I may have confused you: Lenovo provides two tools, 1) one makes DVDs that restore the original out-of-the-box factory image of the entire disk (i.e. System partition, C: + Q: partitions) and 2) Backup and Restore, which is the Lenovo user backup tool that does conventional full disk backups, i.e. with all user customizations, added programs and files. Since my system-generation-to-SSD saga hadn't created the the Q: partition correctly, my only alternative was to create a full up-t-date disk backup with the second Backup and Restore tool that include all the Windows + Lenovo updates, but didn't include extra programs and my user files. This fitted on 5 DVDs, which I will use if ever I reinstall the entire operating system.
Once you get above 100-150 GB of backup volume (I'm at 450 GB right now), the Lenovo Backup and Restore is very slow, so I use the much quicker Windows built-in Backup and Restore program to backup incrementally a system image and all files.

  • I have an older I Mac operating system 10.6.8 and want to upgrade.  I've been told that the only upgrade available for my machine is 10.7.5.  On what website can I find this upgrade or how do I find this upgrade on the Apple website?

    I have an older I Mac operating system 10.6.8 and want to upgrade.  I've been told that the only upgrade available for my machine is 10.7.5.  On what website can I find this upgrade or how do I find this upgrade on the Apple website?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

    I just bought a Mac Book Pro and the Appstore show one upgrade of iPhoto (9.2.1). I started a section with my Apple ID (the account that I have I use to iTunes) but when I try to update it says that there are upgrades available for other accounts and that I have to upgrade using the account that I used to buy iPhoto. What do I have to do to upgrade iPhoto?

    What is the "software upgrade" available for the OS X 10.5.8?

    Here is a link to buy Snow Leopard, but you need to wait to use it because the Apple Store is being updated, probably because of the meeting Apple has called for today.

  • Is it true that I can trade in my iPhone 4s (with an upgrade available) for a $200 gift card to put toward the 6? If so, I used my upgrade and paid $130 yesterday and ordered a 5s. Can I send it back once it comes in the mail and get my money and upgrade

    That's correct kayraypole! For our upgrade eligible customers, we have a deal that you can trade in any iPhone for a $200 Verizon Wireless gift card. Here's a link so you can check it out, www.trade-in.vzw.com. If you already upgraded & you are within 14 days of purchase then you can return the 5s, restocking fee may be applicable, and take advantage of this promo. How awesome is that!
    Thank you...

  • Any upgrades available for Mac OSX 10.5.8?????

    are ther any upgrades available for download for Mac OSX 10.5.8????

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Mac OS X 10.5.8 is Leopard. Mac OS X Leopard was launched in 2007 and is now discontinued, so Apple isn't releasing more updates for it.
    Your only option is to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, if your Mac is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 You can buy it in the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • Central Admin shows "Upgrade Available" for both servers. Have tried many fixes.

    We have a client with two SharePoint 2013 servers. Servers in Farm (Central Admin, System Settings) shows config DB version is 15.0.4551.1001 and both WFE and APP server show status "Upgrade Available"
    I'm familiar with this and it typically means that the configuration wizard needs to be run. However I'm having a hard time resolving the message in this instance.
    Steps taken so far:
    IISRESET on both servers
    Attempted to run configuration wizard on both servers (several times). Appears to complete successfully but CA still shows upgrade available.
    Ran "PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force" on both servers.
        -Both return error "Exception: Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPUpdatedConcurrencyException: An update conflict has occurred, and you must re-try this action."
        -PSCDiagnostics log file does not seem to shed any light on the issue
    cleared SharePoint configuration cache on both servers
    IISRESET
    Ran PSConfig command again; no change
    Other information:
    stsadm -o localupgradestatus shows no updates needed for either server
    In Powershell, if I use get-spserver and check the properties of each server, I find the following:
    NeedsUpgrade: True for WFE, False for APP
    CanUpgrade: False for WFE, True for APP
    I haven't found much info on that CanUpgrade property.
    Anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Tommy

    SharePoint runs the Products Version Job once every 24 hours, which should take care of this issue. But sometimes you need to force it (especially if the job just never ran, or was cancelled, etc.).

  • Dolby Digital Live upgrade availability for SB Audigy us

    Hello everyone,
    We understand SB Audigy users are eagerly anticipating the Dolby Digital Li've upgrade availability. We are still working on the development. Unfortunately, the work requires more time than anticipated earlier due to the difference in the Audigy product architecture vs the X-Fi product architecture as well as testing required to ensure stable and correct functionality. We estimate Dolby Digital upgrade for Audigy to be available in late Dec 2008. We apologize for the delay and are trying our best to release earlier if possible.
    Thank you,
    The Sound Blaster Team

    Dear Sound Blaster Audigy users,
    Dolby Digital Li've For Audigy users!
    We are pleased to announce that the http://buy.soundblaster.com at US$4.72.
    Please check out the website for more information on how to make the upgrade for your card.
    Thank you,
    The Sound Blaster Team.

  • Sorry, this update isn't available for your PC" while upgrading to Windows 8.1from 8

    Hi,
    I have been encounting this problem from the time i tried to upgrade my laptop or at the time 8.1 was launched .
    I never reinstalled the operating system it is the way it came preinstalled by HP, windows is also 100% updated at the time of posting.
    Product name: HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC
    Serial number: [Personal Information Removed]
    Product number: E3B56PA#ACJ
    Windows 8 Single Language 64-bit 
    Now the problem : When i click Upgrade to 8.1 on the Microsoft site it takes me to the Store where i get the below message.
    I contacted Microsoft Support and with the help of Logmein they took control of my PC and after the check conformed this is a problem of Volume Licensing .
    Now i would like to know how to get this problem solved as this was HP's fault and not mine . 

    I would like to help you, but comments like "Iam sorry to say but its of no use.." without specifics and detailing what you have checked are not helpful.
    You have to be communicatively proactive and helpful for this to be a succesful and two-way troubleshooting event.
    Have you looked to verify that the updates required to enable an update to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 are present in your operating system?
    Others have faced this issue. They have gotten past it  and updated to Windows 8 by verifying and updating their Windows 8 OS, as decribed in the Microsoft  article.  I had the same issue with one of my laptops.
    I also notice that the browser tool that the lithium forum uses has detected that you are using Windows 8.1. Is this the same notebook with Windows 8 you are asking for help with?

  • What is the max  os upgrade available for power mac g5 w/powerpc processor

    What is the max one can upgrade the os on a powerpc power mac g5

    Hi, 10.5.8...
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)

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

    CMYK mode is not supported in Photoshop Elements.

  • Where is Lion 10.7 upgrade available for download?

    Need a link to download Lion 10.7 upgrade.  Nothing else.  Don't need a later version.  Really don't need anyone to ask me why or other half assed questions. 
    All the previous support messages from the community are wrong on this topic. People get the error message: "This update requires Mac OS X 10.7"
    Lion 10.7 is not with the rest of the updates online (only 10.7.1 up) so don't recommend a search. 
    It's not in the App Store, so don't recommend going there.  Only the latest version of Lion is in the App Store.
    There is no retail version available to buy online that I can find. 
    Maybe I'll go to the "genius" bar (that's a stretch) and about 15 dollars worth of gas.
    The Lion 10.7.4 combo (which I just bought) DOES NOT INSTALL otherwise on 10.6.8 (which I also just bought).
    Thank you Apple, for probably the most INEPT product release in Apple history: Lion 10.7
    (I have 6 Apple computers in my house)  This is one that got left behind and needs upgrading.  That's all.  Shouldn't be this hard.  Except it's Apple.

    You have to purchase it from the Mac App store, the Mac has to be running OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or greater to access it. Lion IS NOT a free upgrade, the cost is $29.99. It will ONLY download the most up-to-date version of Lion which is currently 10.7.4.
    Also had you bothered to read the Terms of Use of this forum you would have seen this is NOT a place to rant and you are NOT communicating directly to Apple. If you have Lion on your other system and and the machine that does not have Lion installed is using the same Apple ID then go to then click the Purchased tab in the App Store and download.
    I am going to ask the moderator to remove your derogatory comments as they are against the Terms of Use you agreed to and are unnecessary.

  • Is there a processor upgrade available for a Dual 1.8 GHZ G5?

    I am looking to upgrade a Dual 1.8 GHZ G5 to 4 processors if that is possible?

    Not 4 CPUs, but somebody here in the last month or 3 changed to higher rated G5 CPUs on a slower Logic board, which I didn't know would work, not sure which speeds it was & can't dind anything on Apple of course.

  • Will there be another upgrade available for iPod touch1st Generation.

    I would like to use my iPod  for more than just music and instagram. I like to be able to use facebook and twitter and imessage. I don't think it's fair that I can't use some of the everydy apps that everybody else can. we should be able to at least upgrade to an iOS 4.0 if anything else

    It is extremely unlikely that there will ever be another update for it.
    This is completely normal in every way.  ALL computers/devices/TVs/dvd players/phones/etc become unable to run the latest software at some point.  There is nothing unusual about this at all.
