HELP! eMac not accepting Tiger upgrade 'hang installation'

OK, I'm not a techhead but I'm learning! I'm getting a "panic" and "missing driver" msg when trying to boot Tiger disk on my eMac which currently is running Panther 3.9. It's freezing and displaying a 'hang installation'. There's something? I need, a driver? or perhaps something I need to clear or reset in Panther. The eMac is compatible, it's in the software. If anyone can help me out here I would appreciate it.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you using a retail Tiger install disc which looks like
That does not say Drop-in, update, or upgrade on it?
If not, then you are using the wrong disc, and that disc can't be used on an eMac.

  • Problems with PS CS4 not accepting CS3 upgrade serial number

    I have recently purchased PS CS4 upgrade and I am having a problem installing on a new machine.  My CS3 serial number is not accepted.  Where can I find my original CS3 serial number?

    1 - on the sticker on the disc case
    2 - in your account at Adobe (if you registered)
    3 - by calling Adobe (this is a user group, not Adobe support)

  • My serial number is not accepted when upgrading

    Came into this late. I am trying install the CS6 upgrade we were offered when we bought CS 5.5. Now the 5.5 I am upgrading was on an upsell path from CS2. My problem is it will not accept the same serial I used to upgrade to 5.5 - do I have to uninstall 5.5 for 6 to work with the purchased 5.5 key?

    Branching this to a separate discussion.
    Mombo are you trying to install CS6?  If so then you should be able to enter your CS5.5 as a qualifying previous version.  You will want to first enter your CS6 serial number before entering the CS5.5 serial number.

  • Mozilla Help Will Not accept 2nd login account

    does Bugzilla require a separate account. When to try my second account and it claimed there was no such account.

    That answers the Bugzilla part of the question. But it still doesn't answer the question why I have to have a second account here (different name, password and e-mail address) because when Mozilla sent a notice to reset the password on the first account, the new password was not accepted and "error" messages came up indicating there was already an account with the account name and e-mail.

  • HELP: Intel iMac does not accept Tiger install DVD

    A friend bought a used intel imac w/o any of the restore discs. He bought Tiger and wiped the hard drive but the computer will not start up from the Tiger disc when holding down C. How can we install Tiger onto this computer? Any ideas?
    Thanks!!

    An intel Mac will only boot from the installer disk that came with it. It's an intel Tiger installer disk. You can't use a ppc Tiger installer disk. So, he needs to get the disks that came originally with the Mac. Or, wait for Leopard.

  • Help does not launch after upgrading from RH5 to RH7

    My problem is similar to CaroMe1's. Topics within chm files
    created using RH5 and integrated into our software product launch
    correctly when a Help button is clicked on a dialog. After
    upgrading to RH7, using the the same project files, chm files
    created using RH7 do not launch at all; that is, nothing happens
    when a Help button is clicked on any dialog.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    The .chm filename and the .xpj filename are the same.
    Sorry if I was swerving and incoherent! I probably shouldn't
    have posted after traveling and no sleep!
    Here is how I tested for the source of this problem:
    1. I created a .chm file using RH 5, integrated it into our
    product, clicked on the Help button on any of our dialogs, and the
    appropriate Help topic displayed.
    2. I created a .chm file using RH 7 (using the exact same
    project files as in the previous step), integrated it into our
    product, clicked on the Help button on any of our dialogs, and
    nothing happened. No topic, no Help. Nothing.
    Is that a better description of the problem? (I hope)
    Thanks again!

