Bug between bootcamp and recent W7 update ?

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro with several hard drives, one being partionned:
- Snow Leopard 10.6.8 kernel 64 bits
- Window 7 64 bits, bootcamp 3.3
This configuration has been running perfectly since more than 24 monthes, even with all the W7 updates.
Today I installed some recent W7 updates, several dealing with .NET or IE, and two with so-called 'driver architecture V1.1'.
After this update, being loggeg on W7 partition, when I try to copy a file from the OS X partition to some folder on the W7 partition, I have regurlarly a crash of W7 with a blue screen. I never had that before.
I tried to uninstall the two W7 updates dealing with this pilot architecture V1.1, one is named 'kernel-driven ....', and one is named 'user-driven ...'. After removing these txo updates, everything is OK again. I was able to copy many files from OS X to W7 without crash or blue screen.
Hence I suppose there is some bug between the Apple bootcamp drivers, especially the one which allows to mount and read HFS+ partitions, and this W7 update.

I have investigated this bug furthermore, and read many forums. At the end, I am suspecting some bad interaction between these two W7 updates, and Kaspersky Internet Security 2013.
I have :
- set my network connexion to "automatic", in order it could be active duiring the "reboot / finishing installation" phase after W7 update
- disactivated KIS 2013, and set the preferences in order it does not launch automatically during W7 boot.
Then I installed the first suspected KB "infrastructure user-driven ...". After W7 reboot, no bug (bleu screen) during copying a file from the OS X partition towards the W7 partition. Then I reactived KIS, and reboot, some tests, no bug either.
I did then the same procedure with the other suspected KB "insfrastructure kernel-driven ...". Same thing. No bug after reboot. Then I reactived KIS and reboot, no bug either.
Hence it seems that Bootcamp in not the culprit, at least not by itself alone. Maybe only in combination with these two W7 updates, and with KIS 2013.
Nevertheless, it's much more probable that there is some bad interaction between KIS 2013 and these two W7 updates. Performing these updates with both KIS 2013 disactivated (and not launched at boot), and the internet connexion set on "automatic", seems to prevent the problem.
I need to perform some more intensive tests, but the bug seems to have disappeared, or at less is became fal less frequent.

Photos not syncing between Mac and iPhone since update to Photos on Mac.

Ever since I updated to Photos on my Late 2013 macbook pro retina, photos are not syncing between it and my iPhone 6. Both are updated to the most recent software update. Photo stream is on. Does anyone have this problem or know a solution?

You will have to go the the Photos tab in iTunes when you connect the iPhone. Then reset the photo sync options. They were reset with the upgrade to use iCloud by default, but you can change the settings back to sync folders, just like before.

"Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message and recent firefox update

"Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message is continuously popping up after the recent firefox update. I have nearly exhausted every possible solution to the problem as seen from the support page for this error message. I know someone who has the same issue on their computer and it also started right after the recent big update. Does the update have anything to do with this reoccurring issue? Is anyone else having this problem? Any other ideas on how to fix it? It would be great to get some help.

From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
issue may be caused by the clear history settings.
Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

Mac Mini, USB, BootCamp and Windows Software Updates

Right so ive recently bought a Mac Mini and Installed Windows 7 Home on it.
First time went a bit haywire and now ive managed to sort it.
Ive downloaded the WindowsSupport updates for the Mac but its stuck in my Mac OSX.
When i log onto Windows there are no drivers and it does not recognise my External Hard Drive, so i cant install the updates. Because i cant install the drivers i have no internet connection on Windows.
Its really frustrating me now, ive been at it for a good couple of days and i just cant find the solution to the problem.
The Mac Mini has no Disc drive and i dont want to buy one. I only want to transfer the Drivers so everything works fine in Windows.
Can anyone help?
Appreciate any comments back to help me find this solution.
Thanks

itake it you have lion yea bad news you kinda need the mac drivers disk that is created by boot camp there is another way of doing it without internet access but you need a usb thumb drive.
Here is how you do it
1. plug in the usb thumb drive in mac os x
2. go to utilitys
3. go to disk utility click the thumb drive erase drive as ms dos partition fat32
4. once thats completed close disk utility
5. now copy your drivers to the thumb drive (but be farwarned you need the apple bootcamp drivers without those drivers you will not be able to leave windows and return to mac os x without the bootcamp control panel)

Resolving differences/bugs between Z10 and Q10

A BB10 version of Magmic's New York Times Crossword was finally released last week. The app was awesome and worked flawlessly on the 9930. I downloaded it on Thursday and immediately encountered several bugs that make me think this is a Z10-only app. (Total lack of support for the physical keyboard, inability to scroll down/resolve screen elements and commands on lower half of screen, etc.). I have contacted Magmic support directly regarding a fix or update, but I have some general questions for the community at large.
Have many apps developed for the Z been subsequently optimized for the Q? Is there any reason to believe that a developer would not work out the kinks between the platforms? Or are developers simply adopting a one-size-fits-all philosophy for BB10 that ignores crtitical differences between the Z and Q?
While I am by no means a hardcore gamer, I do hope that gaming on the Q is not destined for failure.

