Upgrade 10.4 to 10.5 while using fusion software running windows xp
presently running os x 10.4 on my imac and vmware fusion virtual machine with windows xp as the guest system. would like to update to os x 10.5 by doing an archive and install update, but not sure what it will do to the virtual machine.
would like to not have to uninstall vmware and virtual machine and then reinstall windows if at all possible.
will this be possible?
*"not sure what it will do to the virtual machine."*
An Archive and Install should not do anything to your VM.
Also, you should know that this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Fusion at all. Since Fusion is not an Apple product, you should post further questions about Fusion on the Fusion forums:

I have a G4 MacMini with 10.4.11 and would like to upgrade to 10.5. I am using MYM software that runs in 9, Will 9 run in 10.5?
How often are you using MYM in 9? You could install 10.4 on a partition or external and bootup to do your MYM work. Run everything else in 10.5. This is how I transitioned my remaining 9 apps to newer apps for later OS X versions.

Is there a way to select a specific playback device while using itunes 11 on Windows 7?
Is there a way to select a specific playback device while using itunes 11 on Windows 7? I was trying to select a device, is there such an option in itunes as there is in VLC player and Windows Media Player. If not, any idea when this feature will becoem available? Thanks!
iTunes supports multiple Airplay devices that can be selected. If the device does not support Airplay then the manufacture of the device would need to support it for iTunes.

I am considering upgrading my OS on my 2008 iMac from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. However, I use Fusion to run my PC version of Quicken 2006 and have heard that I will no longer be able to do that. Any suggestions?
You can continue using it without any problem. However, check that you are running a VMware Fusion version that it's compatible with Mountain Lion (VMware Fusion 4 and 5 are compatible with Mountain Lion). If you upgrade and you want to use a non-compatible version, you will see kernel panics.
Also, make a backup before upgrading, although everything should work properly after upgrading to Mountain Lion -
Anyone use VMware to run windows on a intel macboon pro
I am looking for a reliable emulator to run widows as an application in my macbook pro.
Does anyone have any experience with the VM WARE player or such.
Any help is appriciated.
Happy Holidays All,
Grant ParkisI use Parallels to run Vista and XP Pro. However it is not nessecary to run emulation software any longer on the mac platform, since Intel processors make it possible to run these OS's natively.
While I do use Parallels to run Windows. For the few moments i really do need to do such a silly thing, Bootcamp is MUCH better to use because Parallels emulates windows, and Bootcamp literally lets you partition the HD for a space to install the OS for real. If anyone is wondering, IMO Bootcamp is a bit more of an inconvienant because you have to reboot into the other partition, Parallels is quicker because it can be opened in its own window, and boot very fast. BUT Paralells is a bit quirky in its operation/emulation of WIndows. BC is not at all and runs as you would expect it to on any Intel computer. -
I have an old (read ancient) Apple Laserwriter 12/640 PS laser printer - that still prints exceptionally well - that I want to print to using my PC (running Windows 7). Suggestions? While using Windows XP Pro, I used PC MacLan's version 9.01 and it worked beautifully. PC Maclan is no longer in business. Windows 7, however, doesn't even recognize any Apple printers in any of its lookups. Suggestions?
The LaserWriter 12/640 PS is a PostScript Level 2 and PCL5 printer with support for LPD (http://support.apple.com/kb/ta21876). How is the printer connected today? An external cable adapter (such as the Apple Ethernet Twisted-Pair Transceiver Model M0437) would allow Ethernet. Providing that an appropriate printer driver can be found (it may be worth checking whether a universal driver or a driver for a similar HP printer could be used), it should not be impossible to set up LPR printing under Windows 7.

Having same issue as dtwaldo1 - utility recognizes unit but when I try to install get error message and try again, Have tried all combinations I can conceive but still get message. My old airport operates OK on same system - but utility does not recognize old model airports. I'm using a PC running windows 8.1 (sorry). Cay you please help?
JohnHi,
If you trying connect two Universal apps through Bluetooth, can you check if the
Windows 8.1 Bluetooth RFComm sample runs fine on both the devices? I successfully tested the Windows 8.1 Bluetooth RFComm sample on Laptop (Windows 8.1) and Windows Phone 8.1 (paired).
Make sure the service which you are trying to advertise/listen is supported by both the devices.

I am going to buy a mac mini i7 with 3 thunderbolt displays for forex trading. the question is if i use bootcamp and run windows on the mac mini will the displays still run the same way as if i was running it on Lion?
No idea if Windows will do it, but you can run Windows without Bootcamp & have OSX available at the same time, which should give you all the Monitors that OSX uses.

First of all, I have Windows XP/HE/SP3 and my main browser is IE8, tho i also have Google and did have, FF V#21. And while using the FF browser, was alerted that my current version was outdated, etc, even tho I just installed V#21 only 1 week ago, but I took FF's word for it and clicked (x'd) to install the upgrade. The application (AP) used to install was called "Optimum Installer" and had the word "Firefox" in smaller print in the upper left hand corner. This seemed diff from the AP i had used to install just 1 week prior, but since i was using IE8 to install FFV#21 originally, I figured the FF browser used this "Optimum" AP, so I proceeded. The small window then said, "you have chosen to open this file" and yet there was no option to "open" only to "save" or cancel. So i x'd on "save" and my Norton file checker popped up to tell me this file is "safe." But afterwards no install window appeared, so i tried to DL the file again and still no Install window after a total of 8 attempts. I finally found the setup file in "my documents" and opened it and x'd to install. It seemed to work ok, tho again, I was asked alot of questions about making thus and such my default browser, or search engine, or home page, etc, and even some other, but i declined them all, i think, but not sure about one possible miscue. Anyways, the AP told me I'd successfully installed this newer version of FF. So of course i wanted to open it and see how it would work, and i went to my task bar/notification tray to X on the globe icon and instead it showed a "setup" icon. I put my mouse under it and it said "Mozilla Firefox" so i went ahead and x'd on it expecting FF to open. Instead, a small warning appeared telling me i had to reboot for the install..to be completed, so i did, but no change. Tried atleast half a dozen times and nothing, no new or any, version of FF working on my pc now. I even tried to look at support, but no answers, then tried to uninstall and it won't even let me do that, it keeps saying that "your computer must first be restarted to complete a previous upgrade"; yet that already hasn't been working. Also, i went from a V#21 to a V#13.0.1 with 77MB+ of space, which is way more than FF#21. Now I do believe this version is corrupt and really don't want it, but can't get rid of it. I even tried to reinstall V21 (also from IE8, since I don't even have FF browser now) and it goes to a point, but then also tells me I can't get this V21 til I complete an install/upgrade of another version. So basically, i have what i believe is a corrupt/malicious piece of software on my pc, calling itself Mozilla V#13.0.1 - which I can't get rid of, and also can't reinstall the version I had, least i finish installing the one i have but don't think I now want. Keep in mind also, I can't do any of the suggestions from within the FF browser that have been suggested, because I don't have it any more, only IE8 and Google....Any suggestions?
Dear Colbabomb; thankyou for your links.
So far, I looked at your first solution, Revo Uninstaller and it gives you a 30 free trial. Ergo, it will eventually cost money so I'm leery of using those kinds of programs in general, meaning most "free trials" have unwanted strings attached and often are big probs to get rid of later. Perhaps you can assure me that it is easy and very user friendly, before I proceed. And I already ran malwarebytes and it found nothing tho the program still can't be uninstalled. I downloaded Adw Cleaner and during the install, my Norton's security popped up and warned that there were (low risk) threats with two of their "other offers" and i hadn't even actually clicked to agree either of them. Nonetheless, Norton warned me against the "lyrics finder" and "deal ply." In fact, there was a box already with an x in it, saying that you are accepting deal ply if you x on "next." Well, except I unchecked that box before clicking on next, yet when it went to fully install, it still showed that it was adding itself; so, just before the install was 100% completed, I had to abort the whole thing. I really do hope your other suggestions are programs that you personally know that they don't try and trick you. But right now, I would not suggest Adw Cleaner to anyone. I even read the fine print about what they will try and install and how to decline and it still tried sticking stuff on that i believed I had declined. Anyways, i have to leave now, shall pick up later this evening, if my pc is still functioning. -
runtime error 429, activeX component cant create object while using netbet pro
does anyone know what I could do to fix this problem??? netbet pro was't available for a while then it's back but has yet to runWhat's netbet pro?
I'd recommend asking questions about third party applications in the vendor's forum, not a Microsoft forum meant for admin scripting.

If that is the case then see:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Restore+the+default+Smart+Bookmarks+Folders
Otherwise check this:
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*Firefox > Options
*"View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up
