I am stuck installing OS X Yosemite.. Need Help!!!

It says the installer failed.. Need help

Do you still have the installer? It will be in the Applications folder. If you do then before proceeding make a copy of it in your Downloads folder. Once the installer finishes, it will delete itself from the Applications folder. Making a copy will prevent having to re-download it.
Please tell me what version of OS X is currently installed on your computer. Are you still able to boot your computer? Exactly what computer model do you have?

Adobe reader updater is ready to install but won't -- need help

adobe reader updater is ready to install but gets stuck on step 2 -- need help

It's OK. I finally got Reader XI installed. But once installed, the program would then lock up and show an error message whenever I tried to open any of my existing PDF docs. So I finally just gave up and deleted Reader XI from my system. Fortunately, my existing version of Reader seems to work just fine. Maybe I'll try again later after Adobe has worked out the kinks with Reader XI. But thanks anyway for responding--no further help needed now. I'm out.

Ipod touch (2G) stuck in "restore" mode. Need HELP please

I have contacted Apple support several times since Friday and was just hung up on by an extremely rude lady in customer support. I am really frustrated and just trying to get my 5 yr old little boys ipod touch working again.
The situation is that our son's old computer crashed. So we have a newer computer set up for him. Reinstalled itunes on it. Called Apple on Friday, really nice rep gave me several instructions for transfering purchases, making sure everything was up to date and turning home sharing on. Did all that, got off the phone with him and then the computer tells me that the ipod needs and update.
Clicked ok, and update starts going for a few minutes.....then get an error message that says that the ipod is basically stuck in "restore" mode and needs to be reset to factory settings. It won't let me do anything to the ipod. It won't restore, reset, anything. Just shows a picture of usb cable and says to connect to itunes.
Connect to itunes and it keeps giving me say error message.
Will someone please help me? Apple support sure won't.

Did you try to connect in recovery mode, to start the restore process again? Connecting in Recovery mode is explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Also delete the ipod ipsw firmware file on your computer, to make iTunes download a new copy to restore from. Depending on your OS, this file can be found here:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
Vista and 7: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
If you're getting error numbers, take a look at this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275

Installing Quicktime...need help

How do i install quicktime 7 pro for my windows XP? the directions that i got from apple don't make sense to me. i need help asap.

Once you've downloaded and installed QuickTime 7 you only need to enter your registration information exactly as it is in the confirmation email in the QuickTime Registration fields.
Nothing else to download or install. It's best to use copy/paste from the email to the registration.

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

What's the best way to (re)install Logic Studio? Need Help.

I bought Logic Studio a few months ago and installed it on my new MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz with 2G Ram, 160G hard drive @ 7200 rpm. Being new to Logic, at install, I just put all 40+ gigs of content on the computer. After a while I considered putting the Apple Loops (roughly 12gigs) onto an external hard drive to save space on my computer, just to see if it would work, then consider moving more content over later. After doing this the Logic application couldn't find the Apple Loops, and I couldn't find a way to help it see the new path, so my Apple Loops were essentially rendered useless (since I had already deleted them from the computer). So I stopped right there, and haven't done anything else. Just worked with Logic without using Loops, which I have to say is still an incredible program.
What also seemed strange was this: In moving the Apple Loops, the available disk space on the computer didn't seem to change much. It went down a few gigs, but not the 12 or so I was expecting. Not sure why that is. It seems like Logic and all the content is actually taking up around 50 gigs or so on my computer (and the Apple Loops are supposedly gone or not available). What is that about?
Feeling like I had really fouled things up, I called Apple Care. They said that the content of Logic is stored in many places in the computer's libraries and system folders, but it was really confusing trying to locate all of it, because the info they sent was from Logic 7 and older versions of GarageBand. I guess Logic 8 is too new for them to have anything on it. There is no uninstall for Logic Studio. But they strongly recommended that I perform an Erase and Install, and then re-install all my software including Logic, and then assign the hard drive I wanted the content in. That would open up a lot of the computer's hard drive space, they said. It seemed like an extreme measure to take for such a small blunder, and I haven't tried it yet, but will if it's the best option.
If I do this, is running Logic content (i.e. Loops, Impulse Responses, Jam Packs, etc.) from an external hard drive (and the one I have to use is 5400rpm--is that too slow or am I getting too picky?) the best way to go, or should I have all Logic material coming from the same machine? How do I get some of my hard drive space back?
Ugh.
Has anyone out there experienced this too? Is there anything documented about where the content is stored for Logic Studio? Is Erase and Install really the best thing to do in this situation?
So many questions...
Thanks.

