Off mac os x.4 to win xp

creator field guide - Data Providers-
doing these exercises on a mac os x.4 is a "Train Wreck"
going back to win-xp
maybe someday I'll try a solaris 10

Response to :do I have a question.
I am a newbie, I suspect a conflict with other Java installations
I at this point in time would have no idea on how to resolve those
conflicts, if indeed that is the case, short of
removing all java except what the O/S needs.
if creator studio didn't use "Path" or "Class" etc . but was an
Island to itself, Would that be helpful , again if that were the case
I am a Newbie and will stick with what works for me at this time

I have a lot of HD video on my hard drive that I eventually want to edit in iMovie, but just don't have the time now. It is clogging up the computer, though. How do I take the Hd clips off Mac for later editing?

I have a lot of HD video on my hard drive that I eventually want to edit in iMovie, but just don't have the time now. It is clogging up the computer, though. How do I take the Hd clips off Mac for later editing?

See "Storage drive" here
Most commonly used backup methods
Th problem with HD video is it needs a fast external interface, so you should pick a external drive that uses the fastest interface your computer has to offer.
Performance rank fastest to slowest is
Thunderbolt, USB3, (newer Mac's)
Firewire 800, USB 2, Firewire 400, USB 1 (older Mac's)
Newer Windows PC's have USB3, older one's USB 2,1.
You need to format the drive if it comes FAT which a lot do, as FAT has a 4GB file size limit, so this won't work with large HD video files.
So if your going to use the drive only with a Mac, then head to Utlities > Disk Utility and format it Options: GUID Format: OS X Extended Journaled. (select the drive makers name and click Partition tab)
If your going to use the external drive with a PC, take it to the oldest PC you have and right click and format exFAT.
If you have a Windows XP machine and there is no exFAT, it can be downloaded for free from Microsoft.

When I started my Mac the screen was white with the Apple logo and power motion icon running. I attempted to turn off Mac then a message stating "Debugger called: Button SCI . Also "Waiting for remote debugger connection." What is my next step?

Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
And sorry to report that OSX is more Widows like than ever, but….
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Turning off MAC filtering

I can't connect to the internet and the problem is with my airport extreme/leopard. I need to find out how to cut off the MAC address filtering to allow my iPhone and windows computer to connect to the internet. I have the modem ethernet plug in my airport, and another ethernet cable coming from that to my windows PC. Both the PC and my iPhone get the 169 IP address and the subnet of 255.255.0.0, so this is an issue with the security on my airport extreme. This issue wasn't there when I had tiger installed but I recently upgraded to Leopard and all of a sudden this is an issue. How do you turn off MAC filtering as I am sure this is the issue holding me up.

Open the Airport Utility, which is in Applications > Utilities.
Select your Airport Extreme and click "Manual Setup".
Choose the Access Control tab.
Set MAC Address Access Control to "Not Enabled" and click "Update".

Emptied trash of iphoto, turned off Mac in middle to stop process but lost most photos. Trying to find them...

I deleted my photos in my iphoto library as I thought I had backed them up to my harddrive. However, when I emptied trash of iphoto, I worried I hadn't saved them and could not stop it so I turned off Mac in middle but when I turned on Mac, there were only 3000 images left out of the 8000 original photos. Can I retrieve them somehow or are they gone foreve

However, when I emptied trash of iphoto, I worried I hadn't saved them and could not stop it so I turned off Mac in middle but when I turned on Mac, there were only 3000 images left out of the 8000 original photos.
When you empty the trash in iPhoto the photos will/should be moved to the System Trash in your Dock. Have you looked there, if there are still photos left? Then drag them out of the Trash.

How to turn off switch primary & secondary buttons in Win 7 - Mac Mouse

I screwed up - I checked off "Switch Primary and Secondary Buttons" in Win 7 Control Panel - now I can't UNCHECK it with my 1 button mouse? Tried google but nothing is working - how do I turn it off WITH a 1-button mouse? HELP!

I think I solved my problem by running the following command:
sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver diradmin
diradmin is the name of the Open Directory admin account I created.
The Open Directory Service now appears "off" and no longer had the green dot next to it in the list of services.
Obviously, NOT a good solution to someone who was actively using Open Directory as this appears to have deleted all the data associated with Open Directory.
Users and Groups now allow me to add/delete/modify.
Sad to see an Apple product have such issues.

Mouse jumps when 2nd connected monitor is off. mac mini 2012, 10.8.5

I mentioned this on another thread but will post one on my own.
My mouse skips occasionally (like every 5 secs) on my 2012 mac mini with 2 displays connected. One via HDMI the other using the thunderbolt port with a minidisplay to dvi adaptor.
If the 2nd monitor is off i get the jumps. If i turn it on mouse works ok. I swapped around the connections i.e. connect primary monitor on thunderbold and 2nd on hdmi and still same issue. When both are on mouse is ok.
Also tried with just one monitor connected and mouse works ok.
Its a bug and please apple fix it.
I use a microsoft wired mouse whuch i have for many years and has never caused me any trouble on either my win laptop or my previous imac..I tried another wired microsoft mouse and also a wireless logictech mouse. Same problem.
I also tried with mouse connected directly on the mac and on a usb hub which i normally use.
thats on 10.8.5

well both wired mice (the one jumping and the one not) are not bluetooth. In fact i have bluetooth turned off on the mini.
I do have an external usb3 HD connected but only occasionaly and the problem has been happening regardless of the HD connected.
The mini sits right next to a loudspeaker (i do audio work) but that is supposed to be magnetically shielded.
And in any case all these electrical devices should conform to electrical inetrference standards..
Plus it also happens with the wired mice...
There is a usb2 audio interface connected plus a usb2 hub and a FW800 HD as well if that helps.
Will test tomorrow with all these disconnected and just the mouse and display monitor. (its 4am now here in greece)

My windows 8 pc can not find my printer plugged into my airport extreme. My mac and desktop computer running win 7 can. Help.

i can print from my win 7 and macbook air. however when running bonjour printer wizard on win 8 laptop, my printer does not show up on the list.

Thanks. It turns out that since I had received this printer as a cast-off from the office, it was still config'd with the old IP info. Once I set it for remote configuration (enabling something called "BOOTP" in the TCP/IP config sub-menu), I printed off the status page to find that all the addresses (IP, subnet, gateway) were "unspecified" with 0.0.0.0 values. But when I went back into the printer config menu, disabled BOOTP, and looked at the IP address, I saw that the printer had rec'd a new IP address (10.0.1.5) from the AEBS, I presume (I confess that I am by no means an experienced networker). I reprinted the status page to confirm the 10.0.1.5 IP, then I used that IP to install the printer on the PC via the method you suggested and everything works fine, thanks! One concern for future use, though. Is it possible that if the printer, AEBS, or PC are powered off and restarted, that the IP address of the printer will be changed by the AEBS and I will be unable to print to it? Since IP assignment by the AEBS is dynamic (right?), will this affect future printing? Something to do with DHCP renewal?

Mac Pro -- Installing XP and Win 7 on a SEPARATE Internal Drive

I would like to install Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7 onto the second Internal Drive in my Mac Pro. I am planning to install Win XP on the first partition and Win 7 onto the second Partition of Drive 2.
Will this work?
Drive 1 - GUID partition Scheme -- 1 partition -- Snow Leopard
Drive 2 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 2 partitions -- WinXP -- Windows 7
Drive 3 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 3 partitions -- Linux
Drive 4 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 1 partition -- NTFS Shared Data
Can I use MBR or do I need to use GUID Partition Scheme on my second drive holding Win XP and Win 7?
P.S. I do not plan to use Bootcamp assistant to install WIndows XP and Win 7. I only will be using the Mac OS X Install Disk to install the Bootcamp Drivers.
And What does this mean in the Bootcamp Guide:
"Note: If your computer has more than one internal disk and you want to install
Boot Camp on a disk that isn’t in the first hard drive bay, remove the drives in the lower numbered bays. You can reinstall the drives after you install Boot Camp."
What does Apple mean by lower number bays? Drive 1 or Drives 3 and 4?
And why do I need to remove drives?
Rob

I thought it might be possible, and while you must use MBR, and while Windows 7 can install on its own without BCA, the same is not true of XP. People have tried, and the conclusion was a no go.
Don't know what Linux requires.
GPT is fine for data drives though, and is required when you get into drives of 2TB and larger.
As long as you format the drive partition table as MBR you are fine.
The only time when you used GPT you have to also use BCA to add the MBR and have a hybrid partition. GPT actually includes an "MBR holder" to prevent XP and others from wrecking havoc on GPT volumes that they don't support.
Never used XP, and for one purpose alone I just used XP Mode instead.
Apple tech notes are full of misinformation and support for Windows on their own Macs is sadly missing.
BUT: remove any and all drives that are GPT or have OS X during the install of Windows (both XP and 7). Otherwise it won't install. Then put them back. And if you want to play safe, then use the drive bay #1 at the front of the Mac for Windows, yes.

If I turn off Mac Mini Mid2011, LED doesn't turn black.

I turned off the Mac Mini Mid 2011. BUT, the Mac Mini's Light(White LED) doesn't want to turn off and the only way to COMPLETELY shut down is to force shut down.I'm worrying about bad sectors so I'm asking.
Is there any way to solve?

I just want to know if I turn off iMessages and iCloud Back up, and ONLY use SMS myself and my family just SMS's me - and do this on my PHONE ONLY and not touch his ipad (so he doesn't know), if he will get any of my messages I send or receive on his ipad please. Its just a temp thing and I just want to take action myself on my own phone and want to know if this will work. Does anyone know?
SMS messages will not go to the iPad Mini. It's not capable of receving them. If you have access and can do it without it causing a problem, remove your iPhone from the Apple ID Support profile:
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Log in if not already logged in.
Click on "Edit Products"
Click on the "X" to the right of the product.
Click "Unregister"
If anyone in your family uses iMessage, they will go to both you and your boyfriend unless you do that.
To be completely safe, you may want to simply use an alternate message app such as Skype, Viber, Whatsapp (assuming everyone has a smartphone) until the issue is resolved. Google Voice will also allow you to send and receive texts to another number on your phone.
Best of luck.

Platform change: Can I buy After Effects 7.0 (Mac) AE 5.5 Upgrade (Win) and change platform to AE 5.5. Mac?

I want to buy After Effects 7.0 (Mac) + an upgrade version, which is unfortunately an AE 5.5 Upgrade (Win) version.
Can I change the upgrade version to platform AE 5.5. Mac?
Thanks in advance!
TobiWebbbb

no, unfortunately adobe only supports platform changes for current software, Order product | Platform, language swap
you could upgrade to adobe cc (and get upgrade pricing) that would allow you to use on both mac and pc.

Error when trying to open Mac file with Captivate 6 Win

I've tried opening Captivate 6 files (.cptx/.cptl) that were created on the Mac version with Captivate 6 on Win7. Got the error message "can't open file" telling me to check the file and my resources. Resources are ok, the file was sent via email.
How can I set up a workflow for Captivate 6 between Mac and PC users that works? The discussion to Win files crashing Captivate Mac didn't help as there's no solution posted. Are there any issues concerning the compatibility of Mac and Win files within Captivate 6?
Any help is very much appreciated a we've got a deadline looming.
Regards,
Susanne

After Leopard install, start up turns off Mac

Nothing lost as I have 4-250 Gb drives and backed up but. . .
Install seemed complete. Upon reboot and subsequent starts, system shuts itself off after grey apple screen. Doesn't even get to rotary spinning timer dealybob under grey apple.
I have four strikes against me here. G4 450 AGP w/Sonnet Encore ST 1.8 GHz, ATI 9800 Pro, Adaptec ATA adapter, Techtools Hi-Cap driver. Did not swap video card, didn't pull ATA, just tried dirty install. Waiting for Intel's new chipset to buy new Mac Pro. Any hope of Leopard on this heap?

The problem isn't the Sonnet card, I'll bet a lot of money it's the Adaptec ATA card. My machine was powering off during boot when I tried to boot from my Firewire drive (this always worked on 10.2, 10.3, 10.4). When I installed the OS on an internal IDE drive it worked fine. Using it now, Sonnet and all. Hope that helps. I did notice on boot that the Sonnet cache enabled kext was not loading so I removed it. I'm not sure if the whole cache is currently enabled and need to look into that.
It DOES work on a Sawtooth with the Encore 1.8Ghz.

Accidently turned off mac during install now it won't reinstall

As stated above I accidently turned off my mac during an install of lion. Before installing lion i used disk utillity to delete the Hdd and now it wont resume the instalation. It´s booting with the lion disk and enters the instalation, but comes up with a fail message saying that lion connot be installed. I have tried to redelete my Hdd using diskutility but it still wont work. cannot seen to get anywhere from here.
what to do...?

I had a similar problem. See this problem / answer for a solution:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
which I found at:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3207417
Resetting the PRAM by pressing Command-Option-P-R during the boot was all I had to do. It automatically did a restart and I pressed Option to get prompted for the boot drive (don't know if I had to do that last part).

Need to switch off Mac during TM backup

What would happen if TM was in the middle of a backup but I had to switch off my Mac (for whatever reason)?
Would anything get seriously messed up anywhere or is TM so clever that it'd just pick up where it left off next time I switched the Mac back on?
P.S. Am a PC convert and VERY new to Macs. The forums and help offered on this site is unparalled. Thank you.

fizzyfizz,
Automatic Stop and Resume
Never skip a beat. If your Time Machine backup is interrupted — because you took your portable on the road or put your Mac to sleep — Time Machine will simply stop backing up. When you reconnect to your backup drive again, Time Machine automatically picks up where it left off.
