Help needing to install os x 10.6

hi i own a macbook pro 15 inch its a year old it has 2 gb an intel processor and a fujitsu 120 gb hard drive i currently have no OS on it i did have OS X 10.5.7 but due to my sisters friend its gone, i just bought 10.6 from best buy and inserted it into the laptop but the screen stayed blank then after couple of minutes a grey folder started to blink on and off, i tried turning it off and pressing c as soon as i turn it back on but that dosent work either can someone please help me get it going before she leaves back to school

If you didn't get a chance to install anything, it sounds like there is a problem with the DVD and/or the drive trying to read it.
Do you have another computer to try to read that DVD with...? Can you return to where you made the purchase and ask for help from the staff there?

  • Help needed in installing bi linux - Admin tool

    Hello,
    I downloaded the OBIEE latest version from oracle site for linux.
    Then I downlaoded the Client tool for OBIEE 11.1.1.1.5 and installed in windows now its asking for configuring the DSN
    While confidguring its asking me the server and then BI server un and pwd i gave the DEV_BIPLATFORM and the pwd and the port
    But showing me errors like could not connect to that port in the server machine and timeout.2 erros its showing me.
    nQSError ->12017
    nQSError ->12008
    In the same windows machine i have previously installed OBIEE 11.1.3 and i used OCI 10/11g so there was no configuration of DSN there for the admin tool.
    I hope there is no issue with this OBIEE 11.1.3 installed.
    Since i had already installed bi i have 2 oracle bi server option while adding a new DSN
    one is Oracle BI Server1
    and other is Oracle Bi Server 11g_123344
    I selected the second one to create the system dsn for the client tool for the linux one.
    Could anyone pls tell the steps which i need to follow.
    What i need to do to overcome those errors and then After configuration what need to be done.
    I am bit confused on all these.
    Is this like everytime we create a rpd we need to manually copy the rpd to the linux machine.
    and then restart the services.
    because since i installed bi in linux machine i am able to acces the Bi and i can see the default dashboard and can play with it.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I suppose you need too change the port to 9703 or 9810.Configure the DSN properly to the correct server.
    What i need to do to overcome those errors and then After configuration what need to be doneAfter configuring you need to open your repository in online mode to work on it.
    Is this like everytime we create a rpd we need to manually copy the rpd to the linux machine.
    and then restart the servicesYes you need to move the RPD if changes dont to the linux server i.e. you can copy and paste it and start the services.
    UPDATED POST
    Now a repository should be stored in linux machine BI folder
    or should be in Client machine repository folder
    Since we need to upload the rpd file first time to the bi server from the em i feel it should be client machine.You work on admin tool of windows and then the repository is moved to linux machine BI folder so as the users using it would access the linux presentation services so they can see what is in the latest RPD.You can move files by PUTTY tool by executing linux commands
    Installation :- http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2008/08/26/obiee-step-by-step-installation/
    Unix installation(Urgent)

  • Help needed in installing orale application 11.5.10 on Linux

    Hi
    i am getting some problems.
    I have dump of entire oracle applications software in my hard disk. I doesn't have DVD's. And i think i doesn't need to run perl script before installing appliations. When i install oracle applications from hard disk .. it gives me a successful installation . But later i am unable to connect to database or and linux is unable to recognize the sql command or envionment variables are not working. I am trying to install on stand alone machine. Please help me out/???
    thanks in advance.

    I create soft links via ln -s to the environment scripts:
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 43 2005-02-10 20:29 vis9.env -> /lv03/oracle/vis9db/9.2.0/vis9_socrates.env
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 applmgr appl 33 2005-02-10 20:27 vis9.env -> /lv03/oracle/vis9appl/APPSORA.env
    So in oracle user home directory, I type ln -s /lv03/oracle/vis9db/9.2.0/vis9_socrates.env vis9.env
    Then just type . vis9.env to take on the database environment as the oracle user.
    In the applmgr home directory, I type ln -s /lv03/oracle/vis9appl/APPSORA.env vis9.env
    Then just type . vis9.env as applmgr, to assume the applications environment. You will need to be in this environment to start/stop the applications.
    cd to $OAD_TOP/admin/scripts/*
    to stop:
    ./adstpall.sh apps/apps
    to start:
    ./adstrtal.sh apps/apps

  • Help needed after installing Security Update 2008-008

    Had the same problem everyone else has had. I got it back up and running using the Archive & Install procedure. Once I log in I get this error message:
    "Application Transport Monitor could not be launched because of shared library error. "8<Transport Monitor><Transport Monitor><HotSyncLib.PPC>"
    What do i need to do for this (reinstall a clean install of OS?)
    Most of my programs work except for Itunes & Netbarrier Firewall.
    Do I need to reinstall these programs.
    Thanks for any help.
    Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to Everyone.

    Hi Marty, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    "Verify/Repair the HDD the Repair the Permissions." What's that?
    It's important to Verify or Repair the Disk before you repair Permissions...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
    May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
    If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

  • Help needed to install Flash Player : 'Non-Current Release' problem!

    I been encountering problems while trying to install Flash Player on my laptop running Windows 7.
    Originally Flash Player does not work as I understand it is not supported on 64-bit Internet Explorer.
    After installing 32-bit IE, the following issue of 'non-latest version' arises and all installation were aborted by the application :
    The below were steps I had taken to no success.
    1.  Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded flash player un-install program and did the uninstallation with success.
    2.  Rebooted the laptop.
    3.  Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded the flash player version 10.0.45.2 from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
    4.  After downloading it automatically did the installation with 100% completion.
    5. The program proceeded to activate the flash player with a webpage saying if the flash player is working properly, I should see a video and Flash Player's logo.
    6.  Before anything was displayed, an error message popped up to say I was trying to install a non-current version and that I should go to same webpage to download the latest version. The activation was then aborted.
    Tried many times but always encountered same problem and hence cannot proceed to use the flash player.
    Need assistance to diagnose the problem and to get Flash Player working on my laptop. Appreciate any help to get it working.
    Regards.

    Thanks to efforts of eidnolb and Bob, the installation of flash player into my laptop is now working .
    Bob's installer enabled the download successfully.
    Eidnolb's link in post 6 trigggered me that I may have previously installed the pre-release version 10.1, thereby leading to the 'non-current-version' problem too. Post in that link adviced to uninstall 10.1 using the pre-release uninstaller.
    I suggest others who had encountered this non-current release to uninstall first using that specific uninstaller, before attempting to install the most current release. I may have installed the 10.1 pre-release in desperation after failing numerous times trying to figure out why flash player does not install in browser not knowing its currently-non-support of 64-bit browser.
    Once again thanks for support, eidnolb and Bob.
    Cheers.

  • Help needed to install Classic

    I just bought a iMac G3 for my daughter. It came with OS 10.3 but I need to run programs for her that are only compatible to up to OS 9 or OS X Classic. The seller gave me a OS 9.1 disc to install OS 9.1. I did this in 10.3 setting and it says it's installed, but when Classic starts, it prompts a message that says something to the effect that it cannot start classic because the disc is read-only. I started the computer using the OS 9 CD out of the CD player and started the installer, but when it gets to the step to select the designation, the drop down menu shows nothing so I cannot install it. I called the seller and he's not returning calls. Am I totally out of luck? Can anyone help me to get this working? Thanks!

    Hi, newton520, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Your inability to select the iMac's internal hard drive as the destination disk for an OS 9.1 installation probably arises because when OS X was installed, the drive was erased and OS 9 disk drivers were not reinstalled afterward, as one of the selectable options in installing OS X.
    Start up in OS X and choose "About this Mac" from the Apple menu. Click "More Info" in the Info window to open System Profiler. In System Profiler, click "ATA" under the "Hardware" heading in the left pane. The right pane will display information about your hard drive and optical drive. What is shown next to "OS 9 Drivers" under your hard drive: Yes or No?

  • Help Needed to Install Photoshop CS6

    Company bought product in 2012 and never installed.  I opened the sealed package this morning and tried to install.  It asks for a serial number.  The only number I have is on the back of the box, it is 3 letters/3letters and then 8 digits.  The serial number field for install will not take the letters and not enough fields for numbers.  I thought it may be a redemption code but it is not recognized either.  I have the receipt for this product and I need some help.  It is very difficult to get support.  Chat says it is not active and I cannot find any phone numbers.  Please help!

    Actually, try this:
    Contact Customer Care
    Here's the phone number:
    800-833-6687
    I called and they were able to fix an issue I was having with entire menu selections disappearing.
    I allowed them to remote into my computer and they found a corrupt file called "sniffer", whatever that is.
    Hope this helps. Good luck.

  • Help needed in installing Photoshop Elements 10

    Hi, I purchased a dual pack Photoshop Elements 10/Premiere 10 quite some time ago and have been using them both on my 64-bit Windows 7desktop.  I have tried on several occasions in recent months, lastly today, to install them on my Windows 7 32-bit Laptop too, but I can't manage to do it.  i wonder if anyone can help me please?
    I have loaded Disc 1, entered my serial number and after several minutes it appeared to complete installation and asked me to reboot Windows.  When i do that there is no mention of it in Programs, it doesnt return to the CD, perhaps to complete installtion and if I reload the disc and click on Install it just repeats the whole process.
    My understanding is that I have two licenses and so I cant see why it wont load. 
    Thanks.  Kelv

  • Help needed by installing wireless to an Tecra 8000

    I have just bought the wife an old tecra 8000 laptop and would like to run wifi on it, I bought a d-link router and a d-link usb adapter but it said I needed a hi-speed usb, and it wouldn,t pick up the router, would a pcmia card work better, also can anybody suggest a modem/router and card that works on it,any help is much appreciated....

    Hi
    The Tecra 8000 supports only the USB 1.1 standard.
    The high speed USB ports are 2.0
    Many USB devices are designed only for the USB 2.0 and I assume your USB WLan adapter supports also only the 2.0 standard.
    The PCMCIA should work better. There is no standard limitation like on the USB ports.
