How Can This Computer Be Used Right Out Of The Box With NO WORD PROCESSING!

I just want to know why I can't do homework on a $1099 laptop!

Welcome to the discussions!
As mentioned, virtually no PC comes with MS Office on it - and that's a good thing. Most people do not need all the features of Office in a standard home setting and including it would just increase their price needlessly. Students who turn in homework through email will usually need it since teachers really don't want to be bothered with multiple file formats. I can't blame them.
Check out your school's bookstore. It is likely that they have Office for Mac at a great price. If not - or if you want a different program - use OpenOffice or Apple's own iWork.

How can I display a SP 2010 out of the box workflow's task assignees via powershell?

There are days where one of the 250+ workflows at the site has attempted to send email to someone no longer at the company.
I would like to find a way to go through the farm and display all the list URLs that have workflows, and the mail addresses associated to the workflows.
This way I can track down the workflows that need to be updated to remove the missing users.
I have started a bit of script to do this. In my script, I just had a site collection - I figured that if I can get that to work, then surely wrapping another loop for the rest of the farm won't be bad.
However, for some reason, I am not seeing the output that I expected to show the mail addresses.
I am hoping a different set of eyes might see what I am missing. It was my understanding that the AssociationData property was XML that contained information about the assignees for tasks, the carbon copy list, etc.
Maybe I misunderstood something that I read?
$outLoc = "d:\temp\wfdata.txt"
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://myfarm/sites/it/"
foreach ($list in $web.Lists)
$associationColl=$list.WorkflowAssociations
foreach ($association in $associationColl)
$association.AssociationData | Out-File $outLoc
$web.Dispose()
I want to thank you for the helpful tips that so often appear on this list. They help me when I am reading over old threads to figure out what to do. I am hoping that tips on this thread will likewise be helpful.

Hi,
With
SPWorkflowAssociation.AssociationData property, we can get the assignees’ information. Your script can
be able to retrieve a XML format data which contains the user name we need:
So the next step would be getting the user name by parsing the XML data we got.
The two links below will show how to parse XML with PowerShell:

With the user name, we can get the
Email property of an user with the scripts as the link below provided:

How can we access workflow status column out of the box (OOTB).

I have a problem that few of the workflows in production are failed at last stage have status set to "Workflow Errored". Someway I have fixed issue with workflow but I need to modify this status.
I tried adding a custom column and access workflow status column so that I can modify custom column as I want, and show this in views.
But I can't access this without using code, anybody has any idea?
My task is to modify workflow status which are errored out.

You can rerun the workflow once you've fixed it up. This'll change the status to something more successful.

Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number. Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard?

Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number. Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard? Do I have to buy an Apple Keyboard to get it to work right out of the box?

Is this a normal USB keyboard or is there anything specialized about it? Does this keyboard require you to install any special software to use it on a Windows box? Or is it usually a plug & play keyboard?
Normally if a Mac does not recognize a keyboard it asks you to press certain keys to identify the keyboard. What is happening on screen with this keyboard? What serial number are you referring to?

How can I still print using a 'hp designjet 120nr (C7791B)' with OS X 10.8.3? I cannot get the drivers to work?

Thank you once again Matthew. I understand the importance of being thourough and followed your instruction exactly. I really thought that this would solve it and was ready to click 'This solved my question'. However I still have the same print options as before, no 'A1 on the roll'.
Although, when I copied:
'sudo pkgutil --forget org.linuxprinting.foomatic-rip'
into Terminal it did say somehting along the lines of 'nothing found' (sorry I didnt copy the text). Could this be part of the issue?
In this case the instructions were incorrect. I forgot that the uninstaller would run that command. The reason for that command was to let the system know that foomatic-rip 4.0.6 had been removed. I am sure that you were able to then install foomatic-rip version 3.43.2.15. There are two ways to confirm that the older version is now installed. First, if you can print at all, it is present. You could also copy and paste the following command in the Terminal. It should respond with the version that is installed:
pkgutil --pkg-info org.linuxprinting.foomatic-rip | grep version
Do I need to change the PPD at all?
There is no need to change the PPD. PPDs are reflective of the software (drivers) that are called from the PPD. You can put anything you want in the PPD. If that capability is not in the driver, having it in the PPD won't make it work.
Setting a job to print from A1 Roll Paper is a two step process. First you select the Paper Size which is A1.
Then look under the pop up menu below Paper Size for an item called Paper Feed.
Select Paper Feed. Then you will be able to select where/how the paper is being fed to the printer. This is where you can choose Roll Paper (Cut) or Roll Paper (No Cut) among other choices.
Other drivers may have A1 Roll Paper listed under Paper Size. Perhaps that is how the HP driver was. There would still have had to be a place, then to check whether or not you wanted the paper to be cut and/or whether you were feeding sheets of paper from one of the other paths.
Let us know if you can find all the options now and that you are able to keep your normal workflow.

Can this device be used as an external hard drive with a macbook pro laptop to use files on the airport?

can this device be used as an external hard drive with a macbook pro laptop and use files on the airport time capsule?

If you mean an AirPort base station other than the Time Capsule, it doesn't have internal storage.
If you mean a Time Capsule, its internal drive can be used for regular file storage but shouldn't be; as with all drives, it'll eventually fail. You're better off using a standalone drive and setting Time Machine to back it up as well.

Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box?

Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box? Shouldn't it have 0 because it's brand new.

Yes it should have 0. I would return it, that means that the battery has already went through 13 full cycles. Perhaps they accidentally resold a returned one as new.

I can't believe this is how the iPhone is right out of the box.

Seriously. I have never purchased anything that worked so well, and did exactly what it was advertised to do immediately. I did have the activation problems that others did the first night, but since then, wow. It's amazing to think that many other features are coming down the road. Apple really deserves a thumbs up for this one. I have been an apple follower for a while, and the rev a thing is usually pretty crappy....but they knocked it out of the park with this one.. Couldn't be happier. (yes, no point to this thread, but why not post something positive for a change!)

I totally agree with you....i love my iPhone.....i have no complaints....this is truly a magnificent product! I mean im on my iPhone right now! This is just freakin crazy!

G580 can't backup right out of the box. Not enough space

I recently aquired a G580 with the i5 processer, 500gb hard drive and Win8. I see the lenovo center is telling me to do a backup and since I just set it all up the way I wanted I figured it's a good idea anyway. I follow the instructions and it automatically makes a path to the D drive. I click backup and it say's there isn't enough space?
Seems my hard drive was partitioned from the factory with only a 25gb (24.9 to be exact) D drive. Now the only thing on the D drive is an applications folder with nortons and a driver folder with what looks to be backups of the OEM drivers. All this takes up 2gb of space. The backup is saying it needs 25.2 gb. So even without those files on the D drive I still wouldn't be able to make a backup.
I am reading the partitioning thread but I'm lost really. Plus I don't really want to be messing with partitions on a brand new machine out of the box. It seems I might have too though. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Let me suggest a few things. I guess that will clarify few of the doubts.
1. The factory default image is saved on the OEM partition (hidden). This can be used through One Key recovery for loading factory defaults.
2. Refer to this link on creating a back up of factory default image. This can be used to get Windows back in case of hard drive failure or replacement. Applies to Ideapads also. Link
3. The option of creating Backup using the One Key Recovery software is for the current system image and not the factory default image. Hence the size will vary from user to user and I guess the D drive will not be sufficient for this. Anyhow, as you mentioned, creating the backup on external drive makes more sense.
Hope I was able to clarify few things.

How much drive space it utilized straight out of the box of a 15" MB Pro?

I'm looking to get a MB Pro w/ Retina, but struggling with paying $500 to go from 256GB of on board storage to 512GB. I realize its specially designed for the system and all that, but it still seems a bit bloated as far as price. So in order to make a more informed decision I was wondering how much of the 256GB storage is utilized by the base image from Apple, like I open the box turn it on and check the drive properties how much free space is left before I make any changes/additions to the system? I saw that OS X Mountain Lion only requires 8GB of storage space and coming from the Windows world I'm not sure how accurate that is. All I need on board storage for is my software apps (Lightroom, PS Elements) and a bit of temporary storage for photos until I can transfer them to the NAS at home. I would need about 100-150GB of available storage typically to be safe for a trip/session.
So any insight to exactly how much disk (I know its not a disk) is left available straight out of the box would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I'm in Afghanistan right now otherwise I'd just go to the Apple Store and check for myself. Looking forward to coming over to the Apple world, but hoping I can do it for $500 less.

Aw, man, you'd love some of the stuff you can do with the CS6 suites! I use Lightroom as well, but also PS, InDesign, Illustrator, and I'm just beginning to learn Dreamweaver and Fireworks. I love layers in PS - allows for so much control and creativity!
You'll have plenty of room - glad to see that you've already thought ahead in re storage and backup. I just think that the price Apple charges for SSD is absurd. 256GB will be something that you can live with for a long, long time.
Good luck with your new Mac,
Clinton

12GB already used on out-of-the-box refurb MBP?

Hi-
Just a quick question--
My refurbished 15-inch MBP (2.2 Ghz, 120 GB hard disk) just arrived. I took it out of the box, started up and registered, and was planning to shift things from my old Powerbook G4 in Target disk mode, etc, but haven't done ANYTHING else yet. Out of curiosity I clicked on About this Mac, and saw that my HD has a capacity of 111.47 GB (I understand that "120 GB" probably means about 111 GB in reality), but that there is only 99.05 GB available, and 12.42 GB already used. Is that how much is needed for the basic Tiger (10.4.10) and applications that came preloaded on my MBP? If not, any ideas why 12.42 already used? Should I do an erase-and-install with Tiger OS? Do you think Apple didn't fully clean or erase the disk?
Thanks,
Samantha

When Apple says "120 GB hard drive" they mean 120 billion bytes. But strictly speaking, 1 GB is 10243 bytes, not 10003 bytes.
So when Finder says "111.47 GB capacity", it means 111.47 gigabytes, which is 111.47×10243=119.69 billion bytes. So your question is actually what happened to the missing 296 MB (or 0.31 billion bytes), and the answer is one of rounding error, disk overhead, or an extra partition on the hard drive used for booting. (The Boot camp forum has comments about an "extra" 300MB partition on the hard drive.)
Unfortunately, the misleading "x GB hard drive" label for what is really an x÷1.0243 GB drive has become an industry standard, and is always stated in the fine print.
