Installation from atapi dvd W DH16W1P asking for drivers
The machine apparently boots correctly from the DVD/CD device, but instead of reporting that the CD is found and asking whether to check the media, it wants to know the device type. IF CDROM is entered it wants a driver disk or one of the available drivers. This is a bit confusing to me since it just read the CD to boot (but then I am easily confused).
Is there a workaround short of building a device disk?
Can you build a device disk on a USB flashdrive? (This box has no floppies).
I'll happily read FAQs already available if anyone has a suggestion on narrowing my search.
My current probable workaround is building a USB linux install and just booting from that instead of installing on this machine, but I'd sort of like to erase my confusion and possibly save some others the problem as well.

Few days back i bought 8 ringtones from my iphone application for itunes and when yesterday I sync it with itunes all my ringtones washed off. I tried to again download the same ringtones from itunes then it again asked for payment. Why?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari
okay well they got me to take out some .plist files to see if that would help it didn't. I'm not sure what ones that they deleted for my self maybe someone here would be abel to tell you what ones to take out but didn't work the one that came close to working was this going into keychain and deleting the account(s) then reading them again.
if you are to do this please back up first with Time Machine. You can do this with a usb drive.
Okay so go back to where you had internet accounts and make sure mail is shut. click the - on the account your having problems with then quit system preferences.
Okay so then press cmd and space bar at the same time then type 'keychain access' into the search then click on 'keychain access'
once it is open go to the top of the window and put your email address that you are having problems with.
once you have put in your full email, have a look at what comes up i deleted things in the kind colome with 'internet password' and anything with under name that had smtp.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com so it would look like this, map.gmail.com - internet password.
right click and delete them. make sure not to touch any other files that dont say them things on them.
Once you have done this quit keychain access and then restart the computer, once the computer is restarted go back to system preferences and internet accounts and re-add the account.
Hope this helps. if something is not clear just ask. -
My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!
If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago. I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago; but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password.
I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that. With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software.
Best,

I was trying to buy an app from the apple store, it asked for confirmation , when I re-entered my credit card details, got the message that your payment method is not valid!!!! How can I fix this problem?
Is this a pre-paid card thing? Or different billing address than your iTS account?

Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

I have created an apple id on my pc but when i'm trying to download free apps from itunes store it's asking for credit card information which i don't have, that's why i went through apple support there i found "if you don't have credit card then click on none option but the problem is there isn't any none option so plzzzz some help me?
If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

How do I unlock mac? Someone hacked my account and I wiped my device from iCloud, and now I ask for a four digit code ignition Mac. How do they proceed in that way to unlock my Mac?
Settings>general>resets>erase all content and settings.
That will put it back to its out of the box state. Set it up with your own apple Id. -

Install iWork09 from box and it still asks for serial number
Hi all,
I think I have previously installed iWork and used trial version. Recently, I bought a family pack boxed version of iWork. On my MBA, it installed fine and works beautifully. On my iMac, it installs fine as well except when I open any of the application, it says I either have to buy a serial number or I install from my DVD, which I have already done. Just in case, I installed it from DVD again to see but I get the same results. I can't use my iWork on my iMac. Can you help?
Thanks.If you had made a search in this forum you would have found the answer many times. You have to thoroughly delete iWork. It isn't enough to delete the parts you see in the application folder.
use Yvan Koenig's script:
• Go to http://www.box.com/s/00qnssoyeq2xvc22ra4k
• Choose public_YK > for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items
• Click on uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button
restart the computer for good measures and install from the disk again. Don't forget to do the updates too -
The update DVD dosn't ask for the kind of install
it's my first system upgrade, but i read a lot
now that i receaved the DVD once it start the installation it dosn't ask for the kind of install
archive/upgrade/flat
why? am i missing something?I did not see any install options either.
I was watching very carefully, or so I thought.
The process just went ahead, after the screen that asked which
drive was to get the install, and performed an Upgrade.
Took about 1 hour, 15 minutes and so far everything I've tried
works.
Hope this helps.

I had my phone replaced today and have tried to restore from the backup I made this morning. It didn't restore properly so I wanted to try again but I can't as it asks for my iCloud password for a non-existant email account. I changed my iCloud email about 6 months ago but my phone still thinks that is the correct email and I can't change it, can't reset my phone, can't do anything. What do I do?
The fact that the email address doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. As far as the Apple ID is concerned, the email address is just a user name. As long as you know the password you used, it should be fine.
If you don't remember the password, start here:

I needed to restore my iPad but I can not back up from my iCloud as it is asking for the password of an old ID. It has been some time since I changed the ID and all seemed to work fine..... I have lost all my content unless I get this back - please help!

Installation from external DVD drive
I have an older Powermac G4 that had a DVD-RAM drive and I replaced it with a high-speed Toshiba CD-RW drive. Is there a way to install Tiger from the DVD via an external drive or do I have to buy the CD's?
Assuming this Mac has a Firewire Port or Ports and you have an external Firewire DVD drive and your Mac and the external DVD drive supports booting the computer from the external DVD drive, the answer is yes.
If not, you need to use Apple's Media Exchange Program and exchange the Tiger DVD media for CD media or if you have access to another Mac with a DVD drive and both Macs support Firewire Target Disk mode, you can connect the two Macs via Firewire Target Disk mode and install Tiger on your PowerMac G4 from the Mac with a DVD drive. -
It asked for answers that I did institute , how do I edit this ?
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
There isn't much that can be done at this point. If you did not set up the questions then I would be concerned that someone else has taken over your account. If there is a bank card in the account I would alert your bank.
