failure of computer on windows 7 64bt update
my computer crashed when I tried to download the latest updates for windows 7 64bt was scheduled to return to the computer store, not impressed, that they disabled windows updates, now I fear download updates in case it crashes again, someone else has this problem?
Solution is to buy an external USB hard disk and create a "save image" of Windows 7 before you download and install updates.
You change how Windows 7 installs updates: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates
Use of the "look but let me pick" option.
Should any cause of an update a problem you restore your PC back to how it was before you install any update. The cost of the USB key and the Image backup software will pay for itself, because I am sure that the shop charged $$ for what they were doing.
Yes, there is Windows 7's built in backup and restore the "System Image" function and it works, BUT at least you bought a very large capacity/key USB Backup and Restore will not hold a very many backups.

See info above. I re - run the update process at least 10 times on the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (most recently this morning), and whenever the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (one is 64-bit, one is 32-bit) say that Firefox v34.0 is "up-to-date". I checked Mozilla.org, which States that Firefox v34.0.5 was released in mid-December, but he said nothing about whether this update was only for some OSs. I also ran several scans antivirus from different vendors on two machines running Windows 7 Pro and all scans show no problems.
Please advise is there are different versions of Firefox for Windows 7 family or Professional Edition, or if I'm having a problem. If I'm having a problem, please tell us how I can correct.
We changed how updates were deployed to a test, that's why you were probably the 34.0.5 on a computer and 34.0.0 on the other. The only difference between them is that 34.0.5 defines yahoo as the default search. You don't need to worry because of the different versions (who both were released at the same time BTW)

Have done all updates for iTunes (latest version), reinstalled the drivers, etc. Nano Gen 7 will not be synchronized in windows 10. Must use windows 7 computer to synchronize with the Nano and then use iCloud for around windows 10. When I try to update the Apple drivers, windows 10 says I have the latest drivers installed and will not do anything else.
Is the mark with 10 Windows or Apple? Whatever it is, is there a cure for this problem?
The iPod appears in iTunes, but does not synchronize? Or is the problem that you are unable to synchronize because the iPod does not appear in iTunes?

SP2 is unable to download after failure of computer with windows vista home premium
My computer crashed and I restarted after the DELL factory settings is a Windows Vista Home Premium but I can't seem to download the SP2 so that I can get IE9. I have SP1, but when I try to download the SP2 it tells me to get SP1.
Please do not mark a reply as the answer unless it responds to your question.
It is what is in my previous answer to check what level of Service Pack you have installed.
«Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64 bit installed.»
It will also tell you which SP you have installed. »
What does it there?

Just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit version. I have already installed all the updates without problem, but when I try to install one of the recommended update language packs my computer hangs during the update "facility" progress bar gets about 90% full. I never get an error screen, the computer just hangs, even the mouse becomes unresponsive. I waited for hours in the hope, it was just temporary, but I ended up having to reset the computer. He told me he could not update and restores the changes when it starts. This happens whenever I try to install a language pack.

New computer with Windows 7, stuck on the specific update
Hello world!
I have recently (last Saturday) purchased a new HP laptop with Windows 7 installed. The computer is now going through the standard (I guess they are standard) updates for Windows and successfully completed several rounds of them. Last night after having turned it off the computer began another series of updates, with 14 in the total bundle. She started 1 of 14 around 20:00 and started 4 of 14 at 22:30. From 08:30 the next morning, he was still on 4 of 14.
Is this an update that takes 12 hours to install, or is there another problem causing my computer to not to go beyond the update? I found no way to bypass the update or cancel it.Thank you!
