14-AC015TU HP: HP 14-AC015TU, 8.1 Windows or Windows 7?
Dear HP support,
I have a HP laptop 14-AC015TU in my office, used by staff in my office.
When the first time I bought it, I installed it with 64-bit Windows of 8.1 and it worked fine. Somehow, because of office politics, I was recently invited to modify the operating system to Windows 7. So I reinstalled it with Windows 7 64 bit, but unfortunately, it seems that the laptop becomes slower in performance (much slower in fact) compare to when he was still installed with Windows 8.1.
As for check, is HP laptop 14-AC015TU actually 100% compatible with Windows 7? Or is it better to install Windows 8.1 on it? Please advice.
Thank you and best regards,
Denny Rahardjo
It may be that Windows 8 has more builtin drivers for the hardware that Windows 7 does. Missing/incorrect drivers can cause bad performance. It is, of course, assuming that use you the Windows disk at retail rather than HP recovery for the installation media and haven't checked out your Support page for pilots.

Locate the temporary workspace on a MacBook Pro
Hello-
I have a MacBook Pro bought recently which has been partitioned in Mac OS and Windows. By running software on the Windows side, I realized that I don't know how to locate the temporary workspace on this machine. In other words, on a Windows PC, there are files named 'Local Settings' and 'Temp' in which is placed a temporary storage.
Where are their analogues on a Mac, how are they appointed and how to find them?
Thank you
Thomas
Under/Users, there is a directory with your name. There is a whole/private directories, which are usually used for temporary work space. Is there a specific reason/question looking for files/directories?

A week ago I updated my Mac Mini end of 2014 to Sierra and, among other drawbacks, I found that the "to comments of this Mac window" doesn´t show when it is called. In addition, the button of the substitution of Apple ban on which they consider unreliable applications (i. e. those not manufactured by Apple or not using the iTunes channel) is now gone and I won't unintentionally control I have in my computer. In this case, this means that I can't update latest version of Penny Fletcher of his useful Multimarkdown application.

Brother printer wifi "the printer is unresponsive.
Hello
I'm new to Mac but am generally competent computer/network.
My son is in a the student house where 2 guys have Macbooks and 2 have Windows Mobile 10. the printer is a Brother wireless printer/scanner/fax.
Among Mac users and Windows users can send impressions and analysis perfectly, but only one of the Mac users cannot.
I deleted the printer and downloaded the latest drivers and re-installed but still cannot print.
I tried adding via IP address but still does not work. I also tried the Air and BrotherCUPS, but none worked.HELP............!!!!!
Greetings thequizman,
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It seems that you experience problems printing to a Wi - Fi printer. Looks like you already have a troubleshooting. I recommend reading this article, you have already done some steps here, but there is more information you have not mentioned by train.
If the issue is not resolved, take these last steps to remove all the drivers printer currently installed that might be causing the problem:
- Choose menu Apple > System Preferences, and then click Printers and scanners.
- Control-click anywhere in the list of devices, and then choose "Reset printing system" from the context menu that appears.
- From the Finder, choose go > go to folder. Type
/Library/Printers/
, and then click surGo. - The Printers folder opens. Choose Edition > select all to select all the items in the folder.
- Choose file > new folder with selection to all the selected items in a new folder named new folder with the elements.
To save storage space, you can delete the folder new folder with items after you complete the remaining steps. - Follow the steps described in previous section once more.
If your printing problem is not resolved, contact the manufacturer of the printer to support.

Mail (version 9.3) frequently freezes, requires a reboot.
Mail under El Capitan (10.11.6) freezes frequently. Rebuild my Inbox, sent messages, Junk, etc was not rectified the problem. Seems arbitrary? Anyone else having this problem? All possible solutions to this?
Make a backup, preferably 2 on 2 separate drives.
Exit the Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J. When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail on your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the content.
Reboot, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, recreate the required e-mail settings and import emails you want to save to the folder on the desktop. You can then put the file in the trash. If the problem persists, return the folder where you have guessed replacing one that is there.
If he does not repeat the above using Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent.

No service after upgrade the server to 5.2 on El Capitan
I have a web server that was doing very well until I left the 5.2 update suggested to install OS X Server. I can't get to broadcast web pages. Screen sharing works always and nothing has changed on the routers, etc.
I restarted the server after the update and restarted the server itself several times but keep getting connection via a browser failures.
I did the upgrade even on other servers as well as the upgrade of Sierra. This server is running El Capitan, and is the only one that gave me problems. 5.2 server is not compatible with El Capitan?
Some additional info:
I can connect to the server through ftp and other services; just no web service.
Port tests show that port 80 is not blocked
Using the IP address I can get to the window of the home server.
Accessibility means no services available
Websites is on and I can't find anything that is not defined in law or is different than before the update.

moving slowly to a file in Sierra
I just installed Sierra and when I try to import a file into FileMaker Pro 14 it takes long time painfully for the window showing which file choose. Same thing in the Mail when I try to choose an attachment.
Does anyone else have this problem?
If you have installed 'just' Sierra as you say, there is much current activity as for example the Spotlight is re-indexing system, Time Machine is it backup, Photos are analyzed for facial recognition etc. etc.
What is the Applications > utilities > Activity Monitor show used most of the time CPU?

No free space after deleting files - trouble with optimized storage?
Hi, I have macos Sierra and I deleted many files to my main drive and also to my external hard drive (both to the Mac OS Extended format) in preparation for the boot camp. I also emptied the Recycle Bin, although there is much less space on the two disks that it should be and the majority of the space is obviously indicated under "purgeable". I thought it would not be a problem, because I assumed that the space would be released, if I move all of the files there and if I need for the new Windows partition. However, this assumption was false. I can't simply use storage that I released. I can't move there all the files and I can't create the partition from free space. What can I do with it? It's pretty frustrating... Thanks for the help!
You must use the Bootcamp Assistant to create the Bootcamp partition.
Please provide details on the total space and free space on your internal drive. Post screenshots of what you see in system-> storage information. In addition, select the drive in Finder-I press control and post a screenshot of the window read the information.

Uninstall software update Apple says error in seller contact package package unstaller
Try to get itunes working to make a backup of my faulty iphone before repair.
First-itunes does not start says error. I'm trying to fix it, who said success but same error when you try to start it.
Then uninstall completely worked. Then reinstall that seemed to be over except for a message "an older version of Apple software update already exists" then he went down and install itunes apparently had not been completed.
Then I try to remove the update from the apple software and executed by an error in the installation program - it says there is an error in the installation and contact the supplier of the installation package. Same error if I run the uninstall command line program.
Try to repair the Apple Software Update of programs & features Control Panel and then try to update iTunes again.
For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.
Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.
The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.
Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

Malwarebytes - do I need anything else (security tips)
Hello ladies and gentlemen, Apple Support Forums!
I have a few questions about this great little Mac Mini on my desk. Coming from a Windows background, I have a bit of inherent paranoia that needs a bit of smoothing.
I have read about the security of the Mac, on the defences of sandbox, Gatekeeper, never install suspicious applications etc. But I guess it's always better to have a scanner installed as well. Mac simplifies the sort to choose as my old Windows, Emsisoft Anti-Malware and Superantispyware programs do not provide versions of Mac.
Malwarebytes is one of my classmates that comes with the Mac version. And howdy to how fast it scans. O_o compared to Windows 7 minutes 30 seconds.
Norton was even crap in Windows and Avast, I have more confidence. Avira for Mac looks nice and simple.
So my questions are the following:
(1) do I need anything else besides that Malwarebytes and Avira? (And common sense, I got load of Windows security vulnerabilities...)
(2) as I understand it, Windows malicious software may enter the Mac, but they are completely powerless to do anything, just hang out? Under no circumstances can they interfere with my Mac? So as long as I scan with Malwarebytes, all bad guys he finds are for Mac and trash from potential Windows that the rest is harmless anyway?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide!
No reason for Aviri or another anti-virus application.
