Is this the correct windows for my mac?

I hope i'm not being really annoying with posting so many questions....
This site, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US , says for my mac, the MacBook Pro 13-inch, Late 2011 should work for Windows 8 64bit, windows 7 64 bit and winodws 7 32 bit.
With that in mind, I chose what seems to be the newest, the windows 8 64 bit.
I found this on amazon and just wanted to make sure this is what i need. is this the full install cd and not just an upgrade? http://www.amazon.com/Windows-System-Builder-OEM-64-Bit/dp/B0094NY3R0/ref=sr_1_1 ?ie=UTF8&qid=1377372064&sr=8-1&keywords=windows+8+64+bit+full
i tried looking, but im not very tech savy, so i just got confused....

It is annoying to not just ask in the same thread you had already...
Title suggestion: Windows 8 OEM System Builder
That being said, 8.1 is due in October. Not sure if system builder will allow or not, so you might want to shop Microsoft for retail or wait for "buy now and get free upgrade"
8.1 runs smoother and nicer than 7 once you turn off Metro (which 8.1 makes easy).
Links to Amazon: anything from "ref" on are just extra and not needed. Search terms, user wish list location and ID.
Windows 8.1 Preview is free download but I think you need to be running 7 or 8 already, try:

  • Is this the real forum for genuine mac supporters?

    its a shame to find Apple deletes posts that talks about the disappointing support offered by their partners...

    is this the real forum for genuine mac supporters?
    Since no one here works for Apple and we all volunteer our time, yes, this is a forum for genuine Mac supporters. However, it is hosted by Apple and we have to adhere to their rules. Your post was not a technical support question that anyone here could answer. It may have been deleted before you saw my reply, but I suggested you write a letter directly to Apple. It's extremely unlikely anyone who could address your issues would be reading this forum.

  • Is this the correct area for IPhoto 7.1.5?

    Trying to fix a friends computer (a thankless task). It's a dualgig G4 with OS 10.4.11
    Finally got just about everything working but IPhoto won't launch. Did a complete update from OS10.4 and all appropriate apps including from IPhoto 7.0.1
    first, is this the correct area? In the heading for Iphoto discussions, it jumps form iphoto 6 to iphoto 08.
    Since before I did the software updates, IPhoto would not launch either from the doc or the program icon in the application folder. Any ideas what to do?

    Yes. This is the correct forum. iPhoto 7.1.5 is iPhoto 08. This is the numbering relationship between iPhoto and iLife:
    ▪ iPhoto 1: released January 2002
    ▪ iPhoto 2 (iLife): released January 2003
    ▪ iPhoto 4 (iLife '04): released January 2004
    ▪ iPhoto 5 (iLife '05): released January 2005
    ▪ iPhoto 6 (iLife '06): released January 2006
    ▪ iPhoto 7 (iLife '08): released August 2007
    ▪ iPhoto 8 (iLife '09): released January 2009
    ▪ iPhoto 9 (iLife '11): released October 2010
    What happens when you try to launch iPhoto?
    Try the following: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Is this the correct ram for my asus sabertooth

    Is this the correct memory:
    Kingston HyperX 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) XMP Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C9D3K3/12GX
    For this Board:
    ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

    Yes, that RAM will fit in your motherboard. At $109, it's well worth it to get 2 kits to get 24GB... if your budget allows.

  • Is this the correct type of Ram for a mac mini?

    I have a 2007 Mac mini, and want to go from 1gig to 2 gigs of Ram.
    I currently have 2 512's
    I need to know 2 things. (i'm pretty sure on both but i'm not a huge hardware guy to bare with me)
    1. Will there be any compatibility problems? I.e if i upgrade to 2 gigs will it even help or because the rest of the computer is not being upgraded will it be useless?
    2. If i'm good to go, Is this the correct type of Ram? http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=4E665783A5CA7304
    Not sure if these are needed but will post anyway:
    Model Name: Mac mini
    Model Identifier: Macmini2,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 1 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    Type: DDR2 SDRAM
    Thank you in advance <3

    NO, it will NOT work.
    You have to find the memory specific for Mac, and rule of thumb, Mac Intel chips usually take "ECC" memory. On occasions, You can get away with Non-ECC (on certain PPC Power Mac G5 towers) -- You can check on-line stores, like Newegg, Tigerdirect, or Goolge search for the Mac Mini memory. I got mine (for my two Mac 2,1) on line, and I put 4G (2x 2G), although only 3G was available.
    It is worth of upgrade it. just need to find the right memory.

  • Adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem

    Hi,
      I got this message after importing about ten or so H.264 files that I encoded from Adobe media encoder.  "adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
    The files we're shot with HD cameras.  Edited in Premiere Pro CS3.  I installed the update 3.0.1 with still the same error.
    I also tried a brand new project and after about ten or so files being imported into a timeline, the system crash.  I tried this twice....
        Thanks in Advance

    Hi Hunt,
           Here is the skinny.  A window base PC.  footage shot with HD sony HD cameras,  Project imported to Premiere CS3.  Once completed sent file to Adobe media encoder and render them as H.264 widescreen high Quality.  Imported them to Adobe Encore CS3.  After about ten files or so.  I got the error message.  Did all the basic trouble shoot like restarting the computer, got latest patch.  Even build a new test project with the same problem.
        Something else I read in the forums, is the encore will transcoded the project to Mpeg 2 anyway, after looking at my project I realized those few files were indeed untranscoded.  So it will be a double compression and I dont want that.  So, my new question is, what is H.264 good for ?????????? I was research that Mpeg 2 is a faster render but H.264 is a slower render but better quality.....
       what do you think ????

    Hi, John,
    Not that you asked, but as you proabably know, analytic functions are much better at doing this kind of thing.
    You may be amazed (as I continually am) by how simple and efficient these queries can be.
    For example:
    WITH     got_grp          AS
         SELECT     proj_id, proj_start, proj_end
         ,     proj_end - SUM (proj_end - proj_start) OVER (ORDER BY  proj_start)     AS grp
         FROM     v
    SELECT       ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY grp)     AS proj_grp
    ,       MIN (proj_start)                         AS proj_start
    ,       MAX (proj_end)               AS proj_end
    FROM       got_grp
    GROUP BY  grp
    ORDER BY  proj_start
    ;Produces the results you want:
      PROJ_GRP PROJ_START  PROJ_END
             1 01-Jan-2005 05-Jan-2005
             2 06-Jan-2005 07-Jan-2005
             3 16-Jan-2005 20-Jan-2005
             4 21-Jan-2005 22-Jan-2005
             5 26-Jan-2005 30-Jan-2005This is problem is an example of Neighbor-Defined Groups . You want to GROUP BY something that has 5 distinct values, to get the 5 rows above, but there's nothing in the table itself that tells you to which group each row belongs. The groups are not defined by any column in hte table, but by relationships between rows. In this case, a row is in the same group as its neighbor (the row immediatly before or after it when sorted by proj_start or proj_end) if proj_end of the earlier row is the same as proj_start of the later row. That is, there is nothing about 03-Jan-2005 that says the row with proj_id=2 is in the first group, or even that it is in the same group with its neighbor, the row with proj_id=3. Only the relation between those rows, the fact that the earlier row has end_date=03-Jan-2005 and the later row has start_date=03-Jan-2003, that says these neighbors belong to the same group.
    You're figuring out when a new group starts, and then counting how many groups have already started to see to which group each row belongs. That's a prefectly natural procedural way of approaching the problem. But SQL is not a procedural language, and sometimes another approach is much more efficient. In this case, as in many others, a Constant Difference defines the groups. The difference between proj_end (or proj_start, it doesn't matter in this case) and the total duratiojn of the rows up to that date determines a group. The actual value of that difference means nothing to you or anybody else, so I used ROW_NUMBER in the query above to map those distinct values into consecutive integers 1, 2, 3, ... which are a much simpler way to identify the groups.
    Note that the query above only requires one pass through the table, and only requires one sub-query. It does not need a WITH clause; you could easily make got_grp an in-line view.
    If you used analytic functions (LEAD or LAG) to compute flag, and then to compute proj_grp (COUNT or SUM), you would need two sub-queries, one for each analytic function, but you would still only need one pass through the table. Also, those sub-queries could be in-line views; yiou would not need to use a WITH clause.

  • The finder window for an external USB hard disk suddenly started separating files by time (today, yesterday, etc.) and stopped allowing me to change column width, order, etc. Also the header bar shifted to flat white from gray.

    The finder window for an external USB hard disk suddenly started separating files by time (today, yesterday, etc.) and stopped allowing me to change column width, order, etc. Also the header bar shifted to flat white from gray.
    All was normal until the icon for the disk stopped showing up on the desktop when I would plug it in. I rebooted the computer, and the disk icon now shows up but this new look to the finder window started as a result. The hard disk does not have this problem when I use it on another Mac running Snow leopard. Also, two other external hard disks that I use on this computer running lion 7.4 still have the normal header bars with columns that can be reordered, etc.
    I have tried looking in preferences and other places but have not seen this discussed. 

    Well duh - I finally figured out that somehow in the View options for the hard drive, the "arrange by" option had been changed to "by date" from "none". Not sure how that happened, I had never used the "view options" menu tem before. Changing "arrange by" back to "none" gets the gray column headers and the collapsible folder icons back.
