  • Configuration problem of the mixture of the regions with and without installation of persistence of the disc causing the JSONFormatter to fail

    I have trouble setting my local setup correctly with a mixture of regions with different configuration of persistence of disc.  Is a configuration problem on my end or a bug in GemFire and/or Spring GemFire data?

    The configuration of my work is as follows:

    < gfe: replicated-region id = "replicatedRegion" cache-ref = "gemfireCache" disk-store-ref = "overflowOnlyDiskstore" persistent = "false" >

    < gfe:eviction type = threshold "HEAP_PERCENTAGE" = "90" action = "OVERFLOW_TO_DISK" / >

    < / gfe: replicated-region >

    < gfe:local - region id = "localRegion" cache-ref = "gemfireCache" / >


    With the above configuration, I can successfully call JSONFormatter.fromJSON (json) and get a reference to a PdxInstance object.  However, when I kinda modify configuration to enable the persistence of drive on one of the regions, the call to JSONFormatter.fromJSON (json) fails.  The change is as follows:


    < gfe:local - region id = "localRegion" cache-ref = "gemfireCache" persistent = "true" disk-store-ref = "persistOverflowDiskstore"/ >

    Without any additional modification, the following error starts occurring:

    com.gemstone.gemfire.pdx.JSONFormatterException: could not parse JSON document: [Source: java.io.StringReader@5549f0e, line: column 26,: 6]

    at com.gemstone.gemfire.pdx.JSONFormatter.fromJSON(JSONFormatter.java:66)

    ...

    Caused by: com.gemstone.gemfire.pdx.PdxInitializationException: The PDX metadata must be persistent in a limb that has persisted data. See CacheFactory.setPdxPersistent.

    at com.gemstone.gemfire.pdx.internal.PeerTypeRegistration.checkAllowed(PeerTypeRegistration.java:531)

    at com.gemstone.gemfire.pdx.internal.PeerTypeRegistration.verifyConfiguration(PeerTypeRegistration.java:515)

    ...

    Note that it is breaking while I try to get a reference to a PdxInstance, and if the code has not yet arrived at the point where I place a PdxInstance object in a region.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Hello

    JSONFormatter PDX uses as is the serialization mechanism from the Gemfire cache. As indicators of error, you must have your persistent PDX meta-data when you use PDX with an area that itself is persistent. Adjust your configuration as follows:

    
    

    It will use a default for PDX record store, but you can also use a specific store if you wish.

    When you use PDX, a "PDXType" is created for each class serialized with PDX and this type id is stored with the data in the region. If this region is persistent, then the PDXType, associated with this object must also be kept.

  • The installation of cs4 when the OS10.8.4

    I have the original suites CS for Mac and have updated CS4 on this system. I had to reinstall the operating system and applications, but can't get Adobe to accept the old serial number of the first version of CS, can't install the original version of the CS on 10.8.4. ; and I can't get the trial to accept the old serial number.

    How would you get CS and update CS4 installed when the original is not on the reader, by the way Adobe can not match the serial number?

    OK Dayton I would first check your serial number is valid by checking, it is listed under your account.  Please visit http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968?promoid=KBHJW for more information on how to locate your serial number under your account.

    Once you have verified that the serial number is valid then please try to set the permissions of the file to the folder/Library/Applications/Adobe.  You can find details on how to adjust permissions file for error 'Output 6' or ' exit 7 "|"» Install log | Read, write, file system errors. CS5, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-exit-6-exit-7.html.

    Finally if you still receive the error that the serial number is not valid.  So please remove all installed Adobe apps and then delete the folder/Library/Application Support / Adobe.

    It is possible that files in the Adobe folder permissions could cause you to receive an error of incorrect serial number.

  • I downloaded CS4 Design Premium and asks me to insert the disc 1, but there is no disk 1... Help!

    I bought Adobe Design Premium CS4 and the disc has been destroyed, so I found the download on Adobe and downloaded. Then, instead of just run the file I downloaded, I extracted and burned it to DVD. When I ran the Setup and pick out what I wanted to install and he said: ' "Please insert the Adobe CS4 Design Premium 1 diskette in drive G:\ to continue the installation.".

