Advice for Windows 7 Install

So here's what I have:
iMac (Generation before current)
2.66 GHz
Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB RAM
about 200 gigs left on my 500 gig hard drive
Running Snow Leopard
If i buy windows 7 (32 bit) and install it on here (just using boot camp, no parallels) how much should I partition. The main purpose is to use an HDPVR I have to capture my gaming consoles. I also might do some gaming with Steam. What is the recommended partition?

Hi,
for Windows 7 a minimum of 40GB is recommended.
Add to that the amount of disk space needed for the programs, games and the files you work with.
A "typical" size for a Windows partition is not there, since it really depends on the useage of Windows.
Regards
Stefan

I just found a way to get Fixit to Run. Go to http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/ and then pick "Install or upgrade software or hardware" and run Fixit from the "Run" button on the webpage. I just picked run, instead of save, and ran it directly from the web page for each of the apple software. If the window doesn't come up full size, hit "Tab" twice and then "Return". You'll be able to see the prompts from there. Have it attempt to uninstall iTunes on its own. Repeat the process for any of the other Apple products, including Bonjour and iCloud. Then, go to the iTunes website and install from there. I had a downloaded copy and installed from there, but it came up with an error about missing the apple help, or something like that. It allowed me to uninstall, and I reinstalled direclty from the website, and it all works now.

Photoshop CS4 for Windows - Installing XP 64

I have heard that Photoshop CS4 is not meant to be used on XP 64 but has anyone here installed it successfully? Is it working?
I am trying to install it on my XP 64 PCs and no go. One of them gets pretty far into the installation process and conks out. The other (newer, faster PC) gets this error message when trying to fire up the Installer:
File Access Denied
Both of these PCs are running AMD 64 bit MBs. The older one has 2 GB of RAM while the newer one has 8 GB of RAM.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. About ready to return the product ...

Thanks Bob for the heads up. I found this text about the release date of Win7:
Q. What is the expected timeline for the availability of Windows 7?
A. We are currently in the planning stages for Windows 7 and expect it will take approximately 3 years to develop. The specific release date will be determined once the company meets its quality bar for release.
Q. Has Windows 7 been released to manufacturing?
A. Were continuing to work with our partners on the development of Windows 7, and are not sharing any additional information at this time.
Q. Is the schedule for Windows 7 being moved up due to poor Windows Vista sales?
A. Were not sharing additional information on Windows 7 at this time. However, were confident that many organizations are recognizing the value in Windows Vista. Of note, sales of Windows Vista licenses have now passed 100 million. In addition, Windows Vista is being adopted by businesses at a rate that is similar to past releases. In the business market there are early, mainstream and late adopters, with the majority of businesses falling into the category of mainstream. Were seeing positive indicators that were already starting to move from the early adoption phase into the mainstream, and that more and more businesses are beginning their planning and deployment of Windows Vista.
You can read the full threaded version at:

Doesn't sound like Windows 7 will be out anytime soon. Thus I may decide to downgrade my older system once I have finished installing all of my programs to my new PC. Or perhaps get a dual-bootable system for my new one.

Jabber for Windows Install

We are deploying Jabber for windows for a customer. Without any jabber-config.xml uploaded the users are able to login without issue and they can search the corporate directory, get images....etc.
The issue is the at the ipphone field is where the users ext is located and we want to change the Work phone to reflect this. It is my understanding that this is where the jabber-config.xml file comes into play. I have created a generic file with the changes to Business phone and uploaded it to both TFTP server and restarted the service. I am able to browse to the url and see the file. When a user opens Jabber and signs in the log files show that they are downloading the file but I don't see it on the workstation, and there doesn't appear to be any errors that the file isn't available.

Thanks,

Advice for clean install of windows 8.1

I finally figured out how to install windows 8.1 from an 8.1 iso and get rid of Toshiba's bloatware. The computer ran so much better, however, I could not get the wifi installed and there was another missing PCI driver.
I went ahead and restored back to the default toshiba image to see what it had configured. Is there a folder on the computer I can copy that has all the drivers? Or even a set of drivers or program to go out and get the correct drivers?
I have a Satellite L55-B5267. I used all the drivers I could find on the site and it didn't seem to be the correct ones.

Nevermind.. I figured it out.. see here;

[SOLVED] Advice for Arch install with rEFInd dual boot Lenovo laptop?

I am trying to plan an Arch install on a new laptop for dual boot with Windows 8.1, but I know there is a potential to cause huge problems so I have been trying to read and learn about the hard disk partition structure and how I might install the rEFInd boot files so that I am still able to boot Windows once Arch is installed. (Unfortunately for some tasks such as updating the maps on my satnav box Windows is essential). However I am really quite unsure if I am doing the right thing in the way I am thinking about the Arch install so I would appreciate any help from experts on the forum.
The laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p which came with Windows 8 pre-installed, with the option to upgrade to Windows 8.1. The upgrade was completed without issue and I then looked into the question of hard drive partitions and boot. I had read posts on the Ubuntu forums about users who had installed Ubuntu on this same laptop and ended up being unable to boot Windows afterwards so I wanted to tread very carefully before executing anything which might cause really major damage. I had also read on the Lenovo forums replies about people who had replaced the hard drive and installed linux only to find that they could not boot to the recovery partitions, with replies from Lenovo moderators saying that if the partition structure had been changed then the laptop would have to be sent back to Lenovo for a factory repair.
On this laptop to get into the bios or boot options you do not just press the power button and hit an F key, but instead there is a special small "OneKey Recovery" button next to the power jack, which opens up with options for BIOS setup and boot options as well as normal boot or recovery. This OneKey Recovery button is therefore needed to boot a usbkey - the power button only allows it to boot to windows presumably until/unless a different bootloader and NVRAM entry is amended.
I have done all the initial ( safe!)changes necessary to move to the point at which I can execute the Arch install. From within Windows (switched off fastboot, and shrunk the "C:" drive to make space for linux partitions). I have also switched off Secure Boot from the BIOS, and made sure that Windows still boots up fine.
The current arch install iso (February 2014) boots under uefi just fine - and of course once booted I have access to the gdisk programme. That certainly showed the pre-existing partitions on the drive (8 partitions with partition number 2 being the EFI partition, and three recovery partitions!) with a GPT partition table, and it should therefore be possible to make the necessary new linux partitions in the now unallocated space on the disk that was freed up with the internal disk management facility within Windows 8.1. So at that point I created three partitions for a root partition (type 8300), a swap partition (type 8200) and another type 8300 partition which will become /opt in the installed Arch system.
In order to try and not make any changes to the partition structure I let the three new linux partitions be number 9, 10 and 11.
I am told that for a GPT disk it is a definite no-no to try to create more than one EFI partition. So I will need to use the existing EFI partition to place the rEFInd files and the kernel once I install Arch.
In this (Y510p) laptop the EFI partition contains the following structure:
BOOT/ - containing only boot.sdi
BOOTSECT.BAK
EFI/ which contains two directories Boot/ and Microsoft/
so EFI/Boot/ contains only Boot64.efi which is likely a fallback copy of the Windows 8.1 bootloader
and EFI/Microsoft/ contains a Boot/ directory - so
EFI/Microsoft/Boot/ contains loads of language specific directories like en-GB/
plus bootmgfw.efi (which I believe is the Windows main efi loader file)
bootmgr.efi
memtest.efi
The scheme that I am planning to use which I have previously used in pure Arch uefi machines, is that /boot is a directory in the root partition, /. That way /boot is an ext4 directory and will contain the kernel and initramfs plus the rEFInd linux config file.
Then I can mount the EFI (vfat) partition as /boot/efi and so I can then make a /boot partition under /. Then the EFI /BOOT/ directory would be seen in Linux as /boot/efi/BOOT/ and the Windows efi stuff would be in /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/Microsoft/Boot/ in which case I would presume that I have to make a new directory in /boot/efi/EFI/refind/ and put the refind stuff including the filesystem drivers there, and let the kernel go into the (ext4) /boot/ directory which would be preferred! However I am not 100% confident that this is what will work and I need to read more before trying to do the install. The thing that concerns me is how the system will handle the uefi boot process, and whether it would auto-detect the Windows efi file as well as the Arch refind efi file once the system has started up?
... and then there is the issue of the NVRAM entries and I am no longer confident that if I use the usual tools to create an entry (efiboomgr or bcfg), that I will get a successful dual boot system!
There is still a chance that I would irrevocably damage being able to boot to the Windows and Recovery partition boot options by messing up the EFI and/or the NVRAM so I have to tread very very carefully with this.
If anyone has gone through this kind of dual boot install with a Windows 8 or 8.1 machine using rEFInd for the bootloader, and can offer advice or help here I would very much appreciate it. I have another pure Arch system which uses rEFInd that works extremely well, but it seems that dual boot with uefi is a rather more complex animal than a pure linux system!

