Thereis a volume knob on my keyboard but it doesn't work, however the mute and eject buttons work... any help?How do I change the volume in OS X using my keyboard?
you may need to download a driver for that key board i have a wireless logitech with my mac running 10.3.9 and a few of the internet searching features in my keyboard didnt work at first and i had to find a driver that would make it work being the cd that came with it only had .exe filesHow do I change the volume in OS X using my keyboard?
Try using those F'keys' I believe f11, or f12, or is it f9, just try that out...

How can I change from mac os x 10.3.9 to mac os x 10.4.1?

I want to change from 10.3.9 to 10.4.1 bacause it is compatible with the new ipod software. I tried to see if i can update it on apple downloads but i can't find it and i don't know if i'm able to. Am I suppose to buy new software? Can anyone give me suggestion, i have the old imac G5.How can I change from mac os x 10.3.9 to mac os x 10.4.1?
Hi...You can't update from Apple OS X3 to OSX 4, because each is a stand-alone operating system. Apple's OS X operating systems came out in this order: Jaguar (OS X), Panther (OS X.3) and then Tiger (OS X.4). Apple is soon to release Leopard, however sometimes it's better to wait until they get the bugs out before buying.



I run Tiger on my Mac G4, 500 MHz machine, and it runs great. So, it should run fine on your iMac G5.



You can buy it from Apple here: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/We



Or, you can buy it from eBay here:

Hope this helps :-)How can I change from mac os x 10.3.9 to mac os x 10.4.1?
If it isn't on Apple downloads I expect that means you need to buy new software. Try calling a customer service helpline or going into an Apple shop and asking about it.

  • Removing and installing os?

    Hai everyone. I want to know how to remove an os and install it. Pls tell me the correct procedure. And what are the drivers i need to install a os. Shall we download any os from internet? if yes, pls tell me the link.



    How can i format my system fully?

    How can i change only os without affecting other contents?



    Thanks in advance.Removing and installing os?
    This is far too complicated a series of questions. To format completely and install from scratch you need to have OS install disks that you can boot to. From there you can wipe your drive clean and start new.Removing and installing os?
    to reinstall windows without reformatting: if you are running windows just put in a windows CD and start it up and install normally without deleting anything, then you can delete the c:\windows folder afterwords and all done.



    to install with reformatting: just copy the files you want to keep to a usb key or external hard drive and when the windows installer asks, delete the partition and create it again.



    Or you could switch to ubuntu see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows it's free and has regular updates and a nicer interface and it will save you having to reinstall again and will make your computer better
    Put another OS CD in drive and restart the computer and it goes to setup window and it ask to install or not, click install choose that previous OS drive then click install it ask to format click yes and it format and contiunes the installation automatically.....................

    I want to change my vista os to xp os.. but how can i download xp drivers if my drivers are for vista?

    pls answer as soon as possibleI want to change my vista os to xp os.. but how can i download xp drivers if my drivers are for vista?
    Appears you you may have bought a computer with Vista that has no XP drivers whatsoever on their website for your model right? If thats the case, you don't downgrade to XP. If its new take it back and exchange it for an XP rig. Isn't an Emachine by any chance? Seems like none of them have XP drivers. I assume you have an XP OS disk and key right?I want to change my vista os to xp os.. but how can i download xp drivers if my drivers are for vista?
    You can buy XP but you will have to wipe the HD because windows is not backward compatable. There is no way to go from Vista to XP. But once the HD is wiped you can load XP.
    Driver for what?



    If you're using drivers that came with the device (usually on a CD), most of the time it includes drivers for XP as well.



    You can also download XP specific drivers from the manufacturer's website.
    Two drivers are critical. You will need the SATA drivers on a floppy. You may need the network card driver to reconnect to the internet.

    Go the manufacturers website, go into support, search on the model computer you have and download the XP drivers you need. These should be put on a CD.

    Be aware the you will need to erase your hard drive to do this cleanly - so make sure you have a copy of everything before you start.
    I've found this to be helpful and problem free.

