Help please with parallels/vista question--what is this on my desktop?

Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this or not, but I don't know where else to ask.
I installed Parallels 4.0, then Win Vista. The vista is the Home Premium 32-bit version. It all seemed to go OK, I guess. But now over on the right hand side of my desktop, where I have several icons of documents, programs, and my Macintosh HD icon, there seems to be some sort of barrier, and I can't click on any of those items. When I have my cursor inside that area I see a definite demarcation line. There is a new icon in there called "[C] Windows Vista".
FWIW, I did not use Boot Camp; I only wanted to go through Parallels.
Is this a problem? Did I do something wrong? How do I get to those icons?
Hope this makes sense, and that someone knows what I'm talking about.

Thanks for the info. I tried to find a copy of XP Pro, as that is what I really wanted. Unfortunately, I needed this on fairly short notice (to be able to work in Windows) and didn't have time to wait to order online. Had to buy Vista. I don't need, nor want, to do much with it, just this required stuff. Hope it works OK.

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

  • HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8.  Please help me with any suggestions on what to do.  Thank you.

    HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8.  Please help me with any suggestions on what to do.  Thank you.  I cannot find any new downloads for Safari that work with Leopard.  The newest ones only work with Lion.  My Firefox browser still works though but I would rather use Safari and cannot access any e-mails or send any e-mails via Safari.  This happened about 3 weeks ago and I thought it was just a glitch on Hotmail's site.  Now I realize Hotmail must have released an update that no longer works with Leopard 10.5.8.  PLEASE HELP ME!!!!  Thanks to anyone and everyone who reads this and attempts to help me.  I do not know what to do....

    Hi Sue,
    What exactly happens when trying Safari?
    They did change it to Outlook recently, but while not pretty, I can access mine with Safari 4.0 still...
    You can also set it up in Mail so you don't need a browser at all if you want.

  • Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, for tv hook up.

    Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, to hook up to tv for streaming. The display works through VGA but the audio isn't working. Got a plug that goes into headphone jack on computer and connects into the audio jack on the back of tv but no sound. I'm not quite sure what the issue is, whether its the wrong plug, the tv, or the computer. Best Buy says this is the right plug and it seems that it would be, but who knows. If anyone has any experience in this, I would appreciate the help!

    Make sure those audio plugs are matched with the VGA plug. With your MacBook running something with audio switch between your sources on the TV Component, Composite and such. See if the sound is coming from another source. If so then you've got your audio plugs in the wrong jacks.
    Also could you post the make and model number of your TV.

    If K Penguin's suggestion doesnt work, you will have to go to you iTunes and do a reset, that is if you do not have it in your back up library.

    Hi, I was given an iMac Flat Screen over the weekend, it turned on ok, this morning when i turned it on there is a circle with a flashing ?, what does this mean, help!

    It means that it cannot locate the operating system.
    You need to reinstall from the disks that came with the iMac and which the vendor is required to give you.

  • My Airport Time Capsule only works when I turn off and turn on, but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve?

    Time Capsule Airport
    Hello to all, good day, sorry my english google, but it is the tool I have at the moment. I'm having trouble with my Time Capsule Airport, I made all the settings according to the manual, but there has been a connection problem with my iMac. When I finish my work I turn off the imac and then again when they return to work and care, it can not connect to Time Capsule Airport, making it impossible to remove the files and make back up by Time Machine only works when I turn off and turn on the Airport Time Capsule , but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve? Thank you.
    Olá a todos, bom dia, desculpe meu inglês google, mas é a ferramenta que tenho no momento. Estou tendo dificuldades com a minha Airport Time Capsule, fiz todas as configurações de acordo com o manual, mas tem existido um problema de conexão com meu iMac. Quando termino meus trabalhos desligo o imac e depois quando retorno pra trabalhar novamente e ligo, ele não se conecta a Airport Time Capsule, impossibilitando retirar os arquivos e fazer o back-up pelo Time Machine, só funciona quando desligo e ligo a Airport Time Capsule, mas acho que isso pode acabar com o aparelho. O que pode esta acontecendo e como resolver? Obrigado.

    This is easier to do with pictures perhaps.. since we do not share a common language and machine translation leaves a lot to be desired.
    In the airport utility bring up your Time Capsule.
    Simply post the screenshots here.
    So here is mine.
    Click on the Edit button and give us the Internet and Wireless and Network tab..
    eg.
    Please also make sure you are set to ipv6 in your wireless or ethernet .. whichever is used.. and do tell which.
    This is wifi in your computer.
    The following are important..
    DO not use long names with spaces and non-alphanumeric names.
    Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    eg TC name. TCgen5
    Wireless name TCwifi
    Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
    read apple instructions to help with TM and TC.. they did finally admit it has issues in Mavericks.
    OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
    Mount the TC manually in finder.
    AFP://TCgen5.local
    When asked for the password .. that is the disk access password and save it in the keychain.
    Reset Time Machine

  • I'm trying to share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I have tried several times to save at 1080 HD, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying "File already open with write permission."  What's this mean?

    I'm trying to finalize/share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I'd like to finalize it 1080 hd and have tried several times, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying it can't be done because "File already open with with write permission."  What does this mean?  All files are closed; this iMovie project is the only thing open.  Does it mean one of the song files from iTunes? And should I just settle for saving it as a "large" file, which is what I'm trying right now?
    Thanks,
    Jamie
