What difference does it make if you have boot camp beta and it has expired

I have an imac w/OS 10.4.11--when i purchased it several years ago i had it partitioned and had windows xp installed. when i purchased this several years ago, they were using boot camp beta to do this.
recently i found out that the boot camp beta expired. the problem is i don't see how it has affected my windows or my mac. i don't see any difference.
the only problem i have is that i can't access the internet from the windows xp--*is this something that upgrading my OS and using the full bootcamp would correct?*
if not, then why should i upgrade the OS to Leopard using the final version of boot camp--what will i be able to do that i can't do now _from the WINDOWS XP perspective?_ ( i assume there are advantages from the Mac perspective, but nothing i can see that i need there--i look at the internet, play games (not action games), and write documents).

hi iatrosm,
Yes, i had internet access from both windows xp and from mac for about a year and a half, and then one day the windows access 'disappeared'
i had a microsoft certified technician (son of a friend who also works in the field) come and look at it.
we could only find that for whatever reason the modem was not receiving the signal any longer from windows. the windows showed that the modem was receiving it.
That's indeed very odd.
naturally apple said it was a windows problem and microsoft said it was an apple problem.
my personal feeling is that it is a hardware problem--but the issue is receiving from windows.
the modem works fine from my mac side.
Is this a dial-up modem or part of DSL ?
And how is it connected (ethernet...) ?
Has it some sort of self-test feature or the possibility for a full reset ?
While hardware can break, it usually breaks completely, not OS-dependent.
Is the modem shown in the Device Manager of Windows (Control Panel - System - Hardware) ?
Any system updates you have installed in Windows prior to the failure of the modem ?
Any Firewall settings changed ?

  • What difference does it make when you press Shift + Restore comparing to just press Restore alone ?

    So i'm about to do my first restore and i wonder what is the difference? Do i have to when i open Itunes ,go to summary and press Restore before that to hold Shift ?

    Shift+restore is to restore form an ispw file on your computer.
    Control+restore to restore from backup.
    Above for iTunes 10.7 or earllier or so I have read.

  • Why do I have to convert t2i files to pro res in fcp x? What difference does it make ?

    Hey Guys,
    Just wondering why do I have to convert canon t2i files to prores in fcp x? What difference does it make ? I'm able to edit in fcpx the files that have just been imported diectly in. Does it cause any problems in export?
    Thanks so much,
    Jamie

    I am not familiar with Canon files.
    I assume that they are like AVCHD which are really designed only as a delivery format and not for editing.
    Though they can be edited it is concidered better to convert them to ProRes 422 for editing.
    Though nothing terrible will probably happen if you don't convert them, you are likely to get improved results and faster rendering of complex effects with the converted media.
    The best thing is to do 2 very short (sub - 5 minute) identical test projects adding lots of effects etc. with both methods and then you will be able to determine which technique suits you.

  • I have the latest iTunes 12.1.2.27. However, I am unable to restore my iphone4s. iTunes was able to detect an iPhone in recovery mode. The error is something like "Unable to restore the iphone. Make sure you have the latest iTunes and try again."

    I have the latest iTunes 12.1.2.27. However, I am unable to restore my iphone4s. iTunes was able to detect an iPhone in recovery mode.
    The error is something like "Unable to restore the iphone. Make sure you have the latest iTunes and try again." This is the latest version that exists currently.
    I am using MAC OS X 10.7.5.
    Please advise.
    I have tried all the steps in the apple support.

    There is nothing to backup.
    If the device is showing the Connect to iTunes screen, there is nothing on the device to backup.
    The first step in the update process is a backup... restore the device using that backup and try again.

  • Just what difference does it make?

    Hi all,
    Easy question probably but it stumps me. What is the difference between the volume softkeys (F4/F5) and the iTunes volume slider? Do the two control different aspects of sound or something else.

    F4 & F5 adjust the system volume level and affects all programs and system sounds while the iTunes slider adjusts the volume only for iTunes.

  • What does this statement mean: "There is a problem with your authentication, possibly due to inactivity. For your safety, you have been logged out and must sign in again to continue?"

    I am able to make it to the site for about 2 seconds and then I am quickly logged off and the statement, "There is a problem with your authentication, possibly due to inactivity. For your safety, you have been logged out and must sign in again to continue."
    I don't have a clue as to the problem but since this is impacting my participation in these classes and ultimately could have a negative impact on my grade, I am more than a little concerned!

  • What to do when you have internet connection but go to use an app, you get the Error message, 'An error occurred connecting to the server. Please make sure you have an internet connection' ?

    Yesterday, I downloaded the twoignite app. When I went to open the app to use, this error message appeared: An error occurred connecting to the server. Please make sure you have an internet connection. I checked my connection and found I had a solid connection. I have tried closing the app and reopening it; deleting the app and redownloading it (more than once); turning off my iphone and turning it back on. None of these things have worked. Thanks.

  • TS2756 does it matter if you have att iphone hot spot but verizon ipad for wifi connection

    does it matter if you have att iphone hotspot but verizon ipad for wifi connection

    If you are wanting to use the Verizon iPad as the hotspot you will need a Verizon plan.
    If you are going to connect your Verizon iPad to your iPhone AT&T hotspot via WiFi it makes no difference at all.

  • Error while writing to file: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ iTunes \ iTunes.Resources \ el.Iproj \ iTunesExtrasDownload.png. Make sure you have access to this directory.

    When i try to install iTunes in my Windows 7, this error message apear "Error while writing to file: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ iTunes \ iTunes.Resources \ el.Iproj \ iTunesExtrasDownload.png. Make sure you have access to this directory." Someone help me!!

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • What is SQL Studio. Do you have any idea ?

    Hi
    Please review this URL.
    http://www.sapdb.org/7.4/sap_db_tools.htm
    - What is SQL Studio. Do you have any idea ?
    - I installed the same in my desktop ( Win XP). Unable to  establish the connection to the database using my application login/pwd.  Am I doing something wrong ?
    - Do I have to install any  other software for me to SQL Studio work. ?
    - Where do I go and get more help ?
    PS: I thought it is same like sqlplus but against SAP database, required application userid/pwd not the database login/pwd.
    thanks

  • What does it means when you turn on the macbook and a file with a "?" mark flashes?

    What does it means when you turn on the macbook and a file with a "?" mark flashes?

    It usually means some system files are missing or corrupted. Reinstalling OS X is the fix:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
