Restore after stuck partition

How do I restore after creating a partition for windows, with Bootcamp assistance that got stuck, and no materials to loose?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
the recommended way to do this is described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15554.html
And usually no harm is done to your OSx volume when using this method.

Have you actually tried recovery mode?
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.
Or DFU mode?

My RecoveryHD disappeared after re-partitionning (system-Data/BootCamp). How to restore recoveryHD ?

RecoveryHD disappeared after re-partitioning my MacBook Pro (OS X Lion) as follows :
SYSTEM (HFS)
DATA (HFS)
BOOTCAMP (NTFS)
I want to install again RecoveryHD beside the three other partitions; for example like this :
SYSTEM
RecoveryHD
DATA
BOOTCAMP
Is-it possible ? How ?
thanks.

Unless you are intimately familiar with the HDD data structures and Unix commands, I believe the only way would be by reinstalling the OS on top of your current layout (i.e., not formatting or erasing anything previously).

Error in Restoring the HDD partition using BootCamp assist

This is regarding error in restoring the HDD partition using BootCamp assist. Yesterday I was trying to instal Windows 8.1 Pro on my Mac Mini.
Started had installing windows software using Boot Camp assist using the USB flash drive
Took the back of Windows Support software from Apple store
Did the HDD partitioning for Windows,
Then went ahead to install the windows and automatically machine restarted.
After few minutes started installing Windows... and stuck for more than 3hrs at by displaying the blue screen of Windows installation... and inactive
I had restarted the using start button, and finally I could not able to install Windows.
Then I got black screen with message ' No boot disk, please insert boot the disk and press any key to restart'
I have restarted using start button by holding 'Alt' key
Finally I could able to started machine with OS X
Now I wanted to remove the partition created above, using Boot Camp assist, but it is not able to do it. There is error message ' Error while restoring the hard disk'
Any help, how to remove this partitioning? Also in every restart I need to hold 'Alt' key to boot the machine with OS X.

if you've tried and cannot remove the partition with boot camp assistant, you'll have to open disk utility and reformat the partition there - choose mac journaled and then try to combine this partition back into your existing Mac partition

Trying to restore after getting a new hard drive. I can see the backup on the Time Capsule and on the correct date but it is Greyed out. That is it wont let me open it and restore the machine. Have tried also Migration Assistant, no luck.

At startup hold down the Command+Option/Alt+r keys until you see a globe on the screen. Then use disk utility to partition and format the drive HSF+ and then select Reinstall Mac OS X. whatever version of OS X that originally came on your system will be installed and then you can upgrade back to Mavericks.

No Booting of Windows 8.1 After GPT Partition Resizing with Easeus Partition Master 3.0

Hi there,
I have a Sony Notebook SVS13A3Z9ES with preinstalled Windows 8 which I updated to Windows 8.1. The notebook has a
250GB SSD which had the following GPT partitions
Partition 1: SONYSYS - 260MB (Sony Vaio tools, type OEM)
Partition 2: Windows RE - 1,4 GB (Type OEM)
Partition 3: EFI System Partition - 260 MB (type System)
Partition 4: MSR 128 MB (type reserved)
Partition 5: About 240 GB - (incl. Windows, Type Prime)
Partition 6: Windows Recovery 350 MB (type OEM)
Partition 7: Recovery: 28 GB - OEM -> I created instead a Recovery USB stick and have now another prime partition
I then shrinked the Windows partition to 101GB with the Easeus Partition Master 3.0 to create another partition dedicated for data only. I didn't use the Windows built-in partition tool because I still wanted to shift the part.6,
being able to only extend part.7 for the final data partition. After I activated the shrinking via the Easeus I had to restart the notebook. I immediately came obviously to the Windows RE environment :
- asking me for selecting language
- afterwards I was brought to the Option Menue
* Continue Booting -> led me back to the language selection
* Turn-of PC and
* Trouble Shooting ->
Proceeding with Troubleshooting
* Recovery and Maintenance -> tried to start VAIO Care but couldn't access it -> back to Option Menu
* Refresh PC -> led to the message
“The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again.”
It seems that the C: drive was locked after shrinkingthe partition with Easeus.
* Advanced Options ->
Proceeding with Advanced Options:
* Automatic Repair -> couldn't be executed, log file on C:. With cmd the C:\> drive can be initialized but Windows folder is not found (probably locked or hidden)
* Recovery Point Recovery -> no recovery points were detected -> back to Troubleshooting
* System Image Recovery -> no image points were detected -> back to Troubleshooting
* UEFI Firmware Settings -> led to the Vaio Care RescueMode screen which can be seen here
http://community.sony.com/t5/VAIO-Upgrade-Backup-Recovery/How-can-I-enter-bios-on-my-vaio-I-want-to-boot-from-the-cd-drive/td-p/60063
e.g. starting Windows from there led to WinRE again
* cmd window ->
Finally we have the cmd Window. Here are several postings in the internet with potential solutions but no one helped me so far. Example postings:
http://superuser.com/questions/460762/how-can-i-repair-the-windows-8-efi-bootloader
http://www.qliktips.com/2012/11/fix-windows-8-boot-issue.html
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/rebuild-bcd-store-windows.htm
http://www.winhelp.us/repair-your-computer-in-windows-8.html
I tried so far:
- chkdsk -> executed, no problems
- Bootrec /fixmbr -> executed
- Bootrec /fixboot -> executed
- Bootrec /rebuildbcd, result:
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 0
The operation completed successfully.
Restart brought me directly to language selection and Windows RE back again.
BCDBoot c:\Windows -> executed successfully but restart
back to WinRE
Then I assigned a letter to the EFI partition using diskpart v6.2.9200 and replaced bcd file with
1. method: BCDBoot c:\Windows /s z: /f ALL (z: letter of EFI partition) ->
executed successfully but restart back to WinRE
2. method: Bootrec /rebuildbcd -> executed successfully but restart back to WinRE
I had the recovery USB stick inserted but it was never used so far.
Do you still have other solution ideas restore the booting or an approach how to unlock the GPT c: drive with Windows again ? I would appreciate that very much.

