Need help with upgrade from WXP MCE to Vista Ultimate on Qosmio G30 - 175

Hi all, I tried searching for the following issue to no avail so I would be most grateful if someone could help and point me in the right direction:
Tried to upgrade the XP to Ultimate and it got to unpacking stage and BSOD "Session3_initialization_failed (xxx STOP: 0x0000006F (0xC000009D, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) appeared repeatedly. I tried again and the same happened.
I have already updated the BIOS and stripped the conflicts out of the Toshiba suite of programmes and the update advisor gave the OK on several ocassions before attempting this exercise.
Help.........Dave

Forgot to mention too that I am currently running with 2 x 2GB Ram and no additional hardware or software has been added prior to attempting the upgrade. The medium I am using to upgrade is a recently purchased full retail version of 32 bit Vista Ultimate (which also includes a 64 bit version too in the box).
I have been in touch with Microsoft Support in recent days and they told me that my hard drive appears to be defective being the reason for the failed upgrade. Infact last week together with Microsoft on the phone we did attempt a clean install but that just lead to me having to abort the clean install and rescue my laptop back to original XP MCE.....flipping heck!!!!!

Need help with upgrade from Adobe Creative Suite to PS CS4

My old laptop with Photoshop on it crashed and I ended up purchasing a new laptop.
I'm trying to reload my PS CS4. I am using an upgrade from an educational Adobe Creative Suite Premium to the CS4 and when I loaded it on my old laptop I had to get installation help through customer service, but now customer service will not help me since it is CS4.
When installing the upgrade, it tell me to select the product I already own. I own the educational full creative suite, but am only upgrading the Photoshop. I chose Photoshop CS and tried entering the serial number for the suite. It tells me that the serial number doesn't match the product chosen. Of course the only products I'm allowed to choose from is Photoshop CS, CS2, or CS3 and not Creative Suite Premium.
The other serial numbers on this CS is Golive CO and Pagemaker Plug-in.
I was told there are Adobe customer service reps here on the forum, please tell me what it was I need to do to get my Photoshop installed.
Thanks

i wasn't aware that you could get a ps4 at an upgrade price using an older creative suite produect. i searched online and found this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/476009) which makes it appear that was not a valid upgrade path.
but, if you're confident that was a valid upgrade path, i'm pretty sure something will need to be done on adobe's end and no amount of manipulation, on your end only, will work.
your best bet would be to get help in this forum from an adobe staff member like jeff wright who is very knowledgeable and goes out of his way to help adobe customers. to that end, if i were you, i would start a new thread mentioning his name in your title and in your initial post explaining:
you have the educational Adobe Creative Suite Premium and purchased a photoshop cs4 upgrade years ago that required adobe support help to install years ago.
that worked well until a recent computer problem forced you buy a new laptop and you are now trying to reinstall that ps cs4 and again need support help but have been refused help because cs4 is not current.

I need help with upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 Production Premium DISC version

Hi,
i bought the Production Premium CS5.5 in 2011. I then bought the CS6 Upgrade (the boxed version). After the security desaster at Adobe, the keys were invalidated. So when now years after purchase I wanted to use my product, Adobe said I had to download the file CS6 (6GB) from the Adobe server. I did that. After unzipping, the Installer says that a file is missing and I should use a tool which is now not on the Adobe site since it has been discontinued.
It would be nice if anybody had an idea how to get this to work.
Thank you in advance.
A former premiere fanboy that is now really annoyed.

Hi, thank you for the fast reply. I tried to put the downloaded file (7zip, CS6) und the small file (setup file 1MB) in a new folder with write priviledges. 150GB free space. It starts to unpack 3% then cancels due to insufficient space or a write priviledges error (none is true). I will try your link. Yes, I have both boxes here with the serial keys. CS 5.5 is installed on the PC so it should find it. The tool I mentioned is: Adobe - Adobe Support Advisor

Need help with upgrading my OS from 10.5.8

Need help with upgrading my OS. I havent upgraded the OS since I bought it and have version 10.5.8. Now I cant download Mountain Lion- or even Snow Leopard. When i downloaded the first version of SL- 10.6.1 it says i have to have 10.6 first and I cant find that.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple withdrew Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:

When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

HT1296 Need help with sync from phone to computer

When I sync my phone to my laptop, I would like info I entered on the calendar on my phone to be added to the calendar on my computer. I can only get it to sync from computer to phone. I need to update both
any ideas. I have searched the help files and can't find this anywhere

My problem is similar. I just upgraded from the 4S to the 5 and I used to be able to sync the calendar on my iMac and iPhone using iCloud without getting duplicates by selecting/deselecting the appropriate calendars on the respective devices. Everything synced as I entered it.
I'm pretty sure it was working with the 5 until recently...
Today I noticed that an event I entered on the 5 for last week didn't show up on my iMac. When I checked the EDIT screen on the phone to see what calendars were checked, only the calendar for that event was (on the All on my iPhone). All but the Unfiled calendar are checked on the All on my iCloud. When I unchecked and rechecked the calendars under the Phone didn't help. Can't get the thing to sync...
Seems like most people are having problems with Exchange accts, but here I am with my iMac/Phone/Cloud...

I need help please, upgrading from OS 10.6.8...

Please help me - I'm such a technophobe!! I need help upgrading from OS 10.6.8... I get part way through the process and get a box saying "The link needs to be opened with an application" and I don't know what to do next...

The only way to upgrade from 10.6.8 (which is high as Snow Leopard goes) is to obtain Lion or Mountain Lion from the Online Apple Store or Yosemite from the Mac App Store.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Yosemite (10.10.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only. Mavericks (10.9.x) is no longer available.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Yosemite are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Yosemite is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). Mountain Lion can be obtained the Online Apple Store.
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Need help with sum from previous years

Hi All,
In a report i have 4 fields. The first field shows the YTD invoice totals for the current FY 2010 (which i accomplished). The other 3 fields are :
2nd field Sum of the value of invoices for the FY 1YEAR prior to the current year
3rd field Sum of the value of invoices for the FY 2YEAR's prior to the current year.
4th field Sum of the value of invoices for the FY 3YEAR's prior to the current year.
How can i get the desired results for the second,third and the fourth fields, please need help or advice.
Thanks

Hi
If you have the values for several years in the same report you should be able to do what you want using the analytic LEAD and LAG.
LAG will retrieve values from previous rows whereas LEAD will retrieve values from following rows.
The basic syntax is the same and look like this:
LAG(value, offset) OVER ({optional_partition_clause} ORDER BY mandatory_order_clause)
The ORDER BY clause is mandatory and cannot be omitted. However, this ORDER BY has nothing to do with the sort order you manually create in the worksheet. Generally, most people will set their sort order the same as the ORDER BY in the calculation.
Here's an example that gets year to date from 2 financial years ago:
LAG(YTD,2) OVER (ORDER BY FY)
You have to understand that Discoverer will pull values from previous rows not from previous cells as displayed on the report, although if the cells may happen to be rows too then it will appear as though it is pulling previous cells. I personally am very experienced with analytuc functions and can make manipulate data within Discoverer just about any way that I want. Generally, if I can see data on the screen even when they are in different cells or rows I can create functions to manipulate it. This capability only comes about as a result of experience and I would strongly advise you to practice with the analytics and see if you can at least master some of them. You'll find your Discoverer capabilities will improve dramatically and you will become a great asset at work.
When working with a new report I generally duplicate the report as a table so that I can see the values. Then if I need to sort the items in order to line up the values I want to work with I do so. Having worked out what sort order I need I can then see what offset I use then I create the analytic and use it in the main worksheet.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
Michael

Help with upgrading from Photoshop Elements to Lightroom 3

Any tutorials/books/best practices on upgrading from PSE to LR 3? I have thousands and thousands of photos in PSE, and I'm sure the upgrade is not as transparent and smooth as Adobe promotes it to be.
Any suggestion, advice or past experience will be greatly appreciated.

here is a set of instructions on doing what you want.

Lightroom detects if your computer has a Photoshop Elements catalog and can import photos and data from the PSE catalog into a new Lightroom catalog. Lightroom imports photos and data from Photoshop Elements 6 and later on Windows. Lightroom imports photos and data from Photoshop Elements 9 on Mac OS.
Note: For help troubleshooting errors or problems when importing PSE catalogs into Lightroom, see the Adobe Support article Lightroom 3 cannot upgrade Photoshop Elements catalogs (cpsid_85517).
In the Library module, choose File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog.The Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog dialog box displays the most recently opened Photoshop Elements 6 (PSE6), Photoshop Elements 7 (PSE7), or Photoshop Elements 8 (PSE8), or Photoshop Elements 9 (PSE9) catalog.
To choose a different PSE catalog, click the Photoshop Elements drop-down menu.
To change the destination of the new Lightroom catalog, click Change and navigate to a different folder.

Need help with upgrading my Pavilion's graphics... affordably

Hi all,
New member here :-).
Ok...I am having trouble with a graphics card I just got. It's the EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 64bit DVI/HDMI/VGA Low Profile Graphics Card 02G-P3-3733-KR. It's a very good entry level card according to every one I've talked to. It was reasonably priced so I bought one. When I installed it all I get is an amber power light and beeping sound. So I contact EVGA to see if it's incompatible with my computer model. This is what they said: "We do apologize for any issues with your GT 730. Your hardware should be sufficient to run the graphics card; however, you will need to remove any ATI/AMD software or drivers prior to installing our NVIDIA based graphics card, as this can cause driver conflicts. Although this graphics card does not require a UEFI motherboard BIOS, you may want to check with HP to see if this system can run 700 series NVIDIA graphics cards." Sooo... based on that last part I underlined, can this computer run that model of card?
Oh... another note: I guess the card could be defective too. I always seem to get the dud of the bunch if there is one. LOL. If that's the case I'll mail it back to Amazon.
My official warranty support has run out so you're the only guys and gals that can help me with this. Any info or advice will be greatly appreciated. Or if you can recommend any other graphics card upgrades that would work, that would be awesome too. Thanks so much in advance!!!
Just in case you didn't see it up top, the make and model is Pavilion P6-2120 H2M53AA#ABA.

Hi,
Please post the HP product number for your PC. How to Find the HP Model Number and the HP Product Number or let HP automatically find your PC model number and HP network attached printers. This will allow others to review your issue, make suggestions and review your responses. This is usually the best way to get assistance.
The quote about removing AMD drivers from EVGA seems to be bogus. I have multiple EGVA graphics cards and none of the printed directions ever mention removing AMD drivers. I have run and removed AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards without having to remove the previous drivers.
If your PC doesn't have a version 8 BIOS then the NVIDIA 7xx graphics cards may not work.

A Second Welcome To Discussions mucl20!
Now that you know why it doesn't work;
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
As previously advised, be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
The discs should look like the images in the above links.
Once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Tiger System Requirements
Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."
Download the Media Exchange Program Order From Here.
Orders must be mailed by March 19, 2007.
AppleRescue, also sells a Tiger installation set on CD
Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And Good Luck!

Help with Upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard

I would like to upgrade my os from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard. Best Buy said that I would have to buy the box set for $129 for that to be possible. The box set says that it includes Snow Leopard, but how do I know it's just not the Snow Leopard upgrade? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi She, and a warm welcome to the forums!
The $29 version works fine if you don't need iLife or iWork Apps that the "Box Set" contains.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

This can be rewritten as a single query which is good for a
number of reasons, including we only make one trip to the database
and we do our calculations on the SQL backend, which is faster than
doing them in CFML.
What you're going to want to do is SUM() the total
transaction values by having a column like SUM(Num_Checks_Trans *
Value) AS totalTrans. To get the value for your other column you
can calculate that like Num_Checks_Trans / Weekly_Hours_Recorded. I
didn't see the latter in either of your queries so I'm not sure
where it comes from, but you can definitely use it in your SELECT
clause when calculating.
Since SUM() is an aggregate function, you'll have to use a
GROUP BY clause to make it work. You'll have to GROUP BY each
column in the SELECT statement. If some of the columns have
differing data that you won't want to use in the GROUP, you can
always use a nested subquery as part of your FROM clause and then
join that to the original queries with the totals.
I hope that helps.
