New convert needs some help, please.

I just converted to MacBook with Intel Core Duo and I need to run a few programs that only run on the MS OS.
Anyone with a Quick Start on loading the MS OS onto the Mac would be appreciated along with any headsups to look out for while installing or post installation. Any feedback would be great as well. XP versions suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome.
You have 2 options : Apple's own Boot Camp OR Parallels Desktop.
Boot camp - free download. You need to partion your hard drive - very easy, just follow the instructions.
With Boot camp, you are either in Windows OR OS X. (restart required when you switch OSs)
http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
Parallels - 80 bucks (15 day free trial) You do not need to partion your hard drive
With Parallels you boot up windows within OS X
http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/
I run Parallels - and it has been flawless.
You will want alot of RAM (I have 2 Gig, and both OSs run fast)

    Remote App on iPad connects but drops after about  20 mins. Need to turn  off wait about 1 minute, then turn on wifi on iMac before it can reconnect. Need some help please.
    Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

  • Hi! I got movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? need some help please!!

    Hi! I got Movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? When I start playing the movie a message pops up and says "a required codec is not available". I tried flip4mac, xvid, divx already and still not playing my video. need some help please!! thanks.

    Although vlc mentioned above is a much more powerful and better player you could try installing Perian if you insist on using the quicktime player.  It may supply the codec it needs.
    Not sure why you wouldn't be able to play straight avi files though in quicktime.

  • I am the biggest "Newb" on this site,  and I really need some help please..

    Ok, the short of it.... I started training on Database programming about 2 weeks ago. I still don't really know a thing, or even understand the concepts. Now, my boss wants me to fix a bug in Oracle, and I haven't a clue. The ONLY help I've gotten was a link to this forum, and a speech about how I need to help myself. I told him I have the same chance of fixing anything, as monkeys typing hamlet. Anyone up for a challenge?
    When I go to Application System, then Application Entry and enter the password a dialog box appears.... "FRM-40039: Cannot attatch library Empower while opening from APPUSRAPP."
    That's what I have to fix. I have no clue. I don't even really know how to click around in this program. Please help, someone.
    UPDATE: I've been told that everyone's pretty much going to be a jerk to me for asking this, and I'm currently searching old threads and can't find a way to delete this one I posted. So, you could just ignore the post, or jump in and be the internet tough-guy and tell me what I already know.... I'm a newb.

    As this appears to be a Forms error (the error begins with FRM) you might get a better response by posting this in the Forms forum:

    The Community Feedback forum isn't meant for product-related questions (as it says in the title).

  • 2100 WLC 1130 APs - need some help please

    It's been about 5 years since I took my CCNA course and could use some help on a wireless set up for church.
    We have a Catalyst 3550 that is running fine, just a few VLANs, including 30 for public wireless.  I've then got a 2100 WLC and (3) 1130 AP's.  After much head banging, I've got the WLC set up correctly (i believe)
    VLAN 30 is a 10.0.3.x segment
    switch is 10.0.3.1
    WLC mgmt interface is 10.0.3.20 - connected to the switch on port 1
    WLC ap mgmt interface is 10.0.3.21
    APs pull 10.0.3.30, 31,32. - they are plugged directly into the switch
    I can obviously see the APs while in the WLC GUI. 
    The AP's SSID don't show up wirelessly.  The AP's circle is red/orange
    The detail on the AP in the WLC shows them operationally down.
    What additional information can I provide?
    Much thanks.

  • Really really need some help please.

    lost all my audio. nothing plays anymore. cant even hear the trash empty any more. no itunes, nothing. no dvd audio. also noticed itunes wont play songs anymore, progress bar just sits there. also movies on youtube dont play anymore. when i try to turn up audio i get a zero symbol with a slash thru it. im stumped. help please. thanks

    Whatever has happened, I've assumed it just happened and is systemic.
    To start: Go to Applications/Utilities and run Disk Utility, select your startup drive, and click on the Repair Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
    If that works, you're done, if not, pull out your Tiger startup DVD, insert it, select the Installer, and Restart your Mac from the DVD. When you get to the installer screen, go to the menus at the top of the screen and select Disk Utility, and this time click on the Repair Disk button. This will check your file system integrity and repair it.
    When you've done that, post back.
    If those don't work, you may need to do an Archive & Install, from this same DVD. This will preserve your accounts/apps/data, but will require you to repeatedly run Software Update to bring everything current again.
    Good Luck...

  • New Mac User and I need some help please!

