Still on windows apps

my windows apps(store,maps,sports,video,mail etc) are not opening(it will give an error message
that"the application cant start"),please what can i do???it is saying something about the cache
being damaged.

Hi Waleshi,
Would you mind show us the error screenshot here?
If the error message is related with Windows Store cache, you may follow the suggestions to type wsreset.exe.
And if it won't work, try to re-register the apps:
Open CMD with admin rights, then copy and paste the command below:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
Restart Windows Store and check the issue again.

Deleted Windows via bootcamp, but Launchpad still shows the windows apps. Why?

I had Windows 7 installed on my 2008 Macbook Pro, but after deleting the partition via Bootcamp some time ago, the Windows apps still appear in Launchpad. I'm wondering whether this indicates that there is something of Windows still present on my hard drive? Because I'd rather it not be there, at least for the reason that it absolutely clutters up my Launchpad app selection.
Something to mention is that I used to have a trial copy of Parallels installed on this computer, but I deleted it before I deleted my Windows partition. Hence, the apps are visible within the Mac OS.
This link shows a screenshot image of Launchpad, which shows what I see in Launchpad. I daresay that this is related to something Parallels left on my computer, but if anyone can give any idea as to what I should do, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Okay...had a breakthrough! I went to my Applications folder, but not the regular one, the one found in HD/Users/Me/Applications. There was a folder called "My Boot Camp Applications". I was like whaaaat? So I looked inside, and all the applications I was concerned about were there. I deleted them...and all's good. I'm confused, but relieved. I'm guessing that they were just isolated apps that weren't connected with anything, as I had deleted the Bootcamp partition. So, it looks like things are resolved for the time being...let's hope things don't explode!
I thought I'd put message out there before I rebooted, in case I couldn't after for whatever reason...
Thanks heaps for your help everyone, I really appreciate the helpfulness and willingness of the community. Bravo to you all.
All the best,

Best way to run M$ windows apps on linux ?

hi everyone,
i plan on getting rid of my windows partitions. but that's big deal because i need to run a few (exotic) programs that are made for windows. i need to find a way to use them in linux, be it through a windows emulator or a computer emulator (or whatever).
please don't tell me to find linux equivalents to these programs i need to run, there's just nothing similar on linux.
on some of those programs i need audio to work.
so far i tried wine, qemu (with kqemu), and a combination of qemu and vmplayer (kind of "free" vmware).
my feelings are the following :
- wine improved A LOT during the past year (i really mean it), but my programs are a little buggy (at best). that does not make the usable for day to day use.
- qemu is sooooo slooooow it is barely usable. it took me 4 hours to get a working installation of windows xp (ok, i was multitasking, but still. for the first time ever my system swapped - could this be a memory leak ?)
- qemu + kqemu is toooo sloooooow as well (i suppose when they say near-native speed, it means 1/10 to 1/2 of native speed)... i've been very very disapointed.
- on qemu (and kqemu) i haven't tried the programs i need yet, the windows install process finished too late in the night...
- qemu + vmplayer : qemu is used to generate an image which is then used by vmplayer. i used this trick on gentoo once, and i can tell you this was the best solution i tried so far. usable speed, functional programs. but i didn't achieve to get the sound workind (might need a bit of tuning).
apart from those ones, do you know of usable solutions to get windows apps running on linux ? i need them to just works at reasonable speed, with audio, and, if possible, printing.
any tricks that could improve speed or compatibility are appreciated as well.

vmware-server isnt 'for server emulation' but that can be one of it's uses.
vmware player doesnt allow you to create vm's. vmware server does. vmware server is able to do *almost* anything that vmware desktop can do. It's got the added benefit that if X crashes, or you close the frontend X app, the vm's still keep running on the daemon.
So it could be considered to be oriented towards usage for servers - I myself ran a openbsd server on it for a while. -- but it doesnt have to be used for that, and I use it for testing other distros, and I have Win XP installed to an image too.
vmware server does support sound, and im pretty sure you can make images that will work in vmplayer.

How do I remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu?

