Instructions in previuos thread

Hi, I am following the instructions from http://wiki.shellprompt.net/bin/view/Apex/ThemeTips.
1. I have copied the theme_4 images directory to theme_100 in the images directory as defined by my /i/ alias in the apache conf file.
I am stuck at point 2 -
where is the location of CSS files for this theme
Thanks.

Replacing pictures in theme..
Themes to be modified by Designer.
Needing help in changing themes guys..
This is the fourth thread that you've started about this subject. I would suggest that you choose one and stick with it.
I'm going to return to my previous question (from your first post): Are you just trying to replace the images in your theme with new images, or are you trying to create an entirely new theme?

Request for key-logger check -- followed instructions from old threads

Hi everyone,
This is my first post on this site. I've become worried about malware installed on my computer (credit card info was stolen last week). After reading several related posts I am hopeful that I don't actually have a key-logger installed on my computer (since I don't think anyone around me installed malicious software, and it seems unlikely a website could install it without my consent), but I would like to be sure.
I have followed instructions posted by Linc, and generated this output in terminal:

I've found several other threads with different suggestions for rooting out and eliminating key-loggers. Is this step (above) sufficient, or is there more I should do? I just read stuff on the flashback virus (on this forum) and followed some Terminal prompts. I don't think I have it, but I do think I'm getting paranoid now.
Thanks

There are many, many possible ways for your credit card number to get stolen. Malware on your Mac, while possible, is the most unlikely. So unlikely that I would not consider it without a good reason.
As to the question of how to detect a keylogger... that's very difficult. You can detect known malware fairly easily, with a good anti-virus program. However, no current Mac malware incorporates a keylogger. Most includes a backdoor of some kind, which could be used by a hacker to install a keylogger remotely, if you were infected. Alternately, someone malicious with physical access to your computer could also install a keylogger.
Here's the issue... when you have someone consciously installing a keylogger on your machine, you can't really ever be sure you've detected it. It could be disguised as something legit. It could even replace a system component. Someone with a lot of experience might be able to locate the keylogger, using various methods. You could try to install something like Little Snitch, to intercept any transmissions that software might make... but if someone's already got a backdoor (or physical access) allowing them to install a keylogger, what's to stop them from disabling Little Snitch?
Bottom line, there's really no reason to believe you have a keylogger on your Mac. However, if you should, at some point in the future, become convinced that you have a keylogger, the only true solution will be to erase the hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch.

Question on synchronized method / block and Thread Cache

Hi all,
I came across a blog post at http://thejavacodemonkey.blogspot.com/2007/08/making-your-java-class-thread-safe.html which is talking about making Java classes thread safe. But, I was surprised to see that a thread can have my class' instance variable in its cache. Also, I have couple of questions on the things posted in the blog. I want to get the opinion from Java experts here.
1. Given the example class
class MyClass{
     private int x;
     public synchronized void setX(int X) { this.x = x; }
     public synchronized int getX() { return this.x; }
Having the following instructions in two threads won't guarantee that it will print 1 and 2 as other thread can get the slot and call setX to modify the value - Am I right?
obj is an MyClass Instance available to both the threads
Thread 1:
obj.setX(1);
System.out.println(obj.getX());
Thread 2:
obj.setX(2);
System.out.println(obj.getX());
It will print 1 and 2 (in any order) only if I synchronize these calls on "obj" as follows - Is my understanding correct or ???
Thread 1:
synchronized(obj)
obj.setX(1);
System.out.println(obj.getX());
Thread 2:
synchronized(obj)
obj.setX(2);
System.out.println(obj.getX());
2. If my understanding on point 1 (given above) is right, What the blog-post says is wrong as I cannot even expect my thread 1 to print 1 and thread 2 to print 2. Then, again a question arises as why a thread cache has a object's instance variable value in its cache and need to make my instance variable volatile. Can anyone explain me in detail? Won't the thread always refer the heap for Object's instance variable value?
Thanks in advance,
With regards,
R Kaja Mohideen

your basic understanding (as far as i can understand what you've written) seems to be correct. if you run your first 2 threads, you can get "11", "12", "21", or "22" (ignoring newlines). if you run your second 2 threads, you can get "12" or "21".
i'm not sure i follow your second point about your thread's "cache". i think you are asking about the visibility of changes between threads, and, no, there is not concept of a shared "heap" in the memory model. basically, (conceptually) each thread has its own working memory, and it only shares updates to that memory when it has to (i.e. when a synchronization point is encountered, e.g. synchronized, volatile, etc). if every thread was forced to work out of a shared "heap", java on multi-core systems would be fairly useless.

Error creating Service Desk Message in Satellite System

Hi all
We have two satellite system from which I want to create a Support Message. With my current profile/role and can do it from one system and not from the other system. I get "Error in local message system, message xxx not complete". I dont think it is an Authotization fault, but not sure.
How should the Number ranges be setup for more than one satellite system?
Thanx
Jaco Snyman

Hi Tina
This was my answer in a previuos thread:
Hi all
I also struggled with this for 2 weeks. But the problem is fixed.
Do your "normal: config from the IMG and then:
1) Make sure that you have selected for the system NOT to check for the User in SolMan
tr: DNO_CUST04, Go to Detail, Select the field NO_USER_CHECK, "X", this is very important, otherwise you will have to create a username for everyone on the satellite system... far too timeconsuming.
2) In your satellite system under OSS_MSG: Col1:Application: OSS_MSG, Col2: + : W. Col3: RFC Destination: SM_"SOLMANRFC"_BACK. Col4: + : CUST620. COl5: + : 1.0
In the Solman side you maintain Col3 as "NONE".
3) Make sure that ALL users in the satellite system has the following roles: SAP_SUPPDESK_CREATE and SAP_SV_FDB_NOTIF_BC_ADMIN.
4) Make sure that you have TRUSTED RFC to and from your Satellite system and Solution Manager.
The main one to be sure of is: SAP_ALL for all SOLMANxxx user in the Solution Manager system for every satelite system, because the standard roles from SAP does not work.
This should have your Service Desk Messaging working.

K9N Platinum SLI - Powering up the PCIe cards

Hey everyone,
I've got a K9N Platinum SLI board. This board has a power supply input point called PWR2, which according to the documentation is used to provide power to stable the operation of graphics cards. My graphic card is BFG nVidia 9750 GT. This card has the PCI-Express external power plug in the back, and my power supply has a dedicated (red) connector for this purpose, which I have attached properly.
The PWR2 is currently connected also, into one of the black 12V connectors. Otherwise, everything is running fine and smooth, but I am sometimes (once a day or so) experiencing random shutdowns during intense gaming (playing LotRO). Stress testing does not cause a shutdown: I've ran 3D Mark 2007 straight for 8-9 hours, while having a CPU Burner application toast the CPU at the same time. But no problems whatsoever. No other games exhibit this problem either.
Since I am providing dedicated power through the extra connector at the back of the card, should I leave the PWR2 connector unplugged ? Is there a chance that using these two connectors at the same time causes the 12V rail to overload, and the PSU shuts down to protect itself ? When this shut down occurs, the power LED is left blinking and I need to plug out the wall socket and wait for several minutes before the blinking stops and it starts up again.
My computer has an Enermax Liberty 620W power supply, and AMD Athlon X2 4600+ CPU. So there should be enough juice, at least. I've tried the tips and tricks suggested here. Using USB-connected Keyboard and Mouse does not correct the issue. I've also verified that this is not an overheating issue. My CPU is cooled by a Scythe Ninja tower heatsink and two 12 cm fans. It is possible that the northbride is heating up (it burns the finger on touch when under load), but from the Web, I've understood that the stock passive heatsink should be enough, and that the NB chip can take rather extreme temperatures.
* UPDATE *
Plugged the PWR2 connector out from the MB, and update the BIOS to 1.10. It's working as usual, but haven't ran any games yet. Heavy gaming usually reproduces the issue, so I'll write more when I know more.

Updated information on the case.
I've been running 2 days now with the PWR2 unplugged. I have had zero problems with shutdowns since. The only problem I now have is that the USB keyboard and mouse refuse to work in Windows XP after an initial bootup from powered down state. I have to unplug and replug them at the login screen in order to get them work again.
So, I decided to do a final sanity check, and replugged the PWR2, then went gaming. After 2 hours of playing, my computer shutted down for the first time. Plugging in the cable did not solve the USB problem either.
As of this day, I'm leaving it unplugged. It seems like an irrelevant connector, which just causes problems.
** Update **
After following Bosskiller's instructions on another thread about using the "Clear CMOS" button and then reconfiguring BIOS from scratch, the cold boot USB issues were solved. The USB devices now work straight after a cold boot, with no need to replug them.
I recommend that the PWR2 -connector info is added to the list of known problems in the sticky thread. If you have a GPU card which takes its power from a dedicated rail (and your PSU has a dedicated connector for this purpose), then leaving the PWR2 -connector unplugged might resolve your shutdown issues, like it solved mine.
After all, according to the manual, this connector is used to give more voltage to the PCI and PCIe busses, and some PCI/PCIe cards might not like this idea at all. There is a reason why these cards have an additional power plug on them...

TS1717 Started a software update this morning which didn't work. Now Itunes will not open at all. I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

Started a Itunes software update this morning which didn't work. Now Itunes will not open at all. I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

There are a couple of options that I know of to fix the issue.
One is listed in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24606478#24606478 - and involves uninstalling iTunes and related components and then re-installing iTunes. You will need to read the instructions in the thread to see the correct uninstall order.
Second option is use System Restore to set your system back to a date prior to the iTunes update. I did this before finding the thread mentioned above.
Not sure exactly what the problem is but I know, after a search, that MSVCR80.dll was indeed already installed on my computer.

Vista itunes not installed correctly. Error 7. Windows error 998. Itunes helper not installed correctly. Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Insufficient privileges.

OK, spent about 25 frustrating hours so far this weekend doing everything recommended on numerous threads here -- uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and all Apple items. Help?
I am using Windows Vista home premium. After the last iTunes update to 12, it suddenly would not work. I followed, to a T, all instructions to uninstall all Apples software, in the correct order, reboot, download the latest iTunes, run as administrator, plug in the iPhone 5S, let the driver install, and then finish.
Along the way, I received the error that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I am the administrator and have privileges. (I previously followed instructions from anther thread to change the read-only privileges for Apple folders, but to no avail. I also deleted every file with the word Apple in it after I uninstalled everything.) I did a retry and then an ignore during installation of the AMD error, which I have received 10 times.
The other error I keep getting is: "iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7." I have done that 20 times.
Other frequent error: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 998)."
I followed other threads suggestions to install Windows .NET versions 3.5 and 4.0. No help. I also looked for various specific Apple files in various folders for DLLs, etc. Not present. I have rebooted 50 times and tried different users on my home account as well. Nothing.
I also followed instructions to Manage my computer under "services." Under Apple Mobile Device, the setting is for "automatic." When I try to get it to "start," the error I receive is "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." (I followed previous thread instructions to use the CMD prompt to stop it. That caused problems because the status was then "stopped," but I was able to restart it later once I figured that out -- but with the 1053 error again.)
I think I've tried every suggestion in every thread for the four errors I keep getting (AMD failed to start; iTunesHelper Error 7; Windows error 998; and AMD Error 1053.) I am fresh out of ideas and very frustrated. I mostly want to make sure I don't lose my music and photos, which I was about to sync.
The only other thing I see that is strange on my computer (which I discovered along the way) is that I cannot receive automatic windows updates and have not had an update since 2012. My iTunes worked a month ago, so that was obviously not a show-stopper in the past, but perhaps there is a Vista update I need for iTunes 12? I have service pack 2 for Vista. I have followed all threads to try to set my windows to automatic update, but no joy there either. It checks for updates and then fails. I followed instructions and did run an installation to install windows automatic updates, but that doesn't work either. I tried 10 times. It runs and takes a while, but is never able to successfully update windows. It says "checking for updates" for a while. Then it dies. My last update was 6/19/12 (failed) and it says the most recent check was 6/22/12, but I have tried 20 times on 10/31/14 and 11/1/14.
When asked to "Install new Windows Update software" to check for updates, I have done so 10 times. It downloads and installs, but never works.
It's an old Dell desktop computer from 2006, and I'm using an iPhone 5S. I am fresh out of ideas. Anyone really smart here?
Thanks.
Tristan

