If you're interested in running Mac OS X, but you don't want to pay ridiculous prices for a normal Mac, then a Hackintosh just might be for you. Right now, the newest iteration of OS X is 10.8, known as Mountain Lion. In this guide, we'll show you how to install Mountain Lion on your PC with the newly released "Niresh" distro.

We've previously covered how to install Mountain Lion on a PC using tonymacx86's Unibeast tool, which requires you to have an existing Mac OS X installation. This usually means that you have to install Snow Leopard on your PC first, or find a real Mac. We've also covered how to install Mountain Lion on a PC using a "distro" like iAtkos, which allows you to jump straight to Mountain Lion. However, you can't set up iAtkos on a regular DVD, and iAtkos doesn't work with AMD or Atom processors. If you find either of these limitations to be inconvenient, then using the Niresh distro instead may be your best option.



The difference between Niresh and iAtkos

Distros are pirated copies of Mac OS X that have been modified to work with a PC. If you don't have any qualms with the legal issues regarding distros, they're actually the most convenient way to set up a Hackintosh. If you're interested in installing Mac OS X on your PC with a distro, then you'll have two main options: Niresh, and iAtkos ML2. iAtkos is the far more popular choice of the two. However, there are a few reasons why you may want to use Niresh instead.

• Niresh works with regular DVDs. iAtkos only works with the less common (and more expensive) dual-layer DVDs and Bluray discs, because the iAtkos installer is slightly too large to fit on a regular DVDs. 
• Niresh is distributed as an "ISO" file. The ISO format is a standard DVD image format that works on just about everything. Meanwhile, iAtkos is distributed as a "DMG" file, which is a proprietary "disk image" format made by Apple. DMG files are rather difficult to work with, since they don't work with Windows by default. To set up iAtkos on Windows, you have to use special software like Transmac. 
• Niresh supports AMD and Intel Atom. Normally, computers that use AMD or Intel Atom processors are unsupported by Mac OS X. However, Niresh includes experimental "patched" kernels that may allow Mac OS X to work with these processors regardless.

On the other hand, iAtkos offers a few key advantages over Niresh. Most notably, iAtkos includes built-in support for installation on RAID volumes and MBR partitions.

Requirements:

• An existing Windows computer/Mac/Hackintosh: This is the computer where you will download and set up Niresh. Either Windows or Mac OS X will work. Make sure your computer has a DVD/Bluray burner (just about every DVD/Bluray drive nowadays can act as a burner, too).


• A Hackintosh-compatible computer with an empty hard drive: This is the computer where you will install OS X Mountain Lion. It can be the same computer as the one mentioned in the previous point. If your computer already has Mac OS X Lion installed, Niresh will just update Lion to Mountain Lion normally, without deleting any of your apps or files.
  
  However, not every computer will work with Mac OS X. Be sure to read the Hackintosh compatibility guide very carefully, to check whether or not your computer qualifies. Also, Mac OS X needs its own hard drive-- a minimum of 10 GB of space is required, but at least 50 GB of space is recommended. As far as we know, Niresh will not work on a hard drive where Windows is already installed.


• Niresh 10.8.2 (Free): Niresh is a "distro" of OS X Mountain Lion that has been modified to work with PCs. You will need to use a bittorrent client to download the file, which is a little less than 5 GB in size.


• A DVD: In this guide, you will write Niresh onto a DVD, and boot your computer from Niresh to install Mac OS X. Any empty DVD will work.


• Multibeast (Free): Multibeast is a collection of kext files that your Hackintosh will need to run properly, after the initial installation. Be sure to download the newest version 5 of Multibeast, not the older versions 3 or 4 (which are for Snow Leopard and Lion, respectively).

1.  Create your Niresh DVD
Burn Niresh onto a DVD disc. You will be booting your Hackintosh from this Niresh DVD, in order to install OS X Mountain Lion. On Mac OS X, burning capabilities are built-in to the operating system-- just insert an empty DVD into your DVD/Bluray drive, right-click on the downloaded Niresh file, and burn it.

However, if you're using Windows, you will need to use a program such as ImgBurn. While Windows 7 and 8 include built-in DVD burning software, in my personal experience, ImgBurn tends to be far more reliable.

DOWNLOAD: ImgBurn

Depending on the speed of your DVD burner, this can take up to few hours. Wait until the DVD has been successfully burned, and then proceed to the next step.

2. Set up the parts of your PC
I covered these steps in my Snow Leopard guide, but they're worth mentioning again:

• Unplug all USB-connected devices from your computer before you begin the setup (except your keyboard and mouse). A faulty external USB hard drive can cause your Hackintosh bootloader to give you EBIOS errors on startup.
• Open up your computer and unplug any extra internal hard drives that your computer has, besides the hard drive that you're installing OS X on. (Just unplug the hard drive SATA cables from your motherboard.)
• If possible, connect your monitor to the DVI port of your computer's graphics. The Mac OS X installer sometimes has problems with HDMI and VGA. 

NOTE: If you're installing Mac OS X on a computer that already has Windows installed, you may have to enable AHCI for Windows beforehand. Otherwise, Windows won't boot afterwards. Also, after installing Mac OS X, you should also sync your clock on Windows with Mac OS X.

3. Set up your motherboard's BIOS
The BIOS is basically a settings page for your motherboard. To enter the BIOS on my own computer's Gigabyte P67A-D3-B3 motherboard, I have to press the delete key when it boots (before the operating system starts). Different manufacturers set different keys for opening the BIOS.

NOTE: If you have a newer Gigabyte motherboard that uses the UEFI interface instead of BIOS, check out our guide for setting up the UEFI instead.

If your Hackintosh already has Mac OS X Snow Leopard or Lion installed, the only thing you'll need to change in the BIOS is the "Boot Device", so that your Niresh DVD has highest priority.

If your Hackintosh doesn't have Snow Leopard or Lion installed yet, you have to change a few extra BIOS settings. Before starting, reset all of your BIOS settings to their factory defaults. On Gigabyte motherboards, you can reset your BIOS settings to their default by selecting "Load Optimized Defaults" on the main page of the BIOS. Once your BIOS is running on its defaults, you need to change these three settings:

Boot Device - Change the boot device of your computer so that "CDROM" is first. You need to do this for Niresh to work. After you finish installing Mac OS X, you should change this setting back to default, so that "Hard Disk" is the first boot device (this optional, but it will speed up your boot times).

HPET - Change this to 64-bit.

SATA Control Mode (your BIOS might call this a different name) - This will probably already be set to "SATA", "IDE", or "RAID". Change it to "AHCI". Mac OS X only works with AHCI.

Keep in mind that the BIOS on most motherboards do not support using a mouse, so you'll probably have to navigate through the BIOS with the arrow keys on your keyboard. Press "Enter" to change a selected option in the BIOS. On my Gigabyte motherboard, I have to press F10 to save my changes.

4. Boot into Niresh
Insert your Niresh DVD into your computer's DVD drive, and restart your computer. If things go well, your computer will boot into Niresh instead of booting from your normal hard disk. You will then be able to view the black-and-white Niresh menu.

If you do not manage to reach the Niresh menu, check your motherboard's BIOS settings to make sure that the changes you made in Step 3 were properly applied. If they were, but you still cannot boot from Niresh, go back to Step 1 of this guide and try again with a DVD (preferably using ImgBurn).

At the Niresh menu, press the enter key (or return key) to start the OS X Mountain Lion installer. If you are trying to install OS X Mountain Lion on a computer using an AMD or Intel Atom processor, you'll have to type the boot flag "amd" (without quotation marks-- for AMD) or "atom" (without quotation marks-- for Atom).

