Win Xp and OS X 10.4

Hi,
I'm very new to Mac, been using it for a week :o)
I have a windows 2000 server running AD and 6 XP Pro PC's.
Using the Macbook Pro I can see the full network and I can log on to each PC by entering the usernames and passwords. I can also add folders shared on the XP PC's. The icon gets added to my Mac desktop and it all works fine. However after a reboot of the Mac all network folder icons are removed from the desktop. I know all I have to do is re-add them but it's a pain. Can I change it so the folders stay mapped? O have been looking a Appletalk but I also know that XP does not run Appletalk.
Can someone point me in the right way.
Thanks
Luke

I know what AD means, I just don't understand what you want.
If you want to bind the Mac to a Windows 2000 Server you will need to use Directory Access (/Applications/Utilities/Directory Access) and then enable Active Directory in the services list. After that press the Configure… button, enter the server's info and press Bind… I have never done this (although I will be doing it soon because my school has a Windows 2003 Server and I want to use my MacBook in my classes) so, if someone that has something to add/change, please do.

What is the difference between Wine, Wineskin, Winery and Wine Bottler, and how do I get Wine to *ACTUALLY* work in Mountain Lion?

Ok, so this is my first post here and I am admittedly terrible at forums. Someone might say, "This was addressed in the ___________ thread by __________! Go read it!" --- that may be so but I've spent enough hours trying to google this problem into submission to no avail based on what is apparently working for others, so I would like a chance to get specific answers to specific questions that aren't from Mar 2011, etc.
So first of all, I'm confused by all the various Wine programs/apps/whatevers. I've seen Wine, Wineskin, Winery, Wine Bottler, and at this point I wouldn't be surprised if there are even more than that. What's the difference between all of these and how do they work with one another? What do I actually need to get windows programs working?
All of my google searches have led me to people giving out fish, but no one giving out fishing lessons. I'm not a pro at mac and windows and all that, but I'm a fairly bright individual who gets VERY frustrated, very quickly, when I don't understand the why and how of something I'm attempting.
I've also found "answers" where the person attempting to help starts off helpful enough, but degrades into the most archaic of techno-babble after about 5-6 sentences. On the other hand, I've watched tutorials on youtube where the poster decides to skip (apparently crucial) sections of the tutorial, and mutters such gems as: "... you might wanna have to run Wine first before you can do anything, cuz I think it has to configure it and set up a bunch of stuff"
O.o
A happy medium between techno-babble and the most basic of explanations would be ideal for me, and I'd imagine for others as well.
Here is a summarized history of my relationship with Wine:
Diablo II - I downloaded this awesome thing which ended up being... uh... I guess Diablo II in a Wineskin "wrapper". I'm not sure, all I know is that it's a D2 icon, and if I go to 'show package contents', it's got C drive, Program Files, et cetera inside of it. I double click it, it launches D2, and it works like a dream. <3
'Vanilla Install' - That's what I heard someone call it. It was the command/terminal style install using xquartz and xcode found at http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/. I followed every instruction to the letter, and got all the way to '$ sudo port install wine', at which point it started going smoothly, free from the possible error he described regarding the installation of xcode, and then just failed after I left the room to use the restroom and came back. Please don't ask me to repeat what the error was, because honestly, after reading more things on the interwebs, I'm confused as to why it's even necessary to go through all of that, so I'd rather not try that route again anyways, rendering the error message quite possibly irrelevant.
Wine + Wine Bottler - So I decided to try to seek out an easier method, as I know that one must exist that doesn't involve command lines. I found a video tutorial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0BBkISOcEA, and oh man would it be great if that method had actually worked. Again, I followed all instructions provided to procure my free fish, and at the point in the video where he declares that "xquarts or x11 will open" - it doesn't open. Nothing opens. I was trying to install Star Sonata, btw.
So here I am, thoroughly worn out, frustrated at all the random places Wine is installed on my mac now, and just want someone to explain it all, from top down, without getting toooooooo technical on me. I know that might be asking a lot...

## I know that the poster has already found a solution, but the following is a possible answer for others that have similar issues.
For Winebottler, just go to their website and download it. Run the program. Choose .wine as your prefix (best choice) or whatever suits you best. You'll need a functional X11. If you can't use the one that comes with your mac, download the latest one from the website.
If your issue is one with Winebottler's Wine not running correctly due to X11, then you have a pretty ugly problem, although a simple upgrade is the best solution (Upgrade XQuartz.app).
http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/#part-1
The above website is the easiest way to get REAL wine on your computer. First of all, Wineskin WInery, etc. are NOT WINE. They are 3rd party apps that may use Wine or may have originally part of Wine, but they are no longer up to date with Wine. WineBottler is currently up to date with the stable releases of Wine (but not the maintenence releases).
For the website tutorial and to run Wine on your mac without using a thrid party app, you will need to know a few things.
First, you will need to know basic control of the command line. That means, sudo (you must know the administrator password to your computer), and the forms of cd (change directory).
Second, you will need Xcode. Download 4.2 (stable) or whatever other versions you want, but beware: It is over 1 GB, and you will need time for it to work.
Third, you will need to get MacPorts and configure it. The tutorial should have this data.
When you download wine (use sudo port install wine-devel for the latest development release of wine), it will first download a lot of dependencies. This will take a while. After that, it will download wine itself.
After obtaining wine, to run a program, open the terminal.app window.
cd desktop/XYZ/ZYZ\ WRQ
The above will first enter the desktop, then folder XYZ, then folder ZYZ WRQ. From here,
wine th11e.exe
Or whatever executable you are trying to open. (Using Subterranean Animism as my example).
It should, in theory, run the program. Watch the terminal for errors. If there is an X11 problem, then it's not wine acting up. If the app crashes or has other issues, check the Wine Application Database to see if your app is compatible with wine.
If you have any further questions or other things, feel free to reply; I may or may not get back to you, but there's a good chance that someone will come in eventually. Otherwise, the Wine Wiki should have some information.

Smartview 11.1.2.1 on Win 7 and Office 2010 32bit

I installed 11.1.2.1 smartview on Win 7 and Office 2010 32 bit. The installation was successful but when I try to open Excel or Outlook I get the error that office encountered a serious problem with the add-in and disables the add-in to proceed. Any suggestions to make this work?
Thank you.

Yes in Window 7 and on Vista when installing you have to run as an administrator or disable UAC. Once installed you do not need to run as an administrator. On these new OS's even though you have admin right by default you do not run anything as an admin, this is a good thing but you have to be aware of it. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709691(WS.10).aspx#BKMK_WhatIs
Glad it is working!

OfficeJet 4315 no longer works after Win 7 and Office 2010 service packs applied

I've used OfficeJet 4315 on a Toshiba Satellite with WinXP (SP3) and Office 2003 and been delighted with the printer. I recently migrated to a brand-new Acer Aspire with Win 7 and Office 2010 (home & student ed.) At first, the 4315 worked well--in fact, all I had to do was plug in the USB connection and the in-OS drivers installed automatically. However, something has now caused the printer too be essentially useless! I think it happened after I applied SP1 to Win 7 and/or the service pack to Office 2010. I can no longer print Word files (.doc or .docx), Excel spread sheets (.xls or .xlsx), PDFs, Web pages, or even e-mails, The only things I can print are .txt files or equivalent and .jpg files or equivalent. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the printer (including deleting the drivers and reloading them from Windows Update). I don't believe I should have to replace a perfectly good printer just to support Windows 7 and Office 2010. I NEED HELP URGENTLY with this problem! If anyone has any knowledge or ideas, I'd be forever in your debt. (HP, I'd even pay to get the help I need on this one!!) TIA.

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the PDF files cannot be checked out to local drafts folder after Office 2013 is installed.
Did this issue occur with Office files?
I recommend to check if the Office files can be checked out to local drafts folder with Office 2013.
And it is recommended to use Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 for best practice.
Thanks,
Victoria

How to remove win 8 and install win 7 in bootcamp

I want to completely remove win 8 and install win 7 in bootcamp. I followed the steps in bootcamp assistant and it appears to remove the win 8 partition. However when starting a new win 7 bootcamp partition and installation setup still thinks win 8 is being used. how do I get it to recognize the win 7 now being installed from the usb drive? This is on an iMac 27 late 2012 with OS x 10.10.1

Hi Janesdf,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are looking for Windows downgrade on your Ideapad N580.
Before doing any changes in the system HDD partition or with Windows OS, I suggest you to create the system recovery media and then you can downgrade the OS. But you require Windows 7 recovery media.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

ITunes will not open my music CDs when I place them in the DVD drive. I am using Win 7 and latest download of iTunes. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with AV software turned off. No luck. Cannot upload my music CDs to iTunes library. Any ideas?

Using Win 7 and latest download of iTunes, the software will not recognize my music CDs when inserted in my DVD drive. I put a CD in the drive and nothing happens. iTunes does not have a "start" button, or some menu option to tell it to begin copying music to the library, so it just sits there. When I first installed iTunes, it would open the CDs, but I would get an error message after the first track started to transfer. Now, after a coupel uninstalls, disc cleanup, etc., nothing happens when I insert the CD. I am lost here and about to sell my new Ipod Classic because it is useless to me. Maybe I'm just too old to own something like this? Any (serious) suggestions would be appreciated.

In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
Error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
Can anyone please help?

For me, Firefox 4.0.1 is slooooow to download pages. IE 8 is much faster. I have Win 7 and Avast. I just uninstalled Firefox. Thanks.

