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.

Cannot sync device after reinstall Windows

Cannot sync device after reinstall Windows 7.
It is fine when transfer from devices to itunes, but cannot transfer from iTunes to devices. Computer is authorize, same apple store login on both itunes and ipad, but it just wouldn't allow me transfer the apps.

Was this installed from the CD or from a download from HP?
With one system working and this one not working, it sounds like an issue with the software than anything else.

[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.

Lightroom desktop and mobile sync problem after reinstall

I've just had a new PC and resinstalled Lightroom. Since then, sync hasn't worked either way. The status bar at the top simply says "syncing X photos" but doesn't make any progress. Any ideas?

Hi Guido, thanks for responding. I've now managed to fix the problem by clicking 'Delete All Data' in LR Mobile preferences. The problem must have been caused by me reinstalling LR on a new PC.

How to sync with Firefox sync after reinstalling Windows? I only have one device.

Just like this user I was syncing only one device. After reinstalling windows, I can't reconnect and I don't have the recovery key...
What can I do? To access my bookmarks, favorites, etc?
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately I'm missing the recovery key and don't synch with other devices so I guess that means I'm out of luck...
Maybe this is something that can be added to the roadmap for future improvements. I don't see a reason why you can't get your information back after a reset if you've only got one device.

Can't open PSD file after reinstall windows 7 64 bit

After reinstalling windows 7 stopped opening some files PSD files. I try to open them with Photoshop version 6, it does not work. I tried to open them on the laptop, same garbage. Tell me what the problem is. And how to fix it.
Thank you.

Perhaps these files were corrupted. I can not say how it happened, but it is quite possible. And the files are no longer open, immediately after reinstalling windows? Or not?
If so, it is quite rare in my opinion. You are very unlucky. Try reinstalling photoshop. Then check these files were opened or not. If not. Then the only option is a special software. I would use on your site this program
http://www.photoshop.recoverytoolbox.com/
(it is not free but is very good and is not expensive. But in the future you will immune from such situations. )
As well you can learn more about your problem here:

TS1702 After reinstalling windows, I cannot transfer app purchases to my iphone.

I had to wipe the hard drive on my computer after it got a virus that I was unable to remove. I backed everything up before wiping the hard drive. After reinstalling windows, I installed itunes and synced my iphone with my computer. Itunes recognizes that I purchased apps previously as they downloaded to my library, and I can make new purchases in the store. However, after purchasing an app, when I try to drag and drop the app to my phone through itunes, a little circle with a slash through it appears and it will not let me download the app to my phone. I can download apps through my phone, but I would like to be able to sync them with my computer as well since I have to put music on my iphone and I generally only purchase through amazon. How can I fix this? Thanks!

I am having the same issue. I tried rebooting/resetting my iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Restarted iTunes. Still unable to update Apps. Screen is clouded/gray. Cannot even move the Apps on the screen. When I press/hold an App on the iPhone to make them jiggle, I use to get the circle X on the App to delete. That is no longer available.

A lot of problems after installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on a Mac Book

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: +"This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?"+ When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: There are way too many problems, and I have a feeling there will be a lot more later on. Help....

Problems with screen resolution after reinstalling Windows 7 Home Premium

Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Product Number: A6X94UA#ABA
BIOS: F.1C
Processor: Intel Core i7-2670QM
Graphics Device: Intel HD Graphics Family
I recently had to wipe my laptop and reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium (created restore disk from Windows). Ever since, I have not been able to adjust my display settings any higher than 1024x768. My only other option on the adjustment range is 800x600. I have updated BIOS (it was already at latest version) and I have searched for updated drivers (system says most recent ones are in use), but I cannot get it to provide me with a more appropriate size selection for my screen; I have to scroll back and forth in Internet Explorer, for example, to see a full screen because it doesn't fit correctly on my laptop screen.
It seems like this should be an easy fix, but I can't seem to find the right trick. Can anyone help?
TIA,
Teri

@buzymom2 ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. The only thing I would try at this point is to go to this link and download the software and drivers for your notebook.
HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Once you have them downloaded save them to a USB memory stick or burn them to a CD or DVD.
Now you will want to boot into safe mode.
Entering Safe Mode (Windows 7)
Now in safe mode uninstall all your drivers by going into the device manager.
Uninstall or Reinstall a Device
Once you have the drivers removed, reboot into windows in normal mode. Now install your drivers one at a time you have to start with the chipset driver. If you install the drivers without the chipset first it can cause all kinds of problems.
Let me know how things go.
Thank you so much for posting and have a great day.

