Problem with iWeb Quicktime page using Boot Camp Windows XP

I used iWeb '08 to create a one-page web site with a short QuickTime movie (.mov file). The movie plays fine in Mac OS X Safari. I have a Windows XP Boot Camp partition, and when I boot into Windows and load the web page using Internet Explorer, the movie will not play. It gives a plug-in error and the browser crashes. The same thing happens with Windows Safari. However, the movie plays fine using Windows Firefox.
Is this an iWeb problem or Boot Camp problem? I don't have access to a straight Windows PC. An suggestions will be appreciated. The URL for the web page is:

The problem was a setting in QuickTime. I enabled "Safe Mode" in the Advanced tab of QuickTime Preferences, which did the trick.

Weird problem trying to install XP using Boot Camp 3.0.1

Hi everyone, first post here.
I have been trying to install XP in my Mac Pro using Boot Camp and a very strange thing happened. I created the partition allright, I inserted my Windows XP cd, hit install, the computer restarted and that´s when it froze. What actually happened is that it got to the gray screen stage, the apple appeared on screen, and then the apple symbol started to shuffle between a "forbidden" symbol and an icon of a folder with a question mark on it.
I rebooted, and held alt key. It found the mac hd (from which it boots just fine if I selected) and my windows cd. If I select the windows cd, I get again the apple symbol and after some time it´s start to shuffle again between the three icons. I have tried to delete the partition, re-did all the steps and every time happens the exact same thing.
I have looked through many threads reporting problems with boot camp, but I haven´t found one that describes this specific problem. If there is such, please point me to it. Otherwise, anyone has any ideas?
Thank you very much for your help.

No, I did not get a solve. Actually, my problem worsened. I tried it again, but this time the computer wouldn´t detect my alu keyboard, hence I couldn´t select a drive to tell the bloody thing where to boot from. That is weird, because at the time I opened this thread it did work. I actually had to borrow a wired keyboard so I could hit alt and get it to work.
At the moment I am not so keen on trying it again......

How to install Windows 7 on MacBook with Tiger + Leopard upgrade using Boot Camp

Hi,
I've had Vista installed on a separate partition on my MacBook for a while, but wanted to upgrade to Windows 7. I've completely wiped the HDD, re-installed Tiger, upgraded to Leopard and installed Windows 7 using boot camp from within OSX. However, I now can't boot back into OSX - I believe it's because I don't have the latest version of Boot Camp within Windows 7 (it doesn't appear on the task bar), but I also don't have a full copy of Leopard, only the upgrade disk.
Is there any way to (a) boot back into OSX (I've tried holding down the option key and this doesn't work) and (b) installing a version of Boot Camp that will enable me to switch between both operating systems as I was when Vista was installed & without having to purchase the full copy of Leopard?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Elliot.

Try to boot from the 10.4 disk then and "Repair Disk". If you can, then try booting from the 10.5 disk and do the same.
Have you tried holding down the C key also when trying to boot from the Install disks? It could take 30 seconds to a minute or more for the C key/Option key reboots. The Mac DVD HAS to be the OS installer disk not the applications installer, etc,. Sorry if I keep bringing this up.
You have to keep holding it down the whole time it boots, either it will bypass it and reboot into Windows or it should get to the boot loader window with at least Windows showing up.
If you can still boot into Windows with no problems then Windows SHOULD show up in the boot loader window. (C key/Option key) It's hardware related, it's the computers manual way of looking for a bootable OS if there's no OS installed yet.
Don't forget to disconnect any USB devices until you get it fixed.
Also try to boot from the Windows installer disk and "Repair Windows" and see what happens.
Other then your DVD drive may be on it's last legs, I can't really think of any reason you can't boot from the Mac DVD's. All the other post's I searched for eventually got the DVD boot working, even 10.6 and 10.7 are having that issue, tho rarely.

