Problem with "updating" Windows 7... from Windows 7.

Hello,
I just bought a new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and I just installed BootCamp and Windows 7 Professional. The problem I have is that I bought an upgrade version of Windows 7, so I need to install Windows once without entering the product key, then, once Windows is installed, I need to install it again, from Windows, so that Windows thinks it really is an update and lets me enter my key and activate Windows (known as the "double install method"/"clean install from upgrade disc"). Everything worked well until I tried to install Windows for the second time. I got the "0x80070005" error, meaning that the install program couldn't write on the disk. This problem is known for users upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 and Apple has published a fix for this. I tried to install that fix, but since it is made for Windows Vista, it didn't work on Windows 7. So now, I'm stuck not being able to install the "update" of Windows 7.
Does anyone know a workaround for this issue?
Thank you very much!
Etienne

Thank you for your quick answer! I'm sure your solution would have worked, but I've finally found a quicker workaround with some very simple registry and command line manipulations. It's the method 2 described here.
Thank you!

Problem with Generating SNMP traps from Windows Events

Hi Supporter,
I configured some events to be translated to traps using evntwin for Service Control Manager and Local Session Manager events. But I just got traps from Service Control Manager event. There is no Local Session Manager events are generated. I checked
with Event Viewer that events are created. Do you have any idea to fix my problem?
Thank you!
Here is my config file from evntwin:
#pragma add "System" "Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager" 2952790037 1 0
#pragma add "System" "Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager" 2952790039 1 0
#pragma add "System" "Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager" 2952790040 1 0
#pragma add "System" "Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager" 2952790041 1 0
#pragma add "System" "Service Control Manager" 1073748864 1 0

#pragma ADD<EventLogFile> <EventSource> <EventID> [<Count> [<Period>]]
The parameter EventSource specifies the application that generates the event.
those maybe helpful...

Problem with Updated Webcam Software for Windows 7 (I AM NOT USING THE BETA VERSION OF WINDOWS 7)

I have a dv5-1235dx. HP posted new software for Win 7 (64) built in camera software. The install seemed to go fine, but once you click to run the software, nothing happens, so it seems. About a minute or so later, the application opens. Why is it taking so long to open. I have uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times and the problem still exist. I have tried to go back to the old vista version of the software (running in cap mode), but now that software takes a long time to load. I have done a restore, with no affect. What happened? Note: I am using the full retail version, not a beta of Win 7 Ultimate. None of the other Updated HP software has this problem. HP won't help because Windows is not officially released yet.

Have problems with transfering iTunes library from Windows to Macintosh

Good afternoon!
I had before Windows PC, where i had iTunes with all my music. And now i bought macbook pro. I tried to transfer iTunes library as it is described in a lot of sites in internet. But maximum what i could made - just to transfer all songs. And if before i have in iTunes folders with different music (David Garrett, Jason Mraz, music for baby, etc) now i have all songs (about 2 000) just in one list.
Could u help me please to transfer all music with folders like it was in iTunes in Windows PC.
Thanks in advance!

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168

Please let me know,why system is showing error even we maintain all the details.

Problem with update SCCM client to Sp1 CU3 on Windows 2008 server

- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - server update
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - console update
It will be stupid but... maybe I should deploy x64 client update package?

Lenovo Y570 problems after updating to Windows 10 from Windows 7

Hi everyone, I updated my operating system to Window 10 from Windows 7 four days ago and I am having a ton of problems. I lost a lot of my Lenovo interface options as well... One of the worst and most annoying problems is that randomly, for half a second, the computer stops and thinks which freezes up my typing. If I am writing something, when it wants to freeze it prevents me from typing that letter. It basically overrides my keyboard well it does that freezing for half a second. Also, when I have a drop down menu it will close when this happens or when I right click, the menu will disappear when this "glitch" happens. One of the biggest clues I found is under the task manager. In the Processes tab, when this "glitch" happens "Windows Problem Reporting" pops up for a half second. I am not sure if that is causing this problem or if something goes wrong and "Windows Problem Reporting" pops up because of something else? Is there a way to check and see what these "Windows Problem Reporting" are? My other problems are that my fan control does not work anymore. I had the option to control the speed and the sound of my fan before updating to Windows 10. Would Lenovo or Windows 10 ever going to sent a drive to fix this problem? Also, I can not control my GPU switch anymore. Before the update I could change my GPU from Intel HD card to Geforce 555M. Now I have no idea what GPU I am using and how to go back and forth. Is there a fix for this? Since all these problems occurred with the Windows 10 update, would it be better for me to go back to Windows 7 and wait to see if Lenovo and Windows ever going to create drives for Lenovo Y570? Is it advisable to switch back W7 and switch back to W10 later?

is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop. Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
or my usual solution for Windows Users.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck!

Problem with tv@nywhere plus on windows 8

hi
i have a problem with tv@anywhere plus on windows 8. i can setup the pvr plus app completely but when i open that and click on "watch and record dtv program" icon, i will see an error that says: "invalid class string!"
i think this problem should be for its driver because i'm using windows 8 64bit and the driver is for windows 7, i couldn't find an appropriate driver for windows 8 on MSI driver downloads, as matter of fact it didn't exist.
so what should i do for my problem?

I'm afraid TV@nywhere Plus is a bit outdated for Win8. There is no update so far since 2010. Could be MSI won't add Win8 support if it would be anyway possible.

It sounds as this issue:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

I have recently updated my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7. I have just added three new playlists to my Ipod Shuffle, 3rd generation. On the panel in ITunes in view on the computer, all looks fine and music plays. However, after syncing a million times, when clicking to "hear" the playlists, the voice will call out all the old playlists just fine - except for the 3 new ones I've added; it calls them out as "playlist 3, playlist 8, or "purchased". All software for the ITunes has been updated as of the moment. Why would switching from Vista to Windows 7 cause this frustrating issue? All help appreciated.

From page 23 of your iPod's User Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
If VoiceOver is disabled in iTunes, you hear an abbreviated menu of playlists in numbered order, but not by name (for example, “Playlist 1, Playlist 2,” and so on).
So you'll want to make sure VoiceOver is enabled to correct this.

How do I move music folders with individual music files from windows 7 to the itunes library so the files are usable in itunes?

All of the following programs should work with Vista.
Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
