X22 operating system reinstall
I tried reinstalling my XP Pro OS on an X22 from the Product Recovery CD. It seems to format and load properly, but when it tries to start I get and "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" with suggestions I that I make changes to the BIOS, etc. I don't have a clue about. Why doesn't it just install from the CD like it should? Can anyone tell me what to do about this?
Thanks.
Welcome to the forum!
You must set your media drive to be the primary boot drive in BIOS, then press F10 to save and exit.
From that point on, the disk (s) will do the rest.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

What was your old system?
What is your new System?
What version of Pages?
How did you install it?
I don't know if you can see what's on my screen, but I definitely can't see what's on yours.
To Install Word, buy it and follow the instructions.

Need help understanding service, repair, operating system reinstall
I bought a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 3443 laptop on the black friday sale in November 2013. Due to demand, the unit didn't ship until after Christmas. I didn't complain, but Lenovo offered a 5% rebate for my troubles. Still waiting on that to be processed.I've had all the documented problems with the Intel 6205 wireless card that are all over the forums. I finally upgraded my router just to resolve the issue.In March of 2015, after the warranty expired, one of the hinges broke. I took it to an authorized repair facility and was told (after 4 weeks) the part was no longer available. I called the service center listed on the website. They offered to ship me a box so I could send them the laptop for evaluation. Since it was out of warranty I would have to pay for any repairs.After two weeks, they sent the laptop back. They never contacted me during the process. I didn't get any quotes on the cost, nor did I authorize any work. They say they fixed the laptop. I can see the hinge is physically fixed. However, I cannot start the laptop. They wiped all my data, including the operating system. I have all my files backed up, but since this laptop does not have a CD or DVD drive, I don't have a way to reinstall the OS, which is Windows 8.1.Also, today, I received an invoice, saying they charged my credit card for what is almost the cost of a new machine. Lesson learned, never give the Chinese your credit card. So, my question, is there any way I can reinstall Windows 8.1? I don't have it on a disk or any hardware. It was shipped with the laptop at purchase. Service deleted it, so I don't have a copy at all. Also, don't be like me. Buy something else.
After looking at the Telus specific software download page (in North American menu) I noticed that there is a link for the 4.5 version and the 4.3 that I have. I guess 4.5 is available there then. I might give Telus a quick call and see if they know anything about it. More then likely not. The tech support people tend to be ill informed on anything detailed such as this.
thanks again -
Import music from iPhone to Macbook after operating system reinstall
My Macbook Pro recently crashed and I had to reinstall the operating system. I lost all the music in itunes that I had ripped from cds. However all the music is still on my iphone. Why can't I just import all the music from my iphone back to itunes on my Macbook ?
Using Lion OSX and Iphone 3gs. Haven't updated to os 5 as it says it will wipe all music from my iphone.You need a third-party utility program to transfer from your iPhone to your Mac. Here are a couple:

Itunes Issues after operating system reinstall
After having weeks of airport issues, the Genius Bar folks decided that reinstalling my operating system was the only opin to fix what they think is a software issue. After restoring all my data using my last backup and doing all software updates again, I am getting an error when trying to open itunes - 'the file itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. Would you like to download itunes now?. The two oprions I am given are 'quit' and 'download itunes'. If I chose to download itunes it tells my there are no updates! I have also plugged my ipod into my laptop and it doesn't recognize it. What should I do?? I am totally lost. When I ran the updates last night it showed itunes updating, so I am unclear as to why it isn't even opening. Thanks for any help.

Question about operating system reinstall on Portege R500
I have purchased the R500 64SSD version, and for some reason it never struck me to check if there was a DVD drive on it.
That was rather embarassing.
I know it is easy to purchase an external drve to copy software etc on to the Portege, so that isnt so bad.
However, I am considering a re-install, possibly to XP, but maybe just to reduce the repulsive amount of bloatware i got on my machine when i switched it on.
Now to the crux of the matter: if i use an external USB disk drive, i need USB drivers. If i delete the OS, that will delete the drivers.
So, finally, my question is: How in the name of Hell is anyone supposed to put a fresh install into an R500?
Thanks for your patience.I understand everything till the point with the bloatware.
But what I dont understand is: what do you want with a USB disk drive? I hope you dont mean a USB-HDD (its a little bit confusing). ;)
Usually you can use all drives without the need of some drivers because the machine offers you the option to boot from a USB device after powering the machine up and see the Toshiba logo pass...
You must only press F12 and choose the option to boot from an external USB CD/DVD drive. Thats all.

reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8. After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes. My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem. I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
Nothing seems to have helped the situation.

How do I reinstall my operating system and keep my data?
I recently installed a new time capsule and created a network. I have a three year old iMac (early 2009) on this network and a Mac Book Pro (late 2011). In addition, I backed up iTunes and iPhoto libraries to an external drive, with the intention of erasing them from my internal HD, just before installing the time capsule.
Since making this change there have been a number of problems with the iMac. It freezes up frequently, and also opens and closes programs at will. For example, it reopens already closed windows on its own. Speakers shut themselves on and off. The mouse disappears. Going full screen with a movie enlarges the screen, but the moviie appears the same size in one corner. There are "flashes" of windows which open and close at lightening speed. All these problems are intermittent, but started within the past two weeks, after intalling time capsule. Most recently, I received an error message where a grey screen came over my open window and told me I had to restart my computer immediately.
iTunes also had a problem with launching itself over and over. I did a bit of searching the web and resolved it the following manner. It seems to have worked.
While ITunes was open I opened Terminal and typed: killall iTunes
This seems to have worked, but I include the information here to expound on the problems I've been having.
I have my system backed up to the time capsule, using time machine, and the above mentioned libraries are on a seperate hard drive. But is it possible to reinstall the operating system without losing documents and other personal stuff on my iMac? Is reinstalling the recommended fix for all this instability?
In addition to the above, my Mac Book Pro has also been running slower, with lots of pinwheels, since the network setup.
Thanks in advance for your help with this problem.Hello Linc, thanks for your help. Did not find a UUID--or at least I don't think it is here. Here is the requested report:

I need to reinstall my operating system for 10.5 after seeing a file folder and question mark flashing on my start up screen. Can anyone help me with this?
Hello,
That means it can find the Hard Drive, or can't find the things needed for booting.
See if DU even sees it.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.) -
How do I reinstall the operating system on my MacBook Pro without using my apple id?
I'm selling my computer. Everything has been erased. Now the operating system, Lion, needs to be installed. I believe the computer did not come with a cd so reinstalling is done through wifi.
Katacali wrote:
We bought it in January 2010. I'm not sure what OS it came with but when I look at the dates of each OS on wikipedia it looks like it came with Snow Leopard. The only disk I happen to have is Leopard.
Let's drop back a minute and go through what you can and cannot do with this machine.
1. If the machine came with Leopard, you can install Leopard and then go to Snow Leopard and up the line of the on-line Mac OS X versions, that is, Lion, and Mountain Lion and Mavericks as compatible. If the disk for Leopard that you have is a grey face disk, that is a machine-specific disk and will only work if it is the disk that came with your MacBook Pro. If it is a panted face (black) with a large silver X it is a retail version and will install IF your machine came with Leopard.
2. If your MacBook Pro came with Snow Leopard, it will not install Leopard. If it came with Snow Leopard and is a 2010 machine, it will not install the retail version of Snow Leopard since that is 10.6.3 and the 2010 and later machines came with 10.6.6 preinstalled. You must call Apple Customer Support and have them send you the machine-specific install disk for that machine. There is a fee of something like $20 in the US for doing that.
3. If your machine came with Snow Leopard, you need to reinstall Snow Leopard and then move to the on-line Mac OS X versions, you cannot download a version with your Apple ID associated with the version currently on the machine. The starting point HAS to be Snow Leopard for the new owner to do an on-line Mac OS X download.
4. With Snow Leopard installed and on-line software updated to 10.6.8, the new owner can then move up to Lion or above depending on the compatibility of the hardware. To move to Lion or above the machine must have an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. To move to Mountain Lion or Mavericks the machine must meet the requirements in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
At any rate, the new owner must install Snow Leopard on that machine before any move to one of the Mac App Store versions of Mac OS X. -
I reinstalled my computer's operating system. How do I transfer music from my Ipod to my music library? It transfered some, but not all my music. I authorized the computer, but it did not help.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
The ipod is not a backup device.
You need to copy everything back using your backup copy. -

i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?
Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.
