Slip streaming SP2 with Windows XP on a mac

Ugh! need to have a step by step method (using a mac) of how to slip stream SP2 (service pack 2) to Windows XP home edition (if possible using Recovery CD's that came with my windows laptop), so I can have a single install disc of Windows XP with SP2 for boot camp to then be able to run windows on my mac mini. All the slip streaming helps avail I've found are doing it using Windows. Can anyone help?

  • Problem with Windows media player on MAC

    I got a new macbook and installed windows vista. When I wanted to play CDs on windows media player there comes a message"windows media player have aproblem..." and the window closes. I contacted the Microsoft support system and they said that the it is the problem with the mac that the Macbook is not really supporting some of the files and they told me to contact the Apple support and even then they could not solve the problem. I returned the first laptop and got a new Macbook again and even the second macbook has the same problem. Could anmy one tell me why this is happening? If your a Macbook user with windows, did you notice this kind of similar problem? Please do let me know. Thanking you.

    If you have the current version of Microsoft Windows Media Player for Mac installed, there is little you can do. The WMPFM is not kept as current as the Windows version (IMO, I think MS hates Apple - and this is intentional).

  • Problems with Windows Media Player for Mac's

    Is it safe to download and opperate Windows media player for Mac's to view video on the web ?
    Anybody has experience with it ? What are possible problems that may be encountered ? Thanks for any input or feedback.

    "Is it safe to download and opperate Windows media player"
    Sure, why not?
    You should know that's it's discontinued, and no longer developed by Microsoft, and therefore will never be native to Intel Macs. You should look to the free Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin from flip4mac.com

  • Help with Windows Domain Login on Mac

    Hello Everyone,
    We have two Mac Pros at my work running Mac OS 10.5.8 and they are attached to the Windows Server / Domain so when the Mac is turned on you login with your Domain credentials (using Win Server to Authenticate). Now all of this has been working fine since the computers were purchased a year ago, until two days ago that is. I turned on the Mac Pro in the morning and tried to login, and the Mac would freeze and do nothing. I restarted and tried again, using the same credentials I always use, but nothing worked. I called the IT guys and had my windows user account reset thinking that the password was expired, still didn't help, so I asked them to reset the whole account, still didn't help.
    At this point I asked a few of my co-workers to login on my Mac using their login info, and they had no problems at all. I decided to dig deeper into this problem and logging in under a "local" Mac account I went into the "Accounts" preferences to check what was going on, to my surprise my Domain account was visible (normally it wasn't unless you were logged in) and under the account it said "sharing only".
    I am still trying to figure out why my Domain account was changed from "Admin, Managed" to "Sharing Only"? So I decided that the easy fix here was to use a previously made (and tested) image file which I created when the Mac Pro was first setup and all the software was installed. So after cloning the image to the Mac HD I turned on the Mac and tried to login, again nothing happened. I can login using the local account, and my co-workers can login fine, but my domain login just refuses to work. I have also tired to login on other Macs in the department and I can login just fine on each one, the only Mac that doesn't let me login is my machine.
    I have run out of ideas, short of re-installing the entire system from scratch.. which I really don't want to do unless I have to. But if anyone out there has any ideas I would more than welcome them.
    Thanks in advance..

    It's probably related to some type of DRM (copy-protection) on the digital copy, and not due to it being any particular type of file format. The DRM scheme probably only works under Windows. And if that is the case, I don't think you will be able to get it to work under Mac OS X, short of running VMware Fusions or Parallels Desktop (or Sun's free VirtualBox) and installing Windows to run under Mac OS X.
    Considering the popularity of Macs recently, and higher use of Macs among creative folks, it's pretty stupid for the studio/distributor to make a key feature Windows-only.

  • Conflict with Windows Media Player for Mac

    I´ve installed parallel desktop on my mac (MacBook Pro), then Windows so I can run a PC only program. The conflict is this: When I want to play a video on WMP (for mac), for example: when I receive an email with a video clip to be played and I double click it, Parallel Desktop starts up automaticaly to play it on windows. I´ve right clicked and tried to specify that WMP on my mac should be the one to open videos by default; but it´s not working, or I´m doing something wrong.
    Any wisdom? Thanks in advance.

    select a .wmv file and enter command+i. in the resulting popup go to "open with" section, select the default application you want (not a Windows Media player for Mac which is extinct) to use and click "change all". see if it sticks now.

