I'm a long time PC user and just bought a 64 bit iMac and want to use BootCamp to play old PC games. Can I install Win XP or if it needs Win 7 can it be a 32 bit version, and how do I do it?

A Comcast rep suggested this morning that we try another browser - we tried Internet Explorer. It ran great. Are you aware of any Comcast issues? Does this mean that we won't be able to keep our relationship with Firefox? We're running Firefox 6.0.
I have this ISP vs browser issue too .. It seems Brighthouse networks preferred browser is IE & FF clearly suffers with Brighhouse the offset is the usage is unlimited.. I use my laptop too much to go with any ISP that is not unlimited usage although would prefer the ATT laptop connect card if it were unlimited use..

I am trying to print from my iPad through a network using a Cisco n900 router, any Ideas on how to do this I have hp printers older version c4480
FrankieG-
You have three potential problems. First, your printer is not on Apple's list of AirPrint printers <iOS: AirPrint 101>. Second, AirPrint does not work through a USB connection. An AirPrint printer must be connected to the network either by WiFi or by Ethernet. Third, some WiFi routers do not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.
To make your setup work, you can use an iPad printing App such as PrintCentral or Print n Share. Either may work for you if their built-in text, browser, mail and photo programs meet your needs. However, they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option. You might also try the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz.
Another approach is to run a program on your computer, that shares its printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Printopia and FingerPrint can do that, and are reported to work well. Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

My iphone screen and lock button are broken, I bought a new phone and want to get all the information off my old phone. My old phone will not sync with itunes because it has a pass code on it. I have no way to enter the pass code. Is there any way to get around this so I can still retrieve my information from it?
If you are using the computer that you normally sync with, it should sync without entering the passcode. However, if this is not the computer you normally sync with, you cannot get past the passcode, it has to be entered.

I have a macbook pro retina and a macbook air which I just purchased, I want to share all of the music on the retina with the air.
The simplest way is to use an external USB drive. Copy the iTunes folder to the drive while it's connected to your MBP. When done eject the drive. Connect the drive to the MBA. Navigate in the Finder to the /Home/Music/ folder on the MBA. Copy the iTunes folder from the external drive into the /Home/Music/ folder.
OS X Mountain Lion- Drag and drop.
If you have a backup of your MBP, then you can use it to restore the /Home/Music/iTunes/ folder to the MBA. -
If I already have an apple id for my itunes account and I purchased an iphone should i use the same apple id for the iclouid feature or set up a different one?
Personally, I'd keep it simple and keep the same one.

I am a long time iTunes user but a new MacBook owner! I keep the majority of my music files on an external hard drive. I'm trying to view all those files on my MacBook through iTunes. With windows you would go to : File/Add To Library, and iTunes would add all your selected files to your music library BUT WOULD NOT COPY THEM TO YOUR HARD DRIVE. In other words, if the external hard drive was connected, you could listen, drag/drop, and edit the files. When I tried the same thing with my new MacBook... it actually started coping the files to my MacBook harddrive. I don't want that, it's millions and millions of mp3's that I don't want to keep on my computer, only my external hard drive. Can anyone help? I'm sure it's something easy, I'm just so new to the Mac world. Being an iPhone owner for many many years I'm picking up things fast, but this is getting the best of me! Help !
In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

Long-time Elements user who had planned for CS4, CS5 or CS6 on disk
As a long-time Elements user who had planned to purchase Photoshop CS4, CS5 or CS6 right before the Cloud changed everything, why can't I get the cloud subscription for $9.99? This makes me want to just buy an older disk on EBay or elsewhere.
why can't I get the cloud subscription for $9.99?
Are you trying to subscribe to the Photoshop Photography Program (PS+LR)?
That deal is available to anyone, regardless of whether you've purchased Adobe software in the past or not.
What is preventing you from subscribing? -
my ipod touch 4th gen isnt work after a long time with 0 percent battery power.Then its not working. computer doesnt respond to my ipod .only black screen is appearing it even not wake up after reset it what can i do please help me
After being connected to a charging source overnight try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Apple TV uploads can take up to 30 minutes. I need control over this, because it interrupts my presentations. How can I control the time it chooses to do uploads?
this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem.. -
I have an ipod touch (4th gen) and just bought a clock/charger/player. It says I need ios 4.3. I keep getting a message saying I can download ios 6.? but that it will wipe everything off my ipod. Is there any way to get the ios without wiping out my files?
There is no supported method to "downgrade" iOS on any device. If you update, you will get the latest iOS for your device, which will be iOS 6.1.3. You cannot go backwards to iOS 4.3
If you have never backed up in either iCloud or iTunes, then upgrading to iOS 6.1.3 will involve restoring your device as part of the upgrade. Without a backup to restore from, you will loose everything that is on it.
You should first connect to iTunes with your computer, sync your device without upgrading and create an up to date backup of everything. Then use the upgrade option in iTunes to update your iOS.
However, if the dock device strictly requires iOS 4.3, it will not work, as you cannot downgrade iOS. There simply is no mechanism from Apple to do that. -
1 month ago I Downloaded a trial version. Today I have downloaded the program with the serial number, now I'm doing the istallation he asks me the serial number, I put it and he tells me that I need also the serial number of the previous version. How can I find the serial number of the trial version?
What program, and did you buy the UPGRADE version, or the FULL version?
Your description indicates that you bought an upgrade version... which requires proof of a previous version to install
So, if you had A and you bought A+ you need to provide your A serial number during install so A+ knows you are legal -
Hi, I have the iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!
Hello Glittergirl68,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
2. Check for app updates
You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
4. Restart the app
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
5. Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
6. Reinstall the affected app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and then download it again.
All the very best,

First you have to know what you are doing, like an engineer : you have a
Laplace, continuous time transfer function but LabView handles discrete
signals only. Use matlab/simulink if you want to simulate continuous time
systems easily...
If you definitely want to use LabView, the first step is to discretize your
continuous-time transfer function, i.e. decide a sampling rate and convert
it to a "z transfor
m". Then you can directly use the "IIR Filter.vi" as I
said earlier.

Just bought a Macbook Pro. I want a clean install so won't use a Time Machine backup but how can I install the software I bought from Apple Store? can I just delete it from the old machine that is going to someone else?
The ne
The new machine has Mavericks which is fine. And I will leave it as is. I don’t want anything from my old machine other than 2 apps that I will need on the new one. I want to be able to install those apps that I bought from the App Store onto my new computer. I assume Apple doesn’t want me to have the apps installed on 2 machines at the same time so I wonder if just uninstalling them from my old machine will release them for re-install on the new one.
