Upgraded from Vista ultimate to Win. 7. Don't know how to install the tv tuner

I upgraded from Vista ultimate to Win. 7. When I tried to install the TV tuner, nothing seemed to happen.

Save the TV Tuner driver to the desk top and use 7zip to extract the files. There may be a folder there named SRC. Open that and look for the Windows install icon.
If you give me your full model number and the version of W7 (32 or 64 bit) you are running I can help you further with this manual installation procedure.

I'm upgrading from Lightroom 4 for Win to Lightroom 5 for Mac. Can I buy the upgrade version?

I'm upgrading from Lightroom 4 for Win to Lightroom 5 for Mac. Can I buy the upgrade version?

Yes.
Unlike most of Adobe's perpetually licensed software, the Lightroom serial number is multi-platform: works on Mac and/or Windows. You just need the correct installer for the platform (.dmg for Mac or .exe for Win).
If you own any previous version of Lightroom then you can buy the upgrade to LR5.

Upgrade from Windows Home Server 2011

Even though Windows Server 2012 Essentials is being mentioned as a replacement for Windows Home Server 2011, there doesn't seem to be any documentation or mention of can you upgrade from Windows Home Server 2011 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials?
Will this work with the beta download and will we then be able to upgrade this version to the RC and/or release version?
As you may guess I have a Windows Home Server 2011 and am interested in looking at Windows Server 2012 Essentials to see what it offers me. The storage spaces sounds exactly what I want to replace the drive extender on the previous home server version. The
problem is that I don't mind sacrificing my present server box by installing the beta but it would be nice if it actually retained what settings it could via an upgrade option, which I could then have a chance of using with a proper release version.

Just clarifying about the 'upgrade path' and 32b vs 64b.
Yes, no in-place upgrade. However, one could theorise about some form of 'migration' being possible, where the list of users, the content of your shares, the current backups, would be 'moved' from old box to new.
I was in fact pretty sure no such process existed. (Wouldn't it be neat though? AND in future _at least theoretically_ possible, using processes similar to SBS AD migration.)
From this perspective putting the new box onto the network is similar to replacing WHSv1 with WHS11, in that nothing is carried over. No gain, but no lesser. Working on currently available information.
The later comment about the work laptop is, TTBOMK, a resounding 'NO'. When attempting to join a member of another AD the 'connect' process stated 'You must 1st remove the PC from the other AD'. I haven't tested this extensively but believe that PC's _capable_
of operating in an AD (Pro, vs Home, versions) will be made members of the WS12E AD. It is only PC's that do not have 'domain join' capability that are left in workgroup mode.
TTBOMK, AFAICS, so far, etc...

Need Detailed instructions to install new hard drive & upgrade from Vista Home to Win7 Enterprise

Hi folks,
I have this laptop machine:
Lenovo 3000 G530 4446-23U Laptop Computer - Intel Pentium Dual-Core T3400, 2GB DDR2, 160GB HDD, DVDRW, 15.4" WXGA, Vista Home Basic
I need to install another hard drive and I also want to upgrade to Win7 Enterprise Edition while doing the rebuild.
I am very nervous about doing this as I upgraded a W530 from Win7 basic to Win7 Enterprise and ran into all kinds of drive issues. And I thought that would be about as straightforward as you could get, but it a far cry from that.
I do not want to have to go through that again - I still don't have everything working on it.
Can someone please tell me the precise steps to take to do this upgrade and how to ensure that I obtain ALL the drivers for EVERYTHING on the laptop and how to ensure that all those drivers are correct and exactly how to install them.
If there are other issues associated with upgrading from Vista Home to Win7 Enterprise, please advise of those and the solutions.
Thanks very much.....
Gus

hi gmercanti,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
The easiest way to upgrade Vista to Windows 7 is to run the Windows 7 Installer inside WIndows. Follow this guide for instructions. After upgrading, you will need to install the Windows 7 Drivers for Lenovo G530 4446 via http://support.lenovo.com.
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
Let me know if you get any errors.
Cheers

Satellite M70 - Update from WXP Home to WXP Pro

Hi.
I want to update my Satellite M70 from xp home edition to PRO becouse i want to join a DOMAIN and many TOSHIBA fetures cannot be installed like(Toshiba Power Managment) a message of you don't have the acsess rights to run Toshiba Power Saver, Or config free, So can you help me?
Thanks in advanced

Hi
If you install the Toshiba drivers manually you have to do it in the right order!
The installation instruction document could help you to find out how to install the drivers!
But first of all, be sure that you use the right drivers for the right notebook because on the Toshiba driver page you can find 2 different M70 series.
Dont mix the notebooks!

