I bought a new computer and downloaded my lightroom 4 to it. When I installed the program it asked for my serial number and I imputed it. Then it asked for my previous serial number from my original lightroom 3 purchase. Since I upgraded to lightroom 4 I don't have the serial number for the version 3. How do I get the serial number from my 3 version so I can activate my version 4 program

If you have Lightroom 3 still installed, you can get it from there.
If you don't and you have your box/disk, it should be on there.
IF you don't have either of those,and you registered your software, you can log into your Adobe account and retrieve it there.

You should first uninstall iTunes completely.
This is not an easy task!
Read this article on how to remove iTunes completely

Then download the latest version of iTunes for your Windows Version and install it.

Howdy Allux345.
After multiple installations of iTunes it can be frustrating when the issue isnt resolved. I was able to locate the following knowledge base article that specifically addresses the "Error 7" you are recieving.
iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3074
The Resolution section has different steps depending on what version of the Windows Operating System you're using. Since it can be a bad installation of these Windows files, pay close attention to the instructions on repairing if the file already exhists.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities with your question.
Cheers,

I bought Adobe creative suite 6 (Student Edition) for Windows? Can I install the programs on Mac as well?

I bought Adobe creative suite 6 ( Student Edition ) for Windows? Can I install the programs on Mac as well?

Licenses are platform specific, so the Windows version will only work on the Mac if the Mac has Windows emulation software installed. The other option would be to trade your Windows version for a Mac version, but then you lose the use of it on the Windows machine.

Turbo memory Crashes vista and windows 7 when I install the driver (any available driver)

It goes like this .
when I first receive my t61 there was a vista installation and turbo me worked. I downgraded to XP and then I didn't use turbomem.
about half a year ago I tried running windows 7 beta and one of the turbo memory drivers worked but didn't operate the Readyboost or ready drive but only I was able to see the IMD-0 in the disk management so I mounted the IMD as a drive and run manually the ready boost on that drive.
I installed a newer version of windows 7 (Build 7600) and I tried that newer turbo mem drivers and the older drivers nothing works !
When I install the driver my comp crashed because ianvstor. That happens everytime IM trying to install the driver.
I tried installing vista SP2 and the same thing happens. I think my turbo mem chip is burned or something.
I also tried to replace hard drives and it didn't works.
it's really annoying that I have a component on the computer which I payed for it and it doesn't work.
i really hope this forum can help me to solve the problem.
i was going throw all the posts in google about turbo mem and none of them have my problem which I can't even install the driver.

Windows 7 is still in beta stages first of all, and second, Lenovo hasn't released any official drivers to work with Windows 7 yet. That will NOT happen unitl Microsoft offically releases Windows 7.
http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/windows7/index.html?ipromoID=wnb00492&
I would highly recommend sticking with the OEM version of your OS to eliminate problems of this kind! You want Lenovo to help you, but you're using a non-OEM operating system on your unit. Maybe someone else here in the forum might be able to assist you.
Do NOT PM me with technical issues. Post in the forum for assistance. Thanks

Drivers won't work on windows 7 when i installed it on my my mac mini with os x lion

have installed windows 7 using boot camp on my mac mini with os x lion on it. But when i loaded windows 7 up it was working fine but then windows 7 wouldn't connect to wifi. It says i have to install drivers but i don't know how to.

First, hold the X key while your Mac is starting to start in OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities), follow the steps and mark the option to download the Windows support software. It will be downloaded onto a USB drive or DVD.
Finally, start in Windows, access to the DVD or USB drive through Windows Explorer and run the installer. When the Windows support software is installed, restart

Error when downloading/installing Lion 10.7.3....

Hi,
I was about 50% of the way downloading the latest Lion update when I got the following error:

Finally managed to get everything working after getting the error below via Software Update:
Strangely enough, when I went to turn off my Mac last night, I was then prompted to either 'Install Update then Shutdown' or just 'Shutdown'. I chose the latter.
Here are the steps that I took before downloading/installing update:
1) Turn off iMac
2) Unplug TimeMachine HD
3) Restart iMac and launch Disk Utility
4) Verify / Repair Macintosh HD
5) Download Lion 10.7.3 Client Combo
6) Install Update and let iMac restart
7) Turn off iMac and plug-in TimeMachine HD
8) Turn on iMac and let TimeMachine do its thing (took about an hour)
Everything ran smoothly and system seems to be woking fine.

How do I AUTOMATICALLY (i.e., every time) restore windows & tabs when re-opening Firefox 5.0?

If I close Firefox, I want the previous windows and tabs to automatically reappear. I does not do this now.

