T-23 needing to get xp pro re installed

My tennant asked me to fix her father's t-23 that she inherited. Her "geek" nephew, wiped the drive with a botched linux install, so I can't use the convenient (thinkpad) button for restoring windows xp. From what I've learned from reading the Lenovo site, the don't sell restore cd's you have to buy a whole new tatooed hard drive. That's a bit much in my opinion. What have you guy's been doing when you upgrade your hard drive's? Any suggestion's? Thanks in advance, Jim.

Welcome to the forum!
You'd need a set of recovery disks for T23, try eBay or post a WTB (want to buy) ad in the TPF Marketplace:

I forgot to delete my quicktime704.pkg file before I ran the 7.0 reinstall. Once I did that, the 7.0 and 6.5 reinstalls worked!

Adobe Pro is not a program. Is this Acrobat Pro? What OS are you ruinning? Are you downloading from the Adobe store or did you get a DVD to install from?

What sort of computer specs do I need to get Flash Pro publishing super fast?

I'm typing this after pressing ctrl enter and waiting for the swf to be created. The laptop I'm using has the specs below.
I'd tired of waiting so if I can afford it I'm going to buy a decent desktop pc (Mac out of my price range I think). I do use various other programs, but primarily I use Flash Pro CS5.5 (soon CS6).
I know very little about all the numbers you see when looking at computer specs and which ones need to be bigger to get Flash to compile faster. Can anyone help me?
Cheers

My Current (slow publishing) Laptop specs (or meaningless numbers to me)
Windows 7 Home Premium

It's all about the speed of your CPU and RAM. Laptops have the premium tax applied to them. To get a really fast laptop, you'll need to pay the price. They design laptops to be used via battery so the type of laptop you're targeting, which would have a modern i7+ processor, would be very expensive. At least $2k. They're designed to be as close to a desktop as possible and will drain battery considerably faster than what you're probably used to.
That isn't to say you can't get something much faster than you have.
What is your budget and must it be a laptop or are you open to using a desktop despite it being less convenient? A good way to think about it is you'll get double or more speed out of a desktop than a laptop for the same price so the question is relevant.
I have a modern i7 laptop and my i5 desktop literally beats it by double and cost half the price and has WAY more features.

Need help getting Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic to work

greetings.
i am using a Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic along with an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card, and i cannot for the life of me get my laptop to recognize audio coming from the mic. the mic switch on the cord is on, and the status light is lit up, and i can even hear my voice from the mic in the headphones, but the audio is not being inputted into the computer. i'm using winxp pro and have played around with all the audio settings in control panel with no luck. any suggestions? i thank you in advance for your time and consideration. take care.
regards,
jps

Headsets or microphones with a USB connection cannot be connected to the input connections on a sound card directly. Instead, they must be connected to a USB port on a PC.
They are treated as a separate audio device by Windows. They will be listed as a separate audio device in Device Manager as well as in Windows Multimedia panel. To adjust the volume of the headset or the microphone, use Windows Volume Control.

I need to reinstall Acrobat Pro 10

The computer, Acrobat Pro 10 was downloaded to is no longer working and I need to get Acrobat Pro installed on my new computer. I have the software license certificate.

You can download via : Acrobat XI, X - http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
If the original installation is accessible and was not deactivated you should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations so that you still have an extra activation if you ever need it for a backup installation.

Just bought a new imac, need to take logic off my macbook pro and install onto my imac

Just bought the new imac, and I need to get logic pro 9 off my macbook pro and onto my imac. Both my install licenses are used, so will I have to buy a new license as well. If any and all help would rock. Thanks, JASON

How did you receive Logic? Reinstall from the distribution media. You may be able to move the Logic application, but unless you know what and where the support files are it may prove difficult for it to work correctly.
I would assume you can obtain another license by calling AppleCare Customer Service unless you are moving Logic to a new computer and removing it from the other computer. In this case you do not need to purchase another license.

How to get premiere pro CS4 trial

few days back i downloaded premiere pro CS5 trial but due to low specifications it didnot work on my computer. so i need to get premiere pro CS4 trial but it is not available anywhere. how can i get it?
please help me.

Welcome to the forum.
As CS4 is no longer current, I kind of doubt that you will find the trial. You might try a site like ProDesign Tools, but most of their links are directly to Adobe's download site, so may not be of use.
I have not heard of any facility that maintains older trial downloads, but there are a few people here, who always surprise me with their "finds."
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if you buy one of the CS5 suites, you will get PrPro CS4 on the discs. You will be able to try that out for 30-days, and if you do not like it, Adobe will refund the purchase price. Remember, within 30 days.

How to get the Most RECENTLY installed JRE path and version ?

