can install xp version because it is older than what is on the machine

I want to go back to the old version of XP without losing any files.  However, I know how to do this.

If you mean by 'old version' for a previous Service Pack level"then simply uninstall the service pack.

  • Running Mac OS older than what came with the Mac

    I just got the phone with Apple's Support and the representative told me that no Mac will perform a Mac OS older than the one that came with it. Can someone verify or refute this claim? I've been using Macs since I was introduced to a warm SE/30 in 1989, but I never remember to do this.

    So why would I want to? Well, I just bought an iMac 2014 end provided with Yosemite (10.10), to replace an early 2011 MacBook Pro that came with Snow Leopard (10.6). I am a photographer, and I have three dear old Sony sublimation photo printers that I can run only with a software package that has turned into a pumpkin after 10.6, so I have the updated MBP in place like a machine to dual-boot with a small partition of 10.6 for the software and a large partition of El Capitan (10.11) for most of my work. I want to put in place my new iMac in the same way (of course, the upgrade of its large partition to El Capitan); Otherwise, I will need to keep the MBP as a print server. (Or more likely, press an old iMac 2006 with a screen of bad back in service as a headless print server).

    If it is impossible to start in an old Mac OS, are there emulators that could achieve this goal (which might be better - avoiding a reboot)? Sony has been much better update their printer drivers for Windows and Mac, so I could probably run in Windows under an emulator like Parallels or Bootcamp, but I try to avoid dealing with a completely different environment. (Not to mention the fact that two of my Sonys are SCSI machines I drive with FireWire 400/SCSI converter; not to tell how Windows would treat that ;-))  Of course, this alone probably favour the approach of print server, because I do not know how things do you wear with a double conversion (starting with the new iMac USB3 or Thunderbolt and passing by FireWire SCSI. It's all too complicated...

    In a related issue, if I am successful in 10.6 market in some way on a new Mac, could I also run Rosetta? Snow Leopard is the last Mac OS supported under Rosetta PowerPC applications, and I have a still-good condition, fully licensed Adobe Creative Suite Premium (PowerPC) that I want to continue to run and make so much faster that this old iMac (or even my MBP) will be.

    TIA,

    Ken

    1. use Mac OS X Server 10.6 (phone the Apple Online Store) inside a product such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop.

    2. Yes.

  • When you try to upgrade XP Home to XP Professional I received a message: the version of Windows you want to install is older than what is currently installed.

    Some time back, I bought an XP Professional Upgrade but when I went to install it is says the upgrade is older than the existing XP Home Edition version, and would not upgrade.  I need to upgrade XP Home rather than do a complete reinstallation of the operating system.

    Any ideas how to do this?  MS provides disk upgrade for people who own a legitimate copy of the operating system?  I really don't want to take the installation of XP Home for fear of losing data and all software reconstruction/resettlement.

    Thank you.

    Thank you.  So just put SP3 on CD?  I understand what you're saying don't know how "wake".  Thanks, really appreciate it - is that I can do that will save a bundle!

  • Cannot install factory reinstall the CD/USB on drives smaller than what came with the computer. Need to fix it as soon as POSSIBLE!

    Recently installed Samsung 840 Evo SSD in my Dell Inspiron 15r 5537. They created the restore disc factory of the previous disc thought they would just install on the new SSD. After trying to install get you a mass that told you can't reinstall on drives less than 400 some odd gigabytes. I thought I'd try an OEM of Windows 8 CD version I have. Who does not install as well you get a message that says something like: "the current installed does not match the product key." So now I'm stuck with a new computer with a SSD brand new and I can not install an operating system on it. I bought six machines from Dell in the past six months and I want a cure for this ASAP or will ever I bought a Dell product. James

  • Cannot open file because Windows needs to know what program created the file

    After downloading some files when I try to open the file, I get the message cannot open the file, windows needs to know what program created the file.

    Any suggestions?

