Bootcamp drivers

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
I had to take windows 10 back to defaults, which meant I lost all of my boot 
camp drivers. Now the only way I can get into windows is to use the start up 
manager. How can I restore or reload the boot camp drivers into windows? I have 
found Boot Camp drivers for windows online, but they say they are for Windows 
7. Are there more recent versions? I am assuming I would install them from 
within windows. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Bootcamp issue

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
I had to run the insider version of Windows to do an article, only now under 
bootcamp it starts up with an insider error.  It says it’s gathering 
information and will then restart, and then it sits there at 100%, and there 
seems to be no way to get it to proceede.  I tried MS Helpline, they tell me 
there is now no way to get to either Safemode or last known configuration 
without getting to the desktop.  This seems ridiculous to me.  There solution 
was to run Windows off a disk and hit repair.  Tried, unsuccessfully to explain 
to the rep that I could not do this from the mac side, and that if I can’t even 
reach the desktop, can’t do it from there, either.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Thanks.
Bill

An Extension problem

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
Whenever I start my Mini I get an error saying that an extension was
attempted to be loaded.  The extension seems to be from some old video
software I no longer have installed.  The extensions must be still active,
however.  The error gives me the option to open the security center, but
here is no appropriate option to disable or get rid of the extension.
Anyone know how I can get these extensions off my Mini?  Thanks.

Skype question

In regard to the keyboard, I cannot even access the rotor. How are you doing it?
 
If I try to toggle quick nav on or off, nothing happens at all. So I have no

How are you making this work?

Hi,
 
A couple of items to bring forward here with respect to the Siri Remote and the 
Bluetooth keyboard operation.  First, for both devices, it is important to 
consider the rotor control.  When the rotor is set to certain items, navigation 
by both the remote and the Bluetooth keyboard is sometimes less than intuitive. 
 What I've found is that it is often advisable to change the rotor to a 
different item such as "Words", "Navigation" or "Explore".  Also, consider that 
Direct Touch can really make things difficult if you're not accustomed to it 
and will make things skip around if you're not careful.  Second, there are a 
few gestures such as swiping up with two fingers to repeat hits that you may 
find useful.  Yes, the touch-screen is rather small, but practice usually makes 
your life easier.

Hi Kara,
 
I’m new to Apple TV having purchased 2 4K’s back in December. While I can get 
it to do some of the things I’d like, I’m less than thrilled with accessibility 
on them. The touch screen is a pain to deal with. I have learned that  swiping 
to fast or at least what the touch pad interprets as to fast sends the focus 
rapidly skipping over options. I’m not a large person with large hands so it 
has nothing to do with the size of my fingers – the screen is super tiny and I 
think the smallest motion sends it flying.
 
I also think the device is just not clear enough in annunciating sufficient 
information to assist a blind user in what needs to be done to operate it and 
get the expected results. I’m not using the devices to the extent I wanted to 
and feel a bit, just a bit, defeated in having bought them.
 
Perhaps those are only my issues being very new to using Apple TV. However, I 
have had problems just getting apps to download install and set-up.
For my taste, Voice Over doesn’t announce enough descriptive information as to 
what fields should be filled in. For instance it wants a password, well which 
one? If it would be clearer in stating if it is looking for my Apple ID 
password, or the password to something else I’ve signed up for and am now down 
loading and trying to install the app.
That would help enormously in filling in edit fields. The typing mechanism is 
for the birds on the Apple TV remote, at least I can use my IPhone for typing.

Subject: Re: What use do you find from your Apple TV?
 
Phil, I completely agree with you in regard to accessibility on the Apple TV 
4th Gen.

In terms of day-to-day enjoyment and ease of use, in my opinion, the 
accessibility on the 4th Gen has gone way way way down.

There are three main areas where I find this to be true most.

The first is in the squirreliness of the use of the menu button to enable / 
disable VO in certain circumstances such as when in Music. I.E. I will find 
that on more than one occasion, VO will either not turn on with the usual 
triple press of the menu button, or once VO is on, I will not be able to leave 
the Now Playing screen in Music to go back to the Apple TV Home screen.

I have seen this issue in other Apple apps as well, but it is intermittent. I 
have more than one Siri remote so I have also checked to see that both remotes 
work properly and they do. So this is an issue with the Apple TV 4th Gen with 
VO apparently.

secondly, Rewinding or fast forwarding when watching video content can be 
absolutely excruciatingly tedious depending on which video apps you might be 
using. Hulu in particular can be utterly horrible for this. Yes, I know that 
this is a third party situation, but this reflects how poorly the touch pad on 
the Siri remote behaves both with and without VO. I have had many complaints 
from 

A strange sound issue with my Mini

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
On my Mini, the internal speaker works but the audio jack does not.  When I
go to Windows using Bootcamp, the exact opposite happens, the headphone jack
works, but the internal speaker does not.
Indeed, in Windows the internal speaker does not show up as a device, and on
the Mac os side, the headphone jack does not show.

Boot camp hell

[Bill Holton]

OK, I have now tried six times on two different Mac Minis to install Boot Camp 
using OS X sierra. Every time I get to the question of which drive to install 
on, windows refuses to except the drive. And yes, I am picking the correct 
drive. The accessibility supervisor I have been working with on case number 
100056234065, has stopped returning my calls and or emails. And yes I am 
installing windows 10 64 bit. Everything works fine up until the point where I 
am asked to pick a drive. I pick  the Boot Camp Dr., windows cannot install on 
this disk. If I format the drive at that point with  cited help when does still 
cannot install on the disk. The one time I got it running the keyboard stopped 
working. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

A very strange issue with Mac keyboard

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
All of a sudden, the letters H and I have swapped places on my mac mini 
keyboard.  If I type VO-I I get help, the keyboard help shows every key I type 
as an h is seen as an I, and every I typed becomes an H.  Only two keys that 
seem to be affected.

a VM sound question

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
Usually I use a USB sound card for my Mac, but today I had to temporarily
relocate, so I connected an old wired external speaker to my mini today, and
although the Mac side sounds fine, the VM side is so scratchy, I can't use
it.   I have a lot of lockups on the Windows 7 and 10 side, and now I am
beginning to wonder if it has something to do with the sound processing.  I
seem to recall a long time ago someone posting a config file line you could
add to a VM config file to give the audio more power.  Does anyone recall
the steps, or have similar issues?
 
Thanks.
Bill

Ah, I see, you mean reclaim unused blocks in the VM image itself, not deleting 
actual data.  Yes, you’re right, you must have no snapshots before you can do 
that.  Just select a snapshot with QuickNav off and hit Backspace, and you’ll 
delete the snapshot.  Then reboot the VM, perform any internal housekeeping and 
defragmenting, and use the shrink process to squeeze the VM down to 
approximately the used space of the filesystem.  This only works if you aren’t 
using a pre-allocated disk, of course, as in the VM settings for the internal 
disk.  You can request a shrink inside Windows with the guest tools, and then 
use the General settings in the VM to “Clean up” and you will have some space 
back on the host Mac.

Let me know if you need further help.

RE: A VM snapshot question

Thanks.  I want to reclaim disk space, but as I understand it, you can't do 
this f you have snapshots enabled, or have an existing snapshot.  Yes, the 
options are in the menus, but they are all grayed out.  So can't figure out how 
to get rid of them.

Deleting a snapshot won’t reclaim any disk space, it’ll just roll the 
snapshot’s contents into your main virtual machine image.  Maybe you mean you 
want to revert the snapshot.

Anyway, turn off QuickNav and use the cursor key to highlight the snapshot in 
the Snapshots view.  Then press the backspace key to delete, or use the toolbar 
button to Restore.  There are also menu commands to do either more quickly.

In Pages, when I misspell a word, I do not receive the “Mispelled” announcement 
that tells me I have misspelled a word.  If I knowingly misspell and then use 
the left arrow, I do get the bubble feedback and list of possible spellings.  I 
do get the announcement in Text Edit, and I do not have any activities set

what might be going on here?  I have the same spelling options in both apps, 
“check spelling as you go,” is on, and  “correct spelling automatically,” is

Subject: A Pages spelling alert issue

 

Hi.

In Pages, when I misspell a word, I do not receive the “Mispelled” announcement 
that tells me I have misspelled a word.  If I knowingly misspell and then use 
the left arrow, I do get the bubble feedback and list of possible spellings.  I 
do get the announcement in Text Edit, and I do not have any activities set  
that might make my Pages VoiceOver settings different.  Anyone have an idea 
what might be going on here?  I have the same spelling options in both apps, 
“check spelling as you go,” is on, and  “correct spelling automatically,” is 
off.

