Keyboard disabled during install

Attempting to install xp on my my macpro desktop.
When I get to the point where I have to press "enter" the keyboard
appears to be disabled.
Any thoughts?
thanks
That's in Snow Leopard, by the way.

Is this a wired (USB)-keyboard or a wireless one ?
Apple recommends to use a wired keyboard during installation and then BootCamp Driver setup.
Any PC-USB-keyboard should do the trick.

Ps/2 keyboard fails during install - after GRUB

I'm trying to install Solaris 10/x86 on a machine
that ran many other OSs just fine.
I boot the V1 CD and GRUB comes up.
At this point, my keyboard is working fine; I can make
selections in Grub, etc..
Then, the Solaris kernel comes up; and I get to the
point where it asks which language to use.
By this time, the keyboard has stopped working and
I can't select a language and the install hangs.
I found several references to issues with USB keyboards
and the USB driver; so I completely disabled USB. All
I have is a "plain/generic" PS/2 keyboard.
This is on a mother board with an 800mhz celeron and
an intel 815 chipset.
Google/Yahoo searches proved less than helpful....
Any ideas?

Well...
I went into the BIOS and told it to reset everything
to the most conservative defaults, and this problem
went away...
So - chalk it up to bad hardware...

How to disable loud speaker beep during install

Is there a way to disable the the speaker beeping during install? Or at least lower its volume? Its extremely loud. Ive already removed the pcspkr module, but the beeping is still present.
(I reinstall arch often and this is why I'm asking )

How do I disable crash reporter during install?

I put this line "pref("datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled", false);" into the mozilla.cfg file to disable health reports. I'm looking to disable the crash reporter as well during install as default.

Error message during install

Anyone have a clue what to do? Keep receiving error message during install. Have disable firewall, no help. Here is the error message:
Error Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32".version="8.0.50727.4053".publicKeyToken="1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b".processorArchitecture="amd64".

I uninstalled because Itunes would not upgrade. Now I can't install. I was able to install an older version, but couldn't access my music because it was an older version, so I uninstalled that and now have nothing. I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Glad to read that renaming trick helped to get iTunes installed for you. Your thread here is fine for more questions.
Search your hard drive for your music - it should still be there, but perhaps this fresh install of iTunes just isn't seeing it.
Find music: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
You absolutely do NOT want to sync your iPhone with an empty iTunes library. It will erase everything. Apple only gives you one download and you need to make backups. I hope it is still on your PC! But at least you have it on your iPhone.
I don't think you synced your iPhone with your father's iTunes, or his music would be on it. Have a look in a folder named Previous iTunes Libraries. There might be an iTunes database ITL file in there that you can use.
They have names like "iTunes Library 2009-04-06.itl" which would be from April 6th, 2009.
Press and hold the shift key while starting iTunes, and when prompted, choose the most recent previous library. Does it show most of your music, and can you play some songs in iTunes OK?

"WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing." error during install or boot

