• Satellite U400-124: is it possible to restore the operating system without the DVD

  I have a U400-124 I want to do a system restore.
  I created the Toshiba Recovery DVD but I don't have it with me (I'm in Italy and it is in the United Kingdom).

  I have three left:

  1 Vista (c :))
  2 WinRE (d :))
  3 data (e :))

  Is it possible to restore the operating system without the DVD?

  Also, what exactly are leaving them? I'm not wrong!
  1 Vista (c) - for the operating system
  2 WinRE (d) - is a hidden partition and it is necessary for the backup files in Vista
  3. data (E :) - contains the record of recovery

  Sorry for my lack of knowledge! Thanks for all your help in advance!

  > Is it possible to restore the operating system without the DVD?
  This is possible only if the second partition and HARD disk recovery file has not changed

  Start the Toshiba HDD recovery procedure by pressing the F8 key.
  A start menu should appear, then you should choose the first option called fix my computer.
  Then it should open a new window with an option called Toshiba recovery.
  Choose that and usually drive HARD recovery must begin.

• Possible to downgrade the operating system?

  Hello experts,

  My Macbook is a 13 "early 2009 (Core 2 Duo 2.0). I have 6 GB of RAM (recently installed the last 2 GB).  Currently, the operating system is OS X 10.11.3.  I think that since this OS has been installed (a few months ago) the machine has slowed down considerably.  "Outputs page" is almost always up.  I re - often starts to get "page outs" to reset, but they will soon get back to the top.  Almost any process bothers me a lot of activity "beachball".  My main use for this computer uses iPhoto to show slide shows to various groups (I have not found that the Photos should be for various reasons).

  I know that this is considered a 'old' machine, but since it is my secondary computer I would not spend the money on a complete replacement.  Is it possible to go back to an earlier version of Mac OS X? That could accelerate or put less strain on, this Macbook?  If I could go back to 10.10 or 10.9 How would I do it?

  Thank you

  Your computer will be not a faster were no you downgrade OS X. There's nothing wrong with El Capitan. Page Outs increase because you don't have enough RAM and try to run too many processes simultaneously.

  If you want to demote to an increase in performance, and then wipe the drive and install Snow Leopard.

• Satellite A60 overheating - not possible to recover the operating system

  Hey there,

  I'm almost certain I have a hardware problem with my Toshiba A60. Explorer.exe has stopped running, doing system restore helped for a while, but he just kept happening again. System Restore loses all its points of restore, safe mode did not help at all. I managed to back up everything and went to the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  He managed to kill everything on my internal hard drive (or at least enough that it no longer starts), but effective recovery program only happens to about 12% then goes to a black screen, it's the same thing if I try to use expert mode on the recovery CD. Also, the laptop overheats a lot. I am so sure that it's a hardware problem.

  In any case, according to the website my warranty expired 08/2005. I just wanted to know if there is any way I can contact Toshiba? Most of the companies at least listen to you if they sold you a product that overheats and breaks (even if he does that the expiration of the warranty).

  Yet, it was the closest I could find on a "Contact us" page (other than the all-in-one phone number). Even if I can't get it fixed for free I wanted to know if there was any kind of paid service. Can I get any help? With the contacting Toshiba, I have not the strength to try something new with my laptop now that he can only boot from a CD and that done correctly.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I contacted Toshiba service partner in my country if I had a problem with my laptop. I think you should also ask the authorized assistance service provider. Don t contact one of Toshiba because most of the time, go to the point service.

  I found this link that will help you find the right provider in your country:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?PF=true

  But if you laptop overheating then you should check the cooling modules, if there is no dust or / and debris. Especially books of overheating because the cooling modules will not twist correctly and the air circulation is compromised.

  Hey Buddy,

  First of all I must say that it of not possible to download the operating system. It s just preinstalled on your laptop and you can find it on Toshiba Recovery disk as well.

  If you don t have a recovery disc, you can order one from Toshiba but I m not 100% sure if it of possible old Equium A200. Just check the online store:

  If you can t order it, ask a service provider authorized in your country. Maybe they have such a disc and can give you.

  I don't want to add MIME types to FF, I want to change the window/dialog box that appears when I want to open a file with an application 'other '.

• Limited to the version of the operating system

  Is there a restriction on the version of the operating system that I can update my iPad to old mothers of?  In iTunes, it says that there is no update.  It's on iOS 5.1.1 but when I try to install a game to her, it says that I need at least version 7.1.  I guess the age of the iPad, MB292LL model, he can't possibly run the latest version of the operating system.  Please tell me I'm wrong.

  If she maxed out at 5.1.1 so this is a first generation iPad and Yes, unfortunately it can no longer be improved. Later this year when iOS10 comes out there will be additional models that can not be upgraded from 9 to 10.

  What you can try, never sync you your iPad to iTunes? If you try to download that game via iTunes if there is a version of the application remains compatible with 5.1.1 then who should download on iTunes and then you can sync it on the iPad.

  If they are not then you may just be stuck. The model of the iPad 1 is 5 years old, unfortunately, unless the users already have apps on it can be difficult to find a compatible more

• Impossible to download and reinstall the operating system after erasing HD

  Yesterday morning, my iMac won't start.  It was fine the night before.

  The progress bar reaches about two thirds to three quarters of the way to the end when the bar of progress disappears and I find myself with a gray screen. It does this by starting too.

  I followed the advice of Linc Davis at https://discussions.apple.com/message/21333265 (hash) 21333265 (Note - I can't find the symbol of hash on my keyboard key so if you if know where he is, please replace by in the link - oh (hash) and tell me where it's too please ;-)).

  I started the Revovery volume (now here actually).  Run Disk Utility/First aid finds no problem with MacIntosh HD (my boot drive). I can't find how to repair permissions.  The option no longer seems to be there. Reset NVRAM has nothing else that makes the iMac wonder my preferred language.

  I used download and reinstall OS option.  The first time I tried to re-download El Capitan, it took 15 minutes and 45 minutes to install.  Installation failed leaving me to the grey screen again.  I think that the Setup program itself was trying to restart the iMac when he got stuck in the same place I'm stuck.  I left it there for about six hours before I tried to restart manually.

  Tried to download the operating system again. This time, it was after using the recovery volume, select MacIntosh HD, by using erasing, then the option reinstall in THE.

  I did two times now.  The first time I tried 'Erase and re - install' the download bar has got to a point about a third of the way across, and then he stopped. Time of download bar gradually got more and more long, up to what I canceled it (when the display estimated download time is six and a half).  The internet connection was problematic, or the Mac had stopped download (similar to the earier progress bar).  The second attempt to delete and download, the download bar has not yet started to progress.

  My HARD drive has several volumes.

  1. The most important. My MacIntosh HD with OS 10.11.4 - El Capitan.
  2. The second, MacIntosh HD 2, is about 50 GB, a Mavericks installed on it.
  3. The third is 10.11.4 recovery volume.
  4. The fourth is another volume of recovery for the Mavericks.
  5. There is another called eDrive bulkhead.

  Apart from MacIntosh HD, with none of these volumes I problems in starting up (with the possible exception of the Mavericks resumed, that I have not tried to access all since the update to El Capitan).

  I used first aid utility disk several times, and no problems have been reported. I used the version of El Capitan permanently.

  I can't understand why, after erasing the MacIntosh HD to do it again, I can't get the iMac to download the MacOS and reinstall.

  A couple of clues-

  • After his clear utility drive always reports what is MacIntosh HD. (When I restart, the dialog "Select Start Drive" only shows the volume of the Mavericks and eDrive)
  • Disk utility also shows "Apple Disk Image/OS X Base System."  OF THE said that it is ejection. But this button does not work.  I suspect it's what might stop download me the installer and start again.

  I used e-drive to check the iMac and, in particular, the drive HARD; even performed a surface scan.  No problems have been reported.

  Your 2007 iMac is too old to download OS X, you need to install OS X since the recovery partition directly. If this does not work then Yes, something is wrong with your HD run Apple Hardware Test Mode Extended 2 - 3 times back to back, if errors appear which confirms what I said. You will need the original DVD that came with the computer in order to run it.

• How to create only a recovery of the operating system?

  I understand Recovery Manager installs everything, including the factory etc. applications. I just bought a new HP desktop computer and I am interesting to have only an operating system recovery disks or method to install OS only from the recovery disc.

  Is this possible?

  If this is not the case-how can I get support for the operating system that came with the computer?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You should find that you have the ability to perform a system restore minimized when you use Recovery Manager who will just reinstall the operating system and the original, but without the additional software drivers.

  However, what I think personally is a better option is to create a System Image - the main advantage of this is that you can get the operating system exactly as you wish (all updates/service packs applied, all software installed, personal files, etc.) and then create the image.  This way, if you need to reinstall, you get the PC to exactly the State in which it was when you created the image.  It's even easier with Windows 7, as the possibility of creating a System Image is built.  See the guide below for details.

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/4241/how-to-create-a-system-image-in-Windows-7/

  I strongly recommend to always create your recovery discs - you are not too sure.

  Is there a way out as more complication dvd player does not.

  Hello

  I think that you have formatted the HARD drive. Is this good?
  The lack of OPERATING SYSTEM message is clear that there is no OS on the HARD drive

  The solution is simply. you need to reinstall the operating system

  Now the question is;
  Do you have a recovery disk or other drives that allow you to reinstall Win XP? You need an OS disk to reinstall the operating system on the HARD drive

  Second if your CD/DVD drive does not work then you might try to copy somehow folder i386 to the Win XP disk on your HARD drive.
  You can then use the winnt.exe command to start the installation of Win XP

  This is only one possibility to install Win XP without CD/DVD drive
