Bootcamp only saying "install windows 7" , also not working with install disks

i want to install windows 8.1
as u can see bootcamp only says "install windows 7"
i think that i can't do a usb drive install without deleting everything off the only usb stick i have, right?
so i have an install disc instead, like u used to be able to do
should it be working with a disc?
i have a copy of windows 7 as well, so i even tried to install 7 off a disc and this is the message i get when i have either the 8.1 or 7 disc in the drive and i click "continue"
i also figured it would give me the option of how space to allocate before it asked for the install disk

For Macs with built-in Optical drive, you need the Windows installer on a DVD. What year/model is the Mac? (The option to create USB Installer is missing which is also a clue).
The Windows DVD is identified as 'legitimate'. From Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support
Which versions of Windows work with Boot Camp 5.1?
Boot Camp 5.1 supports 64-bit, non-Enterprise versions of Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1. This version of Boot Camp doesn't support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or any 32-bit version of Windows. Depending on your Mac, you may be able to use an earlier version of Boot Camp to work with other versions of Windows. For details, see the Boot Camp system requirements for Microsoft Windows.

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

1
Close all iWork applications
2
Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
3
empty the trash
4
shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
5
Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

Time Machine will NOT work with Airport Disks!

It looks like Time Machine will not work with Airport Disks after all. All references to Airport have been removed from the Time Machine page:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/timemachine.html
It also specifically says: "You can designate just about any HFS+ formatted FireWire or USB drive connected to a Mac as a Time Machine backup drive. Time Machine can also back up to another Mac running Leopard with Personal File Sharing, Leopard Server, or Xsan storage devices."
Surely, they would have included the Airport Extreme Base Station in this list if it was supported.
I really hope there will be another firmware update for the AEBS which will bring compatibility with Time Machine, because Time Machine was the only reason for me to buy an AEBS. (I only use it as a small backup server, I don't even have wireless networking enabled. There were other solutions, e.g. from Synology, which are faster and more reliable than AEBS disk sharing, but Synology stated their network drives would not be compatible with Time Machine.)

Here's how you can potentially use your AirDisk with TimeMachine (beware that YMMV), but it should work as it works with every other "unsupported" device.
1) Mount your AirDisk so it appears on your Mac
2) Open Terminal.app
3) change directories to the AirDisk's root folder located in "/Volumes"
ie: cd "/Volumes/AirDisk Name"
4) execute this command to "bless" the drive to be used with time machine:
touch .com.apple.timemachine.supported
5) Start TimeMachine and if all went well, it should recognize your AirDisk drive and use it for TM.
This should also work on NFS shares, SMB shares, AFP shares, basically anything. It has worked up until the last developer seed, so unless they yanked this at the last minute, it should still work.
Now, the reason why Apple removed this feature may be due to the unreliability of the AirDisk, so be cautious.

I'm not sure what need to setup on the sever to make it connect correctly and assign it to the correct vlan when it's authenticated.

I'm also not sure what the internal error message is regarding about. The switch should automatically put me to vlan 7
Can you some please help out what the correct authentication method for mac 10.9.4.

Digi@nwhere A/D Plus on Windows XP MCE (not working with Media Center)

I just recently bought a MSI Digi@nywhere A/D Plus from Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815127008 to replace the WinTV by Hauppage that came with my HP Media Center m7640n, after installing the card and drivers, I am able to watch TV in the ArcSoft application that came on the CD, but using the Windows Media Software
I've applied every possible update/rollup for my Windows Media software, but it just says Quote
"At least one tuner that supports a standard (NTSC) TV signal must be installed to configure the TV signal. Please ensure that your tuner hardware is correctly installed, restart the computer, and try again."
What am I doing wrongly that Media Center is not finding the card? Since my software is the 2005 version, from what I've read supports ATSC, and was listed on the Newegg.com and MSI spec as supported.
Quote
Windows XP SP2 / MCE 2005 / Vista (when using MCE 2005 OS, an extra 3rd party DVD decoder must be installed) / Windows 7
Is the 3rd party DVD decoder required for device use or just for burning to disc?

