problem with restart operating system upgrade

I recently bought a refurbished mac model identifier: imac8, 1... I bought and installed snow leopard operating system and I am now trying to upgrade further, the problem I have is when I do an upgrade that the computer does not restart, it just goes to the star screen and do not turn off and restart it, how do I solve this?

If the computer still has installed 10.6.3 according to your profile and then download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. Then, open the software update (System preferences - software update) and see if there are several updates to the system. If there is, install them all!

If you want to install a newer version of Mac OS X, then you will need to make sure that the computer has 4 GB or more of RAM (your sleeps 6GB) and then navigate to the Mac App Store and install El Capitan 10.11.1

If you continue to have problems, maybe a visit to the dealer that you buy is in order or you will need to find a CENTER in your area that can help. Apple stores won't work on a 2008, it is considered a legacy machine.

    Hello

    These are forums for Vista, so vista information is provided

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    __________________________________________________________

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD

    Greetings to one and all and I thank very you much for your help to help me.

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1501 with Windows Vista Home Basic AMD Mobile Sempron processor. Recently, I tried to upgrade the free version of my Antivir Avira antivirus for a trial version, but during the process, I lost my internet connection. Sometimes, my network shows another "Local and Internet" and "Local" only. However, in both cases I am not able to connect to the Internet. Whenever I try to open a page in the browser, it is blank and nothing appears on the screen... I also try to reinstall the operating system, but since I can't access the Internet when I reached the point of the process called "GET IMPORTANT updates to UPDATE for the INSTALLATION" where I have to choose between two options a) go online to get the latest updates (recommended) and b) do not get the latest updates for facilities , I can only opt for the other that says that the installation may fail. Therefore, it seems that I cannot even reinstall the operating system. In addition, I often small windows to appear on my screen as "msnmsgr.exe" "skype.exe" "OSA.exe" file corrupted with such messages "the file C:\Users\ myname\AppData\Local\Temp directory is corrupted and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility ". However, the problem is I can't run the check disk, because every time I have it try I got the following message "checking file system on C, the type of files is NTFS one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You can cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue"until I read the whole message again appears" the disk check was cancelled ". I am not able to get the help and Support Windows open, but on the window I only heard the message "you have lost your connection using Windows and support". I don't know what to get my computer works well and my connection internet back. Someone here tell me step by step what to do to solve all the problems mentioned above? I am very grateful to each of you. Please, note that from my computer I have not access to Internet, so tell me any solution which will take me to use my computer to connect to the Internet. Sorry for the length of my post.

    PS at the beginning of this problem I used to have errors with their code on the screen of my laptop, but unfortunately I did not take account of their > more, for to appear the problem worsens my computer was a bit slow

    SECOND POST OF THIS THREAD

    First of all, thanks a lot to you all and especially to the Lorien-SpiritX and their insightful answers. As they both suggest to me I tried sfc/scannow and I received the following message on my laptop screen "start the phase of checking system scan audit 44% complete Windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation"

    I did also check CHKDSK/f/r utility Office and I received the following message "the type of the file system is NTFS cannot lock drive current CHKDSK cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts "and I answered Yes

    In addition, I tried to use my CD to reinstall my operating, but if it starts well by copying files to the end of the process, when the second stage of the process "expand our files" starts, it stops at 27% and never goes further.

    These are all questions, added to all that I already mentioned in my first post with the same title

If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

    Probably, all in all probably is a 16-bit program, and as such does not work on Windows 8.0/8.1 64 bit. In addition, the game seems to have 20 years or more. You can try running in compatibility mode, but I think that the game is dead. Hope this helps and if you need help please post and we will be happy to help you.

  • Why the books are grouped and preinstalled with the operating system?

    It's complaints

    My Portege has Windwosw Vista. I didn't want to buy Vista, but they were only selling with him and no other choice was possible to purchase.

    First of all, my laptop had problems to install Windows updates. I could not connect my institution's Internet System. I had to reinstall the system again.
    It's a waste of time!

    After re-installation of the button for the sound on the outside Panel does not work correctly.

    Also, when I try to stop the laptop sometimes it restarts itself - he doesn't stop!

    Secondly, I had a problem with the laptop, when an opportunity to visit a well-known site, it serves to block itself.
    Once, when he is blocked, I had to restart and its screen remained black. They took for repair. It was delivered later - repaired, but with a defect on the screen!
    What a... workers!

    When I bought this laptop he had an offer with the update of Vista with Windows 7 after their release.
    Wonderful. But just note, Toshiba has the highest price of the offer, compared to its competitors - 30 (or £) against 15 for others, which of course I'm not going to pay.

    I already paid for Vista, which is incredible, and I knew, but I had not choice not to buy!

