When I try to install WinXP using bootcamp, the iMac will not recognize the CD after it has already read all the information and is ready to begin installation. What is the problem?

If your on 10.6.8 like you should be for security/stability updates, somewhere along the line a later Bootcamp version was issued and only supports Win 7.

  • When I try to log on to Facebook, My iPad will not recognize my password, and I get an error code 190. What is it and why do I get it?

    When I try to log onto Facebook, my iPad will not recognize my password, and I get an error code 190, but I can log on on my HP desktop. What is code 190, and why do I get it?

    I was using the FB app that came with the iPad. What I eventually did was.
    1. Held down both home key and on-off button until iPad shut down, then rebooted.
    2. Uninstalled FB app.
    3. Went to App Store and re-installed FB app.
    The iPad had numerous problems. My son saw my plea on FB as I was accessing it through my HP computer, and he walked me through it. While he was at it, he taught me how to disconnect auto-correct. I am not certain that I want to keep that off, but everything is working the way it is supposed to  the way it was in the beginning. 
    I am curious, though, as to what ears to the problem in the first place. After checking various sites, it seems that a code 190 has to do with windows not Apple.
    But thank you for the response.

  • I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

    I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. How can I get this to work when my internet is connected?

    Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts?  If so:
    1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
    2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane.  This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

  • I am using an epson projector to present images downloaded to a thumb drive. I renames the images on export to "untitled 101, 102 etc. The projector will not recognize the sequence. It wants 001, 002etc. If I try to start 001 lightroom changes it to 1, 2

    I am using an epson projector to present images downloaded to a thumb drive. I rename the images on export to "untitled 101, 102 etc. The projector will not recognize the sequence. It wants 001, 002etc. If I try to start 001 lightroom changes it to 1, 2  ... 10,11 etc. How can I export and rename starting with 001?

    The projector may actually be processing a 3 digit number in numerical sequence.  Have you tried your export/collection in order  sequence starting with 101?  Assuming you have fewer than 899 images you should be OK. (I had to fiddle with export sequence for a display frame which used the file date and time for sequence!)

  • My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

    My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
    Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

  • When I connect video projector via mini VGA to MacBook Air, the projector will not recognize the computer.

    I have no problem projecting PPT but when I try to project a video in whatever format, the projector does not recognize the computer.  Suggestions?

    Sorry I'm no help. I'm just here to say that I'm having the same issue and add a bit of info. I've always projected DVDs, with no problem, until I upgraded to OS X Mavericks. I'm teaching in the same room this semester, and now as soon as I plug in the VGA cord the DVD shuts down and I get a message saying "disc not supported." (The DVDs play fine on my computer--the problem arises when I plug in the cord.) Like you, I have no problem projecting my PowerPoints or images from the web. It's just the DVDs. Anyone? Help!

  • How can I install winxp to bootcamp on imac with bad optical drive?

    I have a mid-2007 20" aluminum Intel-based iMac and I'm having trouble getting a clean install of MacOS10.5.8 and Win XP (through Bootcamp) on a new drive.
    The problem stems from the fact that I have no internal optical drive.  My Superdrive began acting up a while ago (couldn't recognize, read from, or write to DVD). I replaced the drive, but the problem persisted.  Calling Apple Support, they determined (guessed?) the problem was the logic board, and, as the machine is out of warranty, isn't worth replacing.  No big deal - I've been using an external USB optical drive when needed. 
    However, my hard drive is beginning to experience issues (SMART Failure), and I want to reinstall everything MacOS, Bootcamp/Win XP on a clean new drive.  The problem is that I cant resinstall Win XP to Bootcamp without an internal drive (which seems unlikely to ever work).  I've tried creating a bootable USB key with the XP installation files going through the Bootcamp installation process using the WintoFlash/rEFIt method, but to no avail (won't recognize boot from USB).
    Is it possible to remove the internal hard drive, boot from MacOS (10.5.8) on an external drive, and connect the optical drive to the sATA port where the internal drive was?  Or is there a second sATA port on these logic boards?  Or can I somehow connect the USB optical drive in a way that the iMAC thinks it's internal?  I'm not afraid of digging into the iMAC (changed HDD and Superdrive already).
    Is there anyway to test the pATA connection on my logic board to find out if it's really the problem?  If it's not, maybe I can install WinXP on a second Windows formated drive, to take the space of the internal Superdrive.
    There must be some good ideas out there somewhere.  Barring that, my only other option is to use Parallels and take the performance hit that comes with running a virtual machine.  UGH!

    Actually, when I followed that link, one of the related links in More Like This was a real find!  An actual download of Aperture, albeit a trial, but that would have solved my problem too.  I tested it and although it's embeded in a support article, the link to the trial version of Aperture still works.
    Thanks!  Great info here if you can find it.

  • I got the newest iPod touch and it has a message cube thing like on an iPhone and when I try to send messages to my friends it will not let me. I thought it would need wifi so I tried it with that and it still doesn't work. Will someone please help me?

    I got the newest iPod and it has a messaging cube like on the iPhone and it will not let me send messages to my friends even with wifi. Please help me with my problem.

    Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
    Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
    Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
    Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.
