Keyboard error with '@' when in WindowsXP (using Parallels Desktop for Mac)

When I go to type '@' when in WindowsXP (using Parallels Desktop for Mac) the symbol ' " ' appears; I have to type ' " ' to achieve the ' @ ' symbols. Can anyone help?

Try switching the keyboard layout in XP to other countries. Maybe US from UK.

Using Parallels Desktop for Mac

I have a Mac 10.5.8. I also am running Leopard. I want to be able to run Windows XP. I'm scared of getting a virus using Windows. So my question is this. Can I partition off space on my Mac, using Windows with Parallel 5? So if i get a virus that I can't get rid of, I can just rid myself of the partition. Is this possible?
Thank You!

Windows viruses will affect Windows, not the Mac. Parallels creates a pseudo-disk by creating a sparsebundle disc image. The disc image is independent of OS X in the sense that a virus infecting the Windows system on the disc image cannot migrate to the Mac anymore than it could if you had a separate PC.
That said you can use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition on your hard drive then install Windows on that partition. You can then create a Parallels virtual machine that uses the Windows installation on the Boot Camp partition.
For clarification 10.5.8 is a version of Leopard, not a Mac model.

Parallels Desktop for Mac

I am purchasing a new Mac-Mini and want to run Parallels Desktop for Mac. I previously was using Virual PC for the Mac. Does anyone know whether I can use the windows professional onthe Virual disk to load windows in the Parallel program?

The short answer is technically yes, but not easily (depending on your threshold of "easily") and more headache than it may be worth. Check out the following threads (one from the Parallels support forums, the other from elsewhere in Apple Discussions that offer input and a solution. For the steps in the post in Apple Discussions you do need a copy of Windows running somewhere for this to work.
Thread from Parallels
Thread from Apple Discussions
Also - although doing this is technically possible, I'm not sure you wouldn't be in violation of the Virtual PC EULA in doing so.

Troubleshooting Address Book issues using Palm Desktop for Mac (v. 4.2.1) and a T3?

Can someone please make suggestions which would correct the following issues?
1) When printing an Address Book from my Mac, the information in the "title" field prints twice. (I have checked my Preferences settings & reviewed how I have entered the information, etc. and everything is in order; also, an Address CARD DOES print correctly --- and --- after syncing to my T3 and then to my husband's PC, an Address Book prints correctly from the PC.)
2) After I have synced the Address Book from my Mac to my T3, the "zip code" entries appear BEFORE the "city" entries on the T3. (The zip codes appear correctly on my Mac and print out correctly.)
3) After I have synced the Address Book from my Mac to my T3, the "contacts" all appear in BLACK on my T3. Is there any way to show the different "contact categories" in COLOR on the T3 as they were originally entered in my Palm Desktop for Mac?

VMWare Fusion vs. Parallels Desktop for Mac + Captivate?

I'm likely to purchase a new MacBook Pro in the very near future, and wish to run Captivate on it. I've seen a few posts in this forum by folks using VMWare Fusion with mixed results. The posts are a couple of years old, so I'm curious to get the latest thoughts.
1. Which software -- VMW or Parallels -- would you recommend to run Captivate, and why?
2. Which version of Windows should I purchase?
3. What configuration do you recommend for the Mac: RAM, processor speed, hard drive speed (7200 vs 5400 rpm)?
Thanks.

HI,
I use VMWare Fusion on a souped up PC platform. I had been away from the MAC platform for over 10 years and had to allow myself time to get used to the new MAC OS interface. I found that switching between VMWare Fusion and the MAC OS was straightforward - after I got used to things. Since I don't want to invest in a new Adobe Technical Suite and a new Adobe CS4 Master Collection, I use VMWare Fusion on a daily basis.
I would much rather run everything on a real MAC, but since that alternative is not economic (nor are all features available) I am happy to run the MAC OS with my graphics card, and still have the full benefits of the graphics card when I'm running Photoshop and Illustrator from VMWare Fusion.