    All right, so there is still competition in the market, several possibilities are present - install Windows cracked, switch to Linux or just buy an Apple!

    Please, take this comment seriously! And please, stop with group buying, no matter what the benefit is. It won't work for long.

    Hi mate

    Fact is that most of the laptop manufacturers sell the computer and laptop computer with a preinstalled operating system. So I wouldn't blame Toshiba or other brands for which

    You get a new computer/laptop with a new OS.
    During the past 20 years, Microsoft released 3.0 Win, Win 95, Win 98, Win NT, W2k, Win XP, Win ME, Vista and Win 7, I remember that all my computers or laptops were grouped with these operating systems

    Toshiba offers the notebook with a clean image and you can also create a recovery disk (so don t need to buy anything if you need t n)
    Of course, each of us can install a clean OS, but there are a lot of people who are happy with such image pre-installed because everything is pre-installed and configured.

    Many people have no knowledge of computer wide and are really recognizing that everything is pre-installed and the configuration does not have a lot of time

    With regard to the question of the laptop;
    What to say; you had a bad luck that something was wrong with the laptop. This can still happen that my new LCD TV other manufacturer, was dead after two weeks, I called ASP, then replaced the screen now is ok

    When I try to connect my computer with XP operating system, I get this error message to: rund1132.exe and cannot log out.  How can I fix?

    Hi KERRYYX,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. When was the last time it was working fine?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?
    4. What is the full error message that you receive?
    5. Are you able to restart and shut down the computer?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Qosmio G20 error message: problem with the cooling system has been detected

    I'm trying to fix a Qosmio G20 (which is about 3 years old, it is no longer in warranty).

    Error message: Warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected.

    I managed to remove the outer case and observe the operation of the machine, and basically one of the fans does not at all. The fan which is closest to the power connector seems to work very well (he seems to be turning a lot, do not know if this is normal), but the other fan who does not seem to move at all.

    When I put in place the case and on the machine, I noticed after a few minutes the vent of the fan working heat sink had warm enough, while led the non-working fan remained cool.

    I cleaned the fan from dust and have also changed the BIOS battery mode mode high performance, but the problem still exists.

    I would be grateful if someone could give advice if the problem is the fan or something else.

    If the fan is the problem, where I can buy a: i live in the United Kingdom?

    Hello

    I think there might be something wrong with the cooling module and the replacement would be necessary.
    Usually, this should be done by an authorized provider (ASP) in your country.

    Technicians could replace it with a new part and also could renew the thermal grease which is placed between the module and the CPU cooling.

    So contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

    By the way; also, you can buy the cooling of the ASP module!

    Good luck

  • Error message "A problem with the cooling system" on Satellite A660

    Hi all

    Hope I can get help here. I got about 5 laptop computers HP after each of them had problems and errors. I got sick of them and so got a refund and bought a high spec A660-1FH.

    The A660 is a great laptop for two days until yesterday when I started having a saying of warning message "a problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the power immediately and return it for service "."

    The cpu fan works fine you can here it turns and the temperature of the processor i5 - 460 m is around 40 degrees for two hearts - that seems normal to me. I noticed that this happens only when running on battery, and if you switch from eco utility to the power saving mode. Its fine when running on the "balanced" power setting The fan is louder before when this message appears.

    Like its less than 28 days my retailer swapped it for a brand new immediately. Got a new home page, and the same message reappears. Everyone knows this. Like two laptops had this, I was wondering if it is normal that the laptop A660 series or if it was really a hardware problem?

    I tried to update the eco utility and the bios of the laptop, but the two are the latest versions. Can someone help or share if they have a similar problem with their laptop?

    Thank you

    In front of me, I have Satellite A660-13 q (PSAW3E) and I have about 6 weeks now. It works almost 10 hours a day and so far I didn't notice this message or anything that may be suspect for the operation of the equipment.

    I put really know why this happen on your laptop and don t think that there is nothing you can do about it.
    I would trade it again. What you can also try is to contact the closest service Toshiba. Make a call, explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this.

    My camera Olympus only works with Apple's Quick Time 7.  Is it possible to make it work with my operating system from Windows XP?

    Apple QuickTime 7 works is because. MOV is the Apple
    QuickTime format.

    QuickTime. MOV files can cause problems with Windows Media Player.
    And... If you plan to try editing with Movie Maker... the files should
    be converted to the. WMV format.

    No guarantee, but the following decoder might allow Windows Media
    Reader to read your. MOV files. Only problem is... it is not freeware to retail.

    Convert the. MOV files to the. WMV format may be worth a try:

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag > FFSetup295.exe< out="" of="" the="">
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
