Installing an application (adium x 0.89/msn) + connecting through proxy

hi all. most .dmg files will mount and tell u to drag the .app icon into 'applications folder'
may i ask, what is the difference if u drag it into MACINTOSH HDD->APPLICATIONS folder, vs dragging it into /user/applications.
apparently it had an observable effect on my installing of Adium X 0.89 (i use this for msn and i will elaborate why)
previously when i dragged adium.app into macintosh hdd/applications, the default folder, i experienced several problems. i could not initiate messages to my contacts, it would display an error message of "Could not send; a connection error occurred." however when others msged me (if i get them, that is), i can reply to them, if im fast enough. if say i don't reply within 1/2min, then any msg i type to them will be so-called counted as a new msg, and i cant initiate it again! the same error msg surfaces.
i checked my connection settings and it's ok. i uninstalled adium.app (search adium on spotlight and deleted everything that had adium), plus emptied trash. then i took a new move in installing in /user/applications folder and it worked fine!
until now. it crashed all of a sudden for no reason. i uninstalled it again. installed it again in /user/applications folder, and it has the prev problem of not being able to initiate converesations again! (how frustrating!)
why don't i just use microsoft messenger for mac 5.1 then? you might ask..
very good question. i want to use that too. but i can't! see, i'm staying at halls, at Monash Uni, Australia. we connect through our uni's http proxy + port. for msn 5.0, i cant enter my username/password (as the textfields are grayed out). for adium, i can enter them. on contacting msn, they told me my msn is corrupt, i shd uninstall it completely and reinstall it with a version i get from them, not other sources. i did that, and still can't. i have a strong feeling it is a problem defunct, they have yet to make it compatible to mac users who want to connect through HTTP PROXY (not socks 5.0) and have to enter their username/password to enter this proxy.
pls enlighten on the above issues, and hopefully provide a solution.

oh come on im sure someone knows sth abt this...
installing any program in /mactintosh hdd/applications
vs /user/applications

Installing/uninstalling application

i hope i am not asking some stupid question, but there are a few burning question in my chest and i can't find answer in Mac Help.I am completely new to Mac and its architecture. I just owned one for a few days and I am loving it :P. I am used to be a window user.
1.I noticed that installing application seems to be a bit different than installing stuff on windows. Sometimes when i open an installer, it opens up like a "virtual drive" on my desk and after the installation it remains. What is it for?? can i delete it afterwards?
2.I cant seem to be able to choose which directory i want to install my application. i noticed in theory, all software should be placed under "Application". i am not fussy abt when applications are put, but i want to understand how it works
3. I noticed some installers like MSN Messenger, Real Player. The installer itself with become an application launcher itself after the installation and they won't appear under "Application". it is ok if i drag it under "Application" afterwards? or i should install these kind of program inside "Application" at the first place?
4. and finally..... how do i uninstall program?? i know mac is really user friendly and intuitive, but I feel unsure if i can just drag the application inside the trash can and it will be properly uninstalled.
sorry for asking some many question in a thread
if u guys can feed me all kind of knowledge relating this subject, that will be much appreciated.
many thanks

1- That is a disk image file, the format most apps are when downloaded from the internet and has .dmg as the suffix. When you double click it puts what the computer sees as a hard drive on your desktop. Just open it and drag the app to your applications folder then trash the hard drive. If there are other files with the app you can hold down the option key and copy the whole hard drive over and it will create a folder with everything in it.
2- From a dmg file you can drag it anywhere you want. Theoretically you can place an app anywhere you want but some, especially Apple apps, need to be in the apps folder for proper updating. I've found it's just easier and neater all the way around to put apps in the Applications folder instead of placing them all over the hard drive and forgetting where they are.
3- Some apps are more complicated and require an installer. However a window will open up and give you a choice of what folder to put it in, most will put it in the Applications folder by default and you have to change it to put it somewhere else. If you mean the application installer it doesn't matter where that is when you double click to install. I have a separate folder where I store these for later use if I ever need to install the app again. Some have what looks like an orange box and will have .pkg as the suffice. This is a package format, just double click and it will act like and installer.
If an app gets installed outside of the Applications folder there is no problem with dragging to there if you want.
4- Most you can just drag to the trash. It will leave a file or two elsewhere on your hard drive but too small to worry about. If the app had an installer it should also have an uninstaller and you should use it. You can also check the apps web site and they will often tell you where their files have been installed to delete.
There are also apps that get rid of apps, I use AppZapper:
http://appzapper.com/
Just drag an app to the AppZapper window and it will find all the little parts of the app that got installed elsewhere, show them to you and you choose to delete them. If you don't know what something is and are scared to delete it just click the check box off.
Or there's the old fashion way, get EasyFind:
http://www.devon-technologies.com/download/
It's free and you can search the whole hard drive for all parts of an app. You can't use Spotlight because it does not search in many system folders where all the apps pieces reside. Then just trash them.

