I am wondering if it will be a good move to install fusion 5 on my iMac. I am wondering since I did the split to run windows 7 if this means that I will have to erase all and start from the beginning

From what you say, I understand that you already installed Windows 7 on a second volume. Is this correct?
In that case, it doesn't make sense to use VMware Fusion unless you want to run Windows and OS X at the same time. If you do that, you will keep all your data.
If you haven't installed Windows 7 and you want to install it in VMware Fusion, you will be installing it in a virtual machine, so you won't lose anything.
I recommend you to have a look at VirtualBox first > http://www.virtualbox.org It's free and it's sufficient for most of users

    In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same time?
    Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.

  • I can't remember the password I used when I did a "backup to computer". Does this mean that my only option for backing up my iphone from now on is using the cloud? #I've tried any PW i can recall ever using, I must have gotten creative darn it.#

    I did a backup decided to do a full backup with a password. I forgot the password I used (it was a couple of months ago and I must have gotten creative with it.) Without that password the option to back up to my computer is dead, right? My only option for backup will be the cloud. I want to be sure I understand the mess I am in.    I have tried the passwords I have used before, I cannot believe I did this

  • Delete everything in Sharepoint 2013 and start from a begining

    How do you delete all the settings, databases in Sharepoint 2013 and start from a begining.
    We have some problems that PictureURL is wrong and some other thing ain't working right. Because Sharepoint 2013 is in our test environment we would like to delete all settings, databases including PictureURL info, which I don't know which SQL database holds
    that information?
    bostjanc

    The pictureURL parameter is either going to be in the specific site collection in the User Information List, or it is going to be in the User Profile Synchronization Service Application, which is what syncs over to the User Information List. You will need
    to identify exactly what you are trying to clear out. If you are not using User Profile Synchronization in your test environment then the following will help you find and delete the appropriate Site Collection or content database.
    Any content is going to be Site Collection specific, so if you are setting the pictureURL for a user in http://portal.domain.com/sites/somesitecollection then that Site Collection will be in a specific database which may also contain other Site Collections.
    To find out which database a Site Collection is in go to Central Administration -> Application Management -> Site Collections -> View All Site Collections. Here you can find the Site Collection you are browsing to. When you select it you will see
    what content database it is in. You can also just delete the Site Collection here without the need to delete the entire content database. Instead of clicking View All Site Collections in the steps above click Delete a Site Collection. That is probably the
    better route to go.
    If you are using the User Profile Synchronization and this is where the picture URL is set then you will want to go to Central Administration -> Application Management -> Service Applications -> Manage Service Applications -> Click your User
    Profile Service App and then view the user profiles. Find the user you want to remove the pictureURL for and edit that user profile to remove the picture.
    Hope that helps!

    Agreed.  Even the iPhone has multiple built-in keyboards to choose from.

    My wife and I both have MacBooks (I have MacBook Pro and she has Air) and both are associated with my apple ID since I bought them. However, this means that Safari is linked for both her and I as well as our contacts etc. Can I still use mine ID for apps for her but associate hers with her own ID that I have yet to make?

    Well with the MS Hotmail/Outlook.com account that is hard. But she should be able to link all of it to the iCloud system using her Apple ID.
    I suggest you do a Google search for "link contacts, Calendars, iMessage with iCloud".
    For some stupid reason MS has limited the syncing/linking of only emails and Notes with the Hotmail/Live Mail/Outlook.com system.
    They have not included any Exchange features for syncing all that info. That is unless you are using Outlook 2013 and that is only for Windows.

  • I have bought ipads for my kids, so far i can only let them use my apple id and this means that any apps they download sync to my apple id, the problem is that one game they want to play wont allow them to have seperate profiles?? can anyone help?

    i have an ipad mini, i have bought them for my kids too.
    how can i get them seperate profiles so they can use  or play their own apps and not sync with my account.
    i have tried to create seperate apple ids but this wont let me due to their ages.
    i have turned on and off home sgaring but this made no change.
    any ideas??

