DVD copy of Windows 7

Hello
I recently bought a new computer with WIN 7 64 bit. AND I've had problems for a few days to update my Windows, because it lacks a file service, BITS. When I bought my computer I have not received the installation DVD of Windows because it was preinstalled. But I still have a DVD copy of Windows.
How do I do to get one with the license number of my Windows?
Thank you in advance.
Carine

New notebooks are delivered with preinstalled operating systems but without DVD media.
Installations disc you must create alone using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator.
The shortcut for this tool you can find on the desktop.
Please create this DVD as soon as possible. This DVD can be used for OS installation. This preinstalled version will be activated and you don't need licence key.

If you want to, but you can get Windows for less than that.

I copied a lot of photos from an iphone to a DVD using a Windows 7 laptop, now I cannot access those photos on the DVD. HELP!

I copied a lot of photos from an iphone to a DVD using a Windows 7 laptop, now I cannot access those photos on the DVD. HELP! In Windows Exlporer I can see the data on the disk in the details but when I click on it nothing appears as if there is nothing on it.

It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

Yeah. I remember when I had that board. I found the best SATA ports were the Promise ones, but...
What do you think, Tiresmoke? You had the same board too if I'm not mistaken.

Where can I buy a retail copy of Windows?

I just bought Parallels Desktop 8 From Amazon, and thought I was also ordering a copy of windows seven. But when the package arrived, Windows 7 turned out to be an OEM version with the warnings all over it saying that it had to be preinstalled on a computer and only used with having also bought a computer. I haven't ever bought a Microsoft product before, and I assume that that operating system is similar to the OS that comes with a Mac computer. In other words, you can only use it with that one computer. I returned it to Amazon for a refund, I don't really understand why they even have that for sale if you can't actually use it. In any case, can anyone tell me where I can purchase a retail version of Windows 7 or Windows 8 that I can install on my Mac to work with parallels?

This is a link to what I bought on Amazon:

I'm copy pasting in the description, minus the box picture, in case that link doesn't work.

Has the following product description. When I first ordered this I didn't scroll down far enough to see this description, only saw it on the box when it came and I didn't understand it. But after your explanation, I think it means I can use it. Would appreciate your guidance.

"Build 6002: This copy of Windows is not genuine"

Hi everyone..
I have had my TOSHIBA Satellite L40-139 for over a year. It was bought from PC World and came with a pre-installed version of Windows Vista Home Premium. I do not have any of the disks that came with the laptop but the Windows installed is genuine.
I went to install Vista Service Pack 2 having downloaded it. I restarted my laptop only to find my desktop wallpaper had gone and been replaced with a black background and the following in the bottom-right corner of the desktop:
Windows Vista (TM)
Build 6002
This copy of Windows is not genuine
This was followed by a pop-up window with two options, 'Activate Now' or 'Activate Later', followed by an error pop-up that says Windows must be re-installed as an "Unauthorised change has been made...please insert CD or DVD". If I press 'Activate Now' it just goes to another pop-up that says I can contact TOSHIBA. If I click the link it just goes to a standard 'Help' screen!
I don't know what to do..I have the COA product key sticker intact and have tried entering it but it just comes back with various errors. It's as if as soon as I installed service pack 2 I've had problems. Again I do not have Vista or a toshiba recovery disk (I don't even know if it came with one). I have tried restoring Windows but it just returns with the same screens!
HELP!!
PS. Is the Toshiba support line a free number? Does anyone know a number that is free to call from mobiles? (I do not have a landline).

> As per my first post I do not have a Recovery DVD as mine didn't come with one..I take it I must be doing something wrong and there is another way to sort this? Even the Toshiba product spec states that no recovery DVD comes with it.
As per my first posting I wrote clearly that new notebooks dont come with recovery discs but with HDD recovery only and you must create recovery disc alone. Everything is described in Users manuals document. If you dont read it and dont pick up info about your notebook I cannot help you about it.
If you cannot start HDD recovery installation as described in Toshiba document then something must be screwed up. Why? I dont know.
You can try method posted by Paolo but if this will not help you must install OS again or activate preinstalled version. If you dont have possibility to install original recovery image you can order new disc under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or try to clarify situation with nearest Toshiba service. Call them, explain the situation and maybe you will get one for free.
Sorry but I dont know what else to say.

Where can I get a copy of Windows 7 if I have a product key?

I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. I had various problems doing the upgrade. I need to re install Windows 7 but do not want to first install Vista again.
Will Microsoft give me a version of Windows 7 that I do not need to upgrade from Vista?
Is there anywhere else I can get a copy?
Machine Type: M90z AIO ; Product: 3091CTO (Custom), CPU: i5-650, Video Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics, Memory: 4.00 GB,

Here are two pages with official Microsoft Windows 7 download links which everyone should bookmark:

Burn the .iso file onto a DVD and keep a copy of Windows 7 in a safe place in case Microsoft decides to pull these links or make them hard to find again. (Which they may do, since they're pushing half-baked Windows 8 so hard ). I have 32-bit and 64-bit copies of all major Windows 7 versions handy to install retail keys purchased or O.E.M. keys on machines I have purchased, as I don't plan to pay Microsoft another dime. Nor do I plan to switch over to "buggy" Windows 8 with its wAcKy-looking, pOOrly-designed, not very "charm"-ing interface.
Windows 7, on the other hand, was well-planned and well-executed and will serve me just fine for a few more years to come.
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

Multisession data DVD burned on windows don't show the folders on Mac.

Hi,
I think that is a well discussed thread but I weren't able to find anything at this concern on google and this forum.
I've burned a multisession data DVD on Nero (windows XP). That DVD already have files burned and is multisession. After burn it, the folder that I'd copied on PC don't show up on Mac. Is there a way to burn that files on windows that can be recognised on a Mac? Is this a question of burn format? The parameters of copy on Nero was keep as default.
Thanks in advance.

It seems like Mac OS X doesn't support multisession-burnt DVDs, no matter how you put them together. In the best case, you'll only be able to see the first session. Finalizing DVDs has no impact on Mac OS X ability to read them completely.
I learnt it the hard way when switching from Ubuntu to Mac OS X, while on the first, Nero-burnt DVDs would read flawlessly, finalized or not. I ended up being forced to burn back around 120 DVDs in one session in Nero.
So far, Apple doesn't seem to have any plan in supporting multisession DVD burning and reading in OS X. As they have a tendancy to ditch obsolete technology sooner than others, I wouldn't hold my breath on it. On a personal level, this lack of support has made my hard drive space needs skyrocket, as I'm no longer able to incrementally burn DVDs, as I always did in Windows and Ubuntu.
Hope that helps.

Copying a Windows CD

I have a Windows application install disk that I want to duplicate for backup purposes. I have copied it with Disk Utility (creating an image and then burning it). The resultant disk looks fine with Finder, but if I move it to a Windows machine, or if I look at it with VM Fusion on the same machine it was written on, then it appears to be blank. What is going on here (I've tried two disks) ?

I would copy it on a Window Box to be sure. Just as I would not copy a Mac CD or DVD on a Window >Box. It might work, but why not use the proper machine to start with?
It's just that I have a house full of Macs and all my PCs are at work 200 miles away. However, I do run VM Fusion on my Mac so can you suggest CD copying software that will work under that - I assume that I wouldn't have a format problem then.
That should work fine. It's not the optical drive, it's not really even the OS, it's that the Finder/DU burner is not a full-fledged burner. I am not knocking it, but burning is just a small item, like an add-on. That's the reason many of us use Toast.
I have not used the XP built-in burner in years. Even on the PCs I used a 3rd party roaster - Nero, whatever. If you have any R/W CDs, try them - at least you don't lose anything if a coaster pops out I always use R/W CDs and DVDs when trying out new things.

Problems installing orginal copy of Windows.

DVD Copying Program?

I don't seem to find any good DVD copying programs for the Mac. I have an immense amount of personal DVD's that I need to copy for my own personal archive. There are dozens of programs for windows such as DVDFABHD and DVD SHRINK. I have tried MacTheRipper and have had no success in the DVD copying process. Are there any good programs out there for the Mac that decrypt DVD's and copy them? Thanks.

That may cause a problem. If you are ripping protected DVD, you will be in fact infringing copyright law.

I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard.

I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. But my Snow Leopard install disk is too old for Windows 7, so attempted Boot Camp install of drivers fails.
I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.

Dear Nathan,
Many thanks. To the best of my memory, that is how I got where I am today. Initially I had one failed setup, then discovered compatibility mode and ran using it. The result was not an obvious failure, but something was not there because not only were some drivers missing (wi-fi, trackpad, ...) but (much to my disappointment) the 3.1 update would not run. It complained that 3.0 wasn't there. If I hardwired to my home network, the machine would do almost everything I wanted, but the graphics were slow and clumsy. That is when I hunted around for the NVidia driver and downloaded it from NVidia. And that is where I stand now.
My son found this link http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/01/15/using-boot-camp-to-install-windows-7-on-you r-mac-the-complete-walkthrough/
which has instructions claiming to do the install straight to Win 7 without using compatibility mode.
Given that my clumsy efforts to patch things up have probably necessitated a Win 7 deinstall and reinstall to test either your plan or the one my son found, I am inclined to sit tight for a couple of days to see how much I can learn.
I appreciate your interest in this problem, and if you are up for reading the process at the link my son found and commenting, I would be grateful.
In any case, many thanks, Paul

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Boot Camp. There's a Boot Camp Support Community where everybody uses Boot Camp. You should also post this question there.

TS4123 This is not correct solution. I have fresh copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem. Autorun only shows the Bonjour service. It started when try to sync more than one iphone.

This is not correct solution. I have fresh/new copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem.
Autorun only shows the Apple Bonjour service. It started when try to sync more than one iphone over WiFi. I have two iphones and an iPad. I turned off syncing over WiFi and still has high CPU utilization. One of the CPU's is pegged at 100%. It is the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe process.

For the record, I then followed the suggestion of MarcDCMB in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4291206 of just manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device service in Windows services.msc once each time after starting iTunes and the service no longer hogs CPU after that service restart. Not too painful as a work-around, and apparently an effective one, but clearly not a solution to the problem. Again, as above, all the other solutions didn't work for me and I have no conflicting software as far as I can tell. So you'd have to say this Apple's problem.
Also FTR, I am still on the 5.2.0.6 version of the Apple Mobile Device Support MSI and I don't know if that is relevant to this work-around working but my sense is that it is NOT relevant. I'll report back on this thread if I re-upgrade and the problem returns in spite of the service-restart approach.
