Troubleshooting 0x8007001f error when upgrading from 8 to 8.1 : How do I fix this?

Hello,
I have been trying to upgrade my windows 8 laptop to 8.1. However update fails due to error  0x8007001f. I have found out about this error is that an attached device is not working. How can I determine what is causing the issue?
Before finding out what the error specifically ment, these are the troubleshooting steps I've tried so far:
(1)Unplug all external devices, (like USB flash drives, mouse)
(2)A clean boot startup
(3)Turning off virus protection
(4)Installing the KB2864247 UPDATE
Thanks
in advance to anyone who responds.
(I've also heard that I should try to upload the setup logs file as a possibility, but I don't understand how to do so from this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824819.aspx)

Hi,
Did this issue occurred when downloading the 8.1 update by windows store?
I suggest we try following steps and try to reinstall again:
Step 1:Clean update temp files:
1.Press Windows key + R, type service.msc and press enter.
2.Stop Windows update service.
3.Run following command lines one by one to clear update temp files:
cd %windir%
ren SoftwareDistribution SDTemp
exit
4.Restart Windows update service.
Step 2:Clear windows store catch:
1.Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
2.Type WSReset.exe, and click/tap on OK.
3.The Store will now open, and state the following: The cache for the store was cleared. You can now browse the store for apps
If the issue persists, I suggest we backup all important files and try Reset this PC: PC settings -> Update and Recovery -> Recovery -> Remove everything and reinstall PC
Hope this helps.

    When you email from iPhoto, you have a choice as to the size of the picture - choose medium and your friends will be able to see them.  By the way, do your friends click on the photo attachment  in the mail to open it?

  • Since I have changed from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, I have not been able to start up Photoshop Elements 9! or Premiere Elements 9! The menu starts up allright, but the programs don't start when I press any buttons. How do I fix this problem?

    Since I have changed from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, I have not been able to start up Photoshop Elements 9! or Premiere Elements 9! The menu starts up alright, but the programs don't start when I press any buttons. How do I fix this problem?

    If Layers is greyed out it possibly means that you are in Quick Mode. Select 'Expert' and all the options should become available.
    Try permanently associating psd files with C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and see if that fixes the issue. Instructions here - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/choose-programs-windows-uses-default.

    After i installed ios 7 in my iPhone 4s and I got problem to login into my icloud account.
    There is a message appear and said  "the operation couldn't be completed (com.apple.appleaccount error 403)"
    can you help me ? how can i fix this problem ?
    iPhone 4, iOS 7
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7, (com.apple.appleaccount error 403)"

    Error: com.apple.appleaccount error 403
    Recreate Error: On a Iphone/Ipad device that has "already" created the maximum of 3 per device Apple limit of ICloud account creation attempt to create or login to ICloud service tab in Settings. You will be presented with "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" which does not tell the laymen anything useful.
    Cause: IOS 7 reports a "best guess" error instead of detailed error explanation.
    How To Resolve Error: Find a device that has not been used to create an ICloud account the maximum 3 times and use it to create the ICloud account by logging into the Settings/ICloud tab with the Apple ID you want a ICloud account created for.
    Keep in mind this will use up one of the three lifetime allowed ICloud account creations allowed by Apple on that device.
    Also per support: If an existing account is logged into the ICloud service. A. Backup phone using iTunes on a mac/pc. B. At bottome of Settings/ICloud Delete the account "AND" all the user date from the phone. It will offer the Delete all data option. The reason for Deletion(and is why we backed up on a pc vs. the cloud) is when you create the new ICloud account it will backup all of the Device owners information to the wrong persons account.
    Once you have created the new ICloud account log into that account on device that was presenting error: "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" it should allow the ICloud login.
    Once you have verified the "device with error" is ICloud functional delete the ICloud account from the device used to seed the ICloud account and delete again all user data from cloud. Restore the recently created mac/pc Itunes locally created backup to the phone and then go to Settings/ICloud and login with the device owners Apple ID and password and verify your backup to the ICloud settings and Eureka! your done.
    It took less time to do that for me to type this lol.

  • Trackball doesn't work when I click it...How do I fix this problem?

    trackball doesn't work when I click it...How do I fix this problem?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Best!

  • I have recently updated the operating system on my iPad. Now my alarm is silent and my FaceTime doesn't ring aloud when a call comes in. How do I fix this please?

    I have recently updated the operating system on my iPad. Now my alarm is silent and my FaceTime doesn't ring aloud when a call comes in. How do I fix this please?

    Do you see a half moon icon in the upper right corner of the screen? If so, you have Do Not Disturb enabled. Settings>Do Not Disturb. Turn it off.
    Or do you have system sounds muted?
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center. Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • TS1424 Only partial songs downloaded when I purchased an album. How do I fix this without having the buy the whole album again?

    Only partial songs downloaded when I purchased an album. How do I fix this without having the buy the whole album again?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    You could try emailing iTunes support, giving them your order number, etc. or you could just take the hit and pay the 99p.  I know what I would do.

    Looks like Apple did the same thing with Lion that Microsoft did with Vista. Brought it on the market before it was ready.
    I run a MacBook Pro and upgrading to Lion caused me two days of trouble and computer crash. Router settings removed and router blocked. Dongle not recognised, you name it.
    In the end, I gave up and using my Snow Leopard installation disk and a Time Machine Backup finally got my computer up and running again. Thanks to Lion, I think I'll stay with OS X 10.6.8 at least it's reliable.
