Software center "recently installed software requires a computer restart"

I've no idea why I'm getting this message in the notification area. 
This message shows up a few mins after I have deployed an operating system task sequence to a laptop thin client (that uses File Based Write Filter). 
This message doesn't appear to pop-up if I have the write filter disabled. but when it's
enabled, the message comes up as described below.
If I open up Software Center, there is nothing showing anywhere, so I've no idea what is being deployed or causing this message to come up. I reboot and it goes into Service Mode, then eventually reboots and back into normal mode. 
How exactly can I tell what's going on? 

Did you ever figure out an answer to Service Mode right after an OSD task sequence?  I'm having the same issue myself and thought I'd check.  Thanks.

What I found was that the systems would go into service mode some point after re-imaging and I wasn't sure why. 
What I think has been helping so far is doing the following:
1. For FBWF settings, add the following to your file-based write filter (I've done this for HP MT41 systems running WES7. 
cmd /c fbwfmgr.exe /setthreshold 256
cmd /c fbwfmgr.exe /setpreallocation 1
cmd /c fbwfmgr.exe /setcompression 0
2. Within SCCM, make sure you have a collection created for the device you don't want to go into service mode, and ensure that the collection has as many queries as possible to ensure that the device gets put in the collection as soon as possible. 
3. On said collection, in its properties, set a maintenance window for a day of the past (like 12/2/2014 or something), and choose "NONE" for recurrence. 
I believe the above should get rid of the system going into service mode, so far a few weeks it's fixed that for me. 
Before, my systems would go into service mode, the software center would be up saying a reboot was in order, with the 15 minute or so timer on the screen, even with Windows Update completely disabled, and the file based write filter icon would be yellow.
I'd check Software Center from the Programs menu, and there was NOTHING in there. 
I checked the File Based Write Filter and there was nothing in the overlay to be committed. 
So when I checked SCCM and looked up the device that was in service mode, I used the powershell right-click tools to retrieve all Collections that the laptop was a member of, and it was not a member of the collection that had a past maintenance window, but
it was a collection of "All Systems" and "All Desktop and Server Clients", both of which had OSD Task sequences deployed to them. 
So, I'm lead to believe that, even though the Task Sequences deployed are only available via Media and PXE, that Windows Embedded systems have have a glitch where will still get the deployment signal, or it will have to disable the file-based-write-filter
(hence going into "service mode") and do nothing while it figures out how to handle the deployment. That's just a theory but I'm not sure what else to conclude.

    Hello, which exact update is this? Which OSX version?

  • Windows 8 - Windows could not cmplete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation

    Having SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 I attempted to do a pretty simple task.
    Create a capture media for Windows 8 64 Bit and capture the OS.
    The system in question is a Dell Latitude 6430u and OEM Windows 8.
    The system ran as expected, the capture went as expected, but when I deploy the image (Back to the same laptop mind you)
    The following occurs:
    Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation.
    Things that I've tried:
     Set the SATA to various modes as it was on RAID on as speculated in some posts
     Saw a posting that suggests pressing SHIFT F-10 to get in to some prompt and run oobe; doesn't work here, I think.
     Added Dell Driver Packs for the system
    As for log files, I'll check C:\Windows\Panther and see what's there.
    Any ideas on how to correct this? Is there a way to go in to the image itself to do so?

    Sorry, I'm not using CM2007, but CM 2012 SP1, CU3.
    I went through the smsts log and found several instances where drivers were missing so I'm guessing that's why it pitched a wobbly about not being a suitable system for the Windows setup.

    Which doesn't make sense since the image that I am trying to put on the system is the one I took it from. Before putting the image out I went to Dell's web site and got the Windows 8 drivers for the system and distributed them as I usually do.
    I got the drivers from here -
    http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/w/wiki/4372.latitude-6430u-windows-8-driver-cab.aspx
    What I don't get is that I can take the Windows 8 install.wim and do an OSD task with it and there is no issue with drivers.
    One other thing here is the log from the windows\panther folder:

  • After installing a required update, many of my normal applications (Word, Chrome, Adobe Reader) will simply crash after opening. Why?

