  • My new computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone when connected via USB.

    My new Dell Computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone 5 when connected via USB.  I have reinstalled iTunes to no avail.

    Hey, I may have to if I can't get this one to work!!
    I have tried a different USB to no avail.  Both cables work on my old Dell so I don't believe they are the issue. 
    I uninstalled iTunes as directed by Apple Support and reinstalled.  Apparently, Apple Mobile Device Support is not loading with it because it does not show up in programs. 

  • HT1369 Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync with iPod Classic 120G.  Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch?  Is there a simple sloution?

    Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G.  Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch?  Is there a simple solution.  Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

    Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • New computer with 7.01 firefox does not show previous bookmarks tho all other files restored with my ClickFree backup. Found the profile but cant open places.sqlite

    safely transferred all my saved files from old dead Vista to new computer with Windows 7 except for my firefox 7.01 bookmarks & QuickNote add on. i downloaded QuickNote but it is blank too. Found the profile C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\8oy034hg.default & places.sqlite but cant open the file.Windows ask what program I want to open the places.sqlite file & i said Firefox but it doesnt open. How do I open the file & get my bookmarks & QuickNote back. help pls

    Why not install and try Firefox portable, it may well be a good troubleshooting step. Try running it from an external memory stick.
    The threads you referred to
    * [/questions/956861] was closed but never solved
    *[/questions/958824] similar
    Some system information would help
    *How much RAM is installed ?
    *What is the total size of the Hard Disk Drive ?
    *What is the current amount of free-space in GB ? and as a percentage ?
    I try not to use Windows but certainly at one stage a rule of thumb was 20-25% free space should be available. Under about 12% defragging of a disk would likely fail. A page file would need to be larger than the amount of RAM maybe 1.5X , and a hibernate file would be the size of the RAM.
    * Do not Hibernate if you are low on HDD space.
    I suggest you proceed as follows
    #Answer the above questions. I worry you have a lack of diskspace.
    #Do a full scan with multiple and up-to-date anti-malware tools. Do not rely on Avast alone. No tool picks up everything. Report back what you scanned with and what was found.
    #Backup and keep whatever profiles may be good or may contain recent information such as passwords and bookmarks, but do not use them yet.
    #Download a new installer then Do a clean reinstall of Firefox, ensuring that the program folders are deleted before you re-install.
    #Now restart, you expect the first restart to work. Close down and try again does it now work OK ?
    The detailed instructions in the thread you read [/questions/958824#answer-436552] should help you.
    If you have continuing problems is this after a restart of Firefox, or a restart of the Windows Operating System ?

    I purchased a new pc with Windows 7. I tried to load the HP Solution Center for my HP PSC 1401 printer but

  • How to install Adobe Flash Player plug in on my new computer with Windows 8.

    How can I install Adobe Flash Player which does not have a plug in on my new computer with Windows 8.  The instructions tell me that Flash Player is embedded in my Internet Explorer but all my choices for playig videos say no plug in is installed.

    See: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448
    If that fails,
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.

  • How can I install Photoshop Elements 11 on a new computer with Windows 8?

    How can I install Photoshop Elements 11 on my new computer with Windows 8?

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • How can I transfer my music from my iPod (4G Touch) to a new computer with windows 7?

    Help.  My old computer crashed and all my music from my CDs is still on my iPod but I need to get it into itunes onmy new computer with windows 7.  I have found a number of procedures online that apparently work for earlier versions of windows but i can't figure them out for windows 7.  Any suggestions from folks who have solved this proble would be appreciated.

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - To transfer other music you will nee a third-party program like those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - If you have synced photos then you will have to use a paid program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. Those also do music
    - Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup does not contain synced media like app and music.

  • PIXMA330 and new computer with Windows 8.1. Error Code 2,148,0 when trying to scan

    I have a PIXMA330 and bought new computer with Windows 8.1. I get error code 2,148,0 when trying to scan. I tried to download updated driver but still have the problem. Is this common? Thank you.

    You may have a BIOS problem, but there are no drivers for the BIOS.  The BIOS is the system firmware.  You will have to go to the support website of the computer/motherboard manufacturer to look for a BIOS update as Windows has nothing to do with
    the BIOS - that is the sole responsibility of the computer/motherboard manufacturer.

  • HP Director software needed for new computer with windows 8

    I have a Deskjet 5510 and went from Windows XP to a new computer with Windows 8 (64 bit).  The driver installed when I plugged the printer in, but I haven't been able to find HP Director to install.   I tried to do an install from the website, but it just told me that the driver was already installed correctly.  The Director is a pretty important piece of the printer, can I get it back?

    Hi, due to the age of the printer HP does not support 5510 in Win8.
    Take a look at this link for further info & workarounds.

    What do I need to do. Sent an email to Apple; but just got a computer generated response with no helpful advice.

    Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

    Hello!
    Could you tell us if you are talking about Photoshop 4.0 that was released in 1996, or Photoshop CS4 (PS 11), or Photoshop elements 4?
    Older version might not work if your C: drive is bigger than 1TeraByte.
