Has anyone tried upgrading to Windows 8 on the IQ526t?

Purchased the Touchsmart IQ56t in early '09 - it came with Vista and I updated to Win 7 as soon as it was available. Now curious if anyone has upgraded to Win 8 and if so what issues they have encountered. HP does not apparently support Windows 8 on the computer.

Hi!
The updates in Windows 8 are very "sensible". In IQ522 and Envy14 (only 1 Year machine, and top hardware) I had the same issues. The first time, I install the updates one by one.
About Internet Explorer: In Windows 8 there are 2 IE, the Start one (Metro Style) and the one at the Desktop Mode, more "classic". In windows 8, Flash update is crucial (Yesterday Microsoft send out a new one).
In my experience with IQ522, the system gets better every day with new drivers for windows 8.
My IQ522 has reborned...

Has someone tried to install windows 8 on the libretto W100 ?

Hi,
Has anyone tried to download and install windows 8 on their libretto ?
It is said that windows 8 only require an Atom processor and 1GB of RAM to run ?

I've installed windows 8 preview with an acer T230H touchscreen.
I will not install it on the libretto.
The bulletin board is much more intuitiv and flexible than metro.
I'm missing touch flicks on windows 8.
There is missing a start button.
It's for only one screen.
With two screens you have to work differently:
- one screen for the desktop
- one screen for the boards
It's difficult to get applications from metro to the desktop. You can not make photos or videos or snippets. You can not turn the picture or resize them. There is only one board. I don't know how to add weblinks on the metro side. You lose mach time by switching the desktop to metro.
Im waiting for an update of the bulletin board instead of windows 8.
The libretto has a good combination of a Desktop Computer and a smartphone. Windows 8 is neighter a good desktop nor a good board for apps. Neighter Metro nor the Desktop are complete.
Please tell toshiba to upgrade the bulletin board!!! It has much potential and should be opened with an SDK for external extensions and applications.

Has anyone tried driving two external monitors (3 total displays) on the iMac 2011 through the thunderbolt ports on Windows 7 Bootcamp?

I would love to purchase an iMac 2011 with the Thunderbolt ports, but I need to occasionally boot to Windows 7 Bootcamp.
I imagine this will work in general... but has anyone tried driving two external monitors using the Thunderbolt ports in Windows 7 Bootcamp?
Thanks in advance!
Ralph

Hi,
I am trying to get this working at the moment. both monitors are fine in Lion but I am losing the second monitor in windows. I will update you when I get it working.

Has anyone tried home sharing between mac and windows using parallels on the same machine?

I recently purchased a mac, and plan to set up parallels for windows and windows 7 so that I can use the Windows version of Over Drive Media Console from the library and download WMA files in windows (limitation with mac version for wma downloads). I would like to synch to iTunes on the Mac iOS, but will need iTunes available in Windows to transfer the books I download in WMA format from the library to my iphone. Has anyone tried this? Any success or suggestions would be appreciated!

In case anyone is interested, last night I installed Paralells, Windows, Overdrive Media Console on Windows, and then was able to download my book in WMA format. I was hoping parallels would allow me to crossover sync to iTunes on the Mac and have Overdrive recognize that I had iTunes open, but I had to choose Windows or Mac when connecting my phone through the USB and had to choose Windows in order for it to successfully transfer. I was able to get it to work it is now synced to iTunes in Windows. The nice thing was that it pulled in all my music/apps that I had set up in the Mac side, so I didn't have to go through that exercise again. I tested it on my old phone. Now I need to decide if I want to set up my current phone on Windows or Mac, it seems that once synched it only opens the device in windows, I haven't figured out how to force the choice between mac or window again. If I do windows, I can't take advantage of the cloud or iphoto/imovie directly. I'm totally new to mac, but I think I'll have to import my photos manually.

Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks?

Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks? I have finally given up on Dragon Dictate for Mac, which alas, after years of buying every new updated version, is still exceedingly buggy and does not begin to compare in quality to the PC version. I love my Mac, and don't like my PC at all, but the third-party voice dictation software for Mac is so pathetic, that I have wound up dictating on my PC, and then sending it to my Mac: an truly annoying and Baroque process. I was able to train over 120 words in Sanskrit word perfect on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, but on Dragon Dictate for Mac, I can't even get it to train my name. I know this is not an Apple problem, but I'm trying to find a way around by possibly running the DNS version on Windows on my iMac.
I have a hand disability, so I really do need to use voice dictation, both for dictating and navigating on my computer.
If anyone is doing this, are you using Boot Camp, VM fusion, or Parallels? How well does it work? Has anyone discovered anything else I ought to be considering, before giving this a try? I had tried running this on an old on 2008 iMac (with much less power), using Parallels, but it was incredibly slow. Now that I have a much more powerful iMac, I'm wondering whether it would be worth another try. As it will be quite an investment to purchase all this third-party software to get Dragon up and running, I was hoping to get a sense of how well it works, before plunking down the cash. I would be extremely grateful for helpful feedback.
IMac, Mavericks OS X 10.9.4, 3.5 GHz Intel core i 7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DD3, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12, Dragon Dictate 4.0.2

You cannot run a Windows application on a Mac unless you run Windows on the Mac.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
         instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Has Anyone tried running Windows Apps on Tiger/Leopard using Crossover?

Hi,
I had heard that you can run some Windows applications using a program called Crossover.
Has anyone tried Crossover?
I need to run Qimage on my MacPro

It does work, but it can only run programs that have been converted for use with CrossOver. You need to check their site information on whether the program you want to use is available in converted form.
CrossOver hasn't been verified for 10.5.2, although it is certified for 10.5.

There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it.

Has anyone got experience of Windows 10 please ?

Hi,
Aplogies if this is the wrong board, I could not find a better one. I'm sure a CL will move it if it is.
I tried a search for "Windows 10" and all it returned was a post about NetProtect.
Has anyone got experience of Windows 10 please ? Is it better or worse than Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 ?
Best regards,
dfenceman

As the "free" upgrade option is available for a year after the launch of Windows 10, I would advise against being an early adopter. There will be the inevitable initial problems that seem to happen to all new Windows operating systems so I would wait for a few months until any problems/glitches etc are ironed out before upgrading your system.
@barnpiece
and @gg30340
Wise comments, I think.
Upgrading to Vista from XP destroyed a very expensive, and powerful 3d graphics program of mine. It's going to cost another £400+ just to upgrade to the Windows 8 version.
It can be run, with considerable difficulty on Windows 7, in Windows compatibility mode.
For Windows 10, there are similar considerations.
There are posts on the Windows, or perhaps Internet Security websites, assuring us that all will be fixed on the day
Windows states that "most" programs compatible with Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, will be compatible with Windows 10.
Just wait for a while.

Has anyone tried to use the Online Edition of Quickbooks and Tiger?

I work from home as an editor. My employer has just set up payroll using the Online Edition of Quickbooks. When I tried to to login I got this message from Quickbooks:
"For business and tech reasons we designed Online Edition specifically to run on Windows. We do not offer an alternative version at this time. Customers have reported using a PC emulator, such as Microsoft's Virtual PC, to run Online Edition on their Macs. This may decrease application performance in terms of speed. We encourage you to research this approach to see whether it will work for you."
Has anyone tried this?
Also, they set up Online Edition to run with Internet Explorer. I use Safari.

i donot know the server he used in his example. All you need is to
replace the server deployment descriptors he used to weblogic descriptors. then rebuild. go to admin tool--localhost:7001/console
and login with weblogic as username and password
then on ejb you can then deploy the ejb.read on the console.

Has anyone tried to use Labview with VNC

I am trying to use VNC viewer and Labview to remotely code/control labview application. Lots of right clicks dont show up on the VNC. I guess this happens only for Labview and not for other applications. Has anyone tried to use VNC before? is there a workaround?

Just confirmed that each of the above items works properly in our setup, using either WinME or Linux as the controller of the Win98 host. In the 'Connection Options' screen of the controlling computer I have only 'Auto-Select' and 'Emulate 3 buttons' checked. 'Current User Properties' on the controlled computer has only 'Accept Socket Connections', 'Do Nothing', 'Remove Desktop Wallpaper', 'Poll Foreground Window' and 'Poll Console Windows Only' checked. Hopefully one of the above will make a difference.

Has anyone tried creating a plugin that you can type in a specific word, and if it comes up in the very top of the page (i think its refered to as the header) it closes the page or tab automatically?

Has anyone tried creating a plugin that you can type in a specific word, and if it comes up in the very top of the page (i think its refered to as the header) it closes the page or tab automatically? there is a program called POW! by AnalogX that does this, but its only good for IE. And Im a Firefox man. Can anyone look into this or maybe create a plugin that does what POW! does for IE? I will donate to the creater of a plugin that does that. Im so sick of pop ups that most pop up blockers miss.

The Firefox pop-up blocker is very effective. If you are getting a lot of pop-ups in Firefox, you may have picked up some Malware that is causing those pop-ups.

Has Anyone tried to use DDE through Applets

I would like to update a client side opened Excel file via the web using DDE ( Windows protocol used to cut and paste between apps ) and an applet.
I guess that the level of security of the sand-box will limit the interaction with the excel application unless the applet jar is signed and certified.
Has anyone tried to develop such application ?
I didnt go through all the DDE technology yet and I am just wondering if there are some great difficulties to overcome.
Any "difficult to find" hints are welcome
Thanks

Thanks for the hint. A good one as I did not know this link.

Has anyone a solution to two update having the following popup-"We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App store. Please try again later.?" I've tried over 4 days without any change.

Has anyone tried REAL VNC client for Mac OSX? Is it worth the money?

Has anyone tried REAL VNC client for Mac OSX? Is it worth the money?

you should not be getting that many crashes and unlike others here i don't see any strong reason to go to 7.2 other than to get to 7.2.1. i very strongly suspect you have dodgy AU's (probably around 218 of them) and if you have a look at your crash log it should show you why you are crashing. if you see an AU in the crash log it is telling you it is causing headaches. my guess is that upgrading is not going to solve your problems.
just so you know, if everything is running as it should be logic will hardly ever crash. post up the crashed thread from your crash log next time it happens. also make sure that you have the proapp kit latest version.
i know its deeply frustrating when things are going pear shaped. everyone but everyone feels that the stupid thing should just work and gets the over-whelming feeling that apple is supposed to make products that just work, that we paid good money for that level reliability and if it's going to act like this we might just as well have stayed with cheaper PC's. reality is, once you start throwing thrid party's into the mix it is really hard to keep control of reliabillity. if you took logic back to zero 3rd party plugs and in built audio, it would take fanatical fundamentalist to crash the thing. (having said that - i reckon i could)

AVCHD - Has anyone tried using Parallels

Hello,
I have the HDR-SR1 and am just as frustrated as everyone else on this board.
Has anyone tried using Parallels to capture the AVCHD footage in the Windows environment then bringing it into FPC on your Mac?
I tried but couldn't get it to locate the drive. My last solution is the Blackmagic vid card, just wanted to see if this works before I buy one.
cheers
