Im getting a message at startup that my HP windows 7 is not genuine.

IM GETTING A MESSAGE AT STARTUP THAT MY WINDOWS 7 IS NOT GENUINE.

Ah the Windows Genuine Disadvantage.... where it's the paying customers that get shafted with silly "activation" issues....
I guess "the industry" is largely overdoing this and in the end they will be shooting themselves in the foot. While I would have bought some stuff from MS and Adobe (Visual Studio and Photoshop), their activation schemes completely put me off so I went with open source stuff like Code::Blocks and GIMP. Not because they are "free" (I can afford and I do pay for my software) but because they don't have any stupid activation scheme to deal with. I guess that after getting shafted several times more and more people will be making this choice and after getting familiar with Linux-world software, in the end the transition to Linux the OS would be an obvious and easy thing to do.
Nap.

  • I want to update to the latest version of iTunes, but when I go to Help and click Check for Updates I get a message telling me that the iTune internet server could not be contacted.

    Cannot get updates for iTunes, why?

    Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download then download and install the latest version.

  • My CD/DVD drives quit working and I had to change Registry settings to get them to work again. Now Itunes gives me a message at startup that I need to reload iTunes.

    Both of the CD/DVD drives on my desktop computer quit working. I had to change registry settings to get them to work again and after that iTunes gives me a message on startup that I need to reload iTunes because of the change in registry settings. I'm concerned that if I reload iTunes that my drives will quit working again though I don't know why they quit working in the first place. Is there a known problem or incompatability with some drives and iTunes. What is it about the registry settings that iTunes requires my CD/DVD drives settings to work or not to work? I haven't updated my iTunes software since changing the registry setting to fix my drives.

    I've read some of the support articles about reinstalling the iTunes upper filters in the registry but I don't like the idea that iTunes seems to be saying that they are the ones that will be in control of what CD burning software that I am allowed to use on my computer. If I put the iTunes upper filters back on the computer will I not be able to use other CD burning software again? If I reload iTunes will it interfere with the use of the other software, or, if I use the other software again will I have to go back and reload iTunes or reset my registry every time. This seems to me to be a problem that iTunes should fix so that they don't interfere with other computer operations.

  • I keep getting a message on startup saying 'Do you want the application "KodakAiOBonjourAgent .app" to accept incoming network connections?' It says settings may be changed in the Firewall pane of Security? Doesn't matter what I click (Deny/Submit).

    I keep getting a message on startup saying 'Do you want the application "KodakAiOBonjourAgent .app" to accept incoming network connections?' It says settings may be changed in the Firewall pane of Security but I don't see how.  Doesn't matter what I click (Deny/Submit). The message still pops up on starup. I have a Kodak printer and am running Mavericks but I don't think it started when I upgraded.

    Just fixed this on my machine, the easiest way to remove this pop-up assuming you are no longer needing that software to print is the following:
    Open Finder
    Go > Go To Folder...
    Type In: "~/Library/Application Support"
    Delete All Folders Named Kodak
    Open System Preferences
    Go to "Security & Privacy"
    Click the lock and enter your admin password
    Click the Firewall Tab
    Go to "Firewall Options..."
    Find KodakAiO
    Right-click KodakAiOBonjourAgent or equivalent (I forget the exact name)
    Click "Show in Finder"
    Go Back to a folder and delete the Kodak Folder there.
    Remove Kodak from Firewall Options by selecting it and clicking the " - " button the base of the list.
       or
    Open Finder
    Go > Go To Folder...
    Type In: "~/Library/Printers"
    Delete All Folders Named Kodak
    I'm going off memory, so If I forgot something let me know.

  • Itunes not recognizing my Ipod anymore.  I get a message in itunes that says " This ipod cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started

    My itunes is no longer recognizing my new ipod when I plug it in . I am getting a message in itunes that says, " this ipod cannot be used because the apple mobile device is not started."  I have tried the troubleshooting tips but not sure what to do next. My itunes is updated to 10 and ipod has not been connected to itunes since Oct. Should I update my ipod to 6.1.3?  It is only at 6.0.1  I have not done this yet.  My itunes is saying version 10.  My ipod is not backed up on icloud so i do not know what I should do.  I use the same account as My iphone which is backed up by icloud.  Please help.  Need to put songs on my ipod.

    Hello R Hic,
    I found an article that goes over how to restart and troubleshoot the Apple Mobile Device Service on Windows. I would recommend following the steps listed in that article and that should resolve your issue.

    Hope that helps,

  • After  a system restore, I get an error message telling me that "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language.  Please run the English version." the E

    I did a system restore, trying to get rid of the new update (which I HATE), and now when I try to open iTunes, I get an error message telling me that "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language.  Please run the English version."  You can't change the language option unless you can open iTunes - and IT WON'T OPEN!!!  What a piece of crap!  If there existed an iTunes substitute, I would purchase it in a hot minute! 

    Strip it out and start again.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components as described in the second box, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)

  • I keep getting a message "Your startup disk is full" but it isn't

    I keep getting a message "Your startup disk is full" and my space on the HD fluctuates every second. I have 113 Gbs of free space, but it disappears within seconds and reappears again and repeats.

    Yes you should back it up.
    Do you have the OS 10.6 disk? You will need it. If you don't have it, you can get one here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    The repair disk procedure does not erase anything on the drive. But before you go any further you should back it up.

  • I keep getting this message every time that i start my co...

    I keep getting this message every time that i start my computer, but i can still connect to the Internet, and do whatever i could do with a working router and modem.
    The server 192-----etc. at WRT54GS requires a user-name and password.
    Warning: This server is requesting that your user-name and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).
    Then it asks for a user-name and password. What password!?!!!?!? WHAT USERNAME!??!??!?.......if anyone can help i would appreciate it.

    the router password is admin by default. Leave the username blank. But for this issue you may check the security setting of your internet options. Disable it from there.

  • Updated iTunes to 11.0.3 and now when I try to use Airport Express I get a message in iTunes that states, "an unknown error has occured (-15000.)  I gave the Airport a hard re-start, so I don't think that is the issue.  Using Windows 7.

    Looks like I fixed it., thanks to another post I read.  I went into my Norton Security.  Under Settings. Chose Firewall. Program rules. changed the itunes setting from "auto" to "allow"  This also fixed my error (-3212) which would not allow me to connect to the iTunes store.

    You seem to be running the latest Firefox 9.0.1 version according to the user agent in your system details list:
    *Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1
    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • I keep getting error message on iPad that it has not backed up to iCloud.  How to resolve?

    I keep getting error message on iPad that it has not backed up to iCloud.

    To get rid of the message and use your iPad normally again:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
