FYI...Bootcamp 4.0 and Windows 8 installed without any problems.

After upgrading to OS X Lion, I formatted the Windows 7 partition on my MacBook Pro. I downloaded Windows 8 Consumer Preview and created an install disk. I had to insert the disk and boot to OS X, then select the DVD as the startup disk. A re-start booted to the Windows install screen. Windows 8 installed, then I ran the Bootcamp 4.0 drivers from a flash drive. Everything is working just fine...Hope this helps.

Because it does not work properly for me, am wondering if you have tried to create a shortcut to Desktop for your internet connection.
I right-click to disable the connection when not using it, and to enable as required and to see status. This has worked in all previous Windows versions including Windows 8 Developer Preview. I have put the question to http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/w8itpro but gotten no answer.
The way to get a shortcut is to right click the network icon next to sound in the task bar, selecting Open Networking & sharing. When there, select change adapter settings. In resulting screen, right-click your active internet icon & select Create shortcut - answer yes to get it to desktop.
You can drag it to taskbar to keep desktop clear. My problem is that while right click option allows disable, with next right click there is no enable in popup so I have to select open file location and left click adapter to enable it.
Wondered if it might be related to Bootcamp, Apple drivers somehow.
Otherwise everything is fine and TV with set top box works in Windows Media Center which is one up on Windows 7 Pro.

Whatever you read was incorrect. You can upgrade directly to Mavericks. It is in the App Store and is free.
Snow Leopard predates the operating system you already have. That's the reason it will not install on your MacBook Air. You spent $20 needlessly for it, but it's yours to resell if you wish.

I had to have computer wiped clean and Windows 7 installed I've downloaded Itunes but my music is not there anymore. H

Recently had laptop wiped clean and Windows 7 installed. Downloaded I tunes again but can not pull up any of my music. Help please. Very computer illiterate!

Who wiped it? Did they make backups first? If not, then you've lost everything and not just itunes.
Do you at least have anything on an ipod?
If so, you can reinstall itunes and use the Transfer Purchases feature:

How to distribute my windows phone 8 app and windows store app without publishing in the store

How to distribute my windows phone 8 app and windows store app without publishing in the store
any business license or enterprise license needed..
I am a windows developer talking behalf of my company i.e wipro
I have a question about the enterprise license and we are building an app for the limited users i.e our company employees and users and we do not want to publish in the store
How to release the app?
what are licenses etc needed?

Hi,
for developers distributing apps without Publishing in the Store, the sideloding Enterprise key license through volume licensing is required.
Starting May 1, 2014, customers who want to enable sideloading will be able to purchase an Enterprise Sideloading key for $100 through the Open License program.
An unlimited number of devices can be enabled for sideloading using this key.
thanks

I am thinking of buying a iPad but my main desktop machine uses Windows 7 and MS Office. How easy or difficult is it to transfer data files between the iPad and Windows? Are there obvious problems or the need for some form of conversion programs?

You don't need conversion programs, iTunes can copy most of your content over to the iPad via the file sharing section, and some apps also support Dropbox, email attachments, transfer via your wifi network. There are a number of apps that you can get that support Microsoft office file (microsoft don't make an app versions of their software) e.g. from Apple there are Pages (word support), Numbers (excel) and Keynote (powerpoint), and from third-parties there are apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD

I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

MacBook Pro does not boot when 'cold', Windows 7 on the other hand boots without any problem

Hey everyone,
I have a strange problem with my MacBook Pro mid 2009 13" running OSX Mavericks. For more than a year I have trouble booting my laptop. A 'cold' start (a fresh boot) usually ends with the prohibition sign on a grey back ground (starting in verbose mode results in the error message that the main drive could not be found). So far so strange.
I have Windnows 7 installed as a bootcamp partition. If I start the laptop with Windows booting is no problem and Windows runs smoothly (what a terrible world we live in). If I let the laptop run for let say 10 minutes and restart the laptop Mac OS starts without any problems. (It doesn't work if I immediately restart after windows booted; also reinstalling Mac OS as a clean install from an external medium did not change the problem; disk utility always finds something to repair but neither discpermission repair nor disk repair got rid of the problem).
As an additional comment a WD 500GB Scorbio Blue replaced the original hard drive about a years ago. I had no problems with the hard drive initally and I can't really believe that there is a problem with the hardware, I mean, why does Windows start and Mac OS doesn't?
Thanks for your time and help!
Marco

This isn't a direct answer to your issue but have you considered installing Wine so you can run the occasional windows app directly in OSX? It's a much more elegant solution IMHO. This avoids restarting all the time with Bootcamp and avoids crashing all the time (and the security risks) with Windows running.

I'm trying to access a forum that requires a user name and password. When I do it on my mac it tells me the password is incorrect but when I do it on my iPad, I can access it without any problem. I can confirm the username and password are the same

I am trying to access a forum for which you need a username and password but it keeps telling me the username/password i've entered are incorrect. Bizarrely, when I enter the same username/password combination on my iPad, it grants access without any problem.
What could be causing this, is it an issue with cookies, caches or similar. How can I resolve it? The forum administrator is at a loss as to what the problem is.

Try the following steps in Safari to see if they help:
1) First try clearing the Safari cache. To do this pull down the Safari menu and select 'Empty cache...', then try logging into the site again.
2) If the issue continues then reset Safari by pulling down the Safari menu and select'Reset Safari...'. You will be presented with a list of items that can be reset. I suggest selecting the 'Reset saved names and passwords', and 'Remove all website data' options at a minimum.
Here is a list of the options and what they do. I pulled it from the Safari help page.
Clear history:
Clears the list of webpages you viewed.
Reset Top Sites:
Clears any changes you made to Top Sites, such as adding or pinning sites. If you also clear your history, your Top Sites page reverts to showing the webpage previews displayed when you first installed Safari.
Remove all webpage preview images:
Clears any thumbnail images Safari saved of webpages you viewed.
Clear the Downloads window:
Clears the list of files you downloaded from websites. Only the names are removed; the files themselves are still on your disk until you remove them.
Remove all website icons:
Removes website icons, which are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the Safari address field and bookmarks list, and other places. These icons are stored on your computer.
Remove saved names and passwords:
Removes user names and passwords that Safari automatically fills in at websites that require them (if the AutoFill feature is turned on).
Remove other AutoFill form text:
Removes some personal information, such as telephone numbers, that Safari uses to automatically fill in forms on webpages (if the AutoFill feature is turned on). Removing AutoFill information does not remove information from your address book.
Close all Safari windows:
If you don’t close all Safari windows, someone could use the Back and Forward buttons to view the webpages you visited.
Reset all location warnings:
Clears any information websites saved about your location.
Remove all website data:
Removes cookies, tracking information, and other data that websites stored on your computer.

Quick time 7 installs without any problems (Windows 7) but it won't at all... help please.

I've installed Quick Time 7 without any problems (Windows 7 - PC) but it won't run at all. QuickTime Player or PictureViewer. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times also selected "repair" from the uninstall menu. Their are no error messages when I try to run Quicktime. Any ideas?

Okay. It's not likely to be a display preference issue then.
We'd better check to see if some other application has stashed old versions of QuickTime componentry down in your system files. (Error-mesage-free launch failures can sometimes be a symptom of that.)
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

FYI...Bootcamp 4.0 and Windows 8 installed without any problems.
