Can't install packages or copy files.

Just got ARD 2.2, I'm running it from my work laptop which is a 1ghz PowerBook G4 everything seems to work except installing packages and copying files and i can't work out why. I've installed ARD on a G5 that we have here and it doesn't seem to have a problem. Is it a problem with my laptop, is it just not powerful enough? The G5 is running 10.3.9 and I'm running 10.4.4 so is it something to do with Tiger? Any help would be appreciated.

I have seen this problem in a network where the network switches have limits on broadcast packets. If there are broadcast flood limits set on the network switches, this will cause the file copy or package install to fail.
Apple Remote Desktop uses UDP broadcasts to send these files which means no error checking, so when the switch chops off the flood of packets, your copy fails and no recovery is possible.
Try checking with your network administrator to see if this is the case. You can also find the network hub/switch your workstation is plugged in to and see if during the copy activity for every port is lit up, then goes dead. That's what it would look like.

Can I install a second copy of photoshop elements 2.0 on my partners laptop? and can she use it also?

Wow, Thanks for the answer,
As some software has multiple user limitations, i wanted to check that out, in case your only meant to install on only one computer,
so its okay for my partner to use it to?
And also, is it alright to make money from using photoshop elements 2.0?
Do you recommend any free up dates to elements 2.0?
Thanks

How can I tell if someone copied files off of my G4?

I left my G4 unlocked because itunes was running for the stereo, I walked in to my office on someone acting funny. How can I determine if he copied files off of my Dual G4 onto a usb thumb drive, CD or DVD... Can I simply check an activity log, console or terminal?? All I need to know is if someone did anything which my system other then listen to itunes during a three hour window. Thanks in advance

You need to look at your system log in Console utility. Open Console in the /Applications/Utilities folder (cmd-shift-U will get you there right away), which will open with the console.log file. Click the Logs icon to reveal the other log files available, and you should find system.log right under console.log. Click system.log.
Now, in the filter window in the upper right corner of the window, type diskarbitration to filter. That will tell you if any thumb drive was connected, at least. This is the kind of thing you should find, maybe. The time stamp is important.
You may need to go back several swapped system.log versions, to be sure, so you need to then reveal the log files and folders under /var/log by clicking the triangle, then go down that list until you see eight files named system.log.0.gz through system.log.7.gz. Click each in turn and if they are not very short, filter again on diskarbitration.
Now, if you find something suspicious, you need to preserve the specific log file, as it will be rotated out by the daily maintenance. Bring up the Go to Folder dialog from Finder by the keyboard shortcut of cmd-shift-G, and type in /var/log as the name of the folder. This will bring up a folder with the log files of interest, which is normally an invisible folder. Select the log file you want to protect and duplicate it using cmd-D. Then move that duplicate to someplace safe.
You may also find CD burn information in the diskrecording.log file as well.

Can no longer move or copy files between drives (not a newbie issue!)

Copying and moving files between internal and external devices, and external to external devices is no longer working.
*For the first time in my life, I get a "Circle with a Bar through it" when attempting to move or copy files.*
This doesn't happen between the two internal drives at all (though I'm worried it might start). It happens between two HFS+J devices as well as HFS+J and FAT32 devices. I can delete files, create folders, and in some instances where things are acting funny, copy to, but not from the device. A noticed side effect that is now happening is that I can no longer move drive icons (CDs, DVDs, HDs) to their upper-right hand corner position on the desktop, if they didn't start there. They don't drop there, just staying where they originally sat (under a list of desktop shortcuts and files). It does not matter if the drives are USB or Firewire, and this never happened previous to about a month ago.
I have done all the basic stuff -- verify/repair drives, reboot multiple times, mount & dismount, change connection ports, backed up-reformatted-and restored the smallest drive, fixed preferences (not at all relevant), Disk Warrior repair the devices, set all permissions to R/W, check all device related infos, researched on-line for a week... Nothing. I have even taken the devices to PCs, where they work perfectly, and as expected.
This issue is apparently either a corruption, or a bug induced by Software Update, in the part of the system that handles files and file structures, or possibly the _USB and Firewire_ interfaces.
I just need to know where all those relevant parts are in the system folders, so I can attempt to restore them from a backup previous to the last "Software Update," (to be sure. And to bring this one step closer to being solved).
A system restore really is not an option, as that would require nearly two weeks of re-tweaking everything from the system to every piece of software included (updating the system about 10 times via software update, reinstalling 90% of the actual software packages... and then updating those multiple times, looking-up all the serials that get killed, etc.)
I have to correct this fast, as we need to move the files from the work drives to the archive drives before we run out of room. So any help would be very appreciated... even if you only know where a few of the system components are located (it just might be one of those, causing the issue).
---TIA

