Updating xp to SP2 - going round in circles!!

Hi everyone, today I have successfully installed Windows XP inc SP1 onto a seperate partition using bootcamp. I put the MAC OS disk in and tried to run the bootcamp setup, however it states that I require SP2. I have SP2 on CD, so I thought this would be simple, right near the end of the installation, it crashes with the following error
"There is not enough disk space on C:\Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$ to install Service Pack 2. Setup requires a minimum or 4 additional megabytes of free space or if you also want to archive the files for uninstallation, Setup requires 4 additional megabytes of free space. Free additional space on your hard disk and then try again."
I read on a forum that i need to upgrade to bootcamp 2.1 before I can install SP2, however I could not install Bootcamp as I need SP2 to do it!!
I am in a bit of a loop and cannot see an easy way out!!!
My network uses WPA and apparently I need at least XP SP2 before it will recognize the network.
I have spent a whole day on this now and really need some help!!!
Any advice would be appreciated

Hi Gary,
before giving up you might try me81s advise from here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2154840&tstart=0
Though meant for SP3 difficulties, it might also work with your SP2 problem,
As for the slipstreaming process, it is not that difficult but has to be done on a Windows PC running at least XP SP2.
See here http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp
Hope it helps
Stefan

Are you using a Mac or PC? If it's a PC, have you tried changing the iPod's drive letter or plugging the iPod into a different high powered USB 2.0 port?

8520 Update problems - going round in circles!

Hi everyone!
I am hoping someone can help.
I've been trying to sync my BB Curve 8520 with my laptop for the last few days and nothing is happening. I have update the desktop manager to the newest version, I plug in my phone and still nothing, the desktop is saying the phone is disconnected. I have tried to go through the BB website and check for updates. Again it says connect phone, I do this and nothing happens.
I have really been going round in circles. T-mobile have told me to take it to the shop but unfortunately we do not have T-mobile in NI.
Can anybody help?
Many thanks
Claire

Hi and welcome.
Is the BB turned on when you connect it?
On the laptop, when you go to my computer with the BB connected, does it show in the list of drives?
Are you using the USB data cable that came with the BB when it was brand new? Some cables are to charge the battery only and not for data, so if this was the case the computer will not be able to "see" the BB.

Time Capsule With Windows 7 Please Help Going Round in Circles!

Hi
have just got a 1Tb time capsule for Xmas. I have a 13" Macbook unibody and have installed the time machine and airport utility through this, thinking apple computer + apple time capsule will be easier. All went well and the Macbook sees the Drive and has backed itself up nicely. So very pleased.
Then the problem i have a windows 7 machine and went off and installed the airport utility on the machine. All went fine, but i cant see the HDD, i can see it in network places but all i can do is read it, i can't write to it from my windows machine. Have looked at loads of posts about mapping drives making sure latest firmware (7.5) etc but am totally lost as i read so many different things that i just ended up going round in circles!
What i wanted to do was put all my media, documents and pics on the TC and allow both machines to share from it and use it. But no matter what i try it seems i can only write to it from the mac. I have seen in the airport utility on the windows machine under disks (after selecting manual setup)> file sharing that the secure shared disks is set to "with device password", now i have the passwords, i just cant seem to see where i can see that drive in windows and where to enter the password!!! Should that be set to something else? File sharing is enabled.I assumed once i had installed the airport utility on the windows machine the HDD would just pop up in my computer or something like it popped up easily on the mac! Or am i being stupid and it doesnt work like that?
The windows machine is connected via ethernet and the mac is wireless.
Please can someone help as its driving me mad and i just cant seem to figure it out. Am not that computer savvy when it comes to things like this and am probably missing something really stupid but you know what its like when you have stared at something for hours. Any help would be most appreciated or SIMPLE guide or something
Many thanks in advance and happy Xmas to you all

Just an update to the above i can now no longer see the time capsule in network places!! All i have done is retstarted!!! I can still see the time capsule from my mac and access it!!!

Hello Filbert,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone wanting to continually restore. I found an article with steps to address the issue you described:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please try to troubleshoot security software issues.

Perhaps that email you're waiting for was blocked as spam or is in your junk folder. Something like that.

BrowserLab login NOT WORKING CORRECTLY - going round in circles

Hi, I tried, as normal to log into Browser Lab and got the new "sign into CS Live and CS5" thingy, which then sent me round in a big CIRCLE. Ending up with not getting onto Browser Lab, but being asked again if I want to sign up for CS Live. Have I broken it?
Yup, just tried again, going round in circles. Somebody broke it, tsk tsk. Any ideas ?

I can't get into BrowserLab either. I've used it several times since getting CS5, but over the past week or two, every time I try I just get the loading bar.
In Safari, I can't even get to the landing page--i.e. the one with the big red "Try BrowserLab" button (http://www.adobe.com/go/browserlab_cslive). That gives me the same fullscreen gray page with the loading bar in the middle. Oddly, there doesn't seem to be an option on the Adobe site to log out and then log back in so I can retrace my steps through the sign-up process as you suggest. In Firefox, the landing page appears, but when I click "Try BrowserLab" I get the same loading bar, taunting me.
In Dreamweaver, I click the CS Live button up top and it tells me "The application is not connected to the internet." Is there a particular way I need to connect Dreamweaver to use CS Live/BrowserLab? I connect using FTP just fine and upload/download files all day. Don't use a proxy.
Looking forward to using CS Live once again. It was a cool feature, the few times I was able to use it.
Thanks,

That's a Micrisoft product, not an Apple one, so you'll probably do better to post in the MS user-to-user forums here:

HT1937 do apple sell the codes to unlock your phone? if so how much? ive been going round in circles on here now t, thanks

do apple sell the codes to unlock your phone? if so how much? ive been going round in circles on here now t, thanks

when you buy a sim locked phone you don't pay the full price of the phone
the carrrier pay most of the price because you haveing your phone locked to their network for a period of time make it possible for them to make up for the loss of them paying most of the price of the phone
if the phone manufactor went back on their sim lock and sold unlocks on the side they would be in violation of that agreement between the phone manufactor and the carrier and would be sued for alot! of money

Purchasing Mainstage 2 - can I still buy this - if so where? I'm going round in circles on the Apple site! Thanks in advance

I hope that someone out there knows the correct link (if there is one) to purchase Mainstage 2. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - all my software run fine. I happy here - I just want mainstage 2 for a live project. I'm going round in circles on the Apple site. Can anyone help with how to buy a copy of version 2?

I bought Mainstage 3 thinkng I would be able to expand my GB sound library. Is only MS2 compatible with GB? I can't figure out for the life of me how to get all the patches into GB.
Neither MS2 or MS 3 are "compatable" with GB: the majority of the patches use the synth and FX plugs that are built in to MS and not available in any other program.
That said, you should be able to use the Sampler files that are included with the JamPack content.

Have been trying to cancel and refund my iCloud upgrade am going round in circles apple says you can cancel within 14 days but won't tell you how help!!

Have been trying to cancel and refund my iCloud upgrade am going round in circles apple says you can cancel within 14 days but won't tell you how help!!

You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade but only within 15 days of buying:
Apple seem to have made this as difficult as possible. You may be able to do this using http://expresslane.apple.com - Click on 'More products and services', then 'iCloud', 'Account and setup' then 'This topic is not listed'. Explain the situation in the box provided and wait for a response - include a phone number. However you may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare.
In that event you will need to phone them directly, using the Apple Online Store number given at the bottom of this page. The first person you speak to may tell you to do it from the iCloud website but this is not possible. Politely insist on escalating the issue to a more senior person and eventually you should be able to get through to someone who can deal with this (you may have to wait for them to call you back) - you will be asked security questions and for part of your credit card number to identify yourself.
If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see

Keep going round in circles - get Congratulations message from mobileme then still cannot sign into iCloud. Have successfully moved 2 other family accounts weeks possibly months ago but this one will not? Am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 OSX. All ideas welcome as these are original mac accounts and keen not to lose them - call me sentimental:-)

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, OSX 10.6.8 will not support iCloud. You can use the mail address from the iCloud account with Snow Leopard bot not the rest of the iCloud features. You can access then via the web browser though at iCloud.com.
To set up iCloud mail.
Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
