Just activate the Windows 8 OS via an internet connection, then install all optional, recommended and important drivers from Windows Update, reboot and it'll work.

I currently have OSX 10.4.11 and need to upgrade my software. I do not have Time Machine yet. My processor is an intel Core 2 duo. Do I have to upgrade to snow leopard 10.6.8 before upgrading to Mavericks?
Assuming your computer has the minimum system requirements yes, upgrade to 10.6.8 and then open the Mac App Store and upgrade to Mavericks. You can only get SL 10.6.x from Apple's online store, it is $20. Prior to upgrading to 10.6.x get an external HD and use a utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and make a bootable clone of your system to safeguard all of your valuable data. In the event you have a problem the backup will be invaluable!!!!!
Considering your computer is at best a 2007 iMac I would STRONGLY recommend upgrading your RAM to 6GB, the maximum a 2007 machine can accommodate. You can buy this from either Crucial or OWC (www.macsales.com).
Another option is due to the age of your computer is considering buying a newer machine. -
I just bought an imac in september 2012. And i just find out that my microphone is not working. So i did an apple hardware test and with no problems found? I have sound but no one can hear me, not even the computer. Should i bring it back to the store
Before you go through that trouble open About this Mac > More Info... > System Report > Audio and see if the system actually knows it has a microphone. Then you can look into Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup and see if the microphone is there, select it and make sure the sliders are set to full. Then in System Preferences look for Sound > Input and make sure it shows up there and the sliders are at least half way up. If none of that works do a
SMC RESET

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
then go through the process of looking for the microphone again as the reset may reenable the mic. -
I have an iPod Touch 8GB 2nd gen and it's only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem.
Any idea what I can do to fix this?you can connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode:
Hold down the Home button and the Power button simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off.
Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device
and restore it to default settings, in order to remove your password (or just remove your password directly from the iPod touch, in order to sync with iTunes) -
I have a hp7250 all in one printer and it just stopped printing hp printer says radio not working
i have a hp 7250 all in one printer it just stopped printing my compute says its offline but when i go to pinter and try set up it says cannoct connect then review says raido not working
If that reset did not resolve the issue, and the printout indicates that the wireless radio is not working then there are a few options that we can go through.
First, make sure that through the Setup Menu that the wireless has been enabled and turned on. If these options are not available, you may have to try a differnet reset that I will PM to you.
Also, if the wireless radio is not functional then you might consider connecting the printer directly to the router using an Ethernet cord and reinstalling the printer on your computer using that method of communication.
Let me know! Happy holiday! -
Iphone 5 bluetooth texting is not working in my Mercedes E550; Mercedes says it's a phone issue. Any ideas or suggestions?
If your question regards the ability of your Mercedes to access the text messages in your phone, the most likely answer is that your vehicle's audio system does not support the Message Access Profile. This Bluetooth profile was adopted in June of 2009, which means that Mercedes Benz wasn't implementing this capability mid-year.
Your Merc simply will not be able to access those messages.
If the dealer can do an update of the Firmware, it might improve the capability. But the expense of that might outweigh the ability to gain access to your texts. This is to say that there is even an upgrade possible. This is a major addition to the Bluetooth capabilities.
FWIW, up until recently, most cars havn't had this capability. The earliest adopters were Ford and BMW.

Can no longer install drivers and touch screen not working anymore
I have the HP 520-1130ea all in one PC. Its a touchscreen. I have Windows 7 home premiun 64 bit operating system.
it has been working fine for the last two years and on Friday 11th april, i connected my android tablet (samsung Galaxy tab 7.0) to my pc and it could not install the drivers so my PC could not see the tablet. Last week this worked ok. I attach my tablet to my pc using a USB cable and transfer files by usb transfer. I dont use any software at all.
I have tried to reinstall the drivers for the android tablet and i get the error code that the drivers were found but they cant be installed. Access denied.
I have also tried to restore my pc to the last time everything worked ok which was just a week before the problem started, but the restore has failed on 4 occassions.
I have now deleted all updates on my PC from last week and i think I have deleted something or failed to allow something to isntall (a box popped up when i restarted the computer after the update delete which I ignored)
No my touch screen no longer works.
I plugged in an external hard drive to back up my computer and I also could not install the drivers for that too. this just happened today.
My printer is connected to my PC and that still works ok.
I have been battling with this for 4 days now and ploughed the internet for solutions and no hope in sight!
I have also tried:
1. installing optional updates. no luck there. also some of the updates failed
2. giving myself full control on the system 32 folder in windows.
I am the administrator on the PC.
HELP PLS!!!Hi compnewbie,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
Thank you very much for your thorough post and detailed steps! I see that you are not being able to install drivers, and I would be happy to assist you!
The first suggestion I will make is to boot your computer in Safe Mode. To do this, please follow this document on Windows 7 Safe Mode. No extra software will be loaded, which will make this driver issue easier to troubleshoot. In Safe Mode, try to connect your external drive.
If you still cannot connect your external drive (or any other USB device), I recommend following this resource on Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7). This should help diagnose any potential hardware problems with the computer.
If you are not able to detect any hardware problems on your computer, please follow this document on Restore files from a backup.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I will diligently follow up with you!
Best regards

Touch Screen not working and whit error screen
Hi all...
My storm 2 is broken...
The touch screen has suddenly stopped working and everythime I boot the phone I get a white screen with various different errors and codes. Each time errors are different...
Im sure the phone is unrepairabl so I need to recover my BBM contacts... I've recovered my phonebook, music, pics, files etc from previous backups but I need my BBM contacts...
Any ideas on how to do this? If I can remote access the phone from my laptop I can do it but I don't know how...
Please help....
Cheers all in advanceDepending on the error you may or may not be able to recover the BBM Contacts.
Please provide an error that you are receiving on the device and see if we can help.
For the most part I would advise you that the BBM contacts are now lost if you have no previous backup with the contacts on them.
Regards,
Nick

Try:

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HP Pavilion 15-n241ca TouchSmart Notebook PC touch screen not working
I got this Notebook a couple of months ago at The Source in Alberta Canada. Worked fine for a week or so and then the touch screen began to stop working intermittently.
Once or twice it seemed that cleaning the (not dirty) screen helped but not anymore.
It has just stopped working completely for the past month or so.
I've tried glass cleaner on a napkin and on a microfiber cloth..all the way to the edges and nothing.
I've run all the troubleshooters, driver updates...everything is up to date and working properly or so they say.
HELP?????????
Thanks in advance
This question was solved.
View Solution.Thanks for the help. Wish I had asked sooner.
But...I went to the site's support chat and spoke to an HP service rep. He remotely diagnosed and tried to get mmy touch screen up and running but nothing would work. Ended up wiping my machine and trying from scratch. Still nothing.
My computer will be picked-up by UPS in a couple of days for a ride to the nearest service center. Evidently I'm having hardware problems.
So, my computer isnt working properly BUT HP's customer service sure is.
Everyone I spoke to there was just awesome and SO happy to help. Sounds like I'm being sarcastic but I'm NOT. First day was Gio(sp?) and yesterday it was Cory I believe the fellow's name was.
I'm in Canada, they are in the Philipines.
These guys were both so friendly and we chatted and laughed while we worked on my machine.
They felt like old friends.
Yesterday with Cory was hilarious.
He asks a few questions..in his professional voice...I let him know that the system restore didnt help and after a couple more questions he asked for my shipping address so that my notebook could be picked-up. I spell-out my street address and name of course...I tell him the Town, then the province (Alberta) and dude BUSTS-OUT a "CANADA!!!!! you're in CANADA!!!" YES! Yes I AM in Canada!!!
You see, here in Canada and especially in Alberta (80% of all the NEW jobs in Canada are created in ALBERTA) there is a SERIOUS labor shortage. We import a lot of workers and a LOT are Philipinos. Many are great friends of mine. I am a musician as are a LOT of Philipinos (they are kinda like Mexicans...somehow SO MANY of them are GREAT singers. Like I mean SCARY good singers...and I met and was good friends with a bunch of Philipino musicians back in the early/mid '90s called the Manilla Boys -Shout Out to Freddie and Oscar). and so ...I feel a kind of connection to the Philipines and it's people and obviously, a lot of Philipinos love Canada and Canadians.
WHY the rave about the Philipines? Well yes...I got a little sidetracked BUT...my POINT is that Westerners whine and complain about having to deal with any company's Customer Service centers. Sometimes justifiably so. You know, a lot of times you call to ask about an item and you're speaking to people in India (also have many Indian friends...this is NOT a bashing) or China or somewhere where they TRY to help but the language barrier is difficult to overcome. Tempers flare. People on both ends of the line or internet get frustrated....you know how it goes.
BUT...with HP, and I spoke to three different CS reps at LEAST, EVERYONE was VERY helpful. Everyone knew exactly what they were doing. They were patient. They were HAPPY. They spoke PERFECT English.
Were we able to get my machine...my touchscreen working again? Nope :-(
WILL my machine be working again soon? I hope so. MAYBE...IF the service center it goes to employs Philipino techs lol.
Like I told Gio, this is the FIRST factory built, name brand computer I've bought in over 10 years. My FIRST one was an Emachines and it worked flawlessly for YEARS. I just grew out of it. Since then I have been buying from small outfits or I have pieced-together my own machines.
I'm SO glad I chose an HP machine this time.
I didnt even need to produce a receipt (which I have and would have been able to). Gio remotely logged-into my notebook and find all the info he needed. There was one point where I said something like..."oh no. Well do you think maybe The Source has a replacement policy or something?" and Gio replied..."oh you don't have to worry about that. I see here that you have full warranty coverage (I did not purchase any extended warranties when I bought the notebook) until March of next year.
So again...my experience with HP's Customer Service was phenomenal EVERYtime I called or chatted with them. Gio performed every diagnostic test in the book. He uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. He troubleshot. He tried this and he tried that. He gave me GREAT instructions. We did a complete system restore.
Once that did not fix the problem they immediately sent me a UPS box to return my machine in. I didnt have to complain or argue or ask or demand. Once the restore didnt work THEIR next thing was to get my machine in for service.
Between you and me I'm hoping that there is something SERIOUSLY wrong and maybe they'll send me a NEW notebook and maybe it will be the next model UP! Yeah yeah I know...wishful thinking. But hey..my Son's iPod broke down a couple years ago and Apple (whos CS was ALSO amazing...at least it was a couple years ago) sent him a replacement. The NEXT generation of iPod!!
My Wife's Samsung Note 2 started dropping..well not receiving calls. Samsung had her send it to the nearest service center. It worked fine for a day and then started not receiving calls again. Samsung graciously (kind of) said...ok this ONE TIME ONLY we will send it to a service center AGAIN.
They did and it dint work..again. Clearly they were just doing a hard factory reset...which my Wife had already tried a bunch of times. She kinda gave-up on Samsung and said...you know...I think I'm gonna go back to Apple. Their CS was SO much BETTER than Samsung's.
But the next day (like 2 weeks ago) she spoke to Telus, her cell provider and explained that her phone wasnt working and that she has been a loyal Telus customer for decades. That her monthly bill (for 3 phones..mine, hers and our Son's) is like almost $200 (yeah we live in an isolated place). She said that when her contracts are fulfilled she will be going with a different (cheaper) provider and to a different phone. Btw...all 3 of us currently own Samsung droid phones.
Welllll...Telus took the wheel and said...Don't worry m'aam. There is no authorized service center in your town so just go back to where you purchased the Note2. We just called them and they are expecting you. They are ready to replace your phone. Just bring the Note2 in for a trade-in.
She goes to the store and they say...pick any new phone. It's on Telus.
They didnt have the S5 in stock but she prefers the larger notes anyway so she walked-out with a brand new Samsung Note3 :-)
The moral of the story is that these days most companies' Customer Service is VERY GOOD. HP is NO exception.
My HP hardware has some issues so I wouldnt be able to rate their products as EXCEPTIONAL but their CS? That is MORE than EXCEPTIONAL.
If YOU are in the market for a new computer, DONT HESITATE if an HP is in your sights. You are in GREAT hands with HP. I will recommend HP to EVERYONE.
My computer is not working properly. I will be without while it's away (it would be SUPER nice if they had a loaner policy but..hopefully turn-around time will be SHORT) but hopefully I wont be without for TOO long and who knows...MAYBE they will have to replace my whole notebook and if they do, maybe they'll upgrade me to the next model. Wishful thinking AGAIN I know but either way...I KNOW I'll have a properly working computer again before too long.
THANK YOU Hewlett Packard. And ESPECIALLY Thank You Gio!! And Cory too...AND the others whos names I dont recall because our time was very short.
I'm SO glad I chose HP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. I dont think I've ever been THIS glad to have a broken product. Lol.
Thank you for your replies and suggestions. I think this thread (without THIS lengthy post) will be helpful to many people who have touchscreen problems in the future. Let's just hope that "many people" wont NEED help and wont HAVE touchscreen issues. -

Touch Screen not working in Windows 8.1 HP Pavilion 23 TouchSmart
I've checked the device manager and the device seems to be working properly and have the latest driver installed.
However, in the Pen and Touch section, the Touch action is not able to be altered. It is set to Equivalent mouse action, but it is not doing that either. I can alter the Double-tap and the Press and hold.
I believe it stopped working after the last two updates.
This question was solved.
View Solution.I answered my own question. I did a complete shut down instead of a restart. When I started it up again after about 10 minutes, the touchscreen was back to working.

I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.
