Wrong board, I know, but I don't know how to use Parallels...

Can someone walk me through installing Win XP on Parallels? The help menu doesn't, and I can't find a forum on their own site. Is it easier than it looks? The software looks so complicated to me.

Well… you wave this magic wand and…
Seriously though, it's easier than it looks. What you do is this…
1) Install it and register your serial number (even if it's a trial number).
2) At this point you should be confronted with a "Untitled Virtual Machine" window. Ignore it.
3) Select "New VM…" from the file menu and follow the Wizard that will guide your through the setup. Click Finish at the end of the Wizard.
4) Now, edit any of the paramters that you have such as memory by clicking on its Resource link else clicking on the Edit button. When you're done Save it.
5) You have now set up the virtual machine. All you now need to do is start it and you do this by clicking on the green Play button. You should now have a window that should look exactly like a PC with nothing setup.
6) Insert your Windows CD and install it like any other.
7) After installing Windows, go to the VM menu and select "Install Parallels Tools…". This will install some things that will make the experience better and also install drivers that will make it go smoother.
From there you're done.

    My phone has no more storage but it says i have 5gb on icloud but i don't know how to use them.

    iCloud storage doesn't affect the available storage on your device.  It's for backing up your device and syncing your data, so you can recover the data if needed.
    You probably need to import photos/videos to your computer or another destination (like a photo kiosk & burn CDs), and then delete them from your device.  Or, delete some unused apps from your device.

  • Hi, I've checked how to use kannada keyboard in Yosemite. But, there are some 'vattu forms' and other grammar in Kannada language that I don't know how to use it. For eg, Preetiya taatanige nimma muddu mommagalu maduva namaskara? How to write this?

    Hi, I've checked how to use Kannada keyboard in Yosemite. But, there are some 'vattu forms' and other grammar in Kannada language that I don't know how to use it. I know how to change between the keyboards and can also view keyboard. However, For eg, 'Preetiya taatanige nimma muddu mommagalu maduva namaskara' How to write this? If anybody can answer this, very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    In general, you need to use the "f" (kannada qwerty keyboard) or "d" key (kannada) between letters to make special forms.  Also you may need to adjust the typography settings of the font, which is done by doing Format > Font > Show Fonts > Gear Wheel > Typography as shown below.  If you can provide screenshots or more detailed info on things you cannot make, I can perhaps help.
    It is important to note that MS Word for Mac does not support Indic scripts -- any other app should work OK.

  • HT201328 I have iphone 4 with virgin mobile canada, virgin provided me SIM unlock code online, but i don't know how to use that code to unlock my phone. Can anyone help me in this?

    I have iphone 4 with virgin mobile canada, virgin provided me SIM unlock code online, but i don't know how to use that code to unlock my phone. Can anyone help me in this?

    That's not how unlocking an iPhone works.
    The carrier the phone is locked to submits a request to Apple, wh updates their database. When that is complete, you restore the phone with iTunes to process the unlock.

  • I had nokia n8 and now i want to transfer my contacts from nokia to my new i phone 5, i set up i tune and i cloud account but i don't know how to use do it. i have windows 7 and no outlook

    If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self.    I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing

  • I downloaded form filler for firefox but can't find it and don't know how to use it?

    I downloaded form filler for firefox but can't find it and don't know how to use it?

    This doesn't sound like a Firefox problem. You should try to consider, methodically, what you did before the problem occurred so that you can describe to someone exactly what occurred, and in what order.

  • Google Maps dowloaded, but don't know how to use it or find what I just downloaded?

    just bought a blackberry curve and know nothing about it. I went to google maps and clicked download, and it finished downloading and now I do not know how to use google maps or find where it is on my phone. How do I find where it is on my phone? (When I finished downloading it asked if I wanted to "run" or something else, I checked the other box - Also, if I go back to google and try to download google maps again it says it was already downloaded on my phone!)
    I do know how to use google maps on a computer, just not on my phone.

    Assuming that it downloaded and installed ok on your Curve, the first step is to find the application icon.  Depending on your theme you're using, you may need to press the menu button to display the full list of applications. Do that by pressing the button to the right of the trackball (with the dots). 
    The google maps icon is kind of orange and looks like a little folded map. After you click on that, it's pretty straight forward. Click on the menu button to search for a location and get directions.
    Hope that's not too basic of instructions.  Besides from email, google maps is the thing I use the most.  Verizon cripples the GPS, but the approximate location based on cell towers is still super useful.  Enjoy!

  • In a class for dreamweaver cs6 but have Creative cloud I don't know how to use dreamweaver

    I am in a web design class where the book is on CS6 Dreamweaver but I have Creative Cloud so everything is different. I am afraid I am going to fail this class that is required for my degree because I do not know how to use Dreamweaver. Can anybody help me?

    If you're a Creative Cloud Subscriber, you can download & install CS6 alongside CC. 
    NOTE: Follow the VERY IMPORTANT instructions or it won't work.

    The problem with text books is that they were not updated to reflect changes/improvements Adobe made to the software. It's worth noting that DW CS6 has 6 versions -- all a little different depending on how you obtained it.

  • I'm not sure I know how to use numbers 09 after iworks has left. I emailed a copy from my ipad to my pc, saved it  but, it won't open on my pc desktop.  Also, how do I move an excell spread sheet now from my pc to my ipad?

    I'm not sure I know how to use numbers 09 now that iworks has departed. I emailed a copy from my ipad to my pc,saved it to my desktop but it won't open. Also, how do I now move an excel spreadsheet from my pc to my ipad?

    iWork (no 's') for iOS & iWork for Mac have not gone away.
    iWork.com (beta) (also no 's') is going away the end of July. iWork.com (beta) is/was an online method of sharing iWork files with other users & never moved out of beta in 3+ years. It is a completely different entity than the iWork apps & is not & never has been necessary for the iWork apps to function.
    A Numbers document, as well as Pages or Keynote documents, cannot be opened on a PC. You must first export them to a file that a PC can use. For Numbers that is generally Excel. In Numbers on your iPad tap the wrench & then tap Share & Print & choose Excel as the file type.
    As for transfering a file from a PC to an iPad, I'm not sure as I don't use a PC.

  • I can not get my imovie clips transferred to my external hard drive. I did it before but I don't remember how I did it. I tried dragging it and I tried moving it under the share tab too. Help!

    I have a Mac 10.8.2 and iMovie 08. I have uploaded movie's from my video camera onto iMovie, and now I cannot move them to my external hard drive. I was able to do this before, but I don't remember how I did it. I tried to drag it and I tried moving it by using the share tab.
    Any information on how I can go about transferring from iMovie to my external hard drive would be helpful.
                                                                     AND
    Any information on how I can transfer movies and pictures from my camera directly to my external hard drive would be helpful as well.
    Thank You!

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

    Hi fellow apple guys, i have this problem. Hope you can help me. I don't know how to use the function keys (F1 to F12) on my macbook air. Pls help

    Out of the box, to use the function keys as function keys, hold down the fn key when you press the key. Otherwise, you get the picture function on the key. You can reverse this behavior in the Keyboard system prefs.

  • Gantt chart: Don't know how to use the tooltipkeys and toolkeylabel

    I have a problem. Don't know how to use the tooltipkeys and toolkeylabel. I used jquery to select the gantt bars and on mouse over i was getting the task id "tid" then passing it to adf bean with serverlistener and showing a popup that is adf component with javascript. For positioning of the popup I used a button that has width and height 0 and has position absolute and gets the coordinates of the mouse.
    "div[et]" is a jquery selector that selects all the elements that have attribute et. I noticed that all the bars have that attribute as a few other attributes as well "part"...

    Edited by: 897833 on Nov 24, 2011 11:37 AM

    Hi,
    To use tooltipkeys and tooltiplabel in gantt, you can add following code in managed bean
    public String[] getTooltipKeys()
    return new String[]{"columnA", "columnB", "StartDate", "EndDate"};
    public String[] getTooltipLabels()
    return new String[]{"A", "B", "Start Date", "End Date"};
    where , the string array in the ToolTipKeys represents the columns, of the table you have in the gantt component , and the string array in TooltipLabels displays the label you want to display for the table columns.
    In the jsff, you could call the bean methods as follows:
    tooltipKeys="#{GanttBean.tooltipKeys}"
    tooltipKeyLabels="#{GanttBean.tooltipLabels}"

Maybe you are looking for
