Why can't I get windows 7 to recognize where I live and the model of my laptop?

I live in St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, zip code 00820.  There is no option for Atlantic Standard Time for me to be able to correct this problem myself.
Also, I have a Lenovo ThinkPad model T410.  and Windows 7 will not recognize it.
These two problems are causing me many problems, including not being able to invite my family members in Florida to Skype with me.  There are too many problems to list them all.
Can anyone help me?

Hi Carol,
Firstly, you said Windows 7 cannot recognize your computer. I want to know what Operating System be current on your computer. What's the error message or symptom when you attempt to install Windows 7 on your computer?
I would like to suggest you make sure if this model of your computer support Windows 7, and then follow this guide to installation

After you install the Windows 7 without any problem, then see if other problems disappear.

    In Dreamweaver CC why can i not get any workspace options? Where do I find 'Draw AP div' or any of my 'designer' tools?

    Insertion of APDivs/Layers are deprecated in CC. Historically, APDivs caused many, many problems for people who didn't understand they were not intended to be used as a primary layout tool.  Look at FluidGrid Layouts.

    To each his own. I own Outlook, but I avoid using it like the plague. The only Mac mail software I have liked better than Apple's Mail was Qualcomm's Eudora, which is no longer updated or even available, won't run without Rosetta, and unfortunately never quite got the hang of IMAP.
    Check out this post regarding this user's continuing use of Eudora on his Lion MacBook:
    Shield Eudora from Lion's Claws
    A thousand thanks and kudos to Michael for this fabulously excellent thread!
    Eudora's now happy in her new Snow Leopard VM home on my Lion ModBook!
    Appears essential to keep resource-forked data off Lion disk:
    First attempt with Eudora on SL VM was sharing data on Lion disk. Error messages on open like "can't find Table of Contents" suggest Lion ate resource forks crucial to Eudora.
    Found success by transferring data from SL Mac to thumb drive, then mounted drive in SL VM so Lion couldn't touch.
    While Michael warns against storing data in VM, appears there's no choice with Eudora. At least She's enthroned on a mirrored RAID.
    There is Nothing like Eudora! (to tune of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from South Pacific -- Oops! my gray hair is showing!)
    (It's amazing Parallels can force Lion to store taboo resource forks. Thank God for code warriors!)

  • Why can't I get a straight answer re: Multi Room DVR and HD Boxes

    A rep that I spoke w/ on the phone and the website tells me that the HD set top boxes are not compatiable w/ the Multi Room DVR. But they are working on it. A rep I chatted w/ today told me they definitely WILL work together. Why can't I get a straight answer?? And what IS the correct answer? I want to switch to FIOS and I really like the Multi Room DVR option, but I don't want my 1 of my 2 main TVs to be w/o HD. And since the Multi Room Box is HD why wouldn't it be compatiable w/ the HD boxes??
    Does anyone know what's going on w/ this?? Thanks!

    Joe01880,
    And that info is out of date, whether it is on Verizon's website or not. If you have the latest level of the IMG (1.6), then, as confirmed one post above yours, that the HD STB is now supported, and works. This has been posted in multiple posts on multiple forums, so I believe that it is accurate. But I do not have the 1.6 level so I cannot confirm that personally, I can only repeat what other posters in this and other forums have said. For example:

  • Why can i not get my ipad to recognize my wireless printer but my apple desktop works with it

    Why can I not get my ipad2 to print from my my wireless printer that i use for my apple desktop

    It's also possible that your wireless printer will work with a minor OS tweak if you're on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.x. Your Mac system must be on for printing to occur. (I haven't tested with Leopard 10.5.x or Lion 10.7.x)
    Details are found in this Apple Support Communities thread begun in November 2010
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2658720?threadID=2658720&tstart=0
    I've been using it to print to a Canon MP560 wireless printer and an HP LaserJet 1320 USB-to-Mac printer from my wife's iPad 2 since the first day she received it for both photos and documents.  Duplex printing to the Canon does not seem to be supported.

  • Why can't I get my ip4 2 recognize the new computer name?

    Why am i unable to Wi Fi sync with iTunes after I have connected to iTunes on my computer using a cable, clicking "Sync with the iPhone over Wi Fi? When I click "Sync Now, my IP4 states, "It will resume when "computer a" is available.  My computer's name is no longer "a" it is "computer c."

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    When you're swapping out chargers, make sure you're using an iPad charger. It is different from an iPhone one (iPhone chargers put out about half the power)
    Charging via USB will likley tell you that it's not charging because most USB's put out a fraction of the power that the iPad wants, so it says not charging.
    ALso try different outlets and cables if you have them
    If you go through all that and still can't get it to charge then you may need to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look at it.

  • HT204053 Why can I not get my cell to verify where email is ??

    You help me out a lot!  Thank you

    If you're asking why you can't verifiy your email account, you do this by clicking the Verify Now link in the email that Apple sent to you.  Make sure you check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • Why can't I get Aperture to open on a second account on the same computer?

    I have two accounts on mt Mac Pro, one will open Aperture, the other will not as it says I need to 'set permissions'. I opened Aperture on the primary account and looked for ways of setting permissions, but couldn;t find any. Any advice anyone can offer?
    best
    Jem

    Ah ok , libraries are on a per user basis. That is multiple users can run Aperture (as you are seeing) but each users library is private to that user.
    There are ways to share libraries between users. If you describe what it is you are trying to do and what you have one so far I'm sure help will be on the way.

    Why can't I get photo stream or icloud to work with windows vista?

    Have you tried quitting Pages completely, restart the iPad and then go back to Pages and see if they will upload?
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
