I recently purchased windows 7 ultimate with bitlocker.

I am having a problem with bitlock on the os drive, it asked me if I have trusted platform module and the I may need to activat it by going to bios and activate it there. I have a Pavilion A4313W not sure of bios release but i can get it and log back on if needed. I am trying to find out what I need to do, if I do not have a TPM can I get one.

Some motherboards have a TPM chip built in. OEM version, especially desktops would not normally, unless it was requested in the Business platforms. If yours does have the chip, it should be evident in the motherboard somewhere, and marked TPM. Here is a page that shows a typical hardware device: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_Module

I recently purchased an iMac with Maverick system. I want to know can I install my Photoshop CS5 on this computer then upgrade it to CS6 without a months charge in the cloud?

I recently purchased an iMac with Maverick system. I want to install my Photoshop CS5 on it, is that okay?
Then I want to update it to CS6 without the iCloud purchase monthly (don't want that, want a one time charge)???

As per System requirements | Photoshop, PS is not officially supported on Maverick and you might face several compatibility issues as well. However, we have many users who are still using CS5 on Mavericks. So, if you want you can give it a try and check it for your self.
As far as CS6 is concerned, you can get PS CS6 perpetual version easily from Adobe.com Creative Suite 6
Hope that Helps!

I have recently purchased an Ipod with 2430 tunes stored on it and I wish to transfer these tunes to Itunes and then upload them to another Ipod. How do I do this please?

I have recently purchased an Ipod with 2430 tunes stored on it and I wish to transfer these tunes to I tunes and then upload them to another Ipod I own. In plain speak how do I do this please?

On-The-Go Playlists, created on your iPod Classic, are added to your iTunes Library when you Sync the iPod to the same iTunes Library that you have been using up to now.
But note that On-The-Go Playlists, saved on the Classic, are named as New Playlist 1, New Playlist 2, etc. and are listed at the end of the Playlists. When you Sync your iPod with its iTunes Library, those saved Playlists are transferred to the Library, renamed as On-The-Go X (where X is the next available number) and then added back to your iPod with the new name. They will also be in correct alphabetical order, so they will be in the Playlists list under O for On-The-Go.
If you also have an On-The-Go Playlist on the iPod (which has not been saved), that too will be uploaded to iTunes in the same manner.
For some unknown reason, you will also probably see one extra, but empty, Playlist created in iTunes. This is a bug, which may get fixed one day! Until then, you simply have to delete in in iTunes.

I recently purchase macbook air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my Seagate external backup plus hard drive for time machine back up. How to partition my 1TB Seagate back up plus hard drive for use with mac and windows pc?

Hi All,
I recently purchased 13" Macbook Air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my 1TB Seagate backup plus external hard drive as time machine and my windows 7 pc. Please suggest a method. Thanks in advance for your reply.

I strongly recommend having an external drive dedicated solely for TimeMachine. You could partition the drive but if something goes wrong you risk losing the data on both partitions. Should you decide to go ahead with splitting the drive for two different uses you’ll need to partition the drive either using the Mac’s built in Disk Utility program or Windows utility. I believe the built in Windows disk utility program will destroy the current partition and erase the data that’s on it - I use a third party Windows disk utility program for partitioning and it allows for non-destructive partitioning but warns to back up data first just in case. Apple’s Disk Utility can do non-destructive partitions but I don’t recall every trying to do a non-destructive partition on a disk originally formatted for Windows using it. Again - back up that data just in case.
Finally, your TimeMachine drive should be at least 1.5 times (I prefer 2 times) the size of the data you expect to be backing up a year or two from now. In other words, if you currently are using 50GB of your computer’s drive but expect to begin purchasing Mac software to replace software on your Windows computer and if you expect to be putting photos, music, and other data on it you might expect that two years from now you’ll have 100GB of stuff on the drive. So a 200GB partition is the smallest size you’d want. TM’s backup scheme keeps multiple copies of data as it changes so the extra room is important for this scheme.

