Itunes update required restart, now my laptop will not start up

So I downloaded Itunes 8.0 and when it finished it gave me a dialog box that said i had to restart to make the changes effective. I said OK, but instead of restarting my laptop, it shut it down. I have tried many times to start it up,and NOTHING is working. I called HP and they could not fix it and wanted me to ship it to them. They will do a system restore which will erase my 8000 songs and photos. Please help I am running Vista and there seem to be a lot of problems with this update.

It is a laptop, and the only thing it does is the lights flash on for maybe a second, and then it turns off. I managed to get it to turn on, but the screen was completely black and the keypad was unresponsive to all keystrokes... HP wants me to send it to them and they will do a system restore which will wipe out everything.... Very bad news for me.

    Hi JG14usa,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you attempted an update on your daughter’s iPhone but the update will not complete. For this type of situation, it may be necessary to place your iPhone into recovery mode and restore. Please use the instructions located in the attached article to complete this process.

  • I have Windows 8 pro on my computer .  I un-installed itunes on my computer to re-install itunes 7.1.1  Now the system will not allow the re-install.  Can anyone help?

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 7580 similar to the 8600 you have and after upgrading to Mountain Lion it wouldn't work. HP support site said download updates for Mountain Lion from App Store not their site so I went to software update but there were NO UPDATES FOR 10.8.  Tried a million things and could not get printer to work.  So I restored back to Lion figuring at least printer worked then only now I can't get it to work with old settings either. I am sick to death of claims by Apple and peripheral manufacturers that everything is compatible all you have to do is get updates well in this case THERE ARE NONE TO BE GOT and I don't have time to **** about trying to find 'work arounds'.  There shouldnt be a need for work-arounds. Unless the updates are ready DONT release the new OS.  You shouldn't have to be an IT tech to make basic things like printing work.  I see also the HP 8600 is even sold by appstore so there is no reason why it shouldn't work with minimum fuss. 

  • I have a new wireless router and now my laptop will not recognize the printer.

    I recently installed a new wireless router,Linksys E2500, and now my laptop will not connect to my OfficeJet 4500 wireless printer.  Operating system is Windows XP.  Says it does not recognize the printer.  It was working fine with my other Linksys router and I have been able to connect all of my other electronic equipment.  Thanks.

    You must reinstall the full feature software and drivers again to be sure it will work with the new router.  This is the fastest way.  Simply follow the instructions that came with the printer.

    Hello -
    Try this:
    - When you receive the error message that is described in the "Symptoms" section, click Restart.
    - Press F8 repeatedly as your computer begins to restart. This triggers the Windows Advanced Options menu.
    - Use the arrows on your keyboard to select Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER.
    (Also, You can try Safe Mode and do a "System Restore" from there.)
    ***Last Resort, you will have to edit the registry and this may prevent your computer from booting***
    - boot your system and tap away at F8
    - Select Safe Mode
    - After Windows loads into safe mode.
    - Start >> Run >> “regedit” Press Enter.
    - Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
    - Look for the GinaDLL Key
    - Select and delete this key and this key ONLY. DO NOT delete the entire Winlogon folder of keys.
    - Close Regedit with the RED "X"and reboot the machine

  • HT201263 Help.  My wife's iPad will not start up.  I updated it two nights ago (Nov 12) to the latest  IOS.  It seemed to update normally. However, today it will not start or give any response.  I tried to do a restore, but it will not let me do that.

    Help!!!!!!  My wife's iPad will not start up.  I updated two nights ago to the latest IOS and today it will not do anything.  It is charged and I've tried to access it through itunes to no avail.

    From your text, it's difficult to determine if the problem lies with the iPad or the cable.
    If the iPad still works, but you're having a problem with the sync, you may want to check all the cables and connections. If the iPad doesn't work (frozen or unresponsive), post and we'll go through the checklist together.

  • HELP urgently needed: My Sandberg FireWire for Laptop will not start on my T60

    Let me start with information on my T60:
    OS information: Microsoft Windows XP
    OS version: 5.10.2600   Service Pack 2
    Processor: x86 Family 6 Model 14 Stepping 8
    Memory: 3.135.856 kb
    BIOS version: 2.09  (79ETC9WW)
    Machine type-Model: 1951A47
    I have just got a new Sandberg FireWire for Laptop, a PC Card with 3 6-pins connectiont. After inserting the card in the PC Card slot, the Windows Device Manager tells me that there are problems with the card. Looking at the 1394 Card Properties the status says:
    "This device cannot start. (Code 10) - Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."
    The troubleshooter did not solve my problem. I have tried disconnecting, re-connection, shut down Windows and start again etc.
    At Sandberg Help Desk they tell me that I have two slots in my laptop, one with a 16 bits bus and another with a 32 bits slots, and I should use the latter. It seems that I can use the lower slide only in my laptop and I cannot push the card into the upper slide. There is not enough room for it.
    Here is what I found on Lenovo's support site on my type & model:
     PC Card
    Conforms to the PC Card Standard 95
    Type II slot
    Both the 16-bit Release 2.1 card standard and the 32-bit CardBus card are supported.
    Have a look at these screen captures.
    What should I do to solve my urgent problem!?

    Sounds to me like a driver configuration problem.  Maybe something bad happened during driver install.  I would recommend uninstalling the device from device manager by right clicking on it and hitting uninstall.  Reboot the computer.  Have a go at it again.  Also, test your pcmcia port functionality by finding and plugging in a different card.  See if that works.  It might need repair.

    The status right now is:
    The PC Card reader works on my T60
    If I use a Firewire PC Card it will not start - as described above (on T60)
    The PC Card work properly on my T61P - and I succeeded importing a video file from a digital camera using the Fireswire PC Card.
    So what does a wise man do in this situation??
    Please help me as I urgently need to know how to solve this serious issue!! 
    Have you got an idea? Can I import the video in another way??

  • Laptop will not start t410

    Hello , i have a t410 that i am having issues with ..
    when the laptop is shut down through windows completly it will not start at all . 
    i have read through some forum issues that where similar to mine but did not help..
    when i remove the cmos battery and after 20-30 seconds plug it back in , then the laptop  will start and work fine , but it asks to put date and time in BIOS .. 
    it will work for hours  , no problem , but once shut down , it will not start back up again until the cmos battery is taken out and put back in ..
    if i am in windows , and i choose to RESTART laptop , it will restart , but this problem only happens when i go to complete shut down .
