Any thoughts on Infinity and Windows 8?

Hi,
I have just installed Windows 8 64bit Pro OEM. I dont really like it at all, I first installed a software for a original Start menu key which was missing and I find very frustrating without, but I got that sorted eventually and now I am just finding my way around but very frustrated! I have tested speeds with Infinity and it does seem to be down on the download by about 300 - 400Kbps, upload speeds the same as 7, it seems also the loading times on google chrome, is what I use, seems to be hanging quit badly. I'm not likeing it at all and I'm thinking of going back to Windows 7. I just wanted to know how others got on?. Thanks.

  • Any issues with PE7 and Windows 7?

    Hi All,
    I am considering purchasing a second computer. I have had great success with PE7 and Vista, But I can't get Vista on the new Alienware I want to buy. So, has anyone  had any issues with PE7 and Windows 7? I have read many posts where there are issues with PE8 and Windows7.
    Thanks, Stan

    It's a toshiba laptop.
    4 gig DDR3
    core duo
    320 hard drive - partitioned
    I also use a dual screen - 22" lcd monitor
    I don't use it a lot, since I have a desktop.   I've noticed having a
    dedicated video card makes a world of difference in editing.  This might be
    your problem; a dedicated high end video card is the way to go.
    If I do simple compilations I don't have any problems.  I usaully am making
    a DVD of soccer games.  If there is a lot of special effects I'll use my
    desktop that has XP.

  • Any experience with Paralles and Windows XP Pro? Advise?

    I am new in Mac world. I understand Parallels software will let you install windows on a HD partition.
    Any suggestions to make this process as expedite as possible?
    How big is the partition required?
    Is it possible install windows based aplications on that partition? software?

    I have a core 2 Duo (3.33) iMac with 8GB and run Parallels 7 with a Windows 7 operating system. I use it for surfing the web and Microsoft business applications. I find no problem with heat and speed. For everything else, I use OSX.
    I was using the same product/operating system on a MacBook Pro (2005) Core 2 Duo with 8GB of RAM and had no difficuties either.
    THe problem with Bootcamp is you have to reboot your machine to switch between OSX and Windows. That was a killer for me. In addtion, with Parallels, you can drag files accross platforms if necessary.
    I haven't tried Fusion. You can download a trail of Parallels and see how you like it before you commit to a purchase. There are online sales from time to time and you can buy the product for less than $40.00.

  • HH2 bt infinity and windows 8 Wifi does not have a...

    Hello I bought windows 8 in January and upgraded an old Dell xps m1730 laptop, however after 4 or 5 months the laptop lost all it's wireless connection to the HH. I rang Bt help and eventually was told that it was a fault with my Laptop, after playing around with ip settings I eventually got the laptop to connect by using a static ip address in my list of IP's. Yesterday I bought a brand new laptop for my daughter, an HP Envy M6 i5, and during the setup process I entered my wireless details, and I could not believe it,there was the same message Wifi does not have a valid wifi configuration, i tried using ip config renew, flush, switched off the firewall,switched of the HomeHub and the Openreach boxes to no avail, i have now setup this pc using a static ip address. As like most people these days i have a lot of wifi devices in the house, including 3 Macbook's, iphone's,blackberry's, also a windows 7 pc, everything connects flawlessly, Just not Windows 8, Can you prompt me in the right direction to fix this problem?

    That's a pity! I was going to suggest using the Windows connection rather than the HP one to see if it connected without problem.
    I don't think there is a general problem with Windows 8 not connecting to Infinity otherwise I'm sure there would be more posts about it on this forum.
    I usually suggest a factory reset of the homehub by pressing a pin into the red recess button for about 20 seconds to sort out configuration settings on the Hub but if you were to do this you would need to set up your fixed IP address again if it didn't sort the problem. It might be worth a try if you can be bothered.
    Other than that I can't think what else to try for the moment. 

  • Is there any documentation concerning Contribute and Windows 2008 x64

    I have the impression that it may not be posssible to use
    Contribute on Windows 2008 x64 Enterprise server.
    Has anyone had any luck?
    thanks

    Hi PREM,
    If I understand correctly, you want to use SQL Server Authentication log to SQL Server Integration Services.
    Based on my research, only Microsoft Windows Authentication is available for SSIS. So we cannot use SQL Server Authentication log to SQL Server Integration Services. Besides, we can only add OS users in the DCOM Config permission area.
    Reference:
    Connect to Server (Integration Services)

  • Any thoughts, cautions, and/or praises for buying a T 61?

    As much as I had hoped to hold out for the next model, I am going to bite the bullet and go for a T 61.
    Here is the configuaration:
    •  Core 2 Duo T7250 / 2 GHz •  Centrino Pro •  RAM 1 GB •  HDD 160 GB •  DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM •  GMA X3100 •  Gigabit Ethernet •  WLAN : Bluetooth 2.0 EDR •  802.11 a/b/g/n (draft) •  TPM •  fingerprint reader •  Vista Business •  15.4" Widescreen TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) •  TopSeller
    If anyone has any thoughts, suggestions, cautions, and/or praises for the T 61, I would be very grateful.
    I thank you all in advance.

