had to install a new HDD in my imac. How do I set up
Bought an iMac i5 opportunity. The hard drive has failed and had to be replaced. How I've implemented now, put El Capitan, etc. on it? When I got it I migrated all of my old iMac to him and the old iMac has everything on it, as a backup. Can I use Migration Wizard, or are there other steps I have to take first? Never did anything like this before. Any help out there?
What version of the OS was initially on the Mac and is on it now? The seller should have wiped the hard drive, if they have downloaded any version of the OS from the app store because the license for those associated with the Apple ID used to purchase and is not transferable.

Hello: I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC 6265US. Due to some problems, I had to replace the hard drive, I did. My laptop came pre-installed with Windows 7 64 bit, so I don't have a DVD to re - install from. I also have an external hard drive with backup, but it is useless until I installed Windows 7. Where and how can I find a program of Windows 7 to install on my system so that the latter will work again? Any help or ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Photosmart 130 for windows 7, had to install a new driver, now its photosmart 330. I followed the instructions but it will not print an image of the computer.
There is no Windows 7 driver for your printer, BUT...
HP provide instructions that should get your printer working at least... follow them to the letter...
BTW, the printer MUST be connected through a USB cable...

had to install the new operating system and bookmarks are gone
Hiya. I had problems with the computer and the fix was to install a new operating system (windows 7 it was old, windows 8 is the new). Most of my old files make the switch, but when I downloaded firefox, my favorites have disappeared. I looked in my profile in the menu, but it's the profile that I created today by downloading firefox. Where can I find my old profile? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Billy
Was this an upgrade of type "on the spot" where your user folder
C:\Users\youroldusername\
was intact, or did you end up with a new user folder? In the case of a new user folder, you will find a folder named
C:\Windows.old\Users\youroldusername\
If so, your Firefox data are probably here - and here's how I suggest to access:
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.

had to install the new hard drive, windows key does not
My hard drive died in my Inspiron 660. I ordered a new hard drive and a recovery Dell USB key. A recovery key for Windows 8 pro based on my recommended by Dell service tag. I installed the new drive and used the recovery key to install Windows 8 pro. I then used a third-party tool to get the product key from the BIOS. The product key does not work. I wonder if the product key on the BIOS isn't for Windows 8, Windows 8 pro. If so, the wrong recovery key recommended by Dell.
What should I do to activate Windows successfully?
Secondly, on my old drive hard, I had upgraded to Windows 10 while he was a free upgrade. How to bring back the free update?
Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 TH1 and TH2 had problems installing specific edition. Your key can be a simple language edition or one with Bing edition and therefore rejected by the installation of the edition of bad media.
Windows 10 TH2 and later all the windows 8.x and 7 OEM keys are treated as Windows 10 keys. Edition installation specific issues have been fixed with Windows 10 RS1. The file .iso Windows 10 RS1 image is covering several editions. It contains all OEM editions and will automatically collect a key Windows 8/8.1/10 UEFI BIOS OEM System Locked Preinstallation and automatically installs the correct edition of Windows 10:

How to install the new HDD on Satellite M70?
Hi, I have a Satellite M70 PSM75E, I want to move a hard drive of 250 GB, can give me instructions how to install and what type of disk HARD inface do I go?
Your help is appreciatedHello
It is difficult to say if the 500 GB will work in this good old classic... I think that 250GB should be sufficient for all applications you want to install.
However, you could try the 500 GB. If it doesn t work you can bring back to your computer store or you can test it directly in the shop. Then you'll know if it of an option for you or not. Be creative! ;)

I want to install the new HDD for Satellite 1410 303
Can I install the MK8032GAX HARD disk (80 GB Toshiba 2.5 "IDE, 5400 RPM, 16 MB) on my Toshiba Satellite 1410 303? BIOS will detect it?
Unfortunately there no document on this subject because the HARD drive upgrade is dealer so-called option, and because of this, there is no specific info on the upgrade of the HARD drive. According to the specifications of the laptop, this laptop model comes with 20 GB of HARD drive.
I'm sure you can use 40 or 60 GB without any problems. About 80 GB I won't speculate, but maybe someone has already tested and will post here in the next few days.
Good luck!

original title: upgrade hardrive
Hi all.
I recently bought a laptop Gateway M285/convertible. I seeks to increase the size of my hard drive and did not want to pass by and reinstall all software.
I heard that there are still some "ghost" image copy autour software and wanted to know what it would take if I go buy a hard drive, to copy the picture from the existing to the new drive and then simply drive insert the new drive and operate. Or is it possible?
I am running vista professional, sp2, I think (just what is the latest sp).
Thank you.
Locate the drive you want to buy the laptop for top-sizing of HD. Go to the web site of the manufacturer of the drive. Locate and download the software copy/clone your original drive to the new drive. Burn this on a DVD software by following the instructions provided. To copy the current drive. Then remove, insert the new drive and booting.
You will have a way to mount the new drive for the copy. For many, the best solution is to put it in an external enclosure USB-connect. When you remove the drive to replace the drive in the laptop, you can put the 'old' drive in as a backup, or, after you remove all the files once you are sure that the new drive works properly, use user files or backups systerm.
I probably gave more details that you need, but it is.
Good luck

I need to know how to re acrivare my prinrer wireless, itr says he is offline
If the printer is accessible and works and that your computer can reach it via the network, then most likely the printer has been set to ' offline '.
This can happen when you try to print to the printer when it is not reachable and it accumulates mainly of your printing until it is put online, or it can be done manually by changing the mode.
To change the mode back to "online" you will need to open your printers folder and right click on your printer and select "use printer online". You can also check your printer settings and make sure that the printer you want to use is the default printer (the default printer can also be defined by double-clicking the printer icon and choose "Set as default printer").

Problems installing the new hard drive OSX iMac G5 A1076
I have an Imac G5 A1076 model who needed a new hard drive
The hard drive for now I can not install the OS!
I formatted the hard drive using transmac on my Win 7 pc (since I don't have access to another mac)
I also bought the 10.3 disk 3 cd OSX Install discs.
When I put disc 1 in hold C and start the IMAC I get a gray screen with a gray circle with a line through it.
Maybe I was reading that this is caused by installing is not the correct OSX? I looked on everymac.com and found that it was originally shipped with os x 10.3.5
do I need to get a drive to 10.3.5? He will tell 10.3.5 the disk? my 10.3 that I bought new in the box never open just says 10.3.
Help, please!
You need the original computer disks or details of Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.5.6 DVD.
