You can do a System Recovery to reinstall Windows. You will need to use the F11 at power on- see the section on "Recovery when Windows 8 does not start correctly".

ITunes 9 and 8 won't work - just reinstalled Windows XP
Hi all,
I feel I'm going mad here. All night I was reinstalling Windows XP on my sister's Dell Inspiron 1520. As far as I know, I've put on all the correct drivers and bios in the right order.
This morning, I checked everything was working. Lo' and Behold, iTunes isn't. I read that a lot of people are having the same problem with iTunes 9. But I have tried just installing iTunes 8.2.1, but this didn't work either.
Each time I click the itunes icon, I get an hourglass, then a lot of nothing. It's there in processes running (iTunes 9 at approx 45000k and 8 at 25000k). But other than that it won't do anything.
The only thing out of the ordinary on this laptop is the Seven Transformation Pack. But I don't see how that would affect the running of itunes.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling many times, I've tried rebooting the computer and trying an older version. And now I've just run out of steam. Anyone have any ideas where to go from here? Please don't say reinstall windows!!!
Thanks
CharlieDitch the seven transformation pack.
+OK, I figured it out.+
+I removed Windows Live Sync from the system. Judging by the registry errors I was seeing when iTunes was trying to sync, it looks as if iTunes 9 has a problem playing nice with other resident syncing utilities.+
+After that I removed iTunes 9 and the went ahead and re-installed it, thusly no longer offering any chance of a sync conflict with (now departed) Windows Live Sync.+
+I wish Apple Support would have told me about this when I called them originally.+

Hello, I have a Mac Book Pro mid 2012, and forgot password, how do I reset it without losing info?
Hello, I have a Mac Book Pro mid 2012, and forgot password, how do I reset it without losing info? I certainly dont want it to be reseted by apple with my info from work, thank you very much for further response.
First, make sure caps lock is not on.
You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
If you forget the password and FileVault is on -

When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop and iTunes, I can't play movies from the iPhone on my computer.Why is that? Can I do this or it's not possible with iPhone5? With my iPod it's no problem.
Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet. -
I synced my ipod to my laptop and now I can't find my music help. I called the support but was told that that help expired. I did not even know I had that offered to me HELP!!!!
You may be able to redownload your iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
BTW, did you sync to the laptop before? Yu can only sync to one iTunes library. If you sync to to another library the iPod will be eerased and it contents replace with what is in the iTunes library on the computer. -

My daughter has a laptop and pc. Can she install and use one license of CS6 on both machines?
Yes. You can download, install & activate on up to two of your personal computers (e.g. a laptop and a desktop) as long as they are running the same operating system (e.g. both Macintosh or both Windows. Creative Suite licenses are platform specific.). You can find more details within the End User License Agreement at: http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/#desktop

They are likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup. -
I just got my shipment and My Ipad mini is just shut down without any reason during upgrading. I'm doing restore it. Does it matter for the future use?
ACtually I really really don't want to use it anymore. I'm so disappointed.PolishAngel756 wrote:
Some friends have told me that their phone can last up to 2 days without charging??
If they are getting 2 days without charging, it's unlikely they use their device very much.
A full day is pretty good....and if I'm careful, I can easily get a full day of usage.
For me, normal is charging the iPhone mid afternoon at work, but I use it a lot.
My typical usage is 35 mins of listening to podcasts, checking email, checking my RSS feed, and checking a few apps while I ride my bike when I first get up. Then listening to several podcasts at work.
I typically stream music while working out during my lunch hour and use the Men's Health Fitness app to track my progress.
By about 2pm I'm ready to charge the device as it's getting low (somewhere between 20% and 50%).
I leave bluetooth, Wi-FI, and location services turned on all the time.
Personally, I just do not see the point in going into settings to turn on the feature when I need it... just too much hassle. All of my listening to podcasts and music is via Bluetooth.
I know I'm not the heaviest user, but I just do not see how anyone can realistically make it two days on a single charge, it makes me think they simply do not use the features of the device and would be just as well served with a basic or feature phone. -

It's the other way round: first, you install Parallels, and then you can install Windows 7, 8, Vista, whatever you want. Or Linux. For more information visit the Parallels website.