Thanks for any help

Bill

That’s the strange thing.  Yes, I am, and on Text Edit it works fine, and I

Hello Bill,

 

Are you interacting with the text? If you don’t, VoiceOver won’t announce 
misspelled words.

Activities are still an issue for me

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
When I set up an activity and associate it  with an app, it takes forever to
command tab out of that app.  Is this still a known issue?  
Thanks.
Bill

Re: Need a bit of USB sound education

[Bill Holton]

I have tried it with three different USB cables, on three different USB ports 
on the many. I get the same problem everywhere. The reason I know it's a USB 
disconnecting, I am running fusion   and when it goes out and comes back Fusion 
  asks me where I want to connect the USB device. By the way, yes, I also get 
this problem when I'm running El Capitan without Bm

RE: Need a bit of USB sound education

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
No, it is a USB cable to the playing card size 5.1 sound box.  USB on that end, 
three cables out that go to the subwoofer, which I am assuming has the amp, 
from there five sets of cables out to the 5 speakers.

OK, but realize, that might not even fix the issue.  I'm not saying the USB 
port on the mac you're using is defected, although it could! be that.  God 
forbid!  What I'm saying is on the other end.  Didn't you say you had a little 
sound device that plugged into your mac via USB?  Then, your speaker system was 
plugged into that box?
 
You're not plugging the speakers directly into your mac, are you?
 
Let's get this clear before we go any further.
 
If you go into system preferences, then sound, and then vo+Space on the output 
tab, then go over to the table of devices, be careful here.  Don't interact 
with this table, and don't arrow around it either.  Just move over to the 
table, then tell me what it says is selected in that table.  I promise you, 
most likely 95% chance, it's not gonna say internal audio.  It's probably going 
to be set to whatever the name of that audio device is you're using.
 
What I'm saying is, you have a USB cord, right?  That cord is running from your 
mac.  One end is plugged into a USB port on your mac.  Right?  Now trace that 
cord.  The other end of it.  Where's it going?  It's going to that little audio 
box that your speakers are plugged into.  Right?  OK.  What I'm saying is, not 
the cord itself, but the USB port on that audio device box... on the opisit end 
from the mac.  I'm saying, that port there internally in that audio device box 
might be somehow defected.
 
If it were your speakers that were the issue, then they'd be going out, but 
your USB wouldn't keep randomly disconnecting.  Your speakers seem, from what 
you're telling us, are getting power just fine.  The problem seems to be lying 
within that USB connection between your mac, and the device which is hosting 
your speakers.  I don't know how to explain this any easier.  Perhaps if you 
still don't understand, someone else on list can chime in and better rephrase 
what I'm trying to explain to you.
 
Nothing personal against you or anything.  I just don't know how to simplify 
this any more than I already have.
 
Chris.

What I'm saying is, I'm saying the USB port on the audio box you're using that 
the sub woofer is plugged to.  What I'm saying is, that USB port itself might 
be having issues.  If that were the case, then no matter how many cords you try 
using, the problem won't be fixed.
 
I still wonder if the problem might be within the actual  electronics of the 
USB port itself on that audio device that your speaker system is hooked up to.
 
The cords, most likely have nothing at all to do with it.

Re: Need a bit of USB sound education

[Bill Holton]

Thanks. But if I want to replace the sound device, all the new wincing to have 
optical out only. Is there some way I can get an optical out to pair with the 
three Jack cables that go to my speaker system. I really don't want to replace 
them too.
Thanks.

RE: Need a bit of USB sound education

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
Yes,  it screws up on the other Mac as well, so assuming it is a sound card 
issue.  My current speakers have three cables
Black = Rear left and right. . 
Green = Front left and right. 
Orange = Center and Subwoofer.
And I do not know what this type of sound interface is called.  Any suggestions 
appreciated.

but your mac isn't what's producing the sound in this case.  The question isn't 
does your mac have optical, at which, the answer is no, by the way.  The 
question is, does your USB interface have optical out?
 
I do agree that would give you a better sound.  Either that, or SPDIF, 
sometimes pronounced spiddif.
 
I still however tend to think this is a bigger issue than your speaker setup.  
It sounds more like there is something going on within the USB connection from 
your mac to the USB interface.  I don't think your speakers are the problem 
here, honestly, based on what you're telling us.
 
Chris.