  • Problem with windows formatted iPod on Mac

    I have a 20gb 4th gen iPod formatted for Windows. I just received a Mini Mac as a gift and now I want to use the iPod on it. When I connect the iPod and run iTunes it recognizes it and updates and does everything it's supposed to do, but if I try to click on any of the items in the menu on the left (Library, Playlists, etc.) iTunes quits completely and the iPod is ejected. I've tried restoring but that makes it quit, too. I've also tried completely erasing everything from the iPod manually (even the hidden files and folders) but that doesn't reformat it. Any suggestions?
    -C
    Mini Mac   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Senuti.
    It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
    As is Music Rescue.
    Both of these should work with a Windows formatted iPod because Macs can read and write to FAT32 formatted drives.

  • Working with Windows sharing files on MAC disk

    Hi
    I use more often the MAC OS, but i need sometimes to work with windows XP because of 3DStudio.
    i'm using Mac disk to save all my files, but since i need to boot in Windows to get more results i can't get acess to the Mac disk! there is any solution? At the moment i'm using parallels!
    i want to know if there is any simple way to share files (read and save) when i'm working in windows boot?
    Thanks
    n.

    *"i want to know if there is any simple way to share files (read and save) when i'm working in windows boot?"*
    Install MacDrive on the Windows install or format the drive as FAT.
    Otherwise, since this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Parallels or Boot Camp you should really consider posting your question on the Parallels and Boot Camp forums:

  • HP Stream 7 with Windows 8.1 - something jams wifi

    Ok, I saw the other post about sleep mode and Windows 8.1 knocking all devices offline, and I'm having similar problem, but not sure it's related to sleep mode.
    I had setup my Stream 7, and hadn't updated the BIOS, so I got it working, playing with it a day or so, then updated the BIOS to F.0C(?)  (for whatever reason, I can't now get back to the list of drivers, etc. on HP's page.  Loads and gives me a blank page - what's up with that?).
    Anyway, IMMEDIATELY after the BIOS update and a reboot - would NOT connect to wifi.  Rebooted a couple more times, and then found that other devices - including wired devices - could no longer connect to the internet.  Power on reset of the router fixed the problem.   I have an ASUS RT-N66U with Merlin's firmware (straight copy of source from ASUS, and he adds other Linux features like making the router a VPN endpoint, etc.)  Fairly late version too (about 3 weeks old).  Very similar to DD-WRT.
    After a router reboot, the Stream 7 could connect, as well as other devices, have not had an issue since.  
    It's all well and good to say that it shouldn't happen to the router - and I agree - but to have a device do this is tantamount to sin.  What happens if I go to a friend's house, or a business and jam up their router?  This needs to be dealt with and fixed.  Not sure it's a Windows problem - probably much more a driver problem.

    Oh - might add, I'm taking it down to 802.11 b/g, instead of b/g/n, based on the other post.
    I'm going to say there's something wrong with the "n" side, especially since it seems (after some reading), that it's really only "n" on the 2.4Ghz side.  Most devices these days are "expected" to be on the 5Ghz to support the faster speeds.  So I'm going to say that I suspect there's something at odds there in that type of config attempting to use "n" with this device.

  • Streaming music with Windows 7

    I have windows 7 and I have just received an airport express for Christmas.  All I want to do with it is stream music from my computer to my stereo.  How do I do this?  The instructions provided with the unit were inadequate.

    Streaming using AirPlay requires, as a minimum, the following three things:
    An iTunes server. This typically is the iTunes application. There are versions of iTunes for Windows-based PCs.
    An AirPlay "speaker." This could be an AirPort Express, Apple TV, or an AirPlay-ready device.
    A wired or wireless network.
    In your case you would need to install iTunes on your PC, if you don't already have it. You would also need to use the appropriate audio cable between the audio port on the Express and your stereo.

  • Multicast stream problem with windows media service

    Hi,
    I'm on a simple LAN composed by cisco 3560G and 3750G switches. On one of my switches, i've connected a windows media server that stream tv in unicast and multicast mode.
    When i run the http://myserver/mystream.nsc generated by the server on the current server, it's working, i can see my stream. The problem is in the stations, i'm unable to see it.
    I've activated IGMP Snooping on each switchs.
    Here is the log of debug ip igmp snooping on the switch where the server is connected :

    As WMP is not a DVD player, my suggestion would be to tell your clients to never use WMP.All our DVD discs go out with a warning not to allow WMP to be used.
    In most computer setups, WMP does not play back video correctly as it does not have an MPEG codec installed, or has navigational problems.
    All computers that have a DVD drive fitted, will have a dedicated DVD software player installed, such as Win DVD or Power DVD, so why not use that?

