Only starts up in Windows Vista does not start in Tiger

I've got a Macbook Black running on Tiger and I've also got Windows Vista running thru boot camp. Last night I was running Tiger fine. I did get a msg telling me my startup disk was almost full. I didn't have the time to delete some files to make space on my HD. So I just shut it down as per normal.
Today when I started up my machine it automatically keeps starting up in Vista. I tried holding down the option key for boot camp and I managed to click on Macintosh HD to try and start up in Tiger but it doesn't work. I get a blank screen with a cursor at the top left corner flashing momentarily then it starts up in Vista again.
I've run a trial copy of MacDrive on Vista to check if I needed to repair the Mac HD but it says that nothings wrong.
Sorry for the lengthy write up but I wanted to give as much details as possible to help diagnose this problem.
Someone pls help!

Hi,
Have you checked for updated drivers on the Toshiba website?
You could try downloading and installing these updates:
Cumulative update rollup for Windows Vista - this is a slightly older one so you might want to check the already installed updates in programs and features to make sure that it's not already installed before you download:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936003/en-us
Cumulative update rollup for USB core components in Windows Vista:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941600/en-us
Also try disabling user account control, it's a long shot but so many things in Vista won't run while it's switched on.
Let me know how you get on :)

Satellite L300D-11A - Windows vista does not starts

Hi,
When I turn on my computer I get the following error message:
Error Recovery for Windows
Windows could not start up. A hardware or software change that was recently carried out may be the cause.
If windows files are damaged or incorrectly configured, you can start the repair tool to help you diagnose and resolve the problem. If the power supply was interrupted during startup, choose start windows normally.
Start startup repair tool (recommended)
Start windows normally.
After a while windows automatically selects the first option and try to load windows in recovery mode but then I get the following error:
"The installed software could not start. Click ok to shutdown the computer".
When it shutdowns and I start the computer again I get the same error message where I started with the 2 options of recovery mode or start windows normally.
When I select the 2. option (start windows normally), it loads windows and after a while reboots and then I get the same error again with the two options.
I have tried to boot from CD (recovery disk, vista bootable cd) and computer tries a while but then it gives up and start booting from HDD again. (I have altered to boot from CD first in BIOS).
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
I have Toshiba laptop model nr: L300D-11A

Hi
If I understood you message, you have tried to boot from Recovery disk and from MS Vista CD and neither recovery disk not Vista CD worked.
Is it right?
Hmm thats very strange.. Maybe you could remove the HDD from the notebook and could put it into an external USB HDD case.
Then you could format this HDD using another computer.
After that you could try to reinstall the OS again
Please also enter the BIOS and set it to default settings set the SATA mode to compatible and try to boot from Vista CD again
Good luck

Windows vista do not start

Windows vista do not start.
I have tried starting in the different safe mode, none works (after the loading bar it all just becomes black), also tried start repair it just says that start repair can not fix the error. I have check if I could restore it to a previus state when it work, but it seems like it hasnt save any for some reason. . I have done diagnostic test on the hardware and everything seems to be fine. Probably some virus.
Can I still reinstall the windows without overwriting every personal file? I can not see any option of just reinstall the window only, not the the hardrive. Can I do this in bios maybe? To me you should be able to reinstall just windows and nothing else. It is ok, if the the virus is still there after I have reinstall just windows, what I want to do is save some files, so if I can only come in the computer for 5 min, that is all I need.
I have read that you maybe can save files with downloading linux and load the computer with that to get access to the files. But I do not have a seperat computer with dvd or usb stick. All things can be fix, but it will both cost money and is a little bit of a hassel, for something then maybe not even work in the end.

Your options a limited here.
Should you wish to save your files you will have to put the hard drive in an external hard drive caddy and plug it into the USB port of another computer to transfer your files.
Once done, put the hard drive back into your computer and perform a factory restore which will return your computer to it's original state as when you got it. You will have to reinstall your programs and data files.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.

Windows Vista does not see my Ipad but it always did prior to this attempt

Windows Vista does not see my Ipad, this is a new problem and I have not made any major changes to either my computer or to my Ipad. I am running Vista 64 as an operating system. I get the message that windows has an unrecognized USB device. I checked to see if the Apple Mobility software is running and it was, I reset it, turned off the computer, soft reset the Ipad but still no luck.

