• Should I upgrade Mavericks 10.9.5 to ElCapitan or later operating system or stay where I am?

  why I'm hesitant to upgrade is because of the bad experience I had with the iPhone 4 when I upgraded to 7.1.2 it more slowly and often freeze and stuck and Apple wouldn't help but say to buy the latest iPhone and former bin. Why could I do when my phone was in good condition and I didn't lose my money to buy a new simply because Apple wanted to sell the new iPhones.

  I won't repeat the same mistake by elevating the mavericks to the latest operating system if facing the same problem.

  Please guide me what to do?

  Thank you very much

  I recommend that you stay on the Mavericks. I was running Mavericks and I regret the upgrade. I'm on El Capitan, and I don't like one bit. If I could, I would go back to the Mavericks.

  I find El Capitan slow and I got much more kernel panics since I've updated. No I'm talking about has this problem but it is irritating me so.

  I also find the design of the Mavericks to be easier on the eyes. I find the Park Yosemite and El Capitan (and soon Sierra) be difficult to watch, colorful and bright.

  This is just my opinion, however, you must actually visit an Apple Store and look for yourself and compare El Capitan to the Mavericks.

• Frequent crashes on all operating systems

  Hi, I think that what I have is a hardware problem.

  I have a 2012 end iMac that breaks down several times a day, but after some time after installation of operating systems, it becomes slower. I posted my problem in many places, but only in the context of bootcamp, because I haven't used OS x that much. I wanted to get Windows to work if I could go back and forth between the two operating systems and after that it does not work most of the time I use my old computer and tempting to ignore the problem.

  First, I will describe what happens under Windows since I saw him most. A program freezes. At this point, I noticed that I can't quit all applications. My internet disconnects. Other programs are starting to freeze. When I try to use the start menu, it does nothing and almost everything freezes. That's when I realize what is about to happen. If I wait about an hour, my computer will eventually BSoD, usually with a kernel_data_inpage_error, but sometimes with others. The strangest part of this all is that I can use my mouse long after all broke, and sometimes I can even use, say, Chrome, although certainly, I can't go out, and when I try to go to a website he tries, but fails to cause that there is not WiFi. Sometimes it shows which driver caused the exception (varies, of course), sometimes not. This happens with or without devices, but it * maybe (probably not) * occur more frequently when I have a connected USB drive. What I tried: install different versions of Windows 15 + total time, mixing how the drive is formatted (bootcamp partition vs Windows install wipes player then internet OS X recovery), version of Windows, diskchk + SeaTools (as say all is well), etc. there is no landfill and there is no log in Event Viewer, no matter how to configure it.

  I know it of an Apple forum, for most of you probably don't specialize in Windows, which is what I have observed most, but I had no luck on the forums of Windows, if I have not a thread going right now. I can't find anyone else who has this problem. On OS X, but I don't think it was as much before, lately it's been blocked frequently, and the symptoms are what I imagine would be a version Mac - ey from what I see on Windows. An individual program will freeze, saying Dota 2. I can still pass the screens with ctrl-arrow, but after a minute that breaks. Things are starting to disappear and finally my screen turns black with only my cursor. I've not waited for hours to see what happens at the end, but I'm guessing it will be Mac version of a BSoD. I checked the console and I saw nothing that stands out, but I'm not nearly as much experience compared to the event viewer.

  What can I do to try to solve this problem? Sometimes the driver BSoD watch is partmgr.sys, suggesting it has something to do with the hard drive itself, but as an iMac, I can not exactly crack it open and take a look at the cables. Unfortunately I don't have extra money now to buy an external hard drive to install Windows to test. Unfortunately, my warranty has long been upward, which is really frustrating because that's happened since I got it. I should have pursued the issue more away a long time ago. If I explain my problem do you think I could always send it to check?

  Thanks for reading. Any idea is appreciated.

  There is a separate instance of Boot Camp.  I asked that this thread moved here.

  You might want the extended hardware test that came with the Mac.

  If no problem is there, and a deletion and installation of Windows and Mac OS X give the same breaks down, you can have a RAM problem.

  Note the spinning beach balls are not always signs of a problem.  You can simply have run out of hard drive space.

  http://www.etrecheck.com on Mac OS X is a good diagnostic tool that can tell us if you installed anything on Mac OS X, which can be it slows down, or if you are near capacity.

• Why the books are grouped and preinstalled with the operating system?

  It's complaints

  My Portege has Windwosw Vista. I didn't want to buy Vista, but they were only selling with him and no other choice was possible to purchase.

  First of all, my laptop had problems to install Windows updates. I could not connect my institution's Internet System. I had to reinstall the system again.
  It's a waste of time!

  After re-installation of the button for the sound on the outside Panel does not work correctly.

  Also, when I try to stop the laptop sometimes it restarts itself - he doesn't stop!

  Secondly, I had a problem with the laptop, when an opportunity to visit a well-known site, it serves to block itself.
  Once, when he is blocked, I had to restart and its screen remained black. They took for repair. It was delivered later - repaired, but with a defect on the screen!
  What a... workers!

  When I bought this laptop he had an offer with the update of Vista with Windows 7 after their release.
  Wonderful. But just note, Toshiba has the highest price of the offer, compared to its competitors - 30 (or £) against 15 for others, which of course I'm not going to pay.

  I already paid for Vista, which is incredible, and I knew, but I had not choice not to buy!

  All right, so there is still competition in the market, several possibilities are present - install Windows cracked, switch to Linux or just buy an Apple!

  Please, take this comment seriously! And please, stop with group buying, no matter what the benefit is. It won't work for long.

  Hi mate

  Fact is that most of the laptop manufacturers sell the computer and laptop computer with a preinstalled operating system. So I wouldn't blame Toshiba or other brands for which

  You get a new computer/laptop with a new OS.
  During the past 20 years, Microsoft released 3.0 Win, Win 95, Win 98, Win NT, W2k, Win XP, Win ME, Vista and Win 7, I remember that all my computers or laptops were grouped with these operating systems

  Toshiba offers the notebook with a clean image and you can also create a recovery disk (so don t need to buy anything if you need t n)
  Of course, each of us can install a clean OS, but there are a lot of people who are happy with such image pre-installed because everything is pre-installed and configured.

  Many people have no knowledge of computer wide and are really recognizing that everything is pre-installed and the configuration does not have a lot of time

  With regard to the question of the laptop;
  What to say; you had a bad luck that something was wrong with the laptop. This can still happen that my new LCD TV other manufacturer, was dead after two weeks, I called ASP, then replaced the screen now is ok

  Pass Vista (requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM) and install Windows 7 (just 1 GB of memory for the 32-bit version).  If you buy the "Full" version (not the upgrade version) from Windows 7, you can Dual Boot between XP and Windows 7 (not all XP software will be running in Windows 7 and dual-boot will allow you to continue to use any software that you place a high value on the). More information on dual-boot below.

  You must first check if your Windows XP-based computer supports Windows 7  Go the the computer manufacturing technical support web site and see if they list Windows 7 device drivers. No driver Windows 7 means that you can not (the most often install Windows 7, if this isn't the case find Vista drivers).

  Windows 7 requires a "Custom install / Clean, then Yes, Windows 7 installation will remove your hard drive with the exception of a Windows.old folder XP.» Before you attempt to upgrade, you should check if your computer can run Windows 7, but download the compatibility checker.

  If none of the problems you encounter are material related to a new installation cannot fix this.

  Have you check the web site of the manufacturer of your computer for Windows XP device drivers updated.

  Access the Dell support web site and search for Windows XP drivers for your specific model number.
  Using your Dell's Service tag number is the fastest way to get the correct drivers.
  http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=Gen

  If there is then Windows XP Download drivers to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them.
  beginning with the card mother/chipset drivers, SATA, Firewire (1394), LAN, Audio, etc, and so on.

  Updates BIOS (optional, only if necessary upgrade):
  You should check to see if there was one, or sometimes several updates BIOS for the motherboard.
  Read (if provided) which solves the update. Sometimes a newer BIOS update will fix the problem.
  Read the instructions on how to your BIOS update/flash with a lot of attention and be of more
  you understand the process.
  Note: Do not forget that there is a risk of a bad flash/update occurs which can make your system unbootable.

• Move from Vista to Windows 7 AND transfer on a different hard disk operating system

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit and in the same movement of time the OS Vista Home Premium 32-bit & a Seagate 80 GB HARD drive to two 250 GB hard drives in a RAID configuration. I intend to replace the 80 GB HARD disk with a faster drive Windows XP, so I find myself with a dual-boot system.  Apart from the exchange of small hard drives, the system will be unchanged compared to when I activated Vista.  Since it seems I have to reinstall all the programs on W7 in any case (damn and the breath), I wonder if it will be necessary (for reasons of product activation) or useful (for operational reasons) to first clone Vista to the larger players. I am aware that Seagate provides cloning software, also free that 250 GB seems a little bit today - but he will do well while this PC is still working. In case it is relevant, the Vista is OEM (I built the PC and I bought Vista with the motherboard), but I will get the retail version of Windows 7.  Most experts with thanks...

  Hello
   
  We cannot move the operating system from one hard disk to another. However, we can install the operating system on another hard drive or take the whole operating system if necessary system image backup.
  NOTE: You'll have to do a custom Setup to upgrade to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
  Windows Backup gives you the opportunity to create a system image, which is an exact image of a disk. A system image includes Windows and your control panel, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working. When you restore your computer from a system image, it's a complete restoration; You cannot choose to restore individual items and all of your current programs, Control Panel, and the files are overwritten.

• Product key for disk and the operating system of recovery

  Hi all

  My question is this - if I ordered a newly purchased set of recovery disc for my DV9700 laptop, done com with a new operating system product key? Or should I use the product key, attached to the laptop? Reason I ask is due to the couple of characters/numbers of the key product is barely understandable. I have to use the old product key, if not it means that the product key itself is stored in the BIOS or there is a set (list) fixed to the product on the recovery for key disc are compared to?

  Someone better, please enlighten me. Thank you

  Tom

  When you reinstall using HP recovery disks, it will be pre-activated key installed, you don't have to do anything

  The recovery disks must be for this particular model of Notebook, when you start the Recovery Manager it checks the bios for what is called a tattoo, the tattoo contains information on the laptop, the serial number, model number, number of motherboard, they should match the disks. Nothing to do with the VLK.

  VLK = key Volume License

  Looks like the seller tried to install Vista recovery disk no HP.

  "I should be able to use the recovery disk for my mobile dv9825nr on any other dv9825nr laoptop, right?"

  Yes

• Client operating system VPN requirements

  Hi all

  Does anyone know of any problems with the help of Win98 and WinME to vpn in a pix? I have XP and 2K connection and works well, but whenever I use 98 or ME, the tunnel just sits there on "Contact the security gateway" and eventually times out. I would be there compared to not having the password correct or similar. I know that the details are 100% correct about the customers.

  My config works for 2000 and XP machines so it must be (I assume) based operating system?

  The pix has 6.3.3 software and I tried to recharge one of the ME machines of costs with all updates from MS with no difference in the result.

  Any assistance received with joy and thank you for your time.

  see you soon

  Andy

  Edit: Sorry - I tried customer 4.0.3.F more the last customer base 3. (and yes I realize and 98 are not the best choice of operating system but then I unfortunately can't change that)

  see you soon

  Hello!

  Try adding a few new isakmp policies, eventually the customer and the PIX will manage negotiate the appropriate settings for the connection, because they can be dynamically negotiated by both.

• Wait to start operating system

  Try to run a script after the reboot.

  Using a wait loop that checks host.runtime.connectionState.value = connected to determine the moment to take the step "run script".

  However, this operation will fail because the host returns connected status before the OS is finished booting.  Is there a better process/call to wait until the os has finished start?  According to me, Miss me something quite simple.

  What kind of host? VMware Tools are installed? If so, and if it's in a global workflow (compared to an action), then use the 'vm3WaitDnsNameInTools' action - he waits until the loading tools and report the DNS to vCenter... at this point, a guest operating system is usually ready for further action taken on this subject... (Note: see one of the Clone workflow & customize in the library... for example, I look at the workflow "Clone, windows with single NIC" as I type this for reference...)

• Please help me choose a host operating system.

  I know that it's almost a religion, what people choose as their host for vmware workstation operating system.  So, I'll give you as many details as possible about my situation and maybe this well informed community can help me choose a good generation.

  So here's my situation.

  I want to be able to run esxi cluster on a laptop computer at r2 within vmware workstation, and then to the breast of this windows cluster 08, linux (various distributions server and desktop), windows 7, windows xp,.   I know it's a little aggressive, so I install the equipment as follows:

  2760qm (quad core 2.4 ghz)

  16 GB of ram (to start I'm going up to 32 shortly)

  120 GB ssd drive

  1 gb ethernet.

  Everything on a thinkpad mobile w520.

  So up to the requirements.

  I want a host with overhead operating system resources and footprint of small disk, stability and good performance.   I am very familiar with windows of all flavors.  I am a novice on linux and a total noob to BSD.  I'm comfortable from any platform that I'm a fast learner.

  My number one preference would be stability.  Number two would be performance.  Number 3 is marked by record low (because of small ssd), number 4 ease of use...   So there you have it.  I read all the research that I met and they all seem to be pre2010 and vary enormously in the opinions.  So I ask this question even in a more modern than laptops Kingdom now take some very nice hardware configurations.

  If you have the choice between XP 64 and Windows 7 - choose XP 64. It will be surpassed Windows 7 with any effort.
  Even better 2003 64.
  In my experience the worst choice is Win 2008 R2 - he has the most problems.

  Reminder: here at home I run win 7-64, 2008 R2 and 32 2003 Enterprise in dualboot on a variety of 8 GB of RAM
  I compare the performance directly since version 6.5
  The 2003 EE overcomes the other 2 when it comes to VMware performance significantly
