Does the Windows vista cd that comes with new computers work for MAC?

If you buy a new vista computer, it comes with the vista os on a dvd right? well would this dvd work to install vista on your mac, or is there some sort of security issue?

No it will not, as that DVD is designed only to work on the computer it came with.
"is there some sort of security issue?"
No, but it's a legal issue, as even if it did work, you'd be violating the license agreement that accompanies that copy of Vista.
You would need a retail copy of Vista.

    Is the single edition app that comes with creative cloud just for apple publishing or can I publish on both apple and android? I'm only seeing information on apple intergration.

    You’ll need either a Pro or Enterprise account. And you will have to publish any non-iPad app as multi folio. Single edition, regardless of your plan, is iPad only.

  • Does the one year warranty that comes with my phone cover the charging cord ?

    I have an iphone 4S and the charging cord that came with the phone has stopped working. I was wondering if the one year warranty that i have for my phone covers the charging cord ?

    if the cable is damaged you will need any way another one, so call Apple and ask for replacement and in case they recieve the Cable and they find out that it's covered they will bill you and then you will see that the deposit is less expensive then to buy new Cable

  • What are the little plastic pieces that come with iPod Touch used for?

    One piece is white and the other is clear. Can someone show me how to use them?

    The white piece is an adapter that you use when resting your iPod in an iPod dock. The clear piece is a stand that you can put your iPod on when you are charging through you USB cable, or just watching a film, etc. Place it flat on a table, and then place your iPod sideways in the divot.

  • Lost windows vista cd that came with laptop

    Hey guys,
    i own a t500 and i have lost my windows vista cd that came with it. I had planned to reformat my computer. What are my options to get a new copy of this cd? and lets say i wanted to upgrade to windows xp or 7, then which version would I need?
    Thanks a ton guys, i appreciate it.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You probably made your own recovery discs for the laptop using the Rescue and Recovery restore disc creation wizard, which only allows you to make one copy of the discs (unless you made additional copies afterwards).
    You can buy restore discs from Lenovo for Vista, but I would personally just go up to Windows 7; it's significantly better than Vista. If you were to upgrade to 7, you COULD get a set of Vista restore discs + a Windows 7 upgrade disc, or you could just go straight for a retail, full Windows 7 disc. (There are ways of getting an upgrade disc to work without having Vista installed; you'd need the OEM CD-Key on the sticker under your laptop, assuming it hasn't been worn away).
    If you want to go back to XP, you could go for Vista/7 Professional with XP downgrade, which is more roundabout than the Vista+7 update, so you're better off getting some sort of XP restore discs or a retail copy of XP.

  • I have the version of iPhoto that comes with my OS when I purchased my MacBook, but now I can't open it, because it says this, "You can't open the application "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete. Please help I have tons of family photos.

    I have the version of iPhoto that comes with my OS when I purchased my MacBook, but now I can't open it, because it says this, "You can’t open the application “iPhoto” because it may be damaged or incomplete. Please help I have tons of family photos.

    1 - the iPhoto application is an application and does not hole your photos - your photos are in the iPhoto library an dour normal daily backup will back them up so your photos are safe
    2 - what exactly does the error message say? You probably need to reinstall the iPhoto application form the original source
    3 - note that no version of iPhoto comes with any OS - iPhoto comes with all new Macs but not with any OS and most OS versions can run many different versions of iPhoto

  • Does the adobe photoshop elements 11 come with an instruction manual

    does the adobe photoshop elements 11 come with an instruction manual

    Are you just starting with PSE and no previous experience? If so I sympathise because I found the Adobe Help function very frustrating and unhelpful because it is features based rather than functionality in grades of expertise.
    Start with tutorials on the Organiser work space and then Editor work space to familiarise yourself with the functions of the work spaces. However be aware that the you will not grasp full functionality until you have used PSE for a while.
    If you are starting out wanting to process images then I found the concept of "workflow" the most useful way to approach PSE. That is;
    Import images from camera
    Sort images into ones worth processing. I use my camera's software to do this. Use a star rating. (PSE recognises this).
    Import to PSE for processing
    Process RAW images (if applicable).
    Process converted images (PSD of TIFF probably the best). Use guided edit to start with.
    Save processed images to JPEG for printing.
    Hope this helps.

