Hi All,
I have a client with an older Macbook Pro.  She wants to give the computer to another person.  I have removed the OS in the  macOS Recovery console.  When I got to Reinstall Yosemite, it prompts to enter an Apple ID/PW.  I have tried entering the current owner's Apple ID/PW, but will not let me download the OS.

I have tried:
-Also in the Recovery Console, I have gone to help, logged into iCloud using my client's credentials, then reverting back to the above steps, but still no luck.

Question:
How can I reinstall Yosemite onto the Mac?

Good afternoon,

I am trying to deploy VDP in my Vcenter Contingency and the moment to finish the deployment I get the following error message, preventing the installation.

Please check the attached file to validate the error.

Any comment on that.

Hello,

I have a couple Windows 7 PC's that are connected via USB to HP Scanjet 5590 PC's.  I installed the latest HP Drivers and TWAIN drivers.  I then configured the HP Scanning software so that when you push a button on the scanner, your documents scan and email automatically.  However, every time the PC is rebooted I need to reinstall / repair the  TWAIN driver.  Once I take that step, everything works until I reboot again.  I'm thinking it might be related to the Windows acquisition service, but I'm willing to listen to all ideas

Thoughts?

I have reinstalled Windows 10 from media a few times on one computer. After the first reboot it does not find the windows installation. There is one SATA drive in the computer.

I boot up from the DVD and go to command prompt. I have tried:

Diskpart – list disk – select disk 0 – list partition – select partition 3 – Active.  That returns “The ACTIVE command can only be used on fixed MBR disks.”

I tried converting to MBR and reinstalled but no luck.

Diskpart  - list disk - select disk 0 - clean

bootsect /nt60 c: /force /mbr  -   bootrec /fixmbr -   bootrec /fixboot -  bootrec /rebuildbcd

When I list partitions, I have:
Partition 1 – system – 100 meg
Partition 2 – reserved 16 meg
Partition 3  - Primary – 465 gig
Partition 4 - recovery – 450 meg

Been install OS’s since DOS 3.0 and never had this much trouble.  I’m still wondering why format is not an obvious option during install like it was in all previous versions of Windows.

I am looking to setup project server in conjunction with a current installation of sharepoint 2016.  Through the Microsoft website I found a trial installation at https://products.office.com/en-us/project/enterprise-project-server where it says "Try Project server with SharePoint 2016".  When I click on that it appears it wants to download SharePoint 2016.  

Does anyone have experience with this?

hi,

Now I am getting ready to install MariaDB (fork of MySQL ) Galera Cluster, what I want to install is the latest edition from Redhat linux repository.

from: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/what-is-mariadb-galera-cluster/

the most stable one should be MariaDB 10.2.7 , is that right?

I'd like to list down the steps I will take and please suggest if there are anything missing for version 10.2.7 :

from :https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/yum/#installing-mariadb-galera-cluster-with-yum , it said:

"Galera Cluster is included in the default MariaDB packages from 10.1, so the instructions in this section are only required for MariaDB 10.0 and MariaDB 5.5."

so I just need to do:

1) sudo yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client

this one should not need :
sudo yum install MariaDB-Galera-server MariaDB-client galera

as this is for MariaDB 10.0.x or below, right?

2) when do I need this mariaDB.repo ? when the first time I install MariaDB package ? before  step 1 )  above ?

"# MariaDB 10.2 RedHat repository list - created 2017-08-07 04:53 UTC
# http://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/
[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.2/rhel7-ppc64le
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck=1"

3)
after installation done by step 1) , do this to start the MariaDB cluster DB:

sudo systemctl start mariadb

4) after that, do I need to Importing the MariaDB Signing Key ?

sudo rpm --import …

I've developed a Visual Basic application on a Windows 10 Pro Computer.  I have created the setup/installation using Indigo Rose Setup Factory.  
When I try to install the application on a Windows 10 Home computer the application fails to run.  Why?

What files must be included in the installation?

All the exes & dlls in the Release folder has been included in the setup.

If I install the app on another Windows 10 Pro computer it works fine.

I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite S55. Recently the hard drive crashed BIG TIME.  Obviously I'll need to replace it.

I hate to say this, but it seems that I do not have a backup for everything on the drive, just programs and data that I saved to an external hard drive.

The computer came with the Windows 7 built-in, no installation disk.  Is the OS ON the crashed and worthless drive or is it stashed away someplace else on the computer so recovery is possible? There's a permanently attached label on the bottom with a Microsoft product key on it.

So I had to install a fresh brand new empty hard drive on my laptop.  It does not recognize anything, so I'm trying to install some drivers.  Specifically the WiFi driver so that I can run an HP utility that should update all drivers.  I've also tried to download some USB drivers, because none of the USB ports are working.

I tried to install the drivers from the HP website and nothing is still working.  It looks like other non-HP websites are selling drivers for my laptop, but it doesn't seem like I'd need to pay for these and I'm also concerned about viruses from these non-HP companies.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Hello,
A user asked me to install Project pro 2013 in her computer that has  office pro 2013 installed already. I have purchased the project license key in one of this site where you can download the .exe installation software and enter the key at the end.
The installation stops with the error 1706 saying:" Error 1706. Setup cannot find the required files. Check your computer connection to the network, or CD ROM Drive....." (see pic attached).
Note that:
I tried to fix office pro 2013  (already installed) but that did not fix the problem
The installation works fine in other PCs in the same network
I tried to disabled the antivirus as well as firewall, but that did not  fix the problem
I was trying to install the trial version and enter the key after (as said in another post) but I cannot find the trial version of office pro 2k13
The user has administrator rights.
The problem shows also when I log in the same PC as a different user[/list].

...I used all my resources and I gave up.
hope you can help.
