HELP!! Installation of OS X Panther 10.3 stops at Asian Languages Support

I had trouble trying to move the user directory onto another harddrive so I have had to reinstall from scratch. I have a clean harddrive that has been formatted (extended journalled) twice, and written over with zeros...
When the installer get to 'Processing Asian Languages Support' 38% it stops dead and doesn't continue. No error message is displayed. It was frozen for a least 24 hours before I rebooted and tried again, but to no avail.
Can anybody offer any advise?

gemmakls:
The G4 (Gigabit Ethernet) shipped with OS 9.0.4.
With a HDD that has been reformatted, and the data zeroed, you should not have a problem installing unless:
1. You have improper of faulty install disks
2. there is some hardware issue.
Here is what I suggest:
1. Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
2. If that does not help run Apple Hardware Test from the disc that came with your computer.
Good luck.

  • HELP !! Installation stops immediatly after language choice - Windows Installer configuration window

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm trying to solve this probleme for 1 month now.
    Problem :
    I'm trying to install the 30 days trial Premiere Elements 9 on my system : Win XP SP3 - with Windows Installer 4.5 (enough RAM/Disk space etc...)
    Each time, I double click on the " SET UP.EXE", the install stops just after the language choice window, finishing its process by showing a Windows Installer configuration window providing unuseful information like this (it is in French) :
    "Windows ® Installer version 4.5.6001.22159
    msiexec /Option <Paramètre requis> [Paramètre facultatif]
    Options d'installation
    </package | /i> <Produit.msi>
      Installe ou configure un produit
    /a <Produit.msi>
      Installation administrative - Installe un produit sur
      le réseau
    /j<u|m> <produit.msi> [/t <Liste de transformations>]
      [/g <ID de langue>]
      Publie un produit - m pour tous les utilisateurs,
      u pour l'utilisateur actuel
    </uninstall | /x> <Produit.msi | Code produit>
      Désinstalle le produit
    [...ETC.............]"
    The windows has a "OK" button : I click on it and then the installation stops here without any other message. Everytime.
    I tried to resolve the problem by checking/modifying windows installer services process in Win XP, running Windows Clean up utilities, Ccleaner  etc..
    No way, still the same.
    For information, Photoshop Elements 9 trial installation worked on my computer..
    Please help if you can.

  • Which team can help if the name of iView is not translated in other languag

    Hi All,
    Do you know which team can help if the name of iView is not translated in other language such as Portuguese?
    Thanks,
    Eda

    Above statement is correct: contact Portal Team to debug the iView/application.
    But you need to also check with your IT team - because it might be the case that the proper browser setting/network setting is figured to be EN (English - assuming).
    To test, you yourself can verify if it's the case, change the browser language to Portuguese and test the application. If it gets translated to Portuguese, then that means it's the browser/network/ISP setting/configuration.

    the song I downloaded is corrupted-help! It plays for 30 seconds then stops it's a 3:45 song!

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

    What are you talking about exactly?  There is normally no need to install anything to read or write Asian languages on your Mac.  Tell us what language for starters and what it is you think you can't do now.

    These are user-to-user forums, I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post.
    Apple and/or iTunes support can't locate it for you, only you can potentially locate it via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
    If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • Multiple language support help

    I have a large application with more than several hundred sub VIs. Now, we want to modify it to provide multiple language support, for example, Chinese or French.  I have searched the forum and have some clue, but still cannot fit our needs.
    1. from NI site, one method is to export string and import string. But for several hundred sub VIs, do I need to to this several hundred times for each VI? since in our application, some strings are hardcoded.
    2. using excel sheet, everytime read excel file and modify the contorl properities. I am not sure how this works in details.
    Any advice or suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks.

    michenglaoxu,
    Please see the following post, as well as How Can I Use Chinese Characters in LabVIEW on Windows XP?, perhaps it can help also note the following excerpt from Localizing Your LabVIEW Application to Different Languages:
    "You do not need to have a specific language
    version of LabVIEW, such as French, German, or Japanese, to be able to
    enter display text in that language. LabVIEW supports single and double
    byte characters, but it does not support bidirectional scripts (such as
    Arabic or Hebrew).
    If you want to display text in multi-byte
    character sets (such as Japanese, Chinese, or Korean) in LabVIEW, you
    only need an operating system of the appropriate language or an
    MBCS-enabled operating system with an Input Method Editor (IME) for the
    corresponding language. Also, there are several commercially available
    language kits that you can add on to the operating system."

  • Need Help - Installation failing at:  Phase 25 Intsall instance basics

    Hello everyone,
    We are trying to install solution manager 4 on linux readhat E4 (oracle db).  Currently, we are stuck at phase 25 "install instance basics.   I can see at the bottom of the screen, the message says the phase is "Creating instance directories for instance <SID>/scs01.   The error message (only thing I can see in the logs) - and on the error popup is shown before.  Anyhow have an idea of what this could be?  I thought perms, and even 777'd (temporarlily /usr/SAP and /sapmnt/<sid>), and no effect... it seems to point to a function module, but the strange thing is... no one even references this error anywhere on here, or anywhere else...
    Anyhow, all help is greatly appriciated:

    Resolution:
    Kill the process that is running using 3910 Process ID (as the issue is with SCS instance). Once I killed the process retried the install and the issue got resolved.
    Command to check the process that is running on 3910 port
    netstat -a -o -n | findstr "LISTENING" | findstr ":3910"
    Once you know the process ID from the above command killed it using the command below
    taskkill /F /PID <pid>
    I think I faced this issue as I stopped my install inbetween due to memory shortage issue. After resolving the memory issue and retrying the installed the installation porcess would have found the process that did not get deleted.
    Thanks
