10.5.8 to 10.6.2 with Vista to W7 upgade...can't upgrade to BC 3?

Hi. I had a working 10.5.8/Vista system working just fine. Upgraded to 10.6.2, still worked fine. Installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit over Vista (Quicken doesn't like 64 bit yet..), and it all still works! However, About BootCamp still says Ver 2.2, and running the downloaded BC 3.1 update does nothing (it says it's updating the nVidia drivers..but nothing else happens). Nothing in Device Manager for other video drivers.
Do I need to put my Snow Leopard DVD in and reinstall BootCamp drivers from that? I have a backup of my BootCamp partition, but I'd sure hate to have to start all over...
thoughts? Feel free to pop me an email! (strato19AT_mac_DOT_com) I appreciate the help!

and now..FIXED!!
Putting the SL disk in and running BC caused an install error...I was logged in as a user. I had to Login as Admin instead of user and run CHKDSK. Then put the Snow Leopard disk in again and run the BootCamp.exe. Once that ran I was able to run the BC 3.1 updater that I downloaded. All seems to be fine and happy. BC 3.1/ Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit mode, OS 10.6.2. wheee.
I may jump to 64 bit, but not until Quicken works..It's about the only thing I use my BootCamp partition for

I have an iPhone 3 8gig with iOS 4.2.1 can i upgrade it to iOS 4 or 5

Hi there,
I have an iPhone 3 8gig with an operating system of 4.2.1 but want to up grade it. When I'm connected to iTunes it gives me the option to upgrade but it always says that it's up to date. I rang apple supprot and they advised me that it was possible to upgrade to another operating system and the operator had to go and ask when she came back I was advised to retore my phone, which took about 4 hours, and then restroe to back up and then it should upgrade but it didn't work, it still has the same operating system. I'd say that it's not possible with this phone but I thought I'd check with the community to see if there is a way of upgrading. Thanks and hope someone can help.
regards
John

Sorry to report news you do not want to hear, but iOS 4.2.1 is the very latest version that will work on an iPhone 3G. There is no way to upgrade it to any higher version. On the bright side the phone is perfectly usable with this iOS version, although as time goes on more and more apps are updated to require later versions of iOS.

HT1338 mac mini with os 10.5.4 can i upgrade this?

Hi I've got a mac mini which I haven't really used ever, and apart from iphones/ipad's I haven't got any experience in apple products!
It was brand new when i purchased it and I know it is a 1.66 intel core duo with 2gb ram and a 160gb hdd.
I would like to get this mac mini up to date and suitable for my daughter to use with garage band (hopefully) to connect her keyboard up to.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Brett

Hi Brett,
that is one of the earliest Intel Minis, you can't go higher than 10.5.8 on it...
Pre-Installed MacOS:
X 10.4.5 (8H1619)
Maximum MacOS:
X 10.6.8*
It has the Max RAM that model can use, but isn't going to be pleasant in use with 10.6.8, as well as the very poor Intel GMA 950 Graphics.

Help with my Zen Neeon. Can't upgrade firmwa

Anyone using the Zen Neeon here.. I wanna ask how do you guys upgrade the firmware for Creative players... When I try to upgrade the firmware using the file that creative gave, it says "Device detection failed! Please power off it to generate system file." Pls teach me how to flash the firmware..

It can vary a bit with different players, at least for the flash players. Some you just run the upgrade and connect, whereas with others you have to run a special recovery mode.

We have a Macbook with only 1.667GB RAM, can we upgrade to Lion, as I see it says we need 2GB?

We have several Apple products iPad2 and iPhone 4S. We currently use Mobileme and would like to use iCloud. To run iCloud on our Macbook, it says we need Lion, which requires 2GB of RAM.
Can we add more memory or will we have to buy a new Mac or Macbook.
It would be such a shame as Macbook still performs really well!

You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/faq/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-3-g b-memory-limitation-details.html
OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. Your model is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/

Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as to store information from two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

Yes you can but you need to partition the drive into at least 2 separate drives.
To do that you need to use a Windows PC to do the first partitioning. Say you split the drive into two partitions each 1TB (or close to 1TB) each.
Partition fand format both partitions on a Win PC as one NTFS and the other FAT32.
Then move it to the Mac and Reformat the FAT32 partition Mac Extended (Journaled) with a GUID Partition Table.
I have that same drive and that is what I did originally with it. I now have it just for the Mac as I have other externals for the Win systems.
Good Luck.

Help!! Cant stay connected with Vista.

I have had Verizon DSL for a few years and never a problem. Just recently bought a new computer with Visa ( was using XP ) and my ethernet connection goes in and out. I have a Westell 327w modem. Called the Verizon help and couldnt get anything resolved. I even thought at first it was the ethernet card in the computer but exchanged it and same thing.. All the lights on the front of the modem are on (internet, dsl, wireless, etc.) except the ethernet which flashes on and off when I cant connect. Sometimes it will stay on for the whole day and sometimes off and on all day long. Have to shut off and unplug numerous times to stay connected. Have even hooked old computer back up and it works fine. Is there a patch to download for Vista? A friend said he heard of compatibility problems with Vista and DSL. Can anyone help?

#1 Use ipconfig /all on Vista. See the details at http://www.ncsu.edu/resnet/windows/ipconfig/vista.php
#2 The Default Gateway that you found with ipconfig /all go to with your web browser.
#3 You will be asked for the user name and password. Please enter in the current user name and password for the router.
b) The Default Password is in the manual/user's guide.
I am not sure, but I think the Default user name and password "admin" and "password" respectively.
#4 After logging in to it, press the print screen button on your keyboard.
Go to MS Paint. Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Paint.
Since I do not have Vista - source of info, http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/f5feb1df-8dd7-4ab0-9f65-3c1c89a329ab1033.mspx
Press the CTRL and V keys at the same time.
Save the file as a JPG/JPEG (use "save as file type" as need be).

Ipod not recognized by itunes with vista!!

I (amid all of my other troubles with vista) have updated to itunes 7.2 but am not able to get itunes to recognize my 30 GB video ipod. I perused the other discussions and noticed others have had the same problem but never came across an answer.
thanks

I just got Vista too and it does recognize my ipod, but itunes can't find a lot of my songs on the computer. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it thinking that it would seach for new music when I installed it again but nothing new happened when I did that.

Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

"Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
-The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
-When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
How do I make 5. render properly on vista

We ended up getting iTunes cleanly uninstalled and were able to re-install without issue. All is now mostly well.
Peace...

I synched a Zire 72 with the Access desktop (6.2.2) on Vista for over a year with no problems. My 72 is now dead. I now have a Zire 21 but it won't sync.

Can anyone tell me what steps I have to take to get my 21 to work?

Are you sync'ing the new device to the same username in Palm Desktop as an older device?
If you are, this will cause problems on the new device. When you sync the device, it saves the device settings, 3rd party apps, preferences, etc. in the backup folder in the username folder on the PC. When you sync the new device it copies the contents of the backup folder for the old device to the new device. This will cause corruption in the settings for the new device thus causing erratic behavior of the new device.
You may need to hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
XP
C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Vista
Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
tasks, and memos will come back over.
Show file extensions for XP or Vista
XP
If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a
folder go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
Vista
Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
Another option is to create a new username in palm desktop, export the data from the current name and import into the new username.
