Insert the MacOSX DVD. Ignore what Windows wants.
Find a way to shut down or restart, even if you have to do a power button crash shutdown.
To boot from the DVD on the next start up of the Mac, at the sound of the chime, hold and continue to down the 'C' key until you see the grey apple logo. This will be the sign that the DVD is booting the computer.
OR,
On the next start up of the Mac, hold down the Opt/Alt key until the boot loader shows all your bootable options. Chose the MacOSX DVD.
Using the second option of starting up with the boot loader, you might see an available MacOSX to boot from. Maybe you have not hosed the MacOS after all. Choose the MacOSX partition instead to see whether it is corrupted or not. I say to do this because you may not have known that in Windows in the tray area there is a Boot Camp Utility. You could use the utility to select the operating system you want to boot from. If there is no MacOSX to boot from, then yes, it is probably hosed.

    But you can't install XP if you have a new Mac.
    Try running XP in a VM or aquire Windows 7 which is the only one supported now.
    And you will need more like 60GB for Windows 7, so I would skip on 20GB just to be safe.
    20G is a fine minimum for XP, I was not responding to any inquiry about Win 7.

  • Updating Comms 6 GA to U2, do I need to run comm_dssetup.pl again?

    I'm planning on upgrading our Comms 6 server from GA to U2.
    Do I need to run comm_dssetup.pl if I already ran it under Comms 6.0 GA?
    I read [the wiki|http://comm_dssetup.pl] and get the impression that this is required if you are going from a non 6.0 version of comms. Further clarification here or in the wiki would be great.

    Can i run commpkg upgrade and upgrade comm_dssetup.pl and Delegated admin before taking an outage to upgrade for the rest (mail, calendar, convergence and IM) of the components.The first step will be to run ./commpkg upgrade to upgrade dssetup (and only dssetup) and then run the comm_dssetup.pl command. This will result in the Directory Server being restarted after the schema changes have been applied (short outage period assuming everything goes smoothly).
    Once you have upgraded dssetup you can then run ./commpkg upgrade again to upgrade just Delegated Administrator. This will automatically deploy the updated version into the web-container. You will need to restart the web-container after the upgrade process has concluded.
    Are there any side effects from taking delegated admin offfline while the rest of comms is running.Where have you deployed Delegated Administrator? Is it in the same web-container as Convergence and UWC/CE?

  • Need to run "udevadm trigger" again after startx

    I rearranged some keyboard modifiers according to instructions found here:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … etkeycodes
    Everything works except that when I start X11 (with startx), then I have to run "udevadm trigger" again to get the new modifiers working. This is the case for both my laptop and USB keyboards.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Neha.
           Thanks for quik turn around. But I need this z program to run after all changes are done in XK02 because I need to use the changed vendor data in the BDC program. This is the exit which triggers before save, so I couldn't get the changed vendor data from database table to use in z program (BDC).
    Hope I am clear.

  • An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running the application again

    I Have erased the hard drive of my MBP in order to perform a clean reinstall of OS X Mavericks, according to these instructions.
    When I tried to reinstall, my internet connection stopped (was broadcasting via another MBP and the cable from that one got disconnected), so I restarted the erased MBP to try again. Holding command+R, it booted in internet recovery (as the recovery partition was erased along with the rest of the hard drive), but could not connect over the broadcasted WiFi, so I created a bootable USB flash drive according to these instructions on the other MBP.
    This installation went smooth without any hiccups, but due to an oversight I had to do it again the next day.
    I took the same steps, with the same bootable drive (I did not create a new one the first time) but this time I couldn’t get through the prepare to install phase. At the end, where the “about a second remaining” message stays for about 20 minutes, I get the “An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running the application again” message. When I quit the installer (only option at that stage) and return to Disk Utility, the internal drive on which I tried to do the installation is not visible anymore.
    I tried this (after a reboot every time) with a new bootable usb drive with the same download of the OS X Mavericks installer and with a new one, each ending with the same error. The installer was downloaded on an MBP on which Mavericks is also installed, with the same Apple ID. The App Store did not allow me to change Apple ID for the Mavericks download. Can this pose a problem? It did work the first time, though.
    Note that this error occurs at a different stage than the one with the same message due to the wrong date (this discussion amongst others). I also checked the date in terminal and this appears to be correct, when I consider the timezone.
    Here are a few lines from the installer log (omitted similar lines and lines that could contain personal information). The most important line is the last one, indicating the error.

