Problems booting a Windows partition after failing to install and uninstall NTFS 3G

Hi,
I run Windows on my Mac and I installed MacFuse and NTFS 3g today to see how would they work together. It was a terrible decission...!! After restarting the computer a window popped in the desktop with the following message:
NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk0s5
at /Volumes/BOOTCAMP because the following problem occurred:
Did not receive a signal within 15.000000 seconds. Exiting...
Afterwards I uninstalled NTFS 3g from System Panel but had problems uninstalling MacFuse. Curiously, I didn't find any preferences file of any of them. Anyways, I dived in some forums and about diferent ways to tackle this, of which I followed this one by bredikhin:
Link: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3942492?start=0&tstart=0
This succeeded in unistalling MacFuse, but didn't allow me to boot Windows at the menu you arrive after pressing and holding the option key. Nonetheless, I can read the files in the Bootcamp partition from Mac.
I'm using a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.4 on a 2.3Ghz Intel Core i7 processor with 4GB of memory
Thanks in advance!

As has been said, Windows 8.1 isn't formally supported yet, though I have it installed on mine.
Sadly many people have had problems with Bootcamp on Mavericks, especially on later Macs.
Some have had success by creating the bootcamp partition with Bootcam Assistant then rebooting in to OSX and deleting that partition then creating a new exFat partition in its place, named BOOTCAMP.
That partition can then be re-formatted NTFS by the Windows installer which then makes it usable.
Others have been less successful.
If all fails Google can turn up various workarounds until Bootcamp/Mavericks get sorted out (and 8.1 becomes supported).

Just installed windows 7 Ultimate using Boot Camp. Problem is when I chose to boot the windows partition, I get the windows icon on the sreen showing that it is starting, but few second after I get a black screen

Just installed windows 7 Ultimate using Boot Camp. Problem is when I choose to boot the windows partition, I get the windows icon on the screen showing that it is starting, but few second after, I get a blank screen. I suspect a driver (screen) issue, since I also installed Parallell using the boot camp partition and that works fine.
Do anybody out there has an ideal of what to do to solve this issue.
Thanks

How to hide (make invisible) folders in Boot camp windows partition

I just bought my parents a mac mini core duo and set up boot camp on it. I used FAT32 so the windows partition shows up in OSX as a volume called "NO NAME". I can also see all of the files and system directories in the volume as one would expect. I have 2 questions.
1. can I rename the "NO NAME" partition from within osx to something more like "WINDOWS" or "XP"? or am I stuck with "NO NAME"?
2. How Can I hide all of the system files and directories? I don't want other people in the house to be able to see anything on that partition except for 1 directory called "DropBox" (or something like that). This will protect the windows partition from being tampered with, and any files that need to be moved across partitions can just be placed in the "DropBox" folder.
I would appreciate any help with this.
thanks,

Do you have the "Developer" folder on the main level of your hard drive? If not, you can manually install the Developer Tools from the install disk(s) that came with your iBook.
I would be more than just a little worried about using the Terminal and command line codes to start hiding files & folders on your Mac if you're not already familiar with those tools.

Jabber for Windows - periodically tries to re-install and fails

Jabber for windows - periodically tries to re-install and fails. After install Jabber works for awhile but then when trying to open another program(Outlook, IE Explorer) it tries to re-install. If I go to the directory where the install files are and do repair it works. This seems like a conflict with another application.
I see this in the Windows application event log:
Detection of product '{4EB9D7DD-65B5-44ED-B877-CE3EF9B4530F}', feature 'Cisco_Jabber_Files', component '{7CB949BE-2270-4992-9C4C-8FDDB90F6FE2}' failed. The resource 'C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\Cisco Jabber\JabberMeeting\DesktopShare\atgpcdec.dll' does not exist.

Hi,
Do you have WebEx Productivity plugin installed on the machine? I can reproduce this problem after exiting Jabber, creating a One-click meeting from Outlook and restarting Jabber. Please provide further information to help me open a defect.
- What was the version of Jabber on this machine prior to 9.1.0?
- What is the version of the WebEx productivity tool plugin (if it is installed)?
- Is there a particular sequence that you can follow to reproduce it everytime?
Thanks,
Maqsood

Security Update for Windows XP KB979482 Fails to Install

The KB979482 update continually fails to install with a 0x8007F007 error code. It has done so from Boot Camp 2.0 through 3.2. Windows XP Pro SP3 is installed and all other critical and optional updates have installed without problem. Currently running Boot Camp 3.2, OS X 10.5.6. As best as I can determine the error code means the update found the system waiting for a reboot following a previously installed update and cancels the installation. Of course there have been a number of reboots. I have tried to install the update with the Firewall and Bitdefender anti-virus on and off.
Any help is appreciated.

Ok slap me, the solution was too easy. Did a manual download of the update at the following address. Executed the downloaded file and the update installed. Checked that the updated was successfully installed by running Windows update and it no longer showed up as needing to be done.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

Cannot restart after failed Leopard install

Attempted to install Leopard on iBook with appropriate processor speed. Installation fails. Reran installer and let DVD be checked. States problem with DVD. When I try to restart the computer, it will not restart. Spinning wheel just keeps spinning. I cannot get the DVD to eject.
I have already had to pay to have 24" iMac fixed after failed Leopard install, 2-3 hours trying to get through to Apple, and prior to posted comments on installation problems on the web site.
So far lousy product and very lousy service/support.

To eject the disc - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50991
Once you eject the disc, gently clean it before reinserting it. Some dvd drives are very fussy about the media.

Have people returned ipods after failing to install itunes?

I have exhausted all the information on here to try and install itunes after receiving errors 1305 & 1603. Just wanted to know if people have returned their ipods after failing to install itunes?
I think it is very poor that you are unable to contact apple and speak to someone if you are having these problems.
I am very disappointed by my first experience of owing an ipod.
Louis

Error 1305 is usualy something to do with the CD drive or the media.
Are you trying to install from the CD?
You can download iTunes here -> http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605.html
Error 1603 is usually a disk space problem. See here -> http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q111019

Sanjeev:
Maybe you can help. I haven't been able to resolve this one "small" problem which is preventing me from rolling out iWS6.0 SP2. I created a new instance of the server using "Add Server" so that I have 2 Web sites (e.g. test1.domain.com and test2.domain.com), but the 2nd server instance is pointing to the same HTML location as the first (i.e. http://test2.domain.com takes you to the same location as http://test1.domain.com). What do I need to change and where to fix this? Need a VERY quick answer to this to implement a production Web server. I've tried the suggestions made so far (see: http://softwareforum.sun.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=181&RPAGEID=135&HOID=50B500000008000000966A0000&UCATEGORY_0=_23_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=server+instances&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0) but nothing has resolved this problem. If you have any ideas at all, I'd appreciate if you could let me know :)
Thanks!

Hi adil,
For your issue, you can create a custom security token service (STS) and then set up a trust relationship between a SharePoint 2010 farm and the custom STS.

After downloading new version of Firefox 4 I am unable to use touch pad for scrolling. I have tried installing and uninstalling the new version but this problem has always been occuring.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

Pod Touch 32GB MTP USB device has failed to install and can't sync.

After updating iTunes on my Win7 64bit PC, when I plug my iPod Touch 32GB in, I get the error message "MTP USB device has failed to install" and can't sync. Yesterday, everything worked well.
Need help, please!

Thank you. I removed iTunes, QT, Safari and related software, then applied a Windows update and reinstalled iTunes and related software. It solved my problem and let me sync my iPod.
Thanks!

HT201210 Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes won't run

Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes won't run

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Error on iTunes library file after installing and uninstalling 8.1

I downloaded 8.1 after being prompted. After installing 8.1, I could not synch my IPod. I uninstalled 8.1, reinstalled 8.02, and now I am getting this error.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? I have about 39 Gigs of music, and will have problems trying to restore this to a hard drive.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this; i'm new; after i installed the latest version of itunes, i get a library error message each time i open it up; it tells me i have an invalid library, then it creates a backup and calls it 'damaged1'; i have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times now; each time, i erase all traces of past libraries, so that i start 'new'; the first time i open up itunes, i don't get the error message; i do absolutely nothing with the program, just close it; wait 5 seconds; open it up, and immediately i get the error message, and it creates a 'damaged1' back up; each time i open it, it creates a newer backup, and keeps adding 'movie, genius, dj' etc to my playlist; if i open it 10 times, i've got 10 of all these folders - HELP ME!
