Recovery will not complete. Gets stuck on Configuring screen

L505D-ES5025 Lap top. The speakers and USB ports were not working. After trying to download drivers with no success, I decide to recover the system to factory default software. It will not complete. I left it from 4:30pm yesterday to this morning and It is still stuck on that screen. I forced a shutdown and opened windows safe mode with command prom and ran CHKDSK, and it said there were no problems with the disk. Can someone help me?

I have had this problem L505D-LS5007for many months and have sent the laptop to Toshiba Repair 3 times under warranty and it kept coming back as hardware failure and that they replaced the system board. Once the hard drive was replaced as well as the system board. The last time I sent it in, it kept running for several months. I believe that the problem starts when Microsoft does an update. I am guessing that the hardware is NOT supported by Microsoft Windows 7 out of the box software and Toshiba has used their special drivers software to configure some of the non standard Windows 7 hardware for this particular laptop version. Probably to slip Windows 7 into a machine that they had in stock and needed to sell. When a Microsoft update comes along, the hardware is reconfigured improperly for the L505D-LS5007 hardware configuration. I also think that this may cause a hardware failure as the configuration is wrong and causing something to overheat. As I try to restore, the high speed fan is always on and the exhause sire from the fan is hot. I am at a loss too how to fix this problem. Same problem, no USB, no speakers cannot complete restore. Hardware? Probably due to a software problem that caused the failure. I wonder if XP 64 bit would work? Anyone try that? Of course if the hardware has failed, another OS will not help. Too bad we just happened to buy a good laptop that was not meant for Windows 7 platform.

Recovery will not complete w500p

I have recently purchased a used Iconia W500P tablet. I purchased the recovery media from the Acer store. THE RECOVERY WILL NOT COMPLETE and my husband is ready to break the tablet in half. It gets to 99% on updating system and just freezes.

I have. I did a hard shut down and let it go ahead and start installing like it had completed. It then goes through installing all devices and starts doing the 35 different installations. It make it to 27/35 in cleanup and locks up again. After another hard shutdown, it will finally start, but the touchscreen does not work. It worked before I did the restore. I just wanted to start with factory settings and get rid of the crap the previous owner had loaded on the tablet.

Iphone 4 will not complete sync, stuck on last step

Updated iPhone to iOS 5.1 the other day, now iPhone 4 will not complete the sync cycle. It gets stuck on step 7 of 7, waiting for artwork to sync. I am running this on a Windows-based machine, and while I have synced daily in the past, I have NOT synced my contacts list and the like. I do NOT want to Restore my phone at this point; I'd like to see if there's a fix out there for this problem first as I don't want to have to rekey in all my contacts. Restore is last resort. I have tried everything that has been suggested (that I can find), but I am not technologically inclined and many of the answers have to do with Mac rather than Windows. Can anyone out there help?

My iPhone is recognized by iTunes. The issue is that it will not complete its sync cycle. I have tried searching for other resolutions, but I haven't found anything similar for a Windows system, only Mac.

Illustrator CC 2014 will not open, gets stuck on loading page

My illustrator CC 2014 trial will not open.
It gets stck on the following loading page...
I have re-booted my computer, signed out of creative cloud, done all software updates but still no progress.
Any suggestions to re-boot my illustrator would be more than welcome!
Thanks,

I have given up trying to solve this problem and gone back to Illustrator CC which works just fine. Every time I try to start up CC 2014, it gets stuck at that screen you see above and each time is is a different font. Reading fonts...various font name here. Sometimes it's an English font, sometimes it's an Asian alphabet font of which I have zero use for.
Maybe someday someone will figure out the problem and reply here. Or maybe I just made a suggestion to someone else trying to solve the problem and they'll just go back to CC as well. Keep paying for CC 2014 and use an old version. Good one Adobe.

Yoga Tablet 2 Windows 8 will not boot up, stuck at a flickering screen

I was installing Lenovo's firmware updates from their page for my device and in the middle of installing the BYT Platform Drivers for Windows 8.1, the tablet started went black. Then it went into some kind of flickering screen like it was trying to turn on and off. I left it alone and the next morning it was working fine. But when I came back in the evening, it was completely turned off again. I tried to turn it on, got the Lenovo logo, then it went into flickering on/off again. It still will not boot up. Any suggestions?? Help!

