Does anyone know what will happen to my boot camp partition once I upgrade to lion?
I have MacBook Pro (4,1) running leopard 10.6.8 and am hesitant about the upgrade to lion because I have a FAT boot camp partition with window xp in it and a number of apps that I wouldn't like to lose in the process. Does anybody know how the upgrade handles the boot camp partition?
While this is the way it is supposed to work, because the Lion upgrade does try to create a new Recovery HD partition on the system disk, there is a chance that the BootCamp partition can be corrupted. Unfortunately Apple does not provide a tool or instructions on how to backup the BootCamp partition. I have had good results with WinClone even though the program seems to be no longer supported. I have just restored my XP BootCamp partition after my live partition was apparently corrupted by my Lion install. My recommendation to anyone running a BootCamp partition would be to back it up prior to any upgrade attempt.

What will happen with my Boot Camp partition if I'll do a celan install of Mac OS X Lion?
I'm planing to do a clean install of Lion (form USB drive). Will my Boot Camp partition (where I have Windows 7 installed) stay untouched?
You can clone the Bootcamp partition from within OS X using the free WinClone.

You can also clone your Snow Leopard to another drive (needs a whole one to itself/partition) using the free Carbon Copy Cloner. -
I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps. Does anyone know what is happening here? Even updating an older game app resulted in the original game icon changing to the new identical icon that all new apps are appearing with. This new icon is like a page with a ruler, pencil and paintbrush. Any tips on how to stop this or how to revert to the icon as it appears on the app store would be appreciated.

Does anyone know what has happened to Retrospect?
I have been trying to contact Retrospect. Since they seem to have parted from Roxio, I cannot find them. Anyone know what is going on?
That's one weird site or I don't know Internet protocols that well. Take your pick.
Today I get a different ip address.
mac $ ping -c8 retrospect.com
PING retrospect.com (75.101.163.44): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 75.101.163.44: icmp_seq=0 ttl=50 time=29.062 ms
When I enter the ip address into a web browser, I get an error message.
Yet when I enter http://www.retrospect.com/products/mac
I get the site. Maybe I should include the www
I guess I do not know how to enter this on the command. ( Seems to work for google. )
This works.
Google seems to have their act together though.

Does anyone know what has happened to Softmatic Barcode Maker on the App store?
I bought this App a few months ago, and it worked fine. Then updated it a few weeks ago and worked even better. However I tried to load it today and it just crashes on startup. Have tried restating my MBP and it still doesn't work. I can't re-install because it is nolonger available on the App store, and furthermore, the publisher seems to have dissappeared completely! The web address softmatic.com doesn't go anywhere, and googling doesn't turn up any useful info.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to fix the software?
Or what has happened to Softmatic?
Or if I will have any kind of comebak with the App Store regarding this App?
Any help would be greatly appreciated – I'm stumped!
Thanks
AndyI've rather wondered myself. I hadn't used the bar code software, but did download and try the free Gradient Pro. It worked very nicely. I had a question and one problem, support was iin contact within an hour with both the answer and a fix for the problem. The next day they posted an updated version with the fix as part of the update. I was very impressed. The next day, they were *poof*.
I still use the app, have the manual page downloaded from before, but they have vanished online. Too bad. They had some great plans in store for new features. -
Note that I have also tried creating several different Apple IDs in the hope this would solve the problem, however it has failed to do so.
That means there is a common email address( or maybe a phone number if one ID is associated with an iPhone with iOS 6). On each device go to Setting>Messages>Send and receive and make sure that the same email address or phone number is not listed on both devices.

I am trying to transfer my music to my iphone. I have done this many times before but today I am getting a message stating that my Applie mobile device service has not been set up. Could someone help me?
Hey Patsy,
This is a pretty simple issue to fix.
For Windows 7 or Vista: Start> Search for 'Services'> Select the Services that shows as a Program> Click on Apple Mobile Device> And then press Start.
Windows XP> Start> Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Services (You may see this on the first Control Panel page depending on which view it's in)> Apple Mobile Device> Start the service.\

Does anyone know what a gray screen on boot up means?
I have a Mac Pro with 10.6.x (snow leopard) and I am getting a gray screen on boot up. Any ideas on how to fix this? It wont boot from the dvd either.
"A Mac that will not boot from an appropriate Installer/Utilities DVD has a Hardware problem."
Is the Power light flashing? that may mean a RAM problem.
Sometimes the "snag keys" at Startup are not seen due to the keyboard connected via a Hub in a display. The keyboard needs to be connected to a USB directly on the chassis, no intervening Hub.
Use the Alt/Option key for best resuilts when in a jam -- it needs nothing from any drives to make a picture on the display, its code is all in ROM. -

Hi all,
For some time now, my appstore app shows an update available for CodeBox, which I did not buy. When I try to update it it asks for my ID and password (all normal), but then it gives an Unknown Error.
I am 100% sure I didn't buy the app, I do not see any transaction on my card or in the appstore apart of this one, so does not seem to be a hack.
Does anyone know what is happening, this is a tricky thing which is making me lose trust in the payment/account system that Apple is using.
Thanks!
Isidrowell... actually you are right dahveed, i had a dodgy copy of galaxy on fire 2 (boring game), that's what was giving me the issue. i followed your posts about the MAS etc., and discovered this was the problem. Corrected. You're a knowledgable man, thank you

With the new iOS 7 update. Does anyone know what the setting "Bold Text" means or will do? Obviously I do know what Bold Text is. It says if you click on this, it says it will restart your iPhone. Before I do this, I'm just wanting to be sure I know what's going to happen.
Thanks,
-LeeIt just reboots the device and bolds the system fonts. No harm done. If you don't like it, undo the setting, it will reboot and back to as it was.

Does Anyone Know What Is Making This Happen?
This happens so often, but so quickly, I am always surprised and can remember what just caused it....that is, what actions I just took that made it happen. But tonight, I started thinking maybe it's some kind of "feature" that one can defeat.
Sometimes, when working in the MIXER window, I will be doing something with an AUX, maybe adding an effect, I don't know...but all of a sudden, it JUMPS over to the right of the screen. If you look at the top of the arrange window (if you can see it behind your mix window), it is as if the fader you are working with has become the FOCUS. Tonight I do remember choosing the OUTPUT fader and with a right click chose to "Create Arrange Track" so I could draw in some animation, and it jumped to the top of the ARRANGE page.
I know this is vague, but basically, I don't want channels changing position once I have them somewhere. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and is it a feature that can be defeated?
Thanks

Yes I'm sorry that is what it does, it jumps to the LEFT of the screen. And yes it might be in touch mode or some other automation mode, I hadn't thought of that...what is going on there?
It's a "feature". As soon as you put an Aux track into an automation mode, it places it on the arrange page for you automatically. And not only that, it places it at the top of the arrange page, and is therefore, ahead, or in front of the regular audio/instrument tracks, and because of that, gets moved to the first channel strip(s) of your mixer window (since the mixer and arrange update with each other).
Personally, I love the fact that the Aux track gets placed at the top of the arrange page, because that is where I always placed them myself, prior to version 8. But I do find it disconcerting that it moves within the mixer window. I personally would prefer it stay in place, like it would on a hardware console. -
When I go to yahoo with my iPhone 6 the pages will not enlarge when I pinch them but it works on my iPad. Does anyone know what's wrong? Also the same on boyfriends phone he's eith Virgin and I'm with Vodafone do it cant be the providers.
Thanks for the link but none of those described the problem. No error message pops up. It just says "Accessing Itunes Store" but it never actually does. This only occurs when my iPhone is plugged in though.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) will not read an SD card in the SDXC card reader. Does anyone know whats going on?
Hi David. I don't have as modern a Macbook Pro as you, mine is a 2012 model, but perhaps I can help. I often find that my SD card will not load when I first insert it. I have to remove it and then put it into the slot again firmly.
You also haven't posted any information about the SD card. What size is it, do you know how it is formatted, has it worked in that same mac previously, where did it come from, does it currently work in another device (such as your camera)? This sort of information will help to narrow down the problem.
If you post some more information I'm sure people will try to help you. In the meantime, if you look at your post again you should see "More Like This" at the bottom of the page and you may find an answer in some of those related posts.
Hope that helps.

i have an iphone 4 and after updating it to the ios5 software, it will not allow me to activate nor allow me to leave the setup page. i plugged it into itunes and it is stuck there too... i cannot even restore it. does anyone know what to do?
I have had this same issue but thankfully fixed it. Follow he steps below:
Sync your iPhone with you iTunes therefore your info is backed up. Unplug your phone.
Go to Settings > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Once your phone has reset and come back on answer the question until it asks if you want to back up from itunes Click this then plug your phone in.
After everything has sync'd back to your phone everything should work fine.
Hope this helps.