Hi, ...........inserting the Leopard disk once in Windows to install boot camp and it says that the version on the DVD is only compatible with XP SP2 or Vista.................
Don't run the installer this time, if a window pops up to "Run" or "Open", just open it. If it doesn't open the DVD and look for the BootCamp.exe. Right click on the .exe (or whatever it's called) and select the trouble shoot compatibility mode and select Vista. Yes, I know you have W7. See if that works.
It may have buggered the Mac OS side so you may have to get DiskWarrior (worked for some) or the like in order to fix it. It would definitely be useful in the future.

Two problems with iWeb welcome page

After some obvious struggling I was able to create a working welcome page with links to my homepages. I have two questions regarding the page:
1. First, the page does not fit the full screen when seen in Safari. It seats too small in the middle of a white background.
2. Second, more troubling, the page cannot be forwarded to my domain since the address:
///Volumes/frasecco8/Web/Sites/iWeb/Welcome%20page/Welcome.html, is not recognized by the domain.
What can I do about these two problems?
I feel I am very close to having a working website, with links, pictures, etc. but I am no quite there yet.
Thanks for any suggestion, advice.

1) In iWeb, click on the inspector button (the blue cirle with an i) select the page tab. From there you can adjust the height and width of the page, as well as background colors. Keep in mind that screen sizes vary widely; try to choose a size that will work well on both smaller and larger screens.
2) I presume you mean that you are publishing to .mac but have a purchased domain name and want to forward from your purchased domain name to your .mac site? In that case the problem is that you are using the wrong url for forwarding. Try entering http://web.mac.com/frasecco8.
If that doesn't work, then try:
http://web.mac.com/frasecco8/iWeb/Welcome%20page/
I hope this helps.

Problema with my mac partition on boot camp that reach space limit

How I can delete file from my mac partition that doesn't allow me to open it?

The Windows side has a red-only HFS+ driver. You cannot delete files on the OS X side, when booted in Windows.
First suggestion would be to empty trash when booted in OS X.
You can use OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support as a worst-case scenario, if necessary.

Wireless issues with MacBook Pro i5 in Boot Camp Windows 7 x64

I have a 2010 Macbook Pro i5 15''. I'm usually connecting to the 802.11n 5Ghz wireless network of my Time Capsule when running OS X, which works absolutely fine. When running Windows 7 x64 in Boot Camp though, this network can't be found and I have to connect to my secondary 802.11g network of an AirPort Express. Even this network connection usually dies after a few minutes of intensive use though (copying files, playing online games; it's fine with low activity like web surfing). It still appears connected normally, but no data is being transmitted. I have to reset the wireless adapter to get it to work again. The same network works fine for any OS X device.
The Windows drivers for the Broadcom chip in this machine seem really flaky. Anybody else have these problems or maybe a solution?

Yes, sorry, the Boot Camp area would have been a better place to ask. After some more googling I found a helpful thread though, which led me to download this driver package:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?swItem= ob-80585-1&lang=en&cc=us&idx=3&mode=4&
From it I installed the driver called "Broadcom 43225 802.11b/g/n", and presto, I can finally use my 802.11n network under Windows. Hope that's helping other people that may have this problem.

Thanks & regards.
Srikanth

Hi Srikanth,
In the second page you can insert a command to set it to goto page 3,and an additional event in the command (only after the end of main window).
As soon as the main window ends in the second page...u will get the third and rest of the pages.
Keep the goto next page in PAge 1 as Page2
and in Page 2 as Page 2.

Printing problem with Konica Minolta BizHub282 using RDP on Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I have an office setup as follows: Local office IP adress scheme 192.168.201.x. There is a Konica Minolta BizHub 282 printer connected to the 192.168.201.x network as well as around 10 workstations running Windows 7. There are also about
10 additional teleworkers WHO DO NOT NEED print access to the Minolta 282. All of their data is on a cloud server. I have them setup to first connect to the cloud server using a RRAS PPTP VPN and then to start an RDP session to the separate
RDP server. The Konica Minolta works ??okay?? with the easy print services and until now, we have just dealt with the lack of features and the occasional print job that goes crazy and prints out 400 blank pages (btw, this is usually on Excel) or a job
that cuts off the margins even when you have it set to "fit to page" (this usually happens in Adobe.) When I originally set this up, I tried loading the native Konica drivers on the server, but there was no joy because I couldn't get it to
work using the native drivers. The problem at hand is a feature called "account track." This feature authenticates your print job by using an account code. If there is no code, the job just disappears. When I load the native
Konica driver, the ability to turn on this feature is greyed out (see below):
When I use easy print, the codes seem to go through, but as I mentioned earlier, sometimes the print job just goes insane. After researching this, it seems to me that there are two ways to overcome this if we can't turn off the account track feature:
1) Overcome the driver problem. I've tried both of their current drivers without success: VXL and Visual Postscript. When I login to RDP, the (redirected) Konica 282 printer is listed, but when I try to print, it fails due to the missing account track code.
I'm hoping that there is a registry hack to turn this feature on by default with the code or a driver version that works with RDP. They have a WHQL driver available, but it didn't work any better. Is there a way to report this issue to the WHQL labs? Maybe
I can light a fire under Konica's rear end and motivate them to fix the driver.
2) I saw one discussion where the guy installed the printer out in the clouds as a local printer. He seemed to have a site-to-site VPN, not a client-to-site VPN, so this worked. Is there a way to do something similar when the customer connects to the
VPN through standard "connect to workplace" setup? I tried pinging the Konica 282 from the server while logged into the VPN, but the printer could not be found.
3) I considered setting it up as a google cloud print prnter, but that would require everyone to setup a google account and add a layer of complexity.
Anyone else run into this and have a solution? If not, does anyone have any ideas on a solution or workaround?
Thanks,
Jeffery Smith

Hi Jeffery,
Thank you for your comment.
Yeah, you can use universal print driver by configuring Remote Desktop Easy print on RDS Server. Install the driver on RDS server. Now to configure Easy print you need to have minimum client RDP 6.1(But suggest you to install RDP 8.1), .Net Framework 3.5 or
above and RDSH role.
Also under GPO setting need to check below settings.
Do not allow client print redirection: Disable
Use Terminal Service Easy print printer driver first: Enable
Computer Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer redirection
For more information, you can refer below articles.

Using Boot Camp to install Windows XP: problems with display going blank

I have a new Mac mini (early 2009) connected to an older NEC MultiSync LCD (VGA only) display through a KVM.
I initially used the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to make the display connection.
All worked fine with Mac OS X, but when I attempted to use Boot Camp to install Windows XP (Home), the display would go blank with the display saying "no signal" at some point during the install and I couldn't get the mini's display back without power cycling the mini. Numerous attempts at removing the Boot Camp partition, re-partitioning, and retrying resulted in nothing but frustration. I typically had to force the mini to boot from the OS X install DVD or Mac partition to make the mini usable again.
I have used my LCD display and KVM combination with a variety of computers running a variety of operating systems, including older Mac minis running both Mac OS X and XP, with no problems. And I intend to keep using it, so I wasn't going to assume the problem was there!
After noting that Apple had already released a [firmware update|http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mini_DisplayPort_to_VGA_FirmwareUpdate] for this adapter to address "[possible intermittent flickering and compatibility issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3492]", I double checked that it was up to date--and it was. But, it made me suspicious that this adapter might have some more problems and be the source of the troubles I was experiencing.
So, I got an Apple Mini-DVI to VGA adapter and tried that.
No more display problems! Everything works fine with Mac OS X. Windows XP installed without so much as a flicker, and it works smoothly with my setup.
I'm curious if I'm the only one who was affected by this problem?

