My current system on my current system on my computerIs windows XP 3, I have been told that I should convert to Windows 7,
how can I convert from Windows XP 3 to Windows 7? I have been advised that I should do this because Microsoft no longer supports windows XP three.
Hi jadmwa，
As Dwight_473 mentioned, we will need to check if the hardware is compatible.
Additionally, we will need to consider to conduct the upgrade or clean install.
Upgrade. This option replaces your current version of Windows with Windows 7, and keeps your files, settings, and programs in place on your computer.
Custom. This option replaces your current version of Windows with Windows 7, but doesn't preserve your files, settings, and programs. It's sometimes referred to as a clean installation for that reason.
For more information about upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 and clean install, we could refer to the following article.

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.

When I have current shows to download, my check for available downloads tells me all items have been downloaded. I have to go to iTunes Store and then to the show's iTunes page and click download.

I have an Iphone 4 iOS 6.1.3 and have read that it is capable of receiving the Weather Emergency Alert system. I have also been told that it will not. There is no option in Settings / Notifications. This is confusing. Can someone at Apple clarify? If it does not work on this phone is a download available?
Apple usually doesn't participate here, we're just users. Have you done a search for an app for Weather Emergency Alert in the app store? It certainly doesn't come built-in in the iphone.

Hi, we had installed SharePoint Service Pack 1 (SP1). And now the user profile service application is not available. Getting this
Error "This User Profile Application’s connection is currently not available. The Application pool or user profile service may not have been started".
How to troubleshoot the issue anh help/thoughts will be appreciatedNot sure, if this will help, but in my case all of my services were up and running (including app pools) and also IISRESET did not help. So at that point, looking at the error message, I assumed that there is something wrong with the app pool (or app pool
credentials) and went to CA --> Application Management --> Manage Service Applications and selected UPSA and under properties just created a new app pool to run under farm account (did not want to take any chances).
As soon as the new app pool was provisioned, the service came back.

No longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170). The operating system is OSX 10.6.8.
My problem opening FaceTime after the upgrade is now solved. I didn't pay enough attention when prompted to decide where to store the application upgrade and as a consequence the computer created another "Applications" folder within the existing one. When I subsequently clicked on the icon on the dock to open the application the computer couldn't find the software.

I want to upgrade to Lion but hav ebeentold I can't because I have a G5 non intel based system. If this is true can I change the motherboard and install Lion
If you are running Snow Leopard OS 10.6 you do not have a PPC Mac as they cannot run it, so you already have an Intel Mac. The question is, which one?
Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, runing the latest version of Snow Leopard. The Lion upgrade can be installed on all your authorized personal Macs.
But in any case you cannot replace the motherboard with a different one in any Mac. -
Based on user issues I am reading should I even attempt this. One of my reasons of wanting to upgrade is to have the ability to upgrade to newer versions of certain programs such as Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop.
I've upgraded several Mac from 10.5 to 10.6 and all the installations were trouble-free. However, in an abundance of caution, back up before you start upgrading.
RAM: Most 2008 iMac shipped with 2GB RAM. Your iMac 2008 can use up to 4GB RAM "officially" and up to 6GB with memory modules introduced since Apple's offical specs were engraved in stone. Although 10.6 may do ±OK with 2GB, I suspect Photoshop is glomming on to all you have. Lion10.7 will just barely work with 2GB and 10.8 Mtn Lion may slow to a crawl.
I get all my RAM upgrades here:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_PC2-6400
Never had a problem with any of their RAM and I've been getting it from them for over a decade--and we have 18 Macs in the family! -
I have no more details to provide. The question that I asked summarizes the problem completely.
Since I continue to get the cryptic message, I have decided to try a different browser, namely Google Chrome.

i currently have a 2207 iMac and I'm running tiger. I had an iPod classic which synced up beautifully but it has just died. iPod touch's are the only things that are on the market now as classic are no more. I've been told that an iPod touch won't qork on tiger operating system and I need to get snow lWoodard. Can I upgrade straight to snow leopard or do I need to get leopard first? Also will the new iPod touches work with snow leopard? Many thanks, please help me as I keep getting different answers. Ben
And the only way to figure that out would be verifying my disk using the Disk Utility?
Thank you for that. If I am not missing out on anything by skipping Lion then that will be my option. A few extra dollars in my pocket is always a good thing. -
Can I upgrade my 2006 iMac 4,1 with Intel Core Duo w/1/5GB memory, 667GHz Bus Speed, 2GHz Processor Speed to the newer OS systems?

How to determine the current update level of the system
How can we determine the current update level of the system. uname -a shows the release but how to obtain the update level through a program?
I have this sample program to display the version
#include <iostream>
#include <sys/utsname.h>
#include <dirent.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
struct utsname osinfo;
// Call uname to get system info, then extract strings.
uname(&osinfo);
if (osinfo.machine) {
cout<<" Machine : "<< osinfo.machine;
if (osinfo.sysname) {
cout << "\nOS Name : " << osinfo.sysname;
if (osinfo.release[0] != '\0') {
cout<<"\nRelease : " << osinfo.release;
}My aim is to check if the Solaris box is 5.10 update 4 or not.

Hi,
I am getting below error message while loading photoshop plugin on intel mac os 10.5.7 in photoshop CS3.
"One or more plugins are currently not available on you system. For details, see Help -> System info"
In System info it is giving error as
"Plug-ins that failed to load:
Dissolve NO VERSION - - from the file “/Applications/Adobe CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plug-Ins/Filters/Dissolve.plugin/”
I have build this code with Xcode v3.0 & selected settings build configuration as "i386".
Is there any CS3 SDK updated need for intel mac or any build settings need to be done in xcode?
Same plugin is working well on emac, but giving above mentioned error on intel mac.
Please let me know if anyone have any idea about this.
Thanks in advance.Sounds like a PiPL issue, can you show us your definition?

If you had been running CS3 on a PPC machine (PowerPC or pre-Intel box)
it's likely the plug-in was not written for Universal Binary.
>
Now that you have an Intel iMac, any plug-ins that have not been updated
for Universal Binary will not run, because your CS3 is now running natively
in Universal Binary.
>
In order to run your older plug-ins, you would have to run CS3 in Rosetta
emulation software—with a corresponding, MASSIVE performance hit..
Rosetta emulates the PPC chip. To set up CS3 to run in Rosetta, you
highlight the application icon in the Finder a do a Get Info on it (Command
I). check the Run in Rosetta box, close the dialog box, launch CS3 and
watch it crawl along.
