My g5 keeps asking for scratch disk...

when i try to open fce, my g5 askes me for my scratch disk, i have the option to reset it or find it. if i pick reset and set up new scratch disk, it goes back to the same window. I cant get it to open fce?
what do i do?

It should be Mac OS Extended, Juornaling can be either on or off. Most hard drives are formatted for windows use and won't work right on a Mac.
Go to Applications>Utilities>Disc Utility. Select the external in the left payne of the window, choose the one slightly offset to the right (there are two disc names). Then in the ERASE section of the main window click the ERASE button (the one next to First Aid. In the Volume Format there are options, choose Mac OS Extended, give the external a NAME and hit ERASE (the one next to Security Options). The drive will be ready for use.
I hope this is a brand new drive?
If you already have some files on this drive you should back them up before this operation or they will be gone.

ITunes keeps asking for a disk while I am trying to uninstall

I am trying to uninstall iTunes so that I can reinstall it. However, it keeps asking for a disk. Also I have tried to use Windows Cleanup Utility 7.2, but get an error when I attempt to run it. I think I may have started uninstalling the components in the wrong order. Any help is appreciated. I am using Windows 8.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
If you cannot get a component to uninstall properly move on to the next one, then delete the named folder. The reinstall should be successful.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I lost my original disk for photoshop 7... I need to update.. it won't let me.. and keeps asking for the disk.. even though the program is on my pc... How can i get my update?

I have photoshop 7 on my pc but have lost my original disk.... I went to update it and the update is not seeing the file on my pc... and it keeps asking for my disk.. but i can't find it...
How can i update it...

Ah, you had Photoshop 7.0 working, and now it's not. I see that as a separate issue to updating it. I'm not sure why it would ask you to update it.
Do you know whether you have 7.0 or 7.0.1 at this point? You might be able to do a Properties function on Photoshp.exe and see that info.
You could make an attempt to reset Photoshop's preferences to defaults. Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.
Only other thing that comes to mind is to use Windows System Restore to restore back to a restore point where Photoshop was working, or restore from a backup (you do make backups I hope).
If that fails, and you need to do a fresh install but no longer have the original disk and serial number I'm afraid you may be out of luck. There's no place I know of from which to download a fresh full copy of Photoshop 7.0.

When Burning a movie, it keeps asking for more disks

I have finally gotten around to trying to burn a movie and after I have everything set to go. I click on burn once then the second time to start burning. It asks for the disk, which I insert. Goes through I believe stage 3, then spits out the disk and asks for a new one. I did this even though I thought it was strange because I obvioulsy can only use one disk to view the movie. So I put the new disk in and let it go a while later it asked for another disk. At this point, I cancelled the burn. Help what am I doing wrong. I have looked through all the help topics and the burning section is very vague.

Studio 8 keeps asking for install disk

Hi-
PC, Win XP SP2, Compaq R4012 laptop. I had Studio MX 2004
installed and downloaded the Dreamweaver 8 and Fireworks 8 demos to
try out. I installed them and used them for a couple of weeks
(Studio MX 2004 was still on my machine at this time--it was my
understanding that I could leave it in place while I demoed DW 8/FW
8). I purchased Studio 8, uninstalled the demo software,
uninstalled Studio MX 2004, rebooted and installed Studio 8. Now
about every third time I start one of the Studio 8 programs I am
prompted to either reenter the Studio 8 registration number or am
asked to insert the installation disks-- a "The feature you are
looking for is located on your installation disk." (or something
like that) window pops up and I have to put in the installation
disk, let it run for several minutes and then, Dreamweaver 8 in
this case, will start just fine. Also, in DW 8 I had associated
StyleMaster with .css files but decided to remove that association
and just use the CSS editor in DW8. However, every once in a while
DW 8 will "revert" its preferences back to using StyleMaster as the
CSS editor. Honestly, I've never had anything like this happen
before. Did the demo possibly mess things up (I've heard of Adobe
demos later causing problems with full installs)? Should I
uninstall and reinstall Studio 8? If so, how can I get a full
"clean" install so that any bits of MX 2004 and/or demo software
are completely removed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?

after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.

Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before.

Keeps on asking for "repair disk" after i moved the application to a folder

Hello, I moved a .app to a folder then whenever i open the app it ask for "repair disk" but when i move it back where it was originally installed, it doesn't have that. is there a way so i can leave that app in the folder and the "repair disk" stuff wont pop up? Also, is someone wlling to give me the icon folder for Adobe Premium CS3 please?

Some apps don't like to be moved - especially if they were installed using an installer program.
If you want to organize your apps, it's best to leave them all where they are in /Applications folder, and create aliases to them. Then organize the aliases into custom folders.

[SOLVED] Diablo 2 wont stop asking for the disks

No matter how I try to install Diablo 2, it always asks for the disk even when the disk in in my drive. I have tried installing it on a Windows XP machine, updating to the latest patch, and then moving it to my computer, and I have tried installing from the disks directly. Both times, it asks for either the Diablo 2 install or the Expansion disk.
What is weird is on my previous Arch build with XFCE4, installing with the disks got far enough to the part where you switch disks but I was having problems unmounting them while still keeping the install going. Transferring from the XP machine worked but the game crashed. This is probably due to my winecfg settings. But I'm not sure what I am doing differently this time on KDE.

Logic keeps asking for serial number after upgrade to 9.1.3

I know this has been asked before, but I'm wondering if there is a solution other than erasing my hard drive etc. I had to do a re-install of my system 10.5.8 and I upgraded to 9.1.3 and now Logic keeps asking for serial number after every shut down (not if I only quit). any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I had already re-installed my OS because computer wouldn't boot up. I had downloaded Onyx and run it which I think was the start of my problems including the missing serial number - so it was looking for serial number even before my upgrade to 9.1.3. I could not find anything called a reg keyfile in either my user or startup disk /Library/Preferences/. When I put in my serial number, I can boot and quit as many times as I want until I shut down.
Here are the 3 console messages that appear when I try to boot up and they are the same that come up after shutting down or on a launch which does NOT ask for serial number:

Yahoo account keeps asking for password on apple mail

hi im running mountain lion and my yahoo account keeps asking for my password every now and then and its getting really annoying. i enter the right password but then it will ask for it again later. its only with my yahoo account. can anyone help? thank you!

go to applications > utilities > keychain access
you may need to enter your password to unlock the lock in the left upper corner.
under keychains select login
under category select passwords
make sure that there are no duplicate entries for yahoo mail. If there are, delete them
if that doesn't work, delete all of the yahoo entries, and go back in mail.app > preferences and delete the yahoo account and reenter the account info from scratch.
doing keychain first aid wouldn't hurt either.
in keychain access, do option-command-A
verify and then repair.
this will probably fix it.

Outlook 2007 and 2010 on Windows XP keeps asking for password

I have a fresh installation of Exchange 2013 installed on Windows 2012 and the problem is that Outlook 2007 and 2010 which is installed on Windows XP keeps asking for password.
The problem occurs only on Windows XP while on Windows 7 is working fine.
Any help will be appreciated!

Hello
I had similar issue in my environment -Exchange 2010 SP2 UR4-v2 ,DAG 2 MBX servers(MBX1 and MBX2) in production site ,2 CAS in production site ,17 mail box databases , Public folder replicated to all the mailbox servers.
strangely users using outlook 2003 and outlook 2007 were being prompted for user name passwords.
investigations were done as follows
1. test connection status -click on the outlook icon in the lower right of the users desktop.clicked on test connection status ..
2. found that the username was being prompted while attempting to connect to the public folder in MBX1 server.
3. using EMC on the exchange server, changed databases pointing to public folder in MBX1 to public folder in MBX2. This solved the issue for us.however we were not sure of what the exact issue was ..was it public folder corruption in MBX1? .we found
that the users were being prompted for username and password only in outlook 2007 and not in OWA or outlook 2010. this made us rule out possibility of Public folder corruption in MBX1 server.
4.raised a case with microsoft to do a RCA (root cause analysis) . The resolution from them was to change the exchange RPC service on MBX1 from "network service" to "local account" and switch back to "network service".
The reason stated by microsoft is "password cache corruption" .Any ways the problem was solved at the server level.
Hope this helps all of you who have been scratching your head over this issue

HT6114 my hot mail account will not let me access it keeps asking for password but won't authorise it?

my hotmail account will not open. keeps asking for password but will not accept the password when i enter it. its the correct passwrd?

Hello Duncan,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Mail on your Mac. I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
If you entered the correct password in the password dialog in Mail, but continue to be asked for your password, try these solutions.
Open Keychain Access, then locate and delete the mail account password item.
Open Disk Utility, select the volume (for your hard disk or disks) in the list, click First Aid, then Verify Disk. After you’ve verified (and repaired, if necessary) the disk, try sending yourself a message.

Urgent help required - linked subreport keeps asking for parameter value

Greetings,
I have developed a report in the Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio 2005. The data is obtained from a stored procedure. One of the fields in the result set is named "Id".
I have embedded a subreport in the details row of the main report. The subreport also gets its information from a stored procedure. This stored procedure has one parameter named "OpportunityId". This field is linked to the field named "Id" above. the subreport has been set to supress blank subreports.
In the development environment and running the executable of the application on the development machine the report works perfectly. The subreport displays as it should and all is well.
When I deploy the report onto user machines where they have the crystal runtime installed, the report keeps asking for a parameter value for the subreport.
I cannot get this to stop happening.
This report is urgently required. PLEASE could someone help me out here.
I am at my wits end.
I have attached a zipe file containing the following:
- the two stored procedure
- the rpt file
- a sample report
- a screen showing the report having just been generated
Thanks in advance,
Robert Lancaster

Hi Robert,I see your report template and stored procedures. All seems to be ok. The most important is to assign the report parameters for all linked subreports (only one in your case). Try this (in C#, in VB.NET the code are very similary): ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument(@"TopFortyReport.rpt");AssignParameters(report, paramCollection);// and now assign parameters to all linked subreports foreach( CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section section in report.ReportDefinition.Sections){ foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject reportObject in section.ReportObjects) { if (reportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject) { SubreportObject subReport = (SubreportObject)reportObject; ReportDocument subDocument = subReport.OpenSubreport(subReport.SubreportName); AssignParameters(subDocument, paramsCollection); }} void AssignParameters(ReportDocument report, object[] paramsCollection){ int nParams = paramsCollection.Length; for (int iParamIndex = 0; iParamIndex < nParams; iParamIndex++) { if (report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields[iParamIndex].IsLinked()) continue; report.SetParameterValue(iParamIndex, paramsCollection[iParamIndex]); }}
