Yet another bootcamp problem after yosesmite

Hello all,
i'm one of the lucky people who have broken the win partition (win 8.1) with the update to last osx update. (the partition is/was of 50gb)
here are my output (i read some threads but i don't get what i can do after those two commands).

  • Yet another internet problem after updating to Leopard

    After 3 attempts, I've finally got Leopard installed on my Macbook Pro (just over 18 months old, was running Tiger perfectly well) and i STILL can't get internet access.
    The Airport says its connected but nothing loads at all - it won't send/receive messages, it won't load webpages, it just sits there doing nothing until eventually (often after half an hour or more) it'll tell me that the connection has timed out.
    I've done the following changes as suggested elsewhere on the internet -
    1. Changed IPv4 settings to manual and doublechecked these are correct - they weren't the first time round, it was inventing phantom numbers and confusing my router for the actual interwebs. So changed that.
    2. Turned IPv6 to Off on both airport and ethernet
    3. corrected DNS entries for the Airport - again left to its own devices it thinks the router's IP address is the DNS address. So I added the correct 2 plus the two from Open DNS for good measure. I've tried different combinations of all 4, only the router two, only the open DNS 2 and so on and so forth and it still won't work!
    4. tried restarting several times after each change.
    5. double checked i don't have any of the .plist files from Tiger that might be interfering.
    6. checked for a trojan horse
    7. checked my router is working (it is).
    And, nothing worked. It's still rubbish and does nothing. I wish I had never spent the money on the stupid upgrade and am never going to do it again!
    Can anyone help?!
    I've got 10.5.4 and then I patched it with the 10.5.5 Combo update too. I went for an Erase and Install option too. I'm not the most mac savvy person around, so please be gentle!
    TIA.

    I've checked, double checked, triple checked, tested, quadruple checked... My router is working perfectly, it works with my blackberry, friends laptops, my PC... just not my Mac. All the addresses are correct - left to its own devices the laptop with Leopard on it will NOT use the correct info for the DHCP or any other address. It uses incorrect information, confusing the Router itself with the actual internet (basically all the address fields that are meant to point you at, like, "the internet" will instead just point you to the router and the router of course replies with Hey man, whaddya want? I'm just a router... so nothing happens). Changing that gave me some internet access where previously it wasn't getting any. But all webpages take forever to load - often not loading at all - and after about 10 minutes of occasionally working the whole thing will pack up.
    I flat out refuse to fork out £300 for a new router just because Apple decided to make their new OS incompatible with anything but Time Capsule (as I suspect is probably the case given loads of people are having the same problems and there's been a noticeable silence on the subject from Apple). So I guess I'll be wiping the macbook AGAIN and reinstalling Tiger from the recovery disc.
    Next computer - back to a windows PC! I'm sure Microsoft are loving Leopard.

  • Another major problem after 10.4.8 update

    Hi everyone,
    I've never had any major problem with any Mac OS update yet until I had the crazy idea to install the 10.4.8 update last week. I wish I would have never done this. This is also the first time I wish I had Windows since I can't remember such a big screw up with any Windows update I've seen.
    But back to the problem, after the installation on my old 12" Powerbook (1.33GHz with an additional 1GB of RAM) the system got really slow. The harddisk was accessed all the time, so after reading some forums people said that Spotlight would run a re-index of the database which made sense to me. So I just let it run over night and the next day the permanent HDD access was gone, but whenever I tried to access a folder it took ages (HDD access again...). So I decided to reboot which took about 20 minutes until the desktop fully showed up and was useable. Again, I had HDD access all the time. After two hours or so it stopped again, but as soon as I clicked on something, for example a folder, it started again. At that point the Powerbook was simply not useable anymore because I couldn't even start a program.
    So I start browsing through several forums and many people suggested to re-install the 10.4.8 combo update again. That's what I tried, after a while I could only hear the HDD access running and running. The installer said 29 minutes left and progress bar didn't move any further. I had it running for over a hour like that. I couldn't abort it, I could start no other software, nothing. It still showed 29 minutes and the HDD was accessed all the time.
    So I restarted the Powerbook since this obviously wasn't going anywhere. Apple logo came up, the little gear spinning thing as well and of course I could hear the HDD being accessed. After two hours of doing this I aborted and decided to boot into safe mode to install the combo update. Again, same situation. HDD running like crazy and Apple logo, but no login screen coming up.
    So I decided to boot from the Install disk and have the disc utility check the HDD... but of course after selecting the language and clicking continue at the screen when the HDD first shows up it starts to access the HDD... I can't select the HDD, I can't even get to the DU, nothing. It's been running like that for hours now. It seems like whenever the HDD is involved in something the accessing starts and just keeps running without any result. The HDD is getting very hot already.
    I've never run into such a problem before, so I'm kinda clueless what to do next. I don't mind to reinstall, but I have some files on that HDD that I need (some notes in text files, some emails and so on).
    So at this point I can't boot into OS X to access the HDD and I can't use the installer disk to access DU or even reinstall if I wanted to. I don't think the HDD is broken, this only happened after the 10.4.8 update. It just seems that every HDD access takes hours and hours longer than it should.
    What options do I have to get my data from the disk? I'll try to install OS X to a new external drive tomorrow (need one with firewire first). If that doesn't help I thought about pulling out the HDD from the Powerbook and hook it up to my MacMini or an iMac.
    If anyone has any other suggestion or solved a similar problem before, please let me know.
    Best,
    Stephan

    The Apple Bootcamp implementation uses a Hybrid MBR, which has a limit of 4 partitions. OSX utilities use GPT, while Windows uses MBR scheme.
    When you installed you-know-what, it removed the Hybrid MBR and put the entire disk into a Protective MBR as your fdisk shows.
    Option 1.
    1. Backup your Windows partition to an external disk using OSX side. You may not be able to use it again.
    2. Please backup your Mavericks side via Time Machine.
    3. Please remove you-know-what from your system, and the corresponding GPT partitions.
    4. Erase your disk, and re-store from 2 and re-install Windows.
    Option 2.
    1. Backup your Windows partition to an external disk using Winclone. You may not be able to use it again.
    2. Please backup your Mavericks side via Time Machine.
    3. Please remove you-know-what from your system, and the corresponding GPT partitions.
    4. Erase your disk, and re-store from 2 and re-install Windows via Winclone.
    Option 3.
    1. Backup your Windows partition to an external disk using OSX side. You may not be able to use it again.
    2. Please backup your Mavericks side via Time Machine.
    3. Please remove you-know-what from your system, and the corresponding GPT partitions.
    4. Create a new Hybrid MBR, with appropriate information and bring up Windows, using Startup Repair, if necessary.
    Option 4.
    1. Backup your Windows partition to an external disk using OSX side. You may not be able to use it again.
    2. Please backup your Mavericks side via Time Machine.
    3. Create a new Hybrid MBR (different from Option 3), with appropriate information and bring up Windows, using Startup Repair, if necessary.

  • YAPP (Yet Another Printing Problem)

    I've found another printing problem - this time with colour printing.
    To my
    surprise, Forte (3.0.E.0) can print in colour (at least on a HP 690C,
    using
    NT drivers for the 660C, the printer being connected to a Win95
    machine).
    I can print OK with from my NT develpoment machine in colour, but when
    running
    the same app from the Win95 client with the printer attached locally the
    coloured text disappears. Has anyone else come across this problem?
    Is this another of the 'Printing works fine as long as it happens
    non-locally?'
    features?
    Thanks

    I wonder if this is related to the printing feature I discovered
    where things I print from Forte have a strong tendency to come out in
    the same colours as my windows desktop, which is
    typically yellow-on-black.

Then the option to pick the Partition to install windows comes in ( Drive: C BootCamp ) I am not given the option to format it. I cannot pick NTFS. BootCamp had already made the Partition FAT32. If I choose that partition BootCamp made as FAT 32 it will begin reading files from the CD. Then when it reboots where I expect it to continue the Installation, I get That error message you mentioned.
    Before When I had Mac OS XS Tiger and BootCamp Beta, I was able to have that option to choose format and everything would work flawlessly. All of this began after BootCamp Automatically partitions the the space in FAt 32. I am completely stumpted.

