Interested in Original Kin Two (not TwoM)
I would like to get an original Kin Two, not the TwoM. It needs to be in extremely good condition. I've been keeping an eye on eBay, but if anyone has any other sources, please let me know. Thanks!
Original TWO, huh? Welp. Craigslist/eBay might be your only hope for the hardware. If you want the SOFTWARE for the KIN TWO (not m model), here's how:
1. Get a TWOm.
2. Activate it.
3. Before you put ANYTHING on it, turn it off.
4. Hold R and B on the keyboard.
5. Turn on the power while holding R and B.
6. You will see it say "UPDATING MODEM-DON'T REMOVE BATTERY". Let it do the magic and reboot..
7. Enjoy KIN OS 1.0!

Same problem here. My Kin TwoM stopped working (I could hear callers but they could not hear me) so I purchased what I thought was a Kin TwoM from the internet. Turns out it was a Kin Two, not an "M". The phone actually works fine, but the software installed still links you to all of the Kin-related websites (The Spot, Loop, etc) that have been shut down for several years.
Is there really no way to "flash" the phone to upgrade the firmware to the "M" version so that it deletes all of those no longer functional features?
<Branched to a new discussion for more exposure.>
Message was edited by: Verizon ModeratorGood question GML42! The KIN TWO features do include the KIN LOOP, KIN SPOT and the KIN STUDIO. They are unable to be removed, and there isn't a software update to change or remove these features. Thanks for reaching out to us!

I recently bought a Kin Two off of amazon under the impression it was a kin twom. I don't consider it that big of a deal but is there any way to switch to kin twom software? Also, when i try to set up my phone using an email address it displays an error about not being able to connect to windows live ID service. Any way to remedy this?
Hello Sepukk75, I want to make sure that the device is setup the way you need it to be! There is not a way to change the software to make the system recognize the phone as the Kin TwoM. Have you already activated the phone on your account? Were you provided with options to add a data plan? Are you setting up a new Windows Live ID or trying to log in with an existing account? I am eager to hear back from you to confirm your device is up and running properly.
Thank You,

Hello!
Wondering if it was possible to activate the Kin Two without a data plan. I know that the Kin Twom does not require one, but the Kin Two was released as a smartphone (and the Kin Studio feature went down in late 2010, I think). I've gotten different answers from Customer Service about this, and I don't want to get a phone that has data required.
In other words, can I block data on the original Kin Two?Thanks SydneyK for the information. Yes, this is correct, if you activate the original KIN One or KIN Two you will need a data package of $29.99 or higher. You can block certain data features but will need the data package to remain on the line if you decide to activate the original KIN. The KIN Onem and KIN Twom does not require the $29.99 data package.

Kin two overlay software to convert to a kin twom
I just got a Kin Twoand would like to convert it to a Kin Twom. It is my understanding that the only difference between the two Kin Two phones is the software. My guess is that Verizon converted all of the Kin Two stock to Kin Twom and I would like to do the same. Anyone know how I can get this done? Thanks for your help.
It sounds like Zune cannot find something on your system it needs.
"Cannot find the media for installation package vista sp2 mbr update 0x80070002"
Would "SP2" be refering to A Service Pack? This might be a job for Zune support.
Just found this thread on a Zune forum..seems you are not alone in this. This is very recent and would be a good place to watch to see what the solutions ends up being.
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/zune/thread/6b2d9e7d-3400-44fe-8ee0-45eb7f36159f
At the very least this seems to be the place to get some help for the Zune software (I saw another questions on Microsoft suppport site, and they were directed t here to get some help) -
UPDATE:
When I went to the original thread today, I saw that it had kind of become a gripe thread against Verizon. All of that aside, I wanted to give an update on how the KIN is working for me after 2 or 3 weeks. I posted this exact write up on that thread but then thought that a lot of folks might not get past all of the other stuff. So I started a new thread too.
My first comment is : It's a free ZUNE player! That's my number 1 comment. I love it. I watch videos on it. I listen to audio books, podcasts and of course music. It's awesome and it was free!
Also, it's a pretty cool camera. I like the way you can zoom in and out with 2 fingers. Quality-wise, well, it's a cell phone after all. Pretty good but I have a good camera for when I need better. But I always have this one on me.
I really like it's ability to go on the web. On a device this small, it's mostly a time filler. Like if I'm waiting somewhere I might log on to the local network and check out the news or something. I did some ordering via Amazon and could check the status. I also followed my fantasy football team from time to time. The best results come from sites that have mobil pages.
And I can check my email. Although it doesn't like emails that include images. And I have yet to find an attachment that it will open. But I haven't been trying that hard. I have my laptop with me most of the time.
And as to the phone: it is not the most intuitive phone. Answering involves unlocking it. That works ok. But hanging up is a little strange if you try to do something before you actually hang up. You have to go back into the phone app and press End Call. So, REMEMBER! Press End Call before you do anything else. I like the dialer. The Favorite Contacts is pretty good because you get a direct link to it from the main screen. But looking up contacts is not the most straight forward. Mostly just a learning curve thing.
Text messaging: This phone is not good for text messaging for a couple reasons. First, I don't like the way you have to go to the contacts list to find the person you want to message to and then to choose to call or text them. With a normal phone you go to messaging and then add the person or a number. Seem more intuitive to me. But maybe that's 'cause I've been doing it that way for so many years. I'll be patient on this one. The fact that you can't erase a single text message without erasing ALL texts from that person might be annoying. I'm still undecided about this. Normal phones have a memory limit for texts. This one probably does too but with 8GB on board it's got to be A TON of texts so why erase? I dunno. I guess I haven't made up my mind about this yet.
But another reason I don't love texting on this phone, and it's a general complaint, this phone is ergonomically one of the worst devices I've ever used. It is hard to hold, hard to open and hard to close. The sides slope inwards giving your fingers little to no purchase. Weird! Did anyone at Verizon/ Microsoft actually try using this phone before they produced it?! It's not a deal breaker but it's a poor design. Too bad we can't find out the engineer's name so we could avoid his designs in the future.
Settings: classic Microsoft! You have one menu for volume and one menu for sounds on and off. Way too complicated for a simple function.
I could go on and on about lots of little details. After all, this is a pretty versatile device that spends most of it's time in my pocket. People have a relationship with their cellphones.
But after all is said and done, if I could change one thing and one thing only it would be the RECENT tab. This should be a HOME tab that gets you back to the main screen. A RECENT function saves you ZERO keystrokes! ZERO! As a matter of fact, it creates keystrokes because if you check to see if a function was recent and it WASN'T then you have to keep hitting the back key to get to the main menu. It would add at least 2 keystrokes. This was not well thought out. If the firmware ever was to be upgraded (my money says it won't EVER be upgraded) this is what I would change first.
So, overall, I like the phone. I don't make a lot of phone calls on my phone. Even if I did, the KIN works ok. As a texter, it's pretty well below average. Usable but far from ideal. But as a device to have in your pocket that does lots of different things, even if it doesn't do some of them very well... I'd do it again. I can't help but like this phone. I'm keeping it!Hi KinUser. I also just switched from a Voyager to the Kin TwoM. I find the Kin Two
fits very comfortably in my hand BUT...I don't think it's easy to slide open because of the slippery
plastics they used and no texture anywhere on the phone. In comparison, the Cosmos Touch slides open VERY
