I could use some upgrade install help.
Hello Everyone.
MacPro
10.6.5
I have been running the FCPro Studio 2 and just recently bought the upgrade to FCPro Studio3. I've never done this before and have a nice 3 week break coming up.
Before I started to install I hopped online and read up on installing the upgrade. I saw a lot of people talking about cloning my HDD to an external HDD. Wiping my drive clean and then installing FCPro Studio 3. Seems like a lot of work but I'm game for it.
I was hoping to get some questions answered before I start. Also, I would love a detailed step by step tutorial if anyone has a link. I found one but it was upgrading from FC Pro 3 to 4... just a bit out of date.
#1. I saw to clone my entire HDD to an external HDD using something called Carbon Copy Clone. OK I can do that.
#2. Reinstall Snow Leopard... Ok I can do that. That will wipe out my HDD.
#3. Install Final Cut studio... How does that work as the upgrade installer will not be able to detect my previous serial number and version of FCPro?
#4. What happens to all my 3rd party plug-ins, garage band loops and hotkeys? I have to reinstall I'm guessing..? I only have a few... ok
#5. I now have a nice and clean system running only FCPro Studio... ok... but what about my Adobe Creative Suite, Maya, my financial software, and all my other programs? I have to install them ALL again?
#6. How do I get all my files back from the clone. All my personal files all my photos, music and etc... I'm not very comfortable wiping out my internal HDD just to reinstall FCSPro.
#7... This is turning into a lot of work.
Thanks
Drew
#1 This is a safety fallback as well as the easy way to save all your documents files etc etc
2.Right. Install the OS, then upgrade it as far as it can go. Repair permissions and restart
3. When you install Studio, it will ask for your serial number, then ask for your old serial number. Have it handy.
4. Your third party plug ins will be on the cloned drive. Drag them over.
5. Dunno about the adobe stuff and Maya-- you might check their sites and see if they recommend migration or a clean install. SAFEST bet is to re-install from scratch.
6. Your clone will show up as another drive on your desktop. Just move your files from one drive to another.
7. I just did this-- it's about a day and a half/two days to get up and rolling. You'll be very happy you did it. It'll feel like a brand new machine.
Once Studio is installed, update it but BEWARE of something called prokit 6.01 update. It is purported to break some functionality for some users, but not others. Mine is a new machine, but I didn't install it. you can search the forum for things like prokit 6.01 Broke my final cut!!! And make up your own mind.
Once you get it all installed and running smoothly, clone your new installation to the old drive and keep it handy-- you NEVER KNOW.

I have two macs, i was able to install mavericks on my 17", i can't do it with my 13" MacAir, I get a drop down box after i login, I could use some help. The drop down box says, unknown error, George
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Pages for the iPad and Pages for a Mac are completely different, so you have to purchase them twice, one for the iPad and another one for the Mac. The only advantage is that, if you buy another iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, you will be able to install Pages for free on all of them.
As you are running Mac OS X 10.6.8 on the MacBook, you can't purchase Pages from the App Store, so you have to buy iWork '09 on a DVD on Amazon or eBay in order to install it -

You can not run snow leopard on non intel macs. You have a g4. Ip4 requires leopard 10.5 not snow leopard so return it. You should not need more RAM how much does your machine have? -
powerpoint presentation I have stored in icloud until recently were syncing to Keynote on my iPad with no problem. Now when I open Keynote on my iPad there is nothing. I could use some help with this problem.
Morning AndreD86,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
These articles explain exactly what is backed up by using their method.
iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
and
iCloud: Backup and restore overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859
Also we want to double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar to the right.
Then make sure the button on the far left of Task Bar is not muted.
Best of luck,

