Authorized Comps- re-installed Windows

My Hard drive crashed and I had to re-install all software. My Ipod has maxed out its Authorized computer allotment, the last two being on the previously loaded computer. Is there a way to do a "post-mortem" de-authorization for a computer that for one reason or another one may no longer have access too?

  • My computer cannot install windows 7 using boot comp

    hi
          my computer macbook pro cannot install windows 7 using bootcomp

    You really have not given any details.
    Windows is easy to install, if you read and follow the instructions.

  • HT1386 AFter installing Windows 8 on PC the PC no longer will sync with my ipad Shuffle. I tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing but it did not help.

    After inc with my ipad Shuffle.nstalling WIndows 8 (I had to reformat C:), iTunes will no longer sync with my ipod shuffle.
    I had to deauthorize itunes before installing Windows 8, and then reauthorized it after reinstalling it. It syncs with my new Phone 5 but not with my old shuffle.
    It acts like it thinks this is a different computer. It says I have authorized tunes on 2 computers.
    Note: Computer sees shuffle as a disk and device but will not sync with it.

    You have to restore the iPod via iTunes and then sync. The iPod is seeing the reformatted computer as a new iTunes library and you can only sync with one iTunes library.
    BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

  • Syncing Suffle after installing Windows 7 error message not allowed

    Installed Windows 7 on the computer-- wiped out previous I-tunes library. What do I have to do to be able to sync library on Shuffle with computer. Getting a message that the files can't be transferred because the computer isn't the authorized cmputer. It is still the same computer just a different operating system

    Hello there,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Go ahead and authorize the computer so you can transfer your purchases to your new iTunes library.
    Then, see this Apple support document related to your issue. Next time, make sure to deauthorize your iTunes account before re-installing or formatting your system.

  • Installed Windows 8 now can't get into Mac OS

    NOOB MAC USER NEEDS IMMEDIATE HELP TO GET MACBOOK PRO WORKING AGAIN FOR SCHOOL!!!
    I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Mac's.  I recently installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview Release on my desktop and thought it was really neat.  The thought popped into my head to do the same to my Macbook Pro 15" using Boot Camp.  I swear I did everything right, and installed it the way it was supposed to be installed.  However, for some reason my Macbook isn't booting into OS X.  When I boot it up it boots straight into Windows 8 without a boot up selection or anything.  So, what I did is I used EasyBCD for Windows to edit the BOOTMGR add Mac OS X to the BOOTMGR to try and boot into OS X from the selection menu.  When I do that, a couple of screens pop up very quickly with some command line codes, and then it goes to a screen that says "Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chameleon v2.0-RC4 r684" on the top left and one selection that says "Press any key to start up from Windows NTFS, or press F8 to enter startup options."  From here it's got "Macintosh HD" and "Windows NTFS".  I select "Macintosh HD" and a line pops up at the top left of the screen saying "Hibernate session is too old by 2077 seconds.  Use ForceWake=y to override."  However, I have no idea how to go by inputting that command to override the hibernate session.  I've tried looking up a way to get into the Mac "BIOS" or firmware to see if I could do it from there, but nothing seems to get me into it.
    Once again, I'm a bit of a noob with Mac's.  I obviously made a boo-boo trying to do this without a veteran Mac user present or assisting me.  I'd GREATLY appreciate if I got some help to fix this ASAP because I use my Mac for school, and all my files and programs for school are essentially unreachable.
    UPDATE:  Discovered that I had to hold down "Option" key to go into the EFI boot selection and was able to select the Macintosh HD and get into the Mac OS.  However, when I just turn the computer on and let it boot itself, using the BOOTMGR selection for the Mac OS, it goes through all the steps I outlined above.  I can boot into Windows 8 this way, but not to the Mac OS.

    This does not sound good. Any noise that is like a finger nail on scratchboard could be a sign the hard drive is nearly dead. Take it to an authorized service technician if the sound is reproducible.
    Hopefully your data is backed up.

  • I want to Install Windows 8 Pro with Bootcamp

    I have Windows 8 running currently on Parellals 8. I cannot enter my product key for Windows yet but can use my flight simulater which works perfectly. I have tried to install Windows 8 using bootcamp (just to keep up to date) but keep getting the error
    "Your Bootable USB drive could not be created     An error occurred while formatting the disk"
    This is using a 32 GB Adata S107 USB 3 stick and Windows 8 Pro on disk. The Windows 8 is a full version. All I do is drag the disk icon from my desktop to the ISO image space on Create Bootable USB Drive for Windows Installation page. Then I get the error.
    How do I install Windows 8 full version onto my MBP Retina 2.6 GHz with Bootcamp?

    I really dislike Win 8. It is made for desktops and tablets but is bad on the desktop.
    During the public beta, MS gave users a way to bypass the Metro interface (MS themselves no longer call it Metro. Lord knows why). Just before the official release, they declared Metro was so great, everyone should be forced to use a tablet interface on a desktop computer and removed the simple option to bypass it. It didn't take long for others to develop and release ways to get around that. Here's three options. The first two cost a few bucks. The last is a freebie.

    As I don't have Win 8 myself, I have not tried any of these. On the last link the author of the freebie (next to the word Download) even notes the second option, StartIsBack, is better than his attempt.
    Overall, I've read that Win 8 is better than Win 7 as far as performance. Faster and better security. It's the Metro interface many people can't stand.

  • Need to Re-install Windows on Mac with boot camp

    I purchased a Mac Pro from someone about 6 months ago that already had a 2nd drive with Boot Camp and Windows XP Pro running on it. Today for the first time when I booted into Windows, I got an error message saying that I "may be a victim of software counterfiting" and that my version of Windows is not an authorized version in my region.
    I have an a genuine Windows XP Pro disc with seriel that I want to now re-install over the bad version. The problem is when I try to run the CD for install, I get an error message stating that I cannot install from the CD because the version of Windows I am currently running is newer than that on the CD.
    So my question is, how do I uninstall the bad version of Windows and re-install the version off the CD? I know I will lose my files and programs but everything is backed up and I will reinstall everything when I get back up and running.
    Thanks for the help!!

    You can format from Windows CD if that is what you mean by "windows side."
    Updates are usually done while boot in the OS you want to 'upgrade' while custom is only done booted from other media.
    With a Mac Pro you could easily install in many different ways than if you only had a laptop or imac.
    But you can't "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps."
    I don't even like upgrade of SL while booted in Mac OS.
    If it was my Mac I'd install Windows 7 and make better use of your hardware and the performance afforded.

  • Can I install Windows XP with another CD than the recovery CD?

    A friend of a friend ;) has a Satellite 5200. He cached a very bad virus on his Notebook, witch I couldn't remove after 2 hours of work, so I'd like to install Windows in order to "clean" the system. The problem is: he is just for visit here, and his recovery-CD is in his hometown, so I do not have the recovery-CD.
    My question: can I use any other Windows XP CD - and then use the key, which I can find under the notebook? Does it have to be a "home"-CD too, or will any CD work - or will ONLY a Toshiba-recovery-CD work?
    It's important for him - if it doesn't work he will buy a completely new Windows XP within the next 2 days. Because he pays me a little bit for my work, I cannot just try it out and then try it again the next day or so.
    ps: how much does a new recovery-CD cost - ONLY the CD - when I purchase it an a local Toshiba dealer? I live in Germany.
    Thank you

    Hi
    I agree with Silas. You can use an own original Microsoft Windows CD and install the OS on the Toshiba notebook.
    All drivers can be found on the Toshiba page.
    If you want to purchase the Toshiba recovery CD I would recommend contacting the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
    Im not sure about the CD costs but I think its not expensive the single service points are responsible for the Recovery CD prices and this can be different from country to country

  • SCCM Client PC's failing to download/install Windows Updates

    Hi,
    Last month I noticed that our client PC's, shortly after they had built (using SCCM Task Sequence)  were downloading and installing Windows Updates using the usual Windows Update process. What I mean is, I had Software Centre showing Updates as installing,
    but also had the Windows Update agent installing various updates. It was also showing in the start menu (Yellow icon saying Shut down and install updates). Now my understanding is, that that shouldn't of been happening, and only SCCM/Software Centre should
    be showing Windows Updates as installing.
    I noticed that we had some GPO's set for Windows Updates, which I have disabled, as I believed these were not necessary. Also, I like to control my Updates via SCCM Software Update groups after testing them, and not just allow clients to grab any updates
    that are required and approved.
    My problem now is, none of the clients are getting/installing any updates. I'm getting the following errors in the WUAHandler.log:
    Unable to read existing WUA resultant policy. Error = 0x80070002.

    09/04/2015 19:03:29

    So, I've checked in:
    HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windowa\WindowsUpdate\ & HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate 
    and neither have a WSUS server set. I'm assuming this is correct?
    RSOP shows all policies in \\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update as
    DISABLED
    GPEDIT shows \\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update\Specify intranet Microsoft update service location as
    Enabled and as our server (https://XXX.XXX:8531) - I'm assuming this is what SCCM client sets as if I changed this setting and then restart the setting comes back. If it was a Group Policy conflict then I
    would expect to see it in RSOP.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm puzzled as to what to look at next. Is my first assumption of having 0 group policies configured for WSUS correct? Am I also correct in assuming Windows Updates shouldn't show in Control panel, or at the Start > Shutdown
    prompt, and only show in Software Centre?
    Thanks, and sorry for the long winded post!

    Hey Jason,
    Thanks for replying and explaining the WUA stuff. That made sense to be but my mind was being clouded by the issue all of the PC's/Clients onsite were, and are still getting. I cleared out the Group Policy cache as detailed on the link.
    - Cleared C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Group Policy\History\*.*
    - Ran a gpupdate /force
    - Restarted PC
    Issue still remains. Here is the output from the WUAHandler.log

  • Installing windows 8.1 in my mac

    Hellow there;
    I, puurchased windows 8.1 from microsoft website and authorized me to download "WindowsSetupBox" with key license. After that I used Bootcamp 5. when i was on the step of installing windows. it asked  me to insert the disk of the what I downloaded but it did not recognize it. Would I need to have an older version before I get into 8.1
    Thanks

    Hello there;
    I did exactly what you told me and I moved one step forward but stuck again. I burned "Windows ISP into DVD Cd using my Mac. After it showed me Cd burnned successfuly, I then start the proceadures of using Bootcamp Assistance.Because it would take a long time I, unchecked installing windows Support software because I have it in my USB and I caninstall later, so I only checked windows 7 installation. I then got red off of what I usaully see in the laster couple of days"Install Windows installer Disc and it proceadue to Disc Partionning and I made my choice. After that I got back screen and a dash __  prompt and kept there for long time. I switched that off and started again and this time it asked me"NO BOOTABLE DISC. INSERT WINDOWS BOOBALBE DISC." . I quit the process.

  • Re-installed Windows and iTunes due to system crash, iPhone won't sync now

    My system recently crashed. Re-installed Windows and iTunes, all my old documents, songs, movies were all gone. But I now still have movies, songs and pictures that are on my iPhone 3G and would like to transfer them to my newly re-installed system, but iTunes won't allow me to do it. I will have to lose everything currently in my iPhone because I am trying to sync it to which is now recognised as another computer.
    Is there any way I can get all my songs, movies, pictures transferred across to my new system?

    The sync process for iTunes content is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone, and the same for photos transferred from your computer. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone so even if you are able to transfer the photos from your iPhone back to your computer, the original resolution of the photos will be lost.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased or acquired from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased or acquired from the iTunes Store only.
    First you need to re-authorized your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes.
    With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    After doing this when syncing iTunes content for the first time, your iPhone will likely be erased of all iTunes content first, but after you have transferred the content from your iPhone to your iTunes library, you can reselect it under the Music and Videos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Apple provides no option to transfer photos from an iPhone that were transferred to the iPhone from a computer. There may be a 3rd party utility that provides for this, but any such utility is not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost.
    This is one of the reasons why maintaining a backup of your important data stored on an external drive or some other media is so important, which should include your iTunes library and photos, along with all other data that is important to you. This is important regardless the platform, but even more so with a Windows PC due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.

