help please iwant to restore my recovery partition
Hi,
You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below - once you get these, backup all your personal files etc to an external device and use the discs to reinstall the operating system; this will also re-create the Recovery Partiton.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

A server with the same hostname could not be found!
Hi macusers,
I saw that error on multiple threads but I found none related to my issue. So, before ignore it let's describe it:
Two MAC Mini: one early 2009 and second late 2010. Both OS 10.9.1, MacKeeper installed, 6+Gb for RAM. Both uses the same router to connect the internet. Both are LAN connected not WiFi. I even changed the DNS addresses on router using Google DNS.
On Mac 2009:
1. Safari opens pages randomly. Sometimes a website is not open but when I create a new tab and select the website from bookmarks the website is opened while in previous tab still says: Safari cannot find the server .... All those websites are used in my daily work. I am not reseting Safari unless necesary.
2. MAIL is showing online only Gmail acccount from 4 accounts. The rest of the accounts are not Gmail and appear as Offline. I restart MAIL and they appear online. I have to do that Open/Close MAIL several times a day.
3. Sharefile and oDesk Team application cannot be opened because of that error: A server with the same hostname could not be found!
4. Apple Store is displaying questions marks instead of the icons and I can barely see what softwares I have installed.
Now the beauty. Only on MAC 2009 I am experiencing those issues. The other MAC is fine. So far.
What I tried so far:
A. Reboot in SafeMode and Repair Permissions, Repair Disk. Everything OK.
B. PRAM Reset and SMC Reset.
C. Scan for viruses. No virus detected.
oDesk Team app is working fine on the other MAC and I managed to install it on Mac 2009 on Windows 7 partition as well. Is working fine.
Here are some screenshots showing you some of the errors I am picking on my side.
That one is taken while trying to connect to ShareFile. After three or four attempts it finally managed to connect.
That was a beauty. While MacKeeper was showing me that I am Offline, I was talking on Skype with a friend.
Still cannot access oDesk Team application. However, after several attempts it is logging but what is showing me is a real nightmare.
If I choose to see my contracts (though in the upper corner there is not my account) they do appear:
Any valuable entry will be highly appreciate it.
Warm regards,
Sebastian
P.S. I just remembered that I saw on a post in here related to the same error that someone from Apple asked a guy to make a test in terminal using a command line. I do it on my MAC and here is the result:
Message was edited by: sebdeaHi Grant,
Here is what I did and so far seems it is wworking.
1. I deleted oDesk and ShareFile. I removed them using MacKeeper (I found this application very usefull for uninstalling applications as MacKeeper looks for them all over the computer: cache, preferences, application support etc.) While for oDesk is simple as I can look myself for oDesk in any file names, whith ShareFile was a little tricky to amke it amnually as MacKeeper find files that contain Citrix name then ShareFile. I will not guess unless I would search the internet on how to manually remove sharefile from my system.
2. I manually delete all cahe files and folders from ~Library and ~User/Library.
3. After reboot I installed Onyx and order maintanance where I checked all its options, including but not limited to DNS caches, fonts caches, everything.
4. After I reboot computer, I went in Disk Utility and Repaired permissions.
Reboot again. Now seems to work fine. At least odesk Team is working properly. I will have a second thought for installing ShareFile.
Some romanian mac users suggested to check my router connectivity and change some DNS in it. Looks like that was also a problem on some MACs. I recall the few weeks ago I had an issue with TP Link router. My computer wasn't connected to internet, though router showed that there is internet connection. I ping router from my computer and I received answer from ping. I ping google from computer, nothing. I ping google from router, was wroking. I connected the computer directly to internet without router, was wroking. When connected back through router, nothing. I contacted the guys from TP Link and they suggested to use google DNS instead of those my ISP provided. But since then I had not experienced any issue with router and internet, until now. The DNS are still those from google.
I will keep you updated if any issues are appear again. So far, it is working perfectly as it supposed to work.
Warm regards,

The installer disc could not be found? MacBook Pro - BootCamp
I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X Lion 10.7.4. I receive the "installer disc could not be found" error in my Boot Camp Assistant (ver. 4.0.3) after I have selected the "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple" and "Install Windows 7" tasks, and selected the "Burn a copy to CD or DVD" option in the process of installing Windows on my Mac. Everything goes smoothly, including the burning onto a disc apparently, until I get to the part where I am told to select the amount of space to partition and press the "Install" button below with the disc in. I do this, but after a minute of nothing happening once I've pressed "Install", I receive the "installer disc could not be found" error. I have no idea what to do, still being somewhat new to my MacBook Pro, as well as having followed all the of the instructions. Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Also, I've already tried burning at the slowest speed (2x) and have tried both CDs and DVDs.It's not so much the Windows OS as it is what Mac OS your using to in stall Windows on.
As of Lion and Mountain Lion (10.7 and 10.8) you can only use Windows 7 (until Windows 8 comes out and Apple updates the Boot Camp drivers for it) because Boot Camp only has drivers for W7 and is not backward compatible to XP.
W7 and XP is kinda like OS-9 and OS-10, two major differences.
Boot Camp is just a series of Windows drivers Apple makes for compatibilities reasons for the hardware Apple uses.
Basically if your computer came with 10.7 installed _brand new_ your stuck with W7 and BCamp v4.0. If you have any other previous Apple OS then you can use the v3.0 version of Boot Camp and W-XP.
Depending on when the computer was made it may be able to use XP, say, if you bought a computer a week after Lion came out but they hadn't upgraded the computer hardware yet you can usually use the previous MacOS and Windows version if compatible. So you will still have the "old" hardware. Any new Mac OS that comes out will be installed on any computers sold after that time.
Also, some people have had some success installing XP on newer machines if you do a Yahoo/Google search on the internet, depending on what machine you have you. It may take quite a bit of work tho. if you really need XP still, Windows 7 Pro does have an XP emulator as part of it (similar to Rosetta for OS9?)
Hope this helps.... -
Problem installing windows - 'The installer disc could not be found'
Hello everyone,
I'd successfully partitioned my hard drive and am now trying to install windows. When I click on 'start installation' in boot camp assistant, there is a delay of 20 seconds and then a message, saying that 'the installer disc could not be found'. This is despite the windows CD showing up in the finder.
I've tried re-booting, re-starting boot camp and removing the CD, to no avail. For what it's worth I've also tried a friends windows CD just in case it is my one causing the problem.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance.
RobI had the same issue with the installer disc not being found by boot camp, I tried multiple times with no luck, tried several windows vista home basic discs and made sure they were bootable, still no luck, finally I got the trial version of parallels, installed windows that way and it worked, the interesting thing is that afterwards, I left the CD I was using in the dvd drive, shut down the computer, next time I started the laptop, it wanted to boot up with the windows installation dvd I left in the drive, I cancelled, started mac os then ran boot camp and it worked fine.
Sounds to me like software issues from apple... I hope you find the solution, all this was very frustrating... -
Problem - the drop down box says . . . The installer disc could not be found.
On my MacBook with Lion, I am attempting to create a partition and then install Windows XP Professional with service pk 2. I have successfully downloaded the Windows support from Apple to my extenal flash drive with MS-DOS (FAT32) format. However, when I go to the next step - Create a Partition for Windows - and insert the XP disk and click Install after the icon is shown on my desktop, I get a dropdown that says . . . The installer disc could not be found. Help!
Do you have a bootable Windows installer disc? If you are using Boot Camp 4.0 with your Lion system, you can only install Windows Vista or Win7, but not XP.

Boot Camp "The installer disc could not be found"
Hi,
So i'm attempting to load win7 onto my MAC. Thus far i have downloaded the .iso image off MSDN (throught my university, for all intents and purposes should be as legitimate as an off the shelf copy) and burned it to DVD as a bootable disc image. however for some reason when using Boot Camp im told "The installer disc could not be found"
There is data on the disc however when i go into the disc via finder it appears empty (no icons)... even though it is not (get info > xyzMB used)...
