How i change mac os to windows

pls help me i cant install software

You can either utilize bootcamp and switch back and forth between Windows and Mac OSX or buy virtualization software such as VMWare Fusion or Parallels which allows you to run Windows without rebooting your Mac, this option is more convenient but doesn't offer as good of performance as bootcamp.  Either option requires a full version of a Windows operating system (XP, Vista, 7).

  • How to change mac address on mac

    i'm sry i'm not sure if this is the right section or not but yeah.... nyways does anyone know how to change mac address on a macbook?

    If you have not updated your OS you can use the following command.
    sudo ifconfig enX ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
    You will need to replace the X with your network number and the xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx with the mac you want to have.
    Then run
    sudo ifconfig enX down
    sudo ifconfig enX up
    This change will last till your next reboot.
    cheers
    NOTE: This is not working in 10.5

  • How to change mac address on time capsule

    Hi there,
    How to change mac address on time capsule?

    There are routers that allow you to create/clone a mac address to whatever you like. Since many companies use the mac address to 'register' a unit connected to it's system, you usually just have to let them know you've changed your router and they will reset your system to accept connections from the new device.

  • How to change the icon for 'windows group' in Java 1.6 [Windows XP] ?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if there is a possibility to change the icon for 'windows group' in Java 1.6...
    I'm using Windows XP SP2. Now the windows from my Java 1.6 application are grouped with the standard Sun icon [screen below] on the group.
    http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/8995/iconbl1.png
    I would like to change the icon for my own. Is there a way to do that ?
    Please help.

    Whichever icon I use for the main frame (I tried few), after grouping the main frame and other sub-frames the icon is changed to standard 'Java Sun' icon as you can see in the screenshot from my first post. The problem occurs only when frames are grouped, when the are separated in the task bar their titles and icons are ok...
    So how can I change the icon/title for the group only (for Java 1.6 in Windows XP) ?

    Hello,
    I bought Toshiba with preinstalled official Windows 7 Professional 64 service pack 1. And would like to change language from German to Russian.
    According to instructions from microsoft home page I could not get the result. MUI pack is not shown when searching for Windows up-dates (some other up-dates are only available, but not language pack)...
    What would you recommend how to solve this problem ?
    Its Satellite Pro C660-1JL

    Hey,
    > I bought Toshiba with preinstalled official Windows 7 Professional 64 service pack 1
    You cant change the language on Windows 7 Professional, this is only possible on Windows 7 Enterprise (volume license) and Windows 7 Ultimate.
    So if you want another language, buy Windows 7 Ultimate or be happy with current language of Windows 7 Professional. ;)

  • How to change Virtual Memory in Windows 7 with SSD and 16GB RAM

    I have SSD Samsung 850Pro with OS Windows 7 and have installed physical RAM 16GB.
    In Adobe Help/Optimize performance/Photoshop written :
    " To change Virtual Memory in Windows 7 and Vista, quit all applications and then do the following:
    Choose Start > Control Panel, and double-click System.
    Choose Advanced System Settings in the Tasks list.
    Select the Advanced tab and click Settings in the Performance section.
    Select the Advanced tab and click Change.
    Deselect Automatically Manage Paging File Size For All Drives.
    Click each hard disk letter to show the available space on that drive. Select a hard drive that has three times the amount of your computer’s installed RAM and doesn’t contain a scratch disk.
      Select Custom Size, and type the amount of your physical RAM plus 300 MB in the Initial Size box. Type three times the amount of your computer’s installed RAM into the Maximum Size box. 
    Click Set, and then click OK. Continue to click OK to exit all dialog boxes.
    Restart the computer: If you have applications open, select Restart Later, close your applications, then restart Windows. Otherwise, click Restart Now. "
    Select Custom Size, and type the amount of your physical RAM plus 300 MB in the Initial Size box. Type three times the amount of your computer’s installed RAM into the Maximum Size box.
    I have 16GB RAM
    in the Initial Size box : 16384+300=16684MB
    in the Maximum Size box:16684x3=50052MB
    but in the description of SSD written :
    " In order to address any potential lack of memory capacity, the Windows operating system automatically generates a block of virtual memory (pagefile.sys) on the C: drive.  For example, a Windows® 7 64-bit system with 4 GB of physical memory would generate 4 GB of virtual memory at boot time.
    In the past, before PC Memory (DRAM Modules) were available in high volume, PCs needed to utilize some HDD space to address any memory shortcomings. Today, with PCs featuring 4 GB of memory or more, it is possible to reduce or even eliminate the use of virtual memory.  Additionally, using expanded physical memory, rather than creating virtual memory on the SSD, has performance and reliability advantages for the entire system.  Some applications may require the use of virtual memory. In this case, please consider your specific application requirements before disabling this feature!!! ”..."SET virtual memory in the Initial Size Box :200MB and in the Maximum Size box: 2048MB"
    what is the right choice ???
    Please Help

    Windows set to default virtual memory : 16348 MB =16GB !
    But SSD program Samsung Magician wants virtual memory between in the Initial Size Box :200MB and in the Maximum Size box: 2048MB or 4096MB. If more than 8GB suggests that SSD will work slowly.
    Perhaps the description in Adobe execution Help / Optimize / Photoshop is not correct or ?