Hi，
According to your description,the system was damaged by the partition tool.
Since you upgraded to Windows 8.1,you cannot use Windows 8 recovery media to repair the system.
If you have some important data in the SSD,I suggest that you move the ssd to other computer,and backup the data.
As you said,you had the recovery USB stick inserted but it was never used so far.
For this issue,please change your BOIS setting for USB.
I suggest you use your recovery USB stick to reinstall your system.

Configuring Time machine to Restore after a failer

Hi
how to Configurr Time machine to Restore after a failer ? should i just set the time machine to backup to the external hard disk that have the backup and it will automatically detect it and can use it ? what if there is another backups for another Mac's ?

Do you mean you want to recover your entire system from your TM backups? If so, see item 14 in +Frequently Asked Questions+ at the top of this forum for details.
Or do you mean, once your Mac is recovered, how to start new TM backups?
When you first boot after restoring, you may want to immediately turn Time Machine off, as it's next backup will probably be a full one -- everything it just restored will be backed-up again. You cannot prevent this, only delay it. It will of course take quite a while, and a lot of space on your TM disk, so you may wish to wait until you're sure your system is the way you want it, or even erase your TM disk with Disk Utility and let your backups start anew.
what if there is another backups for another Mac's ?
That may become a problem. TM knows which backups are for which Mac, and will not mix them. But if there's not room for the first backup of the restored Mac (see above), you have two bad choices: erase the disk, and start both Macs over again with TM; or delete all the backups for the failed Mac via the TM interface (see item 12 of the same article).
If you decide to erase the disk completely, you may want to partition it before beginning backups, so each Mac's backups have their own, exclusive partition, to prevent this hassle in the future. See item 5 for instructions if you want to do this.

Have a error code 4013. iphone 4s wont restore after update.

my iphone will not restore after update. it is stuck in recovery mode. i get error code 4013 everytime a try to restore but i cant find anything on error code 4013.

DFU mode is also good as stated above, however the instructions for DFU mode are below (please note this is not the same as recovery mode) -
Plug your device into your computer.
Turn off the device.
Hold the Home button and Power button for 10 seconds
Release the Power Button but keep holding the Home button
Keep holding the Home button until you are alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode
Make sure the device screen is blank and no logos are present, device screen should remain black.
Error 4013 is due to security software issues. Uninstall all security software completely, try again, if the issue persists I would either recommend another computer or calling AppleCare tech support at 1-800-APL-CARE (for US customers).
Note- this is even if your device worked fine prior to iOS 7 update with your security software. The change in the operating system on the device can cause compatibility issues with these other programs.
I hope this helps it worked for me!

