[Solved] Windows Activation problem after reinstalling Windows

Hi
I have managed to create 5 recovery dvds with BurnRecovery to reinstall windows on a newly created partition. I've gone from a 1 SSD system partition (AHCI) to a 2 SSD system partition (RAID).
problem is windows won't activate because it says my serial key is installed in another computer! Which obviously is my computer but the previous installation.
What can I do??

No problem I called Microsoft and an automated process have me a confirmation code to activate it.

Sync problem after reinstalling windows

Last week I had Windows XP with the latest version of iTunes and my iPod could sync without any problems. But after I installed Windows 7, even if I have the same iTunes version, it won't sync anymore. I even tried a reset on the iPod and reinstalling iTunes, nothing works. I don't even get an error message. All it says is this:
The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. An internal device error occured.
The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. A folder was specified instead of a file.
The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (0xE8004006).
The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. There are too many files open currently.
Another one with a duplicate file, but I can't get it to appear right now.
It's always a different one. And sometimes iTunes even crashes and I have to reopen it.
What should I do?

have chosen to manually manage my iTunes library rather than copying all these MP3s to the iTunes folder.
Do you mean you checked *Manually manage music and videos* when the iPhone is selected? This is completely sepearate from managing yoru library. This allows you to manually manage the content on the iPhone.
Can I backup iTunes without actually making a backup of all my music files?
Yes. Copy /Music/iTunes/folder to the external drive.
My problem is that after reinstalling Windows my iPhone now wants to erase itself
So you have already reinstalled Windows?
If so, you cannot backup anything that is not there since you you already erased it when you reinstalled Windows.
BEFORE you reinstall Windows, you need to Deauthorize iTunes and backup /Music/iTunes/folder and all your media.

[solved] dhcpcd: timed out after reinstalling arch

Hi erveryone!
After reinstalling arch I can't connect to my wireless network anymore.
Typed:
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant_vienna.conf
dhcpcd wlan0
Got:
dhcpcd: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: timed out
wpa_supplicant_vienna.conf (ssid and psk deleted):
network={
ssid=""
proto=RSN
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=
I reinstalled arch on my netbook at the same time and there's everything working fine (even with the same wireless-card). The only difference between the two systems is that my laptop has an i686 installation while on my netbook I've installed x86_64.
Things I've tried:
+ Update the system via wired-connection (mirrors.kernel.org) --> the download never gets faster than 10KB/s (?).
+ Configure the wireless interface via netcfg --> same problem
+ Reinstalled again and only changed LOCALE in /etc/rc.conf --> same problem
So you may see, I have no idea what I could be doing wrong and hope that theres anybody out there who knows what to do!
P.S. Well, i have now by-passed my problem.
1.) Created a list of packages installed during system-update on my netbook.
2.) In this list I changed package-name-x86_64.tar.gz to package-name-i686.tar.gz
3.) Downloaded the list with wget.
4.) Ccopied the packages to my laptop
5.) Created a local repository and made a system-update.

Hi trusktr
This might seem stupid but are you sure you are using "eth0" and not "eth1" etc.? As an example I have two on-board lans and I'm plugged into eth1. I had to change rc.conf as it defaults to using eth0.
#Static IP example
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth1)
Since I am using eth1 and not eth0 here is what I get when I try:
ifconfig eth0:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:4B:00:88:0E
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:23 Base address:0x6000
Look familiar?
I'm not saying this is the case but it could be something as simple as that.
ifconfig -a
should show you how many lans you have.
Thought I would drop the obvious first in case that's all it is.

Windows 7 activation error after reinstall. Help please

Hey,
I have got a problem. A few weeks ago i have reinstalled Windows 7 on my x 1 carbon 20A7. And recently windows says that the windows copy that i use is not original and the error code 0xc004f059 showes up. I think there is some error with the bios. How Can i fix that??
Thanks in advance

So i figured out that i did not install the win 7 pro version that was supplied by win 7. I downloaded it from the offical windows page. Is there any way to get this version of win 7 that was provided by lenovo, without a CD?? I mean I got several Windows 8 Recovery discs but not CD drive. And can i use the win 8 recovery discs to install win 8 or what?.(I bought the pc with win 7 pro and got win 8 recovery discs).
I currently have got some sort of recovery version on my pc, which i can not reach and use at all.
It would be very nice to get this sorted, as i have tried the windows and lenovo support via chat and telephone.

[SOLVED] some problems after reinstalling all packages

Hi all,
I had to reinstall everthing on the computer via
pacman -S $(pacman -Qnq)
then I move a few files back to their original place such as
/etc/shadow and /etc/passwd
now i'm having various problems
1) I can't run
systemctl
as a normal user anymore; I have to sudo into it. I get this error message:
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
2) libreoffice wont run from my regular user account. I get this error message:
The application cannot be started. User installation could not be completed
I tried uninstalling then reinstalling libreoffice. Didn't fix it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Alan

Activation problem after re-installation of XP Home

I do have a laptop - Satellite - that came pre-installed with XP Home. I did have a major crash, and decided to reformat and reinstall XP Home.
There is no CDROM that came with the computer, so I used another XP Home installation CD. Installation went fine, but I can't activate Windows XP with the product code which is on the sticker on the bottom of my laptop. Microsoft refers me to the OEM manufacturer.
So the basic question is: how can I activate XP, or should I reinstall XP from an original CD (or via download?) to make sure I have a version that can be activated.

Hi
I dont understand what the problem is. The Toshiba units are delivered with a Recovery CD. The Windows OS on this recover CD is already activated and its not necessary to activate anything.
If you use the original Windows from Microsoft CD so you have to activate this OS. But this is not a Toshiba problem. You have to contact the Microsoft.
Note: You can not activate Windows OS from the original Microsoft CD with the Toshiba image number or something like that!
Bye

Itunes startup problems after reinstalling.

Hi after recently deleting quicktime from my cpu in a moment of stupidity my itunes would no longer start up. To fix this I re-installed itunes from scratch, however now when i try to start the program I get this message "This application has failed to start becuase AVfoundationCF.dll was not found. RE- installing the application may fix this problem" followed by "itunes was not installed correctly please reinstall, Error7 (windows error126) . can anyone help me with this problem please. Should I try and re-install it all over again or something idk ; /. Thanks xx

"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 ""appleapplicationsupport.msi"" in the box below "
I haven't seen one of those mentioning an AppleApplicationSupport.msi for a while.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Application Support entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

CS6 MC Perpetual License activation problem after App. Mngr updated to Adobe CC

Hi.
I'm using perpetual license of CS6 Master Collection on windows 8 64 bit .
This morning the Adobe Application Manager did update itself to Adobe Creative Cloud (probably this is unrelated to the problem).
No CC application installed; and never installed application from CC.
After that opening Adobe Acrobat X Pro a dialog box appears about Trial Expiration that says:
"Your trial will expire in 130 days".
mmmm
So i press "license" button, then "signin" or "login" button and it says "Thank You, Creative Cloud will now be licensed to myemail....".
What? I'm using CS6 Master Collection with perpetual license; what does it mean?
Anyway; after that opening Acrobat X Pro another dialog box appears:
Master Collection Trial
Your trial will expire in 7 days.
Note that i open Photoshop, click on Help, Deactivate.... menu is enabled meaning that CS6 Perpetual License are working (i suppose).
Ok, i know that sometimes Acrobat Pro revert to trial and Deactivate / Reactivate normally work.
So, proceed to deactivate and reactivate CS6 MC.
Nothing to do, trial dialog box appears using Acrobat X Pro.
CC CS confusion?
Can i have my CS6 perpetual license installed

Well, acording to this blog:
http://blog.conradchavez.com/2013/01/16/updates-adobe-photoshop-cs6-13-0-413-1-2-fixes-tri al-version-problem/
there is fix is discussed here:

and here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2013/01/photoshop-13-0-413-1-2-updates-now-available.htm l
I have my doubts, as I have been seeing the trial screen even after updating the software.
good luck.

Activation problem after restoring to 7.0.6. help

i have an iPad 2 wifi+3g that working fine on ios 7.0.4 and previous version of ios.
last night i tried to update (restore) my iPad to 7.0.6 using iTunes.
im using MacBook Pro (OSX Lion) and iTunes 11.1.4, the latest iTunes version at that time.

Pls help me. my iPad was working fine on the previous ios version

OK I hve just had my iPad2 restored and backed up to perfect after a couple weeks of this mess.
Major thanks to Rose in Apple Support 2nd tier senior superstar for sticking with this issue to resolve
It worked for me today after doing this 10-15 times previous - I beleive some server settings were adjusted and ow we are good to go!
to fix:

Update:
Tried reinstalling, change the fonts, remove all font clear the cache.
change, look up the settings, looked up size, tried monitor dpi.
checked all the config files for anything remotely related to this problem.
Had a quick look at the bug tracker for google-chrome-beta as well no reported
font problems as far as i can find.
Update2:
Tried adding custom.css to the browser not even that worked.
update3: [SOLVED]
So i solved the problem.
The problem was a faulty font that was stuck and used in the pre somehow.
Removed and added another to the list and somehow that worked.
recommendations - if anyone has this problem in the future.
open firefox and look in the font tab what is used. and remove that
or try to install a fixed one. that should work.
-Nothing has yielded any working results.
So any ideas at this point would be most appreciated.
Thanks,

Activation problem after downgrade 10.0.1 - 10.0.0

Hello,
recently I had upgraded my home computer to CVI10.0.1 to enjoy the many bug fixes; everything went fine but I had to learn that my SSP had expired leaving me without a valid license for SP1. So I de-installed 10.0.1 and re-installed CVI 10.0.0. No apparent problem appeared, but since then I have to active my license every time I start my computer.
Activation works o.k. but after (re-)starting the PC the status of the license manager always tells me: 'activated for a different computer' - so I have to activate CVI everytime I start the computer...
Any suggestions of how to resolve the issue? (Win 7 64 bit, CVI 10.0 FDS)
Thanks,
Wolfgang
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately, activation of CVI 2012 still does not work automatically if the computer is equipped with two SSD's / network cards.
I would like to escalate this topic - it is REALLY annoying not to have a valid license after a regular, paid update just because the computer is a bit less standard... This hardware configuration results in a new computer-ID after every reboot, thus invalidating the previous activation.
I had fixed it after a few days with intense personal support from NI for CVI2010, now with CVI2012 the problem starts again (and the former NI employee has left, unfortunately)

[solved] various X problems after upgrade

I did an upgrade last night and when I restarted this morning I had a couple of problems so thought I'd document them just in case anyone else had them.
First off gdm didn't start. The xorg log complained about this line in my xorg.conf
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
so I edited the file and commented it out.
I then did a startx and everything started ok but both my mouse and keyboard were frozen. All the apps started up ok.
The last line in the xorg log file was this so I did some googling but didn't find much
config/hal: couldn't initialise context: (null) ((null))
After some other random searches I found someone else complaining of the same problem, their fix was to add this to the xorg.conf
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection
I added those lines, started X and it now works fine. I still have the config error at the end of the xorg log so I guess that is something else unrelated.
Hope this helps anyone else in the same situation.

I've got evdev installed and I know it is working because my keyboard mappings are now all bust! It seemed to be working until after 7 hours of use and in the middle of an important voip call with a client the same lockup happened again. No alt-tab, no change window focus etc.
How can I use xorg 1.5 without evdev? I've tried with the work around line in and it still locks up.

Mail Problems after reinstall

After a hard drive failure I installed a copy of 10.5.6 on a fresh new drive in a Power Mac G4. I copied all my files and settings from a Titanium Powerbook running 10.4.11. Everything is good except Mail. It opens but will not close. It refused to connect to my server (Note that the mail app on the powerbook works fine) and hangs at different points. I removed the imap account and it still will not close. There are a few empty folders in the viewer window that it. will not let me delete. I tried adding back the imap account but it when it tried to check the connection it just sat there spinning. It did not hang up, or time out.
How can I clean out the old mail stuff and start fresh?

Thanks. I went a bit farther . . .
I deleted the mail folder from library and the Mail.app. Then I copied the mail.app from my powerbook onto my Power Mac. At this point the Mail update would run and I am now fine.

DSO activation problem after creating the secondary indexes

Hi,
I am facing the problem with DSO activation after creating the secondary indexes.
Compared with Info Cubes there is no functionality available which allows dropping and recreating a secondary index before/after the data activation.
As a workaround I can write a simple report which drops and creates the indexes on database level.
By using a process chain, we can simply insert the drop index report before data activation and the create index report after the data activation process.
Can any body help me step by step procedure or Material to write the programs for delete index and create index reports on DSO object?..
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks & Regards,
Bala

hi,
in BI if you are using the dso for reporting then you can simply chk the settings of dso for SID generation.
no need to create the indexes or delete it.
if the dso is not used for report then no need to use indexes.
