Today told not to update to Win 8.1 (new computer)

today Advised by Lenovo 'not' to upgrade to 8.1 because...
Still in Box 520 57317164 - haven't set it up yet !!! Called Lenovo Software support division today (1/9/14) - advised by more than one tech there not to do the free 8.1 upgrade at present time -they've been getting 'distress' calls by those who have done the upgrade with various problems as a result thereof & that required drivers are not yet available for win 8.1 therefore trying to run 8.1 on a machine with only Win 8 drivers can cause problems -and that when available, Microsoft will include the 8.1 drivers for the Win 8. machines as a normal 'update" and/or when it's clear to do the 8.1 update.
I am pretty uneducated when it comes to computers. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
thanks so much

Hi,
One hour maximum is too short to update from Win 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation Build 9600 to a newer Win 8.1
Due to poor links like a link to FAQ a user considering to buy Win 8.1 gets too short time to do it ?
Any more sophisticated ways available ?
One a user decides to update, why not to give more time for her/him ?
How to update to a reseller version ?

You cannot update Enter[rise Evaluation build to anything. You need to do a fresh install read about it

I bought a new computer and tried to authorize it. It states that I already have 5 computers that are authorized. I no longer have any of those 5 computers. How do I deauthorize all of them, as it is not shown as an option, as my new computer can'

I bought a new computer and tried to authorize it. It states that I already have 5 computers that are authorized. I no longer have any of those 5 computers. How do I deauthorize all of them, as it is not shown as an option, as my new computer since it is not authorized.
Thanks

You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

How do I update I pad on a new computer without loosing data. Old computer got virus and it's got my I tunes account on it.

How do I update I pad on a new computer without loosing data. Old computer got virus and it's got my I tunes account on it.

You simply sync the iPad to the new computer. It will tell you that it is already synced with another one though, and will give you the option to erase it or transfer its contents to the new one. An iPad can only be synced with one computer at a time.
Beware that only your iTunes and App Store purchases will sync. If your iTunes library contained music obtained from other sources, you have to find a way to transfer them directly from your sick computer to the new one.
I hope your new computer is a Mac, a replacement PC will eventually suffer the same fate.

Finder / Automator not seeing updated (by Win) directories

Hi all
I am trying to create a workflow where part of the acction is done by Win, then some part by Mac.
Win and Mac part a working fine by themself.
Parallels runs Windows XP
The Win part creates a file inside the Win directory. This same directory is visable on the Mac side but does not update when Win saves the file.
Consequently Automator does not see the update and never starts the next part of the process on the Mac side.
How can I force the update on the Mac side?
Thanks for any help

Told not to update. Why?

i live in the UK and my mother recently bought me an iphone during a stop over in Singapore, the guy in the shop told her not to update the software via itunes stating that the phone would stop working, does anyone have any idea why?

I would just keep your model there has been a known error with firm 1.1.1 I have returned 1 phone already with it not being able to synch to well. I have 2 friends with a hacked old firm and they report no problems as I'm having so I might downgrade the firm to the older to see if it resolves the issue.

Why can't I open photos after updating an iphoto Library on new computer?

I have saved a 13,000 photos from my old Mac onto a hard disc, and am now trying to import those photos onto a new Mac computer.
When I copied the 2012 iPhoto Library onto my new computer, a prompt came up to tell me that the Library needed to be updated in order to be used on this computer. So I followed the steps and it seems to have successfully updated itself. But see all the photos when I scroll through the Library... but, when I try to click to open it, I get a HAZARD sign -- triangle with a big exclamation mark.
Please, can someone advise how I get my old photos onto my new computer?
Thanks. Corinna

That sign turns up when iPhoto loses the connection to the actual file.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Installing updated Master Collection on a new computer

I started with Master Collection 3 and eventually updated to version 5. I am planning on buying a new computer with Windows 7 (current is Windows XP.) Would I be able to reinstall my Master Collection on the new computer with no problems from Adobe?
Thanks,
Shab

Thank you Hunt and all others who helped. All the information given to me
was correct and identical from all individuals and the official document
below from Adobe confirms it. It was not a matter of trust or otherwise, but
I needed to see it in black and white before plunging into buying a new
expensive computer, which now I can do. Here is a copy of the relevant
information of the License agreement in regards to the issue discussed:
2.5 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the important restrictions set
forth in Section 2.6, the
primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under
Section 2.2 (“Primary User”) may
install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either
a portable Computer or a
Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the
portable or home Computer is not
used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.
By the way, one of the main reasons for buying a new computer is because my
Windows XP does not support Premiere and After Effects version 5.0, so it's
time to upgrade to a new machine with Windows 7 and faster processor.
Thanks again,
Shab

Personal folders not visible in Thunderbirds after migration to new computer

I moved my Thunderbird profile to a new computer (and edited profiles.ini to point to the backed-up profile. Now in Thunderbird on the new machine I have the Local Folders Inbox, Sent, Trash, but the Personal Files folder with my saved and categorized mail sub-folders is not visible in the left-hand panel. It appears to be intact in the /Mail/Local Folders/Personal Folders.sbd/Archives.sbd folder, just not visible when I run Thunderbird.
What do I have to do to get these folders and their subfolders back again.
...Doug

Doug,
I had the same problem, and believe I found the solution. I was transferring a profile from one computer running Win XP to a new computer running Win 7.
I could see the file folders evident, as you did, using Windows Explorer to look in the profile folder, but they were not showing in the left hand pane of Thunderbird when it was running as they did in the XP machine.
I went to the "Tools" menu, selecting "Account Settings," and then clicked on "Local Folders" in the left portion of the dialog box. Then in the right portion of the dialog box under "Local directory:" I selected the "Browse" button. I then browsed down into the "...AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\Mail\Local Folders\Outlook Express Import.sbd" ( in my case - the very last portion of yours might be different but should probably still be a ".sbd" file, and of course, the eight x's would be the random name Thunderbird assigns to your Profile file. ) I then clicked the "OK" button at the bottom of the dialog box. ( I believe the program then informs you it must close and restart. ) Anyway, go ahead and close Thunderbird and restart at this point.
When it restarts, my old folder structure appeared as it did on the earlier machine, and all the files were intact.

Does Touch lose Latest Update when I sink to new computer?

I've got to sync my sons ipod Touch to a new computer which is a PC.
It was originally synced to his sisters iMAC. And we've just recently purchaes that $20 update for the Touch. Can anyone tell me if when we sync to the PC will we lose the update, and will we have to re-download and pay another $20?
I've seen in other posts that when you've downloaded the update it is saved to a specific folder on the MAC. But can that same file be transferred to the PC if in fact it is wiped out when the Touch is synced to the PC?

If you have more than one iPod Touch associated with your iTunes you
will be able to apply the software upgrade to all units. You can not
apply the update to a Touch that is not associated with your library
and if you take an upgraded Touch to another library and do a
complete restore that upgrade will no longer be active.
The iPod touch January Software Upgrade can only be synced to iPod touch from the primary iTunes library. If the user is manually managing music and video on iPod, this is the computer where they first set up the iPod or first set it up after restoring the iPod. The "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file can be copied from the computer where you purchased it to your primary iTunes library computer, and sync the iPod from there.
The file is located here:
Mac OS X:
~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
Windows Vista:
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
Note: These locations are hidden by default in Windows. You can these locations by choosing "Show hidden files and folder" in the View tab of the Folder Options Control Panel.
Once you have copied the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file to the computer with your home library, make a new folder named Mobile Applications in the correct location, and place the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file there. Open iTunes and sync your iPod touch.

Is there any way to get songs that were not purchased on itunes on to my new computer without deleting them?

My family recently got a new Gateway windows 7 computer, because our old one crashed. I had to reinstall itunes, and now have absolutely no music on the computer. When I plug my ipod touch into the computer it gives me like two choices it asks if I want to sync just the songs purchased on itunes, or erase everything on my ipod and sync with my itunes library on the computer which I'm pretty sure is nothing. I would rather not have to go through the hassel of getting all the songs not purchased on itunes back onto my ipod because they are basically all from cd's. So is there anyway that I can get all the songs from my ipod back onto my computer? I don't know what to do and am on the verge of tears PLEASE HELP!!!!

Playlists not showing up after moving itunes to new computer

moved itunes to new computer and used an externa;l harddrive to move "iTunes" folder over. the most recent "setup" of itunes on old computer is not showing on new computer. For example "music" file size on external drive is 133GB - on new computer itunes, only 33GB. and, playlists have disapeared. any ideas?

See Make a split library portable for some background on moving the library successfully. You need the main iTunes library.itl file, its supporting files and the Album Artwork folder as well.
If you can find that data it should be possible to put everything together in the right shape and make it work.
Otherwise I have two scripts called ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats which may prove useful.