    I just spent the weekend dealing with this.
    Credit to this Austrian guy diagonalinho who posted this above. I had a little trouble understanding his instructions (looks like English is not his first language) so I am posting the summary that I wrote for another person having the same problem. Credit goes to diagonalinho though.
    First, I think someone already mentioned that the reason you are having the problem is because Boot Camp Assistant formatted the XP partition as FAT32. It needs to be NTFS. Windows Setup is supposed to ask you how to format the new partition (see page 13 of the Boot Camp manual). If your experience is like mine, Windows Setup never asks that question. It simply goes from you selecting the C: drive (Boot Camp manual page 11) to the installation process (a blue screen yellow bar marking progress as things are copied to the partition).
    Here is a link to the manual that I'm referring to if you don't have it already: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/BootCampInstall-Setup.pdf
    I do not know why the format step is being skipped in some installs but not in all. Call it an "undocumented feature" (e.g., bug).
    Here is how to fix it:
    Boot Camp Assistant should have instructed you to insert the XP CD in the drive and then it will restart. This is what you want. After some time, you will get a blue screen with white text in the upper left hand corner that says "Windows Setup." On the bottom of the screen there will be some words telling you this and that is loading. Keep an eye on this. It will slowly list a bunch of things that it is loading. Toward the end, it will say something like "Starting Windows Setup." At this point, press and hold the F10 button. Keep holding it until you get a black screen with white text.
    You are now in the Recovery Manager. You will be asked what volume you want. The only choice you should have is 1. This is your new Windows partition, it is not your Mac OS partition. YYou may safely type "1" (without quotes) and press return. Then, the prompt will look like this:
    C:\WINDOWS\
    At the prompt, you type "cd.." (without quotes) and press return, the prompt will now look like this:
    C:\
    Now, we are going to reformat your windows partition as NTFS. To do so, at the prompt type the following without quotation marks "format c: /fs:ntfs" When typed into the prompt, it will look like this (pay close attention to spacing)
    C:\format c: /fs:ntfs
    It will give you a warning and ask if you are sure. Type "y" and press return. It will take some time to format and you will see a percentage counter counting up from 1% to 100%. When it is done, you will be back at the C:\ prompt where you will just type "exit" and press return.
    Now, Windows Setup should proceed normally.

  • IPod Touch (yet another) syncing problem contacts, address book

    I have a new 2nd gen Touch 8g. I am trying to sync to my MacBook Pro. Would like to sync all my contacts and calendar info from my old Palm, but that is not my question today. I am unable to sync my Address Book and iCal information to Contacts and Calendar on the Touch. Specifics:
    - OS X is 10.5.6
    - iTunes is 8.1, recently updated
    - iTouch software is 2.2.1, recently updated
    - Address Book is 4.1.1
    - iCal is 3.0.6
    I can "sync" using iTunes. It backs up the Touch. It syncs the music. It doesn't sync the Address Book or Contacts properly.
    History:
    - At first, I set it to sync the Address Book and Contacts (not Calendar and iCal). It would go through the sync process until "Updating Contacts with..." It would hang there overnight. This happened when there were 200+ contacts in Address Book on the Mac but none on the Touch. I cancelled after overnight hours and found none on the Touch.
    - Deleted all Address Book contacts. Now there were none on either Mac or Touch. Still would spin the "Updating Contacts with..." for hours.
    - Set iTunes to sync both Address Book and iCal. Added 1 simple contact in Address Book. Added 1 event in iCal. Synced. The sync completed but nothing was transferred between the Mac and the Touch.
    - Added 1 contact in Contacts on Touch and 1 event in Calendar on Touch. Synced. Each still had 1 contact, 1 event, but not the same ones.
    - Set iTunes to replace the information on the iPod (one time). The sync completed, and erased the contact and calendar event on the Touch, and put the 1 iCal event onto the Touch (yea!) but not the contact from Address Book (boo!).
    - Tried multiple more times. I can add a calendar event on the Touch, but it never appears on iCal on the Mac. I can add a contact on the Touch or in Address Book on the Mac, but the two never sync up to show on the other.
    Other details:
    - I don't use Google Contacts or Calendar
    - I don't use MobileMe (or really know what it is yet)
    - I did use iSync to try to sync all my Palm info (not successfully), but stopped trying and reset the sync history, just in case.
    - I don't use USB hubs, and I do the sync with just the Touch attached via the cable it came with directly into the MacBook Pro.
    - I've read hundreds of posts here and elsewhere. I've restarted programs multiple times. I've updated software. I've tried following the advice of all the posts I could, even if they weren't precisely what I was experiencing.
    Does anyone have any brilliant ideas as to what I should try next? I bought this thing to replace my Palm as my PDA, but it won't be any good unless I can sync the darn thing. I've been working on this for almost 3 days straight and am going bug eyed reading all the info on the web. ANY help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I managed to get the sync to work after much shutting down and restarting, of programs and the computer. I cleared the iSync history just in case. I closed programs, etc. Eventually, it just worked and has continued to do so ever since. It is not slow, but rather quick.
    All is well.
    Now, the conversion from Palm is another story.....

