What happened to my VMWare & Windows XP??

Just bought and set up a 15" rMBP by backing up from a time machine from my 2010 MBP running Snow Leopard. I selected to transfer all my Applications. Now the rMBP is telling me that it could not load VMWare Fusion? Has anyone else had this problem? What was the resolution?
Thanks!
Mark

ok, nevermind option 2. I downloaded and tried to install VMware 6 on the new rMBP and it's asking for a key. Or i can purchase one online. Wait a minute here, I already purchased a key when I installed VMware originally back in 2009 for a 13" Macbook, which I then transferred to a new 2010 15" MBP when I upgraded a year later.
So - do I need to purchase VMware 6 again to get Windows on my new rMBP?? Also, I'm assuming I'll need to purchase Windows 7? And I can kiss my Windows XP (as well as Office XP) goodbye?? This is not exactly as nice as I pictured things to be.
The more and more I'm running into roadblocks I'm thinking of just returning this rMBP and just use my 2010 MBP until the screws fall out.

What happened to the illustration window that was on the bottom left part of previous versions?
We were also able to choose between the illustration of the selected track and the illustration of the listened track.

What happened to the Activity window in Safari?

there is no more Activity window in Safari. What happened and how can I geet it back?

In Safari 6 in preferences you navigate to the advanced menu and click on the "Show develop menu in menu bar" and you should be able to see much of what is in the page. It certainly is not what we are used to and there are certainly a number of strange changes i am not sure developers have tested on the average user before implementing.

Swapping drive from old Mac to new Mac - What happens to boot camp/Windows?

Hello,
The HDD that was in my Late 2008 Macbook will be going into a Late 2008 Macbook Pro with discrete GPU. The HDD already had Bootcamp installed, with Windows XP, and all of my programs.
I understand that OSX may not boot up right away with the new Mac, and I may have to run the install disks from the new Mac, and it should keep the applications/files/settings intact from the previous installation (thank you forums for telling me this)
What happens to bootcamp/Windows? I'd like for all of my applications and files to remain in tact. The partition and file system should be fine, but will I run into any issues since I'm moving to slightly different hardware? Will I have to reinstall the boot camp drivers? Reinstall of Windows?
I don't mind reinstalling Windows or Boot Camp drivers if necessary, but my priority is to keep all of the files and applications intact upon re installation.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Unfortunately my older MacBook is no longer accessible (long story) and I have no other Macs to test/clone this one on until this Tuesday when the Pro arrives.
I have the XP discs here. I guess in short, I'll just have to wait and see how XP behaves and try to fix as needed.
I was running 10.5.7 on the MacBook. I don't know what the Pro will ship with (its a Refurb from Apple Store) - http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB471LL/A?mco=MjE0NjE5MA
Thanks for your help.

Existing storage spaces: what happens if I reinstall Windows?

Hi everybody, I'm considering using Windows 8 "storage
spaces" to combine two external disks with 2-way mirroring. What will happen if, for some reason, my OS disk is no longer available. How will a fresh
installation of Windows 8 react to an existing storage space? Will it automatically recognise the storage space or does the storage space configuration rely on state stored on the OS disk?
Thank you!
Daniele

What happened to my "Message Window" in iMessage on my Mac?

I'm not sure when this happened, but now when I open iMessage on my Mac, I don't get the full Message Window. I can only see my most recent conversation. Gone are the list of names in the right column. I cannot start a new conversation. I cannot click on a friends name to see my past conversation because the names are not there. I can only see the most recent conversation. I can't find anything in preferences to fix this. And I cannot find any help online. Does anyone know what's going on?

Hi,
In the Resetting Doc that Apple published it does say you end up with two Keychains.
Items not related to the issues are supposed to be moved from the Old to the New.
This creates a Blank keychain in effect but keeps the other on view but inactive.
For the most part you can copy across the items not dealing with Messages to the new Keychain
However, as you say, they will be recreated if you re-enter the info for the accounts in various apps.
In same cases there are cross overs between Accounts used in Mail and those that can be used in Messages.
A Google mail ID can be activated at Google fro Google Talk and used in Messages as the Google ID
It may well be your Apple ID as well and possibly be used in the iMessages account.
Apple IDs issued by Apple such as @mac.com and iCloud linked @me.com and @icloud.com ones can be used as the iMessages Apple ID AND as AIM (AOL) valid Screen Names.
You can have an Apple ID for iCloud and another for iTunes and yet another for iMessages and a yet another for FaceTime and so on.
Most likley the iCloud one is being used in Mail.
In my case my Original Apple ID comes from a Dial-up account and is linked with iCloud that then gave me an @me.com email address and then later an @iCloud.com one.
I use the Original as the iCloud login in oand in iMessages but use the @me.com name part in Mail ans the Original is still a valid email from the suppliers of the Dial up service.
It was these cross over areas around some IDs/names that I was alluding to with:-
Anything that lists any Account used in Messages such as a Google ID or an AIM Screen Name should be left along for the moment.
Was this why the Mail info was not moved across ?
The iMessages account needs the Serial Number on the Mac to be read and it then creates the Auth token for the account
It will start IDS: the your Apple ID followed by the dash and Auth Token.
These I did suggest to leave in the old Keychain so that restarting Messages and Logging in the iMessages account created a new one.
This is an independent, Application specific password for iMessages not matter where else you use the Apple ID.
It should not matter if the Apple ID in question is your iCloud listed ID, your iTunes one or a Mail one.
Does this have any bearing as to where you are up to ?
I would for the moment create another Mac User Account (System Preferences > Users and Groups)
If your current Mac Login is an Admin account make the new one the same.
Log out and then into the new account and set up the Contacts app (the My card needs a name) and iMessages within Messages.
This should show that the messages app is working or not.
If the App is not working in another Mac User account then the Whole OS needs to be Restored as this is the only way to replace some of the Apple Apps.

