Windows XP (sp2) will not update after replacing the hard disk of my Presario V4435NR with a new one

Hi,
I had to replace my Presario V4435NR hard disk (80 GB) with a new 160 GB hard disk from Samsung. The original hard disk did not crash but was churning all the time and did not have enough space for all I wanted to put on it. I installed the new 160 GB hard disk (which of course did not have the recovery partition that my old one had on it) and ran recovery from the recovery DVD I made when I first bought the laptop. Everything worked fine until I tried to update my xp through windows update website. This is the error # I get from windows updates (0x80072EE2).
How can I get my xp to run updates sealessly as it used to before?
THank you
Abdul

I installed it already and things were fine (updates installed with no problems) for a while but the same problem resurfaced after I installed MS Office. Xp gave me the same error code when I tried to update. Woke up in the morning and tried windows update again and windows found lots of updates and installed them smoothly.
What is causing this inconsistency?
* Now, I'm unable to get any updates (windows updates website gives me the same error code)

MS office word (2011) will not save files on the hard disk. It will save on USB drives. Help!

I have installed MS Office 2011 on our iMac and Macbook Air. The program works as expected on the Macbook Air. However, on the iMac, neither Word nor Excel will save files to the internal hard drive. Both save files to a USB memory stick. The error message I receive is:
This is not a valid file name.
Try one or more of the following:
* Chech the path to make sure it was typed correctly.
* Select a file from the list of files or folders.
I expect it is something with the file saving options, but haven't been able to sort it out.
Help please.

Found the answer with the help of Microsoft Office for Mac telephone support.....
The name of the Mac Hard drive started with "\"
Microsoft office can't cope with that.
Renamed the hard drive without the back-slash and it works fine.

Windows 8 Laptop will not recover after closing the lid

I have a Compaq C60-420US.
The OS was Win7 on an OEM install which worked fine. I could close the lid of the laptop and when opened, the OS would resume normal operation.
I upgraded the OS to Win8.
Since the upgrade, when I close the PC top and then open it, I cannot get the computer to respond. The drive shows activity, the DVD sounds like it goes active for a moment but the screen remains black. If I press the on/off button it begins
flashing and when pressed again it does the same type of activity as when I open the laptop cover. I have made sure that the BIOS is up to date. I have tried disabling the CPU sleep mode in BIOS, no change. I have tried disabling hibernate
in power options, no change. I tried reverting to the Win7 video drivers from the HP website, no change. I don't know what else to try.
I have researched this problem on google search and have come up empty other than the things that I have already tried.

There are currently no drivers up on the HP website for this monitor using Win8.
So, try installing Win-7 drivers in compatibility mode.   If switchable graphics are involved see this tip

Also, I think it would be interesting to see if you could boot in VGA mode, e.g. as a workaround if you didn't have the second monitor to use.   A procedure that I have been suggesting on that tack involves this loop, assuming the lock screen is
being shown on the black screen...

<loop>
Shift-Tab, Shift-Enter, wait.   If the drive light start flashing, wait even longer for it to settle down.
</loop>
</quote>
Now I'm wondering if the problem could be related to the resolution required to show your lock screen?  Is there anything special about it in that regard?   If so, maybe the target of my workaround should be the Space Needle?
(E.g. the lock screen for unknown account.)...
Oh, no.   I have made a change which invalidates my procedure and I can't figure out how to undo it.   I have done something which requires me to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete before I can use the Lock Screen. Also, in that case I'm finding
that Shift-Enter may not be appropriate any more but only a Space would be allowed (e.g. for my Plan-B, opening the Accessibility menu in order to hear Narrator's comforting words and then activate Narrator to guide the user through the darkness.)
Why is this being designed to be so unusable?
Good luck

IPad Air Apps will not update after ios8.0.2

I Now have 17 apps that will not update after I updated my iPad Air to 8.0.2. What gives? Some apps are stuck in mid update, so i can't use them. My wifi works. I have restored my iPad twice using iTunes. I have plenty of empty storage. I have reset my iPad. I'm out of ideas.

I have been having the same problem but was able to get around it by updating the apps in iTunes on my Mac then syncing my iPad to iTunes on my Mac. Certainly not an elegant solution but until Apple gets this fixed it is the only way I have found to get updated Apps.

HT1338 Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

Sorry for being unclear.
When I am using the update in the App Store App, there will be a list of various applications that have updates to be installed (Final Cut Pro will be in this list). I will already be logged in with the Apple ID I use for everything (my dev account). I will be able to update all of the other various applications needing updating except for my Final Cut Pro. When I click the update button next to the FCP update, it will give me an error saying "This download is not available for this apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"
I have not had any applications refunded or cancelled and this has only happened since my update to Yosemite. FCP was working fine until the upgrade. Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

Can you attach a screenshot or link to the instructions you are following?
You are on the 3.6 release and Firefox 7.0.1 is out. You can download and install the latest release from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ if you would like to update now. The 3.6 version will be maintained for a while longer, but you should update when you can.

After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and itunes, it seems that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior..

After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and my ipod (Classic 160gb) it would seem that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior to the original harddrive's failure for Tiger OSX 10.4.11
Any ideas on the subject would be most helpful
Thanks in advance
Dingoh

The last security update released for Tiger users was the 2009-005 update. The latest version of QuickTime is 7.6.4. The last version of iTunes that can run on Tiger is 9.2.1, because 10.0 only supports Mac OS X Leopard and later.
So, are you on version 9.2.1?
Was it Tiger or Leopard you had on the drive before?
iTunes 9.2.1 download...

Hi! I am having the same problem. What's odd is that a few days ago- the ipad was connecting to the network fine. No changes made. Other devices can connect to this network. I have also been able to connect my ipad to other networks.
I have reset all network settings, reset my ipad, reset the router, hard stop reboot, turn on/off wifi connection. what's interesting is that when i click the arrow next to the network i am trying to log onto- the ip address, router, and dns numbers come up automatically and the router number does not fill in (also- this process takes a long time- at least 5 minutes).
any thoughts?

How do I authorise my Imac for Itunes after replacing the hard drive?

Dear All,
Apologies, but I am new to forums and understand that the issue of "Authorisation" of Itunes purchases and rentals has been done to death! However, I have tried everything and have exhausted normal research on the Net, there doesnt seem to be standard sollution to my problem. I have replaced the Hard Drive in my Imac 2008 with an SSD which makes the Imac very fast and effcient and completely clean of the usual trash in an old computer. So before renting my first movie, I did the following:..................................
Formatted the hard drive and downloaded and upgraded to OSX to 10.5.8 (the latest I can go on this Imac (I think) Intel 3.06Ghz 2 core and 4GB SSDRAM)
Upgraded Itunes to the latest available
Upgraded Quicktime to the latest available.
I rented a film which will not play and initially I got the "not authorised on this computer" message which kept repeating despite saying it was "waiting"
So I did the usual apple support search and tried the following:..................................
I checked that my apple User ID and password where up to date and that I was purchasing on the right ID
Tried the standard.....Itunes/Store/Authorise this computer - tried unauthorising and then re-authorising No luck
I tried deleting the (/Users/Shared/SC info) file No luck
I tried the Terminal based solution "sumo chmod -R 777 /Shared/Users" fix It didnt work either
I don't get the authorisation warning any more but just get a black screen with a grey horizontal stripe across the middle
I would be very grateful if somene could give me another sollution to try............................
Thank you very much,
Sfithy

Double & triple check that you installed the hard drive correctly.

I have a MacBook Pro that I bought almost a year ago, next day problems with the hard disc that could not be diagnosed by the service, after 3 months they realized it and changed it with a new one, after 3-4 months heated and shut down and dont work anymo

I have a MacBook Pro that I bought almost a year ago, next day problems with the hard disc that could not be diagnosed by the service, after 3 months they realized it and changed it with a new one, after 3-4 months heated and shut down by itself and dont work anymore. From apple say even a year has not passed it is not under garancy and I should pay to fix it without ans issue.

My mac mini does not boot, after backing the enire system onto an external drive with Carbon Copy Clone

My Mac Mini does not boot, after backing the enire system onto an external drive with Carbon Copy Clone. I had switched the start-up disk back to the original of course. Now all I see is the Apple logo. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Try disconnecting any external devices, especially hard drives
and try rebooting.
If that doesn't help, then :
If you are running Lion, boot to the Recovery HD and run a
Repair Disk on the OSX partition.
If Snow Leopard, boot to the installl DVD and run Repair Disk.

Is there any way?
Thank you.

If I follow you correctly, you either have or will be replacing the hard drive in your iMac. You don't have the original OS X disks nor an operating system disk. Do you have a bootable backup? Here are some steps/options:
1) If you have a bootable backup, install the hard drive, boot from the external hard drive, then use SuperDuper or CCC to copy the external hard drive to your new internal hard drive.
2) You have your old hard drive, and it's not dead. Put it into an external case and see above.
3) You don't have either a bootable backup or a working old hard drive. You can try calling Apple Support to see if they still have the original OS X disks for your system. If they do, they'll charge a nominal price for them.
4) You checked and Apple no longer has disks for your system. You can go to the used market to buy Leopard 10.5 disks. If you do, be sure and get retail black-faced disks, but don't get the black-faced disk which is an upgrade disk .... if you don't have 10.4 on your system, it won't work. Careful of gray-faced OS X disks as they are locked to the original system type they ship with. So a gray faced OS X 10.5 disk for a MacBook won't work on your iMac.
5) Another related option is to buy 10.6 Snow Leopard, if your system meets requirements. This is still sold by Apple, and in the US is available online for $29.99 from the Apple store. Snow Leopard requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
6) Or you could consider Lion, via the USB stick that is sold in Apple stores. Lion requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory (4GB recommended)
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Hopefully I haven't totally misunderstood your question, and answered something you weren't asking!

NEW to TIME MACHINE - if files deleted, will it be missing in the hard disk

i probably know that this is a silly question but here goes:
i've backup my hard drive into my external hard disk using a time machine.
if, i deleted the files in my mac. will it be missing in the hard disk too?
because, i am already low on space and would really want to delete my important files that already backed-up.
thanks!

YES! Not immediately, but sooner or later, Time Machine will delete it's copies of things that are no longer on your system. See #20 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Depending on the circumstances, the copies may be deleted in as little as 24 hours.
because, i am already low on space and would really want to delete my important files that already backed-up.
Backups, especially Time Machine backups, and extra space are two very different things.
Your best bet is to get a larger HD for your Mac, so you can keep all the originals there.
Second best is a another external HD; copy some things to it and delete them from your Mac, and let Time Machine back up both your internal and the new external.
