I tried to install 10.5 without success

I tried to install itunes 10.5 on windows 7, 64 bit without success, after reinstalling 10.4.1 itunes ignores my iphone. What can I do?

What kind of 10.5 disk did you use? If it was a grey system disk from a newer Intel-based Mac, that disk has no 10.5 code that a G4 processor can read and could leave you with what you describe.
I tried booting ........... from the usb 2.0 disk that's attached via a PCI card.
In spite of what Apple says (here), it's hard to find a G-series Mac that likes to boot from a USB device. Do you have one with FireWire connectivity? And some system software may have to load before the USB bus wakes up. You can try it on oneof the logic board 1.1 ports--has a better chance of getting a boot from there than a PCI card. But don't be surprised if it still doesn't boot.
The 10.5 installer requires a minimum 867 mHz processor and may look at something stored in ROM on the computer rather than actually polling the new processor before deciding if it can install. Although you have an upgraded processor, the installer may be reading the original specs off the Machine type code or other parameter that was not affected by the upgrade.

  • Trying to install Windows 7 without Superdrive

    It turns out that my superdrive kind of died, so I'm using an external optical drive. I tried to install Windows 7 from the DVD on my iMac 11,1 using Boot Camp, but after it created the partition and restarted my computer, all that I'd see was a black screen and an error: "No Bootable Device -- Insert boot disk and press any key".
    I learned that it's almost impossible to install Windows from an external optical drive, so I created a bootable USB drive using an ISO image of my Windows 7 DVD (and only after doing a lot of tricks into the Boot Camp Assistant plist file). Then I did the same than before: Boot Camp Assistant, Install, Restart, black screen and error.
    Then I installed reEFIt, so I pressed alt during the start screen and all that. I tried selecting the USB drive from there, but again I got the **** black screen.
    Is there anything else I could try? And please, buying a new superdrive is not an option.
    Thanks in advance.

    You're wrong. I've used the same DVD to install Windows on my iMac in the past, and it worked flawlessly.
    Anyway, just to be sure, I downloaded a new ISO (yep, I checked and it was bootable) and tried to create a new bootable USB drive. It didn't fix anything.
    I booted from reEFIt and there were several options. I selected bootmgr.efi and all I'd see was a black screen with a reEFIt error: "unsupported while loading bootmgr.efi". If I just select Windows from the USB drive I get again the black screen with the "No Bootable Device -- Insert boot disk and press any key" error.
    I don't know where the issue is, to be honest. It looks like Apple messed up with the firmware and there is no easy way to boicot the need of a shi**y superdrive.

  • Itunes not showing elements 11 drop down list of albums and won't sync, says ïtunes cannot sync, required folder cannot be found. ï have tried re installing both but no success. pls help!!!

    Hi, Itunes won't sync my photos to ipad from elements 11. itunes doesn't show drop down list of albums and says Ipad "......cannot be synced, required folder cannot be found" i have tried re installing both programs but no luck. pls help!!!

    I managed to finally fix the problem in a relatively painless way. It turned out that the problem wasn't on my phone, the problem was with iTunes. I completely uninstalled iTunes from my PC and then reinstalled it and everything was fine.
    In order to completely uninstall iTunes, I did two things:
    Used RevoUninstaller to uninstall iTunes. This cleans out a bunch of extra things that the normal iTunes uninstaller misses.
    Searched for any iTunes folders/files on my computer (using the freeware utility called Everything) and deleted them manually.
    I hope that works for you.

  • IPod Nano 4G frozen at language screen. Tried holding down menu-click without success. Have gone through restore process, but it continues to stick at the language screen. Intel iMac 3ghz, OS X 10.6.7, iTunes 10.3.1 (55).

    I have a frozen iPod Nano 4G. After syncing it gets stuck at the language screen and cannot proceed any further.
    I have tried holding down the Menu and click buttons for >6 seconds, without luck. Have reset to factory settings and re-syncd, but it keeps getting stuck at the language screen.
    I suspect it is the latest version of iTunes causing the problem, as I just installed it a couple of days ago and this is the first sync since the update.

    +Do you have access to, another Firewire enabled Mac, that you could use, to attempt a retrieval of data, using Firewire Target Disk Mode?+
    A question on this Firewire Target Disk Mode - If I could get access to another Firewire enabled Mac and connected the two together, host #2 to Target #1, with a Firewire cable (6-pin to 6-pin), and power the two up, even though #1 would not be booted up to the desktop but just have the hard drive powered up, would the hard drive of #1 be accessible to #2? If so, would I be able to perform any repairs or do anything to the drive to enable it to bootup the #1 computer? This would be similar to when I remove and hook up a 2.5" IDE-ATA PC laptop hard drive to another PC computer, usually a desktop, via a drive adapter and USB 2.0 cable, as an external drive. When I do this in a PC, it's usually one that is unable to boot up to Windows due to malware or other problems. I am able to see the files and folders on the #1 computer's hdd and then clean out any malware (virus/spyware), or add/replace any corrupt/damaged Windows files that might be keeping the #1 computer from booting up. After that, I can usually return the hdd to the #1 computer and boot up normally to finish any clean up or change any settings.
    I had considered taking the hdd out of this damaged iMac computer and attempting to hook it up with a PC, but after seeing how difficult it is to get to this hdd and not sure of what I'd do when and if I did get the two connected together, I put the idea way back as a last resort. I wasn't sure I'd even be able to see any folders or files on the Mac hdd due to the differences between OS X and WinXP. And, after reading that Macs aren't susceptible to malware, I didn't know what I would be accomplishing.

