Problems with Bootcamp partition solved using program: iPartition

I Had real BOOTCAMP partition problems:
1. I couldn’t see the partition in the startup list
2. I got an error message “missing operating system”
3. All this was a result of adding an extra Mac partition for Mavericks
4. I fixed it all with a program called iPartition from “Coriolis Systems” in the United Kingdom!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, you're not alone. Many other users are having the same problem,and it appears that Apple is ignoring the problem. I bought my iMac 27" in June 2010 and installed Bootcamp 3.1 running Windows 7. About every other reboot the gray screen will freeze during bootup and I have to do a hard reboot. Sometimes I get the Disk Read Failure. It is very, very frustrating. The only reason I bought the iMac 27" is that I like the look of it and the big screen; I have no desire to switch to a Mac, as I have too much money invested in Windows development software. I've installed multiple dual-boot systems in other non-Mac systems and never had any problems. I hope Apple stops ignoring the problem and comes out with a fix real soon.

  • Problems with a simple stop watch program

    I would appreciate help sorting out a problem with a simple stop watch program. The problem is that it throws up inappropriate values. For example, the first time I ran it today it showed the best time at 19 seconds before the actual time had reached 2 seconds. I restarted the program and it ran correctly until about the thirtieth time I started it again when it was going okay until the display suddenly changed to something like '-50:31:30:50-'. I don't have screenshot because I had twenty thirteen year olds suddenly yelling at me that it was wrong. I clicked 'Stop' and then 'Start' again and it ran correctly.
    I have posted the whole code (minus the GUI section) because I want you to see that the program is very, very simple. I can't see where it could go wrong. I would appreciate any hints.
    public class StopWatch extends javax.swing.JFrame implements Runnable {
        int startTime, stopTime, totalTime, bestTime;
        private volatile Thread myThread = null;
        /** Creates new form StopWatch */
        public StopWatch() {
         startTime = 0;
         stopTime = 0;
         totalTime = 0;
         bestTime = 0;
         initComponents();
        public void run() {
         Thread thisThread = Thread.currentThread();
         while(myThread == thisThread) {
             try {
              Thread.sleep(100);
              getEnd();
             } catch (InterruptedException e) {}
        public void start() {
         if(myThread == null) {
             myThread = new Thread(this);
             myThread.start();
        public void getStart() {
         Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
         startTime = (now.get(Calendar.MINUTE) * 60) + now.get(Calendar.SECOND);
        public void getEnd() {
         Calendar now1 = Calendar.getInstance();
         stopTime = (now1.get(Calendar.MINUTE) * 60) + now1.get(Calendar.SECOND);
         totalTime = stopTime - startTime;
         setLabel();
         if(bestTime < totalTime) bestTime = totalTime;
        public void setLabel() {
         if((totalTime % 60) < 10) {
             jLabel1.setText(""+totalTime/60+ ":0"+(totalTime % 60));
         } else {
             jLabel1.setText(""+totalTime/60 + ":"+(totalTime % 60));
         if((bestTime % 60) < 10) {
             jLabel3.setText(""+bestTime/60+ ":0"+(bestTime % 60));
         } else {
             jLabel3.setText(""+bestTime/60 + ":"+(bestTime % 60));
        private void ButtonClicked(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                              
         JButton temp = (JButton) evt.getSource();
         if(temp.equals(jButton1)) {
             start();
             getStart();
         if(temp.equals(jButton2)) {
             getEnd();
             myThread = null;
         * @param args the command line arguments
        public static void main(String args[]) {
         java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
              new StopWatch().setVisible(true);
        // Variables declaration - do not modify                    
        private javax.swing.JButton jButton1;
        private javax.swing.JButton jButton2;
        private javax.swing.JLabel jLabel1;
        private javax.swing.JLabel jLabel2;
        private javax.swing.JLabel jLabel3;
        private javax.swing.JPanel jPanel1;
        // End of variables declaration                  
    }

    Although I appreciate this information, it still doesn't actually solve the problem. I can't see an error in the logic (or the code). The fact that the formatting works most of the time suggests that the problem does not lie there. As well, I use the same basic code for other time related displays e.g. countdown timers where the user sets a maximum time and the computer stops when zero is reached. I haven't had an error is these programs.
    For me, it is such a simple program and the room for errors seem small. I am guessing that I have misunderstood something about dates, but I obviously don't know.
    Again, thank you for taking the time to look at the problem and post a reply.

    May be the cause for this is :

    2) CLASSPATH is not setted properly..
    Can you look more into this stuff.
    Thanks,
    Soorya.

    Hi,
    To access any database fromm XI, using the JDBC adapter, the corresponding drivers have to be installed on the XI server.
    Just check this note 831162.
    Also, check this PDF to install Drivers in XI,

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad. 

  • Problems with a shared calendar using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010

    Hello all,
    We are having a problem with sharing a calendar using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010.
    I will start with some background. I have just started my position with this company. I have been working with networks for awhile at the small business level. I have not had much production experience with exchange. There is only myself and my supervisor
    who has inherited a midsized network which was built by five previous techs that are no longer with the company. Of course, the previous techs did not leave much documentation, so the original hows and whys for our system setup has been lost.
    One of the managers has a calendar she shares with some of our users. I believe this calendar has been in use since sometime in 2006. A mailbox was created to hold this calendar to keep it separate from the managers calendar. I am not sure what version
    of exchange they were using at that time, but I assume there was one or two migrations of it getting to its current state on our exchange 2010 server. At some point it was observed that the other workers she was sharing with were not able to access it correctly.
    I am not fully sure what the original problem was (possibly some people not being able to see or connect to the calendar), but it was decided to give everyone who needed access to this calendar full access permissions through exchange. Correct me if I
    am wrong, but I believe that gave everyone connected the ability to do anything with the calendar. Of course the manager was not happy about that. This is where I started working on the problem.
    I removed everyone, except the manager who wants to control the calendar, from having "Full Access Permissions". This did have the effect of making some people just able to see the calendar and not make changes. Though there were others that were
    able to connect to the calendar who I thought would not be able to. The manager that originally created the calendar did try to manage access to it through the Outlook interface, though it currently does not seem to be fully in effect.
    So, to get to the point of what we are trying to do, is there a way to get the original manager back into control of the calendar though Outlook? It would be preferred to be able to keep the history of what they tracked of this calendar, so starting a new
    one would be something we would rather avoid. After that, getting all of the users that need to connect to the calendar reconnected with the correct access permissions and making sure they are all synchronized.
    I realize this is a big mess, and your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Nigel,
    How is the impact, just one user or all users, Outlook or OWA?
    If just one user, it seems like an issue on the Outlook Client side.
    Please trying to re-create new profile to fresh the caches.
    Please runing Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs, add-ins and firewall.

    To map the drive on your computer click on Start - RUN - type "\\192.168.1.1" and click ok... When prompted for Username and Password type "admin" and click ok... Now you will be able to see the folder which you have shared on  your router, right click on it and select "Map network drive" and click on finish.
    Now it will map the drive on your computer and you should be able to transfer the file from your computer to the USB drive.

  • Problems with a VBA Userform using Multipage (2) and DTPicker.

     
    Hi
    Problems with a VBA Userform using Multipage (2) and DTPicker (4)
    On Page1 I've got 2 DTPicker, one for the date and the second for the time.
    Same thing on Page 2.
    Problem:
    Only one set will work, if I close the Userform with" MultiPage"on page2, only that set will work.
    Same thing if I close on Page 1 then just the set on Page 1 will work.
    As anyone seen this problem and any work around you may think would help.
    I'm using Windows 7 , Ms Office Pro. 2003
    same problem on Windows Vista , XL2003

    There are a number of issues relating to the way that date pickers are handled, but the most important is that their output is text. In order to get the values into Excel, you need to format the Excel columns as Date and Custom (time format) and convert
    the output to the worksheet from text to date values.
    Date pickers also display a few anomalies on multi-page forms, so you need a belt and braces approach. Personally I would put the code to call the form and enter the values in a standard module (as now in the example) and use a belt and braces approach to
    maintaining the format.
    I think you will find the example now works.

    Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo? It use to work but it no longer lets you place a title over the opening photo.

    Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4))    I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.
