Issues with installing TIger

I have a PowerBook G4 and I've purchase Tiger so I can upgrade from 10.3.9 to Tiger. When I put the CD in my PowerBook, it spins and then spits it right back out without allowing me to install.
I put the CD into my desktop computer to check if the CD was faulty and it was going to allow me to upgrade to Tiger just fine. So I know it's not a faulty CD.
Anyone know the issue here?
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Rachel,
Can you still play a regular, commercial DVD Movie?
Try booting from your original install disk and run the Apple Hardware Test.
Good Luck,
Joe

I am having issues with installing a Ricoh MP C2500 printer on Lion in my MBPro Ci7

I am having issues with installing a Ricoh MP C2500 printer on Lion in my MBPro Ci7 Where is appletalk or the replacement?
My it guy has set all the Ricoh (The only brand of printers we use.) to enable Appletalk. I am unable to see how to enable appletalk or an equivalent on Lion and have spent 3 hours now searching for it. If I connect to the printer via TCP/IP it prints random characters. I have a Ricoh working for another moddle but I am needing to use this machine. HELP!!!!!

AppleTalk has been gone eons ago. Connect via USB and see what happens. If you are networking the printer then advise on your connection set up.

Well, I refuse to sign up to pay Adobe a monthly tribute for life too, but that doesn't mean we are limited to CS3.
I'm staying with CS6.
Adobe still sells a perpetual-license to Photoshop CS6 without the subscription model, but it's $700 for the Standard version and a cool $1,000 for the Extended version.
You haven't mentioned your platform, Macintosh or Windows, so make sure CS3 or any other obsolete version you buy actually runs on a modern operating system.
Good luck.

Issues with Installing Multiple adobe products.

I am having some issues with performing a silent installation of multiple adobe products.
We currently have Adobe CS3, Captivate 3, Audition 3, and Director 11.
We have managed to get a silent install working for CS3, however, I cannot seem to get a silent install for Director going. The product installs, however it prompts for registration and a CDkey upon launching the application. I have a application.xml.override file within the payloads folder for Director. I also have install.xml and remove.xml files created. I can supply these if need be.
Captivate does not seem to take the same deployment method that CS3 and Director do (no payloads folder, no --record=1 mode for creating install.xml). Some assistance with this would be very helpful.
The audition disc does have a payloads folder and such within the folder for "adobe bridge." Would I be able to put an application.xml.override and install.xml in their respective locations for that and have it assist with audition install?
Using a mix of Vista Business / XP professional computers. CS3, captivate, director, and audition are all going on the same systems.

Sorry, I have no solution, but I can relate.
I'm having a similar problem with the Director 11 silent install.
We have a keyserver setup here and need to have the programs install silently on the student home computers so we don't release the serial number to them, everything with CS3 went okay. I assumed that Director 11 would follow the same (override file) as the file structure seemed to be similar, but that is not the case.
There's very little information on this out there, so any help would be great.

Issues with installing Officejet 2620 All-in-One

I'm having problems with installing my Officejet 2620. I've installed the correct driver for my OS, but every time I connect the printer to the laptop via USB I get an error message saying 'USB Device not recognized; the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.' I've read where this could be because I no longer have Windows 8, but rather Windows 8.1, as opposed to an error with the actual printer, which seems to work fine aside from the lack of communication with the laptop. My OS Windows 8.1 64-bit. Please help!

Hello hackman19,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand when you plug in the USB connection to your HP Officejet 2620 you get an error message 'USB Device not recognized; the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.'
After some research I was able to find this thread on www.wiknix.com:

Hi Boris,
I had the same problem, so I investigated the issue a bit.
The problem is that the timeout for installing and launching the SCS service is 40 seconds, but sometimes it happens slower than this. In this case the installer thinks that the service was not setup correctly (actually it was), and aborts.
For me the solution was to stop every unnecessary service (like desktop search indexing, etc.) and quit all the applications. This way the installation ran without problems. Unfortunately if you have a slower pc this may not help.
best regards,
Csaba

Issues with Filevault, Tiger, Dock & Safari lost pref. settings & iPhoto...