    That last line indicates the error that occurred. (The internal drive on which I try to install Mavericks is called “schijf”, it also already has been called Macintosh HD, with no effect. This time I tried another name during the reformat to see if and when the installer renames the disk. Does it do this, or should I call the disk “Macintosh HD” myself?)
    By now I also got past the internet recovery issues, being able to get the progress bar under the spinning globe and the option to install Lion (not Mavericks, but I suppose that’s because the MBP shipped with Lion). When I choose this option, the installer first spends a few hours downloading additional components. This eventually took less time than first indicated, but still about 4-5 hours. After this, the installation of about 24 minutes starts, but this takes much longer than the indicated 24 minutes, each minute taking about 15 minutes. When it was less than a minute, the internet connection got disconnected (but I don’t suppose it still needed an internet connection at this stage, having downloaded all additional components) and now the “Less than a minute” message has been there the whole night (about 9,5 hours), the last 9 hours with a spinning beachball on the screen after I accidentally clicked somewhere on the screen (nowhere in particular, he shouldn’t do something because of the click. After unplugging the power adapter, the battery icon on the screen wasn’t updated, and the WiFi icon simply disappeared, instead of showing no bars like it should when there’s no connection).
    Does Anyone know how I can fix the error, because I would prefer installing with a bootable drive. Is it worth it to continue waiting on the current, apparently stuck Lion installer to finish or should I force a reboot?
    Can I try using the Recovery Disk assistant (OS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0) to create a recovery disk with the other MBP? I think not, as this might cause trouble with 2 different MBP's using the same license.
    Thanks in advance!

    Since this thread seems to be gaining more speed than the other one i'm working on, i figured i'd add these images to help you all out detailing the exact problem.
    I'm having the same issue and I wanted to provide some info specific to my mac, and some info in general to help with diganosis.
    First, my specs
    Secondly, I am running an aftermarket 500 GB drive.
    Third, not sure if this is realated, but this screen suggests the proress will take 3 minutes, then it abruptly umps to the restart phase after about 1.5 - 2.5 minutes.
    And finally, here is the seeminly unavoidable error message.
    Also, other things I've tried now are
    installing it from the "show package contents area",
    mounting said DMG and trying to install from there.
    installing a package file called "upgradeos.pkg"
    no luck.

  • Mid-2012 MBP lagging with constant colour wheeling at everything. How do I fix it to run quickly/smoothly again?

    I only just got my Mid-2012 13-inch MBP last November, switching over after a long time with PCs. I wasn't expecting any problems with my MBP, as everyone else I know who has one hasn't had any issues. I love it but a couple of days ago, it's become relatively slower than its usual pace. I'm not quite sure what's going on, but as it's still relatively new, it shouldn't be lagging every five seconds with opening an application or switching tabs or typing in Word. I don't do much with my MBP except for surfing the web (Facebooking, etc.), doing homework, and YouTubing. Gifs won't even load properly at the moment. it's becoming frustrating because it's the same problems I faced with PCs that I wasn't expecting from Macs. The colour wheel of doom keeps spinning on my screen and I just want to be able to do whatever to make it all run smoothly and quickly again as it was. (In typing this message alone, the colour wheel popped up and everything lagged considerably for a good minute or so quite a few times.)
    Here's some of the info/specs I got from the About My Mac:
    Processor  2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
    I also have 395.89 GB free out of 499.25 GB, and I've also referred to the Activity Monitor with nothing in particular that really uses a lot of CPU or anything like that. I'm also not sure whether or not to do that Disk Utility thing to repair permissions or whatever it is or if I need to test anything in safe mode.
    Anyhow, thanks so much in advance to anyone who can help me out with this! I really appreciate it

