Dell Laptops

I want to use Solaris 8 on a Dell laptop with at least 1024 by 768 resolution. Any recommendations?
[email protected]

I got a Dell Inspiron 5000 notebook PC, of course the latest 3COM 3CCFE575CT-D CardBus PC card fast ethernet card didn't work. I looked at the HCL for Solaris 7 Intel and found that it supports the 3C589, 3C589B, 3C589C, and 3C589D and ran to the neariest CompUSA store but couldn't find any of those cards. The closest one I got was 3CXE589ET so I grabbed the card and tried it. Didn't work. I install the initpcic PCMCIA patch from XiG, the machine hung in the middle of bootup. The last message on the console was about setting the netmasks. Any suggestions?

Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT is defective on Dell laptops; what about Macs?

http://www.macsimumnews.com/index.php/archive/nvidiageforce_8600m_gt_is_defective_on_dell_laptops_what_aboutmacs/
Dell will offer 12-month limited warranty enhancement to all worldwide customers of 15 laptops with defective Nvidia GPUs. These Dell laptops use nine models of graphic processor units, and only one of them is also used on MacBook Pro models (15 and 17 inch models), sold from mid-2007 to now.
It’s the GeForce 8600M GT. What is Apple doing for these customers, and why Nvidia doesn’t say the name of all defective models?

This is a user to user forum. No one here works for Apple so you will not get an answer. You can try to contact Apple directly.

Help with enabling TPM in Task Sequence for Dell Laptops

Hi there,
I would appreciate some advice on creating a task sequence for Win8.1 with TPM enabling for Dell laptops; I have BitLocker set up manually with a Group policy, but want to have TPM enabled in the task sequence. I have read older posts on sites such as windows
noob, but can't see how to reference the CCTK and get TPM going for win8.1 in a SCCM2012 environment.
Obviously I haven't created this before so any help would be appreciated; I have noticed when I try to import my CCTK configurations into SCCM as it isn't a zip file I cannot do it.

Luckily Dell wrote a whitepaper about that subject, see:

How do I import my folders of bookmarks created on a Dell laptop to an Apple iMac and clean up the mess I've created trying to create a new set of folders and bookmarks on the iMac?

I have been unable to find and import from the version of Firefox on my Dell laptop to an Apple iMac the folders containing bookmarked website addresses. In the process, I've created a mishmash of unwanted bookmarks. Please provide me a step by step process to import the folders to the version of Firefox on the iMac. The process to accomplish this seems very awkward and counter-intuitive. The same goes for creating new folders and bookmarking website addresses to those folders on the version of Firefox installed on the iMac.

Chris,
Thanks for the tip about the Firefox Sync feature. A friend and I managed to use the Sync feature to "transfer" the folders of Bookmarked website addresses from the Dell to the iMac. We found that shutting off and rebooting the receiving iMac computer was necessary for all the folders to transfer over. Also, the entire process would have gone more smoothly had we had separate internet connections for the two computers, but we managed to shift our single internet connection between the computers as the Sync process progressed through its steps. Definitely a learning process.
Thanks,
Charlie

Java plug-in does not work on DELL laptop w/ ATI video card

Hello there,
I try to run Java Web Start on my new DELL laptop with ATI mobility radeon 7500 video card. When I run the SwingSet2 App, the whole system locks up, so I have to do a hard re-boot on my laptop. I found that this problem happens to other DELL laptops when I address this issue to my co-workers. Nevertheless, this problem is fixed when I run Java Web Start on some other desktops that does not use the ATI video card.
Have any of your experience this? Does any know any workaround for this problem?
Please help. Thanks.

I bought an iphone 5C and my music from my dell laptop doesn't let me sync my music into my phone. When i first bought it I accidentally pressed don't show again on itunes. How do I download itunes 11.1 or later now? I have been trying for atleast a month, but I can't find any solutions. I had payed a lot of money on those songs and albums, and now I can't even sync it on to my phone. I know it was stupid of me to press that button, but I need help on trying to get it to sync. -Mohima

You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
Go to iTunes on the computer, click on Help, Check for updates to update iTunes on the computer, or go to to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download and install the latest version of iTunes to correct your problem.