    Hello, I just bought a MacBook, and it was an open box item that didn't come with any manuals or restore discs. I'd like to get a copy of restore discs to re-format everything since the computer was a display. Does anybody know how to go about getting them? I know the discs are very specific to what model MacBook you have. Thanks in advance for your help...

    The manuals you can get online but the restore disks you will need to call the store. If that fails call apple support and tell them what has happened and they will advise you on what to do. If this fails you could by a copy of lepard and you can reformat the HD and reinstall lepard.

  • Really needs some help please

    Hello everyone,
    I have a line (a little white line) down the screen on my satellite laptop. It appear a little while after installing 2gs of memory. Could someone explain to me what could have cause it and if it is covered by my extended warrenty. I also  wants to know if it is covered by the warrenty if Toshiba allows me to take it to a local repair shop that is not their as i am in the caribbean and none of their repair centres are close to my island.
    Thank you in advance.

    What is the complete model number of the laptop and the complete part number of the new ram?
    As for the warranty issues, you'll need to contact Toshiba Warranty Support about that.  This is User's helping other Users and none of us would have that information.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • Beginner needs some help, please

    Hi
    I am new to java ( taking a class now ) and I need to solve this problem below: Can you please help me?
    I am using eclipse and I typed this but I don't know if it is right. English is not my native language so I am always confused about instructions
    public class random {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            int i1 = 1;
            int i2 = 10;
            int m = (int)(i2*Math.random() )+ i1;
            int n = (int)(i2*Math.random() )+ i1;
            System.out.println(m);
            System.out.print(n);
    thank you very much

    English is not my native language so I am always confused about instructions
    That is what your instructor is there for.
    Ask the instructor to explain any of the instructions that you are 'confused' about.
    Please write a java class, which does the following things. (a) It reads two integers (X and Y) from the keyboard; (b) generate two random integers (m and n), such that X=<m<=Y and X=<n<=Y; (c) Print out the results of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and reminder of two random integers. The program is good if it’s easy to ready with comments and it has a user-friendly interface (give print out messages to end users).
    So review you code ask and ask yourself if it follows those instructions:
    1. Does it read ANYTHING from the keyboard?
    2. Does it generate two random integers that obey the rule you provided?
    3. Is your code easy to read and have comments?
    4. Does your code print out messages to the end user?
    For any NO answers to the above you need to fix the problem. Ask your instructor for guidance.

  • Replacing my old iphone with a new one, need guidance/help please

    Hello fellow iPhone users.
    This is my first post on these message boards ever so please excuse me if this has already been discuessed before.
    Recently a friend of mine dropped my iphone pretty badly and it got scratched up except for the screen however he offered to replace it for me by buying me a new one. I insisted he didnt need to but now its too late because he already opened the box. My question is, what is the process I have to do to activate my new iPhone and deactivate my old one? Can someone explain to me the steps involved in this process?
    Also, how can I transfer all my contacts that are only on my iPhone to my computer so that I can transfer my contacts back again to my new phone? Also, how can I transfer all my bookmarks on my older iPhone to my comptuer so that I can send them to my new phone? Is there any clear cut easy way to do this process? Any help is much appreciated.
    Essentially, what I want to do is restore all my settings, text messages, email settings, wifi hot spots, bookmarks, images etc etc on to my new iPhone while restoring my older iPhone to its blank factory condition.
    Thanks a bunch

    iphonefan1,
    To transfer your information from your old iPhone to your new iPhone, you are going to want to do a few things:
    1) Backup any information on the old iPhone to your computer. You can use Windows Address book or Outlook (2003 or 2007) to backup contacts and Internet Explorer to backup your bookmarks. You will need to import any pictures you have taken on the iPhone to your computer (they do not sync) or email them if you would like them saved. Sync your old iPhone with iTunes so that it will make a backup of your text messages and other preference information.
    This article describes what information can be directly synced from your iPhone to the computer:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306071
    2) Take your SIM card out of your old iPhone and put it into the new iPhone. This takes all of your ATT account information to the new iPhone so that you will not have to run through a full activation again. You will have to run through a mini-activation, but all of your information will already be set up.
    3) Connect the new iPhone into your computer. As part of the mini-activation process, iTunes will ask you if you want to restore your iPhone from the backup. If you say yes, then it will use the preferences from your old iPhone and put them on the new iPhone. You can then sync any information (contacts, bookmarks, photos, etc.) that you backed up on the computer from the old iPhone to the new iPhone.
    This article will help you import the data on your computer to the iPhone:
