Windows 8. Updates and Upgrade

Hi.
I am sitting here installing win8. (I got it when it was still 8, upgradeable to 8.1). At the moment it is downloading and installing about 150 updates and there is still the upgrade to 8.1 to come. With possibly more updates.
Is it possible to make an installation disk which has all updates and upgrades incorporated, so if I have to re-install, it will already be upgraded and updated, so the only updates needed would be the updates published after the installation disk was
made?
Regards
Ps. I'm not sure where to publish this, but tools seems a likely choice. :-)

Hello Great Dane,
Thank you for posting this query on the TechNet community forums.
From the description I understand you're looking for a way to include updates in your Windows 8.1 installation media, is this correct? Although this is not possible as yet with any official Microsoft tool there are a range of third party options available
to you that allow you to "slipstream" updates, and more, into your Windows 8.1 ISO. You can then burn that customised ISO to disk.
One such tool is WinReducer 8.1:

Virtual ESA appliance update and upgrade using static method

What are the static servers for updates and upgrading if you are using a virtual appliance ?
I know that the if you use a standard appliance they are:
downloads-static.ironport.com: 208.90.58.105 on port 80
update-manifests.ironport.com: 208.90.58.5 on port 443
updates-static.ironport.com: 208.90.58.25 on port 80
But I see that my virtual appliance is trying to go to "update-manifests.sco.cisco.com" - are there other differences for the virtual appliance ?

Yes, I can confirm through my own experiences over the past week that the Virtual Appliances do not use the same update servers.
Virtual Appliances point to dynamichost update-manifests.sco.cisco.com - 208.90.58.6. I'm not sure about the static update IPs, as the static sub domains do not seem to exist on the sco.cisco.com and it looks like Cisco is using Akamai CDN to distribute updates over port 80. You may need to allow iyour Virtual ESAs out on port 80 any, and 443 seems to be a single host.
Also I found the following article most helpful for Virtual ESA Updates:

Windows 10 Updates and broadband usage HEADS -UP on how to manage it

Not sure where to put this so putting it here. So, WIndows 10 updates are delivered by a technology that is similar to distribution by bittorrent, WUDO "Windows Update Delivery Optimization" It's turned on by default once you install/upgrade to Windows 10. In my case, it's not a biigie, as I doubt I wil ever go over my data allocation. I don't know (and non-one does at the moment) what sort of impact it will have, so we can only guess. So, you can turn it off if you are concerned that uploads will affect your data too much, but it's not easy to find ight out of the box. Go to Setting, Update & Security: Select Advanced Options: Select "Choose ow updates are delivered" : OK, CHOOSE CAREFULLY. I've left WUDO "on" in the above screendump, and have no problem with updates to other PC's on my LAN, so it's all good and it means the PC's in my house will be better served, and probably get less of a download from the internet. If you select the second radio button option, you WILL be sending packets to other PC's on the Internet. So, if you are concerned about your data usage, just check there. (BTW, Edge doesn't work 100% of the time on CrowdSupport - you cannot insert images, for instance)

I've recently downloaded 4.0 beta. Works much better than the
patched 3.6.10 which becomes unusable. I have loaded up the
4.0 Beta browser with the same number of Windows and Tabs
which could reproduce the original problem. Viewing under the
Mac OS Activity Monitor while there might still be a memory
leak, I believe that the largest problem seems to be a thread
that has taken over the CPU(s) and not relinquishing control.
When the problem would occur the CPU Usage would go over
100% with the 4.0 Beta it is only at 12%. Memory usage ranges
from over 1 GB with 3.6.10 to 650 MB with the 4.0 Beta. I did
clear out my download list and the browsing content could account
for the differences in memory usage. Hope that this helps.

Windows installed updates and now itunes has gone!

last night windows installed updates as it shut down and now when ive loaded up in the morning itunes has gone. ive tried repairing through add/remove programs, downloading a new version and removing the old version but each time it comes up with this message:
the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unvailable. click ok to try again or enter an alternative path to the folder containing installation package 'itunes.msi'.
does anyone know where to find this or an alternative way of sorting it out?
cheers.

Hi
First sorry to hear that.
Not all is lost. This is what you do.
1) Goto itunes.com. Install iTunes. Open it. Sign in to itunes so it displays your email address in itunes.
After goto your itunes store in itunes. There is a purchased tab. Click on in. It should list everything you purchased, books, songs, apps. Press the cloud with the down arrow. That will start the download process to your computer. I know the movie part you must download one at a time or it will crash. I hope that helps.

We've had a windows 8 update and now itunes keeps crashing. Any similar experiences and or solutions?

We have recently gone through an auto update with our windows 8 machine and afterwards iTunes will not function for more than a minute before shutting down. Any similar problems or solutions besides going back to an older restore point?

Laptop shut down during windows 10 update and now won't startup

Hi, My pc shut down during the Windows 10 installation 2 days ago. Since then I tried to start up the pc, without success.
I tried to press F11 during booting but the laptop just stays with a black screen saying "F11... System recovery", until I shut my computer down.If I press no key during booting, the screen remains black (with a bit of a background light) and stays like this for hours until I shut it down. I also tried to use the trick with holding the power button for 30 seconds when the laptop is turned off (I guess you call it a hard reset?), but that didn't work either. What should I do to get back to the original Windows 8.1? I would like to use my pc again and if possible, to not loose any of my old documents.

Hi , Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community! I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 17-j000 Notebook and issues with it not responding with a Windows 10 update. Try performing a hard reset. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices. It should continue where it left off. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

My Firefox doesn't recognize it being upgraded. It still thinks that its version is 3.5 even though I've been updating and upgrading it regularly, and now have v9.0.1. installed. Why does this happen?

I've tried everything possible to sort this out myself. Nothing helps. Installing, reinstalling, upgrading... (even disabling all the add-ons) ...my Firefox still believes that it hasn't been updated since v 3.5.5 (even though in About Firefox the version states to be 9.0.1). Here is the picture evidence of the problem:

Thanks for any help solving this issue.

Firefox 7 will not open, only shows up in processes, after Oct's Windows 7 update and force restart.

Been unable to get FF to open out side of it showing up in the processes. No browser window to even tinker with settings. Uninstalled the latest Windows updates, restarted and still won't open. Then uninstalled recent flash update since that updated as well. Still no go. Uninstalled FF, reboot, re-install FF, reboot, still nothing. I have tried opening in safe mode and FF will not open in safe mode either. Same again after turing off firewall and virus protection. Ran virus and spyware programs, nothing came up in those. Ran them again while in safe mode, just in case, and nothing found on my system.
The Windows and Adobe updates are the only things that have changed on my system since last restart 2 days ago.
No window, no nothing, only FF in the processes takin up 50% of my CPU and usin 30,000k in memory.
What else can I try to get my FF back?

I have the same problem (and with Mozilla Thunderbird) running with Windows Vista OS. The non-opening problem was preceded by a long period where Firefox and other programs were taking absurdly long times, such as one minute, to open. Starting Windows in "safe mode with networking" solves the problems. Similarly, I just found that If I run msconfig.exe and select "diagnostic startup" then Firefox and Thunderbird both start and start up really fast (that is, when most services and startup programs are prevented from starting). However there is no network so they do not connect. I then turned on (in msconfig) enough processes to get networking running and Firefox and Thunderbird still start up really fast.
I am fairly certain there are no viruses on my computer, so the only other possibility is that some program/registry-entry is preventing the OS from working properly. The problem with windows that it is virtually impossible to find something like this, since the Windows OS has very weak self-diagnostics, and the registry is absurdly complicated with over half a million entries on my computer.
If you can do a "repair install" then this will probably fix the problem, but I do not think that Vista has this feature. Alternatively an upgrade of the OS might fix it, such as from Vista to Windows 7.

OS 10.6.6: security updates and upgrades

i bought an iMac about a year ago, with OS being 10.6.6. I haven't brought it yet on the web ( i use this portable PC ).
Before getting it on the web, i'll obviously will have to
   1 - update to 10.6.8   : is this presently the "top" update for 10.6 ?
    2 - from what i read snow leopard is a leap, SECURITY- -wise, behind even 10.7 ( mountain lion ). QUESTION: is an UPDATED snow leopard as web-secure
           as a 10.7,     8   or even    .9    ?

There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac will NOT be infected by a virus, it may have other security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful: The User Tip seeks to offer guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2435
More useful information can also be found here:
www.thesafemac.com/mmg
It would be at least partly true to say that the later the version of OS X, the better the security. The downside is: will you existing applications run?
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)

After testing I was able to trace the problems caused by installing "Entrust Entelligence Security Provider 9.2" for Windows down to a set of registry keys. By adding and removing these keys on a fresh Windows 8 VM without entrust, the many issues
we were experiencing with Windows 8 could be reproduced and then fixed by removing the same keys (windows update, windows defender, windows troubleshooting, etc...). So far everything appears to be working after installing Entrust in
Windows 8, removing these keys, and then rebooting the machine:

Portege R830-10U, Windows 8 updated, Toshiba Upgrade Assistant issue on PA

Hello,
I've upgraded to Windows 8 through the Windows' website, as I didn't know about the Toshiba's upgrade tool.
I've run the ToshibaUpgradeAssistant.exe, downloaded on the dedicated page for my laptop, but I'm stuck to the PA number form. I've got a Portege R830-10U, Part No PT320E-XXXXXXXXXX. But when asked for this very PA number, the software doesn't recognize the PT320E (first 6 characters).
What do I do wrong? Does this software work with my laptop?
Thanks for your help,
Yvan.

Hello Francesco,
Thanks for your answer, which pointed me to the good solution: waiting! Today I've just downloaded the new assistant from http://fr.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/windows8_drivers.jsp and no more asking for my computer series, it's automatic, and it seems to work.
So thanks a lot.
However, Toshiba should have written a helpful error, instead of telling that the serie didn't match anything.
Best regards,
Yvan.

CS3 Design Standard Academic - updates and upgrades

I am interested in purchasing CS3 Design Standard, academic version for my iMac. Are updates (such as patches, etc.) available to owner's of the academic version.
Thanks!

The academic versions are identical to the commercial versions. Only
real difference is price and the inability to ever sell or transfer the
license to another user.

I got ITunes and my IPHone talking to each other again. First off my Iphone was linked with the usb cable to my iphone. Also my PC could conect with my phone and transfer files.
This may be too simplistic, but I restarted my PC with the Iphone still conected and turned on. When the startup was complete I opened ITunes. Iphone was still not recognized. Then I unpluged my Iphone and plugged it back in.
The Iphone then became visible and the auto sync started up. All Good.
