However, their website said that Xcode only works for Mac, and I have a PC. Is there any way I can bypass this restriction? Is it possible to, say, download the latest version of Mac OS and install Xcode from that? Or is there a way to get it on windows?

Best answer:

Answer by Mercuri
No. You should understand that Apple:
1) Loves money
2) Hates developers
You absolutely HAVE to have a Mac to “install” (not download) Mac OS and/or Apple’s Xcode Developer Software

well one this don’t buy a new laptop just a new battery one that fits your model and one with lots of cells (more life)
and to keep it from dieing or loosing the compatibility of holding full power don’t leave it plugged it all the time when it gets charged unplug it an use it then when dieing plug it back in

Answer by Jaren Junior
When you connect your sd chip to computer, you will see it shown as a drive letter in ‘My Computer’. That’s the drive letter.

For recovery software, a popular one is asoftech photo recovery, people used to use it to recover pictures, song, videos, documents, and other deleted files. You can get it from

I found a Toshiba Laptop with this inside…
Intel® Core™2 Duo mobile processor T5450; 2GB DDR2 SDRAM; DL DVD±RW/CD-RW drive; 240GB hard drive capacity; fingerprint reader; Bluetooth; Windows Vista Home *Premium NVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT graphics with PCI Express x16 subsystem and 256MB GDDR2 video memory (up to 255MB additional shared memory with TurboCache)

Help me out. What will these laptops do? Will they allow me run two seperate monitors with one connected through VGA and one connected through HDMI. I want both monitors to have an extended desktop and more or less have this laptop function similar to a desktop running multiple monitors?

Best answer:

Answer by anonymous x
If they have ports compatible with your TV, then it will work, just connect the cables.
If you are lucky to have VGA and HDMI ports, try connecting them to both of the TVs. THere’s a chance that you can’t use both at the same time, but try it first.

I set up my PC with HP LaserJet 4100 Multifunction Printer. But everytime I print something, the last line is always missing, event pictures have a missing bottom. Documents are also missing one line from the bottom, no matter what I print. I’ve tried to change paper size, and shrink the picture to about 50% of its original size, but it just won’t work. Any idea?

Best answer:

Answer by Tim S
well, it looks like you may need to reset the computer/ printer back to factory. but first, have you restarted the Printer. “cold start” and also the computer ????? power them down and let them sit for a minute. then start them. run a self test on the printer. then try printing if all checks out right, if you have the issue on the self test then contact 1 800 HPINVENT for further help or go to the website http://www.hp.com Good luck.

You might want to check your warranty then to see if it’s 1 year or 2 year. If there is still a warranty, check HP.com for your support options:

I have apple’s final cut software that comes with “royalty free” music. Does this mean that if I use their music for a film I need their persmission to distribute or to use it in a film contest?

Best answer:

Answer by Dendryte88
No, royalty-free music does not require permission.

The application to which you refer is stating that you must have permission from the copyright holder in order to include copyrighted material in your film.

Yes, remove the battery and run on AC if it powers up your laptop then the adapter is OK, then do the same with the battery.
