Tried to install  lion on Macbookpro and getting a smart error message?

Tried to install  lion on Macbookpro and getting a S.M.A.R.T error message, software up to date and enough free memory

Do you have the 10.6.8 (or whatever came with the machine) install DVDs?
If so you need to boot up with those and run Dusk Utility off the DVD. Check the S.M.A.R.T status at the bottom of the Disk Utility window when you have the MBP's disk selected. If the status doesn't say  Verified the disk is on its way out its already dead. It needs to be replaced.
If it says Verified then do a Disk Repair on the MBP's disk.  Note any  errors you get and rerun Disk Repair until you get no more errors. If that doesn't happen the disk needs to be replaced.
All this cos I bought an iPad and wanted to use iCloud!
The install hasn't caused this. The disk was going no matter what. Its a good thing that you did the install and caught the error or else you might have lost your whole system.

  • Trying to generate a form twice and get a weird error message

    Hi,
    I installed the last version of Designer and Oracle Database 10G on my computer. Everything seems to be fine. The next thing I did was to unlock the HR schema in the database and capture it in Designer.
    Now I "design" a simple form to display the table REGIONS. If I generate the form, it works fine (I have few warnings). But if I try to generate again, I got the following message:
    Form Generator : Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Build 10.1.2.6.18) - Production on Mon Nov 09 15:02:12 2009
    Copyright (c) 1995, 2005 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved
    Generating Module 'MODULE_01' (1 of 1)
    An internal error has occurred, context and traceback follows...
    Last CV function: cvfqgv
    Last CV object: Module MODULE_01
    Current preference object: Module MODULE_01
    Last function recorded: cgen45() :633
    Repos container name: HR
    Repos module name: MODULE_01
    Generation Complete
    Also, if I close Designer and go back in and try to generate, the form is generated without errors.
    So I would like to know what is the meaning of this message and how I can fix the problem.
    Thanks in advance for any help
    P.S. The order in which I did the installation, in case there is a relation with my problem, was:
    1. Designer
    2. Database
    3. Include the database in the tnsnames.ora of Designer
    4. Repository

    The problem is you are using LDAP for connection instead of Database Authenication.
    Designer is not certified for LDAP connection and this is only the first of a long list of problems you are going to have using LDAP

  • Trying to install itunes on windows vista and get the following error message:

    Trying to install itunes on windows vista and get the following error message: An error occurred during the installation of assembly "Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKey Token="1fc8b3b9a1e3b",process orArchitecture="x86"". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070424.

    A broken Windows Modules Installer then. It's a bit of an involved fix getting past it, but we've had success here with it in the past.
    First, I'd strongly suggest setting up a system restore point.
    Now try the Scenario III treatment from the following document:
    Windows Update Error 80070424 in Vista
    Head back into Windows Update and attempt to get updates again. If they still fail, this time with an 8000FFFF error code, try the following Microsoft document:
    Windows Update error 8000FFFF
    If you get Windows Updates flowing again, stock up on any you're behind on (restarting the PC when requested to do so). This may take some time and may have to be done in several batches, depending on how far you've fallen behind. Basically, keep going back to Windows Update until it stops offering you new updates.
    After the updates have been installed, restart the PC one more time (in order to ensure that any pending installs requiring a restart have been resolved).
    Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the 0x80070424 this time?

  • HT3275 Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP feat

    Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  "Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."  What are AFP features and how do I get Time Machine to backup to my current external backup?

    This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

    For AA XI, you only need the 11.0.09 patch. Download from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows (Use "MAC" if a MAC is used).

    I have tried to install suite 5.5 but get an activation error coming up?

    It is possible depending on the licensing agreement our Sales team may generate expiring serial numbers.  This can be done for trade demos and I have also seen this occur with educational licenses.  As KGlad mentioned please contact our support team and they can verify if the serial number is expired or not.
    You may also want to contact the administrators of your Adobe Creative software licenses to see if they have a new serial number for you to utilize.

  • With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message:  "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old.  To open it, save it with numbers '09 first"  So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

    With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message:  "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old.  To open it, save it with numbers '09 first"  So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

    Numbers 3.x can only open Numbers '09 and later.  You will need Numbers '09 to open Numbers '08 files.
    If it is a single file (or only a few) you can email me and I will open and convert then email back.  My email address is in the "Biography" of my profile.
    You may have Numbers '09 installed.  Look in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09"  if Numbers is in that folder launch it, open the file you tried to open, and save.  Then you should be able to open in Numbers 3.x

    i'm trying to open samsung pc studio and it givesme an error message and windows then tells me my flash player is incompatible with my system...this after i've downloaded the flash player im told is compatible with my system

    In general, when desktop software is using Flash Player, it's because they're embedding an Internet Explorer window in the application.  If you don't have Flash Player for Internet Explorer (aka. the ActiveX Flash Player) installed, then the desktop application isn't going to work. 
    So, fire up Internet Explorer
    Go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Follow the prompts, and then re-launch the application after you've completed the installation in IE.  Hopefully that sorts it out for you.

    first, you just asked me to use MS file Explorer to see what the properties were.,..and to ask what happened. Yes - that's on my hard drive. The problem I have is opening word files in a DB that is web enabled.....I've used Firefox browser for that, and everything else , for years...... When I look at the Tools, and options on FireFox., as your support page noted.....NOTHING is listed in the Applications tab....hence my note asking for help. The file I need to open is a Word file out on a web enabled DB. It's not on my hard drive - I have to problems opening docs there - but for that, I don't use Firefox

    It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
    You can get it here:

    You can download the latest version from here:
