New desktop
I am in the process of getting a new desktop and being a computer novice, what do i have to do to reconnect my wireless router?
Hi,
It will not recognize the router automatically..The router needs to be configured properly so that AT&T will recognize the router as part of the network...just make sure that you can get online with your at&t and computer ... you can use the automatic online tool that is on www.linksys.com/connect and download the online tool that is called Easylink Connect and save it on your desktop and ran it on your computer ... it will help you set up the router and as well as it will give you easy instructions and steps..

Can you advice to a configurations of a new desktop to work?
Hi friends
I´m not an expert in computer specifications (at true I have just an overall knowledgment about this) and I do not want to compare computer manufactured by specific companies (this is not the intention of this post).
We work with Dell computers since 2005. Now we are thinking about buying a new desktop computer for work. We are focused on social movies, like weedings, birtdays and so on. We record and edit in FullHD. We work with Premiere, After Effects, Encore (also other Adobe softwares like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and sometimes we do some work with 3Ds Max to make some animations.
Well, acessing the Dell´s website we perceived there´s two models of computers that has a similar price (but a considerable difference in configurations). The first is a New Dell XPS 8700 and the second is a workstation Dell Precision T3600.
New XPS 8700
> 4ª generation of the processor Intel® Core™ i7-4770 (3.4GHz up to 3.9GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0, 8 Threads, 8Mb Cache)
> Windows 8
> 16 GB (SDRAM DDR3, 1600 MHz)
> HD 2TB, SATA (7200 RPM) + INTEL® SRT 32Gb Solid State Drive
> Video board NVIDIA® GEFORCE® GTX 660 (1.5GB DDR5, 192-bit)
Workstation Dell Precision T3600
> Processor Intel® Xeon® Quad-Core E5-1603 (2.80 GHz, 10M Cache)
> Windows® 7 Professional 64-bit
> 4 GB (SDRAM DDR3, 1333 MHz)
> HD 250GB, 6.0Gb/s (7200 RPM)
> Video board nVidia® Quadro® 600 1GB
if you would choose from one of them, which one would you choose? Why?
With my poor expertise about computer specifications, I tend to choose the XPS, because of the bigger Ram memmory, the bigger HD...should I assume the video board and processor of XPS is worst than the Dell Precision??? this is why the price becomes similar?
Any advide?
Thank you a lot
Gustavo.As configured, the XPS is much better.
The GeForce GTX 660 blows away the Quadro 600. The Quadro series, being more "pro" or better specced, is false marketing.
For either system, I suggest at least two drives: one for your OS/system, the other for your footage. (Check out Harm's guide here.) If your budget allows, using a SSD for your system drive would be beneficial (not sure the 32GB in the XPS would be large enough).
Also, the more RAM the better. The 16GB in the XPS should be sufficient...but I personally have 32GB and sometimes it's not enough.
Just curious...what format are you primarily shooting in? AVCHD, P2, etc? -

QAM tuners to record local channels only
This requires Windows Vista or Windows 7

CableCard tuner to record local and cable channels
This requires Windows 7 + one CableCard from Verizon for $3.99/mo
ATI TV Wonder Digital PC CableCard Tuner (records one channel at a time) -- $200-$250 on ebay
Ceton MOCUR tuner (records four channels at a time) -- coming in early 2010 for $400-$600
Make sure your computer has Windows 7 Home Premium (or better) installed. That's necessary to support CableCard tuners.

How do I get my music off of my phone and onto a new desktop...Without my old computer?

I purchased photoshop elements 8 on line in 2010. I recently switched to a new desktop computer. Photoshop asked for my serial number. I entered the correct serial number (obtained from Adobe). It says it is invalid. How do I get this corrected so I can use the product I purchased?
Hi Rosera,
This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?
Regards,

After getting a new desktop I downloaded iTunes and authorized my new computer and then de-authorized my old one, When I try to update my 5S it says my phone is not authorized and list my wifes email address as the account holder and not mine. How do I correct this. I am using Windows 8.1 . My wife has never had an iTuunes account
Hello Lakesidetom,
It sounds as though you are experiencing an issue with an Apple ID and authorizations. Based on your post, it sounds like you are familiar with the authorizing and deauthorizing process. The Apple ID in question (your wife's email) may be originating from the iPhone you are attempting to update. Is it possible that your wife created an Apple ID or iCloud account which is signed in on that iPhone? Below, I have included links to some resources that may help you determine if your wife has created an Apple ID:

I have a new desktop and re-installed my identity from my airtime back up and on the log in page my picture comes up with my usual password hint, but it is not accepting my password and I do not have the option to reset using my apple id - that particular function is in grey and cannot be clicked on
Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

I just got a new Comp and my old one tanked. I am trying to recover my firefox setting and book marks and such. I have tried doing the sync.... but it doesnt seem to want to. I am trying to sync it with my spare laptop. What I really want to do is sync it with my old laptop whose hard drive I actually had installed as a backup drive in the new system. Its complicated. I actually have the old comp synced to my android phone... but can not get it to sync with the new comp either. Its making me nuts, I have so many book marks and to add them all by hand is going to suck!!! I got through firefox's walkthrough, and it says to go to the Firefox button and select Options, then select the Sync Panel... that is the first problem! there is not "Sync Panel" on either the new or the old comp. It does not exist. I can select "set up Sync" but that is not under options, it is separate... and get the choice Create new account, or I have an account... then I can either enter my account info and a recovery key (which i dont have and cannot find) or I can get a 12 digit code to enter to sync the other device. problem is, both computers generate a code, when one is supposed to have a blank space so I can enter the sync code. Some times I get the blank space on the comp that I am trying to sync the old one too... and I enter it and nothing happens. HELP.
Thankyou. I actually figured it out partially myself. I simply opened a new Firefox sync account so that I could sync my backup laptop to my new desk top. The issue here is that I am dealing with 4 devices.
1.'''Original Laptop''' (which is no longer functional, though I have the harddrive installed as a backup drive in my new tower... it was cleaned of all bugs prior to install)
2. '''My backup Laptop'''. I have been using this device for the last 3 weeks. Was unable to sync it with my old one before it went down, so I have since added many bookmarks as such to the onboard firefox browser.
3. '''My android phone''' (Samsung Note 3... top of the line current device) to which I actually have the bookmarks from my '''original laptop ''' synced. That sync was on my now old sync account
4. '''My New Desktop''' Just out of the box tonight. I have now synced my backup laptop to this device.
The reason I started a new Sync account with a different email address is because I could not get anything to work as the Firefox instructions said to. So once I setup a new one everything worked perfectly as far as syncing from the backup laptop to the desktop. I finally was actually shown the previously mythical "Sync Pannel" which would not show before.
My question is this now:
I see that one of the options when sycing allows you to blend the saved data with both devices (assuming that both have bookmarks and browsing history etc.)
I need to be able to add in the sync data that is stored on my android to the other devices, most importantly the desktop. Now that this data is in two separate sync accounts... is that possible?
I had issues with both the desktop and the backup laptop being able to log into my old sync account even after I was successful in resetting the password. I tried to use the recovery key once I reset the PW and i copied it exactly and even regenerated a new one. The sync system would not accept the copy and pasted exact copy of the recovery key, it kept saying invalid key?
I would really like to get my sync data from my android to sync and blend with the new sync account as I have many many bookmarks on the android that were on my old laptop.
I hope that this makes sense... It is very tough to explain!
Will appreciate all help. -
Can I open a new document in a new desktop in OS Mountain Lion?
The standard way of doing so is to open the document in the current desktop and then drag it to a new desktop (top right)? I was wondering whether a shortcut operation exists? (something like open in a new tab when navigating on Safari). Thank you

Your best bet would probably be to purchase the Q2ID plugin from Markzware.com which will allow you to open native Quark 5 or later files in ID. Quark 4 should open without a plugin. After opening, immediately export to IDML and open that for editing to clean the file.
Markzware and Recosoft both also make plugins that will open PDF as native ID files, but I think opening the Quark files will give you more in terms of styles, etc.

I just bought a new desktop and will be taking my old one to the apple store tomorrow to have the data transferred. Does the transfer include the transfer of programs or just data?
They will simply use Migration Assistant to transfer your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. This is something you could do yourself. You would need a Firewire cable to connect between your old computer and your new one. Migration Assistant is installed in the Utilities folder of your new computer.

Inability to connect laptop to printer connected to new desktop windows 7-64bit
We cannot connect our officejet 5500 to our laptop since buying a new desktop computer now running Windows 7-64 bit. Although the laptop runs on Windows 7, it previously was able to access the printer. Since upgrading the computer we seem not to be able to connect. Our systems are wireless though the printer plugs directly into the computer. I did do the search for drivers and seems the 5500 office jet has the correct driver. Now what??
Thanks!The most important part at this point, since they both use Windows 7, is to ensure they are in the same homegroup.
Go to the start menu and search for Network and Sharing Center. Do this on both computers. Open the sharing center and then go to Choose Homegroup and Sharing Options. Do the computers indicate they are part of the same homegroup?
Let me know what happens when you go to the Homegroup options on each screen. It really seems as this is where the core of the issue is as the steps provided have worked with similar scenarios.
The homegroup requirement of Windows 7 can be disabled, but then sharing the computers with each other gets a little more complex as you would be prompted for a username and password each time you tried to access the computer on the network.

Can't find my Library on new desktop
Set up a new desktop at home over the weekend and downloaded ITunes software to it. Could not remember username or password so spent quite a bit of time setting those up again but now I can't find or access my library on new or old compurter. I think I have all the stuff on my IPod but am afraid that if I sync it I will lose stuff. What's a boy to do?

The story is, I had my desktop and android tablet synced, with a significant amount of bookmarks in the desktop PC. Then my desktop hard drive was reformatted and Win XP reinstalled.
I had not taken note of the recovery key previously (nor backed up the firefox profile), thinking that I would just easily sync the "new" desktop back to the existing account.
I can see the synced bookmarks in my tablet (but associated to the now nonexistent desktop).
I just can't find a way of retrieving the sync key or recovery key from the android tablet, to be able to join the "new" desktop to the same account.
Anyone have any idea of how to do it?
I've seen references to an add-on that would show the key but it doesn't work with the current firefox version (19)
An alternative would be to export the bookmarks from the tablet, but I couldn't find how to do it either. The option to export is not there on the android version.
Thanks in advance!I've tried, but it requires me to enter a Recovery Key and I can't find a way to retrieve that from the android tablet.
Am I missing something?
