Parallels went wrong

Hello,
I installed Parallels and windows 7 in my Mac Book but was not satisfied with the result, so I decided to switch to bootcamp but now I simply cannot create a partition (I tried everything including Idefrag).
When I unistalled Parallels a lot of "windows stuff" remained like files and apps that were not automatically deleted...
I'm thinking about restoring my Macbook to factory settings and then use time machine to get my stuff back and then trying to bootcamp again.
Does anyone knows if its worth trying?
Also, when I restore through time machine will it bring back all this junk that stayed on my computer?
Thanks
Veronica

OK, max performance can only be attained with BC. Virtualization costs in terms of performance and in the amount of RAM for both systems. So lets concentrate on getting the Mac healthy.
Boot in Recovery Mode by holding down Command R before the startup chime. Go past the languages screen if any pops up, use Disk Repair (bottom option). On that instance of Disk Utility, select the drive and do a Repair Disk. Then select the Macintosh HD volume underneath and repeat the Repair Disk. In both cases, if you get any errors, redo until no errors come up. Holler back if that is unattainable. Then do a Repair Disk Permissions on the Macintosh HD volume for good measure.
Now select the drive and click on the Partition tab. You should have a single partition spanning the entire drive. If not, holler back and describe what you have.
If you need to use the Mac to write back, quit (twice) and restart normally.
BTW, how much RAM does your Mac have?

    by reset option do you mean the DFU restore? worked for me, have you tried that?
    if not - hold the lock and home button until the power down bar comes up. then hold the lock button for ten seconds - next continue to hold the lock button and press the home button for ten seconds - next release the lock button and hold the home button for 10 seconds. this should be done with the phone tethered. If done right and your itunes is configured as such, the phone will reload the drivers and start up itunes, and then prompt for a restore/update.

  • What went wrong ?

    Dear all,
    I`m trying to figure out what went wrong with my database.
    During the higher load the users were suddenly getting DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR, no matter what they wanted to do. When checking system I found many messages like:
    Database error -1000 at OPC access to table REPOLOAD
    > POS(1) Too many lock requests
    > Include ??? line 0000.
    Run-time error "DBIF_REPO_SQL_ERROR" occurred
    Run-time error "DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR" occurred
    Database error -1000 at OPC

    Database error -1000 at OPC
    > POS(1) Too many lock requests
    Database error -1000 at EXE
    > POS(1) Too many lock requests
    According to documentation I found error -1000:
    1000: Too many lock requests
    Explanation
    There are too many locks or lock requests.

    You can try to repeat the SQL statement at a later time or cancel the transaction. If this situation occurs frequently, then the MAXLOCKS general database parameter is too small and should be increased
    Database kernel showed following messages:

    So do you think it is just about MAXLOCKS parameter or also with catalog cache sizing could be wrong ?

    Hi there,
    it's really just about the MAXLOCKS setting.
    As you seem the "Catalog update failure"-message also points out error no. -1000.
    It's the same "too many lock requests" error as before.
    Having a MAXLOCKS value of 1.000.000 or even 3.000.000 is not unusual with MaxDB!

  • My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

    My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

    I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that  are causing the problem.
    I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

  • Sorry, something went wrong - Open Office File from Search Results Page with Office Web Apps

    Hi,
    I'm getting "Sorry, something went wrong" error when I'm trying to open any office document from inside Search Results Page with Office Web Apps, the same error is appearing in the document preview as well.
    The error in SharePoint logs says that the file cannot be found.
    Please note that this error is coming only when the "Filename" of the document is not written in English (in my case its written with Arabic characters).
    If I try to open it from the document library, its opening properly with no errors.
    The only difference between two URLs (document URL in Search Results and in Document Library) is the value for "sourcedoc" attribute;
    In the case of Search Results page, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is kept as is with Arabic characters.
    While in the Document Library, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is converted into different characters (something like: "B9%D9%85%D9%8").
    Anybody have an idea on how to overcome this issue, implement a workaround or modify the "sourcedoc" behavior?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Hamza AlSughier

    Dear Wendy,
    Thanks for your efforts, I already tried your last suggestion before, but this didn't solve my problem.
    Actually my end users are accessing this portal using ADFS and HTTPS.
    Finally I got this solved, I have done below to get my overall solution working perfectly:
    - First I have configured Windows Authentication and ADFS Authentication on the same zone which is the default zone.
    - The issue when opening office documents with Arabic file name has disappeared as a result of first change.
    - Then I have faced an issue where we are not able to crawl content under Default zone, however we have to do so, after too many efforts, I found that its related to the Load-balancer/proxy, I have made the crawler server
    to crawl himself (http://CrawlServerName:PortNumber).
    - Also a change on Alternate Access Mapping was needed, I have set one of the extended zones (which is running Windows Authentication only) as Internal URL for the Default Zone, and this is was the URL I used for Crawling.
    I have configured Server Name Mappings to make sure we got proper URLs in Search Results.
    - Then we faced another issue, which is Authentication selection on login page (How to bypass this page, and authenticate using ADFS auto), I used this solution (Set Custom Sign In Page):
    http://0ut0ftheb0x.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/skip-the-authentication-selection-page-at-_logindefault-aspx-in-a-mixed-authentication-environment/.
    - I faced one more issue as a result of above workaround; Sign Out functionality wasn't working well; users get logged in automatically whenever I click on Sign Out. I solved this by modifying the "Sign Out" Control under _layouts;
    I made it to redirect users to ADFS Sign Out Page instead of SharePoint Sign Out Page (I know its not recommended, but I don't have any other option).

  • After the latest update to Photoshop 2014, something went wrong and started spray-like black oil on canvas. I have deadline with cover. Can you help me please?

    How do I undo whatever went wrong after installing the latest update to Photoshop 2014 and suddenly when I tried to paint or touch up my illustration (book cover I'd drawn and painted, then scanned in and continued painting, changing. It's mostly done but I needed to send it like yesterday!!) OR touch up a photograph, black-like oily smudge-like substance sprayed around the point of the brush. I tried to fix by resetting but really didn't know what to do and probably made it worse. However, the problem happened after I updated the Photoshop Creative Cloud 2014 on my desktop 8.1 Windows and after a Tech helped update the regular CC Photoshop on my laptop 2007, 64 bit Windows to 2014. He promised to call back after giving it time to install but didn't for whatever reason on Friday. That happened to go up to the same update I did on my Windows 8.1 Windows. I have this deadline and really stressed. COULD IT BE THE UPDATE OR BOTH. REGARDLESS, CAN SOME EXPERT HELP ME UNDO WHATEVER THE UPDATE AND/OR I DID? I'm a God-gifted artist but only started using Photoshop CC, then updated to 2014--which, again, I like even better--when I began my monthly membership January or February 2014, although I had paid version 2002 and updated to paid version 2004 (ownership, not paid subscription like now). I've learned so much, including transforming, moving, stretching, with layers--all in the painting area with my illustrations--a little touch ups with photography.  MY EMAIL IS: [email protected] I really appreciate any help. This needs to be resolved today, the latest tomorrow--I could call tomorrow, however. I was chatting with a Tech support but lost him about an hour or less back. I have the case number and name and gave him my contact number, but they won't be in until tomorrow. He's supposed to give info and escalate the case. I really need an answer--if possible, today. It may require going back to before installing the latest update. THANK YOU KINDLY. Glena Jessee-King

  • Sharepoint 2013 foundation central admin "something went wrong"

    I recently installed SP1 (the bad version before it was pulled) on my SharePoint 2013 foundation server. I ran psconfig and made sure my databases were up to date after SP1. I checked central admin after psconfig and everything was working and good to
    go. I have little need to access it on a regular basis, so after the install I haven't attempted to access central admin for approximately a month. As the updated SP1 just hit a few days ago I attempted to pop into CA to does some work on the site in preparation,
    and I received the sorry something went wrong message. I thought it may be an issue due to the bad version of sp1 that was installed and/or high ram utilization. As this is a standalone box in production I could not reboot easily. I was finally able to do
    the install last night, and it appears the problem is still ongoing. The site has been in production for about 6 months now, I have never had any issues hitting CA previously. SharePoint is running as a VM, and we have decked the specs out for it. We are allocating
    4 cores and 24gb of ram to the site, and we are not seeing anything close to max resource utilization on the hypervisor or on SharePoint. I checked the correlation ID that SharePoint provides in the ULS logs and the only thing close to an error I get is a
    message "cannot find site lookup info for request uri
    http://localhost:<port binding>/." this is followed by "Application error when access /, Error=Exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' was thrown.". I'm exporting a copy of the vhd to experiment on in a test environment now, so
    I will update this if I get more info. I don't think this was caused by SP1 as I was able to hit the CA page after doing the upgrade, but other than standard users interacting with the site since SP1, there have been no changes from an administration perspective.
    I am the only one who touches the site here so I know changes weren't made without my knowledge. Anyone have a clue what could be causing this?

    I see, good to know. IT couldn't have been someone visiting the CA page turning it on, as its an IIS only setting. I cant say that no one ever would have changed the settings, but generally I am the administrator for this server and my colleagues don't touch
    it.
    When I say default content pages I mean my SharePoint site collection pages. The problem I was having when I started this thread was about CA, but I also noticed on my site collection that FBA is turned on as well. When I turn this off a few things
    happen, generally I get a message around authorization saying that the site collection admin or farm admin cannot view the page. On the few occasions I am able to login, the page content often renders without any css, so its just plain text on the page, or
    it places the text in random locations around the page. Generally when I try to navigate though I just get an access denied message shortly therafter. Keep in mind I have done absolutely no setup at all around FBA, so I'm not sure why turning off an authentication
    method that has not been configured at all would not allow me to access my site pages.

  • Workflows completes but goes to "Sorry something went wrong" page

    SharePoint Version: 2013
    Workflow Version: 2010
    My Title: Junior SharePoint Administrator
    I have been working weeks on a project to use workflows for a business process. It is as simple as setting variables and sending email to people.
    I have successfully created a site workflow and published it. When I start the workflow, it starts fine but then show me this (very annoying and always unhelpful) error --> Sorry,
    something went wrong. An unexpected error has occurred.
    Funny thing, the workflow stills completes fine and I get the email notification I created in the workflow! No errors messages in the workflow history either - completely clean.
    Is there any reason for this? I am concerned since it will be used by a large group of people monthly and this is a huge "NO" for UX experience and usability...
    I have tried linking the Correlation ID to anything and looking through server logs. I have got nothing.
    Help please? :)

    get the time that the error occurs, and recheck the log file that during this time, whether there is related information.
    what's your workflow do? what's the result by using other user account to start the workflow.

I try to restore it and then it says something went wrong and it won't work. So I've been without my phone for a couple days now. It gives me error code (29).

  • Office 2013 - Something went wrong (no kidding)

    New x64 machine running Office Home & Business 2013 x86 OEM.
    Originally, everything was running fine. Installed fine, set up fine, and ran fine. Inexplicibally, user calls stating when running ANY office app, it states "Something went wrong" and would not open (computer was only a few days old, no other
    mods/installations).
    Tried:
    Online Quick Repair (same error)
    Online Full Repar (same error)
    Removal of product via KB2739501 (removed fine, now won't install)
    Now product is removed. Ran FixIt KB2739501 twice and even removed Office folders in programs dir. When attempting to run ClickToRun installer, i get "Something went wrong". Really?
    Tried x86 and x64 ClickToRun, no dice. Currently downloading the insanely massive offiline installer (because for some reason MS bundled x86 and x64 together... totally bright), but don't have any faith. User has been without Office apps for days. Scouring
    net notes MS has a recognized issue with the installer process and licensing, but various fixes that worked for others, doesn't work here.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    The first step I suggest is to start Office Apps in Safe Mode, check if the crash will happen.
    Let's take Outlook for example:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
    If the issue persists in Safe Mode, please go to the Event Viewer, you may find out more information about why the Office apps crashed.
    Press Win + R and type "eventvwr" in the blank box, then press Enter.
    You may learn from http://www.msoutlook.info/question/317
    If now you can't install Office properly, please refer to the KB below:

  • I was updating my iphone in itunes, then it said the update went wrong and now does not recognize the phone. Says that it is an unknown iphone and I must restore the phone. How can I get it back without deleting all of my stuff?

    I was updating my phone in itunes and the "update went wrong" and now the phone is not recognized by itunes. I unattatched the phone and it wont turn on or off, just shows a picture of the itunes symbol and a usb cord. In itunes it says that it is an unknown iphone and is in recovery mode so I need to restore the phone. If I restore the phone I loose all my pictures, which I dont want to do...and my contacts. Is there any way around this, so I can get my phone back to normal without wiping it all out? Thanks

    To be more clear:
    Was you phone hacked/jailbroken BEFORE you hooked it up?
