Applemtp.sys (Trackpad) prevent Windows from booting

I just installed Windows with Boot Camp 3.0 (310) and the drivers on my CD with my new Macbook Pro.
Windows don't seems to boot and take many minutes to boot when the applemtp.sys is here (it's the trackpad drivers). It show the Windows logo at startup and between this and the Windows logon screen, it have a black screen for a long time (at least five minutes when it decide to open Windows).
To be able to boot rapidly, I need to disable this file by renaming it applemtp.sys.bck. All work perfectly except I disable trackpad features (scroll, right click...).
Any ideas? I really miss these mouse's features!
Thx

The driver version is 2.1.2.112 and I tried with 2.1.2.100 without more success. I'll try to find older drivers version to view if that help!
Thx

Prevent Windows from mounting the external drive?

From some reason whenever I launch the add and remove control panel Windows starts accessing my external Firewire drive and it seems to keep it from loading the programs list, forcing me to unmount the drive and relaunch the control panel. The drive is just for Time Machine and I don't need access to it in Windows, is there a way to prevent Windows from mounting the drive. I'm using Macdrive so changing the format won't help.

Hi Brian,
usually I would propose to either pull the power plug of the external harddisk or the USB-/Firewire- connection before booting up into Window.
If this is a Firewire-connected harddisk you might have success with disableing the 'IEEE 1394 Host controller' in the Device Manager (Control Panel - System - Hardware).
Hope it helps

Disable "this program is preventing windows from shutting down"

Hi
My application, that I am porting from Embedded Standard (XP) to WES7 uses the standard power on/off switch of a PC to power on/off. I intercept the FormClosing event and cancel the OS from shutting down. I then display a dialog box in my program asking
if the user wants to shut down the system. If they respond yes then I shutdown the system from within my code. This works fine on XP, but with WES7 you get the screen telling you "this program is preventing windows from shutting down". I then have
to press 'Cancel' to get to my application as before. Does anyone know of a way to prevent WES7 from showing this message and allowing my program to block shutdown quietly.
Many thanks
Steve W

pennbank is correct that holding the power button will stop the computer. But it stops *all* processes mid-step, which can leave some of OSX in an incorrect state because of pending internal file updates that were killed. I do not like to use that method if anything else will make it respond. For example, once the computer was not responding when I was using a BT trackpad. I eventually removed the batteries from the trackpad to force it dead, and the release of the BT channel freed the MBP.

Preventing people from booting off CDs etc.

Is there any way to prevent someone who has physical access to an Intel iMac from booting from an external firewire drive or a CD (by pressing "T" or "C" during boot-up)?
regards,
Peter

Although I admit that this is certainly one of the more confusing KB articles, I don't think it meant to imply that you would be SOL if the OS got hosed. It would have been nice if they wrote a separate article for the Intel Macs.
For the Intel Macs there is software to change the password that is accessed from the installer DVD.

Using windows from boot camp on parallels

i would like to switch from bootcamp to parallels. is there some way that i could use the windows that came with boot camp windows after i switch or do i have to buy a new one?

One other thing that may not be obvious in Parallels is the update process. I don't know if mine was just weird or what but I got it April 2010 & whenever I checked for updates it said i was up to date. I was a little suspicious that there were no updates in that period. When I began to have trouble I went to Parallels forums & found stickies at the top of general forum giving the lastest builds (updates) for Parallels 4, 5, 6. So since they listed them there I'm guessing it may not always update by checking for them. So the lastest ones are listed there. I think it is supposed to ask when you install if you want to check for the lastest 1. Can't remember if it did for me or not, but I did discover that there were several builds (updates) newer than the 1 I had.
It was nice being able to run both OS's at the same time. I'm missing it now & looking forward to getting resolution of whatever is causing the problems & getting back to using Parallels.

New kernel prevents computer from booting

i installed kernel26-scsi 2.6.13.4-1 by means of pacman about a week ago, ran lilo, rebooted to find that before lilo loaded the screen had a bunch of "99"s printing across the screen. Once they stopped printing the processor hung. Every time i restart this happens. I booted to knoppix and installed the same kernel again but it still wouldn't boot. so I booted to knoppix again copied the contents of my scsi that i was trying to boot from to my ide and wiped my scsi. I put in the arch 0.7 cd and did an ftp install on the scsi drive. I installed kernel24-scsi since i had trouble with doing a fresh install with udev, lilo, and the kernel26-scsi, hoping that when i got it running i would be able to put kernel 2.6 on it. it still boots to a bunch of "99"s printed accross the screen and stalls the cpu. Is this some kind of hardware issue with the new kernel or can anyone help me solve this problem?

What do you blame me for? I payed deference to phrakture for not giving up. Unlike him, I am tired of asking again and again if one has read this or that. He is constantly helpful, isn't he, while I tend to be snubbed.
As you have not told us you where prepared for udev/devfs - and 80% of help calls here and in irc have been udev related - phrakture had to guess - he did a quick shot and missed. So what?
Let's see if we can help you.
Unfortunately, I don't use or kn ow lilo very well. As far as I know, lilo has some strange issues if beeing used in a dual boot to windows or linux scenario, and some other strange behaviours. Furthermore, 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 etc seemes to be a lilo message that should tell you lilo can't get further then stage one. This can be a damaged mbr, for example, or if windows has repaired the mbr and destroyed lilo, or a physically damaged hard disk. Have you rerun "lilo" or "liloconf"? They will reinstall LILO to the drive and make the second stage loader look in the right spot...which apparently it is not, hence the L 99 99 99 99 ...
As you tried a reinstall using ftp, I think you could try cd based install, to be sure. I would recommend to use grub instead of lilo.

How do I prevent windows from shutting down ITUNES with a Data Protection Execution error when trying to sync with my Iphone 4S in a 32 bit windows environment?

I first was not able to install ITunes 10.5. Apple upgrade installer caused a data protection execution error and windows reverted the process back to the original software. I then removed ITunes through the control panel ap. I removed Bonjour and quicktime. I could not use the windows uninstaller to remove the apple upgrade installer and had to find a fix it program on the microsoft web site to fully remove this program. After doing this, I was able to load and install itunes 10.5. However, now when I try to sync my new 4S phone, the sync only goes to the 2nd or 3rd step before eliciting a DPE error and causing itunes to shut down. I tried making a new user profile. Opened I tunes in the new profile and began to search for music on my computer. The program again elicited a DPE error. I looked to see if quicken was still on the computer and maybe causing a hangup, but it is no longer installed. Ok, I am at wits end and have spent much too much time on this issue. Please help.

I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923 RESTART UR COMPUTER..
c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.
d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

External hard drive with Time Machine prevents IMac from Booting

I run Time Machine without partitions on a G-Tech external hard drive.
My iMac OS X 10.5.4 won't boot unless I first power off the hard drive. I then have to power on the hard drive after the iMac is on to see the hard drive image load on the desktop.
Any ideas?

TimeMachine is designed to perform one full backup when it is first connected to your computer and from then on back up only the files you add or edit. Opening the TimeMachine drive's backup folder from the Finder is basically a no-no. Access TimeMachine via the TimeMachine application.
Assuming you frequently plug the TimeMachine drive in and let it backup and assuming the newer files are on the computer - they are being backed up and TimeMachine will be able to restore the entire drive if/when it is needed.
Just keep these things in mind. TimeMachine runs every hour (when it is connected to your computer - so be sure to connect it at least once a day and let it do a backup) and backs up new and edited files. It is guaranteed to keep any file that is currently on your computer. If you delete a file from your computer TimeMachine may delete it if extra space is needed. The drive you use for TimeMachine really shouldn't be used for any other purpose.

AcroRd32.exe: This program is preventing Windows from shutting down.

Hello,
when i try to shut down i have to kill the process first/Force the shutdown.
Reader and Firefox still running - that shouldn't be a problem?
Is there a solution available?
Thanks!

Thinkpad X130e AMD e300 approved minipci network card and UEFI preventing Fedoraliveusb from booting

I am just wondering where can I find the list for approved minipci wireless network card or disable the UEFI lock for it
I am trying to install Killer NIC N1103 on it
""ERROR
1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in Power off and remove the miniPCI network card.""
One more thing is there anyway to disable the UEFI lock so I can boot from my Fedora live usb?

Hello,
As far as I know, Lenovo offers no way to disable the whitelisting for MiniPCIe cards in the BIOS/UEFI firmware.
You may be able to find firmware that does this from a third-party, but I would imagine that installing it voids your warranty. At least until Lenovo-provided firmware is reinstalled.

Weird issue with DSMOS preventing me from booting

I have a 13" MBP that had a failing HD. I installed a 128GB Crucial HD and put the 10.6.8 image I use on similar MBPs on it and it would freeze on boot with the "waiting for DSMOS" issue. I got my Snow Leopard disc and reinstalled (without erasing drive) and it booted. Then when I tried to install the OS update it stopped booting at DSMOS again. When I wipe the drive and install from my Snow Leopard disc then try updates it does the same thing. I have the 10.7 USB drive and that freezes on boot after re-partitioning the drive. Does anyone have any idea how I can get this thing to boot with an updated OS?
I believe it also needs a firmware update but I can't get that without doing the OS update. I suspect that could be part of teh problem.

How do I prevent windows from being stacked up in the task bar?

This happens even if there is enough room for all of them, and makes it harder to switch back and forth between windows.

You should be able to set this via the properties of the Windows Task bar via the right-click context menu.

285 GTX Mac and Windows XP booting with Boot Camp - Black Screen

I decided to update my 8800GT to the newer 285 GTX. Loaded the drivers, a must first, then installed the card. Booted the Mac and wow what an inprovement.
Here's where the problems start. I used Boot Camp to boot to my Windows XP 32 install in Bay 2. Got the Windows Start Up screen then nothing but black.
I reinstalled my 8800 GT and restarted the computer. I installed the latest nVidia drivers (190.38) in XP.
I reinstalled the 285 GTX and tries again. Mac worked fine when I restarted in XP got the Windows startup screen then nothing but black.
I could use some answers to solve this problem. I believe the 285 is supposed to work booting Windows from Boot Camp but I can't figure out how to make it work.
Thanks in Advance

I know I saw, and tried to help, someone else with the same questions. At that time I think tried to get them to use Driver Sweeper 2.0 and really uninstall drivers and any leftovers.
So there should be another thread here, but maybe also on eVGA forum.
And it doesn't make sense, unless XP or even Apple's leftover Boot Camp drivers. So look for Driver Sweeper 2.0, works better; and there is a thread on evga for removing graphic driver and upgrade.

I have a mac pro wich will not open windows in boot camp i get to the two options select windows but iyt will not load can you help please

i have a mack pro which will not open in windows from boot camp get to the two options and select windows drive but it will not open can you help Please

Hi there, Well, i thing i might have had the same problem (if you dont mean the selecting part, then try keyboad with usb and without if u dont have a macbook pro or so), i did the same and after selecting windows it said "No bootable disk" or " no boot disk" or something like that and the installer wont start when i was trying to install via CD/DVD.
The sulution is to use 2 usb-drives, one for the support drivers from apple and one for the windows it self after burning the CD/DVD to the usb on a PC using the windows own tools and creating a ISO file.
(there might be problems whit CD/DVD install sometimes)
The ISO file on a own USB is the most importat thing!! (and even apple and windows didnt know that but me and a technikal support guy from the store i bought it managed to fix it after like 4 days )
Hope it work now mate!

When playing FarmVille I continually get a window poping open that is title "about blank" it then closes and pops open again, preventing me from doing anything on Farmville how can I stop this?

when trying to play FarmVille with Firefox on my laptop, a window continually pops open with the title "about blank" then it closes, and pops open again right away. Because of this I can not manage to do anything on the FarmVille screen. This does NOT happen on my desktop machine. Both are running Windows 7 64 bit. How can I prevent the window from poping up all the time? Something is continually sending a request, but I do not know what it is. Thank you for any help or suggestions. By the way, Google Chrome works perfectly, but I prefer Firefox.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
