Why after installing iOS 7 my iPad started to reboot by itself, my battery lost autonomy and the iPad got slowwwwwwer?

For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

HT4818 after installing boot camp 4 on mountain lion " Missing operating system"

Hello
I hade a small Windows 7 partition , so after updating to mountain lion , I wanted resize win partition .
I made an image of it , then deleted win partition from utility disk , ( wrong idea )
I didn’t notice that boot camp could erase win partition , anyway I have tried several times , and always after reboot boot camp
I get the same
Missing operating system .
If I boot from dvd install win or if i boot from the boot win partition.
hd and partitions looks OK to utility disk
Any idea to fix the problem ?

I presume that you've followed the instructions for sideloading the iMac Windows drivers into your install via USB stick? (wasn't aware the EFI recognized the SD slot as storage on boot. Now i know)
I always found more success in just slipstreaming the drivers and install.xml file onto a custom Win7 DVD rather than the USB approach when trying with my Late 2009 27" iMac. The Win7 installer needs that enclosed .xml file in the driver package to tell it where to find the drivers so that they be loaded when the Win7 image extracts itself.
If you're using mountain lion, then you should be receiving the proper Win7 driver set. If you wanted to create a custom image, then you can use an ISO file, the driver package and disk utility to make something you can use. Either that or you learn what edits your install.xml file needs to point the installer properly and check it manually.
I don't know what links you have so i'll just include everything:

Direct link to Late 2009 iMac-specific Windows drivers.

I'd try a USB stick and the iMac-specific driver set. It should steer your insolent windows installer correctly.
Hope this helps.

Create 3rd partition after installing Windows 7 on Macbook Pro (Lion preinstalled)?

Hi, currently I'm having 2 partition: Macintosh HD - Lion (~680GB) and Bootcamp - Windows 7 (~60GB). Now I want to take ~600GB from the 1st partition to create a FAT32 data storage. My question is: is it possible to do so without reinstalling any OS?

Do not add a partition after BootCamp. BootCamp manipulates the boot-sector of a Mac disk to allow dual-booting. But manually adding a third partition will break that tenuous multi-boot balance.
Many threads posted by people who need to restore OSX from a backup and lose their BootCamp data due to system instability attest to the tourble you can cause.
Buy an external drive and use that for FAT32 (or EXFAT to allow files larger than 4 GB) storage.

After installing PSE 10 on OS X Lion, no longer able to select pictures from iPhoto library

I've downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my MacBook Pro, which is running OS X 10.7.4. After installation and importing the photos from iPhoto, I noticed that I am no longer able to select images from my iPhoto library from other applications, such as Facebook, Address Book, etc. (ie; typically in a dialog to select a photo or image, simply browse to iPhoto library to get access to all Events, Albums, Faces, etc.).
This capability now seems to be broken even if I browse to the iPhoto Library using Finder. Showing Package Contents on the iPhoto Library reveals that all the images are there.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Drilling into the file structure of the PE Organizer is painful at best.

You assume too much. I am not mucking around with the iPhoto Library.
Here is an example of my problem:
Open Address Book
Select a Contact
Click Edit
Double Click the Photo icon
A dialog appears for me to "Choose" a photo
Click Choose...
Another dialog appears for me to browse to the photo that I would like to attach to that conract
I select my username under "Favorites", then expand the "Pictures" folder
When I click on iPhoto Library, I am no longer able to expand it and presented with the photos, events, faces, albums within it, but only get an icon for the iPhoto Library instead.
This is part of the way a Mac works, and is now broken. It exhibits this in Address Book and any other program, and it was working fine until I installed PSE 10.

PHP stopped working after installing OS X Server on Montain Lion

I have searched prior to posting this and could not find anything remotely related. I decided to install the OS X Server on my Mac that is running 10.8.3. Prior to installing I had several PHP scripts that worked fine. After installation, when I execute one of the scripts, the contents just get printed to standard out instead of being executed. I have even put bad code in the script to test and the php interpretor is not reading the script, just printing (just like cat).
Has anyone seen anything like this? The php version is 5.3.15. Honestly, I don't know what vesion I had prior to installing Server, I am guessing 5.2.x based on looking at saved off config files in /etc

Ok. I have figured out how to fix it. But clearly this makes no sense to me. If anyone has suggestions on why my fix works, it would be appriciated.
I went into my timemachine folders and started comparing files to see what had changed within the php binaries and libaries. I found nothnig had changed. In the /usr/lib/php directory there are a bunch more files and folders. BUT nothing was overwritten or upgraded.
Then I looked at the /etc/php.ini file. Well here was the difference. Prior to installing Server, I apparently did not have a /etc/php.ini file. After the upgrade, there was one (which was the default version).
I renamed the /etc/php.ini file to a backup name and Boom! Everything worked as it used to. Not sure what I might have broken with my server install (so far nothing has surfaced).
Very strange with the removal of the php.ini file, all works great.

After installing firefox 4.0 I've been having problems with rundll error on startup. Norton scan is finding a high risk malware.

Last week I installed firefox 4.0 beta & the next time the computer was restarted a rundll error window appeared that said windows cannot locate file. This file showed up in the startup programs. When norton finds this which is every 1 or 2 days it removes it after a restart but the error & malware comes back. I went back to firefox 3.6 but still have this problem. Can you help?
Thanks, Dennis

It seems unusual that Norton should block and remove firefox updates. Having said that I was posting in a thread about problems with Norton a few days ago see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789617#answer-143767 thread] ''"I down loaded fromFFox the latest down - norton 360 - stopped the down load - stated not to use it - asked to stop running the program - I click yes thinking a problem now on my other computer I cant use FFox as a Browers -"''
I use Norton (NIS) and received only a mild advisory on one Firefox update. I have Windows XP with Firefox3.6.15 & 4RC installed

No matter how many times i reboot after installing Firefox 8.0, still get "Must reboot to complete previous installation"

tried to upgrade to 8.0 without realizing that my son had switched my account to limited instead of administator and made himself administrator. installation did not complete. I changed my account back to administrator and retried. Keep getting "must reboot" message . Tried to uninstall, same message. tried system restore, same message. tried making son's account administrator and reinstalling, same message. can't install, can't uninstall, can't run program, now what?

ITouch no longer syncs after install iTunes 11.1.3.8/ iStore Authorization problem

I installed iTunes 11.1.3.8 last Monday on my daughter's computer.
While I was at work on Tuesday, my daughter connected her iTouch to the computer. My wife reported that all her music was missing and she was trying to put everything back. Subsequently, all the songs got deleted from my daughter's iPod Touch and now it appears unable to sync with the computer.
The songs are on the computer, but nothing on the iTouch.
When we try to sync, we get the following message on the computer's iTunes: "<daughter's> iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod. To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize this computer."
We have tried reauthorizing, authorizing, de-authorizing, reauthorizing... all sorts of authorizing. No success.
Any help would be appreciated. No iPod => my daughter is unhappy (understatement).

Try:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
next try

After installing 10.5.2 I can not reboot

I have tried to boot with os disk and ran disk utility and found no issues fixed permissions and still can't boot. What do I do know? I have a bootable backup but don't know if that is what I should do and don't know how to use or install the backup.
Thanks for the help

If you can provide some information on how you created the bootable backup and what it is stored on (internal?, external?...) someone could tell you how to boot from it. But if the bootable backup is connected to the computer, it should appear on the screen if you boot while holding down the "Option" key. Once the icons representing the bootable volumes appear onscreen, select the one you want to boot from.

After installing 10.5.6, Imac does NOT reboot

Please help. The update was downloaded automatically by machine. I didn' do anything unusual. Closed down all programs and then let the update do its work. It restarted (it seemed with difficulty. It had to reboot itself twice before coming up). Then nothing seemed to work so I had to push the power button down to restart. Then nothing.. now it does not seem to be able to find the boot disk or something.
So it just hangs up on the white screen..
Anybody else has this problem?
fatih

If you didn't back up I don't honestly know what you can do. There are a few other threads out there reporting the same issue.

After installing PSE 8 Windows 7 no longer generates mpg thumbnails

I recently noticed that Windows 7 was no longer producing thumbnails of .mpg files in Windows Explorer. Much troubleshooting produced no solution. Finally I un-installed PSE8, and immediately Windows was able to generate mpg thumbnails again.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a solution (besides un-installing PSE8)? By the way, I have PSE 7 installed and there is not effect on thumbnail generation in Windows Explorer.

Since posting my original message, I have deleted PRE8 and PSE8. I can't remember if PSE8 Organizer was able to make thumbnails for mpg files or not. I'm sorry that I can't answer your question more clearly. I did not want to leave PSE8 and PRE8 installed on my computer because of the problem I described above of how it affected Windows Explorer's ability to create mpg thumbnails. So, I have removed PRE8 and PSE8 from my computer.
After installing PRE8 and PSE8 have you found any problems with Windows Explorer creating mpg thumbnails?

After install of 10.9.2 have problems with rebooting

I have had to reinstall 10.9.2 and won't dare reboot because:
After install of 10.9.2 I reboot and got some kind of error that would not let me get to the logon screen. I'm not sure exactly where the hang up occurs but the output looks something similar to when booting with opt-S. The only thing I remember are words "osx version not set." The only way I could get things working again was to do a fresh install.
The second error occured after installing wireless mouse software that required a reboot. This time I could get to the logon screen but my keyboard no longer worked. In other words, there was a prompt for username and password but no keypresses were being registered. Once again the only thing I knew of to do was to reinstall.
Is there anything I can do to be able to tell if there is some latent problem waiting to happen if I try and reboot? Or should I just keep the machine on all the time now?
Thank you

Fix for continuous reboot after installing Service Pack 3 in Windows XP

After contacting HP Technical Support and speaking to a supervisor we were able to solve the problem of Windows continuously rebooting after installing SP3. Here are the steps that fixed the problem with my HP Pavilion running on an AMD processor. The steps are actually fairly straight forward and easy....
Issue: The computer reboots continuously after installing Windows XP service pack 3
Computer reboots continuously after installing Windows XP service pack 3 on AMD systems. The problem is that with some configurations, SP3 causes the computer to crash during boot, and Windows XP, by default, is set up to automatically reboot when it crashes. That is why you end up in the endless rebooting scenario.
Cause:
On HP computers, the same Windows installation disc image for Intel processor based PC's is deployed for the AMD processor based computers as well. Because the original installation image for both Intel and AMD is the same, all have the intelppm.sys driver installed and running. That driver provides power management on Intel-based computers. On an AMD-based computer, amdk8.sys provides the same functionality for power management.
Symptoms:
Ordinarily, having intelppm.sys running on an AMD-based computer appears to cause no problems. However, on the first reboot after a Service Pack 3 installation, it causes a big problem. The computer either fails to boot, or crashes with a STOP error code of 0x0000007e.
You may not see the error code because the computer reboots too fast. In order to get the error message, you need to set an option during startup. To do so, open the windows advanced menu by tapping the f8 key on startup. Then select the "Disable automatic restart on system failure" option.
Solution:
If you have an AMD-based computer, however, you do not need the intelppm.sys driver and can disable it. There are three methods in order to do this.
Step 1: Please try to log on the system in safe mode.
1. While using Safe mode open the command prompt.... Start, All Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt
Run the following command in the command prompt just like it's typed: sc config intelppm start= disabled
Step 2:
If the issue persists, please try to log on or boot the system in recovery console (refer to the web document)
2. Using recovery console:
If you booted into the recovery console, from a command prompt, type: disable intelppm
Step 3: Please check in registry.
3. Using windows registry:
1. Run regedit
2. Click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. From the File menu, select "Load hive"
4. Navigate to %systemdriver%\Windows\System32\Config on the dead system and select the file name System
5. Name it something you can remember, such as "horked"
6. Navigate to horked\ControlSet001\Services\IntelPPM
7. Double click the Start value and set it to 4
8. If you did what I did and completely messed things up by running a disk check previously, navigate to ControlSet001\Control\SessionManager. Open the BootExecute value and clear out the autochk entries.
9. Repeat steps 6-8 for the other control sets.
10. Reboot

For future reference: Service pack 3 Installation steps:
Before installing the service pack 3 update, please follow the steps listed above and save yourself much time and effort.
To uninstall service pack 3, I suggest that you uninstall it from add/remove programs.
Step 1:
Uninstall service pack 3 from add/remove programs:
1. Click Start.
2. Select Run.
3. Type appwiz.cpl in the run field.
4. Click OK.
5. Click change or remove programs.
6. Select the program -service pack 3 that you want to uninstall or remove.
7. Click Remove button.
8. It will pop up the message stating that "Are you sure you want to remove the programs".
9. Click Yes. It will help you to remove or uninstall the installed programs from add and remove programs.
Step 2: If the issue persists, I suggest you to perform system restore and then try to install the service pack 3 after performing the steps mentioned above in regards to removing the intelppm.sys Driver.

I hope this helps someone who is having this problem. It sure took me a minute to get it all figured out. :0)

Still useful as of 12/30/11. Have ten Lenovo 5042 computers with downgrade licenses to run XP and have a ghosted image from another Lenovo 5042 having and Intel cpu. My target computers all have AMD cpus in them and the image would continuously reboot on
the AMD computers.
Used method 1 and it cleared the problem instantly, many thanks for the post and the time and effort it took to dig up the answer..
