I bought office 2010 with the free 2013 upgrade offer...

The office edition I purchase allowed for multiple computer installs, which I planned to use for a new laptop that I finally purchased today.
Do I have to install 2010, in order to upgrade it to 2013?
What are the steps to upgrade to 2013 after installing 2010?

It is too late to redeem it now. The Offer ended in most places on Friday at midnight.

The "offer" gives you a "free" copy of Office 2013 when it is released.
READ the FINE PRINT carefully, Office 2013 license terms have changed substantially, don’t assume you know the terms!
Ie All 2013 retail licenses are now for one computer, even if your original 2010 license was for 3 computers (Home and Student Retail). There is some discussion whether the “Offer” is an “upgrade” that replaces the 2010 license, or an “Offer” that allows
you to continue to run both
Eligibility: You must purchase, install, and activate your Office 2010 or Office for Mac 2011 product from October 19, 2012 to April 30, 2013.
Redemption Period: You must redeem the offer at
Office.com/offer before May 31, 2013.
Yes, you did have to install and activate 2010 before redeeming the offer.
You would be provided with a product key and downloaded installation file. Just run a normal Office installation. It is not an "upgrade" in the 2007 and earlier sense that it requires an "upgrade from" application. The offer provides you with a full, standalone
license that is independent of the 2010 license used to get it.<div_prefs id="div_prefs"></div_prefs>

Is it possible to activate Microsoft Office 2010 with the answer file?

Hello
I'm not sure if this is possible but I have a volume product Key for Microsoft Office 2010 and I am currently working on an image that would activate Office 2010. Is that possible and how would I put that in the answer file? Everything I see on product key
activation just goes to activating for Operating systems on the image. Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes, it's completely possible, but there are some specific steps you must perform, to avoid issues in the deployed computers.
This is because the Windows sysprep providers don't include a provider for Office (which means that Office doesn't get generalized by sysprep).
You must also take care *not* to execute any Office applications/components *after* running ospprearm.exe (because that will cause the Office components to indivuate, which un-does the effects of ospprearm.exe)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178964(v=office.14).aspx
Preparing the reference computer
To prepare the reference computer for imaging, follow these steps:
•Install Windows 7 Enterprise Volume Licensed version from DVD media.
•Enable the local Administrator account.
•Delete the temporary user account and profile.
•Install Office Professional Plus 2010 from the network installation point.
•Rearm the Office Professional Plus 2010 installation.
•Generalize the installation.
Also, some people find it useful to insert a specific Office activation command as a last step in the deployment. This is because Office setup will by itself only attempt automatic activation one time and will not retry. This can lead to unactivated installations,
warnings to the user, and helpdesk calls to you.e.g.:
'cscript.exe "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act'
This is not really an issue if you are using KMS, it's more of an issue when using MAK.

Is it possible to easily run Microsoft office 2010 with access on a MacBook pro or have I wasted my money ?

Okay , first off thanks for any help in advance . I just purchased a MacBook pro for my daughter for college . ( finance major ) . Her class requires Microsoft office 2010 with access . As you probably already know , and I have just learned , that is no offered for Mac. Is there an easy way To run ms office with access on a MacBook pro or have I wasted my money ?

All that matters is file compatibility. The documents look the same. I've been a professor, so I don't see any issues here at all.
Another option you may want to consider is this: Run Windows on the Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
         instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

I just bought a 2012 with the i5 and 4 gb RAM

I just bought a 2012 with the i5 and 4 gb RAM. Something is NOT right. Right along side it -for comparison purposes is my macbookpro -2009 -dula core with the stock 4gb ram.
The OS is the same -latest Mtn Lion
The mac mini is on its knees. With ZERO programs open the RAM available is just 1,100 mb -with about 6 firefox windows open the sbbod happened ALL the time and the available memory is around 300 mb.
The mac book pro -with inferior specs -right ? - has the SAME windows etc etc and has 1,900 MB OF AVIALBLE RAM - HOWVER NO SBBOD!!!!
The Mini Mac is way to slow...but why? I just bought it 2 days ago - very dissapointed so far.
Yes, I know installing 16gb of ram will (may) fix it - but the out of the box expreince is jusy messed up!
Ideas? Thoughts? Same issue?

