Pc or Mac for Uni please help!

I start uni soon my old toshiba is soon dead. I need a computer. I would love a macbook or macbookpro. The uni has some softwares - open uni - which are pc only. They recommend Pc.
Now with a mac would I be ok?
Like i know you can out windows on it , i think of using parallel or the other Vm fusion i think.
But under those if i put in a windows install cd will it install my application on it?
can i install microsoft office virtually too ? and all other sort of programs?
If someone could please explain me all that,
To be honest i have been in the apple store regent street but apart walking around some staff new less on macs then I do which is .... freaky...
Thank again for telling me all that and also honestly if i should go for a mac or a pc?
many thx

thank you , so basically apart some 3d games all will work. Great news.Like can i have msn messanger windows version under paralel and mac version on leopard side by side?
Now is it a lot faster boot camp ? as i rather prefer paralel or the other virtualisation program.
So basically under these programs with xp my mac will be like a pc?
what about the windows drivers? do i also install them from the cd under the virtual xp?
So basically it is like the bootcamp but slower? much slower?
thank you -sorry , is just hard to get this virtual windows thing

Dear MAC-Friends.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
Choose another Library ? ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
and the other possibility is:
Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library ?
And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Kind regards FINN GRABOWSKI

Ok. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?

I cannot see the Vidoe displayed on the screen, only hear the sound. I am missing a component? Compressor, etc. I just downloaded the latest version of Quicktime for Microsoft, please help.

I am not able to view my video taken with a memory card only the sound? I am missing a component? Compressor, etc. I just downloaded the latest version of Quicktime for Microsoft, please help
I can see it on Windows Media? Need help on this.

It says SEDG 720X480 2:1 Mono. Video came from Sd memory card taken with a Samsung Video Camera.
Strangely enough, as a FourCC, SEDG is defined as "MPEG-4 hardware and software codec used in Samsung digital video products." Not a Windows or Samsung camcorder user but THIS WEB PAGE may be of some assistance.
Also I will need to view a CD recorded by the same camera (DVD-RW) file extensions are VIDEO_RM.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB, SAMSUNG.IFO So far these files don't open even with Windows Media.
I don't know what to do to be able to open up these files save them on my Hard drive and then be able to upload them to YouTube. Any Ideas?
IFO files tell how the video content is segmented and where the video data is located. BUP files contain back-up IFO information. VOB files contain actual multipled audio/video data. A DVD formatted to play in a commercial DVD player normally contains a series of files named "VTS##_#.VOB" where ## refers to the "title" series and "_#" (where # is not a zero) refers to the order in which the video title file data is played.
Again, I am neither a Windows user nor an athority on Samsung VIDEO_RM folder structures. However, if your disc contains both a VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS folder, then I would normally assume the VIDEO_RM folder is present for legacy purposes and/or to provide information about the refording device while the VIDEO_TS folder actually contains the video object (VOB) file data. In any case, as I am not familiar with what software is available for muxed MPEG-2/AC3 editing/conversion on a Windows platform, I would try viewing the VOB files in an application like MPEG Streamclip (free). If you can play the Audio and video content (be sure to read the MPEG Streamclip requirements regarding codec installation), then you can edit (merge and/or trim) the raw data and convert it to a format compatible for YouTube uploading. (I.e., MPEG Streamclip is commonly used on the Mac for this type of work flow and the app is also available for Windows use.)

This is bloody ridiculous. You want somebody to do your work for you, you can't be bothered to carry on a discussion here and ask for private email, and you expect somebody else to make your urgency (i.e. lousy time management) their problem. You got big brass ones, kid.

You can try generating 5V continously for 100ms in a loop later on you can make it low.
Hope this helps you.

You should be able to copy them over to your Mac's iTunes by connecting the iPad to it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (that should copy PDFs and epubs that are in iBooks, not just actual ibooks) - does that not work ?

My Bluetooth has disappeared and I have tried just about everything on the internet. When I click on Bluetooth file exchange it says hardware not found. I tried resetting everything as well nothing is working for me please help because now my facetime doesn’t work neither does photo booth and now I cannot text people off my laptop unless they have iMessage.

If you followed the instructions in the support article exactly (leaving the machine off for two minutes), then it has a hardware fault. Take it to an Apple Store or other authorized service provider for repair.

Hi Madhuama, I'll try to give you a hand with this. First off, what OS is running on your notebook, what game are you attempting to play, and how is it not working? Is it not installing?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have an iTouch. I'd like to download some free apps. but I have a debit card but would like to download apps from the store. how do I do that? I can't possibly get a credit card just for this. please help.

I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

I upgraded to Firefox 7 and lost all my Bookmarks and the Toolbar which I use every day for all the important things I do on my Mac.. PLEASE HELP ME... Is there some way to restore my previous settings, go back to the older version or something?

PLEASE HELP!... I am seriously freaking out... I use my Toolbar all the time!... and ALL OF MY BOOKMARKS ARE GONE ALSO!

I am not an expert or even close, and I offer this only because this is how I figured out how to do it. I used a similar approach to importing all email accounts, email content and the address book into a new version of Thunder bird, but I assume this is common knowledge.
My system:
Windows 7 64 bit, recently upgraded from XP64. Installed Mozilla Aurora but seems the same as recent Firefox versions with respect to these features.
Limitation:
This solution depends on whether or not automatic backups were done of the bookmarks when you used your old installation. They were on my system and I don't remember doing it, but maybe I did. Others might know if this is periodically done by default. Assuming you have some backup (*.json) files,
Locate your the bookmark backup files from the old version of your browser. On XP it was located in
E:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bookmarkbackups
Each of the bookmark backup files look like this example:
bookmarks-1010-09-22.json
They might also be located one folder deeper, in my case:
E:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\x72qybcl.default\bookmarkbackups
Again, they will look like this:
bookmarks-1010-09-22.json
Copy all of these .json files to the backup folder on your new installation. On my new Windows 7 file system system I found their new home at:
C:\Users\Art\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0ptl24i3.default\bookmarkbackups
On an XP system I'm sure they would be found along a path, possibly on a differed drive, similar to where your got them from as above.
I fired up Aurora. Drop down "Bookmarks" tab, Select "Show All Bookmarks" (found near the bottom). This brings up the "Library" window. At the top of the window is a tab "Import and Backup". Click this and select "Restore". All of the prior backup files will be available indexed by the date of backup. Select one and all of your prior bookmarks will be repopulated, including the bookmarks Toolbar.
Hope this helps.

Pc or Mac for Uni please help!
