Starup disks needed- hp doesn't carry them anymore

HP Pavillion DV9810us - started crashing but could safe mode for a while, changing restore points did not work, eventually had the hard drive scanned externally for viruses or trogans- all clear, disk was also ok on file allocation, etc.
Did a system re-install using the recovery partition but it seemed to stumble. Initially said it was a non-genuine windows install.
booted a few times but crashed again. This time the recovery partition has a large pagesys file and very little free space and it freezes half way though the process.
I do not have separate rescue discs for this laptop, disks for other laptops with the same Vista home premium are locked their specific machine and do not boot this laptop.
HP has removed the option for recovery disks on this model's download section.
What to do other than paying for a brand new copy of windows latest dreck?

ps
i got a backup for the files but even if they are on the mmc, when camera is connected fcpx doesn't see them. if i try to import a new shoot it works!!

Thx a lot Salty. As you suggest I found other staff on support pages. I deleted AVCHD structure and kept only .mts... Now what I need to do is to convert those files with handbrake or similar tool in .mp4 or .mov to make them digest to FCPX.

Is there anywhere I can buy the snow leopard software except for eBay or amazon? The apple retail store doesn't carry it anymore

If you are biot in the US call your national Apple Helpline:

If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

I need adobe flash and apple doesn't carry it?

I need help finding a web browser since apple doesn't carry adobe flash. Thanks. Shannon

None of the alternate browsers will play flash games.
At best, they will play 70% of the videos in flash.
If your primary interest is flash games, sell your iPad and buy something else.

Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. When I boot on Recovery and run verify disk, the error doesn't come anymore. Just when I run verify disk on normal mode. Anybody has seen this before?

My Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) has been freezing out of the blue probably once every two months. I restarted on safe mode, went to Disk Utility, repaired permissions and ran "Verify Disk" and got the following:
Invalid directory item count(It should be 114483 instead of 114484)
File system check exit code is 8.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.
Rebooted on Recovery mode and ran "Verify Disk" but the message didn't appear anymore, thus not letting me to access the "Recovery HD" procedure.
When I restart normally and do the disk verification I get the same error.
Has anybody come to something similar?
Suggestions?

I never ever run a Verify Disk. I simple repair the disk drive and then the user partition(s).
And do one or two Safe Boots.
Also helpful to have two full backups: TimeMachine at least, plus a clone of your system drive and data.
Install or clone the system to an external hard drive, repair that and then boot from it, check that everything works, repair the internal drive.
You need to use Repair to TRIM an SSD.
Lots of problems with Yosemite when updating install a new OS. Always better to backup, erase, install, and then use Setup Assistant to import and restore settings and files.
Probably better to post in the MacBook Pro forum or better yet, in Yosemite forum.

Disk needs to be repaired, but I don't have the OS X installation disc.

My MacBook Pro has been slow and crashing so I verified the HD. "Disc utility stopped verifying Macintosh HD. This disk needs to be repaired". I don't have the OS X (snow leopard) disc here, I don't have any friends with Macs nearby, and I'm not near an Apple store. Is there anything I can do? I will be able to get the disk tomorrow, but I need to finish a project today.
Also, if it makes any difference, before this Pages stopped working and I couldn't get it going even after Community help, then I tried to download OS X mountain Lion and couldn't get it to complete the upload, but I couldn't find a reason why even after checking the community board's answers to other people.
Thanks for any help.

Downloading Mt Lion will only cause more problems, because a lot of present software (and hardware drivers for printers, scanners etc) you might have will not work with it.
You will not be able to get a disk today, the disk you need is only available from Apple by calling them on the phone.
You have to find out your exact Mac model, like MacBook Pro 3,1 for instance, because the free MacTracker will tell you something very important, the version of OS X that came with the machine.
You see Intel Mac's that came originally with 10.6.2 or earleir can use the 10.6.3 white retail disk (sans the free iLife) which is easy and cheaper to get. Even Amazon will carry that if your in a rush and willing to pay more.
Mac's that came with 10.6.3+ need machine specific versions that can take longer to get from Apple, could cost more and include the free iLife suite.
If your machine came with 10.5, then the 10.6.3 white retail disks will do and you can extract iLife from the 10.5 disks with Pacifist from CharelsSoft in case it comes to a reinstall.
To boot from the 10.6 disk, hold c or option key down.
However if your computer can't be repaired via the disk, you might have to backup, erase and install 10.6 again.

Two HDDs saying 'disk needs to be repaired' at same time / external drive.

Hello there,
I have had a strange problem within the last couple of days. Both my iMac which I use at the office and my MacBook Pro have had problems writing to an external FW800 drive which I work directly off [the error comes when I try and save from an application / try and copy / rename files on the drive]. The message is that either a problem occurred or that the filename is too long [it isn't]. When this happens I try and restart, but the disk causes the finder to hang.
This has happened with both machines [the iMac and MBP], and as a consequence - when I run disk utility on each machine, I get a message that the disk needs to be repaired:
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
Has anybody had similar problems? Is this a coincidence? Or would blame point to the external drive?
The drive is a Lacie Rugged 250gb FW / USB. It does get rather hot - don't know if that should affect anything.
Many thanks,
Ben

Could this problem in turn cause the internal HDD problems I've been experiencing with the iMac and the MBP after the Lacie becomes unresponsive?
Or, your internal HD problems are transferring to the Ext.?
It's hard to say. I would at least do the following basic repairs to all your hard drives.......
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
Think it might have to be returned...
Yes I would return it just cause of the heat issue alone.

Need more iMovie '11 project themes

I need more iMovie '11 project themes.Anyone know where to find some? The 8 project themes that came with iMovie '11 just isn't enough for me,
MacBook Pro OS X v10.7.5
thank you

iMovie '11 doesn't provide for 3rd party plug-ins unfortunately. So we are currently able to work only with the themes provided by Apple.
You may be able to find something suitable on the App Store, but these are mainly special effects (for example, "Clips FX for iMovie") that can be used in iMovie projects. However, they are not Themes, as such.

Disk needs to be repaired using the recovery HD

Hello,
I have received an error when running disk utility that says, "This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD." This issue has popped on a couple of times on my previous MacBooks and maybe once on my current one.
I have followed the suggested protocol (restart + command + r), and I choose disk utilities from the menu at start-up. I have both verified and repaired the disk (my HD), and disk utility says there are no errors; however, when I do a normal restart and run disk utilities again, I get the error message This disk needs to be repaired" again. I have cycled through this process and each time verify and repair disk on the Recovery HD indicates that nothing is wrong while verifying the disk on normal startup results in the same error. I computer has also been laggy.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

computer has also been laggy

Hope you are backing up anyway, but be sure you have an up to date backup. Repair permissions in Disk Utility, then restart from the Snow Leopard disk you buy (in the above link) and do an upgrade (only changes the OS), not a clean install (which wipes all data). Others on here may chime in on their thoughts on how best to do this, but I've never had trouble over 20+ years doing it this way. If you aren't having crashes and strange problems now you should be fine. Please write back or start a new thread (you'll get more help than continuing in this thread which has printing problems in the header) that has something like "Need help upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard" that will attract more help.

PNY 128 GB "This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk"

I have used three PNY 128 GB USB drives on my iMac. One works fine, one worked briefly but was never recognized again, and the third has the following problem.
New out of the box today, it was recognized immediately on the iMac (FAT32). I reformatted it to OS X Journaled with no problem.
I tried to encrypt it, but got an alert that it had to be partitioned with a GUID partition scheme first. I created 1 GUID partition for the entire disk without issue.
I then encrypted it with no problem.
When I tried to remount it, it didn't show up.
Unlike my other PNY 128 GB that was never recognized again, this drive did show up in red text in disk utility.
I verified the disk in disk utility and got the following alert "This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.'
When I run "Repair Disk," it runs then gives me the alert again "This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk." It never repairs the disk and just keeps the same loop going.
I have restarted the computer, mounted and remounted the drive numerous times and get the same result. I have a fresh install of Yosemite (due to a number of other issues with the iMac).
Can I do something or does this go back to the store tomorrow?

OWC and Amazon carry nice small external drives like following.

"Error: This disk needs to be repaired."

Greetings
I ran the disk utility on my Macbook drive and got the following message;
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
I have googled around but can't seem to find a concise way of doing this, everyone's going on about making new disk partitions?
I have my snow leopard install disk to hand, what is the simplest way to make this repair with my install disk?
Thank you!

Install OS X on a 2nd drive and use that.
Note that there are a few drawbacks to this as well as the benefits:
1. Obviously, you need a second drive. It's great to have one for backups but there are other ways to back up your important data if your budget won't stretch to include the extra drive just yet. Plus, if it comes down to space for important backups vs. space for the OS & utilities, go for the first. That's the irreplaceable stuff!
2. Any software (including the OS) installed on a hard drive is subject to possible corruption, including the kind you are trying to repair. This is not true of software running from an installer DVD, since its contents can't be altered (short of physical damage). So, if the DVD boots the Mac & its included utilities run, you can be certain you are not using corrupted or damaged items. This is not true when you run from a second hard drive.
3. Because you can make intentional or inadvertent changes or additions to the OS on a hard drive, & because some of them can adversely affect its stability, just as in #2 you cannot trust the hard drive to be as safe to use as the DVD.
4. The DVD runs everything as the root user, without the need to log in to any user account. This is beneficial because similarly to #3, some user login items can interfere with normal operation. However, running as root user is dangerous unless you know exactly what you are doing. The DVD greatly reduces this danger by limiting what you can do while running from it to installing the OS or running the included (& known uncorrupted) utilities. this is not true if you run as root user from another hard drive.
So, it is a good idea to weigh the benefits of the second drive approach against the safety of the DVD one & choose which is best for you.

Start up disk needs to be repaired by downloading new osx but will loose programs?

My startup disk needs to be repaired by installing mavericks. But if I instal I will loose my microsoft programs like word and powerpoint. I am a student and cannot afford to loose those programs because I use them for assignments. Is there something I can do where I can download maverick and not loose my microsoft or even my old adobe programs?

Reinstalling Mavericks will not cause you to lose your installed applications and your data. That being said, anytime you reinstall or upgrade your OSX, you should have an up to date backup, whether it be a clone of the current volume or Time Machine backup.

I have an iPhone 5 and a PJ205 ipico Handheld LED Personal Projector for Apple iPhone 4. I bought the apple adapter but now need the app. Apple's App Store doesn't have it anymore, where can I get one?

I have an iPhone 5 and a PJ205 ipico Handheld LED Personal Projector for Apple iPhone 4. I bought the apple adapter but now need the app. Apple's App Store doesn't have it anymore, where can I get one?

Hi Chris.
It's asking you for my apple id password. not going to give that out, sorry.
However I did try this projector on my mother in laws iphone 4 and on my old iphone 3. ipico software isn't needed. plug and play any video through standard movie player or camera saved video.
I tried on my girls iphone 5 with the adapter. The ipico software and projector doesn't work on this phone.
Hope this helped you. Better to buy a used iphone 3 or 4 and use it for video storage.
I also found that the battery on these projectors are a joke (30-60mins max). I rigged a longer lasting battery on the outside and keep it plugged in while using. This doesn't charge the phone though so I replaced the battery in the old iphone 3 and now get at least a full length movie from it. Great in bed projected onto the ceiling.