    but a couple of days ago, it's become relatively slower than its usual pace.
    Is there anything significant that occured just before the slowdown issues occured?
    Your machine comes with a boot hard drive, which is subjective to shock if the computer is moved while the computer is turned on. This has a effect of damaging data on the platters where information can't be easily read or sometimes not at all.
    The spinning wheel is indicative of the software waiting for something from the hardware or network, but your using programs that have no use online, so it suggests something is wrong with your boot hard drive.
    If the hard drive has difficulty reading data, there is a mechanism in place to try to read the damaged sectors and move the information to another sectors on the drive, since this takes time you get the spinning beach ball waiting.
    Another possiblity is you might have installed some sort of very restrictive third party anti-virus that has a background check process on everything your doing. For Mac's this is unnecessary as Apple has included their own and the free ClamXav is all you need to run once in awhile to clean/flag Windows files  which their malware doesn't affect a Mac.
    Use the developers uninstaller to remove it and reboot.
    it's becoming frustrating because it's the same problems I faced with PCs
    Given your age and that you had this problem with PC's, I suspect your very harsh on your machines or haven't been educated about how fragile they are and can't be moved while operating.
    To solve your issue my suggestion is to first make a backup of just your users data to a external drive, also to another drive using TimeMachine which will make a copy of your entire system.
    So this way you have at least two copies of your data off the machine, the TimeMachine might fail to restore if it backs up corrupted data. Thus the extra copy of your personal files on another storage drive once the fresh opertaing system and programs are reinstalled.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Next take the machine to the Apple Store and tell them your seeing beachballs on everything your doing. They will replace the hard drive under warranty, ask if you made a backup or not and of course tell them you did with TimeMachine but don't think it's going to reliable because of the issues on the boot drive, tell them  you have a extra copy of your files on a another storage drive.
    Ask them to help you reinstall OS X and Apple programs for you if they can, then all you have to do when you get home is to copy your files from the storage drive. This would ensure any corruption of OS X or programs is eliminated.
    I would buy AppleCare if you haven't done so already, but just remember, warranty/AppleCare only covers factory defects, not user inflicted damage.
    However there is some times where hard drives will fail on their own accord in a few months after purchase, which might be the problem in your case as there is a sudden motion detector and it's supposed to freeze the hard drive to prevent damage to the platters.
    Good Luck

    The problem here is when I run this shell script for the first time the vm goes under reboot, but later it does not reboot.
    And here I have enabled root login, so this should'n be a problem i guess. When I check the services i am not able to see ATD and crond online or offline.
    But at and cron commands are found.
    What is the alternative for chkconfig in unix.

    Please help.

  • Running Boot Camp in Windows 7 with Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse

    NOTE: I was installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 Professional on a 27" iMac mid-2010 with a Processor Speed of 2.93 GHz, a Core i7 Processor Type,  a Quad Core Processor Configuration, 8GB RAM, and a ATI Radeon HD 5750 Graphics Card.  I run Snow Leopard so it is a 64-bit OS.  I have a Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse as well.  In order to install Windows 7 you need a Wired Keyboard and Mouse.  You will also need a Wired Keyboard and Wired Mouse to update Boot Camp.
    Updating Boot Camp Assistant (VERY IMPORTANT)
    First, plug in a wired keyboard and wired mouse.  The Boot Camp Assistant version that came with my iMac was 3.0 so I upgraded it to 3.1 and then to 3.2.  I'm not sure if only the upgrade to 3.1 is necessary, but I took it a step further.  I was told by Apple Tech Support that you first needed to upgrade to version 3.1 before being able to upgrade to 3.2  These upgrades will not be found using Software Update on the Mac.  However, they can be found at http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents
    They also have software updates for 32-bit machines as well and MacBook Pro updates.
    NOTE: Before updating the version of Boot Camp, but after installing Windows 7 and after putting in the Mac OS X Install DVD to run Setup.exe to download the Mac drivers, run Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update for any additional updates.
    Next I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.1 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1336
    I then ran Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update
    Then I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.2 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979
    I then installed Boot Camp 3.2 Update for iMac (early 2011) found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979 but I'm not sure if this was necessary.
    Once Boot Camp 3.2 has been installed I ran Software Update for the Mac again while logged into WIndows 7 to make sure I had all the updates.
    Configuring a Bluetooth device on a Windows-based computer
    (from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952818)
    How to make sure that the Bluetooth service is started (MY COMPUTER WAS ALREADY SET UP TO RUN BLUETOOTH, SO THE NEXT 8 STEPS COULD BE OPTIONAL)
    Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for Services. To do this, follow these steps.
    Windows Vista or Windows 7Windows XP
    Click Start, and then click Run.
    Copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Open box, and then press ENTER:services.msc
    Click Start , copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Start Searchbox, and then press ENTER:services.msc
    In the Programs list, click Services.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
    Double-click the Bluetooth Support service.
    If the Bluetooth Support service is stopped, click Start.
    On the Startup type list, click Automatic.
    Click the Log On tab.
    Click Local System account.
    Click OK.
    If you prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
    How to connect the Bluetooth device to the computer
    1. First off, you need to go into Mac OS and remove the keyboard and mouse from your Bluetooth settings entirely. You'll add them back in later (see 9) below).
    2. Boot into Windows using a USB connected Mouse and Keyboard.
    3. Go to Control Panel – Hardware and Sound – Device and Printers – Add a Device
    4. Turn on the Mouse to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer
    5. Run 3.) again except select the keyboard.
    6. Turn on the Keyboard to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer by typing in the 8 digit number into the wireless keyboard and hit ENTER/RETURN.
    7. To see if everything was added go to Devices and Printers and see if they were added to the list.
    8. Shutdown Windows 7 and Restart using Mac OSX.  If you adjusted the Boot Camp settings while in Windows 7 you will see a Boot Camp icon in the system tray located at the bottom right of the screen.  From here you can logoff and reboot in Mac OSX.  If you don't, do a RESTART and hold the Option key down after hearing the GONG and select the Mac HD option while logging in.  Now it's time to add back the wireless mouse and keyboard to be recognized by your Mac.
    9. Go to System Preferences – Internet and Wireless – Bluetooth
    10. Hit the “+” button to launch the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to find the devices sending out the signal.
    11. Highlight the device found and hit “Continue”
    12. Do this for both the keyboard and mouse.  You will be prompted to type in the 8 digit code into the wireless keyboard in order to pair it with your computer.
    13. Click on the pinwheel next to the “-“ sign to rename the wireless devices if you'd like.
    I then logged back into Windows 7 to see if the mouse and keyboard were functional and had no problems.  For some reason, Windows has problems pairing bluetooth devices that are already paired under a Mac OSX.  Many people have updated Boot Camp, yet still were not able to pair their wireless devices because they didn't break the Bluetooth connection on the Mac side first. So both steps are necessary (1) Updating to at least Boot Camp 3.1 if not 3.2 and (2) Deleting the Wireless mouse and keyboard link while running Mac OSX before trying to pair them in a Windows OS.

    I found the answers by trial and errors.
    @  is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 2
    #   is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 3
    (without shift or caps lock)
    These two signs are critical and I fail to understand why this information is not readily available from the help function or from the Apple support.

  • I need to run internet explorer how do i begin?

    i have been fooling around trying to get this military website to work properly with no luck. after contact the help line for the website they told me it is only compatible with internet explorer. researching boot camp i purchased an external hardrive to partition for windows under the impression that that was one of the reasons why. i do not have a windows disk and i need to run IE. i tryed masking safari in the develop toolbar but IE isnt highlighted therefore i cant attemp that way. please help....
    Matt

    I don't know if this still works with the new version if Safari but it's worth a try.
    Launch Safari. From the Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari. From the drop down menu click Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now from the Safari menu bar again, click Develop > User Agent
    Try IE 7, 8, or 9.

  • How much RAM do I need to run windows through paralells sucessfully/smoothly?

    I have a MacBook with 2 gb of memory and need to run a program for school that is only available through windows. The program requires 128 mb ram to run. What would be the system requirements necessary to run windows through paralells and then this program on top of it. Do I have what it takes? or is my MacBook able to be upgraded to meet those requirements?

    You didn't mention which version of Windows the program requires, or which MacBook Pro model you have.
    I have successfully run Windows Microsoft Office 2010 and other older Windows applications under both XP and WIndows 7 with Parallels 5 in 2Gb of total RAM on my mid 2007 MacBook 2,1 with integrated GMA 950 video on both Mac OS X 10.5.8 'Leopard' (though Win 7 is not 'officially supported') and 10.6.6 'Snow Leopard'
    But performance is, uh, 'limited', especially for processor-intensive applications like graphics programs.
    My Core2Duo 2.16Ghz processor often runs at 100% of one processor, so the fan is often running at high speed all the time Windows is running. It is still possible to run Mac applications like Mail and Safari at the same time.
    Since I upgraded to 4Gb RAM (although by design, my Mac 2,1 system only recognizes 3Gb) Windows 7 runs a bit better, though still at a slower speed than the same program with Windows 7 under Boot Camp where it has access to the full 3Gb.
    I do own a copy of Parallels 6, purported to provide some performance gains, but I have not yet installed it, because I doubt that my current configuration will provide enough performance gains to warrant the time and trouble to install Parallels 6 and then have to once again deal with Microsoft Support over yet another 'reinstallation' of my perfectly legitimate, legal copy of Windows 7 Home Premium.
    If you don't need simultaneous access to both Windows and Mac applications, Boot Camp will likely give you adequate performance with XP in 2Gb.  RAM memory upgrades are certainly available from Apple and reliable vendors such as Other World Computing (www.macsales.com) where I've purchased several of my RAM and hard drive upgrades for a MacBook and a MacBook Pro.
