8.1 update will lose everything I have just to download?

Original title: Windows 8 to 8.1

I just downloaded a bunch of games, which lasted several hours. recently discovered that I can update to 8.1 for free. 8.1 update will lose everything that I just, I just downloaded?

No, it's just a system update.  It is a lot like an update of the service pack in the old days.  I recommend it to everyone, 8.1 Windows is so much better than 8.0.  All around, it corrects problems as much, making more user-friendly interface and huge performance (it uses about half the memory).

  • I have an Acer computer I want to do a total restore. It came with windows 7 starter edition, and then I bought Microsoft word for it. If Microsoft word will lose if I do the restoration?

    I have an Acer computer I want to do a total restore. It came with windows 7 starter edition, and then I bought Microsoft word for it. If Microsoft word will lose if I do the restoration?

    If you purchased Word on CD, it's no big deal; just reinstall it after the factory restore. If it was bought online, copy the file downloaded to a CD and then reinstall it later.

    Is there a particular reason, why you want to do a restore complete? Have you problems? If so, you can try asking here on how to fix them and do not have to do a restore, reinstall all your programs and all of the updates and service pack 1.

    I didn't know anything about these 3 critical updates. I found them, by chance, allowing Microsoft to determine whether there are updates. I have the system plans to make the automatic updates.

  • New update for Win 7 32 - bit XP - Windows Update will not, so have to do manual updates - that need me?

    I updated from XP to 7 Edition Home Premium in mid-March and have tried since then to run Windows Update, but I get the ubiquitous endless "check updates". I spent hours trying all of the fixes I could find (and understand) with no luck. So I decided to just manually download at least the critical updates, but I have no idea of what updates I need. I have Service Pack 1 and my system is 32-bit. I have 13 updates installed that I downloaded and installed in March because they seemed like it might be useful (I don't remember what most of them were for the moment), but I stopped here because I really didn't know what I was doing, or what I needed and I went back to try to fix Windows Update , but I gave that up. So, does anyone have a list of updates I should keep Windows 7 works correctly? Or should I say to hell with it and download Windows 10? I know my time is short if this is my best option. Any thoughts, advice, ideas, help welcome.

    It is not too hard to do. The value of the automatic updates to "never check updates" and then restart Windows. Download and install KB3020369 and KB3161608.

  • The Apple software update will not install updates

    Each time the Apple software application to be updated by Apple Software Update, the error in the picture below opens and I get it over with to have to do a manual reinstall.  Here, the image shows the most recent upgrade to iCloud and iTunes, but I also got QuickTime are doing the same thing.  It would seem that each manual installation to reinstall a new copy of the GSS, but he keeps having the same problems. Please help diagnose this problem.  The "Download only" option in the window pop up works, but it would be nice for ASU than him.

    An update of the software is pretty useless if it is not updated of software.

    I suspect that all is not well with your copy of the GSS. You can try to fix it, but I suspect a complete tear down and reinstallation of any software Apple will be needed.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • iPad will not update - will be only update one application at a time

    I have a curious problem. Recently, I noticed that I have available updates for applications all the time that have not been downloaded. I see a red circle with a number on my App Stpre app - this didn't use to be the case because the iPad would be updated automatically.

    If I go to the App Store manually and hit all the updates on the updates page waiting all the buttons update app turn to the circle download for a minute and then just go back to update buttons. Nothing is updated.

    Here's the first twist:

    If I try to update by using the UPDATE of each unique application, it will work as long as I don't need to update the application at the top of the list.

    This is the second twist:

    If I update all apps agree only a first, then I remove that first, the next time that the iPad gets new updates to download the top app will get stuck again (some app is) and I have to go and manually update again. So it doesn't seem to be the result of an individual 'bad app.

    Anyone know what I can do to try to get my iPad to begin the auto process

    It's one of the most bizarre App Store update problems I've seen in a while. I guess you trid steps basic troubleshooting, but just in case you don't have it, try the following steps and do them in this order.

    Force close the App Store App. Press twice the House quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used. Swipe to find the app store App shot upward on the overview of the application to close.

    Next force restart the iPad. No data is affected by this. To force the reboot your device, press and hold the two buttons of sleep/wake and home for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

    If this does not help, try this. Reset all the settings. You won't lose any data, but most of the settings of the device will have to be entered again in the settings app. This includes passwords for WiFi network, paper settings painted. SIri, privacy settings, etc.. Settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

    If all else fails, you can restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad before you restore, and then restore the backup when you are finished. If this doesn't always help, restore your iPad like new and all over again. Most bought content can be downloaded again free of charge as long as you use the same ID Apple and as long as the content is always available in the store.

  • Photosmart HP 7520: All wireless network devices will lose connectivity after printing

    Dear all, 
    
        I have a problem with my HP Photosmart 7520 printer where all wireless network devices will lose connectivity after a printer has been sent to the printer.
    
    * Summary
    Wireless network unusable after sending one print to HP printer
    No device ( computers nor smartphones ) can use the Internet nor access internal networks ( 192.168.0/24)
    
    * Details
    Turn HP printer on.  ( wireless direct is off - never turned on )
    HP printer connects to working wireless network.
    Other devices ( phone/computers ) already connected and working.
    From any device, send a document to the printer.
    Printer prints document successfully.
    Immediately after printer has printed all devices cannot access internet IP range ( including HP printer ) nor Internet nor router ( 198.168.0.1 ).
    
    * Reproducibility
    Always
    
    * Work around
    Disconnect all devices from the network.
    Power off printer.
    Reboot Internet router.
    
    * Attempted solutions
    Removed wireless configuration.
    Factory reset.
    Added wireless configuration back.
    Powered on and off printer.
    
    * Printing tested with
    Tested with Macbook10.11/Windows 8/Ubuntu 12/Android 4.4.2
    
    * Not tested
    Ethernet cable directly connected to router.
    
    * Internet Router
    Netgear CG 3700
    

    Number of brand and model of the router?

    These settings are to set up your printer wireless (or wired):

    • Stay connected to your router
    • Trouble printer status 'offline '.
    • Wake mode 'sleep'
    • All wireless devices stay better connected

    While the DHCP is convenient, devices like printers (wired and wireless) should always be assigned a (fixed) IP address manually to avoid conflicts on your wireless network and must be outside the range of the router DHCP.  After the adjustment of the static IP address the computer must be updated to show a Standard TCP/IP port with the IP address of printers under printer properties/Ports.

    1. Set a static in the printer IP address (click here) outside the range of the DHCP of the router (check your manual). It is for Linksys routers, but can be used for all routers. Check your DHCP range and change this first if necessary. More Help Wireless Printing is here and here and still more here.  Video here explains the problem and how to solve the problem. <--> So watch this!
    2. Or check in the printer "Auto Off/sleep/Energy Saving Mode" is disabled the System Mode Time Out is set to zero (0) Use the built-in webserver (EWS) by visiting the printer address IP address in the address bar of your browser, click on settings tab/Auto Off. Or use the printer, printer Home Page (EWS) Wizard. Also check your printer properties.
    3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, disable the IPv6 option in the printer.
    4. Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a socket wall and not to a UPS, power strip or a lightning arrestor. This will cause the printer to drop offline connection and disconnection (checked yes!).

    Additional measures to take if you continue to have the problem (if they are posted)...

  • If I upgrade to win 7 I will lose data stored vista files?

    can anyone help? If I update to windows 7 I will lose data stored. That is, movies, music

    An upgrade maintains your files, a custom installation does not work. It's a good idea to back up your files before upgrading to Windows 7.

    Back up all your files and settings to avoid losing documents, photos and other information. Windows Easy Transfer is a free tool to copy files (not programs) from your PC and then transfer back after installation of Windows 7. If you don't want to use Windows Easy Transfer, you can copy your files to a Flash DRIVE or CD/DVD. Note: The easy transfer will not work when changing languages, or when moving from 64 bit to 32 bit (it will work ranging from 32-bit to 64-bit).

    Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
    Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

    Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
    A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

    • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

    • Install Windows 7

    • Reinstall all your files

    • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

    These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.
