Compatibility windows 7 and 8

Hello,
I need some advises from you Adobe professional users
I have and old desktop which I have to replace with a new one and I have a laptop.
Specs of the laptop are :
Acer Aspire 5810TG
Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU U9400 @ 1.40Ghz/1.40Ghz
4GB Ram memory
32 Bits
Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (think this is an OEM version as the product id mentions : xxxx-OEM-xxxxxxx-xxxxx)
The new Desktop will probably : Intel Core I7-3770. http://ark.intel.com/products/65719/ Under windows 8 - 64 bits
I have some Adobe programs : Adobe Web Standard C4, Photoshop CS5, Adobe Elements Photoshop 7, Adobe Elements Photoshop 8, Adobe Elements Premiere 8.
I don't know if I should upgrade my Laptop from Vista into Windows 7 or not, since here all programs do run smoothly. (I would just do it to take some programs for viewing HD recordings during holidays).
Question 1 : upgrade laptop or just go for the new Desktop.
Question 2 : Will the mentioned Adobe programs run under Windows 7 and Windows 8?
On the internet some say it is all working on both systems, some have a lot of problems and cannot run those any more.
Thanks already for your advise and information.
Martine
PS. Sorry fro the long topic and sorry that I put some other Adobe software in it. I just did it to avoid repeating the same message into the different forums. If I need to do so, let me know.

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for the reply and information. Yeah, I will keep the laptop with Vista. Indeed, when OS changes I get the creeps cause in the end you have to follow and there you are with all your programms left in the corner.
Beside CS5, do you think Adobe Web Standard C4, Adobe Elements Photoshop 7, Adobe Elements Photoshop 8, Adobe Elements Premiere 8 will work on Windows 8.
The new desktop has :
Product nummer : HPP62308
Processor : Intel Core i7-3770
Internal memory: 8 GB
Hard drive : 1,5 TB
Graphics : AMD Radeon HD7450 1GB
64Bit
Kind regards
Martine

Compatibility Windows 10 and SCCM 2012 R2

Hi,
Is SCCM 2012 R2 compatible with Windows 10?
Will we need to update MDT 2013 or if they will be a new version? What about USMT?
When may we expect to have a fully compatible solution for Windows 10?
Thanks,

Hi,
It is explained it this blog post
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2014/09/30/windows-10-enterprise-management-with-sc-configmgr-and-intune.aspx
I haven't seen any offical statement of how long after Windows 10 is released in RTM that these products will be released as well, as we are getting closer more information will come I assume.
And USMT is included in ADK preview that is available here:http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45522
If windows 10 is compatable with SCCM 2012 R2, I would say yes it works is it supported no, as Windows 10 isn't released.

Windows 8 and itunes 11 compatibility with an ipod

I have itunes11 and Windows 8. I've called Apple and I've talked to Microsoft. This was months ago. I can download itunes and run it from my laptop but am unable to sync my ipod. I get an error and it automatically reboots my computer. I was told there were known compatibility with itunes and Windows 8. This was months ago.
I know how to downgrade itunes to XP or Win 7. This is not the issue. I can download to my laptop and place, it will not sync to my ipod device (which is a fear years old), but when I did talk to support I was told that it was supported. The ipod was not the issue.. It was the incompatibility between the programs.
I see recent updates in the support community in the past month about production resolution but this still has not resolved my issue. I don't believe purchasing a new ipod is going to resolve the issue either.
If anyone has successfully developed a workaround or recently downloaded itunes11 w/ Windows 8 and can sync to an apple ipod I would love to know how you did it.

Im not sure that will solve the issue I have with itunes. I have a lenovo laptop and I think it's just an issue with Apple who has to modify the program for users of Windows 8 so that itunes can be used and to find purchased music. I found the music I purchased through itunes but it's not the full tracks. It said it allows me to download it fully so I can hear the whole track, but needs some kind of capatibility? I have no idea what the problem is. If someone has the answer knowing my computer brand and having windows 8 compatibility issues, please let me know what you suggest.

Compatability issues with Windows 7 and Ipod Classic initially set-up w/ XP

When I opened my iTunes account for my iPod Classic 2 years ago, I was using Windows XP and could download from iTunes Store or load my own CDs and then sync to my iPod. Long story short: That computer crashed. I now use Windows 7 on both my new computers but while I can review the contents of my Classic, itTunes won't play any of the tracks when connected to my computer's USB. Nor can I sync purchases or downloads. Incidentally, attempts to review my Ipod in "computer" doesn't consistently show my iPod either. I continually receive the same message telling me that "iTunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows. For best results, turn off compatibility mode for iTunes before opening." I right clicked on iTunes, regarding compatibility, but it informs me that there are no previous versions available to do this. My warranty for technical or phone support has expired, so I am unable to speak to a representative. It sounds like other people are having similar problems with the newest version 11.1 of iTunes. Has anyone worked their way around this?

