Memory Limits while running Windows

Anyone know if the new MacPro tower can utilize more of the RAM when running Windows XP in BootCamp?

HI,
got a similar issue. I am using a proprieatary app that only runs on windows. When installed XP, I can only see 2GB out of the 3GB I have installed.
People think it is a windows limitation. it is not. Windows can recognise up to 3GB out of 4GB. The actual limit is that one application can not use more than 2GB. That is true.
Anyone has experience with the new macrpo and succedeed in getting memory correctly recognised ?

How can I turn on the integrated bluetooth radio while running windows 7 through bootcamp?

I am running a partitioned windows 7 64-bit on my macbook pro. The integrated bluetooth radio is turned on while using the Mac OS, but not while running windows 7. How can I fix this?

I would also like to be able to check if HT is working under Mac OS.
Another way to do that is to turn on Verbose Mode and watch the processor IDs that are enabled. And/or open the kernel.log in Console and find the beginning of today's boot. You should see a list of "AppleACPICPU: ProcessorId=# LocalApicId=# Enabled" counting up to the number of processors your Mac could have. For example, I've got one CPU but the Mac could hold two. Each CPU has six processors and each processor has two threads, so the kernel.log shows ProcessorId 0 to 11 having LocalApicId's enabled and 12 to 23 having LocalApicId's disabled (because the second CPU isn't installed).

HELP! Restarted while running windows setup! No MacOS when rebooted.

I have almost the same problem as this one (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8248433). I partitioned my 230G HD. I partitioned 32G for my windows. I've done boot camp before and everything went well. but i uninstalled it because I wanted more space. and now i ant it back. So i ran bootcamp to reinstall windows.
There was the setup.. but when it made me choose which partition to format, it only showed me one partition. And i first thought that it was big for a windows partition. But I clicked format anyway. It was about 6% when I felt that something was really wrong. so i restarted it in the hopes of going back to my mac os. BUT, when i restarted and held down control, the only things that are showing are the windows CD and the windows 'partition'! NO MAC OS!
I was confident in running bootcamp because i already did it countless times before! i did not expect this to happen NOW! Just when the school year was about to end! HELP! ALL MY FILES ARE IN HERE! I feel that I still have hope. because only 6% was reformatted. PLEASEEEEEE. HELP!

I am a person with zero technical understanding of OS X but - on the opposite hand - have blundered my way successfully through a lot of problems.
I see you have already used BC successfully once and so you have good experience there. I cannot comment on the extra large partition mystery you encountered, but I understand that you DID use BC to initiate a 2nd install of Windows, correct? And while installing Windows, Windows had you choose a partition but offered limited selection, correct? That is it only showed you one instead of the usual 2 (or is it 3? - I forget but it seems to me there is a 3rd partition of very small size required by the computer but that is of no consequence here...) In any case what we have was a suspicious start of a Windows install which was aborted 6% in.
I'm pretty sure the "damage" would have to be confined to a small part of the hard drive data. Your files are still there - you are scared of losing your Mac data (not Windows data) correct? On these boards there are a few individuals who purchased software that is very successful at saving files from a doomed Mac hard drive - just do a search here to get the name of that software.
But first - why not try something very simple and obvious. Boot to your Apple install disk (re-start with the Leopard DVD in and hold down the option key) and when the tool bar loads (I think after you choose which language you intend to use) mouse-over the toolbar options and click the Start Disk function JUST TO SEE if MAYBE your Mac install can be 'seen' (and started) from there.
If the above trick fails - another potential remedy may be had from Disk Utility and perhaps some sort of repair can be done from there....
I invite anyone with better knowledge to chime in here - I don't know anything about repairs from Disk Utility, esp. whether or not experimenting here would be dangerous or damaging to data....
Good Luck
PS - one final "remote" idea - some people obtain a Linux trial boot disk. It is a Linux OS on a DVD which - legend has it - can boot from your DVD drive and access files on your Mac install. Again - I have no practical knowledge on how this is done. Try Google I guess...

Is 4GB of memory enough to run windows 8.1 on macbook air or not?

If I buy macbook air, i scare that my mac will slow down after install windows 8.1 .
Because maybe i will use my mac for 3D designing or something.
So is 4GB of memory enough to run Mac OS and Windows 8.1 these two operating system?

If you're planning on running windows under Bootcamp you won't be running both operating systems at the same time. So.....is 4gb enough to run OS X and Win 8.1? Yes but as usual more is better, of 8gb is an option you'd be wise to get it. Ram on MacBook Air isn't upgradable......ever.

Word for Mac and Boot Camp, can I run Word for Mac while running Windows?

Hi There :
I just installed windows xp on my mac book pro. I have Word for Mac already installed. Is there any way by which I can use this Word software while I am running Windows.
Thanks a lot

You'd need to install a virtualization product, such as VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop for Mac. This way, you'd be running Windows alongside Mac OS X. I use VMware Fusion and recommend it. For resource-intensive applications, I boot natively into Windows, but I generally use the virtual machine for convenience sake.

Mini displayport DVI adapter while running windows?

Does this work? I bought one and I can use it on my macbook running os x but I dont get a picture when I run windows xp.
Anyone know how to get it to work? I've been googling and so but no luck so far!

How did you get it to work? I have no problems using my MiniDisplay -> VGA adapter on my external display, but when I use my MiniDisplay -> DVI adapter the screen just flickers

Can I use a USB Windows Keyboard w/my iMac while running Windows in Paralle

I have an iMac with Parallels and Windows 7. There's this one DOS program that I have to use for work, and it requires use of the function keys on a Windows keyboard. I know I can remap the keys on the bluetooth keyboard that came with my iMac, but just for simplicity, can I just go buy a USB Windows keyboard and expect that the function keys will work with this program?
I don't know if the fact that OSX is running behind the scenes might prevent the function keys from being passed along to Windows and the DOS program.
Thanks!

VM will often 'disable' and not function with keyboard function keys as they would normally running Windows natively.
That was one of my reasons for abandoning Fusion. All I could have and use was a "generic" keyboard and mouse, when the MS drivers in Windows I would have a lot of really handy useful keys for doing things.
And I use MS keyboards for years, in OS X and then in Windows.

While running windows updates KB2971850 and KB3000850, error 80070002 appears.

Original post
here. Was told to post in this forum.
Both KB2971850 and KB3000850 fail.
Running Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64 bit.
Steps tried:
- Log on as Administrator
- Stop Windows Update Service and clear SoftwareDistribution\Download and DataStore.
- Perform clean boot by disabling all startup and all non-MS services
- Download and run WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab
- Download standalone installers for each KB update
Absolutely nothing works. Looks like other people have had the same error however one of the above steps always seemed to fix it.
Can anyone help?

Hi Gardnerp2,
You can follow these steps to troubleshoot this kind of issue:
You can't install updates in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2008 R2

Different thread/memory limits when running Java via Windows Service?

My company is developing a Java application that employs a "black-box" interface, which generates several memory-intensive threads. When we run the application via a batch file, the threads seem to run in parallel on a quad-core server. However, when we install the application as a Windows Service on the same server, it appears that we hit a hard limit of 35 threads, and the process pegs out one of the server's CPU's at 100%. Does anyone know why we don't see the parallelism when we run it as a Windows Service? Does anyone know if Windows imposes different memory or thread restrictions on services, as opposed to normal desktop applications?

Why do I get a Track out of memory error while running open loop frequency response?

MatrixX Build 61mx1411: I get a "Track out of memory" error when I run the Open Loop Frequency Response from the MatrixX pull down tools. What can I do to prevent this? We are running on an HP B1000 with 768 MB of RAM under HP-UX 10.2.

