Can i extract Windows XP pro from Virtual PC 7

Just purchased a new iMac and have installed Lion. I would like to load Windows and run Quicken 2009 using Bootcamp. I have Virtual PC for Mac Version 7. VPC7 has an embeded copy of Windows XP Pro. Does anyone know how to extract Windows XP Pro and load it on my iMac. Will Bootcamp recognize and utilize Windows XP Pro?
thanks for any advice

Yes, you can.
See the instrcutions here http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060527175405403
But be aware that the newer Macs (the 2011 released Macs) no longer support XP or Vista with BootCamp.
Only Windows 7 is supported on these Macs by Apple.

Hi:
If you make your set of W8.1 recovery media in case something goes wrong, you can find the W7 x64 drivers you need for your model at the link below. Do not use any of the BIOS or firmware files from this model on yours.

You will also have to go into the BIOS, enable legacy mode and disable secure boot in order to install and run windows 7.

How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?

Hi there,
How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?
Thanks!

Hi cialbert,
Do you have the install media? If not, you can download Acrobat from here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8 - Adobe. You'll need your Acrobat serial number (see Find your serial number quickly - Adobe).
Note, as well, that the licensing agreement allows you to activate the software on up to two computers. If you've already activated it on two computers, deactivate on one before installing on the new computer (see Activation & Deactivation Help).
I think that should take care of it! Please let us know if you need additional help.
Best,
Sara

I can't start windows 7 normally from Boot Camp

I can't start windows 7 normally from Boot Camp.
It was running fine since I have installed it 7 months ago, but now it can't start or (restart) normally (safe mode is ok). It displays a black screen after showing the logo, and I have to shut down the machine. My Mac system is working fine. Mac technician (Genius Bar) has run a surface scan to verify hd integrity and proofed ok, but could not give any advice on Windows issues.
Please advice if anything I should do before cleaning up my partition and reinstall Windows.

I would guess and sorry for asking but you already tried booting from Windows 7 DVD and doing auto repair?
There are dozens of things to look at and do, and begin with chkdsk in Windows, yes but that only looks at one aspect. You can't really check for bad sectors on a drive's sectors. The best? to use the drive vendor's own utility actually, often with a linux boot CD or Windows program (they don't make Mac OS versions, one reason I first installed Vista over 5 yrs ago)
Restore check points
Uninstall last update or driver
Clean the system of debris temp files, caches, registry errors, fonts and left overs
make sure you have 20% and 12GB free space or more
A hard shutdown can create more problems.

Can I request that by contact to Apple?

Can I extract low quality links from a indd which the links are missing?

Can I extract low quality links from a indd which the links are missing?
That's it...
I've an old file without it's links folder, I was wondering If there was any way to extract low quality images from it to relink them.

@Bernardo – you could export the graphic frame that holds the low res preview to e.g. PNG.
But I would *NOT* re-link them! Place them anew in case someone has geometrically transformed (cropped, rotated, skewed, mirrored) the original ones. Keep in mind that by exporting graphic frames to PNG, fill and stroke properties together with applied effects are exported as well.

Now I am in Thailand. Can i buy Refurbished Macbook pro from US appple store?

Excuse me. I am in Thailand. Can i buy Refurbished Macbook pro from US apple store?

The USA web store requires payment in US funds, from a US source, and with a US billing address for the account. And as Limnos mentions, they do not ship internationally - they will only ship to a US street address (no P.O. Boxes so no re-shipper will work either).

How can I extract a still picture from footage in iMovie, add text to it and print it ?

How can I extract a still picture from footage in imovie, add text to it and print it ?

Assuming you have iMovie 11 (also known as Version 9.0.4), here is how you do it. (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different).
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then use this photo in Photoshop, Pixelmator, Acorn, or the app of your choice to add text.
Here is a demo I made the other day for how to extract the still image using MPEG Streamclip.

HT1338 How can I upgrade my MacBook Pro from OS X 10.5.8 to most recent Operating System ?

How can I upgrade my MacBook Pro from OS X 10.5.8 to most recent Operating System ?
I just bought a Ipad Air and realized than my MacPro does not support Icloud.

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC: Can't Activate Windows 8 Pro after a Factory Reset (Hard Disc reformatted).

Hello:
I had to perform a drastic cleanup of the C-drive of my ENVY 17 Notebook and did a Factory Reset. I was able to reload Windows 8 Pro from my recovery USB drive.
However, Windows 8 Pro cannot be reactivated stating that the Product Key is Invalid or Blocked. I understand this is caused by having the OS drive formatted and completely cleaned.
My questions are:
Will the HP Recovery Disks (which is available for ordering) be able to help solve the above situation?
Will it allow me to reactivate my Windows 8 Pro?
Will the HP Recovery Disks/media contain or marked with the proper Windows Product Key?
Thanks,
Rico.

I can't reinstall Windows Xp pro SP3 from installation disk on my IBM Thinkpad T40

Dear folk,
I have bought used IBM Thinkpad t40 in Germany.
It has Windows XP in German, wich works well but it makes some dificulties while I am using some functions.
I decided to reinstall Windows XP Pro in English.
My Windows XP Pro CD instructed me to install XP from BIOS.
This is how it works.
I got to BIOS by clicking blue button "IBM acsess".
I have got to BIOS released in 15/05/2003.
My Win XP Pro CD instructed me to press Delete to boot Cd-Rom and run Win XP installator.
Meanwhile, pressing "Delete" button did not produce any effect.
I got to Start up menu in BIOS, then I tried to run CD-Rom to run Windows XP from my installation CD.
But it has not produce any effect.
System stayed still.
As result, I can not install Windows XP English version.
Please, hint me how can I reistall Windows XP English on my notebook.
May be something with old BIOS version and I has to update it?
Should I use other menu in BIOS for installation (actually I used all of them)?
Or anything else? Please, advice.
Or I has to learn German? )))
Looking forward for any help.
Cheers
Vittor

Hi and welcome..
leave short your german XP on your T40 ... you need it to update BIOS..
first i prefer to update your BIOS ... Download this T40 BIOS
Version: 1RETDRWW (3.23) Release Date: 2007/07/03
you see this is abit newer ... follow the instructions to update...if update is successfull...you can go in BIOS
look at tab startup ... change startup sequence so that DVD/CD Drive is on first place and usb-device on second and HDD on third you can move this via F5 / F6.. exit and save with F10 ...
Download all drivers that you need from this page and save them on extra USB Stick or external HDD...you will need this to complete your install after XP is fresh installed
T40 Driver Table
Insert your English XP with SP3 in DVD/CD Drive and restart...
if a message comes press space to install from CD ...
follow the instructions.. delete (format drive C: where the german XP is ... and install XP in english..
when installation process is done... look at device manager you see many yellow questionmarks ..no installed drivers... Now use the pre-downloaded drivers from external HDD/USB Device... keep in mind that drivers are compressed when clicking on that the driver first deflates to c:\drivers\win\ [foldername]... sometimes you have to go in the correct folder and start setup to install it for real...
or you can install TVSU ThinkVantageSystemUpdater:
TVSU
that helps you .. but in that case you have to install Wireless or Cable Network first...
i dont prefer this because at this time you dont have a antivirus program ..
a small and good advice is AntiVir you can freewareversion download here
Free Antivir English
So good luck ...with fresh "english XP" on your T40...

How can I install Windows 7 Pro intoa pre-installed Windows 8.1 Envy 23?

Hello...I HATE 8.1...but I saw your marvelous driver list for a laptop, and was wondering if it is similar for a HP Desktop when removing windows 8.1. I've already asked HP for help, but they, alas, are not 'able' to tell me I can even load Windows 7 on the Envy 23. Very nice people, but very limited in information.
I have managed to locate 2 brand new copies of Windows 7 Pro software, plus have one on hand...obviously, until Windows understands that the world does not like phone apps on a computer, we will be needing backup copies!!!
My brand new mess is a HP Envy 23 that I just purchased last Sunday, and detest thoroughly.
I have gotten the backup USB, just in case, but other than wiping the disk (if I can), and changing the boot order (If I will be allowed), and of course, eliminating any extra platforms I might find If that can be done)...what will I need to save from the 8.1 install to make the bits andpieces, likes sound, and color, and whatever work?
And what on earth is UEFI?
Thanks in advance...I know this forum is a labor of love.
Six days in to a 30 day return...Help!
This question was solved.

Knowing the full model of the computer would help, HP Envy 23-xxxxxx
Trying to downgrade your system to would probably void your warranty and provide a challenge trying to find drivers that would work in Windows 7, a real headache.
Should you wish to go that route you would have to disable Secure boot and enable Legacy in order to change the boot order.
It may be easier to keep what you have and make Windows 8 look and feel like Windows 7
