Shortly, when the first Intel-based Macs reached in the market, Apple took the initiative to release a useful tool known as BootCamp Assistant. Using the help of BootCamp, Mac users now install and boot their native machine on Microsoft Windows along with the pre-existing OS installation. It minimizes the running of the different operating system simultaneously.<br />
<br />
<b>Backup BootCamp</b><br />
<br />
For Backing up all the files and folders, one can easily use Time Machine features of Mac OS X. However, Time Machine can’t backup the BootCamp partition on the Apple hard drive. In such case, a 3rd party application comes handy which takes care of data backup on Windows partition.<br />
<br />
<u>Applications to Clone BootCamp</u><br />
<br />
<b>1) AOMEI Backupper</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
It is perfect for both new and advanced level users and provides a clean, user-friendly GUI. The primary backup option which this software provides is Disk Backup, Folder Backup and Partition Backup, System Backup.<br />
<br />
<b>Note</b>: if you are looking for a fast and reliable data backup option on the fly, then AOMEI Backupper is the best solution for that.<br />
<br />
<b>2) Macrium Reflects Free Edition</b><br />
<br />
After installation of this app, you will be presented with a registration form having a pop-up box that contains a serial key which is very specific to your system. After clicking on ‘OK’, an internet connection is required to provides necessary authorization of serial key before you can start using the program.<br />
<br />
<b>3) Drive Image XML</b><br />
<br />
Though its GUI is not as interactive as its competitor, still, it is one of the powerful software for cloning Windows hard drive.<br />
<br />
<b>Image Creation</b><br />
<br />
Here, you have two options for creating a data backup image: Drive to Drive as they call it or the standard backup that gives you the option to either use "<b>Volume</b> <b>Locking</b>" or the "<b>Volume</b> <b>Shadow</b> <b>Service</b>" since it is the system drive I'm backing up from within Windows.<br />
<br />
So, the default selection Volume Locking is a bad idea in this case, as it does what it say's "<b>locks</b> <b>the</b> <b>volume</b>" aka drive.<br />
<br />
<u>Mac Based Software to Clone / Image BootCamp Partition</u><br />
<br />
<b>1) Stellar Drive Clone</b><br />
<br />
It is a useful application for cloning the Mac based hard drive data including the BootCamp partition. Along with cloning from Mac internal hard drive, it provides certain other features:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><a href="http://www.stellarclonedrive.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cloning NTFS BootCamp partition to EXFAT</a></li>
<li>Cloning a particular Mac volume</li>
<li>Cloning network drive</li>
<li>Cloning without resizing</li>
<li>Creating a disk image of Mac</li>
<li>Creating Bootable media for Mac OS X</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>2) Winclone</b><br />
<br />
Winclone is an another great utility for Mac users for imaging the BootCamp partition. Winclone comes in 3 different version having different features in each version.<br />
<br />
It is helpful in Cloning and restoring boot camp, cloning windows drive, and disk-to-disk cloning.<br />
<br />
<b>Final words</b><br />
<br />
Now, using the help of Windows cloning tool mentioned above, you can easily clone your Windows based hard drive data. Choose the best one which suits your requirements and budget.</div>

Thousands of Mac users around the world face a most common Mac data recovery problem, i.e. Data recovery from Inaccessible OS X Hard Drive. Usually after a period of time, Mac hard drive become unreadable or inaccessible due to certain circumstances and many users may not be able to get access to their precious data that were already stored on their OS X hard drives.<br />
<br />
Such type of problems might be caused due to system volume corruption, malware attack, file corruption etc. There are 2 different methods to resolve such problems and in this blog post we will explain both of these methods step-by-step.<br />

<br />
<b>Ways to regain the accessibility in your Mac hard drive</b><br />
<br />
Corruption in the PRAM or NVRAM may be the cause of drive inaccessibility, and the system fails to boot from the appropriate drive where OS X resides. This can be corrected by resetting the PRAM or NVRAM. Also, the files may become invisible to the internal search engine on Mac viz. Spotlight. This can be corrected by indexing the items again.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Resetting PRAM or NVRAM</b><br />
<br />
Parameter Random-Access Memory (PRAM) stores settings that can be easily accessed by OS X. It includes settings for startup disk selection. If the drive on the Mac is inaccessible, restoring these settings may help in gaining the accessibility back. Here’s how to do it:<br />
<br />
I. To reset the PRAM, shutdown the Mac system.<br />
<br />
II. Start the Mac and immediately after hearing the startup sound press <b>CMD, Option, P and R keys</b> simultaneously.<br />
<br />
III. This will restart the system and on the startup sound again, release the keys.<br />
<br />
Once these settings are reset, you may need to configure speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection and time zone information again. Select the startup disk as appropriate. In older macs, the PRAM feature is in the form of Non-Volatile Random-Access Memory (NVRAM). NVRAM can be reset following the same steps as listed above.<br />
<br />
<b>How to look for inaccessible data through Indexing</b><br />
<br />
Some of the files may simply go missing if their indexing is not properly done. To rebuild the index, follow the steps below:<br />
<br />
I. Go to: System Preferences > Spotlight.<br />
<br />
II. Choose Privacy tab.<br />
<br />
III. Add the media on which the files have gone missing.<br />
<br />
IV. Remove the media from Privacy. This rebuilds the index.<br />
<br />
Now the files should appear in the Spotlight search or system navigation.<br />
<br />
In case if the above mentioned method doesn’t work, then you can take the help of Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery Software for recovering the inaccessible hard drive data.<br />
<br />
<b>Recovery Inaccessible Mac Hard Drive data using Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery Software:</b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery Software</a> provides support for data recovery from inaccessible hard drive with a Recover CD.

What to do ??<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Mac freezes, when the system halts to respond to inputs. Why does this occur??<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs48pOr82qqaLMPHJcPRRShJTUxMtUXLhL5HEkJvVAxGDbR7iB9A-8YSU5u5uLxUX3Ya_Q1v6m86NcLn6tJlJvwAe7v6NI9Rn_Cke0R_I0DgklefXktJ_OqPRaf2IY13HiiKhmeAXN3iw/s1600/mac_freeze_featured.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs48pOr82qqaLMPHJcPRRShJTUxMtUXLhL5HEkJvVAxGDbR7iB9A-8YSU5u5uLxUX3Ya_Q1v6m86NcLn6tJlJvwAe7v6NI9Rn_Cke0R_I0DgklefXktJ_OqPRaf2IY13HiiKhmeAXN3iw/s1600/mac_freeze_featured.jpg" height="172" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>Causes of the freezing</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Too many programs open at the same time</li>
<li>Operating system issues</li>
<li>Heat related issue</li>
<li>'Software Updates' not updated</li>
<li>Not have enough memory</li>
<li>Duplicate and hidden files </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<b>Steps to Unfrozen the Mac</b><br />
<br />
1) First step is to open the '<b>Activity monitor</b>' to analyse that what is eating up the system resources. So just drive your cursor on Applications folder, then on Utilities and lastly click on Activity Monitor. You could be able to see the list of certain files.<br />
<br />
2) Next step is to sort the list by <b>CPU percentage</b>. After the sorting procedure, the applications with the higher percentage of CPU value causes slow down of the system.<br />
<br />
3) Now sort the Activity monitor by <b>RSIZE</b> i.e. according to the memory, each program is using. This list will makes us to look for the file that uses higher memory which indicate the reason to slow down the speed of the system.<br />
<br />
4) After this procedure, you will surely find the files which need to be quit from the system. Before proceeding further, either you need to take the bcak of the system or you will loose any data in that program. Now select the program from the list above which slow down the speed or uses more memory and click the Quit button in the window above.<br />
<br />
5) Sometimes we came across the programs that are failed to run correctly or not responding at all. This is the very critical situation which affect the freeze up of the system and locks it up. In this situation, we need to force quit the particular program.<br />
<br />
6) Last step is to <b>boot the Mac</b>. If you can't be able to access the mouse, you need to reboot your Mac. And since you can't access the shutdown option, just press and hold down the power button till the computer shut down.<br />
<br />
<b>Measures to prevent it from freezing</b><br />
<br />
<b>1)</b> <b><a href="http://www.stellarinfo.com/mac-software/speed-up-mac.php" rel="nofollow">Clean the space on the hard drive</a></b><br />
<br />
This is an important step because the less space on the primary drive will encounter the higher chances to slow down the task.<br />
<br />
<b>2)</b> <b>Upgrade software updates</b><br />
<br />
Timely updating the software and version of Mac OS X will enhance the system with greater security and certain other features, which reflect a greater impact on performance and other factors too.<br />
<br />
<b>3)</b> <b>Repair hard disk</b><br />
Due to some errors on to the disk, the computer can become unresponsive and slow. Regularly verifying and repairing the disk with the help of Disk Utility will minimize the freezing upto larger extent.<br />
<br />
<b>4)</b> <b>Booting in safe mode</b><br />
This feature helps to determine the number of programs that will affect the computer to freeze. After booting the computer in safe mode, don't forget to reboot your computer normally.<br />
<br />
<b>5)</b> <b>Reinstall programs which do not run properly</b><br />
The programs which constantly gives you difficulties should be reinstalled again to avoid such problems.<br />
<br />
<b>6)</b> <b>Avoid opening corrupt files</b><br />
Corrupt files will lead to encounter freezing problem in Mac. If the Mac freezes after opening some file, then that file has to be deleted to avoid any discrepancies.<br />
<br />
<b>7)</b> <b>Check SMART status of the hard drive</b><br />
The special SMART(Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) status of the hard drive will indicate the health of the hard drive which is very helpful to monitor the freezing or slow down issues.<br />
<br />
These points will surely rescue you from the problem of freezing or system hang kind of problems.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Windows 8 lead outstanding changes in their fastest ever OS, formally known as Windows 8. Changes including Start Screen, metro style interface, faster boot processing etc. are some of the major one that greatly modified the way we interact with the PC.<br /><br />Boot manager in <b>Windows 8</b> is a part of the booting process that lets you choose desired OS to start with if you’re running in Multiple OS platforms. You’ll see this screen just after starting your system. Once you select the operating system, you’ll need to press Enter to start with desired version of operating system.<br /><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtNxM4N4FhJ5CHRBbSOkknWsTOwtiYtUZoIedMApWC3BCMBV97XdXW4jhgj0IbfWM7zsNjq59QUJT6f0UWyABmyjhy-q34tUJ3YNjZfbkYHO8FKq4Y1VUiWtchzkBvszYww0J2IAklgUY/s1600/Windows-8-boot-manager.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtNxM4N4FhJ5CHRBbSOkknWsTOwtiYtUZoIedMApWC3BCMBV97XdXW4jhgj0IbfWM7zsNjq59QUJT6f0UWyABmyjhy-q34tUJ3YNjZfbkYHO8FKq4Y1VUiWtchzkBvszYww0J2IAklgUY/s1600/Windows-8-boot-manager.jpg" height="290" width="320" /></a><br /> <br />Microsoft had decided to remove the old boot manager screen and replaced with modern boot loader screen in Windows 8 so you can reach to desktop within the shortest possible span of time. However, some user didn’t liked it at all as it’ll restrict capabilities like advanced startup options, capabilities to start system using various other method like Safe Mode, Clean Boot Mode, system recovery options (all these options was previously found at <b>Advanced startup options</b> in Windows 7/Vista/XP). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Apple Macbook pro is one of the
portable computers with high technology and powerful apps. These
notebooks are thinner and lighter. The latest model of Macbook 17
inch pro is also experiencing start up problems which has become a
major issue nowadays. These problems may arise due to:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguR-3gPEvZUL3KMOaQ5KzQ3lK82F2RaTMLzHuL0eQgVlc-s4SRV9AWdnhD2GoZhw9Uy02aK7Rp_R_aHW1waKEiNGZ9cQjNp8xLMyYaZzAOD-vwb1E4PllaAxoWYuvJd0H2yCsjjnyJIUM/s1600/RjhsLV5eKul3sMK3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguR-3gPEvZUL3KMOaQ5KzQ3lK82F2RaTMLzHuL0eQgVlc-s4SRV9AWdnhD2GoZhw9Uy02aK7Rp_R_aHW1waKEiNGZ9cQjNp8xLMyYaZzAOD-vwb1E4PllaAxoWYuvJd0H2yCsjjnyJIUM/s1600/RjhsLV5eKul3sMK3.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Peripheral devices</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Peripheral devices could be the
problem. Just check its connectivity and then try starting Macbook
pro. If not, then you need to disconnect the peripheral devices and
then turn it on to check everything goes well or not. By doing so, you can
address the issue.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
RAM issues</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
If the computer beeps more than one
time or the lights are blinking, then there must be some hardware
failure. Bad RAM is very common issue on newer Mac's. So, to test
this case, just remove one RAM at a time and reboot. Repeat this
activity again till you find the problem. If any of the culprit
arises, then have a look in Mac owner Manual and install RAM.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Bad battery</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Just check the battery level of the
Macbook. To perform this task, press the battery button or on the
side of your computer. Single light blinking may lead you in the
condition of dead Macbook. So, you need to charge accordingly
whenever necessary.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Operating system</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The operating system may stuck
resulting in start up problems. All you need to do is to hold down
the control key, command key and the power button together to restart
the computer. In this scenario, try booting off an OS CD and run Disk
Utility to repair the disk. If this also doesn't work, last option is
to use the software like Stellar volume repair or Onyx software to
repair.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Hard drive failure</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
A major issue is of the hard drive. If
the hard drive has been corrupted or damaged or makes abnormal
noises, first thing you need, is to back up your data safely and
replace it immediately.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Mac's SMC
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Resetting SMC is the important feature.
The simple SMC reset can resolve number of failures such as battery
not charging, USB ports and Bluetooth not working, fans running fast,
erratic sleep mode performance, failure to response to power button,
sluggish performance etc. So, to reset the SMC, first shut down the
Mac, disconnect from MagSafe connecter, remove the battery and hold
the power button for 10 seconds. After releasing the power button,
reinstall the battery, reconnect the MagSafe connector and turn your
Mac on.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Thermal sensors not working</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
This issue is noticed when the fans run
at a higher speed but the computer does not boot. You have to ensure
first, that the sensors are plugged in properly. If yes, then replace
it. If this doen't fixes the problem, you need to change the logic
board.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Faulty MagSafe adapter</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
To test that the adapter is faulty or
not, one needs to check the electrical outlet and the plugs are
inserted properly or not. If the outlets works smoothly, then unplug
the power adapter for a while and then plug it again. By doing so, if
the power adapter's LED does not light up, then definitely MagSafe is
damaged.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Therefore, fixing these issue in the
appropriate manner will resolve most of the start up problems of the
Macbook pro.

<div align="CENTER">
<br /></div>
The iPhone is the smartest technology these days among all.
Everybody has the craze to tickle the extraordinary features of the
smartphone. But due to some weaknesses and threats, iPhones are
declining in the market. Some of the threatening points to an iPhone
are:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUWo5jZnTYCLoGjz54AhAyMYxh9qmrNbC8nOb0y8Sj9ItmL8AtONyME3B8RSHhDM34FSLrsvrG84BCS8Xt4VA1_xkIahc3plfr2rkiM5QQOMlq4lLS1z9fcZOT1ZaT2Yu2YmyJ4ydREoE/s1600/apple-to-unveil-iphone-5s-in-august-rumor-L-jfY8CV.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUWo5jZnTYCLoGjz54AhAyMYxh9qmrNbC8nOb0y8Sj9ItmL8AtONyME3B8RSHhDM34FSLrsvrG84BCS8Xt4VA1_xkIahc3plfr2rkiM5QQOMlq4lLS1z9fcZOT1ZaT2Yu2YmyJ4ydREoE/s1600/apple-to-unveil-iphone-5s-in-august-rumor-L-jfY8CV.jpeg" height="200" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>iPhone competitors hitting the market </b>
<br />
Apple launched its product every year but if we think about its
competitors they are releasing their product probably every month.
Smartphones and Android phones in the market with its incredible
features are hitting the market. iPhone being expensive incorporates
glossy features but Android on other hand provide lesser glossiness
but offers great deals of app through ‘Play Store’, thus making
easy to penetrate the smartphone market.<br />
<br />
<b>iPad sales are higher than iPhone</b><br />
There are billions of users of iPad in the market as compared to
the iPhone. Undoubtedly, iPad is a boom with the superior quality
features and a large screen. The iPad doesn't have calling feature,
still the users are interested in buy this product. In all, iPads are
more busniess oriented.<br />
<br />
<b>AT & T and T-Mobile are Apples threats</b><br />
These companies are hitting the US market to a greater extent.
Apple's business is getting affected and its is very difficult for
them to maintain the current position in the market. T-Mobiles are
affecting the market of iPhones as they are successful in selling
some of the iPhones as consumers can't bear the price of Apple
iPhone's. They are increasing with the sales because of their
exciting plan which provide reduction in cost with the greater
quality.<br />
<br />
<b>Apple's own smartphone is an idea for other competitors</b><br />
At first Apple launched its smartphone in the market. Its
superiorty and quality features allows Apple to sell their product at
higher prices. But on the other extent, competitors and the other
brands come up with the same smartphones at lower prices which has
again let the Apple product fall in the market. Asian markets are
much inclined towards smartphones that look-alike iPhones and cost
lesser.<br />
<br />
<b>Latest iPhone still lacking in some features </b>
<br />
iPhone 5 has massive competitors in the market. Now this iPhone 5
has a nano-sim which is a curse as it cannot swap while upgrading
contacts and all. Also it does not have headphone jack which is a
great problem for those people who does not have Bluetooth
capabilities. Then Apple's maps are not up to scratch. One needs to stuck with
iTunes for loading content as microSD card slot, USB slots and NFC
connectivity is not there.<br />
<br />
<b>Competition is tough in China for iPhone</b><br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3968691755622937388" name="_GoBack"></a>China has unexpectedly hit the market with
their smartphones at a cheaper price. These phones has Google Android
operating system which has led the Apple sales down due to its superb
features, apps and quality. China beat the biggest companies such as
Apple, Samsung and many other companies.
<br />
<br />
<b>Android apps are beating iPhones</b><br />
There are certain android apps auch as Cover, Swype, profile
scheduler etc. in the market which iPhone didn't support. They are
doing the terrific business with its functionality and features in
it.
<br />
<br />
<b>Not have any recovery software for deleted content</b><br />
One of the major issue these days that being very expensive in the
market, it does not have any recovery software for the deleted
content. Sometimes, if data got accidently deleted, then one has to
buy some software to recover it. </div>

