Does anyone have Windows and cache on an SSD?
A variation/simplification of my previous post.
Has anyone managed to use an SSD with both an SRT cache partition and a Windows operating system partition on a Z68 board?
If so, please tell me which board/ BIOS version/ RAID ROM versions (CTRL-I)/ IRST driver version.
I cannot get this to work with my Z68aGD80(G3) with current or previous BIOS.
Tech support were no use.
thanks

Based on this information and the way I interpret it, sounds like you can get say a 120gb SSD, Partition it to have 2 60gb partitions, using one for Windows and the other for SRT Cache sense it only used up to 64gb for the SRT.
You're interpreting it wrongly.... read it in stages
Quote
"With the Z68 SATA controllers set to RAID (SRT won't work in AHCI or IDE modes) just install Windows 7 on your hard drive like you normally would."
ie: HDD fitted, Windows 7 installed
Quote
"With Intel's RST 10.5 drivers and a spare SSD installed (from any manufacturer) you can choose to use up to 64GB of the SSD as a cache for all accesses to the hard drive."
Then you add the SSD and the RST drivers
Quote
"Any space above 64GB is left untouched for you to use as a separate drive letter."
Any space left on the SSD is yours to do as you wish with.

Does anyone have Lion and can connect to Windows servers?
Is there anyone out there who can see the Windows server folders? Or am I (and a handful of others) the only ones who are having this issue? Is ANYBODY able to connect to their Windows server with Lion? (they dropped SMB support in Lion...this is why I'm asking).
What servers are you connecting to? Here at work they use:
windows server 2003
standard edition
32bit
No luck with me. I can connect to wifi internet, but can't access any of the shared folders anymore (I could with SL) -
Does anyone have /usr and / on separate partitions?
I wonder if there is any common issue when having /usr and / on separate partitions?
Upgraded to Solaris 10 (03/05) recently. It was OK until I applied the lasted recommended patch cluster (Generic_118822-26).
The problem is that:
I can not bring "svc:/system/filesystem/usr:default " online.
"svcs -x" shows
svc:/system/filesystem/usr:default (read/write root file systems mounts)
State: offline since Wed 11 Jan 2006 11:10:53 AM EST
Reason: Start method is running.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-C4
See: /etc/svc/volatile/system-filesystem-usr:default.log
Impact: 42 dependent services are not running. (Use -v for list.)
Is there any way to save this system except reinstalling the OS?
Thanks in advance.I always create seperate / and /usr (/var and /opt for that matter) filesystems and have never experienced the problem you are describing. This has worked reliably for me from the Solaris 2.5.1 release up to and including Solaris 10 10/06 for SPARC and x86/64.
If at all possible, I try to use a boot disk large enough to hold each of these filesystems, plus a token /zones and /export filesystem on Solaris 10. This strategy gives me quite a bit of flexibility in managing filesystems and avoiding situations where I find myself running out of room when upgrading or patching. -
Does anyone have experience of the OWC Mercury Extreme SSD?
Hi everyone
I read Lloyd Chambers [interesting article|http://macperformanceguide.com/Reviews-SSD-OWC-Mercury_Extreme.html] about the Mercury Extreme. In particular he seems to have found very little performance degradation with heavy use.
I guess this would make us Mac users very happy since TRIM is unsupported by OS X (or have I got that wrong?).
Does anyone have real-world experience of this SSD yet?
/pI could be wrong - but my understanding is that GC and TRIM are two separate things (and the need to do them with the new OWC drive as well)
GC is a way to re-organize the data to avoid using blocks that were marked as part of the write amplification done on the drive. (i.e. to write 1mb, you had to actually write 1.3mb on the device - and how to re-organize the .3mb when the file is overwritten)
TRIM actually clears the blocks that are no longer in use when a file is overwritten or deleted. The problem is that the device has no way to know what to clear - it needs to understand what the OS requires and what it does not require... and so it can't do it by itself as it needs to be aware of the filesystem. (NTSF/ZFS or in our case, HFS+). Instead the firmware just makes available the ability for the OS to go ahead and clear the bocks... that is TRIM support - the OS has to now delete the file (from the FS table etc) and then issues a TRIM on that file, allowing the device to clearing the blocks that are excessively used by the operation.
In the case of the OWC - there is no much technical information out there to describe how it trims without knowing anything about the filesystem. Mind you - its not been out long enough to get tested by a large number of people. Some think that its using part of the cache to handle these cases - (if you know the ratio of amplification, then you could build a large cache to deal with the physical space)
I think the secret for the OWC drive (and the OCZ Vertex 2 Pro) is the write amplification - which is less than the one from Intel. The less write amplification - the less need for GC and less blocks you need to clear by TRIM. A Harddrive has an amplification ratio of 1, OWC has (I think) 0.6 and Intel 1.1 - how do they achieve 0.6? On the fly compression and deduplication of data streams... (similar to what ZFS does at the filesystem level). I think part of the OWC 56Gb cache is used for the deduplication reference table as well... but when doing this - you have to be 2x carefull - if you loose part of the deduplication table for example, you loose not one file to corruption, but a huge chunk of your harddrive... as that pattern could be found in a lot of places... BTW - that is also how they achieve better longevity, they have to write less data that is produced... less writes, more life.
Now - as of experience - none... I think it's a nice drive... It seems they have taken some thought on setting apart a large (18%) of their drive to avoid problem and try to suck all the performance possible. But its still the basic SSD drive - just with hardware compression to minimize the impact. OWC obviously does not make them - some one is OEMing them for them. The support is what I would wonder on this drive. But based on Lloyd's experience, it seems to be a good contender on your list.

