Windows 7 freezes after first restart. Any ideas?

Hello, I've been trynig to dual boot my MacBook pro 13" mid 2010 model (1TB SSHD, 8gb RAM, everything else stock). I set up boot camp (had to download the update software manually to a separate drive). When boot camp boots up from my Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit disc, it starts running the installer. I've formatted the hard drive and the installation starts. Everything works fine and the system reboots to complete the installation. At around 70% of the progress the system freezes. My display freezes and the mouse doesn't move. I've removed USB connections and started over and that didn't do the trick. I've deleted the partition and re-made it and that didn't do it either.
Any insight would be great. Thank you.

Google is your friend, lots of posts and solutions when I tried completing installation bootcamp
This looked promising

You may have to restore your phone to correct the problem.

Adobe Reader IE plugin (11.0.04 - .06) is automatically deleted after first restart

Hi all
I have discovered a strange bug (as I like to call it). Since Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 (now we have 11.0.06) there is problem with IE plugin.
When I install it - everything is working and from IE I can succesfully open pdf files. But when I restart computer after Adobe Reader installation, all plugin files are missing (like they are automatically deleted) from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX folder. And ofcourse IE plugin is not working any more.
Workaround is when AFTER first computer restart I manually copy all plugin files to that folder or repair Adobe Reader installation - then files are not being deleted any more. As I said, it is very strange problem.
However this workaround is not acceptable to me because I have lots of computers where I need this software to be installed.
Have anybody seen this problem and know how to fix this? Other browser (firefox, chrome) plugins are working correctly after fist restart. This problem is with Windows 8.1 / IE11 and Windows 7 / IE9
In Adobe Reader version 11.0.03 everything is working and after first restart plugin is not being automatically deleted.

Hi
No, it's not an antivirus software, because same thing happens in clean windows 7 system (without any antivirus or other specific software). And like I said, it started with version 11.0.04 - earlier versions are OK.
Also not only IE plugin files are gone after first restart but also Adobe Reader shortcut in Start Menu. Adobe Reader itself is working.
After first restart and repairing Adobe Reader installation - these files are not being deleted any more. It is not helping if I do repair after installation and before first restart. The thing is, only first restart after installation always deletes these files.
I looked everywhere in Windows (registry, startup, scheduled tasks) where might be some clue what is deleteing these files - didn't find anything.

Drive Preparation for Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your OS X 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.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.

Mail app freezes after first use on iPad 3 and ios 8.1. How to solve?

Apple mail app freezes after first use after reset. iPad 3 and IOS 8.1. How do resolve?

Hi, sixfinger.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try forcing all applications to close and restart the device. Once this is done test to see if the Mail app functions correctly.

From what I can see, unless you're doing things with old versions of Xcode on a Mac (in which case, the solution seems to be to upgrade to the latest version), this seems to e an iTunes issue.
Accepting that it works fine with another iPad, I suggest trying the following:
1. Restart the non-working iPad
2. If that doesn't work, reinstall iTunes. If you're on a Windows PC, I suggest using Control Panel to uninstall all the Apple apps, restarting the PC, and doing a fresh install. If you're using a Mac, a repair permissions might help too.
iTunes 10.3 is now available, and that may make a difference.

Windows 7 Install wont continue after first restart in Install process

Hi,
I am trying to install Windows 7 Build 7000 on my computer. But it does
not seem to want to continue install after the first restart during the Install Process.
Here is what I did:
I put in the dvd, and boot my computer from the DVD. I set the DVD to
be the only boot device in the BIOS. The installer starts. I go through
all the steps needed for install. It comes to the first restart, and
the computer restarts. After a lot of waiting, the computer brings up
the first step to the install. Where it shows the "Install Now" Button.
(The install basically starts from step One again).
Not sure what I did wrong through all this. My computer Specs are AMD
6400 2.20Ghz, 2 Gigs of Ram, Clean 40 Gig IDE Hard drive, on Different
IDE channel then the DVD Drive (Not sure if that is important). Linksys
Wireless Add in Card, BFG Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT. (From what I know, my computer meets all the requirements)
So if someone could help me get Windows 7 up and running, that would be great!
Thanks in advance,
Musick Man
EDIT:
I forgot to say that I tried to install Windows 7 off a virtual drive
from within XP before I tried to install from a CD, but that didnt seem to work after the first restart
also. It did put the windows boot loader on my computer, but didnt
finish the Windows 7 Install. I have a feeling that it tried to
over-right my Windows XP install, because the boot loader only comes up
when my XP drive is plugged in. When I tried installing 7 with the CD,
I had my XP drive unplugged. So if 7 tried to install on my XP drive,
how can I get the files off it, that I dont want on it anymore, and
install Windows 7 on my other drive, in a XP and 7 Duel-boot.

Hi Musick_Man:
    If you want to install Win7 in a dual-boot with your XP O.S. you should leave the XP drive connected while installing Win7. If you just added the IDE hard drive you want to install Win7 on you need to make sure that that drive is jumpered as Master on the back and that the DVD drive is jumpered as Slave if they are on the same cable. The other option is to jumper both drives as "cable select" and make sure that the hard drive is on the topmost connector on the cable. If the DVD drive and the 40 GB hard drive are on separate cables they should each be jumpered as "Master" and use the top connection on each cable. You didn't mention if your XP drive is an IDE drive or not.....if it is on the same cable with the drive you intend to install Win7 on, you need to jumper one as master and one as slave or jumper both to "cable select". Hopefully your bios is already set to IDE/Native Mode already because if it is set to Sata mode for use with XP you might have problems dual booting with XP if you change the bios setting since XP is already installed. If both hard drives show up in your boot order list in the bios, that's ok......just make sure that the DVD drive is the first drive in the boot order so that you can install Win7 by booting from the DVD.
   If you are currently able to boot into XP, you shouldn't have any problems with the existing XP O.S. If you are having problems even booting into XP you might have to do a repair of the XP operating system by booting from the XP cd and selecting "Repair start-up" when the XP CD loads.
   Your hardware looks like it should work fine with Win7 and Win7 should automatically load all the necessary drivers during installation and when done each time you boot up your PC you will get a screen offering you the choice of which operating system you want to boot up (usually right after the bios screen). You will have 30 seconds to pick which O.S. you want to play with!
   In XP you will be able to "see" the win7 partition; but, in Win7 you won't be able to "see" the XP O.S. (you can assign a drive letter to the XP partition in Win7, but it's safer to leave it "out of sight). Both O.S. will show up as "C" in when you boot them up. Good luck...........you'll love Win7!

