The original itune songs etc were installed on a win 7 32 bit system and I have now moved to a win 7 64 bit system (same PC) and have copied the folder across. Has the switch from 32 to 64 bit caused the problem? Is this why I get the error code? I can, however, access the itunes store to view my account. Any ideas please?

Disk too slow / System overload HELP?

I'm really hoping someone can help me out with this!:
I purchased a G4 PowerBook around six months ago, with Logic Pro pre-installed. Since then, I have mixed and mastered lots of music that was recorded on a previous system and imported. I was running multiple tracks simultaneously with tons of plug-ins and everything ran smoothly on my new Mac. HOWEVER, within the last month, my playback capabilities have been severely reduced. When I try to play back even two tracks simultaneously (with just one compressor or reverb), I get the error message, "Disk too slow / System overload."
My first reaction to this problem was to check my disk space and see how much room I had left: it turns out I have over one third of my harddrive space still available. I checked my memory capabilities and they seem to be more than adequate. I bought new virus protection, too, and ran scans to see if that might make a difference, but it hasn't. I don't understand why this is happening on a system so new. ANY ADVICE YOU CAN OFFER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Many thanks.

It is generally not a good idea to run logic on the same drive that contains your audio files and samples. Most of the data involved with logic whether it be programs or individual audio files will be saved physically all over the place on your hard drive. At a certain point the actual part of the drive that reads the data will not be able to move around to all the little different audio files it needs to access for the session on top of running the program and whatever other software that is up. It is best to save all your audio files and samples to a fast external drive (7200rpm at least) otherworldcomputing.com has great drives that have high quality cases and the option to put any drive they have in stock into the case. (i would recommend seagate) If you are going to continue running your entire sessions off the internal drive then you need to keep up with your basic mac housekeeping. You should repair your permissions 2 times a month (use disk utility) You should buy a good directory repair program such as disk warrior. The directory is exactly what it sounds like. It keeps track of where everything is on the computer. If your directory is corrupt the computer will have to do an extra manual search to find what its looking for. If your directory is healthy your computer will make a straight shot to the file you are looking for.

Why is osx continuously caching external disk?

While I am -using an/any application that does- reading from an external disk, free memory continuously decreases and inactive memory increases with the same amount, which is aproximately the amount of data read. At some time, os starts paging and the system renders useless, forcing me to reboot.
Closing the application or using another usb slot has no effect, I have to eject the USB or use purge -which makes other applications sluggish-. Format of the -external drive's- partition (GUID, MBR),(HFS+, FAT32, NTFS) does not matter. All of the drives are excluded from Spotlight (are not indexed). I have
OSXFuse but that is only for Truecrypt, info about partitions show native drivers.
Why is osx continuously caching external disk, can a configuration/app/plugin cause this, is there a way to avoid this? Is there a selective purge command for external disk cache? Does anybody have this problem with external drives, and also with Mavericks?

I guess I didn't explaine that I have a healthy operating Windows 8 Boot camp partition on my hard drive. When I upgraded to Mavericks I am no long able to access the bootcamp partition from the disk icon in system preferences; the Windows 8 works fine.

On both Mini Mac and iMac 27" I am no longer able to utalize the Startup Disk icon in System Preferences; the Windows 8 on Bootcamp partition works fine if I close the Mavericks OX and select the Windows partition at bootup from the hard drive. My question is why don't the icon in System Prederences work anymore since I upgraded to Mavericks. Also, Users & Groups, Printers & Scanners icons no longer work either.

How much disk space does a typical system start up disk use?

I am trying to partition a 640 GB hard drive for my 17" MacBook Pro. I created a partition of 30GB for the "System Start Up Disk", and after installing the original Tiger OSX software, and then doing the Leopard Upgrade Install, It says that I am out of disk space on that partition.
Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
How about disk space for Applications?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Why do you want to partition that disk?
Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
When not booted from that drive (meaning, I believe, that it's not allocating swap or page space) my OS X 10.5 system uses 68.4 GB, including 10 GB for applications, 2.5 GB for the Developer folder, and 25.5 GB for user folders.

