Installation and deployment of operating system, applications and patches in Unix environment
Is it possible to use Configuration Manager 2012 (or 2012 R2) to perform remote installation of operating system, applications and patching in a Unix environment?
Balaji Kundalam
ConfigMgr does not support Operating System Deployment for non-Windows OS flavors.
You can use the ConfigMgr client on a Unix device to install applications and to instruct the device to install patches. Basically, the client will download files and run a script against them. If there is a patch manager in your flavor of *nix, you
can run a script to install the patches.
See the supported operating systems here:

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this an endemic problem with others? I'm using Google Chrome as my browser. Is this an issue with the problem?
Similar problem just happened to me with the Creative Cloud Update 1.7.1.418—slightly different so I thought I'd share. I have multiple Adobe Creative Cloud programs installed on my computer, all working just fine. I updated the Cloud App to the latest version and then it shows me that I have only one program installed! All my previously installed programs (Photoshop and the like) still work but show as "install" instead of "Up to date". Initially I thought I'd have to re-install the Cloud app or recreate the OPM data base but then I noticed that some of the Cloud app preferences (Apps > Settings > App Language) were different to what I had set previously. I use English (International) language, the update had reverted the app back to English (North American). I flicked back to my previous language and bam, all my apps now show as being installed correctly.

I upgraded the OS on my iMac to Lion from the App store; and after installation, it restarted and now the operating system won't start up.... it keeps displaying the apple/folder with a question mark and a circle with a line through it! Please help!
Try starting up with your Snow Leopard DVD and see if the disk can be repaired. Once you are at the installer screen go to the Utilities Menu and choose Disk Utility and choose repair disk. You might also want to try Diskwarrior.
Hope this helps.

Configuration Items and 64 Bit Operating Systems
I have created a few CI's that check for a value in the registry. The key I'm using in the setting is the 32 bit HKLM\Software key. I have checked the box "This registry value is associated with a 64-bit application". What I'm looking for is a
32-bit application installed on both 32 and 64 bit operating systems. With that box checked, according to this article (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712331.aspx) it will
search in both the 32 and 64 bit registry locations, meaning it should check in HKLM\Software as I have in the setting and also in HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node. Is this correct?
I'm asking because it isn't doing this and reporting that the 64 bit computers are non-compliant instead, when they are compliant. How do I get it to check the 64 bit registry path without building separate CI's and adding them to a separate 64 bit baseline?It just sounds like it checks both locations as stated below.
This registry key is associated with a 64-bit application -
Specifies whether the 64-bit registry keys should be searched in addition to the 32-bit registry keys on clients that are running a 64-bit version of Windows.
Note
If the same registry key exists in both the 64-bit and 32-bit registry locations on the same 64-bit computer, both registry keys are discovered by the global condition.
So, how do I get it to check the HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node? Does it redirect to check here if I
don't check that box than? -
Demand of protection and improvement of operation system
Demand of protection and improvement of operation system
From April 2014 the support for Windows XP will stop. Therefore I try to find a way to protect the OS
Currently I have many problems with Windows.
I have experience with Windows Vista, Windows 7 and of course with Windows XP
So I can compare.
XP was straight. Currently I work with general Internet connection with limited user rights.
For maintenance and new installation I use Administration mode (user mode with unlimited rights).
To eliminated male ware or virus I have to use safe mode or safe mode with Network.
Microsoft Vista was to compact and tried to provide User mode with limited user rights for all users.
Basically the concept for User mode with limited user rights should be voluntary required and not be required for all users.
I guess if separate user profiles will be provided, it will be easier to the user to understand what the user needs or like to go for.
Following 5 modes could be provided
First the Risky mode should be provided (actually it is needed to set up the PC).
Then the user should have the possibility to switch between the modes
-Administration mode 1 “to install new soft and hard ware”
-Administration mode 2, Safe mode “maintenance, male ware and virus elimination”
-Administration mode 3, Safe mode with Network connection ”Administration mode 2 with Network connection”
-User mode 1 with full user rights. (Risky mode) for brave advanced user, who do not be afraid against attacks from the Internet.
-User mode 2 with limited user rights and possibility to switch to a mode with higher user rights.
Otherwise it will be very difficult, if you prefer, to be protected against external attacks over the Internet.I'd ask them over here.

Mac won't update software or access iTunes shop. Message comes up with 'not connected to the net. Check connections' error. I still have internet access. Changed my Apple ID but no result. Repaired permissions and re-installed operating system.
It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

I'd like to carry my system, applications and files on a portable Thunderbolt ssd drive and boot from it. I have a Mac Pro in the office, iMac at home, a MacBook Air for when I'm on the road, all with TB. Can a single external TB drive boot all three hardware configurations successfully? I've been told that differences in hardware configurations between the systems make this impossible. Is this correct?
Piece or peace of cake really though.
A quick install on new hard drive or SSD or 10K and less than an hour to move everything over properly.
YOU looked for a quick fix and found none and all the brick walls.
It is not days of work to do a clean install and migrate.
There are few if any apps that need to be freshly installed either though there are updates needed for them to be compliant, any driver or plugin also and that is done ahead of time with research.
And your backup or clone of your system is taken care of - you leave the old system boot drive 'as is' untouched.
Also, better strategy to move most all your home folder (except for its own ~/Library) to ANOTHER disk drive and not on t he system drive at all.
As for applications on its own drive or 3rd party, beeen there done that, even SSD or 15K SCSI - no benefit in performance or organization. -
I had to delete everything on my computer and install the operating system again , but I had to install Snow Leopard because it was the cd that came with the computer when I bought it. The problem is that I had already paid for the OS Lion and even had upgraded to the Mavericks . I do not think it's fair to have to pay again and I would like to upgrade my operating system without having to pay again for the same system.
Hi anatuta,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are trying to upgrade your Mac to a newer version of OS X, after completing a fresh install of Snow Leopard.
If you have already purchased and downloaded OS X Lion and Mavericks, you should be able to find these items in the Purchased section of the Mac App Store.
You may find the steps in this article helpful with finding the items:
Mac App Store: Finding your purchased apps - Apple Support
If you do not see the items in the Purchased section, they may be hidden:

All the best,

Is it possible to have windows on another operating system and keep OS X on the original operating system ? and If yes, Would it do any changes on the original operating system ?
Thanks in advance.1. On your computer, yes. Use Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, VirtualBox, or similar software.
2. No; if you use an emulator, it may install system components. Back it up anyway.

I need to work with the RAW files on a SONY RX100III camera. I use Photoshop CS5 and a Mac operating system OSX 10.6. Is there an Camera RAW upgrade or an alternative program that works here?
You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

Operating system name and version
HI, I was wondering where SCCM gets the value for "system resource - Operating system and version" from.
I have created a limiting collection for servers based on "%windows server%" query and a limiting collection based on "%windows workstation%" for workstations.
Now I noticed that there is also a value "Windows 7 Entreprise 6.1" for system-resource - Operating system name and version.
Therefore I would like to know where this information comes from as I can no longer be sure tat every device is covered by using "%windows server%" and "%windows workstation%"WMI: Win32_OperatingSystem or from AD (don't have a console next to me right now to look that up)

INdesign and 64 Bit Operating Systems
Been having problems with my INdesign, and the tech people on the support line said it is because I have Vista 64 bit operating system. This sounds very strange to me, as INdesign is the industry standard, and 64 bit operating systems are the norm. Does any one else have experience trying to run INdesign on a 64 bit system?
Bob's right; I'd suggest ignoring the 64-bit issue and just getting familiar with coming to the forums for assistance. I've worked phone tech-support jobs before; phone support reps are judged by how fast they can get you off the phone, and if you start the call with "Hey, I'm running ID on a 64-bit system" then they can get you off the phone immediately, so you just gave their call-time metrics an easy statistical boost.
1) So, yeah, the baseline grid will cause stuff to snap to it if you have that setting turned on in the "Grids & Guides" section of the View menu.
2) "Manual overrides" means that you can format text manually by clicking on the Font menu, and that will cause your formatting to diverge from what is defined in the style. Take a look at the style name; does it have a little plus next to it? That means that the text you've selected diverges from the style. Clear the overrides to return the text to the settings in the paragraph style. You can do this with an alt-click on the style name, or by clicking on the options pulldown in the Paragraph Styles panel and choosing "Clear Overrides." I do it so often that I have a keyboard shortcut set up to do it (in Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts).
