  • Should I install bootcamp before doing a system migration?

    I have a new macbook pro I am setting up and an older one with bootcamp and parallels installed.  Should I install bootcamp before I migrate my files or does it not make a difference?

    You can install Boot Camp whenever you want. It will be the same if you do it before or after migrating your data because it doesn't affect to Boot Camp

  • Which Windows XP Pro version should I install, SP2 or SP3 ?

    I just purchased an iMac 21. I need to install Windows XP Pro. Which version of XP Pro should I install ? SP2 or SP3 ?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    both are fine to be installed on a Mac.
    If you already have a XP with SP2, install it and later use the stand-alone SP3 updater.

  • Why should be install CI before Database Instance

    Hi friends,
    <b>Why should be install Central Instance before Database Instance??</b>

    Hi
    At first, Database Instance Installation doesnot mean that we are installing the database software. Aa we know that Database software must be installed first before starting SAP installations.
    In SAP Database instance installation, the required Database schema is created for the SAP Central Instance we have installed first and all the configurations between SAP and Database are done at this process.
    If we try to intall the DB Instance before CI then it would give error because for DB CI is prerequisite.
    Technically, whole of the file system have to be configured before schema creation from which SAP would fetch the data and informations.
    Hope this would help you in clarifying some doubts.
    Thanks

  • I have iphone5.  should i install ios8 before starting to use iphone6

    Should I install ios8 on iphone5 before syncing my new iphone6 which has ios8

    There's no need to do so, but you should make an iTunes or iCloud backup first. 
    You can restore a backup from an older iOS device to a newer iOS device (i.e., I can restore an iPhone 3GS backup that was using iOS 6.1.6 to an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.2).
    If this wasn't possible, then people would never be able to upgrade from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 6, for example, and still have all their data.

  • Should I install JMF before my program?

    Before installing JMF, I run JMFInit and got this ...
    java -cp jmf.jar JMFInit
    DirectSound Capture Supported = false
    JavaSound Capture Supported = true
    JavaSoundAuto: Committed ok
    After I installed JMF,I got this...
    java -cp jmf.jar JMFInit
    DirectSound Capture Supported = true
    DirectSoundAuto: Committed ok
    JavaSound Capture Supported = true
    JavaSoundAuto: Committed ok
    Found device Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32)
    Querying device. Please wait...
    and UnInstall JMF, It looks like before,
    I develop a program for audio via RTP,
    and just copy jar file for my program,
    but according this result, I can not get MediaLocator "dsound",
    Should I ask all users install JMF or there is another way to solve this problem.

    First is why not to use javaSound?
    Second: Reliable capture uses native modules in JMF performance packs.
    jsound.dll, 4example, on Win. And you need to register(commit) devices - so you have to run JMFInit (.exe, or .class) on client, and not under Applet.
    Shortly: you need to have native modules jmutil and jsound (.dll in System(on Win95-98) )or in System32 (on WinNT) ) on client, you have to threat client to run JMFInit, and you need to allow capture in applets, if you want client to record sound in applet.
    P.S. Allowing capture in applets could be set by any code such as
    import com.sun.media.util.JMFI18N;
    import com.sun.media.util.Registry;
    import java.io.*;
    class AllowCapture
    public static void main(String args[])
    Registry.set("secure.allowCaptureFromApplets", new Boolean(true));
    try
    Registry.commit();
    catch (IOException ioe)
         System.out.println("Could not commit.");
    But! Code does not run (of course (= ) in applets x)
    So, in closing, easier to persuade cloent to install JMF, than install JMF manually :)
    But your "minimized" JMF would be size of about 1.5 mb against nearly 6 mb of JMF.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    I would activate it first and get used to the basic operation.
    The upgrade will take about an hour to be on the safe side, and yes always take a full backup before
    any upgrade. The link below will provide you with your carrier's website for downloading the Blackberry
    device OS. Do you have the Blackberry desktop manager installed? What version is it?
    Also attached is the upgrade procedure.

  • Clean install: which nVidia drivers

    Hi,
    I should revceive my K8N Neo2 tomorrow and I was wondering: should I install the nVidia drivers available on MSI's homepage (v5.03) or the ones available on nVidia's homepage (v. 5.10) ?
    Franck

    The motherboard comes with a driver cd and a floppy .
    The floppy i got was labled NVSA020 and is the IDE/RAID drivers (2.5) on diskette
    which you need when installing windows to a sata / raid .
    If you are not needing the win install with press F6 to load raid drivers just forget about the floppy diskette .
    Otherwise just prepare a new empty one and copy the following files to it (2.6) :
    Files found from the extracted 5.10 file under nForce_5.10_WinXP2K_WHQL_international\IDE\WinXP
    [raidtool]
    disk1
    idecoi.dll
    nvata.cat
    nvatabus.inf
    NvAtaBus.sys
    nvcoi.dll
    nvide.nvu
    nvraid.cat
    nvraid.inf
    nvraid.sys
    nvraidco.dll
    NvRaidEnu.dll
    NvRaidMan.exe
    nvraidservice.exe
    NvRaidSvEnu.dll

  • Bootcamp Question? Should I update bootcamp before installing Vista SP1

    Hi,
    I am about to install Vista SP1 on iMac, Leopard 10.5.4.
    About a month back, there was a bootcamp update that had been posted on support download website. The question is; Do I need to install the Update before installing Vista or is that needs to be done after the installation of Vista?
    Thanks for the help,

    The update is consists only of new device drivers for Windows XP and Vista. There are different updates depending upon whether you install 32-bit XP, 32-bit Vista, or 64-bit Vista. So Windows must be installed first, the original drivers included on the Leopard DVD should be installed, then you can install the update in Windows.

  • Building a new PC, in what order should I install drivers, flash BIOS, etc?

    Hi all.  I've just decided to take the plunge and buy a K8T Neo (w/Athlon 64 3000) and was wondering if anyone (Bas?) could tell me in what order I should install the various drivers (and what versions are the most stable) for the board/chipset and whether I should flash the BIOS before or after installing Windows, yadda, yadda, yadda.
    Also, I am going to be using a pro-audio card (WaveCenter PCI) and was thinking it'd be a good idea to disable the onboard audio.  Is this possible/wise?
    Finally, for RAM I'm thinking of getting two sticks of Crucial 512MB DDR PC3200 (CT6464Z40B) as it appears there are at least two people out there with stable systems running this RAM.  Can anyone say otherwise?
    Thanks,
    Kogepan

    Thanks Bas, you're golden!

  • Should I use the default video drivers or should I install ATI drivers?

    I have a macbook pro with the ATI card in it. Should I download and use the ATI drivers that they provide on their website? Am I going to see benefits or should I stick with the drivers in the recent bootcamp update?
    thanks

    any reason why not using ATI drivers? When I play a game it says the driver it outdated (steam games for example), installing ATI drivers resolves this problem.
    Not that I play a lot of games on my laptop, but I'm just thinking maybe I'll get better performance with ATI drivers with other 3D software (I use 3ds max a lot, and others).

  • Is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2

    is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2 and cant believe what a waste of money it is.

    The newest version of CS2 is CS5. And it was made very clear that these applications would not run in Lion. Not only by Apple, but on all sorts of communities and websites. It has been a long time coming - PowerPC apps were outdated six years ago. Lion does not support Rosetta, and therefore not PPC apps.
    you have to options. Go back to Snow Leopard or upgrade your software. (MS Office 2004 and older will not run either).

    I have been using Elements 8.  Should I unstall 8 before installing elements 12 ?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • Uh oh.  I installed MacKeeper before I saw the warning posts. I purchased the $38.00 version, but if what you all say is true,I want to get rid of it. So I lose $38.00. I'm a computer idiot. Please tell me what I should do.    Please tell me what

    Uh oh.  I installed MacKeeper before I saw all of your warning posts. I only purchased the basic program--it was on sale for $38. and change.  I'd rather be safe than sorry, so I'll go ahead and take a loss on the 38 bucks. But I need someone to tell me how to get rid of it (I am a computer moron, so please use very simple language, like you would for a kindergartner).  Many thanks.

    Removal is simple.
    If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files, un-encrypt them first.
    Quit MacKeeper.
    Drag the MacKeeper icon from the Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
    You will see this dialog box:
    Type your Password and click OK.
    You will then see this dialog box:
    You do not need to provide a reason.
    Click the "Uninstall MacKeeper" button. You will need to authenticate again (first screenshot).
    That's all there is to it. All of MacKeeper's pieces will be gone, except for a log file that is inert and can be ignored.