Hope you experts out there can shed some light. Here's a recap-
Nov 05 - we turned on Filevault. Since then, for a month or 2, restarting takes just a few minutes longer and a flashing earth icon appears before the apple spinning wheel. This no longer happens. All seems fine until now.
Since Mon, I started backing up iPhoto library onto CD-R. No problem, though after burning a few CDs, "the drive failed to respond, unable to recover.." a few times, but after shut down & restart, finally ok.
I also noticed Safari settings suddenly went back to default by itself, so rechecked all pref settings; next time mac was restarted, same thing happened except more bad things happened:
A)- All bookmarks disappeared in bookmark menu & bookmark bar.
B)- iPhoto won't run & load pictures.
C)- Dock appeared as "default", all the application icons I previously added are gone!
D)- iMovie icon became a "?" on the dock.
E)- i Sync failed to sync due to "unable to login to .mac"; have a .mac a/c.
So far what I've done with Apple Support:
1- Under a test user, opened "Disk Utility", click "Repair Disk", i.e. the HD, but message appeared "No repairs were necessary". Test user then deleted, log off.
2- Logged back in under my username, dragged the existing dock .plist file to trash. But after rebooting computer using the "control", "apple", "p" & "r" keys simultaneously, nothing is fixed.
3- I've backed up all personal files, documents, and most of iPhoto Library on CD-R.
4- I then performed an "Archive & Reinstall" of the OSX Tiger (http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n107120) , with the box checked for Preserve Users and Network Settings". After installation, I also installed Software Update, but still nothing is fixed, i.e iPhoto won't run, dock is default, bookmarks on Safari are all gone, Backup to iDisk goes on & on for over 5 hrs & so I force quit, some files on iDisk can't be located right now.
5- Today, I followed the article in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25695, created a test user again, pull the .sparseimage file, and "repair disk". It came back "no repairs were necessary". Closed Disk Utility, launched iPhoto, and it worked. I dragged a few pics, did some edits, and it was fine. So this is all good under test user. Does this process tell me the .sparseimage does not need repair and that it's not corrupted..?
6- Logged back under my user, dragged "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" on desktop, deleted cache file, restarted the computer, and launched iPhoto. It's been 6 hrs, and iPhoto is still "loading photos" with spinning wheel.
That said, this whole process really ruled out that it's not an iPhoto problem since it runs under the test user. It just won't work under my user name. Any idea or suggestion of what to do next... ???
Regarding the dock settings, I have removed the old dock plist file, and rebuilt a new dock. So far, logging in & out, restarting the computer did not affect it. Safari Bookmark collections suddenly have all these folders appearing with default bookmarks, weird, not sure why? iSync, half hr ago, started working, since I've set it to sync bookmarks, iCal, Address book, I just saw all my original bookmarks under "Imported IE favorites" in the Collections column, though they are organized quite different. So I assume iSync did it.
Here are some key questions:
1- Cause: Are problems caused by Filevault, or something is wrong with my OS before I did "Archive & Install" ? After archive & install, testing iPhoto under test user, and doint step 5 & 6 above, iPhoto still not load pics after a window appeared to upgrade thumbnails. Could filenames of some photos being long have anything to do with it or could it be other reasons?
2- Filevault failed to turn off after a few trials, with warning msg saying "filevault unable to turn off, unable to recover disk space". I found this article - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25635. But don't know how to solve this problem.
3- iDisk - some files are lost, why?
4- Backup program - won't even backup to iDisk, pending for over 6 hrs, why? When I backup things to iDisk, do files get stored in the "Backup" folder or "Documents" under the iDisk icon in the Finder window ?
5- iMovie icon on dock is now "?", why? But then, I have iMovie HD. FYI - I upgraded to Tiger Apr 05, and iLife'o5 last July.
I hope I make myself clear, so if anyone has any experience or insight with my problems, I'd appreciate so much.
Thanks, Lucien

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It seems that you're problem may be system related rather than iPhoto. I suggest you do the following:
1 - run Disk Utility and Repair disk permissions.
2 - reboot into Safe Mode (hold down the Shift key during the boot process). This will perform the File System Check (fsck). At this time check iPhoto and Safari.
3 - boot back into normal mode. If all is not well the download and reinstall the 10.4.6 COMBO updater followed by a permissions repair.
4 - If iPhoto is still messed up, use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library. It will create a new library and leave your current one untouched. It succeeds where the normal rebuild fails.
My preference is to manually upload my photos to a folder on the HD either thru Image Capture or the Finder with a card reader - with iPhoto closed. Then if there's a crash iPhoto will not damage the AlbumData.xml file that is uses to record all the info on the imported files.

Issues with installing windows on a new macbook pro retina.

Hello,
First time using bootcamp on my new macbook and I am running into an issue.
I have read the troubleshooting guide and everything else and no matter what I do I get the same problem.
The issue is that when bootcamp restarts after partitioning my drive, windows loads and I start the install process. Its says set up is starting and then it says that a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing. I only have one usb drive connected (the one with windows on it) and nothing else. This is getting incredibly frustrating haha.

I really need windows on my pc before monday so all help is appreciated.

Major Issues with installing 4tb internal. Really need advice please

In the process of a long needed upgrade to my 2010 Mac Pro Quad core 2.8 and have run into a serious headache that I really need advice on so I can get back to work. I've already spent 2 days dealing with all of this...
Just did a new SSD install and Migration which went fine but I'm also updating the rest of the internal drives. My main (non boot) drive was being upgraded from a Seagate Barracuda 3tb to a 4th Deskstar NAS (it was showing as compatible with my desktop, see links below). My 3tb ran fine for years but now due to it being heavily used I want to switch to a new drive and I can also use a bit more space.
The issue I'm running into is that initially on boot, my system was telling me it couldn't recognize the disk and it wasn't even showing up in Disk Utility. I had to purchase a SATA USB 3 kit to attach it as an external to get it to show which worked without problem. With the USB kit I was then able to partition it (GUID, Mac OS extended journaled) and format it properly. After reinserting the drive into my tower as an internal it failed to show again. After a few attempts of restarts and trying various bays it popped up but showed as a non formatted drive and I was told again that the system didn't recognise it. I was then given the option to initialise and was then actually able to then format and partition it though Disk Utility while it was installed as an internal.
Figured that was problem solved but when I went to check the drive and getting ready to transfer files over I noticed that Disk Utility was only allowing the First Aid and Partition options but not Erase, RAID, Restore which I'd never seen before. I then also noticed that none of the drive connection info was in the same format nor will it even provide drive bay info, connection info or read/write status (See screen shots). This is what I can't figure out and really need to clarify before I put full trust into using this drive.
Any info would be greatly appreciated...
Deskstar 4tb internal info which is installed in Bay 2
3tb Seagate which I trying to retire and transfer from.
Here are the weblinks to the Deskstar 4tb drive and the compatibility list but I support isn't allowing me to add direct links so add the www. before hand.
(Drive - eshop.macsales.com/item/HGST/0S03664/) (compatibility list - eshop.macsales.com/Descriptions/specs/Framework.cfm?page=macpromid2010.html).

What OSX version?
Disk Utility in later versions of ML and I think Mavericks have problems formatting with 4 TB internal drives.

Issue with installing password sync on Windows 2008

I have installed pwd sync 64 bit on Windows 2008. Configured it in direct mode (no jms). But when I change the password of a user it is not syncing with the IdM. We have the 32 bit pwd sync working fine on Win 2003. Is there any special steps for installing, configuring 64 bit pwd sync on Win 2008. Thanks. Jack

Hi again Tim-
Given the error "failed to crack URL" I believe you're hitting an issue we have documented as bug # 21999. Here's the jist of it and a possible way around it.
==========
When installing password sync on a Windows 2008 system, if you are not
logged in as 'Administrator', the installer and the configure applications
may be subject to Windows File And Registry Virtualization (FARV). This may
cause the registry entries for password sync to be written to the user portion
of the registry, rather than the system portion. Subsequently, password sync
will fail with the message "failed to crack URL".
To work around FARV, either run the MSI installer from a privileged cmd.exe
prompt, or run the configure.exe application using the "Run As Administrator"
functionality (right-click on the configure.exe application, select "Run As
Administrator").
==========
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Alex

Issue with Installing After Effects CC

Hello,
I have downloaded the trial version of Adobe After Effects CC. As soon as i install, i get the following message:
After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last Logged message was: <3940> <GPU Manager> <2> Sniffer Result Code:3
I have an i5 4440, 8 GM Ram, NVIDIA NVS 315 Graphics Card and running on Windows 7 Professional (without SP1).
What can be the issue? After Effects CS6 is working fine along with Premier CC & Audition CC Edition. The graphics card drivers are uptodate.
Please help.
Regards,
KapSin

Hi Mylenium,
Many thanks for the quick revert.
So whilst i would try and get a new GPU soon, could you suggest how can i
get around in the meanwhile? Have already tried the older version of the
driver but it isn't helping.
Also, I am assuming that working on the Windows 7 Professional Edition
(without Service Pack 1) will not have any impact on the installation? Cos
all the CC system requirements say windows 7 service pack 1, however
everything else is working fine except AE.
Many thanks.

Toshiba M35X S109, having great issues with installing software - PLEASE help.

