Do I need to buy a full, DVD copy of Windows to run Windows?

If you want to, but you can get Windows for less than that.

  • I use Pro Logic 9 and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

    I use Pro Logic 9.1.8.  and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

    Old saying applies here most of the time......
    "If it ain't broken, don't fix it"
    I choose to use LP9 with Snow Leopard myself (10.6.8 and 9.1.6) for most of my commercial work simply because I find that combo very stable and provides the best overall performance for my setups here... but I am also using LPX with Mavericks as part of my client support and that works fine too although with a drop in performance due to the heavier demands made on the hardware by the newer OS X and LPX graphic routines for example..

  • I am using 10.4.11. Do I need to buy the full version of 10.5, or can I just purchase the upgrade? (about $100 difference)

    I am using 10.4.11. Trying to upgrade Itunes so I can set up our new IPad. However, to upgrade Itunes, I have to upgrade OS. Do I need to buy the full version of 10.5, or can I just purchase the upgrade? (about $100 difference). All this just to get our Ipad to work....

    It requires the full Retail version to get Loeopard/10.5, ($129), now there is a $29 Snow Leopard /10.6 Disc, but...

    You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.

  • Re Photo Books – Elements 12 brilliant and serves all my need except Photo Books. Do I need to Buy the full version of Lightroom 5 to use the Photo Book facility?

    Re Photo Books. Hi I have an old full version of Photoshop 6 and Elements 12. Elements 12 serves pretty well all my editing needs. It has a Photo Book facility but the Template is not brilliant eg It is clumsy adding captions. I have been looking at Lightroom 5 which seems to have a great Photo Book facility but do I have to Buy the full Light Room 5 programme to use it? If so, what is the cost?

    Hi DJ,
    Many thanks for your comments on the Adobe Forum about Photoshop for
    Photo Books..
    Following your suggestion, I have had a look at Blurb and it seems
    pretty good and  quite easy to use. Many thanks for this suggestion. I
    have had a look around and I find there are many "publishers" and
    although Blurb comes out well in many reviews, there are many others
    also. But there is one big problem for me - they ALL produce BOUND Photo
    Books but I want a flexible Photo Book where I can later add or change
    pages! Nobody I have found produces a book where pages can be printed
    separately to be added when and where required in a book!
    I have posted another question in the Forum asking if anyone knows of
    such a publisher - especially in the UK, where I live.
    The reason I want the ability to insert pages etc is for a number of
    reasons. For example, I am producing an historical Photo Book but if
    friends send me photos of a past era, I want to scan the photos, put
    them on a separate page and then insert that page in the appropriate era
    in my book or I may later want to enlarge an old photograph already in
    the book and insert the enlargement next to the original etc. etc.
    I have printed some pages myself using Photoshop Elements, which was not
    the ideal tool as I mentioned before, but when the A4 pages were placed
    in clear plastic A4 pockets and inserted in my smart presentation Ring
    Binder, the result looked brilliant. But I have hundreds of photographs
    and I dread to think what the cost of ink would be if I printed them all
    myself, let alone the time!
    But I am beginning to think I may after all have to print them myself
    and that, as I have several hundred or more, the cost of buying
    Lightroom 5 may be worth it in the long run.
    Anyway, thanks for coming back to me with your views regarding my
    original enquiry.
    With very best wishes,
    Tony

  • Buying an External DVD Burner, but system requirement says Windows

    I am thinking about buying an LaCie DVD Burner, but the problem is that the system requirement calls for Windows.
    However, since Macs are all plug in play, will it work by just plugging it in, and then running the copy of Toast I already own?

    Have you considered getting one of their FireWire versions? I know they're pricier, but they fully support them working with OSX.
    Here's a review from an Amazon.com of their USB-only desktop drive where the author claims it works fine with OSX and a Core Duo MacBook as well as a MacBook Air. It seems a bit strange since it talks about bus power when I thought it only operated off of external power.

  • I purchased version 12 for Windows elements and changed on iMAC computer do I need to buy the full versions of the elements 13

    I elements12 versions of Windows but now changed to a mac computer and I can not download the purchased version of how to change or upgarde to the elements 13 for mac

    Download versions are for one platform only, but that won't matter if you buy an upgrade. However, if you're in the US later this week you'll almost certainly be able to find the full version for much less than adobe's upgrade price, at big box stores and online retailers.

