Posted in Announcements, Apple, Applications, Apps, Leopard, Mac OS X, MacBook, Media, News, Resources, Tech, Troubleshooting, iPhone, iPod, iTunes at 3:12 am by 37prime

Well, I am re-installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on my 15-inch MacBook Pro Core Duo. I have been running Snow Leopard Developer Beta and updating it to the current version. There might be some leftovers that might cause a little problems with some apps, primarily with Adobe Creative Suite 4.

I’ve just finished backing up all the data and now typing this. Synced all the iPhones and iPods too.

Here I go.

BlackBerry would not sync Calendars to Outlook 2007

Scratching my heads figuring out why BlackBerry won’t sync Calendars to Outlook 2007.

All existing Calendars in the BlackBerry won’t transfer to Outlook 2007. Only new entries can be synced.

I’m reading through a lot of articles on BlackBerry Support forums right now.

UPDATE:
Found the solutions to this particular problem on multiple discussions.

Windows 7: Troubleshooting System Crashes.

Posted in Announcements, Apple, Applications, Apps, Leopard, Mac OS X, MacBook, Media, Microsoft, News, Resources, Security, Tech, Troubleshooting, Vista, Windows at 12:21 am by 37prime

I installed Windows 7 Enterprise Edition RTM on my 15-inch MacBook Pro Core Duo. Everything seems to be working well initially. Most device drivers were installed by Windows 7. Boot Camp Windows Support took care of the rest of the drivers including the trackpad, iSight and keyboard drivers.

For some reasons after a few reboots, iSight driver kept crashing. At this point Apple has not officially supported Windows 7 yet.

As expected, Windows 7 prompted me to install some anti-malware software and I opted to install Microsoft Security Essentials Beta. Shortly after Windows 7 started crashing. I tried to roll back Windows 7 using System Restore, but unfortunately it failed. I tried uninstalling Microsoft Security Essentials Beta but it wouldn’t run under Safe Mode. Windows 7 always crashes unless it is in Safe Mode.

I am going re-format and install the system all over again.

Installing Windows 7 RTM on MacBook Pro Core Duo.

Posted in Announcements, Apple, Applications, Apps, Leopard, Mac OS X, Media, Microsoft, News, Resources, Tech, Windows at 4:48 am by 37prime

I was just about to install Windows 7 RTM on the MacBook Pro Core Duo. Unfortunately Boot Camp Assistant is unable to relocate files on the hard drive to create a 32 GB partition.

Well, I’m going to wait for this weekend to see if Snow Leopard would actually be released. It’s an excuse for backing-up and initializing the hard drive.

Until then I’d put this project on hold and installing Windows 7 on an older Gateway PC instead.
