Install gets stuck looking for /global/scripts/ac_media.js

My dad is older and has moved into a retirement home. He gave us his iMac G4. We have all of the original install discs (including the Mac OS X 10.2 operating system). My first problem is that he can't remember his password (even when we share his "hint" with him). Through a general Google search and on the Apple support site, I have read that I can restart the computer with the OS disc in it, holding the C key down and it will reinstall the OS and I can create a new password. My problem is when the install starts running, it seems to open the IE and the status bar indicates that the G4 is accessing the Apple site to search for files. The process gets stuck when looking for /global/scripts/ac_media.js. I downloaded that file from Apple onto a thumb drive, but didn't know where to copy it into my G4. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Julie

I blog on TypePad using Word 2007 and documents freeze when I'm looking at them in Windows explorer; why do I get the error message that Mozilla is looking for a script?

I have now had two error messages - the first one looked for this script: Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:258. The second one (today) looked for Script: resource://gre/components/nsPrompter.js:68.
I have reset my word template, also reset word registry for data and options (as per Microsoft's help pages) for both those 'fixes' there was an initial improvement, but the problem happened again after I reposted on my blog today and then went to Windows explorer to view my files. It seems to 'seize' as I select a file, so that the preview does not appear (for up to 15-20mins).
I see on the internet using the second script as a search just now that one other has had a similar problem and one also since Mozilla 4 upgrade. My problems have also been pretty much since I upgraded.
It happens (apart from my fixes) every time I go to look at a word document via Windows explorer. Excel files are less affected.
One web suggestion is to clear the cache, but I am hesitant to lose all my passwords unless I have to.

I still have the problem although I uninstalled Mozilla (clearing the cache didn't work and neither did Word diagnostics), so have ended up thinking it could be Norton (the manual update worked x1) or Windows. Today I found an answer: disable the preview pane in Windows Explorer - there's a history of problems with this view.

Looking for a script that get images' urls from a website

Hi,
I have a website where users can insert theirs hotel informations.
Most of them do not insert photos, I guess because the procedure is quite long and difficoult for the average user's skills.
I'm looking for a script that take as input the url of the website and give as output the urls of the images of the site, so the user can decide which to upload on his tab.
Someone can help me?

You have to improve your design. Even if you can find the Coldfusion code, your design will still fall short in 2 ways.
First, it is unreliable, because you're depending on some arbitrary site to be available and up to speed. Secondly, it is aesthetically wrong to be collecting pictures, especially large numbers of them, dynamically from someone else's site. Think of their copyright and bandwidth.
Fortunately, there are simple solutions. First, identify, by eye, the web pages containing the pictures you're interested in. Ask for permission from the owner.
You could indeed use Coldfusion's cfhttp or any other script to download the JPGs, PNGs, and so on. But then, why waste your time re-inventing the wheel? It is infinitely better to use a web crawler !
With most crawlers, you only have to supply the URL of the site, and the file extensions it has to grab (in your case, jpg, png, bmp, and so on).
One click on the button, and you have them reeling in. Automatically. Some crawlers are considerate enough to enable you to adjust the download bandwidth. (We can learn from a million years evolution wisdom. The vampire bat is known to inject a painkiller before sucking!).
Now that you've downloaded the images to your site, the links you display to your users are all yours. You may choose to resize some of the images, display them as you wish, and the issues of reliability and bandwidth are now up to you.

Looking for a script to automate renaming layer objects, not the layer itself!

Hey there everyone,
I was wondering if there is a possibility to create/have a script for an automated renaming of several named layer objects in Indesign (CS6).
The situation, I'm facing is a document for a templating process with at least 80 layers and sometimes some special elements on each layer. The naming of the layers is kind of repeating for each page that is used. The only difference is some prefix change in the layer name and/or the name of an element itself. My problem is, that I need to rename most of those layers AND elements in a same way and I'm looking for a script that asks me for the name of a layer or element (perfect would be just a part of the name to have multiple steps at once) and I have the chance to type in the desired value. It affects frames, graphical elements and text boxes.
If anyone has an idea, how to simplify this process I would be very glad to get some informations or advices.
Thanks in advance
Ralf

Here is a more descriptive version of the script above... :)

I keep getting a 'Looking for backup disc' message from my Time Capsule.

I keep getting a 'Looking for backup disc' message from my Time Capsule. I have set it up several times without any apparent problems (I have even done a Hard and Factory reset). Everything seems fine until I ask Timemachine to 'back up', and then the problems start.
Any ideas?

I had the exact same problem. I bought the Time Capsule this past July and it worked fine for about a month then it told me it hadn't backed up in 10 days and was stuck looking for the backup drive. I called Apple and they said the reason was that the Time Capsule was in Bridge mode. I launched Airport Utility and sure enough, it was. I changed it to DCHP and NAT (Airport Utility -> Network tab -> Router Mode). After updating the Time Capsule, I couldn't even get on the Internet, let alone do a backup. A logged into the software for my cable modem and discovered that it too was in Bridge mode.
It turned out (for me) that neither should be in Bridge mode (which is for connecting two networks). Your cable modem only has one IP address. Your Time Capsule should be doing the NAT (Network Address Translation) which translates the internal IP addresses on your network to the one IP address your cable modem has. When I switched my Time Capsule to DHCP and NAT, it conflicted with the fact that the cable modem was also trying to do this. The answer was to turn this off on the modem (allowing all the packets to just go through the modem to the Time Capsule and let IT do the NAT). I did that last week and since then, my Time Capsule has been working perfectly.
1) Go to your cable modem (via a browser, enter "http://192.168.100.1"). Log-in and find the setting that indicates NAT. If you're uncomfortable doing this or can't find it, call your cable company and ask Tech Support to do it for you. They can do it remotely.
2) Launch Airport Utilty. Go to the Network Tab and change the router mode to "DHCP and NAT".
3) You may need to restart your modem and Time Capsule. I can't remember if I had to or not.
I hope this helps. I tried many things but this is the only solution that fixed it for me. And it makes sense. Only one device, the cable modem or the Time Capsule, can be doing the NAT.

Looking for a script which gives Drive,Diskspacefree,Databasename,Filename,Filetype,Filesize,Spaceused,spacefree,free(%),MaxsizeMB,autogrowthsize,Filegroup

Hi All,
I need a T-script for sql 2005 and 2008 which should give output as:
Looking for a script which gives Drive,Diskspacefree,Databasename,Filename,Filetype,Filesize,Spaceused,spacefree,free(%),MaxsizeMB,autogrowthsize,Filegroup

In the list below, everything that is in bold face is available in sys.master_files:
Drive
Diskspacefree,
Databasename
Filename
Filetype
Filesize
Spaceused,
spacefree,
free(%),
MaxsizeMB
autogrowthsize
Filegroup
Everything in bold face is in sys.master_files. Diskspacefree is also fairly simple; you can get it with xp_fixeddrives.
Filegroup requires you sys.filegroups in every database, although you can hardcode "PRIMARY" for the file_id = 1.
To get space used per file, it appears that you need to need to visit every database and run fileproperty(filename, 'SpaceUsed') to get the data.
You need to revisit the topics for the views and function I have listed here. xp_fixeddrives is undocumented, but the output is very simple to grasp.

Looking for iTunes Script

I'm looking for a script that would remove ALL the album art from my songs. I've got so many mismatched album covers/art that it would be easier to start over from scratch than to go through all my songs one by one.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

You really don't need a script.
Select all songs (Command-A) and Get Info (command-I).
Tick the checkbox at 'Artwork' and click OK.
All embedded artwork will be removed.
To remove all downloaded artwork (from the iTunes Store), select all songs again, control-click on the selection and choose 'Clear Downloaded Artwork'.
Hope this helps.

Looking for a script like Link Optimiser

I'm looking, very unsuccessfully, for a script that will Resize all the images in my document to 100% - this script also had the option to open the image in photoshop and sharpen it.
I had it a few years ago but can't seem to find it now. Any ideas?

I have one in development...opens the image in photoshop with the crop from ID. (does not sharpen or save)
Getting it ready for public release is on my queue for this month, but I'll send it to you privately for now.

Install Gets Stuck

OK... I've been struggling with this all day...
I'm trying to reinstall Tiger over a mess I made on my hard drive. When I do, it goes great, but right at the end, about 2 minutes out from finish, it gets stuck. I did a hard shut down and rebooted. It again asked for the 2nd install disc, then proceeds to repeat itself, getting stuck right at the end. I managed to reboot from the 1st install disc to try another reinstall, deselecting all the second disc apps so that it won't even ask for it, but it asks for it again and gets stuck in the same place.
So, I rebooted again from the 1st disc and ran disk utility. I then ran the Repair Permissions function, as well as the Repair Disk function, both said my Mac volume checked out fine. But when I tried to restart after that, it again asks for the 2nd install disc.
Basically, the installation is stuck in the installation stage that requires the 2nd disc, but then it just proceeds to get stuck at the same spot. And I've walked away for hours at a time and it's still in the same exact spot.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you tried reformatting the drive?
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Click on the Options button and be sure to select the GUID partition map then click on the OK buton. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
If this doesn't help then perhaps you have defective installer discs. Try making copies of them and using the copies to install. You will need to have an optical drive that can write dual-layered DVDs (Core 2 Duo MBP, for example) and a couple of dual-layer blank DVDs.

