FYI basic install issues

Backed up HD using Time Machine. Verified HD using Disk Utility (verify preferences grayed out). Restarted MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 with 90GB remaining on HD. Inserted Snow Leopard with nothing plugged in except the power cord. The install ran for 3.75 hours but did not install. Quit install, ejected DVD, restarted computer, inserted DVD, ran install for 2.5 hours - nothing. Repeated the process and voila - third times a charm - Snow Leopard installed.
NOTES: I always jump on the NEW bandwagon and always feel like a Beta tester. This OS runs slower than the previous version. Font issues, multiple "Software Update" icons on the dock trying to replace and install fonts. Mail doesn't like my mail servers (rebuild), WiFi doesn't recognize my external drives on wake up so need to separately mount them each time the computer goes to sleep. A nuisance! Many third party apps don't respond as quickly as before especially Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2. Quicktime is cool!
My opinion: Reviews of Snow Leopard are more hype than reality. It's in Beta stage and I look forward to the next update that will address the clumsy OS Apple just released. Much needed to clean up the whole process from bad installs to slower processing speeds. Nice try Apple but lots of work to be done to make this OS all that the David Pogue lobbyists of the world claim it is . . .

I was a beta tester. I've installed on six different machines over the long period of testing. If this is still beta software then all software is beta software (which may be a true statement.) If you were a beta tester you might have second thoughts about what you wrote.
My longest installation period was 42 minutes. That was an upgrade over a Leopard system. My shortest was a clean install which took 25 minutes. If yours took 3.75 hours it wasn't because of a problem with Snow Leopard. You had a dysfunctional system that you tried to upgrade, and that upgrade failed - not too big a surprise.
I've benchmarked SL against Leo, and for the most part it is faster. Beta testers reported no real problems with Adobe CS3 or CS4.
If you want a better experience I suggest erasing your drive and reinstalling SL from scratch. Then come back and tell us how bad it is.

Basic install of SOA 10.1.3.1 in XP fails

Greetings All,
Soa 10.1.3.1 iinstall in XP completed successfully. After few days the oc4j startup failed with error. Therefore, I deinstalled it and tried to install it again (basic install).
The install and set up completed without any error. During configuration when it tries to configure BPEL install fails with following error:
*Could not get DeploymentManager
This is typically the result of an invalid deployer URI format being supplied, the target server not being in a started state or incorrect authentication details being supplied. More information is available by enabling logging -- please see the Oracle Containers for J2EE Configuration and Administration Guide for details.*
Does any one know how to fix this error?
Thanks,
Raman

All,
This issue is now resollved. I cleaned up the Temp directory and tried re-install and install completed without any error.
Isn't this odd behavior (because I don't understand it).
Does any one have any explaation for this behavior?
Thanks,
Raman Shah

SP2010 Foundation Post Install issues on development workstation - Database and Services

Just recently installed SP2010 Foundation for a development workstation. Platform isWin7 X64 pro, SQL 2008 (Developer edition)
(1) Looks like search has some configuration issues. This is in the Windows event log
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Search.Administration.SPSearchJobDefinition (ID 38eefca2-d092-47f4-a833-23f8280c5f63) threw an exception. More information is included below.
The device is not ready.
(2) In Central Admin > Servers in Farm
Status - "Upgrade Available",
(3) In Central Admin > Manage Database Upgrade Status
Sveral of the Datbase(s) mention that upgrade is recommended, but one in particular mentions that the DB is too old?
WSS_Search_GHHTY
SPSearchDatabase
Database is too old and upgrade is required
Huh?
(4) Looking at my local SQL 2008 instance that SP2010 created, I see several DB's with "Config" in the name along with a guid on the end of the name. Is the result of re-running the configuration wizard several times while
I was correcting install issues?

here is question, i am assuming its fresh install not upgrade...
when you run the config wizard( you mentioned many times), which option you select from 2nd try to on ward....cannot disconnect this server from farm?
are you using any script to install ?
I would say run the config wizard without disconnecting and this server will host CA option.
from the central admin > manager server in farm...on top you will see farm version and config database name. note it
from the Manage database Upgrade status page note all the db names
now match it on sql and keep those and all other should gone now as a clean process.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

Hi,
I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
another forum here:
MAC
OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues Forum
Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
and Illustrator.

Hi davidd61713525,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to. A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk. There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
And a similar older one:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
I would try the following options:
Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not. You can try running a disk and permissions repair. After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion. If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know. I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

Re-Installing Issue

Hi,
I have a G5 I had to re install and erase my HD cause I had issues, now that i am rebuilding the system it won't let me install FCS, I get to the DVDP disc and it says Installation failed.... I tried it a few time and I get the same error. Can anyone shed some light on this please?
thanks

Welcome to the forum!
Made sure the disks are clean? I'd call Apple on an install issue if it's new or if you suspect a damaged disk and you're the registered user.
Which OS are your running? QuickTime Version?

Webutil install issue

Hello,
I have a strange WebUtil install issue on 10gIAS 10.1.2.0.2. I downloaded the 1.0.6 WU version and put it into a webutil directory under forms (which the pre-configuration of AS seem to assume) and when I call the forms servlet with ?config=webutil the "RegisterWebUtil - Loading WebUtil Version 1.0.6" shows but the main applet doesn't load. The webutil HTML template is found and looks OK in View Source but no applet. The config section has a archive_jini but it behaves as if the main jar can't be found(?) Nothing extra in the jinit-console, even at log level 5. webutil.cfg is copied to forms/server and frmwebutil.jar to forms/java.
Suggestions appreciated,
Nik

Hi,
Can you check Vitual Path of WebUtil in the config file ..\forms\server\forms.conf?
I would like to see your files
..\forms\server\default.env
..\forms\server\forms.conf

I was trying to activate my CS3 and got help from chat until he said it was an installing issue. The application opens and then closes unexpectedly.

I just got a new mac and I'm trying to download my Adobe CS3 onto it. I was able to download and then I tried to activate it. I entered the CS3 serial number and then asked for the serial number of the older version. I originally bought CS2 on disc and downloaded it onto my old mac and from there bought an upgrade to CS3. I no longer have the discs or box for CS2 and so I do not have the CS2 serial number. I contacted chat support who helped until I reached the point where I could open the application but then it would quit immediately and say "Adobe Update quit unexpectedly." Then he said it was an installing issue and turned me to the forums. Help, please?

JohnEden I would recommend running all available uninstallers to remove the current installation. The uninstallers are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once you have ran the uninstallers then please also utilize the CC Cleaner Tool for a complete removal. You can find details on how to utilize the CC Cleaner Tool at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

Error when installing issue in Content Viewer

Hi,
I have a strange error in my Content Viewer.
When downloading it stalls and a message says "Could not install issue, relaunch app and download your purchase again" (my translation from swedish).
It sometimes stalls when downloading and sometimes when installing issue.
Anyone got a solution or having the same problem?
Br
Henrik

Henrik, this can be either or. The internal Acrobat.com servers seem to have download issues once a week or so.
The best way I think you can determine this is if the download is failing at the same point during the download. If it is, it's a problem with the folio. If it's not, then it's a temporary problems with the servers.
If it is a problem with the folio, there's no straightforward answer -- but if you were able to download that folio recently, delete or update the articles you've added since.
If you have no idea what's causing it, you can either start deleting articles, or try updating them first.

Advanced vs. Basic Install

Hey everyone,
What is the difference between advanced vs. basic install for OBIEE?
I paged through the deployment guide (b40058.pdf), and the most that I could find is that you have to have an advanced install in order to setup SSL. I also think I remember reading that you need the advanced install for SSO.
Are there any other security benefits to an advanced install beyond those two points?
Thanks!
-Joe

Hi Joe,
The main reason for using Advanced is that if you have Oracle Application Server then the process is integrated and slightly different, and that environment would give you access to SSO etc
The basic installation is quick and easy, but should also be used if you are then going to deploy to an other web server, this includes weblogic, which although an Oracle product in name and I believe the 'go forward' web platform, is not yet integrated into the installer for OBIEE.
Hope this helps
regards
Ed

Is Basic Install of 10.1.3.1 Sufficient for SOA Suite Tutorial

Hi there. My knowledge of Application Server is pretty basic. I've been trying to setup for the SOA Suite Tutorial. I installed Database Express Edition installed for the SOADEMO schema then ran the Basic install of SOA Suite on Windows XP without the firewall up and no DHCP.
When I run through steps in the tutorial I am unable to establish a connection to the application server. Checked the Port which is 6003. In the test of the connection I get refused a connection and a suggestion to check if OPMN is running, which it is.
I am wondering if I need the HTTP_Server web server installed as well (not installed with the Basic install). Any ideas? Maybe the tutorial only works with the Advanced Install of SOA Suite!

Reinstalled basic installation of SOA Suite. Am able to establish connection to DB in JDeveloper. When I follow the procedure in SOA Suite Tutorial to establish JDeveloper connection to the application server I get the following error when testing connection (note pipsqueak hosts SOA Suite - separate machine to JDeveloper).
Error getting OC4J Process for: opmn-home+oc4j-pipsqueak.its.utas.edu.au-6003-default:

Can' t read disk label, install issues

can' t read disk label, install issues
i am trying to install solaris 8 on a sparc5 (256mb, 4.2gb,110mhz). i initially installed using the installation disk and it seemed successful as i was able to load the rest of the cds. something went wrong though b/c the system is stuck in a rebooting loop after it finished the last cd. so i went searching and found that i could only have a root partition of no bigger than 1gb. since i used the installation disk, i was not given an option to specify slice sizes. so now, i am trying to redo the install starting from the first disk (1 of 2) and skipping the installation disk. when i do a "boot cdrom" with the 1 of 2 disk, i get the cant read disk label or something about short entry and it will not boot. i am using actual Solaris 8 cds and not downloads. what can i do to get it to boot up from the first disk, or fix the partitioning on the disk?

I am using the offical Solaris 8 Installation 2/02 for SPARC Platform Edition for Sun Computer Systems February 2002, Revision A
Output from the probe-ide command follows:
device 0 (Primary Master)
ATA Model: ST3160023A
device 1 (Primary Slave)
Removable ATAPI Model: LTN4865
device 2 (Secondary Master)
ATA Model: ST340016A
device 3 (Secondary Slave)
not present
device 0 is the new hard disk that I just installed
device 1 is the CDR drive
device 2 is the original hard disk. I can boot this but now get some magic disk errors or something like that
device 3 is not present
I have all devices set to cable select according to the manual.
Thanks for your help...

Windows xp itunes install issue

I am attempting to install Itunes using Windows XP at Service Pack 3 with all the security updates installed. The instal begins and during the final process of setup, I receive the following error message and the Itunes instal backs out and stops.
Error message, " These is a problem with this Windows Installer package. Aprogram run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor".
I am looking for some advice after working on the Apple and Microsoft website's trying to find a solution.

Thank You B Noir for the helping hand in reapiring my problem in loading Itunes.
I ended up working with an Apple Service Tech who had me delete all the programs associated with the Apples Itune install. Quicktime, Apple Application Support, Apple Modile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Software Update.
Each of the programs were un-installed with no issues until we started the uninstall of Apple Software Update, which your note indicated could be a cause for the install issue.
Using the Windows program "Fixit" downloaded off the Microsoft website, we determined that the registry keys for this program had become corrupted. We used Fixit filtering down to an install repair module inside if Fixit to remove the damaged program from my PC's registry then Fixit uninstalled the Apple Software Update program.
Once this was done, we were able to successfully instal Itunes using the latest Itunes install packaged found on the Apple website.
Thanks Again for your advice.