So with three separate builds of WTP I've run the PowerShell command to remove Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps. With each build, it also removes the Start Menu. In the thread below, an MS Support person mentioned that that command was only for Windows
8.x and shouldn't be run on WTP. What? Then why is that command still available? And, why will it remove some Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps, but not others? Are they marked as System required? Why isn't the Start Menu marked as System required? You'd
think that the start menu would be pretty important.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/053f63bc-c174-44f1-8f6c-8ead1ad965fb/spartan-and-start-menu-on-10049?forum=WinPreview2014General
So, with the start menu being an XAML app, how do I safely remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu? I have no use for them and don't want them on my computer. Period. There has to be some command like the one we used
in Windows 8.x that will allow use to remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu.
Don't give an answer like "just right-click and uninstall". That doesn't work for all of these things, and do you know how long it takes to do that for all of those silly things? Too long! That's also not practical for an Enterprise desktop. It's
also not practical to leave all of that junk on the desktop, so don't suggest that either.

The problem with PowerShell and all of those scripts is that those particular scripts require a lot of typing, or copy and paste, or having to figure out where all of those apps are stored and then insert their convoluted names into the script. For
me, scripting is like programming. I have no desire to be a programmer/developer.
I just want an option in Programs and Features to be able to turn these "features" off. We were able to do it in previous versions of Windows. If we didn't want Internet Games, we uncheck the box. If we don't want our users to be able to print
documents over the Internet, we uncheck the box. And so on down the line for any other "feature" we didn't want our enterprise users to have.
Or, we could turn those features off using the System Image Manager. Now we have to write some convoluted script with even more convoluted commands for even more convoluted names for things we don't want.
The easier script in Windows 8.x was just get-appxpackages -online | remove-appxpackages. That removed the majority of the apps for an individual user. The remove-appxprovisionedpackage command, with the convoluted name of the app, would remove them from
the hard drive - one app at a time, but that doesn't work in Windows 10.
So, they came up with a DISM command, but that doesn't work in Windows 10 either. I should say that with my limited developer skills I haven't found a way to make it work.
Again, I have no desire to be a developer/scripter. They are the same thing in my book. I'm a systems engineer. I do operating systems, not write applications.

So, I guess there is no real answer to this question.

I purchased OS X Lion on my laptop and if I use the same username on my desktop it should just download not make me pay again, yet it is still saying "BUY APP" not "INSTALL." What do I do?

Adobe AIR Windows app instance control

Hello!
I´have an old Adobe AIR Windows app. How can I prevent multiple instances of the app. For example one user account launches the app on login, then on a user switch a new instance is started. I want only one instance of the app running. I come up with an idéa of creating a .lock file that is created on start and deleted on app close. But what happens if the power of the computer is removed? Then the .lock file is present and the app can´t launch again. Any idéas?

Are you certain that the previous users instance of the app is still running when that user is logged out? Unless Adobe has changed how AIR works in recent years, AIR is built to only allow one instance of the application to be running. In fact, that has been a complaint by some people who figured out how to get around that limitation so they could have multiple instances of the app running at once.

Trouble running "Universal Windows app that consumes data from the Azure Marketplace" sample

I am trying to run the sample titled "Universal Windows app that consumes data from the Azure Marketplace". I am not sure how to enter the credentials for the Zillow APIs. I obtained a key from Zillow, but when I enter it per the instructions
in the sample, I still get an unauthorized (401) error.
The instructions say Insert that key into the SampleDataSource file of your project in place of the string "Your account key goes here".
So I replaced my key in this line of code:
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("<Your account key goes here>",
"<Your account key goes here>");
Am I missing something else?

Hi isgimaryann,
I would suggest you ask question at:
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Universal-app-that-d7406c5b/view/Discussions#content to see if the owner of the sample will give you some suggestions.

Windows Apps can't save to Snow Leopard Server

I just set up a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard 10.6.4. Mac Users have no problems saving files from applications, but Windows users cannot save directly from Windows apps, such as Excel or Word. Windows users can drag files directly to the share point and it copies fine. This affects both XP and Win 7.

