Will Windows 8 Pro Upgrade from Microsoft works on Lenovo's Windows 8 image?

Hi,
So kind of a strange question, but since Windows has the special price for upgrading XP/Vista/7 to Windows 8 for $39.99, I was wondering if that would work on the factory shipped windows 8 from Lenovo?
Not that I have any particular reason to do it, but it would be nice to have another backup copy since I could only currently put the recovery disk on a flash drive, Windows 8 doesn't seem to support optical ones for creating restore image. The flash drives are a bit easier to misplace I find.

My current notebook wasn't shipped with W8, so no. But it's officially supported by Microsoft. So as long as you have the right edition (Standard or Pro), it will use the key stored in the BIOS.
There was some documents lying around the web regarding this and several posts and articles.
Cheers.
If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

Will Mario Teaches Typing 2 from 1997 work on my macbook pro?
My son needs to learn to type this summer. I'd like to know if this will work before I buy it.
Thanks!

Hi,
Not likely, as far as I can tell the Mac version requires OS9 or below, which might work under Classic if you had 10.4.11 installed, the PC version may run under a Windows® emulator like Parallels, VMWare or VirtualBox.

Will Final Cut Pro 4.5 still work if I upgrade to Mac OS X v10.5.4?

Will Final Cut Pro 4.5 still work if I upgrade to Mac OS X v10.5.4?

I'm with Jon on this one. I know someone who uses FCP 5.0 on a MacBook Pro, he has all sorts of wierd issues including:
Projects he has created throwing up an error message "Unreadable on this machine" when re-opened.
Projects losing and refusing to connect to render files.
Dissolves simply not working -this is not to do with lack of handles, it just happens.
LiveType and FCP's own title generator files not automatically compositing.
Lots of kernel panics and unexpected quits.
These might not happen all the time, but always crop up at the worst possible moment.
I can move his project files and media to my setup and everything works.

Will i have problem upgrading from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Maverick ?

will i have problem upgrading from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Maverick ?

Impossible to know. But I would make a backup before doing so, just in case. I would also do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If you wish to save yourself a lot time should you need to reinstall Mavericks at some point in the future then see the following:
Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
   2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this entire command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
     sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume
     /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time. When completed it would be wise to test the installer by checking that it boots the computer and is then ready for installation.

Transfer my address book from Microsoft Works to Thunderbird

I want to transfer my address book from Microsoft Works on my computer to Thunderbird. I found Outlook Express much easier to deal with, but I do like Firefox.

What version do you have?
You know that to add a addon you
first download with firefox and save it somewhere
Then open addons in TB,
Click on the cogwheel and choose ''Install Add-on from file''
locate your downloaded file
and install.
I think I jumped a step. You have to EXPORT in csv using outlook's own tools.
and then IMPORT into TB using MoreFunctionsForAddressBook

Firefox will not start after upgrade from 3.0.1

I have Firefox 3.0.1. I would like to upgrade to 3.6, but if I try to upgrade to any version, I cannot open Firefox. It is not like the other "Will not start" problems, because in the Task Manager, firefox.exe pops up, then goes away instantly. I have tried using Safe Mode, doing a clean install by uninstalling Firefox and my profile, cleaning the registry, then using CCleaner, then trying to reinstall, but the problem persists. Sometimes firefox.exe doesn't even show up in the Task Manager. I also cannot use any version of IE(even if I wanted to), Safari or Chrome. They all have the same results. I suspect that it is not a problem with Firefox, but with my computer, but I don't what is wrong. Can anyone help me?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded from 3.0.1

Sounds like something is killing off your browsers before they can start. I really have no idea why Firefox 3.0.1 is working somehow, though.
Do a malware check with a few different programs, you need to use all, because not all programs detect the same malware.
For each of these, make sure they are updated after installing, and run a full scan.

Importing Spreadsheets from Microsoft Works

Is there any way to import Microsoft Works spreadsheets into AppleWorks? The file extension of the files I'm trying to import is .wks. I'd rather not have to recreate these sheets if at all possible. The files were created on an old Dell PC several years ago. The Dell is gone (still doing the happy dance over that!)...
When I look for them under the "file, open" command the file names of the desired files are greyed out. If I attempt to open them using Finder and double clicking, Finder tells me that the file is not supported.
I have MS Office installed on my Mac, but unfortunately I get much the same result there.
Thanks for any assistance you can give...

What will I lose when upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

I am relatively new to Macs and am concerned about what I will lost if we upgrade out Mac mini server from Tiger to leopard. There was a time when new Apple computers were not backward compatible, certainly Microsoft upgrades always have issues. Thus I have fear for performing an upgrade from Tiger to Leopard on our server without knowing what we are in for.
I looked at some of the discussion threads here and elsewhere. I see a lot of minutiae but none that would be an issue to me. Then again, no one seems to put out a publication (including/especially Apple) that say here are the possible drawbacks.
I guess our biggest concern in our existing data. Are there any types of document formats that we will no longer be able to read?
I assume Office, Photoshop and those types of programs will be fine as surely the publishers have issues the necessary updates. Is that correct?
Are there any mainstream issues that could come as a surprise to us and present serious problems?
Thank you,
Robert

I guess our biggest concern in our existing data. Are there any types of >>document formats that we will no longer be able to read?
Only if the applications which open those documents run in Classic.
And only if you do not have another program that can open them.
for example, Filemaker...I used FM5 (classic app)...OSX versions of FM were both overkill for my needs and cost prohibitive, so I never upgraded.
Lost access to all those files.
Fortunately, I was able to download a demo of FM9, open the files, export them to XLS format, then open them in either excel or numbers. Of course, lost the database functionality, embedded images were no longer there, and calculated fields failed, but at least the data fields converted.
The issue in photoshop, from what I understand, is saving to a network drive.
(possible file corruption)
Save locally, then copy to a network drive, and pshop should work fine.
Are you already on Intel, or are you on PPC? you may find some other quirks if you are also upgrading to an Intel based system.
Things like QT and browser plugins that are not Universal binaries.

Recovering material from Microsoft Works files.

I created several documents using Microsoft Works on an older Windows XP PC. They were saved on a zip drive. I opened those files on my new iMac, and it recognized that they were not in any program that my Mac had, so it used some kind of program or option to recover the words from the Works files. They were somewhat out of order, but for the most part, what I had typed was still there, and all I had to do was copy and paste and edit into Microsoft Word for Mac. But, I've recently tried again to get the rest of the material that I had not copied and pasted, and now my Mac won't do the magic it did before. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi jon28127: You might want to try an office suite called NeoOffice. It lists MS Works files as one of its file types. You can then save the files as another file type. It is free and available here: http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/download.php#download
Hope this helps

Re: Yoga 2 Pro - upgrade from 8.1 to 8.1 pro

A little off topic, but hope you guys can help.
Seems our Yogas are pre-installed with Win 8.1. I need 8.1 pro for powershell and hyper-v.
If I tell it to upgrade, it asks me for £99.99.
So the price to upgrade from 8.1 to 8.1 pro is £100, but to upgrade to 8.1 pro from any other operating system (XP, VIsta or win 7 basic, pro, enterprise, whatever) is £45.
This is rediculous.
The only way I can see to do it is to wipe the computer, intall XP using an old key I have kicking about, then buy a 8.1 pro upgrade.
Anyone got any other ideas?
Moderator Note; subject edited; post moved to start new thread

Hi. I was able to enter my the 8.1 key I got from DreamSpark into my Y2P and it accepted it.
