Has anyone had 8.1 success?

im just asking because all im seeing is failures or issues  the update went fine on my 2011 Macbook Pro and i havent found a single issue yet.  i just wanna see if im not the only one.  i was on 7 x64 RTM then went to 8 pro RTM via MS update to windows 8 thing  then did all the windows 8 updates then did the 8.1 update  all on Bootcamp 5 drivers
here is a screenshot for proof:
just wondering.

Just bought a new late 2013 Macbook Pro 13-inch with Retina display today. There seems to be a bug in the Boot Camp Assistant. It froze after creating the BOOTCAMP Windows partition. Not a big deal though. The Windows 8.1 install went without a hitch. Some interesting observations though. It appears Apple has finally adhered to the EFI spec on their computers. My last Mac was an early 2009 Mac Mini with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. It was not compatible with 64-bit Windows Vista or 64-bit Windows 7. On that computer the EFI system partition was a read only HFS+ partition which meant you had to do a traditional BIOS install. The EFI spec has always stated that the EFI System Partition must be a FAT partition since the first version of the spec was written. On my new late 2013 Macbook Pro the EFI system partition is a FAT partition. In fact, it's no longer possible to do a BIOS install of Windows. The Windows setup program complains that it can't install to the BOOTCAMP partition because the hard disk has a GPT partition table. Windows boots considerably faster thanks to the EFI install. On my 2009 Mac Mini it took a whopping 5 minutes to boot into 32-bit Windows 7. That's how long it took the Mac Mini just to load its BIOS compatibility mode so Windows 7 could boot.

  • Has anyone had any consistent success using DTM for Mac's??????

    If you did - share how.
    I have read for hours, tried so many things and still no success. Once in a blue moon - maybe.
    I love my Storm, but at times when DTM deletes all my info - it may end up in the trash.
    I'm looking for a simple straight forward way to get this to work.
    All I need to sync is iCal.
    If Verizon had the iphone - I would switch in a minute - I bet that would sync without issue.
    Bryan

    I also had Missing Sync on my Mac, but I uninstalled it before installing BB DM for Mac. When BB DM 1.0.2 came out, the old DM uninstaller failed, so I used a 3rd party app to uninstall it before installing the update.
    I was able to successfully update the BB OS using the first version of DM for Mac.
    Nevertheless, I've had extremely frustrating problems. (iCal events duplicated, items created or changed on BB not getting synced, calendar items and memos erased during sync, etc.)
    I have BusySync installed so that iCal syncs with Google Calendar. Would that cause a problem? If so, then BB DM for Mac is absolutely unusable for my purposes.
    Thanks,

  • Has anyone had had success with Time Machine and Airport Express 6th gen?

    For the last six months I have attempted to use the Time Machine product to provide first level backup for my two MacBook Airs and iMac.  Tryed a number of powered USB drives, tryed all of the current 10.8, 10.9 OSX software.  The Time Machine product seems to work for about a month to six weeks and then fails with message about the file integrity or access problems.  In all cases I can acess files on the drive and the only application that struugles with the AE usb drive is Time Machine.
    You would think that if it works for a month it should work for a year?
    I have purchased Carbon Copy Cloner and it seems to function without a problem and I think that I am probably better off with a once a day clone than a Time Machine with data integrity problems.
    Has anyone had long term success with Time Machine and AE sixth gen?

    You are connecting a USB hard disk to the new 802.11ac AirPort Extreme, not an Express, correct? If so, it works fine with both bus powered and self-powered drive enclosures, and I have no immediate explanation for what's going on.
    You would think that if it works for a month it should work for a year?
    Yes, besides the passage of time the only thing that is changing is the amount of available space on the backup volume, which could be a factor. Are you using separate drives for each Mac, or are they all being backed up to the same drive? If it's only one drive, is it partitioned or are they all sharing a single partition?
    Are you sharing backup volumes with other, non-Time Machine files? That shouldn't cause the problem, but it's not a good idea. 
    What errors are being logged in system.log? Filter for backupd to find all Time-Machine related entries.

  • Has ANYONE had any success installing 2.0?

    Before I take the plunge, has anyone had success updating to 2.0? I am sure there must be some who are enjoying themselves now, so if you have been successful, was there a trick or are some people simply having problems?

    Yes - I just upgraded to 2.0 about an hour and a half ago. I was fighting an issue with not being able to backup my phone prior to the upgrade (unknown error -43, which I finally tracked down to iTunes not playing nicely with a redirected Application Data folder). I ended up backing up the phone on my laptop and running the upgrade from there. Entire process took about 30 minutes to download the update, upgrade the phone, restore my settings, etc. - and it even activated immediately upon completion, and I had two new text messages that came through right away . . .

    The Juniper VPN is a SSL-based VPN solution whereas the native client supports L2TP and PPTP only - in other words they're completely different beasts.
    That said, you shouldn't have any issue connecting to the SSL-VPN. I do it almost daily. You may need to be running the latest (or at least, recent) software on the Juniper box, though - earlier versions of the Juniper software had problems.

  • Has anyone had success using SharePoint and FrameMaker 10 together using CMS?

    Has anyone had success using SharePoint and FrameMaker 10 together using CMS?

    Thanks for reminding to at least update the results thus far.
    Update 4:
    I did get quite a bit of support initially although slowly over a period of a month or so. After Adobe FM support and my SharePoint systems engineer reviewed how FM10 was setup on my computer (which I am the admin for our department’s SP site) and how it interfaces with our SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition, there was two conclusions:
    Basically Adobe FM Support said that FM10 did not support claims-based authentication and they can no longer help me. They said it will work with FM11 when it comes out.
    My SP Systems Engineer, said that FM10 is connecting to SP 2010 just fine but that the FM10 has a software glitch that causes FM10 lose control when executing checkout procedure within FM10. I can checkout and edit that same file in SP with no problems.
    About a month later, I upgraded to FM11 and ran into the same problem. I attempted to get Adobe FM Support to help and they said they will look into and get back to me. That was in July and I have not heard anything more from them, and to be honest, my schedule has been extremely busy the last 5 months that I have not had time to pursue it any further.
    Needless to say, I was very disappointed with the SP interface and, overall, the lackluster support I received from Adobe. Having a working SP interface was one of the criteria for purchasing TCS3.5 (and subsequent upgrade) in the first place.
    One thing of note, we migrated from SP 2007 to SP 2010 in February 2011 and, at the time of Adobe support, I still had access to my SP 2007 site. FM10 and FM11 had to no issues working with SP2007. Unfortunately, SP 2007 is not an option for me anymore.
    Also, another observation of FM10/11 not working with SP 2010, it seems that FM10/11 is automatically configured to work with SharePoint Drafts folder locally when connecting to the SharePoint library. This worked just fine with SP 2007 but SP 2010 does not use SharePoint Drafts folder locally the same way (the programming changed, don’t recall where I saw it, probably when searching this issue online)  and I suspect that is one of the main issues why it does not work correctly.
    So at this time, I have not found a working solution to this problem.

  • My imac intel display is frozen.  Both the mouse and my network is working.  Has anyone had problems like this and were you successful at fixing it?

    My imac (Intel) display is frozen.  Both the mouse and the network are working.  I've shut down various times, pulled the cord from the receptacle on the power strip, and restarted several times.  No luck.  Has anyone had problems like this and were you successful at fixing it?  Thanks.  Would appreciate any help.  Paula

    Same problem, but a c.2009 iMac running OS X 10.9.1. Just happened overnight. Presently, I'm able to access my HD via wireless via laptop and copying all non-backed up files to an external drive. So far, Paula is the only other person I've found with this same problem and hers was three years ago! Going to keep searching for an answer.

  • Has anyone had trouble manipulating Nikon D750 raw image (NEF) in Aperture version 3.6 on Yosemite?

    Has anyone had trouble manipulating Nikon D750 raw image (NEF) in Aperture (version 3.6 500021000000000.3, Digital Camera RAW 6.0 - Build 761.5, Digital Camera RAW support 6000 - Build 136.1)
    I used to be able to manipuplate Nikon Raw (NEF) images from a Nikon D70 and D3200 using Aperture, until the 70 died and the 3200 was stolen about 18 months ago. Recently I did two things: (1) I upgraded OS X to Yosemite and (2) purchased a Nikon D750.  I have successfully imported NEF files from the camera to Aperture, but the images do not render/ cannot be opened/ manipulated. Instead, I see a black thumbnail for each imported image with a cassette recorder play icon in the center of each image. 
    I can view the NEF image in Finder preview mode, either directly when viewing the images on the camera SD card or after exporting the previously imported NEF image from Aperture to my desktop or user folder.  Previously imported NEF image seem unaffected.
    thanks.
    D.

    The current Apple OSX 10.10 Yosemite and the current Aperture version 3.6 do not have support yet for importing Nikon d750 nef/raw files. It usually takes Apple six to eight weeks to release a new digital camera raw update file for new Nikon dslr models. Once that digital camera raw update file is finally released, update your current version of Aperture and that will allow you to import your d750 raw files. In the meantime, you have many workarounds. In my opinion, the easiest is to save images in duplicate nef/raw and jpeg image files to your SD cards.
    And for now, just import the jpegs to Aperture 3.6 from your d750.  Process your jpegs in Aperture - and hope your clients are happy with the jpegs and can wait for later nef/raw image processing. Be sure to save and do not erase your original SD cards that include the nef/raw and jpeg files - then when Aperture finally releases a new digital camera raw file update that includes the d750 - just insert your original camera SD cards into the computer platform and import the old d750 nef/raw files and edit/process them.
    There are many other ways to proceed in the interim as well. You can always import your d750 nef/raw images into Lightroom (if it has been updated to convert the d750 nef files) and process them there. But for the time being, if you can afford to save and hold onto your original SD cards and wait for the inevitable Aperture digital camera raw update, this is a very easy and simple way to proceed.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Safiari shuts down after visiting facebook, but no other website. Has anyone had this?

    Safiari shuts down after visiting facebook, but no other website. Has anyone had this?

    Seems my situation is unique? No one can help me?
    Anyways an update: I held the Opt, then after it showed bootcamp, I was able to hold down on a set of keys (can't remember what I used) but I got the recovery disk to load.  It would not do anything at all with my mac os hard drive. It wouldn't even let me erase or reformat the drive.
    My option left was to find an external drive to install the OS snow leopard disk. I ran into an additional problem that the install disk was scratched. I had to clean it and buff off some of the scratches with toothpaste. That seemed to clean it just enough for the disk to finish a successful installation on the external drive.
    From there I was able to format the Mac OS partition.  Now ever since, different error checking software tells me the hard drive is fine?  Should I trust it anymore? This is really odd. How can pending sectors suddenly be fixed by this problem?  Also it shows I have no more bad sectors in the drive.
    I still feel skeptical. As far as my files go, looks like time machine can successfully restore my system up to Sept 28 or 29 this year. Everything after that has been backed up under my PC formatted external drive.

  • Has anyone had luck streaming videos using Brightcove?

    Are videos are located on a video server hosted by Brightcove in MP4 format. Using a web object in Captivate 8 we are able to embed the url and view the project fine. Once we publish and upload to our LMS, the course crashes once the url is encountered.
    Has anyone had any success out there?

    Just in case anyone else has this issue, we resolved it simply by changing our browser setting to allow mixed/unsecure content which for the time being allowed us to identify the issue.