In the worst case scenarios, instead of loading the Mac OS X installer, you may end up at a dark gray screen that tells you to restart your computer (a kernel panic), or you may end up with a small crossed-out sign (a loading error). If you get a kernel panic/loading error (or if the Mac OS X installer simply won't start within 10 minutes), you'll need to enter some boot flags. To enter boot flags, manually restart your computer by pressing your computer's power button. Then, once you've booted back into the Niresh menu, try typing any necessary boot flags before pressing the enter/return key. Check out this list of common boot flags for reference ( PCIRootUID=0 and -x are two popular boot flags).

5. Install Mountain Lion

Once you've entered the OS X Mountain Lion installer, you will come up to a page that asks you for a "destination" for your Mountain Lion installation. 

If you're installing Mountain Lion on a computer that has never been turned into a Hackintosh before (i.e. doesn't already have Snow Leopard or Lion installed), the hard drive selection box will be blank. We'll have to fix that. To do this, start up Disk Utility, which is located under the Utilities menu in the top bar.

You need to use Disk Utility to erase a hard drive partition so that OS X Mountain Lion can install itself on it. In the sidebar of Disk Utility, choose the hard drive where you want Mountain Lion installed, and erase it by using the "Erase" tab. In the screenshot below, my hard drive is called "21.47 GB VBOX HARDDRIVE".

When erasing, the format should be set to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". You can also partition the hard disk by using Disk Utility's Partition tab. Mac OS X cannot boot from a partition that's larger than 1 TB in size, so if you have a 2 TB hard drive, you will have to partition it.

On the installation page for Mac OSX, the hard disk/disk partition should now be showing up. Select it, and then click the "Customize" button on the bottom left. This is where using a distro becomes really useful: Niresh allows you to install extra Hackintosh drivers and kexts, straight from the OS X Mountain Lion installer. The "Customize" page essentially does the same thing as Multibeast, though the layout (and most of the names of the options) are different.

However, choosing the right options from this page can be really tricky, so unless you're absolutely certain about which drivers and kexts you need to install for your computer, I don't recommend installing too much stuff from here. The default selection will enable Mac OS X to boot from the hard drive without any assistance. For most computers, that will be enough (at least for the initial installation). If you wish to install more, refer to our guide to Multibeast. Otherwise, you can figure out the rest in Step 6, where you'll actually set up your Hackintosh with Multibeast.

After you're done with the "Customize" page, install Mountain Lion. This will take at least 30 minutes.

Once the installation finishes, remove your Niresh DVD, and restart. At the boot screen, you'll see an icon for the hard drive where you installed Mountain Lion. Select it (use the arrow keys on your computer) and press "Enter". Mountain Lion will boot. Mission accomplished!

Once again, if you get a kernel panic/loading error when you try to boot your new Mountain Lion installation (or if the installation simply won't start within 10 minutes), you'll need to enter some boot flags. To enter boot flags, manually restart your computer by pressing your computer's power button. Then, once you've booted back into the Niresh menu, try type any necessary boot flags before pressing the enter/return key. Check out this list of common boot flags for reference ( PCIRootUID=0 and -x are two popular boot flags).

Another common issue with Niresh is that it tends to lag out of the account creation process, and skip straight to the Mac OS X login screen before you can make your own account. If this happens, simply log into Mac OS X with the following credentials:

Username: root
Password: niresh

This will log you into the "root" account of Mac OS X. From here, open the System Preferences app, go to "Users & Groups", and create your own account. (We don't recommend that you use the root account permanently, because it is insecure.)

6. Multibeast
Multibeast is a collection of kext files that you'll need to install for your Hackintoshes to have sound, internet, a high resolution screen, and more. Different Hackintosh builds require different Multibeast setups, though most setups are very similar. Find out what Multibeast options you need to install. If you have a Gigabyte GA-P67A-D3-B3 motherboard like me, check out my own Multibeast setup.

If you're just updating your Hackintosh from Mac OS X Lion, you don't have to reinstall UserDSDT, Easybeast, or Chimera in Multibeast after installing OS X Mountain Lion. Mac OS X treats Mountain Lion as just another update-- this generally means that the only things you have to reinstall in Multibeast are audio kexts and ethernet kexts. You might also have to reinstall miscellaneous kexts, such as TRIM Enabler (for SSDs).

To run Multibeast in OS X Mountain Lion, you have to go the "Security" section of System Preferences in Mac OS X, go to the "General" section, and check "Anywhere" in the "Allow applications" section. After running Multibeast, you'll also probably want to change your BIOS settings back to normal (from Step 3).

Once that's done with, you should be running a fully functional copy of OS X Mountain Lion on your PC. If you plan on updating Mac OS X in the future, check out our guide to updating your Hackintosh. Congratulations!

The best smartphone from the beast manufacturer of Android smartphones will be announced on February 24 at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014 at Barcelona but before Samsung throws light on what the Samsung Galaxy S5 would feature, Russian insider and blogger Eldar Murtazin has tweeted out the specs of the device. Though a rumor, these leaked specs are something we have been expecting from the past few months and of course, they do come from a trusted source.

The specs reveal that the Samsung Galaxy S5 would include a 5.24 inch screen with a whopping 2560 x 1440-pixel, Quad HD resolution which would make the Samsung Galaxy S5 world’s first Quad HD resolution device in the western hemisphere of the world.Vivo Xplay 3S is the first one but is available only in China. This will also make Samsung Galaxy S5 the world’s first smartphone to beat the 500 ppi barrier as the leaked specs show that it would have a screen with 560 pixels per inch pixel density.

This high pixel density will be powered with a 3200mAh battery which is strong enough to provide a good battery life compared to the Samsung Galaxy S4 which had a 2600mAh battery.

The device will be available in two variants as far as the storage capacity is concerned. Interestingly, there is no 16 GB variant this time but instead Samsung has planned to release 64 GB and 32 GB variants. There is no information about the expansion of this memory via a SD card slot.

Considering the system chip, there are two variants – Snapdragon and Exynos 6 chip. No information about which Snapdragon chip will be included is available as of now.

Camera as usual is a 16 MP shooter at the back and 3.2 MP in front. Rumors also suggest that a thinner Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch might be launched with the Galaxy S5.

We’ll get to know more as and when we approach Feb 24 to see what Samsung would announce at Samsung Unpacked event.

I have IIS setup in my PC which use 80 port by default. Today I have installed XAMPP in my PC so that I can do both ASP and PHP programming together. But I have seen that Apache is not running. Thus I am failing to run php files. This is happening, because Apache server also use 80 port. IIS is using the same port, so Apache server will not work in this port. So I have to set Apache server in other port (8080) so that it can run properly. To change the port, please follow the following steps,

1/ Change to this file, C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf 

• Find "Listen 80" and replace with "Listen 8080"
• Find "ServerName localhost:80" and replace with "ServerName localhost:8080"

2/ Change to this file, C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf

• Find "Listen 443" and replace with "Listen 4499"
• Find "ServerName localhost:443" and replace with "ServerName localhost:4499"

Now you will be able to use both server together using following URL,

• IIS Server: http://localhost/YourProjectName/
• Apche Server: http://localhost:8080/YourProjectName/

Then Restart you computer and Enjoy....... :)

Today I've got a reader-requested tutorial about how you can install WordPress on your Windows 7 computer (same applies for Windows XP & Vista). This is such an important part of my WordPress working life, and if you don’t know how to do it, now’s your chance to learn. But first…..

Why Would I Want to Install WordPress on my Computer?

Installing WordPress locally gives you a fantastic test environment. You can install as many WordPress as you want on your computer. On mine I’ve got:

• Single-site
• Multisite
• Beta
• Plugins
• WordPress

This gives me all sorts of scope for testing stuff out, playing around – aWordPress playground right on my computer.

Let’s get started:

1. Download Xampp

Xampp is an Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. This makes it awesome for WordPress. You can download it from here. 

There are a number of different distributions so make sure you select the distribution that’s correct for your operating system. For the purposes of this tutorial we want the Windows distribution.

Click on the distribution.

Click on the installer.

2. Install Xampp

Double click on the installer and choose your language.

Decide where you want to install xampp.

Click install.

Sit back, relax, wait for it to install.

3. Fire up Xampp

Start Xampp. Start Apache and MySQL.

You may get a warning from Windows. You want to make sure that Windows allows access.

You can check to see if your new local server is installed by visiting http://localhost

Nice!

4. Set up MySQL Database

On your Xampp control panel click the admin button beside MySQL.

In your browser you’ll be taken to the MySQL dashboard. You need to fill in the details for your new database:

• Set your MySQL connection collation: to utf8_unicode_ci
• Choose the name for your database. I’m naming this one singlesite – you can call it whatever you want.

Note: if you are doing a live installation on a server you must add a username and password. Do not use “root” ever on a live site. This isn’t necessary on a local installation.

5. Download and unzip WordPress

Download WordPress.

You need to unzip it to the correct folder on your computer. Find the Xampp folder and navigate to xampp>htdocs

Unzip WordPress there and rename the WordPress folder to whatever name you want. I usually match mine to my database name.

6. Configure WordPress

Open up wp-config-sample.php and find the MySQL settings.

Here is what you need to update the settings to:

/** The name of the database for WordPress */
 define('DB_NAME', 'singlesite');

/** MySQL database username */
 define('DB_USER', 'root');

/** MySQL database password */
 define('DB_PASSWORD', '');

/** MySQL hostname */
 define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

Remember to replace singlesite with whatever you called your database.

Save the file in your root WordPress folder as wp-config.php

7. Install WordPress

Open up your browser and navigate to http://localhost/singlesite/

The familiar WordPress installation screen will appear.

Fill in your details and click “Install WordPress.”

There you go – WordPress is installed locally on your computer.

:)

1. Download xampp wget: 

http://www.apachefriends.org/download.php?xampp-linux-1.8.1.tar.gz

2. Unzip
tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.8.1.tar.gz -C /opt

3. Update available packages
apt-get update

4. Install 32 bit libraries
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

5. Open browser and see xampp splash page

http://localhost

6. Change permission
chmod 777 -R /opt/lampp/htdocs/

The Firebug entry point and also the only Firebug UI visible immediately after installation is s Firebug button (icon) placed at the right side of the navigation Firefox toolbar.

This button is called Firebug Start Button and its main purpose is to open Firebug UI by clicking on it (you can also use F12 key to open Firebug) but, the button does much more than just opening Firebug...

Activation Status

Another purpose of the start button is indicating Firebug activation status. If Firebug is opened in your browser and collecting information about the current page (e.g. HTTP traffic) - the button is colored. If Firebug is deactivated and not representing any performance penalties - the button is grey.

Firebug is activated

Firebug is deactivated

There is also a tooltip associated with the button displaying detailed info about activation status.

Firebug is fully deactivated.

Firebug is activated on one page and panel Cookies is disabled.

Errors

If there are any errors on the page, the button indicates that by showing a badge with number of errors.

Menu

There is also a popup menu associated with the button

By default, the button indicates errors on the page and Firebug UI is located at the bottom. See detailed description of individual menu items on Firebug wiki.

Start button at the bottom

If you prefer to have the button at the bottom of the browser window (within Firefox add-on bar), use Firefox Customize Toolbar dialog.

Open the dialog through Toolbar Layout... menu.

As soon as the dialog is opened, you can drag the start button icon and drop it at the add-bar at the bottom of the browser window. That's it, don't forget to make sure the add-on bar is checked to be displayed (see the screenshot above).