Hello everyone!
Since the lasts kernels (I'm almost sure it happens since 3.9 because 3.8 worked fine) I can't boot on Archlinux anymore. This error floods my screen and I can't do anything, and because the new Archlinux iso (june 2013) comes with 3.9 kernel it now also happens during installation. Fortunately, I saved the may iso so I still can install archlinux and switch during install to LTS kernel but this is not a good solution. I can't find a solution online, some people have this issue but it seems to be a bit different everytime.
I use Archlinux on a server, with hardware raid : Dell PERC H200a with LSI SAS2008 according to my BIOS. According to http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.7, the WRITE SAME SCSI command "allows the same block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O (commit)". Here is the exact configuration :
- DELL® PowerEdge R210 II
- 1x Intel® Xeon® E3 1220 V2
- HDD: 2 x 1 To SATA2 RAID
- RAID: Hardware, Dell PERC H200, (Raid 1)
So my first problem is that I can't find online if my server is capable of this command (but I don't think so) and then the other issue is that I want to know if I can disable it. I found kernel patches for this issue :
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1898441/ and https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1982051/ (the first link seems to be a better solution).
Then, I checked in the kernel source of 3.9 and I think that this patch isn't implemented (there is no device_write_same_capable function for instance). But kernel patching is not a really good solution, if I have to patch my kernel everytime the main kernel is updated...
After some research, I found that my hardware RAID driver seems (I'm not sure) to be the kernel module "mpt2sas", so I checked both may and june isos of Archlinux and it's the same version (14.1) so it shouldn't be the problem.
Does somebody can help me on this issue ? I don't really know what to do now.
Thanks for reading, if I forgot something or if you want more informations, ask me!
Bye.
PS : My English isn't very good, sorry.
EDIT : I found a part of the solution ! It seems to be an issue with the kernel that doesn't detect properly if my disc is capable of doing WRITE SAME command.
So I have to write "0" in the file "max_write_same_blocks" under /sys. But the problem is that /sys is renewed every boot so I don't know how to make my changes permanent. I made a systemd service file, it almost works, but this solution isn't nice : the parameter is applied lately so errors shows at the beginning and this is not really easy to set up. I prefer a solution like "sysctl" but it seems that it only controls parameter under /proc/sys and not /sys, am I right ?
Moreover, I tried two other things : Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.9.4 works and Archlinux iso with 3.8.10 has max_write_same_blocks > 0 and it also works... So I don't really understand this issue. Maybe in 3.8 the parameter max_write_same_blocks has no effect (or not the same as in 3.9) ?
Here is the systemd file that I made to reduce the issue :
[Unit]
Description=No WRITE SAME
After=local-fs.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo 0 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/host0/target0:1:0/0:1:0:0/scsi_disk/0:1:0:0/max_write_same_blocks'
RemainAfterExit=no
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
This is not a good solution, see my next post. I don't delete it in case you want to compare.

I found a solution to disable the WRITE SAME command. That doesn't answer all my questions but it solves my issue. I was looking for a file like "sysctl.conf" but for /sys parameters : you already can do that in Arch, just create a file that ends with ".conf" in tmpfiles.d and add one line per parameter you want to modify. This file will be loaded early at boot.
To disable it in an existing Archlinux installation, add in you file the line :
w /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/host0/target0:1:0/0:1:0:0/scsi_disk/0:1:0:0/max_write_same_blocks - - - - 0
Read the manpage of tmpfiles.d if you don't understand this line, it depends on your configuration and you can't copy it.
Then reboot and no more error !
If you want to disable it during the Arch install, just change directly the value you want in /sys. You have to do it at the beginning before mounting partitions, for instance just after choosing your keymap.
Bye.

Keyboard issues while installing Windows XP with Bootcamp

Hi there,
I am running bootcamp and when I am starting to install Windows XP I can't actually move into the setup because the keyboard won't work. Is there anyone who found a solution?
Thanks.

Same problem..........went back to the old keyboard and everything installed and worked fine in OS X and win-XP. swapping in the new alum keyboard the option key doesn't work during the boot select. once the machine boots to the default OS either mac or windows everything works in that OS.
Something I noticed: during the boot select.... the old keyboard gets power immediately, mouse lights up - keyboard cap-lock light is on. with the new alum keyboard the mouse and cap-lock light do not light until the default OS starts to boot with no boot select in between.
Looks like a boot camp setup doesn't know about the new keyboard even though it is recoginized by drivers in the two OS's. anyone know who to call for help at Apple?

Microsoft Update On setting during install?

What happens exactly during instalation of a SCOM 2012 R2 MS when you select "Microsoft Update On"? I did this but when I check Windows Update settings it is still disabled.
Thanx in advance.
Regards,
Chris

If you select "Microsoft Update on",It's responsible for upgraded and Update Roll-ups for SCOM Server
But it's not recommended to enable it because There aren't as much updates for SCOM as there are for windows server and they are cumulative too. SCOM servers should be upgraded \ have Update Roll-ups applied in a specific order and manner.

