• Restored HD from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac (stolen) from my new MacBook Pro.  Not all the files have been restored.

  My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed.  My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro).  However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27".  I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro.  When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup.  Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored.  Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?

  is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.

  If you open the time machine with the original backup disc, you should be able to browse the content

  

  If the files are found, you can restore by right-clicking (or CTRL + left mouse)

• My Macbook Pro does not recognize the Apple USB superdrive

  My Macbook pro doesn't recognize the superdrive.

  I don't know exactly what is the cause, but everything was fine before certain events.

  Upgrade to El Capitan

  Upgrading to Parallels desktop 11

  Upgrade to Windows 10

  As I said before these changes everything was fine. Another problem I face is a lot of cuts of my wifi connection and I have to disconnect and reconnect the wifi.

  If anyone has any idea I would be grateful to have the explanation

  Thank you very much

  The Superdrive Apple USB attracts more than the maximum power allowed. It can be awkward on some MacBook Pro. But the question probably for your configuration is Windows has reserved the player himself, and the side Mac cannot use until Windows releases, or you do a restart.

  It is a problem with the Camera Raw plugin 9.5.  Until that a fix is released, the solution is to roll back to ACR 9.4 unless you have a camera that requires a 9.5 ACR.  Use the installer from 9.4 to roll back:

• Mid 2010 MacBook Pro could not be repaired

  Hey guys,.

  My MacBook 2010 Mid Pro unfortunately has a problem with the logic board and fits in this issue:

  https://www.Apple.com/au/support/MacBookPro-videoissues/

  After a match with apple care (which was extremely helpful and friendly), they determined it was a vintage product and could not be fixed by them. So, my question is that since the program is still in business and my problem is a known issue, are there options for me?

  I don't know, but this applies to the 2010 Ant models the way that I read it. This program is for units from early 2011 and so would not apply in a mid-2010.

• How can I erase hard drive?

  Reinstall?

  The answer depends on whether you have a retail or generic OEM Windows XP CD or you have a computer where the system was created with a customized version of Windows XP with a backup stored in a restore partition.

  With a detail or generic OEM Windows XP CD, you get the option during the process of the instalation to format the drive. This erases the contents of the disc. With a customized version of Windows XP if you choose to restore the copy of Windows XP from the recovery partition, this deletes all files on the C (System) partition existing...

  If you want to erase all traces of files on a disk, you need to write data on the location where the deleted files on the disc. Put in shape then make all previous files unrecoverable by most users. There may be file recovery techniques that will stilll show what the drive previously contained but few will know how to play files in this situation.

  Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

• My MacBook Pro does not have the Adobe Reader program...

  Hey-

  I have Mac OS X 10.6.8. There can be no Adobe Reader on your computer. A Web site, I was reading an article on higher education said, "you need Adobe Reader to use some of the functions...". "I wanted to download an article and I cold not managed to download so I downloaded Adobe Reader.  I don't know if there is a specific way to install the program as if he was with Adobe Flash, but I clicked on the download and now my MBP does not work properly.  So I think I better uninstall first and try to download again.  Are there specific instructions to download and install Adobe Reader?  or I just download the program and install it?  For some reason that way screwed the Pro macBoo upward and now I'm having a lot of problems and can't open any pdf files.  I had the same problem with Flash until someone in the forum told me that I had to follow the instructions specify that Adobe recommends that one follows the installation of Flash.  Once I have made, or found someone who knew what I asked and did not said 'just download the program and click... "If someone can help me uninstall Adobe Reader and go through the installation process?

  No.... MacUpdate.com is the site where you can find AppDelete.

  Not to be confused with the Apple software update.

  Two different animals.

  The BIG difference between Reader and Acrobat (except the price) is that with Acrobat, you can create and modify the PDFs. Reader views only them unless they have fields to fill in, but it is still impossible to modify the body of the PDF file.

  Good thing on a Mac is that Preview, which comes with the operating system can create and edit PDF files.

  Unfortunately, a lot of services online such as banks, employers and universities do not play well with preview in your browser so you have the player adds on.

  The process is therefore:

  Download AppDelete to MacUpdate.com

  Install it and run it

  Drag the Reader app to the window.

  Delete EVERYTHING in the window.

  Empty the trash.

  Download the free app from drive X

  Install it.

• How can I fix an error message saying "could not read the manifesto of chrome?

  Unable to read the chrome manifest ' queue: / / / C:/Program % program % 20Thunderbird 20(x86) /Mozilla % 20Files / chrome.manifest'.

  All of a sudden, I can't connect to the server '? ' and I get some error messages. The above more "the RETR command failed" and "sending the password has failed, #AUTH701 Service unavailable."
  I tried to remove my password of memory and he asked me again but no joy. I checked and my webmail - Yahoo - works fine. TB won't just go get him. Can I get help from anyone please?

  The problem is that the ATT / Yahoo email service is apparently run by kindergarten children and no client att is getting what they pay for. They give a list of messages to thunderbird, it can recover, then say gotcha I can't get back them. ATT it works not. You use their mail add in a browser.
  I speak of this here http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/the-retr-command-did-not-succeed-thank.html

  However, if you dig into your Thunderbird profile, locate the popstate.dat file and delete it.

  Menu (alt + H) help > troubleshooting information

  Click the display folder

  Close Thunderbird

  Navigate to the mail folder in the Explorer window that opened.

  Now the att.yahoo or any name server they use this week.

  popstate.dat will be in this folder.

  Delete this file makes Thunderbird forget where it is up to download mail from Yahoo, apparently changing id numbers at random intervals or something. The result is that you have left on the server is downloaded again.

  So, you can this add-on to clear the mess. https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/remove-duplicate-messages-Alte/?src=search

  I blame ATT / Yahoo also are about 99% of the people who come on these forums about this ATT/Yahoo customers. But it could be the continuation of security they provide as well. McAfee caused problems with Thunderbird for over a year and my best recommendation is to not let anywhere near your mail. It is, however, something quite unique to Att / Yahoo that does not exist until they became involved with the yahoo service.

• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!
