  • Windows Migration Assistant won't download in Win 8.1

    Trying to migrate some date from a Dell desktop with Windows 8.1 to an iMac. The app will not even download to the 8.1 box.

    Hi.. yep, have seen the video thank you.. the problem is NOT knowing how to use it.. (Have been in computers and using speech recognition, mainly Nuance DS Professional for
    ages..)
    The problem I have is in LOADING the application… sometimes it will load on the click of the mouse (or touch of the screen on this HP SPECTRE) – be it loaded from the task
    bar icon that I set up, from the Windows Speech Recognition command vis the CHARMS or even from the START tiles.. other times it will not!!  Must frustrating (will have to buy a new Nuance DNS professional as windows 8.1 is not a platform for DNS Version
    10 that I have used for ages – needs !!  or maybe go back to WIN&7??)
    Couple of things I have noticed that may help others is that the programme may not load if one clicks the icon too quickly.. I find that hovering the mouse over the icon and
    waiting until “Windows speech recognition” appears, THEN clicking the icon works at times.. after the small win Speech Recognition mode (grey) icon is closed by pressing the red “close” button then it is hard to get the programme to load again.. then one must
    go to Task manager and stop the Speech Recognition programme by clicking on the end task button..
    So.. it’s the initial loading and running of the programme that concerns me..  perhaps the bods at MS could look at how memory is allocated to this programme and why when
    closing the Speech Recognition programme from the “grey” speech recognition mode button it is  subsequently “hard” to reload it again and the programme seemingly seems to still run in Task Manager after this close button has been pressed…??  (But,
    I won’t hold my breath)…
    Cheers

  • New Dell pc with windows 7 and won't download itunes

    I just got a new Dell pc with windows professional 7 os and not able to download itunes.  Every time, I click download, nothing happens, nothing is downloading. Did all the windows updates and checked my security software to see it was blocking it.  Is there something not computable with windows 7?  Or is there something else that I need to download first?  Don't have much software on the pc yet.  Even tried connecting my iphone to pc and didn't bring up itunes either.

    There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded.  As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads - like the previous 12.1.0.77 release, there are three different installers available, with direct links to these as follows:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit "for older video cards") - iTunes64Setup.exe
    The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer, should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version.  Based on evidence of the previous release, this may also be an appropriate alternative if you have playback issues or crashes with the standard 64-bit version.
    See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation. 

  • HP Laptop brand new 99 windows 8 updates won't download

     I am helping a lady I work with with her HP Laptop.  She forgot her password so I have her laptop and I restored the system. Windows 8 has 99 updates that will not download.  At least I do not think they are downloading, the bar just moves for 5 minutes but it shows 0 KB total and 0 complete for 5 minutes or longer.  So I quit and give up.   I have no idea why none of the updates are not downloading. I even disabled the firewall thinking that might help.

    Hi, That is very normal. My suggestion: split 99 to 3 or 4 batches and try do not combine all big updates together. This may take one hour or two but next month this will be much quicker. Regards.

  • Some pdf & doc won't download... tried fixes under 'FF keeps opening many tabs or windows' but none worked... these files open in Safari & Google Chrome.

    Some pdf & doc files won't download. The "You Have Chosen to Open" pop-up appears but when I hit 'Save File", it goes away and the file is not saved. The corrupted files show up in mac download file as .part but don't show up in ff download file. Tried suggestions in "Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows" on this website but none worked.

    This is most likely Firefox's new "built in" PDF Viewer giving you the trouble.
    First, in Firefox, type "about:config" (minus the quotes) in the address bar. This will open the Firefox configuration file. You'll see a warning. Click that you'll be careful, and open the configurer.
    At the top there is a search bar. Type "js" (again, minus the quotes).
    In the list of results you'll see pdfjsdisabled with a value of "false". Right click it and select Toggle to make it read "true".
    Click Firefox>Preferences and under the Applications tab, scroll down to Adobe Acrobat Document. Click the drop down on the right side and choose "Use Adobe Reader (default)".
    That should take care of it for you.

  • Lync 2010 won't download - error says it requires Windows 7

    Lync 2010 won't download - error says it requires Windows 7 BUT I HAVE WINDOWS 7 !! 
    Very frustrating. After using Lync 2010 for the last year it did an auto-update and at first said it was missing a file. So I uninstalled and reinstalled and now am told that "Only windows XP3, Windows Vista and Windows 7 are supported. Please upgrade
    your PC" But I DO have Windows 7. 
    Yes I know it's old. My new PC is sitting here waiting for me to change over but that can't happen for another month or so as I need more memory in it. In the meantime, I need to get my Lync 2010 working again. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated! 

    Hi,
    This was finally figured out by someone internal to my company, a Lync specialist. This is what the solution was (in I.T. speak - sorry, I'm not I.T.):
    Resolution: Checked and found COE was configured to run on XP SP3 where the minimum requirement is SP3
    He definitely was opening files and checking boxes way beyond my simple "uninstall" and "reinstall".
    Thanks!

  • I've tried updating iTunes for Windows but it won't work. I removed iTunes and downloaded the new version (10.6.1.7) but it won't load. It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.

    It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.
    Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • Help: contacts won't download/sync from Mobile Me to iPhone?

    My new iPhone won't download old contacts from MobileMe. It will sync any new contacts or calendar event I add to either the iPhone or Mobile Me, but not the existing ones.
    Basically, I bought my first iPhone a couple of days ago. I just followed the prompts and ended up sync'ing it with gmail as well as pulling all the contacts off my old SIM and phone. But I ended up with lots of duplicate contacts. So I set up a Mobile Me account and uploaded all the contacts from the iPhone, no problems. Then I cleaned up all my contacts on Mobile Me, got rid of duplicates etc.
    Then I reset my iPhone to clear all data so I could start afresh (I've only had it a day or two so there wasn't much to lose). I thought I would be able to easily pull all the nice, clean contacts down from the cloud. But the only contacts that will sync are new ones, not the old ones.
    If I add a contact on Mobile Me, it downloads to the iPhone. If I add a new contact on the iPhone, it uploads to Mobile Me. But the hundreds of old contacts I have amassed over many years and many different mobile phones are stuck in the cloud and won't come down!
    All these contacts only ended up on Mobile Me after being sent from my iPhone, so not sure why it won't take them back.
    I'm on a PC. I have sync'd the iPhone with iTunes since I reset it. And I have downloaded the latest version of the iPhone OS since I reset the phone. I have tried turning off all sync'ing and then turning it on again - the iPhone asked if I wanted to merge data, I said yes, but it didn't download any of the old contacts.
    Obviously sync works, but why won't it get my old contacts?!
    The only thing I haven't tried is resetting all sync data - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1497. However, how can I back up my Mobile Me data before I erase it? I didn't think my Mobile Me contacts would sync with a PC?

    Turn off contacts in MobileMe on the iPhone and choose keep contacts on the iPhone
    Connect iPhone to iTunes and enable sync contacts to Windows Address Book or Outlook 2003 or higher. Now there should be a copy of the contact on the computer.
    Make sure you have installed and configured the MobileMe control panel on your computer. And set it up to sync contacts. Choose the best copy(Cloud or Computer)for the initial sync(can be from Cloud to computer or computer to cloud).
    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/setup/
    Once the computer and Cloud have the correct info then slide contacts back to on within the Mail Contacts Calendars on the iPhone and choose replace iPhone with info from the Cloud.
    Uncheck Sync Contact with computer within iTunes on Info tab(if you do not then you will get duplicates).

  • My apps won't download to my iPad but will to my phone. When I put it my password, it just stops and won't do anything else????

    Unless you have a copy of the iPod backup file from the previous computer installation you are out of luck. If yo have that file move it to your computer and restore the iPod from that backup.  Otherwise, you will have to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod and lose all your app date. That is the way it is since the iPod sees the computer as a new computer/iTunes library.  That backup file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • Windows 7/Bridge won't open files in Photoshop CS6 (cloud)

    I recently got the cloud CS6 and installed photoshop cs6, then uninstalled CS5.5. But now, Windows Explorer cannot seem to find Photoshop. If I try to associate the default for any file (.jpeg, .tiff, etc.) with Photoshop, Photoshop does not show up on the list of programs. I must browse to find  Photoshop exe (CS6 64). I click okay, but it continues to open the file in Windows picture viewer and to associate that file type with Windows Picture Viewer.
    If I right-click on the file, it does exactly the same thing. I must browse to Photoshop.exe. But it still opens the file in Windows Picture Viewer.
    Fix 1 Try Bridge Associations: I opened Bridge CS6->Edit>Preferences and made sure the files were associated with photoshop. But, when I then try to open the files from within Bridge, I get the message Windows cannot find c:Program Files\Adobe\AdobePhotoshop CS4 (64Bit)\Photoshop.exe. (my emphasis)  But I haven't had CS4 installed for years. I did not have this problem when I installed CS5. So now I can't open files from either Windows explorer or Adobe Bridge.
    Fix 2 Fix the Registry: So, I opened Regedit and went to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command, and changed the (Default) from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" . Don't know why the install left this at CS5.1. It SHOULD have changed it. EUREKA! Windows now recognizes Photoshop CS6 and I can associate files with it as usual. But I had to manually associate the native .psd file with Photoshop. along with .jpeg, .tiff and other image files.
    No Fix for Bridge: But back in Bridge CS6, it's not so rosy. I still get Windows cannot find c:Program Files\Adobe\AdobePhotoshop CS4 (64Bit)\Photoshop.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. If I try File--Open with--Photoshop (default), I get the same message. Clearly, Bridge thinks Photoshop CS4 is the default, and I don't know where to change that association. Preferences does not allow browsing. So Bridge is pretty much useless.
    So what should I do about Bridge?
    Bridge CS6 still won't open Photoshop CS6. It's still looking for CS4. I thought about reinstalling Bridge, but when I try to download it, the cloud tells me it is is already installed and won't download. I am a little worried about uninstalling it and trying again. Maybe, I'll end up with no Bridge at all. I am beginning to regret my decision to go cloud. Don't know if the install mess is just cloud or noncloud versions as well. Doesn't seem to apply to all programs either.
    Postcript:
    I had to go to the registry and manually change CS5.1 to CS6 for InDesign and Illustrator as well, and then manually associate .indd and .ai files with those programs. What a pain this is. Obviously, the install program didn't change the normal associations to CS6. Left them with the CS5, and then when I uninstalled that--as anyone would normally do--it lost the association completely.

    Thank you David__B! Your suggestion worked perfectly. All the files are correctly associated in both Explorer and Bridge. And it didn't take all that long, mostly uninstalling. The Adobe App Manager very efficiently installs several different programs with very little fuss.
    I am not sure, but I think it may have been an old plug-in to Bridge back in the CS4 era that I didn't even know I had that was causing the Bridge file association problems. Uninstalling CS5 after installing CS6 seems to be causing Win Explorer problems, not just for me.  Based on this experience, I would recommend that anyone with several previous installations of Adobe CS do the following:
    Save your plugins and preference files in a back up file.
    Uninstall all the old adobe software.
    Run the the cleaner you suggested. (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html).
    Install CS6 programs from the CCloud or wherever.
    Add your plug-ins back in as you need them one at a time to be sure they work.
    If you have already installed CS6 and are having file association problems, just uninstall everything and start at step one. You probably won't save time trying to fix the registry and manually associate file types--- yada yada yada.
    Steps 1-6 will give you a nice clean install and salvage only  good plug-ins.