    It will scan your system and locate the exact drivers you need to update automatically...



    Hope it helps you!

    Probably, your notebook is bundled with a SATA hard drive. If yes, then you need to disable SATA and then reinstall the retail version of OS.



    You can disable SATA from BIOS.



    FYI...If you are disabling SATA... you will not be able to enable it again... unless you reinstall the OEM version of Windows XP OS.Compaq presariov3000 help?
    Why would you waste your time on a laptop going from Home to Professional?



    You need to access your BIOS and make sure that your Hard Drive is configured properly.



    (XP will do the formatting for you after you find your hard drive.)

    I also have a Pressario R3000 and have done several reformattings on my hard drive so I will try not to steer you wrong on this.



    John's idea is okay but completely unnecessary. Your hard drive is installed properly as long as you haven't tweaked it. I would think that you haven't uninstalled xp home on your drive, which would give you an error similar to the one you are talking about. Use windows uninstaller by inserting the old disk and running startup while in the windows load screen. Here's a site that explains all the steps in both uninstalling and installing windows.

    http://www.winxpfix.com/page23-Uninstall
    you can do a clean install by inserting the disk and restarting your computer. go into the bios and configure the system to boot from cd. When the system boots from CD, it will enter setup directly and you should be able to install.

    How do you change icons in Mac OS X Leopard?

    I have a bunch of my dvds that I ripped to .mp4 on my computer. How can I change the icons from the default quicktime icon to the cover of the dvd box art? I know you can do it in iTunes, but I want the actual icons in finder to show the covers.How do you change icons in Mac OS X Leopard?
    That's very easy to do. Just select the image file or icon you want your file to have (the cover in this case) and copy it (Apple + C).



    Then select the file you want to have the icon and go to 'Edit' %26gt; 'Get Info' or simply select and press 'Apple + I'.



    Now you get the info of the file and all that. Click on the icon in the top left corner of the info window. Just one click and go to 'Edit' %26gt; 'Paste' or 'Apple + V'



    If everything is alright, you should now see the icon get changed to the one you copied. It's that simple. =) Go Mac!

    How to change NTFS to Mac os extended without formatting?

    Hi, I just bought an airport extreme today and I just knew that it does not support the ntfs. Is there a program (for mac) to convert the harddrive to mac os extended without formatting the harddrive? ThanksHow to change NTFS to Mac os extended without formatting?
    impossible, Max OS extended is a ';format type'; meaning that you need to format to get into that type. If you have files on the hard drive that you are worried about, i suggest backing them up somewhere else then do a format ;)How to change NTFS to Mac os extended without formatting?
    You can reformat the drive to HFS+ (';Mac OS Extended';) using the Disk Utility on your Mac. You'll find this in the /Applications/Utilities folder.

    How will Mac OS upgrade affect older graphics programs?

    I have an old Mac G4 that runs on OS 8.6--I am wanting to upgrade to OS X because I can't upload my Sony CyberShot camera, use my Lacie D2 DVD burner etc. on it. I'm not sure if I should, because I also have a bunch of older versions of programs like Quark Xpress 3.3, Photoshop 5.02 and Illustrator 8.0 that I don't want to lose--does anyone know if those will still work if I change the OS? Or does anyone know of software that will allow me to connect a new camera of burn discs in OS 8.6? ThanksHow will Mac OS upgrade affect older graphics programs?
    Generally, a non-Intel Mac (G3, G4 %26amp; G5) running OS X will have no problem running ';Classic'; (those written to run under pre-OS X OSes) apps. They run under an emulation of OS 9.2.2.

    What are the system requirements for Linux? + ease of use?

    I have a laptop that is the following:

    256mb RAM

    Pent 3

    9gb HD

    IBM thinkpad a21m

    Windows 2000 installed on it



    1. Is this enough?



    2. How long will it take to boot up?



    3. I don't have admin access on my pc - can I still install OVER

    windows 2000?



    4. I have never used linux - how easy is it? I only intend to use it for internet, chat.



    5. Is Ubuntu for me?



    6. Am I missing anything?



    7. Will a netgear card work with it? Or will I need to run a wire?



    8. The resolution is really really low - so low it is almost unworkable with. Will the new OS change that or does it have to do with the hardware?



    I am sure I will have more questions, will post later :)

    http://www.ubuntu.com.



    It is as easy or easier than windows. You do have a limit of software that can be run but that is changing. Linux, unlike windows, is not Bloatware and runs with minimal resources. I had linux loaded on a PII with 256 mb ram and 20gb drive.....takes about 1 minute or so to load......get more ram and things will move MUCH faster.



    Also, you can get ';Wine'; which is a package that will allow you to run windows applications under the Linux OS.



    Go ahead......plenty of help on online forums and newsgroups and on their site!



    Linux is not for the geeks anymore!What are the system requirements for Linux? + ease of use?
    Linux will work great on that box. Boot time is very close to the same. Ubuntu is a great system, but Mepis has taken it a step further in that it looks and feels very much like windows, but it's very stable (no blue screen of death). don't get viruses yet. many, many programs for linux and they cost nothing, now or ever. Open Office.org is a very close program to Microsoft Office and it comes with Mepis, again for free. Try it I use Simply Mepis 6.5 and love it. I have been a Linux user for 3 years and I don't miss Microsoft one bit... Now be aware, there are only a few windows games and programs that will work with Linux. But there are many Linux games to choose from, and again, free. If I can be of further help contact me by e-mail through Yahoo

    For some reason, Hardy got rid of the ';vga=xxx'; boot parameter. You should edit GRUB to add a ';vga=xxx'; to the kernel line, where ';xxx'; is the Linux video mode number.

    Don't waste your time. Just get Windows 7 and upgrade your Vista installation to 7.



    7 requires less resources, looks prettier, and runs games better than both Vista and XP.I have 1 partition and im about to create another one ...i want to run 2 Os at the same time...help?
    Yep, got it in one, make sure you format the new partition, not the one with Vista :)
    You can't just ';create partitions'; it depends on your hard disk space and what the current partitions occupy.
    When you insert the genuine XP cd at bootup, you can choose where to install it.



    Simply create a formatted partition and install it there.



    Once installed youll have the option of what OS to use



    Good luck!

    HOW TO STOP P2P Software????

    Hi



    The P2P is illegal.

    How the RIAA or the supreme court can technicly erase p2p from the surface?



    By change OS like windows to stop the software code?

    physicaly trace %26amp; Unplug the server?



    I hear that now software like limewire are not in a central server.

    True?



    Thank You!HOW TO STOP P2P Software????
    If you want to block P2P software from your network, just block all ports on your router except

    FTP TCP 20-21

    HTTP TCP 80

    HTTPS TCP 443

    DNS UDP 53

    SMTP TCP 25

    POP3 TCP 110

    Ping ICMP 8

    Telnet TCP 23



    You may want to open other ports for other services (instant messenger, etc.)



    For the rest of the people on the internet, it will be hard to stop them since many people don't understand the risks of file sharing, spyware, viruses, and the rest of the ';bad internet';.



    Some people put up advertising files ';get a free ipod... go here'; with the same title of a popular song. Bit Torrent is the most common type of file sharing, probably because it's fast, and distributes a lot of legal files (e.g. Linux, podcasts, etc.). Although there are probably more illegal uses of bit torrent (Pirate Bay, etc.)



    Skype is a P2P application that is instant voice/video/text communication. P2P itself is legal, the copyrighted content distribution is illegal.



    A lot of new software (such as Limewire) evades copyright laws by not storing files on their servers. P2P will continue even throughout new versions of windows. The only way to stop it would be for Internet Service Provider (ISP) to scan each packet of data that travels through it and to bloc all P2P packets.