<b>How iPod works?</b></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
iPod is the most popular gadget of the
decade which is used for storing, transferring and playing multimedia
files. Generally iPod stores all the multimedia files on an internal
memory chip. From here we could able to retrieve the files
accordingly. The working of the iPod is very simple. All the devices
of the iPod are integrated with iTunes. So, first download your music
files or Cds into the computer. Then that files are loaded into the
iTunes software. After ensuring that the multimedia files have been
transferred to the particular software, plug the iPod in the computer
and tranfer them from the software to the iPod. Unplug and there are
your favourite numbers on it. Let us see the different parts that how
it works:</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
1) <b>iTunes</b>:</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
This is a software developed by Apple
which is used to organize, add or delete the multimedia files from
the computer to the iPod and vice versa. All the devices are
generally integrated with this piece of amazing software which always
sync it with a portable device. With this software we can easily
pluck the music from Cds into MP3 or various other formats as well.
When we connect the iPod to the PC it automatically updates the music
files and all.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
2) <b>Touch-sensitive wheel</b>:</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Touch is the sensitive feature which
makes the task of accessing the menus and features on the screen
faster by dragging. iPod uses a technology called capacitive sensing.
These capacitive sensors are hypersensitive to detect anything that
is conductive and consist of an insulator different fron that of air.
It uses electrical impulses and react accordingly.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So this is the overall history and
working of tremondous digital portable media players i.e. one and
only iPod.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Millions of Mac users have already upgraded their existing
Mac to OS X Mavericks, and why not OS X 10.9 is absolutely free to upgrade.
It’s not only free but an outstanding OS that deserves praises by all of us. Apple
have spent good amount of time to bring in some good features that were missing
from the OS X. The integration of some iOS features such as iBooks, Maps helps
sync the iOS devices for ease.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Minor Glitches that rocked 10.9 upgrade: Since, the
Mavericks was rapidly being upgraded, reports of bugs like data deletion from
WD HDD were reported. However, the issue was resolved sooner than later and now
OS X10.9 is free from such bugs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, OS X 10.9 is smooth, fast and convenient to use, that is
how it is built to perform.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, being responsible
Mac users, it is our duty too, to help 10.9 run smooth forever. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Evergreen tips that
work on 10.9 to fasten its speed:</b> Some tips & tricks work on every OS
X, even on the latest releases such as Mavericks. Not only these, tips are
simple, but when put to action they produce results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today, we shall discuss some of those free
& fair tricks that can help both gain & maintain high performance for
the new OS X baby, which is “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mavericks</b>”.</div>

Command + R</b> – Like in predecessor OS X, CMD + R works on OS X 10.9 too.
This command is used while the OS X is loading on to the machine. Restart Mac
and press CMD+R to bring in the ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Recovery
Mode’</i> menu from OS X. A Recovery Mode is a hidden partition of the OS X and
helps restore the system in case of any logical causality. Now, when you are in
the Recovery Mode, go to Disk Utility and run Verify & Repair Disk
permissions on the boot disk. (Please Note: Only the boot partition has the
ability to verify & repair disk permissions). Any fault in the permission
will be resolved with the help of Disk Utility feature. </div>

Spotlight</b>–One of the reason you experience slow performance just after the
upgrade is may be because of the spotlight being indexed again. While indexing,
the performance of the OS X suffers, until the entire process finishes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being a user, you don’t need to take any
action against the indexing. Since it is a general process of the system, it is
better to let it happen. You can check the indexing via a small dot (.) symbol
appearing on the magnifying glass, which is situated top-right location. Once
the indexing finishes, the OS X performance restores to normal.</div>

a sudden power-boost up. The old Intel machine may not have those sufficient
RAMs, unlike the new ones. So, go ahead, enjoy the 10.9 update with increased
dosage of RAM. The best size for smooth Mavericks operations varies from
4GB-8GB and so on, depending on the type of work. </div>

We've combined here a list of 5 working tricks that may eventually leads to your computer booting failure problem resolved and allows you to access it without facing any problems or continuous restart loop. Carefully look for steps to troubleshoot the problem, depend on your system and type of error you’re facing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>P.S.</b> Some of the error requires to modify settings in your computer hardware, so please see if you’re comfortable with playing around the hardware equipment’s. Expert help is recommended if you’re novice computer user or won’t have enough knowledge about hardware parts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The solution may applies to all the latest Windows OS editions, however we’ve written it exclusively by keeping Windows 7 users in mind. So you may find it little different while applying solutions on your computer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>#1 Perform System Restore</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometime, there are few minor problems behind your unbootable computer state and simply restoring the system could fix it. System restore is a powerful system utility comes pre-included with your Windows installation package and helps user in restoring everything back to any specific date. However, it won’t roll back any saved documents, media files, and stored backup copy on the hard drive etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.quickmeme.com/img/20/2093ec58e02d52fcd0effd585501464cffd74eabe9d5b481e0871d5f15ae567e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.quickmeme.com/img/20/2093ec58e02d52fcd0effd585501464cffd74eabe9d5b481e0871d5f15ae567e.jpg" height="229" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If choosing any specific date doesn’t address the issue, you could select any different date (restore point) and see if it might help you on this. However, if restoring system doesn’t seems the obvious solution for your computer you might need to get deeper and proceed to next solutions covered below.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>#2. Fix hardware related problems</b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The internal hardware lying on your CPU could be the primary suspect in most of the booting failure cases. If running some basic troubleshooting steps didn’t address the problem, this is the second place where you need to look carefully and make sure that the problem is not related to hardware. Based on the facts, below are the common error you may have faced already. You’ll get the subsequent solution that you can apply to resolve mentioned errors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Computer starts but no light on the monitor (memory related errors)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you press the power button on your computer and everything seems running quite well except there is no display at the monitor. Moreover, replacing the display device yields the same result. If that’s the case, your computer might be suffering from some serious memory errors caused by faulty or outdated RAM (Random-access-memory). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Microsoft has a detailed tutorial page on to find and fix memory related problems on your computer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Windows Freezes, Hangs or Crashes During Boot (Hard Disk Error)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This error could happen because of installing faulty or suspicious software on your PC, but hard disks remains the primary suspect in most of the freezing or hangs cases. Failing or dying hard drive may give freezes or hangs at the startup and prevent you from accessing Windows normally.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Blue Screen of Death or Continuous Startup Failure Loop (Device and Driver Errors)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unsigned or outdated drivers for any newly installed hardware equipment’s may give BSOD errors which may occurs while logging in screen. It may also cause the system to fail while booting into Windows and follows the same in loop. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can either choose to uninstall such hardware or update all your system drivers to its latest. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>#3. Software Related problems</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Avoid installing programs from unauthorized vendors or which has originated from any unknown sources. Such programs might provide heavy damages to your system and leaves it in inaccessible state. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moreover, try installing programs written exclusively for the OS edition you’re using. Old version may have compatibility issue with your current copy of Windows and is heavily responsible for damaging registries. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>#4. Windows Starts but Running too slow or starts abruptly</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometime, due to corrupted or damaged file system and registries which prevents Windows from running smoothly. If you’re so lucky, you might able to logon to Windows but what if screen stays there for a very long time or restarts automatically. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Windows provides powerful utility to solve such issues, even without reinstalling Windows or manually applying any registry tweaks. Startup repair provides powerful options to fix missing or damaged system files, solves memory errors or recover system from unbootable state. You can access it from the <b>System recovery options</b> by pressing F8 after starting the system. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Startup repair will automatically find and fix problems on your Windows 7 computer without asking for any information. If it fails or won’t come up with any errors, you may need to run it again or run it twice as sometimes, it’s just miss errors which it won’t recognizes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If startup repair didn’t seems helpful, Try running your computer in <b>Safe Mode</b> by using <b>Advanced Startup Options</b> menu. It’ll start your system using minimum set of drivers and applications so you might have any idea about the conflicting programs or the devices drivers. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Clean boot</b> has been already available for selective startup by disabling certain programs so you can find the conflicting applications and uninstall it immediately to make your system working again. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>#5. Interrupted power supply or damaged cables</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometime, performing basic tests could solve most of the issues at the very beginning. Just check and make sure that all the power cables were connected properly and performing their tasks. You’ll also need to check and make sure that PSU has been providing the needed power supply and in controlled manner. In case you’re using Laptop, removes the secondary power source which is the laptop battery and try connecting it directly to the power source. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the successful release of Windows 8 and handful upgrades to Windows 8.1, this time Microsoft has reportedly planning something big to announce at Build 2014 Developer conference. As per the news report, it’ll be the release of Windows 9 codenamed “Threshold”, somewhere in April, 2015. The Microsoft very next OS after Windows 8.1 update 1 which will release this year in April.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With not so expected success of Windows 8, Microsoft still managed to sell over 90 Millions of license keys worldwide and raises their net profit for up to 13.5 % as compare to their previous quarter. This clearly indicates that users are interested in Microsoft upgrades and releases even if they weren't fully comfortable with it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What will be possibly included?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Microsoft vision is to release the advanced computer operating system with high end tiles and Metro 2.0 introduction which might lower the criticisms that Microsoft has faced after releasing the most recent operating system i.e. Windows 8. Rumors around the tech world were also loud about the addition of start button will be a big hit for company and might turns rumors into appraises. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Besides this, there are number of changes that might rolled out before the final release of Window 9. These changes will completely overhaul Window 8 and leaves no traces of their previous pitfalls. The company is in no mood to sacrifices with anymore criticism whatsoever.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What we actually thinks about this release</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to a news report, Microsoft will release three pre-release versions of Windows 9 for users and developer to test. However, it’s still unclear that how many versions will be actually available for users to explore when Windows 9 is going under development. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Build 2014 developer conference this year in April might bring some exciting changes and noticeable improvements on which, the company success lies. The company is not comfortable with announcing any updates till now but have high chances of revealing its vision in Build conference. </div>

