Hello, I need help with info about upgrading windows.
Hi, after having my PC for almost a year, I'm now I'm wondering if it's possible to upgrade my windows 7 32-bit to a windows 7 64-bit?
Here's a link to a website which has my PC and it's specs....
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6288750&CatId=4928#
If it is possible to upgrade my windows 7 32-bit to a windows 7 64-bit, then how do I do it? And what things will be required?
Thanks.
upgrade is the wrong word (you can't upgrade from 32 to 64)you can install 64 bit you can use the lenovo disc to just write over whats on your HDD or you can formate your HDD then install 64 bit using the lenovo media info is here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=HT002492 Edit: everything you need is on the disc...drivers & Apps, windows once you get it installed run system update to get system drivers up to date

Need help with info about the possibility of altering images when saved in a different format
I am very new to the design world. I have a printing business and received and image to be printed in Adobe Acrobat (I think). I needed to resize the image to be printed and took it into Photoshop CS6 where I cropped the edges. I then resave it as a PDF and took into a printer software, Fiery. Fiery has an Impose function where you can repeat an image to layout it on the correct paper size. It essentially just copies the original image several times depending on the layout. This particular image I repeated to 3 up and 1 across. When printed it came out with a magenta streak through the center image only. I have had the machine checked and they are adamant it's not a printer issue but a software issue. That once I altered the original image by resizing it that I altered the image and that I can't expect it to come out as seen on the screen. I've printed it all sorts of different ways and it only occurs with the 3 up 1 across image. I know that images can be changed when saved from program to program but this situation does not make sense that it is only the one area and layout that this shows up. I would appreciate any help, input, answers that anyone has. Again, I'm new to this and would like to understand if this is a potential for further printing jobs so that I can do what I need to avoid this situation.
Thank you for your time.
JessicaJessica,
Without knowing how the original graphic was created it is hard to tell you how to handle it. What is the name of the file? (Only the file suffix is important). If the file's origin was in a drawing program and/Or InDesign, then the document should be handled differently if the document is a raster image best handled by a program like Photoshop. -
Need help with question about upgrading phone
Okay, so, here's what's going on:
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.
It's dying/freezing/battery life is terrible. Looking to upgrade.
I don't have an upgrade available for my line, but my wife does.
She's giving me permission to use hers, which a Verizon rep told me is fine.
I want to use her upgrade to get a Samsung Galaxy Note II.
The best price (subsidized) right now is on Dell's site ($169.99), which I could price-match at Best Buy (employee confirmed this). However, it's still a little high for me.
I could get a better price by adding a line with this device - shave off $40 ($129.99).
So here's my question: is there any way to add a line, get some immediate savings on the purchase, then immediately cancel the line (maybe only taking a little bit of a hit, getting most of the cost reimbursed for not using it)? In other words, how can I get this phone as cheap as possible?
Thanks for your suggestions!If you add a line as you suggest, that new line will come with a 2 year (24 month) contract for service that will have a $350 Early Termination Fee (ETF) if you cancel the line immediately like you indicated. There goes the thought of getting the Note II for the cheaper than the upgrade price.
I recommend going with the price match upgrade @ $169.99 at Best Buy. I can confirm they do the price match. I bought my last phone from Best Buy and they matched the Radio Shack price I brought them and I had a good experience.
Good luck. -
Need help with info about Z87 MPOWER MAX
Im coming from LGA 775. Dying for an upgrade. Im going with the intel 4770k and msi Z87 MPOWER MAX board. I noticed the board has two 8-pin cpu power ports. Why is this? Im using my old PSU which is a 1200 watt still kicking so im saving money here until a few more months...
So the real concern is I really don't know why there are 2 8-pin power ports for the CPU... Can anyhone school me on that please. Thanks in advance..Quote from: Sea Dog on 29-September-13, 14:15:14
Both EPS/ATX headers on the mainboard are to better the balance the CPU power load. The Z87 Power Max is a high end enthusiast board for serious OC'ing, etc. If the PSU does not have the ability to provide both headers, an Athena YEPS828 splitter works very well.
Some PSUs don't have the ability at low power, especially in sleep or hibernate type modes to fire up the system again. A fan connected directly to the PSU eliminates, in some cases, this problem.
Hi Sea Dog,
My mpower max will sometimes not boot up - when I press the power switch there is no response at all, no fans. Usually when this happens, both the red and blue leds (which indicate which gear the OC Genie operates at) are lit.
I get the system to boot by removing the 24 pin power cable, removing and replacing one stick of ram, hook up the power, then I can use the switch to turn on as normal.
My psu is Corsair AX1200 and is not very old. Do you think I am having the problem you mentioned? or some other issue? Bios is latest, 1.6