  • Node.js: running "npm help term " not working since upgrade to 0.8.3

    Running
    npm help <command>
    usually displays npm's man page on <command>. And if the the command doesn't exist, npm will show a "top hits" list of related commands.
    But since upgrading to 0.8.3, running it will always show the "top hits" list, even for existing commands.
    After digging around I found that the problem is the man files that npm uses in /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/man are gzipped (with filenames like install.1.gz) which breaks npm since npm is expecting ungizipped filenames.
    After further digging, it seems that the gzipping of npm's man pages was only added in node 0.8.2-2
    So, basically just checking if anyone has this same problem (and confirming it's not a problem with upstream) before submitting it to bugs.archlinux.org

    The man command should handle gzipped or non-zipped man pages just fine.  I'm not sure if there is an official standard, but packages are free to use gz'ed or non-zipped man pages - they both work just fine.  If it's not an official standard recommendation, though, gzipped man pages have become so common that they are almost a 'de facto' standard.  But package managers (at least pacman) do not gzip the man pages.  This is generally handled upstream or in the packages Makefile.
    But, more to the point for the present issue, while man can open either format of page, if you give a full path, you must include the extension.  Example:
    $pacman -Ql bash | grep man
    bash /usr/share/man/
    bash /usr/share/man/man1/
    bash /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz
    bash /usr/share/man/man1/bashbug.1.gz
    $ man bash #works
    $ man /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz #works
    $ man /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1
    man: /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1: No such file or directory
    No manual entry for /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1
    .... er ... I just installed this again and did some tinkering.  Most of what I've said is true (and perhaps someday useful) but currently irrelevant.  Npm does not use `man` at all.  It just echo's it's help information directly to the terminal.
    Perhaps the syntax has changed since the last version you used, but it seems to be doing just what it is supposed to:
    $ npm help
    Usage: npm <command>
    where <command> is one of:
    ... <snip> ...
    npm <cmd> -h quick help on <cmd>
    npm -l display full usage info
    npm faq commonly asked questions
    npm help <term> search for help on <term>
    npm help npm involved overview
    Specify configs in the ini-formatted file:
    /home/jmcclure/.npmrc
    or on the command line via: npm <command> --key value
    Config info can be viewed via: npm help config
    [email protected] /usr/lib/node_modules/npm
    $ npm help cache
    Top hits for "cache"
    npm help cache cache:23
    npm help config cache:20
    npm help folders cache:7
    npm help pack cache:2
    npm help index cache:2
    npm help changelog cache:1
    (run with -l or --long to see more context)
    $ npm cache -h
    npm cache add <tarball file>
    npm cache add <folder>
    npm cache add <tarball url>
    npm cache add <git url>
    npm cache add <name>@<version>
    npm cache ls [<path>]
    npm cache clean [<pkg>[@<version>]]
    Note in the first output it specifies that "npm help <term>" is only supposed to search for the term and return the top-listing list while "npm <command> -h" is the syntax to view the help information for a given command.

  • Help- windows not recognising Ipod shuffle first installation

    What do I do?
    I tried following the steps but it failed in the formatting. Now windows is not recognising it so I can restore it to factory settings.
    Can someone give me a step by step guide what to do. The help section is awful confusing and the chatt section is saying I bought by suffle in jan not yesterday.
    Currently i have it plug in with me in the net cafe and the light is green.

    Windows will not recognise my ipod shuffle, I have
    tried reinstalling it, when I try playing music it
    just clicks.
    I still have I Tunes, just cannot connect the Ipod to
    update. I have had it for four months, I am afraid
    it may be a fault with the ipod, any ideas? The pop
    up says windows does not recognise the USB device,
    try reconnecting it, or replace device ! Help would
    be appreciated please.
    Did you ever get an answer? My shuffle is not being recognized by windows either.

  • New iMac 24": 2.8Mhz Password not accepted after upgrade to Leopard

  • Cambridge advanced learners dictionary2 does not accept quicktime upgrades

    Dear sir,
    I have installed itunes 7 to synch my new ipod ,but the word pronunciating function of the dictionary stopped.
    The same problem occured with quicktime 6 in the past and in order to solve it I unistalled quicktime 6 and itunes and I reinstalled the dictionary which used quicktime 5 version.But unfortunately I was not able to synch my ipod any more. What would you suggest me to do? I sould also mention that I looked for updates in the Cambridge's Press site but there wasn't any. Is there a reliable dictionary that I can use it in mac Os if I buy a mac in future?
    I know that Cambridge does not have a mac version of CALD2.
    Thank you upfront,
    pantelis
    desktop pc   Windows XP Pro  

    Hello, Pantelis,
    If the publisher of the dictionary hasn't provided an update to their software to support more recent versions of QuickTime, then there's not much you can do. As you've discovered, the old version of QuickTime will not support your iPod. So it may come to a choice between your iPod and your dictionary software. If the developer's technical support cannot help, then you may want to consider another dictionary package. I found a list with reviews at this web site, so you may wish to investigate other dictionaries.
    Regards.

  • EMac not recognizing memory upgrade

    Hi,
    I recently ordered 512 MB RAM module for my mother's eMac (2004 or 2005 G4, 1,25 GHz, 256 MB of RAM). According to the online store I used here in Norway, the following would be compatible:
    Kingston - 512 MB - DIMM 184-pin - DDR - DDR SDRAM - 333 MHz ( PC2700 )
    My mother has now installed the module successfully, but the computer doesn't recognize it. I.e. the eMac works fine, but it thinks it only has 256 MB, according to the System profiler. Would this indicate that they sent us the wrong type of memory, or is there something we can do to get it "working"? Thanks.

    Take a look at this post from Allan Jones, then return the RAM and (unless the vendor to whom you return the RAM swears a mighty oath that this time they'll get a Mac-specific chip to you) order from a Mac-friendly online source like Crucial.

  • The upgrade hangs a lot of time in phase PARCONV_UPG, SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG2..

    Hello!!:
    I'm doing the CU&UC, as say the Guide, and now i'm upgrading my 46C MDMP system to Ecc6.0 nounicode (later i'm going to
    do the unicode).
    In the phases RUN_RADCUCNT_ALL, SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG2,....has been a lot of time.
    In the Note OSS 558197 - upgrade hangs in PARCONV_UPG, XPRAS_UPG, SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG2, there is a solution
    for a Oracle Database, but we have MSSQL2005 in a Windows Server.
    In this moment in our DB we have applied as say the Note OSS 187493 - DB13 jobs 'Check table Consistency'
    and 'Update statistics', and sometimes in the biggest tables we apply the Note OSS ‘771352 - Manual UPDATE STATISTICS
    re-enables Disabled Automatic Stats’
    Can you help us? In this moment the upgrade downtime is 48 hours (and we haven't yet done some phases of the
    upgrade)
    Thanks an regards,
    Alfredo.

    Alfredo,
      Here is the down and skinny on this - PARCONV_UPG can be addressed with ICNV (Incremental Table Conversion) which you can run during the 'Up' Time of the upgrade.  Of course there are some limitations put on you when using this solution but it will help to reduce your down-time windows be pre-converting tables during up-time.  Those tables that are not converted in ICNV will have to be converted during down-time during  the PARCONV_UPG phase so I am pretty sure that your database is getting its (stuff here....) handed to it.
      As a 'suggestion' and not a rule here (because it effects recovery of SQL Databases) you can look at using Bulk Logged or Simple Logged modes if your system is using Full-Logged mode to speed things up a bit (actually quite a bit if Full-Logged is enabled).
      As for the SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG2 - this is mostly going to be tp putting things in the system and some compiling - the speed of the Db and the processors play a big impact in this.  You can watch the SLOG in the upgrade directory to check this out (look in your upgrade guide for Log Files during this phase to get their names and locations) to see if anything is hanging but I would probably expect not much is going on.
      Overall you need to identify the bottleneck first - CPU, Memory, Db I/O, a number of things can contribute to your issues of slow upgrade time - as I would have to agree with SAP that there is nothing wrong with the Upgrade Process (except that you can take advantage of things like ICNV where possible - read the upgrade guide and hit the notes and help first!!).  Everything else is going to be your setup and how it reacts to the different activities in the upgrade.
      So check those out first - let us all know what you come up with and hopefully we can fix your problem directly and quickly.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
