Confused and flustered....
Hello All-
I've got two G5 machines. One is a 1.7 Dual and the other is a 2.0 Dual.
Here's the weirdness I'm getting.
I installed Adobe CS3 Master Collection on the weaker machine along with Motion 2.0 (the 1.7GHz) and have had ZERO problems. I tried installing the same software/disks on the 2.0 GHz machine but I can't get 90% of the software to load or even open. I keep getting a "Support for CPU extension SSE2" error.
I know they are both PPC processors, so hence why I am confused.
It's really a pain in the you-know-what since I spent so much on the machines and software only to find out it will Install on only one because of this issue. Also noticed some other programs (i.e. Handbrake, etc.) won't load because my 'Archtecture isn't supported'. (If it is not supported, why can I get it on one, and not the other...?)
Frustrated, not livid, just curious why this may be an issue.
Reset permissions, PRAM, applied the Combo fix for 10.5.8 twice. No Avail...
I'm clueless, the only other thing I can think of would be a fresh install of Leopard after I backup all my Illustrator, PS and InDesign Files.
Just hoping there is an easier thing to do than spend an hour installing Leopard + updates, then three more hours installing Motion, LightRoom 3, CS3 Master Collection, LibreOffice, Trapcode filters and move all those darn files back, then more updates... Granted, I'm going to upgrade the main OS disk to a 2TB drive and just use the Disk Utility to mirror it over.
Help!, Help Needed!
System 1 has 2.25 GB RAM (Working fine, just slower than all can Imagine) and the other (the one having the strange issue) has 16GB RAM
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

Hi Ramon-
Trying to save the reformatting for a last option. I set the system up before with Tiger but that was before I got the software and foolishly upgraded to Leopard rather than doing a clean install.
I checked the setup, Apple Partition Map, HFS+ extended.
Mr. Williams,
I checked all the RAM, all seems to be good. ran the Diag test. I made sure to put them in that order. I ran into that problem with my server.
BDAqua,
It's strange since it works on an earlier version of the G5 series. Same disks and all. Perplexing.
I downloaded the PPC version and saved it to the main drive and I keep getting that error.
X.X
So strange, very very strange. I think Ramon may be on to something. Perhaps it is a faulty install of Leopard and then put CS3 on the other internal drive. It may be the MBR scheme that is causing those apps to confuse the system, but that won't explain why HandBrake et all different apps from loading.
I fear a reload straight from the Leopard disk is in store. (sad face)

The design of this website is confusing and hard to use.
Adobe are regarded as the industry standard of design software, so it seems ironic (or embarrassing) that this website is so poorly designed. I came here simply wanting to post a question about Flash Player but found it the whole experience to be confusing, bewildering and frustrating.
I will list my ten major criticisms below:
1. ILLEGIBLE FONTS
Many of the site's styles (eg discussion titles) use horribly small fonts, to the point of being illegible and nauseating at normal viewing distance. I have to lean forwards towards the screen to read it. I have never had this issue with any other site I visit. The font used is not a screen font and is simply not suitable for being displayed at that size and looks quite ugly (eg lower case 'e' has no hole). In addition, some of the styles use almost illegible colors (eg gray on lighter gray). This kind of "minuscule" typography might be perfect for a small space (eg application control panels), but for a website displayed on a modern computer monitor (at least 1920 pixels wide) it is totally inappropriate. And my monitor is large, I dread to think how small the text would look on a small screen.
2. UNCOMFORTABLE LAYOUT
The layout spans the whole width of the screen, making it very uncomfortable to use the site. All the important elements are aligned either to the left or the right of the screen, with a vast gap in the middle, meaning that one has to constantly dart one's eyes (or neck) back and forth, which is made even worse by the small font size which requires a person to "move in" towards the screen.
3. LACK OF PAGE TITLES
To add to the sense of disorientation, many of the key pages don't have a title, so you simply do not know where you are or what you are looking at. For example if you go to the main list of all the communities (forums.adobe.com/places), there is no title; nothing to tell you what you are looking at. Likewise, if you do a search, there is no title (eg "Search results"). Having titles at the top of pages is fundamental to web design so people don't get confused about where they are.
4. THE "FORUMS" DON'T LOOK LIKE FORUMS
I was brought to the "Using Flash Player" page by an external link, and when I arrived I was just totally confused about where I was and what I was looking at. The page title "Using Flash Player" didn't tell me I was in a discussion community. The page is littered with so many different links and features it is hard to know where to look and what the purpose of the page is. The page does not have a sense of being a discussion forum. I expect a discussion forum to have the word "discussion" somewhere at the top, with a list of threads and information such as last post, replies, views, as well as a way to see how many threads there are in that forum and a way to navigate between pages and see older threads. Not to mention all the strange buttons which I will mention in my next point…
5. MYSTERIOUS BUTTONS
A good website uses terminology and controls that people recognize and understand. But all the buttons on this site are strange. At the top of each discussion forum we have "Overview", "Content", "People", "Sub-communities" and "Follow". I can honestly say I have no idea what any of those mean or do (with the exception of "Sub-communities"). Websites should use clear, unambiguous language so that people know what the controls do and are not clicking on the "unknown". If your site does have unconventional controls that people are not going to be familiar with, you should have tooltip popups which explain, to make it easy for newcomers. I have clicked on those strange buttons but on the whole I have not been able to work out what they do. The "People" button would seem to be a way of finding users/members but surely that is a rare function and it should be at the foot of the page not in a prominent location? Likewise when you do a search, you must choose whether to search for "Content", "People" or "Communities". Most people will have no idea what the first two of these options mean, I certainly don't. It's just a very weird site.
6. INCONSISTENT LAYOUT
Another confusing thing is that there seem to be as many page layouts as there are pages! Every different page I have been to has no common elements or common menus, everything changes. Even different community pages have different features and different layouts. This leaves you feeling totally disoriented. A website's basic controls and menus should not keep shifting around, it leaves the user with no sense of continuity; it cripples their understanding of how the site functions; and it prohibits them from distinguishing between a page's controls and its content, since both keep changing around.
7. BUGGY
I am less critical of bugs because I know that inevitably they happen, and likewise will inevitably be resolved. But in my brief time using the forums I came across plenty of bugs, two are on the main welcome page:
A) First of all, a pop-up box appears which says "Say Something" inviting me to click on the pencil icon. I then click on the pencil icon and another box appears with options. However, the "Say Something" box is still there and it obscures the box below it. You can't click on it, so you have to click off both boxes, then the "Say Something" box is active again, then you can click on the small "skip" button, and then finally you can click on the pencil icon again and see what was there all along. Not a serious bug, but clumsy.
B) Also on the welcome screen there is a link at the top which says "New to the community? Check out our guidelines". I didn't hesitate to click on this because by this point I felt totally lost and confused and wanted all the help I could get. I clicked on that button and it took me to a page called Community Guidelines. I clicked on the first link ("Find answers to questions") which took me to an error page ("Unauthorized. Access to this community or content is restricted. If you think this is a mistake, please contact your administrator or the person who directed you here.
8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Finally, the terms and conditions upon signing up are unreasonably long, to the point of being prohibitive. If someone is having a problem with their software, they don't want to have to spend hours reading through terms and conditions before they can even get to ask a question. It is completely out of order to force people to read all those terms and conditions, and especially forcing people to re-read the whole thing any time there is an update. It is simply laziness on the part of the admin. They could carefully go through the terms and conditions and identify the key elements which have been changed and provide the user with a neat summary, thus saving thousands of people many hours of reading. When I take out a mortgage on a house, I have terms and conditions to read, and I expect there to be a lot. But when I simply want to sign up to a discussion forum, I do not expect a similar level of terms and conditions. People can go to, say, Yahoo or Google or YouTube and discuss these issues freely without having to read any terms and conditions at all. By putting up all these barriers you are just turning people away.
9. IDENTITY CRISIS
Finally (and in conclusion) I would say that the site doesn't seem to know why it exists: whether it is aimed at helping the general public or amusing technology lovers?
I would have expected a site like this to be aimed at the general public, since it is promoted as a help resource by Adobe, and covers a very wide range of products, meaning that a very large and wide range of people should be expected to visit it.
However, the site gives the opposite impression. It has what I would call a steep "learning curve", with complex page layouts, full of unconventional controls and features, as well as the emphasis on community. This would all seem to suggest it is more of an exclusive site aimed more at techy people who want to "hang out" here and become regular users. I feel it is excluding laypeople and casual visitors who are simply seeking quick help.
To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help".
If you want a good example of a good, clean, elegant design that is easy to use, go to www.google.com you will notice that the controls are simple and easy: the eye is immediately drawn to the central part of the screen where the main controls are and there are only two buttons. Then if you want to see more advanced features you can go to the smaller controls which are tucked away in the top right corner and do not distract anyone.Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down. -
Hi, I upgraded my Iphone 3gs from version 4.1 to 6.0.1 but upon restarting, the sim card is no longer recognized, i cant restore with itune nothing at all!! i'm so confused and ****** off... please provide any help
Is the SIM from the carrier the device is locked to?

