Windows 8 on T410 so far.......

So far so good.
I couldn't upgrade from my W7 install so I saved all my important stuff and did a clean install on SSD. Also grab the Lenovo System Update utility, let that run, download any W8 updates, and then check out and install any drivers manually to gain some other functionality. You'll notice that there may be W8 drivers in the list.
The only thing that wont work is the Bluetooth and some of the Fn keys. That aside I'm using my computer as I would do normally.
The gestures work too. There's 3 you might not realize initially........
What you need to do is swipe from the palmrest onto the trackpad. The Top, Left, and Right side swipes will activate some useful functions.

For those interested, here's a DPC Latency report for Windows 8.
I instantly thought this was incorrect and further research seems to prove that this program isn't reporting correct latency values in Windows 8 and the developer is working on a new version.
Subsequently I think it's out by 1mS.......... I've ran a few audio projects in Reason 5 and REAPER and it's very stable.

Windows 7 on a year old R500- My Experience so far

I have an R500 with 2GB of Ram, 2.3 GHZ Centrino 2 processor, that game preloaded with Windows Vista, yesterday I upgraded to Windows 7.
So far I have had some mixed issues. The only bad things that have happened was Windows did freeze while I was messing with the personalization the desktop, color of windows and such. This was the first time I had logged into Windows 7.
Positive things, its defintely faster. Faster startup, shutdown. I especially noticed the faster hibernate and awake from hibernate times, which with Vista were annoying long. The new features I've used are nice too. Defintely taking a page from Mac, but not expliciting copying them either. Giving us some of the features that make things easier, but keeping the PC feel to it.
So far I am happy, as long as I dont have anymore need to force a restart.

Hey DionysusPL,
That's a really good idea. I mean, of course it requires opening up the casing which probably voids the warranty, and without actually looking inside I can only guess that the form factor won't make it easy to move things around in there. But
presumably the hard drive in a Surface Pro breaks occasionally and needs to be replaced, so it can't be too hard to swap it out if the tech support people can do it. The worst case scenario is that it requires a special tool (like a star-shaped bit) to disassemble.
But yeah, if one buys a 512GB HDD of the same size, installs Win7 while it's in a different system, then puts it in the SP2, then that seems like it SHOULD work. Except that it begs the question of why I couldn't just format the drive that's already
inside the SP2 with an USB drive installer and install a new OS that way? Or take out the HDD in there, format it, install Win7, and put it back in. The BIOS is saved on the motherboard, not the hard drive, so replacing the HDD won't change the
non-legacy-VGA-supporting BIOS of the Surface Pro 2. One still needs to worry about compatibility of the OS and BIOS of the new hard drive with the motherboard and other components of the SP.
You said "I know for a fact it would work", which implies that you have done it or have seen the result of it being done. Is that really true. Or do you really just think in theory that it should work (but you are really confident)? There
is a big difference. The BIOS seems unaffected by swapping the hard drives in the way you describe, and the BIOS is the problem, so the only way to know "for a fact" that it works is to do it and see that it works. Have you done that? Is
there some link you can share showing this? I'd love to know that this was a real thing, I'd even consider buying a used Surface Pro 2 to try it out on. But there'd have to be a way to fix/change the BIOS in addition to swapping the hard drives...or
so it seems to me.

Windows 7 professional--Can I install Adobe Acrobat 8 for XP

I have a new T410 with windows 7. My copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 only works, Adobe says, wiht XP and Vista. Can Adobe 8 be installed on Windows 7?

As far as i know only version 9 or newer support Windows 7 so if you ask Adobe they will probably just tell you to upgrade Acrobat to version 9. I would recommend to upgrade Acrobat to version 9.x that support Windows 7. If you don't want to upgrade and prefer to try Acrobat 8 with Windows 7 which is not supported i guess it's on your own risk. I tried to google and found that several people claim it's working fine while some others had some problems. I didn't really read all the details though.
If you got a license for Acrobat 8 i assume that all 8.x updates are free? In that case you could give it a try and update to the latest 8.x which i believe is 8.2.3. If it's working that's fine and if not i guess there will be no support from Adobe and then you have to do some searching for a solution. It should be easy to find others that tried the same thing so probably a lot of suggestions in case of problems.
Like i said it's on your own risk so hard to recommend that you try in case something should go wrong, but i'm guessing that worst case would be that it's not working and Acrobat can be uninstalled without any corruption to your system.

External HDD to be shared with Mac and Windows XP

I wish to share an external HDD via firewire/USB between an ibook G4 on OSX 10.3.9 and Windows XP. Apart from using FAT32 and having partitions for each OS just in case can anyone share any risks considerations I need to be aware of? I intend on having a generic 320Gb Seagate drive installed into an aluminium box but for some reason Lacie seem to be particularly good with Mac's and I can't ascertain why.
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) Acer Windows XP

There appears to be some misunderstanding about what systems can read or write what hard drives.
OS X can read and write HPS+ and FAT32 formatted drives, and can read, but not write to NTFS drives. Windows can read and write NTFS and FAT32 drives, and cannot read nor write HPS+ drives. Fresh out of the box the only read/write file sharing is via FAT32 drives.
There are reasonable methods for expanding this capability.
(1) Windows can be given the ability to read and write HPS+ drives by installing MacDrive 6 on the Windows machine. As far as I know there is no software available which gives OS X the ability to read and write NTFS drives - - maybe it exists or is under develpment somewhere.
(2) Both OSX and Windows can read/write files that are on a networked file server regardless of the file system used by that file server. The server hides its underlying file system from clients. Just connecting a network capable HDD to a router is NOT the same thing as having a file server on the network - - the same basic file limitations still exist.

Windows 7 won't allow me access to some of my files and folders

I installed a new copy of Windows 7 Professional SP1 on a new PC several months ago. I then restored my documents from a backup made on my old XP system. Ever since installation, I have had problems with Windows denying me access to some of my files
and folders. I have full administrative rights on the machine. The various problems I've had, and steps I've taken to resolve them are:
1. Try to open a file and get a message telling me I need permission from Steve to open this file. I am Steve.
2.Try to open a file and get a message telling me I don't have permission to open it, but click this button to get permanent permission. I click the button, but still don't have permission.
3. I then started opening the security settings for individual files and setting myself to have full access, and as the owner. This worked for individual files.
4. I then tried setting the same security settings for entire folders. This didn't work and didn't improve anything.
5. I tried setting the security settings so that Administrators owned the files/folders (I am an administrator). This also didn't achieve anything.
6. After several months and still getting these messages, I got sick of trying to overcome them and decided to apply these security settings to my entire C: drive. I set myself to have full access and to be the owner of the C: root directory and all sub-objects.
7. I inserted my Windows installation disk and tried to run the System Repair. It told me that System Repair was not compatible with the version of Windows I was running! WTF???
Not only did setting permissions for the entire C: drive not help me, it has made matters a WHOLE lot worse. I now don't have permission to open almost all my files/folders. Most applications I try to run (Word, Excel, etc.) either tell me they can't open
a file or let me open and edit it, then tell me I don't have permission to save to that location. When I press the Send/Receive button in Outlook, it now tells me I don't have permission to perform that action. I've tried going back to a restore point before
I made this change, but that didn't change anything either.
This problem has been driving me insane for months and now my PC is almost completely unusable and I'm considering a disk format and re-install Windows. When I initially installed it, so many problems came up in the first few weeks that I'm very reluctant
to go through this procedure again. I spent hours and hours trawling the web looking for solutions to things that didn't work.
Does anyone have any good news for me? Because as far as I'm concerned, Windows 7 is so far a piece of garbage.

