IPhone + Windows 7 = Not A Happy Computer

Hello There,
I just had my work laptop upgraded to Windows 7. Now, every time I plug my phone in to sync/charge, it crashes my Windows Explorer. Any ideas?

Lots of variables here... have you rebooted the work PC and the problem continues?

  • HT1296 Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4. My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. Help

    Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4...
    My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. No Backup anywhere : (
    If I choose to sync it tells me all of the Content that does not match the iTunes library on the computer will be erased, do you want to proceed & I have to say no.
    How do I replace the music library on my Computer with the Music on the iPhone?
    I got my pictures off because you can access them when you connect the iPhone using Windows 7 but you cannot see any of the music so you cannot access it when using windows so don't know what to do...
    Help...

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

  • Bootcamp 5.1 Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation

    I've searched the internet, I've tried solutions on some of the discussions on here:

    Windows 8.1 Install Fails on New 2013 Retina MacBook, Users Report
    http://wind8apps.com/windows-8-1-install-fails-new-2013-retina-macbook/
    (Can't try this one because I don't have physical media or a burner and don't want to upgrade to 8.1)
    Tried maskedferret's and jarvil's instructions that might work for others but not for me. Also the process must be older version of disk utility. There is no "minus" to remove a partition in the one I have.
    Half the problem is those threads are so long with people posting up their problems that are not even the same problem. So then you have to sift through all these responses that aren't even really releated.
    If you're problem isn't this problem then please don't use this thread to solve another issue.
    “Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of the installation. To install Windows, restart the installation.”
    I can't find in the release notes of any beta Maverick update that this is being addressed.
    1) Does anyone know if there is a fix coming out for this?
    2) Is there some solution that doesn't require to have physical media?
         a) I have Windows 8.1 iso and product key
         b) I have a 32gb USB stick that I had Bootcamp format
         c) I have a spare 16gb USB stick.  Both are USB 2.0 so I can't do Windows To Go. Maybe I should get one.
    3) I have no idea how tell which MacBookPro I have since no one at Apple seems to believe in model numbers. I just ordered it online two weeks ago and received it this week so I guess it's the "latest" model hardware wise.  Running 10.9
    The cloest possible solution I came across was to boot up Windows 8 OS on a USB stick (Not the install) and run diskpert or fdisk for mbr thought I can' try this out because I don't have Windows To Go.  I'd rather have it worked problem from Apple if I can figure out when they plan to update I might be willing to wait.

    Finally got a physical CD and to the third link option still same issue. Even worse actually as even after formating the partition I get a "Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style"
    Found my "-" minus remove parition in Disk Utility. Will attempt maskedferret's again

  • Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. via UEFI installation

    I recently performed a clean WIndows 8.1 installation using my new Hard drive. However, under UEFI mode from BIOS, everytime the setup process reaches the "Installing Updates" stage, I kept on receiving an error "Windows could not update the
    computer's boot configuration, Installation cancelled. 
    I was a bit puzzled as everytime I install Windows 8.1 via LEGACY mode from BIOS, setup finishes! I cannot tell whether I need to mod my BIOS or what. 
    please help.

    Hi,
    Please make sure that Delete all partitions/volumes on the disk # (ex: Disk 0) that you want to install Windows 8.1 as UEFI on until that disk # shows as unallocated space.
    Try again to install Windows 8.1 again.
    If it still fails, please post back the setuperr.log and setupact.log under C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\ for our research. You can copy them out in WinPE command mode.
    Also, I would like to check if you use bootcamp to install Windows 8.1 on Mac computer. If so, check the solution here:

    Hi,
    Please make sure you have format the system drive and perform a clean install, not just override or upgrade from the previous system.
    The bootloaders for Windows Vista and Windows 7 are quite similar,  you could have a look at this article and see if it's helpful to you:

  • Iphone 4 is not detected by computer and itunes but it is charging

    Iphone 4 (IOS 7) is not detected by computer and itunes.
    I am the 2nd owner of this iPhone 4. I did all the troubleshooting said in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 but nothing resolved it.
    Troubleshooting I did:
    1. Used other iphone / ipod devices, it worked but not my iphone 4.
    2. Used different Windows OS and different computer, Win7 & Win8, still not detected.
    3. Used different USB cables, still not detected. But my current USB cable is working with other iPhone/iPod devices.
    3. Uninstall / Install iTunes, still not detected.
    4. There is no "X" in the device Manager, and also, portable devices is not showing upon plugging in the device.
    5. Made sure that the Apple Mobile Service is running.
    6. I only have iPhone devices, so I don't have any 3rd party Software conflicts.
    Please help me. Thanks!

  • Deleting iphone email does not delete from computer

    I am sure I must be missing something simple here....When I delete email from my iphone, it does not delete from my computer (either remotely or by syncing). So when I delete a bunch of emails, the very next time I open iphone email, it retrieves the very same emails just deleted....a viscious cycle. Can anyone assist with what must be a simple setting issue? Thank you.

