In converting from Win XP PC w/Ffx 28.0 to a new Win 8 PC, is Ffx 28.0 the v. to retain? If not, then which v. and when/where to install during conversion?

I will be converting from my 9-yr-old PC with Win. XP to a new PC with Win. 8. My Control Panel program list tells me my old PC is running Firefox 28.0 (x86 en-US). I need to be sure that Firefox 28.0 is your latest version and is the one I should move over to my new PC (there seem to be so many versions out there that it is confusing...in one place you say version 17 is the one to use). If I do need to install another Firefox version, I would need to know which one, and whether it should be installed on the old computer first, before changing PCs, or somewhere else in the in the conversion sequence, i.e., on the new PC first before (or after?) transferring everything else from the old PC. I plan to transfer to the new PC using free LapLink software offered to us current XP users through a Microsoft/LapLink agreement.

Yes, Firefox 28 is the current release for Windows XP and higher.
I'm not exactly sure how Laplink works, but assuming it transfers all of your Windows user profile data, then it should bring your Firefox data over to your new computer. You can confirm by checking here on both computers and comparing what you see:
(paste into Start > Run or WinButton+r): %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\
In particular, make sure Laplink copied over the profiles.ini file and the Profiles folder and its subfolders.
I suggest copying the data over first, then installing Firefox. In that case, when you install Firefox it should automatically find your data and you'll be up and running. If you install Firefox first, then you will have to take a few extra steps to get your old data in.

    I downloaded the Airport Utility 5.6 for OS X Lion and when I finish installing it sends a message that says "the instalation failed contact your software provider" And seems like thats the solution so I can use my time capsule.
    Thanks

    Thanks. Please review my post above to see that we asked five basic questions.
    Looks like we got two answers.
    Can you please provide answers to the other questions that we asked?
    1)  Are you trying to connect your Time Capsule to your modem using an Ethernet cable?
    2)  What is the make and model number of your modem?
    3)  Are you still using Lion (10.7.5) as you indicate in your profile, or have you updated to Mountain Lion or Mavericks?
    I understand that things appear clear to you there, but we cannot read your mind or see your network, so we only know as much about your problem and your network as you can tell us.

    i just tried to install the 11.4 update (or whichever one is the most recent update as of 1/26/2014) and when it failed i tried to install manually and now whenever i try to use it, i get the following error: "The application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Right after i click ok i then get this error: "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I tried to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall the 11.03 version but that didnt work either. I want to know if i copy all of the music in my itunes folder to an external without consolidating can i still transfer all my itunes music from my current windows xp pc to a brand new one and have my current itunes library in my new pc? Basically i just want to know 3 things: What exactly does consolidating the itunes library do? Can i copy, paste, and transfer my itunes library to an external and from there to a new pc? Will i be able to transfer my itunes library without consolidating the files?

    I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed.  It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4).  Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html   The previous version works beautifully.

    Thanks.  I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
    Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
    Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
    Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
    It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
    Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data.  Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
    Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

    You will also have to copy the iPod backup file to the new computer and then restore your iPod from backup using that backup. The file is located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory
    You can also  make a backup on the new computer by conneting the iPod and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting BackUp. When you retore from backup sometime the app folder structure get messed up.

  • I'm try to buy a movie from iTunes with my I pad 3 and it tells me there is not enough local storage and when I go to my local storage there is a lot on free storage I also restarted my ipad but still the same prob what do I do?

    5GB is typically not enough space to download a movie.  Often, movies take from 3 - 5 GB to begin with.  The only option you have is to delete more things from your iPad.  You can remove unused Apps, pictures, music, text message (messages with pictures can take up a lot of space), email messages, books, magazines etc.

    Does your printer have a slot for an SD card?  Is there are card in the slot?  If so, the computer is trying to mount that card as an external device.  It might be corrupted so that it can't be read.