Can I upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to Pro?

Can I upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to Pro?

As I indicated, the store gives an upgrade from Std to Pro, though I think the price is not appropriate. If you go to the basic page for Acrobat, they are no pushing the subscription version. If you do to the buying guide you get the regular version option (http://www.adobe.com/content/dotcom/en/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html). The upgrade is $199, which I think is crazy. Something like $70 is more appropriate, the difference in cost between Std and Pro upgrades, or at least $150 for the difference of the full products. If the Std had been an upgrade, the cost of a full upgrade is not reasonable. Anyway, a screen capture of the cost is below:
So apparently the guys on the chat have no clue what they are talking about. However, that does not surprise me. What bothers me is some of the unreasonable pricing as I see it in the store.

Upgrade my OS from Xp Home to Xp Pro

Good day!
One of my important applications don't run with my recent OS Windows Xp Home Edition and I bound to upgrade my Operating System to Windows Xp Professional. I knew I can purchase from local dealer for Xp Pro, but what I want is from Toshiba itself because of its imbedded support for drivers, as in the content of their product recovery cd. I am working with PLC that will run only on Windows Xp Pro and right now my notebook can't be used for this purpose. I'm trying to reach Toshiba support website but I don't know how to start informing them my needs. Thanks that I recently surfed this community forum that in other way around would help me and would bring me suggestions how to inform Toshiba. What Toshiba site should I go? Support? Downloads? May somebody will help me how?
Regards to all members of the forum!

Hi Camilo
I see you are a little bit confused and need some answers ;)
I would like to clear up some misconception.
1) You can only purchase the Toshiba recovery CD with the same OS which was delivered with your notebook.
In your case its a Win XP Home. If you want to use XP Pro you have to buy an original Microsoft OS.
2) Toshiba provides XP drivers on the own Toshiba driver page and you can install it on the fresh installed XP Pro OS.
You can find the drivers here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com -> Support & Downloads -> Support homepage -> Download Drivers
3) It seems its not possible to contact the Toshiba directly.
You can use a support hotline or if you want to order any parts or you have some problems with your machine you have to ask the authorized ASP in your country for a help!

Upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Ultimate

I have a T61 with Home Premium that came OEM. I bought a Vista Ultimate with SP1 Upgrade online (download only). Later realized that I should have bought the "Anytime" upgrades that MS offers. Too late now though, no refunds on the download, so I am trying to figure out a way to make it work.
I have a few questions and your help is greatly appreciated:
1. Can I install from the downloaded file or do I need to burn a DVD with the files I downloaded and boot from DVD?
2. What is the best way to get the applications and drivers that came with the T61 for the Vista Ultimate version?
Any tips or suggestions are welcome. I am going to try this tomorrow so I am really hoping it works out.
Srini

Any ideas anyone? I even called Thinkpad support but they refered me to the forums. Said they don't support non-OEM upgrades..
Also, I understand that I will lose the backup and recovery partition that comes with the OEM if I install Vista Ultimate fresh. Is that an issue? I've never really used that partition in the past. I am planning to use the Ultimate version's feature to image my PC after install so I can recover from that instead in case of a failure. Does that feature work well usually?

Upgrading from Vista Home Premium to 7 Ultimate

I'm upgrading my PC from Vista Home Premium Edition to Window 7 Ultimate Edition, but I have to do a custom (clean) install. Will Photoshop CS4 still work? If so, what's the best way to do this without killing Photoshop? will it allow me to reinstall onto a different OS? I had the same issue when I changed from an XP maching to a Vista Machine - Photoshop wouldn't work at all.

As far as I know you will have to de-activate and uninstall Photoshop before upgrading the OS and then reinstall and re-activate under Win7.
Even if it weren't necessary I'd advise it anyway.
Don't forget to save out any actions, brushes and any other personal extras!

Install logic 9 upgrade from logic 7 on macbook pro retina

i bought a new MBP retina, (no disc drive) and want to install logic. my logic studio 9 is an upgrade from logic pro 7, and the 7 won't run on the new com.
So how do I do this install?

Could be you khave a corrupted Win 7 install file/files.
Try downloading the Win 7 ISO for the version you have from here.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/download-windows-7-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit- direct-download-links/
Then burn that ISO to a USB or DVD, USB would be better.

Problems when upgraded from 3.0 to 3.2. Need help please!!

