New Laptop, no language choice

I bought a Thinkpad T61 with windows Vista on it today. On installation I would normally have a language selection (dutch, french, english, german).
I suspect that the device has already been started in the store for whatever reason, only problem is that now, there is no possibility to change the windows interface to dutch. what can I do to get it installed correctly (haven't finished the first time boot yet)?
how do I make the language choice re-appear?

The OEM Vista doesn't have language choice unless you use the Ultimate version, the language of the Vista is stated on the bottom of the laptop on the microsoft sticker.

I just opened my new ipad2 32GB. I can't get off the screen for language choice! How do I get to the correct screen to begin using it?

I just opened my new ipad2-32GB. It is connected to my macbook pro and itunes is opened. But it is stuck on a screen for language choices. How do i get to the correct screen to begin using it?

yes, thanks. I needed to reset using the power button and home button and hold for longer than i thought. After some serious worry (I'm an electronic illiterate!) I do have everything working and synced with my laptop and phone.
I am glad to have discovered the "support community" site

What Firefox version choices do I have for using Firefox on new laptop running Win 7 64-bit, and how do I move bookmarks from current laptop running Firefox 3.5.13 to new laptop?

Currently running Firefox 3.5.13 on laptop using Windows XP pro sp3 and will want to move my bookmarks to a new laptop. New laptop uses Win 7 pro 64-bit OS. I have read too many conflicting reports about Firefox and Win 7 and understand that Firefox is working on a true 64-bit version. What are my choices for a stable web browser for new laptop and which particular version of Firefox is recommended and the pros and cons of that suggestion? (I believe one can run Firefox 32 bit version in the 64 bit environment, but is that the best choice?) I have not installed Firefox on new laptop yet and am eager to dump IE. This is being posted from my old laptop. Thanks ...

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Software&p=Mozilla%20Firefox&v=Mozilla&uid=3&l=en&pf=0&pi=0&c=Communication%20%26%20Internet&sc=Web%20Browsers%20%26%20Plug-Ins&os=64-bit
If you go to this link you will be assured by Microsoft and Win7 "new" app checking and making sure that all drivers and software you have is compatible with Win7 64 bit. And in this article it states that Firefox version 3 IS compatible and designed for 64 bit OS, hm mm well as you know that is incorrect!! As of today Mozilla Firefox is not designed for a 64 bit computer. Thank you for your honesty and it saved me a big headache By being upnt and honest. my books!! Great job!!

HT1349 help I would like to authorize my new laptop for my itunes library I had 5 authorized computers on my account not sure which ones they were one of the autorized computers has crashed so i want to transfer all of my account history onto my compute

my acct. shows that I have 5 authorized computers for my itunes acct. not sure which 5 but I do know it is not my new laptop. our main home computer that I use for managing and adding to my music library may have crashed . so I deauthorized all 5 computers (that was my only choice). I was then hoping to authorize just one computer (my new lap top), I was then hoping that my entire music library would then show up via my itunes/apple account where is it ?
How can I transfer my entire itunes acct. history onto my new lap top? any suggestions? or how can I recover my music library off of a potentially crashed computer?

You can deauthorise all 5 at once, then reauthorize the one you want.

You need to log into iTunes on the computer you want to deauthorise. Otherwise, contact contact iTunes Store support to see if they can help.

How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new Laptop

Hi Everyone,
I have a new Windows laptop and an iPhone 4 (iOS 7.04) and I would like to back it up to my new laptop. The iPhone 4 was sync'd to an older Windows laptop that isn't working anymore, so I can't transfer anything from the old laptop to the new.
Is there a way I can just make my new laptop my new computer of choice for sync'ing my iPhone?
Thanks,
Don

My old computer with my iTunes library on along with my iPod was destroyed in a fire. I have since got a new laptop and iPod plus started a new library with a new email address. How do I get the purchased tracks from my old library onto my new one?

Obviously I spent a lot of money on my old computer and on tracks for the iTunes library plus iPod and I don't wish to have to buy all those tracks again - though I had no choice but to buy a new laptop and iPod.

It looks as though i would be in situation where i have both accounts on the same computer but need a seperate ipod for each but i cant afford to but another ipod so i am letting things be as they are. I now back-up all my stuff in my current itunes library to an external driver so if the laptop breaks down i at least have saved the music to install on a new laptop or netbook. I would sign up for the icloud to save my music on that but as i understand it the cloud will only hold itune purchased tracks and those imported from cds and not any mp3 tracks purchased from another online retailer.
Thanks for helping me come to a long overdue descision on my original query.

Looking for a new laptop, need help!?!

I am searching for a new laptop to use in college and i am planning to spend $900 to $1000 on it and would like a laptop that is not too big (like equal to or under 16".) I would like at least 500GB hard drive and processor that is good but not to strong that I have no battery life. I was thinking i5 processor. I would like it to have enough battery to be able to use through good chunk of day (like 6hr rated or so.) It needs to be somewhat durable as I know college will take its toll on the computer. It would be great addition to have a good video card. I don't know if there is anything out there like this but hope there is. Please post suggestions or new ideas about what i would need for college. Thank you for any help!

Hi Lukedmann,
Thank you for considering Best Buy for the purchase of your next laptop. As we start off the Back to School season you should start seeing the introduction of quite a few new models, and some that should be able to meet your need. With the way technology advances day to day, this shouldn't be impossible to maintain.
Personally, taking into account any and all biases I have and stuff, theres 4 models i'd point out to you inside my store. Understanding that these are not your only options, and that I think that the aethetic design of the computer (how nice you think it looks) should definitely play a role, i'm sure any of these should be able to meet the demands you specified.
3 Models to Compare
Overall these are pretty close to your price limit, and I chose these assuming you wish to spend 900-1000 on the laptop and already counted in taxes, accessories, softwares etc. Just to let you know I discounted some models to give you the higher quality, however some models which come out to cost less would still meet your specified criteria. Let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Agent Lamar

My old PC blow and I need to get my music into Itunes on new laptop

My old PC blow up and I want to know how to get my Ipod music on my new laptop. I down loaded the new Itunes version and used my ID but none of my stuff is there. I am afraid that if I plug in my Ipod I will loose my music.
How do I transfer the Ipod music into my Itunes?

Don't worry about plugging the iPod into the computer, the first time you do iTunes will say that the iPod is synced with another computer and ask if you want to erase it and sync it with this computer. Click no or its equivalent and don't worry about it.
After that, you can use iTunes to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store from your iPod to your new computer. It should be under the File menu.
If you did not buy everything on your iPod at the iTunes Store, take a look here before you transfer just the purchased content, http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/consumerelectronics/ipodfaq/transfer-copy-songs-ipod-to-computer.html or just google transfer from ipod to computer and select your OS of choice.

How do i transfer my iweb content to new laptop?

my hard drive on a mac book died - RIP. how do i download the content from my iweb account to my new laptop? the store clerk said that it was possible but doesn't seem obvious to me. i REALLY don't want to lose all my blog site content!

Hi Old Toad,
A really good way to make a backup of the domain file I found it out ALL BY MYSELF (not exactly...)
I tried out varkgirls Automator which actually makes a .zip file of the domain file and puts in a location of your choice... My 500MB site got 430MB in zip...
I didn't get the point of that automator I mean: I can just drag & drop my domain file to my external HD and it would be the same... So I didn't really like it, I'm sorry for that...
BUT Varkgirl also mentions the Mozy stuff... 2GB of free online storage for backup and, at the moment, I really Love her for mentioning that...
I made a backup of my domain file through Mozy (without zipping and so on) now what's the point? The point is I saved 430MB of storage and got additional 1570MB and best part yet to come: when I modify the Domain.sites2 in iWeb and make it backing up again it turns out that Mozy is so intelligent that it finds the pages I modified and uploads only those to Mozy, I don't have to backup the whole 500Megs every time, isn't that great? It's fantastic! Oh yeah and you can tell Mozy to automatically backup every day or once a week or manually backup.
AND "one more thing" (like Jobs said once in a Keynozte pres. I think it was the one he first mentioned the iPhone => big surprise) I MAYBE (I'm NOT sure) could also edit it by restoring it on another computer (of that I'm sure) and then put it back (of that I'm not sure, I think it would need to upload the whole 500MB file)
Well... For people with .Mac that's not quite a revolution, but for those whom, like me, don't have it it is... I think...
I hope someone understood what I meant...
Regards,
Cédric

I have all my music on my I-pod but I have a new laptop, how do I get the music from my ipod onto itunes?, I have all my music on my I-pod but I have a new laptop, how do I get the music from my ipod onto itunes?

I have all my music on my ipod but I can't get that music onto my new laptop , how do I do that?

At a guess you followed the process in HT1364 - iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder which would have moved the media folder to a new path of your choice. This process leaves the library database files back in the original location of <User's Music>\iTunes. Often people assume that all they need is now on the external drive and wipe the internal drive, or discard their old computer, before backing up the all important iTunes folder. If you have a backup of your user's profile folder from before the upgrade the iTunes library folder should be in there somewhere. Restore it to <User's Music> and your original library should pop back into existence. The external drive would need to have the same drive letter that it had previously.
A more effective way to relocate the library is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive, then hold down shift when starting iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would then choose the file iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder on the external drive. If this is the way you moved the library before then that is how you should now reconnect to it. Changing the media folder in preferences doesn't change which .itl database file is opened, nor does double-clicking on an .itl file directly.
If you no longer have the original .itl file then you will have to build a new library and import the media to it. If you need to do this I would recommend you create a new library at F:\iTunes, then move your existing media folders inside F:\iTunes\iTunes Media before importing. This will avoid the creation of duplicates and make sure the library is in the correct shape going forwards.
If you have an iPod or iOS device my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover ratings, play counts & playlists from the device.
When you've fixed up your libray you should consider getting a second external drive to backup to.

Need to move files from G4 to my new laptop - HOW??

I am going to use my new laptop to mix DJ sets. Literally all of my music is already on my G4 in iTunes and as other aif files. How can I transfer the music files over to my new laptop - I don't want to have to input all the music again...that would literally take weeks as it is over 26 GB worth of files.
I know that you can hook the laptop up to the computer (by firewire I assume)and boot one up while starting up the other and holding down a certain key or combination of keys on either the laptop or computer. Then the laptop is like another drive from the G4 and you can copy files back and forth between the two. I need to do this.
Can anyone tell me the specifics of how to do this??

Note that migrating to an Intel Mac from a PowerPC Mac should be done carefully.
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
both have 802ac wifi
both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
both are slim profiles and SSD
The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
....and of course the retina display
both are now "very good for travel"
Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc. Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display”
Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little, the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.
http://www.cultofmac.com/168509/why-you-might-be-disappointed-by-the-resolution- of-those-new-retina-display-macs-feature/
A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density
"The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD"
