What do i need to save if i have reinstall windows

I have to reinstall Vista and have a rather slow, but free, DSL download speed. After i deauthorize iTunes, how can I reauthorize it without loosing data or apps locally. I know i can go to purchased, but again, Slow Download. What folders can I save so when i reinstall iTunes It will all show up as it prior to the rebuild, which will require a reformat of my RAID volume (bigger)

Your devices record the LibraryPersistentID of the library they have been synced with. As long as you backup and restore the entire library properly your devices should work with the restored library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

What do I need to save files as to transfer from AppleWorks 5 to iWork '06?

I have plenty of AppleWorks word processor documents and spreadsheets that I'm trying to transfer over to my new computer (I've been using Mac OS 9 all this time) and iWork doesn't seem to be able to read any of the documents. What do I need to save them as? And what does Mac OS X use for spreadsheets? It seems like iWork is just for Power Point and Word type documents, then again I have very little experience with all this new stuff so far. Thanks for the help.

Pages, part of iWork, is only able to open AppleWorks 6 word processing documents. It is not able to open any other AppleWorks 6 file types or any type of AppleWorks 5 or ClarisWorks documents. Keynote (the other application in iWork) is able to open AppleWorks 6 presentation documents. I don't know for sure, but, since presentation is a type of AppleWorks document new to AppleWorks 6, it would seem logical that it can't open AppleWorks 5 slide shows. None of this has anything to do with using AppleWorks 6 in OS 9 or OS X. If you don't have AppleWorks 6, you will have to buy it to use to "up convert" your AppleWorks 5 documents. For inexpensive options to buy AppleWorks 6, try eBay and do a search for "AppleWorks" or "Apple Works" (some people put a "space" in the name). Or you may purchase it from almost any retailer that sells Apple software, including the online Apple Store.

My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get. I have and ipad and an iphone. I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc. Is there a way to do this?

My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get. I have and ipad and an iphone. I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc. Is there a way to do this? It was a vista pc and the new is win 7. I can grab the backup files, and music, but what about my apps? I do not want to sync on the new pc since the apps aren't there. Were are the app files located in itunes? Can I just copy them to the new computer?

You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

What is the solution to save over a file with Windows Explorer preview pane open?

(This is a stagnant issue in an alternate thread and did not address the issue directly.) Every time I make a minor change to a document, I am forced to write a new file to save it. This is cumbersome, annoying and wasteful. I am an architect and I quite regularly need to have several windows explorer windows and pdf files open at once when coordinating information from several different places. It is not practical for me to turn off my preview pane or close every explorer window. How can I avoid saving every document new even when making a minor change?

Hi Michael ,
What kind of changes are you trying to make in that document ?
Is this happening with all kinds of document or any specific kind?
Which version of Acrobat are you using?
Please provide us with the details so that we an assist you further .

Zfd4.01 remote control via desktop4.exe. What rights are needed?(repost, seems to have been stuck in wrong thread)

Hi.
Trying to give some non-admin users the right to remote control workstations via the user object. I have followed the tids/documentation for
this when using ConsoleOne and that works just fine.
When trying to remote control a user object with desktop4.exe (dopps zenwsbrowser actually) there seems to be some rights missing. Making the
user into an admin solves the problem and until the remote controlled user changes IP on his workstation it keeps on working even when removing
admin rights.
So the question is simply put:
What rights is needed on user AND workstation objects to remote control with desktop4.exe? Or if someone knows how I can check what attributes
has changed on a user after a remote control has been performed that would be sweet too.

What do I need to multitrack? I have Adobe Audition 1.5

What do I need to multitrack. I can't seem to get any answer other than through a USB. I had a bad experience with USB (M-Auidio fast track) and I don't have firewire. I am using a Dell inspiron 1200 with an Auidigy 2 ZS (notebook) and Adobe Audition. From what I understand This soundcard has a S/PDIF in? It shows up on my play control as one of the options. Do I need a specific interface or mixer or can I use any mixer? Right now I am using my mixer as well as others (when recording live performances) and I am using the tape/record-out to go from the mixer into my optical in. It requires a cable with the white and red to a standard 1/8 inch jack. What do I have to do in order to multitrack. There has to be something other than USB or firewire. Please help me with this questions. I can't seem to get answers anywhere.

What are you going to do there? How many and which type inputs do you need?
A2 ZS Notebook has as
Audio Inputs
Multipurpose input, used for analog line-level input, mono microphone input, or optical SPDIF, for 3.50 mm (1/8-inch) connectors and a Speaker docking cable connector
So, you can record two analog mono signals or one mono microphone or through one S/PDIF at once.
There are, as CardBus/PCMCIA devices, two Creative/E-MU models available; 1616 and 1616M, which both do have some more I/Os vs. A2 ZS Notebook but, those device are not cheap ones as SB line cards normally are.
I recommend FireWire device. There are cheap but good ones like Hercules FW 16/12 (16 inputs/12 outputs) under 300US$ (retail price ~800US$), and cheapest one might be a device from Behringer; FCA-202 which street price is under 100US$.
E-MU launches a nice USB device 0404 soon (if not yet out) which seem to have quite good technical specs and even ~low price --> ~200US$.

What do I need to know to get started with Windows 10?

