System Recovery Help (Please!) :)

Hello,
I started a System Restore on my future mother-in-law's Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5063 tonight, but after it had actually begun the process, I got an error message (was not quick enough to write it down, I believe it started with something like F-10______?) and the computer automatically restarted itself. I was then greeted with the wonderful "Boot Manager Missing" message.
Using my fiancé's computer, I did some forum searching and tried the following:
1.) Created a Windows Repair Disc using fiancé's HP desktop. Got the laptop to boot and the recovery options window to pop up... but, unfortunately, attempts to use the System Restore were met only by a (very frustrating!) "Contact HP Customer Support" screen. Which obviously does not help me when trying to restore his mother's Toshiba laptop ;p
2.) Downloaded Recovery Disc .iso's for both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows (as I am not -entirely- sure which her system was using, although I believe it was 64). Again, got the machine to boot just fine... but this time the System Restore option was not even included in the list of recovery options.
I am pretty much out of ideas at this point, and would appreciate any suggestions
Thanks,
Laura

Good start, Laura. We call that place WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment).
Tell us about what happens when you use the first entry there, Startup Repair. Sometimes you need to run it more than once.
If that doesn't fix things, at the command prompt run this (and then maybe you need Startup Repair again).
chkdsk c: /r

Don't know what this is all about. Hope you didn't mess up Windows.

HP Mini 110 System Recovery Help

I was uninstalling programs put on my hp mini 110 (Windows XP). I deleted the Roxio back up software by accident. Now when I start the computer I get a screen stating windows did not start properly and im given the options of start in Safe Mode, Safe mode for Networking, Safe Mode for Bios, Start from Last Known or Start Normally. If I start in any of the Safe Modes I get a string of information and then nothing. If I start in the last know I get a flicker on the screen and then back to the original screen and if I start normally it seems like XP is opening and then the screen goes black. I can't do anything else from there. I understand I most likely deleted important software. I purchased the HP System Recovery disk (no usb available) and I have an external disk drive hooked up but the computer does not start the cd. Any help would be great. I tried to contact HP and since my netbook is out of warranty I have to pay $59. They won't even help me understand how to use the disks I just purchased from them.

Hi Rosen23185,
You will have to change the Boot Order and make the CD/DVD Drive as the first boot device in the same. Please find the instructions in the following document.
Configuring the Boot Order in the System BIOS: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c00364979&lang=en&lc=en&product=406...
Once the first boot device is CD/DVD Drive, please insert the Recovery CD in the Drive and Restart your Notebook. Upon the next Restart, the Notebook should start booting from the CD/DVD Drive.
Please let me know the results so that I can try helping you further. Thank you.

Macbook Pro Recovery Help please!!!

I have a Macbook pro i am trying to restore. I have been trying since i got up yesterday. I backed up all my stuff on an external drive, restarted, went into disk utilities, erased Macintosh HD, quit disk utilities, went into OS X Mavericks recovery. It downloaded all my stuff and it went to install. Got a huge Yellow triangle with a "!" in it. Said it couldn't install and to contact the software manufacturer. Tried it again many times, but to no avail. Restarted it and got a folder with a question mark in it, blinking over and over. Restarted again and it went into Internet recovery. Got stuck a few times, but finally downloaded. Now it starts up as Mountain Lion Recovery instead of mavericks. (Was shipped with ML) I have tried to download many times but it starts off as the download being 5H 30Min then gets to 2H 13M and then shoots up to 9H 59Min, then up to 12H 56Min. My internet is not that slow. My connection is (as of typing this) 4.91 Down and 0.68 Up. What just happened is i tried it again. Recovery download got until 2H 18Min and went back up to over 6H. I then quit it, and restarted. Reset the PRam and booted up. Now internet Recovery is my only option. I put in my WiFi password and now it has the loading bar that isn't moving, and shows no time limit. I have restored this same mac before on the same network and it restored without a problem. I do not have disks, nor do I have the OS on a flashdrive. I have googled for hours on end trying to find answers to no avail. Help please!