"The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again."
Background:
First encountered on Restore of backup image (ATI-WD) on RAID 0 Two drive [SSD] array
Fixed: Using WINDOWS 7 Installation Disc - Repair Option
Comment:
During many WIN 8/WIN 7 installations on 4 different drives (on my own computer) MULTIBOOT (up to 7 O/S's) with BACKUP/RESTORE operations - WINDOWS 8 Installation Disk Repair has NEVER solved a startup problem
MICROSOFT should be ashamed that a feature that WORKED with WIN 7 was not brought forward to WIN 8 Installation Disk. Those that don't have one, borrow one (Using repair should not infringe any rules)
My Hobby is installing O/S's:
One drive has WIN 8.1 PRO Preview, WIN 8 PRO, WIN 8 Release Preview-64, WIN 8 Release Preview-32, WIN 8 Consumer Preview- 64, WIN 7 - 32, WIN XP - 32 [EasyBCD ver 2.2 essential]
You need to be an enthusiast to install XP with SATA AHCI (Slipstream SP3, load AHCI driver on install)
Happy computing, WIN 8 Great, WIN 8.1 definitely worth having
Additional Note:
With WIN 8 PRO and WIN 8.1 Preview Installation Disks, one is presented with:
Repair Computer/Troubleshoot/Select OS to repair (Forced to repair one O/S at a time)
Result: Diagnosing your PC/Attempting Repairs - Where it hangs with dotty circle, going nowhere... [Requiring switch OFF - no ctrl+alt+del
With the WINDOWS 7 Installation Disk - All partition entries are Recovered (Except XP) in one operation and quickly
Repeat: What are M'soft thinking and doing about this anomaly?

Macbook pro will not boot, gets stuck on great apple logo with spinning wheel.

I have a Macbook Pro A1287 13" Core2Duo Intel running Mavericks. This morning it would not boot and got stuck at the grey apple logo with the spinning wheel. I have tried:
1. Resetting PRAM
2. Resetting SMC
3. Starting in Safe Mode
4. Boting to recovery partition and verifiying and repairing both disc and permissions
Unfortunately none of these have worked.
I thought after reading other discussions that it may be the sign/start of hard drive failure and that the hard drive may be corrupt.
The strange thing is that I swapped the hard drive with another macbook pro that I use in work and it boots to the HD no problem, all my files and desktop are as expected.
So, I thought this must be a hardware issue, maybe something to do with the hard drive cable, the battery or worse the main board, but when I put my work macbook hard drive in my macbook it also boots. Other than swapping the machines, I'm not really sure what to do.
One thing to note is that I have noticed over the past few months that the clock will have re-set when booting up and that occasionally the machine will turn off with no warning and reboot.
I would have thought if it was a hard drive problem, the drive would not boot in any machine, and if it were a hardware problem then the machine would not boot with different drive in it.
Any ideas, would be appreciated.

Thanks Linc for the swift answer. From what I have read on this discussion board and from other sources the model of Macbook I have does not have a logic-board battery, but may have a soldered on capacitor.
Also, would this not cause the other drive I tried in the laptop to fail to boot also, as I said in my original post, the machine works ok with a boot drive from my work macbook pro. Just trying to eliminate all possible causes before taking it in somewhere to be looked at by a technician.

System recovery will not complete

I have a Satellite A505 S6005, I have purchased the recovery disks, however, I have tried recovering several times, One time did work but not for long, it locked up after doing window updates. So tried recover again and on the 3rd disc i keep getting error cannot load PREINST15.SWM says to try again, skip, or cancel. Tried again, same Preinst15.swm message, tried the skip button and it is just hanging on initializing the partition. please wait... but left on all night still there locked up. Shut down and turned on got:
ERROR : F3-F200-0002 please press ok and turn of the computer.
Put 1st Toshiba Recovery disc in and chose system recovery options. There is no operating System Listed so i click on load drivers with disc one everything i click on says "The specific loacation does not contain information about your hardware. So HOW do I load drivers? and get my OS system back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Latest message: tried disc 1 repair your computor. said to restart got message
File: \Boot\BCD

Thanks, Diane

Because the discs aren't working now, try holding '0' (zero) while booting to see if the recovery utility will load that way.
If that doesn't work, I'd contact customer support at (800) 457-7777.

