Moving through Windows

hi, anyone know how I rotate through open windows on Safari; my fingers move to do Tab plus the button with the "cmd square-type logo thing" but this rotates through open programmes not windows.
thanks

Hi,
You're close Try command+` (the backtick symbol, usually just above the tab key)

HT1515 I have moved from windows to mac and had to reset my airport. I am trying it to join the existing wireless network. the process ends in an unexpected error. The ethernet connection seems to work OK

I have moved from windows to mac and had to reset my airport express. After the reset I enter the name of the existing network, name the base unit, enter its password twicw and select additional options as join the existing network. It comes back with a screen asking for the name of the base unit and password. Aftre which it starts cycling between "waiting for airport express", "connecting to 'network name'" and ends with an error message. When I try to set up using ethernet cable evrything works but I need wireless (it worked OK just hours ago). Any advice?
Thank you

Hello, vgafromva.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the AirPort can resolve this issue. However, here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues connecting to Wi-Fi.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply back with the exact error message received.

MacBook USB port broken. Need to backup through Windows PC.

Since my situation is a bit complicated I will be starting off with some background information:
I currently own a MacBook Pro 15inch (mid 2010) 2.4GHz, Intel Core i5, 4GB (running OS X 10.8.5)
My USB ports haven't worked in 2 years (I assume that i must of over powered them) however, when I insert my USB powered speakers into one of the two USB ports it powers them, and with the use of an AUX I am able to transmit the sound BUT my MacBook is still not able to recognize any other USB or external hard drive device. Still not sure why only my speakers receive power through the technically broken USB ports so if anyone can offer any insight on this, that would be great.
Moving on to the main problem:
So I want to format and reinstall the software on my MacBook BUT FIRST I need to backup. Since my USB ports wont work I've tried to find other solutions. (Don't want to buy an AirPort Time Capsule).
I've tried the Belkin Network USB Hub but since it's software only supports up to OS X 10.5 It would not work on my device.
I have FINALLY found a convenient and cheap solution by setting up File sharing network (from my Mac to my old Vista, PC) and purchased My Passport Ultra.
The plan is to send my files to the PC and from there to save them onto the external hard drive (and then send them back to my Mac). Sounds easy HOWEVER, after some research I've noticed that in order to get My Passport to work with Mac and PC you have to reformat it (not sure if you have to format on both platforms in order to be able to use on both as well), so I have the following questions:
1. Since My Passport wont connect to my Mac is there anyway of formatting the external hard drive through Windows and still be able to use with Mac? (if not I can always format the external hard drive on a friends Mac)
2. I won't need to open the files on Windows, the PC is simply a gateway in order for me to get the files onto a hard drive, so do I still need to format it to work on Windows? Will the files still be usable when sent back to the Mac?
I have tried to explain my situation as simply as possible but if anyone has any questions or is unsure of something I have mentioned please ask. I want to avoid buying anymore devices in order to do this, so any solutions in which I can use what I have would be much appreciated. I cannot go to an Apple store as I no longer live in the UK and we do not have an Apple store here.
If anyone knows of another way to get the files on to My Passport (other than what I'm trying to do) I am open to discussion. Thanks in advance

Unable to delete songs from IPOD except through Windows Explorer

hello,
I have a first gen 1 gb Ipod Nano ver Ver 1.3.1 modem #
ma352ll.
About a week ago i tried to free up some space on my ipod by removing some songs. Since I began using my ipod I have just felt more comfortable manually managing my songs. So what i would normally do is simply delete the song from the music folder on my ipod and it is usually gone. (I know that simply deleting from a playlist does not delete from ipod). When I tried deleting some songs I found that the available space on my ipod did not change and obviously could nto add any more songs. When I went into windows explorer, in the music folder for my ipod, I i found the songs I wanted to delete (they were large files because they were podcasts). When I deleted the file from windows explorer the space was freed up on my ipod.
I updated itunes and restored my ipod. I am not using itunes 7. Today I tried adding 7 podcasts to my ipod manually thru itunes and only 5 show up in my music folder, however, i can find all 7 in windows explorer AND all 7 in the playlists I added them to. They play perfectly fine when I play them, but obviously if I tried to delete the 2 suspect files from my playlist they would still be hidden somewhere on my ipod and I can only delete them through windows explorer.
I am not sure what to do at this point, is there anybody who can shed some light on what I am doing wrong or if this is a known issue with itunes and and 1st gen nanos. It's getting annoying to have to play each file in winamp from windows explorer to find the song titles I want to delete and keep the rest. The folders show up as F00, F001, etc... and the songs show up as QVRD.mp3. I havew to play the file QVRD.mp3 throguh winamp so the name of the song comes up so I know if that is the hidden file or one of the others thats how up in itunes that I want to keep. Any ideas out there?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I'm moving from windows notebook to MacBook Pro. When teaching I use a USB quality pointer device and want to know it the MacBook works with it

Greetings,
After using only Windows computers at work and home our company leadership now allows us to purchase Mac Pro Books if we desire. I am VERY excited!!!
Both of our sons work as engineers in Silicon Valley and will not purchase anything but Macs for years. Both son's schedules hinder me to get the answers quickly from them so I am seeking advice from you.
I love the idea of finally getting a Mac but have some questions and need to find a source to answer my questions before I send in the request for the new computer. If any of you could respond to these "beginner" Mac questions it would be wonderful.
1. I teach a large variety of classes using Powerpoint style presentations. I own a very nice wireless USB remote that I use to move between slides. Will the ProBook allow me the ability to use my remote? If so is there anything I need to know to make it work?
2. What are the tradeoffs of the 13 inch ProBook versus the 15 inch model?
3. What external devices/equipment should I plan to have available to be effective in an office environment?
4. In moving from Windows to Mac what is the best was to bridge the learning curve so I can become effective as quickly and effectively as possible?
I am very excited to make this change and your advice would be so appreciated.
Blessings,
David

David,
Have you checked the Web site of the manufacturer of your wireless USB remote, to see if their product supports MacBook Pros?
In general, the 13-inch MacBook Pro has less powerful hardware than the 15-inch model. A detailed comparison can be found in the right-hand column of the table here.
Which external devices/equipment do you currently have to be effective in an office environment with your Windows computer? The list is likely to be similar with a computer that runs OS X.
Which applications do you currently depend upon under Windows? That might be the best guide to providing advice on how to best adapt to OS X.

Cycle Through Windows broken

The Cycle Through Windows (CMD + ~) is broken in the Leopard Finder. It works until you cycle to the Desktop, and then it stops working. You need to click on another Finder window to get it going again. Not a show-stopper but it's definitely a very annoying bug.
OAW

*Cycle Through Windows* in the Finder works again if you +disable Spaces+ (...) I hope it's just a silly bug, cause it is really annoying (and I want to use Spaces).
10.5.1 didn't fix it - let's wait and see what 10.5.2 will bring us.
To disable Spaces: System Preferences > Exposé & Spaces > Spaces > uncheck 'Enable Spaces'

Waiting for SP1 to come through Windows Vista Update?

Hi:
I have been waiting for SP1 to make an appearance through Windows Update and am still waiting. I checked out the knowledge base and checked all the problem drivers to see if I had any of the components.
I don't have any of them, nor do I have any hidden updates that I have opted not to install. Is there anything else I could possibly check? I checked all my drivers in device manager and all are updated.
Thanks!

Hello Lisa
I know it sounds now stupid but what is your problem? Maybe I understand English not so good but I didnt find any concrete question. I understand that you are waiting for SP1 and what now?
To be honest you should not install SP1 at the moment. At the moment SP1 is not supported by Toshiba and if you will have some problems nobody can help you. SP1 stuff can (muss not) have some negative influence on different drivers or tools. Toshiba will fix this and offer updates but just when SP1 is official supported.
If you have all latest drivers it is enough. Leave it as it is.

I have no sound on dv8000. Moved to Windows 7 64 bit. (error messaged;No media controller's)

I have no sound on dv8000. Moved to Windows 7 64 bit. Windows XP was on very shaky ground (error messaged-No multi media controller's). Also, need mass storage controller driver. Where can I obtain the compatible drivers. It would be nice if HP did not abandon some of their products as they did this one. Finally, can I add 2gigs DDR 333 (pc2700 2.5 cas) instead of the 512 megs I have now. I will be grateful for any help.~~~~Cuba T

Don't blame HP....Conexant didn't develop 64 bit drivers for their audio chip.
If you want to run W7 on that model, it will have to be 32 bit. Then you use the Vista 32 bit audio driver--probably have to manually install it too.
After you make the switch, install this card reader driver for the mass storage controller.
It will also work on W7 64 bit but without any audio, I don't see the point.

Is it possible to get ReadWrite Mac HFS+ drivers for windows 7 so I can manage my Mac formatted Backups through windows bootcamp?

Hello!
I was just curious if there was a driver or something I can install so that I can read and write my mac OSX formatted [HFS+] external drives in Windows 7,
using the windows file explorer [the equivalent for finder].
This is essential for me because I need the windows explorer copy/file transfer dialog box with all it's options and functionality.
Any suggestions relating either to windows bootcamp, or running windows through vmware fusion next to mountain lion [I would much prefer to be able to do this with VMWare Fusion, but either way is absolutely fine.]
I need this because I need to do HEAPS of file management,
and I find finder's file transfer / copy dialog box to be totally inadequate, hopeless and almost useless, [a nightmare in fact] next to the excellent functionality of Windows 7 file transfer dialog.
This has been my most hated issue with OSX for years now.
File management is a total nightmare in OSX.
I may make another post / feature request detailing my hatred of this lack of functionality, because it kills me every time I have to manage and backup large folders filled with lots of files and subfolders.
Sorry for the end-rant.
Thanks so much for any help! (:

Hello Alberto and Woodmeister50,
thank you for both your answers.
I have to try and remember to state things I have tried previously or am aware of; my bad!
Alberto:
Thanks for your ideas.
I'm aware of ex-fat format.
Unfortunately, my external drives are quite full and a reformat or EXFAT partition is out of the question.
I'm formatted them OSX extended journaled a couple of years back before I was aware of exfat.
I could buy yet another drive, but I don't really want to do that until SSD's come down in price and expand in size.
[also, while not a big issue, I hear EXFAT can't handle files bigger than 4gb. Not that I have many such files, so that's not really a big concern].
So doing my file organization through windows explorer is, to my knowledge, the best option,
if it is possible. [I hope!]
This would be a perfectly satisfactory solution for me if I can use Windows Explorer through VMware to manage and organize the files and folder on my HFS+ external drives.
I'm not sure if paragon HFS+ or Macdrive allow you to use windows explorer to manage files?
Or only through their own file manager and dialogs?
A costly gamble if they do not, and if their file/folder transfer dialog also happens to be inadequate.
Woodmeister :
Thanks.
Actually, my problem is both HFS+ / windows compatibility AND that I hate finder
[the HFS problem being a result of the fact I hate finder]
I have tried Pathfinder [the demo version though, maybe it has limited functionality],
and I have found it's file transfer dialog / options / functionality to be very totally lacking as well.
Others I have tried.
Mac Explorer.
MoveAddict doesn't seem to work for me presently, although I hear it might be good.
Total finder is fantastic for other reasons but does nothing for the copy dialog.
Um.... there were a bunch of others I tried, but all no good.
So I guess my question is still the same, with a bit more specific information now
For a very in-depth review/analysis of the hatred of finder's lack of features in this area,
there are many threads on many forums, such as can be found if you google for the thread on this forum
GOOGLE : MacRumors OS X: how to merge folder contents, not replace
Please ignore the fact that some ex-windows people are just not used to the fact that "replace" in finder means to replace a whole folder, as this is not the issue.
The lack of functionality is, and there are many pages of mac-loving people complaining about it.

A View Through Windows 8.1.1

A View Through Windows 8.1.1
There above opens fine for me; sorry, didn't expect anyone would have difficulty w/ it.
Windows 8.1.1 or Windows 8.1 Update or KB2919355
Call it what you like, a rose by any other name is, still, a rose.
And this has brought some pretty rosy stuff to Win 8.1. 8.1 delivered a plethora of cool things to the initial Windows 8.0 platform but, I am not here, right now, to discuss that gold mine but, rather its Update, Win8.1.1. This small yet,
packed Update comes or will as an Auto Update via WU. It installs quickly and easily.
Basically, its only requirement is having Windows 8.1 in place… an 8.0 device must be Upgraded to Windows 8.1 and then on to this Update.
Now, even though 8.1 responded to User feedback and requests, 8.1.1 has tried to take that endeavor, even, further.
Much of that is in regard to making the OS more intuitive, more familiar and more mouse friendly, catering to non-Touch environments and to have some things more overt.
A good portion of the Update impact on both Consumers and Businesses whilst some are value items specifically for enterprise.
Firstly, let’s address the ‘common ground’ and then look at the assets to or for businesses.
I will not delve into extreme details for this discussion but, will provide links which, will give you the full story.
However, the links go to the usual, sterile, propaganda and although, certainly, informative & enlightening, not the personal perspective that I would like to share, at this time.
I write in several tech forums, ergo, I have seen what people like, dislike or want.
8.1 does, indeed, indulge what people have been expressing.
It, also, I feel, helps make people enjoy using Store APPs more and helps draw then into the world of APPs.
A major part of the Update is in regard to APP handling and usage.
To me it’s mostly about APPs but, there are some other items so let’s tackle them, first.
May seem like little things but, sometimes doesn’t take much to make people happy.
And this does destroy the suggestion that MS doesn’t listen to End Users or care what they think or say.
On Start there, now, are Power & Search icons. There are Rt Clk menus attached to the Start Tiles.
There’s a Search box on the ALL Applications screen. Back to the Store APPS enhancements because I suggest, this is the, really, cool bit.
Some people have struggled over using the Switcher Bar, opening APPs, closing APPs and positioning and maneuvering or manipulating them.
Well, this is where things get exciting… NOW, the Store APPs can sit on the Task Bar
and they can be pinned. NOW, they can be closed or minimised with a bar at the top of them.
NOW, as many as four can be enjoy with greater flexibility than ever before.
All of this making the OS easier and more similar to what people are accustom to having and doing.
And having APP icons permanently available on the task Bar is great since, any that are used consistently to get shut down by the OS on the Switcher Bar after a period of time. Nor does one have to pop out the Switcher Bar to access an APP.
Lastly, to carry the familiar Desktop experience across ALL screens, the Task Bar shows on every screen, even if it is a Store APP, Start or ALL Applications.
There are, also, a number of things that are not quite so obvious or superficial, some under-the-covers stuff, plus things relative to business/enterprise issues.
One thing having positive impact right across the board is support for low cost hardware.
With Windows 8.1 Update there is a continuance to fine-tune Windows performance to deliver a great user experience on the broad range of Windows devices. Specifically, with memory and disk space optimization in Windows 8.1 Update we now
enable Windows to run on even lower cost hardware with as low as 1GB of RAM and a 16GB hard drive.
So you ca see it is possible to convey the message that using the OS can, now, thanks to this Update be, even more enjoyable and appealing than it, already, was.
Things easier to find or see and done in established, already known ways, methods and comfort zones.
End Users will like what Win8.1.1 brings and offers them… so spread the word.
Now, for some important ‘bullets’ provided by the Update that IT Pros should know about and be able to enthusiastically impart, particularly, to thrilled Enterprise Users on top of the aspects, already, mentioned that are for everyone.
>> Improvements to take advantage of new hardware innovation and support the latest devices, such as devices based on 64 bit Baytrail™ processors.
>> Extended Mobile Device Management (MDM)
>> Easier app deployment and management is app side loading
And, also, exciting
licensing changes come with Windows 8.1 Update.
The big caveat here, the meaningful take-away for y’all, in my view, is there are many desirable facets contained in the Windows 8.1.1 Update.
It is a strength to know this content so it can be transmitted to End Users both, Consumer and Enterprise customers and clients.
There are things for which business folks will be grateful.
There are things that make the User Experience nicer for anyone and everyone.
KB2919355 may be small but, in my view, it packs a big punch.
Here are the links I promised for your further reading and information.

The view from here, Drew:
Reading around the edges of the error message, are you seriously trying to find things of merit in the spring update? They seem pretty few and far between to me. 800 MB (er, 200, er, who knows) for what? a few dozen bugfixes?
If you know of something of substance in the update, please share, because I'm not finding much.
Why has there been so much hype about this version? It was "leaked", then it has been getting press like what you're trying to show here. Isn't the hype actually supposed to come with some substance as well? Where is
that substance?

Can't access NAS through Windows 8.1 file explorer anymore

This used to word perfectly, but since I reinstalled my Windows 8.1 setup I can't access my NAS through Windows Explorer anymore.
The weird thing is: I can still access it by logging in into the admin console via "http://ix4-300d/manage/manage.html" in IE.
From here I can access and edit my shares, download stuff, etc.
But for some reason my PC can't find my NAS anymore using file explorer -> Network -> \\ix4-300d\.
This sucks, cause now I can't copy anything to the NAS anymore (which used to work perfectly).
I guess it must be some network setting in Windows, but I can't find it.
Anyone knows what could be the problem?
Both the PC and the NAS are in workgroup "WORKGROUP" btw.
Thanks!! http://i.imgur.com/TMJtjzS.jpg

Hello ExReey,
First thing to do is make sure that you have the correct IP address (you can find this on the ix4 display) and try the procedure using the IP address instead of the device name>
I would also try manually mapping the Shares:
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=windows%208%20map%20network%20drive
Also, I cant open any Imgur links here, is that an error you are trying to show me?

Access Apple External drives through Windows

Core question:
How do I make external Firewire drives connected to my Mac accessible to my Windows computer?
I want to access files stored on external FireWire drives connected to my Mac on my Windows XP computer.
Background:
I can connect to my Mac from Windows, but only to the "boot" drive and only into the user folder I specify.
How do I access drives connected to the Mac through Windows?
TIA,
Paul

If you're using Mac OS 10.4 and older then install SharePoints from Hornware.com
If you're using 10.5, then just set up what files/folders/drive you want to share using the Sharing system preferences.