When there is an update to the rEFInd package you need to copy the files across to your ESP from the files contained in /usr/share/refind/ usually you need to copy the refind_x64.efi binary as well as the icons, fonts, and drivers directories. Since there is flexibility in how you configure the kernel and initrd files in terms of where they are located whether you need to do anything else when a new kernel update arrives depends on how you set your system up. If you have the /boot directory as your ESP partition which will then have the kernel and initrd files updated by default then there no need to do anything else when there is a kernel update. If the ESP is then at /boot/EFI and within that is your refind/ directory then that is where the replacement files go if refind-efi gets a pacman update. So it is actually fairly straight forward. If you configure rEFInd to look for kernels in some other directory than /boot/ then you may need to copy the files there after a kernel update but there is more information in the arch wiki about this.
During a refind-efi package update there are helpful files in the pacman output (and log) reminding you of what you need to do. eg for the latest refind-efi update you get:

By the way you can also boot uefi using grub and in fact you can get rEFInd to chainload grub as a backup bootloader as an added safety factor and have both rEFInd as well as grub installed simultaneously. How that can be done is explained in the thread at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=181906

Non-techy language help needed for windows install please

Hi everyone
I am new to mac and am felling more than a little confused about how to get the best out of the software i need to use.
I need office 2007 to run on windows, but i as windows is not already installed, I am not sure which version to buy. I know I don't need parallel software, I just need to do the boot camp thing.
I've tried going through the tutorials but they are really resonating with me as I have minimal knowledge about these things.
Could someone help please?

You suspect wrongly. The Lenovo upgrade disk is one version only, either x86 or x64 but not both.
The Microsoft operating systems licences that come bundled with Lenovo systems (and it's pretty much the same for all vendors) are all for either x86 or x64 only. So Microsoft requires the upgrades to similarly licenced.

3rd party software for Windows install

I'm moving our current installation to a Windows 2003 server and the 3rd party software neeeded is MSC++, MKS Toolkit, GNU make and Perl 5.0053. We
gonna have to buy the MKS Toolkit, anyone know what the minimum TK is
needed.
Mortice Kern now has 4 versions ranging from $359 to $5000 for
single user/single box. The expensive one used to be called MKS Nutcracker,
the $479 one used to be called plain old MKS Toolkit.
Thanks in advance, joe

Thanks to the readers, I found that MKS Toolkit Developer version, $479,
is sufficient for installing Oracle Apps.

Identity Synchronization for Windows install problem

I am attempting to setup a identity synch between our Enterprise Directory Server 5.2p6 and active directory.
I am installing the synch software on a Windows 2003 server.
The issue is that the windows 2003 server is on a specific domain like : our-public.domain.com
And the administrative domain of the LDAP system is simply "domain.com"
Googling this I see there is no option for an ISW silent install and setup.exe seems to have no switches either.
How can i override the local domain name so that it can install itself on the LDAP server properly?
Thanks
Darren

thanks. I found it earlier when I was remebering how to remove stuff that was registered. I was basically getting my intsall error because of aci rights on my base dn. So I'm finally getting to play around with it now.
Quick question. How many of you use this in production. Im just wondering how reliable everything is. I cant have this be a burden and I definetly dont want it interfering w/ my ldap service. I have 2 masters and 3 slaves and I'm just trying to come w/ the best way of installing this in production. Any ideas.

<Edited By Host>

It is difficult to understand your issue from your discription. I have three suggestions.
1. Visit the Boot Camp forum. You posted in the Mac Book Pro forum about your Boot Camp issue. The Boot Camp gurus hang out in the Boot Camp form. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
2. Read the Boot Camp installation guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
3. Do not post personal information such as phone numbers in public forums.

Try running the cleanup utility again. There are like 3 levels of cleaining if I remember right.
Also after running the cleanup utility run this if you didn't before:

Then download and install this free cleaner. It will clean up all remaining crapola left on your computer. Run the drive cleaner and also the registry cleaner.

After that you did not say what OS you have. If you have Vista SP2 or Windows 7 you do not need this next download. If you do need this download it is a newer windows installer 4.5 that takes care of some install problems with software. download if need be and install.

If you have Adobe reader installed remove it.
After you get the computer cleaned out do a defrag.
Go to Start and type in services and click on services. What you want to do is look for windows install entry, look at the startup type, right click on manual, choose properties, change manual to Start, hit apply, then start the service (look for the start button), hit apply if need be, then hit ok to close out, then close the services window.
Now go start and type in msconfig and click on msconfig. Go to the startup tab and look for any Adone product that is checked and uncheck it. If nothing is unchanged then there is no need to reboot.
Ensure any anti-virus is off and windows defender is turned off.
Get your disk and insert it but don't install. Go to computer and right click on it. Choose explore and then look for the PS .exe file. you want to right click on this and choose run as admin.
Then the install screen will pop up. I am not sure when it will ask for the key so have it ready. If the key is good then it will let you know.
When ready to install you want to do a custom install. Install only on C drive. In the install options only install PS CS3 and Bridge. Then install. I don't know how long it will take.
After install reboot the computer. After reboot click on CS3 to least start it up. Shut it back down and do another defrag. Now update your software to 10.0.1. After the download is complete ensure CS3 and bridge are shut down otherwise the software will not update. After that, it is up to you, but I would reboot and do another defrag (Some other posters might think differently: too bad....lol).

Should I let it install "Apple software update for windows 2.0.2"?

Thanks, in advance... it may just be a ditz of a question.
Running Vista and when in Mac occasionally run Parallels, Apple Software Update window popped and this update appeared:
Apple software update for windows 2.0.2 with the description
"This update includes general fixes and renews the root certificate that authenticates software delivered via Apple Software Update."
I figure it was logical enough considering the obvious link but the description just looked to vague. So, I put it off... today searching the internet, Apple Help and so on for this "update" cannot find it anywhere. I have already had problems with file corruption so "fixing root certificates" unnecessarily is not ideal.
Anyone else know one way or another or just tell it to go away for good?
Thank you,
Kylie

I never actually use Software Update excep to tell me there is something (if I hadn't read about it). I go to the standalone downloads. There was one for QuickTime for Windows that you DO want.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
It sounds like Software Update for Windows, and that probably does deserve installing (I use x64 and don't really trust support yet or installers from Apple for now) so I have Apple software update in vista turned off.
I do have the 9-17-2007 2.0.2 "Apple Software Update for Windows" installed.
Why I don't trust Apple: alerts and UAC's are always hidden behind the installer window in front. I just tried to close the windows or dialogue box for Apple Software Update Preferences, it asked for UAC and went black, but I can't even close the box even though all I did was hit "Okay" button. So its 'hung' now.
Apple needs to improve the installer for Vista - a lot. I like not having to type a password every time, that has gotten old after 6 yrs.

Jabber for Windows Voicemail Playback Issue

Hi,
I have Jabber for Windows installed and voicemail is working ok but when I playback a voicemail from the Jabber client the MWI light does not go out on the phone. If you do the opposite ie listen to a new voicemail through the phone the new message indicator goes out on jabber.
Also if you listen to the voicemail through Jabber client the voicemail plays through the PC speakers. Is there anyway in getting Jabber to direct the call to the phone so the user can pick the handset to listen like you can when listening to voicemail through the Unity Connection Web Inbox.
Thanks for you time
Regards
Neil

Hi Neil,
Playing the voicemails in Jabber should turn off the MWI light. You need to open a TAC case and sent on a problem report to debug this further.
For the second question, the only way I think you can do this is by setting Jabber to deskphone mode and then using the "Call Voicemail" button.