Hi,
Can you try a different USB port?

Oracle Windows Sevice does not start (ORA-12640: Authentication adapter initialization failed)

I converted a physical windows 2003 machine to a virtual hyperv machine.
The following error occurs in oradim.log when I try to start the Oracle Windows Service on the virtual server:
ORA-12640: Authentication adapter initialization failed
I recreated the service and the password file but with no luck.
I also tried to change sqlnet.ora with the following: (Replaced NTS to NONE)
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)
In this case the service was started but when I tried to connect as sysdba using sqlplus "/ as sysdba" the "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" error occurs. If you connect using the password then it connects fine. But I would like to be able to connect without a password because I have some scripts that I do not want to hardcode the sysdba password.
I also removed and readded the administrator password from ORA_DBA group but again with no luck.

Have you seen this:
Oracle Database Service on Windows 2000 in AutoStart Mode with Logon as SYSTEM
(Bug 1397927) If you have installed an Oracle database service on Windows 2000, when logging in as SYSTEM user (Local System), with startup mode set to Automatic, it is possible that the Oracle database service starts but the database does not start automatically. The following error message is written to the ORADIM.LOG file in the ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\DATABASE directory.
ORA-12640: Authentication adapter initialization failed
It has also been observed that the services like Oracle Enterprise Management Agent, Oracle Enterprise Manager Management Server and Oracle Internet Directory may also fail for the same reason because they cannot connect to the database.
The workarounds for this problem are:
Remove the line sqlnet.authentication_services=(NTS) from SQLNET.ORA or set sqlnet.authentication_services=(NONE) in SQLNET.ORA.
Start the database manually after the Oracle database service has started using SQL*Plus connecting as user name INTERNAL. Note that the INTERNAL user name will not be available after release 8.1.7.
Start the service as a specific user:
Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services. The Services dialog box appears.
Select the service you want to start.
Click the Startup button. The Service dialog box appears.
Click This account and specify the user name and corresponding password.

Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) Windows Vista does not see DVD-ram UJ-850s

Hi
I have a Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) with windows Vista. Windows Vista doesn't recognize the DVD-ram any more. The BIOS recognize the DVD-ram. I did try to download the DVD-ram drivers but they are not on the side of Toshiba.
Who can help me to get the right driver or know more? From the problems with the Mat****a DVD-ram uj-850s ATA device and windows Vista.

Hi
The CD/DVD drive does not need special drivers!!!
The Vista includes a Microsoft driver which works with all ODDs (CD/DVD drives)
Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.
Some questions; did you get any error messages? What is the device manager status? Do you see any yellow exclamation marks?
There is an old way to fix a similar drive issue. It worked under XP so try it on Vista OS.
Its necessary to update the registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
1. Click on the start menu.
2. If this is a Vista machine in the search box type in regedit without the quotation marks.
3. search the registry key mentioned above.
4. In the right panel youll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and LowerFilter you want to click on each filter key and hit delete. Click yes when it asks to confirm if you wish to delete the key.
5. Restart Windows.
6. Let me know if this works.

Windows vista does not recognize my mini

So I got a windows vista computer and tried to connect my mini but it comes up saying USB device not recognized. ANY help is appreciated

Hello,
I tried it but it goes wrong while setup, I get a message to connect the webcam and does not go on, setup is waiting and can not come forth.
I opened all the files in the setup with Winrar and tried through Windows and it did not work.
I know it's not your fault, it's very poorly by HP that does not have a driver for something that itself produces.
It would be simple to download drivers when needed.
Now I have an HP product that is not working because HP does not have drivers for all their products.
A big fiasco from HP!
I say again, it's not your fault.