Hello Experts,
I am working on Installshield, and for some purpose, I need to get the MOST RECENTLY installed JRE version and Path. Now I have two choices :
1. Go into the directory " C:\Program Files\Java\" and get the most recently changed directory, ( that will be the installation directory of the most recently installed JRE ). And then search in the registry under : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Runtime Environment/ and look for the version which is having
the value of the key INSTALLDIR as the above found Installation Directory.
But in this approach, I'll never find the Installation dir or version, if the JRE is installed somewhere else than the default location.
2. Now this is the reverse. I first search in the registry, and get the Installation Directories of all the versions installed in the system, and then look at the file attributes ( may be by using some batch file ) and see which one is most recently installed.
My question is, is there any other way, by which I can get the most recently installed JRE's installation Path and version? Or can we trace it during the installation itself ? I mean when we install the JRE, it creates some log files in %TEMP% directory. Is it possible to trace the version and installation directory of the most recently installed JRE from the log file ?
Thanks
Gagan

Rendering times are pretty much based on processor speed if I have that right. Not much you can do about that other than buy a new computer. Your day to day work in the finder and accessing of files would be faster with your boot drive internal. One thing you can do is ensure your FCP System Settings are on the fastest disk you have. If you put a pair of drives internal and made a RAID volume for them you would improve your write speed when capturing and for any other read/write operations. You would have to be sure you kept that backed up properly because you double the odds of a failure when two drives spread the data between them. There are many RAID options.
You could also bump up the RAM but you'd have to look at your processes to see if you are being limited by RAM. I'm guessing not but it's not impossible. If you are accessing scratch disks due to RAM limitations that would be one thing you could do.
I would never bother connecting an external via USB if there was an esata or firewire option. I use an esata card internally to give me access to estata storage. I also keep an external FW800 drive for a mirror backup of my boot drive. All my data and booting is internal with all my backups external. Each internal has an external and I have additional externals that I keep off site to protect against fire and theft.

I currently have iPhoto 8.1.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to update to the latest version. I have had to work backward, but I can only get back to 9.1, which will not install because it says I need at least 9.0 to install it. Is 9.0 available?

Upgrading from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 9 requires a purchase. There are two ways to get to iPhoto 9:
1 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
2 - if your MBP meets the requirements upgrade you system for free to Mavericks. Then you can purchase the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1, from the App Store.

I am working on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) with boot camp running Windows 7 pro 64-bit. Windows crashes quite often now-a-days and I need to get this fixed. I heard that updating boot camp can help. Currently I am running Version 3.0.4 (322).

I need to know which update(s) I can apply to help stabalize the system.

Typing the body of the thread message in the title, huh? -)

Only Apple could hamstring and tie Mac OS to Windows. There isn't any other than whether you can download the drivers into Windows (you can) but Apple puts a block on the installer setup even if your mac does not support it.
Windows 7 needs at least Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.3 is what you should already have. And you are not getting security updates if you don't have at least 10.6.8 as was pointed out. --- you arent using Software Update as you should. And you should backup and clone Mac (and Windows) as well.
You need Mountain Lion to use Boot Camp 5.x which supports Windows 7 & 8 and 64-bit.
I would upgrade to Lion if you can realizing that Rosetta and PowerPC are no longer supported though.

Is there a download of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software if I'm not using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3?
Yes, you can download the Boot Camp 5 Support Software here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
How do I use the Boot Camp 5 Support Software I downloaded from the web page?
The download file is a .zip file. Double click it to uncompress it.
Double-click the Boot Camp disk image.
Copy the Boot Camp and "$WinPEDriver$" folders to the root level of a USB flash drive or hard drive that is formatted with the FAT file system (see question below for steps on how to format).
Install Windows, leaving the flash or hard drive attached to the USB port of your Mac.
Installation of the drivers can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt the installation process. A completion dialog box will appear when everything is installed. Click Finish when the dialog appears.
When your system restarts your Windows 8 installation is done.
Note: If the flash drive or hard drive was not attached when you installed Windows and was inserted after restarting into Windows 8, double-click the Boot Camp folder, then locate and double click the "setup.exe" file to start the installation of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software.
How do I format USB media to the FAT file system?
Use Disk Utility to format a disk to use with a Windows computer. Here's how:
Important: Formatting a disk erases all the files on it. Copy any files you want to save to another disk before formatting the disk.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the disk you want to format for use with Windows computers.
Click Erase, and choose one of the following from the Format pop-up menu:
If the size of the disk is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT).
If the size of the disk is over 32 GB, choose ExFAT.
Type a name for the disk. The maximum length is 11 characters.
Click the Erase button and then click Erase again.
Which versions of Windows are supported with Boot Camp 5?
64-bit versions of Windows 8 and Windows 7 are supported using the Boot Camp 5 Support Software. If you need to use a 32-bit version, you need to use Boot Camp 4 Support Software, and you must use Windows 7. 32-bit versions of Windows 8 are not supported via Boot Camp.

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop. I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop. How do I do this?

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
How do I do this?
(when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)

Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said. You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before. You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).
After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy.
