CS3 Re-Install: CD drive not seeing CD. Help!

I am having problems with palettes disappearing and going blank and image windows going completely white. So, I have decided to do a fresh installation of CS3.
I have uninstalled both CS2 and CS3 and I want to re-install just CS3.
However, when I insert the CD in the drive nothing happens on the screen. If I browse to the drive, it asks me to insert a CD! ;-(
The drive detects the CS2 no problem as well as any other CD I insert, but not the CS3 CD.
What can I do?
Many thanks.
D.

Sorted!
For the record.......
My laptop had no problem reading the CD, only the desktop.
Then I tried the DVD drive. Bingo! I was able to re-install CS3.

My iPad 1 is not responding. I restored to factory settings and when it says to hook up to I tunes it still won't work. I have restarted I tunes and uninstalled and installed and still not working. Help!!!!

I restored to factory settings and when it says to hook up to I tunes it still won't work. I have restarted I tunes and uninstalled and installed and still not working. Help!!!! Before I reset it it would say not charging but it was still charging. This could be a hardware problem with the I pad.

Explain exactly what "it won't work" means. The iPad does not respond at all? Does it turnn on? It is not recognized in iTunes when you connect it to your computer?

I downloaded a toolbar expecting certain help, not seeing the help I wanted I uninstalled the prouduct, why would I still have the toolbar ready and waiting for me to use after i have uninstalled it

Dear Firefox
I have just sent mail to a friend and found that the HTML backgrooung file is inactive amongst mant others, am sure I used it just yesterday.
I tried to regain this file and I was directed to download the toolbar from BrotherSoft Extreme Community and did not see any direction to what I was loking for other than it piling my already weak XP PC with more toolbars, so I immeadiatly uninstalled it.
It's still here, so does this mean it has other guises for me to find.
Please help me with this.
Thank You

Here, let me explain the way you use the word "crap" in a sentence like this, especially when I'm asking for help from a total stranger such as yourself. It's rude, obviously I know now not to do something like download something like that to my computer. It's not the difficult to figure out, and obviously I'm suffering the consequences for it now. So are you planning on helping me? Or should I not reply to your next reply if it has the word "crap" in it? I'm sure this whole discussion board was created to be used in a professional way, which is how I would like to keep my responses.

Driver not found - JDBC - HELP PLZ!

Hello everyone.
i am trying to access my database and this is the code i made:
public static void connectToDataBase()
Connection connect = null;
try{
String driverName = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
String serverName = "192.168.5.6";
String portNumber = "1521";
String sid = "deve";
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + serverName + ":" + portNumber +
":" + sid;
String usr = "emma";
String pwd = "emma";
//Load the JDBC driver
Class.forName(driverName);
//Connect to the base
connect = DriverManager.getConnection(url,usr,pwd);
catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Error---No database driver");
catch(SQLException s){
System.out.println("Error---No connection to the database");
However, when i execute this program, a ClassNotFoundException is launched because i get the message "Error---No database driver".
Can anyone help me please??
thank you

However, when i execute this program, a
ClassNotFoundException is launched because i get the
message "Error---No database driver".As mentioned already, you need to add the driver jar in the classpath. Depending on the type of application you are creating, the method for doing that would vary.
For a simple standalone application, it can be achieved by simply including the JAR name (with path) in the classpath. This can be done by editing the CLASSPATH variable, which I mostly do not prefer, or using the command line switch -cp to set the classpath for the specific command.
If you are dealing with web applications, you need not play around with the environment variables simply because it would not have any effect. Almost all application servers AFAIK ignore the environment settings. The best way of doing it is copying the driver jar to the WEB-INF/lib sub-directory under your webapp directory. (You could ignore this advice ATM if you haven't started with web applications yet). However, the preferred method of connection in case of webapps (or J2EE applications I might generalize) is using a datasource.
Finally, a word of advice which I am often tempted to mention early on. Ensure that you are closing all the connections, statements and resultsets in your application once their job is done. Not doing so may lead to further complications in the future, depending on the driver implementations. The safest way is to call the close methods on all the JDBC resources in the finally block of your code to ensure that you always close the resources.
Gluck!

