Okay so I followed the steps outlined above (and in the tech doc)., and when I go to manually install Air I get the following message:

  • "Application Not Found" CS4 installation error

    Problem: "Application Not Found" CS4 installation error
    Some Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Production Premium distribution disks issue an "Application not found" error while loading Disk 2 due to an error in the Autorun.inf file.
    Does your Autorun.inf for Disk 2, 3, or 4 contain
    [autorun]
    open=Autoplay.exe -auto
    icon=\csppdvd.ico
    Autorun.inf should instead only say
    [autorun]
    icon=\csppdvd.ico
    There should not be the line
    open=Autoplay.exe auto
    Only Disk 1 should have this line.
    On Disk 1, Adobe has a file called Autoplay.exe which starts the installation.
    "open=Autoplay.exe auto" runs the Autoplay application.
    Autoplay.exe is not on Disk 2, 3, or 4 so having the open line generates the error.
    Since you cannot edit the DVD, the trick is to turn off autorun so Windows doesn't run Autorun.inf upon loading Disk 2. Look at the Wikipedia description of "Autorun" for details. Wikipedia describes how to disable Autorun using
    Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc
    You will need to do this for XP. Vista has a Control Panel which allows you to "Take no action" for "Software and games". If this does not work, use gpedit.msc instead. You will know Autorun is off if upon inserting Disk 1, no installation window appears.
    Wikipedia notes that "AutoPlay is the name of a different feature in Microsoft Windows" not to be confused with Autorun starting the Autorun.inf file.
    Now that Autorun is off, manually double click Autoplay.exe on Disk 1 to start the installation. Disk 2 should now load properly.
    By the way, it appears you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Some Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Production Premium distribution disks had the same problem. Obviously, Adobe did not learn from their past mistake.
    You may want to call Adobe to obtain replacement disks which don't have this error.

    Petrula,
    Can you look at the DVDs and send me the numbers you find on the inner edge? Also, any numbers on the outer DVD sleeves. This can help us to identify which sets of media are affected and possibly resolve it, or at least more specifically target solution information.
    Thank you!

  • Fix for "System Error" message

    Heres the fix for "System Error" error message when trying to open search and the dictionary...Open main menu->applications, Scroll down to the last app's icon and press the options button and choose organize, now select the last icon and choose remove, now it will ask "yes" or "no" wait there for 5-6 secs and give "no" and then choose "done", now the icons would refresh revealing the "Search", "Dictionary" and "Update" apps on the screen...No you will not get the "System Error" messages..

  • IOS update fix for the map app

    So exactly how long do users have to wait for an update fix for the map app?

    The maps included with the iPhone do not cost extra and do use the existing data plan.
    AT&T Navigator (GPS) does cost an extra $9.95 (or so) per month.
    Most other GPS apps have no monthly fee and use the GPS and, in some cases, the data plan on your phone.
    I recommend either Navigon (takes a lot of storage room but maps are stored on the iPhone) or GPS Drive (reasonable price, has great features, maps come from the data path so requires a data signal but takes much less space).

  • FORD BLUETOOTH UPDATE - FIX for NO GSM SIGNAL

    FORD BLUETOOTH UPDATE - FIX FOR NO GSM SIGNAL ON MAIN AUDIO SCREEN
    Yes just upgraded my Ford Mondeo 10 plate, which has ford top of range audio with satnav (not Sony system) and worked first time !
    Just follow instructions from link below
    so happy it all works again
    Here is the link below :- (BIG thanks to Shamu 35)
    http://www.ford-mobile-connectivity.com/downloadsUpdates

    Hi,
    Yes, I have tried everything, first deleted iphone pairing from ford audio then deleted ford audio from iphone then repaied.
    It does repair to the car audio as I can search phone book look at missed calls in or last calls out but no GSM signal icon which was in the bottom lefthand corner on the screen and when you make a call to the iphone the phone vibrates and the car audio lowers the radio volume but does not pass the call to the ford audio.
    This all worked perfect on IOS 4.3.5 is there a downgrade for the iphone from 5 to 4.3.5 ?
    I rang apple to ask this and was told no, basiclly go away !!! the phone is only 4 months old and worked until this upgrade, it must be the IOS 5 update as other people are all reporting bluetooth issues with car integration ?