    Perhaps no program has been assigned to this file format and so you cannot open these files.
    I put t know which files you downloaded, but you can choose an application installed that can open these files.

    Right click the file and I have to then choose open with.
    Then, you could choose the program you want to use.

  • How can you ask a question that requires more than one sentence (although the limitation of the device seems to be characters)?

    Well, that answers the question above. Now for the real question. I need to regain my search bar of alternative search engines, and I don't want to start typing a search to get them (bad idea). I found the suggestion below but have no idea how "middle click" or how to get to the page mentioned "config". Can anyone help?

    If you want to restore the window previously used independently to manage search engines, you can enable or disable this pref to false with a medium on the subject click: config page.

       about:config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false
    

    You will need to close and restart Firefox to make it work properly.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar. You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

       http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    

    Type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the enter key to open the topic: config as you open a Web site by typing the URL in the address bar of the page.

    • If you see a warning message, so you can confirm that you want to access the comments: config page.

    You can use the search bar on top of the on: page config to identify preferences more easily and in this case you can type from time to time until you see the browser.search.showOneOffButtons preference.
    Preferences that have been changed and do not have the default display in bold (the user's game).
    You can toggle this Boolean False pref with a double click on the line with the pref or use edit on the shortcut menu.

  • RDP can connect to a session of console rather than on a Windows XP machine?

    Hello

    I have a Windows Server2003 running of the machine.  I have 3 'stations' running Windows XP SP3, which function as machines of execution to the work initiated by the application on the server. In essence, a repository server where all the jobs are stored and 3 execution servers that run the work at their time. The application (automate BPA Server 8 network Automation) should use the console session (ID 0) to manage the execution of the work.  We would like to use RDP to access servers running, but RDP automatically connects to the console session 0. Is there a way to force the RDP to connect to the console on a Windows XP machine not session?

    Thank you very much for any advice or direction, only you can give me!

    I think that you would probably get a better answer to this question in one of the TechNet forums where they support servers, as I do not have Windows Server 2003 in the House (and probably neither do any of the other people here ), you'll want to check with the server people who have more experience in this sort of thing.

  • You can remove some microsoft updates that are older than the recent updates that are being installed

    I need to know if I can remove old updates from microsoft after upgrades

    Thanks for any help I receive

    NO, you cannot uninstall updates if the operating system has been updated because it would mean that another edition of Windows is now installed.

  • Project Muse can´t be open because muse wants to be updated (bus is the new version of v7.2.232!)

    Hello

    When I want to open a model I ve bought in muse (v7.2.232) SAIS: "for this file, a newer version of adobe muse is necessary."

    I'm not able to update because I already have the latest version

    Something is interfering with the success of the installation.

    If you do not have a "Scroll Effects" entry in your Windows menu, then you have not Muse 7. We have seen cases where an update fails silently successfully complete and would have updated the version number of the application, but not actually in the application itself. Looks like you touch this case, although I can not understand how there is no copy of Muse anywhere on your computer when you start the installation.

    After using the control panel to remove the Muse, if you are looking for Muse there hits on your computer?

  • Checking the browser claims version is older than what is installed

    The problem is that when some sites auto detect what browser I'm running they seem to think, I use an old version of Firefox and thus disable certain features and/or tell me to update.

  • iTunes can't restore iphone because not enough free space is available on the iphone

    Hello

    I used to have a 32 GB iPhone that I saved. Today, I have a newer iPhone is 16 GB. I'm trying to restore the last backup from the old to the new. I opened the backup from the Finder file and its size is 20 GB. How to remove the photos and videos that upward in order to reduce the size and get this backup on the new iPhone? Is there a way to tell iTunes restore backup without photos and videos?

    You can not change the way that iTunes restores the backup of a unit. Since you now have a smaller device, you will not be able to restore the new feature of the older device. Your only choice would be to configure the device as new and then synchronize your content individually on the device, such as mail, contacts, calendar, etc...
