Activating Windows 7 & 8.1 when they are virtualized?

Hi Everyone
I'm looking at creating to VMs on an ESXi host in my home lab in order to reduce the amount of machines I have lying around. The only reason I am hesitant is because I need to buy individual windows licences which may require me to re-activate them if I
change the virtual hardware (add another disk, add more memory or another 2 cores etc).
Is this something that I need to worry about? Or will windows accept those hardware changes?

There are no issues in activation even when hardware is changed, RAM or processor etc

This is a problem of overall design. It is not a scripting issue.
NET USE wil only delete the drive you tell it to delete. You will need to know in advance which drive that is. There is no magic in WIndows. YOu must tel it everything.
Bill suggests GPP which is very easy to use and very flexible. It avoids learning how to write scripts and understand much of Windows. Just set the values and they do allof this for you. There are checkboxes for most issues.
Most of us have not mapped drives since shortly after the release of Vista many years ago. Save your self a lot of headaches and use the tools that were built to do this/
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My ipod classic will not sync all of my games. Says it cant find them when they are there

My ipod recently stopped syncing all of my games. The message says that itunes cant find them when they are where they always were. Can anyone help me with this issue? I have tried uninstalling everything and then reinstalling and nothing works. Three of my fourteen games will not sync, and they are the ones that I play the most.

Hello bardwell,
Try rebooting your computer to see if that makes a difference. Otherwise, use the Get Info window for these games to determine where they should be located on your PC. Then navigate out to that location to see if they are actually still there.

Windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac

We are having some problems with windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac computers.
We have a number of Mac labs that users can logon to using their AD login credentials. Their network shares are saved on a windows file server. The ad plug has been configured on each client Mac as has the LDAP plug-in. It is configured to connect to the Xserve which is running as an OD master. The system preferences for the client Macs are being managed from the Xserve.
The problem for the users is that they can log into the Mac no problem and they can see their network share appearing on the desktop and in the dock, but for some reason on random Macs and with random users the network share disappears. If they log off and log back in again the network share is still missing. As it happens randomly I can not put my finger on what the problem is.
Most labs either have Intel iMacs running 10.4.11 or Intel iMacs running 10.5.5
Any help will be appreciated

Mike,
We need to know some basic scoping information to provide any further input.
1)
Is the user prompted that the server will be shutting down?
2)
Does Task Scheduler show that the task ran at the scheduled time?
3)
Are there any errors in %windir%\tasks\schedlgu.txt?
4)
Does the problem still occur if the machine is in its own OU with blocked inheritance?
Does the problem still occur in a clean boot configuration with MSConfig
Steps to clean boot machine:
================
Start > Run > Msconfig > Select Services > click "check box", "Hide all microsoft services" > Disable all
Start > Run > Msconfig > Select startup> Disable all
Reboot
Thanks,
ankit

HT4413 What about secondary disks - where do they go when they are restored by Time Machine?

What about secondary disks - where do they go when they are restored by Time Machine?

I see the "Remove now" button next to that checkbox--exactly
what messages does that button remove? The current message?
All messages? Just the ones that don't have a blue dot next to them?
The Remove Now button removes ALL messages available at the incoming mail server for the account.
To remove an individual message from the server, select the button at the bottom of the mailboxes drawer which has a gear icon.
At the bottom of the menu window that appear, select Get Info.
Select the POP via the Account selection - the account will be already selected if you are accessing a single account with the Mail.app.
Under the Messages On Server tab at Show Messages, All messages on POP server should be selected.
The window below will reveal all messages currently available on the server. You can select an individual message or multiple messages and then the Remove From Server button.

How to prevent mail app on OS X & iOS from automatically marking email messages as read just when they are selected either intentionally or not

Good morning guys
is there a way to prevent mail app on OS X & iOS from automatically marking email messages as read just when they are selected either intentionally or not
thanks

On OS X, You are able to hide the preview window on the right in normal mode, or on the lower side in classic mode, by simply putting your cursor on the thin bar which is in between, and then make it as small as possible, so it goes away.
Then your messages won't be automatically read when clicked once, but only if you click them twice and a new window with the message opens.
Also, you are able to mark them as unread again, which is a silly workaround, but possible.
You can do that by right clicking and select 'Mark as...' -> unread.
On iOS, I'm not sure..

Some websites keep asking to enable cookies in my browser when they are and I can't get this sites to see that, they worked fine yesturday but not now, any help

Some websites keep asking to enable cookies in my browser when they are and I can't get this sites to see that, they worked fine yesterday but not now. I've restarted the browser, restarted the computer, disabled then enabled cookies in the privacy settings and still nothing. Any help?

Hi,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write. Still, documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder on the server. Techies can't figure it out here. What am I not doing?

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write, not read only. Documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder or saved directly into that folder on the server. Not happening with anyone else but me and the boss's computer so has to be in the properties for my text edit software. Techies can't figure it out after trying for two weeks. Boss can do a cut and paste and put into a new document, but that's starting to become a problem.

Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

You have to download them or sync them to your phone ahead of time.

The some words in perfectly formatted messages I email are merging or joining together likethis or evenlikethis when they are recieved. How do I fix this?

When I send emails that are perfectly formatted they are being somewhat truncated when they are received by whomever I'm sending them to. Words will be joined together throughout the email in combinations of two or three.
I know this is happening because when someone responds to my email, I see the email that I have sent them (in their response email) and it is messed up as described above. I recently asked one of my recipients if this was something that was common with my emails and I was told yes.
Here is an example, cut and pasted from an email sent via Thunderbird: "A number of years ago we were speaking with Stephanie MacDonaldat CIT about our film/video production services. Our Account Exec assigned to your account left a number of months later and we subsequently lost contact.
I just visited your web site and noticed thatyou are using video to help define your services and corporate culture. We'd love to be considered if you are planning any more productions.
One genre of web video thatyou may be interested in is 'Recruiting'.
Companies that wish to attract young, bright talent, arereaching out with fun and engaging videos distributed online and through social marketing. I noticed that you have a Careers page, but no video. Is this something that you could be interestedinat some point?
We recently produced one of these videos for an IT company located in Torontoand I'd be delighted to send you alink if you like..."
The version of Thunderbird I am using is 17.0 and I am running the program on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7.5 installed.
Fixing this issue is critical as my emails look very unprofessional and leave a negative impression with my contacts. Please tell me what I can do to fix this.
Best regards,
Derek Shipman

are you pasting text from another source into Thunderbird?
Does it appear correctly in your send folder?