Restart your Mac while holding down the Alt/Option-key until you get to the Boot Selection Screen.
Choose to boot OSX.
Use the BootCamp Assistant to remove the Windows partition.
Go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and rest the default to be your OSX volume.
Reboot your Mac again.
Follow the instructions from here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173 and use the BootCamp Assistant again to install Windows 7

No. There is no other location. Be patient. Read the posts in the Bootcamp Forum. There are hundreds of posts about your issue and what to do. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

MacBook Pro 8,1 – Intel Core i5 – 2.23 GHz (early 2011) New with OSX 10.6 – current on all updates.
I successfully installed rEFit. I used Boot Camp to install Win 7. All was great.
Then installed debian 6. Somehow after the debian install and restart (I know this sounds crazy) but I am now reduced to Win 7 only. rEFit is not present when rebooting nor is OSX or debian. Further, I am unable to force the install DVD to launch when rebooting, by holding C, D or F8. The Option key brings me to the grey screen with a padlock. I have attempted the root and local pw- no go. Restart holding D takes me to the windows boot manager. I have attempted several options within the Advanced Options; including – Repair Your computer, safe mode and “last known good config,” All of which did nothing.
I can see all my OSX files within win7. I tried to install the OSX within windows. Ya right, that did nothing..
I only desire to get back to OSX...
What are my options??

Yes, you royally hosed up your machine.
You should first try to get your files off, any way you can to a external drive.
Your going to need to hold c and boot from the disk that came with your computer and a couple of screens in under the menu is a option for Disk Utility.
Select your drive and Erase with Security Option Zero, format the drive HFS+ Journaled and when that's finished (about a hour or so) then quit and install OS X from the installer.
I hope this works, but I suspect it won't. Others have hosed their machines trying to use a Linux disk without proper partition formatting too.
Another option might be to use another Mac to c boot off the Snow Leopard disk and install OS X onto a external drive, take that to the problem Mac and try holding option and booting off of it to erase your internal drive.
You could replace the drive.

There was someone else around here who hosed their Mac with a Linux disk too. Try to find it.

A lot of problems after installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on a Mac Book

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: +"This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?"+ When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: There are way too many problems, and I have a feeling there will be a lot more later on. Help....

Cinema DIsplay sleeps when I use Boot Camp with Radeon 5870 through DVI connection

I just created a bootcamp partition on my Mac Pro (1,1) with Radeon 5870 and XP Professional so I can play Train Simulator 2012 with maxed out settings. Well after hours of installing Windows XP and updating it (via Parallels so I could do other things while waiitng for Windows) I got Train Simulator 2012 installed, Windows XP Professional fully upto date and reboot to bootcamp. I see the Windows screen and then my monitor goes to sleep (best guess). I am using an Apple Cinema Display 20" and is of course connected to the DVI port. One guess (and I hope I am totally wrong about this) is I think I remember reading the DVI port id display 3 not 1. I hope this isn't the problem (requiring me to buy a $40 Mini Display port for DVI adapter.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? I was so looking forward to playing Train Simulator with maxed out graphics via Boot Camp with the Radeon 5870 1GB. Don't get me started as to why my line out is not being detected by XP Pro.
I also have the latest Bootcamp drivers for XP (3.2).

Never used XP and on Mac Pro I wanted to use all 4-cores and more than 1.9GB RAM but often it seems that in the past and with Fusion anyway you would need to install Windows updates and drivers natively not thru or in the VM.