  • Applications update asks for appleid several times but never updates the apps

    Applications update asks for appleid several times but never updates the apps. Seems to be in a loop.

    Were you using a old Apple id before ?
    Because that may be the issue, try deleting all the Apps, go on Settings > iTunes & AppStore > Finish session.
    Then Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings.
    And the log in your Apple id again, and troubleshoot.
    Good luck.

  • Failed to Add Update Source for WUAgent Error = 0x87d00692 - HELP!!

    I am having trouble with my clients recieving updates.  I notice alot of my clients where my primary site is are recieving updates but all of my clients in my secondary sites are not.  Below is output from the WUAHandler.log on a client system.
    Group policy settings were overwritten by a higher authority (Domain Controller) to: Server HTTPS://SERVER.COMPANY.COM:443 and Policy ENABLED WUAHandler 4/12/2013 8:21:28 AM 4220 (0x107C)
    Failed to Add Update Source for WUAgent of type (2) and id ({AA27FC20-A281-46CC-B04F-D0940B5E072F}). Error = 0x87d00692. WUAHandler 4/12/2013 8:21:28 AM 4220 (0x107C)
    The server stated above is correct and we have no GPOs applied to our enviornment for an update server.
    I did just update to SCCM 2012 SP1 and have applied all the hotfixes for WSUS.  I am at a roadblock.  Would a site reset be advised?  Perhaps WSUS and SUP reinstall?  Any help would be appreciated I am out of ideas.
    My enviornment:
    1 primary server - roles- sup, dp, mp
    3 secondary sites - role - dp and mp - clients under these sites do not get updates
    Ryan Ventimiglio

    When I have checked this my current SCCM server address thats listed in the WUAHandler log is set in the registry for the client.  So this is the same address so its not like anything is conflicting. 
    Whats strange about this is that everything was working fine before the SP1 upgrade.  I just ran a site reset but no change.  Do you think a WSUS/SUP uninstall/reinstall would be the next step?  Is this done typically?  Any other
    things I should be checking.  I know we do not have any GPOs set in our enviornment for this so this cant be the problem.

  • Pro Application Update 2007-01 install error

    I recently Install Logic Studio and went right to software update before launching anything. It found several available updates and began downloading and installing them. Two of those downloads were the Pro Application Updates 2007-01 and 2007-02. I walked away for a while and when I returned I had received an ERROR message saying that Pro Application Update 2007-01 couldn't be installed. I noticed that Software Update installed the second update before attempting the first update. I blame this for the error message.
    But what now? I have attempted to install the update 2 more times to no avail. I assume one fix might be to UNINSTALL/REINSTALL LOGIC (which would be very time consuming).
    Any ideas?? THANKS!

    i got this install error message as well. The update is for Final Cut Pro which I have never installed. I guess thats why it would´t update...

  • Constantly getting "Reopen for Clustered Client Failover registered application has failed for FileObject " error in CCFilter eventlog.

    Hi everybody.
    Hope somebody will be able to help me with the following issue.
    I have the following environment configuration:
    1. WFC cluster (cluster1) contains 3 nodes - sql1,sql2,sql3
    2. sql1 and sql2 can run single shared instance SQL server
    3. Node sql3 is a standalone SQL server.
    4. AlwaysON is turned on shared instance and standalone SQL servers and availability group have been configured for multiple DBs. So sql3 is a replica of shared instance.
    5. All this runs on Vmware as a virtual machine.
    I'm  constantly getting following error in Microsoft-Windows-CCFFilter/Operational logfile when I execute SQL DB/Transaction log backup maintenance plan on my shared instance SQL server (sql1 or sql2):
    Log Name:      Microsoft-Windows-CCFFilter/Operational

