Thank you

Hi squatch97402!

Welcome to the community of Sony!

Upgrading the operating system or using a version commercial is still the choice of the customer, but we cannot give you the assurance that you won't encounter problems. Be sure to download the correct driver for the operating system of law. PCG 7R2L is not the name of the exact model, it is the name of the laptop chassis. Please check the model name/number, then access the eSupport site to download drivers.

I hope this helps.

Best regards

Vincent

  • directions to clean install MacOS Sierra

    I'll install MacOS Sierra like many of you, but I won't update or upgrade, I want to do a 'Clean Install' on my iMac to the retina. There are several small, painful on ranging from the questions that no ONE at Apple was able to help with. I'm sped to start again and I hope after a month or two AFTER Sierra is released and immediate bugs will be crushed and then I can make the trip. Since Sierra is a new file system, I hope that everything will be good in the rim. This way my two hundred concerts (or almost) of music plays without hiccup and my huge photo library will play too nice!

    There are several "how to" out in WEB land, but honestly, each of them is a little confusing. I do not understand why Apple insists on not to put an accurate Concise Guide, step by step. My burlap as 1st Sergeant used to explain in the body when something needed to explain. We said, ' Let explain me it like Barney. Referring to Barney Fife. In other words, super easy. I was going to buy an eBook take control books Scholle McFarland. I wonder what any of you think of the great guru?

    Yes I use Time Machine. Yes, I have backed up Photos and iTunes separately. I'll do the same thing to my documents and email (not sure one).

    Appreciate some guidance.

    This isn't a bad guide... http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/01/clean-install-OS-x-El-Capitan-Mac/

    Just replace the name of 'El Capitan' with 'macOS Sierra.

    FWIW, the upgrade can not get rid of your "hard" problems, according to what they are.

I did what I think, that's all I can: clean install of El Capitan (another problem); Reinstall the software of Canon from the CD; same impression reset - my printer shows not yet up! I tried LAN and USB.  No luck at all. The printer does not yet appear upward on the tree of USB in the reporting system.

    This looks more like a bad USB cable or bad printer.

  • Clean install of El Capitan on iMac 2011

    I have just bought a new iMac and want to give my iMac 2011 to a friend. I would give it as if it had been purchased in an Apple store - El Capitan as the operating system with the apps that come with the purchase. The older iMac runs Yosemite.

    I did this before time, three years ago, but the manual missing on El Capitan suggests that a clean install is much more difficult.

    I ask to help anyone can offer to make this process as simple, easy and quick as possible.

    Thanks in advance,

    John Kendrick

    See > what to do before you sell or give away your Mac - Apple Support

    Basically, you need to install the original Lion OS X for this system using OS X Recovery and let your friend update to El Capitan.

  • I'd be able to do a clean install of El Capitan * without * destroy my Windows partition?

    I bought this media 2011 27 "iMac used earlier this year as a refurb from a dealer. It came with El Capitan installed, but I have the feeling that they had a facility upgrade compared to a clean install. The computer suffers from slow start and loading slow program (but once it loads then its fine). It's the same with my old iMac when I did an upgrade to Leopard years ago snow leopard, and erase the disk and performing a clean install OSX (and put files and programs back with Time Machine) has solved these problems then. So I thought it wouldn't hurt to try a clean install on this machine.

    But read the tutorials I noticed that if you are not the first owner of the computer, then you cannot install updates OSX without resetting the computer? Although I WAS able to install the OS via the App Store updates (and I thought that I linked my Apple ID to the machine when I put initially in place), won't install not mean I should be able to clean, or it will have to be completely reset?

    Yes, I've run disk utility and checked my HHD drive, it works fine. The entire machine is nice and quiet, not making abnormal sounds or perform exceptionally, it's just really the slow start in OSX and slow loading programs that are the problem.

    I also recently created a Windows partition and installed Windows 8.1. It starts and runs decently faster than OSX, so I think it's just a problem with OSX and not the HHD himself and do a clean install will be hopefully solve problems. This computer has given me a lot of grief, creating a partition to install Windows 8.1 (unlike my old iMac) so wouldn't really really really have to wipe the HHD together to "change the property" and having to mess with which once again...

    It 'sounds' like since the app store IS letting me install OS and updates to program with my Apple, I SHOULD be able to start in the RecoveryHD Partition and ID here to make a new install of Mac OS x on * just * my existing Mac partition. And this should not erase my * any * HHD, just the Mac partition. I'll save my whole Windows partition just to be safe, however. I could not find a guide which deals specifically with only reset the OSX partition and not wipe out Windows in the process, so I want to make sure I have my facts straight. I had planned on OSX reset and then restore my files with Time Machine. However, I also want to assure you that this will allow me to go even and reset the OS in the first place, given that I am not the original owner of the iMac and I don't know if they reset it correctly.

    Sorry for the extremely long question and TIA!

