I shouldn't have done the update because now desktop will no longer run

I have spent the last 6 hours trying to fix this. I ran the available update yesterday and now as soon as I plug my Bold 9900 in, I get an error message and it does not sync. I decided to try to reinstall the 7.1 update directly from the BB website to ensure if the update was corrupt, I could try to repair it. Instead, I get an Error 1723. I noticed that I still had an old 5.0 version of desktop on my PC, so tried to uninstall that doing a clean uninstall and get an Error 1316 message. When I try to follow the instructions under KB04272, again going through the Control Panel does not work as the uninstall will not work as there is obviously a file missing. I tried renaming the installshield, I tried repairing both the old version and the 7.1 version. I am now at the point that I have both on my PC still and I cannot uninstall or repair or install either of them!
I would like to find a solution beside wiping my whole machine, but after this much time, I'm thinking wiping my machine or tossing the phone are pretty much where I want to go. Can anyone suggest and alternate for me?
Thanks

i went through everything that i had changed since it last worked, it turns out it was some software installed with my new webcam that was preventing both firefox and utorrent from starting. the windows update restarted the computer for the new software to start working. All fixed now as the software was non- important

you need to go to APP STORE, Then click on Purchased and you will see all the program which u can download from iCloud. I hope u made an account otherwise u will need to install everything again. The most important when u install a new iOS is to backup all your files first and then u can proceed installing the new one.

My iPod was updating to iOS 6 and i shut it off during the update because it was taking too long and now my screen in baby blue i've tried to drain the battery but when i plugged it in to charge the blue screen came back on.I dont know what to do

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi bunjamin,
just go to BlackBerry World, and update all your apps including BBM.

you can turn off the magnifying glass :
device settings >> accessibility >> magnify mode >> OFF
you can deactivate the "reset to Hub view" :
hub >> overflow (bottom right button) >> Settings >> Display and actions >> Return to Default View When Idle >> OFF

I have done the update to Firefox 7 yet when I open Firefox it tells me I need to update to the newest version which I just did, how can I fix this?

I keep my Firefox up-to-date at all times but the last few weeks Gmail has been telling me that I am using an older version which it no longer supports even though I have the updated version. I was notified that Firefox could be updated to the newest version, which I did. After the update when I opened Firefox it told me that I needed to update to the newest version which I had already done. How can I fix this?

Glad to hear it

What is going on with all the ads lately? I do not have this problem with Chrome or IE and I have done the update.

I've been a big fan of what you guys are doing for a long time but can not stand using the browser lately due to the pop ups everywhere. It makes me question the whole "Proudly Non-Profit" thing.

Do you have the pop-up blocker enabled?
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Content
Is there any pattern to the ads?
In case it's a rogue add-on, could you disable all nonessential extensions here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
After restarting Firefox, do you notice any different in the number or type of pop-ups?

I have done the softer update and now this system request a connection with a Mini HDMI connector for iTunes I don't understand why ?
DO I HAVE TO HAVE THE MINI HDMI CONNECTOR TO COMPLETE THE SOFTER UPDATE PROCESS ?

You might be seeing a Micro USB cable (Not HDMI) that is because your Apple Tv is in Recovery Mode due to some reason and it needs to be Restored by connecting it to iTunes on your Computer. So if you have a Micro USB cable ( which comes with Android Smart Phones ) then try to connect your Apple Tv to your computer using the same and with the help of iTunes Restore your Apple Tv to Factory Settings. Go through the below Apple Support kb which says " If your Apple TV still does not respond or if you were unable to follow the above steps "

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.
