Can Someone Explain Crossover and WINE to me ? (want to Download .exe)

i have Crossover by Codeweavers for Mac, and the APPLE store suggested i download Wine for mac
i want to download some .exe files my Windows Friend suggested to me
in Crossover every time i open it it RE-Installs the Application (Photoscape), what i want is a Desktop Icon of the Application that may just prompt Crossover when i click on it.
Wine was even less user freidly the app wont bounce on the dock and when i do get it open it has no directions on how to download
all i want to do is download an exe like i download a dmg file i do NOT want to get involved with Windows OS/BOOT camp/ or a virtual window
i just have a handful of .exes that i want to download (and Work) and possible get OE as a newsgroup server (OE preferably but not IE)
thanks in advance

  • Have iTunes version 10 .3 but do not understand cloud in iTunes 11.03 can someone explain it and also how do you find duplicates in new version and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which I have had for 4 years

    I have iTunes version 10.03 which I love but my iPad Apple mini has iOS 7 but I don't understand the new iTunes what is the cloud shown next to the music and how can I find duplicates can anyone help me navigate the new iTunes and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which is 4 years old

    The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
    In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
    View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
    The cloud icons give you access to stream or download any qualifying past purchases that you don't currently have downloaded to the library.
    Regarding duplicates, things haven't really changed. Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
    Yes, iTunes 11 will support your iPod classic.

  • Can someone explain 'Sync' and how it sends mail

    I've lost a lot of emails
    Heres the scenario.  Between the hours of 9pm and 4pm (work days) I disable Sync and Email Sync. So lets start with MSN (others)
    Its 9pm, I launch MSN (others) email application, I hit refresh one last time, then I go into settings, account settings etc etc and uncheck the box that says 'Sync Email'
    Next since I have a google account I also go into settings and uncheck the box that says 'sync email'
    Then so I can get the full battery life possible I pull down my notification menu and select all and uncheck the radio button that says 'Sync'...and that lasts from 9pm as I sleep...and my work shift is like 7am to 4pm (ish) and then I will re enable it all.
    Now lets say at 10am I'm going thru twitter and theres an article thats a long one and I want to read it when I get off work....I hold down the tweet and see an option that says "Share", I select Gmail because I prefer reading it off of MSN (my choice!) anyways, I can go thru and select a lot of stuff and share it, by sending an email.
    Now heres the thing....I know if I were to launch my MSN Mail at 10:05am I wont get it, duh! because I have Sync off right? So once I enable each of the emails' Sync Option and enabling the Device' Sync option....I then will receive the email or emails...which I do...every single time and by everytime I mean 10 emails sent by me, per day (ish) every day for over a month.
    Now....heres my problem
    I was viewing web pages...I chose Share....I chose send via MSN to GMail (odd I know)...but prior to enabling Sync I actually performed a Factory Reset on Device/Phone...so it was like a brand new phone...
    However once I enabled Sync and refreshed a few times I havent received the emails nor am I finding it in the "drafts or sent folders"
    So I ask....what is the proper steps my phone is taking that somehow sends these "ghost emails"
    Heres my theory: I mean lets say I view a webpage; all sync's are disabled; I choose 'Share to this email address'...does my phone create a file on Devices Memory and its called "sendemail1togmail.mail" and if I choose to share another webpage it creates another file called "sendemail2togmail.mail" meanwhile those are temp files...kinda like temporary files when you are downloading a file off a webpage. (aka Partial)....then when you enable Sync on all of them...it searches for any .mail files off the device and thus sends it appropriately??????
    If so; great where do the files get saved to? Because next time I'm either keeping sync on or I'll just copy the files to my SD card then I'll copy it back again
    Because either way...I dont have the emails I sent
    Thanks

    sync doesn't send emails, only synchronizes between pc & phone.
    yours is the goofiest way of syncing i've heard of.
    i sync 4 email acc'ts, 2 are pop3, yahoo & gmail & they all work as you'd expect.

  • Can someone explain how to set up an administrator account so that I can have my phone and my daughters have separate apple ids?

    I mistakenly updated to the latest version of iOS and ever since then I can send messages to my daughter and I receive them but she does not.  She has an iphone also and her phone is under my apple id also.  Someone told me that I could set up an Administrator Account so that she can still be under my account but she has her own ID and that will fix the problem with text/imessages.  I can't find anything on the website that explains how to do that.  Can someone explain that to me?
    Thanks!

    I'm still not clear on what you are trying to accomplish. If you have an iPhone and she does as well you should have your own Apple IDs.
    If you want to pay for any purchases she makes with her phone as far as apps/music goes than that is what Family sharing is for.
    In my case my Wife and I are setup for family sharing. When she purchases music/apps it charges my credit card. This setup also allows me to share my past music/app purchases with her and vice versa.

