I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that your computer did an auto update to Windows 8.1 during the evening and you saw a prompt to restart your computer in the morning. You restarted the computer, but received the error "BOOT DEVICE NOT FOUND" PLEASE INSTALL AN OPERATING SYSTEM ON YOUR HARD DISK>HARD DISK (3FO).
You stated you ran the diagnostics but no problems were found.
Here is a link to a document to assist with this issue. Resolve Boot Device not Found Error Message
Here are links to help with an HP recovery if necessary. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8).
During the recovery process, you will receive a prompt to backup your personal files.  If you have not done a backup yet, I suggest you do one now to prevent data loss.  Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8).

    Solving the iTunes Installation Problems in Windows
    1. Apple has posted their solution here: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows- Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue.
    2. If the Apple article does not fully resolve the problem for you, then try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - MSVCR80.

  • My ipod permanantly locked me out how do i get back in if I don not have my original computer any more

    My ipod permanantly locked me out how do i get back in if I don not have my original computer any more?

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and then connect to a computer and restore via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

  • My charger is not connecting to the computer any more....

    My charger for my Shuffle isn't connecting at all with my computer any more, but not even two days ago it was fine. I tried resetting my computer and it still wouldn't work. My iPod works fine and I think I may need to get a new charger. Is it possible to get just a new charger?

    Yes, definately. Try your local Apple Store or even somewhere that just sells iPods new.

    Your only hope is to place your phone in to DFU mode and restore it using iTunes (if iTunes allows you to).
    Search in Google "Force iPhone in to DFU mode" and follow the instructions precisely.

  • Why can't I back up the music from my iPod 160 GB to my computer any more?

    The only option I see is to back up purchases from my iPod. What about the music that I've added from CD's? II want to be able to back up all the content on my iPod to my computer. Why does this option not show up any more. If I sync the computer, it will erase everything on the iPod. HELP!

    The option you are referring to has never existed.  Apple has only ever allowed you to transfer iTunes purchases from your iPod back to your PC.  Otherwise the sync process is only one way and that is from iTunes to the iPod.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    I want my iPhone 4S not to trust my official mac any more. How do I change the settings?

    Get the screen replaced.
    Also, it's always a really bad idea not to activate iCloud and Find My iPhone.

  • Nano not communicating with my computer any more!

    I recently tried to sync my ipod nano with my computer...and it says that the device in the USB drive isn't recognized. It will charge, just not sync with iTunes. It has been working for over a year...why would it suddenly stop? I can't restore my iPod or anything because that's all done through the computer. I tried switching USB ports, resetting the iPod, and nothing has worked. Any suggestions?
    IPod nano   Windows XP  

    Are you able to connect other USB devices?

    thansk bye

    You should really look through and consider posting in your native tongue, looking through this it seems you sir have an activiation lock.
    1: Apple will not, and cannot release that activation lock. It's a security feature willingly installed onto a user's device when they turn on find my device
    2: The device was NOT properly set up for sale, they did NOT erase their senstive data and you were USING a phone with someone elses iCloud. At the point of sale you DID NOT ensure the device was properly wipe and bought an unproperly set up device. At point of sale, Buyer Beware,
    3: Apple does not visit this forum, you are speaking to other users who have no means of doing anything for you
    4: It is up to you to contact the owner of the device, or you are outta luck mate. Next time buy an iPhone guranteed to work from a authorized source,

  • Cant "edit in audition" any more.

    I have just updated to 2014 CC versions inc Premiere pro 2014 and now the edit in Audition is greyed out when right clicking in timeline.
    If I go to project window right click Premiere goes through the prep audio file and opens Audition but no actual export made.
    All worked fine before the update!!
    Anyone any ideas?
    Also is there a tech help number it does not seem easy to find even though paying the subs every month.  (UK)
    Thanks

    Open Audition and do some scratch work.  Save the session as the standard .sesx file type.  Set the OS file associations to open that file type with Audition.  Try again.
