I can't use my Radeon 8670M ever since I've installed Windows 8.1
I've tried a lot of things but I can't seem to find a way for my laptop to use the Radeon not the Intel HD Graphics Family. I cann't play my games because of this.... There is a thing about the Catalyst Control Center I can't configure the graphics for specific programs ( pardon my grammar) AMD catalyst control center it says it cant start the program because there is no AMD driver software instaled or there is no AMD card there.
Hi @
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your AMD Radeon HD 8670M not being used on your HP Pavilion TouchSmart 14-n012ex Ultrabook. Your AMD Radeon HD 8670M is a dedicated card and I do not recommend you making changes to the Notebook to use the other card.
The Switchable Graphics feature allows you to switch between using the Intel graphics and a dedicated graphics controller like AMD in a computer. For example, you can switch between the enhanced battery life of the Intel graphics while running on laptop battery power and the performance capabilities of the discrete graphics controller while the laptop is plugged into AC power. Your Notebook will automatically switch to the Intel graphics if the computer changes to battery power, or it can switch to the discrete graphics if the computer is plugged into AC power. So if the game is going to use more resources it will use the Intel graphics card.
You can only change graphical settings for performance, which card it uses depends on the game or software you are running. It is not possible to disable the AMD chip and only use the Intel. This could elevate the temperatures and cause a hardware malfunction.
Most time things can be resolved if you perform your updates.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase.
Thanks.

Can I use imac 2007 which have dead hard drive as a Mac mini display
Can I use imac 2007 which have dead hard drive as a Mac mini display
If just the hard drive is defective you could mke a bootable USB thumb drive or bootable Firewire HD. Not sure of the connecting cables for the monitor functions. This could provide the functions though.

Can my Intel iMac read double-layer DVDs?
What are double-layer DVDs as opposed to regular ones, anyways?
A friend wants to send me several DVDs worth of files on "double-layer DVDs". Can I read them?
I have a Intel iMac (dual processor) with a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846 CD/DVD Drive.
I don't want my friend to go through this and then I can't read them. Especially since he makes it out like double-layer DVDs are maybe new or advanced?
Huh? Anyone?Can my Intel iMac read double-layer DVDs?
Yes.
What are double-layer DVDs as opposed to regular ones, anyways?
These DVDs contain a second writable layer, which doubles the DVD's capacity.

Can I use iMac as a monitor to plug my media player to it? That is only turn on the iMac Mon, not the OS X.
If yes, how?
Many thanksNo. All methods of using the iMac as a display require interaction with the OS installed on it.

Can I use my Yamaha survival kit DVD (New Yamaha 635 keyboard) on Lion? The window advises not because it's a Power PC program. Thanks!!
Thanks Niel. Can you tell me how to learn whether my DVD is Mac OS X server 10.5 or 10.6?
That info is not in Info. The disk was created Aug 2004, so it seems very unlikely.
I guess I have to ask Yamaha for an upgrade/replacement. It has not been easy to reach Yamaha support. Suggestions welcome -