    A way to get around ISP blocking is encryption. ISPs can not block all encrypted encryption but they can limit it's speed. The perfect ISP would:



    Block all P2P default ports

    Scan all packets and block P2P packets

    Detect ports that P2P traffic is coming from and block them

    Slow down all encrypted traffic



    This, however would make many people upset and they would switch companies. Therefore, ISPs don't do everything they can do to prevent p2p (some just slow down default ports and bit torrent traffic).



    Unfortunately, the RIAA or the Supreme court can do just about nothing (except sue everybody) for their activities.



    In short:

    The RIAA or the Supreme Court will never erase P2P from the surface.

    No (Os change will do nothing)

    Yes (that happened to the Pirate Bay)

    Yes (limewire does not use a central server)HOW TO STOP P2P Software????
    Hello Corey Q,



    What do you think of the company called safemedia.com. They claim that blocking ports and IPs wont stop P2P. And Firewalls can not stop encrypted stuff.

    Report Abuse


    The p2p programs are not illegal...it's the content that people share is illegal..
    Technically the act of using Limewire/Kazaa/Morpheus or any other P2P file sharing system IS PERFECTLY LEGAL. However, the act of sharing copyrighted music is what the authorities will prosecute for, as you are allowing other users to download something which they should pay for, for free.



    The act of downloading music which is being shared by other users, is illegal, however the authorities will prosecute those who are sharing a ';significant amount of music'; - like drugs they will go after the DEALERS not the USERS.

  • Upgrading: Hard Drive & RAM?

    I've just ordered RAM -max 256MB and 30GB hard drive for my 10 year Compaq Presario. Three things: Do have to update drivers/bio and if so how? Do I have to format the hard drive? I plan to change OS 98 to XP as well. Thanks so much for any info you can provide.Upgrading: Hard Drive %26amp; RAM?
    No you don't.



    Updating from 98 to XP would require a reformat.



    256ram is still very low.Upgrading: Hard Drive %26amp; RAM?
    go for 80/160 GB Hard disk and 512 MB RAM this will make you more happy and system stable.you can directly upgrade your machine from windows 98 to windows xp ( no need to format , insert the cd select upgrade option and follow the instructions on screen).
    You probably won't have to update your BIOS if your current BIOS supports those specs. If you need to, it depends on who makes your chipset. You shouldn't have to format the new hard drive yourself, XP setup should be able to do that for you.
    no there are no drivers that have to be updated. when you switch from 98 to xp you will have to format the drive but if your getting a new hd then just install xp and make a partition
    It is much cheaper and easyer to buy a new computer you cant really run xp with just upgrades hd and ram you must have new motherboard to run it efficiently

    Hi i bought a laptop with a 4gb ram .I later changed the os it came with it now shows that i have 3gb?

    the os it came with was vista home premium and i changed it to vista ultimate. How do change it back to 4gb Hi i bought a laptop with a 4gb ram .I later changed the os it came with it now shows that i have 3gb?
    What you've done is installed a 32-bit Operating System. For your laptop to recognise 4GB of RAM you need to install a 64-bit Operating System.Hi i bought a laptop with a 4gb ram .I later changed the os it came with it now shows that i have 3gb?
    Hello,



    It seems you have a 64-bit Laptop. The Vista Home Premium that came with it was probably 64-bit, so it recognized the ram. The Vista Ultimate however is mostly likely 32-bit, which will run on your computer, but can only recognize up to 3gb of ram. Your best bet, if you want to use that ram, is to buy a 64-bit OS, or go back to your original



    Ah, it seems micksmixxx got to it before I did
    Did you install the 64-bit version of Vista Ultimate? 4GB of RAM can only be accessed by a 64-bit operating system. If the OS is the 32-bit version you will only see 3 to 3.5 GB of RAM. I believe Vista Ultimate comes with both the 64-bit and 32-bit version on either the same disk or in the same package. Try reinstalling the OS and make sure you use the 64-bit version.
    If you installed a 32-bit Operating System 3gb to 3.5gb is the max amount of memory. You can buy a 64Bit Os, then your 4Gb will show. Or you can use the recovery disk supplied with you laptop this will place the previous OS on the laptop again.
    micksmixxx appears to be right: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archive

    hello there thinking of changing over to linux my pc it hp a1629.uk

    all drivers for xp and exe files if i was to change os how would i install drivers??Linux hp a1629.uk driver help?
    for the most part, you don't have to install drivers like in windows. all the drivers you need are in the install dvd. and whatever linux version you use will automatically install your drivers for you. unless you have a really new peripheral, everything should work out of the box.



    for a multimedia version of linux, try mandriva.Linux hp a1629.uk driver help?
    Linux has all the drivers you need for the pc itself, to be sure .. download a live cd of the flavour of linux you want to run and try it. - If it runs as a live cd then it'll run when installed.

  • How to change my vista os to xp?

    vista os just prevents the other os cds from booting.

    pl help friendsHow to change my vista os to xp?
    WRONG! Vista doesn't prevent any other OS CDs from booting, which makes me believe you're just dumb instead.



    XP has lots of problems with newer hardware and is an inferior OS. That's your real problem.How to change my vista os to xp?
    Vista really do so. When you have a new upgraded window, then it prevent you from loading old os. SO , what you have to do is to insert the cd and check that run from cd mode is enabled in CMOS and follow on the instruction simply then.
    Try loading xp service pack 3 professional cd

    it will be great to replace vista

    ordinary xp will not be work at all.



    It will be accepted by vista
    U cant downgrade from vista to xp as in opposite of Upgrade.

    The solution is get a bootable XP cd %26amp; follow these steps...

    (Backup any data before u do this)

    1.Enter bios %26amp; set primary boot device as cd/dvd rom drive.

    2.Insert disc %26amp; restart system

    3.When it starts booting from cd/dvd choose new install

    4.Format the drive partition using the tool provided in the disc

    (this option will be given during the install)

    5.Now u can finish installation.
    Before you start, here are a few things you should have on hand:



    Copy of the XP Installation disk

    Boot disk ( more information below)

    Make sure you back-up all your important files as you will be reformatting the hard drive.

    The following are instructions for those that upgraded their computer from XP to Vista and would now like to remove Vista from their computer.



    Step 1. Start up your computer with the Windows XP installation disk in the CDROM drive



    Step 2. The setup screen will appear. Type R to repair an existing installation



    Step 3. Now type the following: fixboot C:\ (it should be noted that C is the drive which has Vista loaded. If another drive is the one with Vista, use the corresponding letter)



    Step 4. Type fixmbr C:\



    Step 5. Type EXIT



    Step 6. You can now close your Windows XP setup. Once closed, restart your computer with the bootable floppy or CD that was mentioned before. You can create a bootable CD by downloading specific files at the following site:



    http://www.bootdisk.com



    Step 7. Once your bootdisk is loaded, you will be at the command prompt. Type the following: format C:\ (This will erase your entire hard drive so make sure all important data is backed up)



    Step 8. Insert your Windows XP installation CD into your CDROM and restart the computer.



    Step 9. Follow the prompts and install Windows XP as usual. Once complete, Vista will no longer be your operating system and you will have successfully reinstalled Windows XP.

    Question about using MS Terminal Services?

    Ok here is what I want to do. I want to have one machine set up as the terminal server preferably running windows XP Pro or Home. Then I want to use it as the Terminal server on the network. The terminal machines I want to run a network boot with no HDD on the machine at all. Can this be done. If so please give me some ideas how this would be set up. If I have to change OS on the server what is the best option? If it can't be done give a reason better than ....';Well because I'm an idiot and I can't do it dduuuhhhhhh!';Question about using MS Terminal Services?
    The terminal server machine has to be setup as a server, not a workstation. It has to be able to support multiple connections and requests from the terminal nodes. You will need ';server class'; hardware specs.



