Update Acer Iconia

Hello. I have an Acer Iconia 500 which is about 4 years old. I bought it when my laptop was stolen but unfortunately hardly used and only recently rediscovered it. Despite several attempts by a relative of technophiles and advice from a very helpful Lady in the Acer customer support I couldn't update the device. I tried to use the instructions provided by the customer to 'restore factory settings' but still without success. I'd like to be able to something with it, but for now it's just too much room. For any help or suggestion would be appreciated thanks.

Billsey thanks for your comments. I don't know why, it's now different, but now I went into settings and restored to "factory setting" from there. Now all works well.

  • Acer iconia a100 update fails "network coverage is currently poor."

    My Acer Iconia A100 has Android 4.0.3 and all updates fail with the message:

    Network coverage is currently low

    but it is not 100%, and all other network functions work fine.

    I see a LOT of problems, debate and questions with this same error on models Iconia tab, but so far no clear solution.

    Is this one? or is this just an orphan machine?

    Their support website lists nothing available for the A-100.

    Your version is the latest for PA_CUS1.

    the documentation is normally in the update zip file.

  • No image with customized image of Windows 10 Acer Iconia W510

    I'm trying machines Acer Iconia W510 image with an image of Windows 10 we did. We have already photographed a few tens of individuals. A dozen, however, refuse to take the picture. They are currently on Windows 8. The image on an external hard drive that plug us into the USB port.

    The steps I take to the imaging process are as follows: "Change PC settings"->"update and recovery"-> "recovery"->"Advanced startup" and I click on the button 'Restart now', who sends me to a screen with three options, continue to windows 8.1, troubleshooting, and turn off your PC.

    I select 'Troubleshoot '->' Advanced'-> "Image system recovery"

    The Acer screen appears with "Preparation of the system image recovery" at the bottom. I sign in the administrator account when prompted to choose an account.

    A window appears and scans for images. I selected the "Select a system image" option and then select the correct image of Windows 10.

    Then, I select the only available option for "select the date and time of the system image to restore.

    After that, there is a message that says "for the restoration of this computer, needs of Windows to format the drive that the Windows recovery environment is running on." To continue with the restore, shut down this computer and it boot from a Windows installation disc or a disc repair system, then try the restore again. "At this point, I have no way to continue.

    Even if I plug the USB recovery drive we used, I get the same message. I don't know what the problem is or how to get past. Any help is appreciated!

    Hi Ryan,

    According to the description, you can not install updates and the this issue may occur if one or more of the following conditions are met: 

    1. The Windows Update database is damaged.
    2. Antivirus software is configured to scan the folder % Windir%\SoftwareDistribution.
    3. Service (BITS) Background Intelligent Transfer Service does not receive a content link header.
    4. A required system file is incorrectly registered.

    Try it out below mentioned methods and see if it works for you.

    Method 1

    First of all, I suggest you run Windows update troubleshooting tool to get the problem automatically detected and corrected. This fixit checks the configuration of the Windows Update components and repairs, fixes incorrect Windows Update the locations of data and records of necessary services. For the race, the troubleshooter refer to sub article what can I do if I have problems to install updates.

    Method 2

    I suggest you to check if you are able to access Windows Update services and also make sure that the following services are started. If it is not started, follow the listed below as follows:

    a. press the Windows key + R, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) in the Run dialog box to start, and press enter.

    b. Locate the Windows Update service.

    c. right-click on the Windows Update service and select Properties.

    d. in Startup type, select enable.

    e. click Start under Service status.

    f. click OK.

    g. Repeat steps c to f for the following services :

    CSP & Background Intelligent Transfer Service.

    If these steps do not help to solve the problem, you can proceed to the step below and check.

    Method 3

    If the problem persists I suggest to reset the Windows Update components and for this, try to run the fixit described in the following article. If you already tried the fixit even before that I ask of you rerun the fixit.

  • Reboot Acer iconia W510 problem

    Every time when I start my Tablet (Acer Iconia W510) after the password a message saying something like a reboot is necessary due to some problems (the message and the Tablet works very well after that and I have not noticed any reboots after the password, but maybe before).

    In any case, the message said that the problems exist in the following files

    C:\Windows\Minidump\063013-12703-01.dmp
    C:\users\helja\appdata\local\temp\wer-31921-0.SysData.XML
    C:\Windows\MEMORY. DMP

    Also during the installation of some programs or updates and if the restart is required after installation of the tablet to the first encounters a problem and fails to restart at first but can solve the problem and Tablet so far started normally. (only a message that there are reboot problems but no precise information on the nature of the problem is given)