  • Yet another printing problem 'EOF' errors

    This problem is probably both a Leopard and Adobe problem combined. It's a rather complicated problem, but the bottom line is that (to most printers) the jobs coming out of one of our Mac Pros cause the printers to crash and restart themselves giving an 'EOF Error (End of File)' on at least one of them. The problem also appears to affect PDF documents created in InDesign which will then cause the same errors on any computer it is printed from.
    Things you may need to know and that I've already tried:
    • The same printers with the same drivers printing the same files will work on other Mac Pros of the same version with the same version of Leopard.
    • Using a generic driver will print properly, however this is not a workaround because we need duplexing provided by the driver and I'm not sure how this could fix the PDF problem.
    • Fonts have been disabled and checked with Font Doctor.
    • Starting up in 'Safe Mode' will allow printing, but without fonts or links on server volumes.
    • Switching the hard drive with another identical Mac Pro brought the problem with the HD, worked on other. In other words, the problem is definitely in the software and not a hardware problem.
    • Reset the printing system numerous times.
    • Re-installed the OS, Adobe CS3, and a couple of documents - same problem with no added extensions. Other computer with tons of extensions and fonts, etc. - no problem.
    • Plain text documents print fine.
    • Some PostScript documents will print, but rarely.
    • Will not print to HP LaserJet 2420, Minolta Di650 Fiery, ABDick Platemaker.
    • WIll print to Kodak DigiMaster (three different models and versions)
    Everything that I think sounds like it could be the problem is disproved by the fact that several other Mac Pros with the exact same configuration have no problem. I'm thinking about cloning another Mac Pro system that works and seeing if I can go about it that way.
    Apple support was no help. Nor was Adobe. They tried to be helpful, but there is no logic to solving this one. This has been going on for over a week now and I've tried so many things. It's driving me crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It was actually just a commonly used font that had gone bad somehow. Problems like that are always fonts or links. Sometimes they just aren't as obvious. We thought we'd checked everything and it affected so many of her files because she used the font so often.

  • Yet another network problem (SIOCADDRT: No such process)

    After IP address of router in my apartment changed I have troubles with bringing up my network connection. I changed my gateway address and now it fails with:
    :: Starting Network [BUSY]
    SIOCADDRT: No such process
    [FAIL]
    however
    $route add <gateway ip> eth0
    temporarily solves the problem:
    [dreamer_@dream02 ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/network start
    :: Starting Network [DONE]
    any ideas how should I repair this to start my network automatically?

    the only thing that changed is gateway ip (previous was 192.168.13.something). I was playing with different netmasks and broadcast ranges but it didn't help
    The problem is in the lines:

    If you are using DHCP the line ROUTES=(gateway) should read ROUTES=(!gateway) <-- notice the !

  • Wine and yet another font problem

    So I upgraded my system (had to load lots of stuff, Xorg, Wine, the kernel..) and now my Wine fonts look like this:
    http://koti.kapsi.fi/anpurola/winecfg.png
    Some fonts are ok, but most of them are unreadable. I mostly run poker clients. I tried to delete my .wine directory, and install fonts again with winetricks, didn't help.
    Does this have something to do with the new Xorg? I had to remove RgbPath and AutoAddDevices from xorg.conf BTW, to get it work.

