Windows 7 Partition not working?

Hello all, I have just received my Macbook Pro 15' i5. I installed Windows 7 64 bit using bootcamp yesterday and everything was working fine. Today while in Windows 7 I had microsoft word open as I was reviewing a text document, while performing a Bitdefender (Antivirus option that comes with the purchase of the Intego Internet Security Dual Protection) scan of virus because it kept prompting me to run a full scan of the computer. I performed a custom scan, only scanning the Windows Partition, then I proceeded to look over my text document, I was studying for an upcoming final. Then I go to the taskbar to check on the progress of the scan and that is where my computer froze up.
Pointer did not respond and the whole deal. I had to hold down the power button until my MBP shut down. I tried to boot again in my windows partition only to give me a black screen and not load at all, forcing me to shut down my MBP again.
Could anyone offer any advise as to what is going on or how to fix this? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

There is no Recovery Mode. There is a Recovery HD if you run Lion or later, and need to boot from it in order to make changes to the startup drive.
Boot Using Command+R keys:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.
To open Disk Utility simply select it from the menu of options then click on the Continue button. I think you may need to try doing this:
Click on the Add [+] button. This should create a new partition in the Empty Space. It should be possible, now, to change the sizes of each partition. If so, then select the bottom partition and click on the Delete [-] button. Now see if you cannot expand the upper partition to its full size. If you still cannot do this then the drive is too corrupted to do anything with but re-partition it from scratch.
Does your computer happen to have a Fusion Drive installed?

Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC    No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time on this matter.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I get errors saying A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.
That makes two similarities to the following thread. Both Windows Update and Troubleshooters fail to work correctly.

Self.close() or window.close() both not working in iOS8.0.2 safari

Both these function(self.close() and window.close()) are not working in safari.
These methods are used to close the tab currently opened.
So, if there is any workaround for this.

if you have programming questions then you should likely post them in the developer forums rather than the normal forums

New Release QuickVPN client 1.4.0.5 for windows 7 does not work????

New release of QuickVPN client version 1.4.0.5 for windows 7 is not working properly.
We can not connect; instead we receive this message:
"Remote Gateway is not responding, do you want to wait?"
Dear Cisco,,,,
Your release is not complete; please correct issue and advise after it has been tested.
Rgds, EM

Hi, first disable this POLSTORE.DLL again in your QuickVPN-Folder. Then start in this folder IPSEC.MSC and than IPSEC.EXE. You should get from IPSEC.EXE the error above. If not, than any other problem you have. Follow all the hints here in this thread.
If you get the same error above, than enable this POLSTORE.DLL again and start the IPSEC.EXE. You get the full info what has been gone. And within the IPSEC-Window for Local Computer you may find this FREESWAN-setting.
B.t.w. before I went this way I did export and import the IPSEC-settings from the XP-machine, as it was hinted some posts earlyer. But the way I have gone, works also with manualy deleting the FREESWAN config. With the IPSEC.EXE it will new generated in any case.
When you start via QuickVPN you may monitor also what happens within this IPSEC for Local Computer. Press F5 to keep it aktual.
From time to time the connection gets only succeeded after the second and more times. I have a very slow UMTS Internet-Access.
Juergen
Adding: These effects, getting not connected, first and during the VPN-Tunnel exists, has not changed since the top-first Version of Quick-VPN.
Dear customer, be patient, don't care about these stupid messages, click again or when the connection allready has succeeded through the VPN-tunnel do what you did like to do.
...... and again, with which configuration-scenario do the guys at Cisco test and develop .....
Fortunately, I never was a Cisco partner, only a poor user ;)

Windows 7 Updates not working since Infinity insta...

Hi All,
I've had Infinity for a week and Windows updates have not worked since. My permissions are the same and i have Admistrator access.
The error code is 80070005
I have done a system restore which has removed Explorer 9 and am still having the same problem
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Amanda

Same as the others my Win7 updates ok.
Hi,
The error code 80070005 usually means that you do not have enough permission to install updates.
First please confirm you have logged on an account with administrative privileges.
I suggest you to reset Windows update components and run Fix it.

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
or my usual solution for Windows Users.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck!

