Set up XP through Boot camp, Airport not found... what am I doing wrong?!
So I was doing some cleaning through old computer stuff and came across a copy of Windows XP that I had. I have been wanting to partition my HD to run MS OS for awhile but couldnt afford getting the OS so it worked out perfect. I went through all the step by step instructions to get it loaded onto my MacBook Pro (Late 2010) and got the OS up and running. I only partitioned about 30GB for the MS side of things, dont know if its relevant but just wanted to include it, and upon loading the windows side, I dont even have an option to use my airport. Are there any additional drivers I need to set up for the airport to work? Should they have been included with the support software that was downloaded during initial set up? Or am I just missing a step on the Windows side of things and not getting the end result? Thank you for taking a look, and the help!
You need the Windows Support Software, which is on the OSX (10.6.8) installation disc if you are (as your profile says) using Snow Leopard. If you're actually using Lion or Mountain Lion you can download it using Boot Camp Assistant, but then it will not support XP, only Windows 7 or 8.

I am trying to print redplum coupons and I can't, help. I have updated java, adobe flash, and made sure my printer was set on default. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have contacted redplum and no one will help.
No Apple response??? Redplum/Valassis will not help either. I searched, using the cups error message and though it is Unbuntu, same error so maybe useful...only problem: details would not display unless I join Unbuntu forum. What a pain to do anything with my Mac or find any help. I honestly regret buying this buggy OS.
Anyway, here is what I found, FYI:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=483415
As the old saying goes: when in doubt, consult the manual. The problem appears to be that I added the printer using the KDE Add Printer Wizard. It was automatically given a "socket" URI instead of an "lpd" one. When I:
- altered the printer settings at http://localhost:631 (the CUPS admin page) as instructed in the manual for the printer, and
- copied the PPD file into a second place on the hard drive (as instructed on ubunutuforums, see the link above)
..everything started working.
It's still slower than windows, but I can live with that
Probably a simple fix. Change the socket I.P. to match the printer I.P. like this:
socket://192.168.1.86:9100. The thing I'm concerned with using socket:// is that AFAIK the printer I.P. must not change. In my case I'm able to assign a static I.P. address to the printer but it's something to consider.
I found that the only thing I needed to do was change socket to lpd (and remove :9100 off the end as well). See Solving Ubuntu printer broken pipe problem (DocuPrint C525A) . BTW thanks for steering me in the right direction - very grateful.
Solving Ubuntu printer “broken pipe” problem (DocuPrint C525A)
Posted on November 25, 2008
Are you having a problem with your printer under the latest versions of Ubuntu (perhaps it worked under an older version)? Are you able to print short documents, but not longer, or more graphics-intensive, documents? (e.g. the unfortunate people at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625493). Do they sit there as Processing for ages and then switch to Held? If you have the same problem I had the solution I tried may work for you too. Firstly, check your cups error log:
sudo gedit /var/log/cups/error_log
If you see anything like the following, the solution may be simple:
[Job 201] Unable to write print data: Broken pipe
PID 13359 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/socket) stopped with status 1!
System > Administration > Printing and right click on your printer, selecting Properties. Settings > Device URI
If you see something like socket://your_printer_ip_address:9100 just change socket to lpd and remove the :9100 off the end. Then click on apply.
Apparently lpd is a more modern protocol which works with most printers whereas socket is more raw (and potentially faster but riskier in a network situation). Somewhere along the line, the default Ubuntu/Gnome setup for networked printers shifted from lpd to socket. Some primitive printers will have benefited whereas a larger number of more modern printers will have suffered.
Please correct me if I am wrong (which is highly possible) but the underlying problem could be that socket may make the printer wait a long time for a large file to be processed ready for printing. Some printers, such as the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C525A, may drop the socket if things take too long to start coming through.
Changing timeout settings might work but lpd is better than socket so it is the preferred solution in any case.
If this works for you, please leave a comment to let others know (ideally with a description of the printer and Ubuntu version). Printer may be relevant if it doesn’t support the direct stream protocol properly. NB I may take a while to let your comment through because of the volume of spam. Sorry about that.
Finally, thanks to sphilli8 for the steer in the right direction at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6245626.

The challenge with the older round AirPort Extremes are that they are "g" wireless devices.
When you configure them for WDS, the speed on the wireless network is cut in half...and probably will not have the bandwidth required to stream video reliably from either AirPort Extreme since both are affected by the WDS setup.
There is not an "automated" setup for WDS. You have to do this manually on both AirPort Extremes. Unfortunately, it is not an easy configuration and it's easy to make a mistake and hard to recover without starting all over again.
Apple's instructions for WDS are here if you want to give it a try.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4262
It is possible that it might work. Keep us posted on your progress
Adding a single AirPort Express will unfortunately not help. You have to have "n" wireless devices at all router points. -

Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.

