How do I hibernate my mac so that I can keep me session, and reboot to win?

Are there any programs that allow me to hibernate my mac and then reboot into windows?

If you use Parallels Desktop

or VMware Fusion

How do I partition my MacBook Pro so I can keep Snow Leopard and also install Mountain Lion?

How do I partition my MacBook Pro so I can keep Snow Leopard and also install Mountain Lion?
I want to install the latest OS, but I already know that I will lose a lot of my software unless I can partition the hard drive and have two "bootable" drives.
How do I retain everything I have, partition the drive, then reloa the software I own according to which OS it will work under?

I do not currently own OS X ML.
I am currently running OS X (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) on my MacBook Pro. It has a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but many of my software titles will not operate with ML and I cannot afford to replace some of them (Adobe Creative Suite, for e.g.)
After I back-up my HD and then partition the HD, how do I use the back-up to reinstall what I want to the SL partition, and then place the rest on the ML partition.
I have not done what you want to do, so can only offer some general thoughts in support. Take value from the following where you can. No guarantees.
If it was me, I would use a disk clone utility (e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner) to image the existing Snow Leopard disk to an external drive. Then verify that the external drive would boot and run Snow Leopard normally.
I would then purchase and download the Mountain Lion upgrade installer, but not run it. Use Lion Diskmaker to make a bootable USB stick, and perform a clean install of Mountain Lion, replacing the Snow Leopard on your MBP. This way, you make absolutely certain that no third-party drivers or other SL cruft remains to make Mountain Lion unstable. Update to latest ML point release. Fix permissions. Let TimeMachine make a full backup of your ML installation to a different external drive. Then turn of Time Machine.
In Disk Utility, use the + sign at the bottom of the ML partition to add another GUID, HFS+ Journaled partition for Snow Leopard. Resize to taste. Name it differently from your ML partition. Exhale.
Now ideally, you would like to reverse the external clone and put it back into the new SL partition. Then fix permissions. And demonstrate that you can boot into individually stable OS X installations. This would save you alot of work. Resist copying your home directory into ML just yet.
If you cannot successfully achieve the preceding paragraph, you will be faced with a full SL and application reinstall.
The ~/Library contents for SL and ML are sufficiently different that you do not want to mix them. You may want to salvage Safari bookmarks.plist. And, ML created folders in the home directory may have different permissions or ACL settings than in SL. So, my rule of thumb would be to copy folders that you created in SL, and only the contents of matching named OS created folders such as Music, Pictures, Downloads, etc.
For each operating system, you probably want the Time Machine settings to exclude the opposite OS X partition. If you use the same host name in Sharing prefs, then you will mix SL and ML backups on the same Time Machine back up drive. If you use different host names, they will be distinct folders in the Time Machine backups.backupdb and allow discrete restores per host. You may also want to gag Spotlight from indexing the opposite OS X partition.

I need to know how to create a dual boot so that I can have Windows 7 and the Mac OS

I need this so that I can have Microsoft Access, because it's not available for Mac..
And, I have so many computer games that I have for Windows that I want to play on my Mac.
Help please!

You do not open it yet.
First you need to read this: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_Late2010.pdf
This will tell you when the Windows image is required.
Prepare for this on all fronts first ... backup/clone, and read the ENTIRE document.
Then ask about what to do with the Windows ISO.
At least in my humble opinion. This can go badly quickly if you miss a step.

How do I label a photo so that I can export the iPhoto and have the label stay with the picture

How do I label a picture in iPhoto so that the label stays when I export the iPhoto to a dvd?

What do you mean by 'label' exactly? I can think of several possibilities:
Text on the Photo
Coloured Label like a Finder label
Text in the Exif or IPTC metadata
Filename
and we've see all of these used on here as 'label'. So if you can clarify we can help more.

You already have a CD+G disc.
You cannot make another as it is a violation of copyright.

Hello mrmacjohn,
Verifying that any iCloud account that may be signed in is signed out should resolve this error.
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

How do I uninstall Google Drive so that I can reinstall the upgrade?

I have a Mac Air, Processor 1.7 GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X (10.9.3)
I have been using Google Drive to share files with friends and family but this week began getting a pop-up that I need to upgrade my Google Drive software.
I downloaded the file from Google but when I try to install/replace, I get the following two messages:
The operation can’t be completed because the item “Google Drive” is in use.
The operation can’t be completed because a required item is in use.
My browser is closed so I don't know why it appears that the software is in use.
So, I checked this forum and found that because of some problems with Google Drive and OS X, I need to "uninstall" my current Google Drive application but I don't know how to do that.
Can someone please tell me, step-by-step, how to completely uninstall this software so that I can reload the newer version?
Thanks so much for your help!

Open Google Drive window. Click On "Settings" at top of window. Select move to trash. Then Empty Trash.

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

This comes up a lot these days.
Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100), Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent), find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
Good luck.

The Apple solution is to register for and use separate Apple ID's on both devices and Apple software:
Purchase FaceTime from the Apple Mac App store. (US$0.99 for Version 1.1 last time I checked).
The US iPad 2 already includes the FaceTime App.
I've read that Skype also works with a Skype app for the iPad, but I have not tried it.

My itunes is on an old computer. So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years. How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again? Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.

My itunes is on an old computer. So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years. How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again? Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.
I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts. Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins? Really concerned about losing any music, etc.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

How to store data in hashmap so that it can be used by different methods.

Hello,
I have an ADF/JSF application and the database is DRM. The program gets data from DRM into this hashmap. Program needs this data frequently. Getting this HashMap is very resource intensive due to a lot of data it has.
I want to get the data in HashMap once ( I can do this - no problem). But where/how do I keep it so that different methods can just use this and not make individual trips to DRM? It may be a very basic java question but I seem to be stuck :)
I am not very concerned about the HashMap part, it can be any collection - the question is of storing it so that it can be used over and over.
Thanks,

User,
If I understand you correctly, you have a JSF application that needs to store data in a HashMap such that it can be accessed over and over? You could put the hashmap into an appropriately-scoped managed bean and access it from there. I'm not sure what a "DRM" is (a digital rights management database, perhaps, in which case it's a "database"), so there is something special about a "DRM" that we need to know, please share.
