ISight on Bootcamp Windows 7 no longer working

After upgrading to Lion OS X, my iSight no longer works on Bootcamp Windows 7. It formerly worked under Snow Leopard's Bootcamp Win 7.

i would believe it might be the limiting of the number of programs during startup.
do a msconfig and configure it to startup only windows item only. See if this makes any diference

Pop-up windows no longer working! HELP

Hello,
When I click on a button inside my shopping cart software that would normally bring up a Popup window so that I can select Options or Related products is no longer working.
I tired rebooting, reseting Safari, clear cache, history and all that but nothing works.
So I installed Firefox fully expecting this to solve the problem, but dang, no popup windows. Yes, I disable the block popup windows feature on both browsers, but no luck.
My iMac is only a couple months old and the popups windows where working fine last week and I have not installed any new software that I can think of.
I can use my PC with Interner Explorer an the popup window selection works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks. I will give this a try and let you know.
I also tried the other iMac we have here and it has the same problem, however my PC with IE works fine. Very strange. It almost seems like there was a software update recently that broke something.
Just to be clear....I am trying to click on a button inside the "control panel" of my shopping cart software (www.quikstore.com) When you click on this button, a new mini window should pop up so that I can select an option like Small, medium or Large, as an example. This popup worked fine last week.
Thanks,
Mike

Isight drivers for WIndows 7 - not working?

Hi,
Have a new IMac and am trying to get Isight working in a Parallels Windows 7 VM environment.
Isight works fine in Mac OS (Skye, Oovoo, etc).
Tried to install the drivers from the Mac OS disk (appleisightinstaller.exe) and they appear to be installed okay.
BUT, while the device exists, I cant see any picture or when I click on settings get no settings to change. Additionally, the Isight led on the device never comes on.
Anyone got any ideas as to what I should do.
I have tried:
1. De-installing the driver and reinstalling
2. Have edited the registry in Windows to delete all references
The reason I would like to get this working is I am trying to use Polycom PVX video conferencing software (I need it for work) and so my idea was to run it in a Parallels VM as its only available for Windows.
Hope you can help
Cheers

Migration from 1.6 to Apex 3.1 - Popup windows no longer working

We just moved our application to Apex 3.1 from HTMLDB 1.6. The only thing that is not working since we migrated is the popup window that used to work. Now a window still pops up, but it is the login screen, not the expected window, and even if one logs in at that point, it just takes them back to the main screen, not to the expected popup window. Is there some setting I have to change to make it work as it did before, or does the code go somewhere else now? This is the code:
The URL redirect of a button on the calling page: javascript:callMyPopup('P4_PRI_CONTACT_ID');
The javascript on that same page: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function callMyPopup (formItem1) {
var formVal1 = document.getElementById(formItem1).value;
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:10:::::P10_CONTACT_ID:' + formVal1 ;
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>

Bonjour for Windows no longer works after SP3 is installed

Bonjour for Windows was working fine until SP3 came out. Now I can see the printer and Bonjour goes through the motions to set it up, but I can't print to the printer.
The whole construct of "Printer.local" or "AirPortExpress.local" doesn't seem to work in a printer Port configuration any more.
I can ping the Printer.local or AirPortExpress.local in a command window, but the print spooler can't seem to send anything to the printer if the name.local construct is used in the port configuration.
If I replace the printer.local name in the port configuration with the IP address instead of the printer.local name, I can print fine. The only exception to this is printers hanging off of an AirPortExpress. I can't print to any printer that is attached to an Airport Express. Even if I setup a port to the IP address, I can't print to that printer.
Another user that had this problem uninstalled SP3, I'm contemplating that now.

I have Bonjour installed on my ThinkPad running WinXP. It can't see my LAN-connected HP printer. I don't even see an option to add a Bonjour printer.
( how do you add a Bonjour printer??
Nor can any of my Macs see the shared documents folder on the PC. They could before I upgraded to SP3. Sharing for that folder is turned on, of course
I removed the Bonjour component and reinstalled it. No diference.
I downloaded the latest Bonjour installer from Apple and installed that.
Turned firewall off. No difference.
The Windows Component Manager shows that the Bonjour service is running. I stopped and restarted the service. No joy.
The Windows Event Viewer shows that the Bonjour service is logging informational error messages ID=1 from time to time.

File Properties Window no longer working

This is for Acrobat X1 Pro.
Normally, the Properties tab under the File section will bring up a window on top of the file being worked on. The information in the properties section covers the
original file.
All of a sudden, the information in the properties section became transparent, so that the original file is still visible and the properties information is unreadable, being superseded by the original file.
Has anyone had this problem and is there a solution?

Have you tried deleting the media cache and database? Could quite well be the source of the problem.

Windows no longer working

I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with my Windows for a bit now. It reported a corrupt file in my external hard drive (some file for a video game. It often occurs when Windows decides it doesn't want to be connected properly to the external). I went to use command prompt, which I've used before (Windows prevented me from deleting a file by using the argument that it didn't exist enough to be deleted) and the chkdsk command. If I recall it correctly checked the main disc (not the external because I forgot to specify that) and when I went to check the disc AND delete or repair the corrupted file(s) I received and error. After restarting Windows I found that I get the error every time I log into the computer (it has a number like 0.5000x in it or something). My computer goes to the desktop but there is no icons, no start menu, nothing. Just the desktop.
So if any is unfortunate enough to have had this same Windows error then please give me information on how to solve it.
If not, I was already planning on just reinstalling everything that is connected to Windows (the odds of having the same Windows error seem so small these days). I did not install my Windows in the first place so I don't know the order of things. I think, correct me wherever I am wrong, Boot Camp is installed on Mac, then Boot Camp creates a partition for Windows, and finally Windows is installed on the partition.
I looked in the help sections already but it says that to upgrade Boot Camp to the newer versions (I actually have the BETA version of Boot Camp, something I didn't realize) I have to do install it on the Windows side and have Leopard installed.
Basically, I am all confused about how to reinstall both Boot Camp and Windows on my computer. I will shortly be getting Leopard hopefully so if that's a requirement don't worry. I need the order of what needs to be installed and deleted and the sides of the computer (Mac or Windows) that things need to be done on.

Last time I stuck the Windows disc into the computer and started with it, I didn't press a button in time (it says 'press any button to boot from disc' in top left corner but it goes away really fast and I apparently wasn't watching for it). I managed to get through the steps on the page you linked to and I repaired my Windows. NOW it gets some error about not enough memory existing for something about API. It then proceeds to restart the computer, get the error again, restart the computer, get the error...
If it weren't so annoying I'd say the infinite startup would be cool. I think the easiest way to fix my problem is to uninstall Windows and then reinstall it. If that actually would be guaranteed to solve the problem, them please tell me:
1. How to uninstall Windows (I assume that the cd key can then be reused)
2. How to install Windows
3. Remind me that I need to do something or other with boot camp by sticking the Leopard cd into Windows (I am pretty sure that's what the help here said).

It is necessary for me to have more than one window open in Firefox, and the command (New Window) no longer works. How do I have two different websites open at the same time on separate displays?

I used to be able to open two Firefox windows at a time, with one website on one display and another website on another display. Now when I select New Window, nothing happens.

You can tear off a tab (right-click: Move to New Window) to open it in another window and resize both windows so you see them at the same time.

Bootcamp Assistant no longer working - asking for boot rom?

Hi,
I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion (1 SSD 250 GB and 1 HD 2 To) and wanted to create an bootcamp partition. As I start the Boot Camp assistant I get an error stating: "Boot Camp Assitant cannot be used. You must update your computer's Boot ROM firmware before using this setup assistant."
Any suggestions?

DVD optical drive no longer works with Windows under bootcamp or parallels

For some strange reason, the DVD optical drive- Optiarc 5680 on my 27" iMac, no longer works anymore with Windows under Parallels or Bootcamp. It used to work perfectly fine before, but now it just shows up with a yellow exclamation mark under Device Manager and Code 39 "Windows cannot load the device driver..."
The DVD drive continues to still work fine with OSX. But it won't work anymore under Windows via Parallels or bootcamp, despite trying to uninstall the optical device drivers, update, reinstall, etc. Anybody else experiencing this or have any ideas?

Finally found the solution for anybody else who runs into this problem. It was solved by doing a registry mod in Windows from this site:
http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
described in “My CD drives have vanished (from Explorer, Device Manager, etc.)”
After applying the registry changes the DVD optical drive worked instantly again with Windows....sigh...guess I can't blame the Mac on this one.

Mcbook Pro (2009) freezing all the time. Bootcamp windows works perfectly...

Hi,
I'm very confused.
I've had my macbook pro for 2 years now, with bootcamp Windows installed for almost that long without a problem.
As of today my macbook keeps locking up everytime I click on an application or click my mouse on something. It freezes with any action and stays busy for about a minute before doing all my commands.
The problem is, my Windows 7 works perfectly fine! Which means, unlike the other people posting here about their freezing macs, it's NOT a hardware issue!
I installed Lion about 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure what's going on. I don't really know what to do. I'll do some cleanups and everything, and post a little later.

Do you have FileVault enabled or a Mac with a "Fusion" drive?
It appears to be trying to boot into Safe Mode, but fails. I've seen Safe mode fail for the above reasons.
Can you boot into Recovery? OS X: About OS X Recovery
if so, try repairing the disk. http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/08/repair-boot-disk-mac-os-x-disk-utilit/

ITunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114..

iTunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying an application is attempting to access C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114. Same msg, or one that says unable to install, when trying to update or reinstall iTunes. iTunes worked well up until about a month ago when this error msg starting appearing.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

ICloud email no longer working on Window 7.8 Phone

I have been receiving my Apple emails on my Windows 7.8 Phone successfully for the last 2 years. About 3 months ago emails could no longer be sent or received and I typically get the following error codes dependant upon how I have my IMAP/SMTP settings configured; 800c2746 or 80072FA8.
Apple email is working fine from my Android tablet and also from my Windows 7 PC and I've tried replicating these settings on my phone without success. I've googled the problem and tried all the different set up options I can find but not have worked. I'm beyond frustrated now and I suspect Apple has broken something during the recent iCloud work for IOS or Yosemite as nothing has changed on any of my devices and it's only my Windows phone that no longer works.
Does ANYONE have a Windows 7 Phone (mine is a Nokia 800) that is successfully sending and receiving iCloud emails as of today, 2nd November 2014. If you do would you be kind enough to tell me what server settings you are using.
Thanks.

We have exatcly the same problem with Samsung omnia 7 (Windows phone 7.8).
We are using the Server settings from this page: iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients - Apple Support
We have this problem since mid september and no solution.

I used to use a bookmark for maximizing the firefox window, but in FF9 it no longer works.

Before upgrading, I used the following snippet of code in the "Location" field of a Bookmark:
javascript:self.resizeTo(screen.availwidth,screen.availheight);self.moveto(0,0);
However, with FF9 that no longer works. I attempted to change the front portion (before the open parenthesis) to:
browser.window.resize_to
but after I remove focus from the text box, it adds the "http://" to the front of the code and a "/" to the end of it. I have two questions:
#1. Is there a way to stop Firefox from adding the "http://" and "/" to the location box?
#2. Is there a better way to set up the bookmark (or another quick-access method) to automatically resize the window?

You can only do that in the Scratchpad if an XUL window like about:addons or about:config is open.
*Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad (Shift+F4)
You can no longer run JavaScript code via the location bar in Firefox 6 and later.<br />
You can see an error message in the Tools > Error Console.<br />
That code now gets a null principal for security reasons and doesn't have any effect (Bug 656433).<br />
You need to create a (keyword) bookmarklet and run the code by invoking that bookmark.<br />
Use the Scratch pad (Firefox > Web Developer > Scratchpad; Shift+F4) to run JavaScript code.<br />
Open a tab with an XUL page like about:addons (Tools > Addons) to be able to resize or move a window via JavaScript code in the Scratchpad in Firefox 9+.<br />