why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice
This is cause by the way the App Store checks to see if an application is installed on your system.
Basically when an app is installed it is in the Applications folder and this is where the MAS looks for them. So it looks at your purchase history for the apps you bought and looks in the Applications folder to see if they are installed. If an app is in your purchase history but not in the Applications folder the MAS says you need to install it.
For normal apps this works fine but the OS doesn;t install into the Applications folder. So the MAS sees you have Mountain Lion in your purchase history but it's not in the Applications folder and so it says you need to download it.
Hopefully one of these days Apple wil fix this.

The problem started after last update. I tried following the directions in firefox Help without success. They were confusing and the instructions did not match what I was seeing on my screen. I need a simple quick fix thank you.
There could be more than one reason for such messages.
There is a problem sometimes with the database file used for history and bookmarks see
* http://blog.bonardo.net/2011/09/30/is-your-firefor-freezing-at-regular-intervals
There was a change made which seems to affect some Windows users, and has a workaround, but tends to result in images etc not loading rather than a not responding message see
* [[firefox never finishes loading certain websites#w_lower-the-max-number-of-http-connections]]_lower-the-max-number-of-http-connections
Are you getting any other error messages, or indications of problems ?
* not directly related to an update but also see [[firefox hangs]]
* and [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
P.S. <br/> I note you have BrowserPlus, that has sometimes, recently, been associated with firefox problems, it would certainly be worth trying temporarily disabling that. -
I found the operating system very confusing and hard to use. No tutorial. Manual and online help were outdated. Tool bars, programs and documents randomly appeared and disappeared. Programs I installed completely disappeared. Anyone else experience this?
No need to apologize, Jim. I think your rant was justified. For years people have been telling me how easy the Mac was to use. Imagine my frustration when I finally learned from friends and users that it takes weeks or months to make the transition from Windows to Mac.
Still, I agree that I acted to too hastily when I returned my mini-mac to the store only three days after I bought it.
I'm going to try again, this time with an iMac. This time I'll keep it. Since this thread is for the mini-Mac only, I'll probably be starting a new one for the iMac.
Why did I decide to try again? Well, I do like the faster speed and compact hardware of the Macs. I also like the fact that I can install Windows and use that for my programs until I transition completely to Mac, IF I make the complete transition.
Thank you all for your suggestions and advice. I have paid attention to what you said.

I'm so confused and need a miracle right now.
Hi,
I'm not sure where to begin but I'm really frustrated and ready to scream about now. I can't for the life of me figure out how to upload my site using Cyberduck onto my server.
Today I was on live chat with my service provider and I've talked to him many times and there is something missing that I'm not getting. I know deep down it is really simple but it isn't coming together.
Hope this makes sense.
Okay I have a domain name www.splurgesisters.com and I was told by my provider that everything for the site should go in the /www folder. So on Saturday I pulished my site (it is just a couple of test pages to see if I can figure this out) using the publish to folder option and I named my folder Splurge Sisters 2. So I find out that because this folder Splurge Sisters 2 was in the folder /www it wouldn't work. So my provider tells me to name the folder /www/SplurgeSisters2 and upload it.
I'm using Cyberduck and I have a /www thing that I dump stuff into on Cyberduck, so I try to name the folder /www/splurgesisters (I've since renamed it) and it says no such directory exists. When I look inside this folder of SlurgeSisters I see an idex.html and another folder called splurgesisters.
So what in the world do I want to name my folder to put into the /www file in the Cyberduck FTP? so that /www on my service provider will read it. Is it possible to drag all these files outside the published folder individually and upload them. This folder thing really has me confused.
I'm confused and trying to figure this out but just don't get it. Is Cyberduck a bad FTP server?
Thanks,
S.Tom,
Thanks for your advice. Here is what I did and honestly I'm still confused as I'm learning all this. I went and used Captian FTP and uploaded two folder to my site, one called SplurgeSisters and the other called /www/splurgesisters today when I tried my site nothing came up. So after contacting my service provider he said he would redirect the SplurgeSisters one and that everything from now on would go in that folder. So the next folder I upload should be called /www/SplurgeSisters according to him. I'll have to try it soon and see if that works.
Do you know why when I uploaded SplurgeSisters onto my site it showed up as SplurgeSisters_ and I didn't add that _ in there. I'm guessing it's because all the names inside of the pages had About_Us etc.

hi.
i purchased an 80g ipod last week so i could put my massive selection of cds on to it.
this is where the confusion starts.
my laptop doesnt have the massive memory of the ipod.
it got to a set amount of transfering, then it said it couldnt transfer anymore due to my laptop memory and disc space was full.
ive done all i can to free up space , but its never enough.
does that mean i cant transfer ALL my cds because my laptop isnt big enough??
do i need to buy a new laptop with a bigger memory and disc space so i can transfer my cds?? which i cant afford to do.
have got my settings wrong ??

p.s. im know nothing at all about computers, so please use little words to explain . thanks allYou can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, storing music on your iPod and nowhere else is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this about backing up media.
How to back up your media in iTunes.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
The iPod is not reliable enough to use it as a long term storage device, and these forums are littered with posts from people who decided to use it as such and ended up losing all their music. -

Table numbering confusion and how to link to tables in a book/document?
More questions :-(
Table numbering confusion...
I'm porting over (from MS Word) a document that has a bunch of tables in it.
The document currently looks something like this:
1 Major heading
1.1 Sub heading
text for that sub heading that refers to a table that follows (or may preceed) such as see Table 1-1 that follows
Table 1-1
Row 1/Column 1 content Column 2 content Column 3 content
Row 2/Column 1 content etc.... etc.
Row 3 etc. etc.
1.2 Next sub heading
Text to follow that sub head that references Table 1-2 below...
Table 1-2
Row 1/Column 1 content Column 2 content Column 3 content
Row 2/Column 1 content etc.... etc.
Row 3 etc. etc.
2 Major heading
2.1 Next sub heading
Text to follow that sub head that references Table 2-1 below...
Table 2-1
Row 1/Column 1 content Column 2 content Column 3 content
Row 2/Column 1 content etc.... etc.
Row 3 etc. etc.
3 Major heading
3.1 Next sub heading
etc.
Hopefully that makes sense.
Currently it seems that the tables are numbered based on the chapter number with the chapter apparently being set at 2.
I need the tables to instead use numbering based on the heading (Titles) numbers, but can't seem to figure out how to get the numbers set for the tables as I would want them to be.
What do I need to do to make the table numbers reset based on the paragraph numbers (subchapters if you would refer to them that way...)
Thanks again!What is the paragraph format of "Table 2-1" lines?
Table numbering is commonly controlled by two things:
1. Format > Paragraph > Paragraph Designer
[table title para name]
[ Numbering]
and
2. Format > Document > Numbering
The default in Frame is that tables have titles of para fmt "TableTitle", but tables can switch that off, and also be anchored to paragraphs (often Headings) of any arbitrary format name and numbering scheme.
