After creating partition, problems start

I use Boot Camp Asst. and create a 32 GB partition. at the end of the process, I'm told to "hit the Restart key or hold the power key for a few seconds." Since i have no restart key on my MacBook, I hold down the power key. Then the system turns off. I turn it on again, and reboot. I get an error - osx shut down unexpectedly, do i want to report to apple. whatever. the space i allocated on the partition is gone from my free space, but if I go into BCA, it doesn't seem to know that i've already created a partition. things are screwy and i have to reboot from the Leopard disk and use Disk Utility to repair the disk.
So, how do I get around this? I really want to use boot camp.

I have it all fixed (except that the Windows XP system won't completely shut down or restart into any startup volume...I have to hold down the power button until shutdown, then start by pressing the start button).
AppleCare tech, on two different calls, spoke of a bug in OS X (10.5.2) that is causing the partition problem described by me and others in this thread.
The solution (assuming that you don't have a Windows partition yet) is to install OS X (10.5.1). Don't do any software updates to 10.5.1 until you've completed the Windows install using Boot Camp Assistant.
Remember to have backups.
I didn't exactly follow the solution directly. I reinstalled Tiger 10.4.11. Then I installed 10.5.1 as an upgrade. The reason for this is that I was not warned by AppleCare tech that a 10.5.2 install using "erase and install" would delete the entire iLife '06 suite. I lost iLife '06. That's why I reverted to Tiger before attempting the Leopard and Boot Camp installations.

Problem installating Snow Leopard on old Macbook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo. After creating partition on internal hard disk (Extended Journaled), installation starts but stops at half of the progress bar. Screen asking Restart appears.

Hello:
I have tried installing Snow Leopard via the installation disc on a Macbook Pro (2007) with an Intel Core 2 Duo, but I the installation has failed more than 5 times.
I have first formatted and partitioned the internal hard disk with Mac Os Extended Journal format.
Once the installation starts, it starts without a problem unti lthe progress bar gest until half completed then a screen asking for a Computer Restart shows up.
It asks to press the power button for some time until it the computer shuts down and then, press again to turn it on.
Once turned on, the installation disc gets readed, the installation screen appears again and asks again to start the whole installation process form the beginning.

Then you have a Hardware Problem.
Your system is Crashing part way through the install and Re-Booting because of the crash.
Could be the drive itself or it could be some other hardware part in your system. Like the RAM.
To check if it is the internal drive connect an External drive to the system by USB and do the install on that external. If the install completes then it more then likely the drive is bad. If it crashes again then it is more then likely some other piece of hardware in your system.

Consistent BSOD in Win XP after creating partition

I have a 13" MacBook. I've set it up with OS X 10.6.7 & Windows XP on a Bootcamp partition. I partitioned my OS X HD once again to create space for a OS X 10.7 Developer Preview Installation. Now, when I try to boot up the XP partition, the OS crashed with a BSOD everytime during the bootup animation. When I deleted the Lion partition, the XP loaded perfectly. Basically, the BSOD crops up everytime I partition the main OS X partition. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Aditya Raghuwanshi

Hi,
when adding a partition after Windows installation with BootCamp you change the partitioning structure/numbering on which Windows relys to find its partition.
You have to edit the Windows XP boot.ini file so that it can find its partition again.
Or use a second Mac with BootCamp.

My iphoto freezes when trying to use the standard eBay photo upload, the problem started after a recent iOS 7 update. The album photos don't appear until I try and close the upload and immediately freezes. Attempts to close iphoto fail.

