Recovering Quicktime Pro from a hard drive crash on a Windows based machine

How do I contact customer support for QuickTime Pro?
My registration code was activated. My computer crashed. I replaced the hard drive and upgraded the operating system from Windows Vista to Windows 7.
I need to have my registration code reset without spending more money!
Is that possible?
Thanks

Log in to the Apple Store using the same ID used in the purchase.

  • HP Simplesave external hard drive crashes/freezes HP Windows 7 machine

    Okay,
    I have a Simplesave 500GB and an HP Windows 7 64 bit laptop.
    1) On AC.  When the laptop is on AC power, attaching the external hard drive will sometimes freeze the computer, and sometimes not.  Windows must be rebooted.  The mouse can move, but the "busy" icon shows up.  
    2) No AC.  When the laptop is running on battery, attaching the external hard drive will always freeze/crash the computer.  Mouse will move, click is not available, and computer must be rebooted.
    3) Attach external before boot.  When the external hard drive is attahed before booting the laptop, everything is fine.
    Any ideas, anyone?

    Guys I had the same problem on my SimpleSave and traced the issue to swapping it to three computers--a PC Laptop running XP, my laptop running Windows 7 and a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard OS. The problem is the data is available only on the Mac but not on the Windows--but still it cannot download to the hard drive. I called the Philippine HP guys and they told me to reformat the hard disk. I told them "are you crazy? They have no other solution for me. It seems that the length of time on this thread, even HP has no solution. By the way in the Philippine PC Online Forum a lot of HP SimpleSave users have had the same problem. Could it be a product defect?

    What version of PS?  If it's CC, just reinstall the CC application manager then PS and sign in.  For an earlier version you will need to call Abobe to have you S/N reset.

  • How to recover iphoto pictures from a hard drive

    My macbook pro got water on it and it doesn't work anymore. I bought a new one, but want to recover the information from the hard drive in the old computer. I am trying to recover my iphoto pictures, but I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive. Can you help? How can I recover the pictures from my iphoto library? Thank you for your suggestions.

    Are you able to mount the old drive so you can access files on it?  From your comment "I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive"  I'm assuming you can somehow.
    Therefore copy the library to your new Mac and try to open the library from there.  If you can copy the library to you new Mac but can't open it with iPhoto open it with the Finder and follow these directions:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Is there a way to recover my info from my hard drive even if it won't power on?

    Is there a way to recover my info from my hard drive even if it won't power on? When plugged in my computer does not power on and I am only seeing a dim amber light that is blinking. Is there a way I can recover my hard drive before sendin my computer in??

    This is not something for the faint of heart. What Ogelthorpe is suggesting is that you open up your computer, remove the hard drive and then install it in a "shell" that allows you to use it as an external hard drive. This "shell" is called an enclosure. You can purchase cheap USB enclosures many places, such as at Best Buy, which has the advantage of speed if you have such a store near you. However, you can purchase better quality enclosures online, from such places as Other World Computing.
    If that sounds like more than you feel comfortable with doing, pay someone else to do the job for you. Call your local Apple Store and see what they will do for you. I'm not actually sure how they handle such issues.

  • Recovering from a hard drive crash

    I had a complete hard drive crash and lost all of the songs in my ITunes library. All the songs are on my IPod. When I reinstall ITunes, is it possible to transfer the songs from my IPod back into my computer? If so, how. I have over 12,000 songs on my IPod so I have no desire to reload all of the CD's again.

    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 to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), 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.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    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.

  • Activation: how can I recover from a hard drive crash?

    My hard drive crashed on me...  All my data is safe, but now I have to figure out how to reactivate both Lightroom 3 and CS3.
    I have rebuilt the failed machine with a new hard drive, but it was getting rather old so I also took the opportunity to purchase a new machine.  My intention is to get Lightroom and CS3 installed and registered on the new machine.  I understand that under normal circumstances I could deactivate Adobe products on the old machine, install and reactivate on the new machine.  But since I rebuilt it, the old machine doesn't actually have Lightroom and CS3 installed and activated -- no activation, so no chance to deactivate.
    I see two options.  Which is easier?
    I could reinstall both Lightroom and CS3 on the old machine, activate them, then deactivate them, then install and activate on the new machine.  If I reinstall and reactivate on the old machine, will Adobe's activation service recognize that I'm reactivating on a machine that already had Lightroom and CS3 installed (everything is the same except the hard drive)?  If not, will I be able to activate since I will be trying to activate an already-activated license?
    Alternately, I could just install on the new machine and attempt to activate there.  I expect I'll run into problems, again because I'm trying to activate with a key that was used to activate on a different system.  I expect I'll have to phone into Adobe to clear this up.
    I'm concerned that if I take the wrong path it will make it more difficult to get everything working in the end, possibly to the point where Adobe will refuse to allow me to activate my licences on my new machine.  Does anybody have any advice?
    Thanks.

