Windows 7 beta: can't make hdd icon disappear while in OSX

When using OSX now, on the desktop there is now the hdd icon that includes all the windows 7 files. When I go to finder prefs and uncheck Show hard disks the hdd icon containing the windows 7 files still remains. In order to remove the icon I have to uncheck the finder Pref Show CDs,DVDs and iPods. Don't really want to do that since those things won't appear on the desktop when connected. Any ideas why the hdd icon is being recognized by OSX as a CD, DVD or ipod in the finder prefes?

Hi lenn,
easiest way to not show the Windows Icon while in OSX is to boot into Windows and use the Explorer to rename your Windows partition (the c:) to something starting with a . (point).
That usually prevents the Windows Icon to be shown on your OSX.
Regards
Stefan

- Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try syncing the iPod to your computer. Then delete from iTunes and sync. that should delete it from the iPod. Then redownload it.

Usually the default program associated with an image file extension is an image developing Program like Lightroom or an image editing program like Photoshop. If you want to change the default associated program to Adobe Bridge you would use Window's Controls Panel file association applet.

Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox/Tools > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

How can I make a "Keyboard Lock" while iTunes is playing?

How can I make a "Keyboard Lock" while iTunes or other apps are playing? They should work/play on, screen should still be on, only keyboard is (maybe Password-) locked.
Thanx in adv, tttimo

Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts Application Shortcuts > + > Application: Browse to Pages > Menu Title: Footnote > Keyboard Shortcut: hit combination of keys > Add
You will need to restart Pages but should then see it next to your Menu item.

IPod Nano 6th charging icon disappears while still plugged in

My iPod's charging icon disappears while it's still plugged in to my PC, as soon as I "eject" the iPod from Windows. So, to be as clear as I can (sorry for the repitition if you got it the first time - I just like to be sure): even though I have selected (either from iTunes or just via Windows itself) to "eject" a.k.a. "safely remove" my iPod from my computer, it is still plugged in to the USB port. The "Connected" screen is replaced with the menu, which is normal, but what I'm asking about is this: the battery icon in the top-right corner appears as though I have unplugged the device completely; the "charging/fully charged" indicator that I usually see when it's physically connected is missing.
So, my question is, is this normal? Could it be a bug in the iPod, or perhaps a bug in Windows 7? More impiortantly (to me), does the absence of a charging indicator mean that the iPod is actually no longer charging, even though it's still plugged into a powered USB port it was charging from only a minute before? I know my iPod never used to do this...
- Technical Info -
iPod: 6th-generation Nano (1.2 PC)
iTunes: 10.6.3.25
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium, updated daily

hi thanks for the reply.
yeah i noticed that although it shows 'charged', it restores a tiny bit of residual charge to the battery, maybe 5-10% after being plugged in for 3+ hours. mine happens always however.
i've sent it back to apple and am awaiting a replacement (6-7 working days apparently) under warranty. hopefully the new one wont have this problem.
cheers,

How can I make an icon that links to a webpage that works with Mac and Windows??

Hi!
I burn CDs with my photos and send them to clients. Besides the photos folder, I would like to include a file (similar to the .webloc files on the Mac Desktop) that can be clicked and it will be linked to my website - it will open up a browser window and go to my website . Is it posssible to make one of these icons that works with both Macs and Windows machines? Thanks!

Now it works! Thanks, Denico!
The reason I saved to text: The first time I followed your instructions, it did not work. I tried to figure out what I did wrong and saw that you wrote to "save as plain text." I did not know what this means and there was no option available to save a plain text. So I looked around and saw "save as stationery" and I guessed that maybe that was what you meant. And after that, it worked! But the next thing you know, the icons started duplicating themselves.
I guess I had made a different mistake in the beginning and I fixed it without knowing what it is.
Thanks for clearing that up.
But just one question. WHY does saving as "stationery" make an icon duplicate itself?