Looking for PowerShell Script

I'm looking for a PowerShell script that I can run and will copy a file with today's date yyyymmdd.txt to a remote location renaming it to XXXXXX.log and over writing the existing *.log.
Sounds simple, but as a newbe to PS, I could use some help.

Check out: Get-Help Copy-Item -Full
That cmdlet can copy a file from one place to another, rename it, and also overwrite a pre-existing file (-Force).
Also check out Get-Help about_Variables for info on how variables work in PowerShell. You can use Get-Date -Format yyyymmdd to get the values you'll need for your source file name, then save it to a variable to use with Copy-Item.
I don't know what XXXXXX.log represents, but that might just need to be another variable.
Does that help?

Looking for RT61 scripts? [Solved Maybe!]

Following this in wiki....
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RT61_Wireless
looking for scripts?
Anyone know where I can find them?
Edit Just looking at wicd...will read install notes looks like what I need!

My setup is very similar to tomk's - minimal Arch install, LTS kernel, managed over SSH. It used to be my compiling setup (until my more powerful laptop came along), but it does a mighty fine job as an MPD server (connected to my stereo), torrent server and NFS file server (for my HTPC). Also runs a small webserver (ruTorrent frontend) but the webserver is starting to be employed as an FTP replacement - so I can access my OpenWrt builds from the LAN, and as an Arch package repo.
I back up like once a month over eS-ATA. 1 TB & 2 TB HD's in my server, identical ones in my eS-ATA disks. 2 GB of RAM, but I could probably make do with 512 - on i686, that is. I would take out what you don't need, 4 GB sounds like overkill for just about any server unless you're gonna virtualise and stuff, and you shave a few Watts off your idle usage.
RAID is not a backup, the best backups are off-line and (ideally) off-site. My eS-ATA disks are in another room, so far for off-site .

10.7.2 install getting stuck at validating packages

I have tried the install through the software update and downloaded it from the website. Both are getting stuck at validating packages. What should I try next?

just about to go to bed and, at long last, the progress bar has moved!!! and the installer has moved on to "Registering updated applications". Finally it has told me that the installation has been successful!!!!
That last "about a minute" has taken nearly an hour - haven't people at Apple grasped the concept of time?
I have clicked Restart to complete the installation, and the MBP has rebooted successfully. Tomorrow I'll check that all my applications work
This upgrade has taken me over one day of messing about, downloading fixes, rebooting, etc, etc. Whilst it is a relief that the problem has been fixed / gone away (hopefully), it always leaves a feeling of doubt and uncertainty when you don't know exactly what the problem was, or what the definitive action was that you took to make it go away.
Thanks to everyone for their input and suggestions. Good luck to those still battling with their problems

Mac Mini stuck looking for Windows Boot Disk! Please help

Hi all, I've been running Leopard on my Mac Mini off a FireWire hard drive enclosure. The 750gb hard drive in the enclosure is a drive I used to have in my old iMac.
When I had my iMac I'd installed Windows via Bootcamp. So when running, the Mac Mini would show a Windows partition on the Leopard desktop. Today I needed to do something in Windows. so I went to Sys Prefs > Startup Disk and chose to reboot into that Windows partition. BIG MISTAKE
Now whenever I turn the Mini on it looks for a Windows partition and tells me it can't find one. I've tried resetting the PMU, booting from Leopard DVD, holding Option, nothing works. The only thing that will work is if I put a Windows XP disk in and it will try and take me through the install process.
How on earth do I get my Mac back booting into Leopard!?
Message was edited by: Thomas Robinson

I can't believe it was just the new Apple thin Alu Keyboard causing it! Plugged in an old Apple USB one and I got the Option startup menu straight away, totally bizarre!

Mac App Store is stuck looking for itunes.

Mac App Store is stuck on "One moment please connecting to the itunes store". The mac app store works on the laptop and itunes store works on all devices as well. I have purchased many apps on the iphone, ipad and even itunes on the imac. The Mac App Store will not let me log into my apple id either. Can anyone help? Please

@dah-veed - I have tried that and all of the information is correct. I downloaded a song and it went through in iTunes. However the Mac app store is still lookin for iTunes. I downloaded iTunes 10.2.2 and reinstalled it. Did not help the Mac app store. I read a couple of articles saying that I will need to re-downloaded 10.6.6 to install a new copy of the Mac app store. I did. Still no help. I went as far as re-downloading 10.6.7. Still the Mac app store is looking for iTunes to no avail.
