Ineed to resurrect an old PB, running 10.4.11.

The PB responds, but I can't go Internet. There is a map Airport installed with Firmware 9.52, systems application to enter a WEP PIN - I don't have one, but it keeps rejected. Is it possible to check the PIN code? If not, how can I retrieve or reset? Are there other measures I can / should take?

The WEP password is on the wireless router.  If you own (or control) router, configure you.  If you use a WiFi service that you do not control, you get this info from the service provider.

If the PowerBook running Tiger (10.4.11), AirPort card should support the older WPA security (instead of the WEP key) Protocol.  WPA is newer and safer.  I have a PowerBook with the earlier design for AirPort card and accessing my wireless router that is configured for WPA.  I don't think that anyone really uses WEP these days, so maybe that's why the access code that you try gets rejected.

The wireless router must also be set to compatible with the older slower 802.11b standard, if your PowerBook uses this older AirPort card.  If it is configured to only for 802.11n or 802. 11g and n, and that the AirPort card is 802.11b only, it will not work.

  • I have an old laptop running XP. It has clogged up big time and need to wipe and reinstall XP. I have no disk.

    Hello

    I have an old laptop running XP.  It has clogged up big time and need to wipe and reinstall XP.  I have no XP disc, but have a license number on the details of the system window.

    I can't find a recovery partitionand can not find anywhere to begin the creation of recovery disks.

    I've defragged and cleaned files.  I did a registry clean not long ago who did nothing.

    It was originally my husbands laptop and sat on the shelf unused for 3 years.  We now use for recording and playing music only and don't want no other programs about this other than the music software and a pack of office (which we have).  I don't even think it should be connected to the internet, because I'm afraid that the updates could corrupt the old programs that we will get on it once sorted.

    I can give Microsoft license number so that they can send me XP?

    Does anyone know if I need to rethink the connection through the web?

    Any other advice?

    Thanx

    Contact the manufacturer of the computer.  As the OEM licensed dealer, they had to provide you with a way to restore the computer to its default settings.  You may need to pay for it now.

    General cleaning of the registry nothing if you try to fix something specific, then you usually just fixed this specific thing.  ;-)

  • Restore iPhone iPhone 4S problem backup old 4 running iOS 7.1.2

    Hello

    my iPhone 4S recently fell down because of water damage. I was not able to revive. However, luckily I have a very recent backup performed by iTunes. I'm temporarily using an old iPhone 4 for a few weeks now, until I have buy a new phone. I want to restore the backup I made of my iPhone 4s to this old iPhone 4 so I can access my contacts/calendar/photos - as much as the next phone I buy would not be an iPhone. However, when I tried to restore the backup of my 4s to 4 he gave the following error message:

    Cannot restore the backup to this iPhone because the software on the iPhone is too old. To restore this iPhone of this backup, you must first set up as new iPhone and restore the software to the latest version.

    However, the iPhone 4 is running iOS 7.1.2 and what I can find online, it is not possible to upgrade to iOS 8.

    Any suggestions on what I can do to restore my settings for that old iPhone 4? Or how else access my backup content without having to buy a new iPhone?

    Much appreciated!

    Elise

    You cannot restore a backup from a device running a newer version of the iOS to a running a lower version. It is not possible to update the iPhone 4 past 7.1.2. The only way to access the backup is restore on another iOS device.

    That said, there are a few 3rd party utilities out there that claim to be able to extract data from a backup that iTunes isn't encrypted. I can't speak to the effectiveness of these.

    Your contacts and calendar should have been synchronized to a Cloud Computing service. They should still be there.

  • OLD computer running

    So, I'm running an old computer that I update to a maximum of 10.7.5

    Running iTunes 12.2.2.25.

    iPhone 9.3.2

    I can't sync my music on my iPhone because I can't update my OS past 10.7.5

    Is there a WAY to JUST sync my music from my iPhone or I lose 100's of dollars of music?

    I tried to contact Apple, but by their recommendations, I got nowhere.

    Thanks for the help.

    You did not "lose" your music. It's on your computer. I have several VCR tapes. I have not "lost" them, I don't have a VCR anymore.  You can always play your music on your computer, on a car player that plays files in AAC format, on any player who plays any format you can convert.  You can't just synchronize with your gadget.  The world is not over.

    Your mistake is not realizing that Apple is working with a mobile time window on 5-7 years.  Never buy anything if she is to use software or hardware that is different from any other part of your computer system more than 7 years.  iOS9 requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn works only with computers that can run Cougar or higher.

    It is not an ideal solution for you. You can subscribe to Match iTunes and use iCloud as your storage space central sync.  Older versions of iTunes are still functioning with iCloud.

  • My machine is too old to run Windows 8?

    I have an old OEM Office of as 2010.
    Initially, it came with Vista Home Basic, but then I've upgraded to Windows 7.
    The upgrade worked. The machine worked well.
    So I guess he could manage Windows 8 too.
    It is an emachines t3656.
    The specifications are

    Intel® Celeron® 440 2 GHz

    POWER 250W
    Max of 2 GB of RAM.

    I put a 200 GB in there HARD drive
    Card mother SATA 3
    Intel GMA 950 GPU support dx9

    These specifications should be able to start at least right of Windows 8?
    Well, it's not start.
    I installed Windows 8 x 64 for 200 GB HARD drive.
    Then when that I start the computer happened to step "peripheral Getting ready."

    It will happen to 33% and then just crash.
    The only installed hardware I have on the machine is all originally supplied with the machine, with the exception of the RAM card. I replaced the unit of 1 GB that it came with a 2 GB. Except that it's just the screen, mouse, hard drive, dvd drive, card reader, and cpu.
    I checked the drive HARD seagate seatools and no error came.
    I even put the HARD drive in my office today and it started normally.
    None of the material is damaged because before I put Windows 8 on the machine, I turned it on just to see if it still worked and it started Windows 7 very well.
    I was going to just throw this desktop computer because I already have a new, but instead of throw, I thought I could give it to my niece for her birthday.
    That's why I'm recovering.
    Any help?

    Hello

    Yes, that material is way too dated to run Windows 8/8.1. The reason for which installation is probably defective is generally because there is simply no device drivers even near compatible for your hardware on Windows 8/8.1.

    If in doubt, always run the wizard upgrade - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-assistant-download-online-faq

  • My MacBook Pro is too old to run the latest version of the Adobe Creative Cloud?

    Hi people,

    I downloaded a demo of Illustrator a few weeks ago and it kept crashing.

    One of my colleagues has suggested that my computer is perhaps too old already...

    But I got more ready-made creative cloud in 2012. And I think that I abandoned it in 2014.

    Maybe my laptop can't handle the current version? I also wonder if it cannot even manage the last update of macOS... been a little slow since I upgraded.

    Here are the specs:

    Thank you for your time!

    It makes sense to buy one that suits at the time where you can afford.

    Be aware that office creative Cloud such as Photoshop and Illustrator won't work on the iPad Pro. The iPad Pro works mobile operating system from Apple iOS, so it will only work the cloud of mobile applications.

    Adobe mobile, iPhone, iPad, Android apps | Adobe Creative Cloud

    It cannot run any desktop cloud that require Apple's OS X operating system.

    A well specified MacBook Pro will give good service and run applications such as Photoshop and Illustrator Office...

  • Resurrect the old PDF files into usable documents

    Hi all

    I have a few dozen files PDF that was apparently created by scanning the old doc printed 1990 (full of staple holes and Visual noise, like perhaps other pages had glued over time) in PDF without benefit of OCR. I don't know how long the PDF was created, but Ctrl + D shows Acrobat 5.x as the latest version of the cluster. The files have a line drawings. Some have tables created in the old typewriter/WordPerfect bullies: using special characters to delimit columns online. Roll forward about 20 years now... These old relics of decades are the only things that shows how something important, and I have to put things in a useful format for programmers and developers of new products today. Unfortuntately, there is no admin on the staff, and yours is really too short a time to allow to fix such things even at 120 OMP.

    I use Acrobat Pro Extended v.9 on XP - SP3. (I have access to Acrobat 9 on Win7, but I'm just a die-hard XP.)  I tried to run 'Recognize text in multiple files using OCR' with parameters to ClearScan and Word output, and it really gum up the layout until you can not literally follow one sentence to another enough say where are the sentences and paragraphs.  I've seen some other posts about the differences between the 3 OCR options (still a little foggy on it) and thought maybe ClearScan would be a good choice and then save them in Word or save it as plain text or RTF, but ClearScan 'seen' the Visual noise and the punctuation marks and special characters. Maybe it was a hypersensitivity?

    What Miss me about the settings? Or is there something I could / should do to clean up this Visual noise before running OCR? I need ideas like a lot of people who know more that I do what I can maybe you! :-)

    Thanks in advance,

    Wintenberger

    CH-

    I forgot to mention, on some pages, there are also hand-written notes. Is there a way to get the OCR to understand handwriting? Or if I use the typewriter tool to record the handwritten stuff, is it possible to remove the PDF manuscript stuff before running OCR?

    PPS-

    These are not legal documents, but I'm working copies stored away so that the original PDF files are archived for posterity.

    As mentioned, some of the 3rd party are supposed to do a better job, as the OCR is their main goal. When I did my job, I OCRB the scan, then moved to my word processor. Of course, it was not perfect, but much better than of type from scratch. My copy is pretty good and about 600 dpi I recall. I spent probably not more than about 10 minutes per page on average. Maybe it's even higher. I had to retype each equation. The alternative is to copy the equations in the form of a graph. In some cases, you may even want to anyway as you so that the image of the equation to the view that you retype. I have just try a few pages and see what you can get. Be sure to keep a copy of your Moose and work in parts.
