    Likely because it's a not self contained and/or it's game and copy protected, so install it via the developers instructions instead, which likely means it will have ot be uninstalled off the first machine, the developer contacted for a new license key before installing on the newer machine.
    If you want it on both machines, you will need to likely buy another license.
    Most developers are fine with transfering license between machines, you have to contact them.
    They just want to make sure it's only on one machine so they are not getting robbed.

  • I Am Having Trouble With Mozilla Firefox. For Some Reason I Can Not Type Any Thing In

    I Am Having Trouble With Mozilla Firefox. For Some Reason I Can Not Type Any Thing In. I Can Not Type Anything Into Yahoo Search Or Any Where I Need A Password. Anytime I Try To Type Anythink In It Locks Up Firefox The Same With Thunderbird Can't Write An Email Thunderbird Locks Up When I Start Typing. My Roboform Will No Longer Fill In The Forms. I Have Uninstalled All Three Programs Three Times. Can You Give Any Help.
    Thank You

    Hi,
    Sounds like you have two problems there. One for Firefox and one for Thunderbird.
    We can help you with the Firefox question but your other Thunderbird question will have to go into the Thunderbird queue. You can create a new Thunderbird question by going to [/questions/new/thunderbird]
    Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
    *'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
    *'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
    If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

  • Migrating to new macbook air with Lion, entourage 2008 doesn't work

    I  bought a new macbook air with lion installed. trying to migrate data from my old macbook with snow leopard. Got most data across, and installed my most frequently used applications:
    - office 2008: most office apps 2008 work, if buggily. entourage not, see below.
    - firefox (hangs up when downloading updates)
    - dropbox (ditto)
    <these two problems may have something to do with internet proxy settings, will try to sort that out later>
    MAIN ISSUE:
    entourage wont open at all.  so for now i'm using my old comp for e-mail and the new for the rest.
    MY OPTIONS:
    please advise (1) what you think is the most time & nerve-saving option (2) how to do it smoothly:
    A) try to get office 2008 to work.
    when trying to open entourage, it tells me this version (office 2008 12.0) cannot open this entourage database (12.3)
    error for other apps says there is a problem with database, and rebuilding several times did not fix it.
    would have to start with updating to the version i used last (office 2008 12.3). Problem is the ms office updater does not seem to work on lion. the first update does not open, says it does not support powermac.
    B) buying office 2011, and migrating entourage 2008 to outlook.
    I suppose the best way to do this is to install office 2011 on the old mac first, then on the new one, then move database, right?
    C) migrating from entourage 2008 to lion mail.
    best way to do this would be to import entourage email to leopard mail, then move those files to the new mac?  and move entourage addresses into the mac addressbook. my major concern is that i have a lot of mailing rules, and a fair bunch of notes. a lot. i;d rather not have to recreate those by hand. Is there a way to import rules from entourage to mail?
    i also habe a huge backstock of mail, over 10,000, and a correspondigly huge addressbook (within entourage). i'm ready to abandon entourage at last (though i used it for a decade), but i want to have my addresses, my rules, and at least the last 3 yrs of emails. i get about 130 mails a day so i need plenty of automatic organizing capability.
    i never had issues  my old mac/snow leopard, i just ran out of ram and the one usb broke, so i figured it's time. kinda sorry i did not just get the usb repaired and extra ram. what a hassle these migrations always are.
    cheers!

    Yes, repairing first is a sound idea. In my experience I've only moved from Entourage to the OS X applications or from one version of Entourage to another. In the latter I've been able to just copy over the Microsoft User Data folder. But I have not used Entourage for quite some time.
    Microsoft don't make it quite that easy to migrate to their own applications, but the import from a 'tidy' .rge file works well, I had a lot of issues with the first few I migrated but after performing a database repair prior to import all proceeded smoothly.

  • Setting windows mail as default "Mail To" doesn't work as usual. Opens entire windows mail vs. email new email message with subject and URL inserted

  • Using Windows 7 x64. Firefox 3.6 works but won't open any windows. Only can see the windows in the toolbar to know that the software is working. tried reinstalls, and different loading spots in the computer, all to no avail. Have given up.

    I also returned computer to earlier setting, to no avail. Safe boot didn't work either.
    addition problem with Mozilla is that it would often take many reloads to get a site to open.

