Recovery partition Exists, but not detected.

New here and I reset my computer reguarly. This is the second time doing it on my Sattilite C855-S5132NR Running 8. While going through the options and steps to factory restore I came across an issue. The recovery system could not find the image. But looking at the partitions on the computer I can see recovery partion is healthy and the file structure inside is still good. I tried again grabbing HDD drivers from the toshiba website and using advance settings to force it to read the partition. Its partucuarly frustrating that when i browse the file structure for the driver, I can also browse through the recovery partition. The HDD in entirety is healthy the computer for the most part clean and in good health. As far as i can tell this is a rediculous issue. Does anyone know of a way to force the detection of the recovery partition and save me some time and money?

The system recovery option means that there appears to be corruption or another issue with the recoveryt partition.
Since that is the case, then you will need to use the recovery media (USB or disk set) you have already created to effect the recovery.
If you did not create recovery media, you will need to order a usb recovery flash drive (preferred) or a recovery disk set from HP or an HP partner. The cost is usually around $30.00 USD

Airport card works in 10.1, HW test passes, but not detected at all in 10.4

Ok, Hi. I'll first admit this is my first post so go easy on me!
I just bought a used iBook G3 and it was working fine for a while until about a month ago when all kinds of weird things stared happening. Some of which those problems I solved from reading previous topics from these forums - but anyways, I'll skip all my other problems and get right to my current one.
First off here is the complete specs:
12.1" iBook G3 "dual USB series"
500MHz PPC processor
128+256MB ram = 384MB RAM
15GB hard drive (NOW 160GB HARD DRIVE!)
No Airport Card (NOW ONE HAS BEEN ADDED!)
Multiple OS's - OS9 and 10.1 were included (have original disks)
I also have a set of 10.4 Tiger CD-ROM disks
Anyways, here is basically what is happening. I bought an Airport card off eBay for my iBook. I installed it about a week ago. I booted into 10.4 Tiger and it did not detect the card. Tried to do the manual setup with the wizard and it said there was no card attached. I went into the system profiler and is said No info available under the airport section. I then booted to my "apple hardware test disk" and ran the full/extended test. It passed everything (including the Airport card) so I know that is not the problem. I then booted into OS X 10.1 and lone behold the card is detected and is working without any fooling around with! Instant wireless internet! So I know that the card is working, but I want to use it in Tiger as 10.1 is almost worthless. So I boot into Tiger again knowing that the card is working, and Tiger still does not recognize it! I even booted into OS 9 and it detected the card (although it was having some connection problems, but at least I know that it IS detecting it.)
Here is what I tried (so you can cross these suggestions off your list! lol)
I've deleted the Airport "ktext" files, etc. (can't remember the actual names of the files, but I've cleared all of those caches and still no luck.)
I've zapped PRAM
I rest NVRAM
I rest the PMU.
I did a Arcive and install of 10.4
...All of which did not help. Again, the card worked in 10.1, but 10.4 is completely blind and can't find it!
Now we are caught up to today. I was having many other odd problems and it all lead to my hard drive probably being bad. So toady I finally bit the bullet and bought a new hard drive from Best Buy. It took me forever to install it, but I did it, and it works! Now I have 160GB (make that only 128GB detected) of space. I partitioned it 4 ways as well:
"Tiger" - 80GB
"Other OS" - 30GB
"Extra Space 1" - 10GB
"Extra Space 2" - 8GB
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx- 128GB Total
So now that I have a new hard drive (that I was told would fix all of my problems because my old one was "bad" I thought I would have it working today, but no. So I put in the brand new drive, partitioned it, booted off my Tiger disk, installed it on the 80GB partition. The install went fine. So I now have 10.4 on the new drive. Seems to be a lot faster then my old drive! I did the combo updater (which I downloaded on my iMac and transfered to a flash drive and loaded on to my iBook) Ran the updater, and now it is running 10.4.11! But then I realized, the Airport card is STILL not detected in Tiger!!! - I thought the new hard drive would solve all my problems as I was staring from scratch, but no, there is still a problem!
I ran the Apple hardware test disk again, full test, and it said my Airport card is still fine. I didn't reinstall 10.1 yet (nor did I want to, I was hoping Tiger would work for what I wanted) but it seems now that I might have to go back and install 10.1 again. I don't know what it will prove - other then it will work again, but I don't want to use 10.1 so I'm not going to bother doing all that again.
Anyways, after looking into this further, I brought up the system boot log (of tiger) and found these lines interesting, and hopefully useful to you guys:
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
localhost DirectoryService[64]: Lunched version 1.8 (v346)
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
it then lists the eithernet address and then ramblers on about other nonsense. If anyone needs the other "stuff" i'll try and save the whole log file and attach it here if anyone needs it.
So could anyone please help? It seems as if i've done everything, and still can not get an answer on why it is doing this, and how to fix it!
Please Help!
Thanks you so much, and sorry for the long yet detailed message!!!

Hey, just wanted to post an update to let everyone know what I ended up doing.
Bottom line with the airport card I had is that is was "bad" - well only kind of. I got an email from a guy from a local PC repair shop. He told me he had just gotten one of those cards in and had it for sale for only $25. So I was chatting with this guy and he said it would be alright if I brought my iBook right in his shop, swap the cards and try it before I buy it. So I did so. Very nice guy and we swapped out the cards no problem. Right away it recognized his card and worked! I then downloaded the Airport update and ran it. (remember before, when I tried to update my card, after it restarted it was no longer recognized.) So we did the update with HIS card in and after it restarted, it STILL worked! It also added WPA support as well! We then booted into to Tiger (remember the old card wasn't recognized at all in tiger) and it ALSO worked in Tiger! I also had WPA support right away! So I bought the card and was all happy that it was all working again! I then figured out what the problem was with the old one.
My original card was one of the "original" originals. Then, Apple "changed" the original cards and replaced ones with "128bit" support. (this is all before the extreme cards) I then found out that the newer original cards (the one the guy just sold me) are worth MORE because these are the cards that are compatible with the newer update (128bit WEP, and WPA) The cards looked exactly the same, but the newer card has "128 Bit" printed on the bottom of the card.
SO, it ended up, I was "asking too much" out of the card I had - as the card I had did not support what I was trying for it to do. Where as the newer card I bought IS compatible with the update, and worked like a piece of cake. So all in all, the first card I had isn't "dead" it just wasn't working with what I wanted it to. So I'm going to end up selling it. Hopefully craigslist, but I will get more for it on eBay. so that is what I'm going to do. I'll just make sure to tell people this "story" so they don't try and do the same thing I did. But for someone with an even older laptop, an older OS, or an older router, this card will work just fine for them.
So thats basically it! Looks like I got everything working!

Condition record exist but not set in SO

Hi SDN Team,
I have a problem. Where in the sales order for the Discount condition type condition record where already exist in diffferent validity period.
EG
ZAJ1 discount condition type - with the same key combination with different valididity period
EG:
ZAJ1 - 27.01.2009 to 15.02.2009
ZAJ1 - 16-02-2009 to 15-03-2009
The reason is not set for the ZAJ1 condition in the Sales Order is due to the sales order was created before the pricing condition record validity datet. Sales order where created on 11.02.2009. But the condition record where valid from 16.02.2009 that is the reason the condition record was not set in the sales order.
Based on this explanation user agreed and the call was closed.
I have also explained Where ZAJ1 has condition record. but which is not set in the document. if pricing was carried out again it will set the condition for the item.
But now again the call was reopened stating that -
At the time of creating the sales order the ZAJ1Condition record exist in the period 27-01-2009 to 15-02-2009. now the primary rebate should be used by the system. Unfortunately it did not.
Based on the reopend call - i have further investigated the issue but i could not find the root cause.
Based on this when i checked the previous order where the ZAJ1 condition was well picked up with the validity period 27-01-2009 to 15-02-2009, what might be the reason the condition type was not picked up in the sales order?
Can you please let me know with your expertise in solving this issue.
Regards,
J

1)Requirement is set with 2 (itme with pricing). and calculation type is assigned with own calculation type.
2) In the pricing analysis - it shows as per below
This message tells you that the condition record exists, but has not been set in the document. If pricing was carried out again for the document item, then the condition would be set.
There are different reasons for this:
The condition was deleted manually in the item condition screen.
The condition record was created later. Please note that order processing and pricing have buffer mechanisms. This means that a newly added condition record might only be found after order processing has been left completely and then started again.
If the condition type is used for subsequent settlement (rebate), there may be subsequent updating of business volume (the agreement is is created retrospectively). The document conditions do not contain the condition record, as the condition record was not created when pricing was carried out. Updating of business volume is carried out using special functions for subsequent settlement.
When an item was added, the condition record was accessed with key fields other than change time. This could lead to different results in the requirements check at the time of adding and the change time. This can occur when modifications are made.
In billing (or when copying orders): Certain condition types were not determined in the source document (this is usually controlled by the pricing requirements). When creating the document, the document flow (TVCPF,TVCPA) is processed using a pricing type that does not redetermine these condition types, although they are supposed to be called via the requirements.
Thanks,
J

Flash Player 11 installed but not detected in IE 8 or IE 9

Windows 7 Professional 32 bit OS.
Com registration is correct as we can load shockwave into an exe.
Flash Player 11 is installed and can be detected via Firefox but not via IE 8 or IE9.
Performed all the trouble shooting steps including Active X filtering and Enabling.
Used IE Development tools including profiling and compatibility without any success.
Uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times using the Adobe uninstaller at
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html#main_Download_t he_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller.
Registry appears correct.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
No errors are appearing.

I've been trying to reproduce this for the last few weeks but so far have been unable to. If I understand you correctly, when you go to this page:
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_dynamic_multiple.html
You're seeing the alternate content (most likely prompts to update/install flash) for all 4 blocks? Do you have any idea what I could be missing and why I can't reproduce this?
Thanks,

I connect video camera to mac mini, but not detected firewire

i have mac mini. I connect a video camera to my computer via firewire. i try capture video in fcp and imovi, but firewire not detected. when i open imovy and import video, then show the massage "camera not connected". please help me.

No, nothing will show on the desktop - that only happens with card-based cameras (which are usually connected via USB).
But, make sure your camera is turned on, and in playback mode. Do you have another Firewire cable you can test, in case that cable is bad? Try also the tips in this document:

Recovery partition on T410 not working

Couldn't think of a good way to phrase that subject line. Anyways, I was trying to create 'restore' disks from the recovery partition. Seemed easy enough--I clicked it and it prompted me asking if I wanted to go ahead.. I said yes, and it started copying files.
Problem is it froze while getting the files ready to burn, so now I have TWO extra partitions on my drive: Q, the original recovery partition and "SYSTEM_DRV (S" which has four file folders on it. If I click on the original "LENOVO_RECOVERY" partiition, nothing happens and it appear to be empty...
Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi cwarner!
You can delete those partitions but make sure you know what you're getting into, because they have a purpose:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70829
If you want to "fix" your immediate problem i.e. recovery disk creation failed, use your warranty and call Lenovo support, tell them exactly what happened, and they will most likely send you a set of recovery disks.

Mac IOS Flash Player updated installed but not detected

I have repeatedly installed the new version of FlashPlayer when prompted over the past few days. My computere shows the installation as successful, but it's not working. I've visited the Adobe Troubleshooting page, and it does not detect the installation, although my finder show the program as installed. My computer is compatible with the new version, although I'm running an older IOS - Snow Leopoard ( 10.6.8) I've reinstalled several times following all directions - uninstalled old version, unblocked pop-ups, disabled fierwall.
VERY frustrating!
What do I do?
Thanks!

Snow Leopard is not iOS... iOS is an iPhone, an iPad or an iPod Touch. And there has never been a Flash Player for iOS, because Apple made iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch incompatible with Flash Player right from the start.
You probably need to do a "clean install": How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

Bootcamp partition exists, but won't start

I needed a Win exclusive program, and when I went to fire Win7 up by pressing "alt/option" during startup, Bootcamp was missing. When OS X starts, the Partition is on my desktop. I also tried using BootChamp to force into Win7, but when the computer tries to start it, I get a black screen with "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
Bootcamp appears in Disk Utility, and the Startup Disk Pane in System Preferences, but can't get it to load Windows with the same "No bootable device" message.
Any ideas?

Well it seems that is not what is happening now. Somehow your Win7 install got corrupted or damaged or removed.
The only thing you can do is reinstall Win 7.
Or you could try a Repair install by booting to the Win 7 install DVD and Run Startup Repair (I've heard you have to run it 3 times but not sure as I've never had to do it myself).

Zen Micro Photo Recognized in Vista but Not Detected in Creative Softw

How do i fix this problem? My Micro Photo is recognized in Vista. It shows up a portable device when i click "computer"? I can see all the songs on my mp3 player. The problem is the the Creative Mediasource 5. and Zencast organizer says it is not detected. These are the new versions for windows vista. Just downloaded them from the creative website.
Can i just copy and paste songs on the mp3 player from within "Computer" since it is recognized as a portable device? Which software is supposed to be the one I use for organizing music..Mediasource or Zencast??

Great Call on installing the playsforsure update. I had the exact same issue... Zen V Plus recognized by Vista, but not by Mediasource 5 organizer. I had already installed the "CMS5_MTP_PCAPP_LB_5_00_36" update from Creative's support site, which supposedly included the Playsforsure plug-in. However, when I went to Mediasource 5 help, software updates menu item... the plugin was listed as neeing to be downloaded and installed. My Zen V Plus was recognized after the reboot!!

App's windows exist but not visible

(No, this isn't a hidden app, or minimized window, or window on different screen (Mission Control))
About a month ago, windows in Microsoft Word (Office 2011) stopped being visible on the desktop, but are listed under the app's Window menu item.
This affects all windows in that app that I can generate (the initial choice window (sorta an Open File dialog), a window created by opening a Word document, & the app's preference window, Page Setup, Print, Properties, etc.).
If I choose to use the app's Minimize Window menu item, I see the window morph into the dock. If I then click on the window in the dock, it again visibly morphs onto the desktop only to disappear when it would normally show the full window.
The morphing window & minimized window appear to have the correct content.
Based on the morphing, the size of the invisible window easily fits on the monitor (either built-in or external).
The window does not show up in Application Windows (F10) or related window pickers.
This does not happen to Powerpoint or Excel, nor to any other app that I've noticed.
I logged in as another user on my computer and the Word windows work properly for that user.
Nothing relevant appears in any logs when I open a window in Word (Only log message is "Microsoft Word[2296]: GetScaledBatteryInfo is unimplemented and will be removed soon. Please stop using it.")
I know of nothing special that happened at the time I first noticed this, but I don't run Word daily. (Since the problem arose, I've been using Pages to view Word files.)
I've tried repairing permissions. I've also done a complete removal of Office 2011 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768), which includes deleting all the ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft* files, ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data directory, the /Application/Office 2011/ directory, the /Library/Application Support/Microsoft directory, Microsoft fonts, and more, with multiple reboots. After a full reinstall, the problem remains. This would seem to rule out Word itself or its preferences.
As a s/w developer (non-Mac usually), I'm pretty good at chasing down similar bugs, but I've not been able to find anything similar by searching here or by Googling.
Since it works for the other user, the problem likely is in my preferences somewhere, but not in the MS Word or Office preferences (since those were completely removed & replaced).
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi William,
Did you eventually find a solution to this issue, because I'm pretty sure I'm encountering exactly the same problem since a couple of days!
