Windows cannot access \\.psf\Home\Desktop error message

Scenario: MacbookPro, Leopard (10.5), parallels dekstop installed, windows 7 installed. Windows were updated, same is true with other software in Mac, but you still have the error message.

The workaround for this is:

1) Start Parallels Desktop and start the virtual machine.
2) Navigate to 'Configure' and choose option 'Shared Folders' and uncheck both options 'Share Mac OS X folders with Windows' and 'Share all Windows disks to Mac OS X' then press OK.
3) Uninstall the Parallels Dekstop from where? From Windows Control Panel.
4) Then install Parallel Tools back from 'Virtual machine' on the menu bar of Parallels Desktop.
5)Close virtual machine then restart Mac, after shutting down on Windows 7.
6)Start Parallels Desktop and the virtual machine then navigate to option 'Configure' and choose Smart Guard then check the option 'Enabled' and choose OK.
Shut down Windows and Mac, then see if the problem occurs.

How to activate windows 7 by phone

I have the genuine cd, I installed the windows7 in parallel with Mac, but unfortunately, through the internet when I'm activating it, it says it cannot proceed, either I need to type a new product key or purchase a new one.
There is an option to activate it through phone by dialing 800-4089 (in UAE) but this option is not coming out. So how can I use the phone to activate it, since through the net, it is not working? Here is the solution.

Click Start, go to Run, then type this: slui.exe 4

then press the Enter key. You will notice that a dialog box will be opened for you to activate the windows through telephone. All you need to do is to select your location then dial the toll free number.

Toggle view between LCD to external monitor on Mac systems

I have this client that his PowerBook G4 mac computer has a very dim light after dropping. Checking the computer further, I found out it has something to do with the LCD screen and a replacement needs to be done. The workaround for this problem, if he don't want to replace the LCD is to connect the computer to an external monitor. How do you do that? To set the view on the external monitor, for newer systems, when booting up, press

Command + F1, press for 2 or more seconds,

until the view toggles from the LCD to the external monitor. For some systems, all you need to do is to press on

F7 hold it down while powering on.

More with parallels desktop

Q: What is the side effect of installing a dual boot on mac?

A: Since Mac is using the boot camp, it will slow the booting and turning off processes. While with windows, it won't affect the speed of the booting process.

Q: What is the reason why there is a lag in booting up Mac OS while there's none with Windows?

A: The boot camp recognizes the Windows more than the Mac. Poor guy.

Q: What about installing the parallels desktop, what is the effect?

A: Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac (pls check if there are newer versions, I'm not updated) is good for opening Windows while on Mac OS. As of the moment, it is good for XP and Vista, not yet for Windows 7. Most problems I encouter while in Mac simultanuously with Windows is that some usb devices works with Mac while it won't be opened on Windows and vice versa. Others like the cd-drive also works in Windows but not on Mac and vice versa. Not unless you turn off the computer and start over again with the device connected to it, hope it works.

How to remove the startup items in Mac

In Mac, they are called Login Items. Like Windows, these items are bugging you off every time the computer starts. To turn these items off, click on

Apple icon, System Preferences, Accounts, highlight your account name, Login Items (located on the right pane).

From there, you can hide the services that are coming out every time you restart the computer by merely ticking on the boxes. If you have other account names listed, check it out too coz this will have an effect only on the account that is highlighted.

Check at the bottom of the right pane, there are "+" and "-" symbols. Even without checking the hide option next to an application you want to delete, by merely highlighting it then clicking on the "-" negative sign, it will be removed from the list. Same is true with the positive sign, if you want an application to be included during startup, click this then the application folder will be displayed so you can highlight your choice then click on Add.

How to turn off Voice Over in Mac?

I find it nuisance for the application that's called VOICE OVER in Mac. Accidentally I turned it on while playing with the machine, and I find it hard to turn off! It's too noisy for me and it's becoming redundant coz I can read what I'm pointing at and know what it means, and I don't need some kind of a translator and remind me what the icon of the window or whatever it is. Finally by pressing

cmd + F5 or

fn + cmd + F5

you can turn it off. Very simple dude yet I'm freaking out when I didn't know how to turn it off, hahaha!

Dual Boot on Mac

The world of Mac is becoming bigger every time I experience something new on it. I'm a windows user ayt. This post is as simple as

HOW CAN YOU LOG IN TO WINDOWS USING DUAL BOOT ON MAC MACHINE?

The answer is very simple. Turn the computer off. Press the power button ON, then immediately press and hold the ALT key. 2 options will be displayed, one is the hard drive for your Mac, the other is your Windows. Select your Windows and there you go! If you want to switch to Mac, turn the computer off again then repeat the process. HOW DO YOU INSTALL THE WINDOWS ON A MAC COMPUTER? This topic will soon rise here (got no time yet, I'm in the office).

That is what I hate about dual boot on Mac systems. You have to turn the computer off before you can go to the other operating system. Though Mac introduces PARALLELS DESKTOP as an option to transfer from one operating system to another, I saw problems when using it. Discussion on Parallels Desktop will come sooner.

Parallel Operating System in Mac

(I stand corrected with MAC OS Z), read along....

One of my customers asked me questions about his MacBook problem. He told me that he purchased the MacBook 2 years ago, with the operating system of MAC OS X, to which I dunno the exact version (10 point something), anyway it doesn't matter. He then told me that he partitioned the hard drive into 2 so one partition caters the Mac while the other partition is for XP. Every now and then, he needs to restart his computer to switch from one operating system to another, and he don't like it.
I showed him the newer version of MAC OS Z (is this MAC OS X 10.5 Leopard?), which is available in our store so he can probably purchase another MAC. It has the parallel desktop that it can show and run the programs for both Windows XP and MAC OS Z. MAC OS Z, as I explained is capable of displaying and running programs of both Windows and MAC even without restarting the pc (to save time).

Unfortunately, he don't want to purchase the said MAC. He wanted to me to find out if his old pc, MAC OS X MacBook can be upgraded to MAC OS Z so he can enjoy the full functionality of parallel desktop, or does MAC OS X can be used for parallel desktop too just like the OS Z?

The answer is YES for both questions. His MacBook can be upgraded into MAC OS Z, if he likes it, or simply install this software into his MAC OS X (lower version). The software is called "Parallels Desktop for Mac".

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
1. Current MAC OS X is 10.4 (Tiger) or higher running on Intel® Mac
2. 1GB RAM
3. 32 GB disk space (the more the better)

MAC APPLICATIONS

The store manager then asked me “do you know technical things?”
“Yes”, I answered him back.
“Then why can’t you tell the guy what can Mac computers do?” he questioned again.
“The thing the customer is asking is what applications there are in Mac that is different with Windows. I have limited knowledge when it comes to Mac,” I said.
Then he moved out.

As if he I have to know everything. I'm only human. If the customer has time back then, I can look it up on the internet and answer his questions. It’s just that these people are so intense in giving the customer top of the line services when they cannot give it a 100%. Their catalogs are incomplete, the specifications of a computer is incomplete too, and their salesmen don’t know anything about the technical specifications of a device, when in the first place, they should know a little of it, at the least.

That is not the reason I am here. I am here to give justice to an ailing computer, to repair. And not give the technical specifications and what this specific device can do and so on abruptly. It’s like it’s my fault that the customer didn’t purchase the Mac notebook because of me. There are hundred applications! I’m so pissed off with that manager.

For those of you who doesn't know the application a Mac can have, this site is for you. Go and check this link.