I recently purchased Windows 8 laptop and installed Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to the new PC, I got iTunes to import it and sync it to my iPod (3rd gen). However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Contacts

I recently purchased a Windows 8 laptop and istalled Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to my new PC I got iTunes to import it, and then synced it to my iPod (3rd gen.) However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Calendar or Contacts with my iPod. When I try it crashes Outlook. iTunes continues to try to sync, but when it finishes my Calendar and Contents are empty (ERASED!). I have de-installed and re-installed iTunes (according to Apple's instructions), repaired Office 2013 and Outlook, scanned for viruses (etc), cleaned out temp folders, defragmented, etc., etc., etc. Has anyone seen this before, and does anyone know houw to fix it? (HELP!)

Well, I guess I have to download some other software to make my apple product work. Really great stuff you guys sell. I will never buy another apple product. My Iphone, Ipod and Itunes are junk

My recently purchase iMac came with pre-installed operating software but no backup disks. What happens if I find it necessary to re-install?

Having ditched Windows after years of frustration I recently bought an iMac with Lion pre-installed. While not necessary at this tme there were no installation disks sent with the purchase. What happens should I find it necessary to reinstall the operating system?

No. You do NOT have to buy Lion again.
If you replace your HDD or erase the recovery partion, it will download and install lion from Apple' servers.
See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Quoute:
If you happen to encounter a situation in which you cannot start from the Recovery HD, such as your hard drive stopped responding or you installed a new hard drive without Mac OS X installed, new Mac models introduced after public availability of OS X Lion automatically use the Lion Internet Recovery feature if the Recovery HD (Command-R method above) doesn't work. Lion Internet Recovery lets you start your Mac directly from Apple's Servers. The system runs a quick test of your memory and hard drive to ensure there are no hardware issues.

R&R won't install on Windows 7 with BitLocker

Hi all,
I am trying to install the latest version of R&R (v4.3) on my T400 that is running Windows 7 64 bits. In my setup, I have 3 partitions (C, D and E) and have BitLocker enabled for C and E.
While trying to install, I got the warning message to suspend or remove BitLocker encryption before I'm allowed to continue. I followed the instructions to suspend BitLocker in C and restarted the installation. However, I'm again prompted with the same warning message as before.
I just want to check if this is a bug with the installer (since I've already suspended BitLocker in C) or do I really have to remove BitLocker from both C and E partitions (which I really hate to as its really time consuming).
Any advice is much appreciated.

Hi,
Maybe too muh info, but really usefull for your situation:
To achieve compatibility with BitLocker Drive Encryption, it is recommended to
install the Rescue and Recovery program to your operating system after the
partitions are properly set up with the Microsoft Bitlocker Drive Preparation Tool.
When setting up the BitLocker partition, it is recommended to use the Microsoft
BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool. The boot partition should be at least 2 GB in
size.
If you do not use the BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool to prepare the BitLocker
partition, you must have two partitions on your system when installing Windows
=> One partition should be 2 GB and marked as active; this is where the boot files
reside.
=> The other is where your operating system is installed and where your data
will reside. When Windows 7 is installed, it will detect the two partitions and
should install only the boot files to the smaller partition. Both partitions should be
type 0x07.
Compatibility with BitLocker without TPM
If the security chip (TPM) is not activated in the BIOS Setup Utility, to achieve
compatibility with BitLocker without TPM, do the following:
1. Run gpedit.msc from the Start menu. The Group Policy Editor window opens.
2. Click Computer Configuration → Windows Components → BitLocker Drive
Encryption → Operating System Drives.
3. Enable the Require additional authentication at startup option
4. Select the option Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM.
Best practice of BitLocker encryption on a system with the
Rescue and Recovery program
To have the Rescue and Recovery program work correctly with BitLocker in
Windows 7:
1. Uninstall the Rescue and Recovery program if it has been installed.
2. Restart the computer and use the BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool to prepare
the system for BitLocker Drive Encryption.
3. Install the Rescue and Recovery program and restart the computer.
4. Start BitLocker from Control Panel and choose the partition to encrypt.
Note: It is recommended to encrypt the Windows operating system partition
(usually drive C) only.
5. Click Turn on BitLocker, and follow the instruction on the screen to encrypt
the chosen partition. After that, a recovery key is automatically created.
6. Save the recovery key to a USB storage device.
Note: Keep the USB storage device in a secured place. The recovery key is
needed when booting to Windows 7 or the Rescue and Recovery workspace.
The BitLocker encryption will be lost if the hard disk drive is cleared by the
Diskpart commands or other hard disk tools.
7. Wait until the encryption process completes. After that, you can use the Rescue
and Recovery program to perform backup and restore operations.
For more information about BitLocker, go to the Microsoft Web site at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933246/
Notes:
1. When setting up BitLocker in Windows 7, the BitLocker partition should be
after the Windows operating system partition for best results. If it is placed
before the Windows operating system partition, the partition number will need
to be updated in the Rescue and Recovery ADM settings.
2. When restoring a system that is using Windows 7 and BitLocker, a message
will display, indicating that there was an error at shutdown. The message can
be ignored and everything should operate normally.
3. For OEM or non-Lenovo standard preload systems, you need to suspend the
encryption of the Windows operating system partition when performing any
backup or restore operations using the Rescue and Recovery program,
otherwise the Rescue and Recovery program will not enter PDA.
4. You might need to clear the TPM and encrypt the partitions again after
restoring the system from a backup with BitLocker encryption.
Let me know, if you need any more specific information.
Cheers

