Reinstalled xp pro. Need to updates
Had to reinstall xp pro on an old pc. Used - included recovery disk had xp sp1. You want to recover up to sp3 but when I try to install sp2, I thought that I must have sp1a. Microsoft says do not install it if I have 1 1a. How to get back to sp3?
First of all, you need not install sp 2 in order to get MS 1 to sp 3.
The difference between sp1 and sp1a is only the removal of the Virtual Machine Java MS (which Microsoft was forced to do after losing a lawsuit filed by Sun). So, despite the Microsoft articles that say you need sp1a in order to install sp3, it should should work perfectly for sp1.
How do you "say you" you need sp1a? Did you go Windows Update once you have reinstalled using your recovery disk?
The following text is from an old post of MS MVP Shenan Stanley, but it is still topical advice (you can ignore analyses anti-malware if you just do the recovery and have not yet connected to the computer to the Internet):

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950717
Suggestions:
(1) download the full installation of SP3 file or burn the ISO download to
CD.
(2) ensure (as is likely) you have no spyware/malware doing a full
Scan with SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes.
(3) CHKDSK
(4) defragment
(5) make sure that your drivers are up to date (from the material
respective web pages of the manufacturer).
(6) restart the right before you try to install SP3.
7) disconnect from the internet before installing (physically).
(8) disable your antivirus and software anti spyware applications when you are about
install SP3.
Some (if not all) which is covered in the links above.
Other than the "automatic updates" or the Windows Update web page - how can you
get SP3?

Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU
Hello
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.A lot, I searched but found nothing.
The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?THX in advance,
JohnHello
First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)

I have the macbook pro (OS 10.6.8) and the iphone 6 s. The latest version of iTunes is 11.4. When it is connected to the MAC, I get the message that itunes must be upgraded. How to synchronize or import/export files(images/music)? Fact is need to update itunes?
Hi sonalnj,
I understand that you cannot synchronize your iPhone as iTunes is requested it must be updated. I can help you with that.
According to the technical specifications for a 6 s iPhone, you need a Mac running OS X v10.8.5 or later version with iTunes 12.3 or later. Because you are on OS X 10.6.8 your version of iTunes is up to date with this OS.
iPhone 6 s Tech Specs
http://www.Apple.com/iPhone-6s/specs/Now to fix that, you need to update your Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.11 El Capitan. If you want to go to the Mountain Lion, you can do it with the first link below. The cost will be $19.99 and a code will be delivered to you if you can download it via the Mac App Store. Once you have upgraded, be sure to make all software updates to go with him to get the latest version of iTunes.
OS X Lion mountain
http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/D6377Z/A/OS-x-mountain-lionNow the other option is to move to OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and is a free update that you can do right in the Mac App Store, if you meet the system requirements. Take a look at the following article for more details on how to do it.
Update of OS X El Capitan

I have the macbook pro (OS 10.6.8) and the iphone 6 s. The latest version of iTunes is 11.4. How to synchronize or import/export files(images/music)? Fact is need to update itunes? Also you can sync ipod touch?
iOS9 on a mobile device requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn requires a computer running OSX 10.8.5 or higher. Update of the system only checks the updates for the current version of the system you run, but that itself can be updated. It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements. Find your computer on the web site of http://www.everymac.com model and near the bottom of the specification of the system section, he will tell what versions of the operating system, it is able to run. If you can not run a newer system, you will not be able to sync this phone to your current computer. If she can run 10.8.5 or higher, you can either buy a download for Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion code online, or you can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11. El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM. Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.
At el capitan Snow Leopard, it will make my macbook is slow? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7412959

I just reinstalled XP pro and I can't get the updates from the windows update web site. Whats up with this please help
There is no way that anyone might be able to help without more. My initial guess and it is just a guess, is that you have to update Internet Explorer .v8. Click HERE and download IE8 and install it. Try again updates once the installation is complete.

I need to format and reinstall XP Pro, but I don't have a cd or my key
Product key number / reformatting
Hello, I need to format my computer and reinstall XP Pro. I don't have the XP CD that came with the computer or the product key. I have an XP CD from another computer, though. Is it possible to extract the product key from the computer before formatting and use it with the other copy of XP? I don't want to get stuck in the middle of the format!
Thank you
www.magicaljellybean.com, download and run. This will show the product key.
Your version of the operating system is likely OEM if it came with the computer. This key will not work with the software from another computer for this reason.
You probably need to purchase a version of XP, somewhere.
