  Hello Varshil07,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message, by updating your Mac you have forced stop, or you have closed the lid, and now it does not start.  To start, I suggest that try you to start in safe mode by following the instructions below.  For later use, it's a good idea to not force the computer to shut down or close the lid while it is up to date, because it can cause problems.

  1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

  2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

  3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.

     You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

  4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

  To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, but no press during the startup.

• Startup MacBook Pro-comment problems prevent health going to disk/check once again

  My 13 inch Macbook Pro running OSX 10.9.5 (said mid-2012, but it was purchased in fall 2014) has had problems starting

  A few weeks ago the computer is stuck on the loading screen (white, with the Apple and the buffering of spinning icon) without marketing properly. After you have manually turned off and left for a long time he worked well on the next test, so I took care of it has been saved and so didn't think much, and it works pretty well in recent weeks, sometimes being a little slow but that very occasionally and not debilitatingly so and it probably is not related to this problem.

  This morning it was still once stuck on the loading screen, and try again in 5 or 6 times solves nothing. The VRAM reset did not help either. After an attempt to boot into safe mode (filled a little progress bar then disappeared and the computer continued to buffer without purpose), I once again reset the NVRAM and tried a different boot safe mode, with the same results. But this time I left it half an hour or so and on the next attempt (start normally) it miraculously worked a new and everything seems functional. After a new backup with a preparation period slightly extended backup (at least half an hour on the first abandoned attempt, then at least 15 minutes, until correct on the second trial has started), although it is common on my computer, I have enough fear turn the computer off and tempt fate again, if I want to see what can be done now.

  What should I do to check the health of the disk, potentially fix it, find out why this is happening and avoid this problem again in the future?

  I decided to watch from the disk utility and am confused by the Setup program. There is an 'APPLE HDD Media HTS541010A9E662' entry in the list, with a "MacIntoshHD" paragraph below, and both have different information displayed... I ran check disk on the higher level entry and it seems to be out very well ("the Volume Recovery HD seems to be OK"), but I haven't run one on the low level input as it says my computer may be "slow and unresponsive" while doing so, and I'm not entirely sure of what use there.

  It cannot be storage associated with as I stil have 610 gb of free 1 terra (although a large part of what I have (130 GB) is in the other category for a reason any).

• BitLocker me locked on Surface Pro 3; I have never set up BitLocker and key is not stored anywhere.

  Hello

  I have a Surface Pro 3, i5 256GB, bought in July 2014.

  I'm the ONLY person has ever touched my 3 Surface Pro.  Nobody else EVER used.  No administrator has already set up or tampered with it at all.  It's a personal computer (no admin would be by any company or organization in a way) and I'm the only person who used it.

  A week after starting, there's my 3 Surface Pro opens a blue screen that says unexpectedly "BitLocker: enter the recovery key to go again" and under the entry field says "to get that key, go to http://windows.microsoft.com/recoverykeyfaq.

  Please note: I am 10 000% CERTAIN that I have NEVER set up BitLocker on my computer.  No one else has.  I am sure of it.  Nobody has slyly had access to my computer.  I am sure of that too.

  But I went on that link above, connected to my account, and he told me that the BitLocker No. key has been saved to my account.  Again... no one else has no non-existent admin not a she and none 'another user' is, because I'm the only person who has used this computer.  Never.  Period.

  I called several times the support (and got hung up twice after an hour during a support call, by the way) and then to the Bank from Microsoft.  All members support confirmed that the 3 Surface Pro (unlike the Surface 2) don't automatically configures NOT BitLocker unless it is initialized by the user at any given time.  I am sure that some may be... I NEVER configure BitLocker on my drive.

  But, somehow, BitLocker encrypted to my reader, and there is no key.

  There is no way around it.  I can't get the key when he never existed.  I don't have not "forget" or "misplace" the BitLocker key, because I never put one in place.

  Hotline helpfully told me it must be a virus (please, seriously? Support always say that just to deny ANY responsibility for anything EVER?) or claims that I have configure BitLocker and forgotten (once again, please).

  I'm Livid.  I've lost the value of weeks of files.  How BitLocker can be put on my drive, and the key is not available through my account?

  Apparently, there is no way to get around, but I still think there must be something I can do.

  Someone at - it never had a similar problem, and if anyone has found a solution?  I need desperately to recover these files.  (Yes, I back up often, but he was still about 2 weeks, and not all received perfectly saved.)

  I would really appreciate if someone knows the tricks etc.

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

  Hello Dave,

  Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

  Unfortunately, my answers also support the statements you receive from Web sites or other technicians. Bit locker never ever get created and implemented by its own. Application of bitlocker on any system requires several step then only it gets implemented.

  BitLocker Drive encryption, help us protect all files stored on the drive Windows is installed on (operating system drive) and on data drives (for example, internal hard drives). We can use BitLocker to protect all files stored on removable data drives (such as external hard drives or USB flash drives).

  If it has been implemented and you do not know the key so there is no way to get the key and you may need to perform refresh, reset or reinstall windows.

  Important: Check out this article and refer to the warning section, you can copy the section warning like warning when you provide Refresh or reset in Windows 8 or 8.1 Windows

  Hope that the information provided is useful. Let us know if you have any concerns related to Windows. We will be happy to help you.

• Surface Pro 4: program not opening not normally

  I use the Palm Desktop by ACCESS Version 6.2.2 on several computers, including this 10 Surface Pro 4 Windows and two machines to Windows 7.   I do any changes on this computer, and when I want to have other classes, I just copy the file with all my data and place it on other machines.   I used the program normally and after closing, I again had a need to open it later.   This time when I opened it, I get a message saying "some components required for playback and editing of video clips are not installed.  Please install WMP/DirectX and QuickTime from Apple on the Web"

  This message never came.  When I click on the 'X' or the OK button, the program opens, but none of my information is available.  When I click on 'Tools', then 'Options' and then click on the arrow to the right of the starting application, the only choice is 'Media' on other computers, the startup application is listed as 'Agenda' even if there are other choices, including address book, task list, Notepad and media.

  I've never done the changes the media to start my application and have no idea how it happened.   Someone there other recommendations that the copy of my data file, remove the program and put it back, after which I can exchange my account data for the one created when I reinstall?

  Thanks for any help you can provide.

  Two suggestions-

  1 perform a "clean uninstall" of Palm Desktop (after backing up your data), then reinstall it.  The best way to back up data is to use the 'Export' function in Palm Desktop.

  2 follow these steps to make the Palm Desktop to open mode "Run As Admin" every time that:

  To run as administrator every time:
  Right click on the desktop icon of Palm
  Click on properties/compatibility

• HP OfficeJet 200 series Mobile: 3 Surface Pro WIndows 10 - can't re eastablish wi - fi direct connection

  Hello

  We managed to connect our Surface Pro 3 Windows 10 running on a mobile printers HP OfficeJet 200 series using a Wi - Fi Direct connection not wireless. The problem is that whenever we turn the printer off or go to sleep Surface pro cannot re esatablish of connection with the printer again after on. In the device and printers OfficeJet 200 is still there but greyed out and has a status to be offline even if the printer has been for a while.

  The only way to connect it must make the entire process of reconnection to the Wi - Fi direct connection, for example by typing in the code and wait to see the device is connected. It should not this printer to establish a connection with the surface pro automatically after power on, yet the pro Surface shows that the printer is offline and I know that I had direct Wi - Fi together to establish the connection automatically. Is there a solution for this.

  The problem only occurs when the printer stops and he must turn it off to save battery because what get out us them for field work.

  We discovered that the Wi - Fi Direct is not fully supported in Windows 10. The only way you can reconnect to Wi - Fi direct is if you connect to the printer that you connect to an access point Wi - Fi. If you do this your Wi - Fi direct printer connection will be reset. The downside is that your Surface Pro 3 will lose the internet connection.

  For us, that our solution is not to use Wi - Fi direct and use the Wi - Fi function. We connected the mobile series HP OfficeJet 200 to our iPhone hot spot and we also connected the Surface Pro iPhone hotspot. Whenever we connect our tablet to the hotspot, we can use the printer because the printer is always connected to the HotSpot.

• Unable to connect after the most recent firmware for Microsoft Surface Pro 3 update

  Hi, I upgraded my Surface Pro to Windows 10 2... had no problems connecting to R7000 on band 5G. After upgrade the R7000 firmware to the latest version (V1.0.4.30_1.1.67), I now have problems connecting on the band of 5 G. Tablet must be adjacent to the router to connect on 5G band however once connected is connection is kept at distance (about 50 feet). However if I choose the 2.4GH I have no problem in establishing the initial connection to a distance of band. Did someone else has this problem and is there a solution?

  Thank you!

  Thanks a bunch, I went through all the processes of 'Factory Reset' and which certainly did not help. I took your advice and your instructions on return to 1.0.4.28 and it worked like a charm!

  I am now my Surface automatically compressed to a distance of 50 feet or more, through 3 walls on my terrace (as far as I dared so far) no problemo!