Could use some help on positioning images
With help here, I'm making my way through ID novice to ID "dangerous". I sorta get layout and sorta get styling and now could use some help with sizing and positioning images.
The test is a 3-column newspaper that I let ID size when the document was created. All the text frames are linked. I now want to put some images on the pages and have the text wrap. I sorta understand wrapping and anchoring, the question is sizing.
Am I on the right path to start thinking that images often need to be sized to a column width or two (plus gutter)? If so, do I size images based on the frame size? For example, the columns show as 3.2222in and the gutter as .1667. Does that mean I want to set the image width to 3.2887 or are things just not that accurate? What are the best practices?
One related question on wrapping: it seems like anchoring the image allows wrapping around only one frame of text but not the other if the image spans two text columns. How do you place and image so that it wraps text in more than one column?
Also, do people make the image smaller than the frame to put a border in when wrapping text?
Thanks
TomAre you asking about image size as it is saved, or as placed on the page?
With older RIPS it was common to want to save images at the correct dimensions so when placed at 100% they would have the correct resolution. This was to reduce processing time. Today that is less of an issue and it is not at all unusual to scale images in the InDesign layout. (I'm talking raster here -- vector objects can be scaled almost infinitely.)
So, what is the correct size? There are a number of rules of thumb, but the basic one is that images should be placed so that the resolution, at the size they will be printed, is twice the value of the linescreen being used. Anything in the range of 1.5 to 2.5 is probably acceptable, and I know people who routinely send images at 1.4 times the linescreen.
For coated papers and reasonably good reproduction, 150 lpi is not unusual, with 200 lpi for fine art books, so you get the common suggestion that images should be 300 ppi. Newspaper printing is usually accomplished on fairly porous stock at much lower screen frequencies -- 80 to 100 lpi -- so you need considerably less image resolution.
How do you know what the resolution is at the size you've place the image? Look at the info panel with an image selected. You'll see too numbers, an "actual" ppi and an "effective" ppi. The actual number is simply the resolution recorded with the image at its dimensions when it was saved (and digital cameras often save images 20 inches or so wide at 72 ppi) and is basically irrelevant. The effective ppi is the one that matters. If it's too small, either reduce the size of the image on the page, or be prepared to live with less than stellar reproduction. If it's grossly over the requirement it usually won't hurt except for some increased processing time, but the extra image data won't improve things as it gets discarded by the RIP.
It's usually OK to downsample an image in Photoshop, though you will sometimes lose fine detail or subtlety in shading, but you'd probably lose the same things through scaling in ID. Upsampling never helps.
I presume you know that you can place graphical objects in several ways, either into an existing frame, at full size (whatever that happens to be and at the "actual" resolution) by clicking the loaded cursor on an empty spot on the page, or you can click and drag a new frame the size you want. When an image is first placed it will always be "actual size" unless some scaling factor has been applied to the frame in advance, so you may not see the entire image. You then have several fitting options available to either make the frame fit the image or the image fit the frame (and in newspaper work you pretty much only want to fit to or fill the frame proportionally).
I personally like keeping the images snapped to the column grid, but it's by no means an iron-clad rule. You want to avoid situations, though, where an image impinges on a column to the point that the remaining text is unworkably narrow.
I don't know why you are using anchored frames for your images (text wrap only affects text in the frame after the anchor point). It's not likely in a newspaper that you would want the pictures to move on the page if you edit the text. You can group the image, caption and story, if you like, so that they all stay together if you need to re-arrange the page or move them to a new location.
I don't know if I answered your question. Feel free to come back for clarification.

Multi-camera shoot.. having import issues, could use some work flow advice
Okay, so I am doing some multi camera shoots. I have 2 Canon HV20's and 1 Canon HG10. The HV20's are being captured at HDV 1080i setting (1440x1080), and the HG10 is being logged and transferred coming in at it's different setting, (can't remember off hand what it is)
I am syncing these 3 with "in points", however becasue the HG10 is a different format I can not use it to do a Multiclip with, I have been using QT to convert it to HDV 1080i, but a 60 minute record seesion is taking 7 hours for the convert.
is there an easier way to get the AVCHD data from the HG10 to match the captured info from the HV20 tapes, or os there a setting to tell FCP that the multiclip doesn't need to use the same settings?
Or does someone have a better workflow I could use...?? I understand that just buying anothe HV20 would solve the problem, but I can't afford that right now, so I'm etiehr stuck only shooting with 2 cameras or wasting the time of converting to use the 3rd different format camera..
I could use some help or advice, thanks
also, I haven't been able to set my capture in's and out's and do a batch capture with the HV20's... I keep having to "capture now" to get the footage, I always get an error as soon as I tell the batch capture to start

The simple most direct route is to dub (or convert) your odd camera to the base camera's format (or convert everything to a single format). It's not a waste of time at all; simple and immediate and solves everything.

