Issue with newly installed harddrive

My original harddrive crashed reacently, the odd thing was that it worked sometimes when I booted, but after a while the system froze again.
I bought a new harddrive which I was able to install macos onto. After a few hours of usage I experienced the same problems with this drive, and now I only get the question mark screen when I boot.
What can the issue be here?
I was at first thinking that the issue was the old harddrive, but now I am thinking that it might be the controller.
Is there a fix for that, or do I need to buy a new computer all together?

The SATA cable may be the cause of the problem.
You can test the hard drive, if you place it in an external enclosure and boot off it while holding the option key at startup.

GUI issues with newly installed IllustratorCC.

We've just purchased and installed Adobe Creative Cloud for our shop. Intallation went smoothly, but usage is not. Anybody experiencing these issues?

UPDATE:
Possible OS issue? Testing with OSX 10.7.5 seems to work fine. Why does OSX 10.6.8 use Adobe Application Manager and OSX 10.7.5 use Adobe Creative Cloud as gateways to sync and login to CC? Unable to sync settings withing illustrator preferences on OSX 10.6.8.

Problem solved!
Ensure that Tahoma and Verdana are active in your system fonts on OSX 10.6.8!

Polygonal Lasso tool issues in newly installed Photoshop CS6 on IOS X Lion 10.7.4

I'm using a new install of Photoshop CS6 (via creative cloud) on a new iMac and getting superb performance aside from constant issues with the polygonal lasso tool.
All the other variants of the tool work fine without fault, but when using the polygonal selection , either the first 'point' won't register or subsequent 2nd or 3rd points won't register, causing photoshop to hang for a second then fill the marquee incorrectly.
I'm using a magic mouse and also tested it with a USB Logitech but still getting the same issue.
3.4ghz Intel Core i7 Quad core iMac
16GB Ram

Any help much appreciated ...

same here!
very unpredictable behavior from polygonal lasso tool with apple magic mouse and fresh wacom intuos 5 large.
work on imac 27" i5 late 2013 with 32GB RAM and mac pro 2006 with 16GB RAM
- can observe unsteady and unpredictable behavior of the polygonal lasso tool
in 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9 meaning it wont react on my click and "hang"
or suddenly fill the lasso selection as complete, when i just do a simple click.
- can reproduce this behavior with my apple magic mouse over usb, wireless and
more frequently with my wacom intuos 4 and 5 over usb.
- even on my latest imac 2013, newly installed only photoshop cs5 and cs6, i can reproduce much more strange behavior fo this tool ever: the first point/click won't register at all, it feels like the polygonal lasso tool hangs and waits and nothing happens. i click on another tool, click back on poly.lasso and try again. after the second attempt, after seconds of waiting, the third click always fills the selection as completed, although i am not finished with my selection at all
any idea why?
love working with polygonal lasso, although it reacts very unstable and unpredictable since years and versions !!

Widgets issues with recent install of Mountain Lion on my iMac.

Since installing Mountain Lion my screen periodically locks up an shifts to the right. I noticed along the left a charcoal background with large dot pattern was showing while the screen was shifted and locked to the right. Then a few times the widgets screen popped up on its own and I realized the background matched what I was seeing when the lock ups happen (I have never used the widgets). So it appears the Widgets screen keeps trying to launch spontainiously. I did notice the Fetch widget had an alert on it and with some investigation found that Fetch Works no longer had a widget for Mountain Lion, so I just deleted it. This I thought fixed the bug but now today the shifting and locking up has started again. I did take the machine in to have a Genius run a diagnostic because of the hard drive issue with the iMacs but he said all looked fine and reinstalled Mountain Lion while I was there to see if that helped.. but it did not. Has anyone else run into this? If so, were you able to fix it? it actually just happened twice while I was typing this and I had to sit and wait for it to not be locked up so I could complete...

You can use the Mountain Lion USB disk that you created or you can press Command and R keys on boot, but it will download OS X Mountain Lion from the Internet

Strange issue on newly installed 5510

Hi all,
A couple issues came up after installing our new 5510, a couple sites that uses the same ISP as our's had issues, one where we can email them but their incoming to us wasn't working, and another site we couldn't browse on the web.
This all worked after putting back the old firewall. I was wondering and it might be a dns issue with our isp's and the asa could be blocking on the outside int, on the old firewall I have the trust to untrust allow dns outgoing, that setting is not on the asa since it's inside int has 100 rule. I also talked to the IT dept of the site that had incoming email issues, he said 2 of their Exchange servers are connected to the same isp as ours, most sites worked and email, but there might be more we just haven't tried yet. For now I have our old firewall till I figure out what's causing some sites to not work on the asa.
update - I added my object group DNS-SERVERS on the outside int, I'll test again to see if the sites in question works
here's my latest config, thanks in advanced.

