Recovery of the Internet to install OS on new SSD but now get grey screen
I recently installed an SSD in my Macbook Pro 15 late 2011. I did a cover of the Internet of the installed OS Lion on the new drive. I then migrated all my information, which using El Capitan, from my old hard drive through Time Machine and now I could not go beyond the gray screen with the Apple symbol and the spinning wheel. Any suggestions?

You damaged OS X by restoring a backup made with a new version of OS X that you were running at that time here. In any case, from what you say, it seems that you didn't need to install OS X Lion: you can restore the backup directly on your SSD without having to reinstall OS X.
To do this, Internet recovery includes an option to restore a Time Machine backup. Just boot into Recovery Internet, plug the old hard drive to your Mac, choose the option to restore a backup Time Machine in the "OS X Utilities" window and follow the steps. The SSD will be formatted, your Mac must be up and working soon.

My original machine crashed, and I had to reinstall all my programs on a new computer. Now, Photoshop tells me that I need to activate my program, but when I try it says "Activation failed because the activation server is unavailable at this time" and then he tells me to do by phone, but when I do it says "activation unsuccessful" and ends the call. Its been for me for more than a month, and now its time of crisis and I need my program. Help, please!
Thank you

Please do a forum search before posting a question, Mike. Happens here ad nauseum, at least several times a week.
Essentially, Adobe has decommissioned servers CS2 and provided workaround for holders of CS2 in the form of a version of CS2 not requiring activation and a NEW serial number to go with it...

I tried internet for disk recovery, was the OS x download, was arrested in the Center and told to contact apple support. My question is has the server found something irrelevant in my Macbookpro and wants me to clearfy with them or what? Because they are no more afford the initial download of disk utility. Tried the local support here in Bahrain but they only me to hear their music for 5-10 minutes and you answer is not on the phone. Tried the call center support on their side, but they r constantly mail "contact u shortly" and then another emaiL "so please someone help me get back my reliable laptop once more stable, which is now just dumb." IS IT POSSIBLE TO STOP THE COLLECTION OF THE INTERNET FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME FEEL LIKE THAT. THEY HAVE HOSTED TWICE, BUT ONCE THE UPGRADE OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM STOPPED, I'M NOT ABLE TO START FROM THE BEGINNING.

Why the system writes: installed 4 GB of ram, but usable only 3.6 GB of ram?

3.6 GB is a very good number - much higher than most people's.
All versions of Windows 32-bit client (not just XP/Vista/7/8) have a
Address 4 GB of space (64-bit versions can use much more). It's the
theoretical upper limit beyond which you cannot go.But you can't use the whole address space. Even if you have a
Address space of 4 GB, you can only use around 3. 1 GB of RAM (and as I
said, you do much better than that). This is because some of
This space is used by the hardware and is not available for the operation
system and applications. The amount you can
use varies, depending on what hardware you have installed, but can
range from as little as 2 GB to 3.5 GB. It's usually around
3. 1 GB.Note that the hardware is using the space, not the real address
The RAM itself. If you have a larger amount of RAM, the rest of the RAM
goes unused because there is no address to map space to. -
I want to install the Commander of the force star wars on my new PC, but says it is not compatible with windows 64-bit. I have try on windows XP mode and it tells me that I need to connect a hardware 3D device. I really love the game and I want to use it again.
Any old copy of Windows XP that could be installed in the host system? If you do not, it should be available at a modest price of an online seller. Perhaps (I'm not too), even an old Windows 98 TO work. The game (using a 3D engine) will not work under pure DOS, so you need a Windows environment so that it can work. Just FYI: If you get this old classic to run, new issues may arise. Known are the "mss32.dll" runtime error (you may need to replace this file with the newer version of SW:KOTOR 1) and the issue of video cutscenes (the games uses an obsolete video codec, Smacker - either you find an old *.) DLLS for it or have you convert movies in a modern format).
In conclusion: get old games to run on software/hardware modern (it is not only a problem of BONE) is one of the most fascinating and rewarding challenges to a real fan. But do not expect it will not be easy "out of the box" (or simply insert a CD).

Hi, I want to let my friend use my laptop and I need to set up a guest account. The problem is that when I did it, we cannot access Office so that the person cannot create any word or excel files, etc. All they can do is go on the Internet Explore. So my question is how to get features of office for a guest user?
Don't add a guest account, add another standard user if you want another user to access programs as well.

I have a new iMac and used the disk to install version 6 of photoshop, but I have upgraded to version 12, but its version 6. How can I get version 12? I tried to uninstall, but it does not ask the serial number version 12. Thank you
If you want version 12, then you don't need to install version 6, you must install version 12. If you are really talking about Photoshop Elements, not Photoshop, then the link below, you should get to the download.

If I used a creative combination on an old computer, then installed in my new computer but had to do a factory reset on computer; I could still install Creative suit on the same computer even after factory reset with the CD?
Yes, you should be able to reinstall, but if you can you should disable before resetting the machine. Otherwise, if the two license activations were used and no reset you will need to contact Adobe Support by chat and ask them to reset your activations.

I want to install my photoshop 5.0 but limited edition pc screens, I have to check if it is a 32-bit or 64-bit application. I changed my windows XP to win7 64-bit operating system (I think that's the problem) how to install and run my photoshop 5.0 the on this system?
It is no longer available via adobe and if buy you it to someone else, that you will probably have problems running. I think that it is compatible with win 98 but I don't know if it's available for you using compatibility mode.

Cannot get pse10 to take my styles, have had some PES 10 for 2011 pse13 bought and installed, uninstalled pse10 inorder to get pse13 to install easer, I reinstalled pse10 but now the stules I do not appear in the effect section. I checked the two sections where the styles light up on windows 7
I suggest that you need to reset your preferences file by using this method:
Start PSE10 until the Welcome screen. The home screen looks like this:
When you are in the Welcome screen, press first Ctrl + Alt + Shift + AND click 'change' to get a different dialog like this:
You must click Yes and you're done. This particular area is sometimes hidden, so you will need to drag the homescreen on the side with your mouse a #to make it visible.
I hope this helps.
