Software versions:

• Boot Camp 3.0 (Mac OS X Snow Leopard)
• Windows 7

Doing a little search, I found the following solution on how to fix the problem.

Update: Apple has made a support article on the issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173

Solution (step by step from the beginning):

1. Run Boot Camp Assistant from Mac OS X Snow Leopard (Applications -> Utilities)
2. Create a partition for the Windows installation using Boot Camp Assistant
3. Plugin your install disc and install Windows 7
4. The system will reboot a couple of times during the installation
5. The problem: The second time the system reboots, you the see the Windows red-green-blue-yellow animated logo, and then the screen goes black and hangs infinitely.
6. Press and hold the power button on your iMac until it shuts down.
7. Start the iMac again holding “alt” key, so you can select and load Max OS X Snow Leopard again.
8. Run any application that let you work with NTFS partitions (e.g. Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X or MacFuse)
9. Find the file “C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ATIKMDAG.SYS” on your BOOTCAMP partition, and simply delete it.
10. Restart you iMac, and boot up Windows 7
11. Now Windows 7 should boot normally
12. Run update windows utility and install Boot Camp drivers from the Mac OS X install disc

Then I got this error, namely “The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved”:

But I did not like the idea of formatting my hard drive due to fix the issue, and make Boot Camp work. However, I found an other solution to the problem, namely installing tool to defragment the hard drive. Defragmentation is not something you usually do on a Mac, but here it came in handy. I found these two tool to do the trick:

• iDefrag (I used this)

• Drive Genius

What the tools basically do, is that they are able to moved the files, which for some reason is blocking the Boot Camp Partitioning.

The below method is not yet tested with iOS 4.0, if you try it, please post a comment if it works.

Most iPhone OS 2.0 / iPhone 3G users have experienced the very slow backup process each time the iPhone is connected to iTunes, and as more applications are installed the process will take even longer. It is possible to just cancel the backup process, and then make a regular Sync without backing up. However, if you want avoid the backup process from starting, there is a workaround. It is possible disable the automatic backup process from starting, and how to do this is described below; firstly for Mac users, and secondly for Windows users:

Mac users:

1. Quit iTunes.
2. Open a Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
3. Type or copy the following command:
   defaults write com.apple.iTunes AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true
4. Open iTunes.
5. Connect the iPhone.
6. Make Sync without backing up.

To enable automatic backup in iTunes again use this command instead:

Note: If you previously have used the command line option that entirely disables the backup feature, then type this command as well to enable to backup process:

Recommendation: If you choose to disable the automatic backup process, it would be a good idea to manually making a backup it once a while to get a safe copy of text messages, call log and like (just right-click your iPhone icon in iTunes).

Windows Users: (updated)

Windows users can use the same approach:

1. Quit iTunes.
2. Press Win+R (opens the Windows Run dialog)
3. Type or copy the following command:
   “%CommonProgramFiles%\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\defaults.exe” write com.apple.iTunes AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true
4. Open iTunes.
5. Connect the iPhone.
6. Make Sync without backing up.

Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins. It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP.
The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a small amount of C++ for installation and shell-integration related functionality. The source code is available under the terms of the MIT License.

Paint.NET can be downloaded at GetPaint.NET

A general component in Mac OS X is the Dock, which provide a graphical user interface feature used to launch applications and switch between running applications. If you use Microsoft Windows as operation system free Dock clones are available too. Actually there are a number of alternatives, where I believe the best ones are these:

• RocketDock
• RK Launcher
• Stardock ObjectDock

The below is a screenshot of RocketDock using the Vista Black theme/skin, which comes with the application. RocketDock is a smoothly animated, alpha blended application launcher, and currently my choice. It provides a nice clean interface to drop and organize shortcuts for easy access.

The quality of icons can be a bit of a problem since poor quality icons scale badly, however, many generally used applications now have high quality icons, e.g. Microsoft Office 2007, VLC Player, Skype, iTunes, Safari etc. For applications that lack of a quality icon, the RockDock provide a icon gallery, where you can find various icons for generally known applications. But to make it all much easier, this page provide a joint collection of icons from the icon gallery, which might fill your needs. Some of the application icons are:

• Microsoft Office XP/2003
• Recycle Bin
• Internet Explorer
• Outlook Express
• Firefox
• Thunderbird
• Adobe Photoshop CS2
• Joost
• CCleaner
• Total Commander
• WinRAR
• and many more…

PrtScr I believe is a better alternative compared to the two previous tools:

Gadwin PrintScreen (update #1)

Gadwin PrintScreen I believe is a better alternative than MWSnap.

MWSnap

MWSnap is a great utility for taking screen captures, which adds the feature of selecting a specific area of the screen and specific elements. The program supports saving screen dumps in BMP, JPG, TIFF, PNG and GIF formats, with user selected color depth and quality settings. It also includes a zooming tool, a screen ruler and a color picker as well as system wide hotkeys and preset selection sizes. A very nice little program, and properly one of the best free tools to make screen dumps on windows.

The program can be downloaded right here.

Below is a screenshot of the Royale Noir skin:

Below is a screenshot of the blue Royale skin:

The Royale themes are new themes for Windows XP that have been leaked out of Microsoft. The theme appears to have come out of a beta version of Windows Media Center 2005 that was in testing. The Royale themes are aesthetic themes and comes with two color schemes Royale (a blue theme) and Royale Noir (a black theme). The Royale theme is refreshingly different to the traditional Windows XP Luna theme.

Just download the theme and extract the .zip into “C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\”, open the folder Royale Noir (“C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Royale Noir\”) and doubleclick the “luna.msstyles”. Select “Royale” or “Royale Noir” from color scheme.
