Can I update OS on a computer good?
Hi, my friend's dad built me a computer game. I recently bought Battlefield 3, but it says I have to update my OS. So I wonder if I go out and buy Windows 8, which will be legal? My friend told me that it would not because the current operating system is under someone elses name because it was someone elses prior.
I looked and Windows 8 can be upgraded a windows xp computer then why can't I upgrade if I went out and spent $70 on Windows 8? Or could I?
My friend is right? and if it is, why it's now illegal for me to use this computer?
retail purchased windows can be moved to other computers.
Windows OEM are locked on they were installed on the original computer.
If a retail version is moved to another computer, it must be removed from
the it has been installed on the computer.
in other words - key of a product on a single computer at a time. (domestic use)
You can have windows (double, triple boot) on the same pc you have the keys to legal product for each of them.
8 victory is a very big leap for a pc built for winxp.
Check your system with the Advisor to upgrade on the ms site.

The bad news is that Acrobat 6 is not compatible with any Windows system or a modern Mac.
The worst news is that you left it about 10 years too late to upgrade, discounts are finished. The version current is DC Acrobat, you must buy or register as a new user. Subscription recommended, more up-to-date and includes future updates.

I can't update itunes. then my iphone doesn´t work on this computer.
I have an iMac 9.1 10.5.8, 2.66 GHz processor and 2 GB of memory. He already has snow leopard, but I can't update to other software and I can not update itunes. then my iphone doesn´t work on this computer. What is the latest software that it supports and what are the steps to update the software and itunes?
< re-titled by host >
This machine can run the latest version of Mac OS X (10.11). You cannot update directly from 10.5, however. If you have already upgraded to Snow Leopard and have used the software update to get updated (10.6.8), then you should be able to install El Capitan from the Mac App store if you have enough disk space.
It would be wise to upgrade the RAM of your machine before attempting it, however, that 2 GB is barely enough to run the OS, never mind all the applications.
This machine can be maxed out at 8 GB of RAM.

Can software update on iphone cause problems when my computer can only move to Mountain Lion?
Can software update on iphone cause problems when my computer can only move to Mountain Lion?
When my computer can only be upgraded to Mountain Lion?
Any Mac that can run Mountain Lion can run El Capitan, as long as the conditions are identical.
Too little information: you must identify the model of your iPhone and explain exactly your problems. There is no way that anyone would be able to help otherwise.

I can't update Firefox, I tried to disable Firewall etc. My computer says I need permission admin to update Firefox, even if I am the owner and the administrator of this computer. There are updates available and know the password for this computer. It all started when I installed the Noscript tool (that I tried to disable them with the same results)
This has happened
A few times a week
== I installed Noscript tool
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
.....
If you have Mac OS X 10.5 or newer then follow these steps:
Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current demand for Firefox to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version you downloaded.
Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data. -

can not download or update
I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite running Windows Vista. About 4 months ago it stopped being able to download anything. I can't watch attached, or the computer will allow me to update things like... Adobe Flash Player. I turned off my Kapersky anti-virus program and tried to look all filtering of e-mail settings. Nothing has worked. When I click 'Download' attachment (Hotmail account), it gives me three options... open, save, cancel... When I click Open or save he responds quickly unable to download... try again or cancel are my only options. If I click on start it immediately opens the same question... try again or cancel. Can anyone help? My daughter needs to send me a pdf file, so I can print for the school.
Help, please

Hello1 did you changes in the computer before this problem?
2. meet you download only with Hotmail account problem?3. what web browser do you use?
Method 1:I suggest that you have temporarily disable or uninstall the security software installed and check if the problem is resolved.
Disable the anti-virus software
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-softwareUninstall or change a program
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.Method 2: Keep the computer in a clean boot and install the update.

As far as I know, you are limited to 99 days for an annual membership and 30 for a monthly and then you need internet access to revalidate the license. You can contact support to see if there are any exceptions to this rule:
