Reformatted everything and now I can't install Windows 7 because it needs drivers
Hello Everyone!
Okay here it is. My family got some viruses on our home laptop and I decided I would wipe the drive and reinstall windows 7. I not only reformatted the hardrive, but all other available drives as well because I was afraid the bad guys could have installed there stuff on the other areas as well. I know now that this was a mistake because I don't have any drivers or settings that came with the laptop when I purchased it. I am installing from an ISO image that I made bootable on a thumb drive. I have tried putting drivers on the same thumbdrive and on an additional thumb drive to access the drivers when the installation requests to upload drivers to continue. The drivers don't show up so I put them on a cd and tried that way but the message states no setup information found. My laptop is an HP Pavilion M6 1045dx. I am installing windows 7 64 bit. I went to HP website to get all the drivers for this laptop at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5273... . I downloaded all the drivers and they are saved as application files. I don't know if I have to do something else with them to get them to work but if I click on them they just install on my other computer so they are in application file format when I put them on the portable media.
So in short, I need the drivers to install my operating system but the drivers won't install when I am trying to install them. Any suggestions? Thank you everyone!
First, you install the Windows operating system..then you install the drivers. They're not all in the same software package...so once you've got Windows installed you'll run each of the downloaded .exe files separately.
If you're still having problems, I would just recommend ordering the HP Recovery Media. It will put your system back to the factory state without you having to do much work: https://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/mediaOrder?softwareitem=694679-001&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&pr...

My iPad has been locked because I forgot my passcode and now I can't do Restore because I need to open the iPad first. What to do?
You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset it via your computer's iTunes and restore your last backup to it

I just upgraded to 10.7.3 and now I can't install any applications.
I just upgraded to 10.7.3 and now I can't install any applications. Everything else in the OS and in applications seems to work OK. After the installers ask for the system password, they do nothing. I doesn't hang; it just won't proceed any further in the install process. I can press the back button and it seems to do that just fine. I repaired the disk permissions, but to no avail.
After I installed 10.7.3, I tried to install an updater that was listed as being recommended for Time Machine users. That was the first time I tried to launch an installer of any sort and it did the same as above. I've gathered since then that the update wasn't necessary and was already included in the 10.7.3 I loaded today.
Any hints?I'm having a similar problem after installing 10.7.3 and the Messages beta. I've unistalled Mesages with little bit of trouble.. Linc, I followed the step given in your final post any help would be appreciated.
A screenshot of my actual error. I get this error not just for Flash, but also Handbrake. I receieve th error even when I try using a programs automatic update. However, not suprisingly I do not get the message when using Apple's software update.

I have problems in the Safari browser , and I have deleted the program using the "Clean My Mac" App and now I can not install it , he say " This update requires mac ox 10.6 "
I would like to install the Safari browser on my system Lion os x 10.7.1 …..Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
terms apply.
Actually, you cannot download Snow Leopard. You downloaded a Snow Leopard updater. -
I threw up the box before installing photoshop elements 13 and now i can not installed my brand new photoshop because i do not have a serial number
When you buy software, the serial number is really what you're buying, since the software is typically downloadable. So don't throw it away in the future.
If you registered the software before you threw away your serial number, then Adobe may have a record of your purchase.
You could try chatting with a Support Agent:

I purchased an iPhone 4s few weeks ago here in Pakistan and now I can't activate it because it says the this iPhone was lost and erased. Sign is with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPhone. What do I do now? because I contacted the Owner but he's not willing to give me that ID. I mean it's really very annoying why do people are selling stolen phones? Please help me guys.
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

i changed my email address and now I can not access iCloud because the old address keeps popping up.
Is this happening on your iOS device or your Mac?
And is the iOS device or Mac signed into the old ID ("email") in Settings>iCloud (System Preferences>iCloud)? -

The recovery mode is missing , what i can do to acces again, becalisme now i can'T install the software
If you got the Mac new before July 20, 2011, call AppleCare for the original discs.
If you got the Mac new before March 15, 2010, get the 10.6 retail installer disc from the http://store.apple.com/
If you got the Mac new after July 20, 2011, boot with command-R.
If you have no backup, get a data recovery tool as the hard drive may be failing if command-R doesn't work and the aforementioned solutions don't help.
If it doesn't work but have a backup, you may need to get a new hard drive, or repair the directory with a tool such as Alsoft Disk Warrior. -
Mostly explained in the title. My dad gave me his MacBook, and I went ahead and wiped all of his stuff by using the recovery partition to wipe/reinstall OSX Lion. In the setup I used a new apple ID and now I can't get iLife apps. I'm relatively new to how apple works its purchases, so I'm not sure what's up. Is it that my computer has a unique ID set to the first apple ID used on it, and if so, how can I get this reset to my ID? I'm planning to get an iPhone 5 soon so I'd like to be able to use photo stream with iPhoto and try out Guitar Band.
Any help is much appreciated.

PS: I couldn't find a correct catagory, so I hope this is close enough. If not please tell me where I should be posting this.Contact the App store for Apple ID help. Their support link is on the right of the App store window

Dear friends
I had brought this Mac book pro 15 inch retinal display and windows 8.1 and then I left to India my home place for vacation now my problem is during flight transit at Paris CDG. For flight change. My luggage got lost and I had to leave for India. On reaching I waited for 6 days daily going to the Mumbai airport and enquiry but now I am stuck I can't work using windows software s for designing engg.
Can someone tell me a better way how can I install windows if I don't have the driver CDs?
Thanks in advance. Sb sob sob
Pl. help. ThanksReinstall OSX using the online recovery.
Then use Boot Camp Assistant. One of the Boot Camp Assistant menu items is download the Windows Support Software (drivers). Make sure you follow the Boot Camp instructions.
Or, Reinstall OSX using the online recovery.
Then install a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. Then install Windows in the virtual machine.
You can use either Boot Camp or a virtual machine to install Windows. Neither method requires any driver cds. -

Reformatted laptop and now I can't change iPhone media
I recently reformatted my laptop and now when I connect my iPhone to my laptop, I'm unable to change music and apps without erasing the previous data on my phone. What can I do to have full access to my iPhone again?
By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you formatted your hard drive, your phone sees your computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes, which in windows is under the edit menu.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in whatever programs you use for that purpose on your computer. The entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
That's as good as it gets without a backup of your itunes library.
