IMac G5, cannot install OS X-Pro help needed

Hi, i have an iMac G5, a broken internal CD/DVD, the original OS X cd (10.0.3), firwire is OK, external Lacie firewire DVD is OK. I cannot get the iMac to recognise the OS X install CD. It recognises a Panther CD. I used a iBook and firewire to set up the new hard disk. I then used the restore finction on the iBook to write the 10.0.3 to the new hard drive as a restore action. Booted up the iMac G5 and just the question mark, nothing!. Have tried so many variables and different combinations over the last 4 days. Ive looked up loads of stuff on the tinternet and tries to be creative but no go. Anyone got any ideas? I thought maybe an image would work but how do I install an image without an OS on the hard disk already, can I do it from OpenFirmware?
Here is summary of test
. used original 10.0.3 cd with external Lacie firewire DVD/CD drive-cd not recognised when using 'alt' key
. used Panther cd with external Lacie firewire DVD/CD drive-nothing-iMac recognises it but will not let me install-I guess because it does not match the iMac
. used disk utility from iBook and target mode on iMac to action restore using 10.0.3 as source, new hard disk (320GB partitioned into 3) as target, iMac does not boot
. old hard disk was unserviceable, reclaimed data and it was thrown away
. put 10.0.3 cd into iBook cd drive, firewire link, used target mode on iBook and alt key on iMac to use iBook cd drive as source, CD not recognised.
. anyone got a 10.0.3 image or CD I can ftp down?

Phil, Welcome to the discussion area!
...the original OS X cd (10.0.3)...
Is this a typo? None of the iMac G5s came with OS 10.0.3. The first iMac G5s came with OS 10.3.5. The iMac G5 will NOT recognize any OS earlier than the one that shipped with it.
. anyone got a 10.0.3 image or CD I can ftp down?
No and you would get to meet Apple's lawyers up and personal if you did.

Cannot install Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows XP

Good day,
I cannot install Adobe Acrobat Pro on my windows XP machine with SP2 and the latest updates.
The error says that the software cannot be installed on the Operating system, please see minimum requirements. I meet all these but cannot install
I saw a similar question posted on the forums but it is unanswered.
Please assist me.

Hi,
This link has the minimum system requirements for Acrobat 10 Pro : Acrobat X Pro Tech Specs
On Windows XP, the minimum requirement is SP3 for 32 bit. I would recommend that you update to SP3 by running Windows Update and then reinstall the application.

How do I install the iOS 4.3 on my iPhone 3GS ? I've tried direct links but they it says safari cannot install this ? Please help !

You can not install anything but the current version of iOS. If you have a 3Gs, then you can install 6.0.1 by plugging it into your computer running iTunes (10.7 or higher). If you have a 3G, 4.2.1 is the end of the line.

Have you guys been able to activate your iphone yet? I bought an iphone 4s from eBay and it worked fine, but the previous user had left some data on it, so last night I used the "erased all content and settings" to restore it to factory setting so I can start fresh and restore my backup. But now I'm stuck at the activation screen (I get the same "the activation server is temporarily unavailable") and can't get it to activate, even if I use my old deactivated AT&T sim card (I'm on straighttalk now).
I might try activating it with an active AT&T sim card from my fiancee's phone when she gets home, so I'll let you know how that works outs.
If it's true that the server is down; anyone know when it will be back up again? Thanks in advance.

Cannot install Windows 7 Pro; gets stuck on "Starting Windows" screen

I have read dozens of posts on this topic but none has helped yet.
My system has Windows 8 with UEFI. I want to install Windows 7 Pro on another partition. I have turned off Secure Boot in the UEFI/BIOS. When I try to install Windows 7 Pro from a DVD it shows "windows is loading files" and then gets stuck on "Starting Windows"
for ever. This happens even when no USB peripherals are attached.
I have already wasted many days on this. I hope someone can help.
Thanks!

Hi friends of the internet
I have been reading several forums regarding the issue of installing windows 7 (64 bit) to a computer that have had windows 8 installed previously or just a GPT formatted disk.
My Case:
Windows version installed: Windows 7 Professional N with Service Pack 1 (x64) or Windows 7 Professional (x64)
Computer used: Samsung laptop
Model Code: NP53U4C-A02SE
See the specks here:
http://www.samsung.com/dk/consumer/computer-peripherals/notebook/notebook/NP535U4C-A02SE-spec
Create a USB install disk that not freezes at ”starting windows” screen:
First I followed this great guide (Thanks Daniel):
http://
hodgin.ca/2012/10/02/creating-a-uefibios-windows-7-usb-and-installing-to-gpt-partitions/
STOP AFTER STEP 13!
1. Open a command line in administrator mode
2. run DISKPART
3. type LIST DISK
4. Look for the disk number that represents your USB drive
5. type SELECT DISK # where # represents the number of your USB drive. Get this right or you will wipe a different drive out.
6. type CLEAN
7. type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
8. type SELECT PARTITION 1
9. type ACTIVE
10. type FORMAT fs=fat32 quick
11. type assign
12. The drive should now be formatted and marked as active and fat32. Do not format the drive as NTFS or you will only be able to boot into the installer in BIOS mode.
13. Now you will need to copy the contents of the windows 7 install dvd to the USB with a regular copy paste from windows explorer.
Here comes a very weird hack... I do not know why it works, but I think it is all about flash drive data structure. I did these steps on a win 7 prof. computer.
(Let’s assume it’s drive E:)
Make a copy of your e:\efi\microsoft folder to e.g. your desktop.
Delete the e:\efi folder
Copy the \efi folder from a windows 8 installation disk (I used Windows 8 (x64) Professional) to the e:\efi folder. Sorry I cannot provide this for you.
Here comes the weird part. Then delete e:\efi\microsoft you just copied from the win 8 installation disk.
Copy the \microsoft folder form the desktop to e:\efi\microsoft
Resume the guide from step 18.:
http://
hodgin.ca/2012/10/02/creating-a-uefibios-windows-7-usb-and-installing-to-gpt-partitions/
18. Insert the USB in the machine and turn it on and boot into the UEFI/BIOS loader and check for boot options. On the ASUS Zenbook it detected two boot options on the USB drive. One was UEFI and one was regular BIOS. I made the
UEFI option the first choice and restarted the machine.
My bios setup was:
Secure Boot = Disable
OS Mode Selection = CSM and UEFI OS
Boot Device Priority = I made the UEFI option the first choice and restarted the machine.
The installation should start normal.
E.g. See this guide:
www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/186875-uefi-unified-extensible-firmware-interface-install-windows-7-a.html
What I did was:
Select custom installation (Advanced).
Click Drive options (Advanced).
Delete all partitions (this might not be needed). When I did not delete all partitions I was asked every time after the install, during start up by the windows boot manager to select ether win 8 or win 7.
Click new (DO NOT make Changes in the size of the disk), apply, see NOTE!
Edit the Primary partition as you want it e.g. divide it to more partitions.
Select the one you will install windows on and do a normal install.
I do not make changes in the Bios after install. The Boot priority is automatic set to “Windows boot manager”. If I change the boot mode back to OS Mode Selection = UEFI OS, the computer will freeze at the “starting windows” screen again.
All this worked for me, good luck. There might be more to it, but this is a start.
By the way, the start up time for a MBT install was 37 s. And for the GPT it was 49 s.
Remember if we stand on each other’s shoulders we will reach higher
J.
NOTE: Here the installation program should create three partitions automatically!
Partition 1 - System - The EFI System partition that contains the NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt, and other files that are needed to boot the system, such as drivers.
Partition 2 - MSR - The Microsoft Reserved (MSR) partition that reserves space on each disk drive for subsequent use by operating system software.
Partition 3 - Primary - Where Windows is to be installed to.
If this isn’t the cast you are not installing in UEIF mode. To check for this (thanks again Daniel):
If you need to find out if you have booted into BIOS mode or UEFI mode when the installer starts you can press SHIFT+F10 when the welcome installer shows up to open a cmd prompt. from here you will likely be at X:\Sources. Type cd .. to
go back a dir and move into \Windows\Panther\
Then type notepad setupact.log
Within this file do a ctrl+f and search for
Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Detected boot environment:
It should either say BIOS or UEFI.
To check if your disk is in the GPT format.
Open the command prompt.
Type: DISKPART
Type: List Disk
See for the star (*) in the GPT column

CS6 - cannot install Acrobat X Pro

Upon installed everything from the CS6 pack, it pops up that Acrobat X Pro cannot be installed with error message :
ERROR: DW050: - Acrobat Professional: Install failed
Any idea?

Mid of Aug. 2013, I bought a new Lenovo T430s notebook pc & Adobe CS6 Master Collection (student edition, ENGLISH Version) in Hong Kong, then find out i could not install first all of the software in CS6 Master collection, and then could install all other software in CS6 Master collection,except Acrobat X Pro could not be installed.
I use many methods listed in Adobe Help Community and had installation for over 5 times still cannot work it out.
I then call to Adobe Technical Support Hotline: 852- 3071 4922 in Hong Kong, Mr David Leung at technical support talked to me three times in a week, and we communciate by email too.
Over the phone, David Leung instructed to install Acrobat X Pro from my notebook pc 's safe mode by type in "misconfig" at run, but still could not install Acrobat X Pro from CS6 Master collection.
Here are the whole case, and method to solve it, anyone face similar installation problem that could not install Acrobat X Pro from Adobe CS6 Master Collection under Window 8, could try this method that I use, and i could install Acrobat X Pro in success by myself finally over 10 days.
Computer for install the software:
- a NEW Lenovo Notebook computer, Model T430s, Window 8 (Traditional Chinese Version), Microsoft Office 2013,
NO Anti-virsus software and other software are installed, deleted Adobe AIR installed in the notebook computer
Actions Taken try to install CS6 Master Collection and Acrobat X Pro (* BUT NOT WORK):
- use Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool
- set Regional Language Setting to UK English in computer
- reinstall CS6 master collection, and Acrobat X Pro for few times
- used another new set up administrator account to log in computer to install the software
Notes:
- First time to install CS6 master collection, only Acrobat X Pro and InDesign Software BOTH could not installed successfully.Then base on a Chinese user in China posted info online from google, and use his method to delete 'Caps.db' and 'pdb.db' in Program Files(x86)/common files/adobe/caps, then re-install CS6 master collection, then InDesign and other software could be installed, but only Acrobat X Pro still cannot be installed.
Aug 23. 2013, I click on the given link from Adobe techncial support David Leung by email:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/errors-exit-code-6-exit.htmlhttp://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/errors-exit-code-6-exit.html
I read the solutions info at the link ant then take the following action:
Action DONE:
Go to D:\Adobe CS6\payloads\Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86
-         Then see its Install Shield Wizard, and CLICK “Repair” Icon, then enter
-         Then install the Acrobat X Pro of the CS6 Master collection
-         Then show this error after installation is not done successfully
-         * Note: now has only Three Error messages
Exit Code: 6
Please see specific errors and warnings below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DW050 ...

ERROR: DW050: The following payload errors were found during install:
ERROR: DW050: - Acrobat Professional: Install failed
I see one of the error message is Error 1335 , which has shown in some of the past trial installation of Acrobat X Pro from Cs6 master collection. I then go to search error 1335 on Adobe help community online and see this link info:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/install-error-1311-1335-or.html
Error 1311, 1335, or 2350 "Source file not found...data1.cab" |Install Adobe products | Windows
I then use its mention method, I COPY the DISC 1 of Adobe Cs6 master collection from the D: of my notebook computer to my computer Desktop 's new folder (I make a new folder on desktop first). Then I install the Acrobat X Pro from the copied whole disc 1 at the Desktop folder, then I could install Acrobat X Pro immediately and successfully to my Window 8 (Chinese) platform notebook computer. I could use Acrobat X Pro (i.e Acrobat 10.0) at the computer now. It means to install Acrobat X Pro from DESKTOP is the solution.
** FOR ADOBE:
Share these with you, hope it could help, and wish ADOBE could archive my case and this method to help all others.
Normal users same as me must feel frustrations if could not install Adobe software. ADOBE as an international software developer should fix the bugs asap once it already know the bugs relate to Window 8 or any other new pc software may crash Adobe software !!!

Cannot Install Acrobat 9 Pro Extended - More Functional Product Available

I am trying to install Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on my new PC. I get an error that a more functional product is avilable on my PC and the install closes. I installed Framemaker 10 before attempting Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. I notice a folder in my files that is Acrobat 10 (but there is no icon or program option in the menus). Is this the problem? Do I need to uninstall Framemaker, then install Acrobat 9, and then reinstall Framemaker? Any help is appreciated.

Cannot install Acrobat X Pro. AAM says "installed" - but no sign of the "Launch app" option.

The Adobe Application Manager states Acrobat X Pro is installed but there is no "Launch App" option.
I have succesfully installed Ai, Ps and Id, but Acrobat X Pro is giving me a headache!
The app installed with a warning and 2 errors. (I did not save the text about this event - and I cannot repeat the operation that led me there,)
I can recall some detail from the text:
• The installer could not remove data from an (old?) file from my Acrobat 9 installation.
• There was a reference to the installer "lacking permission(s)" for some operation.
• Also, some reference to my computer not supporting several "requirements".
I have since uninstalled my Acrobat 9 installation, but cannot uninstall Acrobat X Pro. (It is not listed under "Programs & Features".)
I also cannot re-install Acrobat X Pro - the AAM won't let me.
Any ideas? Can I download a trial-copy, then try to install that? Would it be recognized by the AAM?

Thank you, Baljeet - that worked well - However, the now installed Acrobat X Pro version 10,1.1.33 apparently needs a update/patch to upgrade Acrobat to vs. 10.1.3, and after much effort and many forum-suggested fixes, I cannot complete the update. (It "rolls-back" and reports an Error 1310. Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\2c4f05.rbf. Verify.......access to that directory.")
I have also received the same ("1310") error, but referencing a lack of sufficient "permission to modify....a certain file". (I can't now recall which file.)
To further complicate matters, my Secunia P.S. Inspector app also reported the need for an update - which did not complete either. It is now perpetually "Waiting for update to complete".
I hope you can solve this problem too! Thanks.

Cannot Install CS4. Please Help!!

I downloaded a 10 segment CS4 package from my university software site. My download window shows all parts were downloaded sucessfully but I cannot install. Bear with me, I'm still in computer "tech" learning and lingo. They are all .dmg extenstions. When I try to open, say, part 1, there is a warning saying "no mountable file systems". Try to open part 2, and warning says "missing parts 1,3, 9" though they are present. I ran Adobe Support Advisor and it said that I needed to update a certain font, but wouldn't tell me which one. I ran the download through Firefox, if that matters. I looked through their support forums and found no help. Can someone please help?? I've spent hours trying to install this. I'm about ready to give up and scrap it, but I really need some of the Suite, especiallly Illustrator.

Cannot install on MacBook Pro

I just purchased the Adobe Creative Suite CS6. I cannot install it on my Mac Book Pro because it says it is for a Windows operating system. I did not see another version for Macs. What should I do?

Wher did you buy it? If you ended up with the Windows version, you will have to exchange it. Contact sales support by web chat or phone, assuming you bought directly from Adobe. Otehrwise get in touch with your reseller.

Cannot install acrobat 9 pro updates on osx lion

Hi,
I have not browsed through the forums here, so please forgive me if this question had been asked before. Are there known issues between Acrobat 9 Pro and OSX Lion? We have a user who has OSX 10.7.5 and Acrobat 9 Pro. He is not able to update Acrobat as there is no option to do so when he clicks on Help. He tried manually downloading and installing updates but when he is asked to select the copy of Adobe product to update, he only has the option to cancel.
I installed Acrobat 9 Pro on a Macbook running Mountain Lion and did not encounter any problem installing updates.
Is this a known issue?
Thanks,
M

I cannot install Adobe X Pro. It states that I already have a more functional product installed.

I only have Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Flash Player loaded on my laptop. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
JD

Hi jtide,
Please check if you are trying to install Acrobat X Pro or Reader X.
If it's Acrobat, then try uninstalling Reader 11 and install Acrobat. After Acrobat is installed, Install Reader 11.
Acrobat X Pro with Reader 11 can be installed on the same computer.
