Windows Phone emulator is not running - windows-phone-8-emulator

I've installed Visual Studio 2012 on my laptop, then I installed Windows Phone SDK 8.0. Then I made a test project. But when I click Emulator WVGA 512MB a pop-up window came up and it showed the following error message :
Can't start the Windows Phone Emulator
The Windows Phone Emulator couldn't start because
the hypervisor isn't running. The likely cause is that
hardware-assisted virtualization isn't turned on.
Check you PC's BIOS and make sure that hardware-
assisted virtualization and hardware-assisted data
execution protection are turned on.
More information
Then an error is shown, which is 0x80131500, My SLAT in BIOS is enable and My PC configuration is
Windows 8 Pro
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 350 # 2.27GHz 2.27GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 3.00 GB (2.86 GB usable)
System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
Pen and Touch: No Pen or Touch Input is available for this Display
my Virtualization of BIOS is also enabled

I also had the same issue,it was because i haven't enabled the Hyper-V platform in the windows features tab, to enable the goto startscreen and type optionalfeatures click on Hyper-V ,check on Hyper-V Management Tools and Hyper-V Platform if you already have them enabled try to remove and re-enable them.

To turn Hyper-V back on, use:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype on
or
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
and reboot.

Devolopping iOS apps with xamarin

i want to start a project that consist in mobile apps. can i develope native apps with Xamarin.Forms to the three platforms with a pc (Sony Vaio) and visual studio.
You can develop for Windows (Phone, or better yet Universal Windows Platforms Apps) and Android. They just work with Visual Studio.
If you want to build an iOS app as well, you are going to need a Mac. Building for iOS cannot be done without a Mac. There are a few options:
Buy a Mac laptop with a Windows VM; this is an option you see for most developers, however it is an expensive one because you're going to want a good MacBook Pro with a 1TB disk.
Buy a (cheap-ish) Mac (Mini); Xamarin is built so that you can let a standalone Mac machine do all the iOS building. All you have to do is install it with XCode and Xamarin, connect it to your network and you are ready to go. With the new Xamarin iOS Simulator for Windows you don't have to look at your Mac ever again. Let's be clear: the Simulator for Windows isn't a Simulator which runs on Windows. It simply mirrors the Simulator from your Mac.
Rent a Mac in the cloud. There are solutions like macincloud.com which let you rent a Mac hosted by them. They have different plans depending on your needs. The concept stays the same; you connect to a Mac in 'your network' (which is now over the internet) to build your iOS app.
Whichever option you choose; you are going to have to spend some extra money on Apple hardware to get to develop your iOS app.

Installer files not working on Windows 8.1

My installer works fine with Windows 7 32Bit but if run on a Windows8 64 Computer I get an out of memory error during the installation process.
The Windows 7 and the Windows 8 output are created fine with Inno Setup 5.5.5
Sorry forgot to cancel this.
I discovered my brand new Windows 8.1 computer with 32GB of ram was locked to 4GB of useable ram. I was getting out of memory errors. I have reconfigured the computer and now all is well.

Can I transfer an app that is installed from Windows Phones 8.1 to PC?

I have an app that is installed in Windows Phone 8.1 from PC by Visual Studio. Can I get it again to PC from my Phone?
No, you can't do that with the publically available tools.
Only isolated storage is accessible from the PC.

Enabling the HyperV Option in windows 8.1 Operating system

I am new to windows phone app development from asp.net web,web service,WCF and WebAPI development background knowledge. I installed windows 8.1 and vs2012 express and I installed windows phone SDK as well.
I am using Lenova Z580 model laptop and i have enabled the Intel Virtual Technology from the BIOS settings. Now I am able to see the Hyper V as enabled from the system information screen.
But I am not able to see the Hyper V option from my windows features.
What could be the problem? and what might be the solution?
Thanks in advance.
Hyper-V is only included in Windows 8.1 Pro.

Deployment failed for running windows phone8 app

I wrote first app using VS2012, Its giving error that is "Error 1 Deployment failed because no Windows Phone 8 phone was detected. Make sure a phone is connected and powered on.
"
but I did not attach any phone; I just want to run it on emulator. I am unable to select emulator from Visual Studio Device option as Its only showing me "Device" option. please help me how emulator options will come in Device options
After you install the SDK bundle. XDE emulators begin to setup themselves immediately consuming a large ram from your rig. It might have happened that you restarted your pc/laptop while the XDE was setting up.
So i would suggest you to Unistall and Reinstall again the SDK package with Update 3 to enjoy no problems. Also please note that you are running windows 8.1 pro or Enterprise/Embedded Industry pro edition.
You should have the Windows 8.
You should have a Hyper-V compatible computer.
You should enable and configure the Hyper-V. Look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj863509(v=vs.105).aspx
If you use a laptop, development on the emulator will be a hell.
Try grant all permission level to all user for your virtual machines in this path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Emulation\Images
Only restart the device or the emulator and the deployment will success
You need to have Hyper-V installed using Control Panel|Programs & Features|Turn Windows Features On/Off.
If you installed Hyper-V AFTER Visual Studio 2013, you will need to repair Windows Phone x.x Emulators in Control Panel|Programs & Features.
Reboot.
The Emulator should appear in the Visual Studio Run/F5 button.
It will take several minutes to start the emulator on the first try. It will appear to hang. Wait at least 10min. You can use Hyper-V Manager to connect to the emulator directly and view progress.
