I tunes download to non existant drive

I am trying to download i tunes 10.5 to my Vista 32bit laptop. It fails as it is saving to E drive. There is no E drive only C or D. How do I fix this?

Udev thinks there's a non-existent drive

I have an error
[sdb] Asking for cache data failed
[sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
that is repeatedly output to my tty1 console (it outputs roughly every 50 seconds) and to my error logs.
The odd thing is that I have no sdb drive, which is presumably why the request for the cache data is failing. This is a laptop with the only hard disk as sda and the CD drive as sr0. There's nothing about sdb even mentioned in fstab or mtab.
But if I plug in my USB drive it is attached to sdc, so it thinks there's an sdb of some sort. When I plugged it in, I had similar messages:
[sdc] No Caching mode page present
[sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
which was also displayed to tty1.
I was running a system fully updated as of that morning. udev had been updated the previous day so I reverted it back and the phantom drive problem went away. I assume this is a udev problem, both thinking that sdb exists and outputting annoying messages to tty1.
I've looked at the threads on here and the top results on Google (eg, a thread here. On LQ), but none of them has been useful for identifying the cause of the problem nor for suppressing the output. I tried doing update-usbids.sh and update-pciids, but that didn't fix anything. initscripts was also updated at the same time and I looked at that, but saw nothing in the changes that looked possibly related to udev.
So my questions are:
Why does udev think this phantom sdb exists and how to I eliminate it?
On a side note, why on earth does it output on tty1, and how do I stop that?

I have problem with mass storage device here too. It is strange because a lot of people does not seem to have this problem. I use Arch64. Are you using too Arch64? That could explain why so few people are having this problem?
I don't know if my problem is the same but I can't read anymore some of my usb mass storage devices!
Here I can read a USB stick with a single partition:
Feb 19 10:31:25 localhost kernel: [22804.760501] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off
Feb 19 10:31:25 localhost kernel: [22804.791584] sdc: sdc1
Feb 19 10:31:25 localhost kernel: [22804.797761] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk
and things go well, I can read the usbstick in Nautilus etc...
I have a external harddrive that have more than one partition, with linux partitions. fdsik recocgnise the disk so that I can find the right partitions to mount and I can mount manually one the partition which holds a reiserfs but it fails to mount one of the other partition. I don't remember the type of this partition ext2, ext3 or reiserfs...
dmesg gives this messages when plugging in the external HD:

Can't install 7.7. it's looking for non-existant drive G:

Everytime i try to install i get an error message cannot find drive G:
I only have up to an F drive. Have tried plugging camera and iphone to usb ports to create a "dummy drive G" but no good. Pleeeease help! i really need the new upgrade for my iphone and it requires itunes 7.7!!

I've been fighting the same battle the past 2 days, but when I followed these numbered directions above I thought it would work. Wrong, it still said "A later version of iTunes is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue".
One of the things I noted on the iTunes support page is that VBscript must be installed, and I thought I had it since I have the file: (C:\windows\system32\vbscript.dll).
Anyway, I downloaded VBscript 5.7 from the Microsoft web site, ran the installation, rebooted, and tried reinstalling just the iTunes.msi as described in step 5 since I'd already installed the other components. The install worked this time. I was flabbergasted! Trust me on this, I must have spent 10-12 hours trying everything to uninstall old components, clean up files & directories, and remove all possible registry entries manually, and I could not get past the error message saying I already had a newer version. Only after installing VBscript was I able to get iTunes installed and running!
It is extraordinarily frustrating to have to spend so much time and effort to run a simple software install that should have taken 10 minutes. The developers who thought it was a good idea requiring VBscript be installed on the host machine ought to flogged!

CS3 Installer asks for non-existent DVD drive

I'm running CS3 on Windows XP. I need to reinstall because I somehow lost codecs for Premiere Pro. Whenever I try to reinstall, the CS3 installer puts up an Installer Alert that asks me to insert CS3 Master Collection Disc 1 into drive G:\ to continue installation.
That sounds pretty simple, but there is no G: drive on my computer. My two DVD drives are D: and E:, and inserting the disc there has no effect. Checking the Windows device manager shows no G: device recognized anywhere on the computer.
I can only click OK, which returns the same alert, or Cancel to cancel the installation. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get the CS3 installer to ask for installation disks on an existing drive. What's particularly annoying is that the installer is running from a DVD in drive E:, so you'd think it would know to ask for further discs in drive E:. I've tried it as well from drive D:.
Any ideas for getting the installer to stop asking for discs in a non-existent drive?
I've toyed with the idea of completely uninstalling CS3, but am afraid that the installer still won't work, in which case I won't be able to get any work done using CS3 at all.
Thanks for any and all help,
Mike Boom

Audigy 4 pro/"non pro" driver confus

do audigy 4 and audigy 4 pro drivers differ? the newest pro is only beta and a few months older than the "non pro". also, despite having bought a 4 pro, it never says so, neither in the system or when using autoupdate (installed products: Sound Blaster Audigy 4, DR release 2.5.0), auto update does not tell me to download the non pro driver though. I'd be glad if someone could tell me which driver to use

Inbox downloading non-existent emails endlessly

A few days ago the red "unread mail" counter began rising and rising without downloading any messages. The loading spiral next to the "Inbox" indicates that it thinks it's downloading, and it does not stop. The number began at 300 (I keep a lot of unread mail in my inbox), but is now at approximately 800 and only stops when I close the program. This mail is not showing up in my inbox, and I am not a popular enough person to make so many messages an actual possibility.
Along with the endless non-existent emails, the actual email that I should be getting is not showing up.
I have tried Rebuilding my mailbox a couple of times and have deleted the "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2," but these have not worked.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
You will need a minimum of 10-12 GBs of free space to install Yosemite, however, that is a bare minimum and should be at least twice that amount.

What's with the non-existant free trial download for Photoshop?

What's with the non-existant free trial download for Photoshop? You click on "Download free trial" and it takes you to a page that takes you to a forum… nothing happens. I've done this about 6 times on two browsers. Of course, there's no help from Adobe, so I'm trying this forum. Thanks!

Thanks very much for a prompt reply! Much appreciated. Unfortunately, that's exactly the page I was on. And I used both Firefox and Safari and got the same page, with the same nothing...

Flash Download Problems
WindowsXP SP3
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20110902 SeaMonkey/2.3.3
(Note well: Internally, SeaMonkey 2.3.3 is the same as Firefox 6.0.2. They both use the same Gecko 6.0.2 for rendering Web pages, interfacing with the Internet, downloading, etc.) They differ only in the user interface (menus, buttons, etc).
I see two problems when trying to download a new version of Flash Player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. .
1. Your Web server is sniffing for my browser. I select the "Download now" button, and I get the same page all over again. The navigation is looping. If I spoof Firefox 6.0.2, however, I do get a download. This means you are sniffing for "Firefox" when you should be sniffing for "Gecko".
2. While spoofing Firefox, the download gives me install_flashplayer10_chrd_aih.exe, which is not the installer for Flash Player 10.3.183.10. Instead, it is some kind of helper. To get the correct installer file, I had to search my archives to find the URI http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win /install_flash_player_10.exe.
Both of these problems were previously cited in this forum at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3885371. Neither problem has been fixed.

Satellite L70-A Series Webcam Driver non existant.

New out -of-the-box L70-A Series Satellite laptop does not have a webcam driver nor does the Webcam even exist. I also tried the microphone in prepartion to use Skype and the speech recognition doesn't even recognize any microphone exists. Have performed a COMPLETE factory re-initialization from the factory image and the unit cam out the same. Have looked everywhere for some sort of drivers for the webcam or the microphone and none exist. I also noticed that ALL of the newer models of laptops available under the ToshibaDirect website DO NOT have ANY webcam drivers available. Need help!! Thanks.

Try deauthorizing the computer even if you haven't authorized it. If you've already authorized it, deauthorize it twice and then authorize it again.

Simulating a non-existent printer

SIMULATING A NON-EXISTING PRINTER
Before buying an expensive colour laser I would like to be able to take it for an imaginary test drive at home, check out all the printer options, generate Postscript files for the printer, and so on. Just play around with it basically. Then when I test drive in the store, I already am familiar with the printer and can really put it through its paces.
So, is it possible to simulate having a printer if all the PPD files, and whatever other files are needed, are in the system but there is no printer connected? Or does the Mac require the printer to be present and have a two way conversation with it? I've used HP and Xerox installers but can never get the printer to come up under Print Centre, because I suppose there's no printer connected.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Hi Guy,
As you mentioned, the driver may not work if it can't actually find the printer. I've done this a few times myself. Every so often, the driver will work. Which is nice because then you can see all of the print and color options. Just as easy though is to go to the manufacturer's web site and download the user manual. They almost always have these as a PDF document.
Beyond the actual use of the printer, color is another issue. Since all papers affect how color will look from the same printer, there's no way to tell what you'll get in regard to color unless you print on the paper you will be using. Better of course to profile it first if there is no profile from the manufacturer for the type of paper you want to use. But then you need profiling software and hardware.

PE12: asking "Where is file..." for a non-existent file

When opening a project in Adobe Premiere Elements 12, I'm getting the "Where is file..." pop up window. It's asking ...
"Where is the File 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiere Pro 1.5\Presets\Textures\Business Title_7.tga'?"
Which is odd because I didn't use any such file in the project, I only have Adobe Premiere Elements 12, and this is installed on a MacBookPro. So I'm not sure why it's looking for a tga file in a Premiere Pro folder in a non-existent C:drive.
I only have two video clips in this project. I'm using the cross-fade transition between titles and clips. The title template I'm using is "RedBulbs_Title". I've duplicated it several times and I seem to get that same "Where is.." pop up, one for each time I've used the "RedBulbs_Title" template.
Am I missing something in my installation?

A.T.
I have a new project that I've created in Pe12. I get the message every time I open the file to continue editing. So, I created it, edited for a while, and save. When I open the file again, days later, I get the error.
It does seem to be related to the titles in Pe12. The error seems to occur once for every time the title template is used. I dismiss the error saying the file is Offline so that I can get to the project and continue working. Even though the file is considered "offline", the video doesn't seem to be mising any components.
I'm useing Pe12 for Mac, purchased new from Amazon.com. It was a clean install. There was no previous installation of Premiere Pro or Elements.
I have not imported any jpegs. My source files are .mp4 and the title graphics within Pe12. It's a very simple project.
The strangest part for me is seing a Windows error message on a Mac. I've never even opened the Windows install disk for Pe12, much less used it in the Mac.
Using Finder to search for the missing file returns no results as if the file doesn't exist anywhere on the Mac.
Am I correct in that the Title clips in Pe12 are not on the installation but on the internet? I seem to recall that the Title files had to download the first time I used a particular title in Pe. Could it be a problem with the downloaded files?
I'm re-installing Pe now. I'll let you know how that goes.
Re-installed over previous install hoping to avoid losing anything. Big mistake. Everything just crashes now. Uninstalling everything, preferences and all, and will do a clean install.
more to come.
