Is there a way to do a complete PC restore for windows vista home premium?

I have a pavilion dv6871us with windows vista 32 bit with vista home premium. I have lost my wireless adapter and nothing I have tried works to get it back. I've tried restoring my system back to another date and that will not work. I was going to do a complete pc restore but read that vista home premium does not have that included. Is there any way I can restore my laptop back to factory defaults?

Hi:
You can give the procedure in the video at the link below a try.

If you can't get the adapter to work unnistalling it and reinstalling it, you may have to order a set of recovery disks for your PC.

Completely uninstall Quicktime Pro 7 for Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

I am trying to uninstall my Quicktime Pro 7 registration, and to not ever see it again in control panel (classic view).
Unfortunately, there is a visible registrationcode shown for Quicktime Pro 7(somehow, it simply detected that I had Final Cut Pro installed at one point and automatically registered).
I cannot figure out how delete Quicktime Pro, via the control panel and registry, and make it go away. Please advise.

thanks ... I see now from your other post that you're probably getting either a "missing QuickTime.msi" message or being told that a "newer version of QuickTime" is installed when you try to go ahead and uninstall QuickTime after you're told about the Key?
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Is there a way to install Adobe Acrobat XI Standard for Windows on Mac?

Dear Acrobat Support Team!
I bought a Fujitsu Scanner with Adobe XI Standard.
Unfortunately, the software is only for PC and I am a Mac user. Is there a way for me to use this software or serial key on my Mac?
Thank you very much, ShuretzZ

Only by running Windows (Boot Camp or Parallels Desktop). You'd also have to buy a copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8.

Is there ANY form of PhotoShop software that I can buy/download onto my Windows Vista Home Premium computer?

I am well aware adobe does not usually support Vista. However, I need PhotoShop to continue my work off campus while on an internship. I honestly don't care if it's CC or elements, but I need some program that lets me edit photos. I don't want to jump the gun though and buy some CD or download software that ends up not compatible. I apologize if this is an odd request. If someone asks me why I still have Vista, the answer is basically this:
1) This is a 5-6 year old computer and that's the program it came with at the time (and that I'm used to)
2) As a university student, my biggest fear of switching over to Windows 7 or 8 is that they are not "user friendly" as some people have put (again, student here so the LAST thing I want is to not be able to find all my documents again...my Dad is currently having this problem with Windows 8)
3) I'm not too keen on upgrading to Windows 7 or 8 UNLESS it's a last resort AND I don't have to copy everything on my computer onto a hard-drive and then move it back over after upgrading (I'm not that tech savy so I'm afraid I will mess something up)
I apologize again if this sounds strange or anxious of me, but I really would like to continue helping the faculty at my school buy working on this project (they're already dealing with issues of setting up the MAC there to work with the new website). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

If you don't mind Photoshop Elements, here are Adobe's Vista notes.

I have resorted my phone, used the spring clean app - none of these work, Have I saved this number somewhere else but I just can't get to it?

You got the new iphone????? I have same problem. I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was). Have you found a solution????? I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked.

I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad, but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself. Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Is there any way to have a COMPLETE list of all samples and loops ( Logic 8

I'm sure it's been posted previously, but anyway, I'm looking to buy new Apple Loops libraries and I have faced the fact , that many of the sounds and loops produced by third parties manufacturers have been already included in Logic installation discs.
I have a list of Apple Loops DVD's that have been included with Logic somewhere, the problem is, Apple didn't post ( I believe) the credits of all 3rd party manufacturers that have produced these libraries that are included with Logic or Garage band. Is there any way to have a COMPLETE list of all samples and loops that are included with Apple DAW's so I wouldn't duplicate anything ? I'm pretty much positive that Apple had other companies to sound design and sample all libraries for them, so is there also a way to have a list of those manufacturers? Again, the objection is to start upgrading the sound library without any possible duplication?
Thanks in advance!

Chris, I certainly don't mind additional questions and postings.
I believe there are many issues with Apple Loops and Logic that need to be resolved and people need to be aware of that. Unfortunately, in opposite to the old "german" version of Logic , there's no lifetime tech support, you can't even call and ask the question after 60 days , which isn't right for a professional software of this level, especially considering the fact that many things still remain vague in Logic even for developers and tech support people!( believe me, I've called and asked!)
Issues like that need to be resolved over the phone with the company, period!
One thing I also learned over the years as a Mac OSX user, if something doesn't work, don't mess with it. Delete your drive and re-install everything. This is very frustrating , I know, but unfortunately this is the only way to deal with OSX issues, if you got a problem with your system, don't try to fix it. It's never gonna be the same again. I know , it's off the topic a little bit, but if your content is missing from the system files, before installing your new Logic, back up your important files, wipe up your drive and clean install Mac OSX , run updates and then install the Logic. Most likely , everything will be in it's place, at least 90% or more. I gave up trying to make two system in my house to be compatible 100% , but it's OK if they're 90% or more identical. I spent enormous amount of time trying to find out what's missing and where, I visited most of the forums and there's no clean answer.

Is there a way to export an iTunes playlist from a windows XP pc and import on an iMac?

I have a PC running Windows XP that I've had for many years. I just got an iMac and want to make that my main music source for syncing iPods, playing,music in the house, etc. I have a lot of playlists on the old PC that I want to move over to the iMac and I don't have to rebuild them all by hand. Is there a way to export the original playlists from the Windows PC and import them to the iMac since the file systems are different? Thanks.

The problem really is that one person has InDesign and the other has Photoshop.
The workflow is images from photoshop are placed in Photoshop.
Not the layout from InDesign is placed in photoshop.
That's how the software is designed to work.
What people are saying is that Photoshop cannot work this way in dealing with layouts, it's a nightmare and will give you terrible results and cost you time and effort when updating things in Photoshop, it has all the makings of a Final Destination movie, particularly in the area of the later sequels.
But let's not get hung up on those franchises.
If the person needs to edit an Indesign file and can't afford the full cost of InDesign then there are other workarounds:
1. If it's just text
If all they are doing is updating text then you can use File>Export>Rich Text Format from a selection of text, this will make a Word version of the text that they can edit. You can then use File>Import and import the RTF that is edited.
2. You can use InCopy
This is a viable solution for editors that need to see the text in the Layout Format, but it hasn't got all the bells and whistles of InDesign, but it works in tangent with InDesign, it's not as pricey as InDesign and it also allows you to lock out editors from editing certain parts or moving things within the layout. And it can update your InDesign file on the fly.
3. You can use Rorohikos Story Tweaker
http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/2009/03/25/storytweakertextedits/
There are workarounds that you can find for people that don't have InDesign. It's just that the Photoshop workflow isn't a viable solution in any sense.
For example, I have my layouts proofed in PDF format, where the proofreader adds Comments to the PDF. It works for our workflow as I'm the one editing the only file in existence.
But to go from InDesign to Photoshop is a complete waste of time and effort on everyone's part. There is no need to go that route, there's no reason, there's no point.

Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow

Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow
I need to set it today because there are tasks that is needed to be completed on the same day.
Is there a way without modifying the page/form. like a configuration or something?
----------------------- Sharepoint Newbie

Hi ,
As Ajeet said, for implement your requirement, you can change the data validation on the Due data field.
You can do as the following :
Open the site with SharePoint Designer 2010
Click on Workflows on the left launch, then find ‘Approval-SharePoint 2010’, click on it
On the Forms section, click ‘ReviewApproval_***.xsn’
Then you can find Due Data for All Tasks, and change the validation
In addition, if you create an approval workflow with SharePoint Designer, you can use a specific date, it contains hour and minute.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Use 3rd party apps like Photo Manager Pro.

I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode. Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed. I forget what those tests were called.
I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides.

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
Thank you in advance.

FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.

I have an iTunes account with my own music library. My wife wants to have her own music library. Is there a way of setting up a sub account for her, or do I have to set of husband playlists and a separate set of wife playlists?

Sorry, but that's not possible.
You can share iTunes libraries on a network > iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer

Is there a way to view the timecode in iMovie for Mac?

Is there a way to view the timecode in iMovie for Mac? This is such a basic feature needed for editing; I can't believe it wouldn't be available. Am I missing something?

Do the math means you know the timecode at the beginning of each clip and when you mouse over a transition or clip you know the clip length. If you trim the clip you see how much you are trimming. With these numbers you can caulate the cursor position or find the timecode value at any frame in the clip. I am not saying it is an elegant process by any means, but if you really need to, this will work. Obviously it is a grievius situation Apple has left us in regarding timecode.

Is there a way to force my Mac to rescan for a harddrive?

The hard drive I use for Time Machine sometimes won't remount after plugging it back in to the Firewire port on my Macbook Pro. If I open disk utility it's not even acknowledged as being connected. The only way I've found to get it to remount is to pull the power cord on the hard drive and then plug the power back in (while the firewire is connected the entire time). The hard drive will mount then. The hard drive is a Seagate Freeagent Xtreme 1TB. The drive is seeing when it is connected to the computer because it will power up once it's connected. Is there a way to force the computer to rescan for connected drives? Is there a terminal command or something in Disk Utility that I'm missing?
Thanks

Serials are platform specific, so no, you cannot use it directly. A platform swap would be required.