    I have a serial number valid because I connected my Adobe and obtained from my account.

    I just need to name the DVD a number so that it works, or what I need to download the file again and just run it from the massive file, I download?

    I come to find the 2 original files I have downloaded and run the extraction auto app and it extracted all for Adobe CS4 Premium\Adobe CS4\Design and when I run Setup.exe, it worked fine. :-{)

    Thank you for all the time by reading this post and thanks kglad, but I thought about it on my own.

  • I can't add to or remove the installation of CS4

    I can't perform an installation of Adobe Creative Suite 4 and can't remove the part that has been installed.

    This is my story.

    I installed CS4 using a CD on my secondary computer (Lenovo SL510, Windows 7)

    When he got to the part for the installation of Photoshop, the CD was a mistake to write or something and was able to complete the installation.

    I suspect a faulty CD player.

    What it means.

    • None of the Creative Suite tools will launch
    • Adobe Acrobat Reader does not work (I can't view a PDF file)
    • I can't uninstall the portions that have been installed. Control Panel Windows installation/uninstallation leaves me not remove anything until installation is complete.

    How delete/uninstall components wrong so that I can download the installation of CS4 to the download area?

    Thanks Ned,.

    Before I saw your reply, I found that something called Revo Uninstaller. Who took care to remove all traces of the pre-existing software.

  • Wizard BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    How is it assistant BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    This has two questions:

    1 capacity of SSDS faster for Fusion drive has been reduced. Therefore less effective for the reader of the merger. For example if I need to create a partition of 80G for my windows bootcamp partition, only 48 G will be left in the drive of the merger.

    2. ability of the bootcamp windows partition becomes very limited, cannot be greater than 120 G.

    3. even when I try to fuse out of the drive of fusion in the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD disk, and then run the BootCamp assistant to create the bootcamp partition start from scratch to reinstall El Capitan only on the HARD drive (without drive Fusion), it won't let me do anything, it just shows an error that says something like "a person has created additional partitions on this drive please select. another disc. But there is nothing else to choose.

    Before my (5 K, 27 inches, end of 2014 retina) to El Capitan Yosemite, I was able to use the previous version of the wizard BootCamp 5.x to create the partition, bootcamp on the drive of the merger. And it will be divided in the fuser unit in two and insert the Bootcamp partition (with the size I chose, which can go up to 1 TB) between two partitions of MAC OSX.

    The disk partitions resulting from it, will be the partition MAC OS x on the SSD, the partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #1, partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #3.

    Then there is the BootCamp partition on the HARD drive partition #2.

    Is there a way to get what I need?

    That is what has been described in this notice of two canoes?

    Installation of Windows on a Boot Camp partition on a drive of TB Fusion 3

    n-on-a-3-TB-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/Winclone/support/installing-Windows-on-a-Boot-Camp-partitio

    Thank you.

    After having worked on those weeks, I realized that I need very painfully (by first going back to Yosemite and bootcamp 5 to escape all the limitations of El Capitan and BootCamp 6) I want to share here. Someone at - it other smarter solutions welcome.

    Note these steps and mentioned drivers only work for my version of iMAC, retina 5K late 2014. If you have other material, please search on the web to see which driver will work first. And all of these steps are destructive and assumed that you first take backup. It is only shared for interest only. Readers will have to bear your own risk.

    A. take backup

    1. take a backup completes my iMac Fusion Drive using Time Machine. Then restart with a Yosemite USB installation and select Terminal from the menu on the top bar.

    B. fuse out of the merger in two physical disks drive: SSD + HDD

    1. in the terminal, type the commands in show what the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the disc fusion)

    Cs diskutil list

    2. in the terminal, type commands for the fuse of the fuser unit and separate them to an SSD and a HARD drive.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the drive of the merger. There are many articles in this community on how this could be done,

    diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

    CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

    This should finish within 30 minutes. If you have taken more time, this means that your reader of fusion has been altered somehow.

