Emergency- Help! OS 10.4 reinstall

I had a disk error and lost my system directory, I used Diskwarrior to rebuild my directory so I can at least see my HD again. My question is - when I restart from the OS disk the only options I have is to install as new or Wipe and install.
If I use install as new will that wipe any files that are on the HD besides the system?
There are very critical files the where not backed up due to sabotage. Can I save those files?
Please help, Thanks.

Help with downloading and reinstalling

Will someone please help me download and reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 7? I have a new computer and have lost a ton of photos which are supposed to be in Adobe Revel.

if you don't have your installation media/files and use windows and if you follow all 7 steps, you can dl a trial via one of the links on this page: http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-photoshop-elements-8.h tml/comment-page-1#comment-2174
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a dl problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps. typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem.

This is a second try to get help. I need help to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop cc 2014

Bridge is not working well, I need to reinstall Photoshop cc 2014 . Someone from Communities was suppose to help me.

Hi John,
I used the chat "Creative chat support" this afternoon at around 14:40
and the person, Karthik M , gave me a link to Technical Support. I
guess he could not help me, but he said he understood the issue.   With
the link "Help, Adobe Installation problems",   I will follow the
instructions to clean ps cc2014 with CCleaner and reinstall the app.
It looks quite complicated but I will give it a try and hopefully succeed.
You have to understand when reading my previous messages, the issue is
no longer "Retreiving Photoshop CC" but reinstalling Phoshop 2014 to try
to repair Bridge.
Thanks for caring,
Suzanne Lanthier

It would appear that your system is somewhat mangled, and it is time for some general 'servicing'.
Start here:
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.
Background information here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452?viewlocale=en_US
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Thank you for the reply, I have checked the applicationHost.config as indicated, and the path shown is the same as in the error message, there is no D:\Exchange,Server\V14\Bin\ path, it is as indicated in the error D:\Exchange2010\Bin\. Here is the section
from that applicationHost.config file:

            <add name="kerbauth" image="D:\Exchange2010\Bin\kerbauth.dll" />
As indicated in my post, I have replaced the kerbauth.dll from another functioning exchange 2010 installation and it has not corrected the issue.
At this point I am looking for a solution for removing the mailbox role and being able to complete the uninstall of exchange and perform a clean install.
Any additional help with this is very much appreciated.

Please Help - I can't reinstall Elements 8 on my Mac

Hi All,
I am hoping someone online can help me.
I have a macbook laptop powered by OS X 10.6.4. My elements 8 installed fine when I originally bought it (a few months ago) and this is the first problem i've had.
Due to an error my by me (hand up) I deleted a file from my laptop which stopped my Elements 8 from working. What I did to try and remedy this was to uninstall all my Elements 8 and Bridge CS4 applications with a view to reinstalling it. Then major problem.
I load in my CD and double click the icon that appears on my desktop and find the file setup to start the installation process. All is working fine, I put in my serial number as requested and click ok, it then asks me to confirm I which programmes I want to install, I stay with the default as suggested on the CD and click Install.
Immediatly after a dialog box appears and says "Please Insert Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 to continue Installation". But it is already in there.
I have no idea what the problem is, I have not taken the CD out. It just stops.
Can anyone help. I can't see why this should happen.
Matt

Hi Matt,
Let us go on a clean up drive:
1. Please confirm that PSE 8 is/was the only Adobe application installed on the machine? (Reader is an exception)
2. If yes, then please remove the following folders:
Applications\Adobe Photoshop Elements 8\
Applications\Adobe Bridge CS4\
Applications\Adobe Extension Manager CS4\
Applications\Utilities\Adobe Utilities\
Applications\Utilities\Adobe Installers\
<Macintosh HD>\Library\Application Support\Adobe\
<Macintosh HD>\Library\Application Support\Logs\Adobe\
<Macintosh HD>\Library\Application Support\Preferences\com.adobe.....\
<Macintosh HD>\Users\<username>\Library\Application Support\Adobe\
To be on the safer side, after following the above steps, run the clean up script following the steps mentioned in the below link and make sure that no CS4 product or PSE 8 is listed in it:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html
Afterwards, try to install PSE 8 again. This time it should install fine...(Hope so... )
Regards,
Ankush

HELP. Can't reinstall flash on Mac OS 10.3.9.