Windows 7 beta can't authenticate to Tiger Server PDC

Greetings,
Currently our Windows XP Professional clients authenticate to Tiger Server running as a Windows Primary Domain Controller without issue. I'm testing Windows 7 beta (having skipped Vista) and when I try to join the client to the Windows domain I am told that my domain can't be found (this is after inputing my domain administrator credentials to Windows 7).
Can anyone enlighted me as to why this might be failing?
Cheers,
Damon

I've tried relaxing a bunch of security-related settings according to this:
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2009-February/063187.html
The various registry and policy changes are near the bottom of the message. Unfortunately, it still fails with the same message, though.
It's probably a good idea to use the "Send feedback" app in Windows 7 beta to let them know.

Can't airplay movies - icon disappears when movie starts in iTunes

Hi guys. Had this problem for a little while now. I'm running iTunes 11.4 on Windows 8.1 and an Apple TV in another room. I've had no problems until recently. Anything but movies will play perfectly to the Apple TV. But the second I start a movie, the icon disappears, and iTunes starts acting like there's suddenly no Apple TV. Then when I exit the movie the icon reappears as quick as it went. Even for example I would go from streaming music perfectly, straight into playing a movie. Still the same. No amount of restarts or re-installations on both devices has solved the problem yet.

iTunes prefs > Store.
Tick Show iTunes in the cloud Purchases.

Forget the Alpha mask idea. I'm home now and it is a total non starter in this case. But try some of these if you want to learn the technique

Can i make my 2011 iMac 21.5" OSX 10.8.5 behave as a wireless computer?

Thanks for your help.
First of all you need ot find out if your landlord allows you to connect to their network. Is it part of your rental agreement? Do you need a password? Do you need to pay extra for access? Do you need a password from them? As another poster points out your iMac has Wi-Fi built in. All you need to do is turn it on. Open System Preferences -> Network -> Wi-Fi and turn it on. Your apartment's wireless network should appear if it exists. If you need a password to connect you willget that from your aprtment manager IF it's incuded in your rent.
Somehow, though, I get the impression we're not talking about the same thing. Are you moving in with someone who already has the Internet and you want to use their wireless network?

Can I make an awkwardly sized while loop

So I ended up writing my code looking like this (see screenshot attached) and I want to add the upper right part into the while loop on the left.
Is there a way to just make an awkwardly shaped while loop (which in this case would look like a lowercase R)?
Thanks
Solved!

No and if NI implemented as much they would probably have to file for a new patent since the old one mentions its shape (I think).

Many thanks in advance

No. Sorry Apple have not allowed this but you can go to settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom if you have trouble reading them.

I can't install windows 8.1 - can't find hdd drive

Hello,
I am trying to install Windows 8.1 also I have tryied windows 7. I put my USB stick and I used the Bootcamp installation. Everything was copied+latest drivers, created bootcamp partition with bootcamp assistant. After that Mac restarted and booted into the windows installation. I run install process and it says something like: "Any drives were not found." So in this stage my install journy ends. Because I don't know how to create an installation usb stick. If I going back and check Disk Utility, the Bootcamp partition is there. So I don't understand why the installation can't find any partitions.
Funny is if I try to find some drivers I can browse for them and I see the the HD-partition and folder like an Users, documents, Program Files.....
My SSD is Crucial M4 256GB with latest firmware and used Mavericks by fresh installation.
I will be happy for any usefull suggestion.
Thank you very much.

The .exe is a Download Manager. You need to run it on a Windows machine and download a USB and/or ISO file.

How can I make iTunes icons smaller?

Using my mini with a full-size monitor, when I open iTunes and try to look at my music library via "album," I get gigantic icons of albums. this takes up way too much room on the screen. Changing it is evidently done by a preference somewhere, but neither the system preferences (in Finder) nor the iTunes preferences seem to take up this matter. Thank you.

Hi, I've never found a way to do it, best I can do is use View>List instead of Grid or Coverflow.
