HT5628 Is there any possiblity of installing and running only windows 8 without running boot camp stuff in the background?

I want to use my mac mini as a stand alone hardawre for windows 8. If it is possible please help with what to do...

Backup / clone Mac OS X to another drive for safe keeping.
Boot from Windows 8 DVD and just format the entire drive, make sure to have everything else not needed unpugged.
Nothing hard.
What is Boot Camp 5?
Boot Camp 5 is not a release of OS X software. Rather, it is a release of the Windows Support Software (drivers). You will need to use this software on your Mac with Windows 8 or Windows 7. For more information on Boot Camp 5, see thttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT5639
Which Macs support Windows 8?
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 or newer)

I bought at Media Market the CD for installing Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 but I have no disc drive. Is it possible to install and register it online?

I was in the same boat as you, so I went to Best Buy and purchased the box (on sale, by the way). I then downloaded the trials separately for Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements from the Adobe product site.
In the box you should have been given 2 discs (one for Photoshop Elements (PS) and one for Premiere Elements (PE)) and something called a "redemption code" on a square of colorful cardboard with instructions on how to get your serial keys for installation. The single redemption code is NOT the serial/product key you use to install your purchase. Once you follow the instructions on this card you will be shown two serial/product codes, one each for PE and PS. Write them down, print them, whatever, you will need them during installation.
Now go to the downloaded trial file(s) and run the installer, either for PE first or PS, it makes no difference. During the installation you will be asked if you want to start a trial or use a serial/product code. Choose "I have a code". Enter the product key and you will be golden. Repeat for the other program.
Hope this helps!

Any way to install Vista in 10.4 other than Boot Camp?

Since Boot Camp for Tiger went to the chopping block, is there any way to install Vista on my old-ish iMac? My brother's a gamer....

I don't think so.
The closest thing you can do would be getting VMware Fusion
It's a parallel so it runs right on your mac side
It's not quite as fast as native speed, but it's about 90%-95% and works really well for everything except gaming
There's a free beta out now, so you might wanna try that

Problems installing Windows 7 with boot camp, cant find the cd/dvd driver...

I´m having some problems installing Windows 7 on my new 12,1 (21,5) iMac with boot camp. When the computer restarts and the Windows 7 setup begins, i get the message that the cd/dvd driver cant be found, so i can't continue the installation. I've tried searching online for the driver, but can't find it. The cd/dvd seems to be a OPTIARC cd/dvd ad-5690h, which seems to be produced by Sony. I have a authentic windows 7. I even tried loading everything ver to a usb-drive, but then it wont boot.

After reading around on this, and other forums I tried to burn a new dvd at reduced speed(2x), but that did'nt work either... I have an authentic windows 7 iso, downloaded with serial, is there any way to boot this from a jump drive or external hdd?

Is there any "contraindication" about installing every updates from Windows Update (and Intel drivers)?

Hello!
The question is in the title.
I decided to reinstall Windows 7 on my MacBook Air using Boot Camp and I'm trying to play a video game which is quite laggy. I downloaded and installed the lastest driver for HD Graphics 4000 and my computer didn't explode. Can I also download all the optional updates with Windows Update, including the ones concerning drivers? I read somewhere that we shouldn't install other drivers than the ones on the Boot Camp x.x Support Software installer... Is it true?
Thanks!

Peter,
From what I read, I thought Internet based clients always download from Microsoft Windows Update first?
"New in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, when you have a software update point that is configured to accept connections from the Internet, Configuration Manager Internet-based clients on the Internet always scan against
this software update point, to determine which software updates are required.
However, when these clients are on the Internet, they first try to download the software updates from Microsoft Update, rather than from an Internet-based distribution point. Only if this fails, will they then try to download the required software updates from
an Internet-based distribution point. Clients that are not configured for Internet-based client management never try to download the software updates from Microsoft Update, but always use Configuration Manager distribution points."

My iphone 4 is locked, is there any way to reset it to factory settings without using a pc? see the details first please

so, i know that there are many questions about a locked iphone, but my case is quite different, i think.
i just happened to change my passcode this morning before fasting (i'm fasting) and then i left it charged while i went to sleep. stupidly, i didnt write down the new passcode and after a good sleeping, it seemed i've lost my good memory about the passcode and i cant get closer to what it is. ive erased my phone through find my iphone, but i have no idea how to use the phone brand-new because the phone isnt connected to any internet connection (my connection is a bit obstructed here so its really difficult for me, hence my country), so it seems i cant enter the setup assistant. ive tried to enter recovery mode with itunes on my pc, but my itunes is not the latest version (it's still 11.1.xxx), so my itunes didnt detect any iphone in recovery mode but instead always ask for new software update for the device. i cant update my itunes due my connection problems. si im stuck with remembering what's the passcode until now. i dont care if i have to lose all of my data, as far as i can use my phone again, i just can re-isntall all the apps later. so please can anyone help me? im so desperate. thanks.
(iphone 4, ios 7.1.2)

If you've erased your phone through Find My iPhone, you've erased the saved WiFi passwords along with everything else.

Is there ANY possible way to back up my Macbook (2009, running on OSX 10.5.8) using Time Capsule using a cable/not using the internet? I'm willing to come in-store to do this if necessary!

Time Capsule/Time Machine were working fine until about 1-2 years ago when my family started having troubles with the internet provider (AT&T). While on a 2 hr long phone conversation with them trying to fix it, they changed the wireless key code or whatever so Time Capsule could no longer connect to the network (icing on the cake - they didn't even fix the issue). And it had been so long since I had initially set up Time Capsule that I didn't know how to set it up again.
Situation is a bit more complicated now because I'm living on campus in another state, and the campus wifi is very slow/goes in and out a lot. They don't recommend connecting routers to their network bc they say it will make it even worse.
It just makes me really nervous that I haven't backed up my laptop in a couple years. I have thousands of priceless photos and years of hard work that I would very much like to keep safe. I paid all this money to have an external drive and am dying to continue using it! It just doesn't make sense that I can only use it wirelessly - there must be another way. I'm desperate to back up my laptop and will come to Genius bar if necessary to resolve this issue!
PLEASE HELP!!!

This can be done easily with ethernet.
Please follow the instructions strictly.
To make it easier I want you to do this overnight so you can turn off all your current connection to the internet.
Just go to the airport fan in to the top right and turn airport off.
Get ethernet cable and connect the laptop to the TC lan port.. ie <-> ones.
Press and hold the reset on the TC for about 10sec. until the front led flashes rapidly.
Open the airport utility.. go to manual setup and change the wireless to off. (so other people around you cannot join your network of one).
Ignore all the errors.. they won't stop the backup working.
Go to the TM and reselect the backup target disk as the TC.
It should start after 2min and run through to completion.
That is it.. for a backup of many GB it might take a few hours.. so make sure the laptop has power plugged in and the sleep is off.. (on early ones I think this is needed but I am a late arrival to the scene).. sleep doesn't affect later OS.

Is there any way of accessing my iPod through Windows without having to reinstall the apple iPod driver every single time?

I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen, and whenever I plug it into one particular computer, it has trouble detecting the camera's files (but it works on all others). I know this tells me that it's either a driver conflict, or something in the BIOS. I don't particularly want to be messing about in the BIOS though if I'm completely honest. Can anyone give any insight as to what my ipod is conflicting with/why it won't open in Windows.
The only time the iPod opens in Windows is if I go into 'Devices and Printers' and troubleshoot the device "Apple iPod" (Apple Mobile Device USB Driver works fine) but I have to do this every single time!
The computer I am using is running Windows 7 64-bit.
I have looked at the list of conflicting drivers which are given by Apple and I own no drivers by any of these manufacturers as far as I know.
(Thought I'd be better underlining that because someone will probably try and send me to that page.)
Image examples:
Examples before troubleshoot
I do as I'm told
Now appears under portable devices.
I have to do this EVERY TIME I want to access the photos.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

No. Have you tried:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Installing windows xp on boot camp and parallels??

Hi all,
I am using a Macbook with a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB of memory on Mac OS X 10.5.8. I currently have Parallels 5 installed running Windows XP. I need to run Windows off of Boot camp according to the support from the program I am trying to run "Chief Architect X3" as I need to utilize the video card "natively" I believe the word was. Parallels is unable to recognize and use the card properly for this program. So my question is two fold does anyone know if there is a patch that allows Parallels do this? Or can I install Boot Camp on my machine as well with Windows XP so that I can utilize the video card for this program. Do I need to uninstall my Parallels virtual machine? Also programs that are installed via Windows, if I install Boot Camp/Windows and delete my virtual machine/Windows do I need to reinstall those programs? Any and all information is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Laura

Upgrade to Parallels 6, new build just out. And ask on their forum.
You have to install XP natively first and then enable under a VM to activate properly.
Everything will need to be installed. there are few ways to get a VM to a "native" hard drive partition. And Windows activation is another issue.

Error 0x80070017 when installing Windows 7 via Boot Camp...

I've been trying hard to research this issue and haven't come across anything that has worked for me.
At work, we have an iMac (Early-2009) that we wish to install Windows 7 on. Previous user has left, so I reinstalled Snow Leopard (10.6) and used Disk Utility from the disc to reformat complete to GUID single partition Mac OS Extended (Journaled), which is pretty standard for Macs. Mac OS X installed and booted just fine. I updated completely to 10.6.8 and all other updates. Only installed Microsoft Office 2011 and Firefox.
So Boot Camp begins...
Found that the early-2009 model doesn't "support" Windows 7 64-bit, so we are fine going with 32-bit. The 32-bit Windows 7 disc has been used to install Windows 7 using Boot Camp on 2 Mac Mini's (one Intel Core Duo, the other one Intel Core 2 Duo) just a few days ago.
Opened Boot Camp Assistant, partitioned the 1TB drive equally, inserted the Windows 7 disc, and clicked Restart.
It boots from the Windows 7 disc, I go through the options, choose the BOOTCAMP partition and format it (I assume Windows 7 is choosing NTFS for me). Click next.
It copies the files instantly, but then "begins" to Expand the files. It remains at 0% for 5-10 minutes (I can hear the Windows 7 DVD spin down and spin up, but mostly spin down). That's when the error hits:
"Windows cannot copy files required for installation. The files may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070017"
I click Ok and cancel the install. Restart and boot back into Mac OS X. And here I am.
Important Notes:
I've tried multiple times with a 64-bit disc as well. I will likely go check out another 32-bit disc from our software department, but I know this disc works on other Macs.
This issue occurred a month back as well when we attempted to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp (so before the hard drive and OS were reformatted and reinstalled). I was hoping reformatting and reinstalling the Mac OS X would solve the issue.
The Superdrive appears to be working just fine.
I read somewhere that I need to use repair disk to fix it. Does anyone know if I can repair disk a NTFS partition? Or am I suppose to repair disk the parent drive itself? The place I read it wasn't specific AT ALL and the forum was closed and I couldn't find a way to get a hold of the person. It just said "Repair disk did the trick". People, if you find a solution to your own problem, POST the solution!
Thanks in advance!

Yea, I saw that kb article. I verified we have the early 2009 iMac. It's an iMac 9,1 (3.06 24-inch, A1225).
As far as different hardware, I really don't think so, but I'll have to double check with my fellow employees. The specs all match up, but I'll see if anyone remembers having to replace hardware or send it into Apple.
I did think of trying an external DVD drive too, I'll see if I can scrounge one up. I'll post if it works or not.
The employee using the machine knows Windows, but is willing to learn the Mac OS X. Diversify your experiences I always say!
An added note to the Repair Disk "solution". Turns out you can't run Repair Disk on NTFS partitions or the parent hard drive that contains that partition, which makes since. I can only run Repair Disk on the HFS+ partition which did no good. (This is, of course, from booting up using a Mac OS X Install DVD).
Mac_Win, thanks for the suggestions!

Is there any possibility of connection between QM notifications and the WL in Collection Management?

Dear ALL,
Our duty is to find any possibility to show (and to manage, of course) on the Collection WorkList, not only open items already registered in FI-AR, but also any notification registered under the QM module, bearing in mind that it is not an open item, yet.
Is there any possibility?
Thanks in advance.

in short the answer is no.
You could look at customer disputed objects and using them, but you would need to re-key the data, there is no standard way of transfering data from QM to create a dispute.

Hi there, i want to buy a registered version of PS CS4 (and an Upgrade to CS6)from a private Person...is there any Possibility to check if the Adobe ID,Licence,User is a real person...or a fake before buying it? Thanks for helping!

Hi,
just got an offer from a private Person, who owns a boxed Version of Photoshop CS4 (DVD) and an Upgrade from CS4 to CS6....he told me that he can transfer the current license to me... now there's one important question for me...
Is there any possibility to check his Adobe-ID (which he already told me) if it's the same adress, name,etc. as he told me...
or if there is an registered Version of PS CS4 owned by this Adobe-ID?
Just like to check if he's a real person or a fake...don't want to buy any stolen or illegal software...or beeing punked after paying the money...
Thank you very much for helping me! :-)
Chriss

Old versions of Photoshop are not marketed by Adobe. Only CS5 can be upgraded to CS6. There are many scams on the web if you find a cheap copy of Photoshop out there its most likely a scam... Be careful.....

My documents on my iCloud storage got automatically deleted, is there any possible way to recover them? They're nearly 1GB and very important to me.

On January 26th, I downloaded iCloud for Windows and logged in using my account which was the same with the one on my Mac. 2 days later, at 3:27 PM January 28th, my 1 GB of documents on my iCloud storage got deleted automatically. I'm saying this because at that time I was sleeping and both my Mac and my Windows PC are turned off, and I'm home alone, besides there was no suspicious login reported to me by Apple.
So is there any possible way to recover these documents? I'm a teacher and they're very important to me. My Time Machine wasn't enabled so using it is useless.
Thank you so much for any help.

Please please help me, if you know how.

Hii Can anyone tell me is there any possibility of giving some due payment like bonus or offcycle after its termination is done along with the payroll run and posting.

Hii Can anyone tell me is there any possibility of giving some due payment like bonus or offcycle once employee termination is done along with the payroll run and posting.
Thanx

One Possibility is by making manual entry for that employee from FI side.. (this will give you soln..) Take the help of FI consultant...
Another possibility is in IT0003 "Payroll Status".. You can opt mention next month date "Run Payroll up to" & execute Off cycle payroll for that employee...
Just try this hope this may sort your issue....
If it still it doesn't give you soln.. You may need to reverse the posting of that employee & change employment status.. Run Bonus & finally terminate the employee & do the posting..
