Installing mac os on Mac book with windows xp

Hi I have a mac book a1278 with windows xp on it, i want to install os x 10.4 that came on 2 cds, but when I put CD and choose to boot from it, the mac book just keeps restarting itself, I have also tried this with external drive and the results are the same.
Can anyvody help?

An A1278 Mac is a 13 inch MacBook Pro, unibody design, from 2009 to 2012. The OS version you are trying to install is too old for that type of Mac.
Take the Mac to an Apple Store and see what they say.

Resource booking with Windows 8.1 and office 2010

I've two SP3 Laptops running 8.1 on out network. I've Office 2010 installed on these and they are mostly working fine;
However they cannot book resources - this is a common win7 fault we would fix here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982774/en-gb
But its not working under Win 8.1, neither the fixit icon or the manual config.
We are presently running exchange 2003
Is there a 8.1 2010 fix you know of?
Many thanks,
Stuart

Hi,
Currently I don't have the exact same environment to test, please make sure you have modified the registry keys correctly and if possible, try this manually on multiple Windows 8.1 machines to see if this is an individual issue or widely affected. If this
fix doesn't work on all Windows 8.1 machines, please provide feedback or to report this issue with this solution, please leave a comment on the "Fix it for me" blog or send an
email message.

It is critically important for you to have created Recovery media before attempting to create a dual boot installation. Make sure that it works by performing a Factory Image recovery.
Make sure that the Ubuntu type matches the Windows 8,1 type. That is critical for a dual boot installation.
A 64-bit OS type will see or recognize other 32 and 64-bit operating system.
If you have a 32-bit Ubuntu it will not see Windows 8.1 as being present.
A 64-bit version of Ubuntu will work well with a 64 or 32-bit version of Windows 8.1.

What is the size of your hard disk? PSE 4 is a very old program and I suspect it is not able to access the entire hard disk on your machine. Just a thought here.

Mac OS (10.6.4) with Windows Server 2008 file shares, kernel errors

We experience problems with the Windows enviroment and around 15 Apple computers running MacOS 10.6.4. All Macs are Mac Pro and bought just before the hexacore series.
Problem 1: At random times the network is really slow, finder can't display the items in a SMB share. The shares are located on a Server 2008.
Problem 2: When a file is openend, there is a lock file on the share. When the document is saved and closed, the lockfile isn't removed directly. This causes problems when people reopen the document too fast and get a read-only document because the file is allready in use.
I tried to copy a 80GB file from a Ubuntu (created with /dev/null) to the Mac. There are no problems copying it from Ubuntu with rsync.
Then I moved the 80GB file to the server share, these errors came up:

This might relate to you as you are using a Windows 2008 Server with Mac clients.
Apparently there seems to be an issue with SMB, since Microsoft rolled out SMB 2.0 with Windows 2008 Server. According to Microsoft, SMB 2.0 is supposed to solve world hunger and bring peace to the middle east, but in reality, it just puts up more road blocks for non-Microsoft platforms. Check out this article I found:
http://www.petri.co.il/how-to-disable-smb-2-on-windows-vista-or-server-2008.htm
Currently we have an issue with all 40 of our Macs not being able to save files properly to the Windows 2008 file server due to what the message claims to be a permission issue, but in reality it seems like something to do with the SMB protocol. We are investigating the issue and will see in a few days if the problem can be resolved by disabling SMB 2.0 on Windows 2008 Server.
Let us know if this problem resolves your problem as well. You never know how many other issues can be caused by a twitchy SMB protocol.

Can't install itunes due to a problem with windows installer package

hello there i can't install itunes due to a problem with the windows installer package i found a page on this site (here is the link) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304405 i done every thing on it and i still haven't been able to fix the problem i have tryed the following unstalling itunes deleteing the registry keys deleteing all the temp files disableing all anit-virus software and anit-spyware. runing cc clearner downloading a new installer for itunes and windows installer and the script thing. and trying to reinstall. nothing seems to work i don't know what else to do this is the error message i get when i try to install i tunes. "there is a problem with this windows installer package.
A program required for thsi install to complete could not be run.

I pulled my brains out trying to figure this bug out and I may have a solution for you.
All of it installed fine in my desktop, but a friend's laptop got the error you mentioned on quicktime, itunes, flash, officeXP and about anything else I tried to load for him.
If you look in: C:\documents and settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp there will be an iTunes install log...open it in Notepad and see if it isn't exiting with a 1619 error while running msiexec.exe
If this is the case, this fix should work for you.
Seems some configurations of XP (and possibly Vista) aren't allowing full administrator rights to the account you set up when you installed XP (even though User Editor says you do have those rights.)
I read 2 MS articles and turned off simple file sharing, then gave ownership of the entire C: drive to the administrator. Logged the admin account off, logged his "admin" account in, and then gave rights to his personal directory to his account (c:\docs and settings\<username>)
Once I did that, every install that had previously errored out performed flawlessly.
The MS articles in question:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316309 (1619 error)
and
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308419 (how to set special permissions)
Hope this helps!

Why isn't itunes 11.1.3 installing on my new VAIO laptop with windows 8.1 (64 bit)?

I am trying to install itunes on my new VAIO laptop 64 bit with Windows 8.1 operating system. At the end of the installation, as soon as itunes is trying to open, an error message comes up, saying "an error has caused the program to stop running." I tried the compatibility troubleshoot, it says "incompatible program". Does that mean, even latest version of itunes can not run on windows 8.1? If there is any solution, please advise. By the way, I have tried to run it on compatibility mode for windows 7 , windows vista etc, no luck. Thank you.

Hello there, Indranil61.

How to install 11.5.10 on VMWare with Windows 2003 Server?

Need help on installing 11.5.10 on VMWare which runs Windows 2003 Server.
I've XP Pro laptop with 2GB RAM and 80GB HDD and external HD with 250GB. Gathered all required s/w for installation.
The Win 2003 Server VMWare is sitting on the external HD. I want to install pre-req s/w along with 11.5.10 on the VMWare.
(1) How do I make the laptop's CD drive and HD visible to the VMWare?
(2) Can I use the XP laptop HD as staging area and install on VMWare on external HD?
(3) What are the disadvantages/risks of using the external HD for both staging and actual installation?
Any help is appreciated.
FYI - we already have an Oralce 11.5.9 on VMWare. All services are up and running. Able to logon to SQL*Plus and EBS home page. The issue is, we are not able to connect to this Oralce VMWare image from other VMWare image(Siebel), ie, if we do a telnet to oracle vmware image connection establishes and closes immediately. No clue on why this is happening. But this is not happening when we did telnet from a vmware image(plain win 2003 server) that does not have Siebel. All vmware images work fine individually.
Any inputs?
Thx,
Jags

Install Solaris 8 on Gateway Laptop with Windows XP

I have Gateway laptop with Windows XP pre-installed. Now I want to install Solaris 8 without removing the Windows XP. I wanted to use dual boot option. Can any body advice me if there is any whit paper on this subject(with step by step insturctions). I have partition magic but it can only partition and format to NTFS, FAT, FAT32 and Ext2 (linux only).
Thanks for your help.

It can be done but the biggest stump is the network interface. I've an Acer 350 series with a built-in NIC. I also use XFree86 because the Xsun doesn't recognize the video card. The biggest problem in getting Solaris x86 working is getting the network interface to work, since the PCMCIA support is horrible. You need to be sure the the components on your laptop conform to the HCL. As for X, just use XFree86.

Installing CS2Premium upgrade onto new laptop with Windows 8

I am trying to install a Creative Suite 2 Premium upgrade onto a new laptop with Windows 8. The upgrade is from Photoshop 5.0, which I also have the original discs for, but is not installed on this new laptop. Therefore, the upgrade is not being recognized. I tried putting the 5.0 disc in and having the installation search for it as verification, but that wasn't working. I realize both of these programs are ancient, but they are what I have. So be it. :-) Can someone help me figure out how to get my CS2 upgrade to install?

Hi tensuns,
You can download the CS2 Setup from the below mentioned link also please use the serial key mentioned in it.
