Using Parallels, would like to use bootcamp instead, but I don't know how?
Hi guys.
I have a MBP 15" late 2011 ( the one before retina display model) os x 10.7.5, upgraded RAM to 16GB.
I've installed parallels desktop 7 and used Windows 7 through it.
I am aware that using parallel windows means the RAM and processing power is share between 2 os... am I right?
I would like to play some games that I can only play on Windows, and I guess using bootcamp will be better, because processing power is not shared.
In this case, how do I 'install' my Windows on bootcamp?
I know my MBP has bootcamp pre-installed, all I wonder is would installing it on parallels first affect my switch to bootcamp.
I've heard of some case...
People used bootcamp at the beginning, and switched to use parallels, that means the parallel windows is still from bootcamp partition.
What about my case... parallels first and then bootcamp (never activate bootcamp until now) Do i need to somehow reinstall my windows to bootcamp partition??
Sorry for my poor English

You are right.

Parallels and VMware Fusion allows you to convert your Boot Camp volume into a virtual machine, so you can run OS X and the Windows copy you have in the Boot Camp volume at the same time. However, in your case, everything is more difficult, because you have to install Windows onto the Boot Camp volume.
First, make a backup of your data with Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner. You wouldn't be the first one that deletes the OS X volume by mistake and lose everything.
Then, open > Software Update, and install all the updates. After that, open "Boot Camp Assistant", in /Applications/Utilities) and follow its steps to install Windows. Make sure you tick the option to download the Windows support software, and you will need a DVD or USB drive to burn it. When it finishes, your computer will restart from the Windows DVD, and follow these steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf

Hi, I use Notion 4 like rewire slave in Logic, but I don ´t know, how to activate audio input from it, can anybody help me? Thanks, Mario
With the rewire slave running, create an aux track in Logic. You should see rewire as an option for the inputs of the aux track.

If you have any advice I would really appreciate it!!I have the same problem, but have an OSX 10.7.5. My iCloud account is active on my phone, but when I try and reset on my mac I am guided away from system pref. with this message
Cloud Mail couldn't be enabled from the iCloud Preference Pane.
When I try setting up in mail this error message is displayed:
iCloud IMAP server “p15-imap.mail.me.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.

I have 2 iPhones - one for personal use and one for work. They are currently connected with the same Apple ID. I would like to separate the two accounts. Does anybody know how to do this?
Just create a new AppleID for your work.
As Allan suggested, items purchased on one iTunes account cannot be moved to the other account.
However, you can put items purchased on on account onto the other iPhone. -
Hi, Robert here, I moved to US from Singapore and I would like to switch itunes so I can purchase a book but I don's know how? Please help!
I believe you mean to say that you wish to switch which country's iTunes Store you are accessing. Go to iTunes Store > Change Country (all the way at the bottom) to do this. You'll have to use up all of your iTunes balance to do this. Post back if this is not what you wanted to do.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

My phone has no more storage but it says i have 5gb on icloud but i don't know how to use them.

iCloud storage doesn't affect the available storage on your device. It's for backing up your device and syncing your data, so you can recover the data if needed.
You probably need to import photos/videos to your computer or another destination (like a photo kiosk & burn CDs), and then delete them from your device. Or, delete some unused apps from your device. -
i had nokia n8 and now i want to transfer my contacts from nokia to my new i phone 5, i set up i tune and i cloud account but i don't know how to use do it. i have windows 7 and no outlook
If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self. I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing

The whole story: The hard drive on my quite new Mac Book Pro, bought in December of 2011, crashed and burned in the Fall of 2012. I purchased a new hard drive and was informed that the only way I could have saved my "stuff" was to back it up with an external hard drive. Who knew?? I bought a G Drive Slim at the Apple store, and on their advice. BUT I really don't understand how to use it, and the instructions are completely inadequate. How can you tell when it is finished? I have educated myself on the proper way to eject the Drive, but I don't know how to tell if it is done. Or, frankly, if it is even doing anything. The white light burns steadily, no blinking, no flickering. Nothing. Thanks for help.
are you backing up files, or doing a Time machine backup, either way, the Time machine will STOP when finished and show "last backup at XXXXXX" meaning its done...... OR if when transferring files, it will show a progress bar on your desktop and vanish when files are copied.
Open up the Hitachi drive (your G drive is made by Hitachi, and the best made by the way).....and see if the files are there.
a MORE VISUAL way is to open the hard drive file, and drag and drop files INTO the Gdrive and you can see them visually be copied there as you do it.
To see your HD on your desktop GOTO FINDER......PREFERENCES....then GENERAL TAB.........check the box marked HARD DRIVES.........then your Gdrive will appear on your desktop........open it from there, and DRAG and drop files from anywhere INTO the Gdrive....... easy visual way to see the files being copied into the Gdrive. -
I would like to know how to draw up a list in a cell (like a pull-down menu) to ease data capture, but I don't know how to do that !

I used an account from my friend to download some apps. Because i forget my apple ID. Now I have my new apple ID but I don't know how to change it in my ipod touch 4G. Still the name of my friend is in the apps store. How to delate that name and change with my new apple account?
Thank you for your kind, may God bless you.OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X Heres the link if anyone else had the same problem!! This is if you deleted not only the Mac App Store, but iTunes, Calendar, whatever came with the Mac (Apps that came already installed on the Mac), if you deleted one of those then you have to reinstall the Mac OS, Note: This one is for Mac OS X (Maverick) my version is 10.9.4, go to that link and follow the instructions if you have Mac OS X (Maverick). Other help: Common Mistake: If you delete the app from the dock then just go to finder and applications folder and drag the app back onto the dock(it was just deleted from the dock NOT your system/computer). Hope that helps others who had the same problem.

I have iphone 4 with virgin mobile canada, virgin provided me SIM unlock code online, but i don't know how to use that code to unlock my phone. Can anyone help me in this?
That's not how unlocking an iPhone works.
The carrier the phone is locked to submits a request to Apple, wh updates their database. When that is complete, you restore the phone with iTunes to process the unlock. -