    Since CS3 is not a shipping version there is NO activation needed, only the current shipping version. Install CS3 and insert the serial number.
    Do the same with LR. No install, uninstall, gymnastics needed nor phone calls to Adobe Tech Support.
    I did this when my power supply shorted and took the whole machine up in smoke, all four hard drives worth. When I got the new computer I just installed CS2 with the license and no activation needed.

  • Recover iPhoto pictures from a hard drive?

    Hello,
    My hard drive of my Macbook Pro crashed, and a day before it happened I moved ALL the pictures from my phone to iPhoto.
    All the pics I ever had with and of my dog who died are there.
    I wanted to ask if there's a way to recover them from the hard drive?
    I don't know what is wrong with the hard drive so I just wanted to ask if there's even a chance to recover them?
    They gave me back my Mac all fixed but with a new hard drive because the last one kept crashing.
    Please please answer

    Are you able to mount the old drive so you can access files on it?  From your comment "I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive"  I'm assuming you can somehow.

  • Using Data Rescue II to recover lost files from corrupt hard drive!!!

    OK I am terribly confused. I found out my MacBook Pro hard drive is corrupt and I can't even start up my computer. I was told to get Data Rescue II, another Mac, and an external hard drive.
    I have all of the above but have no idea how to make it work!! How do I access the corrupt HD on the current iMac I am using with Data Rescue and then transfer the found files to the external HD??? Please I need help asap!!

    First, if you have an external drive, then install OS X on the external drive. Boot from the external drive, install Data Rescue, then run Data Rescue and see if you are able to recover any files from the bad drive.
    You boot from the external drive by restarting the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the external drive then click on the down arrow button.
    If you do not have an external drive then you can try connecting the two computers with a FireWire cable and booting the computer with the bad drive into Target Disk Mode. Boot the good computer normally. Install Data Rescue and run it to see if you can recover anything from the bad drive. My guess is this method will not likely work, but one never knows without trying.
    BTW, have you tried the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Can't recover my system after a hard drive crash.

    Hello
    My hp DV6-3123tx's hard drive crashed because of a collision
    Steps i did:
    Got a new hard drive and fit it in.
    Using recovery DVDs tried to format it.
    Everything was good but when the system reboots to install drivers it just gets stuck at the starting page (on which hp is written). I waited for hours together but it doesn't recover from that state
    P.S: I had removed CMOS too after my hard drive crashed but restored and saved it's default settings in BIOS before the above mentioned steps.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Assuming this is just a problem with the recovery media, here's an alternative option you could try.
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
    You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same version that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • Recovered illustrator file from a hard drive will not open

    Hi,
    I just recovered  some illustrator CS2/CS3 files that were accidently deleted from a hard  drive using Recuva version 1.39.509.  The files were detected as being  in excellent shape and they are recognized as illustrator files in  windows.  But I can not open them!
    Please help!  These are months of work that could be lost!
    Dear Jacob - I dont know why the previous discussion disappeared.  I have tried all your suggestions, including following the instructions for recovering illustrator files... None of them worked!  I am at a loss!  Again, every single one of the recoverd illustrator files can not be read, are supposedly 100% healthy from the softwared used to recover them, but they do not open!  Other files such as word adn images were recovered successfully - I dont understand what is missing here!

    TG,
    As you can see on the pages mentioned in post #3, you can open the AI files as text files, and then you can see and compare the lines of code building each file.
    The first part of each file is the wrapping defining the structure, folllowed by the part defining the artwork. Some of the artwork part may be corrupted, but more likely the structure part at the beginning is (it may be as little part snipped off at the very start).
    So you can copy (at least some of) the part of code defining the artwork from the corrupted file and insert into the sound file after the initial part.
    You may compare the two files and try to work out which part to move and where, using the file parts shown on those Adobe pages as guides.
    I hope this was not too woolly.

  • T61 hard drive crashed due to Windows Updates

    I posted in this forum a few months back about my hard drive crashing as a result of a windows update.  I can't find the the thread and it really contained some useful advice/instructions on steps I could take to troubleshoot and fix my problem.  If there is no way to restore the drive, I basically want to get the data off of that hard drive.  I don't know if I will be able to recover any of the software (which is depressing), but at least the data on the drive.  Is there any way to do this?  If so, could you post the steps?  BTW, I know NOTHING about how to do this, I'm a front-end coder.  Never built or done any serious trouble-shooting of a PC. 
    (was) running Windows XP
    thanks!

    Hello,
    I wonder if the file system on the hard disk drive migth have some corruption which is preventing it from booting up as it normally should. 
    See if you can boot the computer in Safe Mode with Command Prompt by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as it powers up.  From there, try running CHKDSK C: /F /R command (which may require a reboot and will likely take some time) and see if that fixes the issue.
