GE70 and Windows 8.1 Update

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone has managed to update their GE70 running a pre-installed Windows 8 64bit to the Windows 8.1 that Microsoft rolled out.
The update shows up in the Store but download doesn't seem to start.
I tried downloading the ISO using my product key but apparently I can't use it to download a retail version.
Any insight/advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Sort of. I did not try the update on the pre-loaded Win8, in fact I formatted my GE70-20E within 5 minutes of opening the box and loaded a clean install of Windows 8 Professional.
I then installed 8.1 the day it came out without any trouble since.
I do know that if you'd loaded 8.1 preview you may have to start over, that is not a notebook or MSI thing though.

  • Software Update Point doesn't show Win 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 updates

    I started deploying Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter servers and some Windows 8.1 workstations. I wanted to make sure that my Software Update Point was downloading updates available to those OS's and after going in to Administration -> Overview -> Site Configuration
    -> Sites -> Configure Site Components -> Software Update Point, I notice that those OS's weren't available to select. 
    I then did some searches on the web and thought my problem was two fold:
    1 - I was using SCCM 2012 SP1. 
    2 - My SCCM 2012 Software Update Point was on a Win 2008 R2 server
    So the first thing I did was upgrade from SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2. I then created a Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter server and installed WSUS on it. I then added the server as a Site System Server, added the Software Update Point to it and configured it.
    Unfortunately, this still didn't help me as you can see from the screen shots below:
    What am I doing wrong and what needs to be done to have all the updated Operating Systems and Microsoft Software added to my Product list?

    To follow on to narcoticoo's statement, have you actually initiated a catalog sync from within the ConfigMgr console yet? If so, has it completed successfully (you can check the moniotring workspace or you can watch the wsyncmgr.log).

    I just ran a Synchronize Software Updates from ConfigMgr Console. I then went Monitoring -> Software Update Point Sync Status. It's showing my new WSUS server ( 2012 R2 ) but it's not showing any updates are being sync'd through it. See this screen shot:
    I then went to the wsyncmgr.log file on my site server which is the OLD WSUS server ( Win 2008 R2 ) and say this:

    It appears to me that when doing a Sync, it's still trying to use my OLD WSUS server instead of my new one. I removed the Software Update Point from the OLD WSUS server and uninstalled WSUS from it. I'm not sure why it's still trying to sync from the old
    server rather than the new one. Any ideas?
    Thanks... Frank

  • AnyConnect and Windows 8.1 Update issue

    I have an ISA550W deployed at our office locations. For remote access I am testing AnyConnect v3.1.05187. The laptops I'm testing on have Windows 8.1 Pro Update with all of the latest patches as of this post.
    I read the release notes and as a consequence made sure WinPcap is not installed and the service non-existent.
    I have run the MicrosoftFixit25005.
    When I installed AnyConnect I unchecked the options for "Diagnostic and Reporting Tool", "Network Access Manager", & "Web Security".
    Here is the problem; upon initial install it works flawlessly even without a reboot after running the installer. BUT if the OS is rebooted, it gives the following error: "The service provider in your current location is restricting access to the internet. You need to log on with the service provider before you can establish a VPN session. You can try this by visiting any website with your browser."
    Bollox! lol.
    Now I can confirm that sometimes it takes a couple reboots or even until the next day for it to be broken. But all I have to do is uninstall everything, reinstall it and it works, all with no reboot after uninstall or reinstall.
    So why does this thing just decide to break its self?

    Anyone have any ideas? This is a major pain to everyone in our company that works remotely.
    Perhaps someone could even just walk me thru how to produce a log to post here that may help, although I doubt it since I can't predict on which reboot it will break.
    Surely someone else has had this issue or there is a known resolution for it? Please help!
    Thanks! Alex

    2. Error message on reboot:  Unable to start the Dolby audio driver.  Please restart the computer or reinstall the driver if the problem persists.  There is not any action center messages regarding Dolby.
    In both situations the device manager reports drivers are all working properly.  There is not any yellow warning triangles visible.
    If someone can identify the correct driver/software I can download and install that would be great.  Telephone support was difficult to understand and thus no help.
    Thanks,

    These are the Win 8.1 drivers that you mentioned. All you have to do is to click "Support: Drivers and Download" and select "Drivers and Software" and select the model of your unit. Under operating system select Win 8.1. Uninstall with  Delete option the present drivers before installing the new drivers.

