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!

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!

Need Help upgrading IQ816t Touchscreen from Vista Home Prem to Win7 Ult

I purchased (eBAY) 25" IQ816t with Vista Home Prem, and seller provided Win7 Ult AIO disk with the deal. Seller reset to base OS prior to shipping to me. Everything works fine w/Vista.
When trying to run the AIO disk, using UPGRADE mode, I get conflicting message(s)...you can not upgrade from 64 bit to 32 bit;...and you can not upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit. What gives? I am doing something wrong?
Seller firm in that they had Win7 Ult running fine and that the AIO disk should work fine.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

I have the same model you have. Our model is Vista 64, so if you are trying to upgrade, you can only upgrade to Win 7 64, and it sounds like you got a Win 7 32 disc. See if it will let you do a full install of it and not an upgrade, if it won't, you need to get the Win7 64 disc for this.

How to upgrade the Vista from Vista Home Basic to Home Premium

Hi there just joined the forum, so hello to everyone.
Could someone please point me in the right direction with my problem.
I have tried to sort it out myself but I just don't understand what to do.
I have had my Toshiba Laptop preinstalled with Vista home basic now for six months, everything was fine so I decided to upgrade to Home premium.
I upgraded no problem and everything was fine until I had problem with the laptop and had to reformat.
And there is my problem, through being a little naive and silly I have no record or instructions to get my upgrade back.
I have tried to look for a solution but Just don't know what to do.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated,thanks in advance.

If you contact Microsoft where you originally purchased the product key and explain that you've recovered your system but didn't write down the product key for the update they should be able to give you a new one and you can use the Windows Anytime Upgrade icon in the welcome centre again.
That should allow you to upgrade again. For future reference though, you should write down the product key and anything else that you need in case you need to recover your machine again. Good luck :)

I just upgraded to CC (from LR 5) on Macbook Pro and can no longer import to Network Drive. New version is LR 5.7. Help?

Just like the title says: MBP, retina works great with LR 5 installed from CD. Added CC, upgraded to LR 5.7 and now import "hangs" with no activity. Have been using LR since version 2.
More info: the problem is writing to my network drive (which has been working since LR 2... It seems a Temporary Folder is created with permissions 755 (owner=rw, group=r, others=r),
then nothing more.
Has something changed with respect to LR handling of network drives. This is a Linux CIFS/SMB share (again, been using since LR 2). Catalog is local on my MBP.

This is my post and I'm new, so I may not be providing the answer in the "usual" manner. (Feel free to educate me!)
Solution:
The mounted volume on MacBook is /Volumes/photowork. Notice the lowercase 'p' in photowork. In LR I had selected a mount point
with *uppercase* 'p'. See screen shot. Summary: The already-selected mount point was /Volumes/Photoshop. LR had no complaints. When
I changed the mount point to /Volumes/photowork LR imported as expected.
This only became an issue since the upgrade, as I simply never tinkered with mount points and so on. This archive
server has files back to 2000 on it. Thanks so much to those who responded.

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!

Lost User from 7 home premium after upgrading to 8.1.

I was having installer problems with windows 7 home premium. Nothing would install and the computer was just generally was getting more and more non functional. I couldn't even make a backup system image or restore from a image I had made
6 months earlier. I decided to just go ahead and install 8.1 over the 7 home premium I was having problems with. I purchased the upgrade, downloaded it and installed it. Now I have lost my user from 7 home premium. I cannot access any files that I used to
have ownership of with my "Jim" user. I seem to have a user of "[email protected]" and none of my external drives or local files will open any more. Can I insert a "Jim" user back into
8.1 and then access the unavailable files and folders. Why did 8.1 change my user name and permissions? How do I get back into my things?
My comp is a Velocity running Intel CoreI7 cpu [email protected] processor. I have 6 drives installed into it And 3 monitors on two display adapters.
Jim

Hello Jim,
Do you mean that you install the Windows 8.1?
If yes, you can't 'insert a "Jim" user back into 8.1 and then access the unavailable files and folders.', it is by design.
Do you still have the folder related to user 'Jim' in driver?
If yes and you can't access the folder, please refer to the following article about taking folder ownership in Windows 8.

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.

Cannot connect to the iTunes Store from my home network since I upgraded to ios 6

I own an iPad 2 and recently upgraded to ios 6. Since then, I cannot connect to the iTunes store from my home network. I can navigate any other site and access any other application. I can even reach the iTunes store through My Personal Hotspot and through my office network.
Has anyone experienced something similar? My network carrier is Telmex and I know for sure, they block port 25. Any guess on whether there could be a setting impeding connection?
Help!!!

Hi Nickey,
If you are having difficulty connecting to the iTunes store from your PC there are a number of things you can try to get connected again. Details are available in this article -

Why are you upgrading to Pro? About the only benefit would be to log on to a corporate network. Do you need to do this?

TS1363 I was upgrading iPhone OS from 5.1 to 5.1.1 on Win 7 using iTunes 10.6.1.7. The iPhone hung. It is no longer visible by iTunes on Win 7

While upgrading iPhone OS from 5.1 to 5.1.1 on Win 7 using iTunes 10.6.1.7, the iPhone hung. I could not get iTunes to find it and Win 7 does not see it.
When I connect the iPhone to the USB, Win 7 issues the welcome sound, but that is it. The same happens when I disconnect iPhone.
The Devise Manager has the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver correct without any problem. I updated this driver called usbaapl64.
The iPhone is still hung.
I restarted the iPod service
I restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service
I tried to empty and delete the temp directory in C:\users\myname\AppData\Local\ but could not
The iTunes I am using is the latest version
I updated the Apple Mobile Device Driver as stated above correctly
The iPhone is still hung and is not recognized by Win 7 or iTunes, so I cannot restore the OS to the previous working version
What else can I do to restore the previous working OS on my iPhone 4

I was connecting the iPhone 4 to a USB 3.0 port. I was told by Apple Express Support (at US$29.99) not to use USB 3.0 and to use USB 2.1 instead.
If you are connecting your iPhone to the computer using a USB 3.0 port, disconnect it immediately. iPhones will lock up if you try to update while using a connection through a USB 3.0 port.
Disconnect the iPhone from the computer
Go to Device Manager and find the connected USB port. Click the mouse right button and update the driver
Shut the iPhone by pressing the sleep button and the home button concurrently for some time
Move the USB cable to a USB 2.1 port or older without the iPhone.
Restart iTunes.
Connect the iPhone
Your computer should recognize the phone and reloads the correct USB 2.1 driver (Apple Mobile Device)
Then iTunes should recognize the iPhone and starts reloading the firmware.
When that is complete it may ask if you wish to restore, naturally you say YES
iTunes will restore the iOS
Using iTunes, restore the latest backup to get your data back.
When all of the above is completed. Start enjoying your iPhone.
If the above does not work. Throw your iPhone out of the window and get a replacement Android phone.

ITunes Plus Upgrade--No help from iTunes Support

I appologize for this lengthy post. Believe me I have more to the story, but want to keep it as short as possible. Bottom line is I'm looking for help with iTunes plus upgrade please.
My specific problem is getting customer support to upgrade my old iTunes songs iTunes to iTunes plus so I can use them on our new Sonos player. It’s now been almost a week since this issue arose and there has been no help in getting my problems solved. My main problem is that there is no telephone customer support for iTunes. All of the support for iTunes is now done online through emails. That is a huge issue in my mind, but not the purpose for this post.
Here is my problem..
I have two iTunes accounts. Account # 1 was my primary account until 2008/09 time frame when I switched from a PC to Macbook Pro. I have 314 songs from 2006-08 that were purchased on Account #1 that I'm trying to upgrade to iTunes Plus. Account #2 is now my primary iTunes account. The Account #2 songs are all iTunes plus and do not need upgrading. I now have all the purchases from both accounts on my Mac Mini serving as a HTC, but the old iTunes DRM songs cannot be played on Sonos until they get upgraded.
My issue solely relates to my old songs on Account #1. I have been trying to upgrade my account 1 songs since last Thursday. My iTunes store account is currently logged into Account 1 when attempting the updgrade. When I first made the purchase, I got the on screen message that I’d get an email with instructions to complete the purchase. Well three days passed and I never got the email. I also noticed that my purchase of $104 showed up as three “pending” credit card charges on my bank account records. This seemed odd so I called Apple for help. Big mistake!!!!!
When I attempted to call Apple Support I was continually given to “technical support” for either my Macbook or Mac Mini. They never listened to what I was saying. In fact one rep told me I would need to pay the $39 fee for technical support on my issue!!!! Finally, after speaking to three different individuals one of the “tech support” reps was able to contact an iTunes support rep. Note, that I could not speak to them, rather it was strictly apple employee to apple employee. I was placed on hold for thirty minutes while they worked on my issue. After thirty minutes I was told to go to the iTunes store and start over. I went to iTunes store and completed the purchase again. Shortly thereafter, I received an email response from iTunes saying:
Dear Tom,
Your iTunes Plus music upgrade could not be successfully completed because there was a problem with one of the items that was to be upgraded. Please return to your Upgrade My Library page and click Buy and your upgrade should be processed successfully. We are sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your business.
Sincerely,
iTunes Store Team
Based on this email. I went to iTunes store again and tried the purchase….again. I then got the same email response a short time later. I have attempted two other times to buy the upgrades but got no email responses at all. Late Sunday, I called Apple again and also used their online iTunes support page. I got one response late Sunday evening asking a question about error messages, I answered their question by providing them the above iTunes notice. That email late Sunday night was the last communication I've recieved from iTunes support. It’s now three days later and I’m still waiting to hear back from someone at iTunes support. All I want to do is spend 104 dollars to upgrade my 300+ songs, but no one at Apple seems to care.
I am really disappointed in Apple’s customer service. I’ve been a fan of Apple for quite some time, between my wife and I, we have 6 Apple products in our home. The lack of customer support is really disgraceful.
Anyone have any ideas.

This is a follow up. Finally, after almost 72 hours, I recieved another email from the original iTunes support representative. According to her, the problem is that one or more of my songs on the account are either not eligible for the upgrade or the file is corrupted and can not be upgraded. In short I cannot use the "Buy All" feature because I will always hit this roadblock. The only way to resolve this, is to upgrade each song individually or select a few songs at a time to upgrade.
I will have to do this until I get the song or songs that is causing the problem. Once I have identified the song(s), I can chose to repurchase them and get a refund. All songs today are at the DRM free format so repurchased songs will automatically be the upgraded file.
So I'll now begin the upgrade of the 314 songs. I guess it could be worse.
Okay, I got an answer and an offer of a refund, but this answer certainly could have been provided three days ago. Am I being unreasonable?
