Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

I bought a new Ipod touch, my itunes will not see the music I already have on my PC

I bought a new Ipod touch, my itunes will not see the mp3 songs I already have on my PC

I have thousands of mp3's on my PC. I used to use a Zune, it died I made the move to I pod touch. I downloaded I tunes to my PC and a small amount of my music showed up on the screen. I did a search for an artist for whom I have lots of songs. I tunes can't find him and tries to direct to the I tunes store to buy stuff by him. Unacceptable
So then I went to my windows explorer, opened my folder for the artist, right clicked on a song, chose "play" and I tunes then played it. So now I tunes can find that one song but none of the others in that folder. I don't want to do this drill with all my songs since I have thousands that I tunes can't or won't display. Is this just some cynical move by Apple to get me to re-buy music I already have?

TS2972 I have 4 Apple TV's. All set up to Home share. One will not see the computer. It is also the only 720 I have. The other three are 1080's. How do I get the 4th one (the720) to recognize my Mac?

Need more information to help you, but I am providing some suggestions. Sorry if you are past these type of basic things. But didnt really have much to start with and understand your technical level to start with.
Have you got into Settings > Computers > Turned on Home Sharing (Note: You must use the some Apple ID used by the iTunes library on your MAC for them to see one another)
How is your MAC connected to the network vs the 720 ATV2? Is one WiFi and the other Ethernet? Have you tried switching the ATV2 to WiFi if Ethernet?
Has the MAC been restarted since this started happening? Same with your Router and any other networking device being used? Sometimes an IP conflict can arise in your networking and most consumer networking equipment does not know how to "self heal" without a reboot.
Make sure you have given those things a whirl and share back your results. Any other information you can provide, such as how you connect to your network from each ATV and MAC.

I have a Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an antennae?

I have an Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an additional antennae? If so, which one because my research is confusing me about what is supposed to work with this computer.

Please check out the following Apple Support article to see if your particular Power Mac model supports an external Wi-Fi antenna.

I have an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4 I also have about 30 Kodack photo CDs that I wish to convert from PCD to Jpeg but Mavericks will not see the files, they are grey. Is there any way to convert them?

I have an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4 I also have about 30 Kodack photo CDs that I wish to convert from PCD to Jpeg but Mavericks will not see the files, they are grey. Is there any way to convert them or must I do it on another machine?

iPhoto used to support the PCD format up to a few years ago. It's extremely frustrating that Apple decided to no longer support this format and now I'm directed to pay nearly $40 for an app that will (GraphicConverter 9). Did Lemke Software make a deal with Apple so we'd have to pay a premium for a very overpriced converter? And, how are decisions like this supposed to encourage the use of iPhoto?
Apple users already pay a premium to use a Mac. Obstacles like these eventually destroy loyalty to the Apple brand. Just ask Microsoft how their back room deals that exploited their customer base worked out for them.

While downloading the free trial for Final Cut Pro X my internet has dropped out many times. It does however seem to continue ok each time it reconnects. Will this affect the software when it finishes? Is this a problem? Any advice please?

This has happened to me with a few downloads without any upsets.
You should be OK.
As I recall the download is around 1.2 gig so it takes a bit of time and effort to get it to your system.

Windows 8.1 will not see the Printers host name or ip address

I have tried installing an OfficeJet Pro 8615 on two different Windows 8.1 computers (wireless) but did not connect. Pirnter is connected to network wireless (192.168.111.153). Router is 192.168.111.1. The printer was installed from a Vista (wired) desktop and it connected and printed fine. Both 8.1s can ping router but not the printer. Host name install does not work either. Router is a new Cisco RV180w. It works fine everywhere else. Printer wireless power is 5 of 6. Have looked for shared devices setting on Win 8.1 but have not found it yet. Win 8.1 computers are both 64bit and the install download showed 64x. I am running out of things to check. Can anyone help me? Win 8.1 computers sees other devices on the network but not the printer. Print & Scan Doctor does not see the printer either.
Now I am having the same problem with a Win7 (64) install. It can't see it either. Once I plugged this one into the network then it saw the printer and installed and printed. But if I unpluged the network wire and made it wireless then it stopped seeing the printer. So I am having some kind of a wireless issue.

Hi @EdEdata ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. Thanks for all the details of what you have done and the restuls. (Very helpful) I have read about your HP OfficeJet Pro 8615 Printer not connecting wireless and is not seen by the Print and Scan Dr. Here is a document on printer does not keep a wireless connection. Try assigning a Static IP address. You might have to change the channel.
Make sure your computer is connected to 802.11b/g/n wireless router over a 2.4 GHz connection. NOTE: HP Printers are currently not compatible with 802.11n 5.0 GHz networks. This HP document here, explains about a printer wireless.

