How do I get unique UUID on identical systems in Windows?

It appears that all my MBP13" systems have the same BIOS information on the logic board. This causes Windows to generate the same UUID when it is installed. We have a program Kurzweil 3000 for students with learning disabilities that requires each system to have a different UUID. It works fine with one computer at a time, but if several students use the program at the same time, it gets all kinds of error messages bringing information down from the web. The developer has narrowed it down to the UUID. Any idea on how we can change this? Maybe change the number Windows pulls from the logic board. Or some other application that allows us to edit the UUID.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Hi there,
I have the exact same problem with Kurzweil. Did you find a solution?
Thanks

How did I get duplicate (as in 2) System Preferences windows?

Greetings ACS Fellows,
As a loyal and faithful Mac user who has used Macs for many a year, how can it be possible that I have right now - upon the iMac desktop of yours truly - running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 albeit in 64-bit mode; two, count em', two System Preferences windows? I've stumbled upon many strange things in my time, but this one has me absolutely befuddled
Thanks in Advance,
mm~

I was able to do this on my 10.5 system, but not on my Mavericks system, so there are changes somewhere along the way.
Launch System Preferences (that is 1 copy).
From an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session enter the command:
/Applications/System\ Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System\ Preferences
and you will have a 2nd copy.
What a 3rd? Just issue the Terminal command again.
How you managed to do it, I do not know, but the System Preferences app will allow multiple instances of the app to run concurrently.
Again, by the time Mavericks was released, something was changed, and only 1 copy can be run. The above trick will not work on Mavericks.

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

How do I get my tabs back into the main window?

I've had a problem with an add-on displaying a small extra window every time I open a session for some months now: I know you're supposed to try disabling and re-enabling every add-on you've got to find out which one is responsible, but this is a work computer and with all the add-ons I have, it would take too long, so I've just closed the extra window every time and got on with my work. However, for some reason today my forty-odd tabs have all opened in the small extra window, which has no tab bar, navigation bar or menu button. How do I get my tabs back into the main window of Firefox, or alternatively get that window to behave like a normal Firefox window so I can use it?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7.

I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!

This was the scenario:
The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
Now I got back everything except for my photos.
(Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
Thank you.

How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

'''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
# If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
# Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
# Select Tab Groups.
# Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
# Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
#A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
# Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
# Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
# DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
# Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
# So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

How do I get javadoc to open in a new window?

Hi,
How can I get javadoc to open in a new window rather than a tab in JDeveloper?
Thanks,
Will

Right click the FireFox button in your toolbar and look in the properties- middle tab...make sure that it only has "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with no other link added to the end. I had a similar problem this morning and found a website had attached it's link to the end so it would always pop up first and would only open a new tab.
Hope that fixed it.

I have cs5. It's an upgrade. How do I get it on my new system?

The system I was using it on decide it was time to die, so now I'm trying to install my cs5 on my new system, (using my cs5 disk) and it's telling me I don't have the requirement. (which the new system wouldn't, it's on my dead old system) HELP! what do I do now? How do I get cs5 on my new system? I have the disk, and serial number. Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks John. Sorry if I sounded crabby, I do apologize. I'm just aggravated about all this. I clicked on that link you sent, I couldn't find a number to actually talk to someone, just sends me to the forums. I did find a link for "Issues when updating the software" I clicked on that and it got me to another link, "error, this serial number etc" , I click on that. It takes me to another page, says to register the product. *it already is and has been for years* then says for me to contact them. I'd love to, but all I've been getting is sent to the forums. Anyways, this last link/page states that I need to talk to a support staff member to enter some code. And that's where I stand.

How do I get rid of duplicate identical views of iCloud contacts in 'Contacts' on my iMac

Here is the left hand window as it appears in my address book. I had to disconnect from iCloud in order to restore Photo Stream. The recent iPhoto update had disconnected iPhoto and Photo Stream. This is now repaired and everything else (Calendars, Notes, Reminders, iWork) seems to be working well. There are no duplicate contacts just two ways of accessing the same lists. iCloud to iPad is fine.
How can I get rid of the duplicate view? Seen similar problems on this site but not found anything quite the same.

Found the answer myself while helping to set up iPhone. It is simple when you know how. Before signing out of iCloud to sign in again and restore the link to Photo Stream I had opted to copy iCloud contacts to the Mac. When I signed in again this created two iCloud views which can be seen in Contacts Preferences. I just disabled one of them. Not brave enough to attempt removal but I gues this would work too.

If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.
