Dialogue box requiring iLife Installer to replace missing files in iWeb?

My Intel iMac crashed the other day when installing a Kensington Trackball. Apple genius diagnosed and did an "archive and reinstall". Oddly, when I try to open iWeb, a dialogue box says ". certain files missing-install iLife installer". IPhoto won't respond at all. Itunes okay. Also my Adobe Photoshop (only) in my CS2 suite won't open. It seems all other apps are okay. Any idea where I find an "iLife installer"? I did try reinstalling the "bundled software only" package on the original discs with no difference.
Thanks for any help

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The archive and install removes critical files that those applications put in the system folders and are needed to run. The Photoshop missing item is a folder titled StartupScripts that is located in the HD/Library/Application Support folder.
Those for the iLife apps are more varied and it's best to reinstall them from the disk they came on. *Before installing be sure to delete any file with the name of the application you're installing that is in the HD/Library/Receipts folder* (they may be removed in the Archive and Install).
If you don't have a backup (i.e. Time Machine) of the StartupScripts folder you will have to reinstall Photoshop.

Click on the More Info button and ignore the web page, go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the MobileMe account. Next to go the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe. That will stop those messages.

Hello, mdougl10.
Here is the article that shows you how to remove iTunes and all of it's components when receiving the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". Once all components are uninstalled as outlined in the second article, you should be able to install iTunes again.

Installation Failed. Missing File

I'm attempting to download the Adobe CS6 Master Collection so that I can install it into my computer, but every time I try to install it says this...
Installation Failed
Your installation encountered errors.
Installer Failed to initialize. his could be due to a missing file.
More troubleshooting tips:
1. Restart your computer.
2. Exit all applications including startup items, virus checking and firewall software.
3. Launch the installer and reinstall your applications.
Is the problem persist, please contact Customer Support for further assistance.
Now, I've tried the troubleshooting tips a few times now, and also tried redownloading the thing about 4 times now, and nothing has worked. I just want to install the CS6 Master Collection to my computer, use my serial code, and start using these programs without any trouble. Can anyone help me out, and tell me what I should be doing differently?

I am using an iMac, with Mac OSX version 10.6.8 Snow Leopard installed.
Processor: 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
Memory 2 GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
I'm not sure what else you would want to know about the computer specifically, but if there's more that needs to be known that I didn't list, let me know, and I'll post it.

Missing File Messages / iWeb adding -1 to files names

I am trying to create a website using iWeb '09 but I am have an issue with missing file messages. I created the site without an issue. Opened it up the following day and immediately received missing file messages for almost all pages on the site. iWeb appends a -1 to valid file names ex: IMG_12345 -> iWeb message = missing file IMG_12345-1. I am also receiving the missing file messages with the template images which are not being used on the website (dragged and dropped my images over template images).
I tried to delete the pages then recreate them but that didn't work either. I also deleted the com.apple.iWeb.plist file (emptied trash) then restarted, held shift while rebooting, changed template to a different template then changed it back...nothing is working.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Another thing I noticed; I have two "domain.sites2" files, one in Users >> Folder >> Application Support >> iWeb and the other is in a personal directory. They are both modified today two hours apart. I just opened and closed iWeb and the file in the application support directory shows a modification not the one in the personal directory.
The first five or so times I opened iWeb I had to acknowledge the iWeb welcome screen before it wouldn't come back. It seems that my iWeb may be corrupted and have to be reinstalled?

OSM Service Studio installation in eclipse - missing files in installpack

Hello,
we are trying to install the neccessary updates in eclipse according to the document "Oracle Communications Studio Version 3.0.0" to run OSM Service Studio.
however eclipse complain: "Service Studio for Order and Service Management Integration (1.0.0.v200805122103-b276) requires plug-in "com.mslv.studio.activation (3.0.0)", or compatible." when we try to install com.mslv.studio.provisioning.integration.feature_1.0.0.v200805122103-b276.jar from a local install site.
When I look i the documentation on page 20 I realise that the following modules are missing in the downloaded file with updates V13266-01.zip (provided from edelivery.oracle.com):
(1) Service Studio for Activation 3.0.0
(2) Service Studio for Activation SRT 3.0.0
(3) Service Studio for Inventory 1.0.1
Have somebody else had this problem and solved it?
//Jesper

Hi,
I found this article under subject "Where To Find Activation And Inventory Plugins For OSM Service Studio Installation" in My Oracle Support
Goal:
Where can one find the Service Creation Environment (a.k.a. Service Studio) files for Activation and Inventory?
The documentation states that these components are necessary:
(1) Service Studio for Activation
(2) Service Studio for Activation SRT
(3) Service Studio for Inventory
Solution:
Download the "Oracle Communications Service Creation Environment x.x Software and Documentation" package from each Media Pack on eDelivery.Oracle.com :
(Activation) Oracle Communications ASAP
(Inventory) Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management
(Provisioning) Oracle Communications Order and Service Management
Search on Oracle Communications products.
Maybe this will help. However after choosing the Oracle Communications product line and platform as Sun Solaris(64-bit), it listing did not show the aforementioned package. You may as well try. Do let me know if you are able to download the package.
Thanks

Files that iLife needs are missing Files that iWeb needs are missing

Well, I seem to have a problem that was in other threads, but they really didn't resolve the issue - just got lucky.
When opening either any iWork app or iWeb, I get the following message: "Files that Ilife needs are missing".
This occured after an archive install, but I have removed any file/library remotely connected to IWeb and (several times) reinstalled ILife from the DVD.
I tried the install iWork demo workaround - no luck!
iMovie, iDvd, iTunes all work OK.
What are the critical files in this case?
How do I resolve this?

OK, I fixed it
1. Use AppDelete to delete all programs installed by iLife
2. Download iLifeSupport
3. Show Package contents, open "installers" and run each of the installers (5) then run iLifeSupport.dist
4. Reinstall iLife
Did it for me, but it took a while

Recently did an update, and a restart, now iphoto gives me this error message when I try to open it You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete' how can I 'repair' or replace missing files?? Thanks!!

I have an imac with snow leopard and really wish there was a how to database in the computer for this !!! I still love this computer tho. Thanks in advance for any help!!

iphoto its pictures are still on your computer under the pictures folder.. it will be one file that says iphoto library. Its a separate file from the actual program.
If you still have the disks that came with your unit they have the ilife applications on them. put the disk in your drive that says mac os x applications dvd. it will auto mount and there should be a folder called bundled software open this and there should be a .pkg file to reinstall the ilife suite which includes imovie iphoto iweb idvd and garageband . After installing don't forget before runnig the program run software updates to download the any fixes
if you r unit has disks labeled disk one and disk 2.. you need to boot off of disk one and choose install bundled software.
I believe there is a KB article through apple.com/support

AE CC - Error replacing missing files - 'invalid ascend count '0''

Hey guys,
In After Effects CC, when I try to re-link missing Illustrator files into a project, since everything was moved for purposes of archiving, I get the error message 'invalid ascend count '0''
I believe the project was originally done in CS6, then amended in CC before the archiving.
Nothing has changed in these files since then as far as I know, only the location.
I have no idea what may be causing this, if anyone can help I'd be truly grateful.
Thanks alot,
James D

Hey Dave, thanks for the reply.
That was my first thought. We are running CS6, so I had the original file backsaved to CS6. This resulted in AE simply crashing when I tried to relink the files. I then tried to open it in CC (of which I am currently using a trial version) which is where I am now getting the error.
Just to clarify the amend was done by a freelancer who had CC, I am running CS6 (should have mentioned earlier).
Thanks again.

Livecycle ES4 Installation from ESD - Missing files

I have downloaded ESD for LiveCycle ES4 and it does NOT include a self-running Quickstart jar file, com.adobe.granite.microcore.jar, in the \CRX directory
¿Can the ES3 version be used?

Correct, ES4 does not include the self running QuickStart. What is the use case you have for this standalone Quickstart?

Finder changes the file name in Save/Save As dialogue box

Whenever I save or save as a file, the dialogue box opens, but when I make the file list active when using a mouse, the file name I click to changes the file name I am saving. I simply want to activate the file list window so I can find the right folder. For example if I am looking for a folder called "Receipts" I want to be able to click on the file list window to activate it and then type the first 2 letters of the folder-- "re" and then save the file in that folder. The finder keeps changing the name of the current file whenever I click on one of the "greyed-out" file names? This doesn't make sense unless of course I want to replace that file.
Is there a shortcut that makes the file list window in the dialogue box active while in the SAVE/SAVE AS dialogue box??

Yes, this example of horrible UI design has been a problem since "Panther". It illustrates what happens when you try to copy UI behaviour from another OS, do it poorly, and end up with a mess. In 10.3 and 10.4, the combination of the renaming behaviour with the default "replace" selection in the resulting save can result in data loss.
Compared to the old Mac OS where a tab would flip the focus between the text field for the file name and the file browser, the current behaviour either doesn't allow enough keyboard access to controls, or with "full access" enabled, too many to cycle through easily. The inability to switch focus to the file browser using the mouse (depending on the view) is a horrible productivity loss. Having to recheck the filename before saving is a horrible productivity loss. Since there is no "undo" for the renaming in most files, having to retype the name is again, a horrible productivity loss.
If they had done it right (a simple change, like requiring a modifier to rename), users would probably welcome the "rename" feature as a useful addition. Instead, it has the feel of something a junior Windows-trained programmer slipped in past their supervisor.
In short, I am not aware of any workaround or hack to avoid this "renaming" behaviour. I doubt it will do any good since people have been doing so since "Panther", but you could try submitting feedback:

Search not working in open dialogue box.

Why is it that after nearly TWO years the search function in the open dialogue box is still not working in inDesign? Why can it work when in the PASTE dialogue box but not the OPEN dialogue box? I discovered this fault years ago and wrote about it in length but it has yet to be addressed. Is there anybody else that is bothered by this?

Doc Maik.
I'm on a MAC. The dialogue box that appears when you OPEN a file. The search command in the top right corner (spotlight) does not work. Has not worked since the upgrade to CS6. See attached.

Exchange Server 2013 Missing file on ISO install Error Code 1603

Hi all, a mystery needs solving any suggestions much appreciated:
We are trying to install Exchange Server 2013 on Windows 2012 server.
The ISO File being used is: SW_DVD9_Exchange_Svr_2013w_SP1_MultiLang_Std_Ent_MLF_X19-35118
All preparation and requisites in place.
During Stage 2 Copying files, we receive an error code 1603 and installation halts.
The error states:
Installing product F:\exchangeserver.msi failed. Fatal error during installation. Error code is 1603. Last error reported by the MSI package is 'Source file not found: F:\Setup\ServerRoles\ClientAccess\Owa\prem\version\resources\themes\base\0\microsoft.o365.controls.timeline.mouse.css.
Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.'.
We have verified that the Path in the error is correct and exists BUT the file is not present within the 0 folder.
We have downloaded the ISO from our Action Pack resources twice and attempted 4 separate installations.
We have tried both Mailbox/Client Access and Mailbox only installations.
The missing file: microsoft.o365.controls.timeline.mouse.css. Hopefully the only file misisng???
Any ideas anyone, could we source a different ISO or copy of the file or ?????
Many thanks in advance

Had the same issue with Exchange 2013 SP 1 Downloaded as an ISO from the Volume License Center, installing on a new Server 2012R2 STD box. I found the equivalent file in another ISO but discovered it was just an empty CSS file. So the easiest way is to not
bother trying to find the file but: 1) open notepad, 2) set save to "All Files", and 3) save an empty CSS file with that filename then place it in the directory indicated in the path given in the error. (Make sure it saves as
a CSS and not as a TXT.)
I reran the install and it completed without issue.

Missing files in Photoshop 3

Today I opened my catalog in Photoshop 3 for the who knows how many times and all looked fine. When I click onto any of the photos they appear grainy and have a broken orange box at the mid-bottom of all of them. A box then comes up 'searching for missing file" and nothing is found.
I have no idea what happened but really need to restore the pictures. Any alternatives are greatly appreciated.