OK, do you know what color those cables are?  That would tell me a fair amount. 
 Are they blue green and black?  If so, I might have a possible solution.  If 
two of them are red and white, then I'll have to think about it, as that 
wouldn't exactly tell me much.
red and white is generally your standard RCA, then of course yellow would be 
for video, so I highly doubt that is what you're working with.
The green, blue, and black would be digital and probably would be like a 
composit cable.
That's why I'm kind a wonderring.  We need just a slight bit more info.

Hi.
I am currently running a USB sound adapter to a set of 5.1 speakers on my Mac 
Mini, connected by three color-coded cables to the subwoofer, which in turn 
connects to the five speakers.
The device is acting up, it keeps failing and restarting.  Tried different 
cable, same issues.  I want to replace the device, but not sure what I am 
looking for.  All the ones I see on Amazon show audio out.  What do I need to 
look for in one that will connect via the three color coded cables?  Hoping to 
get off fairly inexpensively, so if anyone can recommend one…much thanks.
Bill

Thanks. I will get that cable a try. It will go to my sound box, and from 
there, it makes it into analog, which goes to the speakers, there are three 
cables, green orange and black. Hoping this will fix the problem. I can't find 
another soundcard USB that supports analog out

RE: Need a bit of USB sound education

[Bill Holton]

It is a CMedia CM6206 I can’t find the company contact form.  I have ordered an 
optical cable to see if that helps.  Currently running USB to the CM6206, then 
the three analog outs to left/right, center, and satellite.

It almost sounds like he's running a USB type soundbar that has all the 
satellite speakers branching out from it.
 
I'd have to know more the specific model that he has before I could really 
offer further help, but if the USB keeps disconnecting, then I'm still under 
the assumption it's probably something shorting out somewhere within the actual 
electronics of the USB port itself either on the bar, or on the mac itself, and 
god forbid the ladder.

That part hopefully Christopher-Mark can help you with. My setup is pretty 
simple. I have the optical cable from the mini's headphone jack going to my 5.1 
receiver (an old Dennon) and from there snakes out wire pairs to the speakers 
at various positions. I might be able to look something up but I don't see 
where you said what specific subwoofer or USB device you have. I know some 
subwoofers are set up that you can actually pass left and right high power 
signals to the subwoofer which will strip out the low bass for itself and then 
pass what's left to your regular left and right speakers. Others expect just a 
single separate subwoofer (the dot one in 5.1) line level input. That might not 
have much to do with your USB subwoofer setup.

Hi.
It’s just the three cables that connect to the subwoofer/amp.  Back when I had 
a Dell, the sound card had the same three jacks, green, orange, and black.  So 
at some point they must have been the standard.

Wow, that's a... pardon the pun, very unorthodox, setup.  Usually, you'd not 
have one cable to do both left and right channels unless it was a Y cable.  Let 
me ask you this.
 
The green cable you have for left and right... is it just one plug on each end 
of that cord, or two plugs?  I'm trying to get my head around how you're 
getting left and right separation in the stereo spectrom on only one cord.  The 
only thing I could think is it's a stereo balanced crossover cable.  If that's 
the case, then yeah, ok, I could see it.
 
What, however, I do! find really really strange though is why that red/orange, 
call it as you will, cord is doing your center and! your sub.  Normally, you'd 
want your center speaker to be totally on a seperet channel from your left or 
right, and you definitely! definitely would not want those lower end 
frequencies say around 80HZ and lower to be sent to your center.  Generally, 
your center should roll off everything on an average about 150HZ and lower.  
Your satellites should go about 150 down to about 80HZ, then your sub would 
crossover at that point at about 80 down to about 25-30.  Again, this is only 
an average estimate.  Each type of speaker will greatly vary in frequency 
response.  My point though is, If you're using one cable for the sub woofer, 
and that same cable/jack is powerring your center, then that seems really weird 
to me!  I'd think that would make your speakers sound horribly! out of phase.
 
Chris.

Yes,  it screws up on the other Mac as well, so assuming it is a sound card

Black = Rear left and right. .

Need a bit of USB sound education

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
I am currently running a USB sound adapter to a set of 5.1 speakers on my
Mac Mini, connected by three color-coded cables to the subwoofer, which in
turn connects to the five speakers.
The device is acting up, it keeps failing and restarting.  Tried different
cable, same issues.  I want to replace the device, but not sure what I am
looking for.  All the ones I see on Amazon show audio out.  What do I need
to look for in one that will connect via the three color coded cables?
Hoping to get off fairly inexpensively, so if anyone can recommend one.much
thanks.
Bill

Hi Andrew,

Let’s start from the beginning.

You can think of processor cores as processors in their own right.  Each core 
computes at its clock speed, sharing some resources with the other cores but 
essentially operating independently.  Operating systems of today try to exploit 
multicore (and, indeed, multiprocessor) systems, by spreading the threads of 
execution (be they separate independent processes, or separate threads of an 
individual process) across the cores and/or processors.  Using threads of 
execution that operate in parallel is of course going to produce results faster 
than merely executing instructions on a single core.  The days of merely 
increasing the clock speed are mostly behind us now, but it was once the norm 
that operating systems would not really benefit from such parallelism, so that 
increasing the clock speed was really the only way to go faster.

Now, this is all fairly simple, but there is an extra complication.  Intel 
processors have a feature called “Hyperthreading”, which tries to make better 
use of the processor chip, by virtualising processor cores.  These cores are 
distinct from real processor cores, to operating systems that know the 
difference.  In fact, though, they are really sharing a physical core with 
another hyperthread.  Hyperthreads can improve performance, but they do not run 
independently; there is contention for the resources on that physical core they 
share.  It is when the contention does not exist that the CPU can exploit 
parallelism within that core.  You can think of it as a sort of “Accelerated 
computation” for the CPU, in much the way that “Accelerated graphics” is what 
you get when GPU (graphics) hardware assists the rendering of graphics.

What does all this mean?  Well, it means that you need to plan your CPU usage 
carefully, or not, as your requirements dictate.  If you want to guarantee a 
fair balance between host and guest, split up the CPU count.  For a quad-core 
system, let Windows have two cores.  You’ll get a known-good balance no matter 
how hard the operating systems should work their respective processor cores, 
whether at a standstill or in full flight.  On the other hand, you might care 
less for the performance of your VM; then you reduce the core count, and hope 
that your operating system will not mind the reduced parallel clock speed.  
Entirely feasible for Linux, for instance, although I wouldn’t enjoy using 
Windows above Vista like that for long.  And finally, you can go the other 
extreme: you can give it all to your VM.  I do this.  It’s much riskier; you 
had better be sure your OS does not draw more than it really requires, and you 
can hurt yourself if your host is starved for long periods.  But, again for 
Linux, which is very good at idling the chip when not in use, this is entirely 
feasible.

And about the number of cores available for each VM being higher than the 
number of physical cores, that’s hyperthreading.  VMWare Fusion will do the 
right thing, balancing your choice of cores evenly between hyperthreaded cores. 
 So actually, a quad-core system has 8 virtual processors, and a balanced 
system takes 4 virtual cores.  A single-core system that could benefit from 
hyperthreading could easily be given 2 virtual cores without any ill effect.  
And, yes, if you set the core count to 8, your VM could easily take down the 
host if it loses control.

So, that’s the story.  I hope this explains what’s happening, and answers your 
question.

Cheers,
Sabahattin

So the difference between an I5 and I7 is the I7 is a more advanced and better 
performing chip.  I’m not sure but I don’t think the I5 is available in quad 
core configurations, for sure the I5 is in dual core configurations as I have 
seen them in Macs frequently.  The I7 does in fact have a quad core 
configuration so in most cases you’ll have double the cores, the clock rate is 
faster in the I7, the clock can be overclocked higher on the I7.

Intel would be a good place to look to get in-depth info as to the differences 
in the i5 and i7 lines.

Here's a new twist.
I have had some trouble with my current VM.  Spoke with tech support, they 
asked how many cores I had decidated.  I said two, and that is two out of eight 
on a quad core i7 listed in the VM settings menu.  They advised me to lower it 
to one, said that is what they recommend.  Doesn't make sense to me.

No, the instruction sets are more optimized on the I7 and I think there is a 
different number of pipelines.

Again, Intel would be the authority here on the two but I know the I7 is a fair 
bit more processor and it’s definitely not just clock rate.

RE: Best configuration for new mac?

Not sure what you mean by virtualization downgrade?  Is there a difference 
between the old dual core processors from the 2012 mins and the newer dual core 
processors, other than clock speed?  Will a quad core on a macgbook improve 
virtual machine performance since you can dedicate two cores to each Mac and 
Windows?  Thanks.

I really believe that multicore performance is a good thing to have when doing 
virtualisation.  No two ways around it: the latest Mac Mini is a downgrade from 
its predecessor, because of the dual-core processors.  Sure, they’re newer 
family chips, but they are still slower.  Worse yet, RAM is not upgradable, and 
storage is not upgradable without substantial (and very careful) disassembly.  
I have no doubt that Apple are, if not intentionally doing it, at least glad 
that the Mini will no longer threaten their Mac Pros or iMacs, both of which 
now present alternative options.  The Mac Mini is such an attractive machine, 
and I too have been recently eyeing them up hungrily for their lovely SSD 
performance and small form factor, but I just can’t bring myself to buy a 
downgraded machine for any purpose other than the one for which my current 
dual-core Mini is serving (a simple caching server).  Indeed, my previous 2010 
Mini could be upgraded `if I chose: both RAM and SSD would bring it up to par 
with the best Mac Mini, if you discount the slight clock speed boost (2.6 to 
3.0), the change in processor family and the addition of an optical drive.  Of 
course, as you said, you could also investigate quad-core options in laptops as 
well, and get out of the dual-core league entirely.  But if you must buy a 
Mini, get a maximally configured Mini, so as to save long-term on your 
investment: 1 TB SSD, 16 GB RAM, 3.0 GHz I7 dual-core.  This configuration will 
let you down a bit in the virtualisation department, but will make up for it in 
general use.

Best configuration for new mac?

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
I am scanning Apple's refurb shop for a new mini.  I use Fusion in Windows 7
or 10 with Window-eyes most of my work day.  Question:  Am I better off
getting a 2.7gh processor with a fusion drive and 16 gig of memory, or a
2.3gh processor, 16 gig of memory and an SD drive?
Minis only seem to come in dual core.  Is there a large spped jump on a
macbook Pro with a quadcore processor whereyou can devote two cores to mac
and Windows?
Thanks for any advice.
Bill

thanks.  So it looks like after memory, priorities are SSD, Processor speed, 
then number of cores.  I thought devoting two cores to windows and two to Mac 
would make each run faster, but apparently that is not your experience?

Hi Bill,
I'd always go for an SSD drive, they make an amazing difference. The
experts say there's not a lot of difference between dual and quad core
processors. The only time a big difference shows up is if you use
something advanced like photoshop that can use multiple processor
threads. There is more and more software that can take advantage of
multiple processor threads, but I've never really noticed much of a
difference. For example, I have a 2012 quad-core macbook pro that I
run windows 7 on, and an Asus 13.3-inch ultrabook that runs a dual
core processor. The macbook pro is 2.3ghz up to 3.3ghz, the Asus is
2.8ghz up to 3.5ghz. And running System Access from serotek as my
speach program I don't notice much difference.
Hope this helps! Jeff

[Bill Holton]

I currently have a 128 gig external SSD that uses a thunderbolt connection.  I 
have el Cap installed onto the drive, and my VM locdated there, too.  Will an 
internal SSD give me much more speed?

Also, I thought this was something to do with VM Fusion, but it also happens 
when I am not in my virtual machine.  Every so often I will get the VM Fusion 
busy, busy message.  If I am just running Safari, Safari busy, busy.  I did 
notice that when this happens a few of the process go to 200%.  One of them is 
LSD, easy to remember, I cannot remember the other one right now.  Is this 
something I can diagnose and fix?  Thanks.

experts say there's not a lot of difference between dual and quad core
processors. The only time a big difference shows up is if you use
something advanced like photoshop that can use multiple processor
threads. There is more and more software that can take advantage of
multiple processor threads, but I've never really noticed much of a
difference. For example, I have a 2012 quad-core macbook pro that I
run windows 7 on, and an Asus 13.3-inch ultrabook that runs a dual
core processor. The macbook pro is 2.3ghz up to 3.3ghz, the Asus is
2.8ghz up to 3.5ghz. And running System Access from serotek as my
speach program I don't notice much difference.
Hope this helps! Jeff

RE: vmware fusion 7 and windows 7 becoming unactive

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
As I recall, there are two different ways to run a bootcamp partition in 
Fusion.  The first imports the machine, and considers it a new machine.  The 
second simply runs the bootcamp partition in Fusion, and does not require 
reactivation.  I remember having this problem, but I can no longer find what 
each of these items are labeled as since I no longer have a bootcamp partition.