Problems installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp

I have a brand new MBP Retina laptop (late 2013) with 256GB SSD. Today I tried to use Bootcamp Assistant to partition the SSD and install Windows 7 64 bit OS.
My first attempt was using a licensed Windows 7 64 bit installation DVD and my OWC external optical drive which is recognized in Finder:
I started Boot Camp Assistant, selected the boxes to download latest Windows Support Software from Apple and to Install Windows 7. I was asked to specify the size for the Windows partition and hit continue. The process was moving along, the computer restarted and then I got a black screen with a blinking white cursor (like a command line prompt) in the upper left corner of the screen and a message to press any key to reboot. Pressing any key did nothing.
As far as I could tell, the Support Software files that were on the USB drive did get installed prior to the first reboot of the system that happens after you allocate the size for the partition. After the first reboot I never got the Windows installer though, just the hanging black screen/cursor mentioned above.
I'm wondering if, after creating the partition and restarting, my computer can't see my external optical drive even though it does show up in Finder when booted to OSX because it was not reading the Win7 Install DVD at all.
While on the phone with Apple Senior Tech Support we rebooted several times holding down the Alt/Option key. The boot options were the OSX, Recovery, Windows, and EFI Boot. Choosing Windows resulted in the trackpad locking up and it just hung there. I ended up reverting the SSD back to a single partition for now.
After some discussion on the Apple forum I tried creating an ISO file from the Win7 64 bit DVD using ImgBurn software that I have installed on my Windows PC and ImgBurn indicated it had created a bootable ISO file. I copied the ISO file to the downloads folder on the MBP, plugged the empty USB drive into the MBP and tried Boot Camp Assistant again:
Choosing the appropriate option for use with an ISO file on a USB drive Boot Camp Assistant proceed to again create the partition, asked me to size it, and then it proceeded (over approximately an hour and a half) to work on copying the ISO file to the USB drive and downloaded the Support Software to the USB drive.
After the restart I got another black screen, cursor, and the messages, "No bootable device/drive found", "Press any key to reboot". Again pressing any key did not do anything. I reverted back to a single partition again, rebooted to OSX and gave up for the night.
Bottom line in either scenario is that I never get to the Windows installer screens to even attempt to install Windows on the new partition.
QUESTIONS:
I think in my situation it doesn't appear that ImgBurn created a bootable ISO file from my Win7 install DVD. The Apple Bootcamp Setup guide refers to downloading the ISO image from Microsoft but I couldn't find anything that I would be comfortable downloading.
I'd rather use my installation DVD for Windows but why isn't that process of reading the DVD from the external drive working after the restart?
Can the ISO file and Windows Support Software live on the same USB drive during installation and does the support software get installed automatically by boot camp assistant?
What am I doing wrong here? This shouldn't be this hard especially when I own a valid copy of Windows.
This is VERY frustrating. Any help or referrals to proper instruction is very much appreciated.

I was able to successfully complete the installation of Windows 7 Home Premium using Boot Camp. Turns out the problem was the Windows 7 ISO image I was initially trying to use. I called Microsoft tech support and they sent me a link (see below) from which I downloaded the Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit ISO image. After downloading the ISO image and restarting Boot Camp Assistant the process of Boot Camp preparing and transferring the ISO image and Windows Support software to the USB drive took about 45 minutes and then everything went smoothly from there. The only thing I encountered was when I was asked what drive to install Windows on I got a message that it couldn't install on the Boot Camp drive because it needed to be in NTFS format. I clicked on the format button and then the process continued. After Windows installed the Windows Support Software from Apple started to install automatically. So far it is working well.

Problems installing Windows XP Pro using Boot Camp

I bought a MacBook this week for the purpose of running Windows XP off a partition. I ran the Boot Camp Assistant, partitioning 15 gig of my 160 gig hard drive for the Windows OS. Boot Camp prompted me to insert the Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 3 installation disc I'm using, so I did. I followed the Boot Camp instructions exactly, and the installation seemed to be on its merry way ... until the screen indicated there were 33 minutes left.
With 33 minutes to go, the screen seemed to freeze (except that I could move the cursor/mouse) but the installation never advanced. I waited about an hour and it was the same, so I held the power button down and restarted the computer. It booted in Windows and tried to resume installation with 39 minutes to go. When it got to 33, it hung again.
I've noticed other people having problems with this, but no solutions. Any ideas, folks?
I want to be able to boot into Windows XP, not use Parallels or any other program.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your OS is dirty. Odd for a new product. I suggest try holding down Command S at start-up to open into single user mode. You get a black screen with text only. Read the lower portion of text giving you disk mount instruction fsck -fy (in Leopard and Tiger). type the code, press enter and the computer runs a whole series of Unix scripts for cleaning system, files and disk function. After several minutes the text concludes with the words ‘The volume (name of your volume) appears to be OK.’
If so type exit and the computer opens into OSX.
If the message reads ‘The volume (name of your volume) has been modified’ that means settings are incorrect. Type the fsck -fy again, press Enter, let the system run and the result will be volume appears OK. type Exit and your back into OSX.
This bit of Unix code is invaluable for tuning up your system directories etc into sound condition. You will find an immediate speed increase. Having done this try your Boot Camp/ Windows install again. I hope it works, Good Luck.