Hi everybody,
I recently upgraded from 3.0 to 3.2. My 3.0 version was working perfectly fine.
MY OS is win 2000.
Database oracle 10.2.0
Oracle HTTP server installed companion cd.
The steps I followed to upgrade:
I unzipped apex 3.2 in a new folder called apex_3.2 and ran apexins.sql as sysdba.
I copied new images folder from apex_3.2\apex to HTTP_Home\Apache\Apache
I then ran apxldimg.sql C:\apex_3.2.
C:\apex_3.2 is the base directory where I unzipped apex_3.2.
Then I restarted HTTP server and tried logging in apex page.
But the images are not proper, and I am not able to login. The browser says the page has errors.
It says *'object expected'*.
Please let me know what could be wrong. What step I have missed.....
The upgrade is very important.
Thanking in advance,
Deepika.

Hello,
apxldimg.sql is for EPG.
Does your image alias in dad configuration file correct?
What parameters you pass to apexins.sql script?

I have a time capsule connected directly to fiber connection. I have connected a windows server directly to TC and configured it for remote desktop connection. From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home. What config I need on TC?

I have a time capsule directly connected to fibre optic point out. All pcs and macs are connected wirelessly to the internet. I have connected a windows server pc to TC. When configured for Remote desktop connection, I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet. I guess I need to change some settings in TC to get some ip adress for the remote desktop connection from my home. Anyone who can help me out? Appreciate it.

I am a little lost now.. I have read again your title and your first post.. and they seem inconsistent.
In the title you state.
From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home.
Interanet is not a word I know.. I assumed intranet...are you talking about internet or intranet? And just to be clear say WAN or LAN.. !! Is your home part of the interanet??
In the first post you state,
I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet.
Now this is more normal.. the issue is not in the home at all, it is accessible from there but fails from internet. If this is correct, then you can do a few obvious things to determine where the problem is.
But first I need to know are you actually testing from a different internet connection to your home lan.. you are not just trying the public IP from inside the LAN as that will fail due to the TC not doing NAT Loopback.
I am also assuming the TC is the only router in the network, and has the public IP on the WAN interface.
And I am also assuming you have turned on the ping responder and you can actually ping your public ip from the internet and get a response. This helps no end in figuring out where there are issues. Strange but I have no idea if there is a ping responder in the TC WAN so you might need to forward that as well. Also if you have a dynamic public ip address are you using dyndns or no-ip or some other service to connect.
1. Test bypassing the TC.. plug the internet connection straight into the windows server,, and test if you have access. If yes, the TC is the problem.. if not, your setup on the windows server is wrong.. look at firewall in particular.
2. Assuming from test 1 the TC is the problem, Post the screen shots of the port forwarding setup for us to look at.. that is by far the easiest way to check it out.
There are lots of references to port forwarding in the TC.. eg
http://must-know-mac.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-port-forward-time-capsule.html
The things that generally go wrong are firewall on the computer that is accepting the port.
The ISP doesn't allow connections on a particular port. (not likely in your case)
The router is behind another router.. double NAT will kill any port forward.
Upnp has already allocated a port.. not an issue as TC doesn't use upnp although a reboot of everything after you set port forwards is well worth it.. amazing how things don't stick properly without a reboot.
IP on the receiving device is not static and so changes.
Not enough or right type of ports are opened. This is always messier than it looks as one port is often not enough for two way communications.

Upgrade from Final Cut Express to Pro 5.0

I think I made a stupid mistake. I purchased Final Cut Pro 5.0 upgrade thinking I could upgrade from Final Cut Express. But when I am asked to enter the previous versions serial number, it does not accept it. Is there any way to do this or am I going to have to buy the full version of Final Cut Pro?
Also, I have a G4 Powerbook with the following specs. Is it going to run the program if I do finally get it installed?
CPU Speed: 867 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 640 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX

To upgrade from FCE you need the Final Cut Pro 5 Upgrade from Final Cut Express. I just upgraded FCE and that worked fine for me.
Hope this helps answer your question...

Upgrading from Original iPhone to iPhone 3GS help!

Okay, I just read an article stating that it will cost a fat wallet to upgrade from the 3G to the 3GS, because of the whole contract early/late upgrade thing whatever. I still have the normal iPhone and I didn't upgraded to the new 3G. My contract has long been done and fulfilled. Do I have to pay the same crazy amount as 3G users to upgrade or will I have the benefit of buying it with the original $199/$299 price?

Hey Leprechaun251,
I think you may have some luck here. As you said, you have already completed your 2-year contract, right?
If so, then I think you can enjoy that subsidized price by opening a new two-year AT&T wireless service contract.
Still, I think you should contact AT&T to clear this ideas. Hope this helps!