Help! I transferred the data from my old Macbook pro with some success, but now my new Macbook Air contents think they are the remote disc and that the old Mac Pro is the hard drive. What did I do and how do I fix it?

I transferred the data from my old 2006 MacBook Pro 17". Thanks for the help on that. I thought that I was doing it right. Used a backup hard drive and time machine. Problem: Now my new macbook air thinks it is the old machine and that the remote disc is the mb air. Clicks want to take things to mobile me instead of iCloud, old applications launch instead of the new ones. How do I fix the mess I have made? Like I said before, I am a software user and don't really know what I am doing when I start into the guts of the software, but I am able to learn. Thanks for any help.

iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

When I click play , my computer will not play the song???

When I click play on itunes, my song(s) will not play. My computer is authorized...any suggestions from anyone?

Why is Itunes not answering this question? Why do we have to do the work of solving problems in their software? That is a question I would like to add here.

After I used the migration tool to transfer contents of my previous MacBook Pro I cannot log in to my new MacBook Pro. I have tried using old and new passwords but to no effect. I cannot use my Apple ID. How can I re-set my MBook to factory setting pls?

I have been a proud owner of Apple products for many years. However, this problem is very frustrating! Any help will be appreciated. I used the migration tool to transfer the contents of my old MacBook Pro to my new shiny MacBook Pro Retina! After migration finished I tried to access my new MacBook Pro retina. However, when asking me to log in it refuses to accept the passwords from either the new MacBook or the old one! I do not have the option of using my Apple ID either.... Please help! Unfortunately, I am past my 90 day Apple Support!!

Restart holding down the CMD+R keys, launch Disk Utility and erase the HD, quit DU, and restore the OS. On first boot, use the Setup Assistant to do the migration. Details in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

Icannot get my pcs to see the external hard drive when I attatch it to the usb port of the airport extreme. They do recognize a thumb drive but will not see the external hard drive. What do I need to do. The ext hard drive is a "MY PASSPORT" with no pw

I need assistance getting my windows computers to see my external harddrive attached to the airport extreme. It is a my passport. The disk shows on the airport utilitiy but neither of my pcs can see it. If i connect a simple thumb dirve they see it just fine.
What do i need to do to get this to work. There is no password on the external hard drive at the moment. I tried removing it to see if that would work.

There are a number of posts related to access issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
Search for: security
Click 'Local Security Policy'
Goto Local Policies > Security Options
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
Click OK
To disable Windows Search:
Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
Press OK, close all windows and restart.
A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

MacBook Pro will not see the NSA Drives Unless the NSA is restarted.

I Have two MacBook Pro's on a wireless AirPort network that has a D-Link 321 NSA connected tot eh LAN Hub. All computers including one of the MAcBook Pro's see the NSA Drives. The newest MacBook Pro will only see and connect to the NSA if I restart te NSA D-Link unit.
Any sugesstions on the setup or config of the MacBook that might help here.
Thank you

I have the same camera and never had a problem connecting it to my PC. I just bought a MacBook Pro and now I cannot figure out how to get it to recognize the camera either. Sorry I cannot offer any suggestions, but wanted to get on this thread to see if anyone else can help. Good luck!

G5 Dual 2.0 will not see sata dirve, but boots to ide on the cdrom cable

I have a G5 dual 2.0 and it will not see the sata drive. I have a 320 wd and a 80 wd.
At one point last night I was able to partition the hd using firewire and a mac mini. But no longer can see the drive.

How do I get the sata back working?
In info, it show the ide and then says k2 sata root twice below that.
I am running 512 pc3200 ram
Any help appreciated

Hi, This is a power mac mini 1.42 with tiger
I tried with my macbook and it would not see it, and the macbook was asking to do some crazy thing to be able to use it as storage, just left macbook alone.
When I formated I zero'd all data, then just used whatever was default.
Messing around now, I can see the 80 gig. Panther just installed with much difficulty LOL, so my machine is fine, just need to figure out the drive now
The 320, I will put in a HP machine and use gparted again. Should I leave it unformatted or try a different file system? I think when I wiped the windows from it I left it unformatted the first time.
After I did partition, I made 3 partitions on the 320 and drug my os9 folder onto the second partition, Maybe that did it. This is the first I am really messing around with a g5, so much to learn.
I think zapping pram frequently is what is working so far. Going after the 320 now
