Help with Parallels Install

Anyone,
I am posting this here after already trying to get help at the Parallesl forum. I am trying to install Parallels onto my MBP C2D. I have installed it just fine and then get to the install of the new OS, Windoze! (Need it for one silly work application)
Now all I have is an upgrade for Win XP. On the other forum they told me to download a boot disk for Win 98 and do this, "download a 98 bootdisk from bootdisk.com. (http://www.dehning.com/download/util...sks/boot98.exe) in the vm config, enable the floppy drive and attach the downloaded 98 boot disk image (it should be fine to rename the .exe to .img and attach it directly). Then start the xp install as normal."
I am lost at what to do from this point. If any of you have any suggestions or might know of another place to look for help it would be much appreciated! I am going bald trying to figure this out! Also I would prefer not to install boot camp and make a partition on my HD.
Thanks in advance for any and all help and advice!

Hi Nathan!
I have no idea what the folks giving you those instructions were intending. If you only have a Windows XP upgrade disk then you either need to install a full (non-upgrade) older version of Windows or purchase a full license.
The boot disk you were directed to will only allow a system that can't boot CDs to boot enough to see the Windows installer. You still need a full version of Windows.
Hope this helps! bill

I need help with re installing my apple account for itunes.

Had problems with my itune account, so I uninstalled and now need help with re-installing the program with the songs I have already purchased.

Your iTunes account is something at the iTunes Store online. It is not possible to uninstall it. Do you mean the iTunes application? Even if you delete the application and restore it, it should not have deleted your iTunes library (essentially the contents of the iTunes folder in Music) on your computer unless you did a separate steep and specifically deleted that too. You need to tell us what it was you deleted.

Opening MS attachments in Mail with Parallels installed

Here's the situation that's happening with a friend that I need some help with. She's running OS X Leopard and Windows XP with Parallels. She has MS Office for both platforms. She uses Mail in OS X as her email application. When she receives attachments in email - i.e. Word document, Excel spreadsheet - it automatically opens in Windows (through Parallels) rather than opening in Word or Excel for Mac. Is there a setting she's overlooked that would make the default application Office for Mac rather than Windows XP?
Thanks in advance for any help offered!

This is happening because the documents she is receiving probably were created originally using the Windows version of Office. Have her select a document then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the Mac version of the Office application (Word, Excel, etc. depending upon the document) from the drop down menu then click on the Change All button. This should now associate all such documents with the Office application. She will need to do this for a Word, Excel, and PPT document, respectively.
Alternatively, download the freeware utility RCDefaultApp and install it. Then these associations can be handled for all types of documents, MIME types, etc. You will find it at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Help with parallel arrays of different data types

Hello all, I am having an issue with parallel arrays. My program requires me to read information from a text file into 4 parallel arrays (2 String and 2 double). My text file needs to look something like this:
John Johnson
0000004738294961
502.67
1000.000
Jane Smith
0000005296847913
284.51
1000.000
...and so on
Where the first thing is the name (obviously), an account number, the balance in the account, and the credit limit. I just cant figure out how to read everything into the arrays. We havent learned anything too heavy, and this seems a little too advanced for my class, but I guess we will manage. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks guys.
Casey

Man this is a dumb homework assignment. The requirements scream out for a class along the lines of
public class Account{
private String name, number;
private double balance,creditlimit;
// more code here
}and then to use a List of Account objects.
Anyway what's your actual problem. There's nothing very hard about it. A loop. So....
You should consider posting (formatted) code showing what you have done and where exactly you are stuck.

Tips and help with re-installing Lion over Snow Leopard

I had MAJOR issues with my initial Lion install on my Mid-2009 MBP- so much so, that I had to wipe my hard drive and re-install Snow Leopard and all my applications. My major issues were as follows:
1. All my files were locked out- I could open them in most cases, but I couldn't overwrite them- Lion had aded some funky permissions scheme that I didn't recognize, and my user name wasn't present on any of them. In some cases, I couldn't even open files, even though they were resident on my hard drive (and in my own user folder) before the upgrade to Lion.
2. Apple's own Universal Binary apps wouldn't work after the upgrade. Final Cut Pro 6, in particular, came up with a message that it was a "PowerPC" app and wouldn't run- yet Shake 4.1 would run just fine!
3. Adobe Creative Suite 3- after the upgrade, my Abode Ceative Suite 3 apps worked just fine, for about a day- that is, until I tried to correct the file permissions issue by changing permission on a few of my folders in my User folder (and electing to change permissions in the files contained therein)- at which point my Adobe apps told me that they were damaged and needed to be reinstalled. Yet after uninstaling and reinstalling the entire Creative Suite 3 times, I still would get the same message.
My entire workflow is Adobe CS and FCS2- why chould I have to pay the upgrade costs just to use Lion? FCPX is completely brkoen for my workflow and eqipment, and Adobe can't even guarantee that CS5 works with Lion- so why does Apple insist on Lion when it's hardly even compatible with its own products?
I really want to use Lion, but I am looking for some tips on instalation to kep these problems from happening again. I didn' have ANY of these problems with upgrading OS 10.2 through 10.6. Any help with prepping my system/files for upgrading would be helpful. Thanks!

any new Apple kB articles

Me, I think clone backups are more useful, and only use T.M. as secondary.
Using Cloning as a Backup Strategy
I'd assume that professional apps may need to be tested still; and of course check to see what you have that depends on PowerPC code and Rosetta first. That has some in a tither.
A clone lets you still be able to boot Snow Leopard. Check out Carbon Copy, SuperDuper.

Installing Bootcamp with Parallels installed

Hey guys.
I need to install Bootcamp to run Rhinoceros and Grasshopper with full graphics support. It isn't a good idea to run these programs only on parallels. However, I am told that I need to install Bootcamp BEFORE parallels if I want them to share the same Windows copy. I already have parallels installed, along with Revit and the full Microsoft Office suite. I don't want to delete all of my installed programs to install windows onto Bootcamp. Is there anyway to salvage this without having to dig up old codes and trying to get all my software back?
My end-goal is to be able to work in Bootcamp for serious CAD and drafting software, whilst still maintaining the capability of opening these same files for viewing and light edting in Parallels while running Mac. I would be using Bootcamp ONLY for Rhinoceros Grasshopper and Revit. Excel PPT word and other microsoft applications would be run exclusively through parallels.
Thank you for your views and responses
- Thomas

without knowing anything about parallels and feeling that the parallels forum would likely be a safer place to confirm your questions then
I would think that they mean that you just have to have installed bootcamp before creating the virtual machine in parallels which is to access the windows partition not wait with installing the virtual machine software(parallels) itself
but as stated parallels is about the only virtual machine software I have no experience with at all

Help with Classic install

Hi all, I'm sure this question has been asked before so forgive me. I've looked all around and found solutions that were 'similar' to my problem but none that will work. here we go.
I just got an old Mac G4 tower (AGP) and bought Tiger to put on it. (not sure what version of OSX was on it before) Anyway I did a clean install and everythig works great. No problems at all.
I was installing a program yesterday that turns out needs Classic support. Right now there is no updated version of this program and I need to run it. My machine doesnt have Classic support. How do I install it? I've read that there is a second install disk that you can use my my boxed version of OSX has only one disk. I searched the disk and see that there is a Classic folder on it with an install app but when i run it it doesnt do anything. It just informs me that neither of my hard drivers have Classic.
I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I REALLY need to run this legacy application.

I'd find that 2nd DVD, it's supposed to come with OSX
10.4. Follow the instructions on this article and an
"Applications (OS9)" folder will appear in your
Macintosh HD.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/
en/mh763.html
OS 9 has not shipped with OS X since Jaguar.
However, OS 9 does ship with PPC Macs. It should be on the install DVD, or on the 2nd or 3rd CD, depending on which Mac. Example: my original 700 MHz eMac shipped with OS X 10.1 and OS 9.2.2 on separate CDs, both bootable. My 1.25 GHz eMac shipped with OS X 10.3 and OS 9.2.2, with the OS X disc being bootable and the OS 9.2.2 disc being part of the applications suite and not being bootable. My 2.1 GHz iMac shipped with OS X 10.4 and OS 9.2.2 on the same DVD. OS 9.2.2 is again part of the application suite and cannot be booted from the DVD. The Intel Macs at the office shipped with OS X 10.4 and that's it, no OS 9.2.2 as Classic does not run on them.
A boxed set of OS X 10.2 shipped with OS 9.2.2 on a separate CD. (It was a white 'universal install' CD and would install on all Macs produced up to that time.) I have such a boxed set on a shelf in the cupboard right now. A boxed set of OS X 10.3 shipped with four CDs, none of which was OS 9. I have such a boxed set on a shelf near my eMac right now. A boxed set of 10.4 shipped with a single DVD. I have such a boxed set on a shelf near my eMac right now. I have just opened the box and verified by sight: one DVD, OS X only. A further check of the contents of that DVD show no mention of OS 9.
The OP will need to have the system CDs or DVD which shipped with his Mac to install Classic.

Help with Parallel Currnecy (Classic GL)

Hi Experts,
I need a help with OB22 (Parallel Currency). Our Client is using all the 3 currency as below –
System – ECC, Classic GL
1st Local Currency
Currency Type – 10 (GBP)
Valuation-0
Srce Curr-1
Trs Date Type-3
2nd Local Currency
Currency Type – 30 (SAR)
Valuation-1 (Group Valuation)
Exchange Rate Type-M
Srce Curr-1
Trs Date Type-3
3rd Local Currency
Currency Type – 30 (SAR)
Valuation-2 (Profit Center Valuation)
Exchange Rate Type-M
Srce Curr-1
Trs Date Type-3
They have the above settings for their companies are existing landscape. They are into rollouts and are implementing the existing solution into LATAM.
They are not using the Profit Center Valuation actively for now. Which I believe is for Transfer Pricing across profit centres.
They want to be consistent with their settings and want to use the same settings across the system i.e. they want to activate 3rd currency for Profit Center Valuation.
The problem is for few countries in LATAM we need to use the Hard Currency as USD instead of the 30-Profit Center Valuation.
The Concern which the client is that if we use the hard currency in some company code instead of 30-Profit Center Valuation and in future if they want to do a full-fledged transfer pricing will these companies without the 30-Profit Center Valuation become a bottleneck and problem
Thanks for Help

Help with Tiger install and getting hot keys and start up manager to work

this open firmware issue, how do you get around it? Wonder if it is causing me trouble; i.e. shift and other keys do not work and keeping me from booting with Tiger install. How do I access these keys then?
I did a clean install on a secondary internal drive (device 1) 150GB Maxtor

Hi Ali,
re: this open firmware issue, how do you get around it? I really did not understand the support page you link to...but wonder if it is causing me trouble; i.e. shift and other keys do not work. How do I access these keys then?
Is this a Wireless KB you have? Many aren't recognized until after booting.
Hmmm, you've got the firmware Update needed for the AGP to install/use 10.4...
I think I'd try this, worked for me on 3 such macs...
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the Erase tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume, then choose MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Partition tab.
6. Click Erase & look for Security Options. choose Zero 1 pass."

Help with Re-installing an app through app manager after after accidental uninstalled?

Okay - I've purchased lightroom 4, with the intent to upgrade my creative suite from 5.5 to 6 a week or so ago... Adobe was kind enough to credit me back as at time of upgrade, CS6 was no longer available and lightroom 4 would have been included in my CC membership.
I've installed all the CC apps, and received a weird german email about LR4 intalls... So I uninstalled my current copy of LR4 and went to re-install from the CC app manager... It says that it is already installed and won't let me download it from the site... The trouble is that it isn't really installed anymore, and now I really need to use it... Any help would certainly be appreicated.
Thanks.

If you are using Windows Mahcine then go to control panel and uninstall the lightroom properly from there.
If you are using MAC then go to /Applications/Utilities/Adobe installers and find the uninstaller of lightroom and double click the same to uninstall.
If still you are not able to uninstall the application completly then use CS cleaner tool to uninstall the software. you can download CS cleaner tool from : http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

[SOLVED] need help with virtualbox install

I'm a relative n00b to Arch, haging migrated from Ubuntu (pha!!). Arch rocks!
However, my beloved virtualbox isnt playing ball!
After many hours of getting arch up and running I now need some assitance please with VirtualBox PEUL. I've googled and search these wikis and found:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd
http://www.mail-archive.com/vbox-users% … 02889.html
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox
but, I dont know how to install.
I used yaourt (having spent another many hours trying to get to speed with what Arch AUR is and yaourt!!)
This is what I did:
1. Visited http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox and followed PEUL instructions...
2. Click on AUR link and then click on PKGBUILD and it downloaded a PKGBUILD from here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd
3. Then went back to the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox and clicked on VirtualBox_1.5.6-1_Linux_x86.run and downloaded the file.
4. In accordance with the instructions on the wiki, I ran makepkg
HOWEVER, I get errors!!:

Hello!

Just a quick comment about where to copy the Sun .run package. It should be put to where the tarball from AUR was extracted.
In my case, it is /home/[users]/virtualbox-bin/

Help with archive & install

Aloha!
I hope someone can help me since I've been searching and reading these discussions all day and haven't found the answer to my problem.
I updated my OS to Leopard 10.5 and began experiencing problems. I did a archive and install back to Tiger 10.4 and now don't know how to restore all the user files in the "previous system folder". I've read the Apple article on restoring after archive and install but I don't understand the whole instructions. I tried creating a new user (with same short name and password) and created a .dmg file of the previous system user folder using disk utility. After copying the files, it doesn't allow me to open the applications. It says I don't have sufficient access privileges. I can't confirm if the file transfer was successful. I'm totally lost and confused. Any help will be appreciated.

Which article was that please?
