I have a WRT54G2 router, want to upgrade my Desktop to VISTA, anything I need to prepare.

First, thanks for any help in advance. Second, please no "Don't bother with Vista/Vista sucks/Wait until Windows 7 etc"
I know all that but I have my reasons lol!
OK, I have a Desktop with XP Pro SP3 and a Laptop with Windows 7 RC build 7100. Both are working great with my WRT54G2 wireless router, I can share files between them and Network Magic is working great on both machines. Of course my Desktop is connected by direct cable (From Cable Modem to Router to Desktop) while my Laptop is connected to the router wirelessly.
I want to "upgrade" my Desktop from XP Pro SP3 to Vista Ultimate Edition. Now, I would hope that re-installing Network Magic I assume I will have to re-add my Desktop? How do I import my current network setting to the new OS? What are the steps I need to take in order to have the same setup with as little problems as possible?
The fact that I currently have both setup and running great is pretty much the limit (maybe I had a bit of luck?) of my Router setup knowledge so please any replies in simple terms would be appreciated. If their is already a thread or info regarding this topic I apologize as I could not find it but would greatly appreciate if you could direct me accordingly. THANKS AGAIN!

After upgrading your operating System to Windows7...Install the Network Magic step by step on your Computer.
Now,Launch Network Magic by clicking the Network Magic icon located on the desktop.Once the Cisco Network Magic window appears, click the Tasks button on the top of the screen.When the Network Tasks screen appears, select Add a Device. When the Add a Device window will appears, you can select Computer or Other device.Next,select whether the new device is using a wired or wireless connection.Make sure the computer is properly connected to the router. Once connected, click Next to continue. Once the device you wanted to add is found, click Finish to complete the installation.

I have iweb 2 and want to upgrade to 3. how?

i have iweb 2 and want to upgrade to 3. how?

You need to purchase iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: iLife '11 - Apple Store (U.S.). iWeb has been discontinued so as long as supplies last you can get it.
It is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.
Happy Holidays

Or wait a few weeks and get LR6, maybe? We’re up to LR 5.7 and there’s never been a LR somethingxzxz.8 so it would make sense that the next version is a payfor upgrade, again, with some sort of improvements and new features over LR 5. This suggestion assumes LR6 will be available as a perpetual license as an upgrade to LR 4, which I would expect, but you never know.

Hi. I have CS5 and I want to upgrade to CC. Please tell me how can I do this and what is my benefit of having bought the CS5 earlier, do I get any discount? Thank you!

I stand corrected, apparently the first year discount for previous CS customers is still in place.

You can not do so. 4.2.1 is the end of the line for the 3G. You will have to access it using Safari or get a new phone.

I'm on 8.6 and want to upgrade to 10.3 - what do I need to know and watch 4

I'm on 8.6 and want to upgrade to 10.3 - what do I need to know and watch out for. I have a friend who lost all of thier i-tunes when they upgraded. I do not want that to happen. Will I loose other information ie - email addresses? Any suggestions and help are welcome for a smooth transition.

David, welcome to the discussions.
Look this link over and see if it answers your questions.
I would get anything you need to keep from OS8 on an external of some sort or back it all up so you can retrieve it.

I have a 3g and want to upgrade.

I have a iPhone 3g 8gb and want to upgrade to a 3gs 16gb. How would I do this and how much would it cost? I heard from somebody that it cost like $600. If that is true that is ridiculous.

It would all depend on if you were on a monthly contract or if you were on Pay & Go. Pay & Go would mean you would be basically paying for the cost of the iPhone upfront, whereas with a monthly contract you will either get a BIG discount on what you need to pay for the iPhone or if you were on a more expensive monthly package/tariff you may even get the iPhone for free.
For example:
I have a iPhone 3GS which I got just over 2 weeks ago. I am on a £35 per month contract and I had to pay £180 for the iPhone, if I had got it on Pay & Go it would have cost me £580.

I have 10.7.5; wanting to upgrade to Mountain Lion

I have 10.7.5 on my MACBOOK;I am wanting to upgrade to Mountain Lion...but running into compatibility problems. Is there a fix?

No. If you don't meet the requirements for Mountain Lion then you are stuck with Lion.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard or Lion to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

I have ipad mini and want to upgrade to wi-fi outdoors.

I bought ipad mini Dec. 9th 2012 and want to upgrade to cellular ability. Can this be done. Apple store said I had 90 days to do this.

The iPads cannot be upgraded. If you bought a wifi only version then that's all you get.
There is a 14 day return period for Apple stores where you can return your product and get a full refund. If you did not do that in the allotted time period then there is nothing else to do except sell your current iPad and use the money from the sale to buy a new one with Cellular capability.

You need iTunes 10.7 or later.

I have a p6267c. Want to upgrade GPU and PSU. Help PLS

Hey guys. I need to upgrade my GPU and PSU. Please tell me some that are compatible for me to upgrade to.
I had these in mind,
GPU : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103194
PSU : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005
Will these fit?
Please reply fast! Thank you!

Fidanza, welcome to the forum.
It would help us if we knew what you do with the computer.
I like your choice of PSU's. Corsair makes a great product. You should measure the current PSU and compare the measurements to this one.
The specs on the video card don't give the dimensions. I suggest staying under 9" in length. This will help to assure that it will fit without problems. I like PNY, but they are more for everyday type projects; surfing, word processing, etc. If you want to game, I would suggest XFX, BFG, EVGA or Sapphire.

I have Motion 4, but want to upgrade to Motion 5; do I need to pay the $49.99?

I have Motion 4, but, need to upgrade to Motion 5. Question? Do I need to pay the $49.99 from the Apps store or is there just an upgrade option?

That sounds like a major paid upgrade, v4 to v5. Updates are free in the Mac App Store, v4.3 to v4.4. Upgrades are paid, if it is a paid app.

Mac OS X upgrades are designed so that none of your existing Applications or User data are intentionally deleted during a System Upgrade.
That works as long as there are no problems whatsoever.
Your best protection from data loss is good Backups. Before you upgrade, buy an External Drive at least 2 to 3 times the size of your User Data, and Turn on Time Machine. USB-2 enclosure drives are cheap, and fast enough for backups. If you will use this drive for everyday data, a faster interface would be much better.
Time Machine works quietly in the background, and does not "take over" your Mac to do the Backups. After the first large backup, it will quietly back up hourly, copying only the things that have changed since the last Backup. Time Machine is not the only Backup solution, or even the best solution out there. But it tends to be the Backup that actually happens, because you don't have to download any software, do extensive setup, or think about whether you should do it now or later.