  • Do I need to buy the full version of lightroom 4 after using the trial

    I am not sure if I purchase the full version or the upgrade

    If you have owned a previous qualifying version then you would purchase the upgrade.  If this is your first purchase of Lightroom then you would want to purchase the full version.

  • If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

    If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

    Lion will run on most Intel machines. It will not run on the following machines:
    MacBook Pro (sold before October 2006)
    MacBook (sold before November 2006)
    Mac Mini (sold before August 2007)
    iMac (sold before September 2006)
    It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo (or later CPU). Those machines listed above were all Intel Core Duo machines and with the exception of one of the Mac Minis, an Intel Core Solo. So we're talking 4+ year old machines. I have not tested Lion on a machine with anything less than 2GB of RAM.
    Wikipedia has a pretty good public summation of what's known so far and it's quite accurate - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Lion
    The biggest thing of note so far is that you cannot install/run Rosetta. Which maybe problematic for some users.

  • HT3986 do i lose any functionality running windows 7 in bootcamp?

    Hi - I'd love to buy the new macbook pro from a hardware point-of-view. However, I'm a power windows user (develop custom excel sheets and analytic applications) iand would like to hear from users who use boot windows on macs using bootcamp about their experience with windows 7. (I use parallels on mac-mini to run windows/os x simultaneously at work, which works fine, but end up losing a big part of the 8gb memory in this setup).

    Wireless:
    Connection problem using windows in a Mac.
    May 4, 2012 10:08 PM (in response to Chris9393)
    bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4079148
    After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
    The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under: Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK. I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one. As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back. Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem. This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer. So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
    All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.

  • I have Adobe Reader on my computer & want Adobe X Standard - Do I need to buy upgrade or full?

    I have Adobe Reader on my computer and want to install Adobe X Standard - Do I need to purchase an upgrade or full version?

    You buy a full version. There are no upgrade discounts from a tool that is free, anyway.

  • I have CS4 Photoshop on my iMac with Mavericks. I am going to upgrade to Yosemite, and don't think it is compatible with CS4. Do I get the full Photoshop CC version for $9.99 a month, or do I need to buy any additional things?

    Thanks, I was thinking so. I installed my CS4 from a CD in 2008, and it looks like Adobe has taken another approach to selling their products. I'll be downloading CC Photoshop a little later today.

  • I have the trial version of LR5, do I need to buy full version or just the upgrade?

    I have the trial version of LR5, do I need to buy full version or just the upgrade?

    If you have a paid-up version of LR4 or earlier, you can pay for an upgrade licence.  When you install LR and it asks for a licence, if you give it an upgrade licence then it will ask for the previous licence that you're upgrading. 

  • Bought Lightroom upgrade version in error. Thought I was buying the full version. [was: Adobe took 80 bucks from me. I need it back.]

    So, I dowloaded to the free trial of lightroom. After I used it for 30 days, I then Clicked the 'buy' button followed the steps, payed for the product, claimed the serial number, plugged in the number for the product, and then it presents me  with a screen that says i only bought the upgrade and I need my original serial number. Why did it do this. I just paid for and upgrade to a product I never had. And the website never told me that I was buying an upgrade. I followed the steps and they practically took 85 bucks from me. How do I fix this? and why did they do this too

    And the website never told me that I was buying an upgrade.
    It probably did but it was not made clear enough to you.
    The default buying option on most screens (exact screens vary) is the Upgrade version. Unfortunately this subtlety catches many newbies out.
    Return the upgrade and buy the full version Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order

  • I have a 500 gig time capsule.  I have used with a Macbook.  The Macbook has a 500 gig hard drive which is about 3/4 full.   Now we just purchased a new MacBook pro with a 1 TB hard drive.   Do I need to buy a larger Time Capsule?

    Do I need to buy a larger Time Capsule?
    Probably yes. You might be able to get the full backup of the new MacBook Pro on the Time Capsule, but it will not be long before the Time Capsule is out of space.
    Better to add a new Time Capsule and backup the new MacBook Pro to the new Time Capsule, and keep the old MacBook backing up to the old Time Capsule.
    If you do not want to add a new Time Capsule, another option would be to erase the Time Capsule disk and start over again with new backups of both Macs and move forward.
