Created a working Windows To Go flashdrive but it won't accept my paid-for Windows 8 license key

I created a Windows To Go flash drive using 64-bit Windows 8.1. It boots and works perfectly except that I cannot activate it with the license key I got when I paid for Windows 8 last summer (I bought the digital download, ordered the
optional disc, and carefully recorded the license key Microsoft e-mailed me).
I noticed that the "build" of the Windows To Go flash drive states "Windows 8 PRO," not Windows 8 or 8.1. Did I screw up and not install the right version of Windows to the drive? Is Windows To Go only for the PRO version of Windows 8
and not the regular version? I only worked on this as an experiment to see if I could boot Windows 8 on our work PC's (which are sadly still running XP), and I am so close! Where did I go wrong?

Windows 8 PRO is Enterprise Edition? Official Windows to go only with Windows 8/8.1 Enterprise Edition. However, if you have no Enterprise Edition, you can try Aomei Partition Assistant and its new function "windows to go creator"

Hi bertalan,

Thanks

The Lightroom serial number is cross-platform. It works on both Windows and Mac.
Something else is going on here.

I have an iPad that has one app that loads to only 72%. Apple tells me that the app is no longer available in canada but it has content that I paid for. How do I get the app to work again?

If it's not available in your country and you do not have a copy of it in iTunes backed up on your computer, you don't.

I purchased the package that allows you to export PDF files into Word files. Whenever I try to export the PDF into a Word file it never works... I don't know if there's something key that I'm missing but I'm pretty bummed I paid for it and it won't work

Hello,
I have paid for this service for a year and it never worked on my computer. I just renewed and it finally converted the file but it will not let me edit it. I join you in being bummed. Either I get help with this or I am asking for a 2 year refund. My intention was to be able to edit a pdf in MS Word.

Did a new install of Windows 7 and Adobe, but CS won't activate.

Have Adobe Creative Sweet Premium from a couple years ago. Did a new install of Windows 7 and Adobe, but CS won't activate. Probably did not de-activate the old product. I paid for it though and have the install disks and serial numbers.
The adobe.com/go/activate website is less useful. Been on live chat for 20 min. It says an agent is available but no one responds. Help?

Mylenium,
That was a good start. Need one more helpful hint. I just found the Adobe DVDs. It is actually Creative Suite 5 Design Standard. It would be nice to put on a box without a DVD player. Can you please provide me with a download link for CS5 DS?
I think if I can download it I can handle validating it from there. Thank you!

I have pages 09 0n my Mac Mini, but iCloud won't accept pdf documents not created in pages...

I have pages 09 0n my Mac Mini, but iCloud won't accept some pdf documents not created in Pages (Its says Document format not supported).
How do I get docs (pdf/jpg etc.), that are saved under "Documents" on my Mac Mini (Not in Pages), onto iCloud???
I want to transfer (None Pages) documents from the Mac Mini to my iPad 3 (Which has Pages for iPad 3).
Thanks in advance for ANY Feedback!

You can download PDF files from iWork's page to a mac, but you can't upload from mac. Also, you can't use iCloud like MobileMe's iDisk. Most document formats on your mini can't be copied to iCloud. Use Dropboc instead.

HT4796 PC won't reconnect to Mac for Windows Migration?

My PC suddenly disconnected with my Mac during the Windows Migration Process. The Mac still says transferring information but my PC is trying to reconnect. What is the problem here?

So I tried a different account and swapping out the cables. Even broke out as brand new one. No joy on Windows 8.1. I'm going to guess there was something in my Win 8.1 settings that prevented iTunes from syncing, since the computer recognized my iPhone, and even suggested I transfer the camera roll photos, but did NOT load iTunes.
SOLUTION: I finally got it to sync to the RIGHT (but not the LEFT!) USB port on my MacBook Pro with Retina running Mavericks. Why not the left port? Is there anything different about it? Works fine for other stuff.
Back in July, everything synced to my Windows desktop just fine -- but of course that was before iOS7 and Windows 8.1.
So I guess I should mark this solved. If anyone with a similar problem is reading this, I would say your best chances of syncing an iDevice running iOS7 to a computer would be to find a Mac running Mavericks and try ALL its available USB ports before giving up. Failing that, find a PC NOT running Win 8.1.

Hello Sriggers,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are attempting to update some applications on your iPhone but the payment method was declined. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the information in the attached article to help resolve the situation.

Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)? That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both? Or more?
I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details. The BT email client set-up starts here.

I have installed mountain lion on my early 2009 macbook (not unibody) and it is terrible, it's like owning a windows pc again (almost) What can I do? I paid for mountain lion, is there any way of giving it back and getting a refund?

I have installed mountain lion on my early 2009 macbook (not unibody) and it is terrible, it's like owning a windows pc again (almost) What can I do? I paid for mountain lion, is there any way of giving it back and getting a refund? obvisoulsy after unintalling it. I couldn't see any reason why it would be bad for my particular macbook, and it downloaded without a problem.

In what way is it terrible? Mountain Lion is pretty stable. If you are having problems, most likely they are unique to your particular system and can be fixed. If you don't like some of the new features, that does not constitute reason for a refund.
If that does not suit you, you will have to discuss a refund with Apple, as they are the only ones who can say. Note that the App Store terms do say that all sales are final, so you are not guaranteed a refund, especially since whatever problems you had are not due to defective software.
