Change partition sizes after windows has been installed
After I have installed windows onto my mac and have created the partitions, can and how do I change the size (in terms of memory) of the partitions without reinstalling all information?
Hi and welcome to Discussions,
you can use WinClone for this http://www.twocanoes.com/winclone/ and in here http://www.twocanoes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=515 you find a how-to.
(Topic: My current Windows partition is the wrong size, and I want to make it larger. How do I do this?)
Other people have used CampTune http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ successfully.
Prior to doing this you should make/have a backup of your OSX and Windows files for safety.
Regards
Stefan

Uninstalling 2982791 ; is it OK to uninstall it *after* 2984615 has been installed?
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS14-045 - Important
"Microsoft strongly recommends that customers who have not uninstalled the 2982791 update do so prior to applying the 2993651 update."
Most of our PCs are set to automatically install updates. If the 2993651 update has been automatically installed *before* the 2982791 update was removed, should we still remove the 2982791 update?Hi
The update 2993621 replaces the expired 2982791 update. They also say:
Customers do not need to uninstall the expired 2982791 update before applying the 2993651 update; however, Microsoft strongly recommends it. Customers who do not remove the expired update will retain a listing for 2982791 under installed updates in Control

Its your choice.

Changing ScrollPanes View after it has been packed
Hello,
I have a Frame which contains a JScrollPane. When I create the frame, the scrollpane has no content. After some event happens, I will add content to the pane. Then later another even could happen and I load different content into the pane. When I do this, the scrollpane scrolls VERY slow using the mouse wheel. I have tried everything I can find to made the scrollpane realize the true size of it's content. I have set the preferredsize to the preferredsize of the panel that is put into it, i have tried revalidating the scrollpane, doLayout, updateUI, etc. Nothing seems to make it realize the real size so that it doesn't scroll slow. Can anyone help me out? Below is a sample application which consists of 3 classes which demonstrate my problem. I'm running on Java 1.5.0_07 on Windows.
Thanks!
Andrew

// End of variables declarationGee...Thanks for your helpful diagnosis there. I used Netbeans to quickly create an example of the problem. I do know how to develop an application without the use of a GUI builder and prior to Matise, I haven't liked GUI Builders at all. So if you are all knowing in swing, then maybe you could actually help with the problem. Would you like me to remove the editor folds, etc from the example before you can get started?? If anyone else could help out that would be great...

How to remove boot camp partion after windows has been deleted
I have removed windows 7 from my mac book air. however the partition will not be deleted... how can I remove the partition.
Hi,
Usually the correct way to remove your Windows partition is to use the BootCamp Assistant again which should give you the option to remove the made Windows partition and revert back to one OSX volume.
After that's done a reboot of your Mac might be advisable. After the reboot use the BootCamp Assistant again to make the Windows partition and then install the (hopefully correct) version of Windows.
Only if that's not working (whatever the reason) :
1) boot your Mac from your OSX install DVD
2) choose your language and then 'ignore' (cancel) the installation
3) from the Top Menu (Utilities) start Disk Utility (DU)
4) in DU click on your harddisk (not any partition) in the left pane (the first item listed)
5) in the right pane use the 'Partition'-Tab
6) click to highlight on the ex-Windows partition you want to delete
7) click on the small '-' Button at the bottom
That should delete your former Windows partition
After that's done successfully
8) Drag the partition separator line until it encompasses the entire drive and then select apply.
9) Quit Disk Utility
10) reboot your Mac from your harddisk.
Since you are 'fumbling' with your OSX partition you should consider having/making a backup of it before trying the a.m. procedure. Just in case.

Why does maverick show download on purchases after it has been installed
installed maverick os from app store, completes download, after restart, when i go back into app store purchases, it has download in the right hand side column, anyone else had the same problem.
bampy 1 wrote:
Hi, no its not there, i have tried about 3 times, press download in the app store, it takes a couple of hours to download, says its downloaded, then says installing, which takes about another 2 hours, asks to restart, when it restarts the wave desktop is on the mac, but when you go back into app store, it has the download prompt again.
As it would with any App once you have purchased it. Once you buy something in the App store it is linked to your AppleID - you can redownload as many times as you wish or need to, install it on other machines without paying again, restore a machine as needed without paying again, and so on. The "buy" changes to "download" since you will not pay to re-download anything once you have boutht the license for it. -
Best way to downgrade to SL after Lion has been installed on MBP
After 2 days of reading multiple posts about iMovie on Lion and trying to make iMovie work on my MBP 2.4 Intel Core i5, I am giving up on Lion. Snow Leopard, I want you back.
I've already backed up all of my files, but before I reinstall SL, I would like to retain my Windows/Parallel configuration. I don't want to go through the lengnthy process of updating Windows and I am guessing there is a way to do that, but I am not sure how. Please help if you know how.

I seem to be unable to "boot(?)" from my original SL disc. However, I can insert the SL disc and the "install Mac OS. app" does appear. Is it as simple as clicking on the install icon and my old SL would be reinstalled?
If you have followed all the instructions in that post... then yes just Click.
tvdowntown wrote:
Thank you. I have been following that thread and I still cannot figure out what will happen to my Windows/Parallels configuration. Will it stay intact or must reinstall Windows as well?
My understanding is that you will have a Fresh Install of SL and you will need to Run Software Update (to bring it upto Date...... so to speak)
and then Install any 3rd party Apps, such as Windows, etc...
Just one note based on experience... If you have a Lot of Updates after the Reinstall, (and you probably will...)
it would be best to update one at a time and Not all at once... and then leave your Machine running for a couple of days or so... if you can.
Hope this helps, Cheers. -

Hi,
I had recently installed Samsun msata 500 gb SSD on my GE60 0ND. I could not follow the procedure as my bios had no RAID option to select. I had to take off my standart hdd and run the recovery on my ssd. So far everything works great.
Now I'd like to connect the old hdd on its slot and use it as backup drive. In bios I see that 1st serial ATA remains empty (there was the old drive before), 2cond serial ATA is for the SSD, 3rd for the slimtype DVD.
I'm afraid if I plug the old hdd it will be used as a system drive again as it will take the 1st serial ATA again...and that's what I really don't want to happen..
Please help with any suggestions how to make sure my old drive will be not system one?
thanks in advanceYou don't need to care about those three serial ATA. You only need to move to "Boot">>change the boot mode select to "LEGACY" >>
press f10 for saving the setting >>press "del" for entering bios again >>move to "Boot">>change the ssd as boot option #1 under "Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities". -
Making a bootable dics after Lion has been installed
How do I make a bootable dics of the Lions after I have installed it on my system. I could not fine a .dmg file anywhere or a install Mac OSX 7 app.
Apparently, you failed to save a copy of the install app to another location and the installer blew itself away after installing, which is normal behavior. You'll have to DL the installer again. When that's finished, see http://macnix.blogspot.com/2011/07/make-bootable-mac-os-x-lion-usb-flash.html for details on making a bootable disc.

HT204266 How does one find out how much one paid for an app after it has been installed?
It would be far more useful if the word INSTALLED also dispayed either the word FREE or the
amount paid for the app; e.g. INSTALLED FREE or INSTALLED $2.99. Some of the free apps display
the word Free within the app icon, but not all free apps do so.Try Account Information on iTunes, then Purchase History.

After Firefox has been running a while, every link opens a new window
After Firefox has been running for a while, every link starts opening in a new window. Until today, if I closed Firefox and restarted it, it would stop happening ... until it started happening again. Then today, I closed it down and restarted it, and it was STILL happening. So either I find a solution, or I stop using Firefox on my Mac.
This is a vanilla installation - both for the Mac and Firefox. I don't use the Mac as my main computer. The Mac is running OS X 10.5 8. The problem has existed through many upgrades of Firefox. I always upgrade as requested. This last time, however may have been the killer. A new upgrade was installed right before the problem became unfixable by shutting down and restarting. I'm running Firefox 15.0. I just rebooted, however, and now (for now), it's working properly.
I have no add-ons installed in Firefox.
My only plug-ins are iPhotoPhotocast, QuickTime, SharePoint, and Shockwave Flash.
I've seen multiple reports of this problem on this Web site, but no solutions. Just a generic recommendation to disable add-ons to see which one is conflicting. But I'm running no add-ons. I think there's a bug in Firefox.If it were an extension or theme or a Mac driver, wouldn't it cause the problem consistently? This only happens after Firefox has been running for a while. I'm using Firefox to type this reply right now, and the problem is not happening.
And it's not because I suddenly start using some offending software. As I said, I don't use the Mac as my main computer. Usually I'll have been using my PC, I'll go back to the Mac to check my email on Firefox, and suddenly the link problem is happening. I only use the Mac to check email on the server before I download it with Outlook (on the PC) so I can delete spam on the server first.