How do I connect a mac cinema display to a dell laptop with VGA output?

I need to connect my coworkers Mac Cinema display to his Dell Laptop with VGA out, running Windows 7. We have a VGA to DVi adapter, but it doesn't work. Do we need a different adapter or a driver? Thanks.

DVI-I offered by most computers has support for up to a wider-than-1920 Digital display AND a complete set of VGA signals in it.
If you have an adapter from DVI [computer] to VGA [display] it has no conversion logic in it and should be called a VGA extractor. It will NOT work the other direction.
I think what you need is a better computer or a worser (VGA) display.

All devices on network lose internet connection when Dell laptop connected

I have successfully setup my AEBS network and am using two wireless clients--HP printer and Xbox access point (both 802.11 G) and a wired iMac that also is connected via Airport (so I can move it around if i want). I tried connecting my Dell Latitude D830 wirelessly and within a few minutes of connecting the AEBS loses internet connectivity. Unplugging and restarting the AEBS restores the internet but it just drops off again in less than 10 minutes. My question is, what might be causing this and what can I do about it? One peculiar thing to me is that I am using the WEP security option since the Xbox doesn't seem to support WAP2. When connecting the Xbox it reports the network as WEP but the HP printer and Dell Laptop but suggested the network was indeed WAP even though I'm clearing using WEP security. Maybe it's nothing but wanted to add for completeness.
The Dell is running Vista Enterprise edition.
Thanks for any help.

I've noticed a similar issue. Any time my HP/Vista laptop is connected to my AEBS it loses the network connection at inconsistant time intervals(~10-15 min).

How do I connect my dell laptop from work to my 27 mac monitor?, how do I connect my dell laptop from work to my 27 mac monitor?

I received a 27 LED apple/mac monitor --not the 2011/12 version though.
I want to use with my work computer--a dell laptop. I can't seem to find the right adaptor to connect the two.
I need a dvi port converter that also connects to my vga on my laptop (so need the male end of hte vga since my laptop has the female end).
I only found 1 adaptor but it ends with a dvi on a vga. I don't have hdmi on my laptop either--tried that adaptor as well when I couldn't see on the pic when I ordered that it was hdmi not usb). Please help. I have read so many blogs that say it can be done.

BDAqua,
I'm flabbergasted!     I wasn't aware of that technology. I'll try reading up on it after I get some sleep; maybe I'm just dreaming right now.
Would that kind of device work with my lowly MacBook running Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

How do I move all my itunes playlists from an old Dell desktop to a Dell laptop without losing anything?

My Dell desktop is on its last legs and I need to transfer all itunes playlists from it to my Dell laptop. Please help

Yes I copied the itunes folder. Before I copied it I opened up to see what was in it: album artwork, itunes, itunes media, previous itunes libraries, itunes library extras, itunes library genius, itunes library, itunes music library. After copying and pasting the itunes folder I checked my new laptop and the same files listed above copied over.
When I drill down the itunes folder to the music, it's on my new laptop. When I open itunes and click on playlists, I only have the music that I purchased from itunes. It does not include everything else I loaded into itunes and any other playlists I created.

The file was corrupted somewhere along the way (assuming it was still readable on the Macintosh).
The platforms don't matter, but you still need file transfer that doesn't corrupt files...

I just bought an HD movie on iTunes. Yesterday, I watched all but twenty minutes of it on my Dell laptop. Today, I tried to open it on the same laptop, and it told me my computer can't play HD movies, that I have to view it in SD. What is happening?

I just bought an HD movie on iTunes. Yesterday, I watched all but twenty minutes of it on my Dell laptop. Today, I tried to open it on the same laptop, and it told me my computer can't play HD movies, that I have to view it in SD. The error message said that my computer didn't have the capabilities, but I have several other HD movies that I have always and can still watch without issue. Just this one doesn't work. Why, and do you know how to fix this?

Apparently the display is required to be HDCP compatible to view HD movies in iTunes. My display isn't so this is my problem. I contacted Apple support and they have agreed to credit me for the HD movie and I have now downloaded the SD version.

When using an external display with an iMac, it's called video mirroring - take a look at this Apple article:
