Recover data |
Always you have to use software installed on Apple Computer and/or PC Computer, before giving up you have to try different dockstation, different usb cable and mainly different computers with different software, my good result:Using Apple Computer to recover PC Data using R-Studio and Data Rescue, in Windows Get Data Back is good, but keep in mind that data cold be recovered using different format.

Install Intel Chipset or the Chipset for that machine, sometimes the operating system need the driver to enable the Mouse Pad, it usually happen when the machine or windows is so new and the installation is not factory one.If the mouse still not working maybe is because some drivers conflicting try to do a fresh installation then install the chipset driver
Mostly this is driver issue, Windows 10 did not install it automatically and sometimes trying a lot of times will make the bios or windows driver messy. |

- Paste the address you copied in step 4, by pressing CTRL+V, and click Add.
- In the Folder Name box, type the name of the calendar as you want it to appear in Outlook, and then click OK.
When you start Outlook, it checks Google Calendar for updates and downloads any changes. If you keep Outlook open, it also periodically checks for and downloads updates. (Google Calendar tells Outlook how often to check for updates.)
NOTE: Changes you make in Outlook aren’t sent to your Google Calendar. To update your Google calendar, open Google Calendar from a browser.

The calendar opens in side-by-side view in the Outlook Calendar. It’s also added to the Navigation Pane in Calendar view, under Other Calendars.
NOTE: The imported calendar is a static snapshot. To update it, you need to subscribe to it or repeat this procedure to import a copy of the most current version of your calendar in Google Calendar.

Transferring current hard disk drive windows and get it working on another computer |
We have to remove all the drivers from the current windows, we recommend you clone the hard disk drive and then later work on the clone drive, get system prep |
cd c:\Windows\system32\sysprepsysprep (enter)
select OOBE
Step 1. Boot Windows 7 normally and run the command prompt as administrator (Start >All Programs > Accessories >Right-click on Command Prompt > Click on ‘Run as administrator’).
Step 2. In the command prompt type: %windir%System32SysprepSysprep.exe , hit [Enter].
Step 3. The ‘System Preparation’ dialog box opens. Here, choose ‘Enter System Out-of-Box-Experince (OOBE)’ for ‘System Cleanup Action’, select the check box ‘Generalize’, select ‘Shutdown Options’ as ‘Shutdown’ and click ‘OK’.
Step 4. The ‘System Preparation’ tool generalizes now the Windows system setup and shutdowns after the completion. Caution: Do not run any other programs when the process is on the way.
Step 5. Now you can replace your new hardware or mount the hard disk to a new computer. After getting ready with your system, boot your PC from the hard disk which contains the generalized Windows 7.
Tip: Reset Windows 7 Password Without CD or Software.
Step 6. When booting, you cannotice it as if you are installing a fresh Windows 7 setup. It installs the default drivers and updates the system registry. The complete procedure needs one or two reboots depending on your system specifications.
Step 7. At last it boots finally and you need to enter all necessary information as needed at the time of a fresh installation.
Step 8. When creating a user for the PC, do not put the old user name as it already exists in the system.
You can create a temporary user for the purpose of completing the process and log-on with the old user name choosing from the list at the log-on screen. For instance, you can give the user name as Temp.
Step 9. You are almost done. Windows now boots to default OOBE first boot desktop. Notice that all your installed programs are there, also your old user profiles and folders as well. Windows installed the default drivers, though you can update them if you need.

Blinking Capslock or Number Key
BIOS flashing light error codes for computers released between 2011 and January 2015
In the following table, the blinks are consistent, with a pause between each sequence.
Component tested

Caps Lock/Num Lock LED
|
Error condition
|
Troubleshooting steps
|
CPU
|
LEDs blink 1 time
|
CPU not functional
|
Contact support for repair.
|
BIOS
|
LEDs blink 2 times
|
BIOS corruption failure
|
If a BIOS corruption error occurs, you might not even notice the blink codes, because as soon as the computer recognizes the error, it restarts, attempts to recover the BIOS, and then restarts again. You might notice an extra-long startup process as a result, and a message indicating that the BIOS has been recovered might display on startup. If this occurs, update the BIOS on the computer. For more information, see Updating the BIOS.
If the computer does not automatically recover the BIOS, manually perform a BIOS recovery.
|
Memory
|
LEDs blink 3 times
|
Module error not functional
|
If reseating the memory does not resolve the problem, try replacing the memory modules.
|
Graphics
|
LEDs blink 4 times
|
Graphics controller not functional
|
Contact support for repair.
|
System board
|
LEDs blink 5 times
|
General system board failure
|
Contact support for repair.
|
BIOS
|
LEDs blink 6 times
|
BIOS authentication failure
|
If a BIOS authentication failure occurs, the computer automatically performs a BIOS recovery. If the computer does not automatically recover the BIOS, perform a BIOS recovery manually by pressing all four arrow keys at the same time to cause the BIOS to go to the EFI partition to find and recover the current BIOS. If a manual BIOS recovery is not successful, contact HP for assistance.

Fix Error 3371: Could not initialize license properties
Learn what to do if you see Error 3371: Could not initialize license properties.
Sometimes, when you activate or open QuickBooks Desktop, you might see one of these error messages:
- Could not initialize license properties. Error 3371: QuickBooks could not load the license data. This may be caused by missing or damaged files.
- Could not initialize license properties. [Error 3371, Status Code -11118] QuickBooks could not load the license data. This may be caused by missing or damaged files.
- Could not initialize license properties. [Error: 3371, Status Code -1] QuickBooks could not load the license data. This may be caused by missing or damaged files.
These errors can happen with an out-of-date Windows operating system. There could be damage or a missing Windows component. You may even have an antivirus program that blocks QuickBooks files.
- QuickBooks needs the Microsoft MSXML file to run. This file helps QuickBooks retrieve the info in the Qbregistration.dat file. This lets QuickBooks open.
- QuickBooks won’t open if it can’t retrieve and validate the license info.
- If QBregistration.dat is damaged when it activates, QuickBooks won’t open.
Right Networks and QuickBooks Enterprise with WebConnect users: You may experience this issue if you open the file before you save it. You must first save the file before you import the .QBO file.
Solution 1: Delete your Entitlement file
The entitlement file tells QuickBooks your product is valid and registered. Find the file and delete it so you can reenter your license and product info.
- Open the Windows Start menu.
- Type “Run” into the search and open Run.
- Type C:\ProgramData\Intuit\Entitlement Client\v8 and then Enter. If this doesn’t open a folder, enter C:\ProgramData\Intuit\Entitlement Client\v6 instead.
- Find EntitlementDataStore.ecml. Right-click the file and select Delete. Select Yes to confirm.
- Open QuickBooks and your company file.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to register QuickBooks again.
If you still see the error after a clean install, you’ll need to work with a qualified IT professional or contact Microsoft. There may be damage to your Windows Operating System.

iTUNES Cannot Be installed |

Here is how I fixed it:
Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall ALL the 2005 Visual C++ Runtime libraries. I had like 7 I had to uninstall.
Next, install ONLY these two files:
vcredist_x64.EXE
and
vcredist_x86.EXE
from
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=26347
For me, when I ran the vcredist installer it never actually said it finished installing. It just showed a progress bar and after a few seconds disappeared. But I saw the installations appear in the Add/Remove programs list.
After that, iTunes installed perfectly. Tested by ES it worked
