Install went smooth, "first run" applet didn't seem to run

I upgraded to SL and my mac seems very happy. However I have a concern... After the install, the system rebooted, and the welcome screen came up, all the welcomes, and hellos in the different languages, and then a configuration utility came up. I remember seeing icons for configuring iMail, network, etc. however that app quit, and I can't seem to find it to run again. Is there a way to launch this 'first run startup configuration thingie'?

It's an upgrade/update that used your previous information, so no need for the setup assistant. Just a simpler way to install stuff by Apple. If you really want to run the setup assistant, launch the Terminal.app, type in this command, hit the return key, enter your password, hit the return key, quit Terminal, and restart:
*sudo rm /private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone*
Use at your own risk.

reinstall iPhoto - go to your receipts folder ("Your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) and remove any iPhoto receipts and reinstall from the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only

9.1. is an update and can only be installed if you have purchased iLife '11 on DVD or iPhoto '11 from the App store - and iPhoto '11 will not run on OS 10.5.8 - or 10.5.1

*unselected "Sync music" from the appropriate tab. And iTunes warned: if you do this, we will delete every playlist and song on your iPod*
To change to manually managing an iPod you don't "unselect" sync music, you "select" manually manage songs and videos. If you want to delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod you need to change the update option of your iPod by checking the box beside "manually manage songs and videos" in the Summary tab and clicking Apply. Your iPod will not sync with iTunes in this mode so it can have different content, you can get details here:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
One major word of caution. If you delete songs or videos from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up anything you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD: How to back up your media in iTunes
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod
I don't have any TV shows so I can't speak from experience here but looking at the TV tab it appears you can only sync shows, there's no manually manage option. Syncing would require that you keep the shows on your computer otherwise they would be removed from the iPod the next time you syncronised with iTunes.

Do you have security software that acts like a sandbox or uses virtualization to restore files on a next boot?

I purchased Lion and installed it my first Mac. I then went back to the apple store using my laptop to install Lion. Under purchases it tells me I have no purchases. What am I doing wrong?

Another option is to DL with the first Mac and save a copy of the installer app. Then, just copy it to the other machines and stop wasting resources DLing for each machine.

Incompatible extensions were not disabled at first-run

After having success running FF4b6 on one windows XP SP3 laptop, I decided to install it on my other XP SP3 laptop. The install on laptop #2 went fine, but when b6 loaded, I noticed that extensions I knew from installing on laptop #1 were incompatible with the beta (i.e. Personas changer, Echofon) were not disabled on first-run. Instead, they seem to now be zombie extensions, with their icons hanging out in my statusbar and menus, but unable to function. Clicking on the zombie icons gets empty lists or no reaction, rather than the usual options. I am unable to manually disable the zombie extensions because the extension manager shows empty space where it should show a list of the extensions (i.e. it loads the sidebar of "find add-ons, add-ons, plugins, etc, but the inner frame that would list the contents of any of those tabs is blank). A restart of the browser didn't help.

Deleting the extensions.* files didn't help, but I think safe mode helped me get a handle on things. (I also forgot to mention the first time around that I installed the beta on a system that already had 3.x installed. Not sure if that matters.)
Here's what I've done based on/after your reply:
1. Closed beta and made sure 3.x wasn't open
2. Deleted extensions.* files
3. Opened beta. Observed that same problems persisted
4. Uninstalled beta
5. Opened 3.x. Observed that extensions were all working perfectly in that install.
6. Reinstalled beta.
7. Launched beta. At first run check for extension updates, before the browser window launched, progress bar got approximately 3/4 of the way through, then popped up an error dialog box that said, "The operation can not be completed because of an internal failure. A secure network communication has not been cleaned up correctly."
8. Observed in launched beta that same problems persisted.
9. Closed beta. Launched beta in safe mode.
10. Checked add-ons manager. Displays properly in safe mode. Disabled all add-ons that said they were incompatible with beta6.
11. Restarted beta. I now have a functional add-ons manager! Woohoo!
Thanks for your help!

Photoshop/Premiere Elements 10 installed but won't run past Welcome screen

I bought and downloaded Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 for Windows 7 - 64 bit on Dec.31/11. There were no error messages in the download, although the Akamai downloader screen didn't seem to show 100% before proceeding to the next step. Everything appeared to install correctly (it's a long process!).
At first, clicking on the desktop icons or the Start Menu list would bring up the Welcome splash screen, where the broad options (Organize, Edit, New Project) were shown. However, clicking on these options had no effect at all. Eventually even the Welcome screen wouldn't appear. I checked the Windows task manager and no applications were running.
I checked the shortcut properties and noticed that there was a separate executable in the target directory (eg. existing link was to "Adobe Premiere Elements 10.exe", but there was also a file called "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe"), which did run...however, I couldn't launch the Organizer from that program, and the "Home" link to the Welcome screen didn't function either.
With thousands of these programs being downloaded, I'm surprised that this serious glitch hasn't surfaced before. Any ideas?
Thanks!

There are three different programs -- Photoshop Elements (PSE) which is for editing bitmaps, Premiere Elements which is for video editing, and the PSE Organizer which is for cataloging your media.
I don't like the sound of that Akamai downloader not registering 100%.
Uninstall all the Adobe products, reboot, and download the installation package again. Check the Properties on that downloaded file and "Unblock" it if Windows has flagged it as "possibley harmful and coming from another computer" before starting the installation.

"Something went wrong with running Nokia Xpress" A...

hello there,
out of the blue the nokia xpress browser on my asha 501 does not start anymore: it just shows the blue background with the globe icon. when i press the back button, the following message appears:
"Something went wrong with running Nokia Xpress"
- I have subsequently updated the phone software to version 14.0.4
- I have run the troubleshooter tool under "installed programmes"
("Debug <Ovi Browser> connecting on port 2800")
- I have restarted the phone
nothing helped.
is anybody familiar with the problem and might assist with some help?
thanks in advance
*chris.

Hi Chris,
I had the same problem but I managed to solve this today (04/12).
Follow the steps below:
Be sure to backup your files.
1. Settings (configuration) > Reset phone
2. Click OK. Wait restart your phone.
3. Run Nokia Xpress and DON'T upload your backup.
I hope that your problem was solved.
And, after this situation, when your phone ask to keep the old files of the browser, click on No.
Bye,
Pedro HSB
If this helped you, please, give to me a Kudo Star, so I can contribute further, but, if this didn't help you, contact me and we gonna solve your problem together.

Solaris 8 Installed, but won't run

I�m pretty new to UNIX environments, so any advice or help in regard to the problem I�m having with Solaris 8 on my Compaq Presario would be much appreciated. It's a 1G Athlon with 128M of memory.
I�ve installed the software, though throughout the installation I was only able to get monochrome screens after I got through the monitor/graphics adapter configuration. I have an old 14 inch SVGA 1024x768 monitor (frequency unknown) so I chose the multifrequency monitor at that resolution (interlaced) at a 14 inch screen size and the VGA 16 color graphics adapter, because my Nvidia TNT graphics card isn�t supported in the install program. I was then able to see a serviceable display test screen, though the colors were not accurate in every oval.
The installation went smoothly after that, though as I say it was in monochrome without any depth in the graphics.
I can now start Solaris, which proceeds through the Open Desktop Environment 1.4 screen, then freeezes at the screen with the multiple Solaris logos. This is all in monochrome by the way. No color appears. At this point the curser is a fat X (it does move when I move the mouse).
Would I be correct that the problem is likely to be the need for a driver to support the Nvidia card? I found the Sun archive with the correct driver, but all the installation instructions seem to assume that Solaris is running and that I can get to a shell prompt, which if I can do that I don�t know how. Is there a boot option I need to use in order to get to a default shell?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Try to boot into single user mode. At the following prompt...
<pre>
Boot path: /pci@0,0/pci-ide@7,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a
Boot args:

or i <ENTER> to enter boot interpreter
or <ENTER> to boot with defaults
<<< timeout in 5 seconds >>>
Select (b)oot or (i)nterpreter:
</pre>
... type <b><code>b -s</code></b>. Once you're in single user mode, install the latest video driver patch (109401-06). After the patch
is installed, re-run
<code>kdmconfig</code> to configure the video card.

HT1926 Have you gotten the error "a program required for this install could not be run"

Whenever I try to install iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, I get the error" a program required for this install could not be run". Any ideas?

Burwood, that tip says to repair the Apple Software Update module. I went through the process of uninstalling all Apple programs from my computer first, so that's not the problem (and it's not installed, so it can't be repaired).
I tried installing iTunes with the "automatically update" box unchecked as well, to no avail. Any ideas?

TS1363 Just installed the new ITunes (running Windows 7) and now it cant see my IPhone

Just installed the new ITunes (running Windows 7) and now it cant see my IPhone (which it saw fine just a few minutes ago). So I can't do a backup etc. What's wrong and how do I put it right?

Well, without my doing anything, the situation has now righted itself. I came down this morning, switched on the computer and the IPhone - and now ITunes recognises the IPhone (it is listed under "Devices", which it wasn't before)
I notice however that the IPhone doesn't get listed under "Devices" until the backup process is complete. So maybe this points to what may have been going on before? Except that the reason I was worried was because the first thing I wanted to do after dowloading the new version of ITunes is make a backup - and I couldn't because ITunes didn't "see" the phone.
Anyway, not the first time I have had the eerie feeling that my relationship with IWorld is not in my control.

New DVR Issues (First Run, Channel Switching, etc.)

I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to find answers through the search with no luck, so sorry if I missed something.
I recently switched to FIOS from RCN cable in New York. I've gone through trying to setup my DVR and am running into issues and was hoping for some answers.
1. I setup two programs to record at 8PM, I was watching another channel at the time and only half paying attention. Around 8:02 I noticed a message had popped up asking if I would like to switch channels to start recording. I was expecting it to force it to switch like my old DVR, but in this case it didn't switch and I missed the first two minutes of one of the shows. I typically leave my DVR on all day and just turn off the TV, this dual show handling will cause issues with that if I forget to turn off the DVR. Is there a setting I can change that will force the DVR to choose one of the recording channels?
2. I setup all my recordings for "First Run" because I only want to see the new episodes. One show I setup was The Daily Show on comedy central, which is shown weeknights at 11pm and repeated 3-4 times throughout the day. My scheduled recordings is showing all these as planned recordings even though only the 11pm show is really "new". Most of the shows I've setup are once a week so they aren't a problem, but this seems like it will quickly fill my DVR. Any fixes?
Thanks for the help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I came from RCN about a year ago. Fios is different in several ways, not all of them desirable. Here are several ways to get--and fix--unwanted recordings from a series recording setup.
Some general principles.
Saving changes. When you originally create a series with options, or if you go back to edit the options for an existing series, You MUST save the Series Options changes. Pretty much everywhere else in the user interface, when you change an option, the change takes effect immediately--but not in Series Options. Look at the Series Options window. Look at the far right side. There is a vertical "Save" bar, which you must navigate to and click OK on to actually save your changes. Exiting the Series Options window without having first saved your changes loses all your attempted changes--immediately.
Default Series Options. This is accessed from [Menu]--DVR--Settings--Default Series Options. This will bring up the series options that will automatically be applied to the creation of a NEW series. The options for every previously created series will not be affected by a subsequent modification of the Default Series Options. You should set these options to the way you would like them to be for the majority of series recordings that you are likely to create. Be sure to SAVE your changes. This is what you will get when you select "Create Series Recording" from the Guide. When creating a new series recording where you think that you may want options different from the default, select "Create Series with Options" instead. Series Options can always be changed for any individual series set up later--but not for all series at once.
Non-series recordings. With Fios you have no directly available options for these. With RCN and most other DVRs, you can change the start and end times for individual episodes, including individual episodes that are also in a series. With Fios, your workarounds are to create a series with options for a single program, then delete the series later; change the series options if the program is already in a series, then undo the changes you made to the series options later; or schedule recordings of the preceding and/or following shows as needed.
And now, to the unwanted repeats.
First, make sure your series options for the specific series in question--and not just the series default options--include "First Run Only". If not, fix that and SAVE. Then check you results by viewing the current options using the Series Manager app under the DVR menu.
Second, and most annoying, the Guide can have repeat programs on your channel tagged as "New". It happens. Set the series option "Air Time" to "Selected Time". To make this work correctly, you must have set up the original series recording after selecting the program in the Guide at the exact time of a first run showing (11pm, in your case), and not on a repeat entry in the Guide. Then, even it The Daily Show is tagged as New for repeat showings, these will be ignored.
Third, another channel may air reruns of the program in your series recording, and the first showing of a rerun episode on the other channel may be tagged as "New". These can be ignored in your series if you set the series option "Channel" to "Selected Channel". Related to this, if there is both an SD and HD channel broadcasting you series program, you will record them both if the series option "Duplicates" is set to "Yes". However, when the Channel option is set to "Selected Channel", the Duplicates Option is always effectively "No", regardless of what shows up on the options screen.
As for you missing two minutes, I have sereral instances in which two programs start recording at the same time. To the best of my recollection, whenever the warning message has appeared, ignoring it has not caused a loss of recording time. You might have an older software version. Newest is v.1.8. Look at Menu--Settings--System Info. Or, I might not have noticed the loss of minutes. I regularly see up to a minute of previous programming at the start of a recording, or a few missing seconds at the beginning or end of a recording. There are a lot of possibilities for that, but the DVR clock being incorrect is not one of them. With RCN, the DVR clocks occasionally drifted off by as much as a minute and a half.