Hi Julio, actually I think I'm not out of the woods yet, one of my users say a customer can't send us email, we can send to them fine, I see it go out on the exchange console queue, but incoming somehow it just goes to nowhere, there's no logs indicating an error or an NDR to the sender, they wanted to put back the old firewall, but most of our emails in and out are ok, just one customer, I test for a ptr record and some of the free dns tools come out ok, there's one place that says our ptr fails but it's one place. I'm stumped, it all seems to happen after the new firewall.
update - looks like it's back to normal again after I redid my dns acl, I added a group object for dns tcp-udp instead of just tcp, mail seems to flow again.

Synching iPhone with newly-installed iTunes

I plugged in my iPhone to newly-installed iTunes on a new laptop (to synch it) and a message popped up telling me iTunes would take my iPhone back to its factory settings and that I would lose my media etc. Will I get it back? And how?
Thanks

Howdy Paddy275,
I would recommend copying your library from the other computer to this one. This article will help with that:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
The content WILL be wiped when you sync the phone. But if you have the library that has all your media in it copied over and you can see it all in iTunes, then you will need to select what to sync back over. Use this to assist with that if needed.
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
If you cannot copy the original library to your new computer, then you can always redownload your past purchases free of charge from the iTunes store.

All the very best,

Issues with recently installed quicktime

I will admit having the occassional crashing issue with premiere, but since in installed the newest version of quicktime (I believe it's 7.4) premiere holds out for about an HOUR maybe! if I'm lucky, usually if i attempt anything audio editing, it crashes and I'm back to square one.
it seems to hold for exporting files (through the media encoder or to AVI) but the second one attempts to do any editing, extending or shortening clips, down it goes with that lovely "Premiere has experienced an unknown error and will attempt to save your project" (Which it doesn't).
Given I'm working with a large project it is annoying for the 20 minute pause for it to re-load, only to have it go down a few minutes later.
It doesn't matter the scene/sequence I'm editing.
I do need quicktime for some of the projects I'm working on right now, but if it's the cause of this issue...I'm not sure sure it's viable.
I've uninstalled it, and I'm going to give it a run for the night see if that helps, but if it doesn't, any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
H.R. Crystal

Thanks Jon. I'm going to go download and install 6.5.2 now.
I JUST LOVE! how everyone tells you to have the most up to date Quicktime, but ack! seems to cause issues.
I'll see if this fixes my issues.
Appreciated the note on the version.

TS3899 iPad 2 mail won't launch with newly installed iOS 8.3. Help please.

I Upgraded to iOS 8.3 and now mail won't start on my iPad 2

I Am having similar issues with both IPad Air 2 and IPhone 6 since 8.3 upgrade
i also have a hotmail.co.uk email address
i also have issues with outlook iOS app version 1.1.4 since this update
prior to update I would get mails to both Apple Mail app and also Outlook App and could manage them in either and the files would delete or move in the opposite app.
since 8.3 I am definitely having sync issues with what I want to do.
it is either a hotmail issue or an 8.3 issue however the fact my gmail app and apple mail app still sync correctly I am leaning toward it being a Microsoft mail issue but I could be wrong.
I Have uninstalled and reinstalled outlook app and have deleted hotmail address and reinstalled but made no difference.
the only thing left would be to reset iPad and iPhone but hoping I won't have to do that.

HT5100 Sync iPod (Shuffle) with newly installed iTunes; songs deleted? :(

My music from my ipod (shuffle) is not on my ipod anymore after my newly installed itunes on my PC asked me to sync my ipod music, where did it go? My itunes library did not have any songs which is why I thought the songs wouldn't be replaced. I need help ...

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party progtam like one of those discussed here
Copy music
- WHen everything is on your computr connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not contain synced media like apps and music.

failing. All steps leading up to this point seem to work fine. Does anyone have any sugggestions? This is on a newly built, Hyper-v, server 2012 R2, MDT 2013 setup.
Much Appreciated..!

Issues with playing installed games

Whenever I go to play a game on my HP Touchsmart 300, such as, Dota 2 or anything else that has been installed on my harddrive it tabs out to the desktop every few minutes. Is there anything i can do to fix it?

Hey,
It definitely sounds like there maybe some background apps interfering with Dota. Does Dota close out entirely or just minimize (like when using Alt+TAB?). I would definitely try doing a clean boot, then playing once more. If you don't experience the issue any more you may have the cherry pick through your Startup programs and services to see if any are causing this issues. (I would assume any security program that may run a scan would be the first thing to look at).
Try this out and let us know how things go

Issues with clean install of Snow Leopard in Leopard MacBook

Hi all,
This is the sequence of events:
1) MacBook from 2007, running Leopard.
2) Got Snow Leopard, did the install on top of the existing OS, just as an "update".
2) After machine restarts, several issues were detected, apparently all OS related: Finder crashed, Apple Mail didn't even open, etc.
3) Download software update from Apple.com (for "performance improvement"). Installer itself crashes!! Can't install update.
4) Decided to go for a clean install with complete restore of hard drive
5) Put in Snow Leopard DVD, boot from it, erase and format hard drive. Got a "Can´t install... contact the manufacturer" error.
6) Don't have my original Leopard OS DVDs at hand at the moment, but will try that later.
Question is: to do a clean install, after restoring the hard drive, do I need to install Leopard first, and only after that Snow Leopard?
(I tried installing Leopard from the DVDs of another MacBook (2008), that didn´t work either. I gather it could be small hardware differences, so I'm still hopeful for when I try with my original restore DVDs...)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!! I mean, this is was supposed to be a no-brainer... :-/

1. You have some peripheral or RAM that is not compatible with the installation.
See my FAQ*: http://www.macmaps.com/badram.html if there are no peripherals attached. You need a minimum of 1 GB of RAM to install Snow Leopard.
1. No peripherals. RAM is only what came with original machine. Have 2GB.

2. Your machine has some hardware issue preventing installation:

2. Will verify this later with the original installation CDs. It would be bad news... my MAC was running completely fine before Snow Leopard!!

3. You are using the wrong installer disc. For a 2007 machine, only a copy of Snow Leopard which looks like * that does not say Upgrade or DropIn or OEM will work.

Re: Satellite U305-S7477 - issue with clean install from recovery disks

Im trying to do a clean OS install of Vista onto a new hard drive, the install runs correctly but at the end, instead of it requesting me to create a user id and password as the machine does at first boot up when new, it shows a login for administrator with a message that the administrator account has been disabled, and another to input a pre-existing user name and password, which I do not have since this is a clean install.
Does Toshiba want me to only run the recovery on top of a pre-existing OS install? That would be quite a limitation, and would prevent one from recovering their machine after a hard drive dies.
Any thoughts? I did look thru the docs for a default password, but if it's there I didn't find it.
Thanks in advance!

Hello
To be honest your issue is strange to me. The fact is, for operating system installation you can use either Microsoft installations DVD or Toshiba recovery DVD. In both cases when installation is almost done you must enter your username and password (optional). There is no difference at all.
I have done recovery installation many times under WXP and Vista. No difference at all. Username must be entered always and I didnt notice such issue as described in your posting.
So please try to install OS again and be careful with each installations step. All recovery installations images are tested and I cannot imagine Toshibas people can oversight something like this.

Issue with default install of SOA suite under Windows

Hello,
I installed SOA Suite without error, using the defaults of the Basic Installation.
When I start the SOA Suite, it starts up without error, but reports that ASG is Status=Down
When I try to create an Integration Server in JDeveloper, and test it, everything works, with the exception of the ESB Server:Fail, which in the details is listed as:
ESB Connection, Not Run
Can anyone explain these behaviors (ASG Status=Down and ESB Connection = Not Run)? Are these normal based on not installing products from the Advanced options? I'm in the process of an evaluation and I don't want to go too far down a path if my system is already somewhat broken.
Thanks.
--T
Thank you very much.

The ASG down is normal - it is not causing the other issue you have.
The JDev integration server connection error (ESB not run) is unfamiliar to me. Make sure you have created the Application Server connection properly (choose standalone). The Test Connection button for the Integration Server connection shows you status for the Application Server, the BPEL Server, and the ESB Server - what does it say for each of these?

Error Code 16 on Mac with Newly-Installed Yosemite (a Java problem?)

Like many out there I am unable to use CS6 applications at all after an OS update to Yosemite (in my case from 10.8.5, on my 2012 iMac). I get an Error 16 message, and a Java problem error message.
I've read many posts about fixing this issue, including the Adobe gospel very specific to this problem—about changing the permissions in a couple of folders—, which I found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/configuration-error-cs5.html I did exactly as directed and saw no change in the problem.
I also read that the Java version necessary for CS6 products to run on Yosemite is a boondoggle in itself. Java 6 is apparently necessary for CS6 products to run, but that version is insecure, and besides, it's old. Java 8 Build 31 is the current and safe version but it apparently is incompatible with none but the most recently-updated Adobe products. Several posts on Adobe's support pages suggest a hacky fix for this Java issue, which involves downloading and installing the latest Java version from Oracle, and then creating specifically-named empty folders on one's hard drive within a couple of obscure System/Library/Java folders:
http://oliverdowling.com.au/2014/03/28/java-se-8-on-mac-os-x/
https://forums.adobe.com/message/7193884
I did this too, and again saw no change in the problem.
Re-installing my CS6 suite has not worked, either. I receive the same error code message when starting up any of the applications. At this point I've been forced to go back to my previous operating system, since I am heavily reliant on CS6 to do my work each day.
I understand that many people are having this trouble after updating to Yosemite, and more than a few posts on these forums indicate this is true even for people like me who've followed Adobe's purported fix that I linked above. Has anyone in userland or at Adobe found anything lately that could help here?