HT1695 Hi. I recently purchased the Ipad with Wifi + 3G but cannot get the Wifi to work. Do I need a password for that?

Recently purchased HP 850 with Windows 8.1, unable to upgrade to Windows 10

I received my new HP ENVY Phoenix Desktop 850 (850-050qe CTO / M0K54AV#ABA) with Windows 8.1 (shown under Windows Edition). The shipping container states that this desktop is ready for Windows 10 upgrade. However, I do not see the "Get Windows 10" app on the toolbar. I have downloaded all available updates (recommended and optional), but there are two missing (KB2919442, and KB2919355). After reading through numerous articles, it seems that I need to install KB2919442 first before installing KB2919355, but when attempting to install KB2919442, I receive an error message "this update is not applicable to your system". Please advise!

Can my MacBook Pro use boot camp with Windows 7 with BitLocker encryption?

I'm at wit's end with this, and I'm hoping I can get some advice here. I've read so many forum, posts and reviews that I'm not entirely sure what I can trust.
I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,3). I need to run Windows encrypted for work purposes. It needs to be real windows with full-disk encryption (FDE). The business tools run in boot camp, but not in Parallels, because Parallels doesn't support DirectX 11. I would also benefit greatly from an SSD.
I do not want to do anything hacky like removing the Mac reocovery partition, because I've read that just loading Disk Utility in OS X might mess up your patrition boot tables as it tries to "fix" things. I don't want to have to manually reocover to fix stuff or chance losing data.
I have read (and tried) installing BitLocker on Windows 7 Ultimate under boot camp, but ran into the partition limit on my internal HDD. A maximum of 4 partitions are allowed, and between OS X, its recovery, boot camp, and the Windows partition, all 4 are used.
I have considered one of the following, which may work:
Install OWC's Data Doubler Kit with an additional 240GB SSD (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DDMBS6E240/). I would replace the internal SuperDrive with the HDD, and install the new SSD on the faster SATA 6G port. Windows would be installed on the SSD and OS X would stay on the HDD.
Replace the internal HDD with a new SSD (keeping the SuperDrive). I would lose OS X altogether and just have Windows installed.
Forget the entire thing and just buy a PC for work.
My thoughts are that with option both options #1 and #2, I don't even know if these setups will allow BitLocker. In both cases, Windows will be the only partition on the drive, so I'm assuming that when BitLocker is installed, there will be room for the new partition it creates. With option #1, I'm pretty sure I'd still be using Boot Camp, but how would that would for option #2? Is boot camp used even though there is no Mac partition? Would I still need to keey the Mac Recovery partition for this to work? I'd probably need to use Boot Camp drivers under Windows, I think.
I'd certainly be interested in using a self-encrypting drive (SED), especially a SSD, but I'm concerned that most of them appear to require TPM or BIOS functions that Mac's EFI does not provide. Such a drive would allow me to drop BitLocker, but I would need to be use the self-encryption actually works on this setup. From what I've read, most of the SED drives will work just fine under EFI, but you won't be able to set or access the encryption password, which pretty much makes these drives unencrypted.
I've read that BitLocker can be configured to use a flash drive as a decryption key, but I haven't been able to test that yet. I'm tried creating bootable flash drives under Windows and OS X, and none of them seem to appear when I access the boot menu (hold option during boot chime). I don't even know if this system supports bootable USB flash drives, or whether they can be used as a BitLocker key under boot camp.
For the record, I have attempted to use an external thunderbolt drive as my Windows partition, but Windows doesn't want to be installed on removable media, and even if it worked, I believe you can only boot OS X from thunderbolt. I do have a second OS X install booting from the thunderbolt drive, so I know that works. Also, FileVault 2 is installed on my OS X partition, and I read something about FV2 using the Recovery partition somehow so you can't remove the recovery partition to make room for BitLocker.
So ... does anyone have any suggestions preferably based on personal experience as to whether options #1 or #2 should work for my needs?
At this point, I'm really thinking I should just bite the bullet and purchase a PC that I will forever look down upon.