Kinect for windows sensor does not start when using remote WMI

Scenario:
I have written a software (lets call it kinectRecorder.exe) that uses "kinect for windows sensor" to record images. The machine that connects to the kinect sensor has windows 8.1 and kinect v2 installed. The software is able to successfully records
images from kinect sensor when running locally. (meaning if I hit f5 from vs2013, frames are recorded to local disk)
Due to resource constraint and other requirement, I have to remotely kickoff kinectRecorder.exe on the windows 8.1 machine from a windows 7 machine. on the windows 7 machine, I remotely kick off the kinectRecorder.exe using windows WMI infrastructure.
The credential used for windows 8.1 machine and windows 7 machine are the same under same windows domain. the credential used to authenticate in wmi is also the same, I can see the user name running kinectRecorder.exe after kinectrecorder.exe is started
remotely.
Problem:
The result is that kinectRecorder.exe starts ok, but after the kinectsensor.open call, isavailable property changed to false, meaning sensor not detected.
Question:
What's stopping kinect sensor to be detected/opened (i'm not sure what the correct jargon is here)?
I have been search the web, In msdn documentation (known issues), I cannot find the problem being mentioned. I wonder if I'm the only person who has encountered this issue before.
Any pointer is hugely appreciated.

Kinect is not supported within the context of a service because of the underlying need for a user session, see
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/72cecf8b-ac64-47e2-b54b-ddbd1dc237c9/calling-kinect-sdk-apis-from-a-windows-service-is-not-possiblesupported?forum=kinectv2sdk
Can determine that the system has at least one logged in user and can you launch the application within that users session? KinectMontior/KinectService must be running for the runtime to get any data from the sensor. If you use Remote
Desktop to log into that user session, you can confirm this works by running any of the samples and they should work without issue(remember to ensure that your audio remoting is left on the server, see troubleshooting guide
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/20dbadae-dcee-406a-b66f-a182d76cea3b/troubleshooting-and-common-issues-guide?forum=kinectv2sdk).

Windows Service does not start automatically

Hi
I have a .NET 4.5 C# windows service, StartType set to automatic. It is running fine in server.
Few days ago, my server has windows update, including security update for .NET framework 4.5.1. Server auto restarted.
However, my service is not started.
By referring to eventlog, it shown as below sequence
1. Explorer initiated restart - Shutdown type - restart
2. Sql Server Service is stopped successully
3. My Service is stopped successully
-- Server restarted
4. Sql Server Service is in running state
5. My Service is stopped successully
Question is, why my service is stopped instead of running/started? I checked event log and my app log, no error at all.
Any ideas?
Thank you

I was thinking to set "SQL Server", but I am not sure what is the service name for the SQL service name.
Anyway to specify like "SQL Server *" ?
thank you
The default instance service name is MSSQLSERVER, and MSSQL$[name] for a named instance. If you're not sure what the instance is, you could check the services.msc or the registry value in this registry hive:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\InstalledInstances

Are you using IE for the download? Although the following document is about downloading iTunes installers, the same general principles apply with downloading QuickTime installers:

My ipad only showes the apple and it does not start up

when i turn on my ipad the only thing on the screen is the apple logo and this happened after updating to ios 7.0.4

My ipad mini opens, I can put in the passcode. The screen goes to my wallpaper (no icons show up) for a few seconds, then the screen goes back to the apple screen. I have done a soft reboot (off and on),
and a hard reboot (holding down the two buttons)....and nothing....same problem. I haven't found anyone that has had this problem on the internet. I took it back to Best Buy where I purchased it, and they had not seen the problem before either.

Vista does not recognize my iPhone / Not charging

Two problems:
1. Extemely slow charging:
- I've had my iPhone plugged in to the wall all night. The battery meter only shows 20% power.
- When charging from my computer or the mains, the charge icon does not appear.
- I've tried charging off my laptop, desktop and the mains.
- I've tried using the cradle and just the usb cable by itself.
2. Widows does not recognize my iPhone:
- I have Vista 32bit
- I have tried multiple USB ports, all of which work with other devices
- I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about 10 times now
- I have restarted iPhone and my PC many times now
When I start the machine, this is the sequence of events:
1. I get a message saying:
"Windows needs to install driver software for you Unknown Device"
2. I get a message saying:
"Installing device driver software"
3. I get a message saying:
"Windows couldn't find driver software for your device"
- I click on "check for a solution"
4. Then it tells me:
"Windows Vista does not support midiport device"
PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO COMPLETELY CRAZY!!!
Message was edited by: alc02j

The failure to charge sounds like a defective cable. Check this first.
If you are running 64 bit Vista it will not work with the iPhone.
If you are running 32 bit Vista make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (7.5). The reboot the phone - hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears (about 8 seconds).
Here's a tech note on resolving this type of problem:
