Windows 7 needs repair, please help !

Hello. I'm a desktop PC user of Windows 7 Professional with service pack 1 on 32 bits. I've tried to resize my partitions using Aomei and Paragon partition managers. I would take away some space (10Gb) from non-system drives, and then try to extend my C
drive, since it's gotten nearly full. Yet Disk Management in Windows never let me to extend C with an unallocated space I took from D. So I used these programs. Now, I had done it once before, successfully. Such programs require restart, to perform a PreOS
actions. Okay, I let it, and when it finished, it came up on the boot with a message:
'Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1) Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer,
2) Choose your language settings, and then click ''Next'',
3) Click ''Repair your computer''.
Now, since I did not possess such CD/DVD, and since I'm a student of Electronics in Belgrade, I have a privilege to download Microsoft products for free, for studying purposes. I used my mom's laptop and burned a downloaded Windows 7 Professional with SP1
32bit (.iso) successfully. The DVD is correct. Then I insert the DVD into my desktop computer and nothing happens, not even when I restart my computer. And I've restarted it quite a few times. What am I supposed to do now ? Please help me. (:

Hi,
How's everything going? Have you taken Rick's questions into consideration?
Have you tried to use Last Known Good Configuration as mentioned in the this link, it will bring your system to a state when most recent system settings worked correctly.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/using-last-known-good-configuration#1TC=windows-7
Regarding to the iso (burned to DVD), make sure to boot your PC from DVD (by press a button like F8, it depends on your PC model, you can refer to the PC user manual).

I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!

A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

Has your carrier been having issues with Call Display? Do the telephone numbers come up when people call, or does it just show 'Unknown Number' or 'Blocked' ?

Chester31,
Thank you very much for sharing your file with us! Now that we are able to reproduce the problem at our end, you may stop sharing the file on Acrobat.com.
Do you know when this problem (for not being able to add new highlight/strikeout/underline) has started? Did you update your iOS from 7.x to 8.0 recently?
We will continue investigating the problem and let you know what we find.
Thank you again for your help.

Hard Drive Volume Needs to be Repaired - Please help!

I actually posted this question before, so if you happen to read this for the second time, I do apologize for that. The reason I am posting again is because I couldn't solve the problem, and when I called Apple care today, they asked me to extend my Applecare to 3 years first or pay a one-time $49.99 fee (I bought my mbp in May). I understand this process, but right now I do not have this budget so I need to find help here. I really appreciate all your help in advance.
I ran Disk Utility the other day, and while verifying and repairing the "Disk permissions" seemed to work okay, when I clicked "Verify Disk," a pop-up windon said (I don't quite understand what the following message means):
First Aid failed
Disk Utility stopped verifying “Macintosh HD” because the following error was encountered:
The underlying task reported failure on exit
....and the disk utility screen showed:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid node structure
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
However the "Repair Disk" buttom is faded grey and inactive, so I couldn't repair the HD volume right away. I tried to insert the Installtion CD and started up the computer by pressing down "c" in order to start up and repair the HD using the CD. However, even though I was finally able to see the active "Repair Disk" buttom in the "install mode" with the CD inserted, when I clicked the repair buttom, it still showed the exact same message as I mentioned before (the bold texts). I then guess I couldn't repair the volume HD this way either.
The other thing I don't understand is I actually ran the Apple Hardware Test using the installation CD too, but after both normal and extended check, it said my HD is fine - there's no problem found. So I really don't know what is causing the Disk Utility message and the HD volume failure.
Could someone give me sugesstions what to do to fix the problem? I really really appreicate all kind of assistance! Thank you very much!

Claire, the message you received when you ran Disk Utility's disk repair routine from the Installation Disc 1 simply means that there are problems with your drive that Disk Utility can't fix.
It's possible (but not certain) that the current full version of Tech Tools Pro <http://www.micromat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=164&Itemid=8 5> could repair your hard drive. But you would have to buy the application.
For no-cost approaches here are two suggestions:
1 It's possible (but not likely) that simply doing an Archive & Install from your Installation Disc 1 might fix the problem. If you don't have a convenient way to back up all your data to an external drive or DVD, it may be worth a try.
2 A complete erase (using the "zero" option in Disk Utility), followed by installation of the OS from your Installation Disc 1 should get the drive back in good shape (as it passed Hardware Test). This will of course erase all your applications and data files, so they should first be backed up somehow.
Good luck.

Catalog corrupted, won't repair, please help

My situation is very similar to the on in this post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/472039
Catalog is corrupted and won't repair, I've tried to create a new catalog than import from the corrupted one but nothing.
I'm very depressed and frustrated about it, with this catalog I'm losing countless hours of creative work.
Please help me.
Thanks
Pat

