Windows Update Services doesn't work.1079 Error messages...

Hello Sirs,
I'm looking for a *Inplace Upgrade* for my Windows vista home premium..SP2/32 bit.
This program is causing me a lot of problem, due a crash into my software permission issues.
Since i worked with my notebook into a network i got this problem ( 8 months ago).
I tried everything via communities and till have the same problem.
I could never find a good support from Hp for "OUT OF WARRANTY" equipments.
So I'm looking for this upgrade to see if this will help me out with this particular problem.
Thanks.
Best regards.
simsmart.

Hello ramdaig. I understand you'd like to upgrade from Windows Vista. Is this correct?
I think this document would be helpful. It covers using the Windows Anytime Upgrade feature.
I hope this is helpful. Have a Happy Holiday!

I am trying hard to download oc4j release 2 and how-to-jazn sample .
Site doesn't provide any error message if there is any error message if server is down . There is no problem if I dowm load from other sites.
Can some one answer my question
Thanks Praful

Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

Windows Update - Shock Doesn't Work in IE

Hi. I have Windows 7 and IE 11.0.9. Yesterday there was an automatic Windows update and changes were made to IE. Now I have problems with Shock. I go to this news website and for every video it tells me that I need Adobe Shock Wave, but I do. I tried all the troubleshooting for Shock on your website but nothing works. http://www.cbc.ca/news I did try re-installing Shock but it did not solve the problem even though it congratulates me saying my new Shock works. I have a copy of Chrome and tried the same web page and the videos work. I’ve thought of uninstalling the Windows update, but not fussy about that.

Ah ha! I found some information from the website that I noted in my opening question. I am on Windows 7 but believe this is the answer to my problem. Announcement below.
"Microsoft recently updated Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 11 to include a bundled version of Flash in the browser.
This has caused issues on multiple sites, including ours, whereby the user is prompted to download Flash, even though they already have it.
Please be advised that this is not a problem with the video delivery platform, but Microsoft code (IE 11). Microsoft is working on a patch to fix this problem.
In the meantime, the best workaround is to use a different browser."

PIXMA MG5420: scanner doesn't work, get error message that driver will be closed 3 202 19

For some reason, the scanner will not work. Initially when I click on Autoscan on the PC menu the message reads that the scanner is warming up. Then I get an Error Message: Internal Error Occurred Scanner Driver Will be Closed. I don' t know what I'm doing wrong all of a sudden. There is only one computer in the network, mine, and I'm trying to scan from the 5420 via a USB cable into my HP laptop (Windows 8.1 64 bit).
Copying and printing work fine. Where do I even start?

Hi ellenrozsa,
The IJ Network Scanner Selector EX application will need to be running in order for you to scan wirelessly. If the IJ Network Scanner Selector EX is running, its icon appears in the notification area of the taskbar as shown below:
If the icon is not displayed in the notification area of the taskbar, please click IJ Network Scanner Selector EX on the Start screen. If IJ Network Scanner Selector EX is not displayed on the Start screen, select the Search charm, then search for "IJ Network Scanner Selector EX".
In the notification area of the taskbar, right-click the IJ Network Scanner Selector EX icon and select Settings....
Select your scanner or printer from Scanners, then click the OK button.
Hope this helps!

Audio doesn't work, wierd error messages

Sorry for posting a seperate message, but I thought my problem might be different and a more general one. Since a few days, iChat audio is not working. I have a feeling this is since the last security update. Are you experiencing problems? So far I have got 3 error messages. I have tried chatting with my wife,
and it gives me these messages after failing to connect audio chat:
1. (My wife) did not respond (although she was responding)
2. Bandwidth is not sufficient
3. This is the wierdest one: (I) am not responding!!! I am requesting an audio chat and it says I am not responding? crazy!
I have tried connecting from my PB g4, both from wireless and LAN and also from iMac G4, to my wifes iBook, both on LAN and wireless.
ANy suggestions?

Hi Alpesh,
If your System Preferenecs > Quicktime is set to Automatic change it to match your Download.

Hi,
Please also check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.
In addition, also check Device Manager, if similar driver already installed, try to uninstall them and reinstall new driver again for test.

Windows Update Service Disabled - Error 80070422

Hi,
On Windows Vista Ultimate SP1, when I go to Windows Update I see a "Check For Updates" button. When I click it I get an 80070422 error and "Try Again" button which does not work.
I have tried all that is explained in Help on this error, but it's still not working. Let me write in more detail: I opened "Administrative Tools", went to "Services", "Windows Update" service is disabled. I set the "Startup Type" to "Automatic", click on Apply and then I click the "Start" button to start the service. I get an error: 1058: "Windows could not start the Windows Update service on Local Computer", "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it".
I downloaded "WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" and installed it, hoping that the problem will be fixed, but no luck.
I read somewhere on this forum that a user faced a similar problem and searched in "Windows\System32" for "wu*.*" files and changed the security settings for all of them to allow SYSTEM and Administrators full control and re-registered through "regsvr32" all of the .dll files, but, after doing all of these I still had no luck.
My Windows Update still displays the error 80070422 and when I try to start the Windows Update service I get the error that the service cannot be started and it always sets itself on "Disabled", no matter what I do.
Could someone please help me with this problem? I really don't know what else to do.

Wow, great!

On the third scan, no other infections were found. The files and locations and one or two registry entries are similar to what I suspected was not allright, so I guess the (right) virus has been found and eliminated. Have enabled Java in FireFox and everything seems fine, haven't touched Internet Explorer just to be on the safe side so I can't say anything about that, but everything looks allright. Seems this was the problem. Thanks again, mate, your post was a life saver.

Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly. It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again. Any suggestions?

Try to force quit the mail app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works

Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Lenovo System Update installed the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver 8.9.2.1002" right before the Windows Upgrade got broken. So in the Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, I choose Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller, on the Driver Tab, I choose the option "Roll Back Driver" and after rolling back the driver and restarting the OS, now Windows Update is working like a Champ!
The End!

Hi,
"There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run sfc again"
I've got the error (80071A91) that others have experiences while trying windows update and for the life of me I cannot get the updates to install.
Looking for the past 4 hours via Google, trying different recommended things and still no luck
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_update/unable-to-install-updates-getting-error-code/27a21977-f964-4376-bfab-2f29ea127c6a

using the dispart to LIST VOLUMES (based on this http://mikemstech.blogspot.com.au/2011/12/how-to-perform-offline-system-integrity.html )
I've tried #fsutils resourse set autorevert=true (or something, can't find the exact post as I've rebooted so many times)
I've tried dismc.exe (or similar without success)
Basically I'm stuck with these updates (~10 of them) always sitting there downloading, installing every time I shut down the PC.
Running a system repair disk created in windows still does not allow #sfc /scannow....
My Last system restore was 04/08/14 and I cannot even restore the system to this point as the restore fails and asks to remove itself once I restart the system.

Any information or help on this is appreciated. I don't want to reformat and reinstall, I don't really want to 'repair' and wipe my current software installation so I'm hoping there is a way.

Hi, I've rebooted into Repair mode (Console), (because repair said windows is installed on E:) run dism.exe /image:E:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
This gave a message about small scratch space but did say something out a fix. Upon reboot into safemode with console I received the same message
"C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run sfc again."
I then rebooted and tried SCF again, no luck... Same message, same updates still sitting there.

Is there a way to change the Windows Update service startup type on Windows Server 2012 R2?

We have a number of newly built 2012 R2 servers that we have HP Operations Manager agent running on that monitors the status of several services and reports if they are "stopped". One of these services is Windows Update. Every day we
get at least one alert saying:
"Service "Windows Update" is not started. Current state is stopped"
Checking the event logs shows that the Windows Update service stops, then a while later it just starts again. Not an error, just an information event.
In Windows 2012 R2 the Windows Update service is set to "Automatic (Trigger Start)", where in previous versions we run (2012/2008R2) it would be set to just "Automatic" or "Automatic (Delayed Start)"
I have come to understand that this behaviour is normal for Windows 2012 R2, and that Trigger Start services by design stop themselves after a period of inactivity. I was unable to find any info on how this works. Our client would like this to
be changed and the Windows Update service stay running all the time, understanding that this impacts performance.
Is there a way to change the Windows Update service in Server 2012 R2 to the old Automatic startup behaviour so that it stays running all the time instead of stopping and starting periodicall? There is no option to do this via the services mmc
gui.
So far I have tried:
Removing the Triggers using the command: sc triggerinfo wuauserv delete
This works temporarily, the service then shows as just Automatic in the services console, however if you restart the server or restart the service it goes right back to being Automatic (Trigger Start).
Any kind of help would be appreciated.

This one might help.

I also tried to downloadiTunes 11.1.4 at th Apple website and that did not work either-It stalled with an erro message that stated the "mobile service" would not open HELP!

Hi Doug! I was having the same problem but after reading a lot of answers I found the solution. First of all you need unistall ALL THE SOFTWARE OF APPLE from your computer, I mean BONJOUR, QUICKTIME, ITUNES, APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE, APPLE MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT and the other one that is from compatibility with apps of apple, after that you must verify if this folders are removed if they don't then remove it:
C:\Program Files\Bonjour
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\
C:\Program Files\iTunes\
C:\Program Files\iPod\
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, you'll need to confirm that the following folders have been removed:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\

Then if you have ccleaner you can use it to clean all registers left, then reboot and try to install iTunes 11.1.4 again as administrator... That works for me, I hope that helps you too...

I have been using itunes on my windows based pc for years but since installing the latest itunes update I have been getting the error message A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes. (-42404)

I have been using itunes on my windows 64 bit laptop for years but since downloading the latest itunes 10.7 update whenever I opened itunes the error message 'A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes (-42404)'
Itunes would still load and play music in my library and I could still sync my ipod but when loading a CD itunes would not recognise the album/tracks and I would need to type them manualing after uploading.
I have just bought the new iphone5 and went to sync the phone with itunes. itunes recognises the iphone when plugged in via the usb port or when wi fi is turned on but itunes will not allow the phone to sync.
I spent over an hour the other morning speaking to apple customer support and have ensured I have administer right and that UAC is turned off.
I was taken through msconfigure and adjusted the startup tab but still no joy.
In the end I was e-mailed instructions on how to uninstall and then reinstall itunes and component parts.
Now that I've uninstalled itunes when I try reinstalling I get the following messages during the download.
The 1st message is;
'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
When I click ok the next message that appears sometime later during the install is;
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) Failed to start Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
The options I have are to abort, retry or ignore. If I retry the same message comes back and if I abort or ignore the download continues and I then get the following message:
'Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes Helper. Please uninstall itunes, then reinstall itunes again. Error 2'
After attempting to reinstall itunes only some components were installed however itunes would not open.
It would appear many people have experienced problems with this latest download!

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
