Settings Screen During Setup/SysPrep OOBE

Is it possible to get a Settings screen during the Setup/SysPrep OOBE that is similar to this? This would eliminate the necessity of having to rename the computer immediately after setting it up (which requires a reboot). Inputting this information
on a single screen would go a long ways to simplifying the OOBE process.

Maybe I'm not understanding when you're thinking of populating it... Since sysprep is doing its work on the first boot, that's your first chance to apply the machine name. Once you've done that, it still requires a reboot to apply the name change. Or am
I misunderstanding the workflow you're thinking of?

Settings Screen During the Setup/SysPrep OOBE Phase

Is it possible to get a Settings screen during the Setup/SysPrep OOBE that is similar to this? This would eliminate the necessity of having to rename the computer immediately after setting it up (which requires a reboot). Inputting this information
on a single screen would go a long ways to simplifying the OOBE process.
The "updated" Settings screen would not have to match exactly what is shown, but it should provide similar functionality.

Hi Darien,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
I am afraid that still there is no such functionality which you want. We need to perform the general action during setup process.
Thanks for your understanding and Support!

I downloaded new os for my daughter's ipod touch. I remember during setup after that I checked off my husband's email account and now she is receiving his texts. How do I fix this. The "icloud"/ "messages" buttons are both greyed out under settings

I5 17''MBP gets blue screen during install windows 7 32 bit

Hello all:
I heard that quite many people get classic windows' "blue screen" during using windows , whatever Windows XP, Vista or 7. But now i face the "blue screen" during install Windows 7, which means I even can not complete installation.
I bought my Macbook Pro i5 17'' one month ago, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I face the problem during the installation. After finishing first 4 steps the computer would restart and start to "finish installation", but at this time it gets "blue screen" and shows "error: 0x0000009c" and stuck there. I have to shut down the turn off button and interrupt the installation.
I don't know if there's any one else face this unlucky situation. I searched on the net and it says the problem could be from memory, graphic card (too new), or even overlocking the cpu,whatever it must be the problem of hardware. I thought it might be the problem of compatible.
If anyone knows how to deal with this problem??!! I do need to use some software under Windows system!

It is good to see that it is indeed a USB2.
The support software on the USB is used in the Pre-boot environment setup and provides drivers for Apple specific hardware, GPU, BT, Mouse, etc. You can verify that by looking at the USB contents. The DVD contains generic drivers when hardware is not recognized as defaults to use. Apple does enough 'secret sauce' to make them different. The following does not explicitly state the USB2 need when using the DVD Installer and mentions W8 (not W7).
From Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD - Apple Support
Insert a blank USB 2 flash drive that is a least 16GB in size into a USB port on the computer. Boot Camp Assistant uses this drive to store the Windows 8 install media and support drivers during installation of Windows.
Note: This flash drive needs to be formatted for the FAT32 file system and must use the Master Boot Record partitioning scheme. Use Disk Utility to check the format of the flash drive before proceeding, and partition or erase the flash drive if necessary.
I suspect the GPU is not getting the correct driver and the Installer fails. The Generic VGA should work. From the OS X side, can you see files in your BC volume? If yes, can you look for logs in the BC volume at the following locations.

What exactly are you referring to? Are the menus or templates for Pages in a different language? Does something strange appear on the screen when you type?
Could you perhaps use the Camera icon here to post a screenshot of what you are seeing?
To make sure you have the right keyboard, go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and make sure that only the box for US or British is checked (and that the box for French or German or anything else is not checked).

HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
Thanks for your comments.

Unable to Access Settings Screen - Contacts Lost

I have an iPhone 5c 16GB. I updated to iOS 8.0.1 last week and there didn't seem to be any issues. My iPhone is backed up via iCloud on a daily basis through wifi in my apartment. This morning I woke up and saw that my contacts on my iPhone were all gone. I went into the settings screen because I wanted to make sure iCloud had backed them up. When I got into the iCloud screen I saw that contacts, notes, calendar etc. were now off, i.e. iCloud was not backing them up. The settings screen then went blank and I was back at the home screen. I turned off the power and restarted my phone and clicked on settings. The settings screen came on for one second and then defaulted back to the home screen. I could not access any of the settings. I logged into iCloud on my computer and saw that contacts were backed up from my address book but some of my notes were gone. The calendar was fine, though. There were none of my apps in my iCloud account.
I couldn't get a Genius Bar appt anywhere today so I went into the AT&T store. They played around with the phone but had no idea what happened. They suggested I take it to the Apple store. I was going to upgrade to the iPhone 6 next month anyways so I figured I would do that today. AT&T didn't have any iPhone 6 16GB in stock so I was told to come back during the week. They suggested I plug in my current iPhone into iTunes and sync it to see if I could get back the contacts. When I did that I was instructed to download iOS 8.0.2. I downloaded and installed it. I still had the same problem, though...the settings screen would not remain open. I created a vcard and PDF backup of my contacts (via web-version of iCloud) but some important notes from notepad were no longer there. They're not in iCloud and not on my iPad. I'm thinking that my iPhone is still backing up via iCloud but since contacts, notes, calendar, etc. were unchecked (how they got unchecked I have no idea), the backups are basically of nothing. When I get the iPhone 6 and want to set it up using my iCloud account I'm wondering if any of my contacts, apps, calendar, notes, etc. will be restored. Have I lost this information forever?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

It sounds like something is corrupted.
Just as a test, there's a way to open the settings wizard from the command line. For instance, this command would open XP Mode's settings from the default location:
vpcsettings.exe “C:\Users\[USERID]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vmc"
(replacing USERID with the correct user ID)
If that works, there is a way to reset the mappings.

Strange email addresses during setup

Hi all,
Have a question that has stumped both Apple and Verizon representatives. I received my iPhone 6 plus today, and at a point during setup it asks me for my iCloud ID and password. After accepting that, it takes me to the screen asking which backup to use. After selecting the most recent (or any for that matter) it took me to a screen asking for the password associated to a completely random and strange e-mail address I have never seen. The Apple repeesentative finally told me to skip this step. I agreed, and when taken to the next step it again asked me for the password to the email address associated with purchases except it was a different strange email. I once more skipped, only to see another e-mail that I have no knowledge on and do not know anyone associated with it. Both Apple suggestions do not appear to be viable, as I never back up or sync from other computers and I haven't added any other emails to my account. I toyed with the idea that maybe I had received a floor model, but I don't think that's the case as it arrived in the original, plastic wrapped package. I realize this was long-winded, just wondering if anyone had any ideas on the cause. I searched and didn't find anything remotely related, which makes this even stranger. thanks in advance to anyone who might have a suggestion.

If you are on WiFi only then it should not cost anything...BB10 devices are capable of all data-level services via WiFi only. However, what is not controllable is what actually happens when you are traveling. For example, if you leave your Mobile Network running for roaming voice services, then there is of course some possibility that something will traverse that network instead of the WiFi network (out of range, for example). But, of you are really concerned, one way to be certain would be to keep all Data Services off while you are strictly in voice mode (e.g., not near any WiFi). When you are on WiFi, turn your Mobile Network services off and turn on Data Services. That way, you can be sure that no data services will ever traverse the Mobile Network.
However, that may be overkill...but there is no way for us to know what your carrier nor the carrier on which you are roaming might or might not do.
Good luck!

Black Screen During Gameplay and not High Demand Renders?

Hi,
The computer I own has been having issues with games that it previously had no problem with. 20-30 minutes within a session the screen will go black and audio will continue momentarily. The only way out of this issue is to hold down the power button for a reset. I have updated my drivers and cleaned out any dust with pressurized air. But the problem still continues. The strange thing is that I use Photoshop and After Effects for my work and there is no issue. Need help!

Hello masinic2,
I understand that just recently you started getting freezing and a black screen during game play and are looking to resolve it. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7), which will walk you through restoring your computer back to a point in time where you did not have this issue. This will not affect your personal files, but it will affect any applications you have installed or settings you have changed between now and the time you restore back to. You will have to reinstall or redo the changes that are undone during that time frame.
Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

Microsoft office 2013 encountered an error during setup in Window 8.1

Initially, I got microsoft office 2013 64bit standard version installed in window 8.1. However, it suddenly got errors when opening office, and closed the program automatically. Therefore, I uninstalled it, and tried to re-install office.
However, I got the error "microsoft office 2013 encountered an error during setup" everytime when I try to install it.
I tried 32-bit and 64 bit version, and tried to install in clean boot, deleted registry, and modified the folder name "Microsoft Help", but none of them works.

Make sure you completely uninstall previous versions of Office. There may be remnants left behind, even after you uninstall Office using the normal procedure. I recommend using the “Fix It” utility to uninstall Office 2013 completely. Please refer to this
article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501/en-us you might also follow the manual steps provided on the same page.
If you still having problems, re-registering the Windows Installer and checking permissions on the %TEMP% folder and the C:\Windows\Installer folder to make sure you have full-control. To re-register the Windows Installer run the following commands:
msiexec /unregister
msiexec /register

No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
That would depend on what you are trying to do.