How to install Adobe Application Manager?

How to install Adobe Application Manager? I downloaded it, but can't install.
Just purchased the CC for photographers. Have been using Photoshop since version 3.
I have been studying your support docs for several days and have no business messing around with something called, .gz files and installation logs. Totally unsuccessful "Updating" my CS6 or CS6 bridge or Extension Manager or the Adobe Support Advisor by the CC Desktop.
Have no Photoshop CS6 because I followed your CC support instructions.
Uninstalled my CS6 today so I can finish a job tomorrow. Bad decision on my part because I can't reinstall it and am unable to correct
this problem.
I was able to use CC to update LR, but am absolutely too afraid to touch it now.
I have been waiting inline for Chat also, but the numbers ahead of me are going up.
If someone in this Community forum can help me, it would be fabulous.
Thanks very much.

Uninstalled Creative Cloud.
Downloaded it again - 4th time.
Deleted a AAMDetect file from the Library/Internet Plug-ins
Downloaded and installed Adobe App Manager and an icon for it is on my Desktop
Installed Creative Cloud.
OK.
Now how do get my Photoshop CS6 back before I download Photoshop CC?
CS6 is not listed in the available Apps in the CC Desktop.
Support wait time right now is 2 hours by phone.
After sitting on Chat yesterday only to see the people "waiting ahead of me" go from 17 to 18, I gave up.
Please advise.
Thanks again.

I'm note a firefox geek, but ever since my friend told me to install NoScript I can not access my msn and hotmail page. It tells me that Java Script is required, what ever that is. What do I do next. Do I uninstall the No Script. Thanks Ed

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

HT1926 My itunes won't open because it says "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" Can someone help? I don't want to delete it altogether due to needing the phone backup

I was given notification to upload the latest version of itunes recently, so I clicked installed. However it has since corrupted my itunes and I get the error message:
"This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
In poor timing, I have also accidently damaged my phone and have a new one to restore it to an old back up.
It is because of this I am reluctant to completely delete itunes off my computer and start again for fear of losing my back ups.
Is there another way to fix iTunes so I can open it again?
Thanks

Need help on installing Oracle Application express 3.2

Hi,
I had downloaded Oracle 11g database and installed the personal edition.I got the Enterprise manager login page working and also the DBConsole
I had Downloaded APEX 3.2 and wanted to install apex 3.2.I wanted to do the following scenario
Scenario 3: Install from the Database and Configure the Embedded PL/SQL
Gateway
Planning to do these steps: ( I have few questions on these steps and are below each step)
■ Running the apxconf.sql Configuration Script
Do I have to install Oracle Application express or is it already installed in 11g personal edition?
Do I have to create a seperate database or schema for this step( I have only one instance orcl1) ?■ Verifying the Oracle XML DB HTTP Server Port
Can I do this step in my current orcl1 instance,if so which user■ Enabling Oracle XML DB HTTP Server
Once I carry out these steps, Can I access the admin page for apex with https://localhost:port/apex_admin ?
Am I missing any other steps ?
Thanks

I have one idea..
Try to install again:
1) download and unzip apex_3.2 in $ORACLE_HOME
You will have:
$ORACLE_HOME/apex - old directory
$ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2 - new directory
2) in command line go to $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2/apex
run sqlplus "/as sysdba"
in sqlplus run @apexins tablespace_apex tablespace_files tablespace_temp images
Where:
tablespace_apex is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express application user.
tablespace_files is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express files user.
tablespace_temp is the name of the temporary tablespace.
images is the virtual directory for Oracle Application Express images. To support future Oracle Application Express upgrades, define the virtual image directory as /i/.
Example:
@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
3) check installation log for errors
4) in command line go to $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2/apex
run sqlplus "/as sysdba"
in sqlplus run @apxconf
set admin password
set port
5) run @apxldimg.sql $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2
6) check for running listener and try to login apex: http:\\host:port\apex\apex_admin
Good luck!

Error During INSTALL of Application Export File

An error is reported during INSTALL of an application that I am trying to copy (Import/Install) from a "development" Work Space into a "production" Work Space. The production (target) Work Space is on the same HTML DB instance as the development Work Space.
I am receiving the following INSTALL error:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 15, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &quot;,'39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W')) END)&quot; when expecting one of the following: . ( * @ % &amp; = - + ; &lt; / &gt; at in is mod remainder not rem &lt;an exponent (**)&gt; &lt;&gt; or != or ~= &gt;= &lt;=
Following is some pertinent (hopefully) information:
The above INSTALL error takes exception to part of a Region Select (sql) that works fine in the development Work Space.
The common HTML DB (v1.6) instance is on UNIX.
A new Work Space was created on the same instance.
A new schema name was created during creation of the new Work Space. However, this schema does not point to a database. (We were not certain how to setup the schema to parse to our live database.) I will be running DBLINK upon production application startup in order to access the database objects.
EXPORT INFO -
File Format: UNIX (also, tried DOS but received same error during INSTALL)
IMPORT INFO -
File Type: Application/Page Export
File Character Set: Western European Windows 1252
Target Work Space is newly created on the same HTML DB instance.
INSTALL INFO -
*Parse As Schema: COLLIVE17 (Again, this schema does not parse to a database. I intend to use DBLINK.)
*Build Status: Run and Build Application
Please refer to above error message.
Again, any insights or suggestions are appreciated.

Urgently need help! I've read several other Forum messages having a related problem but none having same Install error message.
Again, my Export/Import from development Workspace to production Workspace is successful. The following error is reported when I attempt to "Install" into the production Workspace:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 15, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &quot;,'39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W')) END)&quot; when expecting one of the following: . ( * @ % &amp; = - + ; &lt; / &gt; at in is mod remainder not rem &lt;an exponent (**)&gt; &lt;&gt; or != or ~= &gt;= &lt;=
The "snippet" of Region Sql Select code that relates to the reported error is:
ELSE htmldb_item.display_and_save (5, DECODE (GET_GRADE_B93 (sac.stc_final_grade,sac.stc_verified_grade),'18','AU','1','A','3','B','4','C','7','CR','5','D','46','DR','6','F','47','FW','49','IB','30','IC','31','ID','23','IF','44','MW','9','NC','21','RD','14','RD0','33','RD1','32','RD2','34','RD3','35','RD4','36','RD5','37','RD6','38','RD7','39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W'),'GRADE_'||ROWNUM) END q_v_grade,
HTML DB version is: 1.6.0.00.67. I've also tried to Export/Import/Install the application into the "same" Workspace specifying the same schema, and only changing the Application ID. However, I get the same Install error (see above).
Any suggestions on things to try in order to get application into production is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Bernard.

After installing an application that was created using the Application Builder

After installing an application that I created using the Application Builder I get this error if I try to run " ANY " LabVIEW App's that I have built. "Executable Version 7.1.1 doesn't match Resource File 7.1. Check your configuration."
The way that I tried to fix this is to reload LabVIEW 7.1 and DAQmx 8.0. I am using two NI-6528 switch cards.
After I reload LabVIEW and DAQmx I can run my applications but as soon as I install one on this development machine the error begins again.
The executable that I built works fine on the development machine and any other machine that I try it on but it appears that the Run-Time engine 7.1 becomes corrupt after I run setup.exe for the newly created application.
I have built numerous Installers, setup.exe's in the past without this error. Just this latest one caused this problem to start.
I can NOT upgrade to 7.1.1. I am doing work for many different sections of this factory and I can not force them to upgrade. I've asked. Others supply code for the same machines using LabVIEW 7.1.
I am stuck creating executables and manualing moving the correct files to the target machines.
What can be done?

No. The KB article was talking about a machine with 7.1.1 installed. I have LabVIEW 7.1 installed.
The machine that I am having trouble with is my development machine. LabVIEW 7.1, DAQmx 8.0.
If I build the executable all is fine. I can still run old executables including the one I just built.
If I create the installer all is fine. I can still run old executables including the one I just built.
When I install the app on my development machine the corruption occurs. I can " NOT " run old executables including the one I just built. The subject error pops up.
I have not moved any executables to the other machines yet. I don't want to corrupt others.
