Install crashed out??

I was trying tp update my Blue G3 from 10.2.8 to 10.3. When the install disc restarted my computer all that came up was a gray screen. Now I can't get the computer to boot up at all, not from the disc and not from the internal drive. I have tried rebooting while holding down C and whie holding down D, but this didn't work. I am using an external firwire CD drive because the internal doesn't work. Any advice? Thanks a lot.

Hi brooksy647:
Are you using the black retail Panther CDs, or grey machine-specific Panther CDs?
Have you tried holding down the Option key after turning the computer on? This should launch the Startup Manager, which should let you choose from all valid startup disks it detects.
Finally, how much RAM do you have installed? Panther requires at least 128MB, but it's also fussier about RAM than Jaguar was. If you have more than 128MB, try booting with just the original RAM installed, and see if you have better luck.

  • Premiere 9 crashes out of installation process very early, but Elements 9 installed OK...?

    I have a double pack - Elements 9 & Premiere 9.  Elements installed fine, Premiere crashed out of installation process very early with the following message.  Is this just a faulty DVD?
    "Either Adobe Premiere Elements 9 is not installed on the system or has corrupted.  So please install Adobe Premiere Elements 9 and then retry.
    Your system has not been modified.  To install this program at a later time, please run the installation again."
    This message flashes up within a few seconds of running.  No sign of any application on drive C or start menu.  PC has been rebooted several times (without startup programs).  PC is an Intel Core 2 Duo running Windows 7 with 4gb ram amd lots of free HD space.  I have repeatedly tried to reinstall and it crashes out with same message very quickly.
    Can anyone please tell me where to start from here?

    Hello Mandeep,
    OK, I tried this but my serial number was rejected.  Do I demand replacement from my Adobe Premiere supplier? (on ebay) As you are 'staff' could you check the serial number i was given?  My serial number is
    I would add that the download link you directed me to was for the Premiere 11 version download, whereas I only bought version 9. Just version 9 is fine for my needs.
    Thank you

  • Cant boot from snow leopard dvd and install crashes computer

    Folks, hi, newbie to this forum but at wits end.
    I have a MacBook Pro 17inch mid 2010 model. I added the OMG disk doubler and ditched the internal dvd, so I now have 2 X 500GB hard drives, one of which has the OSX. This disk in trouble and Disk Utility says that it needs repairing, but i need to repair after booting from an different disk.
    So, I added a usb dvd drive and put in snow leopard. It would not boot via holding down 'c' and the option key only saw the current drive. No problems I thought, I will install onto the second hard drive and boot from that. The process got a fair way though (20 mins) and the computer crashed. I checked that it is GUID, tried again, and ditto. So, I made a new partition that was nice and clean -- and ditto. Stuck about now, I tried to format a usb hard drive -- ditto. Hmm, didnt want to, but out came the second drive and in went the old dvd drive -- same issue -- could not boot using c button and the option key did not recognise the snow leopard install. Out came the drive and I went to the apple store -- they told me that the Snow Leopard I had brought was an upgrade and that I needed a Box Set. $169 later and - you guessed it -- the dvd is the same, no start on c, not recognised on option, and the computer crashes if I try and install to the second hard drive or an external drive.
    Help anyone??

    when i go to system prefs- startup, the dvd does not show up in the list of startup drives. The apple salesman said that the OSX install disk I purchased was not a start up disk / full install but rather an upgrade only disk. That is why he said to use the box set as a 'full install' - but both appear to not start up or be able to do a clean install. I just end up with a set of files call Mac OSX install files.

  • Logic crashing out

    Not only Logic but also Ableton are crashing out all the time making it impossible to work with.
    Recently I installed a couple of audio units and also a lame encoder for peak pro so i re traced my steps and removed the most recent audio software installed including the lame encoder. Did my disc permissions and verified disc (which was ok)
    Rebooted and reset p-ram.
    Still getting the same issue and not sure what could be causing it.
    Far from doing a full format and install of osx and all my apps i'm stumped.
    Any ideas?

    There might still be traces of radioactivity in your caches files.

  • Portal install crashes when starting J2EE

    I am installing EP 6.0 on Solaris 9.0.  I have tried bith versions of the portal install.   What happens is when the installation gets to the point where it starts the J2EE, the install crashes.  The prerequisites are met becuse the analyzer checks out, and the machine has ample memory.  Has anyone seen this problem.
    Thanks
       Jeremy

    Try to run the latest analyzer - note 739480.
    If this won't help - open a CSN/OSS message.

  • Dynamic XML PDF crashing out in Windows 8

    Hi all -
    I created a PDF using LiveCycle Designer, saved as a dynamic XML form.  The form works perfect on any Windows 7 machine I have ever tested against, on machines using Acrobat reader X, XI, and all Pro versions (I've been building these types of forms for about 5 years now).  But on my wife's Windows 8 system with Acrobat Reader XI (latest update installed) it crashes out without an error message every time within seconds of opening the form.  It works perfect on my my Windows 7 Acrobat Reader XI, same update of the reader.  ANyone know what Windows 8 problem is?

    Does Adobe Reader work ok with other PDFs on the same machine? If you start it from START instead of double clicking and leave it, does it stay open?

  • Illustrator CS5 crashing out

    Hi all,
    I have installed Illustrator CS5 to a user and it crashes out as soon as it is launched. I have rectified this by giving the user local admin rights to the PC. This isn't a solution but a workaround. My question is: there is obviously some file that the user needs admin/write access to for Illustrator to work, does anybody have any ideas where Illustrator writes to on start up so I can give the user Admin/Write access to just for this folder.
    Thanks in advance
    Webby

    My question is: there is obviously some file that the user needs admin/write access to for Illustrator to work,
    At  most some temporary files, but since these arte stored in the user home  directory and the user and SYSTEM have full access to it, it is  unlikely this would be the problem. All other files require only read  operations eitehr from the user home directory or the program folder.  More likely you are simply not allowing to initiate the services and  they fail to read their data and Registry keys. In any case, all such  things can be easily found out using Sysinternals' Process Monitor set  to filter on Illustrator.exe.

  • Urgent Help iMAC Crashing out of different applications, Safari, Colour,

    Hi
    For the last week my computer has been doing strange things. Firstly I haven't been able to shut it down properly and have to use the button at the back of the computer to shut it down.
    Secondly it has been crashing out of all sorts of applications including Safari, Final Cut Pro, Colour, Word, Adobe Reader, Photoshop etc.

    Hi eagleray,
    Do you have the Apple Hardware Test CD that came with it? Run that if you do.
    Might give a try with Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    As long as you don't have a USB connection in tandem with a UPS, which can cause problems.
    Keep loose track of how many things are fixed on the first 4 steps.
    Report please.

  • I am having problems with cover flow on my i phone when i change to landscape and flick through covers it is very unstabale and jerky and eventually crashes out.

    i am having problems with cover flow on my i phone 4s 32gb when i change to landscape and flick through the album covers it becomes very jerky and unstable and eventually crashes out.

    A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
    But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
    If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
    Important thing is to get access to the TC.
    The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

  • I have ipad 2 16gb wifi, recently it starts autorestart and crashs out of games and apps, more than 20 times aday- tried to restore, updated to the latest 7.0.4 but still the same problem

    i have ipad 2 16gb wifi, since 3 months it started to autorestart and crash out of games and apps, more than 20 times aday- tried to restore-install as new ipad- soft and hard reset-, updated to the latest 7.0.4 but still the same problem
    plz help....

    Vinayaka-
    After all you've tried, Dah*veed is probably right about needing warranty assistance.
    But first check to be sure Settings-Airplane Mode is set to OFF, and Settings-WiFi-WiFi is set to ON.
    Try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds.  Then reset the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  You will need to reconnect to your WiFi.

  • Mountain lion install crashes-corrupted download

    Twice now, after lengthy downloads to my 27" IMac running 10.6.8. the mountain lion install crashed in the early stages with the same error message that the download is corrupted. please delete the install package from the application folder and repeat the download. After the second try, I decided to try downloading Lion which I purchased early this year but never downloaded.
    Any suggestions?

    The installation could not be completed because errors were found on your drive. Boot up again while holding down the option key and the select Recovery partition. From there, open Disk Utility and first verify and then, if needed, repair the disk "Macintosh HD". If your drive is 'fixable' this will repair any errors.

  • Crashing out with Custom L&F

    Hi, I have a couple of problems when trying to use OHJ in a (I think) basic fashion.
    I initialise the hlep with:
    Help help = new Help(true, true, true);
    helpManager = new CSHManager(help);
    URL helpsetLoc = ClassLoader.getSystemResource("help.hs");
    Book book = new HelpSet(helpsetLoc);
    helpManager.addBook(book, true);
    helpManager.setDefaultBook(book);
    This seems to work fine. If I try to use F1 functionality via:
    helpManager.addComponent(myPanel, "myTopic", true, false);
    then nothing seems to happen at all. If I try to launch it on the press of a button, using:
    helpManager.showTopic("myTopic");
    then it crashes out in a big way with:
    java.lang.NullPointerException

    I have a slightly custom L&F in use. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong ??
    Thanks,
    Michael.

    Hi again.
    I solved the crash part. It was mainly down to my Look & Feel not having set some property or other. I'm not entirely sure which, but as the Swing L&F is particularly fussy (and terribly implemented), it would seem it's more of a generic problem, than one with Oracle Help. Anyway, It's working now for whatever reason, so I'm not going to worry too much about that.
    The F1 problem is related to the fact that I'm using JDK1.4. Sun, in their inimitable wisdom, changed the way KeyEvents work, with their new FocusManager, so that only the component that has focus, can receive events.
    This is no good for generic F1 help over say, a Button or panel, which may not be the currently focused component (you have the focus in a textfield, but want contextual help on the component you're holding the mouse over when you press F1).
    Again, I've solved it using a workaround. Basically, it involves making sure any components that need contextual cursor-hover help, implement KeyDispatcher, and the fire events to their KeyListeners whenever they receive a KeyDispatchEvent and the mouse is over them (so they implement MouseListener as well). It's a bit of a kludge, but it provides the user with the correct functionality.
    Thanks for the help.
    Michael.

  • Downloaded Acrobat Pro 7 from Adobe site, won't install, errors out, what do I do now?

    I had Acrobat Pro 7 on my old XP machine. I bought a new Win7 machine. Went to install Acrobat on it from the old CD, with original serial no. Wouldn't activate, said "activation server not available". Went to the Adobe site, that error page linked to a download of an .exe for Acrobat Pro 7 not requiring activation, providing password. So yeah, I thought . . . .Did the whole thing, but the install errors out, every time, and offers no workaround. So I am stuck.  Error popups attached. Any guidance appreciated. I bought the original program, I'm legit.
    The error messages are the usual opaque stuff, I have no idea how I would verify that I have access to a directory that the installer just now created on my hd . . . Why wouldn't I?
    I REALLY really need the Adobe pdf printer driver for all my apps, particularly Sibelius, PDF995 drops things . . . .

    OK, thanks both, yes I have 64-bit so there goes that reliable printer.
    HOWEVER, the URL that 2.Bill gave me is exactly where I downloaded their exe from, the one that *won't install. If you read my post, I am looking for how to make that installer work; I found the folder listed in both error messages, but neither of the referenced files are there, only a similarly named .dll.
    And when I go to delete the entire Acrobat 7 folder so I can start over (I did uninstall it after my install from disk that wouldn't activate), the system tells me I do NOT have access to delete it, I need permission from SYSTEM. But I am the only user on my new PC and as far as I know I have admin rights.
    I waded into the Security settings for the folder, but the system won't let me change them. This is . . . counterintuitive . . .
    I am out of my depth.
    Anyone else have any ideas?
    Thanks for listening,
    Davod
