  • Switching from IDE to AHCI without re-installing (Windows 7 and 2003)

    Hi,
    I had posted about how I had switched Windows 7 64-bit on my 880GM-E43 earlier on this earlier thread:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=148522.0
    and mentioned that I also wanted to get Windows 2003 (32-bit) switched on this same mobo (I dual boot).
    I just found this last night:
    http://www.wikihow.com/Enable-Raid-or-Ahci-Without-Reinstalling-Windows-for-Amd-Sb850-(Possibly-Sb8Xx)-Controllers
    and got it working.

    Additionally GRUB seems to be sensitive to overclocked systems. I get stuck on Veryfying DMI pool data. GRUB won't start when disk controller is set to IDE. To get GRUB to start I have to:
    - enable AHCI (GRUB starts)
    - reboot and disable AHCI (GRUB starts)
    My OC configs have never caused such behavior when I had only Windows 7 installed.

  • I just switched from a PC and am installing googlemail on my macbook. it has successfully connected my calendar and contacts. But my mail is not linking. i get a unable to connect to the server message. any ideas wise ones pls

    i have just switched from a PC and installing my googlemail account onto my Macbook pro. I can successfully see my calendar and contacts but my mail will not connect. i get an error message - can not connect to the server. Any ideas please?

    Neil,
    I don't use Apple's Mail client (I use MS Outlook) but setting up your Gmail account should be fairly straightforward. Just make certain that you have your settings correct.
    For your incoming server, be sure to use the "map.gmail.com" server, using SSL, using port "993" (usually the default).
    For your outgoing server, be sure to use the "smtp.gmail.com" server, override the default port and use port "465" and use SSL to connect and make sure that you enter your email address and password to access the SMTP server.
    If you've already set up your account with these settings, you may need to Google "gmail setup apple mail" and find the Google document relating to same.
    Good luck,

  • I seem to have 2 Apple IDs, one on my MacBook Pro and another on my devices.  If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud.  I have no idea how I go 2 IDs

    Can I get rid of one  ID?  How do I do that?

    one on my MacBook Pro
    That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.
    If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud.  I have no idea how I go 2 IDs
    Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

  • My iphone 4 is stalling a lot. I've had it for a year now, I have the most current OS, it's not too full of apps, or anything like that. Many times throughout the day, I cannot switch from app to app, unless I do a complete power-off. Any ideas?

    I've had it for a year now.
    I have the most current OS. I snyc it to my itunes 2-3 times a week. It is only about 25% full. It stalls (I don't know if I would call it freezing) between trying to switch from app to app. I either have to let it sit there for a few minutes, or turn it all the way off and turn it back on.
    And yes, I know to press the home button twice to get the bottom part activated. That's not working. I'm not sure if this is a common thing, or what with iphone 4's.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

    As long as iMessage is enabled and the old phone is connected to a WiFi access point, it will continue to receive iMessage texts. It won't receive non-iMessage texts nor will it receive any calls.

  • I think it was a bad idea switching from ATT to Verizon

    So we have been a Verizon customer for 6 days. I started looking into the online billing for my account.
    Right off the bat we owe $259.47 without doing anything.
    So I look into the billing details. OK so they prorate some expected usage...whatever.
    It's the equipment charges that concern me, A LOT, with this "Edge" program.
    It's simple math.
    We purchased three phones, but I will focus on one of the Samsung Galaxy 5s devices for sake of discussion.
    The price tag at Best Buy said $299 with new plan activation.  Great.  Let's just say $300 to make the math easy.  Again, just to note we were switching from being LONG TIME AT&T customers to Verizon for the first time.
    I digress. When I look at the equipment charges, the Edge balance (six days in mind you) is $569.81.  Simple math tells me that $300 does not equal $569.81. So I'm paying way more over the span of 20 months than what the phone was actually priced for at the store. Better yet, the first installment of the 20 installments is $30.81.  So let's see $30.81 x 20 = $616.20.  So I will be paying DOUBLE over the span of 20 months over what the device is actually worth. 
    WHY?
    I have this problem x 3 phones.
    Would have been cheaper to just buy the phones for $299 and not done the Edge plan.  This isn't much of a deal at all.
    Looks like we need to cancel and go back to AT&T ASAP.  This edge program is a huge ripoff.

    The prices at Best Buy are not honored at Verizon Wireless.
    The Edge Program takes the full price of the devices not any discounted prices.
    That would be why you are seeing what you are seeing on your online account details.
    Add in taxes and administrative fees per line, insurance if you have it, prorated service and the month in advance makes your invoice higher on the first invoice.
    After that you pay the price of your plan plus taxes and fees and that $30.81 per device.

    The link above is for the Edge program.
    Good Luck

  • Switching from CorelDraw to Illustrator

    I have been a die-hard CorelDraw user for nearly 20 years now! So this switch is not easy on me! LOL  But it's ended up being one of necessity.
    A little background:
    My HP laptop computer recently started acting pretty funny and finally gave up the ghost about a week ago. Over the years I've been under quite a bit of pressure from clients, fellow designers, and print shops to switch from CD to AI, but I'd resisted. But the replacement computer I ended up getting last week is a Mac, and I see it as a good opportunity to force myself to make the switch.
    Most of my files are saved into DropBox. BUT, I'm not finding any sort of import feature in AI that will allow me to open up my native CDR files. Since that Windows computer has gone to the great beyond, it's not going to be easy for me to open those files up and export them.
    I suppose I could just install Parallels or something similar, but if I'm going to make this switch to Mac, I'd like to keep things ALL Mac, and not give myself the option of reverting to old ways (LOL).
    Any suggestions on how I can open my old CDR files in AI fairly easily?  I understand there are likely to be problems with transparencies from the original files. That's expected. But I'm having issues with other tasks as well.  For instance:
    I had a bitmap image in my original CorelDraw image and cropped it down a bit. In Corel, if I later wanted to "uncrop" that bitmap, I could easily do so. Is there a way of doing this in AI as well?
    Also, When I'm trying to select objects within a specific area, the selector tool seems to select anything that the area even partially touches. So if the edge of an object falls within my selection area, the whole object is selected. Or if there are objects on top of a background object and I try and select, the background object gets selected as well because it is "touched" by the selection area. This is driving me batty!
    I'm sure there will be more issues as I start working my way through things, but these are for starters.
    Thanks in advance for any help y'all can afford.
    ~Laura

    Hi Laura,
    1 - The issue of opening CDR files: One solution may be to download a trial of Corel Draw to your Mac and save your files as Illustrator documents or to convert them using a converter like Inkscape (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ)
    2 - Illustrator doesn't have a "crop" tool perse. Instead, you use clipping and opacity masks to hide areas of the image. The images can later be "released" from the mask, if you'd like. Here are some videos explaining how to do this.
    3 - The issue of selection: I have never used Coreldraw myself, nor do I have an idea of how much experience you have with Illustrator, so please forgive me in advance if I am oversimplifying my explanation here. There are two selection tools: the Selection Tool (black arrow) and the Direct Select Tool (white arrow). The black arrow will select entire objects within a dragged selection area, while the white tool selects points within a selection area. As far as accidentally selecting objects below the desired one, try shift+clicking on the top object to add it to your selected objects instead of drag selecting, or dragging the tops objects to a new layer and locking the one below. Individual objects can also be locked.
    I hope this is helpful, and please don't hesitate to follow up if you have any questions.

  • Switched from pounds to dollars

    My UK iPad has just switched from UK pounds to US dollars in apps store, any ideas?

    Try Settings, General, International, Region format, correct country selected.
    If not that, look around in settings and you should find the issue.
    Also, the ibook app allows for a free download of the user's guide for the ipad.

  • Data network errors when manually switching from 3g to 2g

    Hi everyone,
    Apologies if this has been posted before but im running out of ideas! - Got my iphone 4 a couple of weeks ago and have noticed a rather irritating problem with it. For some reason, if i manually switch from 3g to 2g the data connection drops.. I get 'cannot activate cellular data network' errors and i have to toggle airplane mode on/off to reset the connection. Is this a network issue? - I live in London and am with Vodafone... Their tech support are useless as all they suggest is resetting the phone or getting it replaced. Its my third handset in 2 weeks and im getting close to calling it a day and sending the phone back to Apple. Anyone out there in a similar situation? - Advice??

    Bump
    So no-one has suffered this issue? - Not even fellow vodafone uk users?

  • I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.

     I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.  
    I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7.  After several years of use, I am self taught and adequately proficient for an amateur.  What I didn't realize (until I started researching my upcoming migration on the Internet) is that I actually use PE8 for two functions: digital asset management and digital editing. 
    Regarding Digital Asset Management: My research leads me to understand that PE on MAC does not provide the same level of organizational capability that I am used to having on Windows, instead providing Adobe's Bridge which does not look very robust.  Furthermore, iPhoto, which come on MAC will not support the hierarchical keyword tagging that I require to organize my library of photos. The two SW applications which I am thinking of switching to are either Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom.  Frankly, I'm thinking that it would be smoother to stay within the Apple product line. 
    So the remaining question is whether Aperture will support my digital editing needs. The tweaks that I do to my photos are not very complex (no, I do not want to put people's heads on other animal bodies).  But could someone who uses Aperture tell me whether It will allow me to do the following kinds of edits?:
    - If I have a photo where someone's face is too shadowed, can I lighten just that person's face, and leave the rest of the photo as-is?  
    - if I have a photo where the background is cluttered (eg, 2 people in front of the Parthenon which is undergoing renovation), can I remove just the construction cranes?  
    - Can it splice together several separate photos to give a panoramic?  
    If, once I get Aperture, I find that it cannot enable the kinds of editing that I do, I would probably get PE11 in the future. However, if people in this forum tell me that Aperture will definitely not  support the kinds of editing which I've described in the previous paragraph, I would prefer to get PE11 with my initial configuration (since someone will be helping me with my migration).  
    Thanks in advance for your consideration and help! 