Boot Camp partition not found by Windows installer
So I switched up to Leopard this morning with a fairly smooth Archive and Install.
I've got an XP Pro SP2 CD raring to run some Windows games, so I give Boot Camp Assistant a whirl. I create a 15 GB partition using the Assistant, and it reboots with my XP CD. XP goes through all of its driver loading, and I get past the disclaimer screen. But on the setup screen, where partitions are supposed to be listed, the only partition I see is my 130 GB OS X partition, and nothing else.
I can see the 15 GB Fat32 partition labeled BOOTCAMP in both Leopard, and with a liveCD version of FreeDOS, so I know it's actually there. But the XP installer, for some reason, cannot see it.
Anybody encounter this? Anybody know what I can do? I'm hurting for some Orange Box action.you need to install windows support software on a usb 2 flashdrive. more simply, start over in bootcamp, insert your usb drive as well as the dvd, check all 3 options. bootcamp will do the rest.
or it could be a problem with the install disc, why not download win 7 iso from here;

and go with this, its perfectly legal to use your activation code during instalation. -

JCOP Tools 3.1.1b: Debugger does not break, what am I doing wrong?
Hey everybody
I'm desperately trying to debug applets using the JCOP Tools 3.1.1b but when I start the applet in debug mode, the debugger does not break on the breakpoints I set. You might know the little ticks that appear on top of each breakpoint bullet in the editor. The strange thing is that these ticks do not even appear.
I tried various versions of eclipse (3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.2) and WinXP as wells as Linux. Does anybody else have the same problem or even a solution?
Thanks
Jonashello,
here are few steps you should check:
- when you start the debug session JCOPShell will load the applet into the simulator. You have to first make sure the applet is loaded with debug info. JCOPShell should do that by default, but check on the trace that "upload" command is called with the -d option:
upload -d "G:\glut-wks\JC\bin\helloworld\helloworld.cap" - then JCOPShell will install the applet with the "install" command. At that stage only the install function (and of course the constructor of the Applet) will be called. So breakpoints located in other part of the code won't break. Check the trace because if install is not called no applet code will be running.
- after installation, applet must be first selected to get any of its code running. Use "/select |appletname". If you have a breakpoint at the beginning of the "process" method, it should break. if the Applet is not selected all future APDU will go to the cardmanager, and applet code won't be running.
hope this help :)

Windows Update - Not sure what I am doing wrong
Hello,
I have SCCM managing updates, but Clients appear to be going to Microsoft for updates. In the local policy on the machine I see that the Primary Server is the update service location.
If the end user shutdown the computer the gold shield indicating that there are updates to do shows. What could I be missing? I know this may seems small BUT computers are installing updates from Microsoft, and the biggest problem is that IE is updating.
During OSD which Client Policy is applied? Do I need to disable Software Updates in the Default Client Settings policy? This policy is not applied to any Collection. My policy for the client I am using is applied to the following Collections:
All Unknown Computers
All Workstations with SCCM 2012 Client
Deploy Windows 7 x86/x64
Deploy Windows 7 x86/x64 Testing
Any direction would be appreciated.I thought I was clear, but will try again. Problem is after OSD clients are retrieving updates from Microsoft. I don't want them to.
Depending on the combination of settings you have (in your image, in your Domain GPO, in your Local GPO, in ConfigMgr), different things can happen, at different points in time.
e.g. before ConfigMgr agent has retrieved CM policy about SUM, the WUAgent could be running on defaults/autopilot.
In our environment, we set the Domain GPO to Disable Automatic Updates (since ConfigMgr doesn't need AU because ConfigMgr instructs WUAgent via API calls, the AU behaviour isn't used at all in ConfigMgr).
We find this prevents any default AU behaviours, because the Domain GPO is processed and applied almost immediately after the OSD TS is completed. We also "remove all access to WindowsUpdate" via Domain GPO.
In our environment, the (Windows7/Windows8 equivalent) WU/AU "gold shield" is never, ever seen.
We have no uncontrolled IE updating occurring.
We don't allow users to bypass our ConfigMgr/SUM and go direct to WindowsUpdate.com at all.

If I am understanding you correctly I can disable AU and the Client will still get updates from SCCM? If that is true then my problem is easily solved.
Domain GPO - Not applying anything
Local GPO - Not applying anything
The only thing that is applying is the Config Manager policy.