QuestionWhat do I need to know to get started with Windows 10?
AnswerWindows 10 likely looks familiar in some ways to past Windows users whether they're most familiar with Windows 8, Windows 7, or earlier versions of Windows.
To read about what's new with Windows 10, check the sections below. To learn about Windows 10 and see it in action, you can watch this video:
Desktop and Start menu
When you start your Windows 10 computer, you'll see the desktop. Like in Windows 7 and earlier versions of Windows, you'll see the Start button in the lower-left, which opens the Start menu.
The new Start menu combines aspects of Windows 7's Start menu with Windows 8's Start screen. On the left are important links, including Settings, as well as applications you use often. On the right are Modern UI app tiles. The Start menu also contains a button for power as well as a button to expand the Start menu to a full screen view.
Cortana
Next to the Start button is the Cortana search field. Cortana is a personal assistant that can help you find answers, solve issues, and search for files. You can click in the box to typer to her, click the microphone to speak to her, or press the Cortana button on select Toshiba laptops to speak to her.
You can learn more about Cortana here:
How do I use Cortana in Windows 10?
Action Center
The Action Center can be used to view notifications and access settings quickly. Hold the Windows key and press the 'A' key to open the Action Center.
Notifications are shown at the top, and toggles for various settings are located at the bottom.
On touchscreen devices, you can swipe in from the right to open the Action Center. The toggles on the bottom are sized so that you can press them with your thumb easily.

Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.

HP Laserjet 6MP: what do I need to save from old system?

I recently moved from a G3 iMac running 10.2 to a G5 running 10.4. I have a great old HP Laserjet 6MP. Right now, my system is successfully printing (through an AsanteTalk box that goes from the printer to the Appletalk slot). It was able to find my printer, showing the name "Buster," a name which I had chosen a long time ago when I was on System 9. The only place where the name "Buster" appears in my files is on two ppd files on my external nonbootable backup disk, in the old "System Folder." One is in the Printer Preferences and the other in the Extensions in this old System Folder. I have several questions:
1. Are these two files named Buster essential to my system being able to find my printer? I'm surprised that the system would have found the printer in the backup disk rather than through a newer driver on the current system.
2. If the Buster files are essential, where should I put them on my current system? (I'd like to be able to remove the old system files from the external backup drive eventually.) Or do I just need to keep them where they are, on the backup disk?
3. I've noticed there is an HP Laserjet 6MP driver on the new system. Would my system be able to find my printer with just this driver?
4. Is there any danger of my system not being able to find the printer if I move these "Buster" ppds to a different folder on the backup disk?
Thanks,
Donna

You should be able to use the printer independent of old system
folders created in another computer at a different time. Perhaps
the AppleTalk connection is why this old information comes up;
presumably you are still using the printer via AppleTalk, and so
that configuration must be running under Classic in OS X 10.4.
The OS X 10.4.x Tiger system probably has excellent drivers;
but you could use Gimp prints, too.
Did you use the Migration Assistant to move from the old Mac
to the newer one? If so, it copied over stuff; and any old alias
or links to sources no longer available to the computer would
be null and void, unless or until some other drive with old info
relative to this were available.
I'd change all that; and re-think the need to use AppleTalk,
unless you have other hardware or needs only fulfilled with it.
You should be able to get a good driver for the printer as a
download, something newer than the printer's old one. The
Gimp Print or gutenprint open source page has free drivers.
There probably is something there to update the old printer.
You may be able to move the printer driver from one system
into another; but not sure how compatible that bit of old data
would be in a newer OS X 10.4 system.
Gutenprint - Gimp print:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
Gutenprint supported printers lists your model:
http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/pSupportedPrinters.php3
I'm not sure about the rest of this question; in that the need
for the configuration as it was has not been established as
a single and valid way to go. You should be able to get newer
drivers and consider other means to use the printer outside
of AppleTalk, if necessary. There should be no need for the
old system parts, if you can get a newer, better driver; etc.
Good luck & happy computing!

What do I need to do if I have to reload FOR 2014?

Hello, my team has come across an issue in than or Labview FRC 2014 stopped working. We have tried the recovery and repair that are in it to no avail. My lead programmer is currently removing the program with the hope that a full reinstall of the program will fix this issue. My question is should we reload the 2013 FRC program with its serial number and then load 2014FRC over the top of it, or would it be better to just load up the 2014FRC? If so then can you send me the link to the 2014 FRC Labview download site.

If you are just using 2014, then just install 2014. The different versions actually install side-by-side. But just install what you need.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
If this is a company computer or is used with company software, I suggest you do not upgrade to Mavericks without first checking with your company. Older software may not work with Mavericks. Some of it may need upgrading, and that may be something your company is unwilling to pay for.

What do I need to download? I have an upgrade license named: CS6 6.0 MLP Upgrade License IE FR CS5

My MacBook Pro has a fresh install of the OS X so I need to reinstall CS. I downloaded the CS6 Design and Web Premium but when I enter the serialnumber it says invalid.
Thanks!

Log in to your Adobe account online to see what products you have and what serial numbers are assigned for them. If CS6 is an upgrade purchase you likely need to identify the older version that you upgraded from as well as provide its serial number.

What security precautions need I take when installing VPC and Windows

I am a long time Mac user who enjoys the fact that viruses have never been even a minor issue. I am concerned that installing Windows with VPC 7 will expose my machine to the wide world of Windows viruses and security issues. My windows-using friends spend more time talking about security and anti virus nonsense than they spend actually using thier machines (slight exageration). Am I just being snobby and paranoid, or are these fears grounded?
Also, VPC and windows are way too expensive in my way of thinking. I just need to view webpages I update at work on PC browsers, and occasionally use Access (which isn't made for Mac, right?). Should I just buy a cheap-o windows box (like the 300 dollar or so Dell)? I hardly need power to do what I want.

You should take the same precautions with VirtualPC as you would with a real PC.
You should be running the same anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall software you would run on your real PC.
VPC has the "advantage" that you can delete it and recreate it anew.