easily because they used a nice rubberized plastic. The solution to that though on the Kin, is a case (not
to mention the protection the case gives if you're like me and drop your phone quite often).
I have the Body Glove case on my Kin now, and the phone super easy to open with the Body Glove case because
the case is a nice texturized material. I took the case off after using it for a few days, and the Kin felt
even more slippery and hard to open after getting used to the feel of the case.
You might also find the case makes the phone feel better in your hands. It wasn't well thought out
when they chose the materials for the Kin.
I've had my Kin for exactly a week now, and like you KinUser,
I feel the pluses greatly outweigh the annoyances. I find it almost impossible to find a phone that
isn't lacking in in some area. For instance, I love the size of the Cosmos Touch. It's NICE and SMALL
compared to the Kin which is kind of bulky especially with a case...BUT... my main reason for not buying the
Cosmos Touch is the keyboard. They chose light blue letters on a silver background, and you have to hold
the phone different angles under certain lights to be able to see the letters on the keys well. Now why on earth
they chose that color combo for the keyboard is beyond me. Also, with the Cosmos Touch, the Keys are rather crowded.
I was playing with it in the Verizon store, and I was constantly mistyping words, which I rarely do on the Kin.
The Kins keyboard is easy to read, with nicely spaced out keys that are easy to hit without accidentally hitting the
key next to the one you want. I also love that they put such a nice big space bar, like on a real computer keyboard.
The only think they could have done better with the keyboard on the Kin, is to add a 4th row for numbers instead
of having to use the function key, but then that would have made the phone larger or they would have had to crowd the
keys. Guess you can't have it all. You don't realize how often you use numbers until you have to use the
function key. But I find that a minor annoyance, and it's something I'm getting used to. I do like the emoticon
key. I do know that the touch screen on my Voyager became useless after the phone aged, so I don't care that
I can't type on the front of the Kin. I HATED trying to type on the front of my voyager. I even hated having
to dial a phone number on the front of the Voyager. The Kin put a nice BIG dialer on the touch screen so you don't
accidentally hit the wrong phone number when you have to manually dial a number.
KeepOnSingn...thanks for the tip of holding the key down to get to the home screen. I hadn't stumbled across that
yet and haven't read the entire 100+ page manual. I was wishing for a way to go all the way back to the home screen.
As for some other things I love about the Kin.. Some people do not like the home screen on this phone and say
it's messy and cluttered. I LOVE how you don't have to go through several menus to get to something like in a lot of
phones including the voyager. Almost everything is accessible from the home screen. And yes, all of the
"Apps" are on the home screen with no spaces between anything, but I like it like that because you have a much larger
area for your finger when opening an app. And they chose icons that are easy to recognize, which isn't the case
on all phones. I have to say my favorite unexpected feature is the "favorites" contacts page
and how you can put photos of the people you text and call most. Instead of hunting for a name, it's so easy to choose
the contact when you see their photo on the page, and I love how their photo pops up with a bubble when they text you.
Might be the kid in me, but I find it really neat. if you're busy and you see a photo of someone pop up and you
know it can way till later, you don't even have to read the text.
I can deal with the minor annoyances. I thought I could care less about not being able to forward texts, but
I realize now, how often I do that. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe there's a way to text multiple people.
My son is having surgery next week and I had to type the same text to 5 different people yesterday. Annoying,
but hey...I can deal with that too. They should have included a way to increase the size of the text in emails using the
pinch move like you can do on a website on this phone. The text is TINY in emails and also TINY in texts, especially
looking at the previous threaded texts. Why did they not think of allowing you to change the size of the font on
the phone. In comparison, the text on the Octane is so much easier to read. I'm not sure though why on any phone,
they don't include all of the normal features that are found on most cell phones that people have come to expect.
They got so much right on this phone...while missing some of the really basic things...like a notepad which I used to
use constantly. Not being able to upload contacts and entering them manually was a pain, but not the end of the world,
but what concerns me, is not being able to back up everything on the phone. I have spent a LOT of time setting this phone
up with contact photos, email address,IM screen names, birthdays, etc. If the phone dies and I need
a replacement, I'm going to have to set it all up again??!!! I dread that. I'm hoping BitPim adds support so I can
back it up that way, which is how I backed up contacts, my calendar, notepad etc on my Voyager.
I think there is a learning curve with the Kin and you really need to give it a good chance. I went back and forth
MANY times regarding keeping this phone or trading it in, but now after using it for a full week, I am 98% sure I'm
keeping it. The free WiFi, the 8mp camera, the HD Video, the Zune player, all outweight the few annoyances, and make it a
winner for me over the other Feature phones.