Upon latest reboot, I also received this error message: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the application."
Then I got the iTunesHelper not installed correctly error again.
Then the "Windows can't check for updates" error message.
Then "Apple Push has stopped working." Then a quick DEP error message that disappeared but said something about Apple Push being closed.
I'm also getting denials of service logged by McAffee. Not sure if I'm getting a virus/attack or not.
Not sure if it's a problem with my old desktop machine, my Windows Vista updates, or iTunes, but I'm very frustrated and out of ideas to try.
Thank you for your help!
Tristan

PDF won't print to Epson 545

PDFs (Adobe Reader 10.1.4) will not print to my Epson 545 from my Mac (OS 10.6.8). Other apps print fine, only Adobe won't, and it provides a printer error "err number 13", which seems to mean there is no paper (there is paper tho' - lots). I've followed instructions from other threads for other Epson models but to no avail. Any one got a solution? Thanks.

You're Welcome Gari!
The driver on the disc may be outdated. Did you uninstall the older driver before trying to install the newer, downloaded one?
If nothing else resolves the problem, and you need help doing that, I can post the instructions.
"...stating that there is not enough RAM."
OS X uses Dynamic Memory Allocation, so I am puzzled that you are getting that message.
What is the exact error message?
How much of the RAM is original, and how much is added?
Is Classic running when you are trying to print?
Do the printers function from any applications, other than Photoshop?
You can also use Rember to test your RAM.
"My ibook is more than happy to print to both printers..."
Are you printing from Photoshop with the iBook?
Have you deleted the printers from the Printer List in Printer Setup Utility, and then re-added them?
Have you trashed the printer & Photoshop pref files from:
HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Preferences: HERE?
Sorry for all of the questions. I'm just trying to explore all of the possibilities, to get a better understanding of the situation.

Print multiple photos on 1 sheet

I am trying to print 4 photos on a single 5x7 photo sheet. Print Package seems to be totally unusable.
I select 3 photos and can't position them on the screen
I select a 4th photo and it positions it on a 2nd sheet
I can't resize a photo by clicking the image and adjusting the size (like most other windows packages)
If I move a photo it seems to change format from landscape to portrait
I set Printer settings to 5x7 Glossy but whatever option I chose in 'Select a Layout' gives me a message saying The layout selected is larger than paper size - eventhough they're both set to 5x7.
If I select a photo and try and move it, it just duplicates the image somewhere else on the print page - and doesn't let me delete it or undo
I have selected 5x7 paper size and Layout 5x7 (4) but the review screen still doesn't show 4 photos positioned logically.
This task should take 5 minutes - I am now quitting after nearly 2 hours - which included reading many community issues of people trying to do this simple task and clearly having the same problems I have.

This seems like a flaw in the program. In a good tool you could just print the four 5x7's and not have to mess with this garbage. Are you listening Adobe?????
I really don't like to see this thread degenerate into an exercise in polemics. PSE has a picture package layout, but the default is limited. However, it is relatively easy to tailor additional layouts to one's needs. You will find instructions in this thread:

Trouble with install disks - is it OK to make a copy of them?

Finally, I am trying to make a copy of the install disks that came with my MBP. This was recommended in several threads for preserving the original and having backups just in case.
I used Disk Utility to make a disk image - choosing DVD/CD master, no encryption - as I was instructed on another thread. I made the disk images fine of the 2 disks - they are now saved as disk images in the .cdr format. While I was at it, I made a disk image of the TechTool Deluxe CD that came with my AppleCare.
When I inserted a CD (and then I tried a DVD) into the slot to Burn the disk image of the first (and then the second) install disk, I got the message that there is not enough room on the disk I am trying to use (for either disk). I had no trouble burning a disk of the TechTool Deluxe - I did that on a CD.
When I go to Get Info for the disk image for the 2 install disks, it looks like each is no larger than 5 plus GB, which seems strange.
What am I doing wrong?
Mrs H

When you make images of the discs, it is compressed. So when you get info of the image, that is smaller than the actual disc size. You said disc two was 3.97gb but really uncompressed it is likely over 6GB. For both install discs one and two, you need dual-layer DVDs to burn.
Thanks for your help, mdpeterman.
I wondered about the compressed issue - but since I chose CD/DVD master, (from Disk Utility Help: "If you want to use the disk image with a third-party application, choose CD/DVD master. The disk image contains a copy of all sectors of the disk, whether they're used or not, and copies them to other CDs or DVDs bit for bit") with no encryption I assumed that the size of the disk image was identical to the original.
What you say tells me I'm wrong - that even with DVD master bit for bit, the image is compressed. Right?
I'll get back to you when I have solved this...

