Has anyone tried installing BC2.1 for Vista 64-bit in the Safe mode?

Before I go ahead, has anyone attempted to install the BC2.1 64-bit update for Vista using the Safe mode?
The thought occurred to me earlier, and before I bothered, I was wondering if it had been tried yet by anyone?
As with most others with Vista 64 bit, the exe runs, asks for permission and then dies. Not even a whimper

I attempted to install the BC2.1 in the safe mode, but it still did nothing.
In the normal mode, viewing the Task Manager, when I click the update, after a long while the Task Manager shows a message, something to the effect, "BC2.1.exe is waiting for administrator approval."
After I check the box in the approval window that it's OK to run, the warning in the Task Manager disappears and nothing reappears, meaning the process died.
The system logs don't show very much, but I did not bother too much with them.
This is an issue that Apple has to address. I am confident that they will.
Meanwhile I will post a note on the developers board about it.
http://developer.apple.com/contact/
I presume when it's fixed, the update will show up in the Apple Software Update window, just as the XP update appeared on my other MBP.
Until then, it's just a bit annoying.

  • Has anyone tried to have their glass screen repaired on the ipod touch

    I've gotten a lot of results searching for repair on the glass screen, even sites that have kits for doing it yourself, has anyone tried to have their screen repaired this way?  I know about the trade in offers, but I've seen repairs as low as $25.

    Some users posted that they did it themselves successfully.
    Some tried themselves and ended up not working at all afterwards.
    Some had a local third-party do it and it did not work satisfactorily afer it was returned.

  • Has anyone tried installing a HD lcd in their 15" MBP?

    I was reading on a forum last night that if you buy a certain Sharp 15.4" monitor that's made for dells you can run the resolution 1920x1200 natively. (This is the same resolution as a 23" Apple cinema display). I think it would be awesome to have the real estate of a 23" display on your 15" screen.
    edit: here's the link
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=207751
    obviously this won't be supported by apple.

    I had a 1920x1200 15.4" dell... I will never, ever do that again. I needed a magnifying glass to read. My experience has been that the screen resolutions on Apple portables are ideal for their size (though I would have liked a slightly higher resolution on my 12" pb, I dare say). I can imagine someone would put a 1920x1200 screen on a 17" mbp but the experience would be less than pleasant.

  • Has anyone tried installing the Google Voice and Video plugin?

    Hi,
    I wanted to check out the Hangouts feature at Google+, but I need the Google Voice and Video plugin for that. I tried unpacking the deb package supplied by Google and installing it manually, but the plugin does not work and Firefox just keeps crashing. Could anyone actually get it to work with Arch yet?

    Sorry for not using the search, I see it's available in AUR... http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36308
    Now trying to install from there!

  • Has anyone tried installing Solaris 10 in an iPod?

    I wanna install Solaris 10 in my iPod and boot my system with that. Will I be able to do this?

    A couple of weeks ago someone posted at blogs.sun.com
    that they'd run live upgrade from their ipod, and it'd
    worked.
    Live upgrade lets you install a new version of the OS
    in parallel with the currently running one, so yes, it works.

  • Has anyone tried the suggestion from the macfixit site

    see my earlier post, "painfully slow connection".
    Has anyone tried installing the combo 10.4.5 update from the mac support site.
    my imac came with 10.4.4 so I assume autoupdate just installed the latest delta, but perhaps there is a problem with the installer and an incorrect library version was linked with the library. Just surmizing , but that could cause a problem.
    Anyway reinstalling the update won't hurt anything I don't think anyway.

    I tried it and it didn't do anything noticable. At first I downloaded the PPC version by mistake and it wouldn't accept it. A little more digging turned up the intel version. But again no change.
    What I found that is working for me is setting up my router to work in "b" wireless mode instead of "g" or "b/g". It has solved the problem for now and since the speed to the router still exceeds that of my ADSL line I have noticed nothing but fast and consistent internet access.

  • Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks?

    Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks? I have finally given up on Dragon Dictate for Mac, which alas, after years of buying every new updated version, is still exceedingly buggy and does not begin to compare in quality to the PC version. I love my Mac, and don't like my PC at all, but the third-party  voice  dictation software for Mac is so pathetic, that I have wound up dictating on my PC, and then sending it to my Mac: an truly annoying and Baroque process. I was able to train over 120 words in Sanskrit word perfect on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, but on Dragon Dictate for Mac, I can't even get it to train my name. I know this is not an Apple problem, but I'm trying to find a way around by possibly running the DNS version on Windows on my iMac.
    I have a hand disability, so I really do need to use voice dictation, both for dictating and navigating on my computer.
    If anyone is doing this, are you using Boot Camp, VM fusion, or Parallels? How well does it work? Has anyone discovered anything else I ought to be considering, before giving this a try? I had tried running this on an old on 2008 iMac (with much less power), using Parallels, but it was incredibly slow. Now that I have a much more powerful iMac, I'm wondering whether it would be worth another try. As it will be quite an investment to purchase all this third-party software to get Dragon up and running, I was hoping to get a sense of how well it works, before plunking down the cash. I would be extremely grateful for helpful feedback.
    IMac, Mavericks OS X 10.9.4, 3.5 GHz Intel core i 7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DD3, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12, Dragon Dictate 4.0.2

    You cannot run a Windows application on a Mac unless you run Windows on the Mac.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Has anyone tried Displayport to VGA adaptor for T410S?

    Does the T410s not have a VGA port built right in?  I know my T510 does and I'm almost certain the regular (non-"s") T410 has one.

  • Has anyone tried this? AutoMailMerge Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat

    Mail Merge in Acrobat 9 Professional?
    Hi, All!
    I have been told that I can perform a mail merge similar to MS Word from within Acrobat Pro 9. The main document (with merge type fields) needs to be an Acrobat .pdf. The data source can come from an external file. The key is that the merge is performed in Acrobat, not Word.
    I have searched throughout Acrobat Pro 9 but have found no functionality that matches my needs. Can anyone help me with this?
    I was informed the there is this outside company that has this "AutoMailMerge™ Plug-in for Adobe® Acrobat®"
    http://www.evermap.com/automailmerge.asp
    Has anyone tried this? Does it work? Will it do what I'm looking do? 
    Please help!
    Thank you!

    … in there, you'll find some not-so-known 'tricks' to fasten the process of synching, such as using Markers (not 'on beat' just 'approx').
    I tried with my multicam soccer-recordings = no music (aside the referee's whistle ), and FCPX managed indeed to synch this stuff - impressive!

  • Has anyone tried iUsers for sharing an iPad?

    Trying to figure out the best way for my wife and I to share an iPad.  There is a free download called iUsers that seems to have the right functionality, but the user reviews are from mid-2011 when it was still in Beta.
    Has anyone tried this more recently?  Would like to know your experience.
