you need access to the windows registry (via some jni library which you can find on google)
then you need to read this web page and fiddle with the settings in the registry
http://www.delphi32.com/info_facts/faq/faq_661.asp
the key you want to add a new key to is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
and then associate some values with that key:
'DisplayName' = the string displayed in the add/remove programs window
'UninstallString' = the path to your application

How do I add Macbook air to my windows network and how do I connect to windows shares from said Macbook?

Finally, I have a "clued in" boss who wanted a Macbook air. I have it, and I can get to the internet by supplying the correct proxy credentials. My issue is trying to connect him to windows shares on my network? I know how to do this cold for adding a PC, But need some 101 on how to take this awesome macbook air and add it to the domain and how to get connected to various shares within my DOMAIN. as well as use network printers (I assume that is pretty easy). . . I should add that I can ping the servers in question, I am just not familiar with how to connect to them via Mac. . .I am sure this is laughably easy, I am the king of making things difficult, I swear!
Thanks for any and all help as usual!!

Can anyone help me pliz?? one
other question is that if I manage to do it somehow,
it will limit my program to windows right?? isthere
a way out of it??Yes. Writing it in VB.I'm sorry, I'm too tired to actually read. I thought you want to limit it to Windows. No, you won't be limiting it to Windows, as your application will hopefully not crash in case there is no start menu entry or system tray icon.

How do I add photos to a tabbed window?

If I add a tabbed window using the "Widgets" tab, I will want to place multiple photos within any of the tabbed windows I created. HOWEVER, I am unable to find a way to upload/add photos to any of the tabbed windows.
Typically, I should be able to find a way to "Import" a photo or image into each tabbed window. However, I am not seeing that option anywhere? I have hovered my mouse over the blue circled arrows and NOTHING shows up that allows me to import or upload an image.
Can someone please help me.

Hi,
Are you referring to the Tabbed Panels widget in Muse Widget Library?
If yes, you may just use the place option to add an image within any panel.
From the File menu, select Place; and then click anywhere inside the panel to add the image.
Hope it helps,
Sonam

How do I add a Mac to a Windows Server 2003 or 2008 domain?

I recently started working for a public school district that runs Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 R2. There are several faculty members, myself included, that would like to get their Macs onto the domain and capable of file sharing, printing to network printers, etc. I cannot find decent instructions anywhere. Could someone please point me in the right direction or give me some directions? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm also new to the MAC world - I trust you were able to join the MAC's to the domain - I finally figured it out. However, I have not been able to get the MAC's to save to the Windows 2008 server where I have student folders setup. Have you been able to do this? If so can share the info with us.
Thanks,

How do I add a printer connected to another iMac on the network to my printer list?

How do I add an Epson printer connected to an iMac on the network to the printer list on my MacBook Pro? I cannot get it to show up in the list for printers to add.

That only works if the printer is itself a network printer. You can't do it if it is directly connected to another computer on the network unless it is configured to be a Shared Printer on the other computer.

How do I add more GB to my iMac?

I'm hoping this is the right place to put this (I'm a bit inexperienced in the whole hardware-software department, so really don't know what pertains to what). I've got an iMac which I got back in 2008, and am looking to update it to Mountain Lion. However, that apparently requires 2 GB, and it's told me I haven't got enough. So, question is, how do I add more GB so that I can actually update it to Mac OS X Mountain Lion? It's got Snow Leopard at the moment (10.6.8).
Here're some of my computer details:
Model Name - iMac
Identifier - iMac 7, 1
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo
Speed - 2.4 GHz
L2 Cache - 4 MB
Memory - 1 GB
Thanks all.

Your model supports:
Maximum Memory
6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
Two - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs
To upgrade you will need to purchase two new memory modules to replace the ones you now have installed. You can purchase memory at OWC or DataMem. OWC also has video tutorials on how to install memory in most Macs.

How do I add more Memory to the 2 open slots in my iMac - it is 4GB now

How do I add more Memory to the 2 open slots in my iMac ??? It is 4GB now and I get the spinning beach ball often when several Apps are running.
Does the Apple Store sell and install???
Please advise if you have upgraded your iMac memory

Go to a website such as OWC or Crucial's, determine which type of RAM your computer needs, and buy it from that site. They provide installation instructions on the site.

How do I add more memory to my Imac, I only have 1GB of memory and need 2GB to download Yosemite!

How do I add more memory to my Imac, I only have 1GB of memory and need 2GB to download Yosemite?

Janet,
This is why the question rkaufmann87 asked about your model is so important:
[click chart to enlarge if needed]
The list covers the early iMacs with Intel processors that shipped with either OS 10.4 or 10.5 and have only two RAM slots. As you can see, some have limits to what version of OSX you can install. If the step rkaufmann requests does not narrow down your model, you can do one more thing.
While the "About this Mac" window is open, click the "More Info..." button at the bottom of that window to get this (assuming you are really running OS 10.5.8 as shown in your profile):
The code I've indicated with the red arrow corresponds to the codes in the second column on the chart. Post the code your computer reports--again don't post a serial number.
If your iMac shipped with only 1GB RAM, I fear it is one of the earliest models that cannot be upgraded all the way to Yosemite.

The internal hard drive on my early 2009 24" iMac is nearly full. How do I add an external drive so that it functions just like the internal drive on the iMac?

The internal hard drive on my early 2009 24" iMac is nearly full. I have already worked to free as much space on the HD as possible. How do I add an external HD and have the iMac read it as though it was part of the internal HD. I know about external HD for additional storage and I do have an external HD, but, it is so much easier to search the drive when it is internal than having to perform a search on the internal drive and then a search on the external drives. And, it is easier to save files to an internal drive so that I don't have to decide which external drive to use to save files. In other words, I want to add an external HD and have it function as though I had purchased a larger internal HD.

That is simply not possible. Every drive is a separate device. It cannot be used to extend an internal drive as though you had a seamlessly larger drive.
What you can do is to create a striped RAID array using the internal drive and an external drive. However, doing this will erase the internal drive and you will lose everything on the internal drive. Furthermore, installing Lion or Mountain Lion becomes a bit of a problem because you cannot create a Recovery HD on a RAID and this tends to make the installer choke. However, you can clone an existing Lion or Mountain Lion system to the RAID and designate the RAID as a startup volume.
I would not recommend the RAID solution, personally, but there are many who do. I prefer the basic solution of spending the money on a larger internal hard drive instead of an external hard drive.
RAID Basics
For basic definitions and discussion of what a RAID is and the different types of RAIDs see RAIDs. Additional discussions plus advantages and disadvantages of RAIDs and different RAID arrays see:
RAID Tutorial;
RAID Array and Server: Hardware and Service Comparison.
Hardware or Software RAID?
RAID Hardware Vs RAID Software - What is your best option?
RAID is a method of combining multiple disk drives into a single entity in order to improve the overall performance and reliability of your system. The different options for combining the disks are referred to as RAID levels. There are several different levels of RAID available depending on the needs of your system. One of the options available to you is whether you should use a Hardware RAID solution or a Software RAID solution.
RAID Hardware is always a disk controller to which you can cable up the disk drives. RAID Software is a set of kernel modules coupled together with management utilities that implement RAID in Software and require no additional hardware.
Pros and cons. Software RAID is more flexible than Hardware RAID. Software RAID is also considerably less expensive. On the other hand, a Software RAID system requires more CPU cycles and power to run well than a comparable Hardware RAID System. Also, because Software RAID operates on a partition by partition basis where a number of individual disk partitions are grouped together as opposed to Hardware RAID systems which generally group together entire disk drives, Software RAID tends be slightly more complicated to run. This is because it has more available configurations and options. An added benefit to the slightly more expensive Hardware RAID solution is that many Hardware RAID systems incorporate features that are specialized for optimizing the performance of your system.
For more detailed information on the differences between Software RAID and Hardware RAID you may want to read: Hardware RAID vs. Software RAID: Which Implementation is Best for my Application?

HT1848 How can I add photos to the iPad while not deleting any currently on it? I have some photos from my brother's camera that I can't get again. How could save them onto my iMac?

I have uploaded photos from my brother's camera while on vacation to my iPad (1). Now that I wish to add even more photos to the iPad, iTunes say that it will replace all the photos once I sync again to add from an album on the iMac.
WHOA.
I'd like to upload the photos to the iMac! HOw can I do that?
How can I add photos from albums on the iMac and not lose the ones I currently have stored onthe iPad.
I cannot find this task addressed in any Help reference.
I do not understand why I cannot make a simple file transfer back and forth.
Many thanks!

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How do I add a fourth USB port to my iMac?

I want to be able to use four, USB game controllers on my iMac. I have only three USB ports. How do I add a fourth port?
thanks!

There's an extra port on Apple USB keyboards. For something like a game controller, that should work for one of them. If you remove the mouse while gaming, or get a wireless Bluetooth mouse, then there are two USB ports on the keyboard. If the remaining ports are not enough, then you'll have to get a USB hub. You should get one that has it's own power supply, rather than a cheaper one that is powered only by the connection to the Mac.

How do I add a wireless samsung printer to my imac

How do I add a Samsung wireless printer to my imac/

Do you not have a manual. Samsung also have one to one links in most major countries, though from my experience they aren't the best of companies to deal with.
