Is there an upgrade option to Windows 7 for existing Vista notebooks?

Toshiba are currently offering upqrades to Win 7 for purchaseers of *NEW* machines with Vista.
What is Toshiba policy for users of *existing* machines with Vista? Will Toshiba provide an OEM upgrade/replacement route or will I have to buy Win 7 commercially?
If I buy and install Win 7, will it invalidate the Toshiba guarantee?
Will Toshiba support continue for a machine upgraded to Win 7, or will OS support be 'transferred' to MS? What will happen if there is some hardware problem, and MS say '+contact your manufacturer+' and Toshiba say '+contact your OS supplier+'?
Toshiba provide a number of tools for mainainting the machine (drivers etc.). Will these be supported/available under Win 7?
many thanks

Hello guys
Can we please end this never-ending discussion with some facts?
The situation with driver support is always the same and similar by almost all notebook manufacturers. The same situation was with Vista in the past.
Official Win7 will starts when the first Toshiba notebook come on the market preinstalled with Win7. On Toshiba support page first drivers, tools and utilities will be offered for these new laptops. In next few months Toshiba will offer more and more drivers for old notebook models. I hope you can understand that all this cannot be done over night and for all notebook models at the same time. all these drivers must be adapted and tested. It takes a time.
The question is how many old models will be Win7 supported. This question can nobody answer but I think models produced last year should be fully supported. Lets see.
So I think this with Win7 is clear now.
About warranty you don't need Toshiba but just to check some threads on this forum. It is answered, I believe, 100 times. On your notebook you can install what do you want. It will NOT cancel your valid warranty. Preinstalled OS has nothing to do with warranty. You can install WXP, Linux whatever you want.
More questions?

If you want to use the email address that you used on the first account then you will need to remove it from that first account before you can do so e.g. via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's or via http://appleid.apple.com - you can create a new email address via http://gmail.com or http://hotmail.com to replace it with.

The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account. If you hadn't put one on your account (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

If apple bring out a new ipad after i purchase, is there an upgrade option available?

if i was to buy an ipad 2 today and in a months time the ipad 3 came out, would apple provide an upgrade option to upgrade to the new one??

They have never done so in the past, and I doubt that they would in the future. All that you've been able to do with Apple is return it for a full refund if it was within the returns timescale, and then buy a new one instead

Is there an upgrade option from FCP 7 Suite?

Is there an upgrade price for FCP X, Motion and Compressor? I just spent almost $1000 on the Suite a couple months ago.

There is no upgrading from FCS to FCP X. This is a completely new application. If you install it will bundle the FCS apps into a folder and install separately. Also, you cannot open FCS/FCP projects in FCP X. Prices are as stated in the appstore.

This may be a dumb question but is there an upgrade to RH 9 for Word?

We bought RH for windows in 2012. It came with the HTML version 9 and Robo Help for Word 8...which must have been upgraded in the background to RH 9 for Word, because that is what is now showing in "About RoboHelp" and that is not what was originally showing. Is there a RH for Word 10? We have two projects that will not convert nicely to HTML, lost a ton of external links, so for those I have to stick to RH for Word. If there is a 10 we might be interested in getting so I can use Word 10.

Rh9 did not ship with Rh for Word 8. The numbers have always matched.
Rh9 shipped with RoboHelp for Word 9. Rh10 shipped with RoboHelp for Word 10. Those numbers relate to the Rh version by the way so it's not clear what you mean when you refer at the end to Word 10. Do you mean Word 2010.
There were very few changes other than Word version compatability.
As Rh11 stopped shipping with RoboHelp for Word, you may have to bite the bullet and find out why the external links break. I wonder if creating a CHM from RoboHelp for Word and then reverse engineering that into Rh HTML might work? See Reverse Engineering on my site.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

Are there Java upgrade options available? Java 1.4.2 support soon ending.

Hi.
I support Release 1 and Release 2 Enterprise installations and see that the 1.4.2 version of Java.exe exists within both products.
Are there any plans to issue updates which will bring Business Objects XI releases to supported versions of their Java components?
Thanks.

3.0 shipps with JVM/JRE 1.6 I believe. As of XIR2 SP3 I think 1.6 is also supported for most if not all our enterprise products. You may need to upgrade and I'm not sure of the steps as another team deals with these issues. We also support JDK 1.5 in all products past XIR2 SP2. Again 3.0 ships with this and XIR2 has to be upgraded.