Quote from: Stu on 30-October-10, 17:38:44
Did you use the latest driver from here?
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=132&prod_no=1948
Yeah, I've got the "Digi@nywhere A/D Plus BDA driver" installed on my PC
and my "device manager" shows that it's currently the 1.345.9.1009
I can view the TV in the ArcSoft TotalMedia software and everything works fine, but Media Center still fails to recognize the card. I'd really prefer Media Center because of it's enhance EPG & recording scheduling over TotalMedia
Is there something more to be done to/with Media Center? Registry edit or 3rd party add-on that I'm missing?

Windows phone emulator not working with windows 10 technical preview 9926

I recently updated my computer to technical preview 9926 and now when I launch the windows phone emulator in 2013 visual studio for windows. It says "Starting windows phone OS" for like 10 minutes. Then it gives me an error message:
windows phone emulator is unable to connect to the windows phone operating system: The phone did not respond to the connect request. Some functionality might be disabled. And then it will boot up for a little and the home search and back
button wont work and it will never deploy my app then it will crash and bring me back to visual studio. My hyper v is turned on I have checked all the network switches. The emulator used to work with the technical preview but ever since the newest update
it stopped working.
Any help would be appreciated.

Windows 7 cleartype NOT working with Firefox 6 (it worked with Firefox 5)

As soon as I upgraded to Firefox 6 on Aug 16, 2011 - the Windows 7 cleartype stopped working within firefox.
The text now looks blurry and light. I disabled all addons, tried safe mode. It was always the same thing.
To fix this, I manually downgraded to Firefox 5. As soon as I did this, the cleartype was back. The text was dark, the way it always was.
I have the same addons with both versions and I've tried to repeatedly install both versions, but with the same end result. Windows Cleartype doesn't seem to work in Firefox 6 (compared to Firefox 5).
Firefox 6 is amazing, but non-compatibility with Windows7 cleartype is a big issue. One of the best features of firefox is the tinkering it allows with it's fonts, and the clarity of text it allows. Sadly this doesn't work in Firefox 6.
I've downgraded to Firefox 5 for now. Hopefully this will be resolved soon..

I had the exact same issue after updating. I even resorted to downgrading yesterday after not finding any decent work-around for this, but when it forced an update today upon starting Firefox I just had to clear this up. Here's what you can do:
# Type '''about:config''' in the address bar.
# Type '''gfx.font''' into the filter bar.
# Focus on the following parameters: '''cleartype_level''', '''enhanced_contrast''', '''gamma''', '''pixel_structure''' and '''rendering_mode'''. Forget about the rest.
# Press Start and type '''regedit''' into the search field.
# Once there, choose the following: ''HKEY_CURRENT_USER - Software - Microsoft - Avalon.Graphics - DISPLAY1'' and note down each value represented in the data column within the brackets. For example, my '''ClearTypeLevel''' value is 100, '''EnhancedContrastLevel''' is 400 and '''TextContrastLevel''' is 2.
# Now that you've found these values, go back to the configuration in Firefox and right click on the '''cleartype_level''' parameter, and choose Modify. Now enter that very same value from before (100, for me) in there. Do that with the rest of the values. I put my '''rendering_mode''' as 2, which could coincide with the '''TextContrastLevel''', but it might not, but the '''rendering_mode''' values range from -1 to 5, so see which works for you.
# To change the '''gamma''' and '''pixel_structure''', go back to the '''Registry Editor''' like before, but this time follow this: ''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Microsoft - Avalon.Graphics - DISPLAY1'' and note the values within the brackets from there.
# Replace those values to the ones in the configuration and you're all set!
If you want to read more about those configuration parameters and their values, [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_6.0%2C_etc.#Font_rendering_and_performance_issues here's] a great article of sorts about it. It's about Thunderbird 6.0, but everything mentioned there correlates with Firefox 6.0.
This is as close as I've gotten to the text looking like it's supposed to and if even this doesn't work for you then I'm open to any and all suggestions anyone might have : /

Zen touch, crashing with Windows XP professional, not working with Windows media pla

i will start with an apology if someone has posted this up before i have just had a quick look and could not see any think about this.
if i turn my computer on with out running any other programs and connect the zen touch the computer automatically turn on the zen touch media player program. this work's fine as long as no other programs are running.
i have tried to work the zen touch with Windows media player but this dose not work and the computer crashes every time.
i have window xp professional and have all up dates from Windows. my computer is very new and has more then enough memory and ram.
please can you help. i am not to happy with the zen touch computer program and would like to know how to fix this problem.
thank you for your help
Rob the monkey

I wonder if there are problems here associated with the use of the zen touch on SP2 machines. Interestingly I cannot transfer music from my PC to my Zen 20gb on a SP2 machine but I can do so on my sisters machine which has got SP. Obviously having the lastest firmware is a good idea though but I believe there are issues associated with SP2 and as you say you have all the latest updates to windows perhaps the problem lies there. Sorry if this doesn't help you at all

One USB port does not work with external Disk or USB key

Hello,
Back to my iMAC there is 3 USB port. The second one - in the middle - does not work pluging an external Disk, an USB key or an iPOD nano. However it works well connecting a Wacom tablet.
Is there an explanation to this behaviour ?
More the keyboard is plugded on USB port 1 and the mouse on the keyboard. Time to time - especially at reboot - I have to unplugged the mouse and plugged again it in order it works.
In advance thank you for your answers
Regards

Since it does not work for three different devices, I will assume it is not something simple like a faulty USB cable. Since it does work for one device, I will also assume that the port is (at least partially) working.
As a test to narrow down the cause, I would try restarting from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert disc and restart with the C key held down).
At the first Installer screen (after language selection), go up the menu bar. Under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility. Now, connect the USB drive into that center port. Does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
Please post back the result...

Just installed PRO 7, is not working with Windows 8.1

I just installed Acrobat Pro 7 on Windows 8.1
Will not open any documents: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000fd)"

Not surprising, particularly if a 64-bit system. It needs to run in the 32-bit mode as a minimum. It may not run at all. I was successful with AA7 on Win7, both 32 and 64-bit systems. However, the Adobe PDF printer and AcroTray failed and a workaround was required. I only did it as a test and do not use that configuration anymore.

How do I set a time period longer than 7 days for keeping my browsing history on my Macbook Pro? The instructions for doing so on a Windows PC do not work with a Mac.

I am using Firefox 8.0.1. There seems to be no option anywhere in Preferences on my Macbook Pro for keeping the browsing history for a specific period of time. Earlier my history was kept for quite a while. Now it only shows for 7 days at the most, and if I quit firefox, it starts over again fro scratch the next time I open Firefox. Any suggestions? There are plenty of answers out there if you are using Windows, but I haven't found anything for using a mac.

There is no time limit in Firefox 4+ versions for the history. 
Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept without affecting the performance. 
You can see the current value via the reads-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_max_pages on the about:config page.
See:
* http://blog.bonardo.net/2010/01/20/places-got-async-expiration
If you lose the history then make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the browsing history. 
Also make sure that you do not have cleanup software that might clean up files in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Windows 7 Clients Not Working With Web-Auth

I am using 5508 controllers, configured for WEB-AUTH passthrough, Windows XP clients work fine but Windows 7 clients are hit and miss getting redirected to the splash screen.
The login page is customised showing T's & C's with two buttons Except or Reject.
Do I need to Pre-Auth with ACL's? Has anyone had similar issues, or any good doc's etc.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Jay

Nicolas,
Many thanks for your relpy, the problem is that this is a guest network that's also avalable to the public and I dont have any control over the end clients.
After doing a quick search on the net I found this.
NCSI : Uses a combination of DNS and/or HTTP look ups to tell if you are connected to the Internet. The way NCSI does this is either via a HTTP request for http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt or a DNS look up for dns.msftncsi.com that resovles to 131.107.255.255.
NCSI does this whether you are logged on or not.
Do I need to Create a Preauthentication ACL on the Guest WLAN interface:-
Configure a preauthentication ACL on the WLAN to allow wireless clients to allow:-
1. Permit DNS resolution (UDP/53) to 213.199.181.90
2. Permit TCP port 80 to 131.107.255.255
