Advice on upgrading to 10.5, & windows compatibility

I am just getting used to my iMac, and my problem is I'm going Virtual PA home-based and need advice on what software to use to be compatible to all computer users, (etc windows XP, 98, Vista) and also on voice digital transcription, sorry for being a bore.

Well... I went ahead and took the plunge and everything appears to be working fine... if anyone's interested...

Windows 10 upgrade on Ideapad Y460p and compatibility issues

Hello World, After getting an upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on my Y460p, following features are not working - Slide NavVolume sensorsMute ButtonLenovo one key theatre Trackpad's scrolling (vertical)It seems like all the "non-key" features have been stopped. Whereas the same features (E.g volume adjustment) using keys are running fine. I first thought may be Windows 10 messed up the installations of those softwares, although all other things in my laptop was fine. I uninstalled and reinstalled few of the drivers for above features from my backup but still no worky. Im lacking idea on this ideapad. Pallav

I also upgraded my Y460p to Windows 10. Features 1 - 4 on your list are now not working. My trackpad's scrolling is working well as before. Did you check Synaptics settings? All the features on the list are apparently related to Synaptics trackpad driver. The new Synaptics trackpad driver installed by Windows 10 doesn't have any clue about the SlideNav and buttons on top of the keyboard on Y460p. Specifically it lacks a program named SynBtnAsst.exe which seems used to recognize SlideNav and extra buttons. I reverted my Synaptics driver to the one for Y460p. Now when I slide a finger along the SlideNav bar, the mouse pointer moves with it. Tapping on the SlideNav bar has the same effect as tapping on the trackpad. So I think the Synaptics driver for Y460p restored its abiliy to recognize SlideNav and buttons, but we still need updated SlideNav and other software to fully restore its functionalities. Since Y460p is an old model, I kind of exepext Lenovo will not release updated software for it any time soon or at all.

Hello, I was trying to upgrade my iTunes for windows 7 PC, but because of invalid signature error I removed iTunes as well as all apple related applications. While reinstalling it , When I click link to install iTunes it immediately says '' thank you

Hello, I was trying to upgrade my iTunes for windows 7 PC, but because of invalid signature error I removed iTunes as well as all apple related applications. While reinstalling it , When I click link to install iTunes it immediately says '' thank you for downloading iTunes'' but I don't find it in my system.
I have tried all suggested option to solve it but all in vain. Please help me to get rid of this problem

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Upgraded from vista to windows 7 not seeing music list

I upgraded from vista to windows 7. When I sync my iPhone 4 I am not seeing my music listed nor my apps in the list. I had backed up my entire computer to my external hard drive and copied everything over to iTunes. But not showing up in any lists when I connect my phone???? Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm am used to working on Mac's but u don't think my advice will hurt.
iTunes reads your hard drive for songs and compiles a song list for them.
It then stores this data as your ituneslibrary.plist file.
In the file drop down menu you should have an option to select library.
Try reelecting your iTunes library icon and then it should reload your iTunes with playlists and play counts etc

Upgrading 500-100a to windows 8.1

Hi
Been trying for almost a week to upgrade my 2 WEEK OLD Hp 500-100a to windows 8.1
Ran the compatability assistant, and it identified no problems to upgrade.
Have tried at least once per day, but it stalls on reload and I get the blue 'frown face error page' and then a restart, followed by it resoring the previous version of windows.
The error message numbers are:
OXC1900101 and OX40017
Personally, I can believe that a 2 week old PC would not have it pre installed, and there isn't a fix for it.
The Ralink WIFI has been removed, still the same issue.

Hi Metro09,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I have read your post on attempting to upgrade your desktop to Windows 8.1 without success, and I would be happy to assist you!
To begin, I recommend refreshing your computer to its earliest state. To do this, please follow this document on How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC. Once this is complete, please perform all of the important Windows Updates. This should help get your computer ready for the 8.1 update.
The next step I suggest will be to run the Windows 8.1 Update Troubleshooter, as this will identify some of the problems that might be preventing you from updating to Windows 8.1.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!
Have a great weekend!

How can I perform an "in-place upgrade" on an unbootable Windows 7 machine or at least rebuild Safe Mode?

Some strange glitch has erased every single unlocked & unprotected file on my C: drive. It wasn't a virus because I checked autorun records and running processes using the respective Sysinternals utilities and didn't find anything suspicious.
I restored all data except for some system files and files that had "too long" of a path using shadow copies, which luckily for me were just a few hours old. Then, I decided to reboot into Recovery Environment and run System Restore from there. For even
more strange reason, the available restore points in RE were dated November 2010 (it's May 2012 right now) and the recent save dates are nowhere to be found.
To make matters worse, SFC doesn't work and Safe Mode shows BSOD after loading CLASSPNP.SYS.
Error messages so far:
RE's startup repair tool: System files integrity check and repair error code 0x2
SFC: Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation
BSOD: 0x7B (0xFFFFF880009A9928, 0XFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0, 0x0), but the HDD is perfectly fine - it's a dual-boot machine
CBS.log: Failed to get CSI store. [HRESULT = 0x80073712 - ERROR_SXS_COMPONENT_STORE_CORRUPT]
What I need is a way to perform either an in-place upgrade without booting into Windows, or a way to fix the SXS Component Store, or rebuild the Safe Mode so that I could initiate upgrade install from there. A clean install isn't an option because I don't
have the luxury of time to run through the reboot cycles when re-installing and updating other software (I'm using Windows 8 CP for now as my work tools are mostly in the cloud).

It is not possible to do a repair install of a system unless you can boot to the system.
Have you checked the hard drive for problems? - download the manufacturer's test utility, create the disk, and run the extended checks.

