I currently have windows 8 on my dell, upgraded from windows 7. I know I can migrate it from my dell to the mac on parallels but does anyone know if once I copy windows over to it will I need to enter an activation key again or will it just work as it does on my dell and already be activated?
Windows will probably notice that the hardware has changed, so there is a fair chance that it need to be re-activated. Or you might get lucky. I migrated from a ThinkPad and didn't seem to have much trouble. Be sure to review all Windows 8 tech notes at Parallels before attempting to run Windows 8 under Parallels, although they might have upgraded Parallels now. (I'm still running W7 in Parallels occasionally)

Also if windows is on a mac, if I have a file saved on a mac, Can I open it in windows straight from my mac or will I have to copy the file over to windows and then open it. If I could open it from my mac and I saved it on windows, would it ask me to save a new copy on windows therefore having to copy it back to my mac from windows?
It depends on where you store it and how you open it. Parallels allows you to make a Mac folder visible on Windows. If you store a Word file in that normal Mac folder and you decide to let Parallels see that folder, you can open it on Windows and save it back to the same location with no extra work.
You can also drag files between a Mac folder and a folder in Windows in Parallels, but of course after you edit it on Windows you have to manually drag it back over to the Mac folder to transfer the changes. I usually use drag-and-drop for one-way file moves, but if files need to be seen on both sides I use Parallels to make the Mac folder visible in Windows.

    Nobody can answer that question with any certainty because we don't know your computing needs and what specific apps you're going to isntall.
    Regardless, this forum is for the troubleshooting the installation of OS X, not Boot Camp, and you'll probably want to post your question over in the Boot Camp forums:

    I have already bought a macbook pro in USA and I want to use it in Europe. What adapter I need for my Airport Extreme?

    No power adaptor is needed as the power units are auto-switching. But you will need wall outlet adaptors such as you will find in Apple's World Travel Kit, at AAA stores, and other vendors.

  • Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting.  Went to Mexico and now can't get the texting to work at all on ipad.  Thanls

    Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting.  I went to Mexico and when I returned the texting does not work on my ipad.  The support at Apple wanted to charge me to get info.
    THanks

    Can't address the problem directly, cause even though my iPad4 is Cell+Wi-Fi, I've never put a SIM in it and never had the need to text, SMS or iMessage, from it. When away from the office or home wireless network, I tether it off the iPhone. Skype, both text and video, work just fine thru the Wi-Fi link, though.
    HOWEVER, when I was hashing out the contract details to get the iPhone 5 about 14 months ago at Telcel, the representative distinctly mentioned that both Visual Voicemail as well as iMessages would be included in the package and they would be mandatory cause "I was getting a (subsidized) Apple iPhone" on a 24 month leash. Then when the gizmo came out of its box for SIM installation and activation, she went thru the motions of making sure both were working properly.  So I assume the carrier has some say in the matter.

  • What Equipment is Needed for CCNP Security Lab

    Hello,
    Im Looking to find out what Devices are needed for a ccnp security home lab. I keep hearing that 2 5510's are a must for labbing. The downside Is the Prices avg $800 each on the low end. I also saw some ppl had an ips in their lab. Im looking to find out what is 100% needed. I alredy have a lab in place used for my ccnp r&s.
    Thanks                  

    I would also say that two ASAs is a must to practice with them. But in my opinion, 2 5505 SecPlus are enough. What are the differences to the 5510? You configure subinterfaces instead of vlan-interfaces. But that's something you know from R/S. And the failover is only stateless, but failover in general also works. Sof if you find these ASAs for less money, take them. IPS is probably the topic where most CCNP Security students are least familar with. So owning a sensor would also help.
    And don't forget that the bigger CCIE-Training vendors have complete labs for rent with all you need for CCNP Sec preparation. That could also save some money.
    Don't stop after you've improved your network! Improve the world by lending money to the working poor:

  • What all is needed for this type of Flash Design Studio

    What all is needed for this type of Flash Design Studio.
    There are a couple of sites out there that use both flash and

    some help getting pointed in the right direction. here are some
    examples:

    Rclarkhaddock,
    > What all is needed for this type of Flash Design Studio.
    There
    > are a couple of sites out there that use both flash and

    Of the examples you showed, I saw Flash (Adobe Flash),
    Shockwave (Adobe
    Director), and JavaScript, but never a combination on the
    same site. (It
    might make sense to combine Flash with JavaScript or
    Shockwave with
    JavaScript, but not really to combine Flash with Shockwave.)
    > I am looking ot get somethign like this started and need

    > getting pointed in the right direction.
    Any of the above technologies will do it. You could also use
    a Java
    applet or even a .NET solution of some kind, so the choice
    you take will
    depend largely on what platform you want to support and code
    for. This sort
    of project will require significant amounts of custom
    programming. My
    personal approach would be to use Flash, mainly because of
    the popularity of
    the plugin. The Shockwave example looks beautiful, and I
    started out years
    ago using Director, but fewer people nowadays have the
    Shockwave plugin
    installed. It doesn't look like any of the sites shown use 3D
    modeling,
    which is the only relevant feature that Shockwave has over
    the other
    approaches. JavaScript (probably some Ajax approach) would
    work -- as
    seen -- but then you're dealing with compatibility issues
    among various
    JavaScript implementations in the great variety of browsers
    out there.
    Flash minimizes that, in my opinion.
    All you really "need" to produce what you've seen is Flash
    and some sort
    of database back end (MySQL, say), which means you'll need a
    bit of
    middleware (PHP, ASP, Cold Fusion, etc.) to act as your
    ambassador between
    Flash and the database.

  • What permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)

    what permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)
    frequently reach the situation, when vendor restores a database, but he cannot access it unless I remap or add his login to the restored database. What permssion can grant the vendor so that he can but only can access the database he restored, not all other
    databases.

    Hi George,
    According to your description, When you move a database from one server that is running SQL Server to another server that is running SQL Server, a mismatch may occur between the security identification numbers (SIDs) of the logins in the master database
    and the users in the user database. As other post, you can use the sp_change_users_login stored procedure to map SQL Server logins. Also , you can use the following statement after doing the restore database. It will
     fix the mis-mapped SID inside the restored DB.
    ALTER USER <username> WITH LOGIN = <username>
    For more information, you can review the following article.

    You can order them from Toshiba, of course.

  • What patches are needed for OCS R1 singlebox Windows installation

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to install OCS R1 on Windows 2000 server and I wanted to know if I need any patch to perform the installation.
    I'm following the Note 221812.1 and according to it I have created email accounts as mailadmin (System Administrator) and now I should apply the patch 2606325, but I don't know if this is required for Windows. It probably is, because I skip this step and test the mail system by sending mails between the accounts already created and I get a message which says that: an error has occurred at attempting to send the message.
    I don't know if this is due to the fact that I haven't applied the patch or due to something else...
    I would appreciate any help.
    Best regards,
    Jorge

    I tried to check out that note of yours, i think it no longer exists, the same goes for the patch number.
    Anyway from my linux install as far as the installation goes, there was no need for patches ocs installs without them. However if you want to use something like workflow for files, then you need a few patches.
    Firstly you need to patch which is applied after your workflow installation - i cannot rememeber its number, but you should find it in eithr the files admin guide or files release notes for 9.0.3.
    In addition to that, when you install workflow, you also need to add a few languages, which if you do not with result in your workflow/files integration failing.
