Constant freezes, now cannot install 10.4 without problems

Well, my computer recently started having problems. Constant freezes, the grey screen that comes up and tells me to restart. Application crashes. I could not figure out what the problem was, the only think I have done to the machine recently is add the superdrive from another G4 and put it in mine, that would not cause a problem, would it? Luckly I have a backup drive, so I have not lost everything.
So I thought I would reinstall 10.4, which seemed ok, what the system was install, I tried to do all the updates, but the system update failed, and it could not install the OS X updates. So, I restarted and got a kernal error, and could no longer boot into my new fresh system, strange. So, I tried again, did a complete reinstall, and tried to do a manual upgrade of OS X. I got the dmg file from apple's site, and tried again, at the end of the install, it told me to try again, that there was an error. Restart again, no kernal error, but all I got was the grey apple screen, with the spinning indicator, and it never booted. So I am stumped. What could be causing this on a new install? I am thinking maybe it could be the hard drive. My backup drive that I boot off of is working fine, so I don't think it is any other hardware. Any ideas why a fresh install would start off this way, and continue to cause problems?

Yes, bad RAM can cause all sorts of issues. Replace it and see how it goes. Most good suppliers have lifetime warranties these days. If you can't get it replaced, try a Mac friendly brand such as Crucial. I have had trouble free operation with mine.

Itunes constant freezing and cannot restart

Hey, I've been having a lot of issues with my itunes for the past week or so. Every few hours or so (sometimes within like 1) my itunes will freeze completely. Once it freezes I'll close it or end the process in Task Manager and it generally shuts down. Now if the constant freezing wasn't enough of an annoyance, the itunes process also hangs in Task Manager after I've shut the program down. I have tried to end the process with taskkill, but it never works. While the process hangs it continues to consume computer memory and I cannot use itunes anymore. It just won't open anymore. The only way around this is to restart the entire computer. (Which is a huge pain!) I'd rather not have to restart my computer every time I want to listen to some music.
Some things I've tried -
Uninstalling itunes and other apple services completely; normally and by using revo uninstaller on other occassions. Then doing a fresh install.
Installing older version of itunes.
Using CCleaner to search for errors.
Checking to see if there are any firewall conflicts.
Doing a complete virus scan with Malwarebytes and Avast.
Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening, and/or know any fixes? If so, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Here's my computer specs -
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601)
System Manufacturer: Acer
System Model: Predator G5900
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20 GHz (4 CPUs), ~ 3.2 GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Page File: 2366MB used, 5677MB available
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Itunes 10.7.0.21
Quicktime 7.73.80.64

Figured it out (I think). Seems to be an iTunes problem. I found some articles on this site about bugs in Version 7 so I deleted iTunes from my PC, reinstalled Version 6, drained down my iPod, hooked it back up, restored the OS from Version 6 and now, 3 days later, all seems to be working.
If you have a look over some of the discussions on this site you'll see that this is somewhat of a common occurrence, but Apple don't seem to be admitting it.

Previously blocked client computers - now cannot install SCCM 2012 R2 client

Hello,
I have a Primary Site on SCCM 2012 R2. New installation of 2012 R2, not upgrade from SCCM 2007. My environment is pretty small for now, having added just few dept computers in the company.
We are using SCCM for Endpoint Security antivirus deployment. Some time ago I had not configured the Discovery methods correctly and the scep client started to install on few machines on which it was not supposed to be installed. I removed the clients then
(both remote and local uninstallation) but since the sccm client was getinng installed again - I had to Block these few machines. Now the problem is that I cannot install the scep client on these computers that have previously been blocked. I am sure the previous
block is the reason because these are about 6-7 machines and only they do not install. All others do install scep client. The installation process goes smooth on these problematic machines, ccmsetup folder gets created in C:\Windows, I follow the ccmsetup.log
and it says " <![LOG[CcmSetup is exiting with return code 0]LOG]!><time="12:33:56.415-180" date="10-08-2014" component="ccmsetup" context="" type="1" thread="3992"
file="ccmsetup.cpp:10875"> " at the end of the log which is what it is supposed to show when installation goes ok, then Ccmexec.exe process continues running but folder Microsoft Security Client in C:\Program Files never gets
created and no scep client gets installed.
I tried deleting the computers from the sccm console and discovering them anew - did not help. Tried even renaming the comp locally, after having it deleted from sccm console, then adding it anew hoping sccm will regard it as a new resource-again no good.
All these computers have the Approve, Block and Unblock buttons greyed out/inactive in console.
Has anyone had this same problem? Any ideas what can be done. Thank you.
Regards,
Hristo

