I’m going to Architecture Engineering university this year n I’ve recently bought a HP Pavilion dv5-1135ee entertainment laptop and it challenges in specs with Mac Notebooks.
my laptop came with preinstalled Windows Vista home premium, n i’m afraid that the UNIVERSITY might say no…

Can I install Mac OS X on my laptop alongside the Windows Vista in order to run Architecture-Oriented softwares?
In which I can use both OSs side by side without crashing my brand new laptop

and how?
I’ll be greatly thankful and honourful if someone can guide me..

thanx

I really need to start organising revision notes etc. I didn’t read the book originally, so I have set myself a target I must meet everyday, which means I should finish it in three days. I am going to keep re-reading it like this. I have also bought a notebook so I can like.. make my own revision guide and I have bought some revision cards. Can anyone help me with sections I should do? And revision tips in general? My exam is in six weeks so hopefully I have left myself with enough time to get organised.

In the Dark
By Me
It was a cold winter night when Misty Curtis flung herself onto her soft bed. She hurriedly grabbed the nearby notebook and jotted down all she could remember from that day. She had kept these journals for years and thought she’d never stop. Remembering the party she had just come from, she, let her hand wiz over the paper and bent her head a tad to get a better look at what she was writing. Her thick, wavy Brown hair draped over her shoulder and every once in a while she would look up from her work and run her fingers through it smoothly. She joined her top lip with the lower one and gently rubbed them together, concentrating on her hand. Her fingers ached from discomfort of the rough pencil and she rubbed them. After she finished her routine of journaling she stood up and smoothed out the wrinkles of the glossy comforter that flowed over her bed. Misty loved her bed. Whenever she’d look at its excellence, it’d make her feel…so relaxed and satisfying. She would look at it and want to lift into the air like an angel and slowly land into its sponge. Her parents had bought her the mattress a year before she was a teenager. She now had it for two years and loved to wrap herself in a warm blanket and surrender to its large fluff. Daydreaming in the double bed was getting to know her even better. She lay there idly and thoughts corrupted her mind and she no longer was in this world she knew so well. She was in the world of her own fantasy and carried on with her daily inauguration the way she had dreamt it was. Creation was very interesting in her opinion and to her delight was fun to make up other ways it could have happened. She knew it was juvenile, but to her surprise, she didn’t care. She was so fond of animals and life her imagination took her to places she had never been before. Places the world never even heard of. And it all existed happily in her awareness.
Misty Curtis’ father, Andrew, was a very wealthy man. He bought Misty whatever she wanted when she was little. He tried to now but Misty was becoming more independent and wanted to earn money herself. She was almost fifteen and could drive steadily. When she first tried all around her seemed to fade as she would concentrate only on driving. Andrew was sitting in the passenger seat guiding her through the process of parking the car in the driveway and unfortunately Misty was completely unconscious of which pedal was accelerate and which was break. He tried to explain but, predictably, she wouldn’t listen. She already started the car and pushed the break and the car wouldn’t go. To his surprise, Misty, confused at how the car would not go, turned the reverse on and tried the other pedal. The car darted and smashed into the garage door before Andrew could do anything to stop it. The car was crushed pretty badly and Misty’s reputation of driving was turned from unknown to appalling.
Misty’s memories of that day were ghastly and unpleasant so she tried not to think about it. But a year after the incident Misty could drive constantly without hesitation. Her father finally regained his trust and let her get her take Driver’s Ed. The process was over and she now only waited for the delight of getting her permit.
Interrupting her daydreaming Misty remembered that she was not yet fully ready for the night. This meant she could no longer trance and delay sleep any longer.
Minutes later, she came back completely ready for her captivation of the marvelous bed. As she lay there, in complete darkness all except for the light of the air, her dreams enthralled her and she listened to them slowly whispered faintly into her ear and she desired to breathe the way the dreams made her feel. Like a fresh stream that bubbled into her presence and tempts her to lay in it and relax while the cool water caressed and pleased her. Her eyes closed lazily and her mind shut down for the night and the temptation of the stream had overcome as she dreamed.

I would have to make this cd by myself when I on it first time but I did not it that time can I make window back up cd now there is alos a recovery disk creation option will i have to use this option and I asked same question with hp helper and they replied me…….as I would request you to reinstall the windows either through recovery partition if recovery partition has been shipped with the Notebook by performing the below mention workaround.

1. Press the power button to turn on the PC, and press F11 on the keyboard immediately while the computer is starting up. The HP Backup and Recovery Manager window will appear.

2. Click advanced options, select the System recovery option, and then click next.

3. If the Recovery Solution can access the hard drive it displays a prompt to backup up user files before continuing the recovery. You may either backup your files, or skip the backup and recover the operating system.

4. If the Recovery Solution cannot access the hard drive to fix the system errors, use the set of Recovery disks that you created to recover the hard drive to its original condition.

Note: – Personal data and software you have installed on the notebook will be lost during the OS reinstall. HP recommends that you make a backup copy of all personal data before beginning this process. HP is not responsible for any data loss.

Regarding dual boot operating system I would also need to inform you that HP does not recommend dual boot of operating system.

but I m still confused I m not that clear is anybody know and has done this thing so plz guide me step by step easily plz i will be ve

OK I will be honest, I have NO idea what a wireless card does on a notebook. I believe it’s for connecting to the internet without wires, right? Anyways, My buddy had a laptop too, and he can connect in places where I can’t because my computer does not register a connection. Now, Is there something I can buy for my laptop to get more signal in places where I usually do not have any? Or is there a way to make my own connection to the internet? If so, can someone guide me through the steps? Also, if you can answer ALL three of these questions, you’ll get a whopping 10 points!

I really want to buy a 13′ macbook pro but I checked the Mac Buyers’ Guide and it said that I should wait because it seems that Apple will soon come up with an update for the Mac book Pro. However, after studying the patterns of update, I find that most of the time the updates only affects the MBP 15′ and 17′ and not the 13′. Is this true? Should I wait for the next update (which could be in one or two months) or should I just purchase the 13′ straight away as I am notebook-less right now. TQ!

I just bought a new notebook (on which I am typing write now), and I am trying to copy my Nano music files to the blank iTunes library installed on this computer. Apple does make it an unnecessarily painful process. So apparently I can only sync music from library to player but not the reverse. I suppose it’s their attempt to stop the proliferation of pirated music within their system, irrelevant. I notice now there is an option to transfer songs purchased from Apple and only Apple. A.) This process did not work the three times I tried it B.) The music purchased through iTunes is a small fraction of my total library. I read some guides via Google but it seems they are outdated to the new version of iTunes. How do I copy my iPod library to a blank iTunes library?

More than anything else, I want the laptop to last a few years under normal to heavy use, and the laptop case to protect the motherboard and electronics from excessive flex, and offer good resistance to warping and cracking, case-joints loosening and separating, keys coming off, buttons sticking, etc.

What’s the least amount of money I’ll need to spend?

I’m thinking around 0 – 0 and hoping this will be enough; I’m willing to shop new, refurbished, or gently-used if a good deal turns up.

I also MUCH prefer a matte screen (not glossy), screen size between 12 and 14", sturdy/tactile/ergonomic keyboard, and weight under about 6 lbs (if possible).

Don’t need a GPU, Bluetooth, or other bells and whistles, and looks/styling are a relatively low priority.

I’ve done a bit of research, and thus far the standout candiates, in terms of basic overall perfomance per dollar, seem to be:

* Dell Latitude E6400 / D830 / D820

* IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T400 / T61 / T60

Going back a "generation" includes refurbished units or gently-used "cream-puffs" (which may be necessary given my budget constraints??).

My impression is that either one of these lines are good bets, and that both offer good customer support (correct me if I’m wrong or naive here).

Am I overlooking any other worthy candidates? I know Panasonic makes their Toughbook, but I don’t think I want/need quite that much of a "tank".

[...and IF I were willing to consider a "well-engineered" plastic case, if such a thing exists -- what other choices might I have, how much $ savings could I realize, and what models would you recommend?]

I am 15 and at senior school so I want a laptop the will be good for schoolwork, but It needs to have enought memory ram etc. so that it does not clog up and slow down once I store my music, videos, games etc. on it the problem is that my parents have given me a small price range (no more than £1,500) which, when I need all these features may not be enough. it doesn’t have to be strong but, knowing me, I will probably drop it or spill something on it and something like the "toughbook" from rock would be ideal if it wasn’t so pricey. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS???!!!???

…i.e. programs starting up on the toolbar on the right side, next to the clock.

I use a Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 laptop. It has a cool handwriting application because the computer has a touch-screen. However, I have a dual monitor setup and I don’t need programs like that starting when I start the computer. I swear I’ve seen the menu that controls these programs before but I can’t remember where it is.

Also, is there a way for it to, say, automatically open firefox to a specific web page upon start up? I have a free anti-virus program and I have to manually download virus definition updates.

IT’S STILL OK/WITH MANY OF MY VIDEO AND MUSIC FILES

Obviously I can’t open the 2nd HD cos there’s no OS to open it.

My options are:

1st – Buy a IDE to USB cable, transfer filles from internal WD HD to my notebook (after clearing all files in notebook to my EXT WD HD)

2nd – Install Win XP Pro into the Internal WD HD without deleting existing files.

My question is, if I choose the 2nd option, what are the step by step guide? I haven’t done it before. I am still frantically searching for the Win Xp Pro CD. I didn’t know where I put it. Any of you can lend me?

Any of you could help in giving me the step by step guide?

20 Reasons Why I Need a Macbook Pro

1.Macs are more reliable. In the past 8 months my computer has had to have the Os re-installed 4 times, 3 for hard drive problems and 1 for a virus. Mac’s are very reliable machines according to consumer reports, and multiple reviews online such as C-net, Notebook reviews, Consumer reports, ECT. Mark the Mac book pro as a very good Computer, better than a PC.
2.Macs Run windows to! On a Macbook Pro I Can Run Windows as well as Mac OS X through Boot Camp. So in way I will get the best of both worlds I can run Mac OS X for internet and video editing and music editing, then I can run Windows Vista for Games, Office, and Windows Exclusive programs I might need.
3.I Know How to Use Macs. I can use a Mac much better than a PC. I was taught how to use them in elementary school. Right down to how to use all of the Mac office programs.
4.No Viruses! On Macs there are no viruses, which means that I can /surf the web with confidence my computer is safe.
5.If my Mac breaks no problem! With Apple care I can call Apple and my problem is fixed either by an apple expert helping me through it our by sending my computer to apple. Were as with a PC if it breaks Basically your screwed, first you have to find the problem, then call support then figure out how to fix it, then try do to do all of the things that you have no clue on how to do. No no no no with a Mac I call apple and since Macs are so simple with a description of my problem I have an answer.
6.A Mac Will Help Me in School. Last year I had 12 late or missing essays and research assignments because my computer was broken. On a Mac if it breaks I just send it to apple and in a few days I get a new computer for free. But it takes weeks to fix a PC.
7.They Last Forever!!!!!! On a Mac the Requirements to run software are very slim, the average life of a Mac is about 5 years compared to the 2 year life of a PC.
8.I can Use a Mac for Everything!!! Since Macs run Windows and Mac OS X there is no such thing as incompatible software.
9.You May Say at This Point “I am Convinced you need a Mac, But why a Macbook pro?” Well a Macbook pro is a notebook, which means I can use it anywhere. For example what if I have a huge report I have to do over the weekend but we are going to grandmas house, well I could take my Macbook pro and I could work on a report, and study for a test with a preloaded study guide.
10.I will get A’s on my report Card. With a Mac there are no viruses and they are notably reliable so there is no excuse of my computer had a virus, or the “it was broken” excuse. A Macbook pro will help me excel in school and in extra activities I do such as movie making and video games and there is guitar learning software.
11.Since I will be using the computer I should get the computer I want to use. What you guys have to remember is that the next computer I’m going to get will be my computer, so in that case I should get the computer that I want to use, not the one that you want me to use.
12.If I get the Macbook pro I will have enough space on my desk to do other things. Such as homework, or work. Right now my desk is too crowded with CRT monitors to do work; well a laptop would take care of that.
13.There is a brand new update. An update came out on June 5th which means that I will get the most advanced technology now.
14.A Macbook pro is the most powerful notebook and most powerful Mac other than the Mac pro.
15.I have two lives. If I came home from school one day and I found my computer broken my dell, I would have to wait for dad to fix it. But with a Mac I can run Windows and OS X so if OS X dies I can use windows because it uses a separate portion of the hard drive, and vise versa.
16.Apple is the only company that makes the software and the hardware. On a Mac the software is made to use all of the advantages of the hardware. Were as on a PC the software is made to be used on 100 companies computers
17.All the programs I use and want to use are on Mac. I use iTunes and that’s a program designed for Mac. I cant use iMovie, or Logic.
18.A new OS is about to be released. Leopard is about to be released, with many more features than tiger.
19.I can use .mac. .mac is a net based e-mail and web page publisher and internet storage. With many other features.
20.Macs just work. Macs are so simple a caveman can use them, they work so well, and they are so easy to use that you can use it to learn languages, or to learn how to play an instrument. They just work, were as with a PC needs to have lessons to learn how to use it.

With a Macbook pro I can just do everything and have everything work. Reasons 1-20 are the reasons I need a Macbook pro.
oh yeah and btw im not asking people about the classic mac or windows im asking if my list is good, dont answer if your gonna say something such as "buy a pc instead"

Old iMac runs 10.3.2 (kind with CRT built into housing). I tried to use a DWL-2100 AP connected to the ethernet port of the iMac. I made the DWL-2100 AP in the same IP range as the 2wire AT&T gateway. I assigned the proper IPs and subnets to the ethernet port on the iMac making sure not to use reserved IPs. The IP scheme is Class C. I used my panasonic toughbook to set up the AP and verify its operation. I set the AP into "AP Client Mode". The 2wire gateway sees the AP and can see the device behind it. The toughbook works just fine with the AP but the iMac does not. What can I do other than running Cat 5e to get the iMac connected to the 2wire gateway? What equipment might I need? I have a Hawking AP that will do Bridge mode. Will the wireless bridge work to connect the iMac to the 2wire gateway?
The going rates on a compatible Apple Airport card is more than a new computer. I need a solution that doesn’t require the install of a adapter that might not work.

Last to last night I bought a new HP G60-230US notebook PC. I am having some technical difficulties with the product. Every time I turn it on a message pops up saying the windows has stopped working or the host product has stopped working. When I am in the middle of something the notebook restarts on its own and all I can see is this blue screen saying the windows hasn’t been shutdown properly. I called the HP technical service. I did what they told me to do and still the same errors are coming. So what should I do next.. should I simply return the product and grab a different product or should I exchange it for a same product. Please guide me someone.

Thanks
