  • What is Recovery HD and where can I get it?

    What is Recovery HD and where can I get it? Disk utility says my hard drive is corrupt and needs to be repaired using Recovery HD. I downloaded Lion and do not have a CD from which to restart. Please help. My computer barely functions. This just began today, although it has been slower than usual for a few weeks. I removed lots of old Aperture Libraries with no benefit - even worse now.

    The Recovery HD is in lieu of a machine-specific Mac OS X install disk that you received in the past with versions that predate Lion.  With Lion and Mountain Lion you no longer buy a DVD of the Mac OS X nor do you get an install disi with a machine that has the system pre-installed.  The Recovery HD is a means to resinstall/restore the operating system, only.  None of the peripheral software or data you have have accumulated.  For that you still need a backup of the hard drive.
    Likewise you cannot write to the Recovery HD...doesn't even show up in Disk Utility and will not show up on the desktop if you have your hard drive(s) and partitions display on the desktop.
    It will show up if you restart and hold the Opt key, and you can boot from it that way or the Command+R key way that is most often recommended.

  • What is recovery mode and why does it want me to restore my iphone?

    I was downloading the new software 4.3.5 for my iphone 4 when i think the computer lost internet so it appeared with an error and i tried again but then it said  "Itunes is detecting an iphone in recovery mode" then it wanted me to restore my iphone whitch im scared to do. also it spent quite alot of time on "preparing for update". now all i can get from my iphone is the picture of the cable wanting to be plugged into itunes.
    please tell me what recovery mode is and how i got it. and also if there is any way ican get my iphone back with out restoring my iphone. thank you

    Leave the phone connected to iTunes and let it boot the phone up again.  iTunes should then try and update the firmware again once it detects the phone.

  • IPod Classic - 80GB - What does Recovery Mode mean?

    Every time I connect my new iPod Classic to my computer I get the message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." I've restored the iPod several times and no luck. I welcome advice. Thank you.

  • Perform a clean install from recovery disks

    Hi all,
    I have the model (L505-S5995). I created the recovery disks (3 dvds in total 2 for system and 1 for software).
    The question is: If I use these disks it will reinstall the Operating system (Windows 7 Home Premium) along with
    toshiba bundled software (which are installed After the Operating system had been installed), Is there a way to install only the Operating system and stop the automated bundled software installation?
     Also after I used the recovery discs once (instead of holding '0' while powering on the computer) I can no longer see the 8GB hidden drive at the end in Disk management window, also holding '0' will not get me to the recovery from harddisk tool (I think i should somehow get the 8GB recovery partition back, but how?)

    You can only restore the system back to it's out of box state.  You can't just install WIndows from it.  To do that you'll need to purchase a regular version of Windows.
    Check out the User's Guide for that model to see exactly what the Recovery System will do and how to use it.  The User's Guide is found on your hard drive in Adobe Acrobat Format and can be downloaded from the Product Support Link at the top of this page.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

    Hi!! You should try the recovery feature in W7. Some times it can be accessed through safe mode. On my model it's easier to use the system repair disc. You can find out how to create that here.

    Here's what the recovery looks like. You have 5 options to help you. The Dos option can really help if you are familiar with Dos. In Dos you can do a chkdsk---sfc /scannow--- and a whole lot more. Start with the Repair option first and work your way down.

  • Hi! when starting my computer the background went gray with two hard drives in the middle. One is named macintosh HD and the other recovery 10.9. I have my whole life on my computer, and i don't know which of them i should start up? Please i need help!

    when starting my computer the screen is gray with two harddrives. One is named Macintosh HD and the other Recovery 10.9. My computer has never done this before! I am really worrid that my files will be lost if i choose to start the wrong harddrive. Which one should i choose? HELP!!

    You probably held down the Option or Command R keys when you heard the startup tone. Simply choose the HD. To learn what the Recovery partition is please read OS X: About OS X Recovery

  • HT4561 What can I do to get the 10.6.8 update to install WITHOUT causing a Kernel Panic?

    Every time I try to install the 10.6.8 update my iMac boots a Kernel Panic and I have to do a recovery and patches all the way back up to 10.6.7
    Then when I try the 10.6.8 update again, I get another Kernel Panic. It takes hours and hours to download the updates required to return to 10.6.7 from what my recovery CD contains and after three tries I'm about to give up!
    What is going on that 10.6.8 causes a Kernel Panic on boot-up?!?
    I have a Mid-2007 24" iMac and I don't use Bootcamp or Parrellels or anything interesting or fun. This computer is primarlly used for email, browsing (Firefox) and playing Minecraft.
    The reason I want the update is that I'm afraid Mojang (Minecraft) will soon require a Java update and without the 10.6.8 update and installing Lion I can not get a Java update.

    I have been reading the related posts and have found none of the suspect files. (mouse-related.ktext, CHUD related ktext files)
    I deleted the Logictec mouse/keyboard drivers and stuff and also am deleting my 3rd party Magic Mouse driver.
    As soon as I read something definite about this I will try another update.
    I do not own a Time Machine so restoring from a backup is not happening.
    I will be required (should another panic occure) to go through the entire update process again.
    I curious, what would hacking on the forums have to do with 10.6.8 updates on user machines?
    Also, is Apple Corporation addressing the "issues of late with 10.6.8 updates"?

  • HT4623 ipad stuck in recovery mode. How do I fix the issue?

    I attempted to update my ipad. I downladed the update to itunes and proceeded to install onto the ipad. The installation failed, and now the ipad is stuck on whats apparently recovery mode. When i attempt to connect the ipad to itunes (on a windows 7 platform) the computer gives the notification that it is connected but itunes wont recognize the ipad. How do i actually put the ipad through a recovery to put an end to this situation?

    This should help.  You may have to try the process of placing into recovery mode more than once to succeed.

  • How to create recovery disk for windows 8.1 after update from windows 8.

    My laptop came with windows 8 and i have recovery discs for windows 8.
    Now i've updated to windows 8.1, so i want to creat recovery discs for windows 8.1.
     So in future when i use recovery discs i dont have to download windows 8.1 again.
    Please tell me if there is any way to do this.....

    As colakid posted, in Windows 8 the ability to create a recovery CD/DVD has gone. Your options are to:
    create a recovery USB; or
    create a recovery image.
    Recovery USB
    Colakid's post talks you through how to make a recovery USB: from control panel, choose Recovery, then Create a Recovery Drive, and follow the prompts.
    However, the 'recovery USB' can be a bit misleading. When the wizard starts, there is an option to 'copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive'. If you do not check this option, you will still need installation media to reset your PC.
    Since you have upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, you will probably not be able to check this option, as it will be greyed out (like it is in the picture in Colakid's post).
    If you go ahead and create the USB anyway, you will be able to boot to it, but you won't be able to reinstall Windows unless you have the installation media (or possibly a system image, though I haven't tried that).
    Recovery image
    The recovery image is an image of your computer that Windows will use when you select the 'refresh my pc' option. You can create a recovery image using the recimg.exe tool.
    First, open an elevated command prompt (type cmd and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter).
    Next, create the recovery image by typing:
    recimg /createimage [path]
    Where [path] is the folder you want the image in, eg C:\Recovery. You cannot set the file name - it will always be called CustomRefresh.wim.
    Let it run its course. When it's done, you can check that it is the current recovery image by typing
    recimg /showcurrent
    It's important to keep in mind what a recovery image contains. It will have your Windows system files (in their current state), and the desktop apps you have installed (so it makes sense to do this after a fresh install of Windows). It will
    not backup any Metro apps or user files, because these are not deleted during a system refresh. If you want a complete backup of everything on your computer the way it is now, you should make take a complete system image (which
    can be done from the File History settings in control panel - at the bottom left there will be a 'System Backup Image' option - or you can do it using any other backup software like Ghost or Acronis).
    In my case, I created the recover image straight after upgrading to Windows and it was about 6 GB.
    Prepare/Create and register an recovery partition, so the option Copy the Recovery Partition becomes available in the recovery drive UI  application.
    In elevated command run> RECIMG -CREATEIMAGE C:\REFRESHIMAGE< 
    This will create a new custom.wim in a folder Refreshimage.
    Now lets get ready to register the path of the image, so our create recovery drive option(COPY THE RECOVERY PARTITION FROM THE PC TO THE RECOVERY DRIVE) becomes available.
    >  In the folder you created there will be a> custom.wim<
    change it to>INSTALL.wim<
    > Create a folder In Cd/directory using Elevated command> mkdir c:\Win8.1-Recovery,>
    Win81-Recovery<.
    > Copy the  INSTALL.WIM. Put in the Win81-recovery folder created.
    > Run in elevated commad>REAGENTC /SetOSImage /Path C:\Win81-Recovery\INSTALL.WIM /Index 1<
    Do not copy the arrows if using copy and paste, that is my way of pointing out lines of code
    Information provided by the link below, thanks Keith. I simplified the process for easy following and added my own tweak from trial and error for the install.

  • Recovery from 3.6.16 crash that appeared to corrupt the database

    A few days ago, I tried several Xmarks for Firefox synchronizations, and got a Firefox crash. The Firefox crash appears to have corrupted the Firefox database enough that an Xmarks for Firefox download won't complete.
    What other recovery methods should I try?
    The add-ons I use frequently do not appear to work well enough with Firefox 4 yet to switch to it.
    I've been unable to find enough information on having both Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 4 on the same computer to guess whether having both at once would make then interfere with each other.
    I use multiple browsers, so switching to a synchronizer that cannot handle cross-browser synchronizations to IE and Chrome is not acceptable.
    Both the Xmarks server and Firefox on my other computer have copies of the bookmark set I need to restore (about 19,200 of them).

    You should have separate Profiles for 3.6 and4.0.
    Create a new profile exclusively for 4.0 and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

  • System won't boot to USB Recovery Media

    I have a Satellite P55-A5312 with pre-installed Windows 8 (upgraded to 8.1), Intel i5 processor and 6GB Ram.  I created a set of DVD recovery media and a USB Flash (Toshiba brand 32GB) recovery drive.  I set the boot order in BIOS to USB, then DVD, then HDD.  Secure Boot is enabled.
    Question I have is, how can I verify that the reovery media will boot if needed?  If I power on the laptop, neither the DVD nor USB will boot and it goes directly to Windows, which kind of makes sense.  If I then restart, the DVD recovery media will in fact boot, but the USB recovery media won't boot.  Even if I restart with F12 and choose USB as the boot device, the USB media will not boot.  The only way I can get the USB recovery media to boot is if I disable Secure Boot.  
    I find it hard to believe that USB recovery media will only work if Secure Boot is disabled.  What am I doing wrong?
    Ken
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sure would be nice to know what the recovery media boot behavior is suppose to be with Secure Boot enabled...
    With a little luck, Peter will stop by and let us know.

  • BIA recovery path for scenario not containing a backup

    Hi, we are running a small BIA enviroment; 5 blades, 1 is a backup blade.
    Environment is stable, it is running on revision 48.
    We recently moved from having 2 backup blades to 1, by switching a backup blade to a master. This was necessary as we were running out of capacity.
    Next step would be to trade in the last backup blade to a master; and add extra blades to appoint as backups.
    Question is. In the case of having no backup blades; and one blade fails. What is required to get all the indexes in memory with the remaining blades (so -1). I understand that having less blades will result in performance loss; but I want to understand what the recovery path is.
    Edited by: Paul Bartholomeusz on Jul 28, 2009 8:56 AM

    Hi Paul,
    If you have no backup blade and the indizes are splitted over all your blades and one of your server fails than you must reindexing with your remaining blades to get back to normal operation.
    But why you don´t run backup mode mutual? Ok SAP don´t recommend this backup mode because in some few cases you will get problems, but we run it since 1 year and I tested it with some cases and it works without problems (Rev. 49).
    What for a memory consumption have your blades? over 50%? The performance loss depends on your current memory consumption. Please read [this thread for information about memory usage for BIA|;.
    Best regards,
    Jens
