Bootcamp - W7 issues once installed

Hi Folks,
so I will try to put this simply .... Here we go.
I Bootcamp a iMac, one the Newer ones ( no DVD/CD Drive, slim lined ) install W7 all works well even to the point where W7 first opens once installed, you know when all the icon's are massive.
I even get everything working Keyboard & mouse wise ( wired or Bluetooth ), both work, then it goes Tits up ......
I install the BC drivers, even do some W7 updates, then machine re-starts, as it does, thats when it all goes wrong ..... fails.
The nice new W7 opens, looks great nice and crisp, except on thing ..... the bloody Keyboard and Mouse now won't work, Zero movement, not a sausage .
The worse bit is that if I use the wireless mouse W7 see's it and ask me to 'click here' ... I can't.
I have re-installed several time doing different ways just to try and get it to work - USB drive, DVD drive with disc. Still the same result ..... Zero
So my question folks, can anyone please help
I've installed BC on 2 other Mac's ,One newer type and one with the DVD drive and both work, but not this one ................ And even tried with 10.9 & 10.10 still the same result.
Steve

Thanks for the 'congratulations' I'm not there yet but close Anyway it's only a number
You'll get there at some point too, but not for many years yet
I will have a go at all of this Fine advice on Monday when I get back to work .... this will not defeat me
And then we will see what happens .... it's just baffling that it works on others ( including my Mac here at home, even though I did it with 2 USB's ) but not on the one at Work .........
I really would like to work because I'm the one ( old that I may be ) who thinks outside the Box, meaning if I can it to work with-out issues, the Powers that be
may go with my idea, buy More Mac's, install BC, and you get the best of both worlds on just one computer
Now what's wrong with that More Mac's less windows
I'll report Monday if it works out.
Thanks again for your advice and time, have a good week-end

Bootcamp 5 & Windows 7 install

Hello. I wanted to put this out there after getting terrible phone support from Apple over my bootcamp installation. After my harddrive died and was replaced by AppleCare, I had been attempting to install Windows 7 Home Premium on my iMac for over a week with no luck, and multiple phone calls of worthless advice from AppleCare on the problem and solution. My iMac: mid 2010, 21 inch running 10.8.3 with Bootcamp 5. When installing, I would have no troule partitioning the drive, and it would reboot to windows install disk only to get held up right after selecting Language / Keyboard with the message that a CD / DVD driver was missing and could not be found. I did create a USB drive with drivers from Bootcamp 5, but none of these would satisfy Windows 7.
AppleCare phone support insisted that Windows was NOT looking for a driver on the USB drive and the problem was from other issues: My first install used a DVD burned from an ISO file (obtained from microsoft and burned at slowest speed). They insisted that if I obtained an original instal disk of Windows 7, it would install correctly. So I purchased an OEM version of Windows 7 from Fry's for $99. Attempted install: same message about a missing driver. AppleCare claimed I needed a full version at $199. The AppleCare supervisor GAURANTEED this would be the problem. Fry's would not exchange my disc which was already opened, but informed me they'd be happy to install it, and it should not be a problem. After talking with the Fry's tech team, I attemped another install using the Bootcamp 4 drivers, downloaded from apple, and stored on a USB drive. Bam. Installed NO PROBLEM.
The problem was with Bootcamp 5 drivers (stored on a USB by Bootcamp) did not work on my system for the Windows 7 installation. This despite a number of assurances from Apple that the Bootcamp drivers were not the problem, THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. I wasted a week of my life trying to get Windows 7 reinstalled. Please apple, get your act together and fix this issue, or at least give your customers accurate advice. If nothing else, maybe my message here will save someone else the headache.

Thanks again for the reply CS. Now I do actually have a question or two. This install was a reinstall of windows 7 after getting my iMac's harddrive replaced for Smart errors. And yes, I found the inability (or perhaps just a lack of doing so?) to back up my previous installation of Windows and have it easily restored in Time Machine to be a major PITA. I have been considering getting Parallels, or something similar. If I do, I'm wondering two things:
1. am I able to use my OEM version (tied to one machine, the same one that it is installed in Bootcamp on)?
2. Does Windows 7 within Parallels then get backed up in Time Machine, making it easily restorable?
thank you!
1. Yes, but you will have to activate one of the two manually (phone call to MS)
2. Yes, a VM is just another file, can be copied / moved / backed up like any other file.
And even though there was no 3
3. Parallels would be my last choice of VM, it is the fastest but the least reliable in my experience. From preference I use VirtualBox, and not because it is free, I own Fusion but no longer use it. Try VBox before spending money on another.

An issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on Ubuntu 10.04-64bit

Hi,
I'm running into an issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on my Ubuntu 10.04-64 bit installed machine using oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb package. The issue actually came up when I was trying to reinstall the package after uninstalling it due to some problem I had with my login credentials. To elaborate further on it, the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script does not get created when I execute the debian package and thus i'm unable to configure the required credentials and stuff after the installation. I doubt whether this has something to do with the procedure I followed when uninstalling the previous package it. But what I did was just what's mentioned in the following [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm] user guide published by oracle.
Another important clue would be, the platform of my machine is amd64bit although I'm dealing with an installation package preferred for i386. But I believe it's the only thing available in the oracle software download section. Hence I had to use the --force-architecture option to install it. But after reading some post published on this forum, I've figured out that it does not affect the usual execution of the software. Anyway, I would greatly appreciate some help on this matter.

Hi,
Finally I've managed to find a solution for this issue. Thanks a lot for all the replies.
Here's how I got rid of it.
Addressing all the facts one by one,
1.The problem of not getting the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script generated was avoided
by removing all the configuration files that were previously created while installing
the product. The following command can be used to accomplish that task.
*$ dpkg --purge oracle-xe*
2.Next, Initially the password I used during the configuration process was "admin".
Although I tried a couple of times installing the product providing the aforementioned
password, the web UI kept prompting "Invalid Credentials" message not allowing me
to login. But, this particular issue could be avoided by giving some other simple
password.
Finally, got it working and once again thanks a bunch for taking the burden of
replying this thread.
Cheers,
Prabath

Having issues after installing Essbase V9.3.1,configuring the SQL interface

I am having issues after installing Essbase V9.3.1 and configuring the SQL interface. we are using UNIX/AIX box for our Essbase server and UDB DB2 9.1 SP6 as our SQL Interface.
When tried to run an ESSCMD script to perform BUILDDIM operation on Essbase application using the load rule (with the SQL interface), got the error as recorded in the application log file and is attached at the bottom and the .odbc.ini file on the server looks as follows.
Can somebody tell me whether .odbc.ini needs any correction or what else should I do to correct the issue and able to work thru using SQL interface? Appreciate any help provided in this regard. Thanks,

I had similar errors when first setting up the SQL interface. Are you on a 64 bit operating system on the essbase server? If so Essbase needs to use the 32 bit odbc driver, not the default 64 bit driver.
The 32 bit driver is still available here SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe <-----This is the 32 bit (Use)
The Administrative tools by default uses system32\odbcad32.exe <----This is the 64 bit (Don't Use)
Once I opened the 32 bit driver interface directly and set it up the errors went away.

Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta

Hi All,
I'm having issues with Dreamweaver CS4 after installing Photoshop CS6 Beta. I'm getting the follwing erros when trying to open any html file (see attached image).
Once I click OK, the file will open, also now; any copy and paste commands will not work. Anyone else experiencing any problems with other apps after installing this beta version?
Any help and feedback is much appreciated, thanks!

Re :Re: Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta
Just a thought ...
This may help!
Uninstall the Beta Version of Photoshop CS6 now and then restart your computer and see if that works.
Open the CS4 programs and see if that fixed the problem and it is all working as it should again.
It is worth a try!
All the best.

Did you remember to compile the 'mhvtl' kernel module ?
Please see http://sites.google.com/site/linuxvtl2/
According to this message, I understand, that I haven't install the kernel, so I have downloaded and uncompressed the mhvtl-2013-10-20.tgz file but with no success
1. tar xvzf mhvtl-2013-10-20
2. mhvtl-1.4
3. cd kernel

Issues after installing Mavericks

I am having a ton of issues after installing macericks on wed evening, on my MBP 15" 2.5 GHz i7 with 8GB of memory,
I have a task com.apple.internetaccouts, and com.apple.MailServiceAgent, taking upwards of 100% CPU at time and the fan will go full speed, and earlier today i had a msg come up that i had run out of usable memory and the sytem had paused programs, I have restarted a few times and still the same things are coming up and the system has become really slow.

Had this issue again today on my wife's iMac. This was after the Mail.app update that was recently released. I now have messed with this issue enough that I believe I have figured it out.
I used to have a plugin for Mail called HTTPMail that was used to access Hotmail prior to them having POP/IMAP. It seems that removing the account from Mail left some residual account details in the ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist file. Mavericks Mail.app chokes on this account detail and starts duplicating it numerous times. That's why the Accounts.plist file grows so large.
If you open the Accounts.plist file in a text editor (TextWrangler would be my suggestion), find any <dict> entry that points to services.msn.com in any way and remove all those <dict>...</dict> entries, it should resolve the issue. Warning though - I had to delete hundreds of entries so it took a while to do. Once I finished it though, my wife's e-mail has been working fine.

DreamWeaver 10 will not operate once installed. Cannot Maintain Root Folder.

I am not sure if it's an issue with OSX 10.4.11 on my Mac or if it's a compatibility issue with the new 30-day trial version of Dreamweaver 10. This is the exact same problem I had with Dreamweaver MX. I cannot do a clean install and have the Dreamweaver application work. Once installed, it's incredibly bugging and will Not Respond, thereby leaving me to force quit it. It will not maintain the root folder, so that when I have the Files panel, when I click on the local folders and files, they do not respond and disappear. The application then freezes and I have to force quit to relive the nightmare all over again. Not sure of what the issues are, but I cannot do a clean install with any version of Dreamweaver on my Mac from Version 7.01 to the latest and greatest.
Anyone have any issues with installing the application? The interesting this is, on my Mac powerbook, Dreamweaver MX works just fine. But I cannot get it to work on my other computer, where it has worked flawlessly for going on five years. HELP! This has been dragging on for a week.
Thanks!

My it guy has set all the Ricoh (The only brand of printers we use.) to enable Appletalk.

AppleTalk has been gone eons ago. Connect via USB and see what happens. If you are networking the printer then advise on your connection set up.

Issue when installing SQL Server Express 2012 - "The requested control is not valid for this service" + "Could not find the database engine startup handle"

Good morning,
I'm experiencing the following issue when installing Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012 (with tools, SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe) on the laptop of my company;
Installation goes plain until around the end of the progress bar, it stops on the setup of
SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
I've put in my SkyDrive the error log I received after the install;
I'm at full disposal if you need further information,
thank you in advance
Best regards
Francesco

Well, i just ran into this issue and the problem was lack of admin rights. It was my company's laptop so got the setup initiated by my company's IT team with admin rights. However, the upon completion of setup, i go the same error messages as stated above:
SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
Also, if you open SQL Server Configuration, the status of the service is "Change Pending" and you would not be able to set the startup login type to Local Service/System/Network.
Then, I just got my account added as Local Admin and then tried to start the service and was able to.
However, I am not sure whether same was the case for you.
Please mark the answer as helpful if i have answered your query. Thanks and Regards, Kartar Rana

I have CS2 and would like to do Image Stacking. I understand CS3 allows this. correct? Am I wiser to purchase CS3 upgrade. Am I going to run into issues with install?

Well, I refuse to sign up to pay Adobe a monthly tribute for life too, but that doesn't mean we are limited to CS3.
I'm staying with CS6.
Adobe still sells a perpetual-license to Photoshop CS6 without the subscription model, but it's $700 for the Standard version and a cool $1,000 for the Extended version.
You haven't mentioned your platform, Macintosh or Windows, so make sure CS3 or any other obsolete version you buy actually runs on a modern operating system.
Good luck.

Issues after installing Classic on OS 10.4

Background and System
I have a Power Mac G3 350Mhz Rev 2 Blue and White, 512MB, 40GB, DVD ROM
running 10.4.9 installed from Retail DVD. Firmware up to date. 2x 20 GB partitions formatted as Extended
Prior to this issue OS X has been running well.
Issue:
After installing OS 9.2.1 to second partition OS X will now not boot up from DVD nor it's partition
Solutions tried:
I wanted to install a Classic environment so used a Retail OS 9.2.1 Bootable CD and did a full install to the second partition.
After the install finished and the system restarted, set on the OS X (Partition1) for start up the system hangs right after the Apple "Chime". with no signal to video card
Attempted to then boot from OS 10.4 DVD but this does not get detected when holding "c" down for boot up from CD option. This worked perfectly before.
Have run OS 9.2.1 Disk Aid Verify and both partitions are ok. The system will boot from the 9.2.1 CD and partition but anything to do OS X now will not work. I also tried an Ubuntu 6.06 Live CD but this will not now boot either.
Checked firmware and tried to re run firmware update and this advised my firmware was up to date.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

The only thing I can think of is that when you installed the 10.4.9 OS you didn't option to install OS 9 drivers.

Facing Issue while Installing SOA server for setting up BPM11g working environment

Hi All,
I have been able to install Database and Weblogic Server but I am facing issue in installing SOA server.
I am trying to install it for running BPM 11g application.
I saw the same problem has already been answered but available solutions are not resolving my problem.
Error Message:Provide the JDK/JRE location while launching the installer.Invoke the setup.exe with -jreLoc<JDK/JRE location absolute path>parameter(s).
I tried both way for initializing the installation. i.e directly through setup.exe and by command prompt but in both the cases I am getting same error.
It is not asking for Java path in command prompt also.
a)In my system java 7 is installed.
b)I have used Oracle Database 11g instead of XE
Can this be the reason?
I checked Program Files:
jre7 and jdk1.7.0_45 are there.
I also have set JAVA_HOME in environment variable as C:\Program Files\java\jre7
path :C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin
Please help me in fixing this as I am stuck in this installation from last few days.
Thanks!

Hi Binay,
You might want to consider instead installing it using JDK 1.6.
Here's where you can check the Fusion Middleware configurations: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11gr1certmatrix.xls
It's buried in there, but bottom line is that Oracle BPM 11g (PS6) 11.1.1.7 needs JDK 1.6 (for Windows it is either JDK 1.6.0_35 or JRockit 6 Update 37 R28.2.5+) and I'd suggest you use JRockit.