 I remember something like this happening to me a long time ago. I believe it 
 happens because when you access the windows bootcamp installation via fusion, 
 it is as though you are running windows, and everything in it,  on a new 
 computer. The fusion virtual environment is essentially a simulated piece of 
 hardware and windows thinks it is being run on a different piece of hardware 
 than it was authorized for. The same goes for Jaws, Office, and all other 
 programs that are tied to the hardware for licensing purposes.
 Having said all that, I don’t remember the fix, but I believe there is one. 
 Otherwise you’d have to reauthorize everything for use in  fusion. 
 It might be in the way you access the bootcamp. There is some setting to be 
 checked or unchecked when you import the bootcamp into fusion. I know that 
 when you import a VM file into fusion from another machine, you have to be 
 careful to “move” and not “copy” the vm, otherwise fusion won’t import  the 
 license along with the vm file. and you’ll have to reauthorize everything 
 because when you do a copy, you’re essentially “creating a new copy of 
 windows that requires authorization.
 Something like that may be happening when you import the bootcamp into 
 fusion. In fact, I’d bet on it.
 You may want to try deleting the bootcamp VM, (not bootcamp itself, just the 
 imported VM), and reimport the bootcamp partition and watch for this sort of 
 thing.

Second, whenever I toggle away and back into Fusion, my window has reverted
to the VM Library.   I have to go to Window, cursor down, then click my
mahine hname.  Is  there some way to make this go quicker, perhaps a
shortcut key?

Thanks.

That is very strange.

The drive does get warm.

I remember when I bought mine, I tried plugging the thunderbolt cable in my USB 
port!  I hope there is nothing wrong with yours.  I have plugged mine in my Mac 
mini and my I Mac.  If you have another Apple computer, try and plug it in the 
second device.

A Thunderbolt SSD Drive question

Hi.

I was given a 120 gig Thunderbolt SSD drive for Christmas.  I have connected
the drive to my Mini with the cable that was included.  There is no power
jack, so I assume the SSD drive will take power from the cable.  Trouble is,
the drive does not show up, either when I go to my computer drive list or in
the disk utility.  Is there something I need to do to enable the Thunderbolt
port?  Thanks.

A VM Fusion question about disks

Hi.

When I get an error stating my disk is nearly full, are they referring to
the disk the app is on, my OS drive, or the drive the VM file is on, my Data
drive?  Thanks.

Probably your virtual drive. When you first set up the virtual machine you tell 
it how much of your Mac's disk space you will allow it to use. In any case, you 
can quickly verify this by doing Get Info (command-I) from the finder on your 
Mac's drive to find out how much is left. If you really are out of room on your 
virtual machine you'll need to do some cleanup. I suspect changing the drive 
size of the virtual machine is a non-trivial bit of work, as it is on any 
non-Mac machine.

RE: A VM Fusion question about disks

As I recall, if you have the VM sharing, it doesn’t set an upper limit.

Right, but there is a limit to the expansion. So if you set up a Windows VM 
with a 40GB automatically expanding drive Windows will say it's a 40GB drive 
but on the Mac it might initially only use 10GB. As you add apps and such it 
will grow but only up to 40GB. I've never run into this but I assume Windows 
will start to complain when you get near the limit. So how much free space do 
you currently have on your mac HD?

A VM hotkey question

Hi.

When I have left a VM window for awhile, often, the program reverts to
showing the VM Library as the default window.  I have to go into the Fusion
menu, cursor over to Window, cursor down to the machine I had open and then
press enter.  Is there some way to shorten this process?  I have tried
command ~, but that doesn't work.  Any help appreciated.

Hi Bill 

Are you talking about deleting a folder? If I understand what you are
talking about, you can just go into your DropBox folder on your Mac and then
do command delete like any other folder in Finder. On my Mac, I can just
delete files and folders that way and they sync with my iPhone which I have
Dropbox on too.

Dumb question

[Bill Holton]

Hi.

Just redid my mac, and cannot recall where I make the change to have Safari
start out with the new page instead of the top of the screen.  Any help
appreciated.

RE: Dumb question

[Bill Holton]

Actually, what I need to do is to have VO start out in the page, not at the
very top of the screen  where I have to slide down and interact with each
new page.  Sorry if I was unclear.

Hi Bill, not a dumb question at all.

Go to Safari preferences with command Comma.

VO left until you hear new windows open with pop up button, down arrow until
it says new page. You can do this with new tabs open with as well.

Dropbox adding folders to one computer...

[Bill Holton]

Hi.

With the new 1tb plan, I would like to add files from my second Mac Mini
drive to my dropbox.  I have the Dropbox folder on my second drive.  How can
I add a few folders from another internal drive to my Dropbox folder?  Also,
this would make it too large to download on my other Mac, so how would I
tell that Mac not to download that folder?  Thanks.

Bill

RE: Remapping keys with VM fusion

[Bill Holton]

 and the mac
side.
 So far, I have never used it in daily work, because I can't figure
 out how
 it
 works. If you play with it and find out some benefits, please let us
 know.
 I
 have this off, to avoid accidentally dropping into unity.
 
 Also off are cycle through windows, and cycle through windows
reverse.
 This is because we can easily do this with voiceover, and I don't
 want to loose keystrokes that may otherwise be used for jaws or NVDA
 commands.
 Next is hide application. I have this off as well, because if you're
 in
 the
 middle of a windows program and you want help, it is likely that you
 begin by pressing alt h to open the help menu. But watch out for this
 one,
 because
 if you don't turn off command h for the virtual machine, and remember
 that alt and command are now the same key, then instead of opening
 the help menu inside your windows program, you will instead hide
 fusion completely, and be dropped into os10 where you don't have
 speech for the moment unless you turn it on. I fell into this pit
 some 5 times until I
 realized
 what might be going on here. Turning this key combination off
 resolved the issue. Now, pressing alt h will nicely open the help
 menu in windows, and you will no longer be kicked out.
 
 Next, there is hide others. I have this off, because it does
 something to
 os10
 where I have no speech as long as I'm inside windows, and you want to
 let windows get your keystrokes as much as possible.
 
 The same goes for settings, the next key to turn off, which in fusion
 is command e. I hear you thinking. Usually command comma is for
settings.
 Correct. However, command comma in fusion opens the general
 preferences for all virtual machines and fusion, while command e, as
 in echo, opens the settings for your specific virtual machine. How
 many processor cores to allocate it, how much ram etc. So, if windows
 wants you to press alt e, then you don't want to speechlessly land
 into fusion
 settings.
 Rather, you want the alt e command to run in windows. Turn this off.
 
 The last key to turn of is command q for quit. Again, we don't have
 speech outside fusion so we can safely turn this off, so that command
 q, or alt q
 for
 windows, is available to windows and not to fusion or os10.

Well I can do it so yes it can be done. I remember I had to vo-space on the
combo box so it becomes a list. You then use standard arrow keys to find the
key you want then I think you have to press return. Pretty sure I wrote a
guide on this over at www.applevis.com and maybe to this list but can't
remember as of now. But I know it can be done without apps like Sharp Keys.

RE: Time Machine question

[Bill Holton]

Yes, I can do that.  But then in a month or two I will have to do it again.
Was hoping to find the correct way out of this cycle.

If you don't mind losing all your Time Machine history for now, simply
reformat your target disk using Disk Utility.  Any problem with the disk
will then be solved and Time Machine should resume.  Yes, it's inconvenient,
but at least you haven't lost any current data.

Remapping keys with VM fusion

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
I am trying to remap the caps lock and  insert keys without using sharp  keys. 
I can get to the fusion remapping section, I can interact with the combo box 
with the additional keys. But when I cursor down to caps lock, or the  insert  
key, no matter how I try to activate it, I get a cap  A. Does anyone know if 
this can in fact be done, and what the trick to doing it with voiceover is?

RE: Time Machine question

[Bill Holton]

Hi.

No, no longer getting backups.  Getting backup failed messages, says to
change disk.  I would have thought it would delete old backups
automatically, doesn't seem to be happening for me.

Hi Bill,

 

Time Machine should do this automatically. Check under System
PreferencesTime Machine to see if it's still backing up. There will also be
an options button near the lower-right corner of the window; here you can
configure if Time Machine notifies you when it deletes an old backup to make
room. Let us know whether Time Machine is still doing backups.

Hi.

My 1tb time machine backup drive is full.  I am backing up a 500 gb drive,
but I have created and later deleted a number of very large files, which are
still on the backup.  Is there some way I can instruck it to delete the
oldest backups automatically in order to free up disk space?  Thanks.