Solutions Included!!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<h1>
<b>1. Applications during Startup</b>:</h1>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
The moment we press the power button of the Mac CPU, it begins to load the OS X from the boot volume to takes us to the desktop of the system. A desktop holds our icons, hard drives, dock and other menu’s, which are helpful to operate the computer & perform our task. In general, the journey to the desktop from the boot goes smoothly until few applications turn to show up on the desktop. Now, these apps shouldn’t show up until & unless a user double-clicks them to launch. However, these apps on there own starts to get launched until they are closed individually. At times, this becomes so irritating that user first have to closed multiple applications in order to perform his/her tasks. Take my example: Reaching office just on time and marking the attendance on the employee portal gets halted as the Mac is busy launching & terminating the apps that show on start-up. This process also halts the launch of the browser, which is needed as a primary application to get my attendance marked. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Solution</b>: - If there is a problem with the Mac applications then solution lies within the OS X itself. Follow below steps to resolve:</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>From Dock, click <b>System Preferences</b></li>
<li>Click <b>Users & Group</b></li>
<li>Select <b>Admin</b> account. Switch to Login-Items tab</li>
<li>Evaluate the apps that are listed on the <b>Login-Item</b> window.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjxuPnv_DS1lmCoRwC_dPrRrnNIxREUCXrdWxnn8ZdGWpcpEGyfQD5PtBp2ixxl9i3LV737GdLChCpIcpcWgN0eWnZILkYuvhHflRWYM0W1xd_rWuldu8XcDI8HLPEIcho_9t0L_vQlm0/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-15+at+9.04.44+AM.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="257" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjxuPnv_DS1lmCoRwC_dPrRrnNIxREUCXrdWxnn8ZdGWpcpEGyfQD5PtBp2ixxl9i3LV737GdLChCpIcpcWgN0eWnZILkYuvhHflRWYM0W1xd_rWuldu8XcDI8HLPEIcho_9t0L_vQlm0/s320/Screen+Shot+2014-01-15+at+9.04.44+AM.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Make selection of wanted & unwanted apps to keep during login of the Mac machine. It will be good if the Login-Item tray is kept empty with no such application added to be launched on start-up. Click <b>(+) </b>button to include one or multiple apps or click <b>(-)</b> button to exclude one or more programs. Exit the tab.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another round of taking measures to halt the applications during start-up would be the apps built-in options to stop them from opening. For example, the Office for Mac 2011 has an option available for Excel, Office and PowerPoint, which read – <b>Don’t ask next time</b>. Once it is checked, the tray of this program won’t bother.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3>
<b>2. Keyboard Shortcuts</b>:</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Shortcuts are meant to perform the task in a quick manner. Some application residing in inner folder can be launched with the help of keyboard combination. The keyboard shortcuts do exactly what a human hand and the mouse would do, minimising the navigation of mouse. It is also good to know basic keyboard shortcuts of a system to expertise on the machine you operate. </div>
<div>

Keyboard shortcuts are much of a topic of search for new users. Even an avid PC user becomes a novice once a Mac OS X is handled over to him. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Solution</b>: The best way to expertise in shortcuts is to read as much possible from the relevant websites. Eg: <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1343" rel="nofollow">http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1343</a> holds all the answer to the shortcut queries.<br />

<b>3. Helpless in swapping between similar applications:</b></h3>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
Consider how helpless you would be if you were working on two Excel files, copying data from one Excel sheets and pasting it to another. It is obvious you would go for Apple + Tab key to swap between two excel sheets. This is how you to on a Windows machine. But to disappoint you, it won’t work that way on an OS X Mac. CMD + Tab will swap between separate applications but not amongst similar.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixhXwaaBBtTm98MShxFW-odXnTZDExD7qIGadm4QozRHNWStU9FANQVsDzJWaBrSHJ1gR0xtGu2bDrP8Hddp5lm5ecvXouAltK36KG_0t28G-OfiZDL0LO1cNZgn_O8MOTBPHLQgOtD8o/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-15+at+9.28.33+AM.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixhXwaaBBtTm98MShxFW-odXnTZDExD7qIGadm4QozRHNWStU9FANQVsDzJWaBrSHJ1gR0xtGu2bDrP8Hddp5lm5ecvXouAltK36KG_0t28G-OfiZDL0LO1cNZgn_O8MOTBPHLQgOtD8o/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-15+at+9.28.33+AM.jpeg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The above image is a screenshot of CMD + Tab which is navigating through different applications and not similar ones.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Solution</b>: The keyboard command to swap amongst similar applications is as simple as anything. Just use <b>Apple + ~</b> key to operate between 2 excel or any other similar program. I found it much difficult to do the task of copy & paste until found the useful command.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also note that <b>CMD + ~</b> won’t do anything if no multiple applications are opened. <i>(CMD & Apple Key are the same)</i></div>
</div>
<div>

<h4>
<b>4. Magnifying Dock</b>:</h4>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Though it looks good when you hover the mouse on the dock and view the icons get beautifully magnified, sometimes they annoy. It may happen at times, the mouse cursor gets unintentionally hover towards the dock and clicks an application to get launch, causing a slight interruption. Also to bring this to notice, some DMGs when extracted or installed occupies the lower part of the desktop window & when mouse is bring towards them, the dock icons begins to magnify.</div>

<b>5. No page source view in Safari browser</b>!!!</h5>
</div>
</div>
<div>
Is <i>Safari</i> a perfect browser? Undoubtedly, a good browser that comes built-in with Apple’s OS & iOS devices. Still Safari is not the best browser to depend for professional work. Consider for a web designer who constantly looks for the page source view of the websites has to do some search in order to look into the matter. On Chrome & Firefox, the page source can be bring to front by <b>right-click<View Page Source</b>.</div>

All Free<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Computer operations started from floppy disk devices, moved on to optical media and further went to high capacity storage device in the form of HDD, SDD, USB and memory cards. All these devices helped a computer user (Mac) to store their surplus data through safe manners. But with the constant creation of new data every day, a need arrived to further store the data on different channels, without using any form of devices.<br />
<br />
As World Wide Web expanded to new heights, many third party entities offered surplus amount of free spaces on their servers. These servers included huge machines dedicated to store & preserve data on them. Not only storage of data but ability to sync user’s data through Desktop computers, Laptop, Mobile Phones and tablets also gave Cloud an upper hand over any other medium of data storage. It also almost excluded the chance of loss of data stored upon physical hard drives.<br />
<br />
Before iCloud came on Mac OS X, Apple made sure to offer data storing clouds though MobileMe and .Mac services. Though, these services hardly made any impact on the users, and further led the Apple to Research & Develop much more sophisticated cloud service.<br />
<br />
<b>iCloud</b> – iCloud can be launched from <b>System</b> <b>Preferences</b> and an Apple ID which is used as login credentials. It offers superb 5GB of free space to store Mac OS X data from built-in Applications.<br />
<br />

<br />
Once you create an account on iCloud, you see what applications you can choose to back up on cloud. For Example, click on Check box to select the Mail, Contacts, Notes, Calendar, Safari (bookmarks), Photo Streams and Document Data to sync alongside with the OS X Mac.<br />
<br />
You can also open <a href="http://www.icloud.com/">www.icloud.com</a> and enter your account to manage the applications.<br />

