Is it possible to upgrade Robohelp 7 files to Robohelp 11?

Our team is currently using a old version of Robohelp and are looking to update it. We've looked at the pros and cons of Helpsmith, Doc-To-Help, Madcap Flare and, of course, Robohelp 11. If our version 7 files could easily be converted then Robohelp 11 would immediately jump to the top our of interest list.
Thanks,
Greg

LOL. Nobody is going to give you that and if they do, don't believe them. We don't have any way of knowing everything that you may have done in your project. As Rick has indicated you just have to create a backup and see what happens and with one exception, as the man says it should be that simple. Create your backup as a zipped file so that you cannot accidentally open it but you can keep extracting the content if you need to.
The exception might be lists. They changed in Rh8 and what you may need there is described on my site.

Do you know if it's possible to generate Word 2003 files from RoboHelp if we're using Office 2007 and RoboHelp 2007?

Do you know if it's possible to generate Word 2003 files from
RoboHelp if we're using Office 2007 and RoboHelp 2007? We are
thinking of upgrading, but have customers that would still require
Word 2003 formats because they won't have 2007 installed.
Thanks!

Hi NewtoRobohelp
Unfortunately I don't have Office 2007 in front of me to test
with. But I'm thinking that as long as Office 2007 still produces
the same formats as 2003, you could do it this way.
From RoboHelp 7 and using Office 2007, generate Printed
ouptut. Open said printed output in Office 2007 and perform a Save
As. Save the document as a RTF (Rich Text Format) document.
RTF is more universal. So I'm thinking this may be a possible
way around it. There is also the possibility that Word 2007 offers
up an ability when saving a file to save in an older format.
Cheers... Rick

Is it possible to save RoboHelp 7 files as .HXS files?

Is it possible to save RoboHelp 7 files as Microsoft Help 2.0 .HXS files for integration with MS development products, such as Visual Studio? If not in v7, then how about v8? Thank you.

Hi Brian
RoboHelp 7 or 8 does not understand Help 2. So the short answer here is no.
You might investigate FAR. I believe FAR will allow creating Help 2.

How to upgrade Robohelp X5 files to Robohelp 7 without broken links ?

How to upgrade Robohelp X5 files to Robohelp 7 without broken links ? And also i need proper procedure for migrating Robohelp X5 to Robohelp 7 that does not affect the system performance due to .cpd file.

Upgrading from 5 to 7 should be as simple as opening the project and I don't recall it giving any broken link problems. Is your project on your local drive rather than a network drive? Is source control involved?
What's the basis for thinking the CPD will cause performance issues?

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in the HP ENVY 17-j053ea?

Hi
I'm considering buying the HP ENVY 17-j053ea for use as a portable workstation for applications such as Max Design, autocad and photoshop as a second system for when I need to be away from the office but still need the ability to work.
This machine seems to have a lot of bang per buck and is more in line with my budget than a full on portable workstation.
As far as upgrade options I presume I could max out the ram at 16GB and put in an SSD as the main OS and application drive and use the main 1TB drive as the mass storage unit.
What I'm wondering is if it possible to upgrade the graphics card in this machine?
I don't imagine I would be attempting such an upgrade myself but assuming I leave it into a professional is this possible.
My worry is that with some of my heavier model files I could feel the limitations of the mid range portable gfx card onboard. I could probably live with it if it is not an option but just putting feelers out.

Thanks for the reply Paul
I see.
That doesn't sound feasible so.
I can manage the other 2 upgrades within my budget but things seem to get quite expensive on the higher end platforms very quickly.
It's my first foray into the laptop/workstation arena so I'm not that familiar yet with clever upgrade strategies.
I did have the use of this model for a few days and It is a really nice overall laptop, both aesthetically and value wise.

Is it possible to upgrade the OS without a working CD drive?

Hi,
I have an older Powerbook G4 running OS 10.3.9. It's still (mostly) working, and I've managed to get by without updating my OS, because I was told that it would compromise performance if I tried to update to OS 10.4 or later.
However, I just bought a lovely new iPhone 3GS, only to discover to my dismay that I can't synch it with my laptop without running OS 10.4.11.
I would be willing to compromise performance to be able to synch my iPhone and be able to use the contacts and calendar and iTunes, etc. on both devices.
But that leaves me with a bigger problem, which is that my laptop's CD/DVD drive died ages ago. Which really hasn't been a problem (I just use flash drives and an external hard-drive to transfer files, etc.). And it hasn't seemed worthwhile to fix it because the computer is so old, so I'm just trying to squeeze a bit more useful life out of it until I can afford to buy a new one. But now I imagine it probably means I'm unable to upgrade my OS.
Unless it's possible to do the upgrade some other way, which doesn't require using the CD drive?
And if it is possible to upgrade some other way, how much will performance be compromised? (It's a 1GHz PowerPC G4 (3.2) with a 1 MB L3 cache, and 1 GB SDRRAM, or so my "About This Mac" tells me!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could buy an external DVD drive. It needs to be firewire and bootable by Mac OS. If you have another PPC with firewire, you could try target Disk mode and installed tiger that way.

it is possible to enable and disable it as needed,
by entering the following commands into the terminal:

Is it possible to upgrade the ram and hard drive on the new retina after purchase ?

hi i was wondering if it was possible to upgrade my macbook pro retina display to a bigger ram and hard drive or will i be stuck with 8 gb of ram and 256 gb hard drive?

Sorry to say, you're stuck with it.
If however, you just got your Retina, you have a 14 Day return/exchange in case you want something with more memory and a larger flash drive.
Here's a suggestion - you'll be fine with 8GB since most people are still running on 4GB of RAM. Why not just buy an external drive and save your files there so you don't fill up your flash drive in your Retina.
Again, just a suggestion.

Is it possible to upgrade only one program from a suite?

For our company I need to make a plan for upgrading all systems to the same Indesign version. Two computers are on CS3, and two on CS5.
We have for all programs the Standard Suite. As we mostly work with Indesign, and the prices are such (in the Netherlands) that the full
upgrade will be above budget at this time. I already discovered that it is not possible to upgrade individual parts from a suite...
so that leaves us a little in a tight spot. What are our possibilities? The best way would be to purchase two 'old' CS 5 suites, as 5.5. is not
really needed.
I do think that a complete upgrade from CS5 to 5.5 is not justified, as you get identical Photoshop and Illustrator versions, and Acrobat X
is (as discovered after some trial runs) inferior to Acrobat 9.
There is currently a promotion on Adobe Netherlands, but that still leaves us to about 2000 euros... for 4 upgrades,
and at this moment this is just too much.
But come what may, next year the same song will be sung, and prices will not getting lower... ;(

Our company mostly uses CS3 still. Only two workstations have CS5 installed, and it took a lot of convincing to update those two macs ;(
Another issue that we only have two Intel-macs (we have two work-sites, so we have one in each) and the other macs are G5...
Our work consists mainly of getting PDF files and checking these for CTP. At my work-site we create more files or change them.
At the current crisis time our management is very very cautious to invest in new hardware and software. But I have warned them that the different and older versions will create more problems, and come what may; they will have to upgrade sooner or later.
Appreciate the answer, Bob! I am still learning DPS and Edge looks great!

Is it possible to upgrade to os x Mavericks?

I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lion.
I don't want to upgrade to Yosemite (because my top program wouldn't work properly)
Is it possible to upgrade to os x Mavericks, or is it too late?

But you can upgrade to Mountain Lion if you are eligible for Mavericks.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. 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?

Is it possible to upgrade from CS6 Extended version 13.0 x64 to the latest version?

Is it possible to upgrade from CS6 Extended version 13.0 x64 to the latest version?

There are three current version of CS6 perpetual versions Mac version 13.0.6 and Windows Version version 13.0.1.3 and there is a creative cloud sibscruption version 13.1.2.
If you running Windows on a 64Bit system and install Perpetual CS6 it would have installed at version 13.0.0 and the be updated to version 13.0.1.3. Both a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version of Photoshop would have been installed on your windows system. The 32 bit version will be in your windows "Program Files (x86)" tree anf the 64 bit version in the "Program Files" tree there should be two startup icon in the start button for starting CS6.
There would also be a 32 bit and 64 bit windows subscription version installed on windows.
Mac CS6 is 64bit only.

Possibility of upgrading server packets using MacPorts or Brew

Hello there.
There is Mac OS server 10.5.8 with Samba. Version of this Samba is 3.0.25b-apple.
There is problem with saving files from Excel2003 to Samba sharepoint and other small troubles.
This problem fixed in Samba 3.0.36 and last stable release of Samba is 3.5.4.
Does anyone know: is it possible to upgrade Mac OS Samba to newer version using MacPorts or Brew or someone else?
Thank you and excuse me for my dirty english.

I had found some possibility of that updating but it's not for real using in real life, it is for geek's experiments only.

