Windows 7 upgrade program error: Compaq serial key not recognized.

Hi,
I recently (5th of August 2009) bought an Compaq Presario CQ 5030 running on Windows Vista Home Premium.
I was told that i could get a free upgrade for this computer to windows 7 when it was to be released.
However, when I try to order my copy of Windows 7, it say's that my Serial Key and Product Key are of an incorrect format.
The label shown as "Where do i find my Serial Key?" isn't the same as the one on my computer, but my computer does appear in the list op computer's who apply for the upgrade to windows 7 and I am running Windows Vista Home premium and bought it in the correct time.
Could anyone please tell me what to do?

Thank you in advance for your fast reply.
I have sent an email to the adress you provided.
I'll repost when I have received an answer.
P.S., I live in Europe, do they provide their service to Europeans as well? Cause i think i might have seen the mail on a site saying it was USA and Canada only.

I just upgraded to Yosemite. Iphoto is now broken. Upon upgrade receiving error "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."

I just upgraded to Yosemite. Iphoto is now broken. Upon upgrade receiving error "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept iPhoto into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Move it out of the Applications folder(it may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download it for free from its individual product page.
3. Click here and contact Apple.

JVA Cutback Error F5817 - Posting Key Not Defined

Hi Team,
I am trying to execute JVA Cutback but am stuck with the Error F5817"Posting Key not Defined". I have checked and re-confirmed the Configurations for Cutback Posting Rules with appropriate Posting Keys and also checked Configurations for Posting Key which is appropriately created in FI.
We have no clues on the above, can anyone please suggest on the same.
Thanks,
Amit

Hi,
You would also be getting the posting key number in the error message F5817 like "Posting key 01 not defined"
If yes, then check that posting key in table TBSL via SE16N.
If not, then the posting key assignemnt in the configuration is not there.

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

How did you rebuild?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Now, looking at the source document library, this document has the field in question set to String, so why has it been marked as a Time filed type in the expiort file?
Is anyone aware of any issues with the Export-SPWeb commandlet?
SharePoint 2013 + March PU + AUG 2013 CU.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Richard,
According to your description, the error occurred when you ran the Export-SPWeb command.
I recommend to verify the things below for troubleshooting:
Save the document library as an template(include content) and create a new document library based on the template, then run the Export-SPWeb command to export the new document library to see if the issue still occurs.
Did this issue occur with other document library? If not, you can delete the string field with error, then run the Export-SPWeb command to narrow the issue scope.
As a workaround, you can save the library as a template and deploy it to the site collection where you want to move the library, then create the new library in the site collection.
Best regards.
Thanks

To download/install an app directly to the iPod you need available storage equal to about three times the file download size. Syncing the app to the iPod requires a lot less. Thus you either have to free up more storage or sync the app from your computer.

Satellite A500-14K - USB key not recognized with Windows 7

I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 14K, it was pre-installed for Windows 7.
I have purchased the Windows 7 upgrade: I received one disk for PC upgrade et one disk for windows upgrade. I have launched the first disk, and then the second one.
There was no special error message during these installations.
Since this upgrade, my PC doesn't recognized the USB keys whereas they work perfectly with the previous windows version with this pc .They are normally plug and play usb keys. When I launched the windows update, a driver is found, but the installation failed in error with a message of access problem.
I have check that the firewall doesn't block the access. I have installed the last version of the BIOS
I don't found any similar pb on the forum
thank you for your help

Not BIOS update but chipset utility.
Problem is that this notebook model is not supported for Windows 7 32bit but for 64bit only.
The same chipset is used on Satellite L500 and it is supported for Windows 7 32 bit so you can try to install THIS chipset utility.

Upon install, error message says "key not valid in specified state?" How do I fix this?

The os I am using currently is windows vista. I attempted numerous updates only to have each one fail with the same message..."Key not valid in specified state." I tried full removal and reinstall only to get the same message. Any remedies?

For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.

Notification Server error 2, Registry Key not found?

Hello everyone,
I've got more of a cosmetic problem as it seems atm. When checking the Component Status, I see some red crosses in a couple of components. Two being SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER and SMS_NOTIFICATION_SERVER. The site itself seems to be working okay, although
it has some problems here and there, but nothing too troubling.
The first error, located in SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER, states that a the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\NotificationServer cannot be written and returns error code 6 - handle invalid.
The second error, located in SMS_NOTIFICATION_SERVER, states that the above mentioned key cannot be found and returns error 2 - cannot find file specified.
I've checked the registry and the key is definitely there. I also checked the permissions and local service, system and the Primary Sites computer account have full permissions.
The Key contains three values:
- Default - REG_SZ - No Data
- Reserved 1 - REG_SZ - No Data
- Reserved 2 - REG_SZ - No Data
I've found this
thread that suggests a site reset as the solution, but that was already done two weeks ago and it's currently not an option as this is a live production system.
Any suggestions?
Best Regards,
Fred