    I've setup terminal services in a LAN on a Win2000 server. I'm not sure about using XP as a server. It could work, but to be safe, I'd suggest Win2000 or Win2003 server.



    As for the terminal nodes, unless you use specialised hardware terminals, I'm not sure you can boot up from the network without a lot of heavy-duty customisation. Even if you provide designated space on the server for the o/s and individual config files, how would you setup the computer hardware to access the server with no login and authentication?



    Try linux.Question about using MS Terminal Services?
    You can't use no-HDD machines unless you buy specific thin-client devices which have Windows OS built into their flash memory.



    You can use PCs as thin-clients, but they still need a HDD so you can install Windows OS on them.

  • How can I change my laptop OS from Vista to Xp?

    I have a VGN-FZ190 sony Laptop.

    I already Tried All the ways and still couldnt find some way to do it.

    It keeps says there is no hard disk on your system(which means i need a third party disk to do so).

    so i got all the drivers especially sata drive but i donno how to use that driver to identify the hard disk and continue to install it.

    so what should I do???How can I change my laptop OS from Vista to Xp?
    When installing Windows XP, the initial stage of the install, when it begins loading drivers, will prompt you to press a key if you need to load a third party driver. At that point, you should load the SATA driver.How can I change my laptop OS from Vista to Xp?
    As long as you have the initial drivers to the hardware I believe you'll be fine.



    If you want to install XP get your XP (Home, Pro) boot disk and put it in. Changed BIOS to boot from CD as the priority over the harddisk. This should get you started.



    If you need to install the dirvers to you SATA drive, just autorunning the driver CD should give you steps or a wizard to install the right drivers. Also the device manager should allow you to update the drivers.



    Let me know.
    well the system will not allow you to install a older version of windows. you will need to reformat your harddrive first.

    How do you change your mac OS (X) to Vista?

    How would you go about changing it? I need step by step help :D.

    I have a Vista reinstallation disk from when buying my vista computer..will I be able to use that?



    Also is there any way to get the Mac OS X back after i install vista?



    thanks for your help! :DHow do you change your mac OS (X) to Vista?
    Just run boot camp from Mac OSX... It will tell you what to do step by step.



    But, you can't use your recovery disc... The recovery disc is set to be used with only the type of computer it came with.



    You can buy an OEM (version without the fancy box and without the big instruction manual) version of Vista from the link below, but I'd wait until Windows 7 came out.



    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/



    You can search for the other versions of Vista on that site as well.



    After installing Vista, you will be able to boot up with Windows OR Mac. It will ask you when you first boot up.

    How to retrieve my original os from windows?

    Can I retrieve windows vista OS online and tranfer it back to the original laptop. My problem is some person who I trusted to fix a problem I had with my LT changed the OS from vista to xp and now I can,t hear my audio speakers.How to retrieve my original os from windows?
    Maybe because that person didn't install the drivers for the audio hardware.

    You will still experience that problem if you change your OS to vista, until then you should find the drivers.How to retrieve my original os from windows?
    If you don't have the installation DVD for Vista, then you can't install it. If the person that changed the OS for Vista to XP did not load the XP drivers, then you will not have sound. You can check at the computer manufacturer's web site to see if there are any XP drivers for your computer. If there are, just download and install the ones for your system. That should solve the sound problem.



    Downgrading an operating system is not a good idea until you have done the research. Many of today's computers are not backwards compatible with older drivers.

    dont install xp on a computer manufactured for vista (oem)
    First poster has is the wrong way around.....



    If you dont care about any data on it or programs, just put in the XP CD and reboot, press any key when it says, then off you go. delete all partitions and create a new one, format it (quick will do) and off you go.



    Before deleting everything and while you have the internet, get at least the driver for your network card or modem so once youre in XP you can get straight on the net and download all your other drivers.



    If you want to keep anything that's on it make sure you back it up to CD or DVD or and external drive first.
    1st i would recommend you to back up all your data, download drivers for your laptop for xp. (since its vista preloaded it will not have drivers for xp) and then install xp.