    Are all of the fonts that come with Dreamweaver CS6 licensed for web use?

    I also have Creative Suite 5, which I believe comes with an Adobe set of fonts. Are these all licensed?
    Licensed?  Yes, but not necessarily for the web. Some licenses allow use in print or images but not the web.

In other words, a font owner can say "Sure, you can use my font but you can't alter it, you can't reproduce it and you can't distribute it." On the web, that's a deal breaker because you need to be able to do all three.

  • Does the photography package (Photoshop & Lightroom) come with cloud storage?

    Does the photography package (Photoshop & Lightroom) come with cloud storage?

    Hi
    I'm really puzzled by conflicting information regarding cloud storage. 2GB seems like a really tiny amount. I assume, therefore, that people must only use the package for editing photos and then must use another service to store them in the cloud, as 2GB surely only amounts to about 500 photos, which I'd use in a couple of days. What would people's typical workflow be?
    I'd read somewhere that there's unlimited lightroom web storage, but this seems not to be the case.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

  • Does the 5th gen iPod also come with the fingerprint ID scan ?

    Does the 5th gen iPod also come with the fingerprint ID scan ?

    All the lock schemes on iOS devices are just "privacy locks." If a determined individual with any degree of competence and resources has physical access or control of your iOS device, you're screwed.  For example, there are devices in the hands of law enforcement that can read the data off a "locked" iOS device almost instantly. You can bet there are dishonest people who have access to similar equipment.
    Your real security in this kind of situationi is not to lose your device.  It's a lot like keeping track of your wallet.  If you lose it, you're in trouble, but we're pretty good at keeping track of this kind of thing. Not perfect, but pretty good.
    In other words, the fingerprint scanner is fine, and more convenient.

  • Can I use the songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use/film?

    Can I use the default songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use; such as in a film?

    C. Raio
    We are not Adobe here. Rather user to user.
    In the threads that I have read here the following is the user to user reply on this matter that is seen regarding project assets....Music Scores in this case....
    The Music Score soundtracks are from the Adobe Premiere Elements (12 or 13) Music Score selections within the program.
    And, they can be used in the users choice of export. As for "authorship", I guess you would point to Adobe, Premiere Elements version, Music Score.
    Would the evaluators settle for the above information?

  • What is the version of APEX that comes with DB 11.2.0.2?

    What is the version of APEX that comes with DB 11.2.0.2? Is it 4.0?
    Where can I confirm this, is there a list of DB features and versions for 11.2.0.2?
    Am I correct in thinking there currently a patch for Apex 4.0.2.?
    Thanks

    Hi Will,
    I believe APEX 3.2 is still shipped with Oracle 11g but I could be wrong.
    All the documentation regarding 11g r2 can be found at:

  • Why doesn't the version of Notepad that comes with Java work?

    Something is wrong with the version of Notepad that comes with the j2sdk1.4.2. When I click on my desktop icon I get "Java Webstart Application Manager". I highlight "Notepad App" and continue. Notepad opens up I type in my code. Then I click on "Save" and choose my Java folder to save the file. Now at the bottom it says "Files of type... and it seems to me I should be able to save the file as type Java. But all it says is "all files." When I look in my Java folder the file is there but it just says type "file". Isn't it supposed to be saved as a "Java" file?
    And I still can't invoke the compiler at the command line nor run my program. But I'm going to try it again.

    A java file is a test file with a .java extension. There is nothing special about it.
    If you want an editor try eclipse, this edits,compiles,runs,debugs, refactors and much more.
