Can't install 7.7. it's looking for non-existant drive G:

Everytime i try to install i get an error message cannot find drive G:
I only have up to an F drive. Have tried plugging camera and iphone to usb ports to create a "dummy drive G" but no good. Pleeeease help! i really need the new upgrade for my iphone and it requires itunes 7.7!!

I've been fighting the same battle the past 2 days, but when I followed these numbered directions above I thought it would work. Wrong, it still said "A later version of iTunes is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue".
One of the things I noted on the iTunes support page is that VBscript must be installed, and I thought I had it since I have the file: (C:\windows\system32\vbscript.dll).
Anyway, I downloaded VBscript 5.7 from the Microsoft web site, ran the installation, rebooted, and tried reinstalling just the iTunes.msi as described in step 5 since I'd already installed the other components. The install worked this time. I was flabbergasted! Trust me on this, I must have spent 10-12 hours trying everything to uninstall old components, clean up files & directories, and remove all possible registry entries manually, and I could not get past the error message saying I already had a newer version. Only after installing VBscript was I able to get iTunes installed and running!
It is extraordinarily frustrating to have to spend so much time and effort to run a simple software install that should have taken 10 minutes. The developers who thought it was a good idea requiring VBscript be installed on the host machine ought to flogged!

X61: Bios looks for non-existing CDROM drive?

Hi,
I recently observe a problem with my X61. After the machine is power on, it stops (with a blank screen) for about half a minute before starting to boot Vista. I also notice that if I connect a USB CDROM drive to the machine, then it will not stop during the startup process. I think the problem is that the Bios is looking for a CDROM drive which is not there. Since this problem only happen recently, I suspect that it is due to a recent Bios update. I down-graded the bios from v2.20 to v2.19 but the problem still exists. Could anyone let me know which bios version should I downgrade to? Thanks.
Best Regards,
Daniel

Did you check the boot order in BIOS first? By default , the optical drive should be listed, then the HDD. Sometimes depending on your BIOS seup, you'll see one of of the USB devices listed first. If you power on the unit with a USB CDROM already attached to the unit while turning it on, it's possible the BIOS will detect it and try booting from it.
Enter the BIOS at boot by tapping F1
Then Go to "Startup" , then "Boot"
Remember that you can also exclude any item you want BIOS boot order (normally by pressing "X") Use F5 and F6 to arrow up and down the Boot order.
You can also press F9 to try loading the BIOS defaults.
Let me know if this helps.
Cheers,
Mark

How can I install PhotoStich software without it looking for the CD?

I've misplaced the software that came with my T4i. I have downloaded all of the software from the T4i Driver\Software site. I was able to install all of the software except for the PhotoStich software. When I run the installer, it wants to do a CD search. Is there a way to install the software with out it asking for the original CD's?

Yes, but you have to modify your registry.

Fcp looking for non-existent plug ins

i installed some demo audio units plug-ins a while back and didn't like them so i deleted them.
i just had to re-install FCP and now, every time i launch, it looks for each and every one of the audio units. i have to click cancel like forty times to start the program. i've thrown away my prefs, reinstalled the prgram, thrown away all the install receipts, made sure the audio untis are gone etc. I also use Logic Pro as well (that's what the audio units were originally intended for)
thanks
specs: apple g5 dual, tiger os 10.4.3, FCP HD 4.5

Reader looks for non-existent Disk

When I run Reader (X), on occasion (but most times) it displays a dialog box telling me there is no disk in Drive E: (which is one of my CD drives). The files I'm reading are on a different drive. I have to click Cancel twice to continue work. How can I stop this?

There may be something in your registry that points to that E: drive.

How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

Hi,
I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
Before you begin, you will require the following:
USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
Windows 7 ISO Image file
UNetbootin
Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

You should be able to copy all the files from your old computer, although it might not work if the old machine didn't have an intel processor. When I got a new Mac a few months ago, I used the migration assistant to copy everything from my old computer's time machine backup disk. All my old pro apps, such as Final Cut Pro 6, work fine on the new machine under Lion.
Later, I wanted to install Soundtrack pro and couldn't do it from the original disks. So I installed it on my old machine and copied the files. It worked perfectly.

Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos. Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

I tried to upgrade Reader and got a 1316 message. So I thought I would uninstall it and try a new clean download. Now I can't do anything. It is looking for Data\Adobe\reader 9.1.cab, Any suggestions?

You may also not want to shout (large bold print) when you go to the Reader forum. It irritates a lot of folks and may distract from your question.

Win7 install looking for CD ROM driver (after loading from CD) cannot find it so fails to install.

Product: HP-IQ-775
OS? Gone!- Was WIndows Vista HP-SP2, but System Recovery wiped it out!
Error Msg: Current message that is stopping the installation of Windows 7 is "Missing CD/DVD ROM Driver- Please insert disk, or browse to location of driver" Browse accnot find driver needed (whatever it is... it is running form the bootable CD drive, so obviously it found something!)
Changes? Oh yeah, you bet!! I have had so many problems with this machine, I cannot list them all. After running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, which reported only 2 issues, both software and both resolved, all OS upgrades installed, all drivers updated, ran the MS Malicious Software app, then attempoted an upgrade from Windows Vista- Home Premium, Service Pack 2. Long story short, after 3 days of 'installing Windows 7' on the screen, it failed. No explanation just "update failed, system will rollback to Vista". The rollback was uneventful, but sytem began having problems. Missing drivers, USB ports failed, CPU Fan Failure shut downs, blue screen after blue screen. I sent my system logs to an MCSE 'expert' and he reported " there are so many issues in the logs, that it would be a miracle if the machine ever ran again" He suggested Formatting the drive and instaling Win 7 clean. WIth far too much going on with projects, I could not do this. Ultimately, Updates would not work, A/V software would not update, Vdeo software would not run. I contacted Microsoft, and after a week or so of email volleys, they escalated it to thieir 'expert', who after a few hours troubleshooting remotely, and multiple failed System Restores, said the only hope was a System Recovery.
After backing up everything today, I did the System Recovery from the Factory Image, the result was fatal! It went through the first half, erasing my operating sytem and associated files, drivers etc, it reported "Error found in Sytem Configuration, System Recvovery not completed", leaving me with an X drive, a C: drive tith nothing on it, and between the two, sho about 30GB of space total, on a 500GB drive!
I figured this would be the best time to do a 'clean install' of Windows 7, as I no longer had an OS to upgrade! I ran my Win7 Install disk, which ran fine, loaded its files, then reported "missing CD/DVD driver. PLease insert floppy, CD or flash drive, or browse to external drive with driver location"
Needless to say, I could find noting that it would accept. I even downloaded a driver from TSST (CD OEM) but the installer would not accept it from the flash drive. That is where I am now. No OS loaded, partitions screwed up, command prompt finds noting but X: (Recovery files?)29GB, and C: what is left of it, it shows 9GB. Where is the rest of my disk? Who knows.
I have 5 external drives, full system backup on one, all data files on another, System Recovery Backup on another, but cannot access anything with no OS. I can only use the Win7 install boot disk to access the computer at all, and it has limited functionality.
I am writing from my HP-dv-9720 notebook, which has its own OS issues (still running on Vista basic as it will not install SPs), so it is available for email and driver downloads if necessary.
Anyone want this challenge?
Thanks
Doug

WOW! 9 months later and not a sigle response. And now I am back! (Windows7 worked fine BTW!) Now I have the FAN FAILURE, yet the only thing that works on the computer, IS the FAN!! HP is ware of this problem but has done nothing except post a bunch of unrelatre (to IQ-775) stuff! A replacement fan (not that it is needed) is over $300, almost half of what I paid for the entire system!! BS! This is a latent defect and should be fixed by HP!
I currently have 3 HP computers, 5HP printers and an HP plotter! I have been a loyal HP customer fore over 20 years! IF they do not fix this, FREE, I will NEVER buy another HP product again! That is a promise! This is pure BS! The machine will not boot due to a false "fan failure' report. both fans are running fine, and always have. The defect is in the reporting software or fan firmware, NOT the fan!
I will be back in 9 months to answer myself again!

Can I install Mac OS X Lion on an external FireWire800 drive?

Can I install Mac OS X Lion on an external FireWire drive? I have bought a Lion Thumb Drive. I'd like to install Lion on the FW drive and then boot from there. The FW drive is a brand-new LaCie D2 Quadra 2 TB drive that has FW 800, 400, USB, and esATA connectivity. Can't find any manual describing how to do this. Any help appreciated. The more detail, the better. Thanks.

Yes, you can. When you run the installer you will get to a screen where you will see the default target drive, usually "Macintosh HD." Under the icon you will see a link to display other drives. Click on that so you will see the external drive you have connected. Select that then continue the installation.
For simplicity connect the drive using FW800.

All Apple iTunes Store accounts must have a valid form of payment set up. Even for free apps and updates. The Payment Declined message comes from your card issuer or payment source; Apple is just a pass-through for the message. You need to find out why your issuer is declining your card.