  • Windows 8.1 - Update consideration, resources, and known issues

     
    This community KB article is being consolidated to help Lenovo customers who are early adopters of the Windows 8.1 update.  This article will be frequently updated to include information on recommendation on issues that have been reported and are currently being addressed by Lenovo product teams.   It is recommended that a backup of all data be made prior to starting the Windows 8.1 update.
    Official Lenovo Windows 8 and 8.1 Support resources - list of officially supported systems, information on license keys, activation, upgrade / downgrade rights and more.  
    Update Drivers before upgrading to Windows 8.1. At this time Lenovo recommends that customers who are planning to install the Windows 8.1 update, first update to the latest version of device drivers and BIOS on the Lenovo support site and apply Windows updates.   Lenovo customers who are using ThinkPad, ThinkStation, ThinkCentre systems may elect to use the System Update to accomplish the Lenovo driver updates before updating to Windows 8.1.  System update 5.03 should be used.  If system update is downlevel, it should first update itself to version 5.03.  Windows 8.1 drivers are being packaged and made available for automated install through System Update; therefore initially a limited number of 8.1 updates may be reported through System update.   Updated drivers can still be installed manually by downloading from the support site.  Lenovo is currently working on the release and availability of Windows 8.1 drivers through system update.   
    Not finding 8.1 drivers for officially supported models on the Lenovo support site?  The driver list for some systems ( Helix for example) currently reflect a mix of drivers for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.  The Windows 8 drivers should work and have been tested, and compatibility designations are being revised to clearly reflect compatibility with Windows 8.1.  This updating of descriptions is expected to complete in early November
    SOLVED -SecureBoot advisory message appears in lower right corner of the screen after updating to Windows 8.1.  This appears to occur if SecureBoot was not enabled when the update was installed.  This community article may help resolve the issue. Microsoft has released an official solution here
    Windows 8.1 update is not listed in the Microsoft Store.   There are certain prerequisites that must be installed before the Windows 8.1 update will be installed.   Be sure to run Windows update and install all updates.  Reboot according to instructions, then re-launch the Windows Store and select Microsoft Windows 8.1 update.  For additional information on updating from the Microsoft Windows 8.1 preview to Windows 8.1 click here.  If the Windows 8.1 update is still not available, please visit support.microsoft.com
    Windows 8.1 update fails with an error code. Try to refresh and ensure all Windows updates have been applied.  If a backup of all data has already been made, customers may elect to reset back to factory, perform all Windows updates, update Lenovo drivers, and then attempt the Windows 8.1 update again.  Please note: Reset back to factory will wipe out all data.
    SOLVED - Black Screen with flashing pointer after install on some hybrid graphics equipped  systems , S440/540, T430/530    W530 could potentially be affected.   This issue has been addressed and Windows 8.1 updates on these models conducted after 10/29/13 should proceed normally.  A Lenovo support tip for S series has been released to assist any previously affected customers. Another tip for T430/530 and W530 series is available,  too.

    I have a z580 Ideapad that came with Windows 8.0. Some materials on the Lenovo site indicate that this laptop should not be updated to Windows 8.1 due to provides with the video driver, other materials indicate that it is OK. Has the video driver issue been resolved? Are there other Windows 8.1 upgrade issues? Maybe I should avoid problems and just stay with WIndows 8.0.

  • Snow Leopard Boot Camp and Windows 7 64bit

    I have a late 2006 Mac Pro with 2xDual Core 2.66ghz procs and 6 gigs of ram. I've been thinking of running Windows 7 64 bit in Boot Camp for a few games and had an EFI question. I searched thru the forum but can't seem to find an answer (possibly my own ignorance of not understanding, but that's not the point).
    Since I'm running 32bit EFI will I be able to run the 64 bit version of Win7 in boot camp or am I limited to 32bit version?

    It is a PITA.
    Install a 32-bit version, as a mini-OS to bootstrap yourself into 64-bit;
    Or, modify the DVD you will burn by editing the ISO, which can be done with VirtualBox etc.
    I did it multiple times and posted a long rambling thread over on Boot Camp AD.
    It is weird.
    For fun, I install W7 x64 on PC, moved it over to Mac Pro and Windows gracefully just updated all the needed chipset drivers for me.
    As usually, there are multiple ways to do anything.
    Pull Mac drive and system, install a RAW drive or format as MBR and MSDOS, you'll want 3-4 partitions or multiple drives.
    By using 32-bit version, you can then create a couple volumes.
    8GB for editing the ISO and DVD or to run the installer from. This is a very fast way to do any install. Same idea works with Mac OS and restoring the DVD to disk.
    When you burn Win7 DVD, do so at slow/reduced speeds.
    20GB for first Win7 32-bit partition.
    Whatever you want for x64.
    Data volume?
    A 64-bit can't be installed over 32-bit, but it will install to another volume all while you are booted into Windows 7 x32.
    It took some playing around.
    Modifying the ISO with a Windows utility worked, once but I never got the hang to do it again, kept getting unbootable copies and wasted DVDs.
    Intel has UEFI 2.3 as the latest and I have been tempted to become EFI Group membership just to nuke the olde EFI32 - I now work mostly on a pair of i7 machines running 7.

  • Bootcamp 3.1 and imac windows 7 64bit update not installing. Audio issues!

    After many days of work getting the windows 7 working in bootcamp in my imac 27 (still with audio issues) I eagerly awaited the bootcamp update and imac updates.
    Neither will install.
    Then I find that according to tech support as of now I have to reinstall Windows 7 again for the updates to work!
    It took me 5 full 8 hours days to get all my scientific programs installed and working, now I find I can't even simply update the drivers I need. I don't want to reinstall.
    My only issues are audio.
    Here they are:
    1) The headset jack works fine on the Mac side, but in Windows 7, it causes the i7 intel CPU to go crazy. There is no CPU spike on the mac side.
    2) The headset jack in the imac is a trrs jack. The same as in the iphone, a tri-band jack that has three bands, two audio out channels and one mic in channel. A trrs headset works fine on the mac side with using the headset mic (as in iphone) rather than the built in mic. (this provides much better quality for sound recording). I don't want to use a usb mike.
    In Windows 7 the mic part of the trrs headset does not work.
    3) In Windows 7 when going into audio devices recording, no audio mixer shows up, so when I do video or audio screen capture the only way to capture the sound is through the speakers and then back through the imac built in mic, rather than directly through the unit. (terrible sound quality) On the mac side the mixer element works fine.
    Now I find from other imac users that even the new updates for the imac on windows 7 don't address and fix the audio issues. I am sure not going to go through 5 more days work only to find the audio issues still don't work.
    I need these audio aspects to work properly though!
    I have tried to get drivers for the cirrus logic audio card, but guess what there are none available and cirrus logic doesn't even recognize the board or offer drivers.
    I have many windows programs I must have for my scientific research!I bought the top of the line Imac with all the bells and whistles because Apple promised that the machine could run Windows 7 in bootcamp natively!
    It doesn't. This has been a nightmare of problems.
    Is Apple going to step up to the plate and make good on their promises?
    Does any one have a fix for any of the audio issues, or know how to install the new drivers without a complete reinstall of Windows?
    Installing a few sound drivers and software should not require a complete reinstall. Getting the proper drivers for the headset jack audio in and audio out jack should be the most basic of fixes. Making the audio mixer work should be elementary.
    If you are an Apple tech person or an Apple user that can help on these issues, please do!
    Thanks, Dr. Duke
    An American profesor in Europe.
    PS I will post this under Imac windows 7 updates without a reinstall and under
    imac Sound issues.

    On another thread a few people have responded saying that their imac has the same situation, the cpu is going crazy and the imac gets hot with headphones or speakers plugged in. But this doesn't happen in the mac side.
    If you have an late 2009 imac and don't have these audio issues, let us hear from you. If you don't, lay out the problem here.
    Here is my last two cents in to the inquiry.
    Not only does the cpu run crazy but the imac 27 gets very, very hot. Since I unplugged the headphones, it runs much, much cooler.
    Certainly, some Mac engineers should take care of this problem, it seems it is universal on all the imac 27's and from what I gather, the smaller screened cousins too.
    Also, we certainly want a stereo mix option for audio in or out, or what is called "what you hear" or wave out. Imac is supposed to be much geared to multimedia apps.
    Finally, the mic jack part of the trrs set up MUST be fixed! A lot of manufacturers are going to headset combo jacks as they call them, mic in and stereo out on the same tribanded plug. But, the old single jack for mic in and single jack for stereo out are two tiny parts of the hardware and super inexpensive for the manufacturer. Why in the **** to go to the "advanced" triplug if the **** thing doesn't work.
    Mac has a great reputation. I hope they remedy these problems right away.
    Anyone whose imac 27 or 24 whose headset plug is working correctly. Let us know! I don't think anyone's is, but I think that few people understand that their cpu is running so much faster with the plug in, plus few even understand the combo jack and the triband, or trrs audio jack! Out of 4 audio technicians I talked to, not one of them knew what a trrs jack was or that you even have a mic in jack as part of the headset jack!
    When I told one senior that it worked on the Mac side, he didn't believe for a while, thought my sound might be recorded from the onboard mic, but I proved it to him by tapping iaudibly on my iphone mic headset and and it showing up in garage band clearly and listening to big difference in audio.
    As for a usb audio adapter, I am in a neon light environment and find that those adapters are more sensitive to electrical interference. Besides I want to use the headset jack as it was meant to be used!
    Thats it.
    Again, if anyone using an imac 27 and windows 7 64 or 32 doesnt have these problems, let us know! We are all anxious for a fix!
    Best to all!

  • I switched on my PC and there was an update for realplayer. Since then firefox will not load. It is running according to Task Manager. I've downloaded a another copy of the programme using IE but whilst it loaded as a programme, does not open a window.

    Hi again,
    Helps if I give the correct link ! <br/>The press shift button appears to still work, but the option to start in safe mode from the programs listing of a standard install I do not think exists anymore.
    Safe mode will start from a command line, (or a shortcut) and in some circumstances you may need to enter the full path name on a command or shortcut detailed instructions are at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
    Remember (at least at this stage) do not make changes when you get the options list, just click on the continue button.
    If you think that RealPlayer is causing the problem you could uninstall that for now.
    Firefox recent versions are 3.6 4.0 (and 5.0 in beta). There is some debate as to whether creating new profiles or re-installing Firefox is the simplest method of troubleshooting and solving some of these problems, personally I use multiple profiles and multiple versions of Firefox, and tend to forget the required procedures are less than straightforward. For now at least try [[safe mode]] again.

  • How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"? (Library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes for Mac. Now getting update wars between Mac and Windows versions of the player.

    How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
    My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
    Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
    Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
    Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
    The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
    Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.

  • IPhone 4s not recognized by windows 8 after updating iOS and stuck on "connect to itunes" screen

    I tried updating the iOS on my iPhone4s and now it is stuck on the connect to itunes screen. It also doesn't show up in the devices folder of my computer (windows8.1) but makes the notification sound when connected to a usb port. It also isn't recognized by itunes, but that's probably because the computer doesn't connect to it either.
    I've tried reinstalling iTunes multiple times, updating the driver for the usb port, and pressing the sleep/home buttons as i connect it but nothing has worked and I'm still stuck on the connect to itunes screen.
    Also, every now and then, the iphone screen blacks out and the disconnected from computer sound plays, then a second later connects again

  • My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on.

    My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on. I have the little arrow that normally selects my AppleTV in iTunes but AppleTV is no longer listed (only My Computer). Is there an issue with the latest update. This is probably my fault by telling everyone how good AppleTV is and that it just works! Doesn't work any more :-( I have tried all the usual restarting of AppleTV and PCs. I'm having to revert back to the Samsung Blu-ray player's PC sharing :-(

    Restarted router(s) and it works again.
