8.1 Update 1 - Can't set up a default Virtual Machine.

Am trying to set-up a virtual machine on 64bit Surface Pro 2 system using Hyper-V Manager but after clicking Finish to create a default VM the New
VM Wizard displays a window stating:
The Virtual Machine Management service encountered an error while configuring the hard disk on virtual machine New Virtual Machine.
Failed to create the virtual hard disk.
The system failed to create
C:\users\public\documents\\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Discs\New Virtual Machine.vhdx
Originally, before setting the machine back to factory settings, I had got past this point creating a WindowsXP VM but was unable to edit the default VM
so decided to go back to factory settings. Whilst applying 8.1 updates I found I had now got 8.1 Update 1 - then moving on to setting up VM I got the above error.
Having almost zero Windows experience beyond XP some advice would be greatly appreciated.
I see two options, one to go back to a USB system image 8.1 upgrade 1 or
revert to 8.1 recovery factory image

Hi Elton Ji,
Went back to factory reset, set updates to be downloaded but not installed, setup a default VM after which there was a message stating a firmware update was needed and also 45 Windows Updates.
I expected to get the usual
screen listing the updates waiting installation so they could be selected by reference to the list from the URL from Shawn "Cmdr" Keene [MVP]
Unfortunately no list appeared! The firmware update & all 45 updates were all immediately installed. Having compared the sequence of the updates installed with the recommended 5 listed - only KB2919442 was listed as installed at 8th in the sequence.
With my earlier setup being 8.1 Update1
where had 2919355, 2932046, 2937592 & 2938439 gone? At that stage no more updates were waiting download.
Thought I would set everything back using System Restore - there being only one restore point showing - but after restoring back there was no comment in the historical Update Sequence that anything had been set back.
So I need to establish how to manage the update sequence. Did the firmware update fail to hand back to the manual installation - if indeed there is an
list for update selection.
Meantime I'm going back to factory reset - hopefully for the last time - and haltat
the firmware update point.
Will ask about controlling update sequence with Shawn "Cmdr" Keene [MVP]

How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?

How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?i dont want a custom one with my voice i want the pre-recorded where a lady says my number . how do i get that?

Voicemail is a cell phone carrier function. Contact your carrier to see if they have this option. If not, i'm sure you can download a sound file from the internet with a greeting and add your name. Then play it back on you PC while holding your iPhone near the speaker when recording the greeting to voicemail.

That's actually how Guest Access feature works. You can share internet to your guest/visitors without giving them access to your local network. You may configure the Guest Access settings on the router using Linksys Smart Wifi through the local access interface; check this site for the instructions, http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=b509a1805dd6416ebb0e35a7e5a58937_Configuring_Guest...

Is it possible to have a dual boot system with Windows that can ALSO be booted into a virtual machine optionally?

I have been looking for a solution to this for some time now. I want the convenience of a virtual Windows environment that can run simultaneously with OS X Lion--something I have right now using Virtualbox. But at the same time, there are graphics and processor-intensive Windows applications (for me, games and engineering applications) that don't run well at all in a virtual machine. So, here is what I am looking for:
A dual boot (i.e. bootcamp) system running Windows 7 and OS X Lion in which the Windows 7 machine can EITHER be booted as a virtual machine while running OS X OR booted physically so as to utitlize all system resources. The real trick however, is that I I want the virtual machine and the physical machine to be the exact same system. Meaning, if I boot physically into Windows and change something... rename a file, run a program and create a file, etc... those changes will all appear in the virtual machine.
Now, what are my options? I have read about Virtualbox and VMWare Fusion's "Raw Disk access" function but I can't tell if that's what I'm looking for or not... I half-thought that they were talking about converting a physical OS into a virtual machine, but without the intention of booting the physical OS again...
Also, I'm open to any software, free or otherwise. Thanks!

both VMWare Fusion & Parallels Desktop for Mac can use a bootcamp Windows installation as VM exactly like you want.

How Can I Set Photoshop to Default Open the Most Recent Folder

Lately, Photoshop CC always opens a default folder-which is several clicks away from the folder I am using. How do I set it to default to the most recent open folder when I click "OPEN" ?

They would seem to be, but it's possible that they were released separately in the iTunes Store. Some apps are different but named the same (Angry Birds being a case in point). Not having any of those apps I can't say with any certainty. It's definitely not normal for iTunes to keep older versions.
If you're still on Mac OS X 10.5.6 as your profile indicates, update to 10.5.8 and the latest version of iTunes and see if that makes any difference.
Regards.

Can't set Firefox as default browser even after following steps in Firefox support

Can't set Firefox as my default browser even after following the steps outlined in Firefox support. Operating Firefox on Snow Leopard with Windows 7 running under Parallels. Clicking on links in emails, etc. always opens IE 8 in Windows instead of Firefox on the Mac
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About a week ago

I had the same problem, I just forgot how to fix it. I did it once a while ago but just recently the problem had returned. The first link in vineelreddyp's post solved the problem for me.
Just as an FYI for people, when OSX does software updates it includes Safari updates. When it completes a Safari update it resets all the Safari settings (they recently upgraded to Safari 5.0), including default browser.
So anyway, FYI about that. ;-)

How can I set up a share virtual printer on my macbook to print to pdf from my iPhone 5 or iPad?

I've never had the occassion to use a virtual printer setup but I've seen where other people have when they need to print to pdf and have no printer available where they are. So, my question is really a spin off of that type of situation, except I have a printer, I just don't want to print. I want to save from my iPad or iPhone to my MacBook's hard drive in pdf format. From what I've seen online, I would imagine it involves setting up a virtual printer on the MacBook that I can set up as a shared printer, but there are so many conflicting responses on setting up a virtual printer and most of them are for older. Does anyone have any experience with setting up a similar virtual printer in Maverick?
For completeness, I'll add system info:
MackBook 5.2 Core 2 Duo 2 GHz upgraded with 4 GB DDR2 RAM and Maverick OS
Obviously the virtual printer needs to support iPrint.

How can I set a permanent default language for Firefox's spellcheck feature, so that I don't have to keep manually selecting the spellcheck language I want?

I have a few languages installed, and Firefox's spellcheck seems to decide which language to use ''at random''. So I have to keep manually selecting the language I want. 99% of the time I want English. So how can I set English as a permanent default language, and leave the manual selection for those infrequent occasions when I want another language spellchecked?

Firefox should store the last used dictionary in the spellchecker.dictionary pref that you can check on the about:config page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Firefox and default site - when I open firefox google comes up fine - but any other sibsequesnt page I have to type in google can I set up a default page for every page that I open up in a window

Hello
When I open Firefox, google comes up as my default page. This is fine but if I open additional windows next to the default page nothing comes up.
Can you set google or any other page to be the default page in any window I open. It is annoying to have to keep on typing google in every time I want to open a new page with firefox

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

Can't set printer as default. Error code 0x0000709

HP3510 Deskjet printer instaled on Hp laptop running windows 7. Cannot set printer as default. Error code 0x0000709. Removed old computer and software
This question was solved.
View Solution.

tgwright,
Thank you for the additional info. With the print and scan doctor not locating any corrupted software/driver problems its time to look to the operating system itself. Others who have had similar issues with the same error indicate a corrupted registry key causing the problem:
http://goo.gl/t94JG
http://goo.gl/uejgi
Beware these solutions indicate changing registry info (very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing). If you are not comfortable in the registry or have never been there before I would suggest seeking additional support in some fashion (Microsoft/Local IT/PC Repair service/etc).
Best of Luck!

Can't set Windows as Default Start-up System

Hi all! I was trying to install Linux on my Mac, so I downloaded a program called rEFIt to be able to do so. It didn't work so I uninstalled it. I always use Windows as my default Start-up system. But now I can't. If I use Mac OS X then next time I reboot, the computer will go back to Mac OS X and not to Windows. So everytime I use Mac OS X. I have to change the startup disk settings because it won't remember. I tried repairing the disk, reseting the EFI but nothing works.
How can I fix this?
Thanks!

Maybe you should try another forum, we do not support Waterfox.
See this post I made recently, in answer to a similar question. It includes suggestions and links to suitable fora.