Hi,
thank you for your reply, help and sympathy, the forums really saved my
last days, I was so depressed by this problem and reading about it helped
me to find ways to try to solve the problem.
I feel so stupid about my catalg, really! I believed the XMP sidecar file
was automatically created but I was wrong, I also believed the
modifications were stored somewhere but I was wrong again... all my
countless hours of creative work on my photos is stored in a.... SQLite DB
!!!! I still can't believe it I was so ignorant about the consequence of a
simple power failure or improper shutdown.
My backup is old, I need to recover more recent work,
The XMP sidecar file was NOT active by default and I never cared about it:
STUPID ME.
I'm trying to repair the DB by myself while waiting for an answer by Dan
Tull, it's a SQLite DB in the end.... (I'm working on a copy obviously)
I've managed to open it in LR right now but all the last 500 photos
entries seems damaged, I'm still working on it.... my DB is 380MB circa...
btw
a) just before the failure, I put the catalog on a brand new USB, 500GB
drive (from an old 250GB usb drive) and I've opened it on a not updated
computer (early version of windows XP - never got problems with the old
drive) I fear it doesn't support 500GB filesystems but I'm not sure and
I'll really NEVER attach the disk to this computer again so it will be
hard to investigate. I've no such problem with this drive doing anything
else with my laptop.
b) I'm absolutely sure of it!! because of a severe earthquake in my city
the last 6 of April
(http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/04/the_laquila_earthquake.html),
I've to work on a laptop, my desktop is in a box in a garage and I really
don't know when my house will be completely repaired and I'll back using a
desktop computer; because of this I'm on DEATH SLOW USB drives and you can
imagine what it means to backup 300GB of photos daily or weekly (9-10
hours), btw I think I'll backup my 380MB catalog at every LR start from
now.
Do you know a way to create the XMP of all the mofications from an
existing catalog? Will it be enough to create a complete catalog?
Thank you very much.
Pat
You have my sympathy! I am constantly in fear of losing my work due to a
software or hardware problem. There are so many things that can go wrong
and we are photographers first, not computer operations people.
Â
Did you try the ideas listed in the thread you referenced: restoring from
a backup or making a new catalog from the adjustments and metadata stored
in the XMP information in the pictures? If neither of those work then a
manual repair of the catalog by an expert is the last option. That would
be hard for me as my catalog is over 1GB.
Â
Once you have recovered your stuff I suggest you look at a) why it
happened. For example do you need a new hard drive?Â and b) a better
backup plan so if disaster strikes you can restore easily and without
stress.
Â
Good luck.

ITunes manually added artwork is missing after Windows Easy Transfer from XP to Windows-7. Please help!

After a Windows Easy Transfer from a Windows XP pc to a new Windows-7 pc, all the iTunes artwork that I had previously manually added is now missing. I estimate 25-30% of my CDs needed manual intervention to add artwork. Some of these were album covers I found on the web but many are photos that I took and cropped but have not retained. I have nearly 20,000 songs. Every one had artwork on my XP machine. Now on Windows-7 it appears to be missing. I spent many patient hours to get artwork in place for all my music and don't want to loose it or have to repeat the process. Please help! Many thanks for any contributions.

Converting a FCP sequence to Windows Media File - please help!

Hi fellow mac users, please help if you can would mean the world to me! I'm trying to export an edited sequence (32mins in length) from FCP 5 using Quicktime conversion to a Windows Media File. Although I'm able to launch the process successfully, it just seems to convert the very first minute or two and not the entire thing! I'm not well versed in these technical issues, so have no clue how to figure this out. I've even tried in vain to compress the sequence first, import into FCP and then try to export as WM but no luck. My boss is away and client is pushing and I'm stressing!
So if you can help, that would be fantastic!
many thanks in advance.

Cleaner and Sorenson are huge and complex transcoders. You just need time and a credit card to download and then lots of time to experiment and figure out the quirks of each application. You do not have this time. Telestream offers a competitor called Episode. it's cool.
Get the full version of telestream's flip4Mac (if it was installed properly you can do this with a click on the system prerf panel for flip4mac). You will need a credit card. Be prepared for a very long transcode to WMP, even on a big Macintosh. I don't think you have the time for any of this nonsense.

Airport Extreme and Windows 7. Please help!

I am trying to hook up a PC, running Windows 7, to our airport via wireless. It will connect to the network but then it says No Internet access. The PC works on a normal router (non-apple) but will not connect to internet via airport. I have searched and searched but I cannot figure this out.
Can someone please help? This is the 3rd PC i have tried to connect and none have worked.

OK, sound like yours is setup very similar to mine, which means there is another device controlling the IP address allocation (DHCP) and possibly the internet access.
Where the Broadband phone line enters the building there should be a modem and or router, depending on the type of line you have. I have an ADSL Router which combines both and it is that, that is controlling everything. So you will probably need to access that too, its IP address will usually be the first IP address.
Now your IP address will be a variation of 3 main private ones that is the same on every internal network. So as the IP addresses are handled by this other device we still don't know if you are using DHCP which is what allocates IP addresses automatically. Again at my work location DHCP is disabled deliberately to help prevent unauthorised access.
Have you access o a working Mac and are you able to see if the IP address is set manually or automatically ?
If it is manually you will need to setup the PC manually too. This is a pain if you are going to have regular requests to connect PC's plus you will need to ensure that you don't use an address you've allocated to someone else or that is reserved for DHCP or anything else.
Now you can do this yourself but this is looking increasingly like you need a local network expert, as it is so much easier when you can actually see the machines.
My address range is 192.168.1.x with my Gateway ending in .1 and my APEx ending in .100 this is the most common one, but there is also 10.0.0.x and another I think start 169 ?? but I've never used that one and you only need to keep this info out of the reach of students and other undesirables within range of the APEx !
Before going any further, when a PC tries to connect what is the IP address it is using, normally DHCP is enabled and it will try to get the address automatically if it is successful it will be in the same range as you are are using, if not it will probably start 169 and then it won't work properly.
You could just try setting the IP address manually on the PC but you will have to get all the info correct.
Here is an example based on mine....
IP - 192.168.1.(1 to 254) but not one that is already in use. Try 99
SUB - 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY - 192.168.1.1 (this is the address of my ADSL Router)
DNS 1 - 192.168.1.1 (same as gateway unless yours if different)
DNS 2 - (leave blank or enter what is on yours)
Now on the APEx there are some option I have not played with that you might want to check out, under Access Control is MAC Address access control enabled, if it is nothing new can connect while that is enabled, but I think you said they are connecting OK. Also there is also something called Guest account, whereby you can grant someone limited access for say 24hrs, again I have not used that but you could try it. There is an option to allow the next request for connection to connect, so might be worth trying.
Hope that helps.
