Any known problems w Win7 updates in either Bootcamp or Parallels?

I have been running Win7 I think 32 bit in Bootcamp & w Bootcamp set up as a vm in Parallels 5 on my April 2010 MacBookPro w Snow Leopard latest update.
I have decided to update to Mountain Lion which meant I needed to either upgrade Parallels or just go to using Bootcamp which is a pain w having to re-boot.
Got an offer for a Parallels upgrade from ver 5 to ver 8 so decided to take it. I also have downloaded Mountain Lion.
I have not been using Windows very much in the last year + so had not thought to run Windows updates although I did keep the Security Essentials updated.
But I figured that before doing the upgrades that I should have my existing setup updated. So I ran Windows updates & saw some going back as far as Dec 2011. After restarting a few times & closed it & was on the Mac side & tried to start Parallels Parallels opened but when I selected my Bootcamp vm, I got an error message saying the version of Windows is not supported by Bootcamp. Huh? I just ran the updates which should not have changed the version. I think I had also updated Bootcamp which I had avoided doing since I had read of some problems w that & Parallels & I had had major problems in early 2011 that we never did figure out, but Genius bar ended up replacing logic board, HD & bracket &told me to only gradually install what had been on there besides Apple software.
So I went ahead & shut down & tried to start up in Bootcamp. About half the time since it gives me a message that it couldn't start normally & asks if I want to fix it. I've been saying no. 1 time it got stuck tryig to fix it so I finally had to power down.
Parallels suggested doing a clean install when I asked about it. I did not feel comfortable adding new updates to software that is not stable.
I am also I think going to get rid of the Bootcamp partition (which I had wanted to make the windows part smaller rather than 50 50.)
But I'm concerned now about when I do reinstall Windows7 (which I'll likely have to call Microsoft about since they may think it is a not allowed additional installation. Not sure whether I've gotten my 2 installations since the last time or not.) Whether I will get the same problem if I do run the updates? But I know they have a lot of security updates that are supposed to be installed, but something messed up my system & I don't want to have that again.
On another but related note, since I will be doing some major changes I'm backing everything up. But I never have got the hang on the file structure in Win7. So I ran Windows backup using the default which shows that it backedup files in libraries & personal folders for all users. Would that include my Outlook data & emails? Most of that has already been gotten over to the mac side--although they did me a disservice I guess it was when I was switching from Win mobile phone which I synced to Outlook to my iPhone 4S. Apple store didn't pay attention that I was switching from a PDA phone & I should have 1st synced my iPhone to Outlook & then synced it to my Mac applications. Instead they just transferred the phone info like Verizon would do which is really lame for someone already using a smart phone. I lost my contact pictures & other info got messed up.

ran windows7 ultimate 64bit under lion bootcamp without problems at all
updated to mtn lion
and ran windows8 pro in VirtualBox which is a free alternativ to parallels without problems at all
updated the windows 7 to windows 8 in bootcamp
because it's still using the win7 drivers sometimes it fail to boot and reboots but it always get up the 2ed time
and once inside win8 it have yet to crash
and yes windows update should include all application data which include outlook stuff and windows live mail stuff too if you use that

Any known problems with iPod Updater 2006-06-28?

I was wondering if anyone's had any issues with their iPods since updating with the iPod Updater 2006-06-28.
Thanks!

I was a fool. I refrained from updating because I knew better than to try to fix something that isn't broken, but I was hungover and upset about the fact that whenever the headphones cord wiggles my ipod pauses. I was convinced for the split second in between two throbbing beats in my head that perhaps the new update would give me an option of shutting that aspect of the ipod off. Woe is me.
Now 10 gb of my music is unavailable. The ipod just skips over it. It didn't delete the files, they're all still there, I just can't play them; not on the ipod nor on the computer (not original computer for ipod). In Itunes an exclamation point shows up in the first column whenever I try to play certain songs, but there is no information about what is wrong. If I go to info on these songs there is no entry for Profile: Channel: or Encoded With:, unlike the rest of my songs that still work.
Any hope of recovery?

Updating eMac from 10.4.0 to 10.4.10: any known problems

We bought my wife a late-generation eMac from the Apple refurb site about 18 months ago. that came with Tiger 10.4.0. Because it's been so stable (we can't remember a single failure) and my wife is nearly always using her computer, I never applied the OS updates.
Now she's traveling for two weeks and I'm retired, so I'm considering taking her Tiger installation to the top (we'll wait to see if Leopard in in the budget)
I know with some older version of OSX, there was a order issue with SW Updates. Example: some Beige G3s had problems if the 10.2.8 Combo Update was run on a system with the base install (10.2.3). They needed "stepping in" (base > 10.2.4 > 10.2.6 Combo > 10.2.8 Combo) to work properly.
I know to run Repair permissions before and after any SW update. Any known problems with taking a late eMac all the way with the 10.4.10 Combo updater? I'd hate from her to home home to a problematic computer!
As the computer in my equipment line below is not hers, here are the particulars for her computer:
eMac ATI graphics 1.42G—512MB RAM—80G HD—combo drive—10.4.zero
Thanks in advance,
Allan

I recently updated my eMac from Panther (10.3.x) to Tiger and let it go ahead and update by downloading the 10.4.10 patch from Apple. It has been some weeks now and so far no issues to report. So it seems ok. And my eMac is a version before yours.

Is there any known problem using Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.04 with Java 1.7?
I have already downloaded Java 1.6 but don't know whether I need to uninstall Java 1.7 first. If don't need to uninstall Java 1.7, how can I set Oracle SQL Developer to run with Java 1.6?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
One prior post discussing the use of Java 7 is:
SQL Developer 3.0 and Java SE 7?
There is no need to uninstall any Java version (except if you have disk space constraints) and no problem switching between Java versions. This may be controlled in the sqldeveloper.conf file in your ...\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin directory via the SetJavaHome line. For example:
#SetJavaHome ../../jdk
SetJavaHome C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_26
#SetJavaHome C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0Regards,
Gary Graham

1080i25p - any known problems in FCP 5 or 6?

Hey all,
I'm going to be shooting 1080i25p on a Panasonic HPX171E.
The project should finish up by being projected or shown on a monitor/ TV playing from a Blu-ray HD dvd.
Can anyone tell me if there are any known problems or difficulties editing 1080i25p in Final Cut 5 or 6?
Is it better in anyway to shoot 1080i50i? Does this avoid any issues by cutting out the progressive conversion?
Many thanks,
Richard

25p is not supported in FCP 5...only FCP 6. Well, FCP 5.1 too, but FCP 6 is the better one to use.

Any known problem for C2D 15" Glossy Screen?

I have a C2D 15" Matt screen model now and I have all those problem everybody else had here with the 9C60, uneven backlit, grainy etc.
I've contact AppleCare and they said they can replace my machine.
They said I can have Glossy if I wish to.
Are there any known problem for the Glossy Model?
If the Glossy model doesn't have all those problem. I think I'll ask for the Glossy one.
Please tell me if there are any so that I won't make another wrong decision.
Thanks so much!

Actually I don't feel anything wrong until I read the threads here.
But can you guys take a look of it and tell me how's this piece of 9C60?

MSI P67A-C45 (B3) - any known problems?

I was seriously considering an MSI board for my dads new £500 gaming PC but when I google MSI P67A-C45 (B3) google showed 5 or 6 links to this forum of problems and it put me off as a few off them were overheating issues..
are there any known problems with this board? im worried I may regret choosing the cheaper board
thanks

I Was going to buy corsair 1600Mhz as the board supports that speed without overclocking does it not?
Quote from: snadge on 25-June-11, 23:51:08
yeah ive been told something similar eslewhere (sandyBridge only supports up to 1333) - but wont they run at 1333mhz anyway? if thats the max the chipset allows? MSI should put (OC) next too speeds above 1333Mhz so users are aware..
I think we will just be getting 1333Mhz then

Any known problems with "Xtreme Game Fatal1ty Professional Series" and Nforc

Hello,
i plan to replace my audigy2 with a
"Xtreme Game Fatalty Professional Series".
There are known problems with the card itself and with the Nforce2 chipset?
My board:
MSI K7N2 Delta-L (nForce 2 Ultra400 chipset)
thanks

If you are up for the battle that MIGHT transpire with either one of these cards then your welcome to it. EAX will work on games that nati'vely support EAX and the openAL API. Games that are direct sound only will require the ALchemy program to make them work correctly. You can find a list of openAL nati've games on the openAL site...sorry don't have a link for you right now but google it. You might be able to find the list of Direct SOund games that ALchemy works on by going to the ALchemy site as well.
For the most part, stuff is working but I would highly advise you do more research before purchasing any sound cards from Creative. Just check the forums and look under the Vista posts as well as here to get a taste of the issues many are having.

