Using Win7 Recovery DVDs to bring Satellite L850-1C9 to "Out of the Box"?

Hi,
I am trying to use the recovery DVDs for my Satellite L850-1C9, PSKDLE, to return my HD to the original condition.
Even though the hidden partition was there, I always got errors, for instance F3-F200-0002.
But this was not the only one.
I am at present time, wiping the HD to give it the appearance of being a replacement HD, that takes about 5hours.
I am unable to identify any online docs about how to correctly use the DVDs.
Can anyone give me a link as I appear to be using the wrong search argument on my Android Tablet.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards
Andy

Hi
If you would use the Recovery DVD for system recovering, the hidden partition isnt very important in such case. Why? Because booting from the Recovery DVD would start the recovery process and would format the HDD and delete all partitions.
During this recovery process, the deleted partition would be created again.
The question is now: why does the error message appear?
It could be related to Recovery DVD issue. Did you already recover the notebook using the Recovery disk in the past? If its the first time trying to use these recovery disks then probably the disks have not been created properly.
At the other hand it could be possible that your HDD malfunctions and therefore the recovery process interrupts.
So from my point of few you need to check both cases.

Re: Is it possible to completely recover VistaOS using only Recovery DVD?

Hidden WinRE partition was deleted by mistake but I still got the original Recovery DVD for my A200.
Is it possible to completely recover VistaOS without the WinRE partition, using only Recovery DVD?

Of course.
The Toshiba Recovery CD was designed to recover the notebook.
Using the recovery CD you will get the factory settings.
But note; the Toshiba recovery CD formats the whole HDD and erases the partitions from the HDD.

Factory Recovery (Out of The Box Recovery) not working properly

I've got a Satellite L505D-G6000, 4 months out of warranty, go figure right, running windows 7 home pro. I've had an issue that I needed to get it back to "Out of the box" condition again. I ran the Recovery as laid out in the instructions "Press the "0" key while starting the computer" and get through the majority of the recovery, then it reboots and goes into System configuration. Now it hangs on the configuration part and if it's interupted it disables the "Admin" login and will not recognize any USB devices OR the built in buttons on the laptop.
Any suggestions?

Torloc,
When you say it disabled the Admin login, you mean that the administrative account in Windows is disabled? Have you tried doing the recovery a second time? Maybe it just had a problem the time.
doug5769 and mmack012000,
You both say you have the same problem. Can you be a little more specific? Are you using the same laptop model? Where exactly do you run into the problem when doing the recovery?
I'd just like to try to find out what exactly is happening.
If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, you can try contacting support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 457-7777.

How do I start over and bring my MacBook Pro to a brand new out of the box state?

I have a MacBook Pro with Retinal Display purchased in June 2012. I have backed up once using Time Machine. How do I put it back to the brand new just purchased out of the box state? Any ideas? I have done this with windows computers, but never a Mac.

To restore your MacBook to factory settings, you have to use Internet Recovery. Follow the steps:
1. Press Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting, and open Disk Utility.
2. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. This can take hours because your computer has to download OS X from the App Store.
After restoring the computer to factory settings, open App Store > Purchases to download iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand

Out of the Box MacBook Pro does not burn DVD DL

Hi
My new out of the Box MacBook Pro 2,8 Ghz, 500 GB HD does not burn DVD DL.
Its telling me something like "Servo Error" in Toast 10.0.4 and also iTunes with a big playlist in DataDVD burn mode does not get the job of burning a DVD DL done.
It makes me soooo sad.
I had problems with my DVD Drive on my Power Book G4 12", also on my MacBook 2,16 Ghz even after a repair it would not burn DVD DL.
So what to do?

Hi
Thanks for the tips.
Well since its a absolutely new MacBook Pro it should burn DL as stated on the Box. So I call the store and they will sent me a new one.That worked very nice and smoothly, so here on costumer care apple is on the very big side.
I hope the new one will burn em right away.
You know: Why do they put such bad drives in their so nicely build MacBooks? I don't get it at all. Maybe we are short before Bluray and so they putting inn all the old drives.... Who knows.
Its well know that apple is not using very good drives in their computers.
Na ja so ist es halt.
Keep the good work up!

Can I use my iPhone 6 out of the box to take photos, before syncing it with my computer?

I will be receiving a new iPhone 6 at the beginning an upcoming trip and would like to use the great camera on it to take photos. The problem is I won't have my computer with me during this trip. Will I be able to use my iPhone right out of the box to take photos, and when I sync my iPhone for the first time will I risk losing those photos? Thank you for the help.

Will I be able to use my iPhone right out of the box to take photos
Once you have activated the iPhone with a sim inserted
when I sync my iPhone for the first time will I risk losing those photos?
Yes unless you transfer Photos off iOPS device to your PC/Mac

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.
I can't access these images except to go into the applications.
Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive. I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space. Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use.
As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb. Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
-select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
-move aperture library to live on external drive
-import iphoto library into aperture library
-eliminate dups but maintain organization
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
-live happily ever after
Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
-move aperture library to live on external drive
Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit Aperture
2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Referenced - relocate your Masters first.
These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
-import iphoto library into aperture library
FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
You can't. Every photo is in a Project. They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app you've purchased.
The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto/ Aperture.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto/ Aperture not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser

Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number. Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard? Do I have to buy an Apple Keyboard to get it to work right out of the box?

Is this a normal USB keyboard or is there anything specialized about it? Does this keyboard require you to install any special software to use it on a Windows box? Or is it usually a plug & play keyboard?
Normally if a Mac does not recognize a keyboard it asks you to press certain keys to identify the keyboard. What is happening on screen with this keyboard? What serial number are you referring to?

12GB already used on out-of-the-box refurb MBP?

Hi-
Just a quick question--
My refurbished 15-inch MBP (2.2 Ghz, 120 GB hard disk) just arrived. I took it out of the box, started up and registered, and was planning to shift things from my old Powerbook G4 in Target disk mode, etc, but haven't done ANYTHING else yet. Out of curiosity I clicked on About this Mac, and saw that my HD has a capacity of 111.47 GB (I understand that "120 GB" probably means about 111 GB in reality), but that there is only 99.05 GB available, and 12.42 GB already used. Is that how much is needed for the basic Tiger (10.4.10) and applications that came preloaded on my MBP? If not, any ideas why 12.42 already used? Should I do an erase-and-install with Tiger OS? Do you think Apple didn't fully clean or erase the disk?
Thanks,
Samantha

When Apple says "120 GB hard drive" they mean 120 billion bytes. But strictly speaking, 1 GB is 10243 bytes, not 10003 bytes.
So when Finder says "111.47 GB capacity", it means 111.47 gigabytes, which is 111.47×10243=119.69 billion bytes. So your question is actually what happened to the missing 296 MB (or 0.31 billion bytes), and the answer is one of rounding error, disk overhead, or an extra partition on the hard drive used for booting. (The Boot camp forum has comments about an "extra" 300MB partition on the hard drive.)
Unfortunately, the misleading "x GB hard drive" label for what is really an x÷1.0243 GB drive has become an industry standard, and is always stated in the fine print.

Malware on New Helix (out of the box) / Need Help Accessing Recovery Partition

Hi,
I'm working on a problem for my folks. My dad got my mom a brand spanking new Helix (not exactly a cheap laptop).
It came with two pieces of malware:
1. Windows 8
2. AstroMenda
Since I can't do anything about #1 and #2 is a serious PITA and the machine is new out of the box (really), I thought I'd just restore the machine from the recovery partition.
However, I cannot seem to get the machine to boot to recovery mode.
Enter doesn't seem to do anything (that is the only keystroke suggested by the splash screen).
F12 gets me a boot menu but I don't see any recovery options. Selecting the Windows Boot Manager or the Hard Drive itself results in Windows 8 booting.
F1 gets me the BIOS. Though I imagine I might be able to set the recovery partition (which #?) to the #1 boot option, I absolutely should not have to do that.
Shift doesn't do anything (suggested elsewhere on these forums).
F2 doesn't do anything.
F11 doesn't do anything.
Esc doesn't do anything.
My older lenovo T61p had the ThinkVantage. I always thought that was pretty goofy but now I'm wishing I had a ThinkVantage.
BTW, Lenovo Support was USELESS. They told me to return the machine and transferred me to returns but since my folks were on vacation when it arrived, we are outside the 30 day window, returns wouldn't do an exchange. They opened a case with Customer Advocacy (never heard of that) but told me I wouldn't hear anything for 3-5 business days and there is no number, website, or email you can call to check your "Customer Advocacy" claim. That sounds a lot like GFY.

I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes... "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play. How can I get this message to STOP?

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

JSP Compilation Error when using OC4J out of the box

Hello.
After installing Java jdk 1.5.0_05, setting ORACLE_HOME, setting JAVA_HOME, rebooting, and installing OC4J standalone straight out of the box, I have deployed a simple web project that consists of just one JSP. I receive the following error message:
NOTIFICATION J2EE JSP-0008 Unable to dispatch jsp Page: oracle.jsp.provider.JspCompilationException: Errors compiling: C:\LocalApps\OC4J\j2ee\home\application-deployments\oc4j_jsp\persistence\_pages\\_Test.java<pre></pre>
I have deployed a number of Flex2 applications without incident. What am I missing here? Another odd thing is that my organization has OAS running and it can render JSPs fine.
Any help is appreciated thanks,
Mike
P.S. I have gone back and set the JSP debug switches, but they do not yeild much more info. Here is the stacktrace:

I had the very same Problem, and I spent a lot of time on it.
When installing Oc4j as a service using Javaservice opnesource, I had no problem, even using J.D.K 1.6:
%JSEXE% -install %JSNAME% %JVMDIR%\jvm.dll -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -Djava.class.path=%OC4J_HOME%\oc4j.jar -start oracle.oc4j.loader.boot.BootStrap -params -config %OC4J_HOME%\config\server.xml -out %OC4J_HOME%\log\OC4J_service_stdout.log -err %OC4J_HOME%\log\OC4J_service_stderr.log -current %JSBINDIR% -auto -description OC4JService
Then I wanted to install it using "ServiceMill" or "Javaservice Wrapper", becuase it has a better control on the process and I had that awfull compilation error.
I guess it is because ServiceMills uses java.exe and javaservice the .dll to launch the oc4j, no idea.
Anyway, thank you very much!!!!!

$(function () {
$("a[title='Open Menu']").click(function(){
setTimeout(function(){
$(".js-callout-body .js-callout-bodySection").eq(0).html("<span>Test</span>");
$(".js-callout-mainElement span").show();
$(".js-callout-content").show();
