Hi...i planned to install windows xp on my macbook pro OS 10.8.3..is it compatible with my mac?if so,how can i get the windows file?
and i planned to use VMware...
If you are using a Virtual Machine like Vmware you should check with Vmware to see what versions of Windows run in their virtual machine. It is not Windows that has to be compatible with your Apple computer when using a virtual machine, it is the virtual machine version that must be compatible.

We have a WD external harddrive previously used with a PC that we want to completely erase and reformat for use with our iMac desktop for use with Time Machine. The drive shows up on the desktop of the Mac, but it does not show up in Disk Utlity, assuming because it's Windows format. Outside of the standard "erase" feature in Disk Utility, is there any way to reformat this drive for Mac OS X? Or how can I get this drive to show up in Disk Utility? Note: The drive functions properly, has power, and we are able to view its current contents through the desktop icon, so it is a working drive. And we are ok with losing all the current data on the drive.
Hmm strange, I had just moved my external Lacie drive from my windows machine to my iMac and it was showing up in disk utility still formatted fat32 or whatever. I would disconnect the drive and restart the machine then replug the drive and try again.
Also not that it will make a difference ( I dont think it will but hey why not ) try accessing disk utility from the install disk? -
There is a horizontal band or gap above the Firefox window at the top of the screen, where you can see the Windows desktop behind the Firefox window. On the left side of this band are the window tabs, and the menu bar, and another bar with the names of the open windows. I would like to have the Firefox window expand to fill the entire screen, like it did before the upgrade. Thanks.
Do you mean running Firefox in full screen mode?

If you are in full screen mode then you can hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

You can also run Firefox in a maximized window to have easier access to the Menu bar and Navigation Toolbar. -
How can I get the window to expand when the TOC is shown?
Hello all,
We have changed our javascript call to open WebHelp in a narrow window. By design and by default, the TOC does not initially show.
When the "Show TOC" button is clicked, we wish for the window to expand to accomodate the navigation pane. As it is, the two pains will share the narrow window, making things unuable until the user manually resizes the window. Not exactly user-friendly.
By default, the Help window opens at 290 X 745.
When the nav pane is expanded, we'd like the window size to become 570 X 745 to accomodate the added width of the TOC.
Thanks in advance for the advice!Do you mean running Firefox in full screen mode?

You should run a Genuine diagnostic and then post your results in the
Windows Genuine Forums. There may be a very easy technical fix to get you running again. Please read the directions below first:
MGA
Diagnostic Report:
To properly analyze and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once downloaded, run the tool.
Click on the Continue button, after a short time, the Continue button will change to a Copy button.
Click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your post.
One
Issue Per Thread:
Most Activation and Validation issues look the same, on the surface, but can have many different causes and fixes. This is why we ask for a diagnostic report and this is also why we ask that you create your own thread for your issue (in other words, don't post
your issue in another person's thread).
It just becomes too complicated to try to troubleshoot multiple different issues in the same thread.
New
to the Forums?
Note that if you are new to these forums, you may find that you are unable to post due to a restriction on the inclusion of links and pictures.
Simply delete the only lines that contain links - this will allow the remainder of the report to upload (and those lines are not generally
critical to the report anyhow)

How can I get the windows regional settigs such as Decimal point setting
I have the problem that the Labview program I wrote uses the regional settings to format numbers to string. I know one can change this in 6.0 but I am using instrument drivers and the total library has 200 or more vi in it. I don't have the time to edit all of these. So I would like to check the regional settings and then inform the user that he/she may need to change this, or even that the program will remotly change these settings. Any ideas or example code ?
Another way of reading it is through the registry. Just open a key:
+ Open Registry Key.vi
+ HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_USERS (root key)
+ Control Panel\International (subkey)
+ read key/write key (security access mask)
Use 'read registry value simply' or 'write registry value simply' to read or
to modify 'sDecimal'.
And remember :
+ to be active in LV, you must restart LV!
+ you should change 'sThousand' also!
+ close the key!
Regards,
Wiebe.

How can I get the windows operating system login?
My application needs no authentication, but I would like to be able to identify the user by their windows login. For tracking etc. Is this available in XE Application Express?
thanksTrevor,
you can easily download it here: http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
It comes with an installer, it is really easy.
Oracle has a version of Apache included in their distributions, but you would require a license for that. Since Oracle XE has an embedded pl/sql gateway, you should just do fine using the original Apache.
No, you don't need the REMOTE_ADDR workaround, just be aware of the limitation.
Here are even simpler instructions for running Apache as a proxy to XE: Re: Existing http server
Good luck :),

I am trying to install an app in my iphone. When I click Install, my old gmail account comes up for verification and it asks for my password etc. I dont use this account anymore and have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple account. How can I get the new gmail to default when I am trying to install apps?
Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID. -
I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?
Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
http://refit.sourceforge.net/
This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education. -

How do you get the Windows side on a Mac?
How do you get the Windows side on a Mac?
There is no Windows side on a Mac unless you install a version of Windows in a virtual machine or use Boot Camp to partition the drive and install Win 7 (if you are using a Macbook Pro that came with OS X Lion installed).
If you use a virtual machine you can install just about any version of Windows that you have a retail disc of and a legal license key to go with it. -