Trying to sync iPod touch after reinstalling Windows

Hi there.
I had to reinstall windows on my computer.
Now, I'm trying to get my iPod Touch synced again with iTunes.
However, every time I try (whether it's thru WiFi or USB), I keep getting a message warning me that:
"The iPod is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. What would you like to do?
Erase and Sync - replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library
Transfer Purchases - copies iTunes Store purchases this computer is authorized to play from this iPod to this iTunes library."
I've already tried clearing everything; I've deauthorized this computer etc.. signed back in again etc.. I still keep getting the same thing though.
I don't know what else to do. There's nothing currently in my iTunes on my computer, so if I do the "Erase and Sync" option, I'll lose just about everything, except for a few purchases or whatever..
If anyone knows how to resolve this, please let me know ASAP!!
I also have my iPod backed up to iCloud, which I know pretty much nothing about.. I don't know where my stuff is actually backed up at, like where to go for it, nor at all how I'd go about doing a "restore" or anything...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

ONCE AGAIN THIS **** THING COMES UP WITH THIS MESSAGE... HAPPENED AT THREE TIMES OR MORE NOW!!!!!!
"RESTORE INCOMPLETE
SOME ITEMS COULD NOT BE DOWNLOADED FROM THE STORE. IF THEY ARE ON YOUR COMPUTER, YOU CAN RESTORE THEM BY SYNCING WITH ITUNES."
WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY HAVE THESE SO-CALLED "BACKUP" OPTIONS IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO EVEN F-ING RESTORE ?!?!?!!?!?!
THANKS A LOT APPLE!!!!!!! ):

Problems after installing Windows 7 Professional on Thinkpad T61

I have an old T61 that had Windows Vista installed. I wanted to use Windows 7 but didn't want to wipe out what I already had (for various reasons). So I bought a new disk drive and did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional. The disk drive is a Western Digital Blue Notebook 1TB drive. After installing the drive in the machine, I followed these instructions to install Windows 7: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-74108. I chose to partition the drive into a C: drive (500GB) and a D: drive (431GB). After the install completed, I downloaded all the available Microsoft fixes (this took some time to complete).
For the Device Driver and Application install, I used the ThinkVantage System Update option. The site indicated that Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 with Service Pack 1 or later was required. I downloaded and installed version 4. There were additional Microsoft fixes for version 4, which I downloaded and installed also. Then I downloaded and installed ThinkVantage System Update 5.03. I then executed System Update and selected all the available updates. They all installed, except for Windows 7 Update Module KB2615763 64bit. This update, after failing, gave the option to install manually but when I click on that option I receive a pop up saying: Installer encountered an error: 0xc8000247. The title of the pop up says Windows Update Standalone Installer.
I then attempted to install various applications on the machine: FileZilla FTP Client, Google Chrome, Notepad++, PrimoPDF were all installed without problems. When I installed a Cisco VPN Client for 64 bit machines, however, I was knocked off the network. Clicking on the WiFi symbol in the task bar showed that I had only limited connectivity to the network. I tried to do a IPCONFIG /ALL and neither the WiFi adapter nor the Ethernet LAN adapter showed up in the list. I uninstalled the VPN Client, from the Control Panel, and was immediately able to connect to the network. An IPCONFIG /ALL now showed all the network adapters. I installed/uninstalled the VPN Client several times just to make sure that it was causing the problem of no network connectivity.
I fgured that there might be updated network adapter drivers available to resolve the problem so I attempted both System Update and Windows Update again. System Update showed nothing available, except Windows 7 Update Module KB2615763 64bit. Windows Update had a message saying "Check for updates for your computer" but when I clicked on "Check for updates" it popped up a message saying "Windows Update cannot check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your machine." I checked and the Windows Update service is running. I stopped and restarted it but received the same message when I tried to check for updates again. I rebooted the machine and tried Windows Update again. Same pop up message.
I tried the "Fix problems with Windows Update" option in the Control Panel but received a message saying - An error occurred while troubleshooting: A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting. The error details say:
Package ID: WindowsUpdateDiagnostic
Path: Unknown
Error Code: 0x8E5E0247
Source: Engine
I tried some of the other troubleshooting options and they all give similar errors - An error occurred while troubleshooting: A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.
I then thought it might be a disk drive problem so I tried to do a CHKDSK /F but when the machine reboots the CHKDSK seems to start (there is a message that says it can be interrupted by pressing a key within 10 seconds) then, before the 10 seconds are up, it ends without checking the disk and the machine continues to boot up.
Has anyone seen any of these problems before? Did I miss something? Could this be related to the disk drive? Or missing device drivers? Bios?
Any help with this will be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A laptop drive that size is almost certainly an AF drive. You can check by looking up the model's specs on the vendor's site. You can also use the fsutil command to check the drive's physical sector size and verify that the size isn't getting reported correctly - which is what usually causes the update problem.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982018
Expand the "Issue 6 Fsutil.exe tool" entry in that link for more info. The entire KB may also be helpful.
If my guess is actually the problem you won't have to reinstall Windows 7. Just update - or roll back - the driver. You might first try going to Device Manager, selecting the storage controller, and rolling back to an earlier driver.
If that works, configure ThinkVantage System Update to not show the offending driver, or this will happen again. If that doesn't do the job, go to Intel's site and find the latest Matrix Storage Manager or Rapid Storage Technology that is specified for your chipset and operating system. Or just try the latest and if that doesn't work, try earlier ones.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Software+Products&ProductL...
Here's a local KB addressing this (presumed) issue: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Knowledge-Base/Windows-Update-Fails-After-Installing-New-Hard-...
To repeat, this is a bit of a guess. It's pretty likely that your storage driver is the culprit. Either you need one new enough to support the physical size reporting ioctl, or you've been bitten by TVSU "updating" to a buggy driver. Either way the corrrect driver should fix things.