I have a 1.25Ghz PowerPC G4 version 10.3.9.
I am trying to reinstall flash player, but the current download is for 10.4 and above.
I have found flash 9 in various places online, but when I try to install it I get an error saying it is for Power-PC only and to get the Intel version I should go the Adobe website.
If I continue with the install I get the message Error Creating File 1008:5,-500 Access denied error.
Does anyone know what the issue is, as I DO have a Power-PC and the version seems like it should work on my machine?
PLEASE HELP.

I'm using Tiger, but it may be the same in Panther.
Open the Page Setup window. In the *Format for* block there may be two choices available by clicking the arrows : Any Printer or your Epson. Select your Epson & you may have more choices for sizes.

HELP! Unable to reinstall SmartTalk. Appalling tec...

I think SmartTalk is a great app, but unfortunately like much of BT it is built around the most user-unfriendly systems and processses on the planet.
I've been trying to reinstall SmartTalk on my daughter's new phone for over the past week and it still refuses to work . I have contacted BT's SmartTalk technical help (which seems to be based in India) and so far they have failed to fix the isssue.
What really annoys me is the fact that everything seems to take 24 hours for something to happen due to the inadequacy of BT's systems. If you make any changes to SmartTalk it seems to have to go through an order system that apparently takes 24 hours for anything to happen - so if you make a change and want to check if it works, you have to wait 24 hours. Last Thursday morning I was actually told that I would need to wait until midnight on Friday before any changes went through their system. I was also informed that it cold take 5-7 working days for somebody from BT SmartTalk technical team to call me back!
This is crazy.
I also find it unacceptable that there appears to be no urgency in speeding things up or in findding a solution on an acceptable timescale. For example, yesterday I was speaking to a 2nd level supervisor , who told me that “some people are happy to wait months for a resolution because then they have a SmartTalk that works and they are happy with it”. I find it totally inexcusable that there may be an inbuilt expectation that users may have to wait months for a resolution.
Also it is impossible to find someone to complain to about this appalling standard of service. According to the technical people they can't talk with or transfer calls to complaints (and this is in one of the world's largest telecommunications companies! ) and it is impossible to find anyplace to contact via the BT website. (I tried, and got through to somebody who said that I needed to call the SmartTalk team in India - again!).
It has been a totally frustrating and demoraliing experience.
Can anybody help?

Part of the problem has finally being resolved - though I think I managed to solve most of the problem myself.
The problem is due to the fact that there were 3 iPhones involved (and no they weren't called Diana, Charles and James). A while ago my wife got a new iPhone and so we deleted her SmartTalk ID and set up a new one on her new iPhone . My daughter, who also had an older iPhone, then inherited my wife's old iPhone. Even though SmartTalk was deleted from my wife's old iPhone and I then deleted my daughter's old SmartTalk ID, it refused to install. So when I was getting nowhere with BT, I deleted my wife's new SmartTalk ID and also deleted the app from her new iPhone. After 24 hrs, I tried installing the app on my daughter's new iPhone (my wife's old iPhone) but got a message indicating that it was blocked. I then unblocked my wife's ID (removed it from the block list, but it was still not on the active list), waited and then tried reinstalling it on my daughter's new iPhone - success! All I have to do now is get it reinstalled on my wife's new iPhone.
So somehow there is a lag or error in the system that retains a memory of the previous phone and you have to remove all traces of this (even those relating to the ported number on a new phone) before it can reinstall.
I should add however that towards the end of this process I did finally get in contact with somebody in the BT SmartTalk UK design team who agreed with what I was doing. However this only seemed to occur after I had emailed BT via Facebook - I got a response within an hour; previously all attempts to get hold of somebody in the UK had failed.
So the problem appears solved (hopefully re-installing it on my wife's new iPhone will work). It is just a pity that I wasted hours on the phone and days (over a week) in waiting for systems to update to get to this stage. It was a very frustrating process that i hope others do not have to go through.
If anybody from BT is reading this please:
1. Update the BT SmartTalk portal to provide more information on what to do when changing SIM's or phones.
2. Provide a remove button to quickly delete other users on an account (at the moment you can only remove the main account holder or block (and then later unblock) other users; you cannot remove them.
3. Do something with your systems so that SmartTalk users don't have to wait 24 hours for "orders" to go through. There must be a way of speeding this up. You should not have to wait 48 hrs to block/unblock = remove somebody from the list. It should be almost instantaneous (an hour at most?)
4. Provide an email or telephone number for SmartTalk service complaints. This should be separate to the BT SmartTalk technical team (and please also provide a direct contact for them as well).
5. Provide a general complaints contact (not one for each BT silo) - customers shouldn't have to go through Facebook or this forum or write direct to the CEO to get a response.
6. Get rid of the mentality that customers will be happy if they wait months for a resolution - they won't!
I hope this helps others who may encounter this situation.