Windows access files in differing ways depending on the product you are using. Some, like explorer, used to, and still may, make DOS calls, others depend on higher level APIs. Thus, what works in one may not work in others.
Windows Office applications are very sensitive to directory, file, and record locks, and SMB permissions due to sharing issues. Be sure that your ACL permissions are set properly on each share point, and that you have set up the SMB tab under protocol options for each share point as well (turning on "share this item using SMB" ad enabling oplocks and strict locking. Mac to SNL works on posix permissions so you wouldn't see any issues if those are set properly, which they tend to be by default.

Are you having the same problem where either Email app won't open up or the PC Settings keeps blinking but refusing to stay up?
I've tried a restart but nothing changed. So, I'll guess we'll have to wait patiently until they find a solution for the next big patch/Windows update.
I get the feeling that recent update may have done a little harm than progress but guess that's why it's still in the Beta stages before release.

Windows Apps Store Installed doesn't works.

I have Windows 8.1 pro. Whenver a new app is installed in the windows apps store. It just shows up and then minimizes. I just checked my eventviewer(eventwvr), saw this error under windows logs-application-"Activation of app VideoLAN.VLCforWindows8_paz6r1rewnh0a!App
failed with error: No such interface supported See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.". Don't know what to do. Please help me.

Hi harishn007,
According to the result of AppsDiagnostic.diagcab, there might be an issue related to the “Windows store cache’’.
You could open Command Prompt and Run “DISM / Online / Cleanup-image / RestoreHealth” Command to check component Integrity.
If component Integrity is fine and it still doesn’t work, I recommend resetting your Windows store cache.
Please search and run wsreset.exe in Windows Charm bar to reset Windows store cache. It will Clear & Reset Windows Store Cache in Windows 8 / 8.1.
Or you could reset your cache manually:
Open’’ C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Packages\WinStore_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState’’ and rename ’’Cache’’ folder to “Cacheold”
and create a new “Cache” folder.
And also it might be caused by corrupted register information or user profile.
I recommend you run following commands as administrator to re-register apps:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register 'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\<App full name>\AppxManifest.xml'
You could find the App full name information in ‘’C:\Users\<username> \AppData\Local\Packages’’. E.g.,” Microsoft.BingMaps_8wekyb3d8bbwe”
Let’s see what happens.
Also, considering that the corrupted user profile will cause this issue, please test in new user account to see if it can work fine.

How do I configure to use X windows apps like "ssh -X" or Tk?

I am trying to configure my machine as an X windows server so that I can use X programs remotely via "ssh -X" or run local Python scripts that use Tk. I'm currently unable to do this an am not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I have set my DISPLAY=".0". If I run xterm in a shell I get the following error:
$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: .0
Similarly, if I run a simple Python script that tries to create a Tk app I get the following error:
$ ./tk.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./tk.py", line 6, in ?
root = Tk()
File "/sw/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1569, in _init_
self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
_tkinter.TclError: this isn't a Tk applicationcouldn't connect to display ".0"
If I try to run X-windows apps remotely via "ssh -X" it doesn't work (e.g. emacs still shows up in the terminal window).
What do I have to do to set this up?
Does anyone have a pointer to a detailed tutorial about setting the DISPLAY variable on UNIX. For example, one saying what the format of the value is. (You'd think this would be all over the internet, but I'm having a hard time Googling one up.)
Thanks.

"ssh -X" into a remote machine still
doesn't work though.
Because you need to use -Y (as someone already mentioned)
Please don't be upset at a blunt comment, but you can't get XDarwin without installing it.
However, you mention having fink. I would guess that you used fink to install something else that needed X Windows, and fink installed XDarwin for you. It would have asked you if you wanted to install dependencies and you would have said yes. If this is what happened, it happened because you hadn't first installed the X11 user package from your installation CD.
If it were my machine I would do the following: (1) remove any fink packages that require X windows, including XDarwin. (2) install X windows from the Apple CD. Install the X windows development package also. (3) reinstall the fink packages. fink should notice you have Apple's X Windows, and use it.
Then, when you start up Apple's X11 (which is in the Utilities folder, as someone else mentioned), you are starting up an X server, which is what you wanted in the first place. It will bring up a xterm window or two, as did XDarwin. In one of those use ssh -Y. Not -X. Use -Y. A while back, Apple upgraded to a more recent version of ssh, and everyone who had been using -X had to change to -Y.
You should not have to set DISPLAY. Not on the local machine, not on the remote machine. The ssh -Y command takes care of it for you on the remote machine. On the local machine it's already set for you when you start up X11. (Maybe if you run Terminal, and try to start X windows client apps from there you need to, but I never do it that way, so I can't say for sure. Some people prefer it that way.)
What's in Apple's X11 is essentially the same as what's in XDarwin. There may be some subtle differences, but I don't know what they are. The main thing is that it's confusing to have both installed.

JFileChooser functioning like normal Windows Apps FileChooser

I have this problem that's been giving me too much headache already. When you click on Open on any Windows app, and click on the "Details" button, it will show you the files' details (FileName, Type, Date, etc.). This is the same with JFileChooser, so no problem there. The thing is, with Windows apps, you can click on the headers and have the files sorted according to the header you clicked. This doesn't happen to a JFileChooser. Has any of you guys did this or found any solution to this problem? I've searched (almost) everywhere, Google, Sun, etc., I even looked into JFileChooser's source code but I can't seem to find anything.
I know this is possible, so anyone who can help, you'll be greatly appreciated.

Thought I would pass along some updated code for this as this was very helpful to us as we are still on jdk 1.5.
This has been modified to use the Windows UI. The advantage of doing this in the UI class is so you can set it as the default UI for JFileChooser inside your application. If you had this as a subclass of JFileChooser (as it is above) then you explicitly have to use that subclass throughout your application. By setting this UI class as the FileChooserUI in your UIDefaults table then every instance of JFileChooser will now automatically use your overridden UI and theres nothing else you have to do.

Windows Media Centre - Windows Media Foundation - Windows Apps. Replacement for WMC

Still looking for a PVR replacement but DVBLogic looks like it might do the job.
Have gone down the Plex Windows App route (The clostest replacement to WMC player so far) but they are saying they are hamstrung by limitations of the App sandbox? and Windows Media Foundation.
I need some concrete information from the Windows Media Centre People or Windows Media Foundation people so that developers can be steered in the right direction to help people like me switch over from WMC to something else without major headaches, frustrations,
days and days of conversion and metadata reentry.
My post from Microsoft Community
Hi,
Since Windows Media Centre almost didn't make it into Windows 8 I have been looking to move to something else before it disappears for good.
While it might just make it into Windows 10 there certainly won't be any future development.
I not a big fan of Microsoft products but WMC is one application they nailed
Some additional smart recording options
i.e. I had to add "The Big Bang Theory - Return", "The Big Bang Theory - New", "The Big Bang Theory - Finale" etc to my series recording
A proper library manager (Plex does a great job of this) e.g. by series, season, episode - Movies - Documentaries etc with additional data downloaded.
A few more playable formats/containers
It would be perfect.
A proper Library wasn't as important as most of the metadata could be viewed directly in windows explorer.
Not supported with other containers.
This brings me to the first obstacle.
All the alternatives I have looked at so far can't or won't support .wtv files
Converting the files to another format/container loses all the explorer properties. (And some of the metadata completely)
Discussions I have had so far are pointing the finger at the "Windows Media Foundation"
I.e. Developers can't do anything with .wtv files because WMF doesn't support them.
So the question is: If Windows Media Centre is no longer viable for Microsoft why haven't they atleast provided the tools for developers to support the format/container they forced upon so many users of their product.
i.e. Metadata reader/writer
Codec/Container? player?
I need a replacement for Windows Media Centre: What is/are the alternative(s)?

I really like the Plex Store App byt they can't play Recoreded TV Files without transcoding them.

On your iPad tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should give you a payments link on your account's page. Or on your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should also be a payment link.
Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit ? And office pro 2013 64 bit too?

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go

Again thank you. If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email. That's my understanding anyway. Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

Still on windows apps
