Bootcamp problem (whole system)

Well, i was using windows 7 on bootcamp mode then i create a new partion drive *10gb only for basic files* then. When i restart my mac (holding the option key) it must be 3 drives (the Macintosh HD, Recovery, and Windows) but when it start up windows drive is only there. when i press return key, windows is starting up. the worst problem is it has *bluescreen. it restart again and again. what will i do? i cant access any OS to fix my system

Right I didn't read the last part of your post.
So you can't even boot to OS X. Then you ARE Totally SOL.
Boot to the Online Internet Recovery system, hold down the Command+Option/Alt+r keys at system startup until you see a Spinning globe in the center of the screen. That will boot the computer from over/across the internet from the Apple servers. From there you Re-Partition the drive as ONE partition using Disk Utility and when that is done exit DU and select Reinstall Mac OS X. If you have a Time Machine Backup of your OS X install you can restore that from that same internet boot and get all of your OS X system back.
Buit then you will need to use the Boot Camp Assistant program again to partition the drive and install Windows again.

Safari 4.0.5 Flash problem, whole system freezes

I have just updated to Safari 4.0.5 and when I visit a website that uses flash, my whole macbook freezes, I can't force quit any application, I can't even move the mouse.
I have uninstalled flash and now it is working properly, but that is not a solution, all my other browsers were affected, Chrome, Firefox.
What do you suggest? I really need flash

HI Dan,
Try maintenance..
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting *3rd party plugins or input managers* which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Since you are running Snow Leopard, *make sure Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64*. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
  Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
bpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
If nothing able helps, post a Safari crash report.
How to locate a crash log:
Open Finder.
Click "Go" in the menu, then select "Go to Folder".
Copy and paste this path into the Finder dialog: ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
Click the Go button.
Finder opens the folder containing the crash log. Look for a the crash file with a date field that looks like the *most recent.*

IMovie has frozen up on me. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling the apps- no help. I can play some of the files- but I can't get into the libraries.Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a few minutes. What can I do?

I desperately need your help. I was working on iMovie last night when the thing froze up on me. I've tried rebooting. I've tried reinstalling the apps. No change. I can play some of the files- although I can't tell which ones will play until they magically appear. I can't get into the project library or the event library. The bar that lets me scroll through the clips is gone. Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a couple of minutes and generates a "problem report" that says "iMovie Quit Unexpectedly". This all started when I was adding cutaways- and one clip just would not load. After I tried several times everything froze up. Have you ever heard of something like this? Maybe I pushed a button or somehow changed a setting? Maybe some of the video is corrupt? What do you recommend?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!

I have tried all the above and nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions?

My Mac keeps crashing (whole system) when I'm watching videos with Firefox, any idea why?

Ok so I got a new mac and as usual install firefox which is my favorite browser, suddenly my computer started crashing, not just firefox the whole system froze and I had to reboot to make it work again, I didn't know what was happening until I noticed that said crashes happen when I was watching videos on firefox, I tried to use chrome and the issue was gone. So anyone has any idea why this is happening? I really would love to start using firefox again!

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
If this does not fix the issue, you may need to reinstall Adobe Flash Player on your computer.

Adobe Bridge CS4 Hangs and whole system goes down.

Adobe Bridge CS4 Hangs and whole system goes down.
This is happening when I just finished edition RAW files in ACR and hit DONE, right after that a Bridge hangs, Cannot open Explorer, PC functions are down, cannot start anything, cannot stop Bridge process, cannot properly restart. Only holding power button shuts donw PC forcefylly.
I happens once per 10 edits of RAW files and super annoying.
Pleeeeease help!

No wonder I think this is Bridge.
That is indeed a tempting thought, have you already tried the refresh preferences for Bridge using ctrl key pressed down while restarting Bridge?
But Bridge is very critical in reacting on odd system behavior, so also keep the advice of Station-Two in mind. On a Mac repairing permissions often solves problems, don't know the PC equivalent of this.

Photoshop CS5.1 64-bit crashes whole system when using Wacom Cintiq 13HD

Hello,
I've got a big problem and Wacom Support/Forum wasn't really that helpful at all, so I hope someone here has the answer.
I'm using:
- Windows 7 Premium 64-bit with Service Pack 1
- Intel i7-267OQM 2,2 Ghz CPU
- Nvidia GeForce GT 635M 2GB
- 8GB RAM
- Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 64-bit
- on an ASUS N55S Laptop
My new Wacom Cintiq 13HD runs just fine while just browsing on the internet, with Adobe Illustrator (so far...) and Easy Paint Tool SAI.
But everytime I open my Photoshop it's just some minutes before my system freezes for a second, than blue screen appears und my whole
System crashes down. Every. damn. Time.
I read in the Wacom Forum that more people have this problem, but all suggested solutions by Wacom just don't work.
Here's the link: http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14060
The one thing I didn't try is using the USB Extensions, so I will buy some tomorow and try that too.
But maybe someone has an other idea that could help?
I tried all drivers Wacom has avaible but it still happens. I updated my Adobe Softwares, my BIOS, my graphic card, I restarted countless times,
but nothing seems to work.
Help me, please!

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer

If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any new installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

How do i recompile whole system with glibc and gcc from test

I always run testing and hence upgraded all my system a couple of days back. How ever one pprogram i use very often, BLENDER isn't working after i upgraded glibc and gcc4. I have recompiled it but when I get all this errors when i start it http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=21825.
I think i need to rcompile all its dependant programs with new glibc and gcc from testing also. Problem is I dentifying which programs to compile is proving a pain as the dependant programs also depend on other programs etc...
Is there a way to recompile my whole system without having to do it one by one?

if you want to compile everything, gentoo is an option. But abs is excellent too.
P.S. Gentoo's compilation drove me out of it

To reinstall the whole system using the recovry cd

Product: Notebook Toshiba tecra A4.
As the system files were corrupted i tried to recover the whole system. After inserting the recovery cd and copying the files i removed the cd and restart the computer. It comes up to the field where i have to give the computer a name. At this moment it freezes. No reaction at all. I reaptedly tried and waited each time up to 20 to 30 minutes. there is no responce at all. how can i fix this proble?

It is very strange because units and recovery procedure are tested before the units are delivered. If you didn?t change Hardware configuration and you se it without any external devices you should clarify this with your local dealer or with Toshiba authorized service partner directly. Call them and explain the situation.
I don?t know how old your unit is but if there is some serious problem the valid warranty will cover the repair costs.
Sorry pam but I am really out of idea.
Anyway good luck and if you find out what the problem is please let us know because your issue is really individual case on Tecra thread.

Aperture 3.4.5 crashes my whole system

I've upgraded to Aperture 3.4.5 and it crashes my whole system (21.5" iMac).
When it is opened all other apps become unresponsive and eventually the whole system hangs with the spinning ball.
I bought an iMac because I was sick of Windows crashing every time you asked it to do something - this I'm afraid is no better and definitely not what I was promised at the time of purchase.

and a 1TB external drive for storage of photos
Is this drive formatted for Mac? If it is not formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled), Aperture may have problems and hang.
My system runs well when Aperture isn't running but as soon as I start it, the problems start.
Check, what Aperture is doing: Open the Activity Viewer (Aperture's main menu bar > Show Activity)
What does it show?
Is it constantly processing the same image or video?
Is Aperture faster, if you hold down the shift-key while launching Aperture? That will disable some of the background processing.
I've been through all the trouble-shooting and the upgrade was from version 3.4
Which exactly? It is hard to suggest something, if we do not know the results of the steps you tired already.
Regards
Léonie

When I try to read my rss-feed through yandex service, the browser and the whole system freeze for a significant amount of time. This started with Firefor 5 and is very unpleasant. Thank you in advance.

When I try to download (and especially renew) a page with my rss-feed that I read with Yandex service, the browser freezes, and then the whole system freezes. It typically takes about 5-7 minutes to load a very minimalistic page, and I can't use my browser or my system during that time.
This started with the release of Firefox 5. I use it on Ubuntu. I haven't experienced similar problems with any other websites.
I have already contacted the Yandex team about the matter.
I guess it's just a little weird that one of the Yandex services won't work in Firefox, as Firefox comes with a built-in yandex-bar in many cases. And it sure is frustrating.
Thank you very much and I am looking forward to your reply.

