Failed Installation - Lost Files & Memory

I installed Final Cut Studio on my Macbook Pro and because I only had about 18 GB of space left I just installed the applications themselves and chose to put the bigger folders within the applications onto my external harddrive. My ext. harddrive for some reason disconnected during installation (I had walked away) and after a while I realized that I didn't have enough space to put the rest of the installation on my laptop. I didn't understand that since I only wanted the MB size applications on my Macbook Pro. Now I have around 1 GB of memory left on my Macbook Pro's harddrive and can't find where all of the folders are that are taking up this space.

Final Cut Studio must only be installed on your system drive:
if you have placed folders on an external drive, FCP wont know where these files are so will not operate correctly.
If you dont have enough space to install FCP on your MBP:
a- delete existing files folders and applications to free up room or
b- buy a bigger internal drive
in any case, you need to sort out the mess on your drives and start again by
backing up work files on your internal drive, reformatting the drive, install the OS then install FCP properly this time.

Failed installation but space available going down. How do I delete files?

Hey I bought Sims 3 a few months back when I was using OSX 10.5 and then I upgraded to Snow Leopard when it came out and now I need to reinstall the game. I have tried about 5 times and each time the install stops working (gets to copying file x of y and doesn't move past this point). Unfortunately now it's gotten to the point where I only have 2.8GB free space on my HDD. I can't find any sims or EA files on my HDD so I can't delete them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Only once you know where that information is located, which we don't and EA does. Someone on these boards may happen to know, but even if they do, you've still got a failing installer to troubleshoot, and again, EA knows their installer best.

J2se installation - failed to extract file 'Dll_.ini' ..

Hello,
i've got following message during installing j2se 1.4.2_04 on windows server 2003:
"Failed to extract file 'Dll_.ini' from the binary table."
i've installed java based on the same file on my local system (windows 2000) - works fine!

MAKES ME BLOOD BOIL...!
I had also downloaded this:
Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language (j2re-1_4_2_05-windows-i586-p.exe)
It had installed (same login and same profile) OK on 2 PCs (HP and Compaq) Windows XP SP1 but gave this same error (below) on 2 x W2K SP4 (Windows 2000 Service Pack 4) machines (1 Compaq PC, 1 Dell Laptop) :
"Failed to extract file 'Dll_.ini' from the binary table."
That's after I discovered that Microsoft had REMOVED ALL msjavwu.exe 5.00.3810 from its web sites which was THE LAST RESORT to update Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 with the safety patch. (Critical update to Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (MSJVM) version 5.00.3810)
So I was left with W2K SP4 IE6 SP1 with JAVA NOT WORKING or WITH A SECURITY HOLE!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SUN AND MICROSOFT...!
I've patched MSJVM since (http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/1050022631/1) but it took me 3 DAYS to sort out what should have taken (max) an hour's work !!!
I still haven't solved the J2RE v1_4_2_05 problem as I've just discovered this page AND my end-users won't let use their machines (W2K SP4 Compaq PC & Dell Laptop) again for a long while yet (since Java works) !
Read a very good article about Java Problems: http://www.mcse.ms/message1062959.html entitled "XP SP2 and Sun Java Plugin" but applies to any Java and any Windows.

J2se 1.4.2 Installation Errror 'failed to extract file'

Hi,
I am running windows 2000 and am trying to install the J2SE v 1.4.2, SDK and keep on getting this error in the install shield:
"Failed to extract file 'dll.ini' from binary table"
I would be grateful if you could help me out why I am getting this error.
Thanks in advance,
smriti

did you ever get this solved? I am having the same problem. I also tried the jdk and got the same error so it's likely not a download problem.
thanks

ITunes v10.6.1.7 "Copying files failed. The File name was invalid or too long."

I'm trying to organize my music files using iTunes 10.6.1.7 and I keep getting the error message "Copying files failed. The File name was invalid or too long."
I've got music folders by artist in both the iTunes Music folder and the iTunes Media/Music folder. When I add certain files by drag/drop they sometimes get lost and I don't want that to happen anymore. I used to just consolidate my music files using the File/Library/Organize Library option and that worked, however now when I do that, I get the error message.
I'm a novice and the only online stuff I see is both confusing and refers to earlier versions of iTunes.
My concern is that I have heard that people lose entire libraries of their music when they trry to fix things like this and I don't want that. If this is of any importance, I have several files called iTunes library and temp library. I have no idea what that all means but I'm scared to death of it.
Also, I can't get to the "re-organize library" link at all. It won't let me.
One thing that be of some interest is that when I pull up the properties of the music and media/music files they are marked "read only" I'm also afraid to touch that!
Please help and please know that I am a dummy. Be kind and be clear. Step by step would be great, with images even better. Thanks.

