Is this OK to start the XP Mode in VirtualBox, VMWare or Virtual PC 2007?
Is it legal for a Windows 7 Pro license (or better) user to run the Image Mode Windows XP http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx in VMWare, Virtual Box or Virtual PC 2007, as long as the host operating system is a completely legal to Win7 Pro (or better) copy?
Hello Shawn,
The Image in Windows XP Mode will work succcessfully with Virtual PC 2007 with no problems at all. As for VMWare and Virtual Box, I think it would work successfully. You should not experience or be concerned by problems of legality by using Virtual PC 2007 to install the Image in Windows XP Mode. Image in Windows XP Mode has been designed to work with Virtual PC. As said in a previous post Sanmartin, you'll lose some of the benefits of the integrated using an application of alternative virtualization solution. If the information provided in this thread helped you get a resolution, please indicate the post as answer. If by chance you have other questions or concerns, please post them in this thread with yoru investigation. I look forward to hear from you. Have a great day.
Thank you

IPod touch 2nd generation, cannot start the dfu mode
Hello!
I have a 2nd generation Ipod which is is disabled because of lost password. So I know no more iOS type.
The problem is that I can't open the dfu mode even if I tried "all" solutions that the web has to offer.
Whenever I have connect the ipod to the pc, Itunes response is "Itunes can not connect to the device because it is locked. "You need to type the code before it can connect to iTunes."
I tried the approach that Apple recommended but it does not work. The final solution, I tried was to download recboot and see if I could activate this way dfu mode, but only has not to be helped.
Turn off the iPod Touch. Press in and hold the home button while connecting to iTunes, make sure that you press and hold the home button before you connect and keep holding until you see the recovery screen, must look like the one below. Once to this iTunes screen should warn you that it detects an iPod in recovery mode and needs to restore. Now, just click on restore and iTunes will restore the iPod touch, no code necessary. I hope this has helped!

MBP is unable to start the recovery mode
What I did:
1 created a BOOTCAMP WIN7 partition.
2 installed WIN7 without any problem.
3. after the installation realized this BOOTCAMP partition was too small to account for the applications.
4. in OSX, I used the disc utilities to create a new partition in the hope to expand WIN7 using computer management.
Note: Did not know at this stage that I couldn't resize the BOOTCAMP partition.
5. in the reboot was missing the BOOTCAMP partition. Back to OSX and deleted the partition newly created in the hope of solving problem. It does not solve the issue returned if MAC partition to the previous size.
6. found online for instructions to restore the BOOTCAMP partition. Basically, I have executed (sudo/dev/disk0 gdisk), track your orders: r
, h , 4 , y , hex MBR code default , y , n , o , o , y . When I tried to write this out I got an error. After research, I realized that, even as root, I had no possibility to write the settings. This required me to disable SIP. So I booted into recovery mode, within the Terminal, I was able to run (csrutil disable). No problem. Back to OSX, and at that time, I was able to write the settings. Restarted and my BOOTCAMP partition was available. At this point, I was on the original show with BOOTCAMP partition too small. 7 bought WINCLONE and backed up my BOOTCAMP partition. Deleted the partition, BOOTCAMP and MAC returned to the original hard disk configuration. Back to manufacture settings.
8. resized by car using the disc utilities for what I tried to accomplish. WINCLONE to restore image BOOTCAMP. This large all worked. All partitions appear by pressing the alt/options when starting. I can't enter EC OSX and WIN7.
9. after having reached this point, I decided that it was important to turn SIP. When I tried to boot into recovery mode by using alt/options the MBP displays the loading splash screen but then goes off. So then I tried to use the command + r taking me to internet loading recovery. The recovery screen eventually load and when I try to run (enable csrutil) I get bash command not found error.
Note: I ran disk utility first aid on the menu of recovery OSX EC and internet, no error. Still no luck with the transition into recovery mode.
Current status: the two operating systems work very well. I was even able to update WIN7 WIN10 without any problem. I just can't in recovery mode to activate SIP.
Any advice?
My next option was to delete the BOOTCAMP partition and do a clean install, but I fear that my software purchased as FileMaker Pro and WINCLONE will be unavailable. I have a Time Machine backup and running. That said, when I tried to restore the iMac of the wife he not would allow me to restore the operating system using Time Machine. I don't know why, but I had to use my image to restore his computer. My MBP FileValt is currently disabled. He was turned on but felt the need to disable it to prevent that a possible problem. I made a backup of charges using Time Machine and also WINCLONE.
Thanks in advance.
Update:
1. I just finished a clean install of EC and that corrects my SIP number. I just want to add that Time machine worked very well! I was able to restore all applications.
2. next goal is trying to install WIN10 image and WINCLONE. My hope is that it will not change my MBR.