    I hit this issue too.  To use this command to remove the fusion drive hung up, and I need to do the hard to scramble a few sections of data in the hard disk partition table using the controls to tell the OSX this hard drive is a new without partitions:

    Cat >/dev/random /dev/disk0 (where/dev/disk0 is the SSD)

    and repeat for disk1/dev/disk1 which is the HARD drive in my case).

    This command will not return anything, but expect to press Ctrl-Z to end after 1 minute.

    2 create independent partitions (non-fusionend) for the installation of OSX.

    Borne Terminal output, and select disk utility, in disk utility, select the drive to HARD disk (and not on the partition), you will see the error message and you will be asked if you want to fix the fuser unit, click on ignore. Then wipe the HARD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"HARD drive".

    3. Repeat step 2, and then erase the SSD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"SSD ".

    C. install on the HARD disk as drive didier autonomous not fusion.

    1. go to Yosemite install screen and proceed with the installation of a clean copy of Yosemite to the iMAC. then connect you.

    D. use BootCamp Yosemite f5 to install windows.

    1. launch Yosemite bootcamp.

    2. check the two checkboxes for creating the USB drive to install windows 7 or a later version, and to download the windows supports the Apple software.  Do not click on the last box to install or remove windows pie creating real bootcamp partition again.

    3. it may take several hours to complete this function of your internet b/w and also performance of your USB drive.

    4. If you install Windows 7 (like me), then the downloaded drivers will not work for you, this will cause the issue of the device driver appleDSS.sys does not like this driver and others are too recent for windows 7 to use.  Also, your keyboard and mouse may not work even if you try to plug in a USB external keyboard or a mouse. You need to replace the drivers downloaded by others (the Boot Camp 5.1.5769 drivers that I find in this link: Software Support of Boot Camp 5.1.5769.) (Note: this driver is material specific only works for my iMAC model).  Once you have downloaded it, copy the two files in the root directory of the USB installation to replace the original ones. It's specific and material available for download somewhere on the Apple Site.

    -From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and the Boot Camp of the FLASH PLAYER files.

    -Expand the old drivers for Boot Camp 5.1.5769 (two records and another file) on your desktop.

    -Copy the $WinPE$ and records of Boot Camp in the FLASH PLAYER.

    5. open Boot Camp Assistant again and only select the third option, install Windows 7.

    It will show you the screen to select what installation disk, select HARD drive.

    Then drag the slide bar to select the size of the Bootcamp partition for windows you want, knowing that there is a restriction for windows installed using training camp on a MAC that the last byte of the BootCamp partition must reside in the first byte of the 2.2 T of each physical hard drive.

    For my case, I need only 500G for bootcamp and leaving behind 1.7 to for my MAC OSX partition immediately after the bootcamp partition and an another 0.8 T MAC OSX partition after him. 1.7 TB and the partition of MAC OS x 0.8 TB well exploited in the meantime bootcamp partition, will be merged into a fusion drive by Bootcamp. Thus, you will end up with total 2.5 TB of disk space in a logical drive - fuser.

    Go to this link for more details on this subject: n-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-partitio

    6. continue the process to partition the hard drive, then it will restart automatically in windows installation mode, install windows.

    7. once the installation is complete, check that windows is functioning correctly.

    E. Si you want to upgrade to windows 10 Windows 7.

    1 if you plan to upgrade to windows 10, you'll find that the windows IE v.8 7 is no longer works and had many problems to load the page.  Then when you try to download the latest version of Internet Explorer, you get an error that you need at least windows 7 SP1 to support the last IE.  Life is too complicated, just download the google Chrome browser, then search for download windows 10 and then run the Microsoft valuation tool to upgrade.

    2 but before upgrade you, unplug all your MAC USB drives, otherwise, you will find that, after having spent an hour downloading the windows 10 software, the upgrade will fail with the error "/ dynamicupdate...» ». It is an inexplicable mistake that no one seems to understand why. There are articles with proven results that the removal of all USB drives before running the windows 10 upgrade tool will correct this problem.

    F. reinstall OSX El Capitan

    Once your target windows system (if windows 7, windows 8 or windows 10) works very well.  You can continue to create again your Fusion drive and reinstall OSX El Capitan.

    1. Insert the install of OSX Yosemite rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type the command 'diskutil list cs' and you should see nothing to prove that there are no existing fusion drive yet.

    6 type the 'diskutil list' command to list all disks and partitions.

    The SSD has two partitions, the/dev/disk0s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk0s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD around 121 G.

    The HARD drive has two partitions, the/dev/disk1s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk1s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD.

    G. delete the logical storage of nucleus on the HARD disk drive and it refuses with the DSS to form a merger with faster performance disc

    1. Insert the install of OSX El Capitan rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type orders for (to show what are the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the logical drive). You should see the logical volume to basic storage group created using two partitions on the hard drive, 1.7 TB and TB 0.8 created when we run the Yosemite Bootcamp to install windows.

    Cs diskutil list

    6. in the terminal, type commands to delete logical drives from basic storage.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the logical drive.

    diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

    CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

    7. tap "diskutil list" command lists all the resulting partitions. You should see that the HARD drive has the following partitions.

    / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

    1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

    2: Apple_HFS GB SSD 121.0 disk0s2

    1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1

    2: Apple_HFS 1.7 Untitled TB disk1s2

    3: disk1s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

    4: Microsoft database BOOTCAMP 503.0 GB disk1s4

    5: Apple_HFS 801,4 Untitled GB disk1s5

    8 type the following commands to create the logical volumes group, named "myLVG" (or the name) of fuser using the usable for OSX to the SSD and HDD partitions.

    diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2 disk1s5

    Note: Mark the group id of logical volume shown in the results.

    In my case, I want to book the last partition as standalone partition disk1s5 no-fusionend, so I can use it to raise the back, or format it in FAT32 to allow the exchange of data between the MAC and boot camp.

    So, I do not understand this last partition in the drive of the merger. in my case, the command that I used is: diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2

    9 create logical volumes named "Macintosh HD" (or you call it) on the logical volume group we just created for the reader of the merger.

    diskutil createvolume logical volume group ID jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%

    10 command "diskutil cs type list" to check the resulting fusion drive created.

    12. There will be a step in the installation ask you if you want to configure as a new computer, or restore from a time machine previous backup. Make your own choices it accordingly.

    13 once OSX El Capitan has been installed and you have finished restoring the data and custom configurations, you can enter the application of preferences to check if you see the icon of the "Startup" disk", and if you choose Startup BootCamp in the next reboot, you should be able to boot up to Windows without pressing and holding the button option when reboot and choose to start windows manually. Also, in windows, you should be able to click on the bootcamp Control Panel and select for a startup to OSX on the next reboot.

    14. one thing to be aware, if you install bootcamp in this way, the boot camp and the GUI utility disk in OSX El Capitan will not be able to adjust your settings. This means, if you need to touch anything or to readjust the size of the partition, you will need to do it again in step A. Alternatively, some how to get started with installing Mac OSX Yosemite USB, then adjust the partitions using similar commands shown in this article or other articles in this community.

  • Z820 - BIOS updated to v2.55 - cannot start or install the installation of Windows 7 (UEFI) disc

    Hello

    I have serious problems with the boot and install Windows 7 on my Z820.

    My problems started with Windows Boot Manager, throwing an error in the boot, saying that "the Windows Boot Configuration data file is missing required information". In the end, I decided to do a full clean reinstall of WIndows. However, I was unable to get Windows 7 installed. I was able to boot the disc at retail of Windows 7 64-bit UEFI mode, but he had problems with the installation. Each attempt ended with an error stating that 'Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot continue. ».

    It was the BIOS v2.08. Intel 520 (240 GB) SSD as boot drive and 2 TB SATA HARD drive as data disc on the ports of controller LSI 2308 0 and 1 respectively. 2 DVD players on Intel AHCI ports.

    I decided to take a different path.

    I removed my data HDD and a DVD of the Z820 player. I put my SSD (which will become the startup disk) and a DVD player on both ports to AHCI.

