After deleted QT7.2 i couldn't install QT7.1.3!

Because if i install 7.2, my iMovie can't export full quality videos as well as cd-rom. but 7.1.3 can. so i deleted 7.2, but when i install 7.1.3 it says i've already had a newer version of QT installed, what should i do?

The only safe method of installing and older QuickTime version is via archive and install from the Tiger DVD. That will only roll back to whatever version of QuickTime is part of that installer. You can then use upgrades found at this link:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ to get the version you need.

Can't boot anything after deleting C partition in order to install Windows 8.1

I have a ASUS X55VD notebook, wich had a Windows 7 64-bit (and a dual booted Ubuntu, but with Windows bootloader). Yesterday I tried to install a Windows 8.1, so I inserted a disc and restarted.
The window to manually select the partition, on wich it will be installed, came up so I formated C partition where Windows 7 was installed. It did not allow me to install to that partition because, a new format (GPT) had to be used. So i chose to delete the
partition. Deleting was quite long, after wich the computer restated, and after that it only showed black screen.
The Windows DVD is still spinning, but nothing shows. Can't acces the BIOS (none of the keys work).
Tried:
- Hardware reset (battery out>hold power button fro 10-20 sec>put battery inside>start) - No change
- Put a Live Linux DVD to boot from it - No change
- Put a hirens boot cd - No change
- USB boot - No change
- Connect a external keyboard and tried accessing BIOS - Nothing happened
I would suffice with just gettng some of my data from him, and sending him to repair Can't tinker with harware, or it will void my varrancy
Please help. The problem is really urgent.

Hi,
It seems a hardware issue, you can first try to reset the CMOS - remove the cell battery from the motherboard for at least half hour, re-insert it, boot up. The BIOS settings should be reset to defaults. But for better solution, I
suggest you contact the manufacture.

Error:cannot install gmail on original iPad after deleting account and trying to re-install

After entering valid name & password, I get an error that cannot connect to imap.gmail & that ID and/or password have been entered incorrectly.
I have verified everything in the gmail account, and cannot find why this is happening.

Its likely to be two factor authentication.
I had this same issue and spent a long time trying to work out why. It occurred after I got a got a new iPhone. I went as far as resetting all my passwords, deleting my gmail accounts from the iPhone mail app etc. It turns out my issue (and hopefully yours) was that I had two-factor authentication turned on for gmail security. You have to put in a 16 digit unique password into the iPhone mail app rather than your normal sign in password. Generate this by going into your gmail --> settings --> accounts and import --> other google account settings --> security --> (check that 2 factor authentication is enabled) --> click settings next to 2 step verification --> app specific passwords ---> manage app specific passwords --> then use the drop down menus to select app (customise name - iPhone) and device. It will give you a 16 digit password and instructions on where to put it. If you are setting up the account fresh then put the app specific 16 digit password in INSTEAD of your normal gmail password.
I hope that helps you with your problem!

That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly. Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled. I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned. Sorry this happened the way it did. Definitely not efficient.

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this an endemic problem with others? I'm using Google Chrome as my browser. Is this an issue with the problem?

Similar problem just happened to me with the Creative Cloud Update 1.7.1.418—slightly different so I thought I'd share. I have multiple Adobe Creative Cloud programs installed on my computer, all working just fine. I updated the Cloud App to the latest version and then it shows me that I have only one program installed! All my previously installed programs (Photoshop and the like) still work but show as "install" instead of "Up to date". Initially I thought I'd have to re-install the Cloud app or recreate the OPM data base but then I noticed that some of the Cloud app preferences (Apps > Settings > App Language) were different to what I had set previously. I use English (International) language, the update had reverted the app back to English (North American). I flicked back to my previous language and bam, all my apps now show as being installed correctly.

You will have to reinstall OS X. In the future ignore such things. Don't click on any links or dial any phone numbers. They are all phishing scams.
Deleting Safari was not a solution.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Office Professional Plus 2013 - Click to run fails to start - errror message "Couldn't install"

I have just purchased an new PC with 8.1, and have also purchased Office 2013 via the HUP. Now I am trying to start the download. After clicking on the link in the email, a "Click to Run" file is downloaded. When I open the file, it fails
to start the Office 2013 download. I get the message "Couldn't install"
However after trying several options including compatability and administrator options, I still get the message "Couldn't install".
I have checked for compatibility and all checks OK
I am looking forward to an ideas :)
Thanks in advance :)
Richard

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your question. I believe that "Couldn't install" is not the complete error message, it would be great that you can copy and paste the entire message here. It's necessary for the investigation.
Please first check if you have any pre-installed version (Preview edition) of Office on your PC. If yes, please try to use
Microsoft Fix It tool to remove any traces of Office from your computer, then try the installation again:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501
You might also need to follow the manually steps mentioned on the same page to delete the related reg keys/folder structures, and then try again.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Free disk space not changing after deleting (large) photos

Hi,
I wasn't sure whether to post this on the iPhoto board or on the MBA one, since it's not clear if it's a system-level issue or not. Anyway, I had about 30GB of free space on my 256GB MBA and the other day I deleted four or five albums of photos from my DSLR that I'd downloaded to my computer, after I made backups of them elsewhere. In total there were about 3,500 photos, roughly 24MB each on average. I made sure that after deleting them, I deleted my iPhoto Trash as well as the system Trash. Neverless, my level of free space hardly budged and if anything, it decreased slightly. I've read several threads saying to wait a while as sometimes the system takes a delay to adjust - that's fine.
It's now almost five days later and the situation remains the same, if not worse. I ran DaisyDisk and aside from the usual large folders (my movies in iTunes etc, none of which had been added to since I deleted all those photos), the only one I couldn't recognise was this folder iLifeAssetManagement (9GB). I know that there are a few threads about this one, and most people seem to suggest you can clear this if you're happy to lose the content in your Photo Stream. The thing is, I've looked through some of the images in this folder and I'm quite positive that a number of them are from the DSLR albums (there are CR2 files, which I believe is Canon's exclusive RAW format). Some of the others are definitely from my iCloud Photo stream. I'm more than glad to lose all the DSLR ones, though I'd like to keep the iCloud ones and I don't really want to have to sort through 5,000-odd files. I'm positive that this folder is related to why I never gained that free space.
Has anybody else had issues like this and any suggestions for clearing this folder of all the files I already meant to delete, whilst keeping the others? Or have you had issues relating to this? Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.

If you've installed third-party software called "Disk Drill," I suggest you remove it according to the developer'sinstructions. If you prefer to keep the software, refer to the developer for support. Otherwise, see below.
You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed.

Unable to Install Office 2013 Pro and I get returned message "Couldn't Install We're sorry, we had a problem installing your office programs"

I purchased 40 licenses of Office 2013 Pro from a vendor in the US and received 40 product keys along with the URL to download the software - 1 for each pc activation codes. I have done a few and were all successful. I am now trying
install on 2 other pcs and I am having real difficulty and getting error message each time I try to install. I am able to download the installer and copied to my desktop and when I double click to execute it, it gives me the option to run on the next
screen. I click on run then it gives me the message " do you want to allow the program to make changes to this computer". When I press YES, nothing happens and minutes later, I get the flwg message everytime, "Couldn't
install" "We're sorry, we had a problem installing your office programs. Is your internet connection working? Do you have enough free space on your main hard drive? Please try installing again after you've checked the above.
Go online for additional help.
I have lots of space and my pc is Win 7 64 bit new machine. I have connection to internet and I was able to get the others done. What is the problem here and I have been trying to work late night hours to try to install the program and I am unable
to successfully get it to work. I receive the same message every time and I followed all the recommended troubleshoot steps I found on the internet. Someone please help. I have to install all for all the PCs we have for our organization.
Please respond because I am really stuck.

Hi Gabe,
First, please check the suggestion above is helpful. I also suggest you removing all version of Office and re-install Office 2013.
We can try to run the application as an administrator and check if it works.
1. Right click the shortcut of the application or the main application.
2. Select properties.
3. Select compatibility tab and select "Run this program as an administrator."
If there is anything I can do for you about this issue, don't hesitate to tell me.
Best regards,

[Solved] Can't boot into Arch after deleting some partitons

About 6 months ago I installed Arch on a machine that used to run Ubuntu. Had some trouble at the time getting to boot into Arch but somehow managed. Now eventually decided to delete the old Ubuntu partitons to free up some space using gparted. Arch partition number changed from sda12 to sda6.
On rebooting after deleting ubuntu partitions with gparted, I got an ubuntu splash screen and a whole lot of ubuntu boot options. Somehow these were all contained in my Arch's /boot/grub/menu.lst. Arch is all on one partition and no separate boot partition (which I had with Ubuntu - maybe I haven't deleted that and this is the problem?). Will need to check that out.
I can chroot into Arch and did the following -
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd0,5)
grub> root (hd0,5)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,5)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeed
ed
Done.

I need to post this now and come back from a different machine to note the error messages I am now getting on boot. ...
Note that when I boot and press esc to get the menu I get the menu.lst I created (in the second quote) above in /dev/sda6, ie the one with the Arch hd and uuid entries - so grub is looking there and finding that menu.lst, but something goes wrong after that.
OK. Have now booted the machine and after pressing esc and selecting the uuid entry (the same thing happens with the hd entry) I get a whole lot of stuff, but what seems relevant is (typing it out) -
List of all partitions:
No filesystem could mount root, tried:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.39-Arch #1
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. This is my MythTV machine so the WAF is about to take a big dive!
If I could just install grub to the MBR as if this was a new installation of Arch that would be great.
I am really lost as to what is going on, which I'm sure is evident.
Thanks a lot

Hi. Unfortunately that didn't help.
So next, based on this post https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … el_version I chrooted into Arch and (a) rolled back and (b) reinstalled my kernel but that didn't help either. I suspected it wouldn't because the kernel was working fine before I deleted the partitions in question.

[2011-08-08 23:32] upgraded kernel26 (2.6.39.3-1 -> 2.6.39.3-1)
I then did a pacman -Suy and the linux package has now replaced kernel26. ( See this wiki entry http://www.archlinux.org/news/changes-t … filenames/). I didn't change anything in menu.lst owing to this and it seems there is no need to. Unfortunately this hasn't helped either - still getting the kernel panic.

[2011-08-09 00:26] installed linux (3.0.1-1)
I don't think I've mentioned that my old menu.lst seems to have disappeared and so must have been on one of the partitions that were deleted. I did have 2 Arch installations when I was setting things up months ago and that menu.lst may have been on the other partition but pointing to this partiton's kernel for booting. Presumably that's possible since this partiton is definitely the one I have been using for the last several months (confirmed by log and other files updated in the last few days etc). Even so, I suppose that probably wouldn't be relevant to this issue, since grub is finding the menu.lst on this partition when it boots so it is looking in the intended place now.
It seems I'm at a bit of a dead end. It seems these kernel panics are usually because there is something wrong with the kernel - which there wasn't with mine (and presumably the kernel in the new linux package is fine) or there is a typo in menu.lst (I can't see one and nobody has pointed one out yet) or menu.lst is pointing to the wrong partition (mine is pointing to the same partition and /boot directory that is found by grub - which is where my boot image is located - so it seems to be correct). I have nevertheless tried editing the menu.lst entry when booting to boot from different partitions but so far that hasn't worked either.
If anybody has other ideas I'd really appreciate it.
If not, some suggestions on re-installing would also be appreciated. I have a recent tar archive of the partition, but presumably reinstalling that wouldn't be of much use since it would just put back what is currently there. I guess that I need to format the partition, create a separate boot partition, do a fresh install of Arch into the formatted partition (and with boot in the new boot partition). And then restore my tar backup (excluding the boot directory) into the formatted partition?
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Thanks

HT4623 Hi. After I updated ios6, I couldn't use my cellular network. It said "could not activate cellular data network - You are not subscribed to a cellular data service". I don't know why. My iphone is 4s

Contact your carrier to ensure data access via their network is provisioned properly for your account and iPhone with the new iOS 6 update installed.

After deleted QT7.2 i couldn't install QT7.1.3!
