  • I need to upgrade my 10.5.1 os on my G4/1.25 (I'm having some audio-midi setup problems), but it's a machine that is not connected to the internet.  Do I have any options?  Thanks!

    Friends,
    I'm having some audio-midi setup problems on my G4/1.25/10.5.1 machine.  I'm thinking that a routine OS upgrade might help.  However, this machine is not connected to the internet.  Are there any alternate methods for upgrading system software?  Thanks in advance!

    OK, what you should do is download the updates on another machine and burn them to a disc.  Start at this link http://support.apple.com/downloads/#leopard for downloads and find, among other things, the 10.5.8 combo updater that works on PPC machines, plus security, QuickTime and other updates.  Going from 10.5.1 to 10.5.8, there will probably be a bunch of things that you should install.  Being off the internet with the machine, you can't have Software Update sort it out, so something might get missed, unfortunately.
    My suggestion is this: if it looks like you might need a download, get it onto that disc.

  • Setup problem, windows xp, firefox upgrade to 4 and asked to reboot but did not progress. keeps asking to restart even if I try to remove

    setup problem, windows xp, firefox upgrade to 4 and asked to reboot but did not progress. keeps asking to restart even if I try to remove

    Hi marsano,
    Usually the only reason it will ask you to reboot is if there is a file that must be modified that the updater doesn't currently have access to. You should try running the Firefox program once as Administrator:
    * Right-click the icon and choose ''Run as Administrator''
    If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
    # Download a fresh copy of Firefox from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/fx/ Mozilla download page] and save the file to the desktop.
    # [[Uninstalling Firefox|Uninstall]] your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before running the new installer.
    # Run installer
    Remember that you don't want to remove personal data when uninstalling. That way you'll still have your personal information.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Simple VISA Setup Problem

    Hi all,
    I'm having issues working with VISA in LabVIEW. Previously, I've used Peek/Poke VIs (before they were VISA VIs) that allowed me to read and write directly to registers at a given Windows address. I have a new, custom PCI Express board that uses the same architecture that I've worked with previously only this time I'm trying to access the registers using VISA.
    As this is my first time using VISA, I'm having some setup problems. Yesterday I got to a state where logically things should work but I still end up getting an error when I try to run a simple VISA Open command (see attached screenshot).
    The initial problem I had was I was not able to acquire a VISA resource that opens a session to my PCIe board...it would simply not show up on the resource list. After reading around I discovered I needed to create a custom VISA driver for my board. Once I did that using the VISA Driver Wizard, the device showed up in my list (as seen in the screenshot). I wrote the simplest of all VIs where I simply open that VISA resource, however, the error seen in the screenshot is produced.
    I'm pretty sure this is a simple setup issue, but does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    Hi bonhomme,
    I see you're having some issues using VISA. It sounds like you're new to VISA, so I wanted to pass along some information that we have availble on this software. This link gives good general information about VISA, and the related links are extremely helpful in finding specific issues.
    Thank you for attaching your error. This is extremely helpful in debugging since we can actually see the numbers. There is another forumn that talks about these at this link and at this link. 
    Hope this helps you out!!

  • CS4 Crashing Problems - Questions

    Just curious in regards to all of these "CS4 Crashing" problems.
    1) Before updating to Snow leopard, did you people do due diligence by at the very least checking the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drives and do a Permission Repair first BEFORE updating?
    2) Did you make a clone of your working perfectly Leopard disk, or at least do a current (minutes before) Time machine backup?
    3) Did you check first which 3rd party extensions such as those by Unsanity (FontCard), YouControl(Font), Growl, etc. that will NOT play nice with Snow Leopard yet until they are updated (if ever?)... and pre-update delete them?
    4) Did you check to make sure that all of your fonts have been disabled and those that are NOT specifically from Apple, are removed from the User Font folders... and NOT set to load at startup?
    Now after all of that... did ya still "freely" and without a gun to your head, update to Snow Leopard... a brand spankin' new (dot.zero) OS release and expect absolutely NO bugs: small, large or just inconvenient for the time being?
    And now your whining here?... and complaining to Apple?
    Have any of you considered reverting to your clone of Leo 10.5.8 until certain issues (yours) have been fail-safely fixed?
    For the record, I did a straight-up SL update on a 2.16 CoreDuo MBP, and a 2008 8-core MacPro with NO problems! Everything working fine in 32-bit and 64-bit (MacPro), including even FreeHand under Rosetta.
    NOTE: check your fonts!!! Whenever something crashes here or at any of my clients unexpectedly, font and/or font cache corruption has been the main culprit, now for over 20 years(!)

    Well on one hand, I was guilty of letting out a rant against all of the whiners... on the other I was trying to be a bit helpful.
    Maybe it will cause someone to think before starting another "Adobe or Apple must die or fix this" thread. It grates on the nerves... considering most should "fix" their expectations, upgrade habits, and most of all, the area between their ears first... BEFORE posting.

  • CS4 setup affecting CS3 user

    I set up a site in DW CS4 and created a connection key in Contribute CS4. I sent a connection key to my client who has Contribute CS3. The client is getting this message when she goes throught he connection process:  "This site is being administered with a newer version of Contribute. For more information please contact the administrator."
    What do I need to do to allow a CS3 user access a CS4 setup? When I tried to create the connection key in CS3, I get the same message and I'm the Administrator.

    Go to Edit>Administer websites. Choose the site. In the left column go to "compatibility" and choose "transition mode".

  • CS4 Export Problem

    I have an external hard drive to which I export my encoded CS4 video files once I have finished editing.  The problem is that, in doing so, space seems to be used also on my C drive.  I need to find and delete these files on my C drive once my PP project files are rendered to my external drive.  I have looked in temp files but they not there.  Can anyone advise me on this?

    That's done it S.V.  Many thanks!

    I'm a newbie so don't take my word as gospel buuuuttt....
    If you're using Vista you might be making the same mistake as me. Go edit>preferences>media, hover the mouse over the media cache files location (i.e. C:\yadayada) and TYPE that into the bar at the top of the my computer. Don't click through and try and find it, TYPE it like you would an internet address in a web browser.

  • Adobe master collection cs4 setup.exe installation problem

    This is frustrating.
    I have 30 day trial DVD from adobe, it is Master Collection CS4 and can't install it. Double clicking on setup.exe goes nowhere, just no response at all. You can see and hear DVD working, but nothing is happening, no response. I've been searching on forums, everywhere, no solution. Tried msicuu2.exe, also tried WinCS4Cleanupscript. Even registry cleaning tools. No progress.
    It is HP Pavilion dv7, core 2 duo, 2.2GHz, 4GB ram, 320 GB Hard Drive, Windows Vista SP1 (fresh instalation).
    Also tried with all current (july 2009) microsoft updates.
    Obviously because it is a trial version I can't contact adobe support.
    It is strange, I was able to install it on my old Windows XP laptop, but I can't do it on vista.
    Strange is also that I can install separatelly 30day trials of Photoshop CS4 and After Effects CS4 from adobe.com.
    As I said, this is fresh instalation, so there was no previous adobe product installed at all.
    Please help.

    yes I expected as much.  But I wasn't getting any good answers on vista either.  I have several users who will be moving to 7 in the fall and need to see if it will work.  thanks for the response.
    Since my last post, I may have found the answer (no thanks to Adobe).  Most of us having this issue are in using fresh installs of our OS.  Since the setup is very heavy Java, I downloaded the Java Runtime from Sun and POOF I can install now.  The error above went away and the install is running.  InDesign failed, but everything else has installed so far.  One would think that if the installer is so dependant on a Java VM being in place they would check for it and either prompt the end user or if an error occurs, post that in the error message.  But I have noticed that most of my Adobe problems in the past do not have good QA or error message support.  Usually I get a generic error message and am left to hunting for some kind of answer.
    So to those who are having this issue.  Load or re-load your Java VM and try again.  That helped me.

  • Photoshop CS4 Setup.exe gets Setup Error on Windows 8.1

    First: I've paid for Photoshop and upgrades for many years. However, when time came to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 last year, Adobe had shut that avenue off, and didn't want my money.
    I now have a new computer, and need to re-install Photoshop CS4. I followed the CS4 download instructions in this forum (because Adobe has also removed those instructions -- even though they sold the CS4 upgrade as a download!)
    When I run the Setup.exe file, three things happen right away:
    1) It says "Checking System Profile"
    2) It says "Setup Error -- Setup hs encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance."
    3) It pops up a dialog and asks for a serial number.
    This happens even when I Run As Administrator.
    Trying to contact Adobe Customer Support just re-directs me to these forums.
    Help!

    The problem is not with activation, because the Setup Error happens before I enter any serial number.
    I am downloading from Adobe, using the download suggestions found in another thread.
    I have the discs for CS2, but not CS4, as CS4 was bought as a downloadable upgrade.
    It turns out that, if I ignore the setup error and dismiss that dialog, and enter my serial number (and that of the previous version, because it's an upgrade,) it goes ahead and installs, so the "error must quit" is apparently not quite accurate.

    thanks for the reply I have windows VISTA and yes
    installed is a 64bit version and the normal version-I cannot choice

    maybe it has to do with the 64bit version because I always uploaded it to the normal 32 bit version?

  • Bridge CS4 causing problem with Explorer

    The following problem occurred after adjusting the Preference settings in Bridge CS4:
    When right clicking on any folder in either the Explorer or on the Desktop the following message is displayed "Windows Explorer has stopped working..."
    This is now the second time, after having created two new User Accounts. While Explorer worked perfectly for a couple of days before adjusing the settings in Birdge, I cannot undo what has caused this problem and am reluctant to setup yet another user account. Also, I can't figure out which setting change might have caused this.
    Is it possible that by adjusting the settings in Bridge it added a shell extension to Windows Explorer?
    Has anyone here encountered a similar problem after adjusting the settings in Bridge?
    Cheers,
    Michael
    Ps. this has also been posted in the Phtoshop forum

    Sorry, did not read your mail before sending the first answer...
    Glad it works again. Remember that OSX is Unix based and does not like
    strange caracters in folder and file names, and no slashes or dot's except
    the dot before a three caracter file extension.
    SOLVED!

    If ever i run the setup from CD, it "Inspect my system" but it does not complete (remain 3/4).
    As AV, i have Zone Alarm Internet security, but i configure it to allow Adobe but still nothing.
    Can anyone help me plz because i badly need these softwares for my work.
    Any software that i can use to force the setup installation to run????

    For other details:
    its that i just format my pc..

    i really need those software for my work. & the problem is that its the same problem with flash, after effects, soundbooth cs4.

  • Photoshop cs4 installation problems

    hi im having big problems getting Photoshop on and off of my mac book iv tried to uninstall it (i did it complete wrong by dragging and dropping it in to the trash i now know that’s not the way) iv put a post on the mac web site and was told to do this,
    "You won't be able to install CS4 until is is properly uninstalled. In the Utilities folder, you'll find the folder "Adobe Installers". There will be an alias in there named per the Adobe software you installed. Double click that to launch it and start the uninstall process. You'll get a list of software you can put check boxes in to remove from the hard drive. There's also a Select All button at the top.
    This may or may not work since you already manually removed some of the items the uninstaller will be looking for. If it appears to finish, then try installing PS CS4 again.
    The blunt approach is to use Adobe's Clean Script tool. This will remove anything to do with any piece of CS4 files from the hard drive. You will definitely be able to reinstall after running it. Be aware though that it will remove ALL CS4 software on the hard drive. InDesign, Flash Pro, Photoshop, etc. You don't get to pick and choose."
    non of this worked  and when i put the disk in it brings up the setup program but wont accept the serial number and when i try to install the trial version it asks for the disk to be inserted which is all ready in the disk tray iv got no idea what to do can any one help me please

    any one ????
