This is odd- win7 installed and it's OSx airport that's acting up(??)

So, I've been a lurker in the forums for years, and a previous apple consultant; and I've never had this or seen this problem before!
I had to dirty my baby with Win7 for a program, and after a system scrub and time machine restore- everything is back and working well EXCEPT that it actually says "airport is not installed", how can airport not be installed? It's working great on the windoze side; and that's not supposed to happen! The windoze side's not allowed to +1 the OSX side, is it?
Now, the inherent problem then is that I cannot download anything on the mac side, and the snow leopard start up discs seem to say all is in order. Has anyone ever heard of this kind of error before? I couldn't seem to find anything similar on the forums... Well... I'm stuck with Windoze7 for now... please help.
Yours
Avery

Let's hope a couple things: that you have bootable clones of your drives also; that the backup drive for TimeMachine has over 3x capacity of the data you plan and are storing. I would also switch TM backup drives so you have a 2nd.
Fragmented free space affecting performance happens when the drive is too full which may mean there isn't enough free space for a full backup set.
1.5TB for backing up 500GB, while WD Green 3TB is $140 and WD Black 1.5TB is, about the same price.
I'd be worried about the integrity and directory, and whether you can afford to lose that drive. Defragging is also a very slow operation. the ideal: to just clone a drive, or start over with another drive and wait. cloning TM volumes has not been done or has it? SuperDuper hoped to but I don't think they or Bombich's CCC made it there.
Trouble with highly fragged is when free space gets to 20% normally, 1/3 or so though for TM volumes, and finding where and a chunk of space for the file being written. Does TM use large spare image files of like 2GB?
Best would be to ask in the TimeMachine section Snow Leopard
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard?view= discussions#/?tagSet=1009
where there are some good FAQ and tutorials, and people that know the ins-and-outs and shortcomings.

  • My macbook air says I have a software update to install and In order to do that I have to restart it first. After I restart it, it doesn't do anything and I do it over and over and it still doesn't update. Please Help

    My macbook air says I have a software update to install and In order to do that I have to restart it first. After I restart it, it doesn't do anything and I do it over and over and it still doesn't update. Please Help

    The order is generally as follows:
    Download the update
    Allow the update to install
    The update will force a restart of your computer
    So I suspect you are simply misreading the directions regarding the timing of the restart.

  • Getting this error message after installing and clicking getting started

    I have been getting this error message when i click the Getting Started option for oracle
    "Windows cannot find 'http://127.0.0.1:%HTTPPORT%/apex/f?p=4950'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
    any ideas on what to do about this?

    Obvious thing to do is to correct Get_Started url shortcut.

  • After installing 3.6.9 update, none of my plugins are working now. not one...why?everything is still installed and it didn't say that it's incompatible with my version of firefox but i can't see a thing..no foxtab, no script, etc...

    after installing the update (3.6.9), all of my plugins are not working anymore...not a single one!

    One of the files that stores details on installed add-ons may be corrupt. Try removing the files to see if that helps. Firefox will re-create the files and in the process re-build the list of installed extensions and themes. For details of how to do that see the section on corrupt extension files in the [[Unable to install add-ons#Corrupt extension files|unable to install add-ons]] article.

  • Is it possible to install and use Firefox in a local disk drive D: ?

    A desktop computer with Windows XP, Professional Version and Service Pack 3. The browser is Explorer 8 and the search engine is Google. There is very little free space left in local disk drive C: and the browser Google combination is painfully slow.
    The computer also has a local disk drive D: which has only recently been formatted as NTFS with about 18 GB of free memory.
    Can I use this drive D: to install and operate Firefox ? Drive C: is probably the default drive in the installation process and the question is can it be altered to drive D:, if so how is it done. How much memory does Firefox use after it is installed.
    Any direction and advice would be appreciated to use as much of drive D: as possible with a Firefox Google combination.
    Thank you for considering this post.

    If you would install Firefox on the D:/ drive the vast majority of its files would end up in /Documents and Settings/ on the C:/ drive where the operating system resides.
    Firefox Portable will keep all its files together, where you install it.

  • Need Help Automating (Silent Install) and Serializing PSE 12. Installation (Volumn License)

    I am trying to automate and serialize a silent installation for PSE 12. I have a volume license for 50 users. The old Silent Install command (PSE 11) no longer works for a silent install (PSE 12). I need this routine to suppress the EULA and any other user interaction required. Additionally I need the installation to NOT require end users to Login using an Adobe Digital ID.
    I've attempted to try the "Solution" found here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5945374 . So far I've been unsuccessful. Here are the steps I've taken thus far.
    Copied install files to a network drive.
    Installed PSE 12 on a local Computer and using the Volumn Serial Number and Registered the program.
    Downloaded the latest version of APTEE.
    I've ran Ran the following on the registered computer successfully with a return code of 0: adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --generate --serial=<<Volume SN>> --leid="V7{}PhotoshopElements-EMT12-Win-GM" --regsupress=ss
    The following failed with a return code of 19 and an error messager of Could not find prov.xml: adobe_prtk --tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile="absolute path to prov.xml"
    Please help.
    Thank You

    They informed me that it's impossible to do a silent install and surpress the EULA.
    That seems at variance with the example code in the links I posted:
    Have you gone to chat via the Volume Licensing support page - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/avl-help.html. There is reference on that page to the Enterprise Deployment Forum (it seems more geared to Cloud subscriptions, but there are people posting Elements questions).

  • Startpage firefox 4 shows the firefoxlogo, a searchfield and another empty field. search button doensn't work. I have this problem on two pc and one laptop, all windows vista (business edition, and premium edition)

    when I make a new useraccount it works fine, but updating from the latest firefox 3 version didn't work.
    I use the old firefox startpage (www.google.nl/firefox) now, but I wonder why this is happening

  • I get an Invalid Command Line Parameter(valid parameters are "/install" and "/uninstall") when trying to open a zip file in saved locationall

    When I get an email photo from a cell phone it is saved in the download folder (which is another problem), and when I try to open it in that folder I get the above error message. I am able to open the picture in the body of the email however. I would like to save those pictures in "My Documents/Pictures."
    Thanks...WIN 7 system

    If the image is displayed in the body at the size you want, you may be able to save it using one of these approaches:
    * right-click image > Save Image As...
    * right-click (anywhere on page) > Page Info > Media tab > select image > "Save As" button
    To change your download folder, or turn on the dialog to let you choose every time, check out this article: [[Startup, home page and download settings]].
    Does that work?
    Regarding the error message in your subject line, I don't know what is causing that. Which Zip/Unzip program do you use?

     Hi,
    One of my ex-colleagues has installed a NI-DAQ 6.5 in our system. [And I do not see any other naitional instruments card in the CPU of the computer, may be he removed it] I deleted the account and all his files in the system. When I am trying to install version8.0, its not getting installed and giving me a message that I should uninstall the previous version by going to Add/Remove programs in the control panel.
    I tried doing that, but the "Change/Remove" button does not seem to work...[There is no response and so unable to install the new version...]
    Any idea how can this problem be solved?
    It is a windowsXP operating system with SP2 installed on a machine with P4 processor.
    Thanks

  • Can I install and run TWO versions of iTunes in Win7?

    Please, definitive answers only (as far as possible), and read the question properly before replying - it save creating a useless and confusing thread!!!
    My problem: New iTunes is awful, I like using 'CoverFlow) for navigation. Omitting it from the newer version is a mistake.
    How to resolve?: Can I, in a newly created (seperate Win7 folder from 'Program Files'), install an ADDITIONAL (and older) version, so that I don't have to uninstall the existing newer one?
    My music resource is on an external hard-drive, so, theoretically, is available to more than one installation of iTunes variants?
    I am NOT going to uninstall the new one I already have, as this is a 'normal' install which I shall upgrade accordingly.
    Can I install another, to work temporarily until iTunes put back into their relseases 'CoverFlow', by simply installing it in a different location/folder, and then pointing both to the music resource.
    Anyone tried this already, maybe even for the same reason as me, and got a definitive outcome if it works or not, without causing any conflicts?

    Thanks. Yes, I am familiar with dual-booting systems. I often do this at work. But, again, not really answering my question:
    Can I install 2 (different) versions of iTunes, on Win7 (just the one OS, or I would have said otherwise), if I install them into different folders.
    I ask as I've never tried it, and don't particularly know all about iTunes.
    To be honest, I'll just give up with this as a forum, as this is the 2nd time I've made a plain question as straight foward as a possibly can, to get an answer to a different one.
    I give up, if people just can't read properly, then answer the question , preferring instead to give me an opinion.
    With deep appreciation of you using that forum, I will bow down deeply concerned with my incompliance with your preferences. I am very sorry that instead of answering said question I provided you with solution. I solemnly swear that I will never do it again. I thank you for giving me a credit nevertheless for helpful answer.
