I have plenty if space on my hard drive for the partition.
What do I need to do to solve this problem? I'm completely stuck at this point.
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
ok then. At least that rules out that my eyes gone bad
How is your internal harddisk organized ?
Do you have one single OSX volume on it, or is it partitioned ?
The mentioned 'Disk 1' and 'Disk 2' are irritating me, do you have any external harddisks connected and running ?
If so, disconnect them all and every other external device except mouse and keyboard when installing Vista.
Have you the BootCamp Assistant in OSX (folder Applications/Utilities) to partition your internal harddisk for installing Vista as per the BootCamp Installation Guide http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

Hope you can assist, best wishes GG

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Restart your broadband device and your router, if different. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or obviously invalid, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 4
Back up all data, then take the steps suggested in this support article.
There are five steps in that article. Please take all of them. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.
Step 6
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 7
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 8
Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 9
According to one anecdotal report, Flash Player may interfere with iMessage, though I don't know how and can't confirm. To test this theory, select from the menu bar
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane. If this action solves the problem, please post your results.
Step 10
Boot into Recovery and reinstall OS X.
Step 11
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

Having trouble with global extension installation on Firefox 3.6.3

I am having trouble installing extensions globally on Firefox 3.6.3. As you know the -install-global-extension switch has been removed and you cannot point to the XPI in the registry any more. What I have done to get the extension ID and confirm it has unpacked successfully is to install the extensions as me into my own profile, which works fine and the extensions launch successfully (PROVING THEY ARE COMPATIBLE), then closing Firefox and cutting the folder from %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\4sd8sico.default\extensions and pasting into %programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\extensions. However when I do this the extension fails to launch, and when I go into the Addons manager it always says "Not compatible with Firefox 3.6.3".
Any ideas please? I have tried this with both Keyscrambler and Public Fox and they both do the same thing.
Many thanks
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

You'll need to unpack the xpi package and modify the install.rdf file in it. Look for em:maxVersion and change the version number to whatever you have installed to make it work.
I was having the same issue with the ireader addon. It would install fine in the local profile but kept getting flagged incompatible whenever I moved it to the global extensions directory.
Unpacking the package and changing the em:maxVersion attribute in install.rdf to 9.0 fixed the issue for me.

I have a windows 7 premium with the 64 bit driver and am having problems with installing itunes, i get an error message that states Apple Application Support is required to run itunes. i have tried 4 times to uninstall and reinstall with no success, help

I have a windows 7 premium laptop, 64 bit driver, have tried to install itunes but recieve an error when trying to open. Error states "Apple Application Support is required to run itunes. uninstall and reinstall again, error 2 (windows error 2). have tried this 4-5 times with no success. help!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

I am having trouble with pdf files continuously get damaged file message when try to open downloaded pdf with adobe reader

Cannot open downloaded pdf's with adobe reader. Have latest version of adobe program continuously get damaged file message. Anybody else having this problem? Using imac with osx10.7.1 (latest lion)

I am having the exact same problem. This is very disturbing.
Lately I have been deluged with adobe update dialogues. I don't know whether this is real or some kind of bugus malware phenomenon.
Imagine my surprise when I looked here in the forum and I am not alone.
Kaufmann's remark that we shouldn't be using adobe reader doesn't explain why it is malfunctioning like this. I have been using the reader on Mac OS for years, and I don't get what's happening now.
Does anyone realy know what is going on?

Trouble with lasso selection, quick selection, and error messages (saying selection is empty)

Hi there
I am trying to sect a person out of a picture and paste it into this collage picture I am working on. First i tried using the quick selection tool but I guess my man that I am trying to cut out has too many colors: when I go to use the quick selection it immediately goes into a box around the entire picture. I even tried painting the rest of the photo black with the exception of the man, but still the same results with the quick selection. Then I tried the lasso but nine times out of ten it would stop and make an odd selection. when I finally did get a good lasso selection (done after much cursing) then CS6 told me that "the selection is empty" . What? I did make a new layer before I did the selection.
Can you help me resolve these issues?
I just downloaded CS6 just a day ago and have a lot to learn, but i have worked with Paint.net and Paint Shop Pro for the past two years so I am familiar with paint and photo editing software.
Thanks
Kelly
[ text changed to be readable by an admin ]

Please don't submit your request in green. It is a needless distraction.
Currently you are trying to make a selection in a blank layer.
Return to the image layer, not the blank one you created, and you will be able to make a selection.
Once selected, hit Cmd+J to put your selected object on a new layer. I think that is what you had in mind.

Trouble with completing the installation

hi there.
i am having trouble with completing the installation process of iTunes 7.0.2. i get to the part where status says "Registering Modules" and it stops there. i leave the program on and untouched for 30 minutes and the installation is still not complete. this totally screws up my computer and makes it unable for me to open iTunes at all. i have unistalled my old iPod softwear (i lost the thing anyhow) and there is no change. please help me i am at the end of my rope and i dont know what to do

i am having trouble with completing the installation process of iTunes 7.0.2. i get to the part where status says "Registering Modules"
this document is the best place to start with one of those:
iTunes 7 or later for Windows Installation stops responding while "registering modules"
... but if no joy there, and you have SpyCatcher (or the version of Ghostsurf Platinum that contains SpyCatcher) on that PC, try uninstalling SpyCatcher altogether prior to the iTunes install.
if the itunes install goes through properly after that, launch itunes at least once prior to reinstalling SpyCatcher.
