BlackBook - Error when reformatting - Help please?

Hi,
I recently acquired a second BlackBook. 2.2 GHz, 4GB RAM, 160 GB HD
When it arrived to my home, I wanted to start with a fresh OSX install.
1. I inserted my Leopard disc.
2. I set the target disc to the DVD drive.
3. I restarted
4. I selected my language
5. Immediately, an error pops up and says, "Mac OSX can not be installed on this computer. Please check the minimum system requirements..."
6. I open the Disc Utility and zero out the drive
7. I attempt to install the OS again and get the same error
8. I remove the RAM and replace it with known good RAM
9. I attempt to install the OS again and get the same error
10. I swap hard drives with my current BlackBook inserted in the new machine and OSX loads just fine. Hardware checks out fine in System Profiler
11. I insert the erroring Hard Drive into my BlackBook and am able to load the OS - no problems at all. No Errors.
12. I attempt once again to load the OS with my current BlackBook drive and get the same error on the new machine.
Based on this, is my new machines' Logic Board hosed, or would this be something more like a finicky machine syndrome, or the optical drive?
I did a fresh install with my original laptop onto the new BlackBook Hard Drive and just threw the drive into my new machine and it works fine - no issues. It just seems ultra weird that I can't install the OS on the actual computer for whatever reason.
Any ideas on this one? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi
I was not asking about the nature of my purchase. The machine works fine aside from this issue. It does everything I have asked of it aside from this.

Unknown Hard Error when reformatting. Please help.

Hi, I was going to reformat my HD but got the following error after I inserted the Recovery CD into my CD Rom.
STOP: 0xC0000221 unknown hard error
C:\Winnt\System32\Ntdll.dll
Error 0X 80070456: The media in the drive may have changed PREIN ST6.SWM
Could someone kindly help me please? Is it safe to abort now?
Thanks.

Hi KadeP,
there is indeed not a solution for that CD-problem, since you are getting it when installing from the CD not after the installation, when there is a problem with that specific file on your harddisk.
So, apart from the checking of the CD for physical problems (dirt, dust, scratches) the only other solution would be the use of another CD and maybe doing a full disc-copy of that CD onto a CD-R or CD-RW and hoping the best.
As for the Vista procedures the hatter described, all these has to be done before even installing Vista and also on a Windows PC.
The outcome of that would be a modified Vista Installation DVD, which seems to be installing even on iMacs not really supported.
Since I don't have Vista I never tried it myself, though.
But the hatter is 'our local Vista/Windows 7 genius'
As for the 'old XP CD' you found:
such behaviour/error is usually a sign that the XP CD is not at Service Pack level 2 (SP2) which is a must for XP CDs.
However, you can use these instructions http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp to 'slipstream' yourself a XP SP2 installation CD.
But again, you have to do it on a running Windows PC.

Stefan

EXFAT formatted USB stick - sharing permissions wrong - Read Only - Cannot Reformat - Help please!

EXFAT formatted USB stick - sharing permissions wrong - Read Only - Cannot Reformat - Help please!
Hi.
Having various problems with a USB stick that is formatted in EX-FAT.
It was working fine for a long period.
Yesterday I lent it to a friend to put some things on it.
Now when I try and work on it, I get messages like this.
Mac OS X can’t repair the disk “Disk Name"
You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can’t save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can.
It will also randomly eject the drive.
I have tried to reformat it multiple times, in mac and windows.
[I have never used it in windows previous to this occasion of needing to reformat].
In windows, it crashes the disk when I attempt to format with disk manager [I attempted this due to advice in an internet article].
In Mac , I cannot even try to reformat it, because for some reason the permissions on the USB stick have been set to "read only" and I cannot find any way to change them to read-write, or full permissions, or whatever is appropriate.
I have tried "erase" disk in disk utility. I know how to do a full reformat, but it simply will not allow me to do so.
All the options are greyed out.
Does anybody have any information or links they can point me to?
I've been searching around.
Thanks very much in advance for any advice received.
Running latest mountain lion , 10.8.4, and windows 7 through VMware fusion.