Why can't I make a disk Image??

getting Leopard tomorrow. system working great. plan to do an "upgrade installation". backed up all my files (106GB) to an external HDD. so I think I'm ready....
question is - why can't I make a disk image of my "Macintish HD"?
it starts to create the image but Disk Utility comes back and says "Unable to create disk0s2.dmg. Resource busy."
I thought it might be a good idea to do a "complete system backup" just incase something goes wrong with the "upgrade installation".
Since it didn't let me, I just dragged-n-dropped the Users folder to the external HDD, so I got my files backed up.
curious why I can't make a disk image of my WHOLE HDD. can someone enlighten me....
thanks, chris

made changes in the iDVD, don't know what I did but it worked

Why were the colour icons taken away from the finder and itunes sidebars and and replaced with grey monochrome shade icons. It doesn't make any sense.

Why were the colour icons taken away from the finder and itunes sidebars and and replaced with grey monochrome shade icons.
Have apple rectified this yet ?
It doesn't make sense to me why they changed this. Can anyone tell me the reason for the lack of colour ?
On another note, can the the sidebar be changed back to the right hand side in preview (when opening PDF's). It has always been on the right in snow leopard and tiger.
It seems to me that their has been too many unnecessary changes in the Lion operating system.
Thanks.

You'd have to ask Apple, no one here would know - we are just users like you and aren't allowed to speculate on these forums. You have quite a bit of company though - many people preferred the color.
And, I've not found a way to put the sidebar back on the right side in Preview, but maybe someone else can chime in with that.
I much prefer the sidebar a la sinistra

Volumes don't appear in startup disk pane in System Preferences

I have 10.3 on one volume of the original 120 G ATA hard drive. The machine boots fine from that. I have 9.1 and 8.5 on a volume on a 160 G hard drive I just added. Most files and applications all work fine from that drive. Only the volume with 10.3 appears in the startup disk pane in system preferences, except for a network icon. It even took several attempts to have that pane show up the Jaguar CD I put in. Why does the other volume with an OS on it not show up in that pane?
Your help is much appreciated!
Mike

Hi Mike,
"Why does the other volume with an OS on it not show up in that pane?"
Because your computer cannot boot into OS 8 or OS 9 natively and therefore does not even offer it as a boot-system: Macintosh: Some Computers Only Start Up in Mac OS X

Why did i spend $479 on a DVR security system online

why did i spend $479 on a DVR security system online? i never bought on bestbuy.com before and will not again i wanted geek squad protection when i went to pick it up they would not give it to me. the geek protection is why i buy at best buy. they said it was because of vandalism well i will be taking it back on Sunday or Monday and going to Sams club where i can get a extended warranty. i called the 1-888-best buy number THE CUSTOMER CARE LINE and the lady ask me did i receive it and i said yes she than said it was up too the store if i could get it. well i asked for the protection before i took possession well no more best buy for the man!

Hello confer669,
I appreciate you bringing us your business and for coming to us with this inquiry! I can understand your desire for Geek Squad Protection (GSP), as I get it on almost everything I buy from Best Buy. That is as good of a reason as any to come to us for your technology purchases. I am very sorry you were unable to receive that on this product.
We offer GSP for the majority of our products; however, not every type of product has the option for GSP. In this case, it wouldn’t have mattered asking the associate for the protection plan before completing the pickup or after. When looking at the product info page for an item on BestBuy.com, if it has a GSP plan available for it, you should see a “Protection & Services” tab showing you the available plans associated with that product. Also, when you click the “Add to Cart” button, a pop-up window should appear displaying the available GSP plans as well.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Respectfully,

System Profiler | Startup Disk BSD Assigned Name

This is a recurring issue, although I'm not sure whether or not it matters.
My question(s): When run from within the OS (Leopard 10.5.8) on my HD - Why do both System Profiler and Disk Utility recognize my startup/boot BSD name to be = disk2s2?
I'm curious because, when run from my Leopard Install DVD, both System Profiler & Disk Utility recognize and display what I believe is (or should be) the correct startup/boot BSD name (disk0s2).
Does it make any difference?
Regardless, I still would appreciate someone who can explain why my startup/boot BSD name in the past always has been the same "disk0s2". Whereas now it's "disk2s2".
Again, in the past I've noticed this (difference) on more than one occasion after formatting/installing my OS on a brand new hard drive. Current info listed below:
Bay 1 = WD Caviar Black 640GB, 32MB Cache <startup/boot> Name: "Earth" System Profiler BSD: disk2s2 Mount Point: /
Bay 2 = Hitachi E7K1000 1TB, 32MB Cache, Name: "Studio", System Profiler BSD: disk1s2, Mount Point: /Volumes/Studio
Bay 3 = Hitachi E7K1000 1TB, 32MB Cache, Name: "Text", System Profiler BSD: disk0s2, Mount Point: /Volumes/Text
