Lion update and parallels 7

I updated Lion with existing paralles 7 installed and in-use. After update the parallels wizard wants to set up a new machine. It looks like the previous set-up has been erased. Has anyone had this problem? Do I need to re-install windows 7 again?

No, it wouldn't. 2.5 GB of free RAM could consist of 5 chunks of 500 MB of contiguous RAM, separated by RAM allocated by other processes.
Here is a hypothetical memory map. Assume a is application memory, o is operating system memory, and - is free memory.
boot:           oooo--------------
run app1:    ooooaao-----------
run app2:    ooooaaoaaaaaaoo---quit app1:   oooo---aaaaaaoo---
Maybe there is some issue in the way 10.7.4, in some perticolar situations, handle the process of freeing RAM.
What you can't accept, and I don't know why, is that before the update to 10.7.4 everithing was fine.
I don't know why you don't beleve me.
There is nothing in the 10.7.4 update description that mentions a re-write of the virtual memory system. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5167
I just worte here to see if someone could give any advice to do further invesigations.
I know the price of upgrading RAM but I think that this would be a "microsoft like" solution
and I'm trying to find what service or task or whatever is creating this issue.
The only thing "Microsoft like" about buying more RAM is the fact that you need it to run your Microsoft operating systems. It has been this way as long as I can remember. I upgraded my MacBook to 4 GB RAM in 2008 just so I could run Windows more easily.
Perhaps you have your virtual memory settings too high. Depending on what you are doing in the VM, you may not need the default settings. XP will run low-intensity tasks with a 500 MB VM size. It will run just about anything in 1 GB. Linux should run fine in the same range too.

I have mountain lion OSX and parallels with Windows. Every time I click on a hyperlink in other applications it opens - some 7 Zip file explorer inside Parallels but doesn't go to Safari. Does anyone know solution?

I suggest that you run software update, after which you should have Safari 6.0.5 - then check Safari - Preferences - Privacy & see that 'Block cookies' is not set to Always.
Failing that - switch Safari extensions Off via Safari - Preferences - Extensions & test again

By install i presume you mean add it to the bottom of the machine ?
Yes, and it's rather easy to do too.
Your machine has two slots. These are the specs for a 2008 iMac (if your machine is different then check with Crucial.com and they will match the correct RAM for your machine)
Maximum Memory
6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
So all you need to do is visit Crucial.com or OtherWorld Computing to order it, and OtherWorld Computing has install videos.
Here is one on YouTube. Easy pleasy.
Just make sure to discharge any static electricity and not touch the contacts, just the plastic edges.

Hello
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>

Mountain Lion update, and now computer won't start up?

Writing this for a friend, as his computer is inop at the moment. Hence this message.
He has a new 27" iMac. He upgraded to Mountain Lion a few weeks ago, and then had intermittent problems with apps unexpectantly shutting down.
Now he did a ML update this morning, and his computer won't start up. It gets to the point of the Apple logo coming up, a progress bar, and then the spinning wheel, but then shuts itself down right afterwards.
A safe boot yields the exact same result.
Any thoughts out there on what he could try to get it up and running again?
Thanks much for any and all help.

Thank you for the fast response.
He was able to get into Disk Utility with the Command and R keys, but when he tried verifying the disk, in red it said 'Invalid Node Structure, volume could not be verified completely'.
He went ahead and verified it anyway, then proceeded to repair it. Howver, it stopped repairing, said it cannot repair, and that he should back up files and reformat the disk.
How can he back up his files? He cannot see a way to do it. Is there anything else he can do besides having to reformat the disk?
This is his first Mac (after much prompting from me to go Mac), and he's afraid he's now lost everything on there.

Security Update and Parallels running XP

Is anyone successfully able to use networking using Parallels running XP after installing the Aug 1 Security Update?
Things were working fine before I ran the update. Now my XP sessions don't establish a network connection at work.

I can connect just fine. I was having problems using Airport running XP before the update. Had something to do with my VM and Mac having too similar a name.

What do I do when my mac won't start up? I put it in sleep mode after installing the latest OS Lion update and now it won't open up.

Near new mac pro retina, updated OS last night, re-started, finished my work & put it into sleep mode. On power, & hooked up to Thunderbolt screen. Got up this morning and it won't boot up. Is there anything I can do myself, or is this a shop problem?

Sounds like a #1 SMC or #2 PRAM reset is in order.
Step by Step to fix your Mac

I have just downloaded the Mountain Lion Update and would like to put it on my macbook. How do I do that?

How do I get Mountain Lion on my macbook after I have downloaded and installed it on my IMAC?

You'll need to sign in with the same ID on both computers to download it.
Or you can re-download it on the machine where you installed Mountain Lion (as it's deleted when you install it), and then you can copy it to the other machine and double click it to launch it and install.

Hi zenieth,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
I know that issues with the system sound, especially when watching video or listening to a song, can be very frustrating. In this situation I would recommend resetting the PRAM. Please use the attached article for instructions.

HT1338 I went to the Apple Store and bought the OSX Mountain Lion update and it is still downloading. The download began at around 7:00 PM last night. It is now 7:03AM. What's wrong. The icon on my computer says it is downloading still.

My OSX Mountain LIon is still downloading after the download was initiated 12 hours ago. What's wrong?

Possibly nothing. The whole thing relies on the amount of people currently doing the same thing as you and also your internet connection, remembering that WiFi is extremely slow.
How far through the download is it? If it's nearly done and at least still moving along I would be inclined to leave it. If not then you can stop it and start it all over again. Just be warned that if it is simply a connection issue then you might just be re-starting your clock
PS - I've seen the download take over 60hrs before.

IMac OS X Lion update and backup help needed

Hello have a few questions I really need answered, so thank you for looking a this discussion.
1) I have a Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I'm hoping to upgrade to the OX S Lion now in July, so that means I need to back up my data right? My real question is will the Time Capsule work with the operating system I have now? Also which one should I get? I have around 100 GB worth of pictures, music, and video.
2) Will OS X Lion even work on the computer I have now or is it too old?

1. Yes, you should backup. Before you do you should do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Backup your computer in some way. Use Time Machine or use Disk Utility's Restore option to clone your HDD:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
2. Lion will most certainly run on your computer. Requirements are a Core 2 Duo or better, 2 GBs of installed RAM, and 8-10 GBs of free space on the hard drive.