    Getting multiple mentioned errors for every single DB I'm running my backup maintenance plan against. The maintenance plan gets executed on SQL1 which is shared instance machine.
    Any ideas of what can cause this and how to fix it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes. I'm doing backup on primary replica in the AlwaysOn Availability Group. And this primary replica itself is a WFC shared SQL instance.
    I've double checked Maintenance Plan's History and Agent's logs. No Error, no warning, nothing. And by the way DB full and transaction log backups gets created as they should. By that I mean that 'For availability databases, ignore Replica Priority for Backup
    and Backup on Primary Settings' property is turned on and this allows me to do backups from primary replica.
    As you've written I've clear the maintenance plan setting ''For availability databases, ignore Replica Priority for Backup and Backup on Primary Settings.', and configure the availability group's AUTOMATED_BACKUP_PREFERENCE setting to allow backup from any
    replica for certain availability group. But still nothing. Getting the same error.
    This is how AVG1 are configured regarding Backup preferences:
    For example this subplan from Maintenance plan cause mentioned errors:

  • Itunes artwork display issue and a fix for  'unknown error occured (-50)'

    Too bad they dont have stickies. This would be a great one.
    This is a thorough fix for art work and the -50 error.
    If you see artwork in itunes, first verify that the artwork is in the mp3 tag using a program like "tag and rename" http://www.softdepia.com/tagrename_download1291.html
    If the artwork shows up in tag and rename, then you added it correctly.
    If the artwork isn't displaying on ipod, delete the song and retransfer to the ipod. Next make sure the "view artwork" check box is checked. To do this connect your iPod to iTunes and there will be a checkbox that should be checked to see if you want artwork to show up on your iPod.
    If you get this message -
    The ipod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50).
    And have no artwork at all in you IPOD , dont fret. I am getting there..
    NO you DO NOT NEED to FORMAT YOUR IPOD YET as commonly posted. I have tested and retested the following fix-
    Eject IPOD. Kill ITUNES.
    Backup the following files
    iTunes Library.itl
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    & anything in the Previous Itunes library folder
    and delete them. More info on these at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
    Dont worry, its much easier to recreate the database than to wipe your IPOD.
    Next Start up ITUNES. Plug in IPOD. You now should have a empty database.
    At this time, uncheck copy ARTWORK to IPOD, and when it's done deleting artwork, CHECK Copy ARTWORK to IPOD.
    It now should sucessfully display ARTWORK and not get the -50 error!!
    Now, goto you ITUNES Music folder and drag to the library and it will add you music back in, including your PODCASTS.
    All you need to do is click the RESUBSCRIBE button and you are back in business!
    IF this fails, which i cant DUPLICATE anymore, try this
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300248
    Its the DREADED IPOD FORMAT article.
    But you probably wont need it if you follow all these steps.
    Post back if this doesnt work and if it does, give me some credit;)

    Just as an fyi, to shorten this procedure instead of deleting the files i found out you and open the .itl files and delete all the lines in it so its an empty file.
    Then open itunes, and it will rebuild the database with the files from the .xml file.
    This saves you from having to rescan the songs..

    Does anyone know, how to fix  ' This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the applikcation vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." ?

    At what point in the process are you getting this message? Have you tried downloading a fresh copy of the iTunes setup file from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ?
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Any fix for 0xE8000003 error ??

    i've just installed iOS 7.0.6 on my iPhone 4 and iTunes won't recognize it anymore, i keep having the 0xE8000003 error whenever i plug my device ... please help it started to get in my nerves

    I came across this post while trying to troubleshoot this error myself.
    This was a really stupid fix for me - I expected more from Apple but it may help others.
    In the course of building a new computer (PC), I connected my phone, drivers loaded, iTunes opened and I received a message to follow the instructions on my phone. Problem was the nothing happened - phone didn't wake up, nothing on screen not even a flash.  Then I received the cryptic message & started my research
    WELL...had I just clicked my phone to wake it, I would have seem the "trust this computer" message...What A DUH! moment. Click yes & voila...iTunes now recognizes my phone!

  • Fix for General Error (34) on export

    Hi everybody.
    I've noticed a lot of people getting many different General Error (34) errors, and I just wanted to post a fix for the one I ran into.
    When I tried to export from my sequence I got the error.
    I found out, that it was because my In-Point was placed outside of the sequence footage (at the end of the sequence), and that was what caused the error.
    Hope this helps out some people.

    Thanks!!!
    I did it and works perfect

    I don't normally advocate users re-install Office to fix an issue but in your case I think it's worth a try. The Mavericks update seems to have fixed the issue for most users. I would suggest the complete removal rather than the simple removal of dragging the Office folder in Applications to the trash.
