VNC : windows do not update contains but get grey instead
Dear list,
I use vnc to connect to a 2x2,66 Hhz 6-core Intel Xeon, under 10.6.8.
I used to work correctly until last month updates.
Since then, when I use the scrollbar on windows or move a window on the screen, the contents becomes uniform-grey.
The only work around I found is to resize the window to recover to contents of a window.
Even worse with Finder windows: you have to hide and un-hide the window to see the full contents.
Thus it becomes almost impossible to work with VNC.
I use vnc from various computers from 10.5 to 10.6.8 not always fully uptdated with the same problem.

Well I managed to fix it, I'll post it here so it might help somebody in the future.
I read some posts about Bootcamp Assistant causing issues and it turns out to be correct, you just have to do everything manually and don't touch bootcamp assistant at all. I created a bootable USB using a program called Rufus (only available on Windows afaik), and downloaded the bootcamp drivers and put them on the USB myself (http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Appl e_Software_Updates/Mac_OS_X/downloads/03…)
Then I went into Disk Utilities and created a 120GB partition for Windows, then deleted that partition. Essentially left me with a ~380GB partition for OS X, and ~120GB of empty space, not a partition or anything.
Then boot from the USB, select this "empty space" as the partition to install Windows during the windows setup, and everything should work fine.

Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple solution. Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.
Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Please any sugestions ?Hi,
Please make sure you have format the system drive and perform a clean install, not just override or upgrade from the previous system.
The bootloaders for Windows Vista and Windows 7 are quite similar, you could have a look at this article and see if it's helpful to you:

We were able to update iPhones but get an error message when trying update our iPad. Ay suggestions?
What iOS are you currently running?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Finder windows do not update their content for ARD
Server (to which I am connected): MacMini (Late 2012) 10.8.3,
Computers (with whom I am connected): MBP 2008 10.8.3, iMac 2011 10.8.3.
After connecting I open any Finder window and try to select files with the mouse (or Command-A). The window is not updated. If you move the window on the desktop, it is updated. All these actions are performed without the monitor connected to the server.
If you connect an external monitor, so no problem. When connected to the monitor to send the image looks much smoother.
This problem does not occur if the map files in the list view. The problem is present, if the map as icons.
Tried to restart the server - did not help.
Tried to install Combo update 10.8.3 - did not help.
The problem occurred suddenly, it seems after I added the video in iTunes. (That is up to the challenge I did not install any software or not an administrator password).
How to fix it?
Here's a short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtG1t6q9eFI
Also there is a server MacMini 2010 (10.6.8) - there are no such problems.Found an interesting solution, I have not tried it myself yet, I'm waiting resistors

Why don't you explain what happens when you try to delete these two apps that are showing that they need updates. You can only delete them if they are actually installEd on the iPad. Are they on the device?

Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. via UEFI installation
I recently performed a clean WIndows 8.1 installation using my new Hard drive. However, under UEFI mode from BIOS, everytime the setup process reaches the "Installing Updates" stage, I kept on receiving an error "Windows could not update the
computer's boot configuration, Installation cancelled.
I was a bit puzzled as everytime I install Windows 8.1 via LEGACY mode from BIOS, setup finishes! I cannot tell whether I need to mod my BIOS or what.
please help.
raymund r
Hi,
Please make sure that Delete all partitions/volumes on the disk # (ex: Disk 0) that you want to install Windows 8.1 as UEFI on until that disk # shows as unallocated space.
Try again to install Windows 8.1 again.
If it still fails, please post back the setuperr.log and setupact.log under C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\ for our research. You can copy them out in WinPE command mode.
Also, I would like to check if you use bootcamp to install Windows 8.1 on Mac computer. If so, check the solution here:
