Windows XP and Mac Problem

I have 3 iPods, mine, by younger brothers, and my older brothers. My older brothers has been used on a Mac and works fine he hasn't tried to use it on the windows computer yet. My iPod has gotten all of its songs from the Windows computer. My younger brothers iPod got all of its songs from the Mac and wants the songs off of the Windows computer also. The Windows XP computer keeps saying that the iPod is not readable and needs updating. I have tried updating it and it says that it has the latest software at that point. Is there any way to get the songs from both the Mac and Windows XP computer onto the same iPod?

MacBook Air dual system with Windows crashed, and Mac password forgotten

The MacBook Air of my friend encountered a few big problems. Here is the story:
1. There are two operating systems in it: Windows 7 and Mac OS 10.6. She used Windows 7 exclusively (which is the reason for the 5th problem below). This may already seem awkward from the start, but please don't blame her for this..
2. Today somehow the Windows 7 cannot boot (the classical "blue screen" appeared), probably due to an error in the updating process.
3. So now we have to log into the Mac OS to do some operation on the Windows system, either to back up the data, or to edit the Windows disk somehow to repair it.
4. In order to do this, we need to install some third party tools in Mac OS (to have access to the NTFS file system; BTW, the Windows partition cannot be mounted by the "disk utility" tool due to some errors), and here is where another big problem comes about:
5. She has forgotten the password of the Mac OS system (be assured: this MacBook Air is not a stolen one), so practically we cannot install any new software, or run tools that requires a high privilege!
6. Well, by Googling I found that the password might be circumvented by using a recovery usb stick, by she cannot find out this usb stick...
7. Some articles mentioned pressing "command + R" or "command + S" during booting to enter a command line environment (I am not sure about this), which had no effect at all in our case.
By now I have no solid idea how could such a situation be solved... The possibilities I can think of are:
a. Take the laptop to an Apple repair center.
b. Try to make a recovery disk by myself, and use it to get rid of the password.
c. Try to boot the computer with an external disk (somehow made), and then edit or backup the Windows partition.
I am not sure any of them will work.
Any ideas will be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If your friend has got a Late 2010 MacBook Air, the Mac came with a USB drive that contains Mac OS X Snow Leopard, to reset passwords, reinstall Mac OS X...
If he/she has got an older MacBook Air, he/she has got DVDs instead, and you need an external optical drive or a PC to be able to reset the password. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2129?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US After starting with the DVD, open Utilities menu > Password Reset, and follow the steps
If he/she lost the USB drive or DVDs, call Apple to get replacement DVDs or another USB drive > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

Windows has a software updater built into Windows and when you install the Boot Camp drivers then it will install an Apple software updater also. I believe Windows is set to automatically download and install your updates as does the Apple software Updater. They both will update the individual files it needs to periodically.
"Microsoft updates" and "Windows updates" are basically the same thing in Windows. Are you talking about the "Windows support software" when downloading from Boot Camp Assistant? Apple installs a software updater for it's Boot Camp drivers in Windows 7 so you can do it manually or automatically.
The "Hot Fix" your referring to is only for certain motherboards built from other Windows only computer manufacturers and does NOT pertain to any Apple computers.
If you have a problem with your computer then it's best to ask a specific question so we can help better.

USB compatible with Windows 7 and Mac OS X

Hi everyone.
I bought myself today a Datatraveler 32GB usb stick from Kingston. I do some computer fixing in my spare time.
I want to put my personal tools on this stick. So when I go to people who have Windows I take the usb stick with me and I have all my tools on it. On the other side, when I go to people with a Mac, the usb stick has to be compatible with that too. So I thought, when I make 2 partitions on it and I format the first one with Mac OS X extented and the second with NTFS, then I got a usb stick that is compatible with both OSes. But when I format this in Disk Utility my Windows PC doesn't recognize the stick as compatible.

Hi Joel,
just as an idea: why not use FAT32 as file system ?
It's compatible with both Windows 7 and Mac OSX.
For your immenent problem:
You have to use MBR (Master Boot Record) as partition scheme on the stick, then Windows 7 can format its partition with NTFS and OSX can format with MacOS Extended (Journaled) on its designated partition.
Be aware of some stories that using MacOS Extended file system on an MBR partitioned drive/stick might lead to 'deteriorating' problems later on.
Personally I use FAT32 for my USB-Sticks without any problems going back and forth between Windows and Mac OSX.
Regards
Stefan

If I use an SD card for both Windows 7 and Mac, is there any way to see the documents from the Mac sight while on the windows side?

If I use an SD Card on both the windows 7 and Mac OS (using bootcamp), is there any way to see the data seen on the Mac OS side while using the Windows OS?

Windows Aero style uses a different background image than Mac:
Windows Aero:
#nav-bar {
background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(253,253,253,0.45), rgba(255,255,255,0));
Mac:
#nav-bar {
background: url(chrome://browser/skin/Toolbar-background-noise.png),
linear-gradient(hsl(0,0%,93%), hsl(0,0%,83%));
I can't test hands on, but you might be able to clear that OSX "fog" using a rule such as:
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
#nav-bar, #PersonalToolbar {
background-image: none !important;
background-color: transparent !important;
This could be applied using the Stylish extension or by creating/editing a userChrome.css file.

yes you need the updates and patches.
Only some of the drivers that Windows will automatically install at times
and always make sure to insure it is using restore points
do all the maintenance andsuch as normal
use MS Security Essentials for AV is really top notch
Clean disk space
Use WinClone new program to inisure you have a restore image

lower your font size unless you have difficulty
MS Security Essentials is excellent
Then again maybe time to investigate Windows 8 RP (which uses Defender)

Can vmware player be used to create windows pc and mac. Will I need any other software or hardware to do that?(Have Windows and Mac on same computer)

Since you posted this in the iPod Touch forum and didn't provide enough information to contradict that I am going to say the it can't be done. VMWare does work in iPods.

Same code will run on windows xP and mac x

we have to develop the application for windows XP and mac X. so the codes written in windows platform will run at mac X with same performance ? plz suggest me..
thanx
vipin

Same performance? Too many variables to say.
It depends on the computer processor, amount of memory etc etc, let along the differences in the implementation of the java virtual machine on different platforms.
I doubt you will find anyone that can give you a straight answer.

Windows Keboard and Booting Problem (on a Mac laptop)

Hi, I've been putting up with a really strange (and annoying) problem that my laptop has been going through. I have a Santa Rosa MacBook Pro with OS Leopard, and I put on a Windows XP Pro (with Service Pack 2) NTFS partition. It used to work fast at first--especially booting up and logging on. I have noticed that now when I log onto Windows (no other user accounts , just mine) the wallpaper, desktop, desktop icons, start bar, all load. But when I click on My Computer it takes a good minute and a half for all the components to be displayed (like C drive , the CD drive, Shared Documents). I only have one partition which is C drive. But for a minute and a half, the flashlight icon keeps moving back and forth. Even if I click on any icon, the cursor will turn into a sandtimer but no programs will open once all the drives show up in the My Computer window.
My initial theory was that maybe it's searching for My Documents which I shifted to one of my external harddrives. But that doesn;t seem to be it. When I log off and log back in, it loads much faster. I can open programs in 2 seconds. Also, I realized that the Apple keyboard features (which is controlling volume and brightness) works only then. If I had to boot up Windows, not only does it take long to load (although shutting down is pretty quick), the brightness and volume keys don't work. I have to set it manually through Control Panel. So now if I have to open up Windows, the ritual is that I sit around for a minute and a half (which is a very long time if u think about it) and just when it's working I force myself to log off (so the volume and brightness keys work once I log back on)
I suppose it's worth mentioning that I had downloaded this "skin" which makes XP look like Vista, but I uninstalled it now although not completely since it needed the Service Pack 2 CD which I don't have at the moment (I'm on vacation) . I would think that could be the problem, but then why does simply logging off and on make Windows work like a charm? Is it an update glitch? Has anyone had this problem before? Could somebody please help me since I'm really tired of waiting around or this stupid thing to load (not to mention hearing myself come up with stupid theories). This has been going on for 4 and half months now. Come to think of it it's been a while since I received any Bootcamp updates from Apple (unless they just haven't released any that could fix such a problem)
Just in case my specs are-- 2.4 GhZ, OS 10.5, nVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, 15 inch display, 250 GB (of which 30 GB is for Windows).
I'll be waiting for any answers/suggestions/tips/solutions. Thanks so much in advance =)
