Additional Install

Adobe's default install of other programs not required by Reader should convince all of us to stop using adobe products and file formats. With this kind of behavior, I would even consider moving to the Microsoft XPS format!

PDF is a ISO file format, not Adobe.
BTW: The german version of Adobe Reader doesn't install other programs.

Additional instalation for ABAP Webdynpro

Dear Collegues, I'm on the way to decide which technology should I choose for company developing web application. I was wondering about PDK for .NET as the company has invested a lot in .NET technology so far. But I realized that it is possible to use Web Dynpro ABAP, as far as I know I have ECC 6.0 version of SAP on WAS 7.0 just installed, but as far as I know I can access Webdynpro for ABAP on SE80 level, but when I go there I do not see any possiblity to create Webdynpro components. Could you please guide me what should be additionally installed within ABAP Workbench enviroment. I know that for Webdynpro for Java I need Webdynpro Developer Studio (I was programing some time ago in it) but what about Webdynpro ABAP? Do I need any additional isntallation? Do I need any additional licence? Or maybe some components should be attached in installation of SAP Netweaver 2004s?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards Bogumiila

Hi,
for Web Dynpro ABAP you need <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/e86de5008b4d9ae10000000a155369/frameset.htm">this</a>

VirtualBox Guest Addition install failed

Hello,
I just build a linux-guest virtual box and I am trying to install the guest addition and the first step is to run "/etc/init.d/vboxadd setup". I got the following error:
+"The heaers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following module compilation fails then this could be the reason. The missing package can be probably installed with+
+yum install kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.e15+
+You system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules. Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong. Once you have corrected it, you can run /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup to build them."+
And the log file reads:
+"*** Error: unable to find the sources of your current linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.. Stop"+
I then tried "yum install dkms". This time no error but it says +"No package dkms available . Nothing to do".+ Also, my /usr/src/kernels directory is empty. I dont know if this is part of the reason.
Thanks for the help.

X doesn't start in Vbox with guest additions installed (Solved)

Hi all. I just installed Arch in Vbox and all went well until I installed the guest additions package with pacman. Now X won't start. I uninstalled the guest additions package and X starts normally.
Any ideas?

Missing fonts after additional install...

I've been using InDesign CC for a couple weeks to update catalog pages last edited in CS6 without any issues. Yesterday, I installed Dreamweaver CC and now when I go back to InDesign it says I'm missing Myriad Pro. The font is still installed on my computer, InDesign just can't find it. Am I missing something here?
Thanks

Thank you for the response...I actually just shut down InDesign and started it up again and the font was there. Makes no sense since I had completely rebooted my computer but at least its back.

Upgrade install to 10.5 Mail problems solution

Ok, I am posting this after 2 days of research why Mail behaves crazily after I installed 10.5 via update. I tried archive and install as well with same Mail problems resulting.
Now maybe this wont work for everybody, but it solved all my problems like a charm resulting in Mail working perfectly now.
After one whole annoying day behind the forums I just thought I should post it.
The basic problem was that my Mail didn't want to receive messages while the progress bars were just spinning infinite. Quitting Mail had to be done via Force Quite to stop it.
First thing i noticed was that if I open "*Previous recipients*" panel I get the everlasting spinning beach ball.
So I gathered that there must be some problem in the communication between Mail and Address Book. I backuped the Address Book database and deleted everything I could find connected with Address Book.
Next step was going to Mail folder in my User Library where I deleted all mailboxes .plists and mails because I had some messages I couldn't delete in Mail app. I also deleted other .plist files.
Then I reinstalled Address Book via additional install and rebooted the machine.
Address Book now contained no addresses. I opened Mail, and bingo everything started working, opening "previous recipients" showed 0 contacts and I starter using Mail without problems.
To finish the thing, just backup Address Book ad voila.
Now, maybe that won't sort out everybody's problem, but it sure did mine. And I had all Mail problems described on this forum while sing Mail.
Good luck fixing this highly annoying Leopard feature!

Hi,
Same thing here. All printers gone. Archive & Install 10.5 on a 2.33Ghz MBP. Cannot find my network printers. Tried everything I can think of. When I boot from my external drive (10.4.9) everything works great. Leopard also ate my company VPN and won't give it back. Any help would be welcome.

Can't unmount an internal disk that I installed in my tower

Years ago, I added a supplemental internal hard drive (Maxtor) to increase my storage capacity. It continues to work fine. But...
I'd like to be able to do maintenance on it (verify the directory, make any repairs, etc.), and for that, I need to be able to unmount this disk.
Note: there is no eject icon next to the disk's name in my Finder window.
I always get the error message that the volume could not be unmounted, and I've tried to unmount it several ways:
- Used Terminal to try to unmount
- Used Disk Utility to try to verify &/or repair
- Started up with a bootable clone and tried
- Started up with a bootable Disk Warrior CD and tried
- Tried to reformat/erase the disk (couldn't)
I have backed up to this drive, using "erase & copy files" (from a sparse image backup), and that worked, so apparently it didn't need to unmount the disk to do that. But I can't copy my computer over to my laptop (in Target Disk Mode), apparently due to this problem. Sigh.
Disk Utility tells me to be sure all folders, files, etc. are not in use on this disk, and then maybe it will unmount. But I see nothing in use or open.
NOTE: I have Sys 9 installed on that volume. For a while, I thought maybe OS X somehow keeps a file open that's related to OS 9 (like maybe sort of having it "stand by" in case Classic needs to load when I try to open an old file or something). But that doesn't seem to be the case after all, since I've booted from a bootable clone on a different, external drive (meaning my normal boot drive is not loaded), and the problem persists. But wait, maybe the clone I've booted from is somehow activating the OS 9 disk in that way, still. But wait, that can't be it, since I've booted from Disk Warrior CD and the problem persists.
Shouldn't I be able to do maintenance on that additionally installed internal disk? And doesn't it have to unmount for that? But how can I get it to unmount? If there is a directory problem causing this, how can I repair the directory to resolve the unmounting problem, if it won't unmunt to accept the repairs? And why isn't there a way to just erase the disk and start over? I guess it has to be unmounted first, fir ANYthing. But HOW??
Many thanks.

Hi, Larry.
You wrote: "I always get the error message that the volume could not be unmounted"This implies that you have either:
a. A file open that is saved on that disk.
b. An application or background process running that was either launched from that disk or is using a file on that disk.
c. A Startup Item or Login Item is either being launched from that disk or using a file on that disk, akin to points (a) and (b). See my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ.
Try restarting in Safe Mode and after logging in, launch Disk Utility.
Good luck!

The printer works out of the box with the "old" version of windows perfectly..." Please provide a solution if this user's solution may cause other compatibility issues?

Hello @xandux,
I would like to assist you today with the answers to the questions that you have regarding the HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer.
Q1: The print drivers for the HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer and HP Officejet 7410xi All-in-One Printer are compatible on the same computer.
For the Officejet Pro 8625 you would first run the Wireless Setup Wizard on the front panel of the printer to connect it to the network.
How to Configure Wireless:
On the printer touch screen, touch the Right Arrow () to display the second navigation screen.
Touch the Setup icon (). The Setup Menu screen displays.
Touch Network, touch Wireless Setup Wizard, and then touch Continue.
Wait while the printer searches for routers that are within range of the printer. The Select Network Name menu displays.
Scroll down the list of network names until you find the name of your network.
Touch the name of your network, and then touch OK.
If prompted, enter the WEP or WPA key. This is case sensitive.
The printer will now connect to the network.
Once your printer is successfully connected to the network than you may run the installation of your printer.
The driver package for both Windows Vista and Windows 8.1 is the same. Should you want the latest drivers for the HP Officejet 8625 on both computers please click here to download the drivers. You will need to open that link on both the Vista and the 8 Computers. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. Once the download is complete the installation window will pop open. The onscreen prompts will walk you through the quick and easy install. You simply select that you are connecting a Wireless printer when prompted, the installer will search and find your printer and complete the install. You simply sit back and hit 'next' a few times. For additional install assistance and documentation please click here.
I can assure you that your HP Officejet 7410xi All-in-One Printer will not be affected by the installation of the HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer as they use completely different drivers.
Q2: The HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer uses the HP Printer Assistant Software rather than the HP Solutions Center Software. The Printer Assistant Software installs with the printer. Therefore, there is no separate link available for this. The Printer Assistant will load an icon on your computer that looks like this:
Once you click on that icon you will see a similar screen to this:
Q3: The User Guide for your HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer can be found here. It is for the Officejet Pro 8610/8620/and 8630 products as they are all within the same series.
The Officejet Pro 8625 is identical to the Officejet 8620. For specific specifications for just the Officejet Pro 8620 (8625) series printer please click here.
There are slight differences between the 8610, 8620, and 8630 products.
The Officejet Pro 8610: Print speeds are slightly slow (19 ppm in black and 14.5 ppm in colour), letter size flatbed glass, no automatic duplex copies/scans. The specifications for this printer can be found here.
The Officejet Pro 8620 and Officejet Pro 8630: both models are identical with their specifications. The only difference is that the Officejet Pro 8630 comes with 2 paper trays. The specifications for the Officejet Pro 8630 can be found here.
Q4: For detailed setup and install instructions please refer to the two documents below.
For out-of-box hardware setup instructions please click here.
For installation instructions for Windows Vista and Windows 8.1 please click here.
Q5: There is no switch that should have to be altered when printing envelopes. You simply load the envelope within the paper tray and select Print, just like any other printer. For instructions on how to properly load envelopes please click here. The only issue I have seen is that people aren't 'telling' the program on the computer that the printer is printing envelopes. This may cause a 'paper mismatch' error as your machine 'thinks' it's supposed to pull letter size paper and doesn't detect that as loaded in the tray. If there was a hardware defect with the switch when the HP Officejet 8625 first came out, we are not seeing those issues now so the switch issue must have been corrected.
Q6: Because of the Printhead design within these printers, there must be ink inside the printer to print. Therefore, if you run out of yellow ink, you must replace the yellow ink to continue using your printer. Once a cartridge is empty the printer goes into a 'depleted cartridge' error state. When this happens you are not able to use any features of the printer. The best course of action would be to keep an eye on your ink levels. When you start getting prompts that your cartridge is low, have a cartridge on hand for when the ink finally does run out. What I would recommend is if you're not planning on printing a lot in colour from your computer set the 'Black Ink Only' feature under the driver to ON. If you do not have this feature enabled, when you print from your computer certain print jobs are sent to your printer as 'image' files. If a document is sent to the printer as an 'image' file the printer will use colour ink to enrich the black on the document. This causes the colour ink to run out much faster than anticipated. If you turn Black Ink Only ON only black will be used for black documents. If you want to print a colour document you simply disable the Black Ink Only feature for that specific print job.
For more information regarding why this occurs and how to set Black Ink Only please click here.
Q7: Your machine is designed to go into sleep mode after about 10-15 minutes. This is not a design flaw. Ideally, once your printer enters sleep mode, if you need to print something you simply send the print command and the printer will wake up and respond for you. Occasionally sleep mode has issues. One issue for instance is when you have a networked printer. Sometimes the routers don't send the print command to the sleeping printer properly and that causes the printer not to 'wake up'. This can be corrected with altering settings on your router. The other issue may lie with a programming issue within the printer. The best course of action to avoid sleep mode issues would be to ensure that your printer is running the latest Firmware. The latest Firmware can be downloaded here.
Q8: Again, powersave mode is the same thing as sleep mode. You should have no issues allowing your wireless Officejet 8625 to go into a sleep mode. Once the printer is asleep you simply send a print job to your printer and the printer will 'wake up' and print for you. It is rare to see 'sleep mode' or 'powersave' issues. Always keep the Firmware up to date to avoid programming issues.
Q9: Microsoft has recently released a HotFix to correct wireless printing issues as they have found printing issues within the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Operating Systems. This issue is not specific to HP or the HP Officejet 8625. Rather, the issue seems to affect all wireless printers on the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Operating Systems. The HotFix can be found here. Once the website opens you simply select the button for HotFix Download Available. Follow any onscreen prompts to install the HotFix. There has been a lot of luck with running this fix.
I hope this information helps to clear up any issues you may have. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums!

Can't install Office 2013 64 bit

We just purchased a new Dell workstation which came with Office Pro 2013. Of course the only thing we get now is a piece of paper with the product key and instructions to go to office.com to get the program. I tried this but there are no options to do anything.
I go through the steps and it automatically downloads a setupx86.exe file which installs the 32 bit version. I don't want the 32 bit version and I have spent hours trying to figure out how to get the 64 bit version installed with no luck. With 2010 I was able
to download the 64 bit version and install it. I realize this is all because of piracy but on the flip side Microsoft is going to loose existing customers because it's so hard to do a simple install. How can I do this!?
Thanks

I figured out a method to bypass this issue. The method marked as the answer above will work for a retail purchase attached to a microsoft account
that has already been activated before. This seems to be a recent change to the retail license system.
The way this works is that you got to office.com/setup and type in your product key. That takes you to a page that asks you to login into your microsoft account and then after that it takes you to a download page that shows your product key and has a download
link. At this point, there are NO "Additional Install options." It appears you now have to download you product, install, and activate before the product appears in the "My Products" page with the additional install options (note, it did
not used to be this way...seems to be a recent change.)
By default, the install link in the initial download page will only do x86. the way I got around this was to literally go into the page source code, find the download link for that button, copy and paste it into a url box, and change the "platform="
part from x86 to x64. Below is an example:
c2rsetup.officeapps.live.com/c2r/download.aspx?ProductreleaseID={YOUROFFICEPRODUCT}il&language=en-US&platform=x86&token=.......
to ...platform=x64...
After that, hit enter and it should download the installer for x64. PS be careful with that link as it has your product key in as the "token."
This is really an oversight that should be fixed. After the initial installation and activation, if you go into your my account page it will show up with additional options but prior to initial installation the product doesn't seem to show up in your my
products page with options or (in my case) at all if you just login which forces you to have to go through the office.com/setup page to get back to the inital download page
Hope that wasn't too convoluted and hopefully it helps people in the same boat I was.

How to install Classic on 800MHz SD eMac w/10.4 w/o wiping entire drive??

I've been trying to help out a friend who bought an 800MHz eMac (SuperDrive) used on Craigslist. Machine is in great condition and came with Tiger installed and working fine. She has since installed many of her own OS X apps, but finds she needs to run a few legacy apps and needs Classic installed.
She has a 4-CD set of eMac Software Restore discs, which contain OS 10.1.4 plus OS 9.2.2. These are not standalone installers, however. After mounting Disc 1, she is able to reboot from that CD (into an OS 9 interface), but is only presented with a single option, and that is to erase the hard disk and do a complete restore of the original OSes and apps that shipped with the computer. Since she has spent weeks installing apps and configuring the computer just as she wants it, she does not want to have to wipe the entire drive just to be able to add Classic at this point.
I can think of two alternatives, neither of which will work for her because she does not have access to an external firewire drive, either with or without a bootable system on it. My two methods would be to either:
A. Boot from an external FW drive in target disk mode and then use a standalone OS 9 installer (which she does have) to get Classic on the eMac;
B. Clone the entire hard drive to an external drive and then run the 4 eMac Software Restore discs, update to the latest version of Tiger, and then add back all her additional installed apps and utilities, etc.
1) Am I correct in assuming that method A would, in fact, work?
More importantly, though, can anyone suggest a simpler way to install OS 9 on this machine which would not involve using an external drive? It's so frustrating that the Software Restore disc is bootable (whereas the standalone OS 9 installer disc is not!)...yet there is no apparent way to access just the OS 9 installer on these Restore discs and to run just that installer and not have to reformat the entire drive.
2) Any bright ideas on a relatively simple workaround would be greatly appreciated!
Additionally, it is unknown whether or not OS 9 drivers have been installed on this eMac. I assume, though, that if they had not been installed, then an OS 9 installation would balk and not go through. It would be worth taking that chance, though, as the worst that could happen is that OS 9 would not install. Then there would be no other option but to do a full erase and install from the Restore Discs.
3) Is there any way of ascertaining in advance whether or not OS 9 drivers have been installed?
Thanks in advance for any help!
PowerMac G4/867 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Your initial post notes that OS X 10.4 is installed but 10.1.4 is on the actual restore discs that you have. My recollection is that Apple switched from 10.1.4 to 10.2 late in the production run of the 700 MHz model eMac (specificaly, they upgraded two weeks after I bought my 700 MHz eMac), so a 800 MHz model should have shipped with OS X 10.2, not 10.1.4. There are significant differences in the Restore disc sets between the different OS X versions. In any case it's clear that the discs you have do not include a retail Tiger install disc. You'll eventually want to pick up the retail black-lable Tiger 10.4 Install DVD in case it's ever necessary to reinstall the OS (if the eMac is one that doesn't have a DVD-ROM or DVD-RW drive, the Tiger DVD can still be exchanged for a set of CDs for a nominal fee).
From your later posts, it appears that you do have a separate OS 9 install CD but that the emac won't boot from that OS 9 disc. It rather sounds as if the disc set you have is actually from an earlier 700 MHz eMac model. Open System Profiler and check the video hardware; if it shows ATI graphics rather than nVidia graphics, you definitely have the wrong set of discs. While there's no online link for this, you can call the Apple Store and ask about purchasing a replacement set of discs for the Mac model you actually have (have the info from eMac: How to locate the serial number and identify your model handy if you call).
The OS 9 installation method you need depends on the set of restore disks and the original OS X version that was provided with those discs. Since you have 10.4 installed on a 800 MHz eMac, you'd nominally start with Mac OS X 10.4: Restoring applications from a Mac OS X 10.2 Software Restore disc rather than the older Using Restore Discs with Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.3. Unfortunately, reinstalling Classic following that guide does invovlve erasing the HD, which you want to avoid.
Given the discs you do have is for 10.1.4, you can check the later part of Using Apple Software Restore to install or reinstall parts without erasing (Mac OS X 10.1.5 or earlier) for the steps on how to install parts without erasing. However, if I'm picturing the correct set of Restore discs that you have in hand (there have been enogh different sets of resstore and install discs to make that a royally confusing morass), OS 9 is not on the Restore disc set in versions prior to OS X 10.2; rather, there should be a separate OS 9 Install CD in the set of discs that came with OS X 10.1.4 Macs.
Under the circumstances, unless you acquire the correct Restore discs for that model eMac, your best chance of getting Classic installed would on first thought be to take up Chopsuey's suggestion about dragging the OS 9 System Folder from the OS 9 Install CD onto the eMac's HD, then try to use that to get a hobbled form of Classic open well enough to use Tome Viewer to extract the full OS 9 System onto the HD. Although the OS 9 CD you have from a OS X 10.1.4 disc set would be for an nVidia graphics eMac and your appears to be an ATI model, the actual graphics hardware is driven by OS X, so having the wrong graphics drivers in OS 9 may or may not actually limit Classsic to running in a 640x480 pixel window.
I'm pretty sure you'd find it easier to call the Apple Store for the correct set of Restore discs for that model.
Installing the OS 9 drivers on the hard drive is required to boot the nVidia graphic model eMacs into OS 9 from the HD but is not required to use the OS 9 System Folder to run Classic. Later ATI graphics eMacs won't boot into OS 9 regardless of whether or not the drivers are installed on the hard drive. Either way, if you only want to run Classic, you don't need to reformat the drive to install the OS 9 drivers (nor search for the Terminal hack to put OS 9 drivers onto an already-formatted HD).

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Install Failed

Trying to upgrade a Power Mac Dual G5 from Mac OS X Tiger to Leopard 10.5. When I try to install the Leopard Disc, I keep getting an "Install Failed" message. This is what is said:
Install Failed
Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer
The source media you are installing from is damaged. Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again.
Now, I've used this disc once before for an upgrade on a laptop and worked fine, just started to fail when used on the G5. The disc is not scratched, nor looks damaged. Not sure why it's saying damaged? Any insightful knowledge would be appreciated.
Thanks!

The install disks I have are the ones he got with his Mac Mini. Are there different install disks for iMacs? On the disks themselves, it says "for Mac computers."
Do I have to buy an OS which is specifically for iMac?
The discs that came with his computer have only the necessary software pieces needed to run his computer--it lacks the drivers that would be needed run your iMac. (In addition, installing the same copy of the OS on two computers would be a violation of the license, even if it worked.)
You need to buy a retail version of Leopard or Snow Leopard. Since your iMac has an intel processor, you can buy the cheaper Snow Leopard ($29) from the "Store" tab at the top of this page or anywhere that sells Mac software.

Multiple instance install of NW 7.0 and ECC 6.0

I have a box that is running NW 7.0. I'd like to install an instance of ECC 6.0(IDES) on the same server. Can I do this and still make the NW 7.0 completely separate from ECC 6.0? Would they use different databases? Ideally, I don't won't to affect my NW 7.0 installation by installing ECC. I know there may be a performance hit but the box can handle it. Any tips on how to do the additional install. Is the installer going to ask me any questions about joining an existing NW instance?
Thank you,

Hi tony,
Answer is Yes you can do it as you want with any RDBMS software .The thing you keep in mind you dont need to install database software again if you want to use same software like if you are already using oracle and stil want to use it simply start sapinst to install ECC,and it also does not effect you existing system as ECC will create new database.
So you can do it without affecting existing system but keep in mind Performance .:)
