Virtualization support is disabled on your Mac

Installed new OS and now Pararells 8 will not open Windows 7 I get a message that "virtualization support is disabled on your Mac".  Pararells 8 worked great before I installed the new OS.  Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Pararells 8 with the update, but still can't get into Windows 7

    No Adobe support for CC Team Members if you have installed Parallels on your Mac
    First let me make it clear my iMac is running native OS X 10.8.5 and all Adobe Creative Cloud Apps are install on the iMac running natively in the OS X system environment. I only have Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac installed to run Microsoft Office software in Windows 7 when needed (because PowerPoint for Mac sucks big time compared to the PC version)… absolutely no Adobe CC Apps have been installed on the Parallels virtual PC environment.
    I have been having problems with Creative Cloud Desktop not updating so I uninstalled it and tried to install the latest version from Adobe. I then get the following error:
    We've encountered the following issues:
    There seems to be a problem accessing a critical file/directory during download. For troubleshooting tips. please visit our customer support page. (Error code: 204)
    [retry] [cancel]
    This has happened all last week. Because we have been so busy at work I waited until the weekend to contact the 24/7 chat support.
    This was going well. I was sharing my desktop with the agent who was adjusting the permissions of some folder. The problem came when he launched chrome on Parallels and not on the MAC and tried to install the PC EXE version of CC desktop. When I pointed this out to the Agent he instantly stop the screen share and stated in the chat box that virtual computers are not supported and I must find my own solution without giving me an opportunity to explain.
    Every time I tried to start the chat again I was cut-off while trying to explain that Adobe CC was running natively under a native OS X and the Virtual PC was a separate to this
    Only after my 4th attempt (having per cut an pasted my arguement into the chat box) did a get any further. The Agent refused to continue to try and fix my problem but did say the Adobe engineers are aware of the "204" error
    Has anyone else had this "204" error installing Creative Cloud Desktop or can  direct me to a solution it would be much appreciated

    Unfortunately I am still getting the 204 error
    I download the Creative Cloud Desktop App at home and brought it into work to install — which failed
    I then tried to install the same file on the only Mac in the office not on Creative Cloud and it installed with out any problems
    I then tried plugging my iMac into the same ethernet socket incase it was a problem with the ethernet socket. No luck it still had the 204 error
    These are the Adobe download log files which show errors but they me nothing to me

  • Any mac user use some kind of apps to "clean" your mac???

    i know that a lot of software are build for "CLEAN YOUR MAC", software like clean my mac, mac keeper, ccleaner. etc
    they all said that when we use our mac, there are a lot of "dummiy files " like language pack or used history .ect that need to be cleaned.
    if we dun clean it, it will make the system laggy.
    i know some ppl on the internet said its true,then other ppl said that all these softwares are jus malware, its totally unecessary to use all these.
    the mac ox system will clean itself.
    which one is true???
    did Apple claim or announce anything about these software???
    If its true,the softwares can clean your mac, how come all of these apps CANT go to Mac App Store???
    IF its true, you guys use what software to run the cleaning process???

    Macs do not need "cleaning". Apps such as the ones you mention have the ability to wreck your Mac.
    If its true,the softwares can clean your mac, how come all of these apps CANT go to Mac App Store???
    Because they are not safe to use.
    There are apps in the App Store that suggest the ability or necessity to "clean" memory or unwanted files. They are worthless and are only capable of degrading performance and wasting power. They will also waste your time and your money. Deleting localization files will cause problems and cannot be un-done without reinstalling OS X. Language files use a negligible amount of disk space.
    IF its true, you guys use what software to run the cleaning process???
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

    My guess, you have not seen the threads and posts about Windows 8 on here before posting.There are no stuck threads and people tend to not look or when they do not find threads that are helpful (try search and "month" means "Aug" not the last 30 days and it is harder now to do searches than it use to be or than just using Google!

    when trying to launch the "Boot Camp Control Panel", but I just stumpled upon a solution.
    I created a new Windows user, that was not Administrator. When I logged in Boot Camp updateded something and asked me to restart the computer.
    After restarting and logging in with my new user, I could start the "Boot Camp Control Panel" configure tap to click and use F1-F12 as function keys.
    Then I changed the new account to Administrator and now the control panel can not be startet again... but my settings remained... only on the new user only though.
    ============ 
    I had problems with windows 7 after the installation using boot camp. The GT 650M was not showing up as the graphics adapter. I fixed the problem by inserting my windows support software CD a second time. I did not let it use auto run.  I went into the Windows 7 directory and then into the Nvidia directory and ran setup.exe. This installed the Nvidia drivers for me. If this works correctly, you will have an Nvidia control panel available to you. I set the resolution to 2880x1800. I also set windows to 200% magnification.
    I think what happens is that after you install windows, and then run the windows support CD, the main boot camp setup script seems to stop on the nvidia driver install--everything else installed correctly.

    I did manage to make the trackpad work. You need to install trackpad++
    (http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4967-trackpad-control-module.html), it will enable the trackpad driver on boot camp. After you install the trackpad++, trackpad++ will complain something. ingnore it.  You should be able to enable trackpad. And you can now even uninstall the  trackpad++, the trackpad will sill work. 
    brightness, what graphics card are you using? It might be due to the auto adjusting brightness running there. You can go to your power options, edit the one you are using  (Change plan settings >> Change advanced power settings) and look for Batteries >> Enable adaptive brightness and disable the one you are using. After that, the scrollbar for adjusting brightness in power options should work again.
    HDMI audio in Windows 7 64 bit 
    reinstalled the Intel video drivers and audio worked immediately.
    My config:  2011 Mac Mini 2.3, Intel 3000HD video
           .   .       upgrade to 8GB ram
    Samsung 8000 series LED TV connected with HDMI
    Memorex external BluRay writer(USB only power)
    For Windows 7 install, I tried installing with the 64 bit DVD but this failed as documented elsewhere.
    Instead, setup with USB drive, follow instructions available in bootcamp
    After partitioning drive with boot camp and reboot, install Windows 7 with install wizard.
    When asked whether to allow automatic updates say 'no', then complete installation and run boot camp tools for Windows.
    Because the network driver gets installed prior to the Intel video driver, Windows will install the Windows Update Intel video driver which breaks HDMI audio.
    When auto updates are off, the Intel video driver that is correct gets installed last.  HDMI audio works with this driver.
    Apple should install the Intel video driver first and it would solve this problem.
    I now have full blown 3D BluRay support on the MacMini with TruHD audio, fantastic!

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4079148
    After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
    The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
    Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties".
    Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
    I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one.
    As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back.
    Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem.
    This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer.
    So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
    All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.

    Windows 8 to manage your mobile broadband use for you
    By Peter Bright
    Windows 8 will contain built-in support for mobile broadband devices and smarter use of metered Internet connections, as detailed in the lastest post on Microsoft's Building Windows 8 blog.
    Most 3G mobile broadband connections are subject to usage limits, and keeping track of data usage at the moment normally means running an application from the mobile operator, or even checking on their website. Windows 8 will have its own usage counters so that users can keep track of how much data they've burned through over the current billing cycle.
    Windows 8's faster Wi-Fi connectivity, with hot spots being found and connected to in under a second, and its new support for Wi-Fi hotspots that use authentication portals. Instead of having to open a browser to enter a username and password, it will be possible to type credentials directly into Windows itself.
    How to view error message:
    From Control Panel-> Admin. Tools-> Event Viewer-> Windows logs:
    Check Application and System Folders for Red highlit messages. Note that you can right-click clear these log folders.
    Memtest
    This is a step by step guide with audio and video to explain how to use memtest to see if your memory is defect:
    Another thing to add is that some errors will not be found on the first pass, best to do at least 3 passes.
    http://www2.corsair.com/training/how_to_memtest/
    Memory that "seems" to work in OS X (Lion, ML and earlier) but fails and does show errors with Windows and shows up in memtest - so don't trust your RAM just because it seems okay.

  • While trying to open iPhoto this message coming-You can't the application "iPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac

    I recently upgraded my MacBook from Moutain Lion to Maverick.After upgrading I can not open the iPhoto.Whenever I try to open I get the message --You can't open the application "iPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.Tell me how to solve the problem?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Is there a way to sign in on your mac from another persons mac

    I was just wondering if anyone new how you could sign into your mac from another persons mac. I seem to remember there being mention of that in the keynote for Lion or Mountain Lion. Do you have to set up a remote desktop thing or is there a basic way to do it? If so how do you do it?
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Yes, but how you do it depends on what it is you wish to do. If you wish to control your Mac from another Mac, use Screen Sharing:

    You can also set up file sharing so you can access the files of your Mac from another Mac:

  • Error Message: Your mac osx startup disk has no more space available for application memory.

    Hi everyone:
    I have a 2010 27" imac.  Dual Core i3, 3.2 GHz and 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM, and a 90% empty 500 GB Hard Drive.  Running Snow Leopard 10.6.6
    I have received a message intermittently since I got the iMac.  The Force Quit menu comes up and says "Your mac osx startupdisk has no more space available for application memory".  Sometimes there are a few applications open.  Sometimes none.  Whenever I look in the Activity Monitor Utility I see 2 or 3 gigs of RAM still available for use, and lots of hard drive space. 
    Im not sure why I'm getting the message, nor what to do to rectify it.  Quitting applications, like it suggests doesn't seem to help.
    I am grateful for any advice.
    Lauren

    Hey Lauren.
    First of all you do have some software updates you should be doing. 10.6.7 came out a few weeks ago. Sometimes doing all of your software updates resolve issues such as this.
    To check for software updates click the Apple and then Software updates.
    As this issue is someone broad, I would test one of the articles below to narrow down your issue.

  • How do you know if your Mac is 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz 802.11n?

    We have a 2007 iMac and an original MacBook Air, which were both bought in January of 2008. And a brand new 17-inch MacBook Pro. Our Time Capsule is the older non-dual band model which was bought with the iMac and MacBook Air, again in January of 2008.
    If they are all 5GHz, I would think I would want to set the Time Capsule's Radio Mode for "802.11n only (5GHz)."
    Assuming that they are all 5GHz, is this what I should do for maximum efficiency, or does it really matter?
    (And yes, I know that our iPhones would not be able to use the 5GHz band. Not a problem)

    That's true. Apparently the 5Ghz band can use 40 mhz bandwith, rather than 20 mhz, which when combined with the relatively few 5ghz devices, means it can be quite a bit faster. I routinely get about 8-10 MB/sec (that's 64-80 megabits/sec) with my 2007 Macbook Pro and my Airport Extreme base station (802:11n). The signal from the Airport Extreme is pretty strong across even from about 150 feet away, and through several walls, but the speed drops significantly (to around 2 MB/sec at best)
    Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to confirm your Macs support 5 ghz, apart from simply trying to connect to a 5 Ghz only network. I would assume that since my late 2007 MacBook Pro supports it, your Macbook (and probably Macbook Air) will support it too. I can't say for the iMac.
    You can look in the Airport section of System Profiler, then look for an entry like this:
    Supported PHY Modes: 802.11 a/b/g/n
    Note the 802:11 a - apparently the "a" refers to the 5 Ghz band, which is used by 802:11n. So, if it shows this, I figure it should work fine.

  • One Format External Hard Drive for Your Mac and PC...

    I have Formatted my External HD Passport 500GB = (465.8) and split it in two partition Mac OS Extended (Journal = 232GB) and FAT32 (Ms-Dos-FAT = 232GB) and reformat to NTFS using Windows...
    How to use one External HUD for your Mac and PC you have a PC and how to have two Partition in Mac OS Extended (Journal) and FAT (Ms-Dos-FAT)as you desire the size of your partition under application, Utilities and Disk Utility and covert the (FAT32) to (NTFS)using Windows Control Panel or just search by Start, search Computer Management or just right my Computer and format the second partition to (NTFS)
    Tips for Mac OS Extended (Journaled) FAT32 vs NTFS, what works and don't work...
    (1)Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Partition can't be use in Windows to transfer files but NTFS Partition can be use in Mac by transferring file from Windows to Mac and NTFS support for files over 4G in size...
    (2)FAT32 can be use in Mac and Windows but with a limitation that a file cannot be transferred to a FAT32 partition if the file is larger than 4GB such as a video file and FAT32 file system performs more slowly than NTFS...

    I have many external drives I use between my MacBook Pro and my Windows PC's. I use a free NTFS driver for Mac OS-X to give me full read/write access to any NTFS formatted partitions when running Mac OS. I also use MediaFour's MacDrive v8 on some of my Windows PC's to access any HFS+ formatted partitions.
    Most of my drives are formatted NTFS because I have more Windows machines than I have MacDrive licenses, and with the driver for Mac OS, they are fully accessible. I have a few drives I do keep formatted as HFS+ because I have encountered an app or two that don't work quite right when they don't get to write to files on an HFS+ partition (one of my backup programs is picky about this).
    As said before, FAT32 is fully accessible between the two OS'es but it also has it's own limitations.

  • TS2570 Question re: "Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility"

    I've worked my way through the step-by-step trouble shooting in the TS2570 article up to "Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility". So far, every step results in the same outcome - my formerly trusty 2007 Intel duo core iMac (24") will not start up, freezing on a grey screen with a blinking question mark on a folder. I don't completely understand this next step. I have both a Leopard and a Snow Leopard disc. I'm not positive whether these were for the iMac, or my old Macbook Pro. I assume this makes a difference.

    Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
    These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
    A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac
    Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
    In most cases the problems may be caused by one or more of these:
    a. Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
    b. Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
    c. Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
    d. The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
    Note that the information I have provided is what Apple recommends, If other users suggest different solutions than found here, then be sure what they recommend does not impact on your warranty, if any, or ability to get continuing Apple service.
    Please don't start removing drives or changing cables unless you know what you are doing and have exhausted other non-invasive alternatives outlined here. If you perform any work yourself that is unapproved by Apple, then you will void any warranty you may have and lose all further Apple Support.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.
    Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