    I've updated the Z820 BIOS with the latest version (v2.55, February 13, 2013), did a reset CMOS (machined cable disconnected) and reset the BIOS to factory default settings. Then, I put 'OptionROM mass storage' mode EFI and the storage on AHCI mode.

    Now, when I put in retail Windows 7 SP1 64-bit installation DVD and select the drive of DVD (UEFI) to start, I get just a flashing dash. I noticed also that some fans begin immediately turn faster.

    To summarize:

    I am unable to boot Windows 7 SP1 64 bit DVD installation detail at all and therefore impossible to install Windows 7.

    Configuration of the system (as in the last installation attempt):

    -Dual Xeon E5-2680

    -32 GB OF RAM DDR3-1600 PC3-12800

    -240 GB SSD IDE AHCI Intel oucederomsurlesecondport 520

    DVD player - Harbour AHCI

    -NVIDIA Quadro 4000

    -BIOS v2.55 (OptionROM in EFI, Secure Boot disabled mode mass storage)

    I'm getting desperate... ;-)

    Should I try reseating the RAM modules? Remove some RAM? Connect my monitor differently (currently DVI to VGA)? Replace the graphics card?

    Kind regards

    I had a lot of problems with my desktop computer, so I decided to do a reinstall.  I had to uninstall the old windows machine and then he tried to reinstall.  But the safe mode screen comes up and I get a message that 'could not load reinstall it so that in safe mode, recover to walk'.  He kekeps this and I have no way of getting to my Start menu or anything except f8, etc..  What can I do?

    You're not start from the disc. Check your bios settings to make sure that your cd rom device is set to boot first. Restart the computer. You must first see a screen that says "press any key to boot from a cd. Then you will see a screen that says "NTDetect inspects the hardware configuration of your computer. The screen you will see next will be "loading files". If you see all the other screens then you dΘmarrez not from disk. I'm not really sure of what you mean you got the machine to remove the old windows. The 'old' windows is deleted when formatting that is part of the installation process.

  • I lost the disc to restore my phone and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

    I lost my laptop computer restore disc and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

    My title says it all. I have an old HP laptop that they do not send to restore the disc more (I don't know yet I had one; his old laptop from my brother) and I have an installation disc for my new PC. I have a Windows XP Home edition SP2 installation disc. However, as the hard drive of my laptop broke down, I don't know what version of windows it was. I think it should have been an OEM version and the sticker says it was Windows XP Home Edition.

    Now, anyway I tried to install my installation on laptop computer disc, offering series of laptop computer but now it asks me to activate. Will it work if I activate it?

    Thank you

    Unless you are lucky enough to know someone who has a generic OEM drive, which you can borrow, I don't see a practical solution for you.  I advise you to spend the money to buy one, even if you could find one to buy from a reliable source (not eBay!).  Although a generic OEM disc should work with your product key, there is no guarantee that it will work with your product key.

    If your laptop can be retrieved through a restore partition, and you can't borrow a disc that will work with your product key, then you have pretty much exhausted all reasonable or practical options.

    I finally did! I borrowed a copy of a generic OEM drive, through activation and it is!

    Thank you much for the help...

    Now I've done could you help me more? Say now, I returned the drive OEM back (don't want to make an illegal copy) and want to be able to use my current system installed to generate a system disk that will allow me to avoid all the problems I've had up to now. What would you recommend? I've read a few articles on other forums (I did some research!) but is a little confusing. I hope you could help.

    Thank you

    @Carey Frisch - positive Get... you want to help here not only your view of what I would do with my money!

  • ENVY 20-d010t: "ERROR: no boot disk was detected or the disc has failed." On HP Envy 20

    Hello-

    I have a 20 WANT all-in-One PC and until yesterday it was working fine. When I turned on my PC, a black screen appears with the message: "ERROR: no boot disk was detected or the disc has failed." I followed the instructions on this post and ran a Test drive in the BIOS. I ran both the Quick Check and balance of large and both have been adopted. I don't know what to do now. All solutions?

    Thank you

    I took my PC to the Geek Squad at my local Best Buy store and it turns out that Windows was just corrupted. All you have to do is to do a full restore using recovery discs. For more information about your model, I would just search on the internet.