iCloud has functionality to sync data on an OS X and to be retrieved on iOS, vice-versa.<br />
<br />
<b>Dropbox</b> – Talking off free cloud services and Dropbox rank above all in terms of usage and simplicity. The 30 MB set-up file can be quickly downloaded from the site <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/downloading">https://www.dropbox.com/downloading</a>.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here, we will compare both
companies in a very unbiased style!
</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Initially, We will discuss
which company started early, then the reason of the more successful
existence. We also discuss which company is more relevant today and
who are the majority users of both PC and Mac. We will also discuss
important features and technical specifications in both; Macs and
PCs.</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to the sources
Apple Macintosh introduced the prior computer system to feature a
mouse and a graphical user interface (GUI) in January 1984. And
Microsoft introduced Microsoft Windows in November 1985, in reply to
the rapidly growing interest in the GUIs.</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mac Systems are widely known
for their interactive graphical user interface from earlier times.
The Apple Macintosh continued to sell successfully till the mid of
1980's, though its sales got reduced in 90's . In 2009, Microsoft
quickly took over World's PC market by retiring the Mac OS.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s not a myth, <strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Microsoft
dominates the world’s operating systems market.</span></strong><strong>
</strong>The reason for this domination is simple, Microsoft designed
it’s operating systems to be compatible with various hardware
created by a wide range of computer companies such as Dell, IBM, HP,
and Sony, etc.</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the other hand, Apple
designed its software for close integration of computer hardware and
software, which means it’s not compatible with other computer
hardware. An Apple OS will always run on the Apple hardware only.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whereas, Microsoft sold it's
operating system to various computer companies. Microsoft is more
prominent than any other operating systems in the market. In the mean
while, Apple's operating system rigorously fit perfectly in their own
hardware only .
</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many years ago most of the business computing applications were standardized on Windows PCs.</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If we discuss about the
compatibility</span></b></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While the main operating
system for Apple is OS X, and PCs is Microsoft Windows, only Macs
have the proficiency to run both. Naturally, both systems continue to
develop faster and more powerful versions of these operating systems
that are increasingly user-friendly and more compatible with handheld
devices.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And though the PC tends to
rule the workplace, many software programs for professional
use–including Microsoft Office and the Adobe Creative Suite–have
versions for both operating systems. PC is very popular for its
application when it comes to leisure time apps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When it comes to reliability,
most of the PC users know that their devices are vulnerable to
malware and viruses. Although Mac users are much safer from these
virus attacks, but still both PC and Mac users must install an up to
date antivirus software to protect their devices from malicious
attacks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If we discuss about the cost
of both PCs and Macs, then their it is very clear that PCs dominated
the budget friendly market. As Macs are more expensive then PCs, for
many user cost is an issue, as users wants to get most from their
money. If we talk about budget, then PC wins over Mac.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ever wondered why your Windows 7 PC not able to load properly and inbuilt utilities like Startup Repair won’t able to fix this issue? Moreover, startup repair keeps coming again and again but didn’t able to repair problems of your computer. If you’re unlucky, other troubleshooting options like ‘System Restore’, ‘safe mode’ and similar to fix unbootable Windows system will not work either. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Previously, Startup repair is used to heal problems with your computer by repairing or replacing important system files, fixing registries and removing problems with third party installed software. However, in some cases startup repair seems useless as it might not able to detect the exact cause behind the problem or the startup repair itself facing difficulties with system registries or the conflicting windows system files. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In such cases, you've got only one option to make your Windows system working again. That is, by reinstalling a fresh copy of Windows which involves risk of losing everything stored on your computer along with all the installed applications being removed completely. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What causes ‘Startup Repair’ to Loop?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There might be bunch of reasons that causes startup repair to loop infinitely. However, we’ll group here only few popular reasons of why this is happening with your computer along with subsequent steps to fix it. The first and foremost popular reasons behinds this is due to bad registries which prevents startup repair to perform actions effectively and thus causes it to loop forever. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some other possible reasons could be malicious programs installed on your computer that you haven’t noticed yet. It may have high vulnerabilities of damaging system files and other registry settings which prevents Windows to load properly and prevents other system options to troubleshoot Windows. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In both the cases, you can easily get rid of all the problems and roll back your old Windows in working state by performing clean installation of Windows. Again, doing this will compromise you to lose everything stored digitally with no traces of deleted files and folders, which makes data recovery impossible on your computer even by using most <a href="http://www.stellarinfo.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">powerful data recovery applications</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Little about ‘System Recover Options’ before getting in</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s a Windows 7 inbuilt utility, mostly comes preinstalled with your copy of Windows 7 and if not, you might have Windows 7 installation disc provided from your manufacturer. As of now, we’re supposing that you try to access ‘System Recovery options’ using inbuilt recovery options provided from manufacturer. </div>

So a day might arrive in your life when you switch from a PC to Mac OS X. Even an avid PC user will stumble in every step while operating the OS X. Though you will love the way OS X is carved for the user but will sure fume when simplest of thing will tend to confuse you. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have been using Mac Mini from last many months and now think I have mastered few things. So, I am compiling the list of 15 essential things, which you can set up on your OS X. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Install Office for Mac</b> - PC gets an advantage of having Microsoft Office at time of installation, as it’s a basic need for the machine. Unfortunately, the same is not found on the OS X when you bring it home. Installing Office on Mac OS X may or may not be a choice for the user. But if it’s a definitive need for you then you must buy Office for Mac 2011 (latest) suite for the OS X. The Office powered for Mac is same as that of PC. Once you get Office on Mac and learn to operate in Mac environment, you will hardly remind of the Windows. Office for Mac constitutes Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Outlook.</li>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li> <b>Set Time Machine</b> – If you are installing the OS on your own then don’t forget to partition at least 50-60 GB of space for Time Machine backup. For those who are new to Mac, Time Machine is a built-in features for Intel Macs that takes incremental backups of your volumes. So, if in the starting you can create a distinct space for the time machine, then you can set the time machine to back up volumes of your computer. Or you can also allow a separate external hard drive to be as your time machine capsule. Do either ways to back up Mac machine. </li>

The time machine is a life-saving utility that offers edge to the Mac user to set prior backups and enjoy no loss at time of data disaster or system failure.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Using Disk Utility</b> – Disk utility is the central function of the Mac OS X where you can perform series of activities to monitor the health of the hard drive. Disk Utility can be reached out by following path Finder<Application<Utilities<Disk utility. The icon of the disk utility is represented by a hard drive with stethoscope, clearly representing it’s functions.</li>

<div style="text-align: left;">
What quickly can you check with Disk utility?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The hard drive information and its SMART status.</li>
<li>Individual volumes of the machines & their information</li>
<li>User can test hard drive & volumes for any malfunctions.</li>
<li>The application permissions on Mac can be verified and repaired by Disk utility alone.</li>
<li>Disk Utility can erase a partition and create a new one.</li>
<li>It can clone on of the partition or entire drive to another destination.</li>
<li>Burn a disc, create an image and unmounts a partition.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Apart from being very useful to the Mac, the Disk Utility doesn’t provide any support for hard drive defragmentation or data recovery. For these two operations, a user has to depend upon 3rd party software.</div>

<li>Quit bunch of processes that might be running at the background.</li>
<li>Quickly monitor the CPU, System Memory, Disk Activity & Usage and Network on your Mac OS X.</li>
<li>Check CPU load</li>
<li>Verify Process Identifier</li>
<li>Check Read-in and Write-Outs</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Set-up Apple Mail</b> – Apple Mail is build in client to send/receive mails from Mac OS X to anywhere in the world. All you have to do is configure Apple Mail by providing you account information. Once done it will sync all your mail, contacts from the account and you can start using Apple Mail without wasting a second.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Trash</b> – Trash is what Recycle Bin is in Windows OS. So to delete a file in the Mac you can both drag and drop it into trash or right-click and select ‘Move to Trash’ option.OH Wait, if you seek to delete a file using keyboard then pressing only the Delete key won’t help you send the file to trash. In actual you have to select the file and press the combination CMD+Delete keys to trash a file. Tricky, it’s Mac after all. It is also simple to Empty Trash in OS X Mac. Either click ‘Empty Trash’ in the trash folder or right click the trash icon and select ‘Empty Trash’. </li>
<li><b>App Store</b> –It won’t be wrong to judge the App Store as one of USP of Apple Inc. It was Apple who brought the concept of digital store to the IT industry, followed by everyone else. The Apple App Store is full of opportunity, where you can check out for latest OS X developments. The App store continuously prompts you to download new updates for smooth up running of OS X Mac. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Swap between applications</b>– While you set hands on the Mac keyboard, you will come to know that CMD+ TAB shuffles user amongst open applications. While this is simple to understand, but one might become hot tempered in finding ways to swap between 2 similar open apps. E.g. I want to swap between two excel files but CMD+TAB doesn’t help me doing that. So, I must press CMD + ~ to shuffle between similar apps. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Install Dual OS on Mac</b> – Like Windows, you can have two copies of different OS X on Mac machine.A Mac hard drive is large enough to accumulate multiple OS on it. So go ahead and Install another OS X on Mac. On Intel Macs, one can have Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks in a pair of two.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Boot Camp</b> – So, one cannot install OS X on a Window machine as it is a violation of Apple’s EULA. But the reverse of this is 100% possible with OS X built-in feature, which is Boot Camp. All you need is a 2GB of RAM and 20-30 GB of partition kept aside for the Windows OS. You could set a dream computer by having Mountain Lion and Windows 8 on the same Mac machine.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Screenshots</b> – If your work includes taking lots of screenshots from systems then Mac is just the machine you badly need. A user can capture a screenshot in two ways. Firstly by pressing CMD+SHIFT+3, the entire screen is grabbed and saved on desktop by default. Also, by pressing CMD+SHIFT+4 altogether, a sign appears that allows you to crop the image as per need. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Terminal</b> – Terminal is all about finding deep routed features through several commands. It is as same as the Command Prompt from Windows OS. You can unhide system files, change a file format, change the destination of a file etc. and lot of other advance stuff that you can perform with Terminal application.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>iCloud</b> – Last but not the least, you have Apple’s own cloud support to hang your ultra important files in cloud backup. On cloud storage, they remain safe from worldly affairs. You must check iCloud now and grab your free support.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Keep searching new things on Mac and do let us know. <u><i>See You Until Next Time</i></u>.</div>

installing Microsoft </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;">Windows Operating system on Intel based
Macintosh computers.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Basically
this utility is known as Boot Camp Assistant, which assists user
through safe and non-fatal disk partitioning of their hard drive and
installation of Window Device Drivers.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whereas,
it also enables user to re-size the existing HFS+ partition of their
hard disk as per their requirement. A Window Control Panel applet
automatically gets installed with this utility for selecting the boot
operating system.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Initially
this inbuilt utility was coming along with Mac OS X Leopard and then
was included in subsequent versions and Windows 7 (64 bits) and
windows 8 are officially supported with OS X Mavericks.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After
the innovation of the first Intel based Mac systems, Apple released a
tool called Boot Camp. Which let Mac users to install and boot their
machines into Microsoft Windows along with an existing OS X . This
happens without running two operating systems simultaneously, it is
opt for running performance-intensive applications.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>1) Check
for updates and Backup:- </b>Check the latest updates from Apple
and download and install them on your Mac if required. You should
take backup of your important data, because boot camp will be moving
and reallocating space on your hard drive.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So
your data may get corrupted while the process.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2) Run Boot Camp
Assistant (OS X 10.6 or later):- </span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Open
a finder window click on Applications<Utilities<Boot Camp
Assistant continue to begin the setup. Select Download the Window
support software of this Mac and press enter to start downloading the
software.</span></span></span></h3>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 0.56cm;">After
the download completes, save the files and burn them to a disc.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 0.56cm;">

</span></div>
<h3 class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">3)
Create Partition of your hard drive:- <span style="font-weight: normal;">Once
you've finished downloading the software, the assistant will precise
you to create a Windows partition on your hard drive. This action
will make your hard drive to devote some free space to Windows,
without interfering with or erasing existing OS X installation. </span>
</span></h3>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />A
slider represent your hard drive. Adjust the slider to give your
Windows partition more or less free space. Keep in mind that any
space you assign will be reduced. from the available free space for
OS X.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>4)
Install Windows and Windows Drivers:- </b>Once the process of
partitioning the hard drive is accomplished then your hard drive is
ready to support Windows.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And,
now its time to install the Windows operating system</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once
Windows is installed, you need to install the drivers you can
downloaded them easily to make sure that all of your Mac hardware
works properly in Windows, including sound, display, and wireless
network adapters.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now
the Question arises.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Is
It Possible to Maintain a Boot Camp Partition while upgrading the Mac
OS?</b></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According
to my perception answer of this question is yes, whereas some user
had problem regarding their Mac updation with Boot Camp Partition.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It
make sense to have a backup, As user may not regret on their data
loss. If some thing went wrong, you can restore your data
easily.<br />Apple's backing up technology (Time Machine) doesn't
support backing up and restoring these partitions.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So,
in that case you can try various third party tools for example</span></div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 0.56cm;">One
of the most common reason for unusual behavior on the Mac can be a
corrupt preference files. This type of corruption occurs when a
program doesn't tends to open or crashes frequently.</span><span style="line-height: 0.56cm;">
Preference files store all kind of application-specific information,
everything from browser's home page, your default mail font settings,
and even something you might have not imagined like your shortcuts
kept in Finder sidebar. You can find preferences files by </span><span style="line-height: 21.15625px;">following</span><span style="line-height: 0.56cm;"> the written path.</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 0.56cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 0.56cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><kbd class="western"><span style="color: black;"><b>[Your
Home Folder]/Library/Preferences </b></span></kbd><span style="color: black;"><b>for
the associated file</b></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 0.56cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 0.56cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After
finding the corrupt preference file, usually one must delete them.
The next time you launch that fussy application, it’ll recreate a
default version of that file and hence your problem will be resolved.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 0.56cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If
the problem isn't resolved by that, you can put the old preference
file back where you got it so that all of its customized option of
that program will return. Another important thing to know is that
some preference files live within the <kbd class="western"><b>/Library/Preferences</b></kbd><kbd class="western">
</kbd>folder at the top level of your hard drive, but you’ll need
to be a bit more careful around them. Preference files stored in that
location can affect all users of your machine. If still the problem
prevails after deleting the file then you can restore those files if
they are unable to fix the problem in same scenario.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 0.56cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>One
should always create Backup of Preference files!!!</b></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 0.56cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">

</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 0.56cm;">Its
very important to take backup of your preferences files including
your keyboard shortcuts to import/export, preset plugin</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 0.56cm;">s
and your editing program</span><span style="line-height: 0.56cm;">. Without the proper preference file
in place an </span><span style="line-height: 21.15625px;">experienced</span><span style="line-height: 0.56cm;"> editor's productivity can completely
disappear. This brings me too the focus of the article.</span></span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 0.56cm;">Before
discussing about the importance of the Preference file it is very
important to understand exactly what these files contains. The
content of these files vary from program to program, every preference
file contains the program setting and general preferences.
Preferences files may also contains presets for new files which are
user defined modification. Presets save a great amount of time.
Setting them up properly for the first time would </span><span style="line-height: 21.15625px;">definitely</span><span style="line-height: 0.56cm;">, Create
something that user want to keep around always.</span></span></div>

to Take Backup!!!!!!</b></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 0.56cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You
can take backup of your preference files in several ways:</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><div class="western" style="line-height: 0.56cm; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One way to
backup your preference file, is of course, to do it manually . You
can explore the finder to make copies of appropriate files and stick
them on to an external drive.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 0.56cm;">If you </span><span style="line-height: 21.15625px;">don't</span><span style="line-height: 0.56cm;"> want to scroll or browse much then Preference Manager is a
simple way to backup your preference file .</span></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 0.56cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Preference
Manager</b> works with a variety of different programs. Supported
programs include Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer,
Avid Symphony, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, and many more.
Whether your computer dies, your preference files become corrupted or
you just need to work on a different computer, having a backup of
these important files can be a lifesaver for your editing
productivity.</span></div>

Data loss and data corruption are two separate instances of
data disaster that results in financial loss and loss of time. An equal amount
of resources & energy may put into work to recreate data from the scratch.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How Data Loss might
arrive on OS X</b>–Though data is pretty much secure on Mac, still their exist plenty
of reasons which may result in loss of files & folders. Other than
accidental deletion of the file, a data may be lost due to overwriting with a
new file. Other drastic situations may arise from formatting of volume, Trojan
attacks, and abrupt shutdown of system making the files go lost. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With advent of advanced hard drive
technologies, data transfer & storage have become hassle free tasks. But on
the other hand, quick corruption in the hard drive technologies have resulted
in unmounted volumes. These unmounted volumes go undetected by the OS X and
thus data persisting inside the drive is never shown to the user.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
An unmounted volume is a result of corruption in directory
structure of the drive. Though it is a logical error, disk utility or an
advanced volume manager could fix it. Other than logical, a physically damaged
hard drive may also fail to mount. Both the situations are drastic, resulting
in immediate loss of data.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tools to get data from an unmounted hard drive:</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How File Corruption
might occur on OS X Mac</b>–An OS update, even an application update might
sometimes results into corruption of certain files. While the files are still
present (not lost), they may not launch, as they should. Some important part of
the file may have been permanently damaged halting the smooth opening of that
file. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other causes of corruption may be
partial removal of an application, malfunction of the header files, overwriting
of some components of a file etc. What a damaged file requires is a ‘rebuilt’
of lost & broken components. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A perfect example of a damaged file is an Image file (JPEG)
format. Once corrupted, it fails to launch or part of the image file is badly
disfigured. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, a Mac is smart but none application possess the
power to reconstruct the broken images. This results in arrival of 3<sup>rd</sup>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mavericks
is the lastest version of Mac OS, It is a free upgrade available all
over the Globe. It's a <span style="background-color: white;">tender
evolution of the Mac operating system on which Apple.inc was working
for last few years . Whereas Mac is known for its butterly sharp
graphical features and Mavericks contains a long list of such
features, which make it look and feel like a Mac. But is this Really
the future of the Mac?</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background: #ffffff;">Unfortunately,
many glitches are coming along the new version of Mac OS X such as
fair number of bugs in the mail application and in connecting
Thunderbolt storage devices. These flaws are being consigned by apple
in pending update. Instead of these problems, one serious problem on
this perspective is: data loss on Western Digital storage devices.</span><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="background: #ffffff;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="background: #ffffff;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An
Email was sent by Western Digital to its customers regarding the
disastrous interaction between Western Digital management software
and OS X Mavericks. The collaboration between the smartest OS and
the finest external hard drive doesn't seemed amazing at first place
initially.</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Further,
W.D. warned it's customers that users having WD software (WD Drive
Manager, WD Raid Manager and/or WD SmartWare) may lose data on their
respective drives when connected OS X Mavericks.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According
to the company, in most cases the data on the drive can be recovered
with a third party software utility, if the user stops using the
device immediately. In brief this means that if you are affected by
this flaw then you will be forced to use third party recovery
software, and this quickfix may also fail.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">W.D.
has removed some versions of its data mangement software after this
disaster of data loss on WD external storage device. The complaints
of the users were same i.e whether the drive won’t mount or their
data is gone. The problem prevails in WD My Book products, plus
storage devices from Seagate and LaCie. USB, FireWire and Thunderbolt
connections.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">WD
is recklessly working to identify and resolve this issue, till then
WD have taken those three apps down for now and stated this:</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 0.56cm;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