Is it me or?, Window Buttons Do Not Work When Clicked

Is it me or?, Window Buttons Do Not Work When Clicked
What is going on in Snow Leopard.
It seems Window buttons (X, -, +) Do Not Always Work when clicked.
Sometimes window does opens, closes, minimizes and often times it does not.
You have have re click like crazy

What app are you using?
Here's something strange I've noticed in Mail a couple times.
For some reason Mail opens several viewer windows all stacked on top of each other.
So while click the close button does close the window, there's an identical on behind it.
So it almost seems like clicking the close button has done nothing but it really has.
Could this be what your seeing?

Per window private browsing not working, still sharing cookies

Firefox 21, per window private browsing not working. The cookies are still shared among private browsing windows and tabs. Even with private tab addon, still not working.
If I log into google in one tab, I am still logged in with that account in new private tabs and private windows.

One more question about cookies in private browsing mode.
I don't like browse a web using usual mode 'cause I don't like tonns of sites in a history. But when I start with private mode every time I get empty set of cookies and this was not quite good for me 'cause some sites store its options needed for me. In a prev. versions of FF I solved this issue in such a way: I stored some cookies in a file and every time I started private browsing I loaded them from file. But now this method gives nothing: in cookies manager all set of "non private" cookies is shown both before importing and after importing them from a file and I need to reconfigure my sites every time I start private browsing.
I'm sorry for my English.

OS X: Windows 7 partition not mounted

Hi everyone,
I had previously dual booted my macbook with OS X and WinXP, i was able to view the WinXP partition through OS X on my desktop. I got my hands on Windows 7(Final Release) and now my macbook is dual booting OS X and Win7.
I cannot figure out why the Win7 partition is not mounting in OS X. I have research some possibilities as to why and how to mount it but nothing has worked.
I have tried to mount it using DISK UTILITY but I keep getting an error. I also tried using some command lines through TERMINAL but that did not work either.
If someone could please help me with understanding why I am not able to mount the Win7 partition in OS X, that would be very helpful.
Thank you for your time and support in advance,
LJ

Windows Vista Partition Not Showing Up in OSX

Hi,
I have a Windows Vista partition that is not visible under OSX, and I have MacFuse/NTFS-3G installed.
When I open up Disk Utility, I can see the Vista partition, named as "disk0s3" but when I try to mount it... it says "The disk 'disk0s3' could not be mounted".
If I use boot camp and load into Windows Vista, I can see my Macintosh HD fine using MacDrive... and I can read/write to it.
Anyone have any ideas as to why I can't mount my Vista partition in Leopard?
Thanks.

Yea, I tried Paragon NTFS, but the Vista partition doesn't show up in the list.
I'm starting to wonder if I checked on GUID partition (heard tht matters for boot camp) when I installed OSX and Windows Vista.
The drive that I have in my Macbook Pro right now is 500gb seagate momentus that I got from OWC. Ever since I re-installed everything on this new drive, I have not been able to see the partition.
On my older drive, the one that came with Macbook Pro, I could see the Windows partition.
Do you guys think the GUID option has something to do with it?

Windows 8 Trackpad Not Working - Other Solutions Didn't Help

Hello all,
I recently installed Windows 8 Pro 64-bit on my Mid '09 MacBook. I had Windows 7 and 8 installed before and working, so I know it is compatible. Unfortunately, my trackpad does not work at all; No clicking, moving, nothing. I tried other solutions like changing the driver to the USB Input Device, but that will not work. I manually installed the 64-bit drivers from BootCamp v5. Here is a picture of my Device Manager: http://puu.sh/2Abyy
As you can see, I am missing drivers for my Coprocessor and an Unknown Device (Which I believe is my Trackpad, but it could be something else)
Thanks in advance for your help.

The update to boot camp is now available!
Just installed Windows 8.1 Pro to my MacBook Pro, Retina, Mid 2012, OS X 10.8.5: Memory 16GB 1600MHz DDR3
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638
Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033
This solved the Trackpad Right Clicking issue (not working) as well as tapping.
The wireless and network connectivity issues where resolved as well. The Boot camp support software enabled a boot camp control panel available in the windows 8 system tray and from there you can enable the track pad to tap and use the secondary click.