The TV show could not be used because the original file could not be found
"The TV show “Blah-blah ep.23” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
I know this problem is listed (and unanswered) from quite a few users in the forums for song files, but I haven’t found any that mention TV shows. To add to the heap, and help emphasize to iTunes that this is a major bug in need of fixing, here is my version of this problem.
I have a variety of season passes to TV shows that normally download on almost a daily basis (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, for example). About once every four or five downloads iTunes decides to silently delete a file. No warning given, no chance to stop it, just gone. ITunes downloads the file (clearly seen in the process in the Downloads part of the Store menu) and then lists the file under its correct menu in the TV Shows Library section (with the correct amount of MB listed for the file). I usually watch the episode right after I download it (with no problems), but of course I have left episodes unwatched when I shut iTunes down.
On the next startup of iTunes, I go in to watch an old episode again or click on an unwatched episode, but it isn’t there anymore and the old “would you like to locate it?” message pops up. After being through this at least a dozen times in the last year, I know there is no point in looking for the file because it’s gone. The only choice is to go into iTunes support and ask them to reset the download, which they’ve always done without question, and then I have to download the file all over again. This is a huge hassle and all the more frustrating because it happens so irregularly.
I’ve tried to find answers in these discussion forums, but have been unable to see any reasonable solution and wish to add to the voices of annoyed paying customers in the hope something will be done. If anyone is interested, the bizarre and time consuming workaround I’ve had to employ is:
1. As soon as any of my TV shows are downloaded, I stop whatever I’m doing to go grab the file out of iTunes’ folder and move it to a location where iTunes can’t get its grubby little silent deleting hands on it.
2. On the next shutdown-startup cycle, I can then go back and move the file back into its correct location in the iTunes TV Shows subfolders and I’ll never have a problem again with THAT particular file being deleted.
Of course, the problem with this solution is that it’s painfully annoying to have to do it every time. I get lazy, iTunes seems to get its evil deleting ways under control and downloads all seem to work again. That is, until they don’t and the issue mysteriously returns with files being picked off anew and I have to return to these forums in the hope of finally finding out why this is happening. After more than a year and two or three iTunes version updates, it’s the problem that just won’t die.
Anyone?Yes, only TV shows. I've never had a random silent delete of a song file. I also considered that Windows might be blocking the file to save space, but with no limitations set in the control panel that isn't the problem either. In fact, I've only had this problem with season pass downloads. It's never happened with a single download of a video or TV episode.
Tonight, when I downloaded my Daily Show episode, I really kept tabs on what the heck iTunes is up to during the process. As many know, iTunes creates a folder called Downloads during the download process. Inside that folder, a video file gets downloaded as “download.m4v” along with another Qtime info file. When the download is complete, iTunes is supposed to use the info file to identify and tag the download.m4v file and then move it over into its correct artist subfolder with the correct file name.
The problem, I discovered tonight in watching this process, is that iTunes (for mysterious reasons) does not do the relabel/move step with some of the downloads and leaves the files in situ as download.m4v in the download file. Additionally, in the iTunes software you can click on the file (correctly labeled and appearing, as I said in the first post, under the correct TV show banner) and watch it one time. However, after shutting down and restarting (and this is where the evil happens) iTunes will delete all files in the Download subfolder as part of a cleanup process. I suppose because it assumes that those files were correctly relabeled and copied into the corresponding TV show folders. So, there is the reason for the loss of downloaded video files (in my case).
There appears to be no way of knowing, from within iTunes, when the file has been correctly copied over to its corresponding folder and when it hasn’t and remains in the Bermuda Download Folder of Death. Again, I have to go into that folder each time (before shutting iTunes down) to make sure the move took place. If it didn’t, then I have to make a copy of the download file and place it outside that folder.
Finally, since this only happens occasionally, I’m wondering if it doesn’t have something to do with the way the info file is being tagged and labeled prior to being made available to download. However, if that were the case then the problem would be happening to lots of users and I would have expected a lot more complaints in the forums.
By the way, I’m not big on fidgeting with any of iTunes folders or settings. It hasn’t been the case where the downloads were fine, I made some goofy change to the folder structure and then it doesn’t work. I haven’t fiddled with the settings for months, but all of the sudden this issue starts to appear and can just as easily disappear in the following week’s downloads.
Still seeking answers or advice.
Cheers. -
Kin one or kin two can't decide?
Hi
I am getting the kin one or two phone
but I can't decide which one to get.
I been watching reviews on both of them
I think I want the kin two but with the kin two do u need a zune pass
can you use itunes instead or get music from itunes onto the phone?
That's my major problem
ThanksWith either phone you do not need the zune pass subscription, however, you will need to download the zune software(free) on your computer and transfer your songs from itunes to zune, and then, to your KIN. As for which one to choose, I love the design of the kin onem, but the features on the kin twom are a little more high end so I personally chose the two. It has an 8 mp camera versus 5, records hd video, and has stereo sound. Also, it can store 8 gb of info versus the 4 the one can. Other than these differences, the phones are the same.

I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found.would you like to locate it".
Either how do I locate it, and I've tried every trick I know, or how do I restore all of my songs from one of two sources. I have my old hard drive backedup on an external drive which should have all of my songs, and I have most of my songs on my old iPhone 3S which I'm using as a backup iPod.The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

Error message original file could not be located
when i try to play songs from my library i get this message. "original file could not be found" all my hardware is the same, no recent changes. not sure how to get my songs back in my library. the album/artist icon is still there but will not play.
Well I've tried installing itunes 7.3.2 on two different computers and it has messed up each one of them and itunes is no longer functional on either machine. I have no idea what is going on. in both situations the error message comes up that there are files missing and itunes must be reinstalled. i also cannot delete itunes and an attempt at installing a previous version gave me the exact same error.
this is very disappointing. i finally took the plunge and purchased a mac and am waiting for it to arrive. if this is the kind of service to expect i'm afraid i'll be very disappointed.
HAS ANYONE FIGURED THIS OUT YET??? -
'The song "xyz" could not be used because the original file could not be found.
I am quite new to iTunes so please excuse me if the questions seem daft
I have recently changed my default iTunes Media folder location from my local C:\ drive to my home network storage device
(my PC is permanently mapped to this NAS storgae drive)
Now When I go to play a song in itunes I get the message 'The song "xyz" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it"
Looking in the new iTunes Media folder, I can see the following folders and they are mostly empty:
Automatically Add to iTunes
Downloads
Mobile Applications
Music
Note that I have music that I bought from iTunes and music from other sources \ given to me by friends
Questions:
(1) How do I get all my music back into this new iTunes Media folder?
(2) Exactly which files contain my music? (I ask because we have 2 or 3 libraries that I wish to consolidate into 1 master Library for us all)
If I know exactly which files are required I can delete any other files cluttering up my storage and PCChanging the media folder path tells iTunes where to put new media that is ripper or purchased. It may offer to consolidate to the new location when you make the edit, if not iTunes will expect existing content to remain on the original path.

For more background on the typical layout of the iTunes library see Make a split library portable.
1) It depends on exactly what you have done to break things.
2) Your media files are where you put them, or where iTunes copies them to when they are added to the library. If multiple libraries use the same set of media folders there can be problems if edits in one library cause content to be moved as the other libraries will no longer see those tracks on the original path, and won't know to look in a new one.

Original file could not be found
I just went into iTunes and was going to make a new playlist. When I tried to click and drag songs to the playlist an error box says the song can not be used because the original file could not be found. I went randomly through all my music and everything says that. Warning: things have to be dumbed down for me because I'm not very computer or iTunes savvy. What happened and what should I do? (I use Windows 8.1)

Error message - Original file could not be found
When I open itunes, and try to click on a song, there is an "!" and I get the error message "original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
It does this for every song. I have to trace it down to "My Music\itunes\itunes\itunes music" and under that I have hundreds of files by artist.
How can I listen to the songs so I don't have to click on each one to make them play?
I hope you can help me.First, a correction from my previous post: At the beginning I meant to write The iPod wasn't designed to sync playlist-related information back to iTunes.
And as for the polydorus link, let's try this .
Sorry about that.
Does that make sense? Do I need both folders?
No, in the end you'll only need one but I'm still not sure which one.
*I think the difference is there are no folders like in wndows, but the itunes library leads me directly to my library on the itunes website
I don't understand what you mean by the itunes library leads me directly to my library on the itunes website.
It sounds like there is only one iTunes database - iTunes Library.itl - file and that it's in your iTunes1 folder. Whether or not that is the case, what I'd like you to do is follow the instructions in this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for opening an alternate iTune Library file. Select the Choose Library option and use the navigtion window that appears to make your way to an .itl file.
Select the .itl and iTunes will open with a Library that may - or may not - be different than what you last saw: somewhat different contents or exclamation marks may be present again.
If it's not a library you're happy with, close iTunes, wait ten seconds or so and then repeat the procedure looking for another .itl file - each one contains references for a different iTunes library.
When you find a library you're happy with, i.e. all the contents are listed and no exclamation marks, make a note of the location of that .itl. It's the one you're going to want to work with.
Using that database file, you can go back to iTunes, right-click various songs > Get Info > Summary tab and look to the bottom of that window to find out where that Library is being directed for those files. Make a note of that location.
When we know those two things, we should be able to proceed from there with deleting things.
In the future, when I buy new songs from apple, where will they automatically get stored?
In the location that's been selected in iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab for the iTunes Music folder.
What will happen when I sync my ipod on the computer?
That brings us back to the beginning of this post, by default the synch goes from iTunes to your iPod. So you shouldn't synch your iPod unless there's a satisfactory Library being displayed in iTunes. -
I downloaded something that was told to me to get to put some of my itunes songs onto my android phone. I think it synced my account, though. Whenever i click on a song an exclamation point comes up and something pops up and says "could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" and i don't remember ever backing up my songs (this computer is fairly new) and now none of my songs come up. I have no idea what to do but ive spent hundreds of dollars on this account purchasing from the itunes store. Please help me!
Tunes works through a database file which has a list of your tracks. When you click on a track it looks up in the database which file it needs to play, then plays the file. If something breaks this link then you get ! The two main ways to get ! are to move a file from where iTunes expects it to be, or to delete it altogether. I don't know which has happened in your case. You can try using Spotlight to find a file for the one referred to in a broken link. If the files have been moved then they need to be moved back. If they were deleted completely you will have to restore them from a backup or download them again from the iTunes Store and rebuild your library.

iPod updates 2 touch with the new software, and from the update they are not connected with Time phase. They appear calling but never they enter the calls. I make calls with other users and if one connects but in these two not from the update
I use Firefox 95% of the time, and there's no problem with flash content (and I'm still at .55 - downloaded .64 last week but I haven't got round to making the change yet). At the rate they've been changing it recently it may well be out of date already .
I've been trying it in Safari, too with no problems apart from You Tube, but that's because I'm blocking Google cookies.
One thought does occur - if your Flash preferences are set to block all Local Storage, it may be that the problem site is trying to use Flash cookies (LSOs). I had this problem recently with the BBC iPlayer streaming content. Little Snitch notified an attempt to connect to a new URL - emp.bbci.co.uk.
If I disallowed it, no streaming; when I allowed the connection, it still wouldn't stream, so I did a bit of digging and came to the conclusion that it was trying to set a Flash cookie. When I unblocked, lo and behold - streaming resumed as normal.
I now have LSOs blocked in a more subtle way that lets the site think it's being set (but it ain't) and the streaming still works.
As for permissions repair - always repair from local; the permissions on the original disc will have been superceded by updates and new installations of Apple software.
DU needs to be reading the packages on the HD, not the (now out of date) install disc.
The recurring repair messages are normal and don't mean anything's wrong. As long as the final message is 'repair complete' there's no need to dwell on it.

I recently downloaded the new version on Firefox, version 7. Now I can't play Kabam games on Facebook. (Kingdoms of Camelot or Edgeworld.) I've tried playing them on Kabam's site and they won't play there either. I just get the white screen of death.