HELP!!! Reinstalling apps -- install hangs on 2nd hard drive

This is so bizarre. We had a major issue here with the production G5, so the suggestion was made to reinstall all the software, from the OS (10.3) to the production aps. (That's not quite the bizarre part, yet.)
We have 2 hard disks on this computer -- "Agatha" contains the production software, and "Zelda" contains all the customer files.
Agatha is the disk we wiped clean. Reinstalling the OS as well as Creative Suite went fine. But when we tried to install the 6.1 and 6.5 updates to Quark 6 (as well as the updates to Microsoft word and the whole program of Suitcase X) the installer program got hung up on "gathering information" and just spun the little ball for hours. In Suitcase, I notice that it hangs up while searching the Zelda drive -- none of this software has ever been installed on Zelda, so I don't know what it's looking for or finding there.
After about an hour on the phone with Quark Tech Support, they couldn't figure it out, and instead had me download an already-updated copy from their server. That still doesn't help us with Suitcase or the Microsoft apps, though.
Since the installer program SEEMS to be hanging up when it checks the Zelda drive (the one with the customer files), I'm wondering if there just isn't some way to make the system NOT SEE this drive???
Quark had us do all the usual tries: fixing permissions, logging in as root user, renaming folders.
I'm completely at a loss as to what's happening here and why we can't reinstall software that we had NO problem installing when we first bought it. I'm also worried that since it seems the installer or updater programs are the problem, that even if we upgrade to OS x.4 and Quark 7 (which I'm planning to do soon) that we won't be ABLE to update, since the updater program hangs.
Suggestions, PLEASE !

Hi, Amanda. I have no experience installing the programs you mention, and I may be well off the mark here. So if what I'm about to say seems off base, that's entirely possible — don't lose any sleep if you can't make it add up.
The application installers you're trying to run may be programmed to install items in the Application Support folder of the user account to which you've logged in before running the installers. If your Users folder isn't on the startup drive you're booted to, that's likely to cause problems. Are you booting to Agatha, and have you moved your Users folder to Zelda? I ask this because you say "'Zelda' contains all the customer files," and I'm not sure precisely what you mean by "customer files".
If "customer files" means only data files that you've created in your various applications, which would ordinarily be filed by default inside the Documents folder of the user account you normally log into, but which can just as well be stored elsewhere at your option, then that should pose no problem at all for the installers. But if "customer files" implies that you have different user accounts for different customers, and those account folders don't reside on the startup drive, then I suspect that's the cause of your trouble.

Can anyone help me uninstall and reinstall iTunes?!

when i try to get into iTunes, it says this action is only valid for products that are currently installed. So when i try to install it, it says the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below.
When i do that neither option works. I then click cancel, and it says "the older version of iTunes cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group"
When i try to uninstall it, it says the same thing (the feature you are trying to use is on a network that is unavailable...) and then says the intallation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and you can access it.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try reinstalling iTunes. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Need EMERGENCY Help... some photos are solid green

Been working on 8 different tribute videos all week... now exporting for showing at a banquet tonight and the problem is that some of the photos are appearing as green blocks. There is no consistency with file type, as some are jpegs and some are .psd. I have been doing these videos for 8 years and never had this probelm. I have tried exporting as MPEG-2, AVI and H.264. Same problem each time. Photos show up fine in PPro timeline. HELP!!!!

If the images 'Preview Render' fine in the timeline, and it's an emergency,
you could try exporting with 'Use Previews' checked.
You will likely take a degree of quality hit, but if it's an emergency.....
