IdeaPad S205 Operating System:Windows 7 Home Premium can't connect to wifi router
Hi I have set up laptops at home before,
the brand new lenovo ideapad tells me "connections are available" and i can see my wifi has 3 bars - all good
however after enering the the network security key and click ok
it says connecting then a second later it says,
windows was unable to connect
i have tried all the recommended advice rebooted the router and the laptop and updated the driver software, however i am unsure if it was ythe most current or if in fact it did anything...
what else can i do?
Richiebee,
Do you have other PCs connected to this router and are they running Windows 7? What brand and model of router?
If you take your S205 to another location - a coffee shop, etc, are you able to connect wirelessly there? Perhaps we can try to narrow down the possibilities a bit?
Thanks!
Mark

Computer crashed. Had to rebuild. Everything loaded and is working properly except itunes. Downloaded itunes and installed. Will not connect to internet. Keeps on trying to connet to itunes store, but never connects. If I insert a CD all I get is the track number. No artist or song information. Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium.
Hello Rachet Jaw,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes. I found a few articles I suggest for the issue you described.
If you are getting a white screen when accessing the iTunes Store, I recommend reviewing this article:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
If you are still not able to access the store or are getting a different error than just a white screen, I recommend the following articles:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

Operating system Windows 7 Home Premium x64 download
Hello, I have changed broken harddisk in my HP ProBook 4540s and I'm looking for Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (Czech). I have HP DVDs with this OS, but it doesn't boot. So I called to HP and then they sent me another DVD, but it doesn't work too. Where can I download this OS to install my system? Thank you for reply :-)
Hi there
This is the legitimate Windows 7 ISO download page I found:
http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325/page-2#post-124821
You may need language packs to be installed for Czech to be activated after OS installation. Do a google search of Base language for Czech and download that.

Auto download is costly when you happen to connect via wifi using your mobile data network.
You're wrong.
It's been posted on here that users not interested in installing this software update are experiencing forced downloads. It's downloading the file, of which cannot be deleted. Waiting to be executed to install.
It does this when charging, connected to wifi
Google io7 forced downloads, several articles.
OP, the only way I've read that can stop it, is to not have enough space available. It needs about 2.9, so it's advised to keep your iPad full.
Or turn wifi off when chugging to a wall outlet -
System image for Win 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
Hello, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Am reading conflicting information online about being able to produce a system image in Win 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 - plus am not able to find directions for this process online or
on the laptop in question. The hard drive is failing in this laptop so I need to produce an image so that the transition when the new drive is installed will be a simple one. If creating a system image is not possible in this version of Windows
are there other alternatives that will accomplish my goal?
Thanks, Steve.
Hi Steven,
If you are using a retail edition Windows, kindly follow the instructions as mentioned in the article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/back-up-programs-system-settings-files#1TC=windows-7
For OEM system, system image backup recovery for new hard disk might cause Windows activation failure by OEM product key.
as mentioned by Rick， you might need to contact the manufacturer of your system for assistance.

Win 7 Home Premium upgrade to Ultimate
If I upgrade my OS, Win 7 Home Premium to Ultimate edition, will my all previous programs remain installed?
I mean do I need to re-install VS 2010,office 2010,HP Laptop pre install programs which are there in the current Home Premium installation.
I will install it from MSDN(I have the MSDN subscription), how I will get the product key?
Also please help me if I need to keep some pre coutions while upgradation.
Thanx in advance
RajNo, you will not lose any files.
Now, if you have "key problems", there are two different kinds of upgrades: See this post of mine:
=============================================
Thanks to a wonderfully smart, fast, and calm woman from Microsoft in Cebu for a VERY quick 5-minute and no-cost solution: I also made sure her supervisor got a compliment noted for her. She saved me tons of time and money as well as the angst from the day
before looking for the answer.
I also had purchased a Windows 7 Ultimate Academic Upgrade CD which I applied to a Windows 7 Home Premium box so that it became an Ultimate O/S - and got a "invalid key" message. I could not find a blog post to fix this and the computer manufacturer told
me to reinstall back to Home Premium. Fat chance...
Do the following:
1. Call Microsoft Tech Support at 1-800-936-5700 (or local equivalent), and press 1 for Customer Support. Hours are 5am-9pm Mon-Fri, 6-3pm Sat & Sunday, Pacific Time USA.
2. Run msdt.exe (Start, search, msdt).
3. The support person will generate a pass key for you. Type that in the box as indicated.
4. Download - next - Product Activation - Change product activation - Next
5 Choose "Apply this fix". Next. This will say "Resetting licensing software".
6. You will then be asked to restart (reboot).
7. Upon reboot, a window will pop up asking for you to put in the license key (e.g., here, from the Academic Upgrade disk). Enter it.
8. It will accept it, register it as a valid license key, and your problem will be solved.
==========
Otherwise, BEFORE you buy an upgrade, know this:
1. Academic Upgrade: Normally is to be used to upgrade a DIFFERENT operating system, such as XP or Vista to Windows 7. That is why the upgrade key will not show as valid. The folks at the university
bookstores won't know this, nor will the folks on the academic software websites online. Caveat emptor. Follow above steps from me to call MS support if you do buy this and can't get the key to work. MS was very helpful and understanding, and the "fix" above
cost me no extra.
2. Anytime Upgrade ($80-$130 USD online for purchase) - This is the proper item to upgrade one type of Windows 7 (such as Home Premium) to another type of Windows 7 (such as ultimate). This
is for the SAME operating system (Windows 7 variants). Save yourself the time and buy this instead. You cannot get this at a university or online academic store, and it is a retail purchase.
==========
Finally, here is another tool to get your licensing info (besides the already-present msdt tool:
Download and run the Microsoft "MGADIAG.exe" tool here:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/F/3/9F3DED28-A521-4352-B8A4-20368D0CC1AA/MGADiag.exe
It wouldn't hurt to email / print yourself a copy of this screenshot for future reference. -
WIN 7 Home Premium and a HP mini 210-1000!
Have mini 210-1000, refurb, came with a WIN 7 Starter, never did check and record the product key that came with...ERROR!
1. Went on line 12 days ago and purchased WIN 7 Home premium. Have spend HOURS on line with MS techs trying to get it to install. Came here before I waste any more time.
This machine has 1G RAM - CAN it install WIN 7 Home premium?
2. Since the last attempted install (MS using PowerISO Virtual Drive Manager (free download ver.), and which was UNsuccessful, my HP and MS now tell me that my WIN 7 Starter is 'not genuine' and they give me several options to obtain the product key.
The product key in control panel/status is not EVEN in the correct format and starts with 2 (unacceptable) zeros...
IF this machine was refurbed by HP or Contractor, does HP have a usable product key to return me to normal operation? Am having trouble re-reaching the MS tech, I believe HE's out of ideas...
ANYone know a guru ? Am not quite ready to invest $$$ to fix a mess that MS started - and it's a long, long story...which takes me back to the original question: am I asking my Notebook to install WIN 7 Home Premium when it's not able??
Thank you for any help you can provide!
MartyHi, Marty:
Please read the info at the link below and see if you can do a clean install of W7 HP.

Need to re-install missing/corupt dll files on Win 7 Home Premium
Had a power failure from a storm while I was on vacation. When I returned, I noticed I am having problems with long boots and the system is no stable at boot-up. Win Start-up repair no help - can't fix problem. I was not able to restore to a previous good point,
as NOW there are NO restore points on my OS drive. Would like to just restore all or part of the WIN 7 Home Premium as it appears there is no MS disk to repair. I might even have a problem with the disk hardware or boot sectors. Not sure at
this point. Any help to recover without a complete re-install would be great!Steve
If you feel you have ‘dll’ corruption problems, run the System File Checker (SFC) from an elevated Command Prompt, i.e. click the Windows Orb (Start) > All Programs > Accessories and right-click Command Prompt, then ‘Run as Administrator’. Type sfc
/scannow (note the space) and press Enter. This may take some time and, depending upon your installation of Windows and what is corrupted, you may have to put the DVD in the drive.
If SFC finds a problem, it will attempt to replace the file(s) from the Winsxs folder. However, if the file is not in \Winsxs or if \Winsxs is corrupted, you will be prompted to insert the Windows DVD. -
I hate the new operating system. Can't connect to wifi in home anymore even after a restore. Rhapsody no longer works on my phone either. Plus the brighth graphics are bothering my eyes even with brightness turned down. Any ideas on why rhapsody doesn't why rhapsody doesn't work anymore?
Contact Rhapsody to see if they have or plan to release an update for the app. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

Connect... but it contain error "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"..
anyone know the solution from this error???
i`m sorry if my english is bad.. i`m from indonesiaGot a local password/username on your Win7 ? Create the same on the 2003R2 as you seem in workgroup
net user /add useraccountname mypassword
net localgroup users useraccountname /add (I think it's users the name, you can validate to be sure) or
net localgroup administrators useraccountname /add in worst case.
nb, or add the user guess in the printer share security

When using FF 5.0, rollover type ads (i.e. ads for XBOX) on Facebook game Lexulous pages are 'enlarged' and block 1/3 of the game board. Using up to date versions of Win 7 Home Premium, Adobe Flash and ActiveX on an HP Pavillion dv7 laptop. Does NOT happen at all in MS IE 8, but occurs every time in FF 5.0.
Also, Google 'translate this page' links do not work in FF 5.0, but works in MS IE 8. All I get in FF is a blank page, time after time.Hi,
I am using a Nvidia 4200M adapter in my Laptop, Driver 266.96, Direct X 11
In my desktop I am using an ATI XFX 6950, latest revision drivers (I am not at home right now so I cant get that info).
The issue I did describe above, but it was a long explanation.
In some flash games the game files load initially and get as far as the "click to start" button. Then the flash area usually goes either all white or all black (usually depending on the falsh game default background color) and then it stays that color. Cant see anything after hitting start (usually most games have an intro video or animation before the game starts, but I cant see any of it.
For the very few games that do start, the flash game or application does not seem to work correctly in that when the rare game starts, it wont save any game files or save files to the pc and so if I exit the game (navigate away to another page or close browser) and then later come back, even though I click the option to save games (and ensure that the flash application slider shows it can save files and lots of space) it does not save and I have to start from the beginning all the time.
More explanation I gave above. -
I have re-installed I-tunes and have a new operating system (Win 7 Pro).
I now cannot sync as I-tunes says my I-Pod is already connected to a library and wants to erase my music on the I-Pod. What do I do to get around this problem?An iPod is designed to be synced with only one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync the iPod with a new/different iTunes library, iTunes on the new/different computer will replace the contents currently on the iPod with whatever is currently stored in its own library.
If the music and content on your iPod is not in iTunes or in a backup somewhere you can use the information in this user tip from another forum member turingtest2 to help you copy this content from the Nano back to the PC and into iTunes.

Since I upgraded to the new iOS 7 operating system for my iphone, I can no longer adjust the volume on my alarm. No matter what setting the volume of my phone is my alarm is always full blast. Since I hate being startled awake, what can I do?
Go to your home screen, and then press the volume down or up button. It should say Ringer instead of volume. If it doesn't do that, try going into the clock app and try it there.

Pages is "not responding" when I try to open any document on a Lion Operating System, Macbook Pro. What can I do?
Ah then that is the issue.
1. Is Pages registered? It turns into a demo version after 3months otherwise.
2. This makes it interesting as to what happens if it has, because a demo version can't/won't save and I'm curious if this causes a bug in the ever so wonderfully thought through process of versioning in Lion
3. There may actually be a problem with one of the documents which again causes a bug in the ever so wonderfully thought through process of versioning in Lion
4. You are entitled to AppleCare telephone support to try ands resolve this in detail which is difficult to do without seeing what is actually going on because there are multiple files involoved
5. Which raises the issue of does it freeze consistently on hitting a certain document? In which case moving or archiving that document may get Pages to actually launch
