Recovery CD/DVD does NOT reinstall original factory settings...
I have a ThinkPad X60S that has a recovery CD set that you can create/burn upon initial startup. The discs installs ALL the OE software that came with the system automatically or selectively. THIS INCLUDES THE X60S SERVICE PARTITION, so you can get a brand new hard drive and return to original factory state without any issues.
Now with the 3000 K100, I am trying to put a new hard drive in but using the discs that came with the system, it only installs VISTA. The other disc is for device drivers. The other OE software and the LENOVO TOOLS are not even there. Moreover, the SERVICE PARTITION is NOT restored on the new drive.
Question: What happens if you have to replace the original drive if it dies?
you wont get a service partition on the new drive even if you use rescue and recover.service partitions are only provided with factory
installed hard disks..it might not be a problem after all u got the recovery discs isnt it?
Cheers and regards,

Yesterday, I got asked by my 2nd generation Apple TV if I wanted to update download and install the new software update. I clicked "Yes" and the download and installation process began. Nothing out of the ordinary happened and when the installation completed the Apple TV automatically rebooted itself, which is what has happened with previous software updates.
Alas, after reboot, the only thing that appeared on screen was an old iTunes logo (the one with the CD in the background) and what looked like a USB cable. I went online and found out that other people had been experiencing similar problems with the newly released Apple TV 6.0 update and that they had also ended up with the same image on their screen.
As it turns out, this image apparently means that you need to restore your Apple TV to factory settings by hooking it up to your computer using a micro-USB cable and then using iTunes to restore it in a way analogous to restoring an iPhone via iTunes.
I followed all of the instructions to the letter such as disconnecting my Apple TV from all cables including the power cord and then hooking it up to my computer with the micro-USB cable. I opened iTunes and absolutely nothing happened. The Apple TV does not appear as a device so I am not able to restore it.
I have attempted rebooting my computer and leaving my Apple TV disconnected for a while before hooking it up to my computer since it apparently has an internal baterry that keeps a charge for about 30 seconds after being disconnected. Nothing has worked.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
System configuration:
Apple TV 2nd generation running update 5.3
iTunes version 11.1 (126)
Mac OS X 10.8.5 on an Intel Core 2 DuoDid you follow the instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367
Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.
Also some microUSB leads don't seem to work - try another if you can. Disconnect superfluous USB device/hubs too if possible.

I am trying to install a brand new WD 500 gb sata internal hd in my macbook pro. the original install dvd does not recognise the hd. all hardware is ok. any help?
For some reason OS X disks (whatever edition or flavors) that are supplied with Apple products only seem to contain a limited knowledge of available hard drives on the market at the time of thier publishing. This (rather opportunistically) creates a "Best Before" stale-OS X-software-copy situation where upgrading to or replacing a defective internal SATA hard drive with a newer, better or larger one is a largely hit and miss affair.
If you buy the latest and greatest disk drive available for any older Mac you are likely to run into unresolvable problems making a clean re-install of your own, old edition or flavor of OS X onto any newer or larger hard drive since the OEM (gray) "OS X Install Disks" that Apple supply with retail products seem to contain only time-sensitive lists/mapings of then-known target drives that the Drive Management Tool in the then-published old "Installer Software" will support.
Presumably new (colorful "X") retail versions of OS X (10.whatever.whatever) also contain time-limited Installers with limited knowledge of and adaptability to/compatability with a limited number of old hard drives then kicking-around on the market.
This is especially a problem nowadays since the countless "puny old" hard drives that have been on the market are largely obsolete in a few months time, as manufacturers continue to produce larger and cheaper units, discontinuing older puny products... So if your drive fails you need an exact old (or similar familial) replacement drive for your "backup copy of OS X" to do a fresh, clean OS X re-install. Otherwise you need to purchase a new retail version of OS X, since yours is now effectively obsolete. Purchasing an old, puny drive to re-install your version.flavor of OS X to avoid buying a new version of OS X is a rather false economy.
If you still have a working old hard drive with your old polluted 10.version.flavor of OS X still working on it you apparently must clone it with Time Machine or the newest version of Disk Utility (disk image copying) to most newer, larger drives, and a clean reinstall to such new hard drives is not possible. -

The system was back up but the drive is wiped from the partial recovery. I suspect the recovery image was invalid from the factory. Now what? -

My Iphone 4 crashed and I lost my entire contact list. I restored it to original factory settings but in trying to restore my data from my laptop via Itunes.. this was the feedback: Itunes could not restore the Iphone Dr Johnny Siu Chong because the Iphone refused the request.
I cannot get help from Apple support because i am being asked to supply the serial number which is stored on the phone and I cannot restore my data in the first place. I am reluctant to "Set up as a new Iphone" since I don't know whether if I do I may not then be able to access my data from Itunes...
Please advise what to do. I did not see any tutorials on Youtube to help me with this.
I look forward to an early response.Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