The nearest Apple Store is 6 hours away from me and it ran out of warranty a month ago (of course ) so i don't know what to do. Just checked my computer and i got the 5010F error. Yay..

Windows 7 System recovery help

Im stuck on a scrren that just show s a green check that points to a hand taking out a disc then it shows a picture with 3 other discs
I used the system recovery disc that said used this first then when it was done loading files it showed me it

Hello sunnysom,
I see you are having problems using the recovery discs provided by HP on your computer. I have some suggestions that may help resolve your problem.
I would suggest trying the recovery again with the discs first. Here is a link to HP steps to running a recovery using discs. Try the steps in the link and see if this helps.
If you are still unable to use the discs I suggest testing the hardware on the computer. Here is a link to test the hard drive on the computer. If that test passes you can test the memory (RAM) as well. Here is a link showing the steps to do that as well.
Let me know if this help or if you get any error messages.

Had to do system recovery Help!

My computer kept shutting down on its own I had to do system recovery and lost everything on my computer. I reloaded the Itunes software and of course all my music is now gone. It took me forever to have my music on itunes just like I wanted and most of my music was from CD's I own. How can I just import all the music from my Iphone into Itunes. I don't want to loose it from my phone also and I can't do it from Itunes because I did not buy music directly from itunes.

Shouldnt matter if you didnt buy the songs directly from itunes or not. You will just have to reload everything back to your computer from the cds. It impossible with the iphone to get them off and back into the computer. Its possible with an ipod if every media file was transfered from your computer to the ipod. Even if you downloaded illegally is still possible to reload back into itunes.
I suggest buying or borrowing a large hard drive. I havent come across a problem with taking your previousely purchased cds and not being able to load them back into the computer because of itunes. It is tediouse but there no restrictions when you sync back up.

Error code 0xc0000001 after system recovery attempt--PLEASE HELP--

HI,
I have a Toshiba Satellite C855-S5194 Part number: PSCBLU-066003.
To give you the whole story it begins with my screen going blank while watching Netflix while attatched to a HD tv thru the HDMI. Then the screen went blu and and error code came up. Error code 0xc0000001 and it stated you needed to use recovery tools on your instrallation media.
First I tried using the recovery steps by accessing it in preboot. That did not work.
So I then ordered a 16GB USB recovery flsh drive. I followed the instructions and I was in the recovery mode off the USB. During the process the screen stated the laptop will restart a bunch of times during the process, which it did. Then after it restarted the last time, the screen went blue with an error code 0xc0000001 again. What can I do? Does this mean my hard drive is corrupt? Any insight would be appreciated.
Also, one last thing. If I try to straight up boot from the USB flash drive it seems to boot but then after the Toshiba welcom logo the screen goes blank and stays that way.

How long were you able to watch this movie before it crashed?
Now is it everytime you boot up, you get the BSOD 0xc0000001 ?
Can you start up in SAFE MODE?

802.1x System Profile HELP, Please!!!

Server : Xserve, 10.8.5
Clients : Mix, 10.6.8, 10.8.5
To who ever may be able to help me,
I am the tech director for a school district and manage about 800 Apple laptops ranging from old MacBooks to the latest MacBook Pro. We utilize the LDAP service on our Apple server for authentication via 802.1x. Our entire district uses Aruba Network controllers and access points to privde wireless to our clients. For termination we use PEAP and EAP-GTC. Please don't ask me why we are using those methods, it was set up like that before I started and I am not very familiar with all these protocols and authentication methods. All of our students have network only accounts, nothing is ever saved to the client devices, so they require the system profile to be configured in order for the wireless to be active at the log-in window. I have preconfigured each of our 10.6 clients to authenticate this way with a preconfigured user name and password stored in a profile that I exported from the network preferences, because you used to be able to do that.
Now I am sitting on a pile of newly shipped MacBookPros that, guess what, have 10.8 on them and I am dealing with profiles made by profile manager. Obviously I am here because this is not going well.
I have created a profile in Profile Manager that has all the information I can provide.
Interface is set to WiFi
SSID is set properly
It is a hidden network, so that box is checked
Auto Join is checked
I have no Proxy
Security type is WPA2
I have checked, to Use as a log in window configuration
PEAP is checked
Password is entered
I have also added the certificate that the wireless network asks for when manually connecting
Additionally, I have looked at the profile in Text Edit and confirmed all of the key values are correct.
The profile will successfully install but it will never connect to the network, it will just sit there authenticating. I can manually connect just fine using the same user name and password I used in the profile. I am stuck. If anyone has any tips for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

I am experiencing exactly the same issue in my environment. Same setup: System-level profile configured via Casper, with 802.1x authentication at the loginwindow enabled. Users are able to log in using directory based accounts, but the connection then drops and the profile seems to disappear completely! It is no longer visible in the profiles preference pane, and the network will not function again until the user selects the SSID manually and reauthenticates.
Did you ever find a resolution for this issue? Please help!

Stuck in Recovery - Help please

Just recieved ipod nano today.. connected to itunes (was fine), updated software (was fine). Now i connect my ipod to my PC and itunes displays
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must Restore this iPod before it can be used with itunes."
Clicked ok then clicked restore.
After restoring ipod message is displayed.
"iPod has been restored to its factory settings. Please leave it connected and it will appear in itunes source bar."
- Ipod is Left connected -
itunes then displays the original message -
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must Restore this iPod before it can be used with itunes."
It keeps going round in circles.
Any ideas????

Try assigning your iPod a different drive letter. This recurrent message about "iTunes has deteced an iPod..." could possibly be caused by Windows drive letter confusion.
Follow these instructions:
Log off of any other users on your computer (and disconnect any iPods that are currently connected to your computer, as well)
Then, put your iPod into Disk Mode, then follow these steps:
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, connect your iPod to the computer.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod drive letter / Changing drive letter
I hope that helps you.

System recovery-help!

This is my first post here. It took me a while to get to this point. I am new to mac, bear with me. I did some routine maintenance on my mac last night and this morning all my Quicken info is messed up. How do I restore my system to undo what I did?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
In the future always backup your data before doing so-called "maintenance." Mac OS X does its own maintenance, and any maintenance suggested by others who don't know what they are doing can lead to a worse shape system than one that has no manual "maintenance", except for software such as Macjanitor and Anacron. All others are suspect for causing more problems than good. Two utilities which may recover your information are Subrosasoft Filesalvage, and Prosoft Data Rescue II. But you can't use your computer until you get the data recovery software and an external hard disk as big as your internal that is Firewire to recover to. My FAQ* on backing up should help you in the future:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Quicken provides also a function to Save a copy of your account information in one of its menus. Use this frequently, in case the main Quicken file gets corrupted.
Good luck!

6220 Classic System Error - help please!

Hello,
I'm just back from holiday and am trying to change the time back on my 6220 Classic to UK time but if I try and open the Clock option from the Office folder, it comes up with "System Error" and won't let me open the menu. Nor will it open the "Date and Time" option from the Settings folder. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do to fix this issue?
Thank you in anticipation!

ok back up all your data 1st of all
then try the following
Soft Reset will clear pending errors and bring your mobile to an initial state by restoring Factory setting. To operate this function on your mobile, the shortcut is: *#7380#
It may happen that despite you have restored your mobile to factory setting, the error still exist. In this case, it is recommended that you opt for Hard reset
Enter the code: *#7370# and press Yes to confirm initialization.
if you are asked for a code its 0000
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Photo recovery help PLEASE !

Hello forum.
Have a clients iPod here - they somehow managed to loose 1300+ photos. I used Phoenix Steller data recovery and saved them ( or something ) to a folder on a PC. Now what !?
They look only like icons - you cannot view them no matter what program I use to attempt to view them. I tried just dumping them back to the photo folder on the iPod thinkng that well of course they came from the iPod and that should work. NOT !
Sure could use some help here. I prefer not to try doing anything with iTunes yet since I think that may make matters worse.
Yes - you can email me with any thoughts / comments.

Really sorry to hear that. I guess there is nothing you can do about the data lost except to restore it using iTunes. If you have previously synced it with iTunes you would get all the music/video/photos back,

Life type won't let me use two system fonts help please.