I have set up iTunes Match on only 3 devices (my Windows 7 desktop and 2 iPhones) and am now trying to authorise my new Windows 8 (Toshiba) laptop but I keep failing to authorise the laptop using my one-and-only Apple ID. Does anyone have advice to solve this problem?!
Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck… -
Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant. I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use. Does anyone have a solution? Or is Apple's implementation of HDCP (if it's there) incomplete?
I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

Hello< I have windows 7, I tried to install the new itunes version, last night 1/30/14, Im getting msvcr80.dll error 7 (windows error 126). Does anyone have a remedy for this? When I try to uninstall the ituned program it says it can't be found and to make sure I have permission to uninstall.
Same problem today. Took five times to reinstall without any error messages. I did the following:
1) Went to the C:\program files (x86)\iTunes and C:\program files\iTunes folders and moved every file ending in .dll to the desktop (even if two files in same location had the same name, just replaced)
2) Restarted computer and still got error message
3) Uninstalled all apple programs possible in the following order......itunes, apples software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.....all performed using the microsoft control panel
4) put all the .dll files on the desktop in the trash and emptied (this is a step apple support did not recomment in their posted solutions but for a final try I wanted to delete everything apple).
5) Restarted computer.
6) Re-installed itunes from apple website
No error messages during re-install and was able to open shortcut in one try. -
tried installing Icloud calendar on windows 8.1 and get the message "Calendar has stopped responding". does anyone have any suggestions?

I cannot see my Iphone 4 in my device window in the finder anymore. It use to appear so I could copy the camera pictures off of it and transfer them to other folders. Does anyone have and idea how to get it back when you plug it in initially. Thanks
You will want to open iPhoto, go to the iPhoto menu and select Preferences. Under the General tab, next to Connecting camera opens: select iPhoto. Close the preferences and quit iPhoto. Reconnect your iPhone 4. iPhoto should open automatically and offer to import your pictures. Import them and then do what you want with them.
Best of luck. -
Trying to select the Calendar check box in iCloud window and then it asks me If I want to merge I hit ok and the it tries to ad see spinning fan icon and then just quits and is then unchecked. Does Anyone have a solution to fix this? It works just fine on all other 5 Macs I have. I have tried to sign out and in and even restart the computer. I am running Yosemite on all 6 of my Macs.
Search the web or help doco about the Captivate feature called Return to Quiz. It will do what you are looking for here according to your description. There's even a Youtube video from a year or two back that shows how it works.

I have a newer MacBook Pro with an AMD processor. It is my understanding that Parallels can only be used on Mac's with Intel Processors. Is that true and if so does anyone have recommendations about how to have a windows side to my Mac
Then it either is a pirate clone or you are misinformed.
Apple Computer has never used AMD processors in its products.
However, the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a Radeon unit, which is an AMD subsidiary. Parallels, VMWare, VirtualBox will all work fine with the Intel Core i7 or i5 CPU that powers the Mac, and use the AMD Radeon GPU that drives the displays. -
Does anyone have an applet that runs on Windows CE and connects via jdbc to lite DB
I am trying to get an applet to connect to the Oracle lite DB
I use
if (conn == null)
// Load the JDBC driver
Class.forName("oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:polite:polite", "SYSTEM", "MANAGER");
output.appendText ("Connected\n");
but CE just echos oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCDriver and does not connect.
Does anyone have any working samples? I am using Jeode JVM on the CE deviceWe have the same problem with that platform, but we get a
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission loadLibrary.oljdbc40)
exception.
Thank you in advance. -
I am trying to re-print a portion of a photo enlarged through "poster" in the print dialog box. The original photo printed just fine with the exception of one "page." This is what I'm trying to re-print. I have gone into the Multi- page box clicked on 4 x 4 and then selected the pages I did not want to print. This isn't working as it prints some pages and doesn't print others. All in all it is using a tremendous amount of ink for this project. Additionally I am printing on fabric which involves a deal of time in that preparation. The waste factor is turning into a huge cost. It should just be a simple thing to tell the print dialog box what I want it to do and have it do it. Help, does anyone have a solution?
Hi Pat,
Yes I marked the question as Assumed Answered. I needed to move on. I have never taken part in a forum and couldn’t wait any longer for any input so not wanting anyone to waste the time answering me, I marked the question as assumed answered. I guess this was the wrong thing to do and I apologize to the forum.
I did go another route and loaded and enlarged the photo in Photoshop Elements, Then cropped the photo to the area I needed to reprint. I probably should have done this in the first place!
Again, my apology to the forum for my lack of patience in waiting for a reply.

I have a mac book pro. Yesterday the mail app failed to open. I have tried to open it from the dock and the application folder but nothing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions to get it to work?
You don't need iDVD unless you are going to make DVDs. If you are just trying to share files, iDVD won't help you at all.
What you want to do is in iMovie, choose File/Share/File, and export that way. It creates an .mp4 file that should be readable on Macs or Windows.
You could also File/Share/YouTube if you don't mind posting them to YouTube, because of course YouTube videos are watchable by any Mac or Windows computer made in the last 10 years.