    THE field a.status_id is an INDEX.
    Appriciate a lot yuor help!!!!!

    Here is how I see your 2 queries:
    Query 1:
    SELECT a.ID, a.order_date, b.NAME,
    FROM orders a, order_statuses b
    WHERE a.is_local = 0
    AND a.order_date > TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'YEAR')
    AND a.status_id = b.ID
    SELECT STATEMENT, GOAL = CHOOSE                         
    NESTED LOOPS                         
    TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID     Object Object name=ORDERS
    INDEX RANGE SCAN     Object name=IDX_DEPT_ID_ORDER_DATE
    TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID     Object Object name=ORDER_STATUSES
    INDEX UNIQUE SCAN     Object Object name=STATUS_PKPresuming that the first index access listed is done first, then it is using an index on the order date on ORDERS, and then joining out to ORDER_STATUSES using its primary key index for each matching row.
    Query 2:
    >
    SELECT a.ID, a.order_date, b.NAME,
    FROM orders a, order_statuses b
    WHERE a.is_local = 0
    AND a.order_date > TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'YEAR')
    AND a.status_id = b.ID
    AND a.status_id IN (7, 43, 62)
    SELECT STATEMENT, GOAL = CHOOSE
    CONCATENATION
    NESTED LOOPS
    TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID Object name=ORDERS
    INDEX RANGE SCAN Object name=ORDER_1_STATUS_FK_I_1
    TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID Object name=ORDER_STATUSES
    INDEX UNIQUE SCAN Object name=STATUS_PK
    [Above NESTED LOOP repeated another 2 times]Again, presuming the first index access is done first, then it is applying the Status ID constraint using the ORDER_1_STATUS_FK_I_1 index, and then joining out to ORDER_STATUSES using its primary key index.
    My guess is that there are many rows matching these 3 status id values i.e. not just 3 rows, but many hundreds or thousands of rows. And I am also guessing that fewer rows match the date constraint than match the status id values - probably tens of rows with the right dates versus thousands of rows with the right status ids. You can verify this by counting how many rows match each condition:
    SELECT count (*) FROM orders a WHERE a.order_date > TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'YEAR')
    SELECT count (*) FROM orders a WHERE a.status_id IN (7, 43, 62)
    I am guessing that the second SELECT will retrieve many more rows than the first.
    In the first query the date constraint was applied using an index BEFORE the data row in the table was accessed. In the second query the date constraint is applied AFTER the data row in the table has been accessed i.e. Oracle has to read the data row in the table to get the date value to check if it matches the constraint in the WHERE clause.
    So the first query uses an index on date, which is quite compact, quickly identifies any matching rows, and then ONLY retrieves the matching rows from the table.
    The second query uses an index on status id, has to go to the table to retrieve many hundreds or thousands of matching rows, to then reject them because their date value does not match the constraint. This second query is doing a lot more disk I/O than the first one, if my guess about the data distributions and matching rows is correct.
    Why is Oracle doing this? Probably because it considers an '=' constraint to be more restrictive (will match fewer rows) than a '>' constraint (an open ended number of rows may match). Without full statistics or a histogram of data distribution, Oracle believes that using the index on status_id is BETTER than using the index on order_date. It may be wrong, but Oracle doesn't know this before it runs the query. It can only use the information available to it at the time of parsing the query. And this makes it think that the status_id index should be better than the order_date index.
    You don't mention which version of Oracle you are using. This will affect how many statistics it can collect, and how well the optimiser uses them when parsing SQL. 10g collects more statistics and tries to use them better.
    The solution? Create a composite index on (status_id, order_date, is_local). Query 1 will still execute using the original order_date index. Query 2 should now prefer this new index as it has BOTH status_id and order_date in it. Oracle can now test the rows using the data in the index WITHOUT retrieving the data rows from the table. This will drastically reduce the amount of disk I/O being done and improve performance. Only the matching data rows will be retrieved from the table, having already matched all 3 major constraints. Furthermore, because the index is ordered, all the relevant matching rows will be in the same index blocks when retrieved - which is one of the main benefits of an index: row density within the index and packing.

  • I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Epson Printer Software update 2.7 on the 29th of June and now I cannot print anything.  I have contacted Epson and Apple and both have tried to fix the problem without success. I am using a MacBook

    Does anybody else have this problem?  Epson and Apple don't have any solution.  The message I get from the printer is as follows:
    Error/library/printers/EPSON/Inkjet Printer2/Filter/rasteroescpII.app/Conents/MacOS/rasteroescpIIfailed

    Thanks for the replies guys.  Epson put me through a complex set of instructions to install an earlier driver.  The problem was not solved.  Apple also tried to solve the provlem by getting rid of the printer, unplugging it etc and then re starting and checking computer/printer communication by printing a test page from the system preferences/Pring & Fax options.  This worked proving the the computer and printer are talking to each other. 
    The printer works properly as a stand alone unit.  That is, I can copy and print and scan and print with no problems.
    The Apple support guy didn't suggest any Apple alternative drivers so I assume there aren't any.
    Neither the Epson nor Apple assistants seemed interested in the printer generated error message.  I would have thought it would at least provide a clue to the problem to someone with technical expertise.
    It seems that there are a lot of problems with the 10.6.8 update so maybe Apple will get to work and bring it up to scratch.  I hope it gets things right soon.
