Computer will not run iDVD at all

My computer will not run iDVD at all. I try to start the application, and it bounces twice in the applications bar and disappears. I have tried to re-install it using the iLife '08 Install CD, but although the CD allows me to install the old themes, it does not allow me to install the iDVD application itself (yes, there is enough space). I have tried opening an iDVD file and exporting an iMovie to the iDVD application, but in neither of these cases will iDVD start up.
Recently my iMovie HD application broke and so I used the iLife '06 install CD to get it working again. That custom install on that CD did not allow me to uncheck iDVD; hence, it is possible that iDVD '06 was installed over '08. Maybe this has messed up iLife '08 so it can't install the newest version over it? I am not sure, and definitely need some guidance here.

I've had the exact same problem on my Powerbook G4. I did a clean install of Leopard, installed iLife '08 and after that iMovie HD '06. I couldn't uncheck iDVD either when installing iMovie '06. I solved it "the hard way" : uninstall iDVD with e.g. Cleanapp (http://www.synium.de/products/cleanapp/index.html), and then install iDVD again (just check iDVD in the list). And it works ...
Apple should work on this: hundreds of people have the same problem (just look at all the posts in the forum and on google). I tried the Apple solution (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306290-nl), but it didn't work at all.
Hope this gets you up and running again.

Applets will not run on Win2k

Hello all, thanks for reading. I have searched the Internet, this forum, and I am at the end of my wits.
I have workstations that must run Java applets for specific sales training.
Several workstations will not run applets at all, and only get the red "x" error described here:
http://java.com/en/download/help/redximage.jsp
I have followed the troubleshooting steps to the letter, and still no applets will run.
Here are the details:
Win2k SP4 with IE6.0SP1
JRE 1.4.2_04 (Manual install - Auto install will not work)
I reinstalled both IE and JRE. I have made certain that only one version of JRE exists. I have checked IE security settings to allow scripts to run, and I have cleared the IE cache. I have checked Java Control Panel settings, to include the Browser tab and the Proxies tab.
I feel like I have run out of options. Can anyone steer me in a new direction? The time crunch is bearing down on me, and a rather large sales force needs these applets to work.
Thanks,
Terry

Hi,
If the telnet command still works and the connection to our database doesn't then there is still a problem with Java on your machine as I think the firewall would have blocked the port, I will check though.
We have seen a couple of problems caused by recent patches, I don't know if they are related yet but on some the MS JVM disappeared (as yours did) and on some the database link died.
In the database link case, the applet appears to be looking at the local machine instead of the host. I'm not sure what other sites this might affect but it may be a problem if you need to access other site.
As we are an e-commerce company, it's difficult to get to client machines that have these problems so testing opportunities are very limited.
On the only machine I've managed to get to, the problem was solved by changing the version of the Sun JVM. Both earlier and later versions worked (I tried all of the ones from this site) so I'm not sure what the problem was.
I have been talking to Sun and Microsoft about this and I am trying to set-up and break a machine here.
Do you have a list of the recently installed patches for the broken machines? It would be very useful.
If so, could you e-mail them to me at [email protected]
RE: the PS, I was just checking out the e-mail address, can't be too careful ;-)

When I download Firefox, my computer will not install and claims it is corrupt

When i download Firefox, my computer will not run the install and claims the file is corrupt.

Firefox versions 3.0 and higher require OSX 10.4 and higher:
[http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/system-requirements-v3.html]
[http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/system-requirements.html]
[ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/Firefox%202.0.0.20.dmg Firefox version 2.0.0.20] is the last ever version of Firefox for OSX 10.3.9 and lower.
However, I would think about finding/creating an unofficial build of Firefox 3 for older Mac (if you cannot get next version of Mac OSX). If it's possible. I don't know.
Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).

Firefox will not run after System restore or running in compatibility mode for windows 98. How do I fix this? I already tried all other solutions on this site.

I was running Firefox fine just yesterday. I screwed up the registry a litle while removing an installed program completely, so I restored the system and everything appeared to work fine. I then decided to play an old video game, Return to Krondor, which was made back in 1998, so I ran the program with no other programs running in compatibility for windows 98. After finishing the game, I closed it and put the computer in hibernation mode. I come back today and firefox will not run at all. It is not running in the background and there are no programs running. There are no services running which could interfere with it. I think somehow Firefox may think I'm in compatibility mode still, but I have no idea.
I'm running windows Vista 32 - bit with an AMD 2.4ghz processor, 4gb ram on an Emachine computer. I have already tried system restore, restart, processes etc. Nothing works. I can still run Internet explorer and all other programs.

The person that I was assisting, has Windows 7 which has 64 bit system. Her browser was IE 10.
Was IE11 ever offered (or installed) via Windows Update?
Is her computer currently fully-patched at Windows Update?
Is Adobe Shockwave Player v12.1 (or higher) installed on her computer?
Is Adobe Flash Player v15.0.0.189 (or higher) installed on her computer?

