• reformatting laptop computer ("could not unmount disk')

  Hi all

  I gave my mom my 2009 MBP and reformatted the drive. She didn't use it and I tried to reformat then I had my name and ID on it and ended up having to bring the genius bar because I couldn't get out to 'one-grey' PARTITION tab turns out I had to BOOT OPTION on the hard drive recovery in order to reformat the drive of the user (or whatever we call it).

  the problem is that I brought home and he had a password that I was not able to remember.

  so I thought I'd REFORMAT in OPTION STARTING in the hard drive recovery.

  now when I go to the PARTITION tab I try to reformat to one partition and I get an error "could not remove the disc.

  can someone help me find a way to get this disk to a new facility with no connection so I can make it work with her again?

  Thanks in advance

  You can try and use the original CD-ROM of your operating system to format your drive, or you can create a bootable USB drive and reformat your hard disk from there. By starting in something other than the computer's hard drive, you can work around the disk to remove error.

  Create an installer for OS X - Apple support bootable

  Use the version of Mac OS X included with your Mac, or a more recent compatible version - Apple Support

  I hope this helps!

• Reformatting laptop computer with Windows pre-installed 8

  Hi all!

  Recently I bought Lenovo Y500 with pre-installed Windows 8. I've never used Windows before 8 and this is my first time ever affected by it. I understand that Microsoft no longer use the activation key of conventional product with Windows 8 pre installed devices. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the activation key is now encrypted and incorporated in the BIOS itself. I also understand that there is a feature of system recovery and even a Clean-Install feature in Windows 8 and Windows 8 would automatically read the activation key in the BIOS while being reinstalled.
  I have read all those who want to reinstall Windows 8 and that the clean install would often suggested, but what happens if I want to reformat the laptop in all, completely destroy everything, delete existing partitions and reinstall Windows 8 after that? From a technical point of view, reformatting and repartitioning shouldn't affect the BIOS, and so I guess that if I had to reinstall Windows 8 after reformatting and repartitioning, installing Windows 8 should read the key of Activation of the BIOS always automatically and activate at the first internet connection. Or am I wrong?
  On a side note, when I bought my laptop, it did not come with the disk Installation of Windows 8, so if I had to reformat and reinstall, where I'd get the file of Installation of Windows 8? Am I supposed to download from the Microsoft Web page (if there is even a link to download it) and burn the image to a blank disc and use it to install?
  Best regards & thanks!

• reformat the computer laptop and printer lost drive

  Hello

  I lost my installation disc and had to reformat my computer, so I can't scan anymore. Y at - it somewhere that I can get this software from for a photosmart b110a.

  Thank you very much

  Lee

  The drivers for the Photosmart b110a can be downloaded from HP here.  Enter your operating system, then, then you patients the ability to download drivers and updates.  You can also order the CD media or USB if you want, but they shouldn't be necessary unless you have a very slow internet connection.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello
  
  1. except if you have deleted the recovery partition on your machine, your machine must have a recovery partition. Make sure all your backup files before you restore the PC/laptop to the factory settings.
  
  To set your PC/laptop to the factory settings, restart the PC/laptop. At HP Home screen has reached repeatly F11 (or ESC) key to start the recovery process. Follow the instructions on the screen.

  2 my suggestion: keep Windows 7, you will not be disappointed with Windows 8. But if you want, Microsoft has a tool that resembles the Advisor Windows 7 to Windows 8 called Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard. Please download the wizard and run it on your computer:
  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/upgrade-to-Windows-8

  You must purchase the upgrade to Windows 8 Microsoft (download) or many computer stores (DVD).

  Kind regards.

• I just be reformatted my computer and now when I turn on my lap top it takes a user name and password

  my computer aka the computer dell laptop starts, but before it goes to the screen of welcome I have to logg microsoft XP and I don't know the user name and password

  Original title: I just reformatted my computer and now when I turn on my lap top there need a username and password and I have no idea what is it please can someone help me

  If you reformatted your computer / reinstalled Windows XP, then you entered an administrator password twice, possibly with a security issue, or you have left all these blanks.

  Try:

  -Username: admin - password:
  -Just to fill the area of the administrator user and press enter

  In addition, if you load to the Welcome screen, now try the CTRL + ALT key and tap DEL twice.  This should give you CTRL + ALT + DEL logon box.

• After syncing firefox from one laptop computer to the other, I repeatedly get syncted phone has the same IP address as the original. Reverse?

  One of the results of these two laptops with the same IP address was that the original laptop computer proxy settings have been changed and I could not get into the internet. After you restore the default proxy settings, I again had access to the internet, but two laptops always have the same IP address.

  You do not use DHCP to automatically assign different IP addresses?

• I downloaded iTunes on a new laptop computer and he allowed. First of a süden, I can't sync my iPhone 6. What can I do?

  I downloaded iTunes on a new laptop computer and he allowed. All of a sudden, I can't sync my iPhone 6. What can I do?

  If your iOS device does not appear in iTunes, try the following:

  1. Open Control Panel > Device Manager
  2. Plug in your device
  3. Locate Bus USB Controllers > Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
     It is also possible that the device may appear under imaging devices, portable devices or other devices or as a device USB of MTB.
     
  4. Right-click and select software update of the driver...
  5. Click Browse my computer for driver software
  6. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support\Drivers or
     C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers

  Plug in the appliance. You should hear the telltale Windows sound device connection and a Division must acquire a new entry. This should be your device. It cannot be labelled properly at this point. If you do not hear a suspicious noise cable damaged.

  Or try If iTunes does not your iPad, iPhone or iPod - Apple Support Apple version of the above opinion.

  If not try a complete tear down and rebuild iTunes in accordance with the resolution of the problems with iTunes for Windows updates. 64-bit users might also try the build replacing iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for older video cards) which is sometimes a useful workaround.

  Or try to go back to the last version of iTunes that has worked for you. See the programs installation of iTunes to download links. If you roll back to 12.4.0.119 to 12.3.3.17 or 12.3.2.35, for example, then you will also need restore the database of the library in the manner described in the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library. The tip makes suggestions to reintroduce recent purchases, so at worst, you lose a few meters or a newly created playlist.

• I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

  I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

  If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.

  As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.

  At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it.  We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.

• Direct print from laptop computer connection

  I have a laptop HP with windows 7 32 bit and the designjet 650 c B model with an installed direct jet card, so I a usb converter cable network I want to print from a usb port or from the port of network cable. I just want to know what is called the port that I use? Help, please!

  You have a wireless router?  I have a Designjet 650 c connected to my router with a LAN cable, can I access the 650 c of my HP laptop wireless via the router.

  If you follow this path, you will get an IP address for the Designjet 650 c by selecting Prev in the menu until you get to the entrance, the top menu can go down three times for installing I/O, entry, entry (modular), entrance (network Cfg = >), down Yes, Prev, Prev, Prev, entrance, entry, down arrow twice for utilities Entry, arrow down twice for Config plot, Enter.

  That you select the jetdirect card like I/O device, get an IP address from the router and then print a configuration page that displays the IP address to halfway to the bottom of the page.

  On laptop computer click Start, devices and printers, do a right-click on the Designjet 650 c, printer, port properties, add a Port, Port TCP/IP Standard, new Port, following, then enter the IP config page printed.  For me, it comes to 192.168.1.13.  Enter the appropriate value, Next, Finish.

  If you do not have a router then consider making an inexpensive wireless router that could be wired to the Designjet and wireless for the laptop.  It would probably be a much better solution than to try to make a converter USB - lan.

• HP15-g088ca: HP 15 laptop computer purchased less than 2 years ago. Broken hinge, display cases of separation. HP, please help.

  My son uses his laptop computer HP15 home to his office, rarely transporting.  He never gave it and a sweet user.

  The left hinge seems to be broken / defective, and separates the window.  For now, we are all leaving the screen open all the time, but it's a little awkward and the problem is certainly on a laptop less than 2 years old.

  Looking at the forum, it looks like a common problem.

  We are fans of HP in general, so I hope that this problem can be solved.

  Help, please.

  -Steve

  Hooray!

  HP solved the problem free of charge, including shipping in both directions and repair.

  It took ten days in total, and we used the laptop without a problem for about 10 days more.

  It seems that the hinges for laptop and the display case were entirely replaced, and no data has been lost.

  My son is thrilled to have his laptop in return, and to my eyes, HP just went through.

  I wouldn't hesitate to buy another HP product, although I confess in the hope that:

  (1) HP manufacuring no longer uses defective parts

  (2) HP treats everyone with this problem of hinge with the same care

  Thank you and HP support HP!

• Satellite A210 - 1 4 - failed to start the laptop computer just orange light

  OK, so this is what happened:

  While my friend was working on his laptop computer that she had his charger plugged but it did not load. I discovered that the lead from the Charger AC/DC had frayed and should resolidering. After that the laptop was working fine, I looked inside the laptop to check the AC plug connector before I fixed the cable.

  I noticed that the WiFi card was broke, so I changed it to a WiFi card in my other laptop used. After back the laptop together and put the battery in, the lights on the front flash blue only and the power light stays orange as if the laptop is in stand-by mode. I can hear the hard drive turns and the CPU heats more CD-ROM drive works, but I can't start that the laptop just sits there with the Orange.

  I tried out the CMOS battery, I took out the main battery and just used the AC/DC adapter, but the same thing happens.

  ANY IDEAS?

  Hello!

  I'm not sure, but what happens if you remove the WiFi card you created in? The new card is may be defective or not compatible with the laptop.
  You can start without WiFi card?

  To me, it looks like a hardware problem and your laptop should be checked by a technician of the laptop. Maybe the motherboard needs to be replaced or something else

  Good bye

• cannot print on IPad but will be printed on IPhone and laptop computer HP

  cannot print on IPad but will be printed on IPhone and laptop computer HP
  How can I get the Ipad for printing follow-up after it shows the document sent to the printer?

  Hi ddavid1,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I believe that when you send a print job from your iPad to your color Laserjet 200 printer MFP M276nw, it does print ever.

  I have included the Apple Mobile Devices (AirPrint): Document Print or is stuck in the print queue document. I know that you are able to print from your iPhone, but please start with a Solution in the document. I have also included the document to print from an Apple device . In the section 'With Apple's AirPrint printing', he has advice on using AirPrint and what it takes.