Any known problems with 2.6.32.5 kernel, xorg 1.7.3.902 and nvidia 190

Hi everybody.
Last update I did was when xorg 1.7.x (where x is between 1 and 3, dont remember), and it broke my xorg, I had some glitches with graphics, and x randomly crashed.
Now xorg 1.7.3, kernel 2.6.32.5 and nvidia 190.53 is here for pretty long time and as arch suer I feel committed to update
So i read the forum here a bit, and havent found any particular issues that broke the system, but I want to be safe.
I got nvidia geforce 6600 agp if it does matter.
So is there any particular issues that can arise after updating?
Thanks a lot!

Similar problem here, after updating xorg and nvidia driver the system freezes with nvidia logo on display and caps lock and scroll lock leds blinking.
I got nvidia geforce 7300.
Any solution to this besides downgrading?

Any known problems with FCE-HD and "Capture Now" or edits

I've been working with FCE for almost two years now. I've had the same problem ever since-- The SPINNING PINWHEEL OF DEATH when: playing back edited video from the timeline and the playhead passes over various edit points, usually cuts. Is it a CAPTURE problem, or camcorder RECORD problem, or something else? I use a SONY DCR-TRV38 with firewire; FCE-HD;
Any thoughts on why I get this problem so often, and what I can do to avoid it in the future? should I just switch to Avid or Premier??
Thanks for any help...
Shawn

Hi Shawn.
I don't think there is a "known problem".
I assume your HDs are not more than 75% full or fragmented?
If you have not already done them, try the old chestnuts of Trashing the Preferences and Re-installing FCE.
1. Make sure you trash all 3 of the Preference Files as detailed in this article:-
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93690
2. If that does not work then re-install FCE but make sure you delete all the old FCE files first as shown in this link:-
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301182
Good luck.
Ian.
PS. When you write in with a problem, remember to give all possible APPROPRIATE details eg.
Computer model and external Hard Drive.
Operating System.
FCE version.
Camera type.
Did the problem suddenly occur or has it NEVER worked?
Have you recently loaded new Software or Upgraded ANY programs, Operating Systems etc.
Have you moved or altered your source files?
Have you captured the clips from a DV camera or an A/D Converter etc.?
Is it Standard or High Definition Video?
What type of files are you using?
Also include details of exactly what you were doing before the problem occurred.
Is your film hours long and filled with numerous transitions and effects etc.?
THIS IS A GENERAL LIST. SOME OF THEM WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Any known problem to support HD.323

Hi, I have a client reported that when he was using HD.323, he found pkt loss about 8%. The network is consisted of cat6500 and cat3750, all of interface are 1G. The throughput for the application is about 2Mps.
IOS version for 6500 is 12.2(33)SXH5.
IOS version for 3750 is 12.2(25)SEE3,
I am wondering there is any known issue related to support HD323 for these network switches/routers?
How can we verify the throughput and prove or disprove it is the network issue?
I have CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 installed.
Thanks for help in advance.

To disprove a network issue, do "clear counters", begin application, show to user that all packets have been transmitted, counters do match, and there are no drops and no errors throughout the entire path.

Matrox Millenium P650 and MSI K8N Neo 2. Any known problems?

I got myself the incredibly cool Zalman TNN 500AF, with an Asus motherboard A8V Deluxe, AMD athlon 64 3500, 90 nm, 2 x 512 Samsung PC3200 and XP SP2, and alas the system cannot be worked with the P650 and the Asus motherboard; we have tried the latest BIOS for both graphic card and motherboard.
A friend of mine will buy the ASUS motherboard and I plan to buy an MSI K8N Neo 2 and wonder if you have experienced any problems with the particular Matrox card P650 and the MSI board. Do you know about any compatibility problems? I do not want to go through the rather compicated installing of yet another dysfunctional system.
Thank you in advance! If you like images, I share some here: www.vivotopia.org/worldcitizens (it is mainly people from all over the world)
All the best!
Stefan