Are you using a MacBook Pro? Is everything installed on the same drive?
I would love to know how that install was performed. When I install Windows under boot camp, my MacBook Pro drive ends up with 4 partitions: Mac, Mac Recovery, Windows, and a small partition that I believe is used by boot camp.
Installing BitLocker on Windows requires the creation of a new small partition that Windows will boot off. The small partition is unencrypted, while the primary Windows partition will get encrypted. The following post discusses the maximum partition issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22753791#22753791
Has anyone installed Windows through boot camp on it's own drive, and if so, can BitLocker be installed on that without reaching any partition limit? I'm assuming that's possible, but would like to know before I spend hundreds on new hardware.

School who has windows servers and recently purchased iMacs with Apple svrs

Hi Folks
I like to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Ranj and I am the IT manager at Queensbridge School in Birmingham, UK.
Our school has recently purchased 44 iMacs with an Xserve and XRAID box.
We are school with mainly windows and unix servers and this reason for us buying a apple server was so we could lock the macs down using managed preferences which we have successfully done.
Our Xserve is connected to our active directory system, and from there it allows our students to login to the macs using there windows credetionals. As the apple server talks directly to AD it also connects to their home share folders.
The problem is my windows server only has a 400gb raid and my plan is to somehow migrate all the home folders from the windows 2003 server to our XRAID but am having trouble with it preserving the windows permissions.
I know that Apple can talk via SMB and if i moved the home directory data to the apple server i would still be able to see it on the windows side but am having trouble copying all the files and folders whilst keeping all the ownership and security information.
Does anyone know if there is a util or script which will allow me to do this. Has anyone successfully used robocopy (a microsoft tool) which i am familar with and managed to copy data from a windows server to an apple server.
If anyone can help me with this problem it would be most greatly appreciated.
I have to say I been a Windows user all my life but can now see why Apple Macs are a big deal, there are so much better at what they do compared to their window conterparts.
I am looking forward to the world of Apple and this forum
Thanks

Hi Ranj,
welcome on the forum.
I use the cli command rsync for it. I know colleges who use ditto or asr for it.
all programs have good man pages or help.

How do you re-download recent purchases onto new computer

Recently had computer refurbished with a new hard drive and I wish to re-download a recent purchase from itunes with out having to pay for it again. The new itunes 10 mentions this is possible, but does not give instructions on how to do it. If anyone know, appreciate your help.

Update iTunes to 10.3.1 iTunes 10.3.1
After it's installed, launch iTunes. Select iTunes store in the source list on the left then click Purchased "new" under Quick Links on the right. You can re download your iTunes purchases in the next window without re purchasing.
Always a good idea to backup your iTunes media.
