75 Hours to complete full install of FCS2

75 Hours to complete full install of FCS2...
This doesn't sound right. I just recieved my new Early 2008 Mac Pro 8 way 3Ghz with 16GB Ram and the 8800GT. I am installing FCS2, and asked for everything to be installed. Each DVD is taking forever to install, and currently I am only on the second audio content DVD. Doesn't make alot of sense why it is taking soooo long to install. I am updated to 10.5.2 and the Graphics update. I didn't see any warnings or errors in the console, as I had first thought I would have seen DVD errors or something like that. I am curious if anyone else has seen this issue. Thanks for any input anyone has on this issue.

on our work system it was 2 hours on our dual 2.5 g5 and 1.5 hours on our dual quad core MacPro now our Mac Pro 3 1/2 TBs of hd storage and none of them are stripped also there are some minor quirks that show up on the 8800 gt chipset from nvida that could cause data interference from the pci to the ata bus

Snow Leopard 10.6.3 upgrade issues.. I run the full install and my computer restarts to complete the installation, but when it restarts the software has not upgraded. Any suggestions?

I've tried to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. I run the full install and my computer restarts to complete the installation, but when it restarts the software has not upgraded. Any suggestions?

Are you booting from the retail disc to do the installation, or running it while booted from Macintosh HD?
It should work either way, but it doesn't always work when booted from Macintosh HD. The system files are supposed to be moved into place during the restart (while the HD is unmounted) making for a long restart time which sometimes causes people to think somethings wrong and abort it. Which is a bad move.
If you're booting from the retail disc it's less obvious what the problem may be; however if you've tried it from booted from the HD and it's failed, then tried booting from the disc, it will fail again because the system components are already on the HD in a disc image waiting to be moved into place.
Whichever way you were tryig, I'd try downloading OmnDiskSweeper (it's free) and using it to see if there's a large package (around 7-10 GB) lurking somewhere that may contain the installer files. If you do, you'll need to trash that before the installer will see a 'clean' system again.
It's also worth asking how much free space you have on your HD - if there's not enough for the installer to use for the temporary package or dmg, it'll fail.
Was there no warning dialogue after the unsuccessful install?

Why does the Install-SPSolution / Uninstall-SPSolution take exactly 8 hours to complete?

I asked this question
here before and didn't get a usable answer and I see other people are getting the same issue. I did some more testing, added a timer/t to my scripts and discovered that the Install-SPSolution / Uninstall-SPSolution always takes exactly
8 hours to the minute to complete, no matter when I start it. I verified this over several refreshes of my webpart and it is always exactly 8 hours. This applies to both Central Admin and farm solutions. I hope that the duration of 8 hours
to the minute does contain a clue to solve this issue.
This is the PS1 script I use to install the CA component:
param([string]$cadmin2010 = "", [string]$cadmin2013 = "")
Write-Output "Installing MySolution.CentralAdmin.wsp webpart"
Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
Write-Output "Loaded SharePoint environment"
$cadmin = $cadmin2010
if ($cadmin2013) {$cadmin = $cadmin2013}
Write-Output $("Installing webpart on " + $cadmin)
$sln = Add-SPSolution MySolution.CentralAdmin.wsp
Write-Output "Added solution"
Install-SPSolution -Identity MySolution.CentralAdmin.wsp -GACDeployment -Force
Write-Output "Installing solution"
while($sln.JobExists)
start-sleep -s 5
Write-Output "Solution installed"
Enable-SPFeature -Identity b2ff3a66-0f9d-4b4a-9b79-842aeca34d42 -url $cadmin -Force
Write-Output "Feature enabled"
It takes 8 hours before the "Solution Installed" message is printed. Once it completes, everything works fine, but with the uninstall of an old version and the install of a new version, 16 hours is a long wait. This is the output of my script:
C:\Program Files\Product\EFS>RefreshCAComponents.cmd

Please use this code for waiting to deployment finish (it shouldnt take so long):
$solutionFileName = "something.wsp"
$timeout = 1000
$jobName = "*solution-deployment*$solutionFileName*"
$job = Get-SPTimerJob | ?{ $_.Name -like $jobName }
if ($job -eq $null)
Throw "Timer job for '$solutionFileName' not found"
$jobFullName = $job.Name
Write-host "Waiting to finish job '$jobFullName'..."
do
if($timeout -le 0)
Write-host "Failed: timeout"
Throw "Job '$jobFullName' not finished after "+ ($timeout * 2) + " seconds"
Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
Write-host . -NoNewLine
$timeout -= 1
} while ((Get-SPTimerJob $jobFullName) -ne $null)

HT201407 during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings it took 4 hours an completed but my iphone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please

during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #

In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
@TJBUSMC1973-
I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

SQL 2012 SP1 fails to complete, Repair Install fails

Somewhere, SQL 2012 stopped running. This is developer copy. I believe also that SP1 was trying to install and found that SQL Engine was not running. In attempts to repair, I use the DVD and the repair process.   But that stalls/dies
because SP1 is still not completed in install. Deadlock. I was attempting to repair, restore Master but cannt get pass the SP install hang. Any thoughts on how to stop SP1 install, avoid hang and use DVD repair install?

Full-Installed Tiger, iPhoto missing. Should I have started from Panther?

Couldn't find in Search so here goes. For various reasons I chose to go ahead and run a full install of Tiger after my OS crashed. Everything works fine except that iPhoto and GarageBand are nowhere to be found. Should I have started with the original Panther 10.3.2 before installing Tiger? Alternately, can I simply install the missing apps from the Panther software without starting completely over?

Hi, and a warm welcome to the Discussions!
Too late nw, but the Archive and Install feature...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Would've been the way to go.
Normally, those APPs are on iLife disks... do you have them?

Though some install CD/DVDs had optional installs, Load your DVDs and see if there is Custom Install or such on them.

Clean install of FCS2 and QT 7.2 Update

I've backed up my HD and am going to do a clean install of FCS2. After seeing many people having problems with the QT 7.2 update, it looks as if I should only bring QT to 7.1.6. Is this correct, or are people running QT 7.2 with no problems? Thanks in advance.
Mike

David, have you tried your apple DVD Player yet? I got skips, and missing audio that sent me chasing ghosts and rebuilding, encoding, authroing, etc. a DVD until I realized someone had updated the machine to QT 7.2 (Mac Pro)
There was a post up here last week about numerous (myriad) issues with QT 7.2 interfering with almost all apps running in rosetta... If you had symptoms, you's probably see them in other apps such as the browser, and apps which you wouldn't even expect to use QT at all. The system I was dealing with started having problems with Pro Tools and Ableton Live after the update. Apparently all CFM apps are disable with this update.
Anyone know if QT 7.2 restores campatibility with the AVID Meridien codecs that were completly and irretrievably disabled with QT 7.1.6?
Take a little trip over to the Quicktime Forum and check out some of the threads there. I will say it's a different environment over there, although QuickTime Kirk is busily helping folks out. Many of the issues are apparently fixable, but only reason I would eve think about updating to this version would be to re-enable the Avid codecs.
A couple useful fixes posted over there:

HT201456 I have tried to install Windows 8.1 64 on my new Mac Book Pro from a full install disc.

I have tried to install Windows 8.1 64 on my new Mac Book Pro from a full install disc. When I get the the choice of partitions to install Windows 8.1 on the Windows installer says that the Bootcamp partition is not valid.
Has anyone encountered the same issue?

BCA creates the partition as FAT, which the installer needs to format.

Hard drive completely full computer not responding well What to do

My daughters MBPro has been problematic.
Recently it was misbehaving, and I was able to get about 10GB below capacity. Which really helped. Now however she comes to me and says email is not working and weird stuff is happening. So I certainly a novice at best look it over and the hard drive is completely full, zero space. She I am sure has not add much data, if any over the past few weeks that would have taken up 10GB. I noted thaat she did a recent software update, which may have pushed it over the edge.
Anyway, I launched a Carbon copy clone of the HD in order to hopefully prevent total catastrophe. This is running now.
We could not seem to even delete photos, etc. itunes stuff to help a bit. Kept getting error that it could not save itunes library or iphoto library.
Tomorrow I'll bring the computer to Apple Store for help. Is there anything I can do in the mean time??
Regards,
Jim Svarz

OK, it's me, talking about what I would do...
I would delete both "folders" FULL STOP.
There's an article in Apple's KB suggesting to trash anything in the /volumes/ apart from ANY mounted discs or images.
So, o fcourse, it's your call, but my advise would be to trash them.
Considering the number 1 after the name, the files are leftovers from "Free Agent Drive" (some backup software - I guess), therefore safe to trash - there's your HD space!
As to CCC, if you are cloning (as opposed to backing up just a few folders) your clone would have those files on it as well, which is bad and good at the same time...
If you have a recent-ish clone, delete the files from the HD and if everything runs just fine, delete them from the clone as well. If anything refuses to run or crashes (VERY unlikely in relation to those two folders) you can always restore them from the clone.
Please keep us posted, it's worth learning stuff, innit?
PS. Does PS make any sense in electronic writing? I could just edit the text... hmmm...
PPS. Back on the topic. Is "Free Agent Drive" the name of your backup volume? If so, I am 99.9% certain it's a CCC leftover - safe to delete.
Apple KB article (which I can't find at the moment) says that it does happen under Leopard that stuff can get left over in volumes and it's not a fault of any third party software. You will forgive me if I don't spend my night trawling for that article, but you could have a look for it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search

Is it possible to have 64-bit 11g Full Install and 32-Client on 1 computer?

Here's why I ask:
I have installed a full 64-bit 11g R2 install on my Windows 7 D: drive, installed two DB's, worked great. Then I realized application I need to support (Cognos 10.1) requires 32-bit client (for drivers) so I installed the 11g client also on D: drive as well (for space reasons).
My problem is that my registry only shows one ORACLE_HOME--the 64-bit full install whereas Cognos reqs to point to 32-bit client.
My sqlplus in the 64-bit OH worked fine (D:\oracle\app\dock\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe) whereas the 32-bit client sqlplus (D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe) did not work. The error was:
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Mon Sep 26 18:02:30 2011
Copyright (c) 1982, 2010, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Enter user-name: cognos
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
Any login id (sys, system, etc) gave same error. 64-bit sql-plus worked fine. If I opened a cmd prompt and navigated to the 32-bit sqlplus under the client this WOULD work to login (but then I noticed it was using the 64-bit ORACLE_HOME and PATH settings if I typed set). In order to fix Cognos, I changed my ORACLE_HOME and path to point to the 32-bit client (i.e. from D:\oracle\app\dock\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1 to
ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1
PATH = D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\syswow64;C:\Program Files\Intel\WiFi\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\WirelessCommon\
Guess what? This stopped both the 64-bit and 32-bit sqlplus from working, even after bouncing the computer. Now the listener (64-bit) OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener will also not start either.
Sooooo, I think I need to set the OH and PATH back to the 64-bit as that is what the Listener requires but any ideas how to get the 32-bit sqlplus to also work?!? The Cognos application appears to use the default server settings (most likely from ORACLE_HOME and Path) and in it I just type the name of the database and connection string, there's no real way to point it anywhere to differentiate. If it doesn't find 32-bit drivers it throws an error hence the reason I need the client sqlplus, etc to work.
Thanks in advance for any help!

How do I reinstall mac os x 10.5.8 without a full install dvd?

I am needing to reinstall Mac OSX 10.5.8 but don't have the original disk the macbook came with. I have tried using a Snow Leopard full install DVD but I keep getting the error message of "OS X cannot be install on this macbook" (paraphrased). I have tried resetting the PRAM and NVRAM but still nothing.
Any one know how to do this?

Using a Snow Leopard install package will not re-install Leopard.
If you tried using a Snow Leopard install package to install Snow Leopard that shipped with a new Mac purchase, the OS X install package that ships with a new Mac purchase is model specific.
Contact Apple or AppleCare to request a replacement Leopard install package that shipped with your Mac when new.

Boot Camp Slipstream Says a Full Install is an Upgrade, Stalls Out?

I'm attempting to install XP on a 2.16 GHz C2D MBP with Snow Leopard. I have created a 20gb partition using the Boot Camp Assistant. I have created a slipstream CD-R from a combination of a XP SP1 disc (bought the first day XP was released!) and the FULL SP2 service pack as recommended. I followed instructions for the slipstream creation to the letter. Same for the CD.
The install starts up and I declare I want a full install and not a recovery. Then I receive an error notice telling me I have an upgrade disc and must use a FULL copy for the install. Without a way to eject the slipstreamed disc and put the full SP1 disc in, for verification, I am stuck. I see no mentions of this problem anywhere.
I have seen comments concerning similar issues suggest a problem in the disc creation. But I have done the process three times now, revealing all hidden files and ensuring the use of the same legacy burning software mentioned in the slipstream creation posts.
As Boot Camp still offers to download necessary files, a feature that apparently NEVER worked, I am interested to know if anyone can really help me. I live in China and see boot camped Macs everywhere. But they all have hacked copies of XP or 7 running. I want to use a legal copy. How?
I'm installing XP to keep access to great scanners unsupported on Mac and play older videogames.

If you've already done a search in these forums and couldn't find anything then your best bet would be a Yahoo/Google search, (or what ever is used over there.)
Unfortunately it sounds like it still didn't slipstream right, have you tried using it on a Windows machine and see it it works?
Another option is to download a non legal version ( if you can find a "clean" version) then just install your legal serial number. Or even a friends copy of a SP2 or SP3 version and use your serial number instead. From what i've read quite a few gave up and did the same.

Adobe elements photo shop full install does not work. How do I get it to work?

It worked before and now it doesn't. For some reason the computer is treating the full install as if it were a demo. I already registered the product when I first installed...... Only the organizer works now. I uninstalled and re installed but still doesn't work. How do I get it to work...I have windows 8.1...Please help...Thank you.
Somehow the Adobe Manager is not recognizing the full install. Is that possible? There are 2 selections during installation ....trial or product key....
I selected product key since I have the product key. The installation accepts the product key acts like it is installing but then it doesn't run...then I tried the demo installation without the key since I can't enter it in the box in demo mode....that doesn't run either.....Is the Adobe Manager the problem? How do I fix this?
Once again, any help or tips will do...Thank you....

The password prompt is supplied by the operating system, and is intended to protect you from accidentally installing software. You will get this prompt for any installation outside the App Store context.
If you do not need to enter a username or password when starting your computer, you can probably just leave the password field blank when acknowledging this prompt.

Upgrading From Final Cut Pro 5 to 6 - can you use full install disk?

Hi,
I have one MacBook Pro running Final Cut 6 (with Final Cut Studio 2), and another one running Final Cut Pro 5 (with Final Cut Studio). We're looking to upgrade the second one to Final Cut Studio 2.
Does anyone know if the upgrade can be done with the disks from the full install box of Studio 2, using the product key from an upgrade? We happen to be in the middle of East Africa at the moment, so shipping is an issue...
Thanks

You CAN install Final Cut Studio with only the upgrade disk set BUT you will need the product key for BOTH the Final Cut Studio 2 AND the previous version.
After you insert the Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade installation disk you will first be asked to input the product key for the upgrade version and then after you will be requested for the product key of the previous version.
After this, the installation process does NOT require any disks from the previous version of Final Cut Studio.

You need to get rid of MacKeeper (Zeobit). Do not use their uninstaller, follow the instructions here ...
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
When that is done there does not appear to be a lot wrong if you correct the red ink entries.
The 4Gb is sufficient for Yosemite though 6 or 8 Gb would be better. You may find the download slow so be prepared.