Could not start the recovery mode
Have a 10 years, MacBook Pro under Snow Leopard. I want to erase the hard drive, so I can pass the computer. Tried to go to the mode of recovery many times, but I get to my office. Have you tried pressing the button command + R with no luck. Then I tried just by pressing the option key. Same thing.
Someone has an idea?
Thank you
Rivervu
You need to start on the DVD included with the computer. There is no recovery mode in Snow Leopard, and your computer is too old to use Internet recovery.

Legality of the XP Mode under VMWare
Hello
I have an old application that can be installed on Windows XP. I bought a new PC with Windows 7 Ultimate installed. If I managed to install XP Mode and run it with Virtual PC. Unfortunately, the application uses the parallel port (LPT1) with a hardware activation key. I understand that the parallel ports are not functional under Virtual PC so I decided to import XP Mode in VMWare Player Standalone converter. I had a problem of activation at the start of the imported virtual machine.I followed the steps described in the following note on VMWare forum and my interpretation is that the solution is legal.I also read the next note, but the answer is not clear enough.I wonder if this is legal in all. I need a clear answer so I can ask the customer to buy a license or not. The virtual machine will still run on the original PC I just bought and the Virtual PC and XP Mode will always be installed on the PC but not executed.Thank youHi Patrick
I would recommend that ask you this question on the forums of Windows Virtualization. Experts it should be able to answer.

Can not access the Recovery Mode
Hello guys,.
I have a very annoying problem.
I can't enter mode recovery on my iMac 27 "late 2011, El Capitan 10.11.1.
After pressing 'control' + 'r' at the start, the recovery mode is loading, however, when the progress bar reaches half width computer is turn off.When I try to access the Boot Manager ('option' button) turns on but after the selection of the recovery disc the situation in almost the same thing - is to turn off the computer.
It is a very annoying problem because if I have problems I won't be able to fix my Mac...
I await your response.
If you do not already have a current backup, please backup all data, and then reinstall the OS. * you don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need the backup unless something is wrong. If the system has been upgraded an earlier version of Mac OS X, you may need to the Apple ID and password to use.
There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.
If you installed the runtime Java distributed by Apple, and still need, you will need to reinstall it. It goes the same for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
Related support article refers to OS X 10.11 ("El Capitan"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions.

Unable to connect after live password change and the airplane mode is on...
I have a huge dilemma here
I change my live password and before turning off my Surface RT was in airplane mode IT
Now when I try to log on my RT Surface, it is rejected with the message
Your PC is in offline mode. Please sign in with the last password used on this PC
But I'm trying with the old password and the message remains displayed
An advise please!
Hello again,
BitLocker can be the thing to aim for. Airplane mode is so new that there probably isn't much (if any) documentation on how to change these settings in command line.
I tried everything I could according to tiny knowledge I have of the technical aspect of the Surface RT
so I finally made a Reset which has no less then 02:45 hours to return with all the tweak, settings, installations and updates, I had on my Surface.
I'll never use this button to plane more until my Surface RT death even if I'm on a plane that will soon be passing. I prefer crashing somewhere than to have to redo this RESET the horror!
Hope one thing. Microsoft should listen to this carefully:
Do the airplane mode with any available behind the lock screen internet connectivity just before sign you so we can ensure that we're not stuck outside.
Oh yes you suggested to have another user as a Local account. Well, maybe, but let's say that a lot of people don't want to have another user on their Surface, even if it's to be safe outdoors. I don't even know if it would have saved my butt anyway. I have my lesson for good.
Mark this answer - Yes not exactly an answer that someone would want to read.

Cannot start the virtual machine on VMware Workstation 12.1.0
The host machine is W2008R2, VM is the same. When im trying to start the current VM I see VMware screen, then "download files" screen loading, then VMware loading new screen and etc.
Log file is attached below.
An update of the firmware could certainly help. After you install the update of the firmware, it can be useful following the instructions from the motherboard to reset the firmware configuration by default (if its configuration is not too heavily customized) and then reconfigure with custom settings, you might need. Check that you have disabled in your TXT firmware settings too... who's going to stop us from using the capabilities of VT - x from the host. And, where there is doubt, the error message is not really pleasant on cyclical food... Some systems cannot put a change of configuration of VT - x into force without being truly disconnected from power for a while, so if in case of doubt, he put it off and remove the power outlet for a few seconds.
Your CPU is certainly capable of VT - x and support all the VT - x features required by VMware Workstation... Simply to force the system to allowing the use of VT - x and then it should start to work well.
See you soon,.