  • I have downloaded ios 5.1.1 and the wifi has stop working or it would stay on for less then 20min its only 9 months old can someone explain what is happening and if some know how to fix it

    I have downloaded ios 5.1.1 and the wifi has stop working or it would stay on for less then 20min its only 9 months old can someone explain what is happening and if some know how to fix it

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Can someone explain what DHCP is and how I do I connect to WiFi  hotspot?

    Can someone explain how a wireless network/router with an internet connection allows computers with a wireless card to connect to the internet? For instance, In an internet cafe with WiFi, how does my macbook get the IP address for the ISP that the cafe uses to allow me to open a webpage with Safari? What is DHCP and how should I set my internet preferences to allow me to use a network other than my own.
    The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe. Can see the network but not connect.

    Most Internet Cafes utilize DHCP to dynamically provide a wireless client with an IP address for that session. DHCP is a protocol used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server. It facilitates access to a network because these settings would otherwise have to be made manually for the client to participate in the network.
    You Mac's AirPort, in turn, is set up to be a DHCP client by default. This allows your Mac to accept the dynamically provided IP address information from the Internet Cafe's DHCP server.
    The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe.
    It sounds like the AirPort settings that your Mac is using is no longer at their default settings...and my be the reason you cannot connect to the Internet at the Cafe...or, the Cafe has additional settings required. I suggest that you check with the Administrator of the particular Internet Cafe you're having trouble connecting with to find out what settings are necessary to use their wireless network.
    A typical AirPort is set up as follows:
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    - Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
    - Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
    Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
    AirPort tab
    - By default, join: Automatic
    TCP/IP tab
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    - Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Proxies tab
    - Configure Proxies: Manually
    - Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
    - Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
    - Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
    - Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

  • Can someone explain purchasing, activating and signing up for iPhone.

    Hi, iPhone hits UK in November and I'd like to be prepared. Can someone explain to me how it's going to work. In the USA where do you buy the phone - the Apple store, and what do you do just walk in a buy the actual phone as if it were an iPod? And then how does activation work? What is it, just registering the iPhone with Apple or signing up with the network provider? What stops you from just buying the phone and putting another AT&T or O2 sim in and not signing up for one of the contracts?

    Presuming that it will look pretty much the same as it did for US customers, it will be something like this..
    You walk into your local Apple store and purchase an iPhone, or you can order one through the UK online Apple store (or, presumably, O2 will sell them in their local shops).
    You connect the iPhone to any computer which meets the minumum system requirements. It will recognize a new, unactivated iPhone and take you through the activation, which includes:
    1. Entering your name, address, and payment info
    2. Create an iTunes Music Store account if you do not already have one
    3. Select which type of call plan you want (how many call minutes, how many text messages, etc)
    4. Specifying whether you want a new number assigned or want to port your number from another provider (assuming this can be done in the UK)
    You will then wait while the activation is completed, which can take several minutes. Once your phone is activated you will be able to make calls, send text messages, and use all the other functions of the iPhone, including syncing your contacts, calendars, and music to it. If you are porting a number from another service, once the port is complete you will be able to receive calls. If you are being assigned a new phone number, you will be able to receive calls right away.

    Apparently this UDF takes two optional parameters so that one
    can define
    (A) a text "qualifier" to use in the CSV file, this is
    usually the
    single quote|tick ['] mark - but sometimes one wants this to
    be a
    different character and (B) what columns to use in the
    output in case
    one does not want to use all the columns in the record set
    in the
    outputted CSV file.
    The if statements are checking for these optional parameters
    and if
    found setting the values in them to internal variables.
    These
    variables are then used in the rest of the logic to create
    the CSV output.

  • Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

    Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

    When you enable photo stream on your Mac, in imports photos currently in your photo stream.  However, photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them.  When you enable photo stream on your Mac, you will only receive photos added in the last 30 days, as the others are no longer in your photo stream.
    If you want to get all your old photos on your Mac, save them to your camera roll (if they aren't already there) by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once they are in your camera roll, import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Another option would be to create a shared photo stream containing the older photos and invite yourself (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).  Then check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and you will see this shared photo stream on your Mac.

  • Can someone explain this difference in Mac vs Win policy ?

    I can download a MathScript module for evaluation with the Windows evaluation version, but for the Mac, I have to first buy LabVIEW (the module is free, just can't be evaluated). Can someone explain the logic behind this nonsense ?

    NI's activation platform doesn't work on the Mac or Linux operating systems. We created a "special" evaluation version of LabVIEW for the Mac, but after the 30 days, it requires you to uninstall it and install the regular version of LabVIEW, which doesn't have activation.
    VISA is offered as a free download because it a device driver, and by practice, all of NI's device drivers are free. However, the MathScript RT Module is an add-on for LabVIEW. The reason that the Mac and Linux versions are free is because we don't have LabVIEW Real-Time for Mac or Linux, and the real-time capabilities for the LabVIEW MathScript RT Module are the primary reason for the cost of the Module in the first place. This ability to deploy custom .m files to embedded hardware, and run them deterministically, as well as the plug-in tools to do profiling and testing, is a huge differentiator for MathScript on the Windows platform. However, that functionality doesn't exist on the Mac or Linux platform.
    The reason you can't download the Module is because we need to be able to track who the users are. Each new release of LabVIEW brings a new version of the MathScript RT Module, and we physically mail the new media to all of the users who have "purchased" the free Module, just like with any purchased Module. If we simply said go download it, then each person would have to go re-download it with each release.
    "Go stuff yourself" is certainly not the intention. You will be able to use the Mac version of MathScript (free) on the evaluation version of LabVIEW for Mac. To find this version, navigate to http://www.ni.com/trylabview/ and choose to "See Download Options". The mac version is linked within this page.
    I hope you find this information both helpful and satisfactory.

  • Please can someone explain how to delete email addresses?  I have people who when I type in their name it comes up with the correct email address but then when you hit return to confirm it promptly changes the name to someone else (always the same someone

    Please can someone explain how to delete and email address that when typed in brings up one name but when you hit return to confirm it jumps to another name.  I can't find them in my contacts list but they do come up when you type the first few letters of a name.
    EG If I type xyz and the name of the person comes up, when I press return to confirm that's the one I want then it jumps to [email protected],  always the same def address.
    I can't fathom it out.
    Thanks
    Terri

    Try this:
    Start a new email.  In the To address bar, type in xyz like you normally do, press return to confim, and when the address you want to remove shows up in the address bar, move your cursor over the address you want to delete.
    A small triangle next to the name will show up.  click on it, a drop down menu will open, click Remove from Previous Recipients List.  Then do the drop down menu again and Remove Address.
    Good luck.

  • Trying to understand RSTP - Please can someone explain this?

    Hi Group
    I am still confused about how RSTP is implemented. From what i understand the major difference is that STP
    used Timers for Loop prevention whereas RSTP coordinates between neighbors via messages (proposal/aggreement) to turn on links
    more quickly after topology changes and is "timer free".
    However, I have not noticed any difference in the configuration from the legacy STP
    configurations and the RSTP configuration on cisco devices. Or are there any differences??
    I have read in documentation that RSTP natively includes features like UplinkFast, BackboneFast and PortFast. So are these features now obsolete
    and not needed to be configured if you are running RSTP. (Although i have seen Portfast still configured along with RSTP on many switches)
    Also can someone explain the below Points from Cisco Documentation
    1) should STP be disabled on edge ports all together as suggested below?
    "STP edge ports are bridge ports that do not need STP enabled, where loop protection is not needed out
    of that port or an STP neighbor does not exist out of that port. For RSTP, it is important to disable STP
    on edge ports, which are typically front-side Ethernet ports, using the command bridge
    bridge-group-number spanning-disabled on the appropriate interface. If RSTP is not disabled on edge
    ports, convergence times will be excessive for packets traversing those ports."
    2) It seems RSTP relies on duplex setting to determine inter-switch links. What is the configuration to explicitly
    configure RSTP link types? (I couldnt find this in the documentation)
    "RSTP can only achieve rapid transition to the forwarding state on edge ports and on point-to-point links.
    The link type is automatically derived from the duplex mode of a port. A port that operates in fullduplex
    is assumed to be point-to-point, while a half-duplex port is considered as a shared port by
    default. This automatic link type setting can be overridden by explicit configuration. In switched
    networks today, most links operate in full-duplex mode and are treated as point-to-point links by RSTP.
    This makes them candidates for rapid transition to the forwarding state."
    Also i am a bit rough on my RSTP knowledge even after skimming a few Cisco documents. Can someone please explain this in simple way.
    Thanks in advance

    to configure it on a device:-
    spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
    PortFast/UplinkFast & BackboneFast were cisco "Enhancements" to 802.1d STP. RSTP just incorperates them. If you want to configure portfast, the command is still "spanning-tree portfast"
    OK
    1) That is your choice - I have bitter experiance of users/IT admins just plugging hubs/switches in when ever they can. Also cabling the switch back to itself creating a cabled loop. So my advice to you is to leave STP enabled on all switch ports, BUT enable BPDUGuard - this is a life saver, if you have configured portfast.
    2) duplex auto! or duplex full (overiding)
    I really suggest that you read the 802.1d standard, once you understand normal spanning-tree - RSTP will come to you.