SSD can give your computer a superb boost and make your applications start almost instantly unlike HDD’s where applications may take more time, depend on the space filled and memory it requires to run. However, hard drive is still a top runner when it comes to storing bunch of files and user data but may results in low performance over time due to degraded equipment. So, it’s better to move your current OS from the old HDD to a brand new SSD to get maximum possible speed and use your old drive to store as much data as you want. <br />
<br />
Clean installation of Windows in new SSD would be much easier but may force you to start everything from scratch such as installing all the programs once again, copy data to the drive, customize windows the way it was before etc. So, if you don’t want to take that much headache and simply want to put everything from the old drive to new SSD, we’re describing few simple things to get this done easily. <br />
<br />
<b>What you need?</b><br />
You’ll require SSD drive to use as a destination device and the old drive as a source drive to migrate Windows 8. Keep in mind that SSD prices are almost double as compare to the normal hard drives but you can take a low capacity solid state drive (at the cost of normal drives) to put only Windows and install programs you can’t live without. However, make sure the SSD capacity is equal or greater than the size of C: drive. If the C drive is too big, you can take backup and then delete files from c:\users\. We’ll need this backup later to restore everything back to the old drive. Make this backup copy as updated as possible, just to be sure that you’re not missed anything updated recently. You can use external hard drive or the spare removable storage device to secure the backup copy.<br />
<br />
<b>Note:</b> As the process is little tricky and anything could go wrong. Keeping a copy of professional <a href="http://www.stellarinfo.com/windows-data-recovery.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Windows data recoWindowsvery software</a> is recommended to recover any lost, deleted or formatted data. <br />
<br />
We’ll need a free Drive Cloning tool, called <a href="http://clonezilla.org/" target="_blank">Clonezilla</a> also known as Clonezilla live as you’ll need get an ISO copy of Clonezilla and thereafter, have to create a bootable USB or CD/DVD. Once you’ve opened the website, click on stable release and the ISO file will begin downloading. Burn the downloaded ISO copy to USB or bland CD using <a href="http://www.imgburn.com/" target="_blank">imgburn</a>.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV6zb49PTdd11eWt4hhKbYTx4lOsRDVizUVtY8O-knc91lHY6RUL4hh2fL_jswymu5kSfcClzlxk987Jn7kG5e8z3LkMgTKCxSIDmL9esMhKMQkvWY52OgqF3TKOFpsiPMdsUjBfaGFVc/s1600/CloneZilla+Stable+Release.jpg" /><br />
<br />
During ongoing cloning process, Clonezilla tends to format the destination drive. So it’s recommend to create a prior backup copy or move entire data to an external drive such as USB or flash drive. <br />
<br />
<b>Note:</b> Before continuing with this migration, make sure that you’ve cleared enough files and defragmented the drive to get some extra free space. This is to ensure that the current partition size is at the lowest and could easily fit to the solid state drive. <br />
<br />
<b>How to Migrate?</b><br />
<br />
Hook up your SSD to your computer in the available slots and remove hard drive after taking updated backup. <br />
<br />
Restart your computer and the created USB or CD will take care of the rest such as automatically boot your system using the same and provide various options to clone HDD and transfer it to SSD. If your computer didn’t start automatically using the bootable USB or CD, change the boot sequence from the BIOS option. <br />
<br />
After choosing the display size and preferred language, you’ll get an option to start cloning the drive using Clonezilla. <br />
<br />
<b>Note:</b> Choose Device to device cloning option when screen appears to choose the desired cloning method. <br />
<br />
Once you’ve completed with SSD migration, reconnect the old drive back again and format it to erase everything on the drive and restore files from the backup copy we’ve created previously. <br />
<br />
That’s it. You have now Windows 8 installed on your computer with spare drive left to store almost anything else you want. Just make sure to thoroughly read your SSD user manual to keep it maintained and free from troubles. <br />

A Mac when all in good state of health runs like a charm. It follows your command request and delivers the desired output. However, if a Mac is behaving in an abrupt manner from past many days & you are really concern for its health then don’t waste a time to run Disk Utility. The disk utility is a clinic for Macs where you can run few test to determine the cause of its illness. The First-Aid feature is capable of verifying the individual as well as the entire hard drive of the OS X. It can also adopt corrective measures to put your troubled disk back to work. A below test ran on one of the Mac disk ends up suggesting the hard drive (volume) is absolutely fine. It requires no further repair or attention from the<br />
user. This is always a sign of big relief. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.super-tnt.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/1.png"><img alt="1" class="size-medium wp-image-856 aligncenter" src="http://www.super-tnt.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/1-300x259.png" /></a></div>
<br />
Unfortunately, this sign of relief will not appear on the user’s face if the below report is delivered by the disk utility. As the image suggests the First-Aid tool has found numerous concerns on Mac disk. These concerns are denoted by red lines, which are an indication of danger. These reports marked by red lines clearly indicate the problem persisting in that particular area.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.super-tnt.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/2.png"><img alt="2" class="size-medium wp-image-857 aligncenter" src="http://www.super-tnt.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/2-300x195.png" height="195" width="300" /></a> </div>
<br />
The Disk utility will clearly mention to run a repair immediately and dump the problem at this point. In no time, user can click to Repair Button to fix the faults.
<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<i>“”Note: The Mac OS boot volume can be tested for disk permissions. However, this option is not available for rest of the Mac volumes.””</i></div>
<div align="center">
<i><br /></i></div>
<b>How effective is Disk Utility?</b> Disk Utility is something that can resolve the disk problems on your Mac either instantly or may not fix any corruption. Yes, the reason I said ”May Not” is mostly cited when disk corruption is severe. The hard drive may have gone through series of corruption in catalog files, volume bitmaps, even a corruption of directory structure. Disk utility on Macs boot volume verifies and repair permissions for applications that may have turned bad. The applications may be of OS X and of 3<sup>rd</sup> party software vendors. You will find people recommending running repair permissions feature at times when Mac is slow or an application is not opening. The same is suggested even when a Mac disk goes through corruption. Although effective but repair permissions fails to resolve any of the major corruption that might have crippled a Mac disk. This major corruption can again in the form of directory corruption. The same error is identified by “Invalid Node” error, which in turn is quite unpopular amongst Mac users. The family of Invalid Node error extends to Invalid Entry – Count, Length, Key, header & so on.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Need arises for a proficient disk repair software?</b> Soon you realize the Mac is not going to be treated by the Disk utility, you have to opt for a disk repair utility. Volume repair software will scan the hard drive of the computer and will create a new directory structure for it. The moment it finishes fixing minor bugs in the directory or recreates a new one, you can have your Mac back & running. Not only this, <a href="http://www.essentialmac.co.uk/app-of-the-day-aotd/stellar-software-mac-volume-repair-1-0-review-a-disk-utility-alternative/" rel="nofollow">disk repair software for Mac</a> also heals variety of Invalid Node errors. <strong>Why you may require a bootable DVD? </strong> As we learn above, that errors minor in nature will sorted out by the Disk utility. But a boot disk of Mac facing larger damage may not be treated efficiently by the disk utility. In that case you may require a bootable DVD of your Mac to fix it. The bootable DVD can be created with the help of a repair utility. Once you select your Macintosh OS drive you are prompted to create an image (or DVD) to boot the Mac.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.super-tnt.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/3.png"><img alt="3" class="size-medium wp-image-858 aligncenter" src="http://www.super-tnt.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/3-300x212.png" height="212" width="300" /></a> </div>
<br />
The above is a screenshot of Stellar Volume Repair that is suggesting the user to create a boot DVD in order to proceed with the boot repair. Once the DVD is created, it will boot the Mac and hard drive will become a secondary device. The user can now perform the directory rebuilding on the said volume.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Linux is an open source platform and useful to keep your computing environment highly secured as compare to other OS manufacturers like Windows & Mac. There are many <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distribution" target="_blank">Linux distributions</a> available to use Linux either in command or GUI mode, which mainly consists of Linux Kernel and large collection of software applications such as media player, spreadsheets, word processor, calculator etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Using the Live CD (Any of the Linux Distros), you can run an operating system without even installing it and start exploring all the features. So, if you’re a novice computer user or just wants to try Linux, Live media CD is there for you. You can find a list of available <a href="http://livecdlist.com/" target="_blank">Live CD list</a> and choose any desired Distros. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
This article includes some of the major benefits of having Live CD at your workplace that helps you in getting out of troubles with your PC or provides secured environment while using online banking facilities and so forth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Before telling you the benefits of having Live CD, You’d better learn first about what exactly a Live CD is and how it works?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Live CD is a ‘<b>ready to boot</b>’ and <b>use </b>or so called operating system and can able to run on whatever computer system you were using even in the absence of internal hard disk. Live CD will run from the computer’s internal memory (RAM), so avoid you to perform any write operation around the internal hard disk. Don’t worry about the saved files or programs on your computer as Live CD or DVD or Live USB doesn’t require installation and therefore, leaves the computer settings and saved files behind. <br />
<br />
Developers and experts uses this media to test newly released Linux distributions or to heal sick PC’s. However, you can create a Linux Live CD using an ISO image file of a Live CD available on the various Linux distributions website such as <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop" target="_blank">Ubuntu</a>, <a href="http://knoppix.net/" target="_blank">Knoppix </a>or <a href="http://puppylinux.org/main/Overview%20and%20Getting%20Started.htm" target="_blank">Puppy Linux</a>. You can create bootable Linux Live CD from the downloaded image file using <a href="http://www.freeisoburner.com/" target="_blank">ISO Burner Software</a>.<br />
<br />
These are the three most popular lightweight Linux distributions that come with list of software packages. After downloading the ISO files from any of the aforementioned Linux distributions, you can burn it to CD, DVD or create a bootable USB flash drive. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Live CD Distributions Ubuntu Knoppix Puppy Linux" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhp_8ChVxGrs7__U8YqwTI4HNhkaN9UfynNqKxNVPk_yG8hz2dqfqUUOf3VYXcTJiLCjLcBH0jtU-z5qMGr4jZJwHEtFvMcep27y7772w40uMy39XcFX83RwBr38U5PKj7mTaZ5tC21Ic/s1600/Ubuntu-puppy-knoppix.png" title="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Note:</b> Make sure that you’ve copied all your data successfully before creating a Live CD, if you’ve chosen to test Live CD using USB flash storage media. Below are the reasons that enforces you to must have a copy of ready to boot Live CD:<br />
<br />
<b>Reasons #1. Troubleshoot Problems with Windows </b><br />
Definitely, Windows covers the largest area in operating system market share (around 92%, rest covered by Apples, UNIX, Linux etc.) and majority of users prefer to use it either at workplace or home. However, Windows has lot of exploits and security breaches that sometimes make windows inaccessible or completely fail to start at all and the possible reasons could be registry corruption, file system damages, virus/Trojan attack etc. Now what to do to get your stored files back and fix errors? Live CD comes with unique functionality to automatically load system drivers and OS capability as well as allows users to boot and navigate around your hard disk partitions. Therefore, you can easily copy your stored files to external storage media and perform remedy actions to troubleshoot windows.<br />
<br />
However, sometime window gives error due to off failing hardware and similar problems where Live CD might not to the magic. So if you can’t able to boot using Live CD on the failed Windows, check your hardware first and seek for professional help if the situation seems tricky and out of your reach. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Reasons #2. Recover lost or deleted files</b><br />
Deleted or lost files from the Windows system have high probability of recovery as the existing file system (NTFS) tends to keep a copy of the deleted files into their MFT (Master File Table) as long as the space is not occupied by new files. Live CD could help you to <a href="http://www.stellarinfo.com/linux-data-recovery.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">recover Linux data</a> even from the failed hard drive and similar storage device where navigating through explorer window isn’t possible. In case, the drive is physically damaged and there is no other way left to recover data, try to image the failed drive and perform data recovery from the image. Please note imaging the drive will leaves documents or files that is damaged, virus infected or lost their properties. <br />
<br />
However, it is strongly recommended to use another storage device of same or higher capacity to copy/save the recovered files. You can find more details about step by step recovery using Ubuntu Live CD on <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery" target="_blank">official website</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Reasons #3. Secured Banking Using Live CD</b><br />
According to recent report organized by independent agency, users has higher possibilities of losing their confidential banking details if they’re using Internet Banking online on Windows. Though, experts would never recommend to do this and suggests to use Linux if you don’t want to be a victim of phishing or internet fraud. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
As already stated that Windows were used in majority in all over the world, most hackers or bad programs tends to create and circulate malicious programs only for Windows. Malicious programs can easily got access to the victims Windows computer and makes it easier for hackers to see all the stored files, see browser history and used credentials to access online bank accounts. Whereas, non-Windows OS such as Linux have less vulnerabilities to get caught by virus and thus ensures, much safer computing environment. Live CD provides fast and easy method to convert your Windows computer into Linux and perform the desired actions. Thereafter, you can easily remove or unplug the Live CD/USB and use your Windows computer as before. <br />
<br />
<b>Reasons #4. Not Resource Hungry</b><br />
One of the most famous Linux distributions is Puppy Linux, which runs quite well on older hardware and doesn’t demand high computer memory to run programs properly. Unlike Windows, it won’t always hangs up or freezes at a single screen and instead, provides fast output to any generated requests. <br />
<br />
So if you’ve quite old hardware configured computer machine and doesn’t want to invest in upgrading the hardware, you could make it your Linux computer and start taking all the benefits of using Live CD. <br />
<br />
<b>Reasons #5. Clonezilla Live</b><br />
<a href="http://clonezilla.org/" target="_blank">Clonezilla live</a> comes as a standalone Linux distributions and serves great purposes like imaging or cloning failed drive and start recovering your precious files from created copy of image or clone. Clonezilla tends to clone only used blocks inside the drive and thus, provides fast cloning environment. Clonezilla supports list of file systems for Linux, Windows & Mac.</div>

<div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Below are the collections of few basic Mac OS X errors that come out of nowhere and tease the user to some extent. The first reaction to these errors is certainly tensed but most of them can be solved with the help of few basic adjustments. </div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When Mac says</span> '<i style="color: blue;"><b>No available applications to open it?</b></i>'</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Though this error message is quite minor in nature but many times it causes the user to go complete nuts about it. Safari is an built-in OS X web browser and can't open an executable application on its own. Safari locates the appropriate or associated application on the Mac OS X hard drive to be most suited for the downloaded applications. Anyhow, when Mac's browser could not locate to find such an application that will help execute the application, it out of nowhere prompts this error message. <br />
<br />
<i><b>For Instance</b></i>: I am in the process of downloading a Photoshop file that requires Adobe Photoshop to be pre-installed on my Mac. As the Photoshop application is missing out the OS X the Safari would not hesitate to display this error. <br />
<br />
You can immediately resolve this minor error by identifying the file extension of the downloaded file. This is simple and even a novice can do without any technical guidance. Check out the file extension from its properties. If suppose the file extension is .psb then it’s an Adobe Photoshop image file and you now know which application to download from the Internet. </div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>When Mac says '<i style="color: blue;"><b>You are not authorized to open this application?</b></i>'</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
This error goes on to display on the Mac screen when the application is from the developer which Apple don't trust. With the help of minor settings in the System Preference you can help eliminate this message.</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>go to apple logo and click system preference</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>double click security & privacy icon</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>See the first tab 'General'. Click the lock below to unlock it. It will ask for the password (if any)</li>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Select the third option which is ‘Anywhere’. This allows you to download an app from any developer whether trusted or not trusted by Apple Inc. Actually, doing so is compromising with the system security and be performed only when you are critical about it.</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br />
The other two options in the Security & Privacy Window allow downloading apps only from the Apple App Store and few identified developers respectively. </div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>When Mac says '<i><b><span style="color: blue;">Your Start-up disk is almost full</span>'</b></i>?</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Consider this error message as a warning of start up disk running out of free hard drive spaces. Mac OS is loaded on to a particular volume which helps boot the OS whenever it is ask to do. The OS X all the time needs reserve free spaces to run the execution of the Mac applications perfectly. In the absence of these free spaces, the OS X will begin to respond painfully slow which is not at all good for a computer system. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvk5NRxauFKa6gw7CKArfY6FgIWADyrIILYkqxffnkEn8iD4mL-HLQmbYa1NBo7X2rIx0fZFKWE6Vnqkw0eSUlh8IxQUCKdM2fe7zTXrMzrTzaxbCLvME9biJSdGKmXfTvOcYiCdoFeqk/s1600/startupdisk-f.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvk5NRxauFKa6gw7CKArfY6FgIWADyrIILYkqxffnkEn8iD4mL-HLQmbYa1NBo7X2rIx0fZFKWE6Vnqkw0eSUlh8IxQUCKdM2fe7zTXrMzrTzaxbCLvME9biJSdGKmXfTvOcYiCdoFeqk/s1600/startupdisk-f.png" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br />
If you have sight this error message quite often then you have to gear up and perform cleaning task for your boot volume. You can begin cleaning any possible junk and duplicate data that is eating up the spaces on your boot volume. Be very sure not to delete any system file in a hurry else you will end up in a bigger trouble.</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>When Mac says: “<i style="color: blue;"><b>Not able to install abc.xyz on Mac</b></i>”?</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
There are some technical points to what caused this error to flash on your Mac OS X. Firstly; the hardware of the Mac OS X may be outdated to run a newer application. This is quite a common thing with the PowerPC machines that are unable to launch an Intel based OS X applications. Secondly, even if you have an Intel Mac at your place, its OS X could possibly be the other reason of installation denial. To get the things done, you should have an upgraded Mac with Intel processor and also the supported OS X for the application. </div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>When Mac says “<i style="color: blue;"><b>The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error – 67049.</b></i><span style="color: blue;">)</span>”</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
You must have encountered this strange error on OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) and also on Lion 10.7.5. Remember, Apple introduced Gatekeeper to secure your Mac OS X from malicious apps that causes nasty user experiences.

If this option fails to solve the query then turn up to a free utility that uninstalls or remove your application instantly. <a href="http://pc-mac-tips.blogspot.com/2012/08/handling-error-code-8003-in-mac-os-x.html">Read about the error - 8003 in detai</a>l.<br />

<li>What to do when Mac shows a '<i style="color: blue;"><b>flashing Globe icon at startup?</b></i>'</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
A Flashing Globe on a Mac start screen looks panicking at early. But this is not caused due to any technical glitches or so. It’s just that a network drive has been selected as a startup disk and now OS X is looking for that drive. If the Mac locates the network drive then it will boot into this drive, else it boots back into its own OS X after few minutes of delay.<br />
<br />
The delay however can stretch to few or more minutes but restarting the Mac in agony would make no changes to this process. It is advised to stay patient while the Mac end its search for the network drive and boot normally. </div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>When Mac says "<i style="color: blue;"><b>You are opening the application, ****, for the first time".</b></i>?</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Do you know how and when this error is flashed on your Mac OS X system? <br />
After you ran a clean up utility like Onyx, this error is expected to put up on the Mac screen. As Onyx removes the system caches from the hard drive the OS X treats the application as a fresh one. As we know, Caches are nothing but bits of information and activities that are stored and retrieved when an access of the application is made. Upon the deletion of this stored information (caches) the OS X treats it as you are opening the application for the very first time. This is one of the major side-effects of system caches wiping.<br />
<br />
There would certainly be more basic Mac OS X errors coming with their simple and effective solutions. <i><b>Stay Tuned</b></i>.</div>