Can I use my old internal hard drive and copy everything into the new one?
My internal hard drive is running out of space, and I want to buy a new one. But to do that, I'll have to buy a external hard drive to back up everything and then copy it back onto the new internal hard drive , right? I don't have that much budget. So can I use the old internal hard drive that I took out of my Macbook and copy everthing back into the new internal hard drive after the repalecment? so I don't need to buy a external hard drive to back up everything
Tks!You will have to buy a new HDD and an enclosure to make the transfer. You can use Disk Utility to make the transfer.
INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MBP
1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
2. You will need a HDD enclosure. One with a USB connection will do. A 9 pin Firewire is better.
3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE. From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field. Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'. Click on the 'Erase' button.
5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top). Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination' field. Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more. A Firewire will speed up the transfer. This will result in both drives having identical information on them. INSTALLING
6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives. Start the MBP and you have finished the installation. The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have. -
Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as to store information from two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?
Yes you can but you need to partition the drive into at least 2 separate drives.
To do that you need to use a Windows PC to do the first partitioning. Say you split the drive into two partitions each 1TB (or close to 1TB) each.
Partition fand format both partitions on a Win PC as one NTFS and the other FAT32.
Then move it to the Mac and Reformat the FAT32 partition Mac Extended (Journaled) with a GUID Partition Table.
I have that same drive and that is what I did originally with it. I now have it just for the Mac as I have other externals for the Win systems.
Good Luck. -
I want to triple boot my Mac Pro I have Snow Leopard and XP on separate drives (osx on drive 1, xp on drive 2) and I want Windows 7 on another drive (drive 4, drive 3 is used by osx for storage), can it be done by temporarily removing the xp drive and installing windows 7 on drive 4?
I realise bootcamp only allows 2 operating systems and refit could change the size of my current xp drive to accomodate W7, that is not an option here for various reasons one being the drive is pretty much at capacity with only about 30gig free (I work with video so that free space fluctautes quite a bit). I have a brand new drive 4 with 1TB set aside ready for W7 but I'm unsure how to go ahead?
any help or advice would be really appreciated, thanksBoot Camp is used to support Windows on the same drive.
You can have a different OS on every drive.
You could have Windows 7, Vista, and XP all on one drive if you so choose.
I recommend not putting Windows and OS X on the same dirve when talking about Mac Pro - unless you just need something small and lite.
Remove all your other drives while you install Windows 7.
You could even relocate XP - if you need it even - or recover the hard drive space.
You should always keep 30% free for Mac OS; same for data/media drives.
Considering 1.5TB WD Black $110.... and you want OS X to be on a fast high performance drive as well. -

I have recently loaded Icloud and received the following message
"You can't use ICloud when multiple versions of Outlook are installed. To use ICloud with outlook uninstall one version" As far as I am aware I only have one version. Is there anyone who had a similar issue and if you did what is the solution?You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems. -
Can I use Java Card Development Kit 2.2.1 on Windows XP?
Can I use Java Card Development Kit 2.2.1 on Windows XP?
If no, which kit supports XP?It is not as strait forward as per say.
I would like to share some tips that I have learnt duirng my recent experience with Java Card Development Kit 2.1.2 ( It presumed that JAVA SDK and JCDK is properly installed:
Additonal installation
- you need to download Java Communicatons API version 2.o for Windows at http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/downloads/index.html
- unzip the downloaded file javacom20-win20.zip
- copy comm.jar and javax.com.properties to %JAVA_HOME%\lib
- copy win32com.dll to %JAVA_HOME%\bin
Configuration of Environment
- Activate System under Control Panel
- Click Environment Variable button under Advance Tab.
- Check that JAVA_HOME and JC21_HOME are there under User Variables for user123
- Create a new enviroment by clicking New button under User Variables and Enter "CLASSPATH" for Variable Name and ".;c:\j2sdk1.4.1_04\lib\comm.jar for Variable Value ( the ".;" is important for the entry and varies according to your JAVA_HOME)
Modifying %JC21_HOME%\samples\build_samples.bat
- Next you need to modify the compiler option in build_samples.bat
- Use editor to look for the portion "Compile Sample" and add "- target 1.1" to every statements here. A sample is listed below:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac -target 1.1 %JCFLAGS% src\com\sun\javacard\samples\HelloWorld\*.java
You may proceed to test the demo codes as instrucrted in the User Guide.
I hope the above will help those who are keen to have a head start in Java Card Developemnet. -

Guys, I been in the business working on PC and MAC for years. So I am not green at this, I was looking for some kind of option to get past the boot loader.. Which is failing.
I know how to boot into these modes.. Done tons of research before posting and couldn't find anything.
It will not go into Internet Recovery, or any thing else. I hear the sound .. then that is it.. I get nothing else..
I have tried clearing the NVRAM which is Option + Command + P + R
Still nothing..
So I thought I would try here to see if maybe there was some trick out there someone might know of that would work.
What else guys? I am hitting th keys right..
Maybe you are looking for
