You would not be able to recreate the recovery partition to load Windows 7. I would either leave it intact or make the recovery discs first, then delete. You may need these if you ever choose to go back to Windows Vista.

I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw)

I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw here.)
Older Macs with a single Harddrive would simply expand OS management on the drive, and I think I understand the new Fusion Drive to do just that, but how do I get this product that I spent a great deal of money on to be more than a pretty screen?

I was confused by this statement
It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.
OS X manages ram and when you run out, it create swapfiles to extend your ram on the HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The OS itself, takes about 16 gig of space and that too resides on the HDD. Your 16 gig of RAM is really a temporary space that holds things from the HDD so the processor can work on them. There is no design flaw between your ram and HDD. Something else is going on and there are a lot of smart people here to help you figure out what that "something else" is.
I would do three things. First I would create a backup, backups are important. Second, I would reboot into recovery and repair my HDD. Lastly while still booted in recovery I would repair permissions.
Can you capture a screen shot of the exact error you are getting?

Creative Zen Micro Photo not tested for use with Windows so cant install it! Please help

Heya! Basically when installing the software for Microphoto it stops saying that as my device hasn't been tested for use with windows it cant install for fear of corrupting my laptop! Can anyone help me overcome this because i installed it aagges ago and it let me have the option of continuing the installating, but i had 2 uninstall it and upon reinstalling it it does not give me the option to continue. It just cancels the installation. Can someone please help me as this is driving me nuts!! Y is it that technology is continuosly mucking up grrrrr!
Lucy

Are you runnning Win XP SP2? If so, this is a standard warning about unsigned drivers, but it should still give you the option to "continue anyway" to complete the installation.
Also, make sure you have Windows Media Player 0, as this is needed for Windows XP (drivers) to recognize your MicroPhoto.

MacBook Air 2013 with Windows 8.1 installed with Bootcamp

Hello , I have a fairly new 2013 MBA 8g , 128ssd, i5 and I installed windows 8.1 with Parallels 9 but it was eating my battery life so so fast and I really didn't like the Parallels experience. I uninstalled and wiped my MBA to factory settings to get a clean MBA.
My question is if I use Bootcamp to install Windows 8.1 will that destroy my battery life just as bad when I'm not booted and using windows but booted and using the MBA OS. I believe you can boot into Mac OS or Windows at start up.
Thanks

parallels and vm ware are a well known system hog! they will drain your battery while consuming ram and resources. although this is harmless to your mac per say, once turned off the mac goes back to normallity abeit with a low battery.
the answer to your question is bootcamp does not drain your battery any more than normal use would do.
hope this helps.

Pavilion A6750F hangs after new drive with Windows 7 64 install. Suggestions?

Pavilion A6750F new hard drive with clean install of Windows 7 64. The system will hang on many screens from IE to Outlook 2003. If I wait, they will correct themselves. The Bios is version 5.13, but I do not see an update available.

Hi,
There might be several items to check. Open the RUN window and enter: MSCONFIG
Make that the boxes under the Advanced TAB are unchecked.
It's very possible since you installed a new hard drive that the hard drive is faultly. Recheck the sata cables and run some bios diagnostics.
Open the RUN Window and enter the following command: chkdsk
Open my Computer and right mouse click on the hard drive --> properties --> Tools --> Check now
What is the make and model of the new hard drive?

Missing driver with windows 8.1 installing or restoring

Hi all,
If I try to do a clean install of windows 8.1 the installation routine tells me helpfully that I am missing a media driver. The only way I could get round this was to create a USB bootablke disc and then add ALL the lenovo drivers that I have down loaded cfrom the lenovo site. This worked and it appeared to scan the USB drive and find whatever it was looking for. I'm still none the wiser as to what it was missing.
This problem is compounded when you try to restore from a backup image created in windows (I have a new drive and wanted to clone my old system). It finds the restore image on the external USB drive but can't seem to find the internal drive. This time however it won't scan a folder but wants me to provide the location of the actual INF file for the missing driver.
Can anyone help? I am assuming its the data/drive controller but I can't find it anywhere.
Thanks

hi Rolf,
You most tikely have the Seagate ST500LX005 SSHD.
just to verify, using this guide as a reference, are you getting stucked at Step 7? Also, is the SATA Mode set to AHCI under BIOS?
When you get the prompt to provide the location of the actual INF file for the missing driver, can you consider the following:
1. Download the f6flpy-x64.zip file on either of the links below and extract it on a usb flashdrive.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=22194
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=22676
2. Before running the system image recovery, insert the usb flashdrive and locate the iAAHCIC.inf / iaStorAC.inf file on flashdrive and use this path when you get the prompt to provide the location of the missing driver.

Syncing files with Windows 7 after installing Lion

I keep my original files on my iMac desktop and sync with my Windows 7 laptop via home network. After installing Lion I have been unable to sync offline files. Was working fine with Leopard. When I run sync center from the laptop it gives me an error saying all the files are in use by another process. None of the files are open on the mac so not sure what is causing it. I have fiddled with permissions on the mac but doesn't seem to make any difference. Anybody got any ideas?

Though this is an old thread...
I have the exact same problem: Win7 64-bit, and even waited for the Lion Server 10.7.3 update hoping the problem would be fixed... but NO, the same problem is still there.
Symptom: client is a Win7 laptop, the server is Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion Server with SMB and AFP shares. Win7 Offline Files stopped working after I upgraded Snow Leopard to Lion Server. It keep saying "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". Some other WinXP clients are fine with the Offline Files though.
I Googled and studied online for several days now and it might be related to the "Oppurtunistic Locking", or "oplocks" for short, in the SMB protocol. Since Apple has re-written SMB, there's no "smb.conf" anymore to change oplocks setting. Does anyone know how to change the setting in "com.apple.smb.server.plist"?
From the Internet:
1. Oplocks should be DISABLED on the server if there is any other file sharing protocol (AFP) other than SMB.
2. Offline Files will NOT work if Oplocks is disabled on the server side.
3. It was possible to config oplocks setting in smb.conf before Lion but now there's no such file anymore.

How to format HDD with Windows Vista to install Windows XP

Hi, i would like to format my Notebook and to put Windows XP, but when i tried to do the boot using the XP cd it doesn't recognize the HDD, the type of my HDD is SATA
I believe that I should do download the special drivers, but i didn't find the drivers in toshiba webpage
thanks

Hi,
I believe you need to get the sata controller drivers applicable to your laptop, onto a floppy disc.
Refer to the following forum topic for instructions with the exception of where you get the drivers from:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=25441
To get the drivers for your laptop sata controller, try the following download from intel:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/license_agr.aspx?url=/12769/a08/infinst_autol.zip&ProductID=2792&agr=Y&sType=&PrdM ap=&DwnldId=12769&strOSs=44&OSFullName=Windows*%20 XP%20Professional&lang=eng
Then copy all the files beginning with ICH8 in the ALL folder of the download, to a floppy disc (refer to above forum topic).
Hopefully this helps you out.

Trouble Viewing 3D PDF with Windows XP after installing Adobe Reader X

Hi,
I have updated my Adobe Reader X last week ( April 2012 ) and since then I am having trouble viewing 3D PDF on my web browser, both IE 8 and Firefox. I am using Windows XP.
The warning message I got are shown as follow:
"Some features have been disabled to avoid potential security risks. Only enable these features if you trust this host: (and the hosting website of the 3D PDF goes here)"
Adobe Reader X will allow me to view the 3D model when I select "Trust this host one time only", but it does nothing if I choose to "Trust this host always".
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Peter H.

Hi Ankit,
Here is an example: http://www.catalogds.com/db/service?domain=newport&command=showProduct&category=root&produ ct=sl51bm
Just click on the "View 3D Model" button and it will bring up another window/tab with a 3D PDF.
I will try changing the setting in the Trust Manager panel when my Windows XP computer is available later today.
Thank you.

HP6380 will not print with Windows 7 new install

I have an HP 6380 All-in-one printer. It has never given me any problem when
printing in Vista. We purchased a new laptop for the Wife with Win 7. I
installed the printer on there with no problems.
I then decided to upgrade my laptop to 7 Ultimate. What I did was set my laptop as a dual boot machine and Win7 then became a full install, not upgrade.
When I did network printer discovery, 7 performed a search, found the printer,
and set it up. I did the test page print with success. I could not print
anything past that point and subsequent test pages failed.
I went to the HP web site and found a driver download that was supposed to
include 7 support. The installed printer was removed and I ran the new setup.
Still nothing past the initial test page would print. Further research on the HP
site made reference to a patch and reboot which did not fix the problem. There
was another utility on HP site that removed all installed printer files to allow
a fresh install, no luck.
At this point I decided to compare the printer properties between the Wife's
system and mine. Her system called to a port labeled WSD Port HP38147 (HP
Photosmart 6300 Series).
On mine, the reference was to a TC/IP port with the network address of
192.168.1.102.
I tried to change this to a local port also.
There was NO option for a WSD port, and when I tried to add a port, the only
options were Local or TCP/IP.
For now I am having to save items for printing, then go to my Vista via
dual-boot and print there, a royal PIA.
In Vista BTW the port is labeled Standard TC/IP port HP Photosmart C6300 Series.

Did you delete the printer in Devices and Printers and re-add it?

Hi,
With reference to the link below, this issue is reported to have been fixed by Bios version F.36 ( see the Revision History ) - bios updates are cumulative, so you should just be able to flash the latest version ( F.39 ).

Google "Nag" On Firefox With Windows 8 Installed (ScreenShot Available)

A Google "Nag" is appearing everytime Firefox starts. New Toshiba computer with Windows 8 Factory installed.
Have a ScreenShot available but honestly can't figure out how to post here.

Hay tres maneras evitar a esta situacion. Permites Firefox guardar los cookies de Google (para Google siguirle en sus caminos internet) o agregas Google a sus menu Windows 8 (para Google siguirle en sus caminos de internet y mas). O cambias su pagina homepage a otra pagina de buscar diferente que Google. Me preferia lo ultimo porque si bastante personas cambiar sus paginas desde Google por bing, o algo, quizas la gente en Google aprenderia muestrar mas respeto para la gente que pasan para sus paginas.
Es interesante que nadie ha mencionado el sujeto de 'spyware' que funciona en una manera simular a este script que Google esta utilizando. En otras palabras, mal. Pero Google ha encontrado un tipo de estatura "Dios" aqui, estan muy involuncrado con todo que se toque en el net, muchas veces estan pagando la gente que reglan su browser tambien. Quien va decir mal de ellos?
