Still working on my friend's laptop. I told him to backup all of his files, and specifically directed him to his iTunes Music folder. I then wiped his drive, etc.Now, he says... when the iTouch is plugged in, it should 1) "automatically" install iTunes from the iTouch, 2) the computer will then "remember" his name, settings, and iTouch serial number, 3) so that it can restore the library from all of the music, etc. from the iTouch-- 4) which is NOT the same as the iTunes Music folder, as there is much more on the iTouch that is not in that folder. Again, he tells me this NOW. *Note* The data files (ie iTunes Music folder) have not yet been moved back onto this drive.
1) I had already installed iTunes before I let him try to resync his iTouch. He insisted that me installing it before he plugged the iTouch in is one of the things that is causing this not to "work," so he uninstalled, redownloaded & reinstalled the new version anyway, iTunes 10.5, this morning.
2) He insists that, upon opening up the program the FIRST time, the computer "remembered" his name since it says "[name, name]'s Library" under Preferences. "That's cuz when I installed Windows 7, I put your username as the same that you had. It's just taking it from your username." "So, it remembered?" :facepalm: And he says, "All the settings are the same." "Well, then, you must have just happen to have had them set as the same thing that is default." After nearly 2 weeks, he does not understand what an operating system is or what "erasing everything on the drive so it is completely and utterly blank," means.
3) As for restoring the iTunes library from what is on his iTouch, I'm at a loss there. My first experience with iTunes ever was when a friend put his whole library on my new & empty iTunes, but that was back in 2006.
4) Is it even possible to sync things onto your iTouch without going through iTunes, when it is set up to only work with iTunes, so that the content ends up on the iTouch, but is somehow NOT under iTunes control & thus dumped into the iTunes Music folder? Now I'm just getting confused...
I have a 4th generation iPod Touch and it will sync everything else from my iTunes library except the podcast I have downloaded I have 31 episodes downloaded and they won't sync. On my iPod I tap on Videos and it says No Videos: You can download videos from iTunes Under devices I click on my iPod Touch and in the podcast section I have a check mark next to sync podcast and under that I have check automatically include all episodes of all podcast ans yet it still won't sync the podcast
My old computer crashed and I'm now on a new PC with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
I installed the latest iTunes successfully, but found that my iPhone 4 is now not syncing with it. It can detect the phone, but it's not adding or deleting anything - apps, music or photos. I used to be able to select a Photo Folder to sync from the PC hard drive, but now it no longer works. It, however, works well with my notebook which is running on Win Vista.
There is no error message, the sync and backup apparently goes on only for a few seconds, and then iTunes says it is searching for which apps to install but nothing changes. Even when I've clicked Apply.
I've also tried closing iTunes and I've rebooted the phone but no dice. I've also uninstalled iTunes to reinstall. Doesn't work either. And yes, I installed with the 64-bit installer.
I'm having a problem with my Itouch not being detected as well as a missing driver (PCI Flash Memory). Im not overly concerned about the driver but is anyone else having issues with ther ipods and Windows 7?
Also, is there a version of adobe flash player that works with this OS?
i'm running a windows 7 home premium 64 bit, and for some movies, the video will start in-sync for about 40 minutes, then slowly get farther and farther out of sync, making watching the video un-watchable after another 10 minutes. but it does not do this with all video types. it also does not do this with netflix, Internet, or anything else online.
i'm running a geforce gtx 660m, all drivers are up to date. the files that work are: mp4, files that don't work are: mkv, avi
those are the only files i have tried. it's done this since i got this computer a couple months ago

This is what I've been looking at but will it recognise the ipotouch?? Link..... Free iTunes alternative - Manage iPod iPhone without iTunes
I'm trying to downgrade from iTunes 10.5 to a version that doesn't crash (see my previous thread). However, whenever I do this, I cannot import my Library file (.itl) because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
I use iTunes on my Windows 7 computer to sync with my iPhone, and the last time I went to open iTunes it gave me the error message "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."I had heard that if I uninstalled Quicktime (which is bundled with iTunes when that is downloaded), then reinstalled it separately, it would work again, but after trying that it didn't. So I decided to just uninstall iTunes, then reinstall it. However, every time I try to uninstall it in Add/Remove Programs, it just sits there saying it'll be about eight more seconds to go to finish deleting, but it just sits, and sits, and sits...... Nothing. I also tried to just install the newest iTunes on top of the existing one, but every time I try it tells me that it's already installed and to click "Ok." So I can't uninstall it, nor can I install it, nor will iTunes open on its own. I had done a system restore recently, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
I was having boot problems with my p8p67 so i decided to reinstall. Well I've been having problems since apparently my HDds are in GTP rather then mbr. So when I'm selecting the hard drive in windows install it gives me errors
i decided to re-install windows 7 and bought a copy from PC World.i reinstalled it and it loaded and worked briefly (a few hours) but then wouldn't boot, going to "install repair" and saying it couldn't be fixed (it was trying to fix hard-disk).i thought this was strange as it was a new install but tried again.and this time the same thing happened but straight away.
My computer has had a bad case of the shut downs here recently so i cracked open the case and checked things... it turned out that my heat sink was loose and almost completely off of my CPU.Easy fix right??? I took both off cleaned em up really good applied new thermal compound and put it all back...THAT'S ALL I DID. Now when i press my power button:
1. My light for my power button doesn't come on
2. It doesn't sound like normal...at all...much quieter
3. My screens don't even come up with anything. I've tried going to the Mobo VGA port thinking that it might have reset...that's not the case either.
I lost my copy of windows 7 ultimate. I reinstalled windows 7. before doing this i copied down what control panel said my product key was. after reinstalling come to find out that wasnt the product key. How do i find out what my product key was.
I completely formatted my computer to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, I put in the correct product key and then when I attempted to connect to the internet I couldn't because I don't have the correct drivers. Back when I used to use Windows XP I put a little CD in and then installed the drivers from Device Manager but now with Windows 7, I put the CD in and I can't install the drivers. They show up with a tiny symbol with a yellow exclamation mark on it (it was like this too back when I used XP, but I had no problems then,).
I just re-installed windows 7 to my pc after a recent update caused it to completely crash. Now, about an hour after i turn on my computer it randomly decided to reboot (but not before flashing the BSOD of course).
I reinstalled windows 7 on another drive I have and it wont start up. I get the BIOS flash screen and then a blinking text cursor. Nothing else.. But get this.. when I put my old HDD back in the computer allows me to select between the 2 different windows installs on both drives and it lets me boot into the fresh install on the new disk.. But only when the old disk is in.
Until recently, I was running a bootlegged Windows 7 copy. Finally I broke down and bought it from a friend at Microsoft. But now all my driver software is lost. Where can I find an online driver updater that won't kill me with viruses? And is there anything else I should do to protect my system?
I have HP G42 laptop ...recently it showed up a msg called bootmgr is corrupted n was redirecting to ctrl+alt+del to restart....so i didnt format the drive but just installed windows again in the same drive ...but i didnt find the other data previously i had stored..
I had to re install windows 7 and wipe my hard drive due to a BSOD, when i try to connect to the internet it says I am missing drivers, when I click download drivers it tells me it can't find any.
I bought this roughly a year ago PB Tech - NBKLEN1252535B : LENOVO IdeaPad G570 Sandy Bridge i5-2410M 2.3GHz 8GB (4Gx2) DDR3 640GB 15.6" ATI HD6370M 1G DEDICATED VGA BT2.1 2.0MP HD Webcam 802.11n DVDRW HDMI Win7 Home Premium 64bit 6Cell I re-installed Windows 7 Home Premium yesterday and discovered I lost all my drivers and device management/disk management/computer manage etc shows no manufacturers name for each driver needed. tell me which drivers I need for my laptop to be running as good or as close to new as possible by what's just listed on the website?Note- I don't even have ethernet card driver!
I was using my laptop fine for a few month now. I let a friend use it for a week and he "somehow" got a virus . I wasn't too stressed as i didn't have any personal information or anything important on it. So i reinstalled Windows using my flash drive, the iso from the Windows 7 Professional 64bit CD i had, and the Windows USB-DVD tool downloaded from Microsoft. I changed the boot priorities in BIOS to my USB drive, went through the installation setup and formatted all the partitions on my HDD and installed windows 7 professional 64bit. It loads up and for the most part works fine.First off my resolution will not go above 1024 x 768. Even though previously it was a lot higher, can't remember exact resolution, but was higher than that. Next, when i go to device manager, the following are listed under Other Devices with Yellow Exclamation points by them; Ethernet Controler, Network Controller, PCI Simple Communications Controller, and SM Bus Controller. I've Googled, searched these forums, and tried each solution out there. But to no avail.I purchased the laptop from Best Buy but i do not have any kind of recovery CD's.
Basically i think windows is not properly recognizing the hardware i have installed. Because the laptop screen can go to a higher resolution, but windows won't recognize it properly. Even Windows Aero isn't working properly, and the computer is marketed as a gaming laptop, so i know it has the graphical power.Feel free to explain in detail as i'm pretty good with computers but this problem has me stumped. And for a person that will not stop until something is fixed, its driving me crazy.I'm doing this off another laptop i have that has access to the internet (obviously). So if there are any programs i need to download i have the ability to do so.
I've reinstall my Windows 7. But now i don't know the reason why my CPU always show that 100% CPU, even when starting! I've found that in window task manager there are three processes: cmd.exe, cmd.exe*32 and again,cmd.exe, (I don't run them) and if I end them CPU usage will be normal.
I just reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium because I had about 4 redirecting issues or viruses when I would use any search engine. Anyway. Now I can't run a program that ran perfectly before. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I used the compatibility trouble shooter. The only thing I haven't done is get all my drivers yet. Could not having all my drivers make a program unresponsive or do you think it is a separate problem. Like I said it worked perfect before and the only difference is I had all my drivers installed.
I had a redirect virus...uninstalled & then reinstalled windows 7 home premium. I also saved my documents. However, when I just went to open my documents, they wouldn't open because they end in .doc
So I recently wiped my harddrive due to a blue screen and reinstalled windows 7. Now it won't connect to the internet at all. It is wired to a wireless linksys WRL54GL but does not detect it.
I was thinking I may need to update some of my network drivers, which is going to stink doing that offline. I just wanted to make sure there aren't any more routes I could go to fix this problem
I have a Sony Vaio VGN FS115B laptop. I have just reinstalled windows 7 ultimate and now I cannot get the screen resol;ution that I need which is 1280x800.
By "blank" I mean an empty laptop hard drive. I'm going to have my hard drive replaced, so I believe the new hard drive won't have an operating system installed on it. So if I create a system image and store it in an external HDD, will I be able to reinstall the OS simply py plugging the external HDD into the laptop ?
