Recent Bootcamp update

So I just installed the recent update for Bootcamp and my whole screen has gone slightly soft. This is very, very annoying and I want my screen to look how it did not two seconds ago. When Windows was booting up it looked just fine, the screen went black and when it came back it had this soft look. Please someone help.
I'm running Windows XP on a Macbook.

I have investigated this bug furthermore, and read many forums. At the end, I am suspecting some bad interaction between these two W7 updates, and Kaspersky Internet Security 2013.
I have :
- set my network connexion to "automatic", in order it could be active duiring the "reboot / finishing installation" phase after W7 update
- disactivated KIS 2013, and set the preferences in order it does not launch automatically during W7 boot.
Then I installed the first suspected KB "infrastructure user-driven ...". After W7 reboot, no bug (bleu screen) during copying a file from the OS X partition towards the W7 partition. Then I reactived KIS, and reboot, some tests, no bug either.
I did then the same procedure with the other suspected KB "insfrastructure kernel-driven ...". Same thing. No bug after reboot. Then I reactived KIS and reboot, no bug either.
Hence it seems that Bootcamp in not the culprit, at least not by itself alone. Maybe only in combination with these two W7 updates, and with KIS 2013.
Nevertheless, it's much more probable that there is some bad interaction between KIS 2013 and these two W7 updates. Performing these updates with both KIS 2013 disactivated (and not launched at boot), and the internet connexion set on "automatic", seems to prevent the problem.
I need to perform some more intensive tests, but the bug seems to have disappeared, or at less is became fal less frequent.

Bug between bootcamp and recent W7 update ?

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro with several hard drives, one being partionned:
- Snow Leopard 10.6.8 kernel 64 bits
- Window 7 64 bits, bootcamp 3.3
This configuration has been running perfectly since more than 24 monthes, even with all the W7 updates.
Today I installed some recent W7 updates, several dealing with .NET or IE, and two with so-called 'driver architecture V1.1'.
After this update, being loggeg on W7 partition, when I try to copy a file from the OS X partition to some folder on the W7 partition, I have regurlarly a crash of W7 with a blue screen. I never had that before.
I tried to uninstall the two W7 updates dealing with this pilot architecture V1.1, one is named 'kernel-driven ....', and one is named 'user-driven ...'. After removing these txo updates, everything is OK again. I was able to copy many files from OS X to W7 without crash or blue screen.
Hence I suppose there is some bug between the Apple bootcamp drivers, especially the one which allows to mount and read HFS+ partitions, and this W7 update.

Recent OSX update affecting finder search

after the recent OSX update for ML my finder search no longer shows the origination of the file. so it will find what i am looking for but I dont know where it is on my imac.

After much messing around I have bootcamp'd Windows 7 to test my Samba share with 'the real deal' client.
Not surprisingly; the Samba share works perfectly when accessing from a Windows PC.
Is anyone at Apple listening? There really isn't any excuse for not being able to maintain your file sharing support...
btw. I came across a post at the PathFinder forum and their users are also experiencing the same problem. I downloaded a trial version of PathFinder and it also cannot successfully copy files into the Samba share. It gives an error code of -36.
I spent a little time checking to see what was going on when the copy operation failed. As described in my previous post, a message is displayed saying the copy operation cannot be completed. At this point I ssh'd into my server and had a look at the file system. The file was copied (seemingly complete) and a hidden file also existed. When I hit the ok button on the error message both files are removed from the server.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

IMacs blue screen after recent Windows Update!!

Hi,
Our iMacs running XP-Pro did a recent round of Windows Updates 9/2. They are all blue screening Pagefaultin non-paged area, win32k.sys problem.
System Restore does not work
Can only boot to Safe Mode
Tried Last Known Good configuration (worked on some)
Has anyone else seen this and has a fix?
Thanks

I have seen this problem on a bunch of iMacs running bootcamp at multiple sites. The issue is definetly a mixture of ATI graphics cards and a recent windows update (I have not been able to identify which one). The fix has been simple though.
1. Reboot the iMac
2. Hold down the Option(alt) key
3. Select Windows partition
4. Quicky tap the F8 key after the partition selection
5. Select Enable VGA mode
6. Install BootCamp 3.0 drivers.
7. Reboot
That should do it. I have fixed about 20 macs this way, no fuss, plus the newer drivers add a whole bunch of enhancements to the iMac running XP.

With Windows Vista, the most recent Itunes update 1/30/2014 has caused Itunes not to work, with a Mscvr80.dll not found error. Uninstalled all Apple programs, and installed fresh Itunes. Same problem. Tried to reinstall using an older install exe nogo

Recent ITunes update has caused ITunes not to work. Tried uninstalling all Apple products and reinstalling fresh. Still doesn't work. Tried reinstalling from an old install.exe. Install went nicely but program won't start as it says it can't open the library file.

Now that I have no way of accessing any of the products I have purchased from ITunes, I will most certainly never use ITunes again for any reason. Why throw good money after bad? I will use another MP3 player that is not as cumbersome or proprietary.
Lesson learned.

How do I retrieve apps and books that were lost in recent software update for my iPad?

Is it possible to retrieve lost apps and books in recent software update?

Yes it should be possible deppending on your version of ios on your ipad. In the app store you can go to "purchased" and download any apps you've previously purchased. I'm not sure if this will also work for books or not. Also, if you haved synced your ipad to your computer, itunes will have all your data (books, apps, music etc...) and you can load it all back up.

Receipt in recent iTunes update

My work recently issued me an iPod touch (the only reason I have an Apple product) and I purchased an app for work. I need a receipt to be reimbursed. I made the purchase over 72 hours ago and have not recited an email, and yes, I checked my junk mail. The instructions in the Support Community require iTunes (why I need another program to manage my purchases I don't get) but the instructions don't apply to the recent iTunes update. Does anyone know how to get a receipt with the new iTunes update? Please help.
Posted with my Windows Phone

You should have an emailed receipt to the primary email address that is on the iTunes account. If that is the email account that you are checking and the email isn't there then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will send a copy (which is probably unlikely) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
Or would a screenshot of your purchase history be sufficient ? If it is then you can see the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com, or there is a better version of your purchase history viewable via a computer's iTunes : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Phone not responsive after recent software update

I have just updated my phone (iPhone 5) with the most recent software update and it's now "died". It was 100% charged and I'm now faced with an unresponsive phone which just shows the "plug to iTunes" visual.
Anyone else have the problem and know how to resolve it?
*Frustrated*
PS did it for my iPad and it went through no problems.

You're right. Just tried for the sixth time. Thank you. What a productive Monday afternoon!

WiFi Problems - TC to MP, since recent firmware update

Hello,
i found some threads about other people having trouble here, but nothing seemed to fit my situation.
I have 2 Macs - a Mac Pro (Early 2008) and a MacBook (Late 2008). And a Time Capsule, which i purchased sometime between the Macs. Up to now, everything worked perfect, both machines were connected via WiFi to the TC. But since the recent firmware update, the MacBook works fine with the TC, absolutely no problems, but the Mac Pro (a bit longer distance) doesn't work any longer.
This started on Friday (i don't use the MP daily), it was impossible to get a WiFi connection, tried re-entering connection data and so - no success.
On Saturday, i used the cable to check the TC configuration, everything worked fine, and after fiddling around with the setup, i finally got WiFi working again.
Sunday - MP was off all the day.
Today - Just powered it up, no WiFi. When i disable and re-enable AirPort, it gets a connection for a second or 2, but then drops it. If i get a connection, i have a strong signal (all bars black), so signal quality isn't an issue. And before the update, everything worked fine, the only change is the firmware update last week.
The MacBook doesn't have any issues, no matter, where it is located. I'm currently writing this post on it while syncing some home directory stuff with the MP (MB connected via WiFi, MP connected via cable).
So what is this new problem? After damaging USB to complete unusability, Apple now continues with the WLAN features? What comes next? When will all this be fixed?
Meanwhile, i think it was not the best idea to switch to Apple about a year ago. The continous quality drops get painful meanwhile. I wonder when my iPhone gets unusable (which also works fine with the TC, by the way

Hi again,
okay. It really was the 7.4.1 firmware. This morning, i reverted to 7.3.2, did a full reset, reconfigured everything, and now my network works fine as it did before.
It seems to be important to reconfigure the TC, as just downgrading the firmware didn't really help, while full reconfig with 7.4.1 also doesn't help.
I now turned off the automatic search for new versions on the TC. I will be informed by the AP Express, which has no problems with 7.4.1 yet.
Hope, Apple re-introduces quality control soon and doesn't make the customers be the beta-testers.
...Michael

Since the most recent Firefox updates, I am having trouble with certain features on The New York Times website; I can no longer see certain weblog comments, or post comments, etc.

This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.
