Windows 7 not bootable after upgrade
Hello All,
I have just upgraded to Maverick OS X 10.9 (13A603). Now as many of the others I am unable to boot into my Windows 7.
The partition is NOT LOST. I can still see the partions and the files in the Windows HD just cannot boot with it.
I guess it can be easily fixed using gdisk for experts.
Anyhelp in this matter is greatly appreciated.
My outputs are:

Thanks alot
I think my problem is that my Windows HD partition is not marked as Bootable.
In the gdisk i see this in the recovery option
Recovery/transformation command (? for help): o
Disk size is 236978176 sectors (113.0 GiB)

4 138399744 236976127 primary 0x07
No partition is marked as bootable.
Learning from Christopher's learnings, may be i just need to create a new empty GUID partition table in gdisk by pressing o
Add new partitions (by pressing n) EFI (dont know what it is for), Macintosh HD, Windows HD and Recovery HD into it and make Windows HD bootable.
Am I correct ?
Another issue that can be is that my two drives have completely same GUID.
Is this ok?
May be it is causing issue.

ITunes window would not open after upgrade
Just upgraded to OS 10.4.7, and iTunes 6.0.5. All my software is fully up to date with all the latest. After the upgrade when launching iTunes I have two problems:
1. Intially the program launched. Now iTunes window does not open. Only the Equalizer window opens. A very big problem!!
2. During the first launch after the upgrade, when I still had my window, it took away a couple of free songs credit I still had with Apple. I don't have those credits any longer, or at least it didn't show it and wanted me to pay for downloads.
Should have left the program alone and not update I guess.
Any suggestions? Thanks.Only the Equalizer window opens
That means the app. is active.
Press Command-1 (Window menu) to reveal the iTunes window.
Sorry, no clue about the credits.
Hope this helps.

Windows Defender not working after upgrade to 9860
I get an error message after upgrading to the new build 9860.
Hi,
I just made the update and received the same error in Action Center.
Suggestions by david hk129 worked here.
Click Start, on the search box, type services.msc, press enter.
Locate the Windows Defender Service, then click the Start button on the left side. After that, wait for a few minutes and Windows Defender came back to work at my side.

Windows Live not working after upgrading to Windows Live 2011
Hi,
I upgraded app the application under Windows Live to 2011. All the
installation goes well, without any failure. Hurray!!!!
However now its
behaving very strange. None of the applications are instantiated upon executing
their executables.
While executing wlmail.exe, msnmsgr.exe,
WindowsLiveWriter.exe, etc, I can see in the task manager that the executed
process is started, but before getting interface of appication being executed,
it is terminated.
The only application that run is
wlstartup.exe.
Important note: Everything works fine for admin users, but
not for standard users on Lenovo Tinkpad T410i. On HP Pavillion dv4-1125nr, it
works fine for admin as well as standard users.
Can anyone help on
this??
ThanksHave you tried checking the properties of the programs and under the compatibility tab to tick the run as admin? That should work.

Re: NB200-134 - FN key not working after upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate
My FN keys of NB200-134 is not working after upgrading from Windows 7 starter to Windows 7 ultimate. I tried installing every drivers found on Toshiba website for my lappy but still it does not work.
Help pleaseHi asalamk,
The FN keys are controlled by Value Added Package and Flash Cards Support Utility. I think you have forgotten to install these tools
You should check the Toshiba page again and download both tools. Start with installation of Value Added Package then restart your notebook. After this install Flash Cards Support Utility. Once again restart and all FN keys should work properly now. -
Games not working after upgrading to windows 10
My Laptop configuration is 8GB Ram,Intel i7 processor and 4GB Nvidia Graphics which is more than enough for running games like Batman Arkham, Portal, Skyrim etc. These games used to worked smoothly when I had windows 8.1, but after upgrading to windows 10 these games are not working/working very slowly. What to do?
one more thing. I was not able to download cleanup tool/online scanner too. but may be it has something to do with my internet bandwidth. and other strange thing i observed is that before restart i was not even able to turn off all security features. but after restart that problem seems to be corrected.

Some mp3 files do not play after upgrading to iTunes 8.0
some mp3 files do not play after upgrading to iTunes 8.0
have upgraded and some songs which used to play on iTunes 7 no longer play. album art is missing. when trying to play on of these songs, nothing appears in the playbar at the top of the window.
it seems the same problem exists in the mac os environment.The solution I discovered to fix this problem was to create a smart playlist with all song of a kind containing MPEG. Then I went through album by album, and coverted ID3 tags using the value of NONE. This then enabled me to play the songs in iTunes 8.0 and in many cases restored the Album Art.
Thanks! -

ISCSI initiator not connecting after upgradation
HI,
iSCSI initiator not connecting after upgradation from windows 2003 STD to windows 2008 STD R2 server, upgradation was successfully completed, except Microsoft iSCSI initiator connectivity, the initiaor interface show it as 'reconnecting'....!!!!!
Kindly guide on this.
Thanks in AdvanceHI Shaon Shan,
Thanks for the info.
While searching for the file names start with iscsi in c:\windows\system32 folder the file version is 5.2.3790.3825 in working windows 2003 server.
Recently I've downloaded (Not yet installed) iSCSI initiator for Windows 2008 from Microsoft website in that iSCSI initiator file version shown as 6.3.4.1, instead of using inbuilt Microsoft iSCSI initiator in W2K8, shall I try installing the downloaded
version,
because when I checked in Windows 2008 (Upgraded version) the iSCSI file version remains the same as 5.2.3790.3825 which was found in windows 2003.
Post to our previous discussion
While I'm trying to install the new iSCSI initiator for Windows 2008 downloaded from Microsoft website, it shows some error "Setupcould not find the update.inf file needed to update your system" then I've updated my server, but no luck still showing the
same....!!!! -
Windows could not start after SP-3 update
Windows could not start after SP-3 update
After I updated Apple Software Update to 2.1 and then updated to BC 2.1 successfully I D/L & Installed SP-3. Even got the Wizard & seemed to go OK. Got prompt “Installation Complete, Need to restart.” I did. I got a black screen with text:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\Windows\inf\biosinfo.inf
You can attempt to repair the file by starting Windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM. Select ‘r’ at the 1st screen to repair.
I used the power button to shut down Windows & then booted into Mac OS X normally.
I think I need to restart my Mac into Windows (using the Option key ) WHILE THE WINDOWS XP installation CD is in the optical Drive. Then maybe I’ll get a choice to select ‘r’ to repair at the 1st screen?
Has anyone done this with a similar error & successfully repaired their Windows installation? I don’t know if this is a Boot Camp problem or not. XP SP 2 had been working just fine.
Thanks for any help.Solved! It apparently was NOT a Boot Camp Issue. The fix was to obtain the file “biosinfo.inf” and from the Mac side, go into my WIndows XP HDD & add that file to: Windows/INF folder. (Yes, it was missing). Why my XP SP2 installation worked fine w/o this file is beyond my knowledge. Perhaps this file is needed only when doing a type of major update yet not needed for simply starting & running Windows? There are web pages stating that upgrading to SP 3 can cause this problem if using 3rd party software such as Norton Anti-Virus (I don’t have that but DO have Zone Alarm). There are also various complicated, long fixes out there. For me, replacing that file did the trick & everything seems fine now. (As far as where one “obtains” that file--long story)

Firefox would not connect after upgrade from verion 6 to version 7. Did system restore (XP) and now firefox wont even start
Sometimes Firefox will hang during startup or shutdown, and still be running invisibly in the background. Usually in that case, you need to "kill" it either by restarting Windows or using the Windows Task Manager. It sounds as though you are familiar with opening the Processes tab, finding firefox.exe, and using End Process.
If you use an advanced firewall or other security software that tracks which programs are permitted to use the internet, please see these articles:
* [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]
* [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]]
A couple of other suggestions:
(1) Can you start Firefox in its Safe Mode? Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. You should get a two-button dialog. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset). Any difference?
(2) In case your regular software missed something that is interfering with Firefox, try the scanning and clean-up tools listed in this article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] -
Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5
Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!
It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt. -
Ipohone 4 hotspot not working after upgrading to ios7.1 ?
my ipohone 4 hotspot not working after upgrading to ios7.1 but my some friends having iphone 4s its works fine and those having iphone 4 it's not working although we all have same operator and same operating system (i.e ios 7.1).I think this is problem only with iphone 4 users with ios 7.1 , so apple plz fix it in ur next update.
You don't like the answer?
Again it's not a bug, use a supported carrier if you want Personal Hotspot.
Read the list one more time, if carrier is not on the list, IOS7.1 patch the loophole.