In the old days of Mx say Version 5 and prior the user actually selected the amount of memory that would be allocated. Depending on the size of the model etc. you would have to allocate memory. In version 6.0 and going forward there is no need for the user to manually allocate the memory.
Build {rstack=50000,istack=200000,sstack=50000,cstack=500 000}
If this is a command in a script file that you are running and the error is resulting from that then I would try commenting out everything after the letter d in the word build and then starting it back up.
i.e. only use Build
I don't believe that there is a way to manually allocate the initial SystemBuild Stack size.
I believe initially the stack size is set to 10010.
However, one way
you can manually set the initial SystemBuild stack size,is to create a large StateSpace as soon as you start up SystemBuild. This will prevent piece-meal reallocs while using SystemBuild.
You can created a new SuperBlock in SystemBuild and then drop down a StateSpace Block with 199 inputs and 199 Outputs and 1 State and entered ones(200,200)as the StateSpace Matrix without any problems. This would resize this internal stack to at least 40000.
You really should not have to do this but if that helps then you might think about doing this in your startup.ms file you could use SBA or load the file then you could delete the superblock and begin working.
"Bob" gave me this little tid bit.
Please let me know if any of this is of use.

More RAM or memory needed to run Windows-- AutoCAD 2010 on my mac?

Hi all,
I have researched for days and have still not been able to find an answer, last time I was here I was thoroughly impressed with the help, so I'm back!
I have a MacBook 5,1, basic model 2 Ghz, 2GB, 65.7 GB free on my hard drive. I run parallels to use Windows XP to use AutoCAD 2010. I borrowed a friends Mac, a larger "better" model and was instantly jealous at the speed his computer was able to do the same tasks my computer takes when I have Windows/AutoCAD running.
So my question is.. would more RAM help with the speed and overall function of my computer? Would more memory help? A combo of both? Also where is a reliable place to purchase what I may need? The best (and most cost effective) advice for my computer would be GREATLY appreciated!
oh, would upgrading to Snow Leopard help as well? I am currently running just Leopard as far as I can tell (10.5.8). Also would this require me to reinstall all programs on my computer?
Thanks in advance,
Laura

The short answer to your question is a resounding YES! RAM and memory are the same thing, but having more of that would most definitely improve your performance at almost everything.
Upgrading to SL may help a little, but not nearly as much as more RAM. I'm not positive, but I think that model maxes out at 4GB, so that should be your goal. If it's 8GB, even better. The more RAM you have, the better things will be with a memory hungry app like AutoCAD.

If while running windows on parallels...

let's say i get a virus while i'm on windows using parallels. will my mac be affected?

No as viruses are just codes that can destroy the OS they are designed to work on. They won't even know they are on a Mac hardware unless the virus is designed to run through Parallels. If Windows does get a virus the all you need to do is just reinstall Windows or delete the virtual machine.

Memory issues while running a yearly report

Hi,
One of my consultant is trying to run an yearly report which consumes approximately 3 GB of size. But, the memory available at that point is only 2 GB on the server. The report generates a runtime error "SYSTEM_NO_TASK_STORAGE".
But, when I restart the server, all the buffers are cleared and there is 5 GB space after which the report runs to success. The number of program swaps in ST02 are more than 3000. The swap space assigned is 400 MB.
I believe that increasing the swap space can resolve this issue. But, I would like to know any other better solutions for this.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi,
Of course, the best solution would be to add some physical RAM on your server.
Nowadays, I would say that using less than 8 GB RAM for SAP products leeds running into problems.
In my company, we are now going full 64bit with at least 16 GB RAM...
Bythe way 400 MB for the program buffer seems very low to me. On SAP R/3 4.7 we use 1500 MB. But this just slows down the system.
You should check your extended memory setting.

Olivier

Mini-DVI while running windows xp

Ive just recently put windows xp on my system via bootcamp and ive been trying to figure out how to get it to go on an external display, the closest ive gotten is a sideways half of a picture, what should i change on the settings so that its a mirrored image from my macbook screen, My moniter is a 26 inch westinghouse 720p. thanks alot guys

Did you use the Leopard install disk to install the correct windows software. Once you have windows running you insert the disk and it should install the drivers needed to run correctly.

While running Windows 7 with Bootcamp I got a blue screen talking about memmoy. What happens with that trouble?

I have installed win7 on mountain lion 10.8.5 and at the begining it seemed to work good but now in the last 2 times I have stayed using Win7 suddenly i got a blue screen I as I could read, it is about memory failure.
Does anybody can help me with that?
Or maybe someone had the same problem I have fixed it all, please share your tips or trick.
Thank you all the community.

Did you download and install the Windows Support Software?
