Slow startup- new pavilion with windows 8
Hi there, I have only recently purchased a hp pavilion with the product key being: F5B53EA#ABU
The first few times I turned it on it was incredibly fast and I was impressed. I have moved my document from my old laptop onto it (not very many, just mainly word documents and pictures) and I have already uninstalled unecessary programmes however the start up is very slow compared to what it was before, I have to leave my laptop for 5-7 mins and then come back to see if it has finally started. Any help would be very appreciated.
Hello 2010freemana,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are having issues with your computer starting up slowly and are looking for assistance in getting it fixed. I have seen issues where certain Windows components are not re-initializing properly if the Fast Startup option is enabled. This is enabled, by default. Perform the following to disable it:
Step 1. Open Control Panel.
Step 2. Choose Hardware and Sound / Power Options.
Step 3. Click on Choose what the power button does on the left side menu.
Step 4. Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable at the top.
Step 5. Scroll down and Remove the check mark from the Turn on fast startup (recommended) option under Shutdown settings. Select the Save Changes button and exit Control Panel.
Step 6. Shut down (Not Restart) the computer, wait a few minutes and then start the computer.
As well I have seen this issue when people have an Anti-Virus installed with Windows 8. If the issue persists try disabling or uninstalling your Anti-Virus and see if that resolves your slow startup issue.
I believe this will resolve your slow start up issue in Windows 8. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

I have a new laptop, HP Pavilion with windows 8.1. Downloaded iTunes and plugged in my iPad mini. selected backup. iTunes will not back up all the music. And when I Imported a music CD to iTunes and selected sync, it will not upload that music to my iPad.

Very slow download speeds with new laptop with windows seven- WRT160N Router
Just bought a new Laptop with windows 7 and of course wireless. Download speeds are horrible (0.2 mbs) and upload speeds are normal for me ( 8mbs) Have a wrt160N Wire less router. Older laptop and desktop work fine with normal( around (8mbs) downloads and uploads.
How do I fix this?Do you have QOS enabled in your router? Did you try plugging the win7 laptop directly and check the speed?

My daughter gave me a new Ipod (Nano) for Christmas. I had no problem download my songs from my old Ipod (Shuffle) to the new one. However - since I do not buy songs on a regular basis, I did not buy a new song until 4/29/13. Now for information...sometime in March my old laptop died, completely. I had to go buy a new one - which I did and this new one has Windows 8 Operating System on it (which I hate, btw).
Now, when I bout a song on Tuesday, the song did not go to my new Ipod. I tried everything and finally had to talk to a tech - who was very kind in helping me and we did get all my songs from Itunes to this new computer. I thought the song I bought would then go on the Ipod - but it did not. I had already hung up from the tech - since we had been talking on the phone for about an hour. He informed me that he was giving me a "courtesy break" because it has been over 90 days since my new Ipod was purchased ---- just my darn luck!
Anyway, I have figured out on my own that the new Ipod Nano is not synced with the new laptop with Windows 8. I have been trying for the last 2 hours to get it to do so and in doing so, found out that Windows 8 is not mentioned in any of the help forums. So...my question is: Do I need to install drivers on the computer or what? I will not be purchasing anymore music from Itunes until I get this matter resolved. Any help will be apreciated. Thank you.

Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8
I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
Try installing from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

I am trying to install my CS4 Suite onto new PC with Windows 8. It installed Photoshop but nothing else. It is asking me to "Install with 'setup.exe'" Which i dont think is on there. Is there a way around this? Thanks in advance.
Run the cleaner tool and reinstall with sufficient user privileges and security stuff turned off. Your install went wrong because you didn't consider this.

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. -

I bought a new laptop with Windows 7. My computer name in Windows has changed, and now, my Ipad can't find Itunes, and Itunes can't find my Ipad. [email protected]
Ok, if reinstalling iTunes as suggested above does not resolve the issue of iTunes recognising the iPad then try this -
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are no faulty.
Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
As for making your new laptop your 'home computer' follow these instructions -
1. Without connecting your iPad to your computer -
A) Install iTunes / make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed.
B) Go to the Store tab and click on "Authorise This Computer".
C) Go to Edit, click on Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and click on Devices. Put a check mark in the box next to "Prevent iPods/iPhones/iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK and close iTunes.
2. Connect your iPad to your computer -
A) Start iTunes (it will not start automatically because of the action at 1(C) above).
B) Right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select "Transfer purchases".
C) When the transfer has completed, right click on your iPad again and select "Backup".
D) When the backup has completed, left click on your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and put a check mark in the box next to "Sync Apps", and then click on "Apply" (bottom right).
E) Unless you want to always do a manual sync (as I do), go back to Edit, Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and uncheck the box next to "Prevent your iPod.....".
F) Finally, on your iPad, check that everything is syncing properly. If not, go back to iTunes and check all settings.
NB You should not lose any apps. However, any 'purchased' missing apps can be downloaded again FOC. As with updates, this must be done with the Apple ID under which they were originally 'purchased'.
