Windows is Stuck after update

I love this laptop. GS60. There is nothing wrong with it other than this stupid update issue. After I restarted to update, the "Working on Features 100% Complete" comes up and stays there. I've read countless threads on this issue and none of the solutions work. I can't boot into safe mode?! That's crap. Restarting 76 times didn't help either. I am most definitely NOT refreshing AGAIN! I have a final project due and a final on Tuesday. I'm so pissed.
Any help? Anybody?

You can try F3 recovery to reset Windows when system boot.
And I found this thread for your information.

Re: Windows is Stuck after update

So in addition to what's been recommended above, I also disabled automatic updates...I have a pile sitting waiting to be installed but I'm afraid to try. Going to make a recovery image before I attempt it...

I cannot import my photos to my Windows xp PC after updating my iphone 5 with the latest iOS 7.1

According to the iTunes download page, it still supports Windows XP.
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 3 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
(Emphasis added)
If your XP computer was updated, then it should work. Again, the links I posted earlier contain the current USB drivers for the iPhone and Windows.

Hi M0M1!
I have an article for you that seems to describe your issue and can provide some helpful troubleshooting steps for this issue:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Specifically, you will want to focus on this section of the article:
User-specific troubleshooting
If you experience the issue in one particular user account, the suggestions below may resolve the issue. Before proceeding, you'll need to make hidden files and folder visible in Windows using steps 1-5.
Remove iTunes Preference files. Some of the files that iTunes stores settings and preferences in may be unusable. iTunes saves its preferences in two folders. Move one of them to the desktop and test to see if the issue persists. If it does, move it back and remove the second folder. The locations for the preference folders are:
c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Create a new iTunes Library.
Hold the Shift key while opening iTunes. You'll be asked to choose an iTunes library.
Choose Create Library.
In the following window, select a location to save the new iTunes Library.
Click Save. iTunes will open the new library. After you close iTunes, you can always select the original library by holding the Shift key while opening iTunes.
Recreate your iTunes Library. If your iTunes library has become unusable, rebuilding it may resolve the issue.
Check for issues with content files. Sometimes an audio file can cause iTunes to quit unexpectedly or stop responding when it's analyzing gapless playback information. To determine which file may be causing the issue, follow the steps below:
Quit iTunes.
Navigate to the iTunes folder:
Windows Vista: c:\users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: c:\users\username\My Music\iTunes
Move the iTunes Library.itl file to your desktop.
Open iTunes. You shouldn't see any content in iTunes.
Choose File > Add Folder to Library.
Navigate to the folder where your music is located:
Windows Vista: c:\users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
Windows 7 and Windows 8: c:\users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
Choose an artist, album, or song to add to the library.
Wait for iTunes to successfully add the item to your library and perform the gapless playback scan.
If successful, continue adding songs to your library.
If there is an issue with one of your files, you'll notice your issue reappear after you add it to the library. You should repeat these steps, being careful not to add the files that caused the issue.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

Firefox not working on Windows 8.1 after update to 32.0

For the last three versions 30.0, 31.0, and 32.0 Firefox will not work after updating on my Windows 8.1 laptop. I have tried resetting Firefox to default state, uninstalling and reinstalling, and resetting my TCP/IP stack (which usually fixes the problem). I also have gone to Internet Options in IE 11 and unchecked the automatically detect settings under the LAN connection options and then rechecked it without success. I also have Chrome installed on my machine as a check to see if it lies within the browser or my internet connection.
Internet Explorer 11 is the only browser that works so something seems to be amiss in Firefox.

Hello kschmit05, any luck in you boot the computer in [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows Safe mode with network support], select in the Startup Settings screen > Enable Safe Mode with Networking.

Ditto to what Ralph Landry1 wrote. Just be proper about it and tell the technician what type of water it was exposed to. I think we'd all like to know information such as this before we began handling the thing.

Windows Partition gone after updating to Yosemite

Hello I have recently updated to Yosemite and was unaware of the bug that causes the partitions to disappear.
I have read threads and the steps are way too difficult to understand and all i see is coding and other things.
If anyone could help please (step by step) in a simple way.
Windows 7 Partition shows up as disk0s4.
Macbook Pro 13' in 2012.
Have downloaded TestDisk but have no knowledge in how to use it.

And I have a couple of questions to the steps below:
1. Delete the old entry and create a new entry at GPT#4. (Is this step done in testdisk? If it is, what are the steps to get to this step?)
sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
p
d
4
n
4
86923264
538218489
0700
p
w
y
2. You will need to reboot after the change, because the disk you are booted from is the one being modified. Reboot will rebuild disk0s4 using the start/end you entered.
3. Run the dd command - sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk0s4 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -C and check that the first line contains "R.NTFS". (Done in testdisk?)
4. This is a tedious process and you want to check after the second 'p'rint command that it looks reasonable, before the 'w'rite and 'y'es to confirm. (Testdisk?)
5. Once you a working GPT#4, a new hybrid MBR needs to be created which will overwrite what you see in your Fdisk output. This is also done using GPT Fdisk (Gdisk). (Download link to Gdisk?)
6. a. Test 1 - Can you see your Bootcamp volume in Finder.
    b. Test 2 - Can you files in the Bootcamp volume?
    c. Test 3 - Can you see Bootcamp in your System Preferences -> Startup Disk.
    d. Test 4 - If Test 1-3 are successful, select Bootcamp and click on Restart. You may need Windows startup repair, if you see a hanging underline cursor at the top left corner of your screen. In most cases, it is not required.