    I am concerned, however,  about using a non-Apple Digital Asset Manager in OSX. I would really like to avoid integration problems. Is using PE11 to import and catalog my digital photos likely to cause conflicts?
    Thanks for any insight on this
    Amy,
    Not so much conflicts as maybe a little less seamless integration with Apple software and perhaps some third-party software providers in the Mac App Store where some programs build in direct access to iPhoto and Aperture libraries for getting images into those programs easily. Typically, there is a manual command to go to Finder (think Windows Explorer) to browse folders.
    One caution to mention however, is that the organization you set-up in PE Organizer is unlikely to transfer over to either iPhoto or Aperture if you decide to change at some point.
    The only real stumbling block that I see in your opening comment is that you want hierarchical keywording (Kirby or Léonie can go into the details on keywording limitations as I stay at one level). If you can work with the keywording schemes of either iPhoto or Aperture, then using PE for your external editor (either program supports setting an external editor) would probably be ideal since you know PE well. This is the idea with the Mac App Store version of PE (editor with no organizer).
    Note - I use Photoshop CS6 (full version) with Aperture and it works really well. The only downside is that Aperture has to make either a TIFF or PSD file to send to an external editor so that the original file is protected by not sending it to the pixel editor. While TIFF or PSD files protect the integrity of the image information without degrading it, they are typically much larger file sizes on disk than either RAW or JPEG files. Therefore, your library size (iPhoto or Aperture) will balloon quite a bit if you send a lot of files to external editors.
    One other possibility for an external editor would be a program called Pixelmator. It is pretty similar to early versions of Photoshop, but built for Mac. Other than the panoramics you want, it will do most pixel editing that PE can do. It is not an organizer, so it is built to go with either iPhoto or Aperture. It does have differences in how you complete certain procedures, so there is bit of a learning curve when you are used to doing it the Adobe way.

  • LONG lag time switching from other programs to Flash

    (Intec-Mac - OSX - 1.5 GB RAM)
    Has anyone heard of this before? Any time I switch from any
    other open program to a project in Flash, I get a super long wait
    time before I'm able to work with Flash again. The lag time
    only happens when switching to Flash (I get the spinning
    ball of death while the Flash menus load again -EVERY time!)
    This happens no matter if I have just Flash open and I'm
    switching from the finder back to it or if I have 15 programs open
    at once...
    It is super frustrating and slowing down my workflow between
    Flash and any other programs! I just uninstalled and reinstalled
    hoping it would help but got same result - Any help?

    Your best bet at this point in time is more RAM, since the
    Flash IDE on
    mac is only PPC at this time it runs emulated in Rosetta on
    Intel macs,
    and I've noticed swap times can be quite slow, this is not
    unique to
    Flash in my experience, it happens whenever I swap in a
    resource
    intensive app. Parallels is another prime example - and it is
    intel
    native.
    Adobe engineers appear to have a new found love of the Mac,
    so we can
    only hope the intel native version ships it will be super
    zippy.

  • Switched from iPhone 4 to Samsung Galaxy S4 and am not receiving iPhone text messages...

    Hello,
    I recently switched from the iPhone 4 to the Samsung Galaxsy S4 and am no longer able to receive text messages from other iPhone users. I have combed the forums looking for a solution and so far have come up empty handed. What seems to be working for others is not working for me. Here is what I've tried so far:
    Turned on my old iPhone and iPad, went into settings and turned off iMessage, removed iCloud, disabled FaceTime, and disabled my AppleID in the iTunes & App Store settings. I do not own any other devices that could be using my Apple ID.
    I logged into Apple's Apple ID software and unregistered both devices from my Apple ID account.
    I logged into iTunes and changed my Apple ID, address, removed credit card info, and deactivated all accounts attached. I even deleted any backups that were stored. It's basically a generic account now with no information relevant to my old account.
    I went to the Apple Store and they suggested this was a problem with AT&T...
    I spent hours on the phone with AT&T... they directed me to Apple, do you feel my pain?
    I'm losing my mind here, I'm on call 24/7 for my job and rely on emergency call out text messages for critical incident situations. I am not getting those messages because they are being sent from an iPhone based system. If anyone has any additional information on this I'd really appreciate it, I can't afford to wait 45 days for Apple to recognize I am no longer using the Apple ID associated.
    Thanks for your time,
    ~J

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for the response. I contacted Apple at the link you listed and spoke with a representative. We walked through the steps I took in my first post above to ensure I had done them correctly. He didn't offer any new suggestions other than making sure my contacts turn on their MMS before texting me.
    Unfortunately that is not working either. I tested this with several friends and I am still not receiving their messages. They get a response immediately upon texting me that says the message was undeliverable. They are able to receive my messages, I just don't get theirs.
    Any other ideas?
    It's mind boggling that Apple has made this such a difficult transition. There should not be repurcussions for choosing to discontinue the use of their product. The only other thing I can think to do is have my service provider change my phone number... what a nightmare.

Maybe you are looking for