Time machine on Lion crashes the whole system when used with external HD

Hi all,
Anybody got the same problem? I did a Time Machine backup just before I did the upgrade to Lion (using an external USB HDD) after the upgrade (that went well in my opinion) when I ask TM to do another backup it stays on "Preparing" indefenately and ultimately crashes the whole system ( reset with ctrl+cmd+power button) is required otherwhise the system stays non reactive.
Regards,
Iwan

Start by verifying your internal HD, and repair your backups, per #6 in Using Disk Utility.
If that doesn't help, see #D6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for a possible way to cancel the backup. If that works, use the widget in #A1 there to display the backup messages from your logs. Locate the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages here.

Adressbook on new MacBookPro with 10.67 very very slow and so the whole system...help please?!

I already deleted intelligent groups, deleted half of the contacts, deleted preferences and reimported contacts after deleting and so on....no clue the addressbook is slowing the whole system down it seems. What to do?

Nope, it came with the upgrade to 10.7.2.
I've also tried to reinstall Lion yesterday. Nothing changed.
I've not visited the Cisco support site but I did a bit of search and it seems that nobody, except me, has this problem.
Certificates in the keychain file?! I'm just browsing to facebook on https for example... Don't know what you mean exactly with certificates. But anyway, this is not the problem, rather I think that this is just a part of the bigger problem. ;-)
At home each SSL secured website works pretty good.

The Apple Bootcamp implementation uses a Hybrid MBR, which has a limit of 4 partitions. OSX utilities use GPT, while Windows uses MBR scheme.
When you installed you-know-what, it removed the Hybrid MBR and put the entire disk into a Protective MBR as your fdisk shows.
Option 1.
1. Backup your Windows partition to an external disk using OSX side. You may not be able to use it again.
2. Please backup your Mavericks side via Time Machine.
3. Please remove you-know-what from your system, and the corresponding GPT partitions.
4. Erase your disk, and re-store from 2 and re-install Windows.
Option 2.
1. Backup your Windows partition to an external disk using Winclone. You may not be able to use it again.
2. Please backup your Mavericks side via Time Machine.
3. Please remove you-know-what from your system, and the corresponding GPT partitions.
4. Erase your disk, and re-store from 2 and re-install Windows via Winclone.
Option 3.
1. Backup your Windows partition to an external disk using OSX side. You may not be able to use it again.
2. Please backup your Mavericks side via Time Machine.
3. Please remove you-know-what from your system, and the corresponding GPT partitions.
4. Create a new Hybrid MBR, with appropriate information and bring up Windows, using Startup Repair, if necessary.
Option 4.
1. Backup your Windows partition to an external disk using OSX side. You may not be able to use it again.
2. Please backup your Mavericks side via Time Machine.
3. Create a new Hybrid MBR (different from Option 3), with appropriate information and bring up Windows, using Startup Repair, if necessary.

Is rosetta killing the shadows of the whole system?

is rosetta killing the shadows of the whole system?
when i start an adobe app which needs rosette (photoshop, indesign, illustrator .. all CS2), all shadows of all windows (finder, mail .. every dropped shadow of any app in the whole system) are broken (ugly black lines instead of the smooth shadows).
i have to restart the macbook to solve this problem. very anoing.
ms office is doing well .. no such problem.

I'm having the drop-shadow problem, too (it's been showing up on my MacBook since the machine arrived three days ago); for those who haven't seen it, here's a screen capture.
But for me, it doesn't appear to be a Rosetta issue. I can sometimes use Rosetta apps (like Eudora) for hours without it happening, and when it does happen for me, it's often just on one or two windows, in apps like Terminal and Finder.
I called Apple Support yesterday; they said to take it in to a Genius bar. I did that today; the Geniuses on duty (who were very friendly and polite) said they'd never seen anything like it. One of them recommended re-seating the RAM (I haven't done that yet, but will shortly), and if that didn't work, doing an archive-and-install. Which I can do, but it's a little frustrating; this happened right out of the box (modulo my files and apps that got copied over from my PBG4, which of course didn't have this problem), so I don't think reinstalling the OS is going to help. But I suppose it's worth a try. (The Genius offered to do the reinstall for me, of course, but I hadn't quite backed up everything so I declined.)
Anyway, I'm posting 'cause (a) I wanted to let you know you're not alone, (b) I wanted to weigh in on the Rosetta aspect, and (c) I wanted to point people to the screen snap in case they haven't seen it.
I suppose I may as well point to my full journal entry for more details.