Hibernate Mapping Exception Error reading resource: Help Please

I've downloaded Hibernate this weekend and have been working at getting this up and running in my spare time. I've run into a problem and can't seem to find the solution. I'm hoping some one here can help me out.
I'm running MyEclipse
MySQL
and Hibernate 2 in a struts application
I've only got one form and table that I'm trying to map right now, but I get the above error when I run this line of code.
Configuration cfg = new Configuration().addClass(AddCustomerForm.class);
Does anyone have any ideas. Here are the important sections from the two configuration files

<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
        
        <property name="connection.username">PaintTracker</property>
        <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/PaintTracker</property>
        <property name="dialect">net.sf.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
        <property name="connection.password">PaintTracker</property>
        <property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
        <property name="show_sql">true</property>
        <mapping resource="com/PaintTracker/struts/form/AddCustomerForm.hbm.xml"/>
    </session-factory>

<hibernate-mapping>
     <class name="com.PaintTracker.struts.form.AddCustomerForm" table="customer">

          <property name="company" column="Company" type="java.lang.String"/>
     </class>
</hibernate-mapping>

ok finally gotten back to this and rewrote a bunch of the code. I'm getting almost the same error, but not quite.
I'm still getting org.hibernate.MappingException: Error reading resource: but it is pointing to the first mapping resource located inside the hibernate.cfg.xml.. so I know it is finding and making it inside the hibernate.cfg.xml.
this is the code that the exception occurs in.
the actual line is the configuration.configure(); in the else statement.
public HibernateUtil(URL url2) {
          Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
          log.info("configuration_static is null");
          log.debug("configuring configuration_static from " + url2);
          try {
               if (url2 != null)
                    configuration.configure(url2);
               else
                    configuration.configure();
               this.sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory();
               log.info("Configuration complete");
          } catch (HibernateException e) {
               log.error(e);
               System.out.println(e);
               configuration = null;
               log.info("Configuration failed. Setting config to null!");
     }The resource I am trying to read is located correctly (eclipse lets you navigate to and choose the xml file to use.. it then builds the hibernate.cfg.xml file for you.)
here is a copy of the resource that is giving me a problem... whichever resource I have listed first is the one the exception is thrown for... so I'm hoping I just have something mixed up in the way I'm writing my xml files.
<hibernate-mapping package="com.WorkoutTracker.db.model">

Netboot Errors when starting Service Please Help

Hello,
I'm new to the forums so please let me know if you need additional information.   In Server Admin when I attempt to start Neboot Service I get the following error
The Service has encountered an error
Try to refresh the view (servername/netboot)
(Cannot_start_service_err)
When I refresh the view it looks to be on.
I also get another error in the server log which is:
servermgr_netboot: Failed to start tftpd
I get that error the same time I try to start netboot any insight would be greatly appreciated. We don't have DHCP or DNS running on this server and I don't believe that would cause these errors. I actually setup a test server on a laptop without those services running and was able to successfully netboot, I believe some configuration files got corrupt.
Thanks for your help in advance

IChat error when starting. PLEASE HELP!

Hi
I have had iChat for a while now. I have always had no troubles with the connection. But there is a problem. When I head to my Grandmothers house {which has a NetGear router} an error pop's up when I try signing on. It says " You have attempted to login too often in a short period of time." I always wait a few minutes and then try it again, but it still happens. This never happens when I sign on to iChat at my house, or my friends. I have tried the port number, settings, nothing works. *PLEASE HELP ME!*

Error When Syncing Anything--Please Help

I restored my ipod itouch generation 2 on my new laptop. I downloaded all of the apps I wanted, I have all of the music I want ready on itunes and I have the latest software update for my ipod as well as for itunes. Everytime I try to sync any of my apps, pictures, or music to my ipod I get the same error and it doesn't work. I've restored it multiple times, restarted my computer, and deauthorized and reauthorized my account trying to fix the problem. I'm stuck and have no idea what to do. I can't use my ipod at all, theres no music or anything on it and I'd really like to use it again. Does anyone have any idea what to do? Please? I REALLY need help here.
This is a picture of the error message I recieve after it is done syncing.

When signing into FaceTime on my laptop it says the receiver encountered an error during registration. help please

When i try to sign into my facetime on my macbook pro it always comes up with a little red message saying that the server encountered an error processing registration. please try again later. how can i fix this and use my facetime?

Hi,
As the Other threads suggests I would check the Date and Time settings on the Mac and compare that with the settings in the router.
Messages (and iChat before that) send Time stamped info to Login and to send IMs.
Obviously most people set their Macs to their Time Zone and nearest city/town.
What people sometimes forget is that their Router/Modem device(s) have to be set correctly as well.
EDIT
Also Add a Public DNS server to your System Preferences> Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab
A Google one such as 8.8.4.4 or 8.8.8.8 seem to work well for most people

Error when Submitting book - Please review your billing information

I get the following error message when I submit a book for printing:
Your account information has changed.
Please review your billing information and approve it.
I went here to review my order status but I did not have any orders:
https://mercury.apple.com/WebObjects/OrderStatus
I reviewed my billing information on the web located here:
https://myinfo.apple.com
And it is correct
Any thoughts?

I got the following information from apple - following this fixed my problem:
1. Visit http://myinfo.apple.com and choose your country and preferred language from the pop-up menus. Then log in using your Apple ID and password.
2. Click Address Book on the left. If you see any blank addresses under Shipping Addresses, make the visible address your default, and then delete the blank address.
3. Click Phone Numbers on the left, delete all phone numbers, and save your changes. When you successfully place an iPhoto order, your phone number will be copied from iPhoto to My Info.
4. Check Apple ID, Email, Subscriptions, and Contact Prefs and make any necessary corrections. Save your changes.
5. Now open iPhoto.
6. Select a photo and choose Order Prints from the Share menu.
7. Click Account Info and sign in using your Apple ID and password. If you are unable to log in, try changing your password in My Info using the directions in step 1 above. Then return to step 6 and try again.
8. Click Edit Shipping and choose Add New Address from the Address pop-up menu.
9. Add the desired address into the fields, making sure to create a new label, such as "Home." Then select "Make this my default address" and click OK.
10. Now delete any other addresses listed by selecting them and clicking the Delete This Address button. You should now have only your default "Home" shipping address left.
You should now be able to submit your iPhoto order successfully. If the difficulty persists, please reply to give me the exact error message you see. I will do my best to help you resolve the issue. Thank you for your patience.

Error Itunes -9812: help please

Hi everyone, I've read a lot about the error 9812 when trying to create an itunes account but still cannot find a solution. I'm now desesperated! My computer says Designed for Windows XP and underneath Windows Vista capable. Is this why my itunes store is not compatible? Anyone for repair solution please??????? Many thanks

Hi Steph,
This (the -9812 error) was a widespread problem a while back and most people found that re-registering their .dll security certificates did the trick. Apple posted a help page (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301520) but the Microsoft link no longer works. As such, here are some instructions and a web page reference. Hopefully this will work for you:
To register the DLL files, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 softpub.dll in the Open box, and then click OK. When you receive the message that the DllRegisterServer succeeded, click OK.
2. Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 initpki.dll in the Open box, and then click OK. When you receive the message that the DllRegisterServer succeeded, click OK.
3. Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 mssip32.dll in the Open box, and then click OK. When you receive the message that the DllRegisterServer succeeded, click OK.
4. Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 wintrust.dll, click OK, and then click OK when you receive the message that the DllRegisterServer succeeded.
And here's the web page reference:

Best of luck.

Your question is off-topic for this site. When discovered/reported off topic threads in these forums are locked and/or deleted.
I did take the time to tell you that you are in the wrong place rather than just reporting this thread and the resulting consequences (see above). It is not my fault that you did not bother to do enough research to find if you are in the right or wrong place for your question. It is your responsibility to find the correct resources for your problems.
What you should do at this juncture is go off and find a more suitable support forum/resource for your problem. This forum is not a suitable support forum for your problem.
And if you really feel that you must reply, thanking me for pointing you in the right direction would be the intelligent and appropriate response. And to be clear further responses where you show your anger at me for not giving you what you wrongly feel entitled too would be the incorrect and inappropriate response.
Good luck in solving your problem.

JoJo,
I Had your problem to a 100% match. I took my phone to the Apple store yesterday and it actually turned out to be a bad battery connection. The connector was bent, making contact but screwing up the memory. My second battery replacement on my iPhone 4. $89.00 This absolutely and instantly fixed the problem. Please let me know if this helps ( or any of the ther 4 of you wiht this problem. I just created an account so I could answer your question.The Apple guy did tell em he had to put it in UDE mode whihc doesn't matter a bit if you're not there getting teh battery. I don't know what UDE mode is,. but I see it metnioned here a lot.To re-iterate, he said it would have done nothing for me on my own.