    Open the Mac App Store, make sure that you are signed in with your Apple ID and click on the purchase tab to see if El Capitan is associated with your Apple ID. If this isn't the case, you will need to download it so it will be associated with your Apple ID. If this is the case, you are all ready.

    Are updates to OS X, not the buyer, so you can install all the updates, but the OS needs to be associated with your Apple ID.

    I'm not sure about Windows, how did you install Windows? With Boot Camp? You should be able to clone on another drive (if you have one) using Clonezilla. Then wipe and reinstall El Capitan and put in place the Boot Camp partition and clone back.

  • Firefox hangs during "refresh firefox" after clean install

    Firefox crashes while loading page about 1 to 10. When a page causes the crash, she does repeatedly. I went through the docs to support associated with accidents and don't know what else to do. I missed something?

    -A clean install has no effect.
    -Firefox Safe Mode still shows the crash.
    -The problem has existed for several versions. (I was hoping it was a known issue.)
    -The procedure of "refresh firefox" actually causes the same behavior of crash.

  • I inadvertanly did a clean install of W7 without saving the existing bookmarks

    I forgot to mark a backup of bookmarks for a USB before you do a clean install of W7 to my computer.
    There is a "Windowsold" folder that has put the facility on drive C. is possible to recover bookmarks?

    If you C:\Windows.old, you can be lucky.

    First of all, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

    Then click in:

    Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

    Note: there is a cache under AppData\Local folder, but everything important is under AppData\Roaming.

    Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably one you want to restore.

    This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect these data in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

    https://support.Mozilla.org/questions/1024189#answer-638319

    A little luck?

    Note that if you really ONLY want to bookmark, copy the last two backups of the old bookmarkbackups folder to a location such as the desktop, see the following article (you will use 'Choose file' in the menu to access these backups): restoring bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Note that this process will replace all new bookmarks that you may have saved since installing Firefox again. If you need to preserve those, first use the export feature: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks.

  • Clean install on Windows 7 SP1 x 64. Tools / Options-&gt; AppHangB1

    I use Firefox for years, but I can't find a way to work around this problem. The problem started after I upgraded to v38.0.5 but I tried to go back to v35.0 and it has not solved the problem. I tried the safe mode and finally uninstalled, delete Mozilla registry entries and performed a clean installation. I am still unable to view the options.

    As soon as I click on Tools / Options menu I get an AppHangB1. Initially, the problem manifests itself by trying to add attachments in Gmail. A large part of the browser works, I write this problem in Firefox, but some actions cause the browser to hang. The easiest to reproduce is Tools / Options, the showshopper will not be able to upload / download files.

    I hope someone knows how I can get firefox to work again. I am running without the extensions, just a clean install.


  • Synchronization problems with the clean install

    Hello.

    Is it possible to push the content of my iPhone to my computer? (and not the other way around)

    Recently, I did a clean install on my Mac Pro and trying to get everything in working order. I got a load of music and voice notes on my iPhone that I don't want to lose, but the only way iTunes will allow me to manage the content of my phone is erasing all the content on my phone to sync to the 'new' library

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    A new installation of the operating system shouldn't have deleted personal data files unless you want to say that you have done more than a "clean install". You do not install the data files.  Looks like that erase you the iTunes library file and it was a big mistake because it is towards this specific copy of the file iTunes Library.itl that tries to sync your phone.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not that a transfer backup device and media has been planned with you keep a master copy of your media on a computer that is in itself independently supported against loss.  To use a device with a different configuration, you pass the old library from a computer or a backup directly in the new configuration, not the device to the library. Synchronization of media isn't a way, computer device, update the contents of the device to the content on the computer, update or restore the content on a computer from a device. The exception is media to iTunes Store purchases that can be transferred to a computer.

    Re-download or transfer your purchases iTunes Store for the iPhone, iPad or iPod to computer - https://support.apple.com/HT201267 - 'this feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. From iOS9 is more apps that now need to be re-downloaded directly from the store.

    To transfer other items from an i-device to a computer, you will need to use third-party commercial software.  See this document in turingtest2: recover your iTunes library from your iPod or device iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 even this method can fully recover what you originally had in the library. For example, in order to save space during synchronization if you had converted music files at a lower rate, or photos at a lower resolution, it is these lower quality files that will pick you up.

    If you subscribe to the Apple music, titles that are not part of the content that you have purchased or downloaded may not be transferred and must be downloaded directly from iCloud.

    To see other items: import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - https://support.apple.com/HT201302 - are those you have taken yourself.

  • Clean install Thunderbird on old computer

    Recently, I moved to a new computer and try to clean install Thunderbird on the old computer to another user. I read in this forum to remove the data file that contains all of the old information. I did, but now Thunderbird opens. I get a message telling me that there is no personal data (or words to that effect) to associate with the program.

    I tried to download Thunderbird again, but it will not always be open. I would appreciate help with this, because the person I give the old computer is more eager to start with email on this subject.

    Thank you very much!

  • Backups Time Machine missing after model clean install

    For a Mac using Time Machine to back up, is there a way to clean install OS X for a new internal SSD and keeps backups Time Machine historical which have been made using the previous internal SSD?  While as I use it to back up the new internal SSD TM, TM will show the backup history of both the previous internal SSD and the new (up to the capacity of the disc from the TimeCapsule).

    MacBookPro8, 2 I used Time Machine on a time Capsule TB 3 towards the rear for 2 years. No problems and shows 2.24 available 3 TB.

    Last night I did a clean model 10.11.5 install a new SSD, and a transfer application, the user accounts Migration Wizard, etc. Since the previous flash SSD disk internal (format / installed the new SSD, attached to the internal SSD previous via USB flash disk, then started in Recovery Mode to clean the installation model to the new internal SSD and when prompted did the previous internal SSD Migration Assistant).

    Everything no problem above went very well. But now when I "TimeMachine enter", I see that the most recent backup made (before the clean install).  The right navigation (which goes in reverse chronological order of the lower part of the screen to the top) seems to show the date on which the previous backups have been identified.  But if I click on a date, TM Finder main window does not scroll from that date. The top / arrow down buttons to the right of the main window of Finder TM also do not respond to clicks.

    So far as I can tell, I've lost all TM backups except the most recent. I have all saved data elsewhere outside time Capsule, so between that and the 1 backup, I can see in TM I have not lost anything.

    If I had done the Migration Wizard from the TimeCapsule rather than the previous internal SSD flash drive, would that have kept all historical TM backups?

    Thanks for any idea

    Time Machine, please press the shift-command-C key combination. The windshield will show the mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and search for files to restore.

    If you need to restore from a backup of the hidden user library folder, first select a snapshot, and then press shift-command-G. A go to the folder dialog box opens. In this document, you enter the path to the folder. The dialog box will help you by automatically filling parts of the path when you start typing.

    The path starts with the slash character ("/"). Enter that. The rest of the parts is separated by slashes.

    The next part is the date and time of the current snapshot. Enter a '2', and the rest of the date should be filled in automatically. Press the right arrow key to access the end of the path. Enter a slash to start the next game.

    Next is the volume name (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you assigned a different name.) Start typing, then jump to the end and enter a slash.

    The next part is 'Users', followed by a slash.

    Then is your short user name. It is also the name of your home folder, which is represented by an icon of the House in the sidebar of a Finder window.

    Finally, enter "Library", and then press return. You should now be in the library folder. From there, you can move like in the Finder. You can also select another snapshot of the same folder.

  • Clean install / restore to fail Internet

    I'll put up a 2010 MacBook Pro start as new for a next project. After erasing HD for a clean install, the installer returned a message that says El Capitan could not be verified or may have been corrupted. I resorted to the recovery of the internet, but this is also a message that El Capitan can not be installed due to an error. I don't have a backup time machine small enough to drive on the Mac - is it possible forward here?

    Thanks in advance...

    stop,

    Disconnect all external devices

    Reboot into recovery mode

    If the internal collection fails try internet recovery

    for best results, connect your mac directly to your router/modem and suspend any transmission from other devices on your network that can be download or steam.

    I recently got my first Mac - one Macbook 2016. I tried on El Capitan, and I still much prefer Windows, I'm looking to install on Mac.

    I've read through bootcamp for double installation, but largely, I would prefer to perform a new installation on Windows (I have a copy of Windows 8.1 Pro with a license key). I can't determine whether or not it is recommended and I would appreciate it if someone could clarify it for me.

    My understanding is that: -.

    (1) it is possible to completely remove OSX and have a clean install of Windows.

    (2) OSX (in my case, El Capitan) can be reinstalled at a later date without extra cost (i.e. free) using the OSX installer.

    (3) install or remove Windows OSX will not affect my warranty the warranty is of Apple hardware.

    One of the main concerns seems to be none using Bootcamp means pilots Apple for Windows will not automatically available. I heard some mention that these drivers may actually now be downloaded separately on the Apple site and installed directly on the machine once Windows is in place. Can someone confirm this please?

    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope can get definitive information and I can move on Windows soon.

    You are right. You can remove OS X and only keep the windows, but it has some disadvantages, to know before doing this. Apart from this, Internet recovery will let you install OS X at any time even if you have deleted the recovery partition, and you will not have to pay for OS x: OS X is free and is already registered for your Apple ID.

    Drivers, Boot Camp Assistant (an application, you can find in/Applications/Utilities) leads you through the first steps before you install Windows on your Mac, and one of them is to download the drivers for your Mac requires and put them in a USB key. However, you may need to OS X to get latest driver versions.

    Instead of completely removing the OS X, I suggest to allocate more space to Windows, but keep OS X in a small partition. By doing this, you will always be able to update the drivers (where you need OS X to do) and you will have fewer problems getting OS X in the future if you want to delete Windows.

    Finally, don't forget to make a backup of your files before you install Windows on your Mac. You may need it in case something goes wrong with the Windows installation.