    I recently installed a required printer (epson) update on my Macbook Pro (running Mt Lion).  After installing and going through the required restart, I discovered that many of my existing applications will not open; instead they simply crash moment after opening.  Prior to the update installation, everything worked fine.  I have gone through the disk utiities program and repaired the various disk permissions that needed changing and still nothing. My MacBook Pro is 4 years old, runs Mt Lion and has plenty of disc space available.  What do I need to do?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • The software required for comunicating with ipod is not installed correctly

    Hey
    I have recently had to reinstall windows xp on my laptop as the moder board crushed
    while the installation was done by a professional, since then everytime i plug my 30gb fifth generation ipod to synch with my Itunes library the following message appears:
    "The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. Please Reinstall Ipod to reinstall the ipod's software."
    what does that mean? i thought
    I tried to reinstall itunes over twenty times, sometimes deleting it beforehand using the task messenger, but no use.
    I have checked to see if my ipod works with other computers and he does, therefore its a problem of the itunes, or my computer.
    I am reaching desperation, as i am unable to update and synch my ipod for over a month now.
    i need either a solution or a way of maybe installing an older version of itunes, which may work.
    can anyone help?
    please?

    i did the research for you and found the link for the 7.5...

  • "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed..."

    I realize my explanation of my problem is long-winded, so if you want a shortened version, here it is:
    I've followed all the instructions trying nearly everything, and no matter what I do, iTunes gives me the error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software." My G5 iPod (60GB) works on two other computers (both without any music on them), so I assume there something wrong with my computer and not the iPod itself.
    Now for the long-winded story of the last eight hours of my life...
    I just got the Generation-5 iPod Video (60GB) a today and I'm having problems already. I followed the instructions and installed the iPod software and then plugged in my iPod (iTunes has been on my computer for a while now). I was expecting iTunes to open after plugging in the iPod, but my device manager only detected and installed "a new device". I manually opened iTunes and got an error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
    After re-installing the iPod software and iTunes, and restarting my computer countless times, I came looking for help here. I found this page, which seemed to outline my problem exactly. My computer recognizes the iPod as a drive, but iTunes won't have anything to do with it. I have all the symptoms outlined in the heading, so I hoped to solve my problem there. I followed the instructions step-by-step, and after the final restart, I open iTunes to get the same exact error message.
    I decided to determine whether there was a problem with my iPod or if it was my computer. I plugged my iPod into my uncles's powerbook, and got to the point where I can name and configure my iPod. I expected it to work flawlessly on a Mac (which it did) but there is no way for me to continue using a Mac (after tomorrow) for my iPod. This formatted the iPod for a Mac, so I went to another (different from the original) Windows computer, clean of any iTunes and iPod software, and followed the instructions exactly as they're supposed to be followed. After the installations, I plugged in my iPod, and although iTunes didn't open, I was able to format back to Windows and name my iPod (a step in the right direction). I should note that my (anti-iPod) computer is a Windows XP Pro, and the working one is Windows XP Home Edition. This was all well and good, until I remembered there was no music on this computer. So my iPod is completely working there, but there isn't anything I can do with it.
    Next, I came back here and browsed around the discussion boards, hoping to find somebody with a similar problem to mine. There seems to be alot of errors concerning iTunes not recognizing the iPod, but none of the solutions I tried worked for me, including changing the drive letter. I get the "iPod Service Error" while trying to restore to factory settings through iPod updater.
    Of course, I could transfer all 32GB of music from one computer to another, but the second (working) computer isn't mine and I won't have access to it in a couple months. It would be most convenient if I could get my iPod working on my own computer. Any help would be appreciated, especially from somebody who has solved this problem or know how to solve this problem.
    P.S.
    Here are some other minor details that my be important, but I didn't feel they were worth including.
    - My brother has his iPod mini set up on my computer, under a different user login. He gets the same error once in a while, but re-installing iTunes always solves the problem for him. I had him try solving my problem his way, but nothing worked for him either.
    - My computer is an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+, 512MB RAM with Windows XP Pro SP2 installed. My internal hard drive is partitioned, using the letters C, D and H (C being my system files, D used for recovery files and H for my applications and games). My E drive is used as a DVD/CD-ROM Drive, and drives F and G are reserved for virtual drives (none have been running during this entire ordeal). My external hard drive uses the letter I, and I manually set my iPod to use the letter J (I've never used 'J' for anything else before).
    - Yes, I have downloaded and installed the latest versions of iTunes and the iPod software.
    - I'm assuming there is a problem with my computer and not my iPod, since it worked on both other computers I tried. I'm hoping it's as simple as changing a registry file or cleaning out (yet another) temp directory.

    Solution to "Software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed"!
    I battled this same problem for about 5 hours. Going through re-installations, the "5 R's", all these discussion boards. Nothing worked.
    The problem is that iPodService was repeatedly crashing after minute or so. You can verify this by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete and noting that iPodService is missing from the process list (sort by image name), or by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting "Manage", then going to Services and checking out the IPodService service - if it gives you the option to "Start", then it's not running.
    Here is what worked.
    1. De-install iTunes and iPod (if you have the updater installed) completely by going to Start --> Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs. Also delete the C:\Program Files\iTunes and c:\Progam Files\iPod\bin directories. (Don't worry, this doesn't affect your saved music files.)
    2. Log in as an Administrator
    3. Go into the registry (note this is dangerous - you should be careful) and remove the iPod entries that the uninstaller misses.
    3.1 Go to Start menu --> Run.
    3.2 Type in "regedit".
    3.3 Go to HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodService.iPodManager.
    There are two keys here, iPodManager and iPodManager.1. In my case, I did not have permission to view either of these. I think this is the root cause of the problem. I think the installer can't properly update these because it doesn't have permission. So you need to change the permissions:
    3.4 Right-click on IPodService.IPodManager
    3.4.1 Select "Permissions..." A warning will appear saying you don't have permission, but that you can change permissions.
    3.4.2 On the window that launches, click on "Advanced..."
    3.4.3 Click on the "Owner" tab.
    3.4.4 Select a valid account (the one you're logged in under) under "Change Owner To".
    3.4.5 Hit "OK".
    3.4.6 Back on the main Permissions window, hit Add and add the same account as a valid user.
    3.4.6.1 Where it says "Enter the object names to select", type in the account name, e.g. "Smith".
    3.4.7 Click on the "Allow" checkboxes for "Full Control" and "Read".
    3.4.8 Hit "OK".
    3.5 Repeat procedure for the "iPodManager.1" key.
    3.6 Now right-click and delete both of these keys.
    I think that's all that's required, but I also searched through the registry and deleted the following keys.
    4. Other keys I deleted:
    4.1 HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodManager.IPodManagerUI.1
    4.2 HKEYLOCALMACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> Apple Computer Inc. --> iPod
    I think that's all I deleted, but I'm not positive. I seached for instances of "ipod" using the Find... and Find Next functions under the Edit menu.
    5. Exit out of the registry editor.
    6. Re-install iTunes. I re-installed iTunes and reconnected the iPod, and everything worked.
    I want to repeat that editing the registry can completely mess up your computer if you modify the wrong things, so only do this if you're comfortable, and be extremely careful.
    Hopefully this helps!
    Apple support people: assuming this works, please add it to your solutions page, and feel free to reimburse me for spending half of Christmas figuring this out.

  • Software required is not installed correctly, please reinstall Itunes

    I've been at my Dad's house helping build some tables in the past couple of months. I've turned on my pc last sunday and had 15 updates from windows update., so i let it download and install them as i was unpacking.
    I started up iTunes and it said there was an update, so I installed the new version, along with the new firmware.
    Since then, I get the erro:
    "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iYunes to install the iPid's software."
    I've gone through all the 5 R's, http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716, but I can stil see it on my pc, but not iTunes or the Updater.
    I've ended the iPodservice.exe, restart, use iTunes/updater, but the iPodservice.exe is running before I use them, but is gone when I use either iTunes or the updater. I can't find anything in the event viewer stating anthing wrong.
    I've read other threads, a bit annoyed of how the forum has the posts set left and right and not in exact order of date and time of post, but that's my opinion. But yet I have not found a explanation of why this is happening, and a most accurate way to fix this.
    If anyone needs to know, I'm using a 5gen 30gig iPod. I never had this problem before or any problem before either.
    Only thing I can assume is window's current updates messed it up just to make the Windows visa look good when it comes out.

    First, for the forum view issue. Go to My Settings (on the right) and in General Settings change the Topic Page View to Flat. Click Save. Posts should show up in the order they were written.
    Have you seen this?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93764
    Also, since you said that you've gone through the 5 Rs, I would assume that you used the iPod Updater to restore (since there is no other way of doing it and you don't "run" the 5 Rs).
    When you restored, did you use the latest updater?
    You may also want to try formatting the iPod through Windows. Connect it to the computer and when it appears in My Computer right click it and go to format. Does anything happen? Can you format the iPod through Windows?

  • Error - The software required for the ipod is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall itunes to install the required sotware

    When trying to load music from ITunes to my ipod I receive the error "The software required for the ipod is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall itunes to install the required sotware"
    What should I do to correct the error? 

    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 notes below the box include tips on removing troublesome components.
    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 installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • The software  required to communicated with iPods was not installed properly

    Upon connecting my iPod to iTunes I get this message: "The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?"
    Upon answering YES, iTunes shows an iPhone indicator in the upper right corner (even though a phone is not connected); but upon connecting the iPod, nothing happens.
    So.......I try reinstalling iTunes as a REPAIR and get this message: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.  Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes64msi" in the box below.
                      Use Source:
                                  C:\Users\User\AppData|Local|Apple Software
    How can i fix this and not lose my 10,00 plus iTunes Library?
    Thanks for any help.

    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.  Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes64msi"
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
