Flashing Tool Use with Linux and DOS

OK, I am convinced that I should use the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool on my recently-RMA'd FM2-A75MA-E35. After reading the documentation repeatedly, I still have questions.
I agree that the way to go is to flash from DOS, and I do in fact boot and run FreeDOS from a USB flash drive for video BIOS updates. But my new msi board runs Linux, not Windows, so I cannot execute and install the Flashing Tool the expected way.
1. So I installed the Flashing Tool on my Win7 system, which runs on a Biostar board. Can that cause problems?
2. Can I put the resulting flashing system on my existing FreeDOS boot USB?
3. As I understand it, the Tool will first read and save the existing BIOS code. Is there an easy way to archive all of those saves and not overwrite earlier versions? Is there a way to easily change the filenames in the Tool?
4. On this new board I have on-chip video. Is the video BIOS automatically updated when burning the MB BIOS? Is it updated separately?
Thanks for your help!

The forum flash tool can be run from any computer.
What it does is prepare a bootable use stick. It also places the required flash exectable etc onto the drive and bios. So all you need to do is download whatever bios you wish from msi:
>>MSI Downloads<<
Place it on the desktop of the biostar computer, run the flash tool, point it at the bios then to your flash drive. Then put the flash drive in the other computer, hit f11 at boot and boot to the prepared usb stick.
Then follow the directions.

Should I download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash to use with Lion? My need for Flash is very basic: Google Maps, YouTube, and content on certain websites. Thanks for any help you are able to provide.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I have read so many comments about Flash being incompatible with Lion I was wondering whether to download it or not. So many sites on the Web still require flash, however, you almost don't have a choice but to download it even if it is incompatible. I gather a better version of Flash will be available for Lion soon. Again, thanks for the help. I will download the latest version of Flash.

Comparison of Installing HCM and Campus Solution 9.0 with Linux and Windows

Folks,
Hello. I am installing HCM and Campus Solution 9.0 Revision 5 with PeopleTools 8.53.
PeopleSoft Internet Architecture is WebLogic11g/Tuxedo11g/OracleDatabase11g with OS Oracle Linux 5.10.
In the process of seting up its database instance named "HRCS90" using /opt/PT8.53/setup/PsMpDbInstall/setup.sh, there is a step as below:
Database Create Type:
1) Demo
2) System
3) PeopleTools System
Either select Demo or System, the next step "select PeopleSoft Applications" has only one item:
1) PeopleSoft HRCS Demo Database - US English.
When set up "HRCS90" with SQL Server 2005 and Windows Server 2003, there is one more item: PeopleSoft HRCS Database - US English.
I don't need Demo database. I need HRCS database only because Demo database occupies much more disk space.
The document "PeopleSoft Human Capital Management and Campus Solutions 9.0 Revision 5 Installation Guide" does not state the detailed process to set up HRCS database instance.
I cannot find other PeopleSoft documents regarding set up HRCS database instance.
My questions are:
First, how much more disk space does "HRCS Demo database" occupy than "HRCS database" ? Is there "HRCS database" for Linux and Oracle Database ?
Second, can you find PeopleSoft document regarding the process of seting up HRCS 9.0 database instance with Linux and Oracle Database ?
Thanks.

It could come from how you installed the software itself (options checked). Have a look to that thread, it could help.

HT2589 I have an Apple ID which I had registered years back. I wanted to use the same Apple ID to download apps - but whenever I try to login with that Apple ID, it tells me " "This ID hasn't been used with Itunes", and proceeds to let me "Review" it.

I have an Apple ID which I had registered years back.I wanted to use the same Apple ID to download apps on my ipod touch - but whenever I try to login with that Apple ID, it tells me "This ID hasn't been used with Itunes", and proceeds to let me "Review" it. In the last step, I'm asked to furnish credit card information, which I don't want to, since all I want to do is to be able to download free apps !!

Could the credit card be expired?
Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.

HT204053 I want to be able to setup a generic corporate Apple ID to use with icloud and Find my Iphone, that will allow me to have more than 10 devices assigned to the ID. What do I do?

I want to be able to setup a generic corporate Apple ID to use with iCloud and Find my iPhone, that will allow me to have more than 10 devices assigned to the ID. How do I go about creating this account?

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but if you create a new iCloud account with a different ID your existing ID isn't effected by this. It will continue to work as it does now, you will just have an additional Apple ID. If you have an earthlink email address you can continue to use it as a separate account, and it can continue to be your default account if you set it to be (in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account). If I'm misunderstanding your question, please explain further.

HT3529 How can I get dictation for my iPad for use with email and messaging

How can I get dictation to use with messaging and email?

Apple's dictation requires Siri, which requires a 3rd or 4th generation iPad (or iPad Mini). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5457
Your post says you have a second generation iPad, so it will not have dictation.
There are third party apps available that might help you.

Recommendations for Semi-Pro or Pro HD Video camera to use with fcp and Mac

Recommendations for Semi-Pro or Pro HD Video camera to use with fcpX and Mac with auto settings and ability to override, need to add external mic or 2. Am one person crew so needs to be easy to use.

