that tells me that your made some kind of mistake generating the sfcdetails.txt file.

Please reread the tutorial and attach the sfcdetails.txt file to your your next post.

fliint · 18 Aug 2012

I redid the tutorial, same thing nothing in the txtfile

karlsnooks · 18 Aug 2012

the file is not empty, as evidenced by the post you made of a part of the cbs.log file.

Boot up into SafeMode.

Go To an Elevated Command Prompt
Elevated command prompt = Run CMD.EXE as administrator

WIN | type CMD.EXE | do not hit Enter |
in the PROGRAMS list, right-click on CMD.EXE |
choose "Run as administrator" |
Click on the YES button (if such appears)

WIN key = key with Microsoft log on top

for the guru:
WIN | type CMD.EXE | CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER key combo | ALT+Y keycombo

Enter following, precisely as written:

Code:

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log > %userprofile%\desktop \sfcdetails.txt

This will put the sfcdetails.txt file onto your desktop. Upload that file.

karlsnooks · 18 Aug 2012

fliint · 18 Aug 2012

This is really annoying i bought my ipod, updates not working and i cant put music on my ipod since i cant install itunes

Are you shutting down your computer first?

Shutdown, not reset, but 100% powerdown
then boot straight to SafeMode and here is how:

BOOT TO SAFE MODE

Ø Power down your computer.
Ø Power up your computer.
Ø IMMEDIATELY—Start tapping the SPACEBAR
Ø When the Windows Boot Manager screen appears,
Press the F8 key
Ø The Advanced Boot Options screen will appear.
Ø Using the down arrow key, highlight Safe Mode
Ø Press the ENTER key.

In shorthand,
PowerUp | Spacebar until Windows Boot Manager
| F8 | Safe Mode | ENTER

Had a very similar problem with a Vista machine this worked perfectly

1: Go to Administrative Tools/Services, and stop the Windows Update service.
2: Then go to the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and delete ALL of the files and folders.
3: Then go back to Services and restart the Windows Update service which will recreate ALL of those folders again.
4: Then manually run the Update Service and everything should work. If you don't know how to manually start updates, reboot & Auto Updates should kick in.

I have since tried it on my 7 tester and it works fine.

To see updates though you will not see them in history - but in Installed updates
