Windows can't find ram!

I have a MBP with 4GB of RAM. When I'm in windows, windows can't access all the RAM for some reason.
It says that I have 4GB of RAM but only 2,1GB is usable. How do I fix this problem, or if I even can?

32-bit Windows only can see at most about 3.5 GB, even then some is lost.
This is old (http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/faq/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-3-g b-memory-limitation-details.html), but it helps somewhat explain how 32-bits of memory address is quite limiting.

i cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried downloading it again but it still gave me the same message. the problem has nothign to do with my internet because it wonks on internet explorer and everythign is fine, my computer just can't access firefox for some reason. i tried uninstallign ti adn then installing it again, but that didnt work, i tried installing a different version and it still didnt work.
okay the exact message is" Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Forefox 4.0 Beta 1\firefox.exe'. make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
Nothing happens after i install is the "Launch Firefox now" checkbox set, the same message comes up.
i usually start firefox from the shortcut i have on my desktop but when this happened i thought that the shortcut is the problem, but i went to the Mozilla firefox folder and tried it from there, but it didnt work. i also tried downloading different versions of firefox but that didnt work either.

can you tell me the solution to "windows cant find firefox" error. thanks.

Why am I getting an error message,"windows can not find(my Yahoo mail launch address)"when accessing Yahoo mail site?

Using WindowsXP, and e-mail via Yahoo,browser is Firefox 4.0.I get the following error message when accessing yahoo mail site:"http://us.f831.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?action=welcome&yy=1782408664&.rand=0qrsdp1o...Windows can not find(the above address is inserted here).make sure you typed the name correctly,and try again". After this message is displayed on my desktop it begins to fade,and the inbox of my yahoo mail is then displayed..I am able to work all functions of the mail without problems.( I might add at this point that i access the mail program via a desktop icon).When I close out of the program the error message box with the error described above is displayed again on my desktop.I must click on the "X" to remove it.I can access my yahoo mail via Internet Explorer with no problem,as well as accessing via my yahoo home page.

Here's an image of the ERROR Message. I'm not sure how this forum works -- if this image is an attachment or if it shows up in the body of this reply.

1. You cannot make changes in iTunes: it only reads the feed. You have to make any changes in the feed itself - in your case in Podomatic. When for example you add a new episode you simply add it to the feed. There is no need to do anything else; subscribers will see it almost immediately and the Store will update in 1-2 days.
2a. I can't adviseon the specifics of Podomatic. The 'itunes:new-feed-url' must be added to the RSS feed, not to the web page which is where it looks as if you are trying to add it. iTunes does not read the web page, only the feed. I have a feeling that Podomatic will not allow you access to the feed to add this tag, but I don't know for sure. If you can't add it you will have to contact Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to move the Store to using a different feed.
You can see a sample feed on my page at
http://wilmut.uk/pc
2B. I'm afraid I can't advise on WordPress either. You will need to make sure you have set it to produce an iTunes compliant feed.
If you want me to check whether a feed is correct you can post the URL here.

There are a number of posts related to copying issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
Search for: security
Click 'Local Security Policy'
Goto Local Policies > Security Options
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
Click OK
To disable Windows Search:
Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
Press OK, close all windows and restart.
A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

Windows can not find ' FILE ': error.

I have downloaded and installed the production version of SQL Developer. (1.0.0.14.67)
Windows XP SP 2.
When I started it for the first time I checked all the file association check boxes.
If I double click on a .sql file the following windows error occurs:
Windows can not find '<file>'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To Search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.
SQL Developer does startup. The error message is closed when the OK button is selected.
Any Ideas?
Regards;
Robert

Hi Robert,
Just to confirm, SQL Developer does actually open the file. The only issue is the error message displayed. I have logged a bug for that.
There is a work around until that is sorted. If you use explorer to associate the file types with SQL Developer, they open without this error.

On a clean Firefox download I consistantly can't open Firefox because "Windows can't find Firefox.exe" - doesn't look like it's being downloaded.

I have used several download sites including Mozilla's to try and download Firefox. In every case, when the download is "complete", the Firefox icon appears in the taskbar. When I click on it to open Firefox I get this message "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again." I've searched my computer and FIrefox.exe is not there. When I looked at the files that were downloaded in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox there are quite a number of files including one with the Firefox icon and the name "Firefox". Clicking it once again brings up that can't find Firefox.exe dialog box. I'm on an Acer Aspire with Win 7 32 bit. I did have Firefox on the laptop but a virus forced me to restore the laptop to its original configuration. I've reloaded my programs with the exception of Firefox.

#Delete the Firefox installation folder, if exist, which is located in one of these locations, by default:

#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

Windows Can't find Device Driver Softw

I just got a Zen 6GB media player, and I installed the Media Explorer software from the cd that came with it, charged the player via the computer, but I can't load anything on to the player because everything says it is still not connected. The reason for this seems to be that when I plug it in, windows cannot install the device's driver software. It starts searching for the drivers, but can't find them. In window's device manager it lists under Portable Devices a MTP Device, but it has the yellow exclamation point on it. And when you look at the devices details it says "This Device cannot start. (Code 0)"
Does anyone have any idea if there is some way I can get the drivers elsewhere and point windows to them? I'm not sure what to do. All the related software says there is no device connected, since the computer won't recognize it without any driver information I guess. Any help would be very much appreciated.
I have Windows Vista and everything is up to date as far as I am aware.
Thanks?

Windows can't find Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) after iTunes 9.2 upg

Hey guys!
My iPhone 3G (3.1.3) and iTunes (9.1) has been working normally when I upgraded iTunes to the 9.2.0.61 version to install the OS4 in my iPhone.
After this, when my iPhone turn on in Recovery Mode, Windows cannot find the driver "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" and the iTunes can't upgrade to OS4.
If I turn on my iphone in normal mode, Windows can install successfully the driver and iTunes recognize the iPhone.
I put my iPhone in another PC (with Windows XP and iTunes 9.1) and the Windows found and installed the iPhone drivers in Recovery Mode. But, in this computer, I've also tried upgrade the iTunes to 9.2 version and the same Problem has benn ocurred.
Someone else has the same problem???
Thanks for help!

I GOT THE SOLUTION!!
This problem happens due a conflict between the Samsung's Software "NEW PC STUDIO" and the Apple Drivers!
The solution is unistall all Samsung's Software and removing all Apple Softwares as well (like iTunes, device drivers etc)
Then cleaning the Windows Register with some software like CCleaner AND manually using REGEDIT, just find for Samsung (carefully with other Samsung Devices like HardDrive. You musn't remove something like that) then, finding for New PC Studio.
Remove all Keys related Samsung New PC Studio.
Restart your PC and reinstall iTunes lastest version.
Now, you can put your iPhone in Recovery Mode that Windows will recognize it!

Hmm, when you use Finder->Go->Connect to Server (or apple-k), and type smb://1.2.3.4/Share, you aren't asked for a username and password? Could be that your keychains is supplying them, and perhaps that part of the problem. Can you delete your keychain credentials so that you are forced to enter a username and password? When you are asked for a username, use your "short name".

Windows can't find air disk

I have been searching for a long time now and can't find any answer how get my windows xp to connect to air disk..! Can anyone help would be greatly appreciate.
( I use air disk to share data in office, not to syn or anything )
Thx

You need to install the Airport Base Station Disk Agent software that comes on the installer disk with the Airport Base Station. You might be able to download the software from Apple, too. This will put an icon on your system tray that allows you to access the AirDisk.

Windows can't find a website but firefox launches anywah

When I click on a firefox icon i put on my desktop for a particular website, Windows [Vista] says it can't find the website, but then Firefox opens and goes to the website. The box stays there and does not go away. I had a similar problem with Firefox 3.xx but it went away and then opened the page. Now I have to close the box.

Yoga 2 11 Need to reinstall Windows, can't find how

Hi folks. I bought a Yoga 2 11 for my son at Christmas and of course he managed to download a really nasty bug in a Minecraft map file he loaded when I wasn't around. I can't get this thing cleaned so I thought I should just reinstall Windows since he hasn't had it long and we don't have much to backup/reload. I can't find a darn thing in Support for a Yoga 2 11 and didn't see my Windows license code anywhere. Could someone point me in the right direction on how to do this?
Thanks,
Samantha

Hello and welcome,
I moved your post from the Windows Tablets board to this forum. First, let's verify: you're talking about a Yoga 2 11 laptop, not a tablet?
You should be able to power on using the Novo button and run a OneKey reset to factory state. The User Guide (Windows 8.1) – Lenovo Yoga 2 11 will help. Check page 25.
