2 network cards in Windows 8.1 but can't set the correct one to Private

Hi, I already asked this question in the community forum but was re-directed here as you guys know more about multiple network cards in Windows 8.
I'm using Windows 8.1 with 2 network cards. One for my internal LAN (will call this my secure LAN which has a static IP) and one for connection to the internet (Internet LAN which is DHCP). Both networks are totally physically seperate. This is for a combination
of speed and security purposes (lot of internet traffic on the internet LAN and I want that card locked down to prevent file sharing on it)
By default, both of the cards have their network properties set to public. To date I have not found any way to set the secure LAN card to private and the Internet card to public. If I enable file sharing in the private bit of "advanced settings" and
go to the Metro settings (whatever the fancy name is) under PC Settings/Network/Connections, there is only a generic "network" icon shown (rather than 2 netowrk icons, one for each card). When clicked, this correlates to the network card connected
to the internet. I can make this card public or private by changing the "Find devices and Content" switch on or off but this does not impact the card connected to the secure LAN. I tried disabling the Internet card and re running the setup (which
this time configured the secure LAN card) which I think did allow me to change it to private but as soon as the internet LAN card was re-enabled it reverted to that one being private and my secure LAN to public.
so - The config I am left with is the wrong way round (ie the internet card set to private and my private LAN card set to public!)
Similarly, I tried using regedit. In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles\ <Profile ID> I can change the REG_DWORD to 1 or 0 but this only impacts the private / public settings of the card connected to the
internet.
I am guessing that Windows is kind of combining these 2 cards into 1 network profile and there is some priority thing going on that it gives priority to the card connected to the internet in terms of config?
Anyone got any ideas on how to force one card to private and the other to public?
Thanks Guys.
Al.

This is caused by the default security policy which blocks file sharing with unidentified networks by making them public. (How it determines unidentified networks is another interesting question). To allow file sharing, you have to change the local
security policy to allow unidentified networks to be private.

Time machine chose wrong version to back up but can't find the correct one now!

In a nutshell
- Imac HD crashed and we replaced it.
- data backed up on ™ but 2 versions one for iMac and one for a Macbook we have
- did restore of data to new HD but no option to pick which one was restored and it did the Macbook version
- most important issue is the iMac version no longer visible on ™ and it seems to have created a new version of Macbook data
- it's the iMac data we need and can't "see" on ™
Any ideas?

How can I change my old Apple ID? I have a new one created but can't deleted the old one it's gray and u can't tap on it?

I'm able to use the new one even tho the old one is there? But can't delete the old one because it's frayed out n can't tap on it to change it to the new one

You will need to use that old Apple ID and password to update any apps you purchased using that account. So you will either need to recover that Apple ID, which if you forgot the password you should be able to reset here:

or you will need to delete all those apps and repurchase them using your current Apple ID.

I need to de-authorize my old computer - had to buy a new one today because the old one got wet...I can't see the old screen - but can't use the new one until I can deauthorize the old one...is this a catch 22?

How do I de-authrorize an old computer? I can't access it because it got wet...I can't activate the new one until I deauthroize the old one...seems like a chicken and egg thing...?

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

Open Mail preferences, click on the Accounts icon in the toolbar then select your mail account, click on the Mailbox Behaviours tab on the right. Set the dropdown menu at the bottom for the Never option.
However, you cannot change the default options set for a newly created account.

I want to update my applications I keep on entering the password and it keeps asking me about it and again I enter it and nothing happens although it is correct I can download new apps but can't update the old ones

Then you will need the password for the old account in order to update the app.
apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase the app.

I have downloaded trial for Windows English version, but can't open the Captivate_8_LS21.7z file. I have 32-bit. Will this work or shoudl I redownload?

I have downloaded trial for Windows English version 1.45GB.
It has downloaded but I can't open the Captivate_8_LS21.7z file.
I have 32-bit. Will this work ?

Hi There,
In order to download / install Captivate 8 32 bit, you have to download 2 files ( .7z and .exe ) at same location/ folder.
Once both files downloaded completely then you have to run .exe file and it will extract .7z file first and then it will initialize the installer. You do not have to open .7z file.
Let me provide you the download links of Captivate 8 32 bit :-
Open the link mention below in any Web Browser say Internet Explorer
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=captivate
Sign in with your Adobe id and Password, then you will be redirected to download Web Page of Captivate 8.
Do not click on Download. Kindly let that window open as it is.
Now Copy and paste the link mention below in the new tab/window of the same Web Browser in which you have opened the above link.
http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/8/win32/Captivate_8_LS21.7z
Then Save the file.
Do the same for the link mention below and save this .exe file as well.
http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/8/win32/Captivate_8_LS21.exe
Make sure both the files (.7z and .exe) save/download at the same location/folder.
NOTE: Wait for both the files to finish download and then run the .exe file.
Once you run the .exe, it will start extracting the .7z file and will provide Captivate 8 folder on your desktop which will contain setup.exe. Run this setup.exe to install Captivate 8.

A screen appears to enter a user and pass word.
There are both supposed to be "router"
Defaults want to enter ROUter as user name and pass word and I cAN NOT OVER RIDE THEM. HELP

Yes, but the method is to simply connect the TC to the computer by ethernet and use it on a separate network. That is the best way to do it.. but you can also do the same thing better and easier with an external hard disk plugged in. For a desktop computer this is a better solution in a way. You will only be using the TC for Time Machine backups anyway.
If you want to continue to use the TC.. then the actual network settings I put in this thread with a whole series of pictures.

If you cannot follow any of that just ask.

Can't set the correct key when converting imported audio to GB loops

Hi,
I feel I am really out of options for this one. I am trying to convert a couple of mp3 files to useful GarageBand loops. This is what I tried first:
1) drag the mp3 file on the timeline.
2) using a steady 4-beat, match the BPM settings to that it fits the tempo of the imported file
3) check the key of the imported file with a software instrument, and switch the project's key accordingly
4) Edit -> Add to Loop Library
Using this method, the produced loops show up in the Loops Browser correctly, but they play back in the wrong key. Example: I created a loop from a mp3 file that was originally played in A. I tagged it as being in the "A" key by creating a loop from it, with the project key set to "A".
When it then shows up in the Loop Browser, and I would select this loop with my Garageband project (still) set to "A" - I would expect to hear the loop being played in its original key.
It doesn't. It plays about four or five semitones too high (the difference between A and C, or C and E)
I haven't been able yet to figure out why this is so, or if there is any pattern in how much the key is off.
Then I searched far & wide, and found the Apple Loop Utility and a couple of articles on bulletsandbones.com. I also checked the midi import settings, though I doubt whether they have any influence here. They were set at 44.1 KHz.
This is what I tried then:
1) use bulletsandbones.com's never-fail conversion to AIF format (44.1 KHz sample rate, 16 bit)
2) use the Apple Loop Utility to "tag" the AIF file, setting it so that it shows up in the right category of the loop browser, etc.
3) also, use this utility to tag it with the key that the loop is played in
4) copy the AIF file into the Loop Library directory
5) start Garageband, and refresh / re-index the Loop Library so that the new loop is added and properly indexed
This made no difference. Or maybe it did, but the loops thus produced STILL do not play back in the key that I tagged them in (if I set the project accordingly, of course). It's completely mystifying.
I can omit a key indicator in the Apple Loop Utility, and only then does the loop play back as it should. But then it does not change with the project's key settings anymore.
Even more strange: even a loop that I tagged (in the "A" key) and saved with the Apple Loop Utility, plays back too high in that same Apple Loop Utility when I re-open it. It does play back correctly in Finder's Fast Preview.
I could not find any mention of this problem elsewhere. Does anyone have a suggestion what might cause this?

I think this is the culprit:
3) check the key of the imported file with a software instrument, and switch the project's key accordingly
If the "follow tempo & pitch" box is checked, this might change the sample's pitch and throw GB off.
Try to determine the sample's key before you import it, set the GB project's key accordingly, and then import the sample. That should assign it the correct key!

I installed bootcamp 4.0 4033, installed window 32 bit but can't install the drivers for some reason i keep getting error message. i have a macbook pro mid 2011 version. Please help

I installed bootcamp 4.0 4033 so that I can install windows 7 32 bit on my mac. Everything works fine until I try to install the drivers and I get an error message stating the version of windows does not work with the drivers I am trying to install. I have a feeling somehow I am downloading 64 bit drivers when I need 32 bit. I spoke to Apple and they said I can't use 32 bit windows.. but that is not what the support site says (it says I can as long as I use bootcamp 4, not 5). Also, my bootcamp assistant is version 5.. I have no idea if that matters. Help please.. been searching online for hours.

What model/year is your Macbook Pro? What operating system version?

I loaded 3 email accounts into my new ipad2 but can only read the 1st one.

And...I can't find All Mail...how come?

I found out the reason on my own.The reason why I couldn't read the other two email accounts was because my ram memory was over loaded. To shut off unused apps. Double tap the home button. See the apps on the bottom of the screen. Hit the little red minus signs in the icons to remove these apps from ram. After removing all of them, the mail started working right. These ipads only have a half a gig of ram...which isn't much.

I tried to add the printer to my new Macbook, which is connecte to the network, but can't find the printer on the add printer and scan icon on preferences. I downloaded a installation printer utility from the Manufacturer (lexmark), but it didn't work. Any sugestions?
Thanks,

You would need to get the IP address of your printer then manually add a network print queue.
To get the IP address, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IP > View/Set IP address.