A week or so ago I reacted to an Apple update message. The update completed and this left me with a couple of problems. When the imac started up there was a Glims message on screen telling me that the computer had not closed entirely and asking if I wanted to allow glims to reopen previously open files. I ticked yes and Safari froze immediately. This would happen even after a restart, Safari would start up with the Glims message on my Yahoo mail account. Then whether I clicked on the Glims message or not one of various adverts would appear and Safari would immediately freeze. I managed to override this by quickly entering Safari extensions and subscribing to an advertisement blocking programme. Safari now worked without problems but the blocking programme created other problems mostly with iphoto. The eBay uploaded photos were minute. So I decided to remove the Safari blocking extension and all seemed fine for everything except iphoto which now freezes every time I try to upload eBay photo's using the eBay standard upload problem. Yesterday I changed to the other BASIC upload option and that did work. Thought it might be a one of glitch on the Standard but obviously not. Anyone's help would be appreciated. I note that at least one other member is experiencing the same or similar problem today.

Sorry I am 70 and not very computer literate. Please explain in simpler terms. Perhaps I should have said Apple update for my iMac. It did however include an iphoto update. My imac is 3 years old, I also have an ipad 2 and iPhone and both received iOS 7 updates around the same time.

Problem after creating second library

So I finally decided to create a second library where I placed my aac rips for my ipods. Everything seemed fine.
When I restarted iTunes for the first time after that procedure I held down the option key to pull up the "choose library" dialog box. This is where the problems start. It just directed me to the root of my external HD where my library is held. I thought a dialog box or something would come up letting me choose between my newly created "IPOD LIBRARY" and my regular library. No such luck so I just pointed to the main iTunes folder and iTunes started to launch but with an "updating iTunes" box and it started doing its thing(Why? I have no idea). Keep in mind I have 5000 or so albums in my library. In the background I noticed at the bottom of the interface that it is showing WAY less albums, etc. than I know I have. I didn't want to do a force quit or anything while it was updating because I thought I might corrupt everything. What it did was load an old .xml file from 10 months ago so anything I've imported since last April is not loading into my library. I've tried to restart and choose a newer .xml file in hopes of it being the correct one but what it's loading IS the newest file. What the **** happened? I don't want to lose the countless hours I've spent inserting all sorts of custom tags and groups and such.

Lion Recovery disappeared after creating new partition

Hey there-
Today I created a new partition on my MacBook Pro hard drive in order to install a separate Snow Leopard partition on my machine... Prior to creating this partition, I had my regular Mac HD partition, Lion Recovery, and a BootCamp partition to choose from when booting up. After creating the new partition, I was able to install Snow Leopard on it without a hitch, but now when I reboot and hold the 'option' key to choose the boot source, only the Mac partition, Snow leopard partion, and BootCamp partition show up... Where did Recovery HD go? Is it still on my machine somewhere?
Thanks!

Well like I said, I already have file redundancy with my two computers and if the whole thing dies, I'll just do it all over again... I'm not too worried about that. But yeah, probably a good idea to keep a copy of the installer. I did download it overnight but by then my problem was already resolved, haha. *puts it in safe keeping*
I really only cared for Recovery HD for two things: Find my Mac (it's needed to boot into Guest only mode) and to do file system repairs in Disk Utility if necessary.
When I get a bigger capacity hard drive one day, maybe I'll clone the whole setup but for now I really only wanted that partition back for the two things I mentioned above.
But again, I still insist that the method in the link is a much faster way, step 1 being almost unnecessary.
The 10.7.2 update even includes this exact process in the background to replace the old Recovery partition with its newer version.

Problem : Creating partition is really slow

I have a problem creating partitions between two applications, using Essbase 9.3.1
PartA is on [server]:1423 and contains data
PartB is on [server]:2423 and is empty
They both have the same outline (PartB is a "save as" of PartA)
When I try to create the partition, I got no error but the process is really long (I started it 30 minutes ago and still not finished...)
If I do it on two applications within the same port number (my first test was on 1423), it works fine and takes about 10 seconds to create.
I don't know what's the problem. Any ideas ?
Thanks

DSO activation problem after creating the secondary indexes

Hi,
I am facing the problem with DSO activation after creating the secondary indexes.
Compared with Info Cubes there is no functionality available which allows dropping and recreating a secondary index before/after the data activation.
As a workaround I can write a simple report which drops and creates the indexes on database level.
By using a process chain, we can simply insert the drop index report before data activation and the create index report after the data activation process.
Can any body help me step by step procedure or Material to write the programs for delete index and create index reports on DSO object?..
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks & Regards,
Bala

hi,
in BI if you are using the dso for reporting then you can simply chk the settings of dso for SID generation.
no need to create the indexes or delete it.
if the dso is not used for report then no need to use indexes.

I am using iPhone 4 from the last one year and went dead and got it replaced by paying Rs.12500/- to Nyasa Sion Koliwada Mumbai Service Provider but now again after 38days the problem has started, what do i do? Is this is the quality & service we boost?

I am using iPhone 4 from the last one year and went dead and got it replaced by paying Rs.12500/- to Nyasa Sion Koliwada Mumbai Service Provider but now again after 38days the problem has started, what do i do? Is this is the quality & service we boost? On visiting the store we get only one reply you may write to Apple directely. we have the similar kind of problem with iPad which is being used by my wife Mr.Neelam Vij and paid Rs.16000/- to get it replaced within a year & 6months use. so in totality we have paid Rs.28500/- + Rs. 3000/- diagnostic charges.
1. iPhone 4 , 32 GB Black with Sr. No. 88******A4T
2. iPad 2, 16GB White with Sr. No.DL*******KPH
Moreover, we have no information to contact whom. even the replace set has a warranty of only three month which further confirm that Apple itself is not confident wheather product will last after replacement for more then three month. Such kind of happening do not encourage anyone to recomend this product to anyone. Would appriciate a faster response to our problem if someone from Apple is going to read this email.
Thanks & Regards

Problem in PDF after creating from Indesign CS3 (transparancy)

Hi all,
Please give me a solution ASAP, its most urgent.
We have used two color in one image, the color color is pantone.
First we have selected the one pantone in image and in background another color. After creating PS using Prinergy and Distilling.
I am not getting the result, the PDF which I have creating, the image contain only the main color not the background color, if I use the the "Advance - "Output Privew I am getting the result in PDF, what would be the problem, I have used "High Resolution" in Transparancy, still I am not getting the result.
Please respond ASAP.

Are you colours defined as spots.? If you do not need spot colours in your job, then change them to process in the swatches panel.
Otherwise you will need to configure the RIP honour the overprints.

Network Problem After Creating Database

Hi,
We install Oracle 11g on Windows 2008 server. Everything is working fine till the installation of Oracle software. After creating the database when we restart server the network cable shows a unplug for 20 miniutes.
If we disable all the Oracle service than everything goes fine.
Please Suggest.
Thanks and Regards
Sarfaraz Zomberkar

This is an interesting problem. Please provide a little more information.
* When you state Oracle 11g, exactly which release version: 11.1.0.6, 11.1.0.7, 11.2.0.1, or 11.2.0.2 - did you install the 32 bit Database software or the 64 bit Database software?
* Which options were selected during the installation, and did you tell the installer to create a database during the installation?
* Exactly which Windows 2008 server version: R1 or R2 - and is the operating system 32 bit or 64 bit?
* How much memory is in the Windows server?
* How many network cables are connected between the server and a network switch(es) - you will probably need to look at the back of the server to determine this answer?
* What are the exact names of the Oracle services that you had to shut down - most likely, the Startup Type of those services are set to "Automatic"
* Have the appropriate network person take a look at the log of errors on the network switch that is connected to the server - there is a chance that the network switch sensed a problem, such as excessive transmission errors, and shut down the network port to prevent a broadcast storm or a similar problem.
* Have the appropriate person check the Windows event logs. Do those logs identify the reason why the network port went down?

My problem started when system preferences was unresponsive and would not force quit. I tryed to restart and got the grey screen, but it never restarted. I closed the lid and now the screen is blank. Has anyone had a similar problem after Lion?

No, as I have yet to be convinced on Lion.