  • Can't install Windows 7 from usb Lenovo g585

    Ever since I got this laptop I've been running into many issues, some of which include hard time updating, windows 8 store not being able to open, just crashes, and sometimes when I press shutdown it restarts instead..just to list a few. So I burned a windows 7 iso image onto a flash drive, but when I select my flash drive from the menu that comes up when I hit f12, It says something along the lines of "missing operating system" "exiting pxe rom" and kicks me back to the windows boot manager, which has 2 options, windows recovery, and windows 8, which is my default os. I've got a legitamate copy of windows 7 64bit iso, and my comp is 64bit. I used windows 7 usb tool to burn the .iso image. My flash drive works on my asus and my desky just fine, I can boot and install windows 7...but not on my lenovo... Any suggestions? I've also ran chkdsk and other stuff too but no avail, thanks in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    HOLD ON GUYS THE PROBLEME IS MINOR AND THE SOLUTION SIMPLE, THE G585 WIN8 IS NOT THAT BAD AFTER U READ THIS OR GO DIRECTLY TO THE LENOVO SUPPORT LINK BELOW AND APPLY THE FIX..
    I had the same problem with my new G585, I couldn't get any windows 8 upgrades done by undoing and reversing to pre-upgrade state right after reboot which made my system unstable and very slow to use and windows8 very buggy, it was very frustrating but I didn't give up and kept trying to upgrade with no success to the point I started to think that either something was wrong with my unit even though I had it for less than 2 weeks since I bought it from best buy or Lenovo effed up this time with this sluggish configuration and that I have to add RAM and see if its any better b4 returning it to them for servicing.. well IT TURNS OUT YES LENO EFFED UP BUT NOT WITH THE CONFIGURATION BUT WITH SOME BLOATWEAR CALLED NITRO PDF THAT WILL NOT LET U UPGRADE WINDOWS8 AND SPESIFECLY THE UPGRADE PART OF NITRO PDF FROM TRIAL VERSION TO FULL VERSION CALLED NITRO PDF PRO 7 OR SOME SH** LIKE THAT, THE GOOD PART IS NITRO IS OFFERING A DOWNLOAD FIX U CAN DO WHEN YOU USE THE BLOATHWEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME OR BETTER YET BY DELETING THAT APP AFTER THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO UPGRADE YOUR WINDOWS8 OS AND YOU WILL BE AMAZED BY HOW MANY UPGRADES YOU WILL GO THRU BUT YOUR SYSTEME WILL START RUNNING FASTER AND SMOOTHER FROM THE FEW FIRST UPGRADE. LET ME KNOW HOW IT TURNS OUT WITH YOU.

  • Installed Windows using boot camp but lost my mac disc mid setup!

    I am on a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and used Boot Camp 3.0.4 to try and get Windows 7 on it. I partitioned the hard drive and successfully installed Windows 7 on my comp using my Windows 7 CD. However, being the overeager moron that I am, I did so without ensuring that I have a Snow Leopard CD. So now I am stuck in Windows. Anybody got any solutions for a dumb man?

    you are not stuck.
    the default OS is set to the Windows volume
    hold down x on startup
    or hold down option key after the chime sound and wait for the startup selector
    when you get to OS X then go to Startup Disk control in system preferences

  • Wipe drive and install windows 98

    Hi I have an ibook g3 and would like to install windows 98 on it instead of having osx how can I do this

    You could get a copy of Soft Windows 98 and run it on the Mac under OS 8 or 9. I have a 2004 iBook G4 (OS X 10.4.11) on which I have installed Real PC/Windows 95 which works well but slowly in Classic Mode.
    http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/softwindows-98-v-51
    Or as Knucklesmac advised go with Virtual PC on Mac OS X . If you do stick with version 6 as version 7 was full of bugs. I see this offered on eBay sometimes.
    Some more emulators.