Mac OS 10.5 /
I deleted the " Private" folder ... and emptied the trash. So the folder and its contents no longer exists on my computer at all !!!
I do have the OS 10.5 dvd that i purchased years ago...
But my computer will not start from it on its own.
My question is what is the open source or terminal language code used to tell my mac to look in the DVD rom drive for startup info? I know that im not the only person in this world who has deleted the "PRIVATE" folder and emptied the trash so it no longer exists on their machine...
That said theres gotta be a common fix for a Power PC G4 that has the OS X dvd in the rom drive but wont look to it to reinstall the vital contents of the PRIVATE folder.
Once again there is not a copy of this file or its contents in the recycle bin...
Also rebooting the machine , pressing and holding the letter C does not prompt the machine to look to the dvd rom drive.
I was reinstalling pro tools and figured I would make some room by cleaning my computers HD...
Lol It was a bad choice to delete this file ...
Thanks guys

Okay sorry it took forever to respond... But for a while there I gave up on this computer!!!!
Money's been tight lately , so taking it in to a professional was not yet an option... though I did consider it eventhough.
Anyway long story short im glad I didnt spend any money because I already had all the tools necessary to fix this issue but was going about it in the wrong way. Okay so here is my scenario and the breakdown... Though this may not fix the issue for everyone :( which *****... But I know we all will have different circumstances.
Anyway here we go...
Okay so first things first.... Years ago I purchased the OS 10.5.1 disk ... So that has always been in my possession!!!!
I realize that some may not have a disk to reflash your OS to your hard drive... but if you do your in luck.
2ndly ... I had an external harddrive with all of my itunes downloaded music so it was more than okay with me to delete my primary HD because all the important stuff could either be copied over or repathed to be located.
-------If you dont want to read through the whole story the fix is summed up in the bottom section-------
Okay so now the SOLUTION!!!!
By trial and error , and pure boredom I opened up my computer to clean the inside...
AND
"Disconnected the primary HD"
and just because ....... REBOOTED my computer. Just to see what it would do.
Upon restart and though it looked like it would repeat its usual cycle...
About 1 minute in to that process my computer froze for about 2 seconds and flashed to the OS installation screen.
Mind you I havent seen this screen yet... Probably hasnt been since I installed the OS years ago.
After a bit of trial and error...
I decided to tell my computer to startup from the OS 10.5 disk located in my dvd rom drive and restarted once again...
this setting is under
Utilities / startup disk
After a little more trial and error ... I realized that I could reconnect the primary HD , restart the machine and return to the OS installation menu.
So upon this discovery
I went to the Disk Utility located under Utilities
Highlighted my primary HD located in the left hand column
Once highlighted ...
In the heading section on the right I selected the option
Erase
in which I erased My current OS on my primary HD ...
I used the first option in the list under security... Because it seemed like the least invasive and would take the least amount of time to see if this process would actually work.
I FORGOT to add something...
Another reason why I deleted my primary HD!!!!!
I forgot to say that it WOULD NOT!!!!! Show up in the STARTUP list as an option...Even After multiple reboots....
But like clockwork... Once I deleted its name IT SHOWED UP as an option!!!!
So back to the next step...
I returned to the STARTUP option under utilities ... And was then able to see MY primary HD now as a startup option...
But ofcourse it had no name because it we previously erased it.
So when Clicking my newly erased HD ... I was almost immediately prompted to REINSTALL the OS ...
Which said it would take about 57 minutes ... But I believe was alot less...
My issue was resolved ... My computer then stated the install was SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!! :))))))))))) lol ;)
It was like I was setting up for the first time ;) asking for my registration info...
The dilemma of deleting the private folder and emptying the trash is finally over resolved. Done ... and no extra money spent!!!!!!!!!
Its really crazy that the information for such a simple thing is not readily available. Especially being such a simple fix.
I know im not the only person who's had this issue , because i've seen numerous posts with similar wording.
I also know I wont be the last person to have this issue... So I hope this synopsis makes sense.
-------One more time the fix------
*Insert your OS dvd into your dvd rom drive.
*Unplug your primary HD or corrupted startup disk
*Reboot your machine...
Upon restart your primary HD will not be recognized...
* you will then be prompted to select your language.
Once selected
*Click Utilities/startup... Highlight the the selection that refers to the OS dvd located in the dvd rom drive.
* Click restart...
!!!!!!!!!!Be sure to reconnect your Primary HD Before your computer restarts and you hear the chime!!!!!!!!
If you do not replug your HD before the chime it will not be recognized.
In that case restart again.
Upon restart once again
*Choose your language...
*Click Utilities / disk utility
In the left column select and
*Highlight your HD ...
Then towards the top portion / center of the page
*Click the heading Erase
Then on the page toward the bottom
*Click security options
This will then provide erase options.
I USED THE FIRST OPTION
"Dont erase data"...
*click OK
* click erase...
Once erased which should take a few seconds
*Cancel the disk utility...
* Click Utilities / startup
And your newly erased HD should now appear in the list.
* Select your drive from the list by highlighting
It should no longer have a name.
*Once selected, you will then be prompted to restart and install the OS to your newly erased HD...
Thats it!!!!
Once everything reinstalls re-add your personal info or registration info and you are up and running.
Goodluck ;)

Installed firefox 4 but will not run on osx10.4.how do i retrieve version 3.6 and all bookmarks etc

i downloaded firefox 4 but did not notice that it required osx10.5 as my computer is running 10.4.11 installed program ok but when trying to open it i get message that it will not run on my system.
how do i get back to 3.6 as firefox 4 appears to have deleted all the old files. can i retrieve my bookmarks etc and where can i download version 3.6

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

After refomatting HDD, reinstalling Vista plus service packs, recovering files from Microsoft backup and installing new copy of Firefox 3.6, Firefox will not run. Have deleted all old M0zilla profile folders and reinstalled Firefox again to no avail.

After computer would not boot and could not be repaired, I reformatted the HDD, reinstalled Vista plus all service packs and updates, recovered files from Microsoft backup and installed new copy of Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not run.
I have deleted all old M0zilla profile folders and reinstalled Firefox again to no avail.
After intallation was completed, the automatic startup just placed a small box on the screen "Import wiz". This just sat there with no activity. After I closed this box, none of the Firefox start buttons would open the program -- just the blue rotating icon for about 2 seconds then nothing.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

My Computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes libary can not be read because it was created by a newer version.

If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...
•Apple - Support - iTunes - install & update:
