The End to Buying the Office, Student and Home Edition of MS Office?
Many consumers buy Microsoft's Office, Student and Home Edition of MS Office, which includes Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.
Although the Office, Student and Home Edition is less expensive, this version does not include Outlook, and that could
lead to future problems. Here's why: - Outlook Express is no longer available (because of the
demise of Vista) and has been replaced with Windows Mail. If you are a longtime
user of Outlook Express and you have years of email stored in folders, you may
find that Windows Mail cannot successfully import your "old" emails.
Exporting these old email folders to Outlook seems to be the only Microsoft
solution that works.
- Another problem with Windows Mail is that it is not
included in Windows 7. Its replacement is Windows Live, which is an application
partially housed on the Microsoft web server. What this means is that all your
data is not housed on your computer - you may have trouble backing up your
contacts, email, calendar, etc.
- Do you have a SmartPhone? Backing it up and
synchronizing it with your computer is a must. Unfortunately, SmartPhones will
only synchronize with Microsoft Outlook.
We recommend
spending the extra money and buying the Office, Home and Business Edition which includes
Outlook.
(The Office, Student and Home Edition retails for ~$150 and the Office, Home and Business Edition retails for ~$280.)

The Importance of Sync'ing Your iPhone
Bad things happen if you do not sync your iPhone with your computer.
When Apple discovers a problem on your iPhone's operating system or a
new feature is created, a new release of the iPhone software is
released.
That new release is installed on your iPhone via iTunes. When you
connect your iPhone to a computer, iTunes starts up and checks to see if
your software is up to date. If not, it advises you of a newer release
of software that is available for download and upgrade to your iPhone.
Here are some thing to consider when upgrading the software on your
iPhone:
- Stay up to date. It can be more problematic to upgrade from an
older release of software to the current release. Periodic sync'ing with
iTunes will ensure that you have the most current release of software
loaded on your iPhone.
- Make sure your iPhone is backed up. Most upgrades will erase your
iPhone data (calendar, contacts, applications, etc.), before the upgrade
occurs. The upgrade process should backup and restore all your data but
we have seen this process fail. Your backup will be your safety net if
the restoration fails from the upgrade process.
If you need help sync'ing your iPhone with iTunes, here is an article from
Apple on the process http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386.
If you have any further problems, please feel free to contact High Tech
House Calls at 404.229.0839 or carlthorne@hthcatlanta.com.
