    Hello nancy milano,.

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important is able to complete your update to El Capitan at a later date! The good news is that you can simply delete the "install Mac OS X" install app in the Applications folder on your Mac. Then you can open the Mac App Store when you're ready to update and restart the download from the tab updates or searching through the Mac App Store for El Capitan. This is a resource that explains the process of update more:

    Hello

    1. when exactly you get this error message?
    2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

    Check if the problem persists in the clean boot state.

    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

    Reference:

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
    1. click on start and then click Run.
    2. type msconfig and click OK.

    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

    From what you say, you are probably unable to start Windows.

    In this case, when you start the computer, keep tapping the key "F8" on the keyboard until the Advanced menu comes up. Then choose "Safe Mode".

    You will see something like your ordinary, here to enter office "chkdsk volume: /f" (replace with your hard drive volume, in most cases, it's 'c') at the command prompt.

  • Windows - corrupt file message, telling me to run the chkdsk utility - does not work

    Two observations:

    1 symefa seems to be linked to something of Norton/Symantec called "Symantec Extended File Attributes" that seems related to Unix file data, so why it is present on a Windows system is a good question. A position I've seen connects it with Norton Internet Security 2010/2011 and suggests that uninstall NIS using theNorton removal tool will solve the problem.

    2. the System Volume Information folder is a folder 'hidden super' which is not normally accessible.  This is where Windows XP stores the system restore points andother information important to the operating system .  I suspect that Norton/Symantec has decided to take advantage of the great hidden nature of this file in order to hide some of his own thing.  You can access the System Volume information as described herehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531 and delete the offending file.  But I would get rid of NIS first and then delete the file.

    How this can be resolved without having to reinstall windows?

    If you have the system file corruption, you are probably at the end of the rope - so to speak.  Try to rerun the SFC.  Sometimes a 2nd or even 3rd run corrects corruption.

    Try the system restore.  It can solve your problem if she wasn't there too long.  Usually, it is best to do the restore from SafeMode (F8 at startup)

    Much more likely, you will need to re - build.  Choice:

    1 restore the partition from the factory

    2. any re - install a Win7 disc

    3. implement non-destructive install

    If I were in your shoes, I would like to re - install Windows 7.  It's a tedious process - may 6 to 12 hours passed depending on the speed of your Internet connection and your computer, and it has the amount of memory.  Such a process will lead you to a purely clean and absolutely pristine system that will have significantly improved performance.

    First back up your data, but do something.  Windows Easy Transfer can create a file for a later transfer. For this, use a large external hard drive.

    Now find the software tester training from the manufacturer of your hard drive.  Run three tests to ensure you have a reliable hard drive before starting this process.  It may take a few hours, but I wouldn't do that until this, and you're confident.  If necessary, replace the hard drive - not a particularly expensive or difficult process.

    Choice 1: If your computer came with a factory restore partition, restore that.  Learn how to access the factory restore partition.  It is likely to be found using F8 during the startup of the existing system.

    According to what you have purchased, you must then many UN-installing of unwanted programs.  Don't let no one antivirus or internet security system installs until you are at the end of this process - the last thing you do.  Also do not put a password on your computer until you have completely finished.  If the antivirus or Internet security is installed in this choice 1, uninstall it.  Now start Windows Update, but first change so that it will give you all the updates Microsoft, not only Windows ones. There are probably hundreds of them and it will take hours, but you don't have to watch it.  There will be several rounds of updates.  Keep the new verification updated to what there not.

    Now, install your applications, but only the most immutable stable, for example Microsoft Office.  You can have a few more rounds of updates after that.  Do a Defrag.  No data yet.

    Then take a step that almost nobody does, but if you are already in a similar situation, even once, you'll thank yourself for making.  Create a system image using the Maintenance until the restoration.  Use of the DVD - from 2 to 4.  It will take nearly an hour, but when you are finished, you will have a DVD set that can be used to restore the system to this account or a new drive is precisely what you have so far.  While you're at home spend 5 minutes and create a CD repair system Windows7.

    Of course, after that, you can add your volatile applications such as Flash Player, etc..  Then run Windows Easy Transfer to retrieve all your data and settings.  It's positively amazing how it works, you will find that you won't see a difference with before except that it will be incredibly faster.

    Choice 2: Fact, I prefer this option. Use an original DVD of Microsoft Windows 7, preferably Service Pack 1. It can be any DVD of Windows 7 to the same variety of product - for example the publishing house and 32 or 64 bit depending on your system.   Make sure you have the key of Activation for Microsoft Windows written down.   The only downside to this option is that it is possible but not likely that you might have to find a driver.  This doesn't happen often because even the drivers that the Windows 7 installation process itself does not, will be probably provided in your first pass of Windows Update. Once you get the Windows installation, everything above will be the same.

    Choice 3:  Follow this link for a good description of how to do

    http://WindowsSecrets.com/top-story/WIN7S-no-reformat-nondestructive-reinstall/   This choice will require a lot of time to Windows updates as well.

    Notes:

    I will not work on a computer with ANY Internet security product in this regard.  Everything you want or need is an antivirus product.  The other stuff that is part of their packages don't you will that cause problems.

  • I bought a Macbook used, and now I can't update iMovie, iPhoto and iTunes without apple ID of the older owner how can I work around this?

    Hey everybody,

    This is my first post. A couple of years, I bought a used Macbook. I never did update (it is so long and then I decide to Watch youtube videos... it is not used for work or school). So now, I've updated the Yosemite and I want to get everything updated and it requires that I put a password of the former owner apple ID to update iTunes, iPhoto and iMovie. How can I get around this without reformatting and losing thousands of photos and all my files.

    Thank you guys.

    WordPerfect is not a Microsoft product. It is the processor
    provided by Corel (and in my opinion, WordPerfect is the best word
    available processor).

    Microsoft Word processor is called Word.

    Windows 8, or any other version of Windows has never included
    Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, or any other important application
    software. These programs must be purchased, either by themselves, or as
    part of Microsoft Office. Nor has it ever included WordPerfect.

    If your old computer running an earlier version of Windows, came
    with one or more of them, it was because the seller who sold it
    delivered as part of the package he has sold, not because that
    version of Windows came with it. Suppliers of some, but not all, do the
    even with computers of Windows 8 (but if they do, it is very likely that)
    a trial version).

    I can not even find where to stop the pop ups.  I want to print an email and I need to print the entire page.

    How do you print an e-mail message depends on which e-mail program you use
    or if read you e-mail with your browser. It has almost nothing
    to see which version of Windows you are using; you have the choice between the
    several different e-mail program out there (third as programs
    Although Microsoft programs), just as you have always done. We are all
    different people and which e-mail program (or any other type of)
    program) we prefer depends on us, what we love and how we work.

    And a remaining issue: whenever you move to a new version of almost
    any piece of software, an operating system or anything else,
    It takes time and some effort to learn what's new on this subject and
    How to use it effectively. If your view is ' I can't find anything on.
    This thing. "I have pd a lot of money for nothing," you have not clearly
    spent the time and made the effort.