Deployment error with LabVIEW 8.0 using a Desktop PC as a RT Target

Hello!
I am attempting to use LabVIEW Real-Time 8.0 with a desktop PC as the RT Target.
Everything appears fine when I look at the computer using MAX. I can fiddle with the Target’s IP, install software and transfer files between my Windows machine and the RT machine without any difficulties.
To get started with LabVIEW I have followed the instructions in NI’s document: "Getting Started with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module".
( A copy may be found at this location: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371375a.pdf )
My difficulties arise under the "Creating a Real-Time Project and Application" subsection, which begins on page 8 of the document.
I follow the instructions to create a project using the Real-Time Project Wizard and all goes well – I can connect to the target without issue in LabVIEW and monitor its performance with the Real-Time System Manager – until I try to deploy and run the VIs on the RT Target.
The deployment process fails nearly without exception every time I try to deploy any of the dependent VIs using the Project Explorer (I say nearly because maybe 1/100 times a VI is deployed successfully). I believe all the permissions have been properly set (in both LabVIEW and Windows) to allow the host and the target to communicate and collect data so I am not sure what the problem is.
Interestingly enough, VILIB dependencies always deploy successfully -- And the intrigue does not end there! If I build a standalone Real-Time application (like that detailed on pages 18-21 of the manual linked above) I am able to deploy to the RT Target. Setting the application to run on startup, the RT computer successfully reboots and is able to generate a sine wave and I can view using the host VI on My Computer.
I would like to be able to build and deploy VIs freely using the Project Explorer but am not sure how to achieve this seemingly simple goal. If anyone has encountered a problem similar to mine even feels that they know if the problem is related to hardware or software the help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Bob,
My System uses Windows XP. I use MAX 4.0.0.3001 to install software on the Real-Time computer. I am using LabVIEW 8.0 to deploy VIs to the Real-Time System. Also, if its any help, I am a D-Link DGE-550T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
The Remote System uses LabVIEW Real-Time 8.0. Note that a fair amount of software to add functionality to the system has also been installed here from My System via MAX.
Here is an example of how my Deployment fails:
I follow the instructions in "Getting Started with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module" and create a project using the Real-Time Project Wizard. (The contents of such a program may be viewed in a picture that is included in the ZIP file I have attached.)
I open the LVPROJ window and proceed by connecting to my RT device. I right click on the target and choose 'Connect'.
A Deployment window will pop up and display the following text:
Deploying RT (successfully deployed target settings)
I close the window and proceed to deploy my primary VI titled 'target - multi rate - variables - fileIO.vi. I right-click on the target and choose to deploy. Again, a deployment window will pop up - this time with the following text:
Deploying My Computer
Deploying variables - network - RT.lvlib
Deploying variables - network - RT.lvlibistop \\192.168.1.2\ variables - network - RT\stop.
Deploying variables - network - RT.lvlibidata \\192.168.1.2\ variables - network - RT\data.
Deploying RT (successfully deployed target settings)
Deploying support - acquire data.vi (3.20K)
Deploying Trim Whitespace.vi Failed to download Trim Whitespace.vi
The deployment usually, but NOT always, fails on Trim Whitespace.vi. In any case, the deployment will always fail for some VI and continue to fail in the same manner until My System is rebooted. Attempting to individually deploy any of the VIs also fails the vast majority of the time and if any VI fails it will continue to do so (...until a hard reboot, in which case it may or may not fail assuredly).
Attached to this post is a ZIP containing all the files associated with this RT Project (not including the libraries of dependencies associated with LabVIEW, of course).
If you feel that more information about hardware or software in use would be useful, please ask.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Smash126,
Based on the error message” Could not allocate a new page for database REPORTING' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting
autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup”, we can know that the issue is caused by the there is no sufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY' for the ‘REPORTING’ database.
To fix this issue, we can add additional files to the filegroup by add a new file to the PRIMARY filegroup on Files page, or setting Autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup to increase the necessary space.
The following document about Add Data or Log Files to a Database is for your reference:

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a template?

Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a Pages template?

You are getting an error message because there is an error.
Knowing wht version of Pages you are using, what template you are attempting to open, and what error message Pages is sending you might help determine why you are getting that specific rror message. Without those, the first sentence above i pretty much all that can be said with any assurance.

Hi LordZc,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can find more information about iTunes restore errors in this article:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This information relates to error 1:
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
Since you have already tried to restore more than two times, I recommend checking for issues between iTunes and security software using the steps in the article below:
Resolve issues between iTunes and security software
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
After doing so, see this article for the steps to restore when your device is in recovery mode:

Error message when attempting to use scanner Canon model MP610

Error message when attempting to use scanner Canon model MP610, any one have any fixes, suggestions?

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, empty trash, reboot when complete.
For the other problems...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

I have a imac OSX 10.5.8 and get a java "error" message when trying to use a research tool on Morningstar.Java referred me to Apple but they had no updates. Any ideas? thanks.

Well I solved my problem.
What still doesn't make sense though is that dragging iTune audio files directly on to the iTunes application icon gave me the error message... which is why I originally discounted it as being a potential link problem. If I had been able to get files to open normally (i.e. without an error message) I would have known it was a simple link problem. Strange.
Anyway... relinking my folder of audio files did the trick.
If you don't already know how here are the steps...
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click on the "Change" button and browse to the folder that contains all of your iTunes audio files... that's it.