  • How to change Mac App Store Login for Updating Apps

    I purchased a used Macbook from a local computer retailer; when they installed Mavericks and setup the account they used their Mac ID. Now it's showing updates for Keynote, Numbers, Pages, and iMovie but if I choose Update it prompts their username and wont let me change it. I assume those apps are connected to that account so it wont let me update. Is there a way to change the associated login to mine or is it safe for me to remove them and reinstall using my ID? I wasn't sure if they were core apps that would cause any damage if removed and I really dont want to format and start over. Thanks for the help!

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It is not safe to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1a. If you don't own another Mac
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    1b. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    2. Partition and install OS X
    If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In thePartition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    3. Other issues
    If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

    How to cahnge all fon'ts in windows 8.1 to Tahoma 8 for example?

    This is supposed to be a better program than Win 8.
    Did someone from Microsoft Marketing tell you that?  Maybe a fanboy?  :)
    In all seriousness it's not better in any obvious way than Win 8, nor is it really any better than Win 7.  It can be tweaked to be just about as good.  And to be fair, it's stable.
    I mean yes, we all expected Win 8.1 to be better than its predecessors
    - software releases are supposed to give you some value, some good reason to upgrade - but that kind of goes away when the software maker feels they have a captive audience as Microsoft does, and especially when they still have plenty of businesses
    buying Win 7, which pays their bills.
    But like it or not, removed choices or not, apparently Windows 8 is here to stay.  Joshua up above says "You fail", but have they really?  Once you're patching it up to make it usable they've already got your license fee, and your
    alternatives to running Windows are what, exactly?

  • How to change domain name on Windows 2003 running Exchange 2007

    Hi all,
    I have a windows 2003 server running Exchange 2007.  I am wanting to rename the domain, however when I search the web for the process to perform a rename of the domain I see "The domain rename operation is not supported in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007". 
    How can a domain name be changed?  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc781575%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
    The server runs active directory, dns, dhcp, and Exchange 2007.
    This change is being inspired by the change with SSL certs where internal addresses like .local will no longer be supported in the third party certificate registrars.  Recently we renewed our cert and did not include the .local URL.  Now the internal
    systems are getting warnings about the cert.   I tried generating an internal self signed cert but it seems only one cert can be valid with exchange 2007 running on windows 2003.  Thus the internal cert replaced the external cert and allowed
    the internal systems to run without complaining about the cert but the external access was causing warnings.  I reversed back to the third party cert.  This cert has company.com and mail.company.com and autodiscovery.  I believe if I rename
    the server to server2.company.com the autodiscovery will allow the server2 to be mapped to company.com and the cert will be valid for internal clients.
    Do I have this correct?  Are there errors with what I have found so far?
    Any suggestions about how to solve this issue short of getting a new server? How can I rename the domain?

    Hi,
    As you mentioned, the domain rename is not supported in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.
    About your question with certificate, we can change URLs to xxx.domain.com. More details about this workaround, please refer to:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/940726?wa=wsignin1.0
    Note: please make sure the same name with certificate.
    Additional, Microsoft do not recommended to install Exchange server on a DC. I suggest install Exchange server on a member server. More details to see:
    Installing Exchange on a domain controller is not recommended

  • How to open MAc os after windows installed

    hi
    today i install windows 7 ultimate in my 27\ iMAC after i cant open MAC OS what to do

    You didn't say how you installed MS Windows so I'm going to assume you followed directions using Boot Camp. If that is correct then restart the machine when you hear the Startup Tone hold down the Option key and choose the volume that has OS X installed on it.
    If you did not use Boot Camp then please restate EXACTLY how you installed MS Windows.

    "Command line utility version of 'sixpair' for OSX can be downloaded from here. Modified source code can be found here. This utility requires libusb, which can be downloaded from http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/. Choose the binary for your version of OSX."
    But I can't figure out how this works, so now I'm wondering if any of you either
    1. can explain
    2. know of an app that does this
    3. has another way

    Do you have any suggestions which forum I could post it under if not here? I didn't really find a general forum.