    The first thing I would do is buy a 2 GB stick of RAM and install it. 1 GB is not really sufficient for Vista. Well, nothing can really fix Vista, but 1 GB will make it worse. 3 GB would be even better.
    The good news is you can buy the RAM and install it yourself MUCH cheaper than if you had ordered it with the machine - sorry, Lenovo.
    The following is a good video on removing the RAM. It's for the T60 but it's exactly the same for the T61:

  • ITunes and Windows 8

    Using it on a tablet that had Win 7 (and it ran fine). Switched to Windows 8 when RTM came out (tablet certified for Windows 8). When I rented a couple of movies after about 10 minutes of watching the movie would play horribly slow and the sound would cut out. Restarting iTunes fixes it for about another 10 minutes.
    Any word on iTunes and Windows 8? Apple has had enought time to test (with the dev and consumer previews being out for several months and RTM was at least a month ago) and deploy a version ready for Windows 8 at launch date.....

  • Error when syncing with iTunes and Windows 7 64Bit(AMD)

    I keep getting this error:
    Attempting to copy to the disk " Your Name Here's IPhone" failed. The Device timed out...
    It works fine on my Netbook ( Wind 7 32 Bit)
    I am sure someone has this issue...
    I tried running in XP mode, Shut off my Pass lock, Uninstall and reinstall Drivers, Using USB2.0...
    Any thoughts on this ( and I do not want to hear Use your netbook) LOL
    Thanks
    mike

    There are known issue with 64bit Win 7 and syncing...the best fix is to update the BIOS of the machine you're on and that helped most issues...highest issue reported was for people using a Gigabyte Motherboard and Win 7...
    That's why it works on 32bit Win 7...something in the MB that communicates with synced devices doesn't like iPhone and the BIOS update is needed to address this until Microsoft releases a cover all fix.

  • Hi, Since updating to 10.7.2 I cannot make any changes to my web site. I just keep getting the same stupid message asking if I have an account even though I am already logged in. Any thoughts. Thanks

    Go and log out of your MobileMe account and then try logging back in again with a dummy username and password.  This can help clear it and then just log back in again with your normal username and password.
    Note though that iWeb does not require a password or username to use it - this is MobileMe.
    Also, start thinking about MobileMe alternatives before you are forced to in June.

  • Weird partial boot happening...any thoughts?

    When I start up my TiBook it opens through the initial gray screen but when it hits the blue screen with the load bar, it stops. Nothing loads. Also it won't boot from techtools or the system disk....Any thoughts.

    Hi, Markmls, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Hold down the trackpad button while restarting the Powerbook. Continue to hold the button down until the CD is ejected. This is a hardware command that ejects all removable media before the OS begins to load, so it should pop your CD out before any imaginary connection between it and the hard drive (very strange!) can interfere.
    If the Powerbook then proceeds to start up normally, insert your latest OS installer CD or DVD into the drive and restart the Powerbook, holding down the "c" key until the grey Apple logo appears to force it to use the CD as the startup disk. Open Disk Utility from the Installer menu, select your hard drive in DU's left pane, click the First Aid tab in DU's right pane, and click the Repair Disk button. Let the repair routine run its course, and if any problems are reported to have been fixed, run it again until you get a "clean" run, with no problems or repairs reported. Then quit Disk Utility and restart normally. Let us know how it goes.

  • Will my 4GB MBP work with Mavericks and Windows 7 smoothly?

    I own a 13", Mid-2010 MacBook Pro with 4GB of RAM and a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Will this system, given enough hard drive space, be able to run both Windows 7 and the newest OS X Mavericks via Boot Camp without any significant "lag", or effect on performance? I realise it will hurt the performance, but will it effect my ability to use the Mac?
    Also, any advice on using Windows 7 with MOUNTAIN LION instead would be great!
    If my specs do not meet the necessary requirements, any advice on upgrades i should need is also much appreciated
    Thanks!

    That Mac will work without any problem in Mavericks and Windows 7, as it meets the requirements of both of them. OS X Mavericks improves Mac OS X performance in most Macs, but make a backup of your files before upgrading Mac OS X. The same if you use Mountain Lion, but it's a bit older OS X version.
    If you haven't installed Windows 7 yet, follow these steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf

  • ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install.  Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2.  Any Thoughts?

    iTunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install.  Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2.  Any Thoughts?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
    If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

  • Error when I try to open Firefox. Says Firefox is running in the background and cannot open. Suggests closing that window or restart system. This has happened several times recently. I reinstalled but am still getting the error. Any thoughts?

    I am getting an Error when I try to open Firefox that Says Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. This has happened several times recently. I deinstalld and reinstalled but am still getting the error. Any thoughts?

    This happens to me as well. However, I have a shortcut on my desktop as well as my quick start bar. When this has happened to me, I can usually log back in without restarting, by using the shortcut on the desktop rather than the usual quick start bar.
    I know this sounds weird, but it has worked for me about 80% of the time.

  • Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

    Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
    Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
    Rebooting phone/laptop/router
    Disabling ipv6
    Disabling all networks except the one curently on
    Re-installing iTunes
    Restoring iPhone
    No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

    I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

  • My Airport Express will not stream music to my remote speakers through the laptop (windows Vista), gives error code -15000. Works fine from my IPAD and Ipod. Any thoughts, suggestions?

    Itunes is throwing a -15000 error code on my Windows vista. Ipad and Ipod work great for streaming to remote speakers, trying to use the computer and it throws the error code.
    Any thoughts? I've rebooted the laptop, modem, and AE, even plugged in the laptop recommended by other users, still nothing.

    the following is for W7 but might work for you:
