Can a T61 with a Santa Rosa platform run Vist 64-bit, or do you need a Penryn platform?
Can a T61 with a Santa Rosa platform run Vista 64-bit, or do you need a Penryn platform?
I have been told that the Santa Rosa platform cannot handle Vista 64-bit.
Thank you!

I thank you very much, Steve and Don!
I had been speaking with a Lenovo tech support agent earlier today, who had advised, "a Santa Rosa platform cannot run Vista 64-bit".
I know. It did not make sense to me either. I guess the Lenovo agent was a newbie.
I appreciate the clarification!
PS: I wish that I could have both responses marked as solutions.

Fn + delete, other shortcuts not working with new Santa Rosa Macbooks?
I recently received a brand new Macbook (Santa Rosa platform) as a replacement for my defunct old Macbook (which was the previous generation). I've noticed in bootcamp, Fn+Delete no longer serves as a shortcut for the Del key in windows. Nor does Fn+Up or Fn+Down serve as PgUp, PgDn respectively. Is this intentional, or something that I can get a fix for?
I don't know if my solution will help everyone else, but I am using BootCamp 1.4b and recently reformatted my Windows drive. I had the Mac drivers for this backed up on my Windows PC and I used my PC to burn them to disk. After troubleshooting the problem described above for many hours (or at least one with the same symptoms), I found that the keyboard driver on my cd was corrupt (stupid CD-RWs never work right.) Since I had my ethernet up and running at that point, I was able to use the Windows on my Mac to pull the drivers off my network share and then I deleted the Human Interface Devices as described above and then reran the Mac driver setup program. After I restarted, everything worked fine.
WARNING: Make sure you can do everything you need to do using only the mouse since the keyboard will not function at all after deleting the devices. -
My start up disk Macintosh HD is full on my McAir OSX 10.9.4 memory 4GB. I need to clear the disk so that I can update it with the new software IOS 10.9.5 requiring 2.05GB. Need guidance on how to clear space.
For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
I used to be able to download temple run onto my iPod 2nd generation. I then had to restore the iPod but now I can't re-download temple run onto it. It says you need a higher ios number. This is the same with many other apps as well and not just temple run. Is there anything I can do to get them back?
So, you need an older version of the iOS app, because the current version no longer works on your iPod touch.
If you do regular backups of your hard drive (as you should), such as by using Apple's built-in Time Machine (if you use a Mac), you may find the older version of the app in the backup archive, and restore it (replacing the newer version). They are stored in the iTunes Media folder, in the Mobile Applications sub-folder. You should then be able to sync the older version to your iPod touch.
I can't think of any other way to get it back...
NOTE: An 2nd gen iPod touch can run up to iOS 4.2.1. If your iPod touch is running something earlier, and that is why the app no longer works, you can also consider updating the iPod's iOS.
I use an even older iPhone (original). I avoid this potential problem by aways updating its apps on the iPhone, not in iTunes on the computer. When I do it on the iPhone, it will not download a newer version of an app that won't run on my old iPhone. -
I have a IPHONE 4s 16 gb. I use a HP notebook PC running Vista 32 bit. My question is: What calender do I use on my PC that will sync easity with the IPHONE and the original IPAD 16 gb. I do not have outlook express.
Have a look at this article: Syncing contacts and calendars to iPod with iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7
iTunes has the ability to sync1 your contacts and calendars from Microsoft Outlook, and Windows Contacts (formerly Microsoft Address Book) to any iPod with a display screen.
The maximum supported number of contacts varies by iPod model.
Note: iTunes can sync vCards (.vcf) or Windows Contact (.contact) files, but only from one program at a time. If you sync from Outlook and then Windows Contact, your previous contacts will be overwritten. Outlook 2003 or later is required to sync contacts and calendars from Outlook. Windows 7 does not include Windows Contacts; Windows Contacts can be downloaded as part of Windows Live Essentials.
This article discusses how to sync contacts and calendars to iPod on Windows Vista. To learn how to sync contacts and calendars from Windows XP / 2000, go here. -

T500: Can you run Vista 64 bit on it?
I have an Intel Core2Duo 2.8GHz T9600 on my Thinkpad T500 and want to know if I can run Vista 64 bit. Has anyone tried it or know if it is even possible?
Any feedback?
Thanks for your help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.Your system is more than enough for Vista 64 bit. My R61 is running Vista 64 bit, given that it only has a 1.66 ghz Core 2 Duo.

how can i save me data stored on a non responding ipod classic and says you need to format before using it?
in another way : how can i save my date stored on my classic iPOD as a external hard .... when that msgs appears .... volume doesn't contain a recognized file system , make sure the file system is loaded .... then , you need to format ??? can anyone help ?It sounds like the iPod's storage has data corruption. You may be able to treat it like an external drive and use data recovery software on it, but it probably won't work because the system is telling you that the drive needs to be formatted before it is recognized.
If the problem is data corruption and there is no hardware-related problem on the iPod's hard drive, a Restore should fix the problem. But this will obviously erase the iPod's hard drive. -

ISight with Parallels Santa Rosa processor
I am trying to determine why iSight works with Parallels on my MacBook, but not my new MacBook Pro 2.4 with Santa Rosa Processor. I have determined the iSight product id in the new MacBook Pro is 8502 while in the MacBook it is 8501, therefore Windows won't recognize the device and install the driver. Has anyone found a way to modify the iSight installer file? I modified the .ini file and it recoginzed the iSight, but when it finishes installing you get a device cannot start error.
Thanks for your helpHello, Kappy.
Even if the OP understands, it seems to me that this Parallels FAQ entitled "My iSight doesn't work on Parallels Desktop for Mac." implies a connection with Boot Camp.
Respectfully,

Everyone with a santa rosa macbook pro..
did the wireless fix sort the issues out!? i really need to no. without the wireless working on my macbook pro when i get it in a week..itl be useless!
everyone whats going on???MBP Santa Rosa 17", now four days old, officially. Forgot completely about all the wireless/networking problems cited here, and, therefore, just joined my household network (LinkSys) Wednesday afternoon without thinking.
Everything went perfectly.
Took said MBP to another location this weekend (wi-fi'd marina), again forgetting about the potential problem joining that setup . . . but no difficulty again.
Hope I'm not the exception. LOVE THE NEW MACHINE thus far: no display problems, no wi-fi problems, no kernal crashes, no nothing. Fingers crossed and smile on mouth! -
We need the 'Golden Triangle' setup to work with ARD3 running on a Mac server with client Mac details retrieved from a Windows Active Directory. In this system, the ARD3 will be used to install packages from a Mac OS X server, where the client Mac list is gathered directly from a Windows Active Directory, which is already in place.
So, please guide me whether Apple Remote Desktop 3 is capable of getting client machine details from an Active Directory without the need of re-creating the client Mac list in the Mac server running ARD3.
If ARD3 can not be used in this case, do you recommend any other tools that can resolve our issue.
Thank you in advance.
Sudheesh.ARD cannot directly obtain client information from Active Directory, no. It may be possible to create a script that would get such information and be able to put it into ARD, but I wouldn't begin to know how to write such a script. You may also be able to bind your OS X Server to ARD and create groups there. This article is obsolete for 10.6 or later but may provide some clues as to how to proceed:

There are a number of third-party systems that can manage Macs that may be able to draw information from AD, such as Casper, LANDesk, and others. Which if any would meet your needs depends on many factors including how many devices you need to manage, whether you're looking for a cross-platform tool, your budget, etc. This is a difficult issue to address in a forum like this since there are so many variables to be considered.

calendar events on I phone does not show up on my I mac.
You need to move to Windows 7, because Apple is now releasing a new OS X version annually and it's playing havoc with people's hardware and software.
Windows 7 will get support until 2020, that's 8 years of software stability, however you do need to make System Restore disks, boot disk and another on a hard drive to self restore (like TimeMachine is for OS X)
Apple has no plans to change their currrent behavior as all they care about is selling new hardware with a shiny new OS X verison on it.
If you wait to move, what will happen is you'll lose that full 8 years and will have to swtich to a newer Windows sooner
Windows 7 machines are still widely avaialble, despite Windows 8 (a failure) being pushed currently.
Running three OS X operating systems on one machine is quite a chore reserved for only seasoned computer geeks, then it's only going to last X months as the next OS X version will be released, then the next a year after that.
Another method would be to get a virtual machine software (virtualbox is free) and install Windows 7 into that to ease your transitition if you cant' spring for a Windows 7 machine, preferablly a tower that will last a long time.
Here is a method to run Snow Leopard in Parallels, however it's a unapproced hack and not for the comptuer newbie.

We have no control over Apple's OS X release cycle, nor the third party developers who make their own decisions what to support.
Our only choice as users to stop using both products and seek software/hardware stability. -
Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud 2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel. I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version).
The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.” After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
Sound familiar? Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue? Thanks much in advance!Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!

RAID 0 with WD Velociraptor's to run Vista
I just purchased the new WD velociraptor drive to put in my Mac Pro 8 core system. I was toying with the idea of buying two drives and then RAIDing them together. Just wanted to see if anyone had any experiences with this and how easy/beneficial it was to use Mac's software RAID. I didn't want to have to get a hardward RAID card. Also, wanted to install Vista 64 on this new RAID. If this is going to be too much of a problem, I will just stick with the one and install Vista on that. From my brief research, seems to be an increase in performance with the RAID 0, but still a single Velociraptor drive seems to perform amazing.
Thanks in advance,
TobySo I guess I made the right choice just buying one drive. Figured it would be too complicated to run Vista on a RAID on a Mac computer. I should still see plenty of boot drive performance increase coming from a standard drive.
Thanks Kappy
