Backing up PC laptop with Windows Vista to my Time Capsule

Hi
I have a new 27" iMac and use a Time Capsule for backups.
I also have a Toshiba laptop running Vista.
I would like to run the backups from the laptop to the Time Capsule.
I am reading the Time Capsule already as a hub for internet access.
Is this possible and if so how do I do it.
Thanks in advance
John.

Thanks Neil.
Sorry to be so tardy responding.
Have solved the problem another way now by indulging myself in a birthday present, a new Macbook Air 13.3" Bought it from the special offer €100 discount here in France.
Happy as a pig in .... now.
Bought the Magic Trackpad as well.
Double pig in whatsit!!
Regards.

Hp zv5242qv laptop with windows vista will not run on battery but will run on power adapter

Hello, I have a HP zv5242qv pavilion zv5000 series laptop with windows vista installed. I can run it on the power adapter with and without the battery installed but it will not power up on just the battery, the battery is new and fully charged. When I plug in the power adapter the battery light on the front of the laptop comes o then goes off, anyone have any ideas about my problem ?

Hello,
The situation you describe looks like the unit has problems with the battery, but you say the battery is new and is fully charged.
Then, the issue might be with the system board and maybe there isn't anyhting you can do.
You can try to remove the battery and the ac adapter, and keep the power button pressed for 30 seconds, then connect the ac adapter, turn on the unit, then when in windows put the battery in place, see how it is detected, the power level and restart the PC. See if the unit restarts with the battery in place, if yes, then shutdown the unit.
See what happens and report back.
Thanks,
I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON

My ipod shuffle (1st generation) will not restore. It says it is corrupted(error 1442) Is it possible to correct this problem, or is it beyond repair. It worked last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

Im actually tilting it up where it cinnects to my iPod, not where it connects to my computer, and i have tried three(yes, 3) different cables, one of which i bought brand new. still nothing, and i've also tried different USB ports on my computer,....nothing. Could this simply be a hardware failure of somekind? maybe a physical problem...i mean, why would i have to tilt the cable in order for my computer to actually read my iPod? im looking at the USB connector on my iPod (maybe it's my imagination, not sure) it possible might be bent, the little metal part in the port.

Help installing itunes on laptop with Windows Vista.

I have a laptop with Windows Vista. I've tried to download iTunes but I keep getting a message that says "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for his install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personel or package vendor." I read a thread that suggested removing all Apple components then restarting. I was unable to remove Apple Software Update. All other components were removed fine. Someone please help. Thanks.

I am using Adobe Reader X on a laptop with Windows Vista OS and Adobe Reader XI on an older laptop with Windows XP OS. While filling out the same form on each computer, I have found that I can save info on the older laptop, but not on the newer one. This is a big problem. I must be able to save on the newer computer. Do I need to buy a new computer with a more up-to-date OS? Please help.

Adobe Reader X can only save reader-enabled forms. Adobe Reader XI can save all forms.

Help, hotsync palm treo 755p to my laptop with windows vista 64 bit.

I am computer unsavy and could use some help. I have a palm treo 755p that previously synced with my old dell laptop. That computer broke, and I got a new HP with windows vista 64 bit. Previously, the dell was running windows xp. I have bought some new software, which I have downloaded to my laptop, and am trying to sync my palm to the new computer so that I can download the program to the computer. However, after installing the Palm Hotsync Manager and other software, and when I trying to sync, the computer does not seem to recognized my palm, and times out after a while stating "the connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again.
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

Palm OS devices will only sync to 64bit through Bluetooth. We have a stickie concerning this. It's the third topic down under windows hotsync. Does your computer have Bluetooth?

I want to sync between a netbook with Windows 7 and a laptop with Windows Vista, and the bookmarks don't transfer?

Everything else looks like it transfers (though appearance is different, I'm guessing from different Windows), but bookmarks are blank when transfer from Windows 7 to Windows Vista.

Firefox's built-in ability to play MPEG-encoded media through its built-in HTML5 player requires the Media Foundation components of Windows.
Some users may have blocked this from within Firefox in order to make it easier to download MP3s. To double-check on that:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''media''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If '''media.windows-media-foundation.enabled''' is in bold type and "user set" to false, double-click to switch its value back to true.
(4) If '''media.windows-media-foundation.play-stand-alone''' is in bold type and "user set" to false, double-click to switch its value back to true.
Then try reloading the tab with the MP3.
If Firefox is set to use Media Foundation and it still doesn't work, maybe something is missing from Windows. Another Windows 7 user reported that they were able to fix a problem with Media Foundation using a download from Microsoft:
<blockquote>Solved the problem, installed the Windows Media Feature Pack ([http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968211]) which gives you the Media Player, DVD Maker and Media Center.
I've deactivated those three via the Control Panel and still got MP3 support. :D</blockquote>

Can't Install iTunes on my laptop with Windows Vista...PLEASE HELP

I've received error messages every time I try to download iTunes. I've tried the troubleshooting steps on Apple's website but no luck.

Good lord ... a bit of an alphanumeric soup there ...
It's not clear initially which is the fundamental error here. But based on the fact that the 8007371b can be fixed by the System Update Readiness Tool, we might try a manual install of that first. There's information on how to do that in the *Information for Advanced Users* section of the following document.
[Description of the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista, for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7, and for Windows Server 2008 R2|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821]
Installing the tool will run the tool.
After the installation of the tool, restart the PC. Then go back to Windows Update, and attempt to stock up again on Windows Updates. Do they download and install correctly? If so, because you might be a reasonable way behind on updates, keep going back to Windows update until it stops offering you new updates.
Once you're stocked up again, restart the PC again, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I downloaded HP bing bar in my laptop with windows vista and IE9 64 bit Nothing happens

After i downloaded Bing bar and clicked the activation for smart print nothing happens. It shows that the bar and smart print have been downloaded and htey are in the list of add-ons but the bar does not show
On the contrary I have an old desktop with windows XP and IE8 i did the same and the bar and the smart print icon shows and work
What is the problem with the laptop which is the one I use the most and take it with me when I tavel?
Please HELP!!!!!!

Hmmm, can you try reinstalling HP Smart Print using the same document I sent before:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01812475&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
1. Expand the + sign next to I have never used HP Smart Web Printing. How do I download HP Smart Print?
2. Follow the instructions under Step one: Download and install HP Smart Print
**Note, I believe this download will install HP Smart Print, but not the Bing bar.
If you want the Bing bar, you can try re-downloading at:

HT4528 I would like to import my iphone videos to my laptop and incorporate them into my office 2010 microsoft powerpoint. I have a toshiba laptop with windows vista

I would like to be able to transfer the videos into my 2010 power point. What is the best software
for windows vista to format the video ?

Plus you will need to buy a Blu ray DVD burner.
There have been discussions about quality issues with iMovie 08 because it uses single field processing to create the video images. Basically, this removes half of the lines of resolution from your original footage. This has to create some loss of quality. iMovie HD6, on the other hand, does not do this, keeping both fields intact.
iMovie 08 was really created to appeal to You Tubers and other web video users, where high quality is less of an issue. iMovie HD6 and previous versions were created to appeal to the budding moviemaker who wants a pro style editing platform with great quality, but ease of use, as compared to Final Cut programmes. That's also why iMovie HD6 was designed to work solely with miniDV tape cams, in either SD or HD format. DV Stream is a lossless format that produces superior results to any of the other high compression formats, such as AVCHD.
So, you need to spend more money to get HD DVDs, but your quality will suffer using iMovie 08, which your camcorder forces you to do. Perhaps some consideration of a suitable cam to begin with will be of help.

How do I give access to a windows vista to the Time capsule 2 TB drive?

I just got a time capsule, I have set it up on my mac, I was able to share printing between time capsule and windows via Bonjour for windows.
How do I get the windows vista pc to see the 2 tb hard drive in the Wi-Fi or Airport network? I have read through the instructions and do not see any references to acheive this, Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

This has nothing to do with Time Capsule, Macintosh and Windows use entirely different disk structures. TM needs a disk formatted for Mac, Windows needs, well Windows format.
First you will need to move everything on it elsewhere, partitioning and formatting is going to erase everything on it, do you have somewhere to put the contents of the drive?
The best advice is to get another drive and let TM have its own storage.

Windows Vista cannot see Time Capsule

I had a network setup via Time Capsule with iMac, Macbook Pro and PC running Vista Business. I have lost internet connectivity on the PC and Airport utility cannot see Time Capsule. The PC is connected to Time Capsule via etherenet. How can I fix this?

ONE PROBLEM THOUGH. I believe ONLY PROFESSIONAL versions of windows have the local policies acceptable. This means all of us using HOME editions are screwed.
Home Edition users would have to perform a Registry edit as follows:
1. Open registry editor (ref: Start > Search > Enter: regedit)
2. Browse to HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
3. Create a new DWORD value with the following properties: NAME = LmCompatibilityLevel & VALUE = 1
4. Restart your PC and try the connection again...