  • Yet Another NVIDIA Problem(TM)

    Since I updated XFree86 a week or so ago, it just keeps failing to initialise the NVIDIA module. I tried X.Org, which does exactly the same. Looking at the log, everything seems to start up properly with no errors, but suddenly it decides to give up, no reason given.
    I have just discovered that if I uninstall, reinstall and modprobe the the NVIDIA drivers, it works! Until I reboot. Then, no matter what I try, it will not work at all! So I have to uninstall, reinstall and modprobe each time I reboot.
    Very weird is all I can say.

    Well, I had done that, but the point was that once I restarted, whether the nvidia modules was loaded by /etc/rc.sysinit or manually with modprobe, it would not work (but modprobe did not report any errors). The /dev/nvidia* devices do not show up.
    Seems the problem is with UDev (maybe I needed to configure something for it?). I have switched back to DevFS for now, and it works again (X.Org). I had forgotten when I posted that I had also switched to UDev at the same time...
    I still have another slightly related problem. I recently (yesterday) had this idea that maybe I should try get my (hardly ever used) Lucent winmodem working under Linux for the odd times I use dial-up. Drivers were easy to find (http://linmodems.org/). This worked under UDev, but then stopped working when I restarted (grr), the same as NVIDIA, whether they were in MODULES or whether I modprobe'd 'em. I actually got KPPP to dial on /dev/modem and it would have authorised had I bothered to configure PPP daemon first ;-) Didn't work under DevFS either, even though the install script had added a rule in /etc/modprobe.conf to alias /dev/modem which doesn't materialse. The device does appear at /dev/tts/LTM0 but KPPP can't dial on it.

  • Bootcamp problem after unistalling Ubuntu

    Hi guys, after I uninstalled Ubuntu from a Bootcamp partition, my MacPro keep on go on that partition at startup. Of course I receive black screen, so I´m forced to push Alt key down during the boot, but I can see just the icon of Macintosh HD. That´s pretty annoying ´cause if I forget to push Alt key I receive black screen and I have to force Mac to shut off and start all over again.
    Any idea if I can solve this or do I have to format?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Yet another fan problem

    hey everyone ... i've recently did a complete reinstall of arch on my laptop for 'maintenance' purposees. Now, while I think i've got everything pretty reconfigured exactly as it was before, there is something .. well .. different, about my fan !
    Even though i'm 99% positive that ive got all /etc files setup just as they were, that ive got all necessary modules up & running, my fan doesnt seem to be responding in the same way. My CPU isnt really running any hotter than before, but because the fan doesnt react to the higher temps, it gets hotter faster than before, and takes forever too cool down after effort..
    I like this laptop & paid lotsa bucks for it, and wouldnt want it to deprecate faster because of heating problems. So, what controls the fan and why might you think it fails to respond to the temps ? ...

    more: ive just noticed /proc/acpi/fan/FAN0/state will not buldge from 'off' ...... its 'off' all the freakin time ...... dmesg says its setting state to 'D3' .......
    anyway, now i got proof fan is always off. cause thing is, even when its on, its not blowing that hard, nor is it very noisy. so i wasnt sure, but now i am ...
    anyways, lm sensors cant seem to find any modules for my fan. and i just cant find any info anywhere on how to get acpi to run my fan ... i guess it should be a mix of events/actions but which and how ???!>

  • Yet another htmlText problem!

    As I know htmlText has it's plethora of problems, I have been able to work around a few of them. However, after trying many different things, I cannot seem to fix this one:
    <mx:Text htmlText="{_articleText}" width="100%" fontSize="12" color="0x282828" />
    In the script, I set _articleText = "<img src='"+dataProvider.imageURL(_model.account.id)+"' align='"+dataProvider.imageAlignment+"' />"+dataProvider.body;
    This is fine, the image aligns to the left or right and is loaded in correctly, but I notice the element cuts off 3-4 lines of text from the bottom. It just looks like it disappeared, but if you highlight and scroll down you can see that the text is there, but the element is miscalculating the height.
    Apparently it is due to the measure method of text not taking into account leading? How can I work around this?
    Thanks.

    Oh, and one other question..
    Is there any way to put a border on an image in htmltext? I suppose border="1" and padding="2" were too complex to include in the htmlText language for whatever reason, so I was wondering if there is a different way?
