PC crashed, could not boot installed Windows 7 now cannot authorize

Hi,
Yesterday my little netbook crashed, I had Xp on it with iTunes installed and authorised to play video. I couldn't get it to boot so I decided now was a good time to upgrade to Windows 7. Now I've installed itunes again but now it says the computer cannot be authorised because I have authorised 5 of 5 computers. I tried to deathorise all (in Itunes on my MBP) but it says I can only do this once a year and I have to wait until September????
So how do I deathorise a computer that has been wiped and had a new OS installed? They should be using Mac addresses to store PCs, that way it would still be active. Also I should be able to deathorise individual computers in my iTunes account.

I resolved this issue. I'm adding it here incase anyone has the same issue. I contacted Apple support online via their website and they very kindly deauthorised all computers for me so I was able to start over. Very helpful of them.

  • Hi, I tried installing the new software update to my iPod touch this morning, got an error message that I could not finish installing it, and now my iPod is completely unresponsive, please help? It won't respond when I plug it into iTunes or anything.

    Hi, thank you for helping me! Every time I plug it into the USB port of my computer, there is an image on my iPod touch that shows a USB cord and tells me to plug it into iTunes, but it is completely unresponsive. I have tried holding the home and power buttons simultaneously for 15 seconds, and that does not do anything either. Any ideas? Thank you so much!

    Do you remeber the exact (or close to it) wording of the error message?

  • I saved an old profile. Could not correctly install it. Now TB will not install because profile is missing.

    I tried deleting or removing Thunderbird several times and I still can't get it to install so I can try to swap out the default profile with the one I want to install.
    Thanks for your help. Ken.

    %appdata% and delete the Thunderbird folder in explorer when it opens
    That is the profile and the pointer to the profile deleted.
    Now if you have access to your old computer go to %appdata% on it and copy the Thunderbird folder and it's sub folders including your profile. It will copy the profile and the pointer file to the profile. No more fiddling should be required when you copy into the new new computer..

  • NICI could not be installed error msg while pushing C32 4.91 SP1 upgrade

    Hello.
    I have a couple hundred W2K workstations running Client 32 4.9 SP2 with
    ZENworks 3.2 SP3 client pieces (workstation manager, remote manager).
    I am pushing Client 32 4.91 SP1 out to a few test computers via ZENworks
    3.2 SP3. Users are "locked down" (are not Administrator equivalent nor
    Power Users) or have Administrator equivalence) . Only 1 computer had a
    problem thus far, which the user had Administrator equivalence. The error
    message is as follows:
    Window is labeled "NICI U.S./Worldwide (128 bit)":
    "The InstallShield Engine (iKernel.exe) could not be installed. The system
    cannot find the path specified."
    I clicked OK and another window appeared:
    "There was an error installing Novell International Cryptographic
    Infrastructure (NICI).
    Error Code: "
    Client 32 installs, but not completely because of this.
    I verified that IKernel.exe existed under
    "C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\engine\6\Intel 32", and had
    the proper permissions (I compared against my workstation and the one that
    failed).
    I was able to run X:\C32491.SP1\WINNT\i386\nici\wcniciu0.exe (the network
    path, or \\<my server>\SYS\Public\C32491.SP1\WINNT\i386\nici\wcni ciu0.exe)
    (all objects have proper trustee assignments) and install NICI to the local
    workstation fine as the admin-equivalent user.
    Any clues for the error message and how to fix? I foresee more of these
    issues if I roll this out - and that isn't good.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Am doing a workaround.

  • Windows Deployment Services - Windows 8.1 Deployment Failure (Required Driver could not be Installed)

    Hello everyone,
    Give you a little background on the hardware/software which we are running to do a Windows 8.1 Deployment, we have an VM of Windows Server 2008 R2 with Windows Deployment Services installed and configured correctly. For the boot image it's a Windows 8.1
    WIM and as for the Install Image we have a base image of Win 8.1 with all drivers installed for an HP EliteBook 8540w , we Syspreped and then capture the image using the W2K capture on PXE to capture and upload the image to the server. This is where we first
    ran into the problem of connecting to the server and had to inject the lan drivers to have network connectivity. After the image was uploaded to the server, we thought to try and run a deployment of that image on an identical laptop. PXE boot into that Image,
    it asks for domain credentials which are accepted it begins the installation process and fails at "Windows installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed"?
    We just set up client logging on the server and it is useless it just says that the driver is missing, but what driver is missing? There are thousands, which one?
    Another forum has this issue:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/4cf0b378-09d0-4e0b-bc6e-3d898b668f98/during-deployment-windows-installation-cannot-continue-because-a-required-driver-could-not-be?forum=w8itproinstall

    Hi,
    Please first check the solution here:
    Error: Windows installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed
    http://support.brainwaregroup.com/kb/article/AA-00702/0/Error%3A-Windows-installation-cannot-continue-because-a-required-driver-could-not-be-installed.html
    Also, please try to find out Setup logs from the client computer, and we can see the details in the Setup log:
    If the failure occurs in Windows PE before the disk configuration page of the WDS client is completed, you can find the logs at the
    X:\Windows\Panther folder. Use Shift+F10 to open a command prompt, and then change the directory to the location.
    If the failure occurs in Windows PE after the disk configuration page of the WDS client is completed, you can find the logs on the local disk volume at the
    $Windows.~BT\Sources\Panther folder. The local disk volume is usually the drive
    C. Use Shift+F10 to open a command prompt, and then change the directory to the location.

  • Im trying to install iTunes on my friend's Dell XPS, running windows vista ultimate (32-bit), but whenever I reach the end of the install, it pops up with an error telling me:   "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) could not be instal

    Trying to install iTunes on my Laptop, running windows 7 (64-bit), but whenever I reach the end of the install, it pops up with an error telling me:
    "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services"

    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.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    I tunes tries to update over and over again to 10.2.2.  Each time it fails and lists  message"Service 'ipad service'could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privelege to install system services."
    I have an iphone and use itunes to update it. I do not have an ipad if that is an issue.  Is this problem related to apple, or to Windows vista?  I am system administrator on Windows 7 so the problem must be related to apple. I would appreciate a clue as to what I need to do. Or are there sufficient problems with 10.2.2 that I should be happy it will not update? This problem is getting beyond annoying since i have work to do other than cater to apple itunes.

    I would say it is Windows.

  • 210-4125 will not boot when windows 7 x64 is installed

    i have posted this problem a while ago "210-4125 will not boot when windows 7 x64 is installed"
    hoping that some one new might have had the same problem
    HP.......................................HP MINI PC  210-4125

    acording to INTEL the cpu is X64 bit, but the bios will not let a X64 boot up only a x32 bit ?
    and i get a message on black screen  "you are trying to load an opperating system not compatable" or some thing like that
    it would seem that the bios is the problem and not the CPU ? the 08 bios update only covers x32 bit and not x64
    if any one out there is running x64 bit windows 7 on the 210-400 range of netbook   can you tel me

    thank you

    thank you George
    i will bear that in mind next time
    i see that you work for HP ? do you have any suggestion's for my problem ?
    as i mentioned before the notebook works faultlessly when X64 windows 7 is installed via the OEM disk in the external DVD drive , but if i disconnect the DVD drive it will not boot, but gets stuck in boot loop , then if i connect the drive with any windows installation disc loaded in it , it loads perfect and works perfect even if i disconnect when loaded  , but i can not keep the drive connected ?
    i have tried to use a USB flash drive to install X64 windows 7 but it comes back that the present CPU is not compatible ??
    when it clearly states on Intel web site that it is and it works perfect when loaded ?? even the Windows update manager confirms that it will run all X64 windows OS
    i understand the the bios "InsydeH20" is a very difficult bios to work with, and that Insyde have blocked the "hidden menu" via software ? i have exhausted all the software functions to open the complete bios that i can find at the moment  ,  i think it is locked out from out side the bios and not from inside.?
    any  pointers in the right direction would be very helpful  ,
    many thanks

    Hi,
    The problem is a unsuccesful installation of driver in the driverstore, the first step would be to ensure that you are using the latest driver for the hardware and operating system or you’re experiencing
    compatibility issues with a driver.
    Then I suggest pressing shift+f10, and type diskpart then lisk disk, view whether all disks work fine.

  • I tried installing an update to QuickTime. An error occurred and it wouldn't install. I tried removing the QuickTime program, but a window appeared telling me that a fatal error  ccurred during installation and I could not remove the program.  Now what?