For me, Firefox 4.0.1 is slooooow to download pages on all web sites. IE 8 is much, much faster. I have Win 7 and Avast. I just uninstalled Firefox. Thanks.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Dual booting win 7 and arch: cannot install grub to partition

I have read the arch wiki page on dual booting and several other sources on line, but I am still struggling to get this to work.
I am trying to dual boot arch and windows 7 on my lenovo ideapad s205. the machine comes with windows 7 pre-installed.
I shrank the win 7 partition and added an extended partition with 3 logical partions for /boot, swap, and /.
I am able to install and run arch by installing grub to the mbr. when I do this, though, I cannot boot windows. (the windows section of grub menu.lst is uncommented and points toward hda0,0. I have tried hda 0,1 as well).
I have also tried to use the windows boot loader to load arch, as described in the arch wiki page on dual booting. The problem here is that, taking this approach, I should install grub to my /boot partition, but when I try to do this, the installer only allows me to install grub to sda or sdb (the usb stick).
I have read that grub should be able to boot linux from a logical partition. Is this so?
Is there something wrong with the arch installer that it is not giving me the option of installing to a partition rather than the mbr, or is this a problem with my partition scheme, or something else?
I am tempted to remove lenovo's recovery system, but on the other hand, I have already needed to use it several times while monkeying around with installing arch.
Thanks for any help.
UPDATE:
I now have the laptop dual-booting win 7 and arch. My solution ( adapted from here: http://helms-deep.cable.nu/~rwh/blog/?p=177) was to:
1. installed arch on the partitions I had created for it, but skipped the "install bootloader" stage.
2. in win 7, I downloaded and installed EasyBCD and made an entry for arch in it. I checked the option to "Use EasyBCD's copy of GRUB"
3. When I restarted, I got a grub error because the entry in grub's menu.lst was pointing at the wrong partitions for the kernel and root.
4. So I went back into the arch live disk, mounted the boot partition and edited menu.lst.
Now when I start the laptop, the windows boot loader starts and I can choose between win 7 and arch. when I select arch, grub4dos starts and gives me the option to start arch. this is not particularly elegant (nor is it fast), so I think this solution is less than ideal, but it does work.
I'd be interestd in any thoughts about what went wrong and what a better solution would be.
thanks.

Is this a typo in your post or how it was in menu.lst? Surely it should be hd0,0 and not hda0,0? The entry I have in my menu.lst is as follows:
# (2) Windows
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
What was yours?

Win 7 and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

I have a user with win 7 and adobe acrobat 8 pro and in the digital signature on the PDF, it has a question mark and a pick of a person over it on the left hand side. I have reimaged the machine, recreated the signature, same thing. Logged onto his computer as me, so a different profile, and it does the same thing. Emailed it to me on my computer and it works fine. No pics on the signature line. Anybody ever seen this?

Win 7 and DW 8

I'm a bit late tot he Win 7 crowd but I like to wait till it is stable and proven.
I just put an SSD and win 7 in my Sony Vaio VGN SZ330p and I think I'll get another 5 years out if it, unless I kill my self first (MS and Adobe may facilitate that)
I use Studio 8 because it works and I'm not going to spend another $800 bucks to get som reworked crap.
I have tried all the different settings for the xp compatibility mode and it still don't wotk right. I have not been able to add the document or standard tool bars. And it crashes randomly.
Whats up. MS and Adobe just want us to spend more money on crapy software??
I guess, I'm just getting old.
Thanks
Dave

Well, I actually got the program to work right and got my tool bars working. Not sure how I did it but it worked just like it should have.
Then, I had a file open that was pretty large and when savine it.............DW crashed. SO I opened it and it seems that XP Mode does not work any more.
I have tried to recreate the steps I took to get the program working but Win & and DW (studio8) do not like each other.
If Adobe did not over price the products Iwould buy a new program.
I have almost $1000 bucks into my studio 8, Win 7 and computer upgrades. I doubt Adobe or MS reall care as there are many fish in the pond.
PS: I used to program and I lef because software company management cares only to make a company look profitable enough to be bought by a bigger software company. Stock valuation is important.
Pleae tell someone who cares at MS and Adobe that I am unhappy. I have tried and recieve no responses.
I will probably have to go back to linux which is where I should have stayed.

Win 7 and HP DesignJet 2500CP Printer

Hi all.
I just installed Win 7. Everything on my PC is working well except the DesignJet 2500CP.
And I tried Win XP and Vista driver (on the HP Support & Driver downloaded). It doesn't work...
Please help me... I have lot of design have to print in this week... please.
Thanks for reading...

I've actually figured out a way around this!
This works for Windows 7 32/64 bit and Vista 32/64 bit.
If you install a new printer via the control panel and select a driver from the printer driver list included with Windows (an update may be required), install the driver for the Designjet 1050C by HP.
This allows you to print perfectly on a Designjet 2500 on new operating systems as it has the same printing dimensions and printing process. The computer will list you as having a 1050C and not a 2500, but it doesn't really matter as long as it works.
This took me a while to get right as I went through all the HP plotter drivers in an attempt to get my 2500 to work.
So in short, you don't need the 2500 driver, just install the driver for the 1050C (which is a much new printer and still supported) and it will work perfectly. Hope this helps.

How to undo Firefox 5 in Win 7 and in XP? Generally, how to stop automatic Firefox updates?

Firefox 5 has reduced toolbar and other services on both of my 2 computers -- a Win 7 and an XP3. Would like to go back to version 4, stop automatic updates in Firefox.

That is a message about '''IE''', not about Firefox. The Mozilla/4.0 in your UserAgent string and in that message pertains to Trident rendering engine in Internet Explorer.
