I am stuck in Windows 8 after upgrading from XP sp3.

I upgraded while in windows not thinking. I now realize I should have used bootcamp assistant (although Win 8 is not supported).
My problem is I can't boot back into mac os. I hold down the Alt. key during start up but no luck. I can't find any start up disk options in windows.
Intel Imac 10.8
Thanks for any help.

I don't ever recall seeing 16GB in all my reading. Okay, yes for 32-bit but that really seems... misleading unless Home Basic.

As for how large, depends on a number of things like how much RAM, page file, hibernation, temp files, etc. More for 64-bit than 32-bit. The amount needed for rollback drivers, restore points, should also be taken into account. Thumbnails and cache, too.
I use 64-bit version, consumes 65GB, and I really don't have much, and all my data, installers and updaters and such are kept on another hard drive, not the system drive.
At least you can't normally "upgrade" from XP to 7, you have to do a custom clean install so you shouldn't have anything left behind or in Windows.old
I wouldn't install Norton. MSSE is fine, all you need (I did use beta's of Norton 360 v.3 and others too).

Insufficient Hard Drive Space in Windows 7 after upgrading from XP Bootcamp

I just upgraded from windows xp to windows 7 via bootcamp with success; however, I find the hard drive space diminished. I originally had 32gb partition for xp and continued to use that allocation space since my macbook pro has about only 120 gb total space. I never checked how much space I had from the beginning but now after I installed several applications such as norton, skype, yahoo messenger, etc., I have about 1 gb left free looking at "my computer". I've looked around and found that the minimal requirement for windows 7 is 16 gb. That does not make sense that I have 32 gb and am now left with just 1 gb with just basic programs installed and I do mean basic; no huge programs since I just use my mac as a "leisure" laptop. Please help! I tried googling and looking for answers in discussion boards and can't find an answer.

Firefox 3.6.x will not start on Windows Vista after upgrading from 3.5.13

I have tried to upgrade Firefox 3.5.x (currently 3.5.13) to several versions of Firefox 3.6.x (currently 3.6.10). Whenever I try to open Firefox after the 3.6.x install, nothing happens. This occurs even if I uninstall 3.5.x first. If I uninstall 3.6.x and reinstall 3.5.x everything works fine.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Lync 2013 Client pops up automatically while typing in Word , Excel in Windows 7 after upgrade from Lync 2010 client

Hello All,
Facing very much weird issue for only 4 users in my organization. This 4 users are migrated to Lync 2013 pool from Lync 2010 pool with Lync 2010 client migrated to Lync 2013 client.
Now whenever this users are typing in (apps like word, excel) automatically pops up Lync 2013 client which is annoying.
All my users are Windows 7 with latest updates & updates Lync 2013 with latest updates installed.
Any help really appreciated.

Hi
The solution is to do a ‘repair’ install of Office 2013. This will reregister the needed components and the popups will stop.
A repair install can be done from ‘Programs and Features’, highlight Office 2013 and click ‘Change’. When the install wizard appears, choose the ‘repair’ option.

Elements 5 will not start from the windows old file after upgrading from vista to win 7

Elements 5 will not start from windows.old after upgrading from vista to win 7

Ideally there should not be any impact of OS change, but officially PSE5 is not supported on Win7.
What exactly happens ? Can you see the processes running in Task-manager?

Bad performance on CF9 after upgrade from CF8

Hello and happy new year for everybody
I'm stuck with a problem after upgrade from CF8 entreprise to CF9 entreprise.
We are using IIS6 on WIN2003R2 (SP2).
There are a lot of "503 Server Error" with no content. (about 0.05% of request). This can be occured on big or small CFM, graphic ressources, etc...
For each error I can see the following error on the connector logs (jrun_iis6_wildcardYYMMDD.log).
2011-01-02 19:00:05 jrISAPI[1456:3940] returning error page for JRun too busy or out of memory
I've never seen this message in previous CF connector version.
And on the jrun log (coldfusion-outXXX.log), I read the following errors:

There is no line about a memory issue!
These errors happening on random request not ALL!! (arround 0.05%), and there is no real link between load and this... Our applications handle a lot of POST download, but like I've described before, error can occured on classic cfm page and static ressource...
What I mean with upgrade CF8 to CF9, is with our 10 other servers running on CF8, I've never see that 503 issue outside a real jrun problem (like a memory crash, restart, etc...)

Do you know if it should be possible to try old JRun connector used by CF8 ?

Windows media player stop working after upgraded from firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.

windows media player stop working after upgraded from Firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.
the plugin for win media player is already installed and working fine in FF 6.02 before upgrade. i have Google this issue without any result so far. so i reinstalled the old version 6.02, until fix is found.
anyone has the similar issue with Firefox 7.01 in Win 7 32 bit ?

The issue was not with FF 7.01. VLC player version 1.11.1 is conflicting with windows media player when FF 7.01 tries to play media files! Which was not happening before in FF 6.02.
VLC and plugin media player need to be uninstalled first, then uninstalled FF 6.02. Install FF 7.01 and then win plugin media player again.

DfMagicStage.nib window opens after upgrading to iLife 08

After upgrading from iLife 06 to iLife 08, every time I boot my Mac Pro a window opens named DfMagicStage.nib. This DfMagicStage.nib window contains the following four files: classes.nib, data.dependency, info.nib, keyedobjects.nib.
I opened up these files in TextEdit and the one thing they appear to have in common is Garage Band references.
Does anyone know what is causing this to happen? I have searched Apple's Support site and these discussion forums, and Google, but have not had any luck figuring this out.

Thanks WH! That worked like a charm. It had been bugging me ever since iLife 08 was released.
You're welcome. Glad to help. That was definitely anomalous/weird for that to happen. So far, I haven't heard of anyone else that has had that happen to them.
Anyway, glad you got it cleared up.

IPhone 5 stuck in portrait mode after upgrade to iOS 8

iPhone 5 stuck in portrait mode after upgrade to iOS 8.
Phone was fine before the upgrade, iOS 8.1 did not fix the issue.
Have done a factory reset at Genius bar and they say it's a hardware issue and have gotten this response below:
"Now, when you perform an update to any iOS device many system checks are run to verify that all components are working as they should. This is part of the firmware update process. When these checks are run sometimes issues are detected, even if all seemed to be running well previously. When this happens one of two things can occur. Either the hardware will be deactivated completely, or it will be locked in a state of use so that the device can still be used. In the case of the gyroscope for screen rotation, the firmware locks in place so that while not perfect, the device can still remain on some functioning level. This is what appears to have happened when you updated. The software itself did not cause any failure, but it detected a currently upcoming issue and prevented it from becoming worse."
All I want is a replacement but they want me to pay £199 since it's out of warranty.
Anyone have the same issue?

If the device is out of warranty you must pay the out of warranty replacement fee to have your iPhone replaced. If the phone was still under warranty the phone would have been replaced at no charge.

Scanner of HP 8500 A909g does not work after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10

After upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and subsequent upgrade of printer software, the scanner functionality did not work. When I tried to uninstall the printer software I got the message "HP uninstaller has stopped working". After another upgrade of printer software the scanner was still not working. How can I get around this problem? Update:
I followed the instructions for a similar problem with Windows 8 on http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Scan-doesn-t-work-on-Solution-Center-after-migrating-to-Win/td-p/2228367.After this, the scanning seems to work. Not sure whether it is possible to uninstall, though (don't want to try since it is working).

I had the same problem with my Officejet Pro 8600 All-in-One scanner, sfter upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. After uninstalling and then reinstalling the printer driver, the problem is solved. You can look up the model of your printer on HP's support site and download it from there. Apparently, not all printers are compatible with Windows 10. In that case, they recommend you buy a new printer. ;-)

I am stuck in Windows 8 after upgrading from XP sp3.