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.
Regards,

(I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS. -
HT204406 Hello, I need help with my iTunes match
Helo, I need help with iTunes Match.
I signed up for iTunes match. It did its thing and now it is supposed to have every one of my songs in the cloud.
I checked for Ring my bell (Which I purchase from iTunes) and it is not on my iTunes on my computer anymore?
I did match to give my 4S with limited memory and over 400 songs the ability to put all songs in the cloud, then by connecting to my computer, somehow I can tell my phone to not sync with match, the re sync and all the songs would be deleted from my phone and then I could down load any songs I wanted on my phone, thus giving me a bunch more memory. I could not figure out how to do this?
Can you please help me. Thank you.You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.

Hello guys need help with reverse array
Need help reversing an array, i think my code is correct but it still does not work, so im thinking it might be something else i do not see.
so far the input for the array is
6, 25 , 10 , 5
and output is still the same
6 , 25 , 10 , 5
not sure what is going on.
public class Purse
// max possible # of coins in a purse
private static final int MAX = 10;
private int contents[];
private int count; // count # of coins stored in contents[]
* Constructor for objects of class Purse
public Purse()
contents = new int[MAX];
count = 0;
* Adds a coin to the end of a purse
* @param coinType type of coin to add
public void addCoin(int coinType)
contents[count] = coinType;
count = count + 1;
* Generates a String that holds the contents of a purse
* @return the contents of the purse, nicely formatted
public String toString()
if (count == 0)
return "()";
StringBuffer s = new StringBuffer("(");
int i = 0;
for (i = 0; i < count - 1; ++i)
s.append(contents[i] + ", "); // values neatly separated by commas
s.append(contents[i] + ")");
return s.toString();
* Calculates the value of a purse
* @return value of the purse in cents
public int value()
int sum = 0; // starts sum at zero
for( int e : contents) // sets all to e
sum = sum + e; //finds sum of array
return sum; //retur
* Reverses the order of coins in a purse and returns it
public void reverse()
int countA = 0;
int x = 0;
int y = countA - 1; // 5 - 1 = 4
for (int i = contents.length - 1; i >=0 ; i--) // 4, 3 , 2, 1, 0
countA++; // count = 5
while ( x < y)
int temp = contents[x];
contents[x] = contents [y];
contents [y] = temp;
y = y- 1; // 4 , 3 , 2, 1 , 0
x = x + 1 ; // 0 , 1, 2 , 3 , 4
}ok so i went ahead and followed what you said
public void reverse()
int a = 0;
int b = contents.length - 1;
while (b > a)
int temp = contents[a];
contents[a] = contents;
contents [b] = temp;
a++;
b--;
}and its outputting { 0, 0, 0, 0}
im thinking this is because the main array is has 10 elements with only 4 in use so this is a partial array.
Example
the array is { 6, 25, 10, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,}
after the swap
{0, 0 , 0 , 0, 0 , 0 , 5 , 10 , 25, 6}
i need it to be just
{ 5, 10, 25, 6}
so it is swapping the begining and end but only with zeroes the thing is i need to reverse the array without the zeroes -

C:\Users\Caroline\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-125393-0.sysdata.xmlHi,
In order to assist you, we will need the .DMP files to analyze what exactly occurred at the time of the crash, etc.
If you don't know where .DMP files are located, here's how to get to them:
1. Navigate to the %systemroot%\Minidump folder.
2. Copy any and all DMP files in the Minidump folder to your Desktop and then zip up these files.
3. Upload the zip containing the .DMP files to Onedrive or a hosting site of your choice and paste in your reply. Preferred sites: Onedrive, Mediafire, Dropbox, etc. Nothing with wait-timers, download managers, etc.
4 (optional): The type of .DMP files located in the Minidump folder are known as Small Memory Dumps. In %systemroot% there will be what is known as a Kernel-Dump (if your system is set to generate). It is labeled MEMORY.DMP. The difference
between Small Memory Dumps and Kernel-Dumps in the simplest definition is a Kernel-Dump contains
much more information at the time of the crash, therefore allowing further debugging of your issue. If your upload speed permits it, and you aren't going against any strict bandwidth and/or usage caps, etc, the Kernel-Dump is the best
choice. Do note that Kernel-Dumps are much larger in size due to containing much more info, which is why I mentioned upload speed, etc.
If you are going to use Onedrive but don't know how to upload to it, please visit the following:
Upload photos and files to Onedrive.
After doing that, to learn how to share the link to the file if you are unaware, please visit the following link -
Share files and folders and change permissions and view 'Get a link'.
Please note that any "cleaner" programs such as TuneUpUtilities, CCleaner, etc, by default will delete .DMP files upon use. With this said, if you've run such software, you will need to allow the system to crash once again to generate a crash dump.
If your computer is not generating .DMP files, please do the following:
1. Start > type %systemroot% which should show the Windows folder, click on it. Once inside that folder, ensure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to make a New Folder and name it Minidump.
2. Windows key + Pause key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Performance > Settings > Advanced > Ensure there's a check-mark for 'Automatically manage paging file size for all
drives'.
3. Windows key + Pause key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings > System Failure > ensure there is a check mark next to 'Write an event to the system
log'.
Ensure Small Memory Dump is selected and ensure the path is %systemroot%\Minidump.
4. Double check that the WERS is ENABLED:
Start > Search > type services.msc > Under the name tab, find Windows Error Reporting Service > If the status of the service is not Started then right click it and select Start. Also ensure that under Startup Type it is set to Automatic rather than
Manual. You can do this by right clicking it, selecting properties, and under General selecting startup type to 'Automatic', and then click Apply.
If you cannot get into normal mode to do any of this, please do this via Safe Mode.
Regards,
Patrick

Need help with as3 for popup window
I am nearing the end of the semester in my Flash Animation class. I have learned very simple AS3 things, code snippets etc. I am trying to find the actionscript for coding a very simple popup window, but have not found a clue.
Here's what I want to do...I have a white box with some type on the stage. When a person clicks on the white box, I want a popup to open that is larger, that will contain the same type but larger. That box will have an x so it can be dismissed. I don't want to do this in html, only in Flash CS5. I don't want a browser window, I just want a bigger version of the smaller box. I know how to build both boxes, just don't know how to write the code. I know there will be an on-click mouse event listener, and then I am lost.
Can anyone help with the code I might use? It would be most appreciated.It would be something along the lines of... (using instance names relative to your description)...
popup.visible = false;
whiteBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showPopup);
function showPopup(evt:MouseEvent):void {
popup.visible = true;
popup.popupX.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hidePopup);
function hidePopup(evt:MouseEvent):void {
popup.visible = false; -
I need help with just about everything...........
I realize that this is a site dedicated to all things Apple, but I am hoping I can't get some honest and impartial help on building the best home network and entertainment system.
I currently have an XP Media Center desktop computer in an office of my home where all of the network stuff is at and is connected via ethernet. I also have a Mac G4 MDD 1.0 that I am using in another room for Adobe Creative Suite to do my own promotional items and I have about a 50' Cat 6 cable running back to the router in the office. I also have a Vista laptop that is connected wirelessly but believe it is only a "g" network? I don't really use this a whole lot but take it out to job sites and such so there is information I need to send back and forth to my external drives hooked up via ethernet to my router. I am in the process of getting a new MacBook Pro as well.
I have a PS3 hooked up to my home entertainment center but unsure of how to make everything work the way that I want. Here is what I would like to be able to do. 1) Networking of all computers and external drives, 2) Operate my Mac G4 Wirelessly, 3) Addition of internal bluetooth to G4 so I can get a wireless keyboard and mouse, 4) Ability to play iTunes from external hard drives on home entertainment center, 3) Ability to stream media from internet and hard drives to HDTV in home entertainment center
I am looking to upgrade my router to dual band with either the Airport Extreme or the Netgear WNDR3700. I don't know which to get and have found about the same amount of pros and cons for each on the web. Any suggestions and why?
Do I need an Apple TV or a Netgear WNHDEB111 or other Digital Media Reciever???
What else would you recommend to accomplish my goals and why do you recommend the part and brand that you do.
Thank you in advance for any and all assistance I can get.I getting a message saying[ a blackberry identity update is needed. Would you like to install it now yes or no /when I click yes I also getting this message[ BlackBerry identity installation failed please try again later. Keep getting this same message over and over

I still need help with this minor upgrade.
I have an 800mhz g4.
The 800 G4 can get really clunky and slow sometimes, I've seen a couple of Fp's on ebay for 174 that are 1.25ghz.
Would it be worth upgrading the G4 to a 1ghz+ machine?
I don't really do anything on the computer except browser the internet and use IM, Even the web browser can be a little slow sometimes too!If you like these iMac and If your looking to sell your iMac G4 for a faster one iMac G4, I would recommend looking at the 1.25 Ghz, USB 2.0 models selling on ebay. These can take up to 2.0Gbs of RAM instead of 1 Gb.
Obviously, you'll pay a little more for the higher spec'd models.
A lot of things can make a Mac slow.
On the internet, if you're on a broadband connections speeds vary with the time of day and the amount of traffic upstream from you.
If your hard drive is filling up, this can slow your Mac if it's close to being full.
Ideally, you show have as a minimum at least 15% to 20% of your total drive space left to insure your Mac can still run optimally. Less this this can start to show troubles.
Do you run computer maintenance on your iMac?
All computers, even Macs, need occasional maintenance to insure good operation.
Do you repair permissions when your Mac crashes or when you install new programs?
Do you have any third party disk utilities such as DIsk Warrior from Alsoft or TechTool Pro from Micromat?
Over time, data corruption/fragmentation can make any computer or Mac slow.
My Mac just informally told me a few days ago that I needed to run some disk repair.
So I used TechTool Pro to do this. Mac is running fine now.
Without some semi-routine computer maintenance, over an extended period of time, your iMac can an did get slow.
All I am saying is if you decide to purchase a better spec Mac, that machine will eventually get slow too if no regular computer maintenance is not done.

Help with questions about upgrading iLife'08 onto an older PowerBook G4
I am seeking help/advice for a very low tech guy. I upgraded my PowerBook G4 (ancient I know but I have trouble with our thow away society), to Leopard 10.5.2. However, my iDVD no longer works. I plan on upgrading to iLife'08, but based on the system requirements, I am not certain all of the features (i.e. iMovie'08) will work on my older processor. Before I upgrade to iLife, can anyone tell me if I should do it and if they will work on my all the features will work on my PowerBook G4?
You can upgrade to iLife 08. All the apps should install except iMovie.
However, if you have iMovie 06, it will still work. And if you don't have iMovie 06, you can get it as a free download on the iMovie 08 Support Page. -
Need help with question about Microsoft Excel?
I have recently begun using Microsoft Office for Mac. My question is related to the Excel program. I have used this for years on a PC where when the program opens, it shows a Workbook with a single page. However, on the Mac, when it opens, it shows many pages, the first going from column A to G, the second going from H to N, etc. and each page with the text "Click to add data". This continues forever. I would like to have just one sheet as on the PC. I have not found a way to limit this view to a single page. I have looked in the Preferences and in "View", but nothing seems to change the configuration. Any suggestions?
ThanksMy zoom only shows the magnification and does not give a "one page" option. However, I did find an icon that I loaded into the menu bar which gives the one page view. This may be due to the version 2004 that I am using.
I also find that if I want to change the number of columns and rows, I change the size of each. I assume this is correct.
Thanks for the help. This is slightly different that the PC version, but I am sure over time, there will be no problem. -