Read this for CD/DVD Drive with burning, missing drives, not seeing discs

Seeing lots of the same posts with the same solutions being applied (mostly upper/lower control filters/MS Fixit)... so I thought I'd put this up for everyone.
*Update* If this helps, please click the kudos to the right as I'm trying to gauge how effective this is. If you have the time to help the community, please reply stating what did or did not work.
There are some helpful HP support articles that you may want to try before posting:
If your drive cannot burn discs... or you can burn CDs but not DVDs (or vise/versa)... read this...
Drive Cannot Write to Writable Discs (Windows 7)
Drive Cannot Write to Writable Discs (Windows Vista)
Drive Cannot Write to Writable Discs (Windows 98, ME, XP)
Summary:
1) Try different discs! Cheap discs can be hit or miss. Find a disc brand and type that works best.
2) Try burning at a slower speed (not the best option, but can often get the job done if the laser is fading).
3) Remove drive from Device Manager and remove upper/lower filters (see below).
4) Use MS System Restore to go back to a time when it was working.
5) Use PC-Doctor/HP Hardware Diagnostic software to check for a bad drive.
6) If the drive is not bad - save your files and use HP Recovery to put the system back to the beginning.
If your drive cannot read discs; CDs or DVDs or both...
Drive Cannot Read Discs in Windows 7
Drive Cannot Read Discs in Windows Vista
Drive Cannot Read Discs in Windows 98, ME, and XP
Summary:
{restart the PC at least once to see if the drive shows up on boot}
1) See if the drive is listed in Device Manager (look for problems if it is).
2) Check autoplay (skip if you don't use).
3) Make sure a bad disc isn't knocking out the drive (an operating system mounts discs as drives and things can get screwed up).
4) Try reading the disc from a command prompt environment (outside of Windows).
5) Reinstall drive from Device Manager (if drive is listed). {I'd replace this with bigger process of remove upper/lower filters (see below)}.
6) Use MS System Restore to go back to a time when it was working.
7) Use PC-Doctor/HP Hardware Diagnostic software to check for a bad drive.
CD/DVD drive is missing (not in Windows Explorer or My Computer or in burning software)...
CD/DVD Drive is not Detected (Windows 7)
CD/DVD Drive is not Detected (Windows Vista)
CD or DVD Drive is not Detected (Windows 98, ME, or XP)
Summary:
1) See if the drive is listed in Device Manager (troubleshoot based on what you see).
2) Reset Power: Unplug power cord, press Power button for 10 seconds.
3) Check power and data cables attached to the drive and look in the BIOS for the drive name.
4) Remove upper/lower filters (see below).
5) Reinstall burning software
6) Get and CD/DVD drive firmware updates if available (to prevent missing drives in the future (I assume)).
7) Use MS System Restore to go back to a time when it was working.
Stuck Drawer...
Opening a Stuck CD or DVD Drive Tray
Summary:
1) Press eject button on case, on drive, button on keyboard (if exists).
2) Right-click drive icon in Windows and select Eject.
3) Turn off PC and inert a straightened paper clip into the manual release hole on the drive.
4) Check the power cord on the back of the drive.
MS FIXit, Resetting Upper and lower Filters (XP, Vista and 7)
First... try to use the MS Fixit (for Vista) if you are on the computer having the problem)...
Microsoft Fix it Solution
Otherwise, here are the manual steps (overview):
1) Uninstall the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager and DO NOT RESTART the computer.
2) Uninstall your CD burning software (make sure you have the installation disc or you can resinstall from Start, Programs, PC Help and Tools, Recovery Manager (or Driver/Application Recovery). If you don't have the installation discs, skip this step - it might still work).
3) Open the registry editor (Start -> Run -> enter Regedit) ... might want to make a backup of the registry at this point.
4) Open the following keys:
+ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
+ SYSTEM
+ CurrentControlSet (or the current control set with lowest number if that is all that is listed)
+ Control
+ Class
5) Select 4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318. It has to be this exact key - make sure you can see the last numbers!!!
6) Delete the UpperFilter and or the LowerFilters value in the right window if either exists.
7) RESTART the computer - this step is important. Wait for Windows to find and install the CD/DVD drive you removed earlier.
8) Reinstall your burning software and restart the computer again.

Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

That's why you want to make a backup of the registry. If you didn't make a backup, use MS system restore to go back. The only values you should remove are UpperFilter or LowerFilter - one or both may be in there and can be removed. If neither value exists, then that is probably why you can't burn and Windows is not recognizing your drive as a writable drive.

Satellite C660 - Re-installed WLAN driver not working

Hi
I cleared a lot of unused programs from a Toshiba Satellite C660-1JH, and accidently removed the Realtek WLAN Driver.
The laptop obviously now has no internal wireless connection. When I realised I managed to find the driver online, successfully downloaded and installed it. I restarted the computer in order for the changes to take affect but nothing happened.
I removed the driver and all associated files and then took it from another site to check that there wasn't anything wrong with the contents of the file. I got exactly the same result twice more. I've been checking the uninstall program list each time to make sure the driver does exist.
My question is does anyone know if there's something else I need to do after installing the WLAN driver to enable it to operate, or if there's another decent internal wireless adaptor I can download from the web that works with this model.
Apologies for my vague I.T knowledge, hope somebody can help!
Thanks

On this virtual way it is not easy to say what is wrong there.
Fact is that your notebook has Realtek RTL8188CE WLAN card inside.
Dont search the driver Googling around. Right driver you can download from Toshiba WLAN portal http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
Install it, check status in device manager, try to enable WLAN card using FN key combination and send some feedback.
Driver offered on WLAN portal is the same that you got with original preinstalled recovery image (WIN7 64BIT HOME PREMIUM).

Help! OS X Install disc does not see my HD.

After receiving the error discussed here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2229361#2229361
I attempted to boot from my 10.4 install disc and re-install OS X. I was going to do an erase and install as my important files are already backed up. However, when I got to the Select a Destination stage of the install process, my HD is not displayed at all. I had JUST backed up the last files I thought I'd want and restarted to this problem. Now, unless I boot with the install disc, nothing happens. I just get gray screen. Has anyone ever heard of this? Thank you!

Tim,
Did you try to "Repair Disk"??? If not, try to repair it. I could not repair my HD with DU, which is why I chose to use DiskWarrior.
Looks like you're getting the same result I was but without the error code (9972). There may be a difference in seriousness in getting the numeric code and not. I do not know that to be true or not.
From my experience of the last few days, I would try this only because it DID WORK for me.
I don't know what version of DiskWarrior you have access to, but if is version 3, then you can download the update and they include a wizard to make a fresh bootable CD which includes all of the updated code. And this new code is what will make your repair happen. So, check out the version of the DW disk you have, then go to the Alsoft website and download the update which is free. Free may depend on what version you have.
Having done that, then you can boot from your new DW CD and repair your Directory which is what I did this afternoon. When done, run Disk Utility from your OS X DVD, and check your Permissions and Verify Disk. When I did this, all of my problems had been repaired, so I would expect you will have the same success as I did.
Now, if all of the above went well, you can then select to Install from your OS DVD and you should see your HD icon.
One step at a time. Good luck. Keep me posted.

Newly installed Hard Drives not recognized on Destop Power Mac G5

I am trying to replace the old internal Hard drive (160GB) on my desktop Power Mac G5 with a 320 GB and an additional 500 GB internal Hard drives. I installed them both with no problems, but when I got to install the OS (10.4.6) the new hard drives do not show as options for install. I looked in Disk Utility as well but just shows the CD/DVD drive with the OS disk.
advice?

I believe so, The drives are:
- Western Digital Caviar 500GB Serial ATA 7200/32MB/SATA-6G
and
- Western Digital Caviar 320GB SATA-3G 7200/16MB/SATA-6G
How do I know if they "need a jumper on pins 5&6 to slow them to SATA 1 speeds."
Thanks

Install Software Does Not See the Router

Trying to install a WRT54GX4 using a DSL modem with Windows XP.
Every time that I get to the point (both the CD and the "Easy Install download) where the software is supposed to find the router I get a message that says that the wireless broadband router is not in the network. The power on, Internet, WLAN, and Ethernet lights are all on on the router.
I am an experienced computer user and have used Linksys wireless products before and have done everything that I know how to do other than manually install the puppy. Everything has been connected properly and in the correct sequence.
Thank you,
Ag

I am having the same problem. I tried the setup using instructions from the CD included with the router, from a version of the setup downloaded from the LinkSys site, and using the interactive utility at the web site. Everything flows smoothly along until it always fails with a message that it does not recognize that there is a wireless router connected. I tried the online chat help from LinkSys but this was challenging since I only had a single machine and single internet conection and couldn't maintain the connection for the chat session.
I have a Westell DSL modem from BellSouth and they did confirm that my LinkSys wireless router should work OK with my existing DSL service.

After downloading, install software does not see the internet.

Has anyone dealt with this issue, Please advise.

Go to system prefs>security and privacy>firewall and make sure that PSE is allowed out.

New Hard drive not working - please help!!!

This is an original thread that I'd started:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2066043&tstart=0
Since that, I tried the following this morning.
I took out the old 100GB drive and fitted the new 500GB (blank) drive. My plan was to fresh install OSX, install Carbon Copy Cloner and then clone the old drive by plugging it in with a reading device I have. What actually happened was the following:
I put in my Mac OSX install disc 1. I opened disc utility from the top toolbar. In disc utility the new drive showed up and I formatted (erase option) it to mac OS Extended (journalled). I then began a fresh install of OSX. As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued. All was going well and it prompted for the second install disc. It got some way through that and then got stuck at 38% installing garage band loops. The new internal drive was also making a repetitive noise - not loud or anything but certainly sounded like it was searching for something. As the whole thing was stuck and nothing was working I held down the power button.
I tried again with the first disc but it wont even do anything anymore! I took out the new drive and put in the old one. Booted up. Connected the new drive to the reader with the idea of re-formatting it via disc utility.
But now the brand new drive is not readable and is making the a few funny repetitive noises.
Please help me someone - I'm very worried about this new drive now!!! Is is broken or corrupted or something???
Your help is very much appreciated

Hi VS,
What "reading device" are you using?
As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued.
It is best to have the power adapter connected when running a long process like this which cannot be interrupted.

How long was it "stuck?"

It sounds like there is something amiss with the new HD. If you have access to a different external enclosure, (even on a PC, just to see if the HD will function), you could try erasing/formatting it again. If not, I think it's time to contact the vendor about a return.

ODBC driver not responding - please help

Hi,
This is what I am trying to do.
I want to connect to a database on another server from my PC using the ODBC driver. So here are the steps I performed.
1. Installed the Oracle 9i client.
2. Opened the Net Configuration assistant.
3. Performed all the steps in the "Net Service Name Configuration"
4. checked the tnsnames.ora file to see if the correct information was written. (and this checked out ok)
5. Tested the connection from the "Net Configuration Assistant" itself and connection was successful.
6. Opened ODBC Data Source Administrator. Created a Data Source Name and tried to test the connection. connection checks out from my machine but when i tried to do the same thing from our group server the screen freezes up and after a while it says "not responding"
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong here.
Thanks

90% of the time it's the Develop module. I will just be editing and it's stops responding. It's so frustrating. I have to exit out, which can take a while too. And just this past week...it started going back to not responding as soon as I open it back up in the Library module.