No longer able to print from wireless MacBook Pro to wired C7280

I originally piggy-backed this onto an existing thread thinking that it was the same issue. It looks like it was something else now, so I figured I probably ought to spin this off onto its own thread.
Details:
Printer: Photosmart C7280 All-in-One, connected to network via Ethernet, IP address 192.168.1.5 (confirmed with Network Menu > View Network Settings > Display Wired Summary)
Router: Verizon/Actiontec MI424-WR (Verizon FiOS) with
* Ethernet ports
* 802.11b and 11g with WPA encryption
Desktop: iMac with Mac OS 10.5.8, Ethernet connection. I originally installed the HP software from the CD when we got the 7280 a few years ago, but we've probably upgraded it since then.
My Laptop: MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.5.8, wireless connection. I think the HP software was originally downloaded from hp.com (as opposed to the original CD).
Wife's Laptop: MacBook with Mac OS 10.6.3, wireless connection. HP software downloaded from hp.com.
We've been able to print from the laptops to the 7280 until several days ago. After that, anything sent from the laptops stayed on the printer queue without any reaction from the printer, even after the usual tricks (cycling power on printers, holding and unholding jobs, pausing and unpausing printers, etc.)
Our laptops seem to lose the wireless connection a bit more frequently than normal, and at first I thought that was the problem. Lately, however, I can't get anything to print even when the wireless connection stays solid. I can print from the iMac, though.
As noted above, my wife's MacBook has 10.6.3, so I'll try the instructions on other threads for uninstalling the HP software and using the built-in 10.6 drivers. If I can pry the MacBook away from my wife long enough :-)
Meanwhile, I've been trying to troubleshoot my own MacBook Pro. I can ping 192.168.1.5, and I can pull up the printer's web page by entering "192.168.1.5" in my web browser.
So I followed the instructions here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam e=c01893662&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&c...
(title: Mac OS X: Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue and Will Not Print on a Networked Product)
I followed Solution 1 (Delete and readd printer) until I got to steps 7 and 8. The printer wasn't automatically added to the Printers list, so I clicked the Add button, but wasn't able to select my printer from the list. Some of the information in Solution 2 seemed to hint that I had a connectivity problem, and suggested that I look for network connectivity solutions. Unfortunately, all of the network connectivity FAQs referred to Windows-specific utilities, so I decided to uninstall the HP software (using HP Uninstaller). I downloaded HP_Installer_PSC7200_v9.7.1.dmg from hp.com and ran it, but here's what happened:
At the Select Device step, no devices appeared even though the printer was powered up and on the network. (As noted earlier, I can ping it.) I checked "My device is not listed" and clicked Continue; when "Photosmart C7200 series" appeared, I selected it.
At the "Select the Device Connection" subset, I selected "Network." (The "device" in this question is the printer--right?)
I went through the Install step.
No device was listed at the Setup step. I handled this the same way as the Select Device step ("My device is not listed", Continue, click "Photosmart C7200 series", Continue, select "Network", Continue.
This time, I got this dialog: "If your device is not listed, it is not supported by this installer. Please visit www.hp.com/support to download an installer, if one is available" even though this was the correct installer for C7200 and Mac 10.5.
Am I overlooking something? What should I try next?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It appears that the printer is OK and is on the network. Eventually you may want to set a static IP address for it, but let's get things working first.
The first thing I would try would be to reset the printing system on all the problem Macs:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If this does not do it there may be something going on with the router. I have a few ideas if this is required. Let me know.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Apps won't sync from computer to iPhone

Hi there,
Earlier this week, I followed the instructions in this thread:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
...to change my sync computer from my iMac to my Macbook. It seemed to work okay. I can connect my iPhone 6 to iTunes, it syncs photos and contacts and I transferred my iPhone apps to my Macbook via the instructions in the thread above. Today I downloaded app updates on my Macbook and downloaded a new app. I then connected my iPhone to it, and it began the sync process (backup, sync contacts etc.) but it didn't go to the next step which is to transfer the latest app updates and the new app to my phone. It just finishes, nothing else.
Any ideas as to why this may be occurring and how I can resolve this? My iTunes is authorised to use purchases on the same account that my iPhone is using.
Thanks.

My wife's iPhone had the same issue, and I found the ultimate solution for it. But first, let me describe the problem in detail.
My wife used to buy apps on her iPhone, but recently she bought a couple of apps on iTunes. So to sync them to iPhone back, she connected the iPhone to her Mac. But "Applications" tab of her iPhone appeared in iTunes didn't show the apps she bought on her iPhone, but showed only the apps she recently bought on iTunes. When she tried to sync anyway by checking "Sync Applications" checkbox in iTunes, she got the following popup message:
"Are you sure you want to sync applications? All existing applications and their data on the iPhone <my wife's iPhone name> will be replaced with applications from this iTunes library."
I am not sure exactly when this happens, because I have never experienced such a problem with my iPhone and Mac. But I can say for sure that it sometimes happens as in my wife's case.
I saw a bunch of postings in this Apple Discussions saying that the only solution is to sync iPhone and iTunes, have the apps on iPhone replaced with apps on iTunes, and then finally re-download apps that were previously bought on iPhone. But there is much easier way.
My solution is this: from iTunes menu, select "File > Transfer Purchases from <your iPhone name>" while iPhone is connected. Then the apps purchased on iPhone are transferred to iTunes, and now you have all apps (bought on either iPhone or iTunes) listed in iTunes!

Help with 11i E-Business Suite Install on Windows XP

I've tried unsuccessfully to install the E-Business Suite on Windows XP machine. I repeatedly get the following message during the install (I start from a clean restored environment each time) " RW-20001 Error: Unzip failed: Insufficient disk space: Please create enough space for the intstall". I get this message even though I have only used 100GB of a total of 500GB. I'm installing from DVDs provided by Oracle.
I also get an error message related to the "Listener". The detail of this message is included below.
Any suggestions to get past this would be appreciated.
Question on the Domain Name Configuration:
When i follow the instructions from a previous thread and do
C:\ipconfig I get the following:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix: PMSC.COM
IP Address : 192.168.0.103
I added PMSC.COM per the instructions in the thread.
The original entry in the host file was:
127.0.0.01 localhost
It is now:
127.0.0.01 localhost
127.0.0.01 localhost.PMSC.COM
I'm trying to set this up as a standalone installation with everything on the harddrive of this computer. I'm confused as to what the correct host entry should be and if this is the cause of my intallation failures. I can provide as much information as possible to help diagnose my probelms. Thanks.
The only error messages I can find in the log files show a problem with the Listener. The error message is as follows:

1. Make sure the user installing the apps has admin priviledges
2. Create a staging area from the DVD if you can - since you have so much space on your system, then attempt the installation from the staging area. The perl script to use is already on the DVD - adautostg.pl
3. > Connection-specific DNS Suffix: PMSC.COM
     IP Address : 192.168.0.103
and you added
     127.0.0.01 localhost.PMSC.COM, I feel it should have been
     192.168.0.103 localhost.PMSC.COM ( if localhost is your server name. Adding this will nto affect anything)
although I can see from your log file, that the server name is pmsc_main, if so you have to add the servername.domainname.com to the host file too, such as
     192.168.0.103 pmsc_main.pmsc.com.
Essentially, when you ipconfig, it has to return pmsc_main.pmsc.com against the IP address of your server - i.e. 192.168.0.103 and / or 127.0.0.01
Basically, see the following threads:

Note: To clean your system of previous installations, see the following if you have metalink -
Note 107961.1 How To Clean Out A Previous Oracle Applications Installation On Windows NT,
however, if you dont have access to metalink, do the labour of deleting every reference to the failed installations on your system and the registry (CAREFUL! if you are up to it)