And check out the Panasonic AG-AC90. Very good specs for a prosumer unit. Everything in the semi-pro area will involve trade offs for sure. Key thing is to study up enough to know what your needs are vs what trade off are involved in the various models. The ag-ac90 trade off (one of them) is diffraction limited sharpness.

Lenovo Wireless Headset W770 compatibility with Linux and Mac

Hi,
Can someone provide me information on Lenovo Wireless Headset W770 compatibility with Linux and Mac distributions. On the product overview page under Software Requirements, only Windows is mentioned. http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?submit=true&componentID=1343112653906&DocID=PD...
Please let me know if the headset can work with other distributions as well.
Thanks & Regards,
Keya
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just received W770 and tried it on a PC and it worked. But when I plug the USB receiver in a macbook air (2011 MAC OS 10.6.8), it didn't work. The message I got is that MAC can't recognize the "keyboard" and asked me to press the shift button on the unrecognized keyboard- which I guess meant that the MAC treated the USB dongle as if it were a wireless keyboard of some sort. Anyway, would appreciate it if you could let me know how to make it work on MAC. The previous statement saying that it would work on any Lenovo machine regardless of OS is kinda of unclear - do you mean that it would also work on lenovo running MAC OS (is there any Lenovo running Mac OS?). Thanks.

Flash video with linux and Shockwave Flash 7.0 r63

I'm trying to get flashvideo working with a simple swf:
message = "";
var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
videoObject.attachVideo(stream_ns);
stream_ns.play("test.flv");
stream_ns.onStatus = function(infoObject)
message += "\r"+infoObject.code;
This is working with windows xp/2003 but not with the version
7 of the flashplayer with linux. The output only shows:
NetStream.Play.StreamNotfound
The move file (test.flv) is located inthe same directory as
the main.swf.
Is flashvideo supported with the linuxplayer?

Hi!
I am trying really hard to do what you are trying to get rid of!
I am new to iWeb and know very little about what coding is, but am trying to get this to happen...
1) have "welcome" page automatically play a very short 2 or 3 second full screen video (heavily compressed I guess?)
2) As soon as the video ends, the actual, static, welcome screen opens / shows itself.
That's it!
But I have no idea as to how to make it happen. Can I copy and paste the code you have in your message? I would really, really appreciate any and all help you can offer.
Thanks!

[SOLVED] Encrypting an external HDD for use on Linux and Windows

I want to encrypt an external HDD. I will normally use it on Linux, but there is a chance I might need to decrypt it on a windows machine, one day.
After searching this forum, the wiki and Wikipedia, it seems that TrueCrypt would be the best solution, but it is, unfortunately, deprecated.
I am not very familiar with encryption, and I've only used cryptsetup, which I think is not compatible with windows.
I would like the option to decrypt on a windows machine without the need to install any software on it, even if the disk will be mounted as read-only.
Thanks in advance.

Switching to AT&T Cingular - best phone for use with Mac and iSync

Dear Friends,
I am finally about to be free from Sprint's poor customer service. I will be switching to AT&T / Cingular. (Not quite ready to buy an iPhone, but don't want to be locked into a 2 year contract with another provider).
I want to use Apple's iSync. I have reviewed the list of compatible devices and scanned the forums for related topics.
I'm still left wondering:
What is the best phone to get with AT&T for use with iSync?
I would like to sync contacts both ways. If possible, syncing cal events and to-dos would be nice, but not as important as contacts.
I prefer small flip phones. I don't plan to buy the Media pack service that includes text, web, etc. Instead, I will use the phone for calls and occassional text messages.
Sound quality and the ease of use are the most important features for me. I prefer raised keys to the flat keypads, but could give on this if need be.
Finally, using the phone as a modem with my laptop would be nice, but is not essential.
Thanks so much for any help you can offer.
David

I am facing the exact same question regarding, e.g., the Nokia 6126. There are several references:
1. Go to the Nova Media web site and look at their new product, Fone Link. Or their iSynch Plugins
2. One of the forum threads references, http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060915154526806
3. Another link I found http://soapbox.co.nz/past/2007/4/9/nokia-6126-and-isync-revisited/
But what I don't yet understand is whether or not any of these suggestions/solutions are affected by the carrier. My understanding is that the 6126 is the North America Version of the 6131. But I talked to ATT/Cingular support yesterday and they make some modifications to the phone software. They don't know if the ATT 6126 will synch with a Mac. Of course they know the answer if synching with a PC (!!)

Formatting Hard Drive to use with TM and Windows

I hope this is not a strange question. I have new iMac with 500GB, and a Windows XP system that I'd like to use with my new eGO 1TB USB drive.
Will this work:
- Partition 750GB for Time Machine
- Partition 250GB to allow my Mac to store files permanantely, as well as being accessible by Windows XP.
I assume that there is a drive formatting process that allows this? In other words can one Partition be 'Mac Only' and the other 'Mac and PC'?
I am hoping that I can unplug the USB from the Mac, and take the eGo to the XP system, and have the 250GB Partition be accessible.
Am I on the right path here?

select the whole drive (model, not name) in disk utility and click on the partition tab. set the number of partitions to two and click on options. in the resulting popup set the partition scheme to GUID. then click on each partition and change the formats to Mac os extended journaled for the first 1 and to MS DOS (FAT) for the second one. finally, hit "apply".