{The last link in this post is most relevant, except for your recent finding.}
The reference was to the User permissions, per each; as when these
become corrupted, the simple 'repair disk permissions' and other
basic duties do not find an error with them. That is because there is
nothing really wrong with them from that standpoint.
Another odd error can happen if one is resizing partitions in an Intel
based Mac, and also if one has or had a BootCamp partition and
wanted to reclaim space. But not always. Thankfully, the only time
I tried Windows on a Mac, the media install disc was corrupted so
it just didn't happen. That was Virtual PC and Windows on PPC.
Tiger brought with it the ability to non-destructively resize partitions.
However, it was not thought to be successful in non-Intel based Macs.
The discussion on that matter came up a few years ago, so someone
has undoubtably tried that in a PPC and reported findings online.
When file sharing between user-account created content runs amok,
then the system(s) will not allow the content to be moved or shared.
So, if any shared user-account created content (including drives
initialized or handled without permissions ignored, clones wrong,
etc) are not the problem, then how does one explain these wrong
ful action circles-with-lines, or action disallowed warning symbols?
There must be a simpler answer. Do you have cats which have
access to your computers in the off-hours? They do keyboard.
Some have been thought to have technical skills outside of the
usual coy and cute play-acting people think they are limited to.
I'm sticking to the cats theory for now; the time is 3:21AM here
and I only am up to get a drink and look outside at +5°F. calm.

How can I prevent iTunes from copying files to C drive?

I keep all my music files on my D drive. When I installed iTunes, I made sure that each song title in the library was linked to the mp3 on the D drive. Recently I found about 155 music files that are now duplicated in a folder on my C drive named "iTunes music" Most the file modification dates are either 9/11/2010 or 10/25/2010. I tried to think of any action I've taken that might have caused this. The only unusual thing I've done recently with iTunes is try out a new accessory called TuneUp. I've used it to find album art and find details about some songs that were missing, like what album the file came from etc. Is it possible that TuneUp is creating new modified versions of the music files rather than applying the updated data to the original files on the D drive?

That sounds like a good guess.
I know nothing about TuneUp or how it works, and I can't recall where iTunes keeps it's Artwork, but they may very well be related.
Is your settings in iTunes for copying files/where they are stored correct? Perhaps installing the 3rd party application made a change to your settings.
Try tracing back one of the files to your library and see if you can identify an action you took that created the files. For example... look at one of these suspect files and find it in the iTunes library. Sort your music by Date Added and see if you can find a correlation.

Can I install the same copy of FCP X on my MacBook Pro AND my MacPro?

The license agreement for FCS2 allows me to. Does the agreement for FCP X allow the same? If so, how does one go abaout installing on two different machines?

If purchased through the Mac App Store then it can be installed on up to five authorized CPUs. Otherwise, it's controlled by the license that came with the software.
To install on another computer copy the downloaded installer application to the other computer.

Can an Install package checks for existing runtime install?

I am preparing to deploy an updated version of a utility used to read data files generated by several LV driven test systems. This will be deployed to some users that already had installed a previous (first) version and some users that have never installed it. The previous installers will have the LV runtime already installed but the others won't.
Is there a way to have the install package check to see if the runtime is installed so it doesn't waste time installing it again? (Vers 2011)
Likewise, is there a way to check the version of the runtime (main version and patched versions) to know whether to update it?
Trying to make this a semi-professional install package.
Thanks

Clyde can't install packages [SOLVED]

Whenever I try to install a package from clyde (in this case chromium-stable-libpdf), I am returned the following:
:: chromium-stable-libpdf package not found, searching for group...
:: chromium-stable-libpdf group not found, searching AUR...
error: 'chromium-stable-libpdf': not found in sync db
A quick forum search returns quite a few threads with people experiencing the same issue, but these all were solved by simply running pacman -Syy (which I have tried). Pacman seems to work just fine and clyde gives same error when I try with other packages in AUR. I don't install things from AUR very often (last time was probably ~ 2 weeks ago) so I am not certain what package upgrade (if any) would have caused this/when this error started occurring. I know that mirrorlist was updated a little earlier today. Please find my pacman and clyde conf files below (with relevant parts included) and my mirrorlist (I have tried changing to different mirrors). Thank you in advance.

Thanks, rebuilding clyde-git worked. Is there a particular reason why it broke all of the sudden?

If you're not going to use the drive on a Windows machine, you should use Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder) to erase the drive and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition (default):

Can I install a backup copy of InDesign CS6 on my laptop?

I work with a non-profit large community chorus. We are 501(c)3. We are not Adobe cloud members and really don't want to be. We are licensed for two copies of InDesign CS6. I prepare our printed programs/Playbills for our major concerts. Is it OK to install a backup copy on my laptop for those occasions when I have to go to the printshop, proof a program, and make last minute changes?

No, for obvious security reasons, we don't make the serial number discoverable from a copy that is installed.
Assuming that you registered your software with Adobe, you should be able to logon to Adobe's website and go to your product registrations and retrieve the serial number from there. You did register your software, didn't you?

How can I use JAVA to copya file from a location to another location?

Hello all,
I am planning to design a web page (let say an HTML has a form that post fields to a jsp page) that allow me to select a file and then copy it to another location like what we see in email attachement.
Is the any related java class that i can use for this matter or ready JavaBean?
Thanks in advance
Yahya

jspSmartUpload
look for package named com.jspsmart.upload.
Very easy to use to pull a file from a person's pc up to where the form is posted to. You will need to setup your form to type to be multi-part form. Use an input type of file to generate the file browse button.