I know most people use parallels etc but if anyone has successfully accomplished a win7 install and knows where im going wrong it would be greatly appreciated... thanksandrewmchugh wrote:

"The installer disc could not be found." What the...?
"The installer disc could not be found. Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized."
Trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate. I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac, maxed out Core i7, RAM, and video, updated OS X Lion (11B26), and SSD. I created a partition via Boot Camp Assistant, downloaded drivers/whatnot via BC Asst. As far as I know, there is nothing wrong with the machine.
Purchased W7U through Parallels, they sent me the disc, started up BC Asst, and I get the above error message.
I can clearly see the disc in Finder. What's the deal?
(I roped myself into Parallels before I realized I didn't need it for what I wanted to do.)Ask the people that sent or you bought Windows from.
There are extra steps if you have multiple disk drives like SSD and 2nd.
Windows sees OS X and GPT on another drive and won't install but you don't get that far.
Most people want Windows as a guest OS rather than have to dual boot though.

Everything was OK - now have "The backup volume could not be found" error
Setup:
* MacBook Air
* MacBook 10.5.5
* Mac Mini with external hard drive with 2 partitions, one of which is called "Time Machine", 10.5.5
What was working:
MacBook Air and MacBook would backup with Time Machine over wireless connection to .sparseimage files on the "Time Machine" volume connected to the Mac Mini.
Change:
Had to give the MacBook Air back to my old employer, so I "merged" the MacBook Air onto the MacBook (the merge was somewhat convoluted, and unrelated to my issue I think: I used SuperDuper to copy the MacBook Air hard drive onto a new SATA notebook drive. Then I installed that drive in the MacBook. Then I used Migration Assistant to copy the user from the original MacBook SATA drive onto the new drive in the MacBook. Now I have two users on the MacBook, whereas before I had one use on each of two computers).
Symptom:
Now I cannot use Time Machine to backup the MacBook to the "Time Machine" volume. Everything I've tried causes Time Machine to briefly "prepare" the backup, then return the error "The backup volume could not be found". Things I've tried:
* Mounting the volume "Time Machine" on the MacBook, under either user, works fine - I can write, read, and delete from the volume.
* Deleting the old .sparseimage backup files from the "Time Machine" volume.
* Erasing the "Time Machine" volume with Disk Utility on the Mac Mini.
* Using "Change Disk..." in Time Machine to re-select the volume "Time Machine"
* Using "Change Disk..." in Time Machine to select None, then restarting, then re-selecting the volume "Time Machine"
* Making the volume "Time Machine" read/write by guests, then connecting to it from the MacBook as a guest instead of as an admin user.
* Repairing permissions and/or repairing disks using Disk Utility on all applicable volumes.
* Tried all of the above under both users on the MacBook (both of whom are Admin users)
None of these things have worked, they all exhibit the same symptom when I manually start a time machine, or when I wait for Time Machine to automatically start the backup.
Any ideas of what I can try next?Consider these reasons for this error...
*_"Backup Volume Could Not Be Found"_*
First, it is important to distinguish this error message from another, similar Time Machine error that states, “The backup volume could not be mounted”. This is important as the causes and cures for these two errors can be very different.
*Reselect Your Time Machine Disk*
(http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1329)
In the Finder, go up to the "Go" menu and select "Connect to Server".
Click the "Browse" button at the dialogue box.
In the Network window that opens, do you see your TM drive?
Double click it to mount the drive.
Now let's try to reselect it for Time Machine use.
Go to System Preferences --> Time Machine.
Click the "Change Disk..." button.
Select "None" and click "Stop Backing Up".
Now click "Choose Backup Disk" and reselect your drive again.
Close System Preferences and try backing-up again.
On the other hand, does your Time Machine drive NOT appear at all? Is it appearing on your desktop? If it is still connected try disconnecting the cable, waiting a few seconds and then reconnecting the cable. Does the drive mount on the desktop? Try initiating a backup now.
*Disk Fails to Wake From Sleep*
“If your external HD has a sleep function that does not wake for Time Machine backups. Time Machine will alert you that "The backup volume could not be found", and backups will not be made.” (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1337)
*3rd-Party Disk Utilities* #
Many external hard disks come with software for maintaining/monitoring hard disk activities. It may have come on a separate CD or been installed on the drive itself. If these programs have been installed they may interfere with Time Machine backups, generate erratic behavior, or cause the drive to ‘disappear’ altogether.
You may never know these applications are there as they may be running in the background. Go to System preferences --> Accounts. Select your account in the pane on the left. Click “Login Items”. Are there any items listed there that might refer to hard disk utilities. If so remove them using the “-” button at the bottom.
*Time Capsule Has a Long Name*
“When using your Time Capsule for Time Machine backups in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or later, the Time Capsule backup volume may not mount and Time Machine may not be able to back up to it. This alert may appear: "Backup volume cannot be found". This can happen if the Time Capsule disk has a long name. [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1170]
Open AirPort Utility (in /Applications/Utilities).
Click your Time Capsule's icon.
Click "Manual Setup".
Enter the password for the Time Capsule if prompted.
Click the Disks icon.
Highlight the volume name that appears under "Time Capsule Disk".
In the Name field, enter a name for the volume that is less than 27 characters long.
Click Update.
After Time Capsule restarts, on the Mac(s)using Time Machine, open Time Machine preferences and reselect the Time Capsule volume.”
Let us know if any of these suggestions help.
Cheers!

ERROR 18 : "The backup volume could not be found."
My time machine has been relatively smooth sailing...until today. After accidentally cutting power to backup drive, I power it back up, shows on desktop, shows in Time Machine...but every backup attempt fails with "The backup volume could not be found. error: 18".
I'm confused because it's found the volume in it's source panel. Any help greatly appreciated.

AE CS6 won't export MP4. "Some of the required components could not be found."
After Effects CS6 (from Production Premium) running on 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.
Processor: Intel Core i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz
AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series video card
64 Gb Corsair Ram (DDR3)
Quicktime 7.7.4 Installed
Currently attempting to export a short (2 second) video based on the predefined "H.264" preset with the only alterations being that I want the VBR 1 Pass to target 3.5Mbs (though I've changed this with no difference in outcome) and I want the video to multiplex as MP4. I immediatley get the error prompt: "Some of the required components could not be found."
*Just tried using the 3GPP multiplexer and received the same error message. If I try to use the MPEG4 format I get an "unknown exception" error.*
I've exported literally hundreds of items as H.264 with a MP4 multiplexer on this machine with current hardware and software. And now...no dice. After Effects boots correctly (or at least it seems that way) though I think it takes a little longer than it used to (not sure if the system cache just needs to be rebuilt).
After Effects CS6 has all available Adobe updates. Quicktime 7.7.4 is also up-to-date. Video Card driver is up-to-date.
What could be going on? I'd prefer to skip re-installing this program. I've had to do this numerous times already with this suite throughout the past 12 months; really getting sick of the down-time during reinstall. Worth noting that I have closed the program, closed all programs, restarted computer multiple times.
I am currently going through my Adobe program files for After Effects. I am specifically looking through the 'Support Files' directory. A couple interesting things: 1. My 'MediaIO->Codecs' directory was last updated on 11/8/2013 (perhaps an AE update??) but each of the files within said directory have a last modified date of late September. Did something get wrongfully deleted in the hypothetical update? 2. In 'Media Core plugins->Common' I again have a last modified date of 11/8/2013, but again each of my files within the common directory were last modified late September. I have many expected .prm files but NO ImporterMPEG4.prm; should I have a MPEG4 specific importer file, or does the MPEG importer file do all of the work. Also, I have no ExporterMP4 (or anything of the MPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4 flavor). Should I have one of these?
