Cannot install LR5 due to not having Windows 7.

I purchased an update of LR5 and cannot load it because I do not have Windows 7. Is there anything I can do other than buying a new computer?

From what I conclude, it is not an upgrade to 4.4, but a stand alone program that all of a sudden needs windows 7, which I do not have. After downloading windows 7 test program to see if I can have windows 7 and it's compatibility, it turns out my machine is not compatible or many issues with warning symbols. I am in the process of purchasing a new laptop with 12GB ram and 1TB hard drive, windows 8, with NVIDIA G Force video card just so I can play with LR5. All I am saying is, if it's an upgrade, fine, don't change the operating system requirements. Make it a stand alone program. Then, previous owners of LRxx have the option of buying LR5 at a reduced rate rather than paying full price. Then everyone is aware of the incompatibilities.
Thx for listening to my rant and I appreciate Adobe to offer to repurchase the software. I just hope I can re-load LR4.4 on this new laptop and accept LR5 without having to pay again for LR4.4.

You're welcome Rémi,
Unfortunately, purchasing software, much like anything else you buy online, is pretty much on the buyer to beware.  The vendor cannot know the intended use, whether the software is being purchased for the machine at hand, or another machine, or as a gift for someone else.  They provide a list of system requirements in the product pages but don't intrude into your machine to determine whether or not it is a suitable match.
It looks like Jeff might have provided a reasonable recourse for you.  Hopefully you won't run into a problem there.

    You can not download items from the internet with an ipad, you can download from the app store or from itunes or some cloud services (dropbox) but not from browsers, there is an Iphone app for we transfer in the app store that appears that it can be used on an ipad as well.

  • Safari cannot install profile due to unknown error

    hello
    I was browsing a couple of sites today, and during browsing, i received a message saying "safari cannot install profile due to unknown error" , i am not to sure which of the sites gave this message, and browsing over them again does not give this message. I am using an iPad 2 16gb wifi. when going to General -> Settings , i dont have a profiles tab, so am not sure what profile it was trying to load. i also have nothing changed in my settings that i can see, should i be worried, that there is some spyware or malware loaded?. can an ipad get any kind of bad things through a profile install?. i have looked online but cannot see an answer.

    I cannot install iTunes.  I get a Windows Error 126 and missing msvcr80.dll.  I've tried uninstalling and re-installing based on all the suggestions, but still have an issue.  I've removed all the services, tried moving the dll files as suggested, but I still have no success.  Spent all day on this issue.  I am running windows 7.

  • Does not having windows xp keep your pc from communicating with an apple airport express base station?

    Does not having windows xp keep your pc from communication with an apple airport base station?

    It say's this on the main Apple Website:
    Support for WPA requires Mac OS X v10.3 or later.  Use of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) reduces the maximum number of network users. When joining an existing wireless network, AirPort Express supports only WPA-Personal. WPA2 requires a Mac computer with an AirPort Extreme Card and Mac OS X v10.3 or later.
    So it has to be on WPA-Personal.
    The Airport Utility should tell you what is wrong with it when it is orange.
    Also, is it running on the same channel? For instance, are they both running on channel 1? Are you extending a network, or creating a network?
    Hope that brain snap just puts everything together.

    I cannot install iTunes 10.6.3 on Windows7 (64 bit). I keep getting the following message: "The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer program." Anybody have a solution?

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Cannot install iTunes or Safari on my Windows 7 pc

    I ran my recovery discs in my Windows 7 pc today. Hence, iTunes was removed. I cannot reinstall iTunes. I read something about its may having to do something with the type of browser that you use to download iTunes. I used Google Chrome and Internet explorer. I tried saving the installer as an application on my desktop and tried to install from the app. I then tried to download Safari, thinking that might help. However, Safari will not work either. I received two error messages:
    1. I might not have product eligiblity or authority or authorization ...something like that
    2. Something about not having Apple support applications
    3. A third thing that was in computerese hyroglyphics
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • I cannot install itunes 10.5.1 on windows XP.

    It gets about 3/4 way through installing then says there has been an error try downloading manually, which i do and the same error message appears.
    I have been trying to get this downloaded for ages now, and have trawlled through these discussion threads and tried everything people are recommending.
    I have not yet uninstalled itunes because I am worried if I do I will lose all of my music pics etc.
    If this is not the case then I'll try that as my next port of call

    I had a problem installing latest vertion of Itunes "10.5. blabla". It took me a while. Now I was able to uninstall. I had to do repair on Apple update for it to uninstall. Before I did the repair I got the same error message as when I tried to intall the latest version of Itunes. I'm going to try to install everything again.
    More or less these are the symptoms of issue:
    1)Dell XPS L702X, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2820QM CPU @2.30GHz, 8gb ram, 64bit,
    2) I don't use the PC, my Wife does, I'm the only one that is the administrator, Is being about 6-8 months since I last installed the itunes
    3) I have an iphone and I tried to update both the PC and the phone
    4) Got the following message "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel package vendor"
    5)I tried many things, I got instructions on how to uninstall itunes completely,
            A. Itunes uninstalled with no issue
            B. Quicktime uninstalled with no issue
            C. Apple Software Update COULD NOT UNINSTALL, got same error as 4) above
            D. Apple Mobile Device Supporet uninstalled no issue
            E. Bonjour uninstalled with no issues
            F. Apple Application Support uninstalled no issues
    6) Then I read on a thread to go to control panel, remove programs, find the name of the program, right click, then click repair. I did this and then the software C uninstalled succesfully.
    Now I'm going to try to reinstall the entire Itunes software and see if it works now.