I could use some help please...
hi, i have the linksys wireless-N broadband router and the wireless usb adapter. my goal here is to simply give another desktop internet connection. i have one computer conencted to the internet via cable modem with the router all hooked up already, this desktop is using winxp if that helps. the other desktop is not connected to any internet and is using winvista with the usb adapter plugged in. now how do i send internet connection from one computer to the other!?! please help me and if you could explain with as much detail as possible step by step on how to get my other desktop internet connection i would greatly appreciate it. thanks!
First change the Wireless Settings on the Router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab-
-Here select manual configuratioon...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...
- And wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bits.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network.Now try if you could see the Wireless Network Name/SSID and try to connect...
Click on Advanced Wireless-
settings>>Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation...
Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now install your Wireless Adapter...Once installed go to Control Panel and click on Network and Sharing Center...Then go to Connect to a network...You should see your Network Name/SSID...Select your Network Name/SSID and click connect, it should ask you for a Passwor...Enter the WEP Key1 and click connect, it should connect and you should have Internet Access... -
Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone would help me with this strange little problem I'm having.
I'm 15 and taking a Java class at the local community college, and our current assignment is to make a String class for java. anyway, here is my string class:
public class myString {
private final int MAX = 50;
private char[] mystr = new char[MAX];
//constructors
public myString() {
char[] defstr = {'d', 'e', 'f', 'a', 'u', 'l', 't'};
mystr = defstr;
public myString(String str) { setStr(str); }
public myString(char[] carray) { setStr(carray); }
public myString(myString anotherStr) {
mystr = anotherStr.get();
//setters
public void setStr(String str) {
mystr = str.toCharArray();
public void setStr(char[] carray) {
mystr = carray;
//others stuff:
public char[] get() { return mystr; }
//the lefts(maybe I did too many O_o):
public char left(char[] carray) { return carray[0]; }
public char left() { return mystr[0]; }
public char[] left(char[] carray, int n) {
char[] leftstr = new char[MAX];
System.arraycopy(carray, 0, leftstr, 0, n-1);
return leftstr;
public char[] left(int n) {
char[] leftstr = new char[MAX];
System.arraycopy(mystr, 0, leftstr, 0, n-1);
//System.out.println(leftstr); <- this gave me a good report.
return leftstr;
public char left(String str) { return str.toCharArray()[0]; }
public char[] left(String str, int n) {
char[] leftstr = new char[MAX];
str.getChars(0, n, leftstr, 0);
return leftstr;
}here is my main:
import java.io.*;
public class stringtest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
myString hfb = new myString("happy fun ball, still legal in 16 states!");
char[] d00d = {'d', '0', '0', 'd', '!', '!', '1', '!'};
char[] whatev = hfb.left(15);
System.out.println(hfb.get());
System.out.println(hfb.left("well, lets see this one", 6) +
"\n" + whatev + "\n" + hfb.left(d00d, 4));
System.out.println(hfb.lowercase("d00d, PWNED") + "\n" + hfb.uppercase());
}and here is the report it produces:
happy fun ball, still legal in 16 states!
[C@119c082
[C@1add2dd
[C@eee36c
[C@194df86
[C@defa1a
so I suppose you can already see my problem here. Now I put a println in myString. it was in the left(int n) function, just before the return statement. It printed "happy fun ball", so it worked. It was a good report.
when I return it, though, it gives me some hexadecimal number with a crazy symbol in front of it.
What throws me off more is that my get function works fine, and when I use it it shows a normal report.
So, yeah. any help is greatly appreciated. This is due tomorrow(hurray for procrastination), so I could use help soon.
Sorry if I seem to be rambling, its late, and I want to sleep :)hmm..
I tried making one(which unfortunatly resulted in my direct use of the string class, rather than like an extra. I was hoping to avoid it), but it didn't change anything. Now I think I did something wrong, or perhaps I'm calling it wrong.
will it automatically get used if I do something like System.out.println(myString.left(5));?
Or do I have to get the left method to return a string?
and why does get() work correctly?
This whole thing is confusing me a lot, because it seems so inconsistent. I think its just evry language's deep, personal hatred for me :)
any further help is also appreciated, and thanks for replying so quickly :) -
I could use some help with my html5 and my video
Hello all.
I've been reading up and working on my video issue for days. I feel like I'm very close. ANY help would be huge.
I've got two websites. Both of which have videos which my clients wants to be about to see on his mac, his PC and his iPhone and iPad. He's a multi-platform guy living in a multi-platform world.
The first website, has two videos on it.
http://www.ftworthfoundation.com/index2.html
It is very close to working... I can view all videos locally on safari and firefox.
However remotely I cannot see any videos with firefox.
Remotely- I can see all videos with Safari and IE and 1 video on the homepage with my iPhone. My first thought on this was that the video which wouldn't play was too large. I read somewhere that the iPHone will not load anything over 20MB... the .m4v was 33MB so I cut it down to about a 3rd of the size and re uploaded it (at 6.6MB) but it will still not play on my iPhone
here is my code for the videos. The video is formatted in .ogg, .mp4, .m4v and .flv... all videos are uploaded to the root directory.
<div id=Video1>
<video controls width=448>
<source src="excel_Construction_Commercial.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
<source src="excel_Construction_Commercial2.mp4" type="video/mp4" />

<embed src="excel_construction_commercial.flv" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="448" height="249" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreeen="true"></embed>
</video>
</div>
<div id="VideoPlayer">

</video>
</div>
If anyone can help me on this I can probably tackle the 2nd website solo.
Thanks guys.
-DHi David.
Thanks for the reply. I am definitely moving the right direction.
I have changed my extensions but the video will still not play remotely. It does play locally.
Here is my new code

I'm thinking I have a MIME type issue as I read this article online.
Here is a link
http://diveintohtml5.org/video.html
It's a great website for anyone looking to understand how to create and export video to html5.
Anyway here is the section of article I'm interested in.
What’s the proper MIME type? You’ve already seen it; it’s part of the value of the type attribute on a <source> element. But setting thetype attribute in your HTML markup is not sufficient. You also need to ensure that your web server includes the proper MIME type in the Content-Type HTTP header.
If you’re using the Apache web server or some derivative of Apache, you can use an AddType directive in your site-wide httpd.confor in an .htaccess file in the directory where you store your video files. (If you use some other web server, consult your server’s documentation on how to set the Content-Type HTTP header for specific file types.)
Can anyone tell me how to change my MIME type? I can see my .htaccess.html file and I tried adding in
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/webm .webm
But the server will not let me upload the new .htaccess file. So I cannot change it.
I'm using GoDaddy and have complete admin rights rights as far as I can tell.
Again. Any help is greatly appreciated. -
I think I've got a memory leak and could use some advice
We've got ourselves a sick server/application and I'd like to gather a little community advice if I may. I believe the evidence supports a memory leak in my application somewhere and would love to hear a second opinion and/or suggestions.
The issue has been that used memory (as seen by FusionReactor) will climb up to about 90%+ and then the service will start to queue requests and eventually stop processing them all together. A service restart will bring everything back up again and it could run for 2 days or 2 hours before the issue repeats itself. Due to the inconsistant up time, I can't be sure that it's not some trouble bit of code that runs only occasionally or if it's something that's a core part of the application. My current plan is to review the heap graph on the "sick" server and look for sudden jumps in memory usage then review the IIS logs for requests at those times to try and establish a pattern. If anyone has some better suggestions though, I'm all ears! The following are some facts about this situation that may be usefull.
The "sick" server:
- CF 9.0.1.274733 Standard
- FusionReactor 4.0.9
- Win2k8 Web R2 (IIS7.5)
- Dual Xeon 2.8GHz CPUs
- 4GB RAM
JVM Config (same on "sick" and "good" servers):
- Initial and Max heap: 1536
-server -Xss10m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:PermSize=192m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+UseParNewGC -Xincgc -Xbatch -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../ -Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib -Dcoldfusion.dotnet.disableautoconversion=true
What I believe a "healthy" server graph should look like (from "good" server):
And the "sick" server graph looks like this:@AmericanWebDesign, I would concur with BKBK (in his subsequent reply) that a more reasonable explanation for what you’re seeing (in the growth of heap) is something using and holding memory, which is not unusual for the shared variables scopes: session, application, and/or server. And the most common is sessions.
If that’s enough to get you going, great. But I suspect most people need a little more info. If this matter were easy and straightforward, it could be solved in a tweet, but it’s not, so it can’t.
Following are some more thoughts, addressing some of your concerns and hopefully pointing you in some new directions to find resolution. (I help people do it all the time, so the good news is that it can be done, and answers are out there for you.)
Tracking Session Counts
First, as for the observation we’re making about the potential impact of sessions, you may be inclined to say “but I don’t put that much in the session scope”. The real question to start with, though, is “how many sessions do you have”, especially when memory use is high like that (which may be different than how many you have right now). I’ve helped many people solve such problems when we found they had tens or hundreds of thousands of sessions. How can you tell?
a) Well, if you were on CF Enterprise, you could look at the Server Monitor. But since you’re not, you have a couple of choices.
b) First, any CF shop could use a free tool called ServerStats, from Mark Lynch, which uses the undocumented servicefactory objects in CF to report a count of sessions, overall and per application, within an instance. Get it here: http://www.learnosity.com/techblog/index.cfm/2006/11/9/Hacking-CFMX--pulling-it-all-togeth er-serverStats . You just drop the files (within the zip) into a web-accessible directory and run the one CFM page to get the answer instantly.
c) Since you mention using FusionReactor 4.0.9, here’s another option: those using FR 4 (or 4.5, a free update for you since you’re on FR 4) can use its available (but separately installed) FusionReactor Extensions for CF, a free plugin (for FR, at http://www.fusion-reactor.com/fr/plugins/frec.cfm). It causes FR to grab that session count (among many other really useful things about CF) to log it every 5 seconds, which can be amazingly helpful. And yes, FREC can grab that info whether one is on CF Standard or Enterprise.
And let’s say you find you do have tens of thousands of sessions (or more). You may wonder, “how does that happen?“ The most common explanation is spiders and bots hitting your site (from legit or unexpected search engines and others). Some of these visit your site perhaps daily to gather up the content of all the pages of your site, crawling through every page. Each such page hit will create a new session. For more on why and how (and some mitigation), see:
http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/10/4/bots_and_spiders_and_poor_CF_perfo rmance
About “high memory”
All that said, I’d not necessarily conclude so readily that your “bad” memory graph is “bad”. It could just be “different”.
Indeed, you say you plan to “look for sudden jumps in memory usage“, but if you look at your “bad” graph, it simply builds very slowly. I’d think this supports the notion that BKBK and I are asserting: that this is not some one request that “goes crazy” and uses lots of memory, but instead is the “death by a thousand cuts” as memory use builds slowly. Even then, I’d not jump at a concern that “memory was high”.
What really matters, when memory is “high” is whether you (or the JVM) can do a GC (garbage collection) to recover some (or perhaps much) of that “high, used memory”. Because it’s possible that while it “was” in use in the past (as the graph shows), it might no longer be “in use” at the moment .
Since you have FR, you can use its “System Metrics page” to do a GC, using the trash can in the top left corner of the top right-most memory graph. (Those with the CFSM can do a GC on its “Memory Usage Summary” page, and SeeFusion users can do it on its front page.)
If you do a GC, and memory drops q lot, then you had memory that “had been” but no longer ”still was” in use, and so the high memory shown was not a problem. And the JVM can sometimes be lazy (because it’s busy) about getting to doing a GC, so this is not that unusual. (That said, I see you have added the Xincgc arg to your JVM. Do you realize that tells the JVM not to do incremental GCs? Do you really want that? I understand that people trade jvm args like baseball cards, trying to solve problems for each other, but I’d argue that’s not the place to start. In fact, rarely do I find myself that any new JVM args are needed to solve most problems.)
(Speaking of which, why did you set the – xss value? And do you know if you were raising or lowering it form the default?)
Are you really getting “outofmemory” errors?
But certainly, if you do hit a problem where (as you say) you find requests hanging, etc., then you will want to get to the bottom of that. And if indeed you are getting “outofmemory” problems, you need to solve those. To confirm if that’s the case, you’ll really want to look at the CF logs (specifically the console or “out” logs). For more on finding those logs, as well as a general discussion of memory issues (understanding/resolving them), see:
http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2010/11/3/when_memory_problems_arent_what_th ey_seem_part_1
This is the first of a planned series of blog entries (which I’ve not yet finished) on memory issues which you may find additionally helpful.
But I’ll note that you could have other explanations for “hanging requests” which may not necessarily be related to memory.
Are you really getting “queued” requests?
You also say that “the service will start to queue requests and eventually stop processing them all together”. I’m curious: do you really mean “queuing”, in the sense of watching something in CF that tells you that? You can find a count of queued requests, with tools like CFSTAT, jrun metrics, the CF Server Monitor, or again FREC. Are you seeing one of those? Or do you just mean that you find that requests no longer run?
I address matters related to requests hanging and some ways to address them in another entries:

You presented us a discussion of two servers, but you’ve left us in the dark on potential differences between them. First, you showed the specs for the “sick” server, but not the “good” one. Should we assume perhaps you mean that they are identical, like you said the JVM.config is?
Also, is there any difference in the pattern of traffic (and/or the sites themselves) on the two servers? If they differ, then that could be where the explanation lies. Perhaps the sites on one are more inclined to be visited often by search engine spiders and bots (if they sites are more popular or just have become well known to search engines). There are still other potential differences that could explain things, but these are all enough to hopefully get you started.
I do hope that this is helpful. I know it’s a lot to take in. Again, if it was easier to understand and explain, there wouldn’t be so much confusion. I do realize that many don’t like to read long emails (let alone write them), which only exacerbates the problem. Since all I do each day is help people resolve such problems (as an independent consultant, more at carehart.org/consulting), I like to share this info when I can (and when I have time to elaborate like this), especially when I think it may help someone facing these (very common) challenges.
Let us know if it helps or raises more questions. :-)

I'm currently attempting to install my newly purchased
version of Flash CS3, which I bought as an upgrade from my former
Flash 8 Pro. Unfortunately, when it asks for my Flash 8 Pro serial
number, I put it in and it rejects it. My Flash 8 Pro number was
the serial number for my entire Macromedia Suite, and it in itself
was an upgrade from Flash MX. Has anyone else run into this/a
similar problem? What is the cause? Is there any way around it? Any
information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Brooke KooblePhone Adobe. As stated in an identical thread within the past
two days, even Adobe admits that their upgrade policy is hit and
miss. I have used Adobe software since 1990, and it was only from
CS2 and onwards that the normal upgrade install process doesn't
work. Ever. So whenever I've had to reformat my computer and
reinstall everything, I end up having to phone Adobe for an unlock
key, and they don't seem surprised, and they give it to me quite
easily. -
Trying to install Desktop Manager, could use some help.
I'm trying to install on a PC running windows XP. did a complete uninstall per KB02206. The installer gets to this point:
Installing Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 sp1 (web download).
Which brings up the following Dialogue box:
Please wait while setupup configures the component. This might take several minutes.
Several minutes elapse, then:
The installation of Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 sp1 (web download) has failed. Setup will now exit.
Gee, setup, thanks for telling me why it failed. Maybe one of you kind souls has some advice on how I can make this work?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Can you try to install the framework first from here?

I'm using an iphone 4S with IOS 6. Before the upgrade I was able to share thigns from my news feed on facebook and change pictures (profile, cover) from my phone. After upgrading I cannot share or change pictures or articles. I've tried resetting my phone, deleting and re-installing fb app, but no success. Would appreciate any help, suggestions...Cheers
I've never been able to share FaceBook posts nor seen the option using the iOS FaceBook app regardless the FaceBook app and iOS version. I can Like and I can Comment, and if I select a link or video to view under iOS 6, I can use the Share option for the link or video, but not for a post.

Accidentally erased my Applications, could use some help
Intending to install Windows with bootcamp, and to format the hard drive as a single journaled disk (forgive my almost certain misuse of terminology if my meaning is clear) to allow partitioning, I restored to my last backup in Time Machine (from 5 minutes earlier). Unfortunately I forgot that my Time Machine backup excludes Applications, Music, and Movies, and so there goes about 40 gigabytes and thousands of memories.
Anyway I'm dealing with the music photo movie thing, but what I'm wondering is if there's an easy way to get back all the basic applications; utilities, etc. That would be useful in reconstructing some sort of usable machine here. I went to my Snow Leopard Disk and now I've got iTunes, Mail, Safari, iChat, Address Book, iCal, Chrome, and a Utilities folder with Quicktime, Activity Monitor, and X11 (?).
Any tips?
Also I upgraded to 10.6.4, if that matters.I ran the 10.6.4 update but still don't have any utilities or anything. I think at this point I'll just do a full reinstall, then restore certain folders (e.g. Documents, System, etc.) from Time Machine the old fashioned "Click 'Restore' in Time Machine" way. Should this work?
And I HAD been using Parallels, but found it remarkably slow in several respects, most notably when trying to play games. I figured I'd switch to Boot Camp, which I can only assume from what I've heard and what seems intuitive, runs the OS faster, and then set up Parallels (as I've heard one can) to access that partition. As I understand it you can use both; run your Boot Camp partition within your Mac side if you want to. If that's incorrect I think I'd still rather have a fast running Windows partition even if it requires a restart.
Any advice on whether I should go buy Windows 7 or use the XP I bought a few years ago when I first did Parallels?

Memory timings... I could use some help here!
I have a MSI K8T NEO FIS2R board. For long time I suffered serious system instability... due to bad memory. Anyhow, yesterday I got me some GEiL memory, 2x 512MB of PC3500 memory (type 433 Ultra DDR KHS)
Guess what? I can't get the system to run stable. I guess it has something to do with timings, although I don;t know how to set them.
Can perhaps anybody help me?
My other components should be good (strong PSU, enough cooling etc).hmmm odd, I'm usually running at FSB 210 and higher X 11 modifier (3400+) and have a SATA RAID 0 array with no problems whatsoever.... guess It's just my time to have some good luck come my way, karma or something all my other pc's were Intel's, had good and bad luck....blew a P4 & a P2 mobo (Intel) that were not that old or abused...lost 2 WD HD's for no apparent reason, a Maxtor 60 got bad sectors when it was pretty new (OEM), 17" monitor blew out (MAG) when 17's were pretty new and $$$$$, gone thru too many mice to count, made plenty of coasters with a cruddy burner after I replaced my old Lite-On (tried a Optorite, it sucked...replaced that with another Lite-On (most common rebadged-labeled/faceplated/slightly modded FW burners around (Sony/TDK etc)), had 2 Nvidia GeForeces replaced (luckily just had to pay for s&h), 3DFX went out 3 times on me... Flightstick Pro's springs snapped so many times that CH practically knew me by name.. had a Zoom external modem that needed repair.. Power supply graveyard.... I could go on but I'm sure anyone who's been with computers for over 25 years (started on a 4k TRS-80 with awesome tape player for sound!) could probably relate.... I held out against AMD for so long but thought WTH, it was originally a new HT P4 to replace my old P4 1.7 I was piecing together on newegg when I thought try the AMD, and luv my jet black speed demon... sorry was long-winded there but I'm totally stoked on this system.. Call of Duty is so fast MP with 64 players at 1600x1200x32 6x Aniso + 16x Antialiasing maxed to the teeth card & games.. I've yet to find a game to slow it down. Now with a 6mb DSL connection vs my ditched 1.5 yakoo for the same price (I live really close), I get the full BW & 3 static ip's to top it off (Blahoo charges too much for just 1 static ip, I had dynamic)... just felt like blabbing for a few
As for the Geil mem, try upping the mem voltage..I use 2.75...try as someone said CPU-Z and auto settings and see where they go vs. the advertised ratings. Often people add 1 to Ras to Cas as was mentioned on Mushkin's site for AMD64's... I've read complaints about Geil but also good, so I dunno. Same for Corsair, Kingston etc... Add to the settings and then fine tune them, same rule of thumb for overclocking. It can get frustrating 'tho I know. I posted much on the Mushkins just because they worked right outta their cases at 2-2-2 at 400... Why the they stopped with the BH5's I have no idea... I got mine just in time as they were gone the next day or at least the true Black Hi-Perf Level II's except for 2700's & I knew the paired packs were the new "2-2-2 Specials" BH6's (also supposed to be good, just don't O/C as well). I've seen em on Ebay for alot of $$$. DDR2 is just around the corner, we'll have to see... This system was the easiest to set up and the funnest to play around with to see what it could do (I still often make changes just for the heck of it even 'tho it's rock solid already) vs. all the Intels I've built for others & myself in the past (nothing against Intel)... actually the P2-450 was also easy, just not so much fun..notihng like BSODs when you make slight changes to make things tedious pretty fast. This AMD just acts a little funny when it's not quite right.. Donno, maybe Buddha helped pick out the parts from the warehouse or something........ :hypecrite: I wish ya luck 'tho & hope you get it cruising asap.. deja vu!!