Cannot boot to Windows 8.1 after updating to Yosemite

I am using a MacBook Pro (Retina 13-inch Late 2013) computer, and mainly use Windows 8.1 via bootcamp on it for work. I have just updated OS X Maverick to OS X Yosemite 10.10, and now when booting and holding option, the Windows and Backup partition no longer show.
I have read a few threads on here with similar problems, and I believe that I understand the crux of the problem, but I am having difficulties actually using TestDisk as I'm not exactly sure what options to use and what to look for.
Below is a screenshot of my Disk Utility:
And here is the output of TestDisk so far (I analyzed the disk0):
It looks like the Bootcamp partition is still there, but I'm not sure what steps to take next -- any help would be most appreciated!

How to create recovery disk for windows 8.1 after update from windows 8.

My laptop came with windows 8 and i have recovery discs for windows 8.
Now i've updated to windows 8.1, so i want to creat recovery discs for windows 8.1.
So in future when i use recovery discs i dont have to download windows 8.1 again.
Please tell me if there is any way to do this.....

As colakid posted, in Windows 8 the ability to create a recovery CD/DVD has gone. Your options are to:
create a recovery USB; or
create a recovery image.
Recovery USB
Colakid's post talks you through how to make a recovery USB: from control panel, choose Recovery, then Create a Recovery Drive, and follow the prompts.
However, the 'recovery USB' can be a bit misleading. When the wizard starts, there is an option to 'copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive'. If you do not check this option, you will still need installation media to reset your PC.
Since you have upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, you will probably not be able to check this option, as it will be greyed out (like it is in the picture in Colakid's post).
If you go ahead and create the USB anyway, you will be able to boot to it, but you won't be able to reinstall Windows unless you have the installation media (or possibly a system image, though I haven't tried that).
Recovery image
The recovery image is an image of your computer that Windows will use when you select the 'refresh my pc' option. You can create a recovery image using the recimg.exe tool.
First, open an elevated command prompt (type cmd and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter).
Next, create the recovery image by typing:
recimg /createimage [path]
Where [path] is the folder you want the image in, eg C:\Recovery. You cannot set the file name - it will always be called CustomRefresh.wim.
Let it run its course. When it's done, you can check that it is the current recovery image by typing
recimg /showcurrent
It's important to keep in mind what a recovery image contains. It will have your Windows system files (in their current state), and the desktop apps you have installed (so it makes sense to do this after a fresh install of Windows). It will
not backup any Metro apps or user files, because these are not deleted during a system refresh. If you want a complete backup of everything on your computer the way it is now, you should make take a complete system image (which
can be done from the File History settings in control panel - at the bottom left there will be a 'System Backup Image' option - or you can do it using any other backup software like Ghost or Acronis).
In my case, I created the recover image straight after upgrading to Windows and it was about 6 GB.
Prepare/Create and register an recovery partition, so the option Copy the Recovery Partition becomes available in the recovery drive UI application.
In elevated command run> RECIMG -CREATEIMAGE C:\REFRESHIMAGE<
This will create a new custom.wim in a folder Refreshimage.
Now lets get ready to register the path of the image, so our create recovery drive option(COPY THE RECOVERY PARTITION FROM THE PC TO THE RECOVERY DRIVE) becomes available.
> In the folder you created there will be a> custom.wim<
change it to>INSTALL.wim<
> Create a folder In Cd/directory using Elevated command> mkdir c:\Win8.1-Recovery,>
Win81-Recovery<.
> Copy the INSTALL.WIM. Put in the Win81-recovery folder created.
> Run in elevated commad>REAGENTC /SetOSImage /Path C:\Win81-Recovery\INSTALL.WIM /Index 1<
Do not copy the arrows if using copy and paste, that is my way of pointing out lines of code
Information provided by the link below, thanks Keith. I simplified the process for easy following and added my own tweak from trial and error for the install.

Notification centre getting stuck after update

Hello,
Has anyone found their notification centre is getting stuck halfway down the screen after the 5.1 update?

I have noticed the same problem .It seems to happen only after installing ios 5.1.1. I have found that the problem gets rectified when i press the sleep/wake button and close the screen and then restart.
However pressing the home button didnt seem to work

My camera, settings application and I.E application don't work on windows 8.1 after update

After the last update on windows 8.1 Metro Apps don't start. I click on them, there is some animation showing the live tile expanding, then the app closes.
This happens with every Metro App. how can I fix that? I tried everything and it's in vain!

> Is there any compatibility issue? What could be the problem?
Can you run your script manually? Did you set EnableLinkedConnections=1?
And are you aware that in 8.1, logon scripts by default run with a 5
minutes delay? :)