    Apple has a reptutaion of maintaining a high level of privacy and security. This means that accounts are not meant to be shared, though they can be, and defintitely not merged.
    That does not come without a price however.
    I completely understand that the kids would want their own profiles when playing games, but app developers are required to follow apple's protocols in order to distribute their apps via apples app store and be used on their products.
    I'm going to go out on limb here and say the apple has chosen to put the job of parenting in the hands of parents.
    What I do know is that as the kids get older and everybody gets their own devices and accounts, it will be a lot easier and lot less confusing when everyone has their own apple id. (especially when they start having their own contacts, calendar events and everyone in the home is syncing to icloud)

  • Some songs starts on my iPod, then stop and start from the begining and play all the way through

    Hey,
    While listening to songs on my iPod Classic 120gb, some songs will start to play, after 2-3 seconds, stop and start again from the beginning and play through the entire song no problems. On iTunes the songs still plays fine no stopping or starting. All songs are random artists and songs.
    Help! its really frustrating!

    Hey andy8299,
    Do you have any other music software (i.e Limewire) installed? If so perhaps these files are not compatible.
    See this for compatible song formats:

  • Can't forward/reply or write/send an email. Can open and read but that is all. Can't close that page. Have to shut down and start over. Frustrating!

    If I want to forward an email, I hit forward, type in the name, tab to start writing something and am unable to do so. The page is outlined with tiny dots (as if it were perforated). When I try to close it down, a small box appears asking if I want to --Discard - Save as a Draft - Continue Writing -- It makes no difference which one I click on, none work. I have to close completely and open my email to continue reading my emails but that is all I can do.
    If I use Chrome as my browser, everything works fine. However, I like Firefox (other than your recent support of gay/lesbians - which is why my husband quit using Firefox and maybe I will too, now!)

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • HT1430 I plugged my iphone up to my computer and it erased all my pictures from the past week and restored my past pictures already stored on my computer and erased my text messages and restored my old text messages.  how do i retrieve my pictures?  HELP!

    How do i retrieve my pictures?????

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Were these pictures from the camera roll or from photo stream.
    When you restore from back up, the process will restore the OS and some initial data, it will then restart and allow you to use your device while the remaining data is downloaded and restored in the background. have you allowed enough time for this to complete.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • Do I really have to erase everything and start again?

    Hello and thanks for taking the time to read this! I'll try to be as succinct as possible.
    My boyfriend's MacBook, which I also use for my own music library, died some time ago and had to be reset at the local Apple Store. All data was lost on the hard drive, but the machine is up and running again.
    Just bought a new CD and added it to the iTunes library, and iTunes recognised my phone when I connected it. My iPhone 4S has always been set to manually manage music and videos as we both have very different taste in music. Simply syncing is not an option. On dragging the songs to my phone in the menu in the top right, iTunes highlighted my phone, I let go and nothing happened. The songs were not transferred to my phone. I tried again and no result.
    I went to my iPhone's settings and noticed that 'manually manage music and videos' had become unchecked. All other settings had been unaffected, as far as I could tell. I set it to 'manually manage music and videos' and clicked 'apply'. I got a message indicating that I needed to 'erase and sync' because of a problem with the authorisation of my phone with this computer. The phone was obviously authorised previously, before the hard drive had to be wiped.
    Is there a way around this? Can I remind iTunes that my phone has already been authorised somehow? With over 25 GB of music on my phone I am desperately keen to avoid spending countless hours going through hundreds of CDs and rebuilding the library on the MacBook so that I can transfer it all back.
    To make matters all the more frustrating, because of my working hours I cannot call Apple Support since they are not available when I am free.
    The MacBook has the latest operating system but I cannot recall what it's called, and iTunes 10.0.3. The iPhone 4S is running iOS 6.0.1.
    Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks!

    You can only sync/manually manage music with one iTunes library at a time. Since the computer was wiped/reloaded, this is now a different iTunes library.