    I have my HP 855c/driver working on Win 7 Ultimate x64. I used the 'printui /s' procedure and 4 files described above with some minor changes.
    I pulled WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe down from the Microsoft website. Running the file causes the exe to unpack into a temp folder at the root drive. A 'Setup Error' message box is displayed once the file is run. I left this
    message box up until I copied ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, and sp2.cab from the temp folder.
    I copied driver.cab from a Windows XP Pro disc. I also needed amd64\stdnames.gpd which was already in my Windows 7 c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 folder.  
    I created a folder with the 5 files (ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, sp2.cab, driver.cab, and amd64\stdnames.gpd). This is my 'Have Disc' folder. 
    I followed the 'printui /s' instructions, first changing the permissions mentioned above and then installing the driver. Next I followed the instructions to add a printer from Control Panel 'Devices and Printers' - 'Add Printer', choosing to 'use an existing
    driver' when installing the HP 855c.
    I used a slightly different ntprint.inf, size 1570418. The readable contents of ntprint.inf is as follows. Notice the line 'CatalogFile=ntprint.cat' is not included. I tried using the 1570468 version of ntprint.inf; when I did I received an incompatibility
    message (probably the same one mentioned above).

  • I have a trouble with the clipboard inside an applet

    I have created simple text editor as applet (by JTextPane). I have a trouble with the clipboard. The clipboard works correctly inside the applet, but I'm not able to paste text from outside text editors (e.g. notepad). But I found out that clipboard works correctly inside appletviewer.
    You can visit the applet on: http://www.newlink.be/abst/
    Please help
    P.S.: I'm sorry for my bad english

    This is because applets do not have access to the system clipboard by default. The only way to get around this is to make a signed applet.

  • Suddenly my pages reverted to '09 version and won't open my docs, saying "you need to download the new Pages". I go to the store and it says I already have it downloaded. Weird. Can't open any of my docs now.

    For no apparent reason, my pages documents will no longer open. I get an error message "You need a newer version of pages to open this". They tell me to go to the app store to buy it. The thing is, I do have the newest version of pages. It confirms it in the store. So now I have this mystery and can't find my newer version and can't open any of my documents which is very problematic, let me say. Any ideas? Thanks much.

    The previous version, is not deleted when Pages 5 is installed, just moved to Applications/iWork folder.
    The icons on the dock remain.
    Have you actually looked in your Applications folder for the new version?
    Any documents created by Pages 5 need to be opened by Pages 5.

    If you are saying that after signing into iCloud it is telling you device is not found, it could be for any number of reasons. If the battery is dead, if the SIM has been removed, or if someone else has the phone and they have restored it, it will not be shown. Also, if you located it once and then sent a remote wipe, it disables the abililty to locate the phone with Find My iPhone.

  • How do I return to OSX 10.7.3 after update. I´ve  have  only troubles with 10.7.4 update

    How do I return to OSX 10.7.3 after update. I´ve  have  only troubles with 10.7.4 update

    You can only "downgrade" if you wipe (erase) your hard drive. So, if you made a bootable clone or have an up to date Time Machine backup with 10.7.3, you can boot from the bootable clone, erase the internal drive, and clone your old system back. Not 100% sure about the steps using Time Machine since I don't use it,but there are excellent articles available which I can link to.
    As far as I know, the problem with installing an earlier version would be that once you check Software Update, you can no longer choose to download a Combo update of a different/earlier version since Lion is only available through MAS. So, if you check it, it will most likely only offer you the current/latest version.

  • I have had trouble with scrollbars using netbeans 5.5.1

    I have had trouble getting a vertical and horizontal scrollbar working in my GUI. I am new to programming but I have books but I find them difficult to follow because they follow the old netbeans GUI models that requires all of the code to be written for example the scrollbar has to be created and then the parameters have to be set. However with the 5.5.1 the scrollbar has already been created and the parameters of the maximum the minimum and the event have already been set.
    Therefore when you follow the books they explain the whole process rather than the last part which is all that is needed. I have selected the scrollbar and then pressed the right mouse button to get the menu up where I selected Events and then Adjustments, which then displayed the following script,
    " private void jScrollBar1AdjustmentValueChanged(java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent evt) {
    // TODO add your handling code here:"
    I know that I have to delete the //TODO add your handling code here and then insert the event handling code. I have tried to put in a lot of different event handler codes to try to get it to work but I have had no luck. Can anybody help. I have asked a few people but they have had trouble with it too.

    Please can somebody provide me with a scirpt example.
    I would really appreciate it.This was not made in Netbeans but it shows you how to use scrollpanes with a viewportview and listeners.