Hi Johnfromoro,
I'm having the exact same issue as you, my old iMac 2006 seemed more fluent and less laggy/jerky then my new 2.6 GHZ quad core i7 mac mini. If I open a app I get the randbow wheel (yeh nothing else is open) I mean come on a quad core i7 can't open one application fluently?
I too have experience very high swap files also at a 1GB - this seems very odd considering I had 1.5 GB unused ram left? The applications that ran on my old iMac seemed to work alot smoother, I was expecting with the stats that Apple launched and I read about, that this would eat my old iMac for breakfast but I'm sitting here thinking. "Is this it??" It just lacking the whole sales pitch I was given about 78 % faster here and there!
Please could you let me know what Apple say about this cause I'm wondering if I too have a faulty machine or is this the "power" the mac mini offers?
P.S. I ran the disk ultility repair (no improvement), also I time machined all the files/data from my iMac to the new mac mini.
Kind Regards

What I can do with the free download version of Oracle 10g?

I'm new to Oracle. What can/can't do with the free download of Oracle 10g Release 2? What is the difference between Oracle 10g Release 2 and Express edition?

Express Edition has limits on the number of CPUs it'll utilize (it essentially forces itself to run single-threaded), amount of RAM it'll utilize and amount of data it will store. It is missing many of the higher level security and maintenance features you would find if you wanted to be highly available.
The downloadable version of Enterprise Edition is missing none of these, however the license states that you can only use the that version for development purposes.
I suspect you can also use the downloadable version to educate yourself on how the various features work, but it doesn't specifically say that in the license and I'm not a license expert.

Do I gee a copy of submitted forms with the free account?

Do I gee a copy of submitted forms with the free account?

Hi;
Using the Free account you can view the submitted data and export it to Excel, PDF or CSV (the data is in a table format).
Email Notifications, where an email comes to you each time someone submits the form is a paid level feature. Another Paid level feature is "Download Response as PDF" which allows you to save/download a PDF version of the filled out form that looks like the original.
Thanks,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

Adobe Reader - how to add page numbers with the free version?

Hey guys,
Imagine I've got a PDF file and I want to create a new one by selecting some pages out of it. I know this is simply possible by using the PDFcreator but I want to add page numbers. As far as I know this is not possible with the free version of Adobe unless I would add the page number on every single page by using a text box. I want to make different catalogs from the PDF so the page numbers are really necessary. Have you got any idea how to solve that issue? You know that's pretty much the only thing I need to add which means it's not worth buying the Pro version. Unfortunately I only got the PDF and I can't work on it e.g. with MS word before I export it. Do you know if there is a way to add page numbers with a free version? There might be an additional free software which allows that?
Thanks for your support!

Thanks for your quick replies.
I know how to add text page by page. But obviously it's hard to place the numbers on the very same position, is it?

HT201209 I bought a movie with the digital copy and it gives me option to redeem it with iTunes, but when I type in the redeem code it shows a message saying: you must insert your digital copy dvd in the computer in order to redeem this code" . The dvd is

I bought a movie with the digital copy and it gives me option to redeem it with iTunes, but when I type in the redeem code it shows a message saying: " you must insert your digital copy dvd in this computer in order to redeem this code" . The dvd is in. WTH? This is especially with FOX movies, I never have trouble with Universal Picture movies.

Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

Compiling my app with the free SDK

I need to provide my code, as a Flex Project, to someone without Flex Builder. They would then need to make simple edits to CSS as well as swap some images, then compile the swf.
How is this process done with the free Flex 3.3 SDK?
Thanks.

If you're on Windows you can compile a Flex project using MXMLC via the Command Prompt.
1. Change to your bin directory of the SDK:
cd C:/builds/flex3/bin/
2. Run MXMLC on your main application file:
mxmlc "C:/flex/mainApplication.mxml"
If you have any additional compiler arguments you will want to add them there as well.
Is this what you are looking for?