E-mail to the recovery user name does not come
e-mail to the recovery user name does not come
what i do?
I'm sorry for the mistakes i am polishThe employer should be setting its Macs up with corporate Apple IDs and corporate volume licesnses for the software. Individual employees personal IDs do not provide the Licensed Copy End User License Agreement that the Macs need in a business evironment. Your personal Apple ID only carries a consumer license and by law any of your own apps that you install on the Mac will it is in your control would need to be removed when you turn the Mac back over to the company.
When a Mac is first set up the original Apple ID is always going to be associated with that Mac, its installed version of OS X and the preinstalled iLife apps. And only that ID can update the iLife apps if they were properly accepted into the Apple ID*. But you should be able to sign out of the active Apple ID in the Store menu of both the iTunes App and the Mac App Store app, then sign into your Apple ID to install any of your own content that you wish to have on the Mac.
*If the iLife apps were not correctly accepted into the setup Apple ID, then they cannot be updated and no one can buy them again on that Mac with any Apple ID. -
Windows 8.1 Setup DVD does not see SSD
Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 Setup DVD does not see Samsung SSD 840 Pro so cannot install Windows 8.1. The same SSD disk currently does have Windows 8 Enterprise and runs fine on the same laptop. Checked the Dell BIOS does see the SSD. Loaded the
latest drivers from the Dell website but did not help. Tried changing the BIOS settings from SSD to ACHI. When in setup did the SHIFT+F10 to run the DISKPART clean the partitions.
How do I troubleshoot why the Windows 8.1 Enterprise setup disc cannot see the SSD?Hi,
According to your description, I would like to confirm if you can see SSD under the Diskpart.
If you can see the SSD under the Diskpart,I think it is related to the installation DVD.
I suggest we use a new installation DVD to test it.
Also, you can create a bootable USB flash drive, and then use the USB flash drive to install Windows.
Keep post.
Regards,
Kelvin hsu

having problems with adobe premiere 8 freezing. cannot playback my videos. also, when i try to burn to DVD, does not recognize burner. losing my work constantly cause of freezes and crashes.
sunchick116
Thanks for the reply.
Anytime I am getting too far ahead, then let me know and we can work together on putting the essentials together for this troubleshooting.
From your screenshot, you have a Windows 7 apparently 64 bit computer, lots of RAM. That computer would be great for Premiere Elements 11 Windows.
But Premiere Elements 8 is only a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of your 64 bit system. So all that RAM is excessive in a 32 bit system with its limitation of max supported installed RAM being 4 GB (of which 3 GB or less of that are available).
So, the freezing and such could be explained by limited resources depending how much you have in the project when the freezing occurs and what formats are involved - like AVCHD. The burner not being recognized by Premiere Elements is probably another matter.
Let us start here....another place where you could be getting hit on the resource side of things....
1. Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer features in version 8 are notorious for grabbing system resources. If you have them enabled, that could account for much of the program freezing. So, please make sure they are not selected.
a. Background Rendering. In the Premiere Elements 8 workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General, and make sure there is no check mark next to Background Rendering option.
b. AutoAnalzyer. In the Premiere Elements workspace, click on the Organizer tab in the row below the selected Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and uncheck all the option under that.
To get back to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace go to File Menu/Exit.
For most of us, Premiere Elements 8 was unusable without the 8.0.1 Update. Did you install that? Have you ever worked successfully with your Premiere Elements 8 on the computer where it is now? And, was that with or without the 8.0.1 Update?
Let us stop here and see how we are doing.
Lots of other factors to get into including the burner recognition one.
Thanks for looking at the troubleshooting comments.

Jibin.Sure. Tried two ways:
a)
1. Delete existing System-PSE
2. Import SAPSYS.PSE
3. System-PSE remains empty (red x)
Leaving STRUST and calling it again: No System-PSE
b)
1. Create new System-PSE ok - everything is in place
2. Import needed SAPSYS.PSE
3. Certificate field is populated with that data
Leaving STRUST and calling it again: The imported SAPSYS.PSE data is gone and System-PSE is coming up with newly created certificate data
Example:

DVD does not eject
This worked for me. I had the same problem: a DVD that was inserted by my teenager (who knows how to insert a DVD) would not read and also not eject the normal way. I found that I had to completely shut down (after I had logged out of my user id) and restart while holding down the eject key the whole time. Just holding down the roller ball on the mouse while I did a restart did not do it.