Error 2869 in Vista during install of Dev Env 1.3

If you try to install the version 1.3 of the Developer Environment on Vista, there is a change you may get an error 2869 during install.
This has to do with the UAC in Vista and requires some special handling when creating the installer package.
I don't know if this will reach the developers at SAP, but here is some references to how to handle the problem:
How to make the installer package correctly:
http://www.shahine.com/omar/VSTOAddinsAndVista.aspx
How to get better error codes than 2869:
http://blogs.msdn.com/mshneer/archive/2007/03/02/windows-installer-fails-on-vista-with-2869-error-code.aspx
For users, again depending on your UAC (User Access Control) settings, this MAY help you.
Create a .bat file with this content:
@ECHO OFF
ECHO.
ECHO Installing on Vista
ECHO.
ECHO Be sure you are running this as Administrator!
ECHO.
PAUSE
ECHO.
ECHO.
CD C: ... path to ... B1DESetup_2005SP01_1.3_VS2005
msiexec /i "B1DESetup.msi"
ECHO DONE
ECHO.
ECHO If this didn't work you may have to disable UAC in Vista while installing
PAUSE
Save it.
Right click the .bat file and select "Run as Administrator"
If this doesn't help you may need to disable UAC while installing.

Hey .
Tried this, then i Disabled UAC, then i read on another thread here that the Namespace had to be 4 chars long.
Still same error ...

Any Ideas anyone ?

Internal keyboard ignored during booting

My MBP suddenly ignores any keyboard command during booting like the option-key or cmd-opt-p-r. It only responds to an external usb Apple keyboard. It operates normal under OS X though.
This happened after I tried several times to install Win Vista and Win 7 RC through Boot Camp on the original hdd (320GB Seagate) to no effect.
If I insert the original Vista dvd and press the option-key I can choose between OS X, Windows and EFI. Pressing Windows results in just a black screen, but pressing EFI results in an error screen stating something like BSD (double kernel panic) and then a sort of powerpoint presentation starts: the screen starts in grey and redraws about 10 times from the top to the bottom, every time a little darker until a full black screen. A few months ago this dvd installed just fine on this MBP using a different hdd.
PRAM reset and SMC reset using the external keyboard brought no redemption. Is there some sort of system reset that goes a level or two deeper than these two resets? It seems that EFI is damaged somehow.

Actually, if you cut out all the specs I included, it is simple; regardless of whether I use a wireless combo or simple PS-2 keyboard and mouse directly coupled with no networking between the computers, the keyboard will deactivate on bootup about half the time on either computer. I have also noticed that BIOS checked Soundblaster fails to activate at about the same rate, but not necessarily at the same boot up. This is evident because I have a case bottom speaker that was used for detecting problems at bootup, although MSI does not have a similar program to Soyo Voice Doctor. The speaker still records Soundblaster kick in.

Error During INSTALL of Application Export File

An error is reported during INSTALL of an application that I am trying to copy (Import/Install) from a "development" Work Space into a "production" Work Space. The production (target) Work Space is on the same HTML DB instance as the development Work Space.
I am receiving the following INSTALL error:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 15, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &quot;,'39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W')) END)&quot; when expecting one of the following: . ( * @ % &amp; = - + ; &lt; / &gt; at in is mod remainder not rem &lt;an exponent (**)&gt; &lt;&gt; or != or ~= &gt;= &lt;=
Following is some pertinent (hopefully) information:
The above INSTALL error takes exception to part of a Region Select (sql) that works fine in the development Work Space.
The common HTML DB (v1.6) instance is on UNIX.
A new Work Space was created on the same instance.
A new schema name was created during creation of the new Work Space. However, this schema does not point to a database. (We were not certain how to setup the schema to parse to our live database.) I will be running DBLINK upon production application startup in order to access the database objects.
EXPORT INFO -
File Format: UNIX (also, tried DOS but received same error during INSTALL)
IMPORT INFO -
File Type: Application/Page Export
File Character Set: Western European Windows 1252
Target Work Space is newly created on the same HTML DB instance.
INSTALL INFO -
*Parse As Schema: COLLIVE17 (Again, this schema does not parse to a database. I intend to use DBLINK.)
*Build Status: Run and Build Application
Please refer to above error message.
Again, any insights or suggestions are appreciated.

Urgently need help! I've read several other Forum messages having a related problem but none having same Install error message.
Again, my Export/Import from development Workspace to production Workspace is successful. The following error is reported when I attempt to "Install" into the production Workspace:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 15, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &quot;,'39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W')) END)&quot; when expecting one of the following: . ( * @ % &amp; = - + ; &lt; / &gt; at in is mod remainder not rem &lt;an exponent (**)&gt; &lt;&gt; or != or ~= &gt;= &lt;=
The "snippet" of Region Sql Select code that relates to the reported error is:
ELSE htmldb_item.display_and_save (5, DECODE (GET_GRADE_B93 (sac.stc_final_grade,sac.stc_verified_grade),'18','AU','1','A','3','B','4','C','7','CR','5','D','46','DR','6','F','47','FW','49','IB','30','IC','31','ID','23','IF','44','MW','9','NC','21','RD','14','RD0','33','RD1','32','RD2','34','RD3','35','RD4','36','RD5','37','RD6','38','RD7','39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W'),'GRADE_'||ROWNUM) END q_v_grade,
HTML DB version is: 1.6.0.00.67. I've also tried to Export/Import/Install the application into the "same" Workspace specifying the same schema, and only changing the Application ID. However, I get the same Install error (see above).
Any suggestions on things to try in order to get application into production is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Bernard.

Creative cloud installer just disappears during install

I had creative cloud and on last update most of the applications are gone along with the desktop icon.
I have tried to install creative cloud again - but it just stops halfway and disappears during install.
I've tried safe mode install
Ive renamed OOBE folders in both librarys
I've tried the adobe application manager and that crashes on install
I've tried the Adobe clean up tool
Nothing is working to get creative cloud to reinstall on the computer - I've lost about 4 applications in creative cloud
Working on a Mac - Yosemite OS

Hi! The cleaner failed - simply could not detect any creative cloud products. ( It did find a previous CS6 installation, long since uninstalled, actually).
Didn't get a chance to try ROOT, as an Adobe tech (Loveneesh) remoted in and did some 'known fixes'... basically he cleaned up the failed CC desktop installation ( deleted a couple of folders) - and then gave "wide open" permissions to a couple of sets of library folders ( One for machine, and one for user). I believe they were
/library/application support/
/library/application support/Adobe/
/users/[username]/library/application support/
/users/[username]/library/application support/Adobe/
Still couldn't install CC desktop, (failed twice!) BUT that at least allowed the installation of "Adobe App Manager" - which was subsequently UPGRADED to CC Desktop. Something of a clever workaround, if you ask me!
And now its all working OK again.
I'm a bit bothered by the somewhat cavalier ""Everybody" permissions applied to library folders, but as I understand this is the quick fix when nobody quite knows what the heck is going on with permissions... (I suppose ROOT access gives much the same effect for installations)

My ipod touch is disabled, i installed the latest version of itunes, but cant figure out how to restore, can anyone help with this?

My ipod touch is disabled, i installed the latest version of itunes, but cant figure out how to restore the ipod, can anyone help?

If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

Audigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP3

FAudigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP3! Specs
Asus a8n-sli
GB RAM
6600 GT
Audigy 4
LC Power 550 W PSU
I put in the installation CD that comes with the card. I want to install everything (full install), and mid-install I get a blue screen.
I then uninstalled everything and tried only to install the updated drivers from the website in safe-mode and still a blue screen. Should I get the dump file and send it to Creative?
How do get this card to work like it should? I also have a remote control that came together with the card.
Im currently using the onboard AC97 Realtek ALC850 soundcard.
Whats the whole procedure to make this work? Detailed please. How do I eliminate all traces of the audigy on my PC?

Re: Audigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP38 Perhaps you'd want to read this old thread of mine about my misadventures with the same exact card you are trying to use. IMHO that card was not worth the time and money I spent on it (even even less the time and money it caused me to spend afterwards to repair the damage it caused.