I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 and now I tunes is empty and when I try to sync my Iphone4 or IPod, it states they belong to another ITunes Library. How do I sync all my content, including Apps to my computer again or get my old Itunes library back?

To all:
I recently upgraded my computer from Windows XP to Windows 7. Now my Itunes library is no longer available? When I try to sync my IPod or Iphone 4 to ITunes, it states that the content on my devices belong to another Itunes Library and do I want to transfer purchases, erase etc?
How do I get my old Itunes Library back? Some of my music are from CD's I own and really don't want to start the years of building my Itunes library all over again?
How do I bring all the contents: contacts, music, apps etc from my Iphone4 back to Itunes?
Confused.

The ipod/iphone/ipad are not backup sotrage devices.
Certainly you did not upgrade your computer without making sure that your backup copy of your computer was up to date. Just use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

Upgrading my PC from windows 8.0 to 8.1, I accepted to use Skydrive as Cloud. Now I have lost my ICloud calendar sync with my iphone and iPad which appears no more in Outlook. I can access calendar on my PC through iCloud app but not printable. HELP!

My iphone and ipad are stil synchronized but Calendar does not sync with Outlook since I upgraded the PC to windows 8.1
You may answer in English, Italian or French...
Thanks for Help!!!

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

Upgrade of Integation Services (Windows 2012 R2) on Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG fails

Here is the scenario:
Legacy Host: Windows 2008 R2
Guest VM: Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG cluster.
After importing the VM (2008 R2 and Exchange 2013 DAG) into a 2012 R2 host (Cluster). (copy VM files to new 2012 R2host) Everything works fine.
Then upgrading "Installation Services" (for Windows 2012 R2 host) on the imported VM runs fine with no errors to the "Restart" prompt. VM than shows: "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn
of your computer." Hangs there for about 20 minutes until is says "shutting down". Hangs there for 20 minutes until power off. Restart to normal start; "Preparing to configure Windows. Do not turnoff your computer." proceeds slowly
to "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." hangs there again indefinite. Sometime hangs at shutdown cycle and "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." indefinitely.
I moved 20 other machines from a 2008 R2 host to new Windows 2012 R2 hosts all of these machines install the 2012 R2 Integration services just fine on the 2008 R2 VM. Just the 2008 R2 VMs clustered (DAG) and Exchange 2013 SP1 do not take the Integration
Services upgrade.
Any advise from Microsoft? I know I could decommission the DAG and Exchange machines and install Integration services on the native box before Exchange and DAG and that would sure work, but I'd rather avoid that amount of work for a simple integration layer
upgrade.
Thanks

How can I upgrade my Skype in windows 7

Windows Firewall won't block installations. You can use group policy, check out Using Software Restriction Policies to Protect Against Unauthorized Software
As well, as a security best practice users who should not be allowed to install applications should not be members of the Power Users or Administrators local machine groups. As members only of the Users local machine group they do not have permission to
install applications.

HP not honoring free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

When I purchased my machine in February 09 with Vista home edition I was promised on the web site and by the sales clerk that I would receive a free upgrade to Windows 7. Now I am told that only machines purchased after June 09 will qualify. I am furious and will not settle for this. Does anyone else have this issue.

Look you might have understood them wrong or you're saying something that they didn't say. They might have told you that there is going to be a free upgrade program for Windows 7 closer to when Windows 7 launches and thought you could get it when you bought it or you just want to accuse HP that they said that you would have the W7 Upgrade for free so you can get the upgrade. You should have looked for an official confirmation from Microsoft for the free upgrade from vista to W7, http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/06/25/announcing-the-windows-7-upgrade-option-program-amp-windows-7-pricing-bring-on-ga.aspx This link was released on June 25, 2009 and officially says that the free upgrade program was going to start on June 26, 2009 and this is directly form the Windows Blog. You made a mistake of listening to people and not looking for the official Microsoft Announcement. Your out of luck. Microsoft did this with xp to vista when vista came out and it was around the same months as vista to W7, so you should have also looked for past free upgrade. On February, Windows 7 date hasn't even been announced and the beta was still in progress as posted here on February 2009 http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/01/23/general-availability-for-the-windows-7-beta-to-end.aspx So this goes back to the top, you should have looked at past free upgrades like xp to vista to check how many months before they will start the free upgrade program.

Satellite P200-17C - Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

Am looking to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, anybody done this? And was thier any problems with drivers etc?
Thanks

Hi
I dont know what you want to hear now exactly but you can download all drivers here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
As far as I know this P200 model belongs to the PSPB6 series.
Therefore it seems that all drivers available for Windows 7 32bit.
Generally about Vista and Windows 7 I can say that new OS runs much faster and never had a problem as yet. I can recommend it! :)

How to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7?

I recently bought the upgrade version of Windows 7 utimate for my laptop, my laptop is new and Windows Vista pre-installed. I would like to know if I upgrade Windows 7 from this "Fresh", pre-installed vista, would this Windows 7 operate as good as the clean installed Windows 7?
I am not very clear how Vista upgrades to Windows 7, do Windows 7 upgrades based on the old Vista system? Or it will install a clean and new Windows 7 then only copy all the settings and programmes from old Vista?

Hi
Can you please tell us what Toshiba notebook you have exactly and what Vista version you have exactly (Home, Business, etc. and 32bit/64bit)?
Theoretically you can upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 but it must be same version. That means its only possible to upgrade from 32bit to 32bit and 64bit to 64bit.
If you want to upgrade you have to insert this disc and follow the screen instructions, thats all.