Mac Pro's (early 2008) Back up plan towards a possible OS upgrade to Yosemite

Hello All. Here’re some of the details/background info…hopefully all this won’t be so annoying. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
I have 2 Mac Pro’s (Early 2008) 3,1 both running SL (10.6.8). One I have been using non-stop throughout these years, I’d call it MP 2008 (A). The other one once belong to a friend who actually bought it around the same time I purchased mine, only that he didn’t use it much and just recently decided to sell it to me. I’d call it MP 2008 (B). Both MP’s are very light on data on the main, boot HD, just applications,… as everything I work on is kept in external hard drives and backups. I do not usually download any third party stuff (only when strictly necessary for my work) and essentially it’s all about the software and applications (Adobe CS3 and LR 0.2) I need to do my pretty basic work.
All pretty old stuff by now, I know.
Following a couple of mishaps and lots of good advice in these forums, (thanks to the hatter, etc.) I went ahead and bought 16GB of RAM for both, and an NVidia Graphics Card (all from Amazon.com) for my MP 2008 (A) to replace it after it went bad, and everything has been working just fine. As you can tell, I have not tried to upgrade much, but rather keep everything stock and running as smoothly as possible.
I am afraid the next big, important thing I MUST do is back up my almost 6 years-old HD (I know, it should’ve been done long ago). Frankly, I have never done it before because I didn’t even know that could be possible…I learned about it right here, in this forum. In this sense, much I have also read (here) about the SSD option, and about how great of an upgrade that could be too, but I have decided to stick to the regular 3.5” for now. (I just recently found out those SSD even existed!). Hopefully, once I gain a bit of confidence on how this works I’ll jump into the SSD option, cards, etc. So, I purchased 2X 3.5” SATA III HD’s to try cloning my MP 2008 (A) boot, main HD and get this process over with.
QUESTIONS
QUESTION #1: After installing the internal hard drives in bays 2 and 3: Do I have to specifically format them in order to turn them into bootable copies? If so, how do I do that? I have read about using ‘Disk Utility’ to format external hard drives for this purpose but I don’t know if that would apply for internal hard drives as well.
QUESTION #2: What are the settings/features you all recommend I should select/or deselect on CCC so I can have exact, bootable copies of my original HD? No fancy stuff, advanced options, etc…just what I need to have good enough copies that just work.
QUESTION #3: How do I test them?
I noticed that under “System Preferences/System/Startup Disk” I can select the drive/system I want to use to start up my computer from. My question is:
QUESTION #4: Can I permanently choose any of the Mac Pro four (4) bays/bootable hard drives as the main drive/system for startup? I always thought I could only be done from the original, ‘main’ bootable drive in bay 1.
QUESTION #5: What if the copy fails? How do I go back to the HD that works or to the next copy, for that matter?
About my MP 2008 (B): In an effort to sell me his MP, my friend (as knowledgeable as I am) messed up something that delays the start up a lot. I noticed that in the finder, the applications appear double, etc., so I am not so happy with it. Even though the little house icon has his name in the finder, he was able to make me the Administrator for the machine (I don’t know how). But again, it starts up to the typical chime, then a gray screen for quite a loooong while, then the apple logo, then the loading animation…and theeennnn it starts…and no known issues from there. In other words, I am sure he messed something up there while transferring this machine to me and now its startup is so delayed.
QUESTION #6: Let’s say that both the bootable HD copies I created on my MP 2008 (A) work fine: Can I take one out and install it in my MP 2008 (B) and eventually turn it into my startup drive and work from there too? Will this eventually lead to conflicting stuff? (Two machines, same identical cloned start up drive??).
Eventually, the plan is that I learn how to do all this so I can move on and upgrade with a clean install of Yosemite pretty soon.
Hopefully, both my Mac Pro’s 2008 A and B will last me a bit more and I can get to squeeze a few more seasons from them. They are awesome machines!
As you can tell, in theory I might have a little bit of a clue, but all is in the details. If you don’t mind, please shed some light on this process I am about to begin…thanks a bunch!

Thank you!

Re: Mac Pro's (early 2008) Back up plan towards a possible OS upgrade to Yosemite in response to Juan Huerta
All new drives need to be partitioned GUID and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled before they can be used.
OK, is that an option I'll be prompted to by the OS or do I have to "tell" that to...Disk Utilities (?)
If cloning is your purpose then use Disk Utility's Restore option. It will clone the drives and their Recovery HD partitions automatically.
I didn't know that Disk Utility had an option for cloning a bootable drive...is it better than CCC? (I have used neither one) I really would like to save $40 and avoid downloading additional software/applications...please if you don't mind...what option would that be once I click on "Disk Utility"? If you know of a good link or reliable article on the topic that will work for me too.
Test a clone be trying to boot the computer from it.
Any bootable drive in any bay can be used to boot the computer. Use Startup Drive preferences to set the desired boot volume.
Erase the target and try again.
But if the computer fails to start because I didn't create a good copy, how do I go back? Keyboard shortcuts? I keep reading that a wired keyboard must be used...and that's scary. If that's true, could I hook up any of my Windows based keyboards via USB?
Erase the drive and install OS X. You cannot use any software installed by the prior owner that was purchased via the App Store including OS X. You must start from scratch. (this actually is 5B rather than item 6.)
Well, he created an Admin account for me and I have been handling updates and everything with the new password he created for me. I wonder if I could access the Apple Store with my ID though...it's all under my name in that computer though, so I figure that at the Apple Store I'd just enter my ID...I guess, I have not tried that yet
Yes.

HT201361 Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop. How can I change the folder?

Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop (that is the default). How can I change the destination folder? Thank you, Sal

To change the screenshot capture location to a new place on your Mac, first think of a location that would serve you properly. We like to place ours in a "Screenshot" folder located inside of the User's "Pictures" folder. To change the location to this new location, open the Terminal and enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/[u]/Pictures/Screenshots/
Replace "[u]" with the name of the user on your system. Once you have entered this command, let's restart the screen capture utility by restarting the SystemUIServer by entering the following command:
killall SystemUIServer
You can optionally log out and back in instead of entering this second command, thus restarting the SystemUIServer. Once restarted, all screen captures taken from here on out will end up in your /Pictures/Screenshots/ folder in the User's home folder on your Mac.
