Two Boot camp icons in task bar--fix?

Ever since I updated to Boot Camp 2.02 and then to 2.1, I have 2 separate Boot Camp icons in my task bar (that thingie on the bottom right of your screen) under Vista-64. One of them launches the control panel for BootCamp 2.0, and the other for 2.1 (both work). Does anyone know how to get rid of one of them. Speak slowly for the Windows-illiterate. Thanks.

I had the same problem. This is because you have part of the 32 BIT Boot Camp installation running.
To resolve launch Vista then go to Start> Control panel, switch to the Classic View and double click on Programs and Features. From the list you should see two items named Boot Camp Services. Select the one that is about 6.9 MB in size (the other will be 253MB, do not remove this one!) then press uninstall, confirm the action when prompted then restart when prompted. Once restarted there will only be one Boot Camp icon in Vista.
Job done!

Two Boot Camps installs on the same Mac Pro?

Is it possible to install two Boot Camps on two different internal drives on a Mac Pro? Can I rename the Boot Camps disks to, say, BOOTCAMPXP and BOOTCAMP7? Will this confuse the startup disk system preference in OS X or the Boot Camp control panel in XP and Windows 7?
I would really appreciate any help here.
Steve

Hi,
first: be sure to have/make a backup of what you have now.
second: have a look at the instructions here http://www.harbar.net/articles/mbptb.aspx
The order you need to do the installation/partition is this:
Mac OSX, Win XP (instead of Vista), W7 (instead of Windows 2008 server) (as used in the linked article).
Good luck

Why do i have 2 boot camp icons in the Dock?

Setting up new iMac and when exploring Boot Camp, I see 2 Boot Camp icons in the Dock. When I try to remove one, I see the puff of smoke but then it returns. What did I do wrong? Returning to Mac after years on PC.

Hi Martha, when does it return exactly? Right away or after rebooting?

How do i get a print icon in task bar

installed printer with manufactures disk but i do not get pre-print icon on task bar.

Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.

How do I make a Boot camp icon on my Mac Desktop

When using the Boot Camp partition (i.e. Win 7) there is an Icon on the task bar that lets me switch to Mac OS. When using OS X, there is no similar Icon. I have to go to System preferences, select a disk, choose Boot Camp and click OK twice. I hope that this can be done with just two click, the same as going from Win 7 to OS X.

Hatter:
Thanks for the quick reply. Can the Startup disk be placed on the dock? Recently, I took a cruise, and one of the onboard amenities was a "Computers at Sea" program, which utilized a whole bunch of iMac machines for all classes, Windows as well as Mac. When I fot home, I decided that my next computer would be an iMac. As luck would have it, three weeks afteer we got home, the sound card on my PC decided to stop working, so now I have an iMac.
It seemerd to me that when using the iMacs in class, we had only to click once to switch from Win 7 to OS X. and back. I don't remember how. I have tried to have a Startup disk on the dock, or on the desk top, but am having no luck. Was I mistaken, or can I put a Start up disk icon on the Dock? If so, how do I do it.

Boot Camp repair via Hybrid MBR fix after 5+ partitions

With the understanding that Boot Camp only formally supports a Windows boot upon creation from a single Mac OSX data partition, I'm trying to determine if a fix exists for the following boot setup. The end result I'm pursing is a triple boot mac setup with Mavericks, Win7, and Ubuntu. This applies to the bootcamp subject because it is not possible to install Windows 7 without Bootcamp due to USB3 drivers at install on this model [2014 Macbook Pro]. Thus making the Win7 Boot Camp task a required first step. The partition edits after this to make room Linux end up messing with the hybrid MBR boot setup that Boot Camp created - resulting in no available Windows boot option. A bit of research tells me that this Boot Camp partition can be repaired with some manual hybrid MBR work as long as a total of 4 partitions are present.
My question is can an alternate (or new) hybrid MBR approach support a fix for an already existing Boot Camp partitions while 5+ partitions exist on the same disk? If at all possible, what are the risks involved?
Current State:
As of now, I have the bootcamp hybrid MBR set up properly with Win 7 working -- though knowing any partition edit will mess this up. Using rEFInd boot manager already, and plan to incorporate that for the final setup. Would be hesitant to drop the Apple Recovery Partition if at all possible.

The additional that will put me past the supported 4:

7. Shared FAT32 space ~4GB [can also toss this if it puts me one partition over from a resolution]
Thanks in advance, appreciate any input.

windows get minimized to the taskbar automatically when you allow them
to be minimized and the user clicks the third icon from the top right,
or you can do it programmatically in newer LabVIEW versions by setting
the minimzed state. What this guy meant was that he wants to minimize
to the system tray which is a very different thing than the taskbar ;-)
I answered with two possible Toolkits in another thread to do this.
Doing it yourself with shell32 functionality is rather thirty work
since it involves callback functions and quite some infrastructure
around that to really work well. Nothing for someone not quite seasoned
in C programming.

Quicktime icon in task bar removal - HOW?

I was hoping someone could tell me what to do to remove the quick time icon and keep it from loading at time of boot into the task bar on the right. I don't understand the purpose of certain programs automatically installing their icons in the "date/clock" window without the user specifying to do so.

I was hoping someone could tell me what to do to remove the quick time icon and keep it from loading at time of boot into the task bar on the right.
In Quicktime, go "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" (or, alternatively, launch your QuickTime control panel).
Click on the Advanced tab. Uncheck "Install QuickTime icon in system tray", and click OK.
Restart the PC. Has the QuickTime icon gone from the system tray?

How to enable bluetooth icon in task bar in rmbp with windows 8

The bluetooth icon dose not be showed in task bar in rmbp with windows 8.
The device of bluetooth dose not work correctly in device manager of windows 8 with the yellow exclamation mark.
The windows system event log shows BTHUSB alerts and error with code of 3 and 17. The driver is unloaded.
Some apple magic mouse's functions can work, without sliding to navigate.
The current OS is in bios enumeration mode with MBR and The logged user is in the normal account and the bootcamp is newest.
I have remembered that the bluetooth was good without above problems when the windows 8 was installed firstly and the bootcamp can not work in administrator account. After being restored NVRAM with option+command+p+r and reinstalled windows 8 enterprise 64 completely again, it shows these problems when the bootcamp works well.
Except the first windows installation, the second time is selecting EFI boot and the last time is in normal mode, which has no difference in the bluetooth problem. In a normal or administrator account, the same problems appear.

The bluetooth drive problems have disappeared after the following steps:
reset intel SMC
remove the bluetooth device with yellow mark.
scan system device changes. find 3 devices without any yellow mark: (a) Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth, (b) Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator, (c) Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator.
find magic mouse and it works well with all functions. and the icon appears in the taskbar.
no BTHUSB error is in system log.
I don't know the right reasons. Maybe the efi windows installation has changed rmbp efi settings.

Boot Camp Icon Question

I have my Windows/BootCamp Hard Drive partitioned. I would like to change the icon of it when in Mac mode but does not allow me to copy and paste.
What must I do to make this work?

Boot from your Snow Leopard install DVD snd run Disc Utilities to Verify & Repair your drive. If that doesn't resolve it, make a full backup and then format & restore your backup.
Usually when you get the error message you reported, it means that the drive is fragmented and a critical file can't be moved. Booting from the Install DVD might be enough to let the Disk Utility fix the drive, but it might require the backup/restore in order to "defrag" the parttion. I had that happen to me back when I installed Boot Camp under Leopard.

Is it possible to create two Boot Camp volumes on one drive?

Recently, my MacBook Pro (mid-2009) was running out of space. I have a 500GB internal drive, with a 120GB boot camp partition. I opted to install a new 480GB SDD in the optical bay, move the Mac OS and files to the SDD and leave the Boot Camp partition on the old HDD. Now I wonder, is it possible to split the HDD into two or even three partitions and have TWO of them run as Boot Camp drives for Windows?
The reason is this: I have a work Windows drive and a development windows drive. I am running Parallels, but with our business systems, and the developmnt aspect, I need to boot both into native Windows if possible. I'd rather NOT use up SDD space for a Windows machine, since it's already smaller (and I like the faster speed on the Mac side anyway).

Is there any way to not to show the task bar icon and only access the application with tray icon.? ( Like Stickies app)
Thanks in advance.

Magically Changing Icons - M$ Task Bar

Hi,
In Windows XP (Windows NT), when you open multiple windows of a program, the programs become inconisized and grouped together under one menu icon with a name. For instance, opening Windows Explorer multiple times creates a menu on the task bar that displays the Windows Explorer Icon, the number of windows open, and the title of the program--Windows Explorer.
However, when I run my Java programs multiple times (or make many frames within a program) and iconisized them, they appear on the task bar as a menu with a little white window icon with a blue title, the number of windows (frames) open, and "java" or "javaw" beside it.
I know how to add icons to frames. What I don't know is how to keep my icon and application name on the task bar when windows (frames) or applications become grouped. Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated. Spent 4 hours looking all over Sun's site, trying to find an answer. I've even tried to download some open source programs and tried to disect them to find the code. Sample code would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
J Apprentice

J Apprentice,
XP groups these together because they are using the same executable (java.exe). The name which appears in the taskbar group is gained for the exe's description attribute (take a look at the exe's properties from explorer) or , failing that, the name of the executable. The only way around this is to create a JNI wrapper executable which links to the JVM and calls your main method instead of executing java.exe. (BTW this is how java.exe works anyway). Some java installers create these wrappers for you.

Missing icon on task bar of executable powerbuilder

I have a very strange issue....
This occurs when I execute our software application that has been build with powergen( powerbuilder). When I execute the executable( acct123.exe) that was built, some of the icons that we created and use ( on a task bar) have 'red X' instead of the image. When I select the icon it executes properly.
I talked to some of the people testing the application and they would see the 'red X' some days and other days, the image would display.
I have attached a jpg that shows the icons red X
any thoughts?????????????????????????

Hello Deanna,
A few thoughts / questions.
1) Has this application worked properly before or is this a new EXE?
2) Is it possible that the application is referencing any of the images using a directory path that is set up in the properties of a datawindow and the path has changed?
3) Any changes in the Operating System or Servers? What is the environment? I ask this because you say sometimes users see the icons and sometimes they don't.
4) Verify that all the files referenced are in the same directory (EXE, PBD, DLL, images, etc.)
5) And as Bruce asked is there PBR file referenced? If so, did you include it in the Build process?
