C50-A-1DV Windows 10 Unable to install DTS Sound

Hello, after upgrading to Windows 10 (Which the software upgrade page reports as supported), I am unable to install drivers for DTS Sound, which was installed before I upgraded, as the installer comes up with "This product does not support DTS sound processing", despite the fact it worked fine with Windows 8.1. Is there a fix/different install for this, as I am unable to play sound on my laptop now.

You don't need to open iTunes to back up the library. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates and look in the further information area for backup advice.

TS5376 iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open instructions talk about uninstalling and installing iTunes. Will I loose all my data?

Apple recomments uninstalling and installing iTunes and other Apple related software. Will I loose my data?
Thank you!

Rather than using the Apple document as a guide, I currently recommend using the following user tip instead:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)

TS5376 iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open.

The fix does not explain why this has been done by Apple. very poor job. What will happen to my library? Will I loose everything, only some?
Why the update was released and not fully tested before?

Normally nothing. Back it up.

I'm sure it was tested and that no potential issues with the release were detected. Something unexpected has occured.

Satellite C50-A-1JN - Windows 8.1 - desktop keeps attempting to reload

Satellite C50-A-1JN - Windows 8.1 installed pre-purchase.
Purchased this laptop about two months ago with no problems until tonight. The laptop loads fine up until the app home screen, but when clicking on desktop the laptop seems to attempt to 'reload' itself constantly, and I can't open any of the desktop files or do much of anything!
Has anyone suffered from similar issues and can advise of a fix? I can provide a video of what happens if this helps diagnosis/a solution.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi
From my point of few the system is muddled up and i would recommend you to reset the Win 8.1 system to the default settings
This is not very complicated but before doing this, I recommend you to backup your personal data.
Microsoft has published short instruction how to do that. Take a look here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
I would recommend you to test the first option without affecting the files. In case this does not solve your issue, check the 2nd option: Recovery.

Version 11.2 for Windows failure to install

I tried to update iTunes this morning for windows, 64 bit. When I tried to launch iTunes, I got this message:The prodecure entry point ADiAdlD_AcquireMatchSlotIfNecessary could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll.
I tried to reinstall the new version using the repair feature. Same results.
This was followed by a message: iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)
What is the problem?

Hi Roland,
The article below has some tips that should help you get this sorted.
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5376
Resolution
These behaviors can occur if the iTunes installer has insufficient privileges to cleanly update iTunes. To resolve the issue, remove iTunes thoroughly, and then give the iTunes installer administrator privileges.
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components, may have unintended affects.If you encounter an error while uninstalling, try repairing the affected component:
In Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) or Programs and Features (Vista and later), select the component and look for either Change or Repair.
Click and follow the wizard to repair the affected component.
Remove the affected component after repair.
2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalledIn most cases, removing iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel will remove all supporting files belonging to those programs. To fully resolve these issues, manually remove any remaining iTunes-related folders listed below.On 32-bit and 64-bit systems:
C:\Program Files\Bonjour
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\CoreFP
C:\Program Files\iTunes\
C:\Program Files\iPod\
Note: Follow the additional steps at the end of this article if you receive the alert "Cannot delete iPodService.exe: It is being used by another person or program" when trying to delete this folder. Some of the folders above may not be found on all systems.
On 64-bit systems:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\CoreFP
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\
C:\Program Files (x86)\iPod\
Note: Follow the additional steps at the end of this article if you receive the alert "Cannot delete iPodService.exe: It is being used by another person or program" when trying to delete this folder. Some of the folders above may not be found on all systems.

When i trybto install the sound library iam ased yo login the password but it doesnt work. why?

iam unable to install the sound library on my garageband because its not accepting the password. am i getting it wrong here? isnt it the apple id password that its askign for?if not then what other password? please help! urgent!

You need the admin password you created when you first set up the machine. Just about every installer running under OS X will require you to authorize the installation by entering an administrator password - even software update requires this. You really should not forget your admin password, as it is required for many things in OS X since, unlike Windows, you often need to manually type in the admin password to proceed with an install or update (whereas Windows will take admin authority, if you are logged in as an admin, by simply clicking continue or yes).
If you cannot remember your admin password, you can reset it from the recovery CD that came with your mac - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274

Unable to install SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDb on Windows 8.1 Update 1

Apologies if this is not the right place or this has been posted before (I looked and didn't find anything)
I am unable to install SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDb on Windows 8.1 Update 1, as I get an 'Operating System not Supported' error message right away.
What can I do to get this working?

Hi Zgreve,
Usually, from
hardware and software requirements for installing SQL Server 2014, we can install SQL Server Express version on the Windows 8.1. For more information, see:
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express.
Before you install SQL Server 2014 Express version, you should ensure installing the .NET Framework 4, then run as administrator for the SQL Server setup.exe again.
There is a similar detail about install SQL Server Express LocalDB via GUI and command line. You can also review the following steps.
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2694/getting-started-with-sql-server-2012-express-localdb/
If the same error about OS still exists, I recommend you submitting a feedback to Microsoft such issues at
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback, Your feedback enables Microsoft to offer the best software and deliver superior services, meanwhile you can learn more about and contribute to the
exciting projects on Microsoft Connect.
Thanks,
