• Question about installing windows on a Macbook Air

  Hello!

  I was just wondering if I would be able to use the student updated Windows Upgrade Pro 8 (the http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msapac/en_GB/pdp/Windows-8-Pro-Upgrade---Student-Offer/productID.282175100) to install Windows 8 on my Macbook with BootCamp.

  Thank you!

  Hi Tatiana,

  If you are still looking for more details here is what, in my view, could help you.

  As Shenan Stanley says, if you do not have a qualifying previous OS such as Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, you can not use the Windows 8 Pro Upgrade. Also, here is a link that talks about

  I hope this helps.

• Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

  I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
  Thank you very much!

  Yes, the registration period is between June 2, 2012 to January 31, 2013.

  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

   

  Yes, the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 will allow you to create a bootable DVD or you can grab the ESD file and save it.

  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.

   

  Yes and there are better ways to reinstall Windows 8 without using the installation disc, you can use the reset and refresh.

   

   

  These steps will take you through refreshing your PC:

  · Press the Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

  · Click general in the left column

  · Under refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Start

  Then follow the instructions that will be provided on-screen to cool your PC.

  As long as you have a recovery disk which you should create or use the construction in the recovery partition, Yes, it will self activate.

• A few Questions about the advanced Actions window

  Hello

  I have a few questions about the progress of the Actions (using the version of track CP7)

  1. What is the function of the action to "continue?"   Out of the peak action and advance the playback cursor?

  2. What does mean this comment "Nested calls to action advanced is a nice improvement."? Is the advanced decision at the top of a page of action tabs?

  3. What is the function of the option "custom" in the IF statement - "preform action if - custom", it doesn't seem to do anything for me?

  4. where can I get information about the timeline / playhead interaction with advanced actions, i.e. where the playhead is going again at the beginning of the slide. slide custom question - display button, e.g. verification of responses, comments - when all the objects are at the beginning of the timeline. I'm looking more for the read head of infromation functionality rather than how to implement this type of question.

  Thank you

  Donal.

  Continue: If an advanced standard action is triggered by a button, this will not trigger the playback head. If you want out, you can use continues. Continue can also be a choice in a conditional action, when one orders branching has nothing to special, but in advance. Continuous is also the "dummy" statement/command (this is the official name of a line in the dialog box advanced actions) If a statement has become unusable due to some reasons, it will be replaced by continue

  There is no nested call stocks advanced possible right now, one of my many feature requests. It would be sort of a subroutine that you can use over and over again, instead of having to create each time when necessary.

  A decision is one of the conditions to be an advanced conditional action. They allow to create more complex actions, as a loop or arrays are not possible. All decisions are executed in sequence and always.

  Custom: is a combination of or but it is rather limited, because you cannot use parentheses.

  I guess you'd better visit my blog if you want to learn more about the advanced actions.

  I also did several Webinars on stocks advanced, last this afternoon (on the sharing of the actions) for Adobe. They are all available on request.

• A few questions about the Satellite A100 PSAANE

  Hello

  Here, a few questions about the number:

  (1) usually, you should get the Vista Toshiba Recovery DVD. If you didn t receive this DVD then you can order it here https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you could install the disc of Microsoft Vista.

  (2) of course, you can do this. I think that Win XP drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

  (3) Yes, you can upgrade the RAM. For more information, see your manual or search on this forum for similar topics

  (4) maybe it s associated with the graphics driver. Check if you can update. I would recommend additional check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS

• A few questions about Toshiab reocvery disk for Satellite P300-133

  Hello guys,.
  I had a few questions about unpleasant surprises of recovery:

  (* 1) * I just make recovery DVD using Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator and he asked initially for 2 DVDs - but when one has been done it does not require a second blank DVD. Is it possible all the Windows Vista system files to write on 1 DVD?

  (* 2) * if I could reinstall Windows Vista using recovery of HARD drive option (by pressing F8) without using the recovery DVD?

  (* 3) * HARD drive partitions that will be formatted (just system C: or C: and E :) using HARD drive recovery?

  (* 4) * what is DVD - Image of the hard drives or the installation of Vista recovery files?

  Its pretty bad idea to not include BONES on DVD when I paid for it.
  Thanks for all the Toshiba problems :(

  1. I think the recovery disk creator means 2 CDs. I also have a Portege M700 with Windows Vista and a DVD. I got it and after that, I have a clean install of Vista with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. Nothing is missing.

  2. Yes, you can reinstall Vista using recovery of HARD drive option when you press F8 at startup. You don't need the recovery DVDs, but you should create a when your HARD drive get some errors or something else. If you need a new recovery DVDs, you paid for one.

  3 HARD drive and complete partitions will be formatted, so backup your data first on a DVD disk external DRIVE, USB stick or something else.
  After the reinstallation, you have factory settings.

  4. the recovery DVDs is an image of the HARD disk on the factory settings. If you perform a recovery, there are all the drivers and tools are already installed. Of course, on the disk are files of installations of Vista, but you can use this DVD on your Satellite P300. The disc cannot be used on another Satellite or on a PC.

  If you have any other questions, take a look in the user manual. There are a number in the formations of the recovery. It s in Chapter 3.

• Questions about reinstalling Windows XP after the end of Support

  Several members of the family of my friends that I sometimes provide technical assistance for are still under XP SP3 on their systems.  These systems are too outdated and underpowered to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, and it will probably be some time until they are able to upgrade to a more recent hardware capable of running most modern versions of Windows.

  If in the meantime, something happens to one of their computers requiring a reinstall of Windows after support for XP purposes, but before they can get a newer computer, I have a few questions about what will happen:

  1. Is there still a way to activate their existing copies of XP during installation process?
  2. While I understand that new patches, updates, patches & will be is no longer provided, existing patches will be available through the Microsoft Update service so that I would be able to get those computers to update state that they would be about to XP supported ends, or do I have to search elsewhere to try & find these updates?  (It would be nice if Microsoft put up a cumulative update that would be sort of a mega-patch for people in this situation to be able to get back to the most current state systems, but I would not be surprised if there wasn't such a thing).

  Anyone know the answers to these questions?

  Thank you

  You should be able to clean install and activate Windows XP.  You should be able to upgrade as well, even if the wise move would be to get the updates stored on portable media or integrated into a multimedia installation (or both) as soon as POSSIBLE if the plan is to continue using Windows XP for a while.

  My suggestion is to set up and to buy Windows 7 Professional renovated systems / lease from places like TigerDirect.com - as pricing is generally about the same as just a license for Windows 7 or a little professional, the hardware specifications of these machines are likely machines Windows XP current in use, using something like the PC Mover take care of Laplink and Microsoft to move files (or for the more than 25 USD the) applications that can be moved as well) to the new system of the former is possible, and Windows 7 will get updated until 2020.

  Recently research I've seen systems to Windows 7 Professional for as little as 150 USD with 4 GB of memory and dual core processors.  Not bad.

• Satellite L650-11R - a few questions about this

  Hello there :-)

  I have a few questions about my new L650.

  I've never had Toshiba notebook before so I apologize if some of these "quirks" are actually quite normal on this laptop. I really want to hear the views of other users L650.

  1)
  First of all, by the time I turned it on I saw gradient thin (1-2 mm) along the right edge of the screen that goes from the bottom up. Maybe "degraded" isn't the right word, but it seems that since two or three pixels are kind of discoloration or lose brightness/sharpness to the edge along the straight bezel. It is not really that visible, looks like the colors are desaturated a bit here or brightness is a bit lacking. He can be seen everywhere (bios or no color in Windows, but better in the lighter background).
  The left side (or other) seems ok, all this along the right edge is somewhat suspicious. If one can compare? I don't know if it's something to worry about or is just supposed to be like that.

  2)
  The other thing I noticed heating of the processor (Intel i3 330M) and GPU (ATi Mobility Radeon 5650). It's pretty hot here right now (I would say that the temperature is around 28 degrees Celsius when using cell phones). He is sitting on the hard surface (table) and nothing is blocking the vents.
  However, at "rest" (surf the web & regular light stuff), average CPU temp hovers around 58 ° C. It usually goes from 45 to 62 in just a few minutes after starting, and then I can hear and see (Toshiba PC Health Monitor) evacuate the kicks in. Temp goes back to 50 +, event stops and then the temp rises to 60 + until the vent is used again.
  During load full (Prime95 or some games), CPU is going all the way up to 75 degrees (the highest being 77). Fan runs at 75 to 77% during this time, never go faster.

  GPU idling is usually around 5 degrees above temp CPU (62-65). During full load (for example. Benchmark of Far Cry 2), I see a lot of stuttering with the latest drivers Catalyst and DX10 (not sure if the stuttering has something to do with heat), otherwise it is ok (no artifacts or anything like that). Temp of GPU during the loading goes up to 74-75, fan speed is locked at 30%, the frequency of the heart 5650 is 450 MHz. left side of the laptop (vent and below) is pretty hot, while the keyboard is warm (or slightly warmer who who).

  These time seems correct and safe in the long term? I'd rather events works all the time (they aren't really very strong) and keeping time less than 50, but there are just wishful pious bios control events and I can't control not the bios. :-)

  3)
  This is just General related products. :-)
  Official specifications of Toshiba L650 say ATi 5650 (between other low range GPU), but I saw a few specifications calling for there 5730 (same model 11R). Is there really a Satellite L650 with ATi 5730 GPU models?

  Sorry for the long post, I tried to include the best possible description that I could do. :-)

  Thank you in advance.

  Thanks for the additional info!

  Concerning

  Have you read this statement ? It explains how to set the registry value:

  If the REG_SZ useDefaultTimer does not already exist, you must create it under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\CVI Run-Time Engine\cvirte. "" This can be done navigate to the appropriate folder, and then click Edit "New" string value. Then, click on means the name of the new value created, select Rename, and then specify useDefaultTimer as the name. Finally, double click on the name and specify the value True or False.

• a few questions about vcloud

  I have a few questions about vcloud.  Currently, we use labmanager and are testing vcloud to see how we can apply it to our environment.  The current labmanager serves the following purpose:

  -create dev and QA 'environments' (configurations) that are copies of production servers so that the changes can be tested

  -environments deploy everything from models that are clones of production servers that we update as required

  -We have several models of "database" that freshen production according to the needs in order to provide a current recuree version of the database of production for these environments

  -computers in virtual environments are able to talk to each other using their 'production' IPs, because IP addresses are closed and accessible only internally within the

  -Each VM has an "external IP" that we can use to access the virtual machines from outside the environment.  for example, access a Web site through the front-end server within the environment, or RDP to a windows virtual computer within an environment.

  I am trying to determine how this translates into vcloud configuration, and I think I have a rough idea.  However I have a few questions:

  As I understand it, has no way to RDP to a virtual machine in a paralytic 'environment' unless the virtual machine is directly routed, correct?  In other words, we cannot copy the configuration that we have above, where the virtual machine has an internal IP address that corresponds to the IP address of the server in production and is used to refer to other virtual machines in the same environment of vApp, however there is also one external IP address, we can use to access this virtual machine via RDP or access its site Web etc.?

  I have 2 servers windows 2008, I imported as models, and each time I deploy a virtual using the VAPP model computer, the server seems to restart after 15 minutes be on is, and it seems to go through a windows installation, where it says "preparing your system for a first use" etc.  And when it arrives, the administrator password I put is no longer correct (so I have no idea why / what it changes the administrator password).  At this point, the virtual machine is useless since I can't connect to it.  No idea why this happens each time I have deploy a model VM?

  We talk here: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/09/15/vcd-networking-part-3-use-case .  Not exactly a step by step for your case to use, but you should be able to get this up and running and configure NAT in the opposite direction.

• A few questions about the use of data and Cliq

  I have the cliq, however I chose to not get 3G (so I bought full fare). So I have a few questions about the phone and the use of 3G / 2 G/Edge:

  1 - is possible to disable completely the 2G / 3 G/Edge? I know you can switch between them, but are anyway just tell the phone to stop using them altogether since I'm not subbed to the service?

  2. when the update takes place, I guess we'll have to reconnect motoblur and etc, but if I don't have 3 G will I have motoblur connection problems after the update? Or he keeps the latest wifi settings so that it would connect to wifi to connect. When I first got my phone it was not a problem b/c I had 3G for the first month.

  I hope that makes sense, thanks!

  To stop all the data, I would like to download an application called APNDroid. He cut them all down. When you log on to blur you have 3G or WIFI doe this without getting a timeout error. During the process of setting up your Blur account, you can press the menu button and set up your wifi to work, this will connect you to Blur and your phone will be connected to the blur. If I were you I would be rethinking to do a data plan since you are really losing out on most of your main features of phones. It's your choice, however.

• a few questions about the migration of content/web content

  Hi all
  
  
  I have a few questions about the migration of the website and content (from development to test) which are not specified after reading the oracle documentation.
  
  -> When we make the site replication will be migrated content (data files).
  
  -> when we move will contained all the ED and RD etc (any object type web site migrated).
  
  --> are the two the necessary step for migration when we migrate web site.
  
  
  Thank you
  
  -Yves

  --> When we make the site replication of the content will be migrated (data files).

  It depends on how you do it. The tool 'Site Studio Replicator' won't move any content, only the structure of the site. The 'Manage replication Site' page can be used to migrate content with the structure of the site but I do not recommend for large sites, I use separate tasks to archive to move the content. "Backup and restore" page stores the entire site in a ZIP file, not advisable for large sites.

  --> When migrate us content will be all ED and RD etc (any object type web site migrated).

  Yes. It uses the metadata xWebsites field to identify the elements that belong to the site.

  --> are the two the necessary step for migration when we migrate web site.

  Depends on how you do it, but yes, all bits are needed.