Perhaps nobody knows the answer? We're fellow users here answering questions in our free time when we think we've something useful to contribute.
You can choose to *Consolidate selected tracks* with a right-click menu. Perhaps if you can identify a specific track that won't consolidate and examine the full path to the file & the path that iTunes would create when it consolidates the problem might become apparent. For example iTunes may not be able to move files if the source or destination path length exceeds 255 characters.

Homesite5.0 fails installation in vista

homesite5.0 fails installation right away after giving me
error:
in function sdcomponenttree unable to create dialog
then gives me a blank error box
then a series of blank abort/retry/ignore boxes throughout
installation
creates start menu dir, but no shortcut
does not copy files, does not create program files dir.
tried running as administrator, tried setting setup file to
xp compatibility to no avail.
anyone have experience with this problem?

Hi Bill, yes, I can do that. Created one several levels deep.
I assume you mean HS is running on Vista. It's not clear if you're
problem is in creating that directory on RDS remote host (from a HS
client running Vista) or specifically in also creating the
directory on an RDS remote host (or localhost) running Vista. I was
able to create a directory several levels deep on both a remote
machine (not running Vista) and my localhost running Vista, both
via RDS.
I'll add, FWIW, that I'm running HomeSite+ 5.5 (not HomeSite
5.0). If you (or others) really are still on 5.0, there's at least
a free update to HS 5.2 (
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/resourcecenter/resourcecenter.cfm?pagename=hs%5F52%5Fupdater& loc=en%5Fus&)
To update to HS 5.5, it would cost a HS 5.0 customer US$29.
More at
http://www.adobe.com/products/homesite/productinfo/upgrade/
That said, no release of HS specifically lists Vista as
supported (see the requirements page, which lists Win2k3 as tha
latest OS specifically supported):
http://www.adobe.com/products/homesite/productinfo/systemreqs/
I'll point out as well that if one has Dreamweaver 8, that
includes HomeSite+ 5.5 free on the CD (you use the DW license to
register it).
If anyone would ask about the difference between HomeSite and
HomeSite+, I'd point you to a blog entry I did (one of many, by
myself and others over the years):

External Drive Partition, Lost Files

As the title suggests, I made a mistake that "erased" all my files on a backup external hard drive, after splitting a partition in two and installing Mac OS X Leopard on the new partition. I use quotes in "erased" because the data itself is still there, but the access to it isn't anymore. Before thinking about using recovery software and going through the harsh process of churning through hundreds of GB of data to recover files that could be corrupted in the end, I wanted to seek the opinions of more knowledgeable people to see if there are alternative solutions that could be more simple.
Here's my situation and all the steps that lead to my current state. I have a iMac with Core 2 Duo Intel processor, 2.66 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and an internal hard drive of 320 GB, with Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8) installed. For backup and temporary transfer of files, I use an external USB hard drive, a Seagate FreeAgent with 500 GB (500 billion bytes = 465 GB actually).
I wanted to boot from my external hard drive to do some maintenance on my iMac's hard drive. So I used Disk Utility to split the current partition (the only one) on my external drive. The drive had 465 GB, give or take, with approximately 50GB free. The other partition to be created was 10GB. I know this is the kind of delicate operation that should be done with caution, but Disk Utility was saying explicitly that "this partition will not be erased", refering to the big partition that will become approximately 455 GB, the one that contains all my files. I say to myself, okay, that is safe.
Now, here comes the thing that I'm not 100% sure about. At this point, I don't know if the big partition was already erased. Both partitions (455GB and 10GB) always mounted on the desktop just fine. I was probably just "presuming" that everything went fine.
Then I proceeded to install Mac OS X Leopard from the installation DVD on the small 10GB partition, which went fine. It's only at this moment that I realised that my big partition was empty. Shortly after, I set the permissions of the big partition to read-only, assuming it would minimize further damage.
That's about it. At this point, my first thought was, what exactly just happened? In my mind, playing with one partition should not affect the other ones, but apparently, something did anyway, for a reason that is beyond my knowledge. Right now, I'm still wondering what operation did do the damage, the partition split or the installation of Mac OS X? Why would any of these operations erase the big partition?
And here's another important point to ponder. Before the partition split, my external hard drive was formatted as APM, Apple Partition Map. After the split, or after the Mac OS X installation (which one, I don't know), the partition scheme had changed to GUID. Maybe this is the key to solve the problem.
I know that my data is still intact, at least in most part, and I know that the file structure (B-Tree information, and stuff like that) seems to be intact (completely or partially) as well, because I visualized some sectors of my drive with a tool called iBored, and I recognized some folder and file names.
That's all the details I can provide. Right now, I feel like any low-level operation on my external drive is like defusing a bomb. One little mistake, and boom! So I prefer to do nothing until I can get some advice from others.
Thank you for your help!

I had the EXACT same issue last night.
Today, I downloaded Disk Drill and it is scanning and recovering my lost files from my external hard drive.
http://www.cleverfiles.com/partition-recovery.html
I thought I was going to have a heart attack when none of my files showed up on my Finder and I did not have a clue what I was going to do as my hard drive has practically my whole life on there!
As we speak, disk drill is in the process of scanning my hard drive and locating lost files.
Next step is to recover the files..
Estimated Time Remaining: 3h 20m
I will let you know if this was fully successful. It looks like it wil be though so I say you do what I'm doing and start recovering!

An error occurred while attempting to install the BizTalk application: Failed extracting CAB files.

Ok I have a BizTalk Application that's called :
FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200
I know that is a long name but why should I be punisched when I create an installer for that. I also have a WebService that exposes this schema. And this webservice is stored inside the MSI cab files. So far so good.
But now when I try to install this MSI alongside all my other MSI's I get the following message :
Failed to extract file "C:\Program Files\Generated by BizTalk\FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200\36FAA7B1-99DE-4AF6-A910-ED56D02D84EF\WebDirectory\-FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200.WES\App_Data\FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200.Schemas.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200.xsd".
(Length=306)
The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters., (NULL), (NULL), (NULL).
If i could install in C:\Program Files\Generated by BizTalk\FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200 but the extraction would take place in d:\temp or whatever, I would not have a problem. But unfortunately it extracts in a subdir of an already
very long path......
Is there anybody who knows how to solve this... (can I tell the MSI to use D:\TEMP\ as an extract folder).
And using shorter names is not an option.

You can control the destination path of resources in your MSI by modifying them in the Resources folder of a BizTalk application.
%BTAD_InstallDir% defaults to C:\Program Files\Generated by BizTalk\... etc etc. You can put in whatever you like here.
You can get more granular control over the resources by using the
BTSTask.exe tool.
If you can tell me how to make the extract process of he cabs point to c:\temp i will be happy to use BTSTASK (wich i am already doing). But the problem is with the extraction oft he web service. It will extract to :
C:\Program Files\Generated by BizTalk\FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200\36FAA7B1-99DE-4AF6-A910-ED56D02D84EF\WebDirectory\-FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200.WES\App_Data\FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200.Schemas.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200.xsd
Wich is just to long. I want the cabs to extract to c:\temp or something like that.....

Photoshop CS5 has lost file associations

I recently installed both Photoshop and Dreamweaver CS5, deleting the CS4 versions after installation. I have lost file associations for all Photoshop-related files: eg jpg, tiff, gif and so forth, and the psd extension as vanished altogether. (That means that if you click on a .jpg file, it opens in a free MS utility like Paintshop rather than where you want it to go: in this instance, to Photoshop.)
I have taken the following measures, none of which have worked:
Manually altered the associations in Folder Options. I can browse to photoshop.exe, but nothing happens when I select it.
I have gone into the registry and deleted all associations under the relevant file types, eg .jpg etc. Restarting folder options replaces them exactly as they were, and I still cannot associate anything with Photoshop.
I have run Photoshop from the command prompt with the tag /regserver which ought to re-register it. Nothing happens. (If you want to try this, open the Start > Run box, browse to the .exe file and append (separated by a space) /regserver
I have changed and saved all file associations in the Bridge Options section. They are still there after I restart Bridge, but it has no effect on the overall file associations.
So that leaves me stuck. Both CS5 programs are registered in the program list, and both appear in the Start menu list of programs. Neither appear in the Folder Options list. I am running on XP Pro with today's (16 Sept 2010) MS updates. Can anyone help with this?