Serious problem after migration assistant - any ideas?

Hi folks-
I bought an iMac this weekend and for various reasons did not configure with data from my MacBook Pro when I first turned it on, but waited until two nights ago to use Migration Assistant to transfer all but users.
I updates both machines fully with Software Update first. MigAsst went fine until I hit the begin option and after a few minutes the iMac told me there was a problem with my MacBook Pro (MBP). I quit MigAsst on the iMac but even after an hour I couldn't escape it or quit the MBP, so shut down using the power button.
When I restarted, I had a black screen with lighted keyboard and startup chime. I hard-restarted, same thing happened. Third time, I got the grey apple window with no apple for about ten minutes, then a light blue screen with the spinning spokes (not the rainbow) and a slightly darker window with no spokes. The two blue windows alternated back and forth for maybe 8-10 seconds each endlessly until I restarted.
Since I live about 4 hours from the nearest Apple store and tech support was already closed for the evening, I restarted from the Snow Leopard disk and repaired permissions (there were many repairs) and repaired the disk (was told it was fine). I restarted and got the grey-blue-blue cycle again.
I reinstalled the OS from the Snow Leopard disk and everything worked fine - I ran as many tests as I know how to, even perturbed the casing slightly wondering if it was a loose video card wire or something. Nothing. It all worked fine for several hours until after the second Software Update (which as I recall was only Java and iTunes), and now all I get is the black screen again. Also, now the green light on the power cable is not glowing even though the battery reads as fully charged and the keyboard and startup chime are all hunky dory.
I'd think it was a video card issue, but there are too many incongruous symptoms. If I could at least start up from the OS disk again I could get my data off... Any ideas, diagnoses or suggestions would be much appreciated.
With gratitude and blessings.

The problem is described in a different post as well, and it is considered to be answered. However, the answers are not very satisfactory because they are complicated.
The underlying problem is that MacOS is looking for a FileVault user, while after migration the user files are actually not within a FileVault bundle.
I believe that there must be a setting to change the login properties for the user to not look for a FileVault user, but for a plain, non-encrypted user. So please, somebody from Apple answer this questions!
Command line very welcome, because I only have a command line user right now. And oh, my MBA didn't ship with a boot DVD so I don't even have the chance to reinstall my system easily. Also, getting my data out of the FileVault on my current machine, transfering everything again (almost 250 GB) and then putting them back into FileVault seems a bit too much effort for what appears to be a simple bit set somewhere…

After first restart after installing Mavericks the system can't identify the internal MacBook Monitor anymore

I am writing this using an external monitor in the office from my MacBookPro 8,1 (April 2011). After installing the upgrade the monitor worked fine. After shutting down the system and restarting it the next day the apple sign was shown for some seconds, then - I assume this was the time when the operating system was was finished loading, the screen went black and stayed that way.I the attached screen shot one can see that only one external monitor is identified (sorry for the german language). Anyone has any idea what to do except downgrading using time-machine? this is what I am about to do. thanks for any help or ideas!

The auto-conversion to core storage is not a bug anymore than the automatic drive encryption during the Setup Assistant unless you pay close attention. Apple is giving you the push into the future of OS X.
Furthermore, Apple does not really support Linux, ESP, or rEFInd. Windows is only supported via Boot Camp on a drive that has only one extant partition - OS X. The consequence of this is that Apple will not test this other configurations for any compatibility with OS X. We may not like that but it is what it is.
I am quite familiar with configuring multi-boot volumes like yours, so please don't call me a fanboy because I don't see things all your way.

Windows freezes after reinstall on p105-s6102

after reformatting drive and reinstalling XP on my p105-s6102 using the provided disk, Windows freezes at the blue motion line. the reinstall indicated it was successful. it does boot up ok in safe mode. chkdsk seems ok too. any ideas, anyone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media and still have a problem, it is not due to software.
If Windows works in Safe Mode, my best guess is that the video has failed, but that it still works using the display driver used in Safe Mode.
If that's the case, it should work when you boot with Enable VGA Mode.

In options, checking a new tab instead of the default a new window. After shutdown & restart FireFox returns to the w/no check mark. Can I save the check mark?

After a computer restart, Firefox always defaults in Options, Tabs, 'Open new windows on a new Tab' unchecked. After checking the box Firefox will then open new windows in a tab instead of a new window, However after a shutdown of the computer the check mark is gone and must be rechecked. Is there a way for Firefox to remember the check mark when the program is restarted?

hello gearjam, first of all it appears, that you're using an outdated version of firefox with various known security vulnerabilities - please [[Update Firefox to the latest version]] as soon as possible to stay safe while you browse the web.
regarding the problem you're observing, please make sure that no extension in firefox > addons > extension with the functionality to change tab settings is interfering here - or if this is not the case, go through the steps described in [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