I like Q10, it has been a long time since I used a mobile phone with physical keyboard. That is a special feeling to use a smartphone with a keyboard again.
Z10 looks great but not that special or unique.

Bug between JRockit and X11 forwarding via ssh

I have encountered what appears to be a bug in the interaction of JRockit with X11 ssh forwarding.
When running any Java GUI application on a remote machine using X11 forwarding via ssh, a variety of problems occur. For example:
--- cut here ---
% mitrion-ide
The program '' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)'.
(Details: serial 189 error_code 5 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
--- cut here ---That's the good case. When running the rmmlite application (available at https://rmml.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=437&expandFolder=437&folderID=438 ), I experience what appears to be a near-lockup of my local workstation.
Neither of these problems occur if I set my DISPLAY to not use ssh X11 forwarding. Likewise, non-Java applications work just fine with ssh X11 forwarding. Therefore the problem seems to be limited to the Java + ssh X11 forwarding combination.
I have a suitable workaround (i.e. setting the DISPLAY variable to avoid ssh X11 forwarding), but I thought this was worth bringing to BEA's attention. I'd also be curious to know if others have run into similar difficulties.
Here are the configuration details:

Brent,
it would be nice to know if this problem is specific to the JRockit JDK or
if you also can reproduce it using the corresponding Sun JDK 1.4.2. Please
do also try with a later version such as latest JRockit JDK 5.0.
Thanks

Bugs between LCD and outside panel

Somehow two baby flies have become trapped between the LCD panel and the outside panel of the flat screen TV.
I know they are not just caked on the outside, as I have tried several times to clean them off with small amounts of solution.
Is there anything I can do?
I was considering the compressed air can, like for cleaning computer keyboards. But fear condensation would make things worse. I don't want to remove the outer case unless I have to and it is safe.
Anything else I can try besides bringing the TV in for cleaning by Geek Squad?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, you have a unique scenario.
You could try compressed air, but I doubt it will get anything done, but it is worth a shot. It sounds like the TV needs to be taken apart so the internal portion of the screen can be cleaned. The other option, depending on the cost of labor to take the TV apart, is look at a replacement. I know that is not an ideal solution, but cost wise it may be better.
Or you could live with the bugs

Is there a clash between Flash and IE8 when updating?

I have Flash Player 10.0.22.87, Internet Explorer 8 and Windows XP sp3. When I try to update to Flash 10.0.32.18, I get an error message: The instruction at "0x130a0068" referenced memory at "0x130z0068". The memory could not be "written". (I notice that both the numbers are the same.) Clicking Debug doesn't help.I am unable to click the message at the top of the screen to make IE allow the add-on. Certain games do not display properly since I updated to IE8, which is why I thought an update of Flash was necessary. Any advice would be welcome.

Hi there
This forum is for discussion of forum issues. Your question is better suited for the Flash Player forums.
Please stand by as I move this thread to the appropriate venue.
Cheers... Rick

Hi "xrency"
Some Xperia Z tablet users have said, that with the last update this problem seems to be solved. Xperia Care - Support forum
Android version: Google Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean)
Latest available software: 10.3.1.A.2.67
Release started: 2013-10-02
I have an Xperia Z tablet (SPG321 LTE/4G) updated and no issue.
Have you update your tablet on the version above?

IOS8 on a IPhone 5 bugs, youmail, Email and app store updates

I've discovered the following oddities with IOS 8.0. Maybe they will be repaired when I install 8.0.2, however I wanted to document them.
App Store updates do not clear from the list after they have been downloaded and installed. For instance I updated 5 apps. I downloaded them via Itunes and synchronized my IPhone 5 as I normally do. The App Store Icon still shows I have 5 apps which need to be updated. Opening the App Store icon, and clicking on the updates tab does not clear the list. It instead shows the "update" soft key for a moment and then it changes to "open". I have tried several things including rebooting my IPhone 5 to no avail. I did notice that when a new app shows appears to be updated the previous apps which were indeed updated are purged from the list. After downloading via ITunes and again synchronizing my phone, the latest app which has been updated also will not purge from the list when clicking on the "updates" soft key. Now my App Store icon continues to show that I need to update one app.
Youmail app. I can't purge (delete) voice mails from the trash folder. Selecting them, and selecting the purge (delete) soft key does not remove them. It's as if the command is ignored.
Email, I noticed that when I use the delete all soft key from the trash folder selecting the "edit" soft key and then "delete all" that the soft key in the upper right corner which normally changes from "edit" to "cancel" when I select delete all is blacks out like a hole in the screen. The "cancel" soft key which normally appears there is gone. I did note that touching the now black hole where the cancel soft key was previously still functions as "cancel".
I am using the current version of ITunes 11.4.0.8 in a Windows 7 PC.

Youmail just released an update which fixed the deletion problem with old voice mails. The other problems are still not resolved, even with the 8.0.2 IOS update.

Recent Software Update Problem ...

I just finished updating the software for my iBook G4. When the Updater was finished, I couldn't restart! I tried chosing Restart several times, and also Shut Down, but neither function would work.
So, I connect my new external HD, but it didn't show up on the desktop. So I had to press the Power button to shut down, then again to restart.
I don't recall ever seeing this happen before. Is this a bug in the most recent Tiger update?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions. (Well, the Installer actually uses superuser Permissions to do it's work, but after reboot it doesn't guarantee communication with other existing needed files Permissions.)
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

IBooks not syncing between iOS7 and Maverick

iBooks not syncing between iOS7 and Maverick
Just updated my MBP to Mavericks and only a few items have synced from my phone to the mac in iBooks. The phone was also updated to iOS7.0.3 (the latest) today too before the Mavericks update.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is this a bug which will hopefully be fixed shortly? Or is there something I can do to resolve this?
I have a number of .pdf´s in iBooks (.pdf books) on the phone and would obviously want everything on the phone accessible on the computer, as is the idea.
Many thanks for your help/advice.
Susan :S

This has been my headache since day one and a complete swing and a miss by Apple. I haven't been able to get ANYTHING I have not explicitely purchased from iTunes to sync in iBooks across device.
For example: If I load an ePub or PDF into iTunes and "manually" add to a device, this works just fine.
However, if I open a PDF file on my iPhone into iBooks, it doesn't show up in any of my other devices, including the new iBooks on my iMac with Maverick. it doesn't matter which device it's added, nothing syncs if it's not purchased from iTunes.
Please, someone make me a liar and tell me I've completely missed something.
Apple: Why or why can't I add PDF files to iBooks on my iMac and have them automagically show up in the collection I created on all my devices? Because I didn't purchase them from you, you say? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Then don't let me add it in the first place and stop advertising "my content anywhere on any device" because this has been broken from day one.

Recent firedfox update immedately cause break in connection between computer and printer

about 2 weeks ago Firefox offered an update. I clicked to start this. right after the printer failed to respond to the computer and a message said: check cables (done) restart computer(done) check firewall - I don't know how to do this. I have a McAfee contract.
Could this update have caused the problem? was this update offer legitimate or a virus?

here is the same problem
i cant switch between vc7,8,9...only between 1 and 7.
when i switch to vc8 or 9 only comes nothing but a blank black screen.
there is no problem on vc1 to vc6, login screen works there.
gdmflexiserver command doesnt works, same blank black screen.
but when X is not in work all virtual consoles works without problem.
ive searched everywhere for this problem but nothing works.people have recommend same things; gdmflexiserver etc.
i think it is a problem with X server, maybe a bug of this version.Mine is xorg-server 1.5.3-4.
Any?

HT204150 I have recently switched to the latest i-phone. my contacts are updated by i-cloud between phone and mac laptop.there are only about 720 contats showing on phone from app. 1250 on the computer. please advise how to correct phone

I have recently switched to the latest i-phone. my contacts are updated by i-cloud between phone and mac laptop.there are only about 720 contats showing on phone from app. 1250 on the computer. please advise how to correct phone

On the mac, only contacts in the "iCloud" section will sync to other devices. Those in the "On my mac" section do not. Could that be your problem?
To test the icloud situation, log into icloud.com with your mac's safari and to to the contacts page. What you see there is what icloud has received from mac and iphone.

Slower MBP since 10.5.4 Most Recent Security Update and iTunes 7.7.1(1)

Anyone notice a significant overall slowdown since installing updates to iTunes and the Security Updates that were released recently? My MBP is an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.3GHz with 4GB of memory; it should blaze, and used to, but not anymore. Very noticeable slowdown overall!

After update 10.5.2 there has been performance issues on my MBP as well.
Response performance varies - like your laptop is becoming tired..................
Unfortunately, general freezing of the screen and all control (except power down), happens randomly - I read in another post that this only happens on Battery? - I believe this to be true...........
Longer app loading times and annoyances from spotlight indexing at poor times.
Window memory and size are lost on occasion - having to resize all quite often - crazy.
Dock unhide judder from first mouse activation - I know it's petty, but I think the Dock is worth it.
Sometimes, bootcamp partition desktop icon fails to appear with the other desktop icons, later after spotlight has calmed down.
The last bug is usually a sign to run Onyx maintenance and rebuild spotlight and other preferences.
Great program.
This usually sorts it out for a week and then the symptoms come back.
Logic Pro seems to take more RAM (I know i need to upgrade - only 3Gb available on my machine - nuts.)
Still a very cool machine though - BF2 and Logic on one laptop.............
Any positive ideas and solutions are welcome.