Solution
I have found how to fix this, for me at least and on an XP machine. Some users may find the procedure a bit unnerving. You should anyway back up your registry before making these changes.
Start > Run > regedit
Go to:
HKCurrentUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts
That will give you a long list of file extensions: ex .jpg, .png
Scroll down to and select the relevant ones, one by one. This is moderately laborious, but what follows is repeated exactly. (I found the .tiff extension was slightly different and left it alone. I never use tiffs so I don't know if it works unchanged.)
When you click on the + box for e.g. .jpg, two 'folders' open. These are
OpenWithList
This sets the list of potential programs to use for this extension, lettered a,b,c etc.The last entry in the 'folder' is MRUList which sets the priority order for these programs, eg if it has 'bcade' then program 'b' is first, 'c' is second etc. You can edit this order by clicking on it.)
OpenWithProgIds
This stores what kind of image this is. Under .jpg I found that I had 'jpefile' and something like Photoshop.9 (I don't recall exactly.) This refers to a very old version of Photoshop, certainly not the last one on this machine. All the other relevant image files had much the same terms associated with them. Some had four or five older Photoshop references: you can delete these entirely by right clicking on them. You then right click on the remaining Photoshop reference and alter it to read Photoshop.Image.12 Do not change the identity entry, e.g. the term 'jpefile', as mentioned above.
It is also worth navigating back up to
HKCurrentUser\Software\Adobe\Photoshop
I found that I had reference to five separate versions of Photoshop. You can delete all but (numerically below) the 12.0 folder.
Close regedit and reboot. You will find that Folder associations now recognise Photoshop as a valid program and assign it to the files that you have changed. I have not tried adding to the list in Explorer > Folder associations.
This is pretty shameful, frankly. Adobe's installation program should clean out all preceding registry entries when it de-installs a version. It should most certainly write Photoshop12 refereces when installing. This must be a pretty geenral problem.

When trying to start my Windows server 2008 R2 Data Center, I am getting "ramdisk device creation failed due to insufficient memory",

I have the following:-
VMWare workstation version 9 , with windows server 2008 R2 data center installed.
- I have installed the windows 2008 R2 inside the VM using an iso image.
- The host is windows 7.
I use to work well with the VM, but after adding a new VM to the same workstation . I start getting the following error when starting my old VM
ramdisk device creation failed sue to insufficient memory.
And on the windows boot manger screen they mentioned to :-
inset my windows installation dis and restart my PC.
click “repair your computer”
but not sure if this will fix the problem , baring in mind that the RAM assigned to the VM
is 24 GB & 80 GB hard disk.
The error is
Link.
so can any one advice what is causing this error?
Thanks

You might start by checking the RAM.

ORA-19505: failed to identify file - RMAN in creating standby DR database.

I got this error when creating standby database at remote target server.
ORA-19505: failed to identify file "/backup/dxp1p/online/DXP1P_CF_c-2027711285-20131204-01"
Here is what I did:
1.   started the listener and created corresponding tnsnames entry at remote standyb server
2. startup nomount to the standby database at remote server for an empty instance (instance name dxp1p).
3. All rman backups are in the /backup mount point at primary and the mount point is shared on the remote server as nfs.   So, whatever have in the backup we should be able to see and read from the remote as well.
4. Run the following at primary rman:
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup current controlfile for standby;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
exit
5.   Start the rman command from primary after connected to the standby server, as the primary DB uses ASM and the standby DB uses file system for the database files:
RUN

Remote Resources: "A problem with the system proxy caused the connection to fail: End of file"

Hi, I am trying to use "Remote Resources" on the current version of the Microsoft Remote Desktop for Android app, I can input the webfeed and it even shows the apps that I have configured on the server for "Remote App", sadly whenever
I try to load any of the RemoteApps, I receive an error stating " A problem with the system proxy caused the connection to fail. End of File".
I don't know what I can do to fix this, I've tried many things to no avail, also, normal Remote Desktop connections from the Microsoft Android app work flawlessly to the server.
The relevant log is the following:

Now, I know the host can be resolved because: if I connect to the same host but on a full remote desktop (as opposed to just RemoteApp on it) I have no trouble either through 3G OR through my work connection.
Moreover, I also tried directly inputting the IP as opposed to the web address of my server, I get the same error, that is the Remote Resources tab is able to access the feed (because it shows the available RemoteApps) but when I click an app it says it can't
find the Host, here's the log for the connection directly to the IP address/rdweb/feed/webfeed.aspx :

I'm really puzzled here, I've tried checking if ports where open, and ports 443 and 3389 are wide open, I don't know what else it could be.

You usually cannot mix -compat=4 and -compat=5 code in the same program. The C++ Migration Guide(search on docs.sun.com) that comes with the compiler explains the limitations.
When building a C++ static (.a) library, you should use
CC -xar
instead of
ar
so that any required template instances get included in the library.
The warning message about sb probably means that the -sb or -xsb option was not used consistently. Use it when compiling and when linking, or not at all. (You don't have to use it on all compilations, but you'll be missing some symbol data.)

According to the following docs, you should not get this error when you apply Patch 8904424 so I would suggest you log a SR.
