Possible to downgrade U430p to windows 7?

I ordered a U430p laptop without touchscreen. Can I downgrade this laptop to windows 7?
I see that there are some windows 7 drivers in support section, but I noticed that a few may be missing like a wifi driver.
Thanks!

Use Intel driver 17.0.6 for WiFi and 17.0.1405.02 for BT, latest driver versions 17.1.0 and 17.1.1406.01 have tons of problems reported. Lenovo drivers are really old and buggy, try to stay away from them as much as possible.

If you have license for Windows 7 or you have downgrade option. You should do reinstall of Windows 7 and there is no direct downgrade option. It is possible to backup data and then restore files from user profile manually but there is
no direct downgrade option and you have to reinstall all programs.

Is it possible to downgrade to 10.5.5 with the combo updater?

I'm one of the lucky people who no longer have firewire after the 10.5.6 update. I was wondering if it was possible to downgrade to 10.5.5 using the combo updater? There weren't any issues prior to the update and now I can't access my peripherals in OS X. I have boot camp installed and everything works in windows. Also, I've tested the drive on my PowerBook (which still runs Tiger) and everything works fine (DiskWarrior and Disk Utility don't detect any problems). I've re-applied 10.5.6 using the combo updater and I've reset the PRAM, to no avail. At this point I'm fairly certain it's a 10.5.6 issue. So, is it possible to downgrade to 10.5.5?

no. there are no downgrade options in OS X. 10.5.5 combo update will refuse to install if you try. if you don't have a 10.5.5 backup the only way to get back to 10.5.5 is to do an archive and install and then upgrade to 10.5.5 using 10.5.5 combo update.

Is it possible to downgrade from iTunes 11 back to 10.7

Hi
- Really not linking iTunes 11 , is it possible to downgrade, any answer would be extremly helpful!
Thanks

=Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
Try activating the sidebar, menu bar, and status bar and see if this is close enough to the previous version to make you content. It is easier than downgrading and eventually you will be forced to run a newer iTunes unless you have an endless supply of the model computer you currently own.
You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404). Alternatively:
Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
Here's a step-by-step method and you may find it easier to follow than alternative methods I have posted below.
Downgrade iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7 - http://www.emacconsulting.com/apple/itunes/downgrade-itunes-11-to-itunes-10-7/
If the above does not work, or you want to do it without Pacifist, or you want to know what is actually going on when downgrading, or you encounter error messages, here's more details:
Quit iTunes.
Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at: http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394. Do steps 3 and 4. Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential. Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7. Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved. Two ways to do this are:
1. (Easier) Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
2. (More work) Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
    Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
    After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7. I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
AirTrafficHost.framework
CoreFP.framework
DeviceLink.framework
iTunesAccess.framework
MobileDevice.framework
After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl" and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.

- If you encounter error -42408:

Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested). A variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184

Downgrade pre installed Windows 8 pro (pre-injected key) to Window 7 professional

Hallo,
we just bought a few Dell Vostro with preinstalled Windows 8 pro and the keys are pre-injected within the BIOS of the computer. There is no Windows 8 key on a sticker outside of the computer.
What is the right way to downgrade this Windows 8 pro to Windows 7 Professional ?
Thank you.
Wolfgang

Thank you for your answer.
I followed you link and came out on this page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2832566/en
>For a PC that has Windows 8 preinstalled by an OEM
>Obtain genuine Windows 7 Professional or Windows Vista Business installation media and the >corresponding >product key. You may have to buy a full-package product copy of the Windows downgrade >from a retailer.
OK - I have a Windows 7 Professional installation medium with key.
>Insert the media for the downgrade version of Windows into the PC, and then follow the installation >instructions.
I did it with success.
>Type the product key when you are asked to do this. If the software was previously activated, you can't >activate it online. In this case, the local Activation Support telephone number will be displayed. Call the >number, and explain the circumstances.
When it is determined that you have an eligible Windows license, >the customer service representative will provide a single-use activation code to activate the software. >Please be aware that Microsoft does not provide a full product key in this scenario.
I typed in the product key. The software *was* previously activated (still using it) - but I could activate it.
There was no need to call the support by phone and explain anything.
Abstract:
It *is* possible and legal to downgrade a Windows 8 pro OEM license with pre injected key in BIOS to Windows 7 Professional by using a different Windows 7 Professional key by using the windows 7 key a second time.
Can you please confirm this ? Thank you.

In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes?

It would be great to be able to do this in iCal and Notifications as well. I am using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8. Thank you very much for assistance with this.

Re: Downgrading Oct 16, 2012 2:57 PM (in response to nbabbit2013)
I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24?Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6 when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the backup?

There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
It will always restore to the latest available software.

Looking to run windows on my MBPro through Bootcamp or Parallels, but would like to use a downloaded Windows 7, is it possible to install without the Windows Disc?

