New computer, old problems

New MacBook Pro MY wife, bought again three weeks ago, manifests a few annoying habits at all, I think, associated with Safari.  When she first brought home I helped put up and deliberately copied on only a couple of files, including our Quicken accounts, from his old machine.  The new computer should be almost squeaky clean at this stage.

First of all, when it opens Safari, it gets not one, but two getpocket.com pop-up windows that have nothing in them.  I used Pocket as an iPhone/iPad app for awhile but have no reason to think that some functions sharing is at stake here.  Question is how to keep these opening windows.  I have looked at the Safari extensions and can't find anything on the Pocket it.

Second, keeps popping up a dialog box asking them to add Apple.com to its shared links, click on the 'OK' button or cancels.  The next time she starts Safari sound here.

Finally, the most embarrassing is an ad in any form that someone - it is not always the same source - has determined that his computer has been attacked by something wrong and need to dial a number or talk to his ISP or any other action.  I had a similar problem with my iMac, but there are three other Macs in our House, all on the same network, which does not exhibit this behavior.  Some of them are on El Capitan, others on older versions of Mac OS.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

  • New computer, old hard drive. Activation?

    I got an old compaq presario 5140 or something and it came with vista on a hard drive of preset. I recently built a new computer with parts and essentially have a new computer. I decided since my old hard drive worked well and was compatible SATA, I want to just install it in the new computer, too.  Now, windows tells me to restart my activation key is not valid, and I need to get a new (I him I had preinstalled about 7 years I have therefore had no idea here), buy a new key or visit support.
    So I ask here what I have to do. I need my computer today for a job if I got quick responses would be greatly appreciated!

    You cannot transfer a preinstalled license.

    OEM and retail licenses:

    If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

    See you soon.

  • With the help of Windows Easy Transfer - need to transfer the old HARD drive to new computer - old HDD attached as external drive for the new usb port of the computer - help

    New computer installed Windows 7 and gave me an option to use Windows easy transfer to transfer files, data, programs, etc. from my old computer.  All I have from the old computer's hard drive; a lightning strike fried either food or his mother by car.  I have attached the hard as a disk to the new computer using the usb cable provided with the external hard drive case.  It is recognized as drive E: on the new computer.

    Trying to follow the instructions given by the Windows Easy Transfer software.  Get the software/folder from the old hard drive (drive E), but trying to run the software that I can't seem to do anything on the old disk.  When asked what is the former or the new computer - I respond to old, but no new file is created for the transfer.  When I answer again, a new file is created on the new computer (rather than the old HDD) and then he transferred again to new.  I can't create a file of whatever it is I want to transfer from the old HDD.

    I can't use an easy transfer cable because the old computer does not only the hard drive.  I can't connect to a network for the same reason.  I only have the hard that I can attach to the new computer.  But I can't get the new computer to process the old hard drive separately for transfer purposes.  The only other option I can think of is to attach the old HDD to another computer, and then try to run the software in this way, but I don't want just the stuff on the old hard drive a copy to the other computer.

    Can anyone help?  Suggest how to get the old hard drive files, data, transferred etc. to the new computer.  What are the steps?

    Thank you.

    Do yourself a favor, with the old drive connected externally, in the browser, simply copy the data files to the location of Documents of the PC win7. You can not copy programs, they need to be reinstalled from media origonal. You can copy all the downloaded files instalation

    You may need to take possession of your old documents folders - see win help to find out how

  • Laptop Extended CS6 on the new computer installation problem

    Hello.

    I hope someone can help me understand how to install CS6 on a new computer. I remember that I first bought CS5 (with a CD), then passed to the CS6 in July 2014, a download, then download and install CS6 extended in February 2015. I don't remember if Extended CS6 was an upgrade ($399?).

    I have disabled the older CS5 and CS6 on the laptop, went to my Adobe account > orders, downloaded and installed Extended CS6 and glued in the serial number. I received a message stating: "it is a valid serial number, but it is not a product qualified reference. Please select a product. "In the drop down menu, Extended CS6 was not an option.

    I think I need to first install CS5 from the CD, and then upgrade to Extended CS6. However, when I try to run the CD on the new laptop (a Dell 7710, running Windows 7 Pro) I get a message that the Installer failed to initialize. If I try to run the CD on the old laptop (a Dell XPS 16, also running Windows 7 Pro), Setup initializes. So, apparently, the issue is specific to the machine. Anyone has an idea as to how I could get the CD to work on the new machine?