Upgraded to Mavericks and installed new iphoto but can't get iphoto to work

I have not been able to open my iphoto library with the current version after installing Mavericks and purchasing/installing iphoto 9.5
Here's the system info: iMac (from Dec. 2007)
2.8 GHz Core duo
4 GB SDRAM
OS X 10.9.1 (as of yesterday)
Iphoto 08 (7.1.5) lived on a network drive ( Lacie cloud drive) shared between a pc and a mac.
Upgraded to 9.5 yesterday
I used time machine backup before installing Mavericks and proceeded to try to upgrade iphoto. However, I did not make a backup of my system after this installation and before I installed the new iphoto. Does Time machine backup iphoto files located on a network drive? Does it matter that the backup was made with snow leopard and not Mavericks?
I followed instructions on a thread indicating that iphoto Library upgrader 1.1 should be used to prepare my old library prior to opening with iphoto 9.5.
When I double-clicked the upgrader it gave me this message:
Your library can open with the current version of iPhoto and does not need to be prepared with this tool.
I noticed that the iphoto icon has already changed from orange to blue.
OK- great! So I go to the freshly installed iphoto and try to open my library and get this message:
The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
Alright, so I click the upgrade button and I get the beachball of death for about 15 minutes and then see a message that says:
Examining photo library- Examining with the beachball of death goes on for another 10 minutes and then iphoto just crashes and closes.
Back to searching through threads- Ah- try option + cmd while opening iphoto to rebuild the database but then get this message AGAIN:
The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
And so, the cycle continues....
After reading through a few other discussion I discovered that the iphoto library should have been on a drive formated as Mac OS extended (journaled)
So- I format an external harddrive as Mac OS extended (journaled) and proceed to copy the iphoto library (234 GB) onto the external harddrive and after about 30 minutes I received this message:
The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “iPhoto Library” already exists. I click OK and everything stops and shuts down.
Is it possible to get rid of Mavericks and go back to my original iphoto 08 using the time machine backup? If so, should I then use the upgrader before installing Mavericks and the new iphoto?
At this point I have no clue how to proceed. I am trying not to panic but this process is starting to drive me a little bananas and my brain is slowly, but surely, melting away.
Please help save my sanity. Please.
Thank you.

The problem is the library has been damaged from sitting on the Network Drive, and frankly, returning to the old OS won't change anything, nor will downgrading iPhoto. You're going to have this issue once you try and move the Library, or update it in any way, and - even if you stick with the old version of iPhoto, you're going to start having issues just saving edits, sharing and so on.
So, you're between a rock and a hard place.
I've no idea if TM backs up material on a NAS, but I do know that it can be set to back up externald rives. I'm somewhat surprised that you don't know, as this is your back up system that you created and the easiest route out of this situation. NOw there's only one way to find out.
So, my first effort would be to try restore the Library from TM to the correctly formatted drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4927?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
will help with that.
If that doesn't work or is not possible, your next effort is to try rebuild the Library to the correctly formatted drive:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
If that doesn't work, then you're recovering the masters from the Library and starting over from scratch.

After update Airport no longer works

Hey All,
I've had my PBG4 for over a year now and have a APE Base to go with it. About a month or so ago I ran the apple update program and walked away while all the programs were installing. Upon rebooting my laptop I no longer see my base station at all. The base station is located 4 inches from the laptop while I'm home. I do no remember which patches were installed at the time. I am assuming that it was an AirPort patch that is causing this issue but I can't tell it if it was the base station that upgraded or the airport card.
Currently I am cabled into the base station directly but I'd like to be able to go wireless so I can use the laptop around the house again.
Anyone got any info/ideas on this?
Also I'd revert back to an old version to test it out but I read in a couple of posts that you can't scale back.

Hi there BDAqua...
I used this Pacifist software and followed instructions on this thread, rebooted, nothing seemed to change. Repaired permissions, nothing changed... I thought, oh well! Maybe I'll go to my local (Warsaw Poland) Apple repair centre.
Sadly, I put my computer to sleep, about an hour later, opened it up with ethernet cable attached for internet, and noticed the wireless icon was now dark... lo and behold, clicked on it and my network was checked (this after having had my password "rejected" a million times before) and ... I carefully slipped the ethernet cable out of the socket... and I was still connected.
So my wireless is working again, since doing all that stuff (back to prior firmware version) but for the life of me I don't know why, since it didn't seem to be fixed immediately after all that tinkering and rebooting! Any thoughts?? Did I actually do something that fixed it (must be, since I finally fooled around with it after almost 3 weeks of no wireless) or was this just random??
This is far too un-Apple-ish, by the way! I was used to this with PCs, but first time I've ever had to get so technical with my Mac!
