Can you use a digital download of Windows 7 with Bootcamp?

I want to install Windows 7 on my Mac (OSX 10.6.8), but I don't want to go out and buy a disc.
Is it possible to use a digital download if I have the proper registration codes, etc?

That's a pretty typical price (and actually about the lowest I've ever found) for a full install version. The upgrade disks can easily be found under $95, but won't install without access to a previous version. MS does not sell their OS cheap.
You can find copies for somewhat less on ebay, but you have to be very selective. Many are full version copies, but were only meant to be sold with a computer bundle, so there's no guarantee they'll work on all systems. Also very many where the package has been opened. You don't want those. The serial number has already been used, or written down by the seller. Such ads will state things like the serial number has been de-authorized. Bull! You can't do that with Windows. The serial number is tagged to the computer it was installed on. There is no uninstall or any way to de-authorize or transfer the serial number.

Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time.

Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time as either a backup for one and a seperate HD drive for two?

Yes.
From one viewpoint the Time Capsule is just NAS (Networked Attached Storage) and it supports the file sharing protocols necessary for both Windows and Macs.
From the viewpoint of the Macs it can also be used by Time Machine for backups.
As NAS it can be used for storing files, and there are many backup software packages that support NAS on both Windows and Macs.
In addition from a networking point of view it can serve as a router, wireless access point etc.

Can you use surround sound 5.1home theatre systems with iMac 27"?

Can you use surround sound 5.1 home theatre systems with iMac 27"? I was thinking of using my iMac as an internet television as well as home pc. thanks

Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
The Mac puts out encoded 5.1. It is the function of the amplifier, receiver or decoder to take that signal and turn it into something useful. At minimum you will need a device that can accept that output and turn it into something useful.
Most studios that I am familiar with want to be able to use their own 5.1 decoder, amp and speakers. Juicier sound!

Can you use Easynews to download movies etc to IMac and how and where do you save the files?

Can you useEasynews to download movies etc to IMac and how and where do you save the files?

From your Apple menu at the left end of the menubar, select "About this Mac." You get a window similar to this:
1) The Mac OS version is just under the big "MAC OS X" line. Post what that says.
2) We can start to figure out what iMac you have if you post what that the "Processor" line says.
We need to find out because Apple's poor labling choices for this forum, intended for iMacs made before 2006, causes people with newer and much more capable Macs to post here by mistake.
Without some info from you, it's much like your calling an auto mechanic and asking if you can use a certain part without telling him the make, model, or year of your car. Quess what his first question will be? Works the same here.

Can you use and iso version of windows 7 64 bit to install windows through bootcamp?

I saw windows 7 64 bit online cheap and it was and iso. If I put it on a disc, could I use it to install windows through bootcamp?

You can use the iso direct from Bootcamp assistant and put it on a USB if your Mac has the ability to boot from a USB flash drive.
If your Mac has a built in cd drive you will need to burn the iso to disc (as an image) and use that to boot from.

Can you use a text field for email sender with E-mail button

basically i would like to use input information from the user when someone sends an email instead of the default which is to look for a third party e-mail program like outlook. I want to bypass that and possibly use a text field that has the user input their email. some people don't use outlook so it would be nice to bypass that somehow. Is there a way to send email without the whole outlook thing, like not needing a "sender" and instead require them to input email address. I just want to receive the pdf. I am using LIVECYCLE by the way.

Using your own AMS, how can you use BitmapData.draw() on an RTMP stream with no security exception?

We have an Adobe AIR app written in AS3 that can view live video streams from other parties. That being said, when trying to call BitmapData.draw() on one of those remote video streams (technically we're calling ImageSnapshot.captureImage()), we're getting a 2123 error - a security sandbox exception. I've seen a lot of people refer to a real simple configuration in the AMS that will allow this to work for RTMP streams, but they keep posting broken links, links to posts that only vaguely mention this configuration, etc. The one thing I did find is something that I'm having trouble applying:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_SS_ASD/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc9 5e-7ec3.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7fcb
Please don't just give me another link, unless it's to a quick, clear explanation. How do you configure the AMS to allow people to capture screenshots from RTMP video streams? For the above article, I've tried setting videoStreamAccess and audioStreamAccess both to "/", and even it didn't work. We also need to be able to do this for P2P RTMFP streams, but that's really a different question. Thanks.

Can you use a control reference for a graph with two channels of data?

when i try to wire a 2-D array of data to the value property of a graph(strict control reference), it shows a conflict. The value data type only shows up as accepting a 1-D array input. I want to use control references to pass the chart data to my main vi. Will I have to change the waveform graph control reference into an array control reference to make this work?? This would require adding a while loop in the main vi to read the array data and update the graph data??

I think the problem is that your waveform graph is set to take one type,
a 1D array of doubles, and you are wiring a different type. While
charts adapt to type when the data is wired to their terminal, they do
not adapt to data wired to their value property. If you change the
datatype of the graph from its terminal, then you should see the value
property change type also and you are set.

Problem with Windows installation with bootcamp (won't start up)

Hi ! I'm trying to install Windows on my Mac mini for the few programs I can't use on mac. When I restart with bootcamp installation assistant, nothing happens. The blue LED is lit, showing that the computer is on, but the screen doesn't recognize any signal and stays black. For info, it's plugged using Apple's mini DVI to VGA adapter. I don't know how to get this installation to work...