  With the latest firmware, I had to be sitting next to the router. The latest firmware is really baaad!

  Thank sagain for your help!

• P2815Q is not recognize MiniDP or DP, only HDMI, tried everything, Surface Pro 3 he messed up?

  Hi guys, currently my P2815Q monitor will not connect to multiple computers, either through mini DP (on the computer, a 3 Surface Pro plugged into the wall) DP (on the monitor) or DVI + adapter (on the computer, which has a Quadro K600 graphics card) (on the monitor) DP or DP (on the Quadro K600) to mini-DP (on the monitor).  It is not even recognized in the Device Manager on the computer and still shows the floating message "not connected".

  For a while, it worked well in all of these configurations on two of these computers.  A few days ago, when it was connected to my Surface Pro 3, all of a sudden the connection dropped, and then he entered an endless loop to connect to the surface, only to disconnect immediately (after less than a second, as indicated by the "found new hardware" and "disconnected material" sounds).  My SP3 has the latest graphic drivers installed by Windows Update.  There is nothing obviously wrong with the cable.

  Initially, I unplugged the monitor of the SP3, then after reading briefly on "flicker" on an external monitor with SP3 tried leaving connected for up to 30 years, nothing helped.  Also played with the ppp settings that I had put the monitor at 200%, while it worked while the SP3 is 150%.  Tried to restart the SP3 and the connection to the AC adapter / CC, etc.

  Finally, the monitor stopped being recognized by the computer completely and since then I did not get the 'new hardware found' sound once when connecting it via the above ports.  However, he recognized when connected via HDMI to computers.  Once logged in so I could bring up the OSD menu, I did a factory reset, nothing helps.  I also made the image rendering test (where you hold the buttons 1 & 4) and it went perfectly.  Also tried to unplug the monitor and now the power for 5 seconds.

  The first time I plugged on Quadro K600 (DP on the map, on the monitor miniDP) computer it shows briefly a picture, albeit more low resolution 4 k I had used on this computer before, then disappeared and this computer too firmly refuses to recognize...

  What can I do?  It sounds like the logic board is fried?  Thank you, Caleb

• U2414H - problem with Surface Pro 3

  This has been a constant problem. We have a number of these monitors and we have a user with a Surface Pro 3 problems where every few weeks or so, one of his monitors will stop running.  Usually after swapping the monitor with another, he will work for a few weeks and then stops again.  The user has a docking station of Surface that we had originally two monitors connected in Garland for the DisplayPort. The user wants to add a third U2414H, but we could never that daisy chain on the other.  The user has added a diamond USB adapter which used DisplayLink and we had three monitors working.  Now, this week he came in and one of the monitors connected DisplayPort adapter does not work.  All three are U2414H and we exchanged out them with other U2414H monitors we have in our office to try to make them work.  Are there rules that we must follow to prevent them to stop constantly working with the surface?  Is this a problem of windows 8?  Thank you.

  Apology. I just see this answer. You did it ensure 1.2 DP was off when you have tested the underside of short term solution?

  Problem =
  * When the SP3 is anchored and double are connected using DisplayPort multistreaming (daisy chain), one or two screens will not be recognized after restart or power cycling the SP3. In both cases, the resulting no video appearing on external displays.
  * Some displays will expose rip video on the secondary display, what installation using DisplayPort multistreaming (daisy chain).
  * A view not to return to video mode displayed after recovering from power save mode.

  Workaround short term =
  SP3 Dock CDM on--> Dell mDP to DP cable--> #1 off DP (DP 1.2) monitor
  CDM SP3 on--> Dell mDP to DP cable--> #2 off DP (DP 1.2) monitor

  Long term = solution
  Microsoft is aware of the issue with their dock. They are developing a dongle special connector to the dock that works with the process of formation of link to boost the signal strength has negotiated with external monitors. As to when this will be available in September. Note the dongle won't be available in stores. You should open a case with Microsoft and show them that the problem occurs when you connect directly to the dock AMD and using double monitors in a DP 1.2 Garland of STD. They will then send you the dongle. I've heard other customers of this front line support Microsoft has not yet heard this dongle. Then wait until September to contact them.

• Windows 7 is AGAIN, once AGAIN!

  Receive an email from HP that they are once AGAIN more of their computers pre-loaded with Windows 7 instead of Windows 8 shipping!  This seems to be a tacit admission that Windows 8 SUCK!

  I bought a HP Envy 700-027c in August and HATE Winows 8 and we tried to downgrade to Windows 7.  I have a HD "Virgin" I used to load Win 7, but there is no driver for everything!  Even with the Windows 8 drivers, that I managed to find would give me an error message.  And I couldn't find any Windows 7 drivers for my hardware.

  I called HP customer service, but they wanted to get their 'Top' (i.e. pay for play) group.  Because I have HP deviating to Win7 as an admission of failure to win 8, it must be viable and no way to cost us down!  I have a copy of Windows 7 Pro that I would use.

  Everyone?

  Hello:

  You can easily install W7 64-bit on your model.

  Use the W7 x 64 drivers of this model (in the original category).

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=5231222

  The only driver I do not know the hand is for devices without wireless and bluetooth, but that should be no problem, once you post the hardware ID's for those.

  After installing W7, please post the hardware ID's for the network controller and the bluetooth controller.

  Use this guide to find out how to find the hardware for a device ID.

• Surface Pro wake from sleep

  I have a brand new Surface Pro with cover Type.  If I allow him to go to sleep, either by closing the lid or leave it empty, he's not waking up.  I experience the problem even if the device is plugged in or not.  It happens also with and without covering type.

  In order to get the Surface Pro to come back, I have to turn it off completely by holding down the power button.  Then he starts back and complain that a problem with Windows close unexpectedly.  Other that update applications 'Modern' in construction, Office 2013 and Microsoft Updates installation, no other changes have been made to the unit.  The device worked properly for about 2 days after the initial Setup, then this problem started to happen.

  Has anyone else seen this problem and find a resolution?

  I had exactly this problem on a 3 Surface Pro running Windows 10 build 10041. Has been fully reproducible. Close cover keyboard to release SP3 in mode 'sleep' and then it was impossible to wakes again. Windows button vibrated in a hurry but other than SP3 do not wake up. I tried everything, ranging from disable sleep mode connected to the power switch, Hibernate, turn but the problem remains. Very annoying.

  What solved it for me was to install the driver of Surface Pro 3 pack. You only need the Surface Pro pack driver 3 March 2015 (~ 150 MB) here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38826

  After installing this pack my SP3 wakes up from sleep again. Hope this helps some.

• Apps on Surface pro 3

  I want to know if (especially social media applications) apps on a windows phone of Nokia Lumia will work on a surface Pro 3.

  10 Windows will have a unified store next year when it releases, but for now, the Windows app store (PC/Tablet) and phone store are separate stores.  Some app builders have linked their two entries together so that you can "buy once and get both apps", but it is not a guarantee that every app on the phone will be currently a PC version too.

  You can search the store to find out.  Go here and use the search box to find applications for Surface Pro 3 (or any device of Windows 8).

• Installation on Surface Pro photo App question

  Hey guys & Gals,

  I have a Surface Pro running Windows 8. I can't find (on the Surface) or download the pre-installed camera App (from the store). When I search the Surface the App is not downloaded and when I go to the Store, the App are in the section "applications installed on this PC. Once I click in the App in the store, it always gives me the option to install the application. I select install and it never installs. Because I can't find it on the Surface I'm unable to uninstall and reinstall. I don't get an error message. The App says to install in the upper right corner of the Bank for 2-3 seconds before disappearing. I tried the following steps to try to resolve the problem:

  -tried to install it from the search option in the store, from Apps option installed in the store and Apps not installed on this PC. All installation options are available, but the application won't install,

  -J' ran WSRESET.

  -J' checked and confirm my region, the location settings and clock.

  -Have a MS on the Surface and the same account is registered in the store,

  -can download other applications,

  -The surface is completely up to date with all the latest updates,

  -Ran the App troubleshooting tool,

  -Licenses are synchronized,

  -Removed my account MS the http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=262691 cloud synchronization settings,

  -I am able to set up a second account 'Test' on the Surface and properly install the software on the VAC.

  -When I use my 'Test' account in the store on my main account, I am unable to download the app and I have the option to install all the time.

  I won't have to refresh/reset my Pro that I have installed programs that I don't want to lose or reinstall (product keys). The WSRESET tool resets the cache in the store. Is there a way to reset the cache local App that can solve this problem? It seems to me that the store and the Surface do not properly communicate with respect to this application, as we think it is downloaded and the other do not think it is downloaded. I have exhausted all my known troubleshooting steps and any help would be appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Sean

  e. click Yes to confirm, and then click OK.

  f. look for the file C:\Users\Old_Username, where C is the drive on which Windows is installed, and the old username is the name of the profile you want to copy the files.

  g. Select all files and folders in this folder, except the following files:

  Ntuser.dat

  Ntuser.dat.log

  Ntuser.ini