I have a Toshiba M35x S109 and lost my harddrive. I installed a new one and tried to reinstall software from the Toshiba Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD. When I first tried this it came up to the first page that said to press F1 for ok or F2 to cancel. I pressed F1. Then it went to the warning page telling me that all the data on harddrive would be lost if I continued. Press A to abort or C to continue. I pressed C. It took me back to the first page again. This happened over and over.
I called tech support and they told me I had a bad disc and could either get a new one or install from a full version of Windows. I tried that as I have a full version of Windows 98 and an Upgrade version of Windows XP Home Edition. I got the Windows 98 on and get to the desktop but can not seem to get the keyboard to work. Mouse works, but keyboard does not work at all. Reinstalled Win 98 as instructed by Tech Support and it worked. Then we hung up and I did as they instructed and tried installing the upgrade to Win XP home ed, but when I needed to input the product key - again the keyboard does not work. URGH.
I called tech support back again and was told the previous tech support gave me bad info. This guy said I needed to install from the Toshiba restore disc and left me with a million instructions that I did not understand on how to erase the harddrive of the Win 98 and then start over with the Toshiba restore disc.
I am so frustrated and confused and really need some good advice and help. I have the 98 installed but the keyboard is not working. The pc initially had the Win XP on it. I will likely upgrade to the Win 7 if I get this going but can't get past this issue. What should I do?????
Do I need to erase WIN 98 and start again from the Toshiba Restore Disc?
If so, why would the Restore disc not work when I initially put it in and try? This problem continues to reoccur with the old and new Toshiba Restore Disks. What else could be causing this?
Can I go from Win 98 and fix the driver issue or what ever it is and move on with the rest? How do I fix the problem with the keyboard?
ANY AND ALL HELP is very much appreciated! Thank you.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Did the flash complete, or shut off prior to finishing? If the former there is a chance, but if the latter there is little that you can do at home to fix this (as in, if you need to ask you have neither the equipment or the skill set to fix it yourself).
Do you have the Intel or the ATI graphics on your laptop?
What bios revision was on the laptop originally? If you don't know that then why were you trying to update the bios as you wouldn't know what revision to install? Plus, it would have come with at least rev. 1.0 installed already so why would you want to install that again? Trying to install an older revision over a newer one won't work without some specific flags added to the command.
Did you flash from a startup disk or from Windows?
Can you get into the bios settings by pressing the F2 key (or whatever key that model requires)?
Have you tried a reset of the system by doing the following. Unplug the AC adapter, remove the battery, then press and hold the power button down for a minimum of 30 seconds. Now replace the battery and AC and see if you can now access the BIOS when it starts to power up.
Are you sure that the new hard drive is properly installed AND working correctly? Did it work prior to what appears to be a failed bios flash?
I'll try to help, but I'm afraid this might be a bad flash which will require sending (or taking) it to a qualified repair shop/technician who has the special equipment and skillset to reflash the bios using an Eprom burner and that will run you about $100 or so the last time I checked.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Issue with Installing Adobe Captivate 5.5 on a networked computer.

Basically my questions is: how can I install Captivate 5.5 on a workstation which is a member of a domain with group policy, so that the user does not have to be an Administrator on the machine?
No matter what I've tried, the user has to be in the Admin group otherwise we get an error message concerning the license.
I've tried installing it as Technician, installing it as Administrator, making the user an Admin and then installing it and then taking them out of the Admin group. None of these have worked.
I've tried giving all users full control of the Adobe folder. That didn't work either. The PC is a Dell Optiplex 745 with Windows XP.

Goodboyga, I think I tracked down the permissions you will need to modify. This solution is detailed within Install log error "License store does not allow writing" | Creative Suite 5, CS5.5.
Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\.
Right-click the SLStore folder and choose Properties.
Deselect the Read-Only checkbox.
Launch the Creative Suite 5 application.
By giving read/write access to this location it should resolve the licensing error. I would actually recommend at least giving read/write permissions to the parent folder Adobe and then replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object. You might even want to consider doing the same step for the Application Data folder as Adobe is not the only application which will be utilizing this folder.
If you are running into additional issues though I would still advise starting with a default Standard user account level of permissions. You can then restrict access as needed while still verifying the Adobe applications function properly.

What are the software issues with installing a 2nd SSD on my mac mini (Late 2012?)

Hi Everyone,
I've just bought a brand new Mac Mini server - 2.6GHz, with a 256GB SSD.
I have also bought a 512GB SSD from Crucial, along with a Dual Drive Install Kit from OWC, and will probably be installing it myself.
I've read a lot of info on various forums/websites that is a little concerning.....regarding data loss when you reboot the Mac having installed the new SSD (not sure if this just applies to adding the SSD to a system that contains a 'normal' HDD.....)
If I'm going to have 2 SSDs in my system, I guess there are 2 questions:
1. Can I just add the new 512GB SSD without any reboot issues
2. Is it important to keep the system SSD physically where it is, i.e. at the bottom of the Mac (and plugged into the same connection on the logicboard?)
Thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you so much John and woodmeister50, most helpful
Just one more thing - the crucial drive came with a data transfer cable (SATA to USB) - I haven't got my dual drive install kit through the post yet...so do you foresee any problems with me installing the software that I will be using on the 512GB drive, in preparation for it being internally installed - is that possible to do with this cable?
Thanks again people!