Hi,
were you ever able to fix this?
I'm running in a similar issue here.
One single client was blocked, then deleted, lateron recreated (imported manually name and MAC address).
Now the client is unable to register itself in SCCM 2012 R2 (no CU yet).
Tried the usual stuff: uninstalled SCCM client, remove the entries of CCMsetup and SMS from registry, deleted the SMS certs from the computer personal
store and deleted the smscfg.ini from C:\Windows. Then re-installed the SCCM client
Client logs look fine, except ClientIDManagerStartup.log:
<![LOG[[RegTask] - Client is not registered. Sending registration request for GUID:F295F120-9C99-4D10-82B7-027FDD86B5F6 ...]LOG]!><time="14:46:11.555-60" date="01-12-2015" component="ClientIDManagerStartup" context=""

Cannot install Flash Player without a password and I don't have one.

I cannot seem to install Flash Player without a password and I do not have one. What to do?

The password that's being requested (required) is your user account password ON YOUR SYSTEM (not for Adobe). You CANNOT install without an administrator account, and you CANNOT set up an administrator account without a password.

Used Migration Assistant, couldn't open CC programs, uninstalled, now cannot install because CC won't let me login.

It doesn't seem to be an issue with the account I'm using, no special characters in his profile. The account I'm logged into does not have any special characters either.
Now I have a Mac that I cannot install any Adobe CC program on. The CC window is blank, I've uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times. I've seen other mentions of this with no answer. Everyone says delete files and check profile for special characters. Please help.

Mac migration and time machine do not work with Adobe programs due to hidden registration information

Updated N95 software now cannot install Java apps

Hi
I recently (like yesterday) upgraded my N95 8GB to software version V20.0.016. Restored my content. My Gmail and Opera applications were no longer installed so I downloaded them but cannot install. Every time I try and install software either via my PC or directly I get the extremely informative message 'Unable to install'
Any assistance gratefully received.

Marylanda....perhaps you need to reread the original problem. The problem has nothing to do with rearranging apps within a collection. The problem is that when plugged into iTunes (to sync) and trying to remove apps under that format, the "remove" button is no longer available to click. It's "grayed" out. You still have the ability to Install apps that way but not "remove" them.
I had a friend suggest that I turn off Restrictions on my phone, thinking that might be causing the problem. However, even after doing that, I still cannot "remove" apps while plugged in to iTunes.
Someone really needs to help with this situation, since it appears to be happening to more and more people.

I did the upgrade to my iTunes yesterday and it did not install correctly. Kept getting same message. Now cannot download any iTunes without getting windows error 126. Please help.

Upgraded my itunes yesterday and it failed. Tried reinstalling and failed again. Now tried to install several earlier versions and coming up with windows error 126. Do you have any ideas on how I can fix this? Please help.

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.

W520 randomly freezes, now cannot be started and even reinstalled

I badly need your help!
I purchased my W520 (500 HDD, 8G, i7-2720) on 2011, and it has been working greatly. Since few month back, my W520 start to have a problem: it randomly freeze for no reason. The freezing can happen any time and even without use. The pointer/mouse, touchpad, keyboard and Ctrl+Alt+Del return no response at all. So everytime I have to use a hard restart. At beginning, I thought it is due to some viruses. However this still happens after I reinstall the system using recovery function. I did installed all updates after the installation. It is also unlikely related to overheating as it happens under no use and temps around 60 degrees.
Very recently the problem went worse and it was freezing very frequently. So yesterday I tried to reinstall the system again. However this time it freezes during the reinstallation process (twice). I have to use the hard restart again! After that I found the computer is totally dead. I can not start my computer or start the reinstallation process at all. It looks like the recovery disk has been damaged.
Now I have two primary questions:
1) What is the reason for the freezing? Could anybody give me your thoughts? is it likely a hardware problem or software problem?
2) Now I have to make the computer work first. Should I get a clean Win-7 or Win-8 system installed? or I should purchase a OEM CD for installation?
Thank you in advance for a feedback!

Sorry, but it could be hardware or software, but I am guessing hardware. The most likely cause is heat, but you seemed to have ruled that out. I would run a memory test first. I often use memtest86+. Then a disk test. I would look in the event log for any serious messages related to a device failure. Several months ago, I had a similar problem that turned out to be the CPU. (the only failed CPU I ever had to deal with) After trying a motherboard swap, the last remaining part was the CPU, which turned out to be the problem. I don't remember if it was a W510 or a W520. I remember it was a quad core CPU and I didn't have the right CPU in stock so I tried it with a dual-core i7. When the problem went away, I got the correct replacement, and after installing, there were no more issues.

Exported Excel spreadsheet from Constant Contact, now cannot find it. Thanks!

I exported an Excel spreadsheet file from Constant Contact and now I cannot find it anywhere. Constant Contact verified it was sent.

Best things to have in this situation is a receipt of the shipment of the returned device.
Do you have it? If so go to a Fedex office and file an insurance claim.
If you don't have this..
IF your device tracks anywhere at all on USPS or FedEx's website call customer service and have them submit an ITTS ticket for a lost shipment. If your rep does not do this get another rep on the line. If they have already submitted a CLNR NON RETURN form then you either need the receipt of the shipment or need it to track on the carriers website.

Firefox quit on my MAC, I uninstalled and now cannot install, keep getting error that it is open or file is missing. PLEASE HELP, have to use Firefox for work.

I have an iMAC w/OS 10.7.5. I was working in Firefox today and as I was entering letters it changed to unrecognizable characters so I had to exit the application. Firefox froze up and after trying to re-open it many times, I finally tried uninstalling and then re-installing. When trying to open a new download, I am given an error message saying that firefox is already open or that files are missing. I spent approx 2 hrs on the phone with Apple support and they were unable to locate problem and I am now turning to you for help. I need this fixed desperately and ASAP as the program that I use for work will only run on Firefox.

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Uninstalled Firefox 6 because it was crashing every few minutes, now cannot install because no administrator privileges. never had this problem before, how am going to install anything?

lasst couple of days Firefox would crash for unknown reasons. this problem did not occur until I instatlled firefox 6. Last night it crashed several times over a 15 minute time span. I uninstalled firefox and then tried to reinstall. pop up window required I have administration privileges in order to install. Never required this before. I have windows 7 and have no desire to have to completely reinstall software becasue firefox 6 was so unstable.

I read a way on another forum to fix this problem. Right click on the setup.exe and select "Run as administrator" this should solve your problem.

After nearly completing my imovie, i now cannot work on it without it quitting unexpectedly

So, do I repeate my problem? Why does my imovie project keep quiting?

What you can re-download will depend upon what country that you are in (music, films, tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all countries, and audiobooks and ringtones can't currently be re-downloaded anywhere), and whether they remain in the store (content providers occasionally remove their items). You should keep and maintain your own backup copies of all of your downloads, just in case they are removed from the store (and for apps only the current version of each app is available in the store, so there may come a time when the version in the store requires a higher version of iOS than you have on your iPad).