Looking to run windows on my MBPro through Bootcamp or Parallels, but would like to use a downloaded Windows 7, is it possible to install without the Windows Disc?
Need to set up a workstation on my MBPro that will only run on Windows. Im willing to use Bootcamp or Parallels to see what works best. Need to get this set up this week to enable working from home on my MB - rural and hoping to buy Windows 7 online - am I able to get windows working through either bootcamp or Parallels without the actual Windows disc? Bootcamp set up guide calls for a disc.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, the answer to your question is yes, it IS possible to install Windows in Parallels without a disc, using an .iso image file.
Boot Camp since OS X 10.8 also installs Windows without a disc: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4889551?tstart=0
Parallels has complete documentation, series of forums, and a knowledgebase. You can also download the current release of Parallels 9 and try it for free for a few weeks before you decide to purchase it.
The Parallels Desktop for Mac product page: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/
The Desktop for Mac forums: http://forum.parallels.com/forumdisplay.php?58-Parallels-Desktop-for-Mac
Documentation: http://www.parallels.com/support/desktop-virtualization/desktop/#c12970
The Knowledgebase for Desktop for Mac: http://kb.parallels.com
The primary difference between a Boot Camp installation and a Parallels installation is that in the Boot Camp installation, you're installing Windows into a separate partition on your internal mass storage device (hard drive or SSD) and then rebooting your Mac directly into Windows.
In Parallels, you're always running OS X on the Mac and Parallels is running a Windows virtual machine.
Not to get too technical here, but it is also possible for Parallels to run an installed Windows Boot Camp partition as a virtual machine. If you're evaluating system performance with a trial copy, that might be the way to go, because you only have to install Windows once on Boot Camp as a dual-boot system, then install Parallels Desktop and run the Boot Camp partition as the virtual machine.
There is a performance difference between the two, with the Boot Camp Windows installation being faster, but without the convenience of running both Mac and Windows applications simultaneously offered by Parallels. Sometimes that convenience outweighs a performance hit.
I can't give you more Mavericks and Parallels 9 specifics, because I'm currently running Windows 7 with Parallels 7 on OS X 10.8.5. Parallels 7 will not run on OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
I've been using Parallels (to run a few old rarely-used WIndows applications with features that would require a steep learning curve and major expense to purchase and learn a similar Mac app) occasionally since Parallels 3 and Windows XP. With each new release of OS X, each new release of Parallels, and each new Windows release, there are ALWAYS 'early adopter' bugs that get worked out over time.

Is it possible to install Firefox on Windows Server 2008?

I try to install Firefox 3.6 on Windows server 2008 but it says that the file is corrupted.
Is it possible to install Firefox on Windows Server 2008?

From the Parallels website:
32-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8 with: Windows 8, 8.1 (when available)
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0

Windows 8

I do suggest that you upgrade RAM to at least 8gig
if you haven't already.
FWIW, I currently use Win8/64 bit with Parallels on a 2011 Mini Server
using the windows environment for engineering applications and have
had no issues. I am running Mountain Lion but do not have the

Is it possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server in a Virtual Machine software like Parallels

I am wondering if it is possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server as a VM as my main application uses Windows VisualBasic and Fox Pro and requires a Static IP to connect to it, My other offices connects to Windows Server via RDP.
Basically I am researching a Server for the same purpose and since Mac Mini and OsX both are robust in nature it can fit the bill if every thing work fine.
Thanks

Possible to downgrade my E71 firmware?

After updating my E71 a week ago, i'm facing the following problems...
1. Phone makes click like sound whenever the phone beeps
2. Bluetooth transfer rate has decreased upto 60%
3. Web browser just closes (maybe crashes) while browsing
4. Very difficult to connect to Bluetooth file transfer service with PC
5. File manager still says memory card is in use even after disconnecting the phone from usb (in mass storage mode)
6. More problems being discovered....
Someone please tell me is there any way to downgrade the firmware? The people at Customer Care Center at my place says that it is not possible to downgrade the firmware anywhere around the world once it is upgraded... I'm really very much disappointed with my phone.. Someone help!

Use the Nokia Software updater to reinstall the software. When you go to install it tells you that you have the current latest version, and if you want to reinstall it. It downloads in most cases a fresh copy of the firmware and reinstalls it.
I have no problems with the latest firmware on mine. It might also be worth resetting it to factory defaults as well.

Is it possible to make a modal window resizable?

Is it possible to make a modal window resizable?
I am not sure that I have the best way to create modal windows in the first place.
I have a TitleWindow which is hidden, and when I want to display it I make it visible and add it to thePopUpManager.
For example here I have an "importing" window which is visible while the application imports some stuff:
    <mx:TitleWindow id="importingWindow" title="Importing Frame"
        layout="absolute" styleName="Blue"
        creationPolicy="all" visible="false"
        width="350" height="150"
        modalTransparency="0.3" modalTransparencyBlur="1" modalTransparencyColor="0x999999"
        modalTransparencyDuration="50">
            <mx:Label tabIndex="0" text="Importing... please wait!" left="55" top="45"/>
    </mx:TitleWindow>
            private function showImportingWindow():void
                importingWindow.visible=true;
                 PopUpManager.addPopUp( importingWindow, this, true );
                PopUpManager.centerPopUp( importingWindow );
            private function hideImportingWindow():void
                PopUpManager.removePopUp( importingWindow );
                importingWindow.visible = false;
How would it be possible for this window to be resizable?
If not through the TitleWindow, is there any other way to have a resizable window within the application? (i know the application window can be resizable, but what about windows within the application?)

Yes, but not as easily as you can make a normal window resizeable (AFAIK). You would need to handle it all yourself by adding a resize area with listeners, etc.