    You need not install CS5. Simply enter the serial number when he asks the CS6 Installer.

    What he wants is not a "qualified" product, but a qualifying product. That's the one that you upgraded.

  • VIsta 32-bit OEM - > 64 bit on a new computer (old laptop broken)

    Several years ago, I bought a laptop with Vista 32 bit OEM.  Sometimes the in ' 08 the laptop broke and I would like to use ot that copy of Vista for a new desktop computer I own now.  I need to be 64-bit, however.  Is the license vista 32-bit to 64-bit transferable and I am allowed to install on my new machine since I use only use one license per machine?  I never changed any material in this laptop and have not used the license for any other machine since the.  What would be involved in the use of this license for installing vista 64 bit on my new desktop PC and would it be legal to do?

    No, an OEM license is not transferable to the other machine.

  • My new laptop new and old problems.

    Hello

    I bought a laptop yesterday (12/02/2014) and to be more specific.

    I have 2 laptops both are hp
    G7 and (pavilion dv7) bought yesterday Hitman Pavilion

    G7 Pavilion has a processor 2.30 ghz
    Pavilion dv7 has 3.00 ghz processor (AMD phenom 2 N660)

    both have 4 GB of ram, both are running windows 7 64-bit (dv7 runs g7 professional courses Home premium)

    G7 Pavilion has a rating of 4.6 for windows experience index

    I believe that the dv7 has been formatted by the owners of the store in order to correct any problems, he showed before.

    Pavilion dv7 has a rating of 3.6 - I think than before they formatted, it that the coast was nearly 4.9 or 5.0
    not only the lower side of what the computer itself feels less fast when I use it.

    Why is that what it is now and how get it to be as fast as the g7 or as fast as it used to be?

    After you install a few drivers/software I restarted and it took 15 minutes to show him the windows logo
    I think it might be caused by a bad installation of the bios because the browser shows that they have downloaded
    an update for the bios, then maybe reinstall will fix the problem?
     
    I ran the test of note again after the drivers/software/update and it is now 4.4, but I'm still not satisfied since
    My G7, which is processor 2.30 GHz has a rating of 4.6

    Thank you.

    my experience the indices for both computers is lowest in the graphics
    which is 4.6 for g7 and 4.4 in the dv7
    but as I said to george, most of the subscores components is less in the dv7, and then on the g7

    Model:
    HP Pavilion dv7-4278nr

    Product number
    LF638UA #ABA

    going to check the hp and the CMOS thing.

    It is possible for an individual computer to have abnormal results due to a problem of material or another, but it is impossible to judge according to the information provided here.

    I still don't know the specifications for your particular G7.  I've looked at HP specs for the G7 a dozen variants, and none of them had a 2.3 Ghz processor. So as far as I know, scores you get may be exactly what would wait for material to each machine.

    For example, if I look at the Passmark score cards by comparing the graphic Mobility Radeon HD 4250 to the D7, which marks only 98, it is 30-40% slower than the Intel HD graphics adapter that comes in most of the models of the G7 (note 130). Specific details of importance here.

    The same way if I compare the score D7s Phenom II N660 Passmark of 1851 with a processor Intel Pentium p6200 a G7 clocked at 2.13 Ghz (1342), or an AMD A4 - 3300M (1236), the D7 should be considerably faster. OTOH if the G7 had a Core i3-M350 performer @2.27 Ghz, then despite the execution more slow 700 Mhz of the G7 still has the CPU slightly higher score of the two with a pass mark of 1911.

    We have not discussed RAM but if for example the RAM in the D7 has been changed with incompatible

    modules of memory, that the speed of the memory could be significantly reduced its out-of-factory specifications.

  • New computer internet problems

    I have a Toshiba like 3 weeks ago and it worked fine for 3 days but after a refresh it started to run really slow down and give me whit internet problems and it gives me an error window when I tried to open programs such as windows photo viewer and music player. I have it reboot day, he started to give me problems and the removal of the discount, but it keeps giving me problems especially internet Pentecost, he freezes a lot and takes to long to respond, she also afects the speed of the computer.

    the part of dam is that it doesn't give me the most problems when is internet wifi because that connected through the cable works perfectly well.

    You have probably changed the update settings, but you didn't say if you have previously installed "recommended updates" If you had, then visit Tosh support and redownload/install all the drivers your PC or use system restore to recover a moment where it worked properly