You should be able to set this in options.
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > General tab
When Firefox starts => Show my windows and tabs from last time
Does that work?

I have windows 7 & when I install iTunes

I have a windows 7 & when I install iTunes all the icons on my desktop turn into iTunes icon & any icon I click on opens the iTunes app

First I'd set up a System Restore point. Then try applying the LNK registry fix from the following document:
File Association Fixes for Windows 7
Does that get your icons back to normal?

Suppressing "reopen windows" dialog when restarting a crashed program

Hi All,
Is there any way of suppressing the alert dialog that pops up when restarting a crashed program? The alert's text reads:
"The last time you opened <app name>, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?"
I want the OS to just open the program without asking me this, since the computer is being used in a kiosk-type application.
Thanks,
c.

Yes, I still have access to the keyboard for a tty. It's just that X doesn't respond to any keyboard inputs.
I totally didn't know that you could run stuff on an X display from a tty. Worked with env DISPLAY=:0.0 xeyes
I think this is the most elegant solution.
The Ctrl+Alt+Bksp can no longer be activated with Option "DontZap" "false". There is a way to re-enable it with HAL or a setting in KDE/Gnome keyboard layout settings. It still kills everything in the X session though.
Thank you very much

How do I get firefox to save tabs when I quit the program? This doesn't appear to be available in 4.0

On previous firefox version, when I quit the program, a prompt would ask me if I wanted to save tabs. That doesn't appear to be happening with 4.0 upgrade. Can I still save and quit?

One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''

Why does firefox opens new window/tab when i click on a link

if I click any link in Firefox it will open another blank window in addition to the link clicked, blank window opens on top. how do I stop this

If a website codes its links to open in a new window, you can divert that to a new tab.
The basic setting for this is here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
The first checkbox: "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
In some cases, a website uses a script to launch a new window with special features, such as a set height/width, or with one or more toolbars removed. To avoid breaking sites that create dialog boxes this way, Firefox does not normally divert this kind of window to a new tab. However, if you wanted to send these to a tab as well, there is a hidden setting you can change. (See: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1035103#answer-662627])
If Firefox is sending ALL links to new windows or new tabs, you might have an extension like Tab Mix Plus or Tab Utilities which changes the built-in tab handling features. You would need to explore their settings to get it just the way you want it.

Computer/Windows crashing when downloading from iTunes 7.

Hi everyone, thanks in advance for taking a look and helping me out. Just a few days ago I downloaded the new version of iTunes - 7.0. Until I did this, everything with iTunes and my iPod worked fine, no problems at all. However, once the new version was installed, when I try downloading something my computer shuts down and I get a blue screen telling me there was a serious error and Windows has been shut down. It has happened three times so far and ONLY when I am downloading files from iTunes music store.
I tried to pause all the downloads I had going, since it is multiple downloads now, hoping that having only one download going at a time would fix the problem... it didn't. What's worse is the second time it did this my iTunes library was empty upon start up. Fortunately, I was able to restore it minus one episode of a TV show and an album.
I'm hoping someone can tell me what may be going on with this. I can tell you that the first time it happened was when I tried to download all the episodes of the National Geographic podcast. It happened again when I was trying to download a season of a TV show (twice). The TV show was not harmed and over time I was able to get the entire season downloaded.
When I restored my library by renaming a backup dated library as iTunes Library.xml it was missing an album I had downloaded the same day as well as an episode of another TV show I mentioned before. They are also not in the iTunes folder at all.
This is really scaring me as I'm adraid to download anything, knowing I might be losing my library again and anything I had downloaded previously. I do have backups but nevertheless I can't back up every single thing that I download. I buy a lot of stuff on iTunes and that would mean hundreds of CD's, which is one of the reason I switched to digital music in the first place, to eliminate the amount of CD's I need to have around.
I was also wondering if anyone could tell me how to search for the lost music files and add them back into my library... I'm hoping they're not gone forever, as I'll have to buy them again, which I personally think is wrong.
Also, is there anyway I can make a copy of my iTunesLibrary.xml file each time I add something to it, so if this problem occurs again and wipes out my library all of the files I had in there previously are still there. I don't want to us a Library four days old as it might be missing lots of stuff.
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much detail as possible. Thanks.

However, once the new version was installed, when I try downloading something my computer shuts down and I get a blue screen telling me there was a serious error and Windows has been shut down. It has happened three times so far and ONLY when I am downloading files from iTunes music store.
okay, let's get a minidump of the blue screen and send it to the Apple Engineers to see if they can make head or tail of it.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
collect the minidump, and send it to this email address
in the email, include the URL to this thread so that the person who gets the email has some context, but also give as much information about the context of the crashing as you can.