Hi anne274,
I'm sorry to hear about your Dad.
Since the music was originally ripped from CD, you should be able to put the iPod into disk mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 and transfer the music into your library without loosing anything.

Windows 8 and Apple product compatibility

Good Morning,
The other day, I went to purchase a new Windows-based computer at a non-Apple retail store. I would purchase a Macbook, but budget limitations. When I asked what Windows computer would be best for basic usage (managing IPOD, managing IPADs, managing music, and basic computing), I was told that Windows 8 is not compatible with Apple products. The retail personnel said that he had numerous returns of products because their Iproducts were not syncing (in fact he returned his computer). I have researched the communities and found that there are numerous solutions and reasons for the problem, but the variation in the answers leads me to think that the core issue has not been addressed.
Question:
1. Has the compatibility issues between Windows 8 and Iproducts been corrected? If not, is there any news of the compatibility being addressed in a future release?
2. What is the exact problem and how can it be corrected if I do purchase a new Windows computer?
Thanks,
Brian

It works for some and not for others.
At this time, there is no publicly available version of iTunes that is supported on Windows 8.
Only Apple knows when that will change.

I am a novice. I have a few thousand iPhotos stored on Dropbox. But now I have a Canon T5i camera and want to get more involved in photography. I want to open a Lightroom and Photoshop account. I have a Windows desktop and an iPad. Will I have any compatibility issues with PC and Mac? Can I store my photos in Lightroom and eliminate my Dropbox account? Thanks.

You shouldn't have any compatibility issues. But you don't store images "in" Lightroom. Lightroom simply points to wherever the images are on your system. You might like to watch a few videos that can help you understand how Lightroom works.

Creative suite 4 and 5.5 compatable with Windows 8 and Office 2013?

We have both Creative Suite 4 and a few CS5.5. One classroom will be moving to Windows 8 and Office 2013 this Summer term. Will either of these suites work or will we need to upgrade to CS6?

The only honest answer: You won't know until you try. Generally they will/ should be compatible, but you may require dealing with legacy issues like printer compatibility or thne installer not finding specific folders as well as al lthe usual - security stuff, user privileges, network stuff in shared environements. you would face some of those issues even with CS6 or CC, so it's irrelevant to get a new version until there are real hard reasons beyond these issues. They can all be resolved, it may just take some fiddling and lots of patience.

Photoshop CS5 compatibility with windows 7 and windows 8

Hello,
I do not understand the technical side of computers - I just use them for my work as a photographer
I have Photoshop CS5 32 bit installed on my PC with Vista home premium. I am buying a new PC with 64 bit Windows 7 installed, and it also has the option to upgrade for free to Windows 8 pro.
Will my CS5 work on windows 7 and if I take the free upgrade will it work on Windows 8 pro?
Does it matter that CS5 is 32 bit and the new PC will be 64 bit?
I don't want to get the free upgrade if it means my CS5 won't work on it, as I am happy wioth CS5 and do not need to upgrade to CS6 yet.
Many thanks
Tog Porter

Photoshop CS5 is a 32/64 bit application, so when you install it on your new system it will install both 32 and 64 bit versions by default. This will give you compatibility with your 32 bit plug-ins, as well as 64 bit capability to edit large documents.
You may want to avoid the upgrade to Windows 8 at this time. It's still immature and the drivers (e.g., for ATI video cards) leave something to be desired. Plus, in general Windows 8 doesn't offer any compelling new features over Windows 7 (and actually removes some very useful one) - unless you really want the silly full-screen Metro/Modern games they offer at their new App Store.
If you DO decide to install the Windows 8 upgrade, I recommend you take whatever steps are necessary to install the new system as a full, virgin installation, rather than trying to upgrade the Windows 7 system you already have installed - and by this I mean you should NOT take the "keep programs and settings" upgrade, but do a Custom installation and install Windows 8 as though on a blank disk. Operating systems installed as upgrades to prior versions virtually never work right.
In any case, after having run Photoshop on Windows 7 for a while, you'll want to DEactivate your Adobe software before making the transition (you can do this through the Help menu), then reactivate it after you're up on the new system. This keeps control of your activation/licensing in your hand.
I strongly suggest you read up on Windows 8 before deciding to upgrade. You'll find a lot of experts agree that it's not an improvement over Windows 7, which is hard to imagine because all prior versions - even Vista - have been improvements over their predecessors.

When will Windows 7 and IE 8 compatability roll out?

If you look at this thread 'Xcelsius 2008 Fix Pack 3.1 (FP3.1) is now available' there is a "upcoming major Xcelsius release" mentioned but no dates or timelines. When is this going to happen and will Windows 7 compatability be part of that release? I have customers right now that want to know, if they integrate some Xelcius dashboards into our web application, will this work in Windows 7 and IE 8.
I also noticed the expiration notice on 2008 Engage Server going away. I have Xcelsius 2008 Engage (not the server version). What is the estimated life cycle on it in light of the Server version going away next year.
P.S. I am aware of the XP compatability mode in Windows 7 but I have a hard time believing SAP would consider that a permanent solution.

Hi Matt,
I understand you can't give any detailed timelines yet, as I can only assume you guys are still early in the development cycle for some of the fixes and updates required for Windows 7 and IE 8 compatibility. My problem is I have customers that want a reporting solution integrated into the web application my company provides as a product. We want to sell them on the idea of buying Xcelsius licenses and developing their own metrics reports that would seamlessly integrate with our application and we provide an API for them to do that right now. It becomes a pretty tough sell when they ask about Windows 7 and IE 8 compatibility and I can't really tell them anything definitive other then "I think SAP is working on that?". Its not like were talking about an obscure OS and browser, this is Microsoft after all and its my understanding they have a bit of a following . I would, at the very least, like to be able to confidently tell my customers that SAP is commited to making sure Xcelsius 2008 Engage (or what ever the next version name is ) will be fully compatible with Windows 7 and IE 8 and that the long term plan is the end of this year? middle of next year? some other non-ridiculous time frame so I can assure them its not a waste of time waiting for this product to be updated?
You mentioned any SWF files we create (at least it was implied) should run as long as Flash Player 9 or later is installed? Is that truly the case? The reason I ask is the Adobe web site says the Flash Player 10 is compatible with both Windows 7 and IE8. Is the only issue driving this compatability problem the version of the Flash Player installed, or are there still some pieces of Xcelsius that need to be rewritten to accomodate Windows 7 and IE8 regardless of what version of Flash Player is resident? Bottom line is what can I tell my customers to reassure them this is the correct path forward for their reporting needs?
Thanks,
Matt

Windows Vista and Framework 4.5.1 compatibility with TLSv1.2

Windows Vista OS by default does not come with TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2. However the support is offered by installing .NET Framework 4.5.1.
I have a c# Winforms application using .NET Framework 4.5.1. I use ServicePointManager to default the TLS level to TLSv1.2. This works fine on Windows 7 and above.
Running my app gives the following error:

Is there a fixpack orsomething i need to install?
I am using Windows Vista Business 32bit Service Pack 2.
Thanks for the help

Those two updates went away. The update history does not show them having succeeded in installing. They are just gone. But a new .Net update shows up in Windows Update: KB2858725. It also fails to install with error code 641.
I tried running it manually (I'm trying to paste the whole file name here, but all that shows up is ENU.exe. Seriously!? What the fuck!?) and that fails. "Installation did not succeed. .Net framework 4.5.1 has not been installed because: the windows
installer service could not be accessed." A dialog comes up that has a link to a log file, but clicking it does nothing.
I tried following the suggestions in
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/need-to-reinstall-windows-installer-in-windows-7/4cb8e54c-5a4e-439d-9d46-1dcd387d2604
I tried running sfc /scannow. It returned message:
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 18% complete.
Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.
The other changes didn't apply except unregistering and reregistering the Windows Installer. None of that made any difference.
Today, an update to Windows Activation Technologies showed up: KB971033. I tried to install that and it says that it succeeded.
KB2858725 still fails.
Here's a link to the part of my WindowsUpdate.log file after I tried to run the update of KB2858725 once again from Windows Update:

Compatibility between windows 8 and apple networks?

Hi,
I have a apple network set up at my parent's house that has worked marvelously for the past years. THe network has a time capsule and two airport express. Unfortunately not everyone at my house is an apple user, and my stepdad just got a new HP laptop with Windows 8 and it doesn't seem to be connecting properly to the wifi network.
ANy idea why this is? is it a problem with the firmware? windows 8? the airports? the time capsule?
Thanks!

Windows does not handle the names that apple tends to default to.. so make sure all names are..
short.. 10-20 characters
no spaces.. they are not valid in windows networking
pure alphanumeric.. the apple default is to use apostrophe.. not at all liked by windows.
That unfortunately means a full reset of the whole system if it is non-compliant.
A different solution is to simply buy a cheap wireless router.. say TP-Link WDR3600, which is about $80 here.. and probably cheaper in US.. or even cheaper model, like 1043ND.. which is about $50 and run it as AP only plugged into the TC by ethernet.
