You will probably have to reformat your new drive correctly. If you can still see the Utilities folder from the installer screen (I believe it remains visible at that point; if not, try backing out of the screens, or, as a last resort, reboot to the installer and, instead of going through the steps, use the Utilities menu as soon as you see it) run Disk Utility.
Choose your new drive in the left side, use the Erase tab to reformat as Mac Extended (Journaled). Once you click Apply, and quit DU, you should now see the drive available in the installer.

Itunes 8.0.1 won't install to the correct destination folder

After installing Itunes to the hard drive (I've tried this on both my laptop's hard drive as well as an external hard drive), the destination folder points to the CD Rom drive and won't let you change it.
Help?! I've tried installing three different times, both from the upgrade as well as from the direct website.

I've done that, and it still won't save to teh correct file. It disregards where I want the file saved, and saves it to the E drive, which is my cd rom drive. Then, of course, it won't save to the CD rom drive, becuase there's no memory there.

How to Copy SapBouicom.dll to destination folder

Hi,
I am using .net 2005 to create an installer for the addon. The probem is that sapbouicom.dll files are not getting copied to the destination folder.Only installer and addon exes are extracted to the destination folder. If the dll files are manually copied the addon works fine. Can anyone tell how can I copy the dlls to the destination folder?????
Thanks & Regards,
Priya

Hi Priya,
There is an option in the setup project that tells the installer to copy the file to the program directory. I don't know exactly where it is anymore, but I have used it in the past.

How do i see recovered photes the folder is empty even though on start up i said yes to recover, how do i see recovered photes the folder is empty even though on start up i said yes to recover

when i start up i photo it tells me to recover some pictures. when done the recovery folder is empty. How do I see pictures or delete them to stop doing on every time on start up.

Go to the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) and right click - Show package contents - find the folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop - do not make any other changes of any sort
close the iPhoto library and launch iPhoto - it will be fine
check to see if there are any photos yoou want in the import(ing) folder and if there are import them - then trash ithe import(ing) folder

How does installing programs work when user folder moved to separate drive?

Hi everyone
I have my user folder on a separate drive from my boot drive.
I have set up a new installation of OS X on a third drive and pointed the main account's user folder on that third drive to the user folder drive.
This means that the dock that shows up when I boot off that third drive contains aliases linking to programs on the ordinary boot drive.
If I install programs on the third drive and make aliases in the dock, will that cause a conflict when I boot off the ordinary boot drive?
And if I remove from the dock aliases linking to the ordinary boot drive, will they then disappear when booted off the ordinary boot drive?
Thanks for any insight.
/p

I tried that.
1) I created a standard user account called "Test."
2) While logged in as Test I edited the sidebar. Then I logged out and back in again to confirm that the settings were retained. They were.
3) While logged in as Test I copied the user folder from SystemDisk/Users/Test to DataDisk/Users/Test.
4) I logged out of Test and logged in as Admin.
5) I changed the home directory for the Test account to /Volumes/DataDisk/Users/Test.
6) I deleted the directory at SystemDisk/Users/Test.
7) I logged out of Admin and logged in as Test.
8) I edited the sidebar. Then I logged out and back in again to see if the settings were retained. They were not.
9) I repeated steps 3-7, this time moving the home directory back to its original location at SystemDisk/Users/Test.
10) Again I edited the sidebar, logged out and logged back in again. This time the settings were retained, just as they had been before I moved the directory in the first place.
Since the functionality returns when I move the home directory back to the system disk, I've concluded that it is not due to any corruption of library files or such. It seems to be a problem with the location of home directory.
V.K., in your configuration, is the account with the moved home directory an Admin account or a Standard account? I have not tested this with an admin account and I suppose that might make a difference.

How to install cisco prime 2.1 on a empty HP server

Hi all,
i want to install cisco prime 2.1 using the physical appliance ISO File on a new empty HP Server, because we have no vmware environment.
After booting from the ISO File I receive the error "connot find kickstart file on cdrom". Because of this I am not able to install the software.
I have loaded the ISO image two times from cisco, so im pretty shure that the images is not broken.
Any Idea?
Thanks!

If you have control of an HP Server, why don't you load VMware into the server? PI requires VMware and can't be loaded onto a "bare metal" frame.

I am using Mandriva Linux now and I have installed Firefox 6 but I could not install Java plugin with it. Can anyone please help me how to install it?

I am using Mandriva Linux now.
But I am using Firefox 3.6.8, but I cannot install java plugin in it.
Can anyone please help me how to install it?

The plugins folder in the Firefox installation folder doesn't exist by default. There is no default plugin in Firefox 4, so that folder would be empty and in thus not included. If you want to use that location then you need to create a plugins folder.
Did you try /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program.

I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and upgraded the memory and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program. I can see the hard drive in the disk utilities window however it wont let me do anything.
It is a seagate 1TB SATA II drive however it is displaying it as a 7.3 TB.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
I have tried to erase and partition and get the same error message each time, 'Input/Output error'.
I have tried starting the thing with the install disk which is Mac OS X (Tiger?) which came with the computer. No good.
Anyone?

Thats correct. I can see it in the list however when I attempt to erase it or partition it it's like it's not being found or recognised and it throws up the input/output error message. I am pretty sure that the sensor it attached correctly and it is a SATA drive. I can see all the infor regarding the drive when disk utility is open and it all looks good but I cant access it or do anything with it. It's taunting me!
The install disk is in the drive and the install program runs right up to the point where you have to select the location for the install and there is just nothing in the box where you have to select the hard drive icon.
I have my suspiscions about the drive but any help would be appreciated.

How to install packages from local folder

Hi all,
I have downloaded all arch linux packages from the following URLs:
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/core/os/i686/
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/extra/os/i686/
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/community/os/i686/
and then have saved them to an external hard disk. Then I have attached that external hard disk to my system and packages are available in following folders:
/mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Core-OS/
/mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-1/
/mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-2/
/mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Community-OS-1/
/mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Community-OS-2/
/mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Community-OS-3/
Now I want to install some or all packages from these folder with the help of pacman command. I am seeing that package corresponding to wvdial command is available in the /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-1/ folder. But how to use pacman command so that I can install wvdial package from that folder?
In addition to this if I want to install ALL Extra Packages available in the folders /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-1/ and /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-2/ then how to execute the pacman command?
Please send me step by step instructions so that I shall be able to install some or all downloaded packages.
I shall remain thankful for this forever.

Hi fukawi2,
Thanks for reply and searching for my username on google. It is true that I am a freelance s/w developer but I am not installing Arch Linux for any client. I am installing it due to some other reasons. In fact I started working on Red Hat and then on Fedora when I was a student of bachelor degree course in computer applications. Then later I searched open suse and started using it. I am using open suse from its 10.1 version. However the recent version of this distribution has become much resource consuming. So I am in the need of a light weight linux distribution. And I encountered Arch Linux. Then I purchased its installation disk from an online shop and installed it on my system. But only text mode is working at this moment. Since I want to use X window and so I started to follow the syntax of pacman command. But it is connecting to internet. Since my internet connection is slow (average speed of 10kbps) and so I requested the same online shop to download all packages from Arch Linux repository and send them to me. Therefore now I am having all those packages in my local external hard disk drive in the folder mentioned in my first post. Now I want to install packages from these folder. And so in order to get help I have come to this forum.
I have also followed the steps given on the pages https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … l_commands and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … repository. But when I am trying to install a particular package using the following command:
pacman -U wvdial
then it is asking for a dependency. I know that the dependent package in my local folder but why it is not being automatically taken by pacman command? Can you please explain it.
That is why I am asking help only for customization and usages of pacman in order to install packages from local folder. But each member in this forum is only referring to long written manuals and not giving me exact solution which I think will involve four/five steps.
Best Regards ...
