Speaker problem after changing hard drive

Hi,
Yesterday I changed my powerbook's hard drive to a nice big 250Gb one and proceded to install Leopard on it. However, ever since I've changed the hard drive my speakers have been making a horrible loud noise. When I plug headphones in to the jack the noise from the speakers stops and I get perfect sound through my headphones. The noise starts as soon as I turn the powerbook on but stops for a short period during the boot sequence.
Any ideas ?
PS: I'm not 100% sure I put the screws back in the right place but I had no screws left after putting the powerbook back together.

Bienvenue!
First, try resetting your PMU: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431
If that doesn't do it, recommend you reopen the powerbook to ensure that all cables are securely attached.

Problems after changing hard drives

Hello, I have a Toshiba L655 part.no PSK1JE (if necessary also put the serial no).I changed my hard drive by putting a new SSD, but I have problems in choosing the right drivers. I tried on the site, but I downloaded the drivers are not installed, as if they were incompatible. Could you kindly link me all the drivers needed to run my notebook? So save them and next time I have them all available. Thank You.

Satellite L655-121 (PSK1JE - 03H00HIT)
Downloads here.
For the laptop to work as designed, you need to install essentially all of the drivers and utilities at that site. The order is important. So start with a fresh install of 64-bit Windows 7. You should install the Intel chipset utility followed by the ATI display driver. I would install the other Intel drivers next.
Install the Value Added Package before any other Toshiba utility.

License Problem after formating Hard Drive

Hello,
I'm french, so my english isn't very good, I'm sorry for this.
I have got a problem with my Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 license.
My Grandfather bought this software 5month ago and installed it in his computer.
He lend me the CD and I installed it in my computer too without any problems.
But Last month I had to format my Hard Drive, so I had to make a new OS installation too.
I tried to install adobe photoshop elements 8 but my License seems to be invalid.
I heard that a license can be used in only two computers. But the software is still on two computers (I just format my Hd), and the software doesn't seem to notice it.
How can I recover my license?

Thank you for your quick answer!
I entered my serial number at the installation (is that the right word for "set up"?) and there wasn't any problem.
But after I connect to the internet, this window appear
So I type my serial number (for the second time) and a red cross appear
And I can't go further.
The software may think that my key has already been registered in two computer. He think that my pc with a new OS is a different PC. But it's the same. (Sorry I'm not very clear^^).
My Key is a legal one.
I would like to remove the older key of the last os from the adobe database and used this key on my new OS.
I think, when we install an adobe software on a computer, if we change computer, we can delete it from the first one and use it on the new pc, it's not irreversible Am I right?

Folders locked in Time Machine after changing hard drive

2008 iMac running Lion 10.7.5
I have had a larger hard drive installed on my iMac and all the data migrated to the new drive.
Time Machine has done a complete new backup but I can't access any of the older backups on Time Machine from the old hard drive.
The error I get trying to open any folder in TM prior to today is (Movies is an example)
The folder “Movies” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.
My local Apple expert states that - "The backups get protected using the Hardware UUID of the hard drive. In your case, your old backups are protected using the UUID from the old hard drive. OS X is supposed to 'adopt' the old backup once it confirms that the data is the same as what is on the new drive. However, it doesn't always work."
I have since found a workaround on techsurvivors - by changing the permissions in Finder/Get Info on the Time Machine Drive ie
Open Time Machine drive in Finder
Do get info on any locked folder for specific backup date.
Unlock it but do not close the Get Info window.
Click on the black plus sign in the lower left corner of the Get Info window.
Click on the administrators or your account if it is bolded, then the Select blue button.
Click on the little arrows to select "Read and Write" for the account.
After doing this on one folder - Movies - for one backup ie June 11 2013 I was able to restore some movie files using Time Machine as normal.
I don't really want to have to repeat this for all the locked folders for every backup.
Is there an easier way to change the protection of the backups on the Time Machine drive? Or am I stuck with this workaround.
Thanks

Syncing Issue after changing Hard Drive

Hi, I believe people have been asking this same question couple times, but I couldn't really see anything that will reallyl answer my question.
So here it is.
I have replaced my laptop's hard drive which I have my iPhone sycned to.
I know I can copy everything under "iTunes" folder in "Program Files" folder, and some copule more under "Users"
Though that way I think it'll keep everything. (which is not really what I wanted)
I would like to keep only the Apps, so that way I can reset the way I organized my songs and videos.
So I was wondering, if I should copy everything under those folders, then delete all the songs.
Or is it possible to just get the Apps files back.
My problem is more concerned with that I don't want the Apps to be recynced to my iPhone as I believe that way I will probably lose my savings and settings in the game after re-syncing as a new one. (or will it?)
I hope I have made my questions cleared enough to answer.
Thanks.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Time machine back up problem after new hard drive install

After having my hard drive replaced I restored using time machine (Seagate backup drive) There are 2 users of this iMac. After restoring I seem to have all my stuff back but the other user has nothing, no pics etc. I assumed that time machine backed up everything on the computer. Is it possible that it only backed up my data? If not, how do I restore the other users data. Appreciate any help with this!

How did you restore the computer? If you used migrate it is important you prepared the computer correctly. If you already setup the user name that pre-existed on the old hard disk migrate will not work properly.. you cannot restore to the same username. So you might need to do the restore again.. (migrate but to a different location eg a USB drive and pick up the files from there).. TM should backup all users that previously were on the computer.. but how you restored will affect how it behaves now.

Can't boot OS X 10.6 dvd after changing hard drive

Hi everyone!,
I upgrade my hd on my 13" Macbook Pro 2.26 today. Now when i try to Install the DVD that came with the box called "Mac OS X Install DVD Mac os VERSION 10.6 dISC VERSION 1.0. My question is: Do i have to buy the Snow Leopard OS in order to install the OS in a new hard drive or is it something wrong on my computer? Thanks in advance!

It would be helpful to tell us what happened when you tried to install OS X. At this point I can only make broad suggestions. First, boot from the installer DVD as follows:
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Prepare your new drive as follows:
1. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
3. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
5. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
6. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.

HT201250 How to restore laptop from time capsule after replacing hard drive

How do I reload all my programs and files from a time capsule after changing hard drive? Also Apple store reloaded with Snow Leopard and not Lion. Will that be a problem? Thank you

Plug the external drive into a computer by usb or whatever box you have available..
When you say blank, is it correctly formatted.. we recommend HFS+ which is Mac OS Extended (jorrnaled)
Make sure you use GUID type disk setup not MBR if it came from PC world.
Copy the files via finder from TC to the external drive.

Problems - Recovering Library After a Hard Drive Failure

I would really appreciate any tips or help.
I keep all my music on an external drive in a folder located as H:/iTunesFolder
After a hard drive crash (my C drive not the external) I lost the itunes XML but I was able to recover it.
After getting a new C drive I reinstalled iTunes and copied my saved XML and ITL into the iTunes folder.
Now when I open iTunes about 80% of my songs have the exclamation point. When I search for the song it's always right there in the correct folder
I even checked the XML using notepad and I cannot see any reason that the files will not connect.
So what can I do, is there a way to MASS reconnect all the files since they are all in the right place with the right names or is there a way to get them connected in the first place.
Thanks a lot

The easiest way would be to put all the messages that are new since the backup you want to restore from into one or more temporary mailboxes, and export those mailboxes. Put them somewhere where they won't be overwritten by restored data. Then restore. Import the mailboxes you exported and move the messages back into place.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

MacBook Pro does not boot past apple screen after replacing hard drive

After replacing hard drive on MacBook Pro 13 inch early 2011 model, the screen only boots to the apple logo. Do I need to re-install the OS?

The problem is that the OS is not in any where else of the MacBook Pro than in the HD / SSD. If you replace the Hard Drive, then you will need to Re-install OSX into that hard drive, it's pretty easy.
1) Power up your Macbook Pro, as fast as you can press and hold the Option key (ALT). You'll see that it opens the bootable-devices you have, you'll see a Recovery partition, click it.
(If the Hard Drive contains data do the following)
2) In the menu select Disk Utility.
3) In Disk Utility go ahead and select the Hard Drive that is inside the MBP.
4) Erase the content.
(If the Hard Drive contains no data continue with the following jumping the last 3 steps).
5) Select Re-install OSX.
6) Select the Hard Drive in which you want to install it.
Follow the steps of everything else (it should take approximately 1 hour to do the whole thing).
Hope this helps!
Later.

Not solved with Blinking Folder with Question Mark after Erasing Hard Drive

Thanks for the reply, held command+R again and it is trying to pick up WiFi, but it's not picking up my network and won't accept the password even when I try to put it in manually. Any thoughts on that?
Me too had tried the command+R and failed to manually connect to my network. Can anyone help?

Well, it was solved. I shifted to other place and tried other WIFis. One of the WiFi had the 2002f problem and another was fine, so the reinstall worked smoothly eventually.
On the apple support page it says that Supported network configurations and protocols includs both WPA/WPA2, not matter what they are, but it might not be true.
