Installing problem for 8.6 to 9.1

Hi everyone,
after i installed 9.1 onto my iMac G3 CRT slot-loading and original G3 CRT, the computer refused to respond to keyboard and mouse controls. the mouse works after the installation and 9.l was successfully installed however i could not click on anything. thus i could not shut down properly and was resorted to pulling the power cord out and plugging it back in to restart the computer.
when i inserted the 9.2 update CD, the same mouse problem occurred. i could not click anything and no icons appeared on the CD although i was successful in installing 9.2 on other G3s. i've tried pressing C after i plugged the power cord in and booted up the computer but the "computer did not shut down properly" error would appear and could not update the computer.
is there a solution to this problem. i have this issue with around 2-3 other G3s too. i don't know why this issue occurred now. any advice or suggestion is appreciated since i have a deadline to meet for setting up these computers.
thanks

The time would appear in the menu bar. No clicking involved.
The battery is for the pram maintenance. If the pram battery is bad then all sorts of problems will ensue.
When I have a mac with a bad pram battery the ?? mark shows up, or a blank screen, or nothing. No boot from hard drive, no cd boot, nothing. If I can get it to boot then the time is off and stuff does not work the way it is supposed to.
It could be that the pram batteries are bad on your macs or that the donor of the macs realized their value in giving them away. I don't know. I have a couple of old computers that I have to take out the battery, disconnect the power, and let them sit overnight to get them to boot. Leave them running and they are fine. Shut them down and all sorts of problems arise. Old equipment is that way.
When trouble shooting computers with problems like this it is a process of making sure that the starting points are good and then testing from there. There is no magic bullet.
Sorry.

  • SQL Developer install problems for Windows 7 Home edition

    Hi there,
    I understand Windows 7 64-bit is not supported for oracle 11gR2 but I installed it anyway.
    This is not my problem.
    I am trying to install SQL Developer and am getting this error when I click on the set up:
    Unable to launch the Java Virtual machine, located at path:
    C:\Program Files(x86)Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\msvcr71.dll
    When I check the version of my java it is correctly displaying 1.6.0_21 for my 64 bit.
    I read that you need the 32 bit one installed as well and I do. In my Program Files there is a java and a \jdk1.6.0_21 folder. In the bin directory it does not have this .dll:
    msvcr71.dll
    Is that the problem, because i have heard of other people getting sql developer working on their Windows 7 home laptops but they are old posts and I'm not getting any reply.
    I also changed the Environmental variable for the path, such as:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21 /bin
    and none of the 3 above worked for me either.
    Any suggestions are appreciated!

    I unzipped the sql developer download to C:\Windows and it unzipped fine. I went into my folder of sql developer, double clicked the sql developer.exe and it asked for the path for java. I clicked Browse and the default was C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin so I chose the java from this folder. It accepted the argument, tried to start sql developer, and came up with the same error, so something is still not right that I am not understanding??

  • How to resolve some install problems for 7.02 on Windows 7 64 bit

    This is a short re-cap of some of the issues I came across when installing NSP 7.02 on Win 7 system. I'm posting it here rather than writing a blog - there are numerous excellent guides already out there, but the particular issues below meant I had to collect info from several other posts, search other forums, and also do a bit of research on my own. Therefore, I hope that this post can be useful for those who - like me - had to resort to searching the forums... sometimes in vain.
    Installing the 7.02 Sneak Preview on a 64-bit system is not that straightforward, but "doable". I've just spent the weekend successfully installing on two systems; an HP Touchsmart laptop (i3 processor) and my trusty Dell desktop (Core 2). Both machines have 4Gb RAM, barely sufficient, but the thing is up and running. At last.
    Compared to earlier Sneak Previews, or the 32-bit varieties, this is no walk in the park. Definitely not like the first 2004s, which ran as smoothly as a knife through butter (at least on XP).
    Here are my own tips, based on the issues I experienced:
    Phase 5: Failure to start MAXDB instance - installer reports no MAXDB software installed. Curiously, this happened on one of the machines, not the other. Even weirder, it happened on the machine that had previously had a MAXDB installation (which was wiped clear before installing).
    I got around this one by manually installing MAXDB. The steps were:
    Launch the 64-bit MAXDB installer - sdbinst.exe - from the 64-bit MAXDB directory (NOT the 32 bit, which won't run on your 64 bit system anyway). It's in one of the sub-directories - search for it. Use it to start a manual install of MAXDB, and select the "tutorial" database. This will install a sample (256Mb) database on your system. Now, re-start the miniSAP installer, and you should pass phase 5 without issues. (See info below on the STATISTIC file!)
    ABAP import issues: If the ABAP import step fails, with at least one of the 37 import jobs failing, this could help:
    Break off the installation. Go to the sapinst_dir\...\ADA\CENTRAL directory, and delete all .TSK files and their related .TXT counterparts. These are (to my knowledge) created during the ABAP import, based on the DB schema files that are used for the ABAP import. If you remove these (or at least the ones that caused the import to fail), it will re-apply them when you re-start the installation and select the option to use existing installation.
    Also remember to delete the "statistic" file in the same directory - it will generate an error if you do not get rid of it before re-starting the installation.
    Usually, this is enough to ensure the ABAP import works.
    Install license and developer key:
    The system calls itself "SAP-INTERNAL", not "DEMOSYSTEM". This is somewhat confusing, as the NSP license key you request from SAP will not load due to different installation names. The workaround is to DELETE all temporary (pre-installed) licenses. Mark them, right-click, then delete. Make sure there's NOTHING left in SLICENSE, then upload the file you got from the license request page (NSP, 2004s Service pack 9 or higher). This should work.
    Only now can you use the developer access key of BCUSER.
    Remember, every time you re-start the installation and select the "use old" option, you have to remove the mentioned "statistics" file from the ADA\CENTRAL directory, since it keeps track of what has been done so far.
    This version seem to suck resources like no other sneak preview has done before. I'm looking forward to installing it on a new, powerful machine - just have to get around to ordering it first...

  • Install Problems for PSE8

    Our small business recently bought PSE8 for windows.  We attempted to install on the first office computer, when the serial # was inputed, it gave an error saying that it was an invalid serial number.  Called the company and found out we needed to uninstall trial version.  We did that, and restarted computer.  Now, neither of our office computers will read the disc. When it is in the first computer, the autorun will not work, and it will not allow us to open it manually. When it is in our second computer, the autorun will not work, and when we try to run it manually, the computer says to insert a disc in the drive (like there is no disc at all in the drive).   We thought it was the disc, and took it to a computer in another part of the building, and the autorun worked!  What could be wrong, that it will not run on our computers?  We have Windows XP, and our systems should be up to date. Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated!  Thanks!

  • Installing problem for Lr 5.3

    I'm trying to update Lr 5.3 via the CC desktop application, but I'm getting the following error.
    Exit Code: 7
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example,  ERROR:
    -------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
    - 0 fatal error(s), 2 error(s)
    ----------- Payload: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 5.3.0.0 Adobe_Lightroom_x64.msi_5.3 -----------

    MSI Error message:
    ERROR: Third party payload installer Adobe_Lightroom_x64.msi failed with exit code: 1624

    Yes, this is a known issue Alper.
    Lightroom was added to the CC secondarily, and as it is currently, it's best to update LR by using the update mechanism via Help > Check for Updates, rather than looking to update it using the CC app manager like you do with the other CC applications such as PS, ID, DW, etc.
    See this in the Lightroom & Creative Cloud FAQ:

  • Reader 2.0 install problems for HP iPAQ Voice Messenger

    I am having no luck installing any version of Adobe reader on my phone. I am not the "IT" guy that I would like to be but have installed programs on my phone before without a glitch.
    My steps so far: downloaded Reader 2.0 for PPC 2003 to my PC. Connected my phone via ActiveSync. Double clicked on the icon and followed the instructions. My phone asks me if I want to install and I press "yes". It then tells me that this pr0ogram is not intended for this device.
    Any help or ideas?

    What is the specific IPAQ Voice Messenger model number that you have? The hw6900? Can you confirm that you have a pocket pc (touch screen) and not a smartphone (no touch screen)?
    If you have a pocket pc and have already attempted to install the software to your device with no success, you can find a .CAB file on your computer that you can copy to your pocket pc and install from there. See this link for more information about how to do this:
    http://frommypocket.pocketprimer.com/2008/01/11/adobe-reader-for-pocket-pc.aspx
    If you have a Smartphone, then you will not be able to install Adobe Reader for Pocket PC to your device.

  • Install problem for Tiger from 10.4.11 to 10.4.

    Hello, I am trying to install the update from 10.4.11 to 10.4.9 so I can use Final Cut 6.0 without going to Leopard yet.
    Requirements seem to suggest I can do this, however when I go to install I get the message that my drive -"volume does not meet the requirements for this update".
    Any help?

    HI Russell,
    As Klaus1 mentioned, you are already good to go with 10.4.11.
    Here are some links you might like to check out for tips and tutorials for FCPro6:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/
    Since video files can increase in size fast, keep an eye on your available disk space. Select your MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, press Command + I which will prompt your Get Info window. Click the General tab. You will see Available and Capacity. Don't allow your free drive space to fall below 15% of the total drive.

  • "Repair disk permissions" fixed install problem for me.

    First time trying to install SL I got nothing. No windows opened, no error messages, no nothing. The system just looked at me like I was stupid.
    After a good nights sleep I ran "repair disk permissions." It repaired a bunch of files (how did THAT happen???) and ran installer for SL again.
    Worked perfectly!!! Gained a whopping 19.945 gig of HD space. YIKES!!!

  • Install problems for Reader X on Windows XP

    It begins to install, but says that it needs to update some files that are in use. Says to close the files (always internet explorer) and click retry. I close all open programs and click retry and it won't get past it.... continues to say its open. Also, now I can't view PDFs online, and when I try to print a PDF it says that the document can not be printed and that there wasn't any pages selected to print.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    After some more leg work, I found the answer...
    I restarted my computer without any drivers running and in VGA mode. I then downloaded Adobe 10. Restarted with drivers running and viola! It works!

  • Installing problem for Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium

    I am getting an error message requesting I close Internet Explorer.  I have closed the program but the error message remains.  Any suggestion on how to remove this error mesage?  I have uninstalled Internet Explorer.  I do not want to start the installation process over from the beginning.   Thanks

    Terminate the process in task manager. You cannot uninstall IE fully, that's simply a technical impossibility since it's integrated in many Windows functions.
