Installing the OS on R100
I have a R100 which needed a new hard drive. Got it, installed It. I have the recovery CD's. How do I install the OS. The computer will not recognize the CD drive that I have.
TIA Dean
Hi,
I would guess that you were trying to boot from a USB drive. If that is the case, then you will need to do a little bit of extra work as highlighted here (http://electronicrandomness.blogspot.com/2008/02/toshiba-portege-r100-upgrade-and.html), since the R100 (or the Portégé 2000) cannot boot from a USB drive. The alternative is to get a drive with a PCMCIA/ATAPI interface (such as the Port-Noteworthy NW24XCD CD drive), which should be recognized by the R100. I guess something like this (http://www.amadvance.com/PCMCIA-External-Drive/CD-ROM/PCMCIA-external-24x-CD-p6016198.html) might work as well.
It would be interesting to know if there are any PCMCIA/ATAPI to USB cables which you might use with any USB drive, but I haven't found one.
Good luck!

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
Thanks in advance.Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. (…) | Mylen…

I have a brand new HP dv8t laptop that is straight from the manufacturer 2 days ago.
Last night, I attempted to download and installed the latest version of Firefox. After installing, it worked great for an hour or so (3.4 different sessions).
Then, this morning when I came back to the computer, Firefox crashes at startup and gives me the option of finding a solution online or quitting the program.
How aggravating!
I have installed this same version on 2 other computers that I own, without any issue.
I have attempted to uninstall Firefox from the dv8 and reinstalling, to no avail.
I cannot find the crash report, but I do this see this message once the app crashes:

Please help! I cant stand iE anymore and I'm so lost without Firefox!You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side. -

Apple support had not responded to my requests for clarification. The update corrupted both ITunes and Office Outlook mobileme. The error message when I tried to start up I Tunes was Error 7 Windows 193. I un installed I Tunes and re installed the latest ver and encountered the same error message. I finally did a system restore. Was this a one time problem or is the update bad. In over 30 years I'd never had a problem with any Apple update.
Hi Lutacrew,

Most of the songs on my iPod Classic no longer show up on iTunes on my laptop. I deleted iTunes & installed the latest version but this did not change anything. For example on 1 playlist I have 66 songs but only 1 shows on the iTunes screen. Thanks you for any help.

I received the new update from Itunes and after installing, I couldnt get into my Itunes. I get a message from Windows saying that an MC file is missing and to reinstall I tunes. I have reinstalled 3 times, the first time I didn't remove the old version, I installed the update over it. Next I tried the repair function under Control Panel. After that, I uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled again from the website. I still get the same message about missing files from Windows.

My 2006 MBP 15" has now been erased. How do I install the system again
Because I was having problems with my 2006 MBP 15 " - sudden freezing up, I tried several ways of fixing it all without success.
Eventually, I was forced into erasing the 500 GB harddrive completely using DU from the install disks (Tiger) that came with it
and had hoped I could re-install the system afresh from the original disks.
On start up all I get is the "Welcome page" again and it repeats itself continually. If i select any thing the spinning beach ball
occurs and a forced shutdown is required.
Everytime I do an install, I get to a "welcome page" and go thru the usual entering of details etc. but every time after I get to
clicking on "continue", when setting up ownership/address, I get a spinning beachball and can get no further.
This continually repeats itself and If i select any thing the spinning beach ball occurs and a forced shutdown is required.
I've tried starting up from an external drive with a firewire cable, but again nothing constructive happens, but I do get a popup saying
it can't find my "home folder as its not in the right place or its missing completely"
Using DU I have tried to do a restore but some how I'm unable to select either the source or the destination - its either all
or nothing available in the side bar of DU.
It seems to me that whatever I do on the MBP I get the spinning ball and no further - even leaving it for a couple of hours -
and still spinning.
Can anyone suggest ways of doing an install, please.
Does it look terminalto you?The external drive is a bootable one done with SuperDuper.
I am able to do a startup with it but then I get that window saying home folder is missing etc.
Surely i should be able to install the Op/System using the original disks that came with it, or will they only work if there is something on the H/D to start with. I completely erased it to start withj.
I've just found an Install disk for Tiger I bought in 2006 - perhaps that might work or not. -
I installed the new version thinking it would be the same, It was horrible! uninstalled it... Installed the older version and now it won't open and when I try it says it can't because the library can't open because it was used on a newer version. Come on! I just want my music! How do I open this and get my music back.
I put my Ipod in and it still says the same thing, what's going on? Please help me!I don't know whom to thank first-- b noir for telling me about the Lorraine fix or Lorraine for figuring out the fix. THE LORRAINE FIX WORKED FOR ME!!! (I feel a little like I am advertising "Hooked on Phonics" with that last line!)
Thank you doesn't say it strongly enough, but THANK YOU b noir and Lorraine for your help. I was to the boiling point last night and starting to get there tonight. Now I am resting easy and thankful that there is a community of computer users out there who care enough to troubleshoot problems together and work together to figure out a solution--and then to take the time to post and share information.
I would STRONGLY suggest that anyone who is having the iTunes issues where iTunes just plain won't open at all after downloading the newest version and has a pc with Norton Internet Security 2005 try the "Lorraine Method."
I am so happy I think I might sing. Or not--I will let my songs on iTunes do the singing for me now that I can again!!!!!!!
And to those still looking for answers--be patient--I now know how incredibly frustrating this can be and I hope that you all find your solutions very very soon!!

i just tried to install the 11.4 update (or whichever one is the most recent update as of 1/26/2014) and when it failed i tried to install manually and now whenever i try to use it, i get the following error: "The application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Right after i click ok i then get this error: "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I tried to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall the 11.03 version but that didnt work either. I want to know if i copy all of the music in my itunes folder to an external without consolidating can i still transfer all my itunes music from my current windows xp pc to a brand new one and have my current itunes library in my new pc? Basically i just want to know 3 things: What exactly does consolidating the itunes library do? Can i copy, paste, and transfer my itunes library to an external and from there to a new pc? Will i be able to transfer my itunes library without consolidating the files?
I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed. It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4). Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html The previous version works beautifully.

I Get a panic we are hanging error when trying to install the os on a new hard drive on a G5
Yes, the hard drive needs to be formatted and OS X must then be installed.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
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. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
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 Security 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 can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. Quit Disk Utility and return to the installer. Proceed with the OS X installation.
It's only a lost cause when nothing else works. -
I got new hard driver for my MacBook I don't have the cd but I do have flash drive that has the software I need help because when I turn on my laptop it shows me a file with question mark how can I install the software from the flash driver?
Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

On September 24, I got a message from the App Store saying there was an update of the Operating System on my MacBookPro laptop - OS X 10.9.5 - once I updated it, I got a message saying that there was an error in the update and that it did not install properly and that I should re-install the update. I have no idea how to do this. Can anyone help me?
You can manually download the Combo update if in doubt of the integrity of the OS 10.9.5
install on top of what you have, backups are always a good idea.

DVD player 5.4 keeps crashing. I have seen here that a number of other people have had this problem. I recently started one DVD, and when I went back to it, it opened to a black screen twice. It also crashes with other DVDs after I scroll ahead or back. It gives an error message that it is skipping damaged areas, or sometines error 69889. Playing this on a PC, however, there is no problem. I repaired the permissions, verified the disc, and installed the OS 10.6.8 combo update, all to no avail. Techs told me that it is usually the hardware, so I bought a LaCie external combo drive. Still crashes. Looked on Apple downloads and they don't list a 5.4 to replace this version. Mac informer.com offers a free download for DVD 5.5- should I try this? Why doesn't Apple fix this problem?
Your suggestions did not help. I repeated them again after the first try did not succeed. Any other ideas?
Would installing another copy of DVD 5.4 help? How can I get another copy of DVD player 5.4, since Apple does not seem to offer it? I do have the disc for Snow Leopard, but am not extremely tech savy (and maybe it is the same corrupted version).