Hi Steve1904,
So you have use the backup and Restore to restore your files from Windows XP to Windows 7 directly?
This should be considered not work.
If you would like to transfer files between Windows XP and Windows 7, you need another tool called Windows Easy Transfer.
See the article below if you would like to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7:
Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7
If possible, follow the steps there, then things should be OK.

Safari 4.0 Beta always crashing on Windows XP...

I had a Windows XP partition (which ended up getting very bad malware, so I deleted it and started a new one) on my MBP, and Safari 4.0 Beta always crashed on it (this was before the malware infection). Now, jump to my new Windows XP partition: so far, Safari 4.0 crashed only once in the few hours I had it (I'm expecting it to probably crash again very soon). Is there any known bug(s) with Safari 4.0 Beta to cause it to crash this often? Am I better off downgrading to 3.x?

So I'm assuming, then, that there are some bugs that need working out with Safari 4.0 Beta for Windows. After all, I've used Safari 4.0 Beta for Mac ever since it was released and I never had it crash once. I guess, if Safari keeps randomly crashing on me in Windows, I'll have to temporarily downgrade to 3.x until they fix this issue with a finalized 4.0...

Tutorial - How to triple boot OSX, Linux and Windows 8.1 with a shared Data Partition without any third party Win / OSX softwares

This is not a question, but rather a personal guide that has proved to be running successfully.
I would like to thank numerous sources, including Christopher Murphy's suggestions at:
Re: Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition
Before proceeding, there are certain concepts needs to know:
Why Boot Camp does NOT allow further partitioning of drives after Windows has installed?
Answer: Because the way Apple configures the Mac to be recognized as non UEFI capable system on Windows.
Quote from Christopher Murphy based on the above line:
However, Windows on Macs right now use CSM-BIOS mode in Mac firmware that presents BIOS to Windows rather than EFI. Windows thinks it's on a BIOS computer, and therefore mandates the use of MBR for boot disks, rather than GPT. So that's why we have this hybrid MBR+GPT approach on Mac with Windows on it. You inherit the limitations of MBR, which is four primary partitions.
So what does it means?
It means that OSX + EFI + Recovery HD + Boot Camp partition = 4 primary partitions and thus any attempt to modify the disk will render booting issues of either system.
For more info on GPT (GUID Partition Table disks VS Master Boot Record or MBR in short, you may visit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn640535%28v=vs.85%29.a spx)
So, how to overcome it?
The general guideline is to install ALL GPT ready OS first then create a Data partition, before installing Windows (Which is again, NOT supported GPT due to EFI configuration by Apple where end-users are not able to modify it).
Interestingly, since Mac Pro 2013 Late supports only Windows 8 and above, thus it is not known if this CSM-BIOS applies to it or not.
Do take note that GPT disks in Windows can only be booted when the system meets the 2 requirements:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn640535%28v=vs.85%29.a spx#gpt_faq_win7_boot
1) Windows x64 version (Which is a must for newer Macs. If you cannot go to Boot Camp 5, then you need Windows 7 x86 or 32bit version)
2) UEFI system. However, Windows sees all Macs (With the possibility of Mac Pro 2013 Late is an exception. To be determined) as BIOS, or rather NON-UEFI system.
In short, booting on GPT disks is not possible for Mac in Windows.
Summary,
It is tested that a combination of the following will not work:
- OSX + Windows + Linux
- Windows + OSX + Linux
- Windows + Linux + OSX
Usually it can create the system un-bootable or OSX refused to install due to the system does not recognize such partitions and / or Disk Utility refused to format a free space. An example screen-shot is provided below:
The error message is shown as
Title: "Failed to erase volume" Message: "Failed to wipe volume, as an error occurred: MediaKit has reported that the device does not have enough free space to execute the requested operations."
The second thing is about the preparations we need.
1) 1X Windows 7 or 8 DVD or USB thumbdrive
1A) If you uses a DVD to install, you will need another thumbdrive to load the BootCamp drivers for Windows as well as may requires an external DVD drive for newer Macs
2) 1X Linux DVD of your choice. Personally I choose Fedora 20.
So ready? Let's go.
1. Using Disk Utility, shrink the OSX's partition size to what is needed. For me, I give OSX 150GB. Do NOT create any new partition.
Disk Utility should see something like below whereby only OSX partition is left with desired disk space. The remaining space are to be unused disk space for the moment.
Note: Click on the top most item that should start with the size of your HDD / SSD. Then clicked on "Partition" and specify the desired OSX size. Hit "Apply" after that.
2: Download Boot Camp drivers only via Boot Camp Assistant. The USB thumbdrive shall be used later after Linux's installation.
Boot Camp Assistant should see this:
I have only selected "Download latest Windows Support Files from Apple"
3. Insert Linux DVD, reboot Mac into EFI mode (The left most first "EFI mode").
Note 1: Before rebooting, please plugged in an Ethernet adapter because Wi-Fi drivers is not installed.
Note 2: For Thunderbolt adapters, it must be plugged in before reboot as hot-swapping is not supported under Linux. More on the tips at the end of this article.
Note 3: Press and hold "Option" after the screen turns black. Release Option key after you see the image as below:

For the unfortunate part that did not make it on time to edit the images:
9. Install the Windows Support software from your CD/USB drive to gain full functionality of your computer. Reboot and go to Windows again.
Note 1: You may choose to eject disc at this point of time. For Apple SuperDrive users, you will need to wait until the drivers (i.e. Boot Camp support files) is installed and rebooted before ejecting is reasonably possible (As I failed to figured out how to right click without the drivers)
Note 2: Unlike Windows 7 on KBase article TS4599 Keyboard/trackpad inoperative, black screen, or alert messages when installing Windows 7, USB stick can be plugged in after the Windows installation is done. This is because Windows 7 (And probably Windows 7 with SP1 DVD) does not have a built in USB 3 drivers when it was released back in 2009 where USB3 has not arrived then.
Note 3: Due to TPM, Bitlocker is not supported without the use of thumbdrives.
10. Using Disk Management to determine the given drive letter for the DATA partition (DO NOT DELETE and RECREATE partition or else you can goodbye to booting Linux and OSX). Disk Management will not allow you to format it as exFAT / FAT32 in graphical way.
Note: You may remove or modify some of the disk letters in Disk Management. However, do NOT remove / modfify the drive letter for the partition with 200MB size in HFS. This is because it will disallow booting of Linux and neither could Windows nor OSX can do anything EXCEPT to reinstall Linux only.
11. Open Command Prompt in Administrator Mode (Important!!), and key in the following command:
format F: /FS:exFAT
Give this volume a label after it has successfully formatted before hitting "Enter" again.
Note: Mine Data partition was assigned as F drive. Please make necessary adjustment to "F:" should your Data partition is assigned to other letters.
12. After that, Setup your Data partition structure as you like.
Tip: Minimally create the important folders such as:
- Music
- Documents
- Movie (Videos)
- Downloads
- Pictures
All these folders are commonly used by the 3 OSes. I do NOT recommend changing of /home (OSX and / or Linux) and / or user home directory (Windows) either partially or as a whole.
This is because of compatibility issue.
On a side note, iTunes Media Library used in OSX and Windows are NOT able to be use interchangably due to hard-coded path used.
13. Useful troubleshooting in Fedora / Linux:
With references to these:
http://chaidarun.com/fedora-mbp
http://anderson.the-silvas.com/2014/02/14/fedora-20-on-a-macbook-pro-13-late-201 3-retina-display/
http://unencumberedbyfacts.com/2013/08/16/linux-on-a-macbook-pro-101/
I would like to highlight a few important points:
1) Wi-Fi driver:
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
Note 1: The sound driver should be installed at Out of Box Experience. However, the Wi-Fi is not.
Note 2: Install both free and non-free repository. By the way, some other software like VLC can only be found after the Free Repository is installed.
Search for "akmod-wl" in Gnome-Package-Installer in order to install Wi-Fi drivers
Note 3: For those who do not have Ethernet adapters and their Mac does NOT have a built-in Ethernet port, it is recommended to get one. This is because Fedora 20 does not have a good support for iPhone USB tethering. Unsure for Andriod / Blackberry / Windows Phone users.
2) Grub Menu:
It will show several options to boot into OSX, even of the capability to boot into x86 or x64 mode. However, neither of them is bootable except Linux and the rescue.
Hence, it is recommended to remove the items by hand in this file:
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
Command to be used:
"sudo gedit /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg"
Parts to be removed:
- For any extra kernels, delete the target entry by locating the line "menuentry" under "/etc/grub.d/10_linux" sector to one line above the next "menuentry".
It is recommended to keep one main kernel, and one recovery at the minimal.
- For other OS, delete all the entry (Since neither it can works) under "/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober" sector without removing the lines starts with ###.
Auto Mount exFAT partition:
- After installing extra packages for exFAT support (Since it is not supported by Fedora 20 from a default installation), you may wish to edit "/etc/fstab" in order to mount the exFAT partition during boot time.
Command to be used:
"sudo gedit /etc/fstab"
Add the following line in gedit:
UUID=702D-912D /run/media/Samuel/DATA exfat defaults 1 2
Note 1: For DATA partition, OSX & Boot Camp partition, Fedora defaults mounts under: "/run/medua/<Username with case sensitive>/<Partition Label Name>"
Note 2: UUID is unique ID. You can find out the UUID by:
Step 1: First determine the DATA partition number:
"sudo gdisk /dev/sda"
Step 2: Determine the UUID of this partition number:
"sudo blkid /dev/sda8"
Reference 1: http://manpages.courier-mta.org/htmlman5/fstab.5.html
Reference 2: http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/short-tip-get-uuid-of-hard-disks/
3) Overheating CPU
Solution is to issue the following command in Linux terminal: su -c "echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo"
4) System resumes immediately after suspend
Solution is to issue the following command in Linux terminal: su -c "echo XHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup"
5) What does not works well out of box:
- Both GNOME and KDE's fonts are too small to be readable for out of box experience. Additional configuration is a need. (Some of the info can be found on "More Tips" later)
- Thunderbolt hotplugging is NOT supported under Windows and Linux so far. Neither FaceTime HD camera works as well.
- The red light in Headphone jack is always on. I do not have luck in switching off the light without losing the sound.
Note 1: It is determined that the module "snd_hda_intel" is used by both cards (HDMI and normal output)
Note 2: It is also known that blacklisting it can switch off the redlight at the price of muting the system.
Note: Based on this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1574
A Mac (Except Mac Pro) needs servicing when there is a red light while the system fails to detect internal speakers. However, this article does NOT applies to this issue.
5A) More Tips:
Install gnome-tweak-tool for more customization
Search for: "gnome-package" to install:
Install Gnome Package Installer for advanced package repository
Install Gnome Package Updater for advanced updates to be install (Whereby Fedora's App Store alike might not show the relevant updates)
14. Verify if disk is still GPT:
Use Gdisk to determine if the disk is pure GPT:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742682
Command: sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda (The entire hard drive)
You should see the MBR is "Protective" instead of anything else.
15. Congrats, the system is ready for triple boot. (I forgot to eject my Windows DVD when the photo was taken)
Note 1: You cannot set the default startup disk in Linux due to the lack of Boot Camp Control Panel in Linux.
Neither is changing startup disk recommended in Windows due to the inability to display correctly.
For me, I click "Cancel" whenever I am on this tab (Feel free to make other Boot Camp adjustments in other tabs).
Only OSX I know that can show the startup disk options correctly.
Note 2: For some reason, OSX likes to auto mount the EFI partition everytime it boots up. It is not known to have any issue for ejecting other disks or mounting disks via Disk Utility.
Note 3: It is not determined if any Firmware or System upgrades will cause issues. It is only known that all 3 OS's regular updates should not be an issue.
System Updates excludes Mac OSX 10.9.3 updates to OSX 10.9.4 type as I had done it on a OSX 10.9.4 Mac or Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Update 1 since my Windows DVD comes with Update 1.
System Upgrades refers to OSX Mavericks to Yosemite, Fedora 20 to Fedora 21, Windows 8.1 Update 1 to Windows 8.2 / Windows 9 for that matter.
Note 4: Reset SMC and / or PRAM will NOT affect your ability to boot any of the OS (OSX, Recovery HD, Fedora & Windows 8)
Yup, that is it!

How to choose witch window will open external links when using multiple Firefox profiles at the same time?

I am using 2 firefox profiles at the same, one for working and another for reading news. I start them with "firefox -no-remote -P profilename", so there are 2 firefox processes running.
It works well, but when I click a link in an external app (like in Google Talk), the link is opened in the first firefox process I launched. I mean, if I ran the "news" firefox first, it will always open the external links.
Is it possible to change this behavior? I'd like all external windows to be opened in the "news" firefox, never in the "working". Of course I'll achieve that if I open it first, but if I first run the "news", then the "working", then I close the news for any reason, now links will always open in the "working" until I close it.
I running linux (opensuse 11.3).

'''traysh''',
Profiles '''''period''''' are "unsupported" by Mozilla. Profiles are "there" but the developers want no part of non-developers using them or fixing anything related to Profiles that has been suggested in a Bug report, or documenting much related to Profiles. Profiles as we know them now are going to disappear from Firefox in the near future, although no specific version number or date has been fixed for that to happen. It is up to us user's to share our experiences with Profiles with other user's. I'm a relative noob to Linux, and all my experience with running multiple Profiles and -no-remote is with Windows OS's.
'''cor-el''',
So are you saying that on Linux external links will only open in the first Profile that was opened if multiple Profiles are running?
And that external links won't open a Profile that isn't already running - if any Profile is already running?
''I wish the differences between Windows and Linux as far as '''-no-remote''' and running multiple Profiles were better documented for "us" Linux noobs over at the MozillaZine KnowledgeBase - hint. Unless I am not looking hard enough in the MZ KB for that information....''

Parallels: transferring info from a Windows program to a Mac program

I've been devoted to a Mac for a few years now, but I recently had to switch back to Windows because of its far superior voice recognition software. (I was recently disabled, and now rely on voice recognition to type.)
If I were to buy a new Mac and use my Dragon NaturallySpeaking professional software (the Windows voice recognition program) via Parallels, does anyone know if I would be able to use that to type in a Macintosh program? I understand that I could stay within the virtual Windows platform or do separate tasks on the Mac platform, but I'm not sure if I would be able to transfer the information gathered by the Windows program into a Mac program.
If I'm able to do this, it would mean I could finally switch back to a Mac. Thanks in advance!

How can I open all webpages within one window, using tabs?

As new user I am missing the opportunity to open a link with a new tab. Firefox opens it often within a new window. Using CTRL can solve it, but I'm not used to that.
I used IE and IE has a setting to open everything within a new tab, instead of in a new window.
Is something like that possible for Firefox?
(I read something like that some website needs to be opened with a new window, because it would show better. To me that is nonsense, because I can decide for myself how to open a page.)
So please add a setting for that, I think it would please more people than just me.
TIA,
Jaap

In the Tools menu select Options to open the options window. In the options window go to the Tab panel and make sure the setting "Open new windows in a new tab" is selected.
Firefox only has a small number of tab settings listed on the Options window, you can get far greater control over tabbed browsing by using an add-on. Some examples that greatly enhance tabbed browsing features are:

As far as I know Toshiba doesnt support such Microsoft stuff so I think Microsoft is the right adres for such issues.
Have you already checked what Microsoft say about that?

X102e - Hard drive does not boot into Windows

Hi, I was trying to reinstall Windows on my X120e.
I tried clean install with Windows 7 Professional, but the hard drive does not boot into the Windows once it has done the first phase of the install(you know, the copying part)
After the restart done by Windows, it goes as far as "Starting Windows" but does not actually boot into the Windows.
When I try to install Windows with another HDD, the device works well, but I can't swap the HDD because it is not 7.5mm think HDD.
Is there any possibility the HDD will work trough any software-level process? The HDD works fine as external HDD when tested with external HDD adapter, and installs well. only problem is that it fails to boot

Thank you for reply.
This is not exactly the issue. I was talking about the HDD originally installed in the PC.
The PC successfully recognizes the external disk I used to install the Windows, but the problem was that I did not boot into the "First boot" screen, which basically works on the already installed data.
As of now I have installed an SSD and is working fine. strange part is that HDD works just fine when I use it as an external HDD via adapter. Strange huh?

Don't buy an iPhone if you use a Windows PC

iPhones are made to work with Mac computers. Your experience will be limited if you have a Windows PC. I want a phone that can stream longer home videos from the phone to the PC to send to family living in other states. The Apple program iPhoto will not work with Windows. I may be the only person on the planet who has read the 163-page iPhone 4 manual. Under the instructions for streaming video, it tells me that it cannot be done if I have a Windows computer. Yes, iTunes and Quick Time media players have Windows conversions, but so far iPhotos does not, and it is the only program used for sending longer home video from the phone to the computer.
The phone's memory allows me to email or text a 50 second video, but if I want a longer video, I have to stream it and I can’t because iPhoto is for Macs only. Word to the wise: If you buy an iPhone it is best to have an Apple computer or you will not be able to enjoy all the iPhone features. BTW, the Droid and Blackberry are Windows compatible. I hope my lesson learned the hard way will help others when making a decision about which phone to buy.

There are other options to make longer videos available for others to view. Telling people that you shouldn't buy an iPhone if you use a Windows PC is ridiculous....you do realize that despite Apple's popularity most of the computers owned are PC's and not MAC machines. Which would make it easy to assume that there are quite a few Windows PC users that are iPhone owners...and are more than happy with their device and it's abilities. If streaming is that important to you then for you, perhaps you either need a different device or you need to get a MAC. Otherwise, consider uplaoding the video to a platform that you can easily share all of your videos with anyone you wish. It's not rocket science and it doesn't make your videos any less shareable. FYI...perhaps this is possible on a droid device but prior to getting the iPhone I was a long time BB user. You COULD NOT stream or send long length videos to a computer or via text or any other format. You could sync it to the computer and upload it to a site that others could go view. You could upload the video from the BB to sites like FaceBook and YouTube, but the time it took was long depending on the video and more apt to fail....versus just syncing the video to your computer via the desktop manager and then uploading it to the site of your choice. I'm not an Apple worshipper...but your declaration based off of your inability to have access to a MAC program not because you have an iPhone, but because you chose to purchase a Windows PC is beyond ridiculous. And your assumption that you're the only person to have read the manual is laughable at best. Perhaps if you had done your research for the function you wanted to be able to do prior to purchasing your iPhone (the manual has been available for the iPhone online since the iPhone 4 was first made available to AT&T...several months before VZW got it, giving you plenty of time to research this info in that manner not to mention you had free access to forums such as the Apple Support forum that could have given you first hand info on whether the action you wanted to perform was possible for an iPhone owner that uses Windows PC. Plus, if you haven't had your phone for too long you have time to return it. If it has been too long you can easily sell it assuming that it is still is excellent condition and get very good money on it...money that can go towards getting the device you feel will better suit your needs. At any rate, good luck with whatever you choose. Hopefully you can find an alternative method to fit your needs...or you can get the device (or a MAC) to help you get what you are looking for.

Windows 8 on T410 so far.......
