Upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 and cannot 'reload' my stored music

I have upgraded from Win Vista to Win 7, and as my iTunes storage is on an external drive that was not affected by the upgrade, I thought that I could reinstall iTunes and get it to 'pick up' the stored tunes and videos from the drive.
It seems that I am in error - it is not so obvious as I thought. I have told iTunes where the drive is (Edit, Preferences, Advanced, iTunes media folder location), but it still does not pick them up.
Can someone help me with this - what can I do to 'recover' these stored files etc.

Thank you very much - that seems to have worked. I assume that I should have nacked up my libraries in some way before I tried this?

Open Acrobat manually and go to Edit - Preferences - General. Click the "Select Default PDF Handler" button and then select Acrobat from the list and click on OK. The next time you open a PDF it will be opened in Acrobat automatically.

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive. no matter what method I use, either click and drag or through the File menu. All I get is a message 'Preparing to import' - file size is less than 300 kb

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

I FINALLY got it to work on BOTH iPhone 4 and iPpad 3. Here is what I had to do:
Had to DELETE all e-mail accounts including icloud.
Did a hard reset (hold down button on top right corner and round button on bottom center)
Then once it came back on, the iPhone had ALL of the accounts still on it and it was receivng e-mail.
The iPad receive e-mail until I did the steps above 5 times. Plus, I had to add back all of the e-mail accounts vs. on the iPhone 4 they were there when my phone came on.
Now I am receiving e-mail on both devices normally.
No clue why this happened, but Apple needs to find a fix ASAP.

Create process file in Windows 7 and cannot open it in Windows XP

Hi,
I have just created a process file in my development PC with OS windows 7. I copy the process file to my testing PC with OS WIndows XP and NI lookout client version. It seems that all graphic is gone and cannot be displayed. What can I do now? Thanks

Yes, you are right.
The development server software is for developing process, either server or client process. The server process has the driver object.
The runtime only server software is for deploying and running the server process. So, your customer needs the runtime only server software to run your process that connects to the PLC. Of course, the customer can use the development server software.

1. Host1(running 2 VM's) - In-place upgrade windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012 R2
2. VM1 on host1 - In place upgrade windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2

4. SQL running VM1 - In place upgrade SQL 2008 with DB/reporting services to SQL 2012 DB/reporting services
All Servers ( including Host and VM's) are stand alone in a workgroup setup.( except one VM a stand alone AD server by itself).
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
If you want migrate from windows 2008r2 to windows 2012r2, you must install windows server 2008r2 sp1.

For the host 1 upgrade, please refer to the following:
http://blog.powerbiz.net.au/server-2012/in-place-upgrade-from-windows-server-2008-r2-to-windows-server-2012/
For the SQL in-place upgrade, i think you may need to ask in SQL forums:

Hope this helps.

Updated from xp to windows 7 and iTunes won't play music

I have recently updated my computer from windows XP to windows 7, and I backed everything up on a flashdrive. I reinstalled all of my documents from the flashdrive using Window's easy transfer. I then downloaded the new iTunes. After it was done transfering the songs and I went to play a song, it would not play. I then closed iTunes and re-opened it, when a sign pops up that reads "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." I don't understand what is going on because iTunes has every song I had from when I had windows XP but it won't play them. If you know how to fix this or what is going on I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

If you mean computers that are authorised (iOS devices aren't authorised/deauthorised) then you can't see a list of which computers are authorised, you can only see how many : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
For devices/computers that are associated to your account you can see a list of them, and if it's been more than 90 days since a computer/device was associated remove the association, by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

I upgraded to ios7 on my 4s and cannot get online

I upgraded last night and cannot get online. I also lost my music.

Are you using wi-fi, and if so, did you check settings to make sure the button is set to "On"? Maybe during updating, it may have knocked it out of whack. As far as your music, did you back up before updating? If so, you can probably connect to iTunes and load it all back.

I have just upgraded my iPad2 to iOS.5 and cannot access iBooks?

I think I missed something. Up uploaded 10s.5 onto iPad2 and cannot access the iBooks where I have puchsed books and other items that I have down loaded? Can anybody explain what I have done wrong?

Before you did the update did you copy your purchases (apps, books, music etc) from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases ? If not then you can re-download books, apps, and if you are in the US music and TV shows, for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 - as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to purchase them.
If you download the apps onto your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to the backup made during the update and see if that restores the apps and their content to the iPad

It means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.