  • HP Stream 7 with Windows 8.1 - "Start Menu (Metro)" mode - closing apps problems

    Ok, this is probably more of a Windows 8.1 issue, but I've noticed two things about closing apps (swipe down from top of screen):
    1.  If the app is "wider" than the display, and you scroll to the right, you CANNOT close the app unless you scroll all the way back left.
    2.  Any app that has any controls anywhere near any area of the top of the screen is extremely difficult to get it to start closing.  I have tried as many as 10-15 times for some apps to close them.  And anytime you get near those "controls" at the top - you can see you are affecting them as you slide your finger down - NOT the app.
    3.  When I have a BT mouse connected, I've noticed that putting the mouse towards the top of the screen will "pop" up something akin to the old Windows title bar, with a close button in the upper right (and a brief menu in the upper left).  This works great - but doesn't seem to work with a finger or stylus - only the mouse.  Is there a setting to change that to make it easier to close apps?
    Suggestions?

    Oh - might add, I'm taking it down to 802.11 b/g, instead of b/g/n, based on the other post.
    I'm going to say there's something wrong with the "n" side, especially since it seems (after some reading), that it's really only "n" on the 2.4Ghz side.  Most devices these days are "expected" to be on the 5Ghz to support the faster speeds.  So I'm going to say that I suspect there's something at odds there in that type of config attempting to use "n" with this device.

  • How to convert an ipod with Windows software installed to Mac operation

    I have a 20MB ipod which has windows software on it. It is very hard to load songs onto as I can only see the ICON on the desktop and not in itunes and this way they don't seem to properly mount! I have a 12" ibook that I connect it to. I can't seem to follow how one is supposed to wipe the Windows OS (or whatever) off the ipod and install the Mac one ?!?!? Am I trying to do the impossible? A step-by-step answer would be soooooo appreciated.
    12" ibook   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Information on the iPod not appearing in iTunes is available in this article. To reformat the iPod for Mac, open a new Finder window and click the Applications icon in the sidebar; from here, open Utilities and then iPod Software Updater. Locate the most recent version of the iPod updater inside, open it, and click the Restore button with the iPod connected. Doing this will change the iPod into the Mac format and erase everything currently on it.

  • A few problems with windows 7 on my mac with boot camp

    1) how do i use all the functions of my mac in the windows os environment? like two finger scrolling, isight, two finger right click, and my speakers?
    2) when i boot up windows the time is totally wrong is there any way i can keep this from happening everytime i start windows?
    ive read that i should install the drivers that are on the OS X disk but when i put that in it just spits it back out without recognizing it, also i cant right click so keep that in mind.

    To right-click, just use two fingers instead of one.  I'd like to know how to do two-finger scrolling, too.

  • Dilemma with Windows software on a Mac

    Here is my situation...I am a part-time student taking an online class this summer. The class I am taking requires the use of a CD, but is not Mac compatible. I have heard something about a program that can be installed on Mac for this sort of thing. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
    Jace K.

    My brother has mentioned to me about the Virtual PC
    program, which I may end up investing in. My only
    concern is, what if it doesn't work. I need something
    that will actually let me "install" this CD-ROM
    program onto the computer in order for me to be able
    to use it. Would that be possible with either of the
    programs you mentioned?
    Yes.
    Though I would check the system requirements of Virtual PC.
    To use Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac Version 7, users need the following:
    System Requirements
    Hardware: A 700 MHz native* PowerPC G3, G4 or G5 processor
    Operating system: Mac OS X Version 10.2.8; Mac OS X Version 10.3; Mac OS X Version 10.4.1 or later.
    Free Hard Disk Space: 3 GB
    RAM: 512 MB
    Display: 1024 x 768 resolution monitor displaying thousands of colors
    Storage: CD-ROM drive (or connection to a local area network if installing a network)
    Peripherals: Mouse or compatible pointing device
    You will need 512MB of RAM minimum.
    Does the CD-ROM have video or similar, as this is liable not work on an iBook running VIrtual PC as Virtual PC is too slow.
