Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

I need to re-install my inDesign 5.5 but don't have my licence no for the previuos version (3). My 5.5 has been registered on my Adobe-account, but not the CS3, what can i do?

I need to re-install my inDesign 5.5 but don't have my licence no for the previuos version (3). My 5.5 has been registered on my Adobe-account, but not the CS3, what can i do?

Why do you need InDesign CS (that is version 3) or InDesign CS3 (that is Version 5) to install InDesign CS5.5 (it is version 7.5)?
If it is an upgrade and asks you to input your serial of an older version, you have to get an find it. No one will help you here. If you can't find it and if you have not registered it, you are out of luck. You will have to spend money for a new version.

Are you a developer? If so, post this question in the developer forum. If not, why are you using a beta version of ios 7? You need to restore your device as NEW in itunes and update the current software version.

How can we stop iPrint from pushing out printers?

Is there a global way to stop iPrint Client Management from pushing out printers? Or, is there a way to report on all group objects that have a printer assignment? We are trying to stop printers from being pushed, but we have 100+ group assignments, as well as some printers that are specifically assigned to users. Trying to find them all and then change them all is going to be a difficult task. We're hoping there's a setting in the Driver Store or Print Manager that we missed.
Thanks,
Joe

HT201401 How can I stop keypad from dialing out loud without turning my phone off ring

Do not want to turn my ringer off but when in public and dialing a number, would not like everyone to hear me dialing a number. Is there anyway of fixing this issue.

I have the same problem guys but i found half the solution:
It seems you can custom format numbers (many custom formats) in address book on a mac.
Then address book is smart enough to figure out which format to use for which country.
i.e. if you put +44 XXX XXX XXXX for a uk number, then it will automatically format it to THAT format as soon as you enter a number starting with 44. Furthermore, it will automatically update all +44 numbers to that format. You can have as many custom formats
Then have everything synced automatically via icloud.
Though it looks great in Address book,
i still have a problem getting all that nice formatting to show up on the 4s
Any ideas?
Thanx

How can I stop wifi from cutting out when I am still near my router?

My iPhone is not picking up the wifi very well and when I go upstairs it cuts out, even though other iPhones still have full wifi upstairs.

My email account has been hacked and my address book has been used to send unsolicitated emails to all my contacts, how can I stop this activity

My email account has been hacked and my address book has been used to send unsolicitated emails to all my contacts.

First of all
Run windows in safe mode (with network) and change your password on your email account.
Then
run several anti-malware programs (there are many free ones, but not all are trustworthy)
Malwarebyte >> http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Microsoft Safety Scanner >> http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Windows Defender >> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/using-defender
Spybot >> http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
Kasperky >> http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan
Rootkit scanner TDSS-Killer >> http://support.kaspersky.com/5350
And when all is clean, change password for your email account again.

HT201317 my iphone 5c broke and was replaced today, but only a small portion of pictures tranferred to the new phone. Please help me get the rest of my pictures back on my phone

my pics did not transfer to my new iphone 5c icloud

Use your computer's backup to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link, or do the same with both computers networked in some fashion, which shouldn't be hard to do if both computers are connected to the same wireless network.

Stop Photo Booth from 'timing out' and freezing

Hi,
Is there a way one can prevent Photo Booth from 'timing out'?
When one launches Photo Booth, one sees a preview of what the camera can see. If one switches to another window, then after around 30 seconds this preview 'stops'. To resume the preview, one must click on the application again to make it the active window.
Is there a workaround to prevent this from happening?
Alternatively, are there any pieces of software which show me what my camera can see which do not 'stop' after a small amount of time? I realise that Photo Booth was not written with this use in mind, so I can understand the limitation.
With Windows, there was a plethora of applications which served this purpose, but I'm not familiar with the Mac alternatives. I used a piece of software called 'CamViewer' on Windows, however running the camera in a virtual machine just to get this functionality would be an inconvenience to me.
Thank you for your help with this,
Joseph.

Just a follow up, DO NOT use HeadsUp. At least, not until the developer has fixed some problems with it. Just having the app open makes my rMBP's temperatures soar to over 100 degrees with some serious fan noise.

I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling, but it is no longer installed as an add-on

I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling the add on and plug in, but it is no longer installed as an add-on or plug in. How do I get the "new tab" request to simply open with a blank address in the address box instead of www.imesh.com.

Ok, I finally managed to get rid of it.
First I did the thing with the about:config but I flitered for imesh instead and managed to reset two thing but when I got to the keyword.URL I got the same thing as lolbabe98 did with the "An attempt to change your search engine or homepage was blocked."
Then I did a search on my C: drive for iMesh and discovered some things that hadn't been removed even though I had unistalled both the toolbar and the actual program. After that it worked fine and I now have a regular "untitled" tab when I open a new tab.
One last thing, when I tried to remove some of the files there was one that said it was in use, it was called datamanagerUI or something rather. The only thing I had to do there was to open Task Manager and kill a process called DATAMN~1 and I was able to remove it. Hope this helps.

How can i stop icloud from downloading all my photos onto my iphone 4s each time I sync. Then, how do I delete them from my phone, there are no delete options. I'm slowly going crazy.

How can i stop icloud from downloading all my photos onto my iphone 4s each time I sync. Then, how do I delete them from my phone, there are no delete options. I'm slowly going crazy.

Hi iprover,
Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
This is what I gather.
iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

Yes. But, I see from the THOUSANDS of responses here concerning Firefox memory issues that other people have had no more success than I have at trying to STOP Firefox's memory gluttony. The fact that Firefox runs fine (like the good old days) for a while after re-booting and registry cleaning shows that something is going on beyond the trivial/ineffective suggestions offered in the referenced links.
Having to re-boot several times a day to get Firefox out of the molasses is such a pain, that it's no wonder people are going back to IE, or like me, reluctantly relying more and more on Google Chrome.

If iTunes is trying to re-download the .ipsw file, that tells me it either was not completely downloaded or is corrupt. If the file were already downloaded & complete, iTunes would simply install it.