    Nathan C:
    Thank you for your help.
    When .Mac is configured using the .Mac option on the
    iPhone it is always configured as IMAP. For that
    account, on your computer are you checking the
    messages via POP3, and on your computer, which
    program are you using to check those messages?
    .MAC Account - Home Computer: Under Mail/Preferences/Accounts it lists the Comcast account (from our ISP) as a POP and the .Mac account as ".Mac". I access mail thru Mac Mail Application and sometimes thru .mac thru the internet. Update on this account- I cleared the inbox and tried another test. Now it seems to be working. I delete a message from iphone and it will automatically delete from my home computer Mail App. and eventually it will be deleted from the .mac server when accessed thru the internet (these take much longer however). In any event it seem this account works now.
    Work Account:
    As for your work account, when looking at the
    settings, it should say POP3, IMAP and Exchange at
    the top. The button that is "pushed" is the one that
    account is using. The outgoing server should
    probably be smtp.comcast.net not smpt. Is that
    account using IMAP, POP3, or Exchange?
    I know these three options were there when the IT person set it up but now when I access this account in my iphone it does not tell me what was selected (IMAP,POP, or Exchange) under account information??? It seems to appear only when setting up a new account. Am I missing something?
    Also that was a typo. Outgoing server is listed as "smtp.comcast.net"
    So to give you as much info as I have:
    Incoming Mail Server is "Mail.(officeservername).com" and Outgoing is "smtp.comcast.net". (Using my Comcast ISP was the only way the IT person could get the email access from Iphone to work). And to calrify what is happening on the iphone:
    1.Email is accessed no problem from iphone, - downloading all new message from my work outlook works fine.
    2.When I delete messages on my iphone, however, it does not delete on my office computer which is on a server network. (Visa Versa does work - when I delete a message on my computer it will delete it on my iphone.
    3.NOTE : Contrary to what I posted earlier my iphone now is NOT "RELOADING" messages just deleted from Iphone but which remain on my office computer. This means half the problem is solved.
    4. THE ONLY THING LEFT TO FIGURE OUT IS HOW DO I CONFIGURE SO WHEN I DELETE A MESSAGE ON MY IPHONE I AM DELETING ALSO FROM MY Computer at work?
    (BTW in the above description I am referring to all wireless operation...not when syncing with iphone)
    Any final helpful thoughts? Thanks again.

  • Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of the installation. Windows 8.1

    Hi! I have a Lenovo G500 notebook with a new HDD. I try to do a clean install but i always get an error message" windows could not prepare the computet the boot into the next phase. Restart the insralattion."  i talked with my country's windows
    help line and the operator said i have to change something in the BIOS. Can somebody help me?

    Hi,
    You can enter BIOS, then change the Boot sequence for CD/DVD, HDD or USB. Make sure that the disk speck is enough for storing the installation files. Make sure the installation media is fine.
    Probably cause of this error is that the associated disk partition is corrupted. In this situation, you need to delete the partition and then repartition the hard drive, after that, try to install Windows again, check if error has gone.

  • I can print wirelessly through devices - iphone, ipad, but not from my computer

    I set my new printer up & it worked great.  I had no trouble printing from anywhere at all.  Now, I can use the printer from devices like my iPhone & my iPad, but I can't get it to print from a computer.  It says it's on & ready, but when I try to print, I get an error.  When I tried to scan it told me it wasn't communicating with the computer.  Can't seem to find a solution.  Please help!  Thanks!

    HI Garol,
    Thank you for the update, I am glad you were able to print, although only printing 2-3 times before quitting is not a resolution. I think what we should do is an uninstall and reinstall of the software and drivers. Please follow the steps listed below in order:
    1. Restore network defaults from the front panel of your printer
    Setup Menu > Wireless Menu > Restore Network Defaults
    2. You are going to do a Level 3 Uninstall- Please click on the link below and select Option 3
    HP Software and Driver Removal Utility
    3. You are now going to do a restart on your Router, Printer and Computer in this order please. Leave all products off for atleast 60 seconds and then turn them back on in the order you powered them off, router first, printer next and last your computer.
    4. Now we will run the Wireless Setup Wizard from the front panel of your printer
    Setup Menu > Wireless Menu > Wireless Setup Wizard
    * Now that we have the printer successfully connected to your network we will go ahead and continue with step 5 (see below)
    5.  Now we will install the software and drivers for your Photosmart 7525. I would like you to download and run the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.  It was created to help Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 users download and install the latest and most appropriate HP software solution for their HP Printer.
    Now you should be successfully installed and the HP shortcuts on your desktop should be working fine. Please let me know the result and if you require more assistance. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