System restore for multiple partitions

Hi guys,
This is probably an easy question, and I think I have the answer from reading other threads, but I want to make sure I have the right idea before I start reformatting things!
I want to install linux on a partition of my 500 GB HDD on a T410 currently running windows 7, and I want to create backup disks to:
a) Get a factory image on my newly sized windows partition (400 GB windows / 100 GB linux) in case I need to reformat the windows partition alone; and
b( Restore everything to the factory fresh windows only system, the way it shipped, in case I ever want it as all one windows partition again.
As I understand it (I've never played around with laptop installations before), I need to make a backup partition as soon as I turn on my new laptop, create a recovery DVD from that backup partition, and then I can delete the backup partition. But that will only work for the factory fresh 500 GB windows installation, so, after I partition the drive, I have to create a new recovery partition to create new recovery DVDs, and then delete that recovery partition.
If I'm right on all that, I should end up with two sets of recovery DVDs, no recovery partitions (because I've deleted them after making the DVDs), and I can use the set of DVDs that corresponds to the way I have the drive partitioned when I choose to reformat.
Does all that make sense, or have I missed the boat on any of it?
Thanks for taking the time to ease my fears before I mess with my new laptop's drives!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes to both questions. The factory media will give you the factory configuration, Q: and all.
You should be able to install to just about any drive.

Restore after hard drive erase

I have a G5 running Leopard and have just begun using Time Machine. My one internal hard drive has two partitions (a 120GB & a 35GB), both of which are backed up using TM. I need to reformat the hard drive to have one larger partition, so will be wiping everything out. My hope is to restore it with TM, minus the stuff that was on the smaller partition (I'll manually copy that to an external). Will TM run into problems when it tries to restore everything and finds a partition missing? Will it restore only the partition it finds (which will have the same name but larger capacity), and ignore the smaller partition, or will it give me an error and fail to do anything?

Time Machine should be backing up your two partitions to two separate folders. To restore you need to boot from the Leopard install DVD. Pick a language and choose Restore from backups in the Utilities menu. The installer will give you a choice to choose what partition you want to restore to as well as what specific Time Machine backup you wish to restore from as a part of the process. Pick the most recent backup from the partition you wish to restore. The installer won't care that the partition it is restoring to is larger than the partition Time Machine was backing up.

Error -50 when trying to restore after update

I updated my iPhone 3G to iOS 4.1 and it failed the restore, error -50, after it updated. I have done some research but am still having the same issue. I have uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, performed andactory restore after booting in "repair" mode, and multiple restarts. The phone has still not restored my data. Ideas?

I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures?

I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures? Is there anything I can do to get them back as my other phone has now been cleared. On my iCloud storage it still shows that my previous phone had all the info still?? I'm confused!

Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
Or, you can find other apps in the app store that send camera roll photos to a service like Dropbox.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

Wifi (WPA-PSK) not restored after sleep? (10.4.10)

Hi,
Has anyone else noticed that their Wifi connection is not being restored after the MacBook comes back from a sleep?
I'm using a 2006 white MacBook (Core Duo) with 10.4.10, connecting to a Cisco 877W ADSL router using WPA-PSK. Cisco firmware version is (C870-ADVSECURITYK9-M), Version 12.4(4)T7, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1), "flash:c870-advsecurityk9-mz.124-4.T7.bin" which seems to be current.
From a cold boot, there is no problem connecting to the wireless router, but after a sleep, the connection is not restored, and the router syslog shows repeated unsuccessful authentication attempts from the Macbook's MAC address.
Connecting manually to the correct network SSID doesn't resolve the problem: it just prompts for the WPA PSK keyphrase, which doesn't work if entered. Of course the correct keyphrase is already in the keychain.
As a workaround, switching the Macbook's Airport off and on again a few times eventually seems to get it working again, but it's slow and very clunky.
Can anyone else confirm this problem? It seems to have been introduced with 10.4.10, but I would like independent confirmation before reporting this to Apple, as I changed the wireless router around the same time as the 10.4.10 update appeared.
Thanks,
- Martin.
PS: I guess there are two morals to this story...
1) Always clone your hard drive to a Lacie drive with SuperDuper before installing any Apple updates - so that you can back out any buggy updates without a full reinstall.
2) Don't install any Apple updates within 2 weeks of installing other network changes - so that you can tell what's caused any issues.

The WPA auth problem still exists on a clean install of Leopard (and a full reboot is needed to clear it every time the laptop comes out of sleep) so I'll ring Apple Support and see if they can at least add it to their known issues list, in the hope of resolution later. It's quite likely that downgrading to WEP would be a workaround, but WEP is just not acceptable from a security perspective.
