Strange problem after installation of bootcamp with windows 7 on Imac i5 27

After installed Windows 7 (Single partitions Leopard Snow and Windows works very fine) i have a bootloader problem with the option key at startup of the machine.
If i hold option for a little time i don't see any icon, only a gray display. Only if I hold down the option key for about two minutes icons appears correctly.
The problem not exist if i install rEFi, bootloader, it start very fast and all work fine. Any ideas?

Hi,
This is Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) forum.
If you like use APEX listener and have problem with that here is link to correct forum.
ORDS, SODA & JSON in the Database
If you like use EPG see configuration steps from APEX install instructions

  • Strange problem after share a port with My webserver and FMS

    My webserver is running, and I want to use rtmpt(80 port) to player a video. So I did as same as:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/configadmin/WS02f7d8d4857b167770a4686812a808b 6918-8000.html
    If you want Flash Media Server and your web server to share a port, set up Flash Media Server as the proxy, put your web server on an unused port, and change the  fms.ini HTTPPROXY_HOST setting to point to that port.
    httpd.conf
    Listen *:8080

    Everything is ok except when a post a form.
    When I submit a form, the website send me a “application/x-fcs” type empty file let me download file.

  • Can I run a windows software program taht is on a CD on my macbook pro after I install bootcamp and windows xp home?

    Can I run a windows software program that is on a CD on my macbook pro after I install bootcamp and windows xp home?

    genepaquin,
    the last MacBook Pros that supported installing Windows XP in a Boot Camp partition are the Mid 2010 models. If your MacBook Pro is newer than that, and you don’t have a newer version of Windows to install into a Boot Camp partition on your MacBook Pro, then you might consider an alternative such as running Windows with the help of programs such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop rather than through Boot Camp.

  • Problem after installation Project Server 2013 CU September 9, 2014

    Dear All,
    I have some problems after installation
    Project Server 2013 CU September 9, 2014 (Hotfix 2883072) on 3 level farm
    Before installing CU, I have installed
    SP1 for Project Server 2013, installation and configuration was successful.
    Then I have installed CU and I have not get any errors during installation process. Then I have restarted servers and in SharePoint health analyzer got an error about patch/installation status
    on WFE server.
    I checked in Windows installed updates and hotfix is installed. I checked in SharePoint Update and Upgrade history and there were no errors during installation. But when I checked in Manage
    Patch Status list I found an information:
    Language Pack for SharePoint and Project Server 2013 - Russian
    Microsoft Project Server Russian Language Pack 15.0.4420.1017 Installed

    If I run installation again I get message that nothing will be updated - no update needed.
    Please help, how I can install missed packages?

    The problem was solved !
    I solve it using two ways:
    1. I have installed the hotfix for Project Server -  Hotfix for Project Server 2013 October 14, 2014 KB 2889959 (Projectserverwfe-x-none.msp, Projectservermui-Language-Code.msp)
    2. using command
    Psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd installcheck -noinstallcheck
    After two actions I was able to run SharePoint Configuration Wizard and upgrade database. Configuration completed successful.

  • Bootcamp with Windows 7 won't start with upgraded RAM

    Hello!
    I upgraded my RAM from 4Gb to 8Gb.
    OS X works fine but bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 wont start. The screen goes black and white cursor is blinking at the top left corner. I have waited several minutes but nothing happens.
    When I remove the ram I just installed, Windows 7 will start normally.

    Are there any other options here? This is quite frustrating. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my Bootcamp, and upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 8GB (bought Crucial RAM, which should be completely compatible). When I try to boot Windows, I get the blinking cursor hung. This is the ONLY thread I have been able to find that relates directly to this issue. I started to re-install Windows from the bootable install disc, but that tells me it will re-install Windows, and save all the old data in a volume called "Windows.old" and that I can access this data but "will not be able to use my old version of Windows." Maybe that's OK. Since I use my Windows partition exclusively for gaming and 3D sculpture work, I am pretty sure I can just pull all the appropriate data and re-install it in the new version of Windows. But I am leery of going through all this after reading the tale of woe told here that says that even re-installing with 8 GB RAM fresh does not work. Does anyone know of any other resources or options here? I can't even get to "Safe" mode - just a black screen and the blinking cursor.....arrrrgh! Any help greatly appreciated!

    Thanks and Regards, Rangnath Mali

    Hi Rangnath,
    For running SharePoint Designer 2013, you need to install Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework or higher.
    Please uninstall the Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework, and install it again. After that, reboot your machine.

  • Problems after transfering Cost centers with LSMW

    Hi,
    I have a problem after transfering Cost Centers with LSMW.
    The first Batch input run created all cost centers in one CC Group erroneously - cause they should be placed in different CC groups.
    I changed LSMW settings and made another batch input run - now the Cost centers were created in proper groups. I think that I deleted all CC's created in previous batch input run, but now I am not too sure, because there is a problem...
    Cost centers exist both in their proper groups and in the one group mentioned by me before. So there is such situation that Cost center appears in Standar hierarchy twice at the same time.
    When I delete cost centers - they are removed from their proper groups but the CC entry remains in that one group - all CC are there inactive.
    How can I get rid of them. I tried deleting them - but it's impossible - the system doesn't see them.
    When I run the batch input again - the same cost centers appear in proper groups and at the same time they become active in the one group. The standard hierarchy group is not UNIQE.
    Please advice me how to delete these entries from standard hierachy.
    Best wishes,
    Karol

    Hi,
    Always recommended before loading into live system: upload in test system and check. check again just to make sure all is correct before real load.
    In your case you probably would have been best to do a group change after incorrect upload.
    Do Ambiguity check in stadnard hierarchy to explore all incorrect entries. Depending on your version yo ucan change in that function (ECC6) ore need to run a report. Before running the report check that CC master records have correct entry. The report is RKCORRH1
    Again, try in QA first and run in Test Run
    Good luck

  • Bootcamp with Windows Vista

    Does installing bootcamp with Windows Vista significantly slow down a mac with a noticeable difference? I have a pretty new mac and am thinking about using this function. Does it make more sense to install windows xp? And what is a good amount of space to leave for the windows side to have?

    Does installing bootcamp with Windows Vista significantly >slow down a mac with a noticeable difference?
    What do you mean by this? Slows down the whole system? Or the performance of windows?; since you mentioned XP on your later question.
    I have tried both windows (vista & xp) on a macbook, and for performance, xp is faster.
    as for the whole system (macosX & windows) no diffrence in boot up and speed
    as for partition size of windows... that would depend on you whether your mp3, pics, videos would be used on windows or mac... mine is 20gb with no problem

  • 20" imac won't restart after rebooting under bootcamp running Windows XP. I get a black DOS screen with an error message.

    My imac has been running without problems under OS X Snow Leopard and bootcamp running Windows XP for a long time. I had received a Sony MP3 player and wanted to install the software on my computer. At the time I had a CD in my drive slot because I was getting ready to install some brother's software for a printer I wanted to use. I restarted my imac under bootcamp and started installing the Sony software in Windows XP. I was having problems with the install  and decided to restart XP to see if that would help. It's been several days since this originally happened so I'm not of sure of any more specifics at this point other than I've had to use windows machines for a long time and know that basically when in doubt "restart".
    When my imac was restarting I heard everything spinning up, the white light came on, but I heard no chime, a blue screen came up for about 15 to 30 sec. and then it went to a black screen with DOS characters giving the following message:
    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32\hal.dll. Please re-install a copy of the above file.
    I do have a copy of Windows XP, but my first problem was that I still had a CD in the slot and it would not eject. I tried every keyboard combination I could find including: eject button, F12 and holding down the mouse button at start-up and nothing worked. I also tried every other start-up keyboard combination I could find at Apple Support jut to see if I could get my imac to start up under OS X . I finally went on youtube to find out how to remove the CD. I ended up opening up my imac and taking off the cover of the CD drive to remove the disk. After putting everything back together I put in my Windows CD and tried restarting again. The exact same thing happened and I ended up at the DOS screen. Then I thought maybe my keyboard wasn't working so I replaced it with a new one. Same result. I also thought to plug both of my apple keyboards into my windows 8 laptop (hate it!) to see if they worked there at all. They both did so I'm sure the keyboards are not the problem.
    At this point, since I do now have a windows 8 laptop (hate it!) there is no remaining reason for me to keep a bootcamp partition on my hard drive. My question is where do I go from here? I have a current time machine back-up on an external hard drive and I have my install CD for OS X Snow Leopard. How do I get my imac back up and running? Thanks.

    Can you OPTION boot? If so, then choose the OS X volume to boot back into OS X. From there you can use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Windows volume and restore the drive.
    Boot Using OPTION key:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
          "OPTION" key.
      3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
      4. Select the desired disk icon from which you want to boot.
      5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

    Hi K,
    Thank you for you reply and sorry if the information was a bit too truncated. well here goes.
    I am using a MacBook Pro (3.1) 17 inch, 2.4GHz processor, 2 GB ram. I edit video using Final Cut Studio 2. i am having a problem with Final Cut Pro 6 after downloading the latest update (6.0.3). Before I downloaded the update I used to be able to export my movies on the Quicktime option of FCP (not compressor or Quicktime conversion) giving me the option to view the the movie while in an FCP Project. The viewer used to scale the exported video to 16.9 (720 by 576 anamorphic), it no longer does this, instead playing it in 4.3. I have tried exporting both from the time line and the canvas but the viewer will only preview in 4.3. As I want to see it in 16.9 because that is what the movie was made in, captured and edited in. The original settings have not changed but there seems to be this annoying problem.
    I hope that is enough detail

  • Lion and snow leopard bootcamp, after installing lion snow leopard bootcamp with windows 7 does not boot

    Just installed Lion OS  on my 2nd mac (on the 1st without an issue) but as I had a partition with windows 7 (installed with Snow Leopard bootcamp).
    It seems that Lion OS renamed the Bootcamp partition but I am not able to rename it through OS.
    Is there a solution for this or do I need to re-install?
    Many thanks for your help
    Rui

    Hi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
    mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that  you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition    i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1

  • Problems after installation: Freezing, long waiting, no turning back.

    So, I thought give Windows 7 a shot on my iMac 20" running Snow Leopard. Installation went well, it is running without any problems. After the installation, some very strange problems occur:
    1. When I boot into OSX, I have to wait for at least 5 minutes or longer, before I can login to my useraccount. I see the users on my screen, but when I click one of them nothing happens. After the 5 minutes, it's like the system awakes en everything I typed in the meantime appears.
    2. It takes 2 or 3 tries sometimes before i really load into OSX. Most of the time my system freezes while loading the icons in the top, or loading the software in the dock. After 2 or 3 tries I usally make it through, and I can use OSX. While freezing I only see a colored cursor.
    3. While using OSX, at unexpected moments the system can freeze, showing me just a colored cursor. Probally the same cause as problem 2. It's usally Finder or Safari that causes the system to freeze. Most of the time I have to reboot, but sometimes it works to put the iMac into sleep mode.
    I thought this wouldn't be the trouble, so I decided to uninstall the Bootcamp partition. But ofcourse this won't work either. When I start the Bootcamp-assistent, it states I don't have the latest firmware, although I absolutely have according to the website.
    Edit: Of course, I tried to check permissions and check the disk with the installation CD and Disk Utility. I cannot check the Bootcamp partition, that one is grey, and according to Disk Utility, my Macintosh HD partition seems to be fine.
    Is there a solution for this?
    Message was edited by: SV88

    Well, I removed the Bootcamp partition, and resized the disk to it's original format. Nothing seems to change, all problems keep occuring. The frustrating is, I can't backup through TimeMachine, it keeps crashing (colored cursor, or just a plain freeze)!
