Install failure due to "faulty DVD" problem: only with Family Pack?

After going through a few threads on the subject of installation failure due to tbe pseudo-faulty DVD, I have the impression that many users mention that they were using a Family Pack install DVD or in one case a "drop in". The former is my case. Please post if you have had this problem with Leopard install, and whether you were using a single licence, family pack or drop in. It's just a hunch, but perhaps this problem only affects a specific set of disks.

I believe that they are holding back on sending a new DVD until they know why there were defective ones. I read somewhere that they require a new SKU so that they will actually be a separate batch.
Can you borrow a DVD from anyone to install Leopard? You certainly would be allowed to legally do that. I am surmising that Apple is overloaded with requests for a replacement DVD and really want to make sure it works. You know that old thing about "fool me once..."
Stuff happens - but with Leopard, a lot of stuff sure happened at once. They sold 2 million DVDs. If only 5% have problems, that's a lot of problems to deal with, one at a time.
In time it will sort itself out, but in the meantime the rooms are full of smoke

    Get a lens cleaner disc. One with brushes and try that. CDs and DVDs use different lenses, so since CDs load and play, I strongly suspect a dirty lens.

  • System freezes due to hard disk problems only on Linux (not windows)

    Intro/context:
    Recently i've bought (about 2 months) a new laptop, a Lenovo G50-70, which came with Windows 8.1. As i had no interest on that OS, i formatted the disk and installed only Arch Linux. During that time i experienced system freezes which i had no idea why they were happening. As time went by, i found disk errors on system logs related to hard drive. I searched those errors and almost everything i found was that my hard drive had problems, so i decided to use my warranty. But first, i installed the original OS back again. And after using it a couple of weeks, i didn't experiencie any problem with my hard drive (on Linux it was really frequent). Now i've installed Arch Linux back, along with original Windows 8.1, having dual boot. There is no disk problem when using Windows, but when on Arch, i have the same errors and problems i used to have. So i assume it may be related to kernel or some confniguration issue.
    I also haven't noticed any relation between system freezes and system use. I mean, it can happen either under light or heavy use.
    tl dr: system freezes randomly for some minutes when using linux due to hard drive problems. The problem doesn't happen on windows.
    What i've done so far:
    The first period i was on Arch, i run smart (long and short), fsck, and hdparm tests. And nothing (no errors). Searched for bad blocks, and nothing. When back on windows, i also run tests on hdd and found no problems, except some sector reallocation not-that-nice indicators. These problems occured at the end of the first arch installation period. But still i currently experience no problem on windows.
    I've also tried setting libata: noncq, 3.0G, noacpi, noapic kernel parameters, and had no result.
    Changed BIOS setting from AHCI to Legacy, and no result. Also updated BIOS and no result.
    I found no firmware update for this hard drive.
    So i don't know what other thing i can try. I want to emphasize that there is no problem, no freezing, when running Windows, so i don't think it's a hard drive issue.
    Info:
    Hard drive is a Toshiba 2.5" HDD MQ01ABD100 5400 rpm.
    Some logs i've recollected all this time:

    Something i'd noticed both the first time i was on arch and now i've reinstalled it, was that at first i didn't have this problem. I mean, when Arch was just installed. While i was installing and setting up everything.
    Now, i'm not 100% sure about this, but i think problems began when using my current user. Disk is partitioned the following way:
    $ lsblk
    NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
    sda 8:0 0 931,5G 0 disk
    ├─sda1 8:1 0 1000M 0 part
    ├─sda2 8:2 0 260M 0 part /boot
    ├─sda3 8:3 0 207,7G 0 part
    ├─sda4 8:4 0 25G 0 part
    ├─sda5 8:5 0 14,8G 0 part
    ├─sda6 8:6 0 80,5G 0 part /
    ├─sda8 8:8 0 599G 0 part /home
    └─sda9 8:9 0 2G 0 part [SWAP]
    So, i believe problems, for some reason, are related (and were related), both before and now, to the /home partition, /dev/sda8 in this ocassion.
    Because of this, i booted into systemd rescue mode, like root, rw, and unmounted /home partition. Despite root-only limitations, i used the system for a couple of hours, started lxqt, browsed the web mainly, and experienced no problem at all.
    Now i booted normally, with my regular user, and these problems are experienced just like before (and almost instantly, like 3 or 5 minutes after starting system use).
    dmesg this time showed a some different log, though it's not the first time i see this. I just didn't saved that kind of log before.

    There are some sda8 (home) related messages. I also found these messages first time Arch was installed (i think also related to home partition).
    root and home partitions are both ext4.

    This set of error happens when I have create six other Oracle databases in my NT box. Before that, I can manually run the backup with no problem and a backupset has been generated.
    If you have come across this problem and have solutions of it. That will be great.
    Thanks !!

  • Premiere Pro CC import problem only with last .VOB file

    When I import .VOB files from any DVD into Premiere Pro CC, the last .VOB always cut picture from both sides. When I click to see properties of the file (in Bin panel) it shows me that image size is 540 x 576 instead of 720 x 576. The video isn't shrunken but cut off. I got two black bars on both sides of the screen (in Premiere Pro CC). That wasn't happened with CS6 and now it happens always and only with last .VOB file. All other files from same VIDEO_TS folder are imported correctly. When I convert that last .VOB to .avi or any other format everything is OK. Any suggestions?

    Yes it works, but I have no time to convert file every time I need something archived that way. I used that method years ago, and if I'm not wrong we are progressing a little Most of today options you have in Premiere 5 (maybe even in earlier versions; I'm using it from version 5.1) and it worked. So if you think like that, why we need version 7.2.1 ? Actually this is 14.2.1 version if you count from version 1 back in 1991.
    It's not about to manage, it's about to have what you pay for, it's about to speed up the process.
    Thank you anyway for your comment

  • "@font-face" problem only with firefox. I have attached a style sheet while i was embedding my personal fonts into a website, but Firefox won't load them. Why?

    I was hand coding my new website. This time i was trying to embed some personal fonts into my website, so i used a style sheet to embed which is coded like
    "@font-face {
    font-family:Sofia;
    src:url(../fonts/Sofia-Regular.otf);
    All the font work fine in the root folder of my site. But whenever i am creating dreamweaver templates and using them on pages which are in different folders but in the same root directory, the fonts are set back to default font. This problem is only with Firefox. Chrome, IE, Opera etc. works fine. Please Help!

    i run into the same problem the last days.
    using bootstrap and the fontawesome iconfonts.
    everythings fine with chrome an ie, but no fonticons with firefox...
    found alot of solutions, but none of them worked.
    then, using the webdeveloper console (i used firebug all the time before) i see the error why the webfont was not loaded:
    [14:18:36.161] GET http://www.example.com/font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=3.2.0 [HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required 21ms]
    yes, the site is behind a '''htaccess''' login.
    first load after login is => everything ok!
    after following an internal link => no webfonts!
    after disabeling the htaccess login, everything works fine!
    but that can only be a workaround!
    why firefox didnt recognize the login/authorization like chrome does?!
    what todo if you have your site behind htaccess and want to use webfonts?!

  • Problems only with Adobe ImageReady Animated GIF

    Anyone encounter a problem and solution for getting ImageReady animated GIF working properly in a java app? Developer placed 2 animated gifs in the app which caused the CPU system resources to spike to 100%.
    We then tested animated GIFs made from Macromedia Flash and also a freeware animated GIF editor, and both work out fine in the same java app.
    It's odd, but we think there's a problem specifically with animated GIFs produced by Adobe's Image Ready in the Creative Suite 1 package.
    Anyone have more insight?

    Its been a long time since I have used ImageReady, and then it was for about year when CS3 came out. So my memory if very rusty with that program. (In other words I am hoping that I am not too far off base, lol.)
    Check and make sure there are the same number of layers as there are frames. I believe there is an option in the animation palette for sending the frames to layers. Once you know that the frames and layers match (plus any additional layers you create), you can clear out the animation and reapply the layers to frames.
    You should find a small icon in the upper right hand corner of the animation palette and the layers palette. Clicking them will bring up a menu that will do what you need.

  • Airplay iphone problem only with music player

    I have seen many discussions relaiting to airplay problems and now that I own both an iPhone 5s and a Bose Soundlink Air. I have discoverd there is possible a problem with Apples' software with the music player.
    I have sucsessfully played music from itunes from three Macs in my house to the Bose SoundLink Air via wi-fi. All worked perfectly. I also used Remote from three iPhones, 3G, 3GS and 5S and again all worked fine. I have also used a radio app on each of the three phones and airplayed the radio direct to the Bose Soundlink Air and it all works perfectly.
    However, when ever I play music (on the phone) direct to the Bose Soundlink Air, I get the usual complaining from other users of the sound plays for 20 seconds or so then cuts out etc. etc.
    As mentioned above, if I play radio direct it works so why can't music (as its now called) on the iPhone. Seams to me the bug is in the music player that Apple has on the iPhone.
    I might try another player (like VLC) and let you know if that works then we will know for sure the bug is with Apple.

    Okay, Spoke to Bose and explained the problem. He said that because the air play was dropping out with multiple iPhones then the problem was with the unit. He told me to return the speaker system, which I did.
    So here's the interesting part...
    I then purchased a set of Bose Computer speakers (cheap one's) and a new AirPort Express and found the same thing was happening, 'Airport drop outs'. So I swopped over the new AirPort for my old Airport Express and that has worked perfectly for the past half week.
    So my conclusion which I have yet to discuss with my local Apple Store is the new AirPort products are not totally compatible with the old Airport products.
    BTW I am using a 2nd gen Time Capsule to send out my wi-fi signal (may be time for an upgrade) but it works perfectly with all the rest of my old Apple stuff (and so far our new iPhone 5s's).

  • Is my Leopard DVD single use or family pack?

    I bought Leopard for my laptop many months ago. I want to upgrade 3 home machines from Panther but cannot remember for a facrt whether I purchased family or not. I have the DVD and a manual but it does not say (or show a license key, did I have one of those, perhaps on the DVD case?).
    Is there a way to determine if this is family pack from the part number?

    What I sent are Apple's order numbers. I have no other information as I do not my Leopard disc with me.
    If you remember paying $129 for it then it's not the Family Pak.

    That's wrong.
    You need to do this instead:
    # pacman-key --populate archlinux

  • Is yahoo messenger download failure due to a computer problem?

    Every time I try to download Yahoo messenger, I'm not able to open up from it's desktop icon to complete the installation of the program. Why is this?  Should I set the computer in Select mode first before trying to download it again?  Do I need to change the number of colors in the desktop display?    If so, how?  Do I need to change the size of the screen?  If so, how?  Thanks.

    Please,anybody can help me?
    thank you
    alessandro

    HI,
    First, you tried different labels? I take this to mean you tried different media? Verbatim, Maxell to name just a few might be good.
    Second... try repairing disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Next, please click My Settings on the right side of this window and tell us which Mac you have. The more details you provide, the easier to help you. Your profile indicates you are running 10.5 but you posted in the Tiger forum 10.4.. please update your profile.