What happened to the Finder Window?

Tonight I found that my Finder is not working the way it did the last time I looked. Before, when I clicked on the Finder icon in the dock, the Finder Window would open on the left side of the screen. Now, it opens as a window that looks more like a search windown and is spread across the screen. The folders and files the once were easy to find, as they were in simple hirarcial order, are limited and no longer useful.
I went back and set up the Finder with the files that I want displayed, but that did not change the Finder back to the vertical window on the left side of the screen showing the folders and files I want displayed.
To my knowledge, no software changes were made. I did just put in a new power adaptor cord and a new battery since the original is six years old.
Can anyone tell me how to restore the Finder Window?

To restore the sidebar, click the little lozenge-shaped grey button at the top right of the window.

What happened to the preview window & Bridge icon?

In PSCS6, I don't have a preview window in the "Open" dialog box. In PSCS5, when I clicked on an image file, I had a thumbnail preview. Also, the Bridge icon in the toolbar disappeared, which was visable in PSCS5.
Don

Lost two features, Photoshop has. The Adobe Jedi have waved hands and said, "these are not the features you're looking for".
You can conceivably put a Bridge icon on the desktop near where it used to be, and leave a little room outside of the Photoshop application frame where you can see it, or use the File - Browse In Bridge menu item, or Alt-Control-O (or the Mac equivalent if you're on that system).
If you're on Windows, you could consider getting a codec pack that will provide you thumbnail images right in the dialog and Explorer windows. I can recommend the one that I use: The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack.

What happens if you install Windows 8 work in Boot Camp?

Yes, I know it's not officially supported, but I've seen several references to people installing it anyway - what does and doesn't work? Can anyone explain? Magic Trackpad is allegedly problematic....
Any pointers gratefully.

It's unsupported so the outcome is kinda random, everything may work, nothing may work, or something in between. It's at your risk.

What happens if you install Windows on your Mac partition

I'm curious, is there such a video on youtube that shows this?

Step One: backup
Step Two: read the pdf guide
Installing Windows normally partitions some of your hard drive (unfragmented contiguous free space) which Windows installs on.
There are dozens of links, articles, how to, just type into Bing. I think the ones with screen snapshots and well written tutorial are going to be better.

What happened to the information window?

I can't seem to get an information window that is always open in iCal on Leopard. I Tiger I would leave the info window open, click on the event and see the information. Now I have to double click on the event for a little window to pop up.
Am I missing something or is this the only way to see event info?

myuill,
"boooooooooo!"
I was going to recommend that you submit iCal Feedback, but notice that the most current version of iCal is not listed in the version drop down list. Perhaps it may be beneficial to submit it anyway.

I recently downloaded Parallels 9 to my imac so I could install Windows 7 Home Premium and had no trouble everthing is working fine the only question I have is is there a benefit to migrating the 2 together and what happens when I do Thanks. Ricco

I recently downloaded Parallels 9 to my imack so I could install Windows 7 Home Premiumwith no problem and everthing is working fine, and I was thinking of Migrating the 2 2 and was wondering what benefits there would be and what happens when I do.

Windows 7 will peer down through the VM and remember what hardware the VM is installed on. Migrate the VM to different Mac hardware, and on first boot, Windows 7 will advise you that you are not using genuine Microsoft Windows. It will then treat you as though it believes you misappropriated it.

Give your previous partition layout, you cannot install Windows via Bootcamp, unless you are willing to give up all your extra partitions and go back to EFI, OS X and RecoveryHD only configuration.

1. Windows installer will not work and you will end up with driver issues.
2. No.
3. You cannot, but if you could, the Apple Bootmanager would be your Boot Manager/Loader.
