I'm currently running Win7 x64 on my Bootcamp partition. I'm wondering if there is any program/software that will allow me to utilize gestures, just like on the Mac OS side, for my Win7 partition? Basically, is there a BetterTouchTool program for Win7 on Bootcamp?
View 4 RepliesI've just myself a new 15inch MBP 2.8Ghz. I'm wondering if people know which graphics card Windows 7 will utilize under Bootcamp? I'm wondering because I think I'll be booting Windows for gaming.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe hand gestures on the Macbook Air tracpad is awesome. As I am getting familar with the hand gestures on the trackpad, I was wondering if there are ways to control windows. Below are some of the things I like to know if there are hand gestures for it: Minimize current windowMaximize current windowClose current windowIn Safari, close current tabIn Safari, move from one tab to the next
These are what I can think of it right now. It would be so nice if there hand gestures on the trackpad.

I have a boot camp Windows 7 installation that I also use with Parallels. When I have Windows running in Parallels, I can use my 3-finger gestures in Firefox to go forward and back, which is a feature I'm in love with. The problem is that when I boot directly into Windows I lose that feature, and it's really bugging me. Is there a program or even a firefox add-on that would fix this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a 15-inch MacBook Pro, the new unibody ones, and I installed Windows XP, using BootCamp.
I made it a 29 or so GB partition, so it used the FAT32 formatting.
The program I tried to install is the eyeQ speed reading program, and the laptop exceeds every single one of the recommended requirements.
The problem comes when I am attempting to install the program, I keep getting an error message in which it says "This program cannot run on a computer with less than 64 megabytes of ram."
Last time I checked my laptop has 4 GB of ram, and it says the same thing when I checked it while running Windows XP.
My only guess, which I made while typing this, was that I should have formatted the Windows partition using NTSF.
Or would the game only pick up the first card?

I have 2 new macs, (24 and 27), only 1 of which I use at a time. It is sinking into my consciousness that ScreenRecycler is the best way to utilize both computers, and to use the 24 as the second monitor, via ScreenRecycler. This is more apt, I think, than TelePort, which works dandy. I make books and I have InDesign on the main computer; and the toolbars, Photoshop, Excel, at al, on the second monitor. I copy and paste a whole lot, and Teleport is not appropriate for that.

I currently own one of the first iMacs built in 2006 that were originally built for the education sector. This model doesn't have a Bluetooth card so obviously I can't use any wireless peripherals with it. But my question is whether I can use my iPhone 4 as a substitute. Is there any way to pair the iPhone with my iMac and use it as a Bluetooth access point?I'm planning on getting a Magic Trackpad for it and I don't really want to buy an adapter if I can somehow do this.

A recent post on Wired Site made me think that the 27" iMac could really be the ultimate computer for the graphic professional and offices in the graphics field. I don't know if this theory was discussed or if it is actually possible but according to Apple, the new iMac can be used as an external monitor for another device. If you bought the 27" iMac Core i7 version and hooked it up to a MacPro as a render server, that's a lot more computer for little to no more additional work space.
Also, if this is possible, you could buy an iMac now and once you outgrow it you can still use it as a monitor for a Mac Pro and utilize the quad core for networked tasks like background rendering. Futher, if everyone in your office used a 27" iMac as a monitor (as it really is only about $100 less than the 30" cinema screen) and had a Mac Pro. You'd potentially have quite a networked renderfarm without actually taking up any more physical space in your office. That is if you can make it function that way.
I had a 2008 24 inch imac (3.06ghz C2D) and had some issues with it. First the hard drive failed, upon bringing it into the Apple store, they told me that they replaced the hard drive and screen (due to dust under it), however, this was not the case. What they had actually done is replace the entire unit and gave me a refurb which was previously registered to someone else (as evidenced by the registration info). A few months later, I had another issue, this time the logic board had failed and I once again had to lug this 20 pound beast through the largest mall in the city in order to get it to the Apple store (for the second time). I politely explained my discontent with this whole process, they did not inform me that the unit was a refurb and now it had failed yet again. Much to my surprise they offered me a replacement in the form of the i5 with a 1tb drive, 4 gigs of ram, the works. Now here is the problem: I was not given any of the included dvds as they do a "like-for-like" swap only. This is now an issue because I can not install Snow Leopard from the retail dvd, nor can I install Leopard from my previous iMac disks. In addition to this, I do not have the correct drivers for a boot camp install. Thus I am stuck if I ever need to reinstall Snow Leopard or if I need to utilize boot camp (which I do).

My notebook died and I'm in search for a new one and I'm considering the macbook.
The only question I have is, will it run every Windows program without any issues? I'm going to be using this for work. Besides your typical Office suite, I run AutoCAD, Adobe CS, Audio and Video editing and burning. And all the licenses are for Windows.
I just want to make sure I won't have any software issues before taking the leap.
I guess what I'm asking is, is Windows under an Apple hardware work exactly as Windows would?
I just started a new class and it involves the use of a program that needs Windows to run. I have no idea how I will be able to use it with a Mac. I asked my professor and he suggested installing Vmware. I did this and I don't know what to do because the disc still won't run. Does anyone know how I can get Windows on my Mac so I can run this program? I am not that savvy when it comes to computers.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI ran the bootcamp utility on my Macbookpro with no problems. Selected the first option for partition of 32Gb, ran the XP Pro SP2 disc and it never gave me the option to format... Obviously got a "disc error, press any key to continue" message since the drive is not "bootable." So I found a thread online that sent me to the XP site to discuss FAT32 issues. The drive can't be larger than 32Gb (which it shows 32,600 after the partition), so I deleted the part. and rebuilt it at 30Gb. Still didn't give me the option to format the drive! It shows the partitions, so I select the C:yatta-yatta-/bootcampwhatever , press enter and it starts installing... Any idea on how to force the XP setup program to allow me to format the silly partition?

I really want this Mac to work (I love my MacBook Pro), but I can't seem to load a piece of Windows software that I HAVE to be able to use. After I put the disc in I keep getting the same error message "The application failed to initialize properly (0x000135). Click OK to terminate." I have tried this same disc in a few pc's and it works fine.....so it has to be my new Mac. BTW the software is something I use that is specific to the funeral industry and the vendor does not support MAC, so I have to work this out on my own.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I just recently converted to all Mac. With that being said, I purchased a couple seasons of Mad Men via iTunes.
Now with music, I know you can burn the album to a cd and then import from cd to have a non-drm album. Not knowing, I've come to realize that you can't do this with videos.
I've read that you can backup your iTunes library on DVD, but I really don't want to do this all the time. I have my iTunes library on my ext hdd with a TM partition, but I don't want to rely on it (also my media is going to eventually outgrow that TM partition).
So, with that being said, I'm looking for a program that will re-record (or as others put it DRM stripping) the original untouched purchased video and give me a DRM free copy for backup.
Or, if there are any programs out there or methods of completely backing up iTune's purchased video, then I'm open ears.
