Upgrade Windows Vista 64 to Windows 7 64

Hi there,
am a proud owner of the MBP17 Unibody and very satisfied.
I installed Windows Vista Ultimate 64 and it runs like a charm, now I want to upgrade to Windows 7, but it says I cannot install it because it cannot access some directory.
Any other tried this already without reinstalling Windows 7?
Thanks

I would do some checking around the forums before installing Win7 64-bit. I've seen reports that it does not work properly with suggestion to stay with the 32-bit version until Win7 is released and Apple can formally evaluate compatibility. It may simply be that new drivers will be required to establish full 64-bit compatibility.
I've installed the 32-bit public beta and it seems to work just fine on my MBP (same as yours.) However, I did not do an upgrade from Vista.

Upgrading from windows vista to windows 7

I am upgrading from windows vista to windows 7. The upgrade I am using is going to delete all of the information I currently have on my hard drive.
I have itunes set up with all of the correct artist/album/track/cover image information for my files. I also have consolidated all of these tracks to an external hard drive - no mp3s in itunes are stored on my local hard drive. I consolidated these tracks after I edited all of the artist/album/track/cover image information.
My questions is this. Once I reinstall itunes on windows 7, when I import these tracks from the external hard drive - are the edits to the files (artist/album/track/cover image information) going to be shown in itunes like they were prior to the windows upgrade? I have a large number of tracks that I have invested a huge amount of time into and I really don't have the time or patience to duplicate the effort.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Since I upgraded Windows Vista to Windows 7 iTunes only works in Windows 7 "Safe Mode".

Since I upgraded Windows Vista to Windows 7 iTunes only works in Windows 7 "Safe Mode". it will not run in the normal mode. (It ran properly in Vista) I spent several hours with the Microsoft Technician going through the "1717 suggestions, but to no avail. On my own, I tried iTunes in Windows 7 "Safe Mode" and was successful! It ran like a charm. Unfortunately, I can't run iTunes properly in "Safe Mode" I have not tried moving one set of the files yet. But if iTunes works in Safe Mode, do I need to relocate anything or do I need to find what is causing the conflict between Windows 7 and iTunes?

Which Satellite A205?
Which Windows 7 (64-bit)? What about the other laptop?
Which printer model, version, and so forth?

Windows Vista to Windows 7 Upgrade problems

I have ASUS desktop. I upgraded Windows Vista to Windows 7. When i start my pc I get a message Can't Open ASIosys!!(2). The first day I installed Windows 7 everything ran pretty good except for getting this message. I then did all the Microsoft Updates for Windows 7. After that my card readers are not reading my SD cards. I put a card in and the pc makes a noise but it's not reading the card and when I check under my computer it doesn't show the cards in the slots. I plugged in an external disk reader to see if it would recognize that but same problem.
I have a driver update program. I've scanned my pc with it but it says all drivers are installed.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Adobe Creative Suite 5 / Upgrade System Windows Vista to Windows 7

Dear customer service,
I am a customer of Adobe as I bought two years ago the Adobe Creative Suite 5.
My system is still Windows Vista. Now I wanna buy the Microsoft Home Office 2013 and now I have to upgrade from
Windows Vista to Windows 7.
My question is if there will be any problem with the Adobe Creative Suite 5? Or can I only put in the upgrade CD,
leave the Creative Suite on my pc and have nothing else to do than just installing?
Thank you for your reply.
With best regards,
Nicole

Correct. You only need to run the CS5 installer and have to provide the pertinent serial numbers in the process. Just make sure you run Help --> Deactivate bevor nuking your Vista install and reformatting your drive. If there are issues during the install, ask in the Download, Install & Setup forum.

I cannot Upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 using Windows Anytime Upgrade

A little while ago I bought an activation and serial key so I could upgrade my Windows Vista to Windows 7
My PC is FULLY compatible and I checked 3 times with Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor ,
I launched Windows Anytime Upgrade and there was no option to upgrade only to go to the website and comapre different versions of Vista
I was a bit fustrated and I have been looking for an answer all afternoon
If someone could help me that would be amazing
System Details
HP Pavillion Slimline
Windows Vista ( 32- Bit )
Dual Core Proccessor
2.5Ghz

What is needed to upgade to Windows 7 is an install disk. You can borrow one or download the one needed, depending on the key purchased. Windows Anytime Upgrade will only upgrade in the product line that is installed. Which version of Windows 7 did you purchase? And do you need/what 32bit or 64bit?

Satellite P200-17C - Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

Am looking to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, anybody done this? And was thier any problems with drivers etc?
Thanks

Hi
I dont know what you want to hear now exactly but you can download all drivers here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
As far as I know this P200 model belongs to the PSPB6 series.
Therefore it seems that all drivers available for Windows 7 32bit.
Generally about Vista and Windows 7 I can say that new OS runs much faster and never had a problem as yet. I can recommend it! :)

How to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7?

I recently bought the upgrade version of Windows 7 utimate for my laptop, my laptop is new and Windows Vista pre-installed. I would like to know if I upgrade Windows 7 from this "Fresh", pre-installed vista, would this Windows 7 operate as good as the clean installed Windows 7?
I am not very clear how Vista upgrades to Windows 7, do Windows 7 upgrades based on the old Vista system? Or it will install a clean and new Windows 7 then only copy all the settings and programmes from old Vista?

Hi
Can you please tell us what Toshiba notebook you have exactly and what Vista version you have exactly (Home, Business, etc. and 32bit/64bit)?
Theoretically you can upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 but it must be same version. That means its only possible to upgrade from 32bit to 32bit and 64bit to 64bit.
If you want to upgrade you have to insert this disc and follow the screen instructions, thats all.

Upgraded from vista to windows 7 not seeing music list

I upgraded from vista to windows 7. When I sync my iPhone 4 I am not seeing my music listed nor my apps in the list. I had backed up my entire computer to my external hard drive and copied everything over to iTunes. But not showing up in any lists when I connect my phone???? Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm am used to working on Mac's but u don't think my advice will hurt.
iTunes reads your hard drive for songs and compiles a song list for them.
It then stores this data as your ituneslibrary.plist file.
In the file drop down menu you should have an option to select library.
Try reelecting your iTunes library icon and then it should reload your iTunes with playlists and play counts etc

Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 both Internet Explorer and Firefox will not recognize the numbers keys of my keyboard. I get numbers in Word and every other situation, just not in the internet programs.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
*Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
*Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML

I recently upgraded my computer from windows vista to windows 7 ultimate and now i have to delete all the data in my iphone?

i have an iphone 3gs. i recently uprgaded my computer which ment it went from windows vista to windows 7 ultimate.I want to add new music from my computer to my iphone but it says i have to restore it and loose my itunes content. If i do that will i loose everything including texts and contacts? Help ! im so confused because im using the same computer as the first time!

The iPhone "thinks" it's a new iTunes libarary because your computer has a new operating system. As long as all your music and other media is on your computer, you will be fine. The iPhone will be erased because it "thinks" it's a new iTunes library, and the "new library" (which is actually your unchanged data) will be put back on.