Hey Blue,
Let me see if I can help you a bit.
Logic Studio has 28+ gb of loops. Almost 23 for STP and 6 for the Jam Packs, etc. They should be located in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple (that's the default install loc.). Copy them to an external drive and then delete them from your main drive. Go to /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Indexes and delete those text files. Now go to /Library/Preferences/Soundtrack Pro and delete those text files, too (more Loop Indexes).
Now open Logic Pro and it will say 'No Apple Loops found'. Click 'OK' and then open your Loop Browser. Drag all the Jam Pack folders, STP folder, etc. that you want to use onto the Loop Browser. Logic will ask you if you want to 'Copy to Loops Folder' or 'Current Location'. Choose 'Current Location'. Logic will now index the loop folders.
NOTE: You can change the names of the folders to suit your liking. For example: I added the 2, 3, 4, 5 after the Jam Pack names to make it look smoother on the popup menu and changed iLife Sound Effects to Sound Effects - iLife and Apple Loops for STP to STP. Now the Jam Packs 1-5 come up first on the popup menu and the FX stay at the bottom. I likee!!
Now, if you like you can take your EXS Factory Samples and Ultrabeat Samples, 3.35 & .889 gb respectively, and copy them to an external drive. I have mine in the same place as my Jam Packs, etc. You can find these files in /Library/Application Support/Logic. Toss out the originals and put ALIASES from the external drive back into the /Lib/App Sup/Logic folder.
Also, if you open STP and click the Search tab in the right pane you will see a button that says 'Setup' next to it. Click that and you can use the checkboxes in the window to activate/deactivate any of the loop folders available.
A clean install is the best IMO if you have a little time because a) you DO NOT have to install GB at all (that saves the .aif file size - Logic Studio uses .caf files at half the size of the originals) b) Logic Studio will install the extra GB or Logic 7 content if you need it at it's reduced size. It will basically get rid of all the old clutter that you do not need. Only install what JP's you want and move the bigger stuff to an external.
Rock up Logic and it should all be in place. That procedure saved me 32.5 gb on my main drive.
NOTE #2: You have another 12 gb (if you installed all Jam Packs) that reside in the /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler. These are the Jam Pack Instruments & Sampler files for World, Symphony, etc. They cannot be moved from the startup HD (as far as I can tell). So keep that in mind if you don't want a certain JP.
Hope that helps,
Dave

Installing Windows Xp Pro NEED HELP!!

I have a lenovo 3000 n200 0769 and it has no OS and the hdd is completely clean (it is ntfs formatted). When attempting to install windows xp pro the cd won't self boot (the drive is functioning properly as far as i know). Additionally, i get to the phoenix screen and it remains there. if im not quick to press the lenovo care button the notebook wont respond to anything. It does give me the options of pressing esc to resume normal startup, F1 to enter bios setup, F11 to diagnose hardware or recover system (which i have tried with the cd inserted but it only takes me to a black screen) and F12 to choose a temp startup device (which also takes me to a black screen) I am able to access the bios setup once the screen turns on by pressing esc then F1 if that helps anyone in aiding my efforts but other then that i can't do anything with the notebook. Could it be something wrong with the bios?
Message Edited by Twizz08 on 08-13-2008 03:05 PM

Hi !
On boot, press F1 just when the Lenovo logo shows. Navigate to the BIOS boot options and set the system to boot first on the CD device.
Save and exit BIOS. The system should boot on the CD.
If not check either the disk drive (faulty or not ? ) Bios passwd, try to have a USB stick (bootable with some software into it ) and try to boot from it (using F12) .
If nothing works, It may be the mainboard or something like that faulty....
I use a 0769 laptop with vista wiped out for Windows XP so it is feasible. (difficult as the disk is SATA and not IDE so you need a tweaked Win xp install CD)

Problems installing CS5.5 ~ Really need help.. Thank you.

Operating system = WinXP
Trying to install purchased CS5.5 Web Premium on completely clean machine recently reformatted.
Installing from files downloaded from Adobe.
I did a successful install of this last summer, but this time it's been a real pain.
I am completely lost on what is wrong and I have customers waiting for web page fixes.
1. I bought the CS5.5 Web Premium upgrade last summer. I had 4.0 on my system at the time. No problem installing 5.5.
2. Yesterday I wiped my hard drive clean and now need to reinstall CS5.5. I do not have CS4.0 on my machine now.
3. I downloaded my CS5.5 files from Adobe today.
4. The installation instructions said:
"Navigate to the directory containing the downloaded files.... Double-click the Set-up.exe file to begin the installation. In some cases, the Set-up.exe file may open
automatically."
Today, that magic did NOT happen. Nor had it happened last summer.
So I tried to install the files anyhow.
5. On my previous install I opened files individually when the magic didn't happen and it still went okay. But not today.
Today I started with WebPremium_DesignPremium_CS5_5_Content_ALL.exe file. Can someone tell me if opening that file first was a mistake? And if so, what file should I have opened first?
It opened but I can see nothing in my program files. So I tried the three other files with no success... Here are the error messages:
WebPremium_DesignPremium_CS5_5_Content_ALL.exe - - - Which I already opened. No files can be found on my computer, but they must be there.
WebPremium_CS5_5_LS1.exe - - - I get an error message that says it is not a valid Win32 application.
Illustrator_15_1_Content_LS1.exe - - - This acts like it will open and download fine. I did not do it pending why the other files aren't working.
WebPremium_CS5_5_LS1.7z - - - I try to open this and get an error message, "Windows cannot open the file..." and it wants to find it on the Internet.
This worked fine last summer. Can someone help me? Do I need to reformat my whole computer again?
You don't know how appreciated the answer would be. I would be most grateful. Thanks!!!
BLee

WebPremium_DesignPremium_CS5_5_Content_ALL.exe - - - Which I already opened. No files can be found on my computer, but they must be there.
Probably not. That really is just the additional content and without a qualifying product install it won't do anything most likely since the directories it expects do not yet exist.
WebPremium_CS5_5_LS1.exe - - - I get an error message that says it is not a valid Win32 application.
Could be damaged, could be blocked. Anything from virus scanners to flakey drives. Could also be missing a critical system library. No way to tell from afar.
WebPremium_CS5_5_LS1.7z - - - I try to open this and get an error message, "Windows cannot open the file..." and it wants to find it on the Internet.

Elements/Premiere 12 PC stopped working after trial version of Lightroom CC was installed / and uninstalled - I need help deactivating prior to rebuilding

Dear forum
After I installed a 90 trial version of Lightroom CC. I had an issue with it so uninstalled it, since then I have had Error dialog pop up after Win7 x64 Ultimate startup; and also every session, with Photoshop elements / premier 12,
I constantly get dynamiclinkmanager has stopped working.
ElementsAutoanalzer has stopped working,
and Adobe premier Elements 12 has stopped working
I'm fed up trying to resolve this issue which I believe was down to Lightroom CC installation, so I now want to upgrade from W7 Ult x64 to Win 8.1 x64 and reinstall all my apps.
However I need to deactivate Elements 12 / Premiere 12 on this PC before I rebuild / upgrade, but cannot, Premiere 12 does not load at all, and while Elements 12 loads, there is no option to deactivate the licence on this PC
This is my 2nd PC, I have Elements / premiere 12 also on my w8.1 laptop, which is fully working, so I don't want to touch that. I never tried Lightroom CC on my laptop.
Any ideas as to how to deactivate, I tried Adobe Sign in, but there is no option or link to email or call them, the support flowchart directs me here only.
Any help much appreciated, or even a contact Phone no for Adobe in UK
TIA
Ken

As the crash report says - your outdated video card driver is crashing. You need to update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website (AMD/ATI in this case).

I have EMS 3.5 installed and functioning. Need help with where to go next!

Hello All,
I am brand new to this and need a very basic push in the right direction.
I have FMS 3.5 installed on my server and I am ready to begin testing with it.
My website has a page with descriptions of videos and links to those videos.
When a link is selected, I want a new page to open and the video to play in the FMS player.
I have absolutely no idea how to go about this. I need some meaty information here. I read tom Green's tutorials, and although I found that they were informative, they are also quite general.
I have Flash Professional CS4 and I just need to know what the heck to do next.
Any and all help will be supremely appreciated.
Sincerely,
wordman

Gentlemen,
Thank you for the answers, I will definitely look into what you both suggested.
My next step is getting a player into a separate page that plays selected videos through RTMP.
The player that comes with FMS would be fine, but I do not know how to alter it, change colors, etc.
Then I was looking into Real Eyes' REOPS player, and the white papers alone stopped me in my tracks. I realize it's probably easy, but now ehrn you are a novice, to understand it.
Then I saw Adobe Strobe, the OSMF-based player and thought that might be good for me.
The biggest problem I see is that Adobe's resources are not always easy to find on this website, same goes fo rthe OSMF site. Not very well structured sites for a software company.
Bottom line is, I need to get a player on a page that plays though RTMP. Any thoughts there? I'm completely new to Flash.
Thank you all!!!
Sincerely,
wordman