Macbook upgrade to Snow Leopard will not complete install stuck with reboot screen, turned on off numerous times same scree

I have a Macbook with the Leopard OS, up to date. I decided to install Snow Leopard. Everything went smoothly until the window came up requesting me to restart the laptop after the install. I have done this numerous times same window keeps coming up after restart. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
R A

Thank you Watts 300. I unfortunately cannot get the Mac to reboot. I have taken the SL disk out and reinserted a number of times, however the screen remains with the restart message. Crazy.I can power it off but the same restart message keeps appearing.

Firefox update will not completely install. I have a screen capture showing it hanging at 15.8 out of 15.9 MB..

Unable to completely download the firefox upgrade. For whatever reason it is not automatically updating it. I forced it this time and at the very end the progress wheel just spins and spins. (Happens on other web pages as well, specifically yahoo mail.) I am at 15.8 of 15.9 MB. I have Windows 7 on dial-up so obviously extremely slow download. I never use IE browser. I am unable to paste the screen cap of the dialogue box into this message showing the hang @ 15.8.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Thank you for these suggestions. I will post the outcome as soon as possible.
Update: Following a restart of the computer it does now show I am up to date with FF 25.0 so I guess what was showing on the screen actually wasn't accurate, that it did complete the update. All I needed to do was restart. But the suggestions are helpful as it never occurred to me to upload it to a USB stick and then transfer it to my computer. The troubleshooting links I'm sure will be helpful in the future as well.
Thanks again. :-)

IMac will not boot up - stuck on grey logo screen after restoring

I recently attempted to restore my iMac using the time machine back up. I followed the instructions to the letter, found the back up I wanted to restore from and selected. All seemed to go well. I was presented with a screen that said something like "restore successful click restart to continue". I did this and when the machine restarted it just freezes on the opening screen with the grey apple logo and spinning wheel. I searched for advice and have since tried restoring from another back up - same problem. I have run the disk repair and all is fine. The iMac is just under a year old so hopefully still covered by manufacturer warranty. Any suggestions how I can fix before lugging the machine 35 miles to the local Apple store?

Roger,
Thanks for your advice. I have a wireless keyboard and no access to a wired one until tomorrow. Tried your instructions but nothing happened. I know the keyboard works as I can open up the mac os install disk by pressing 'c' on start up.
I was restoring from backup as I had made a mess of my music and photo folders since trying to sync up an iPad using another account. Thought it was easier to restore my mac to a week earlier when everything worked fine - so far this has backfired!!

My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs or so, then the machine shuts down and restarts.

My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs, then the machine shuts down and restarts. This sequence will repeat seemingly forever unless I shut it down manually.
I upgraded to Yosemite from Mountain Lion a couple months ago, skipping Maverick completely, and I've done any associated updates that Apple told me about. I don't recall which version of Yosemite I have, but I'm sure it is the "latest and greatest".
I've tried re-starting in Safe Mode / Safe Boot and that does the same thing as described above except without the endless restarts. Instead of restarting at some point, SafeBoot proceeds to the white screen and then it hangs until I restart it manually. (I've waited as long os 20-30 minutes with no response).
When I tried the option-command-p-r key combo I never get any chimes or other noises besides the original 1 time boot sound that you would expect to get when starting up a macbook pro.
I was using the mac quite normally (meaning I was doing work I normally do on it and there was no indication of anything wrong) immediately prior to this happening.
The machine is BootCamp(ed) with Windows 8.1 which I use from a VMWare virtual machine instead of natively so that I can have both OSes running at the same time. I also think this is unrelated to my problem. I have been using this setup for more than 2 years.
My upgrade to Yosemite was uneventful and I thought it went well and was very smooth. I don't want to lead attention away from Yosemite, but at this point my problem does not seem related to the upgrade.
Any help is appreciated.

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.

I just tried updating ITunes to the new version and it will not completely download and now I get an error message of MSVCR80

I just tried updating ITunes to the new version and it will not completely download and now I get an error message of MSVCR80. Is there a problem with the new iTunes version?
Now ITunes won't open.Help!!!

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