    I tried installing an update to QuickTime. An error occurred and it wouldn't install. I tried removing the QuickTime program, but a window appeared telling me that a fatal error  ccurred during installation and I could not remove the program.  Now what?

    I tried removing the QuickTime program, but a window appeared telling me that a fatal error  ccurred during installation and I could not remove the program.
    I think we'd better see if some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in the system files on the PC. (If there's a version mismatch between the old componentry and the "QuickTime proper" componentry, that can create those symptoms.)
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "system32" folder.
    What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Vista will not boot/install after performing a restore to factory settings on satellite l305

    I have a satellite l305 that i bought new thru walmart.com about a year & a half ago, and for the past few months it seems like there are more & more issues with this pc that are causing it not to work properly-everything from drivers failing-or even disappearing, in some cases-to  crashing into a blue screen everytime i insert a micro sd card into the slot.. My sound drivers are gone & even after i THOUGHT i downloaded them again, they still won't install or even recognize that they are there and then yesterday it suddenly stopped being able to fully load some of my fave games  that i play daily.. I have tried EVERY SINGLE SUGGESTION in EVERY  article, forum, help site, etc.,that i could find & even tried to get help over the phone from a pc tech here locally, and nothing has been able to fix my issues. I have done so many system restores from so many different restore points, installed updates, uninstalled updates, tried to install new drivers, rolled back drivers, started in safe mode to do diagnostics checks, entered BIOS & checked EVERY setting, reset all settings to default, checked error logs, etc., etc., etc...I have even completely disassembled my entire laptop & checked all wiring, fuses, etc., made sure everything was working, etc., So, finally yesterday I decided that it's gotta be something to do with a tech issue-probably with my vista home premium OS that came pre-installed at purchase, so i thought it best to just go ahead & go into the back up & restore & back up all my files onto an external hd using the file transfer wizard option inside the restore center, and then proceed into restoring the pc to it's factory, or "out of box", state. And i assumed i covered my bases by saving the back up-just in case...ohhh no-not the case at all!
    It did't even occur tp me to that i might need an actual BOOT disk for vista after the fact. I just assumed that "out of box" meant just how it originally came-WITH vista pre-installed & ready to set up-like it did the day i bought it! i also was under the assumption that, isnce it never asked for a product key or anyting to activate vista then, that it wouldn't need one now either. But anyway, so this is where i'm at now-after i did the factory restore & turned it back on, it said to wait while windows finishes installing-but it never finished, then finally about an hour later, it said that windows was unexpectedly interrupted during installation & did not complete, and for me to restart pc to try install again. But after i did that, it was the same thing over & over. it NEVER installs!
    So then i decided to go ahead & "restore windows using back up image" that i created on my external hd prior to  the factory restore, thinking that  it would just kinda pu **bleep** all back, but thats not working either. it recognizes the drive, and takes me to a menu where i can actually even view all the files on the drive and even tho they are known by my pc to be back up files, it still won't associate them to being back up files to MY PC!! I even got desperate enough to find a site that claimed to offer a free vista boot disk in the form of an iso image that i burned onto cd & tried to boot from as well. That actually took me to an install screen for windows & all the way to where it asks for product key-which DID NOT come locatedon any sticker anywhere on my laptop, and because they DID NOT include any OS utility, install, or boot disks with the purchase of my laptop, i don't know what the product key is OR where else i might be able to find that info, and i WILL NOT pay for ANOTHER ONE,  just because they were too lazy or cheap to send  the disks with the pc! so i tried to skip this step till later, but when i skip it, it shows anpther error saying that install was terminated & could not finish install & if i wish to continue, for me to restart my pc & re-attempt install..WHAT IS GOING NE WITH THIS AND WHAT CAN I POSSIBLY DO TO JUST BE ABLE TO USE MY LAPTOP AGAIN?? HELP ME PLEASE SOMEONE!!

    Hi,
    I do not really understand... Did you made a backup before restore to factory settings? And did you copy all backup files to an external device? If not, the data is gone!
    Why? Restoryng to factory does not mean a reinstallation. It means to fill the whole harddisk with an image of the first (factory) installation. All other data will be destroyd! Other partitions are deleted and normally you find only one big partition - the whole hdd.
    If you have a complete backup on external drive and it is corrupted during restore, try to open the files manually. Maybe you can restore some single files.
    Good luck
    kind regards
    Stefan
