Windows 7 to 8 upgrade - two recommended actions prior to upgrading
I’ve just updated my T410s to Windows 8 pro from Windows 7 Ultimate. There were two issues during the first, failed, upgrade attempt.
During the first attempt the upgrade failed without a clear indication of what went wrong. After a few tests and a lot of time I determined that it was related to either the Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility or the Intel® PROSet/Wireless Bluetooth® Software. A check on the Intel site turned this up:
http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-033854.htm
which says ‘Intel recommends uninstalling all wireless software applications before upgrading to Windows 8’
So my recommendations for additional software to uninstall, in addition to those listed by Lenovo, are:
(1) Uninstall the Lenovo autoscroll utility before upgrading as the Win 8 removal process failed.
(2) Uninstall the Intel PROset/Wireless components then install the Intel drivers only using the Intel installer available from the Intel site.
Normally, is recommended to uninstall *any* driver before upgrading.
Cheers.
If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

Upgrading to 10.6 from 10.4. Have to maintain a windows partition. Any special install actions??
Are there any special actions or gotchas when upgrading from 10.4 to 10.6 when a Windows partition has been installed and must be maintained?
A similar thread to read https://discussions.apple.com/message/10720917#10720917
My post in there still stands: I didn't had any problems doing the upgrade but nonetheless recommend to have/make a backup of your WIndows partition or at least of your valuable files and data prior to upgrade to Snow Leopard.

Windows 7, Magic mouse, two finger swipe action
I'm using the 27" iMac.
Does the newer bootcamp supports two finger swipe action on the magic mouse on Windows 7?
Also, the scrolling action works but I can't seem to control the speed of the scrolling.
Are these normal at this point?Hi,
if not already done, install the BC Driver update 3.1 http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/windows/
Have a look here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3039

Error (23317)
The operation Change properties of virtual machine is not permitted on a virtual machine that has shared virtual hard disks.
Recommended Action
The operation Change properties of virtual machine is not permitted on a virtual machine that has shared virtual hard disks.
Is this limitation by design? If we have a shared VHDX between two VMs, then I am not able to change the VM properties from SCVMM.
SCVMM 2012 R2 with Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V.
Appreciate any help !
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
InsideVirtualization.comHello,
that is a VMM issue.
If you did not deploy your virtual cluster from a VMM service template, VMM doesn't recognize the configuration.
Until MS got it fixed, you could use the workaround from system center central:

What to do prior to upgrading to Leopard from Tiger on an iMac G5
So with the iphone coming and requiring 10.5 + i needed to up from my ancient tiger to leopard. I thought i'd get my parents mac mini too while i'm in the upgrade mode. I did the mac mini first so i could "test" on them in case of bad things....sure enough. errors, issues, and it said it must reformat. the cool thing was that my parents didn't really store anything on there so i went ahead with that. Now though I need to do the iMac G5 (mine), I'd really rather not have to reformat etc. but will if need be. i've copied my hd to an external and have a copy of everything (so i think).
What else do i need to do in case or before I upgrade the OS?
The leopard disc is 10.5.6 from the box set i got.Before a major upgrade:
First: Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Second: Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive.
Source means the internal startup drive.
Third: *Install the upgrade*
For greater protection install the upgrade on the clone. If all is well then you can install the upgrade on your main drive.
I would upgrade any third-party software for compatibility with the new OS X version prior to the upgrade. -
Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz
Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz
I am using os x 10.4.11.
Do I need to upgrade to 10.5.xx? Will this platform suport 10.6.xx? If 10.6 will work do I need to install 10.5 first?
Thanks...Hi. Your computer can be upgraded to either Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6. 10.6 will be much easier to find and will be less expensive. Leopard is not required prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard.

trying to install an update patch for Citrix xendesktop 7.5 and the error when I click on the msi patch is "the upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch
may update a different version of the program"
The application was installed 2 days prior and works fine but the patch will not install.
Any ideas?
Wendy2014Yes let's see if there is any error occurs in installation log.
Meanwhile from the error message, the possible cause is that a part of the application is missing such as a registry key with app version. In this situation you can first test to reinstall/repair the application though it is still working fine - see if issue
persists after reinstall the app.
Meanwhile you could also contact Citrix about this issue. It may be a common issue and Citrix may provide a quick fix for it.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected] -
Two main windows in smartform or two loops in one main window?
Hello All,
I have requirement in smartform where i want to print two diffrent data header and item data in the same page.
and in between these two data i want one template to be printed for item data .
Smartform is giving me error if i use two main windows
if i use two loop nodes in the main window thn how to restrict the data getting over flowed to template(item data)
scenario is
header data****
**item header**
item data****
Pls comment....
Regards,
SunnyAs main window can only be one, so try it this way:
Under main window create a TEXT1 for header text( first header) than a LOOP1 for looping the header table, under that first create a TEXT2 for header data, than below it create another TEXT3 for header text ( Second header), than below it add a LOOP2 for looping item table and in that add a where condition than under it a TEXT4 for item data .
MAIN_WINDOW
TEXT1 " first header
LOOP1 " header table
TEXT2 " header data
TEXT3 " Second header
LOOP2 " item table with where condition
TEXT4 " item data
With luck,
Pritam. -
Problem when try to use ACSE+ Windows AD to authenticate two kind of WLAN c
I met a problem when try to use ACSE+ Windows AD to authenticate two kind of WLAN clients:
1. Background:
We have two WLAN: staff and student, both of them will use PEAP-MSCHAPv2, ACSE will be the Radius server, it will use Windows AD's user database. In AD, they create two groups: staff and student. The testing account for staff is staff1, the testing account for student is student1.
2. Problem:
If student1 try to associate to staff WLAN, since both staff and student WLAN using the same authentication method, the auth request will be send to AD user database, since student1 is a valid user account in AD, then it will pass the authentication, then it will join the staff WLAN. How to prevent this happen?
3. Potential solution and its limitation:
1) Use group mapping in ACSE(Dynamic VLAN Assignment with WLCs based on ACS to Active Directory Group Mapping), but ACS can only support group mapping for those groups that have no more than 500 users. But the student group will definitely exceed 500 users, how to solve it?
2) Use methods like âRestrict WLAN Access based on SSID with WLC and Cisco Secure ACSâ: Configure DNIS with ssid name in NAR of ACSE, but since DNIS/NAR is only configurable in ACSE, don't know if AD support it or not, is there any options in AD like DNIS/NAR in ACSE?
Thanks for any suggestions!I think the documentation for ACS states:
ACS can only support group mapping for users who belong to 500 or fewer Windows groups
I read that as, If a user belongs to >500 Windows Group, ACS can't map it. The group can have over 500 users, its just those users can't belong to more than 500 groups. -
Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About 2-3 days ago ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET4.0C)I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
Here is a run-down of my process:
0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
Hope this helps. -
After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.
The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update? -

Using Audition 2.0 on Windows XP platform. Now have Windows 8.1 on new computer and need to upgrade and load latest version of Audition. Any suggestions? Many thanks, R.
VC6. is rather old, but you can try to convert the VC6 project using the upgrade wizard of VC2012. Depending on the content of the project your code will work more or less without problems, at least it will compile without errors.
You could also go the 2nd way and create in VC2012 a project type using the wizard that is very similar to your current VC6 projcet (MDI, SDI, Dialog Based, ...). Than you replace the files generated by the wizard with the content of your project. Sometimes
this way is more successful.
But at all the automated converting success depends on the code of your VC6 project. I had both, conversions without big problems and also conversions that need a lot changes to run on a current VC version.
Best regards