Tim

Is there ANY way to install windows (for parallels) WITHOUT a superdrive?

I have Parallels (build 5600) and Win XP running fine on my iMac.
I want to run it on my MBA, too.
I have successfully installed Parallels (on a new trial license for now), and when I went to install Windows, learned that it can't be done via Remote Disk.
I'd really rather not spend $100 on an external drive JUST for this purpose.
Can I make a disk image of the windows disk?
Or connect to the imac in target disk mode (or something?!) to use THAT drive?
Or... can I somehow just copy my "virtual machine" from the imac to the MBA? Not sure if that will cause windows serial number police to freak, though...
Glancing through a quick search here, it seems it's possible to migrate the virtual machine. But what files, exactly, do I need to migrate? Just the .hdd file?
I'd prefer to do a nice clean install from the CD, but I don't know if that's possible.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Ok, I may have answered my own question.
I am copying my Virtual Machine from my imac, but it will take a long time to copy, and takes 10gb of space, so trying that is a last resort.
in the meantime I found this on the parallels site. Looks like you CAN use a disk image. I'm going to try it now- fingers crossed!

I'm using Macbook Air and cannot install Windows to Parallels Virtual Machine by means of CD/DVD drive “borrowing” feature. What should I do?
RESOLUTION
Unfortunately Macbook Air CD/DVD drive “borrowing” feature doesn’t support direct media streaming and thus cannot be used to install Windows (or any other Guest OS ) to Parallels Virtual Machine. To install a Windows VM on Macbook Air you can either create an .iso image of Windows installation disk on some other computer with CD/DVD drive and copy it to Mac or use an external CD/DVD drive that Apple offers for Macbook Air.
Please refer to this article for the instructions on how to create an .iso image for Parallels VM on Mac - http://kb.parallels.com/entry/32/458/

Have downloaded upgraded FF but window for dragging icon to Applications never appears so process cannot be completed.

Have switched from Safari to FF recently but was warned this computer is using older version susceptible to invasion so downloaded new version. Cannot get it into Applications or activate it as the new form of FF.

* Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.

Windows 7 upgrade option update (Microsoft and Lenovo

All:
Edit: Lenovo link added

Here's the information from Microsoft about the update program. Hopefully there will be an announcement soon from .... hardware vendors
Announcing the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program & Windows 7 Pricing – Bring on GA!
http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/06/25/announcing-the-windows-7-upgrade-option...
As Brad discussed in the video, today we’re announcing details for the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, pricing, and a special pre-order offer for select markets.
But first, I want to talk a little bit more about GA and the worldwide availability of Windows 7. We’ve really focused a lot of our efforts on getting the product out to as many people around the world as quickly as possible. OEMs will start shipping PCs with Windows 7 in all language versions beginning on GA, October 22nd.
And for our retail software, we’ve made significant strides in terms of timing. Gone are the days when it could take months for all language versions to be available. In fact – we’ve narrowed the gap to just over ONE week!
On October 22nd, Windows 7 will be available in the following 14 languages: English, Spanish, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Chinese (Hong Kong).
Then on October 31st, the remaining 21 languages will become available: Turkish, Czech, Portuguese, Hungarian, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Greek, Ukrainian, Romanian, Arabic, Lithuanian, Bulgarian, Estonian, Slovenian, Hebrew, Thai, Croatian, Serbian Latin, and Latvian.
Windows 7 truly is a global release and I’m excited to be able to tell my international friends that when I say Windows 7 will be available for the holidays – I mean everywhere in the world.
But, you don’t have to wait until GA to get a new Windows PC. In fact, we know many people need that new PC sooner – for back to school specifically. And we have the answer for people who need a new PC now but still want to get Windows 7 and that’s the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, which kicks off tomorrow, June 26th! Anyone who buys a PC from a participating OEM or retailer with Windows Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate on it will all receive an upgrade to the corresponding version of Windows 7 at little or no cost to customers. The Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program will be available until January 31st, 2010 – and is global! For more information on taking advantage of the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, visit www.windows.com/upgradeoffer.
Another one of the most common questions I get is: how much will Windows 7 cost? Well, today we’re sharing these details.
For Windows 7, we are reducing the price on our most popular retail product for customers, the Home Premium Upgrade, by approximately 10% (depending on the market). In the U.S., this means a customer buying Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade will pay only $119.99 instead of the $129.99 being charged today for its predecessor.
Overall, customers will be paying less and getting more with Windows 7. This includes fun new features such as HomeGroup, Device Stage, Aero Shake, Snap, Peek, Jump Lists and our completely redesigned Windows Taskbar (one of my favorite new features in Windows 7 today). These new features make your PC simpler and much easier to use.
So here’s the low-down on pricing for Windows 7. The estimated retail prices for upgrade packaged retail product of Windows 7 in the U.S. are:
Windows 7 Home Premium (Upgrade): $119.99
Windows 7 Professional (Upgrade): $199.99
Windows 7 Ultimate (Upgrade): $219.99
And the estimated retail prices for full packaged retail product of Windows 7 in the U.S. are:
Windows 7 Home Premium (Full): $199.99
Windows 7 Professional (Full): $299.99
Windows 7 Ultimate (Full): $319.99
This means that Windows 7 Home Premium full retail product is $40.00 less than Windows Vista Home Premium today.
As Brad describes in the video, for Europe, we will not have a separate upgrade SKU for the packaged retail product versions of Windows 7 at GA. But we will be offering upgrade pricing on our full licenses to make sure that European customers who want to upgrade have the pricing options available in the rest of the world.
Finally, as a way of saying thank you to our loyal Windows customers, we are excited to introduce a special time limited offer! We will offer people in select markets the opportunity to pre-order Windows 7 at a more than 50% discount. In the US, this will mean you can pre-order Windows 7 Home Premium for USD $49.99 or Windows 7 Professional for USD $99.99. You can take advantage of this special offer online via select retail partners such as Best Buy or Amazon, or the online Microsoft Store (in participating markets).
This program begins tomorrow in the U.S., Canada and Japan. The offer ends July 11th in the U.S. and Canada and on July 5th for Japan or while supplies last. Customers in the UK, France and Germany, can pre-order their copy of Windows 7 starting July 15th and will run until August 14th (or supplies last) to ensure folks don’t miss out on this. Act fast if you want to be the first in line to get Windows 7 at this screaming deal! Note: The special low pre-order price will vary per country.
For more information on this special pre-order offer,
I am really excited to be sharing these Windows 7 announcements with you today. Because of the great feedback we received from you, we are confident we are poised to deliver a great product this fall!

Having purchased my Thinkpad T500 two weeks ago, I'll be a little miffed if I am not eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 7. However, my pain will be eased a little by the TechNetPlus subscription that will allow me to download and install the RTM bits sometime in mid-to-late July.
I really do think Microsoft continues to miss the boat on their retail OS and Office pricing. Keep Windows between $50 and $100, and Office $75 to $150 and you're going to have loads of people buying instead of seeking out ways to not pay for it.

It only happens for me on pages where I've allowed some Flash element to play (I have Flashblocker) such as a YouTube video.

I need to work in CMYK mode. Is there an upgrade available for the elements owner?

I purchased photoshop elements 12 a few months ago and now need to print to a cmyk printer. Is there an upgrade option I can purchase or download to work in cmyk mode?

CMYK mode is not supported in Photoshop Elements.

MediaSource sub-windows for Album/Artist/Genre have gone

My wife's Zen Micro (2--02) doesn't seem able to have its music organised by Creative MediaSource Explorer.
I'm sure that MediaSource used to display not only the tracks but had little sub-windows where you could select Album, Artist or Genre and get all the tracks associated with your choice.
However, all that I get now is a list of filenames. OK, I can click on these to get the next folder level which seems to be the album name, then further click to get to the track(s).
What I can't do is get the thing to list all tracks or all albums or all genres. It's just hopeless.
MediaSource, as I say, used to show little sub-windows when I had my Zen Xtra but now my wife's Zen Micro's been added and everything upgraded, these sub-windows for Album and Artist do not appear as they do in the illustration with the blurb...not even with my Zen Xtra.
Further, the Zen Micro doesn't seem to have a list of selected tracks like my Xtra does. The help files seem to refer to one but I'm blowed if I can find it, either via my PC or via the player's own display.
How do you see what's coming up next to play?
Everything's upgraded to the latest using Auto update and I re-loaded the f/w.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, please?

In the bar above the list of tracks there should be a Find box. Next to this is a View button, next to that is a small downward triangle which, when clicked, allows you to select Genre, Album, Artist. Play around with those 2 buttons and you should be able to get back the view you want.
To view the selected tracks click on View in the menu bar and then choose Now Playing Window.