Don't know if this last paragraph helps at all but my fingers are crossed.Thanks Katrina for all your help.
I talked to an Apple tech support person. Actually, my call had to be elevated to the next support level. Joy. You are correct, there are multiple listings of the files in the error report even though there is only one copy.
The support person had me do a few things. Here is what eventually seems to fix things:
1) For the mp3's that DID copy but were listed as not found... Some files were duplicated so deleting the duplicate with the "!" was an easy fix. I found one file that I could search by song name in iTunes but could not find it by song name search on the iPod. Looking at the iPod playlist I found the file listed by the filename (not song name) and the file played fine. Then in iTunes I double clicked on the song name ("!" showing) and selected locate. I then pointed to the location on the NAS. Resync and now the name of the song on the iPod changed from filename to song name. The file was no longer listed in the error report.
2) For the m4a files that didn't sync... the problem songs appeared three times in a search in iTunes. Two of the listings showed the "!" next to the name. I deleted these two for each song that didn't sync and all transferred fine afterward.
Perhaps there is an issue with ID3 tags since I use filenames more than tags in organization. Still, I would think that iTunes would not get so confused or be a little more friendly with its errors, especially considering how long its been around.
Thanks again for your help. Looks like I have a manual way to correct this issue. -
There are about 8 songs on a playlist that are listed in the playlist library but when I try to transfer them to the playlist, it states that they can't be transferred because the original file could not be found. Then it asks, do you want to locate the file but when I try that I get a few libraries but am not sure how to locate the particular songs. Some of the songs were purchased and some were transferred from a CD. I have seen the same question asked on the help page but haven't found an answer.
Thanks.Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -
Download past purchases
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I'm really dumbfounded on this one and it's driving me bonkers!!!! On some of my music files there is a ! in front of it, if I try to play the song, I get an error message; "The song "_____" could not be used, because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
This began to happen when Chuck made playlists2burn on2CD-and then he would delete the playlist; sending all the song files into oblivion. Certain songs have a ! right next to the file name, and as I stated before, i get that error message:
"The song "_____" could not be used, because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
So I click on "Locate". No help. I get a menu with folders that say "catroot" and other folders which names I cannot remember, but I scroll PAST the file folders, & it's just a bunch of ".DLL" files.....I don't understand what any of the names of the folders mean...it's frustr8ing-coz this is my 2nd iTouch, my 1st one got stolen & I can't afford2buy my music back at this time & i NEVER before had a single problem with losing song file locations.
Is there anyone out there who has been through this frustrating game of chasing your tail?....<that's how I feel>
If so I would be ever so gr8ful if maybe someone with the knowledge would be so kind as 2 tell me how/where 2 retrieve these songs & how to put everything back where it belongs, I would be 4ever gr8ful !!!
I can't afford 2 replace the songs just like I'm unable 2 buy back my old music from my stolen iTouch....man that was an awesome collection-someday I'll be able 2 afford 2 do that & I would like 2 have all the new music that I paid 4 but cannot find when I got my new iTouch....that would just be wonderful.
I hope someone sees this post that can help me retrieve these files....losing $100.00 of iTunes is a REAL BUMMER!!!!!!
ThanQ SO very much!
[email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected] .
You can also find me on Facebook, my given name is Tiffinie Trimmer, &
that's my Facebook "handle". ThanQ 4 taking the time 2 read all of this!
hope 2 get a reply someday....I'll B checking all my emails & my Facebook, as well

Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.
Users/YOURHOMEFOLDERNAME/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music -
not sure what to add other than to repeat myself. ive lost ability to play music from my iTunes library on my computer. Everything is there but i get an error message that says '"The song (name) could not be found. Would you like to locate it? Then it gives me the option to locate or cancel. i can't do that for 3800 songs!! i have all my music in separate folders by album and all individual selections in an external hard drive. i can play from there but thats clicking on one number at a time. i lost my capability in the process of Microsoft correcting a problem with my outlook program. Why, i haven't a clue. help!!
This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
