Km4m-v issues. Won't install XP or boot into it.

I have KM4M-v with Sempron 2200+, 40gb hdd, 512mb ram. Problem is, since installing the board the pc will not boot into xp. t gets to welcome screen then shuts down. It will go into and stay in safe mode hapilly, but won't boot into xp normally. I thought it was the build, so I tried to reinstall. It gets the the point where setup is about to go through process of asking about partitions after loading all the files, machine then shuts down. COuld this be a simple issue of heat transfer paste, or is it something else? I didn't use new stuff when I installed a new processor (managed to blow last one up - hence new mobo and processor!) Any help would be great!!

"Problem is, since installing the board " Was the mobo the last thing you installed, along with the Sempron? Changing mobo is a major change, and you do need a Windows repair install. This is very well done in SafeMode.
In many cases, a reactivation is needed when making this kind of upgrade, but time will tell.

Hey, I have burned a win7 .iso file to a dvd and was going to install windows with boot camp. After the partition was done my iMac (24-inch, Early 2008) restarted and the screen went black with a white line blinking in the upper left corner.

Macbook pro won't wake up when booted into Windows 7

Macbook Pro (Late 2010) with Snow Leopard and Windows 7 64bit. Bootcamp 3.3
When booted into OS X, then close the lid, let the machine sleep and later, if I connect to power source and USB keyboard and mouse, and then tap keyboard, machine wakes up.
If booted into Windows 7, if I follow same sequence, the machine won't wake up. The only way I can wake the machine up is by opening the lid.
Not a big problem, but certainly an annoyance.
Can anybody help?

Did you use a geniune windows installation disc? I ask this because I worked on a computer today where someone had tried to use a Windows XP disc that came with a Dell computer. These do not work.
If it was a genuine install disc, did you get all the way through with the installation, or did something go wrong during the install?

Lion Macbook Air installation Issues - Won't Install

I sucessfully installed Lion on my iMac, then I downloaded it with my same user id from my macbook air (1.4ghz). I proceed with the installation, it claims to finish and then reboots. The Lion App store icon then sits on my dock and the computer is still running Snow Leopard at least it seems to be. However, when I go to about this mac it says 10.7.
This is a mistake since the machine is still physically running snow leopard, there is no mission control, no air drop, etc, AND the lion icon is still in my dock waiting to install!
I have repeated this process countless times and keep getting the same results.
Please help!

did you mean to say 'this problem has been SOLVED' ?
i'm having the same issue.... and always presumed the downloaded lion install was fine since it does image checking, etc.
either way.... i'll be giving it another download and try again

OS 9 won't install - can't boot up from CD either

A little background on my original situation: When I bought my computer a few yrs ago it only came with 1 install disk (10.2.3) Classic was already on the machine. (By the way, because of the time frame in which I bought the computer, it does not have the ability to boot from EITHER os 9 or 10. It ONLY is able to boot up in OS X and Classic starts up when needed.) Last month I had a "kernel panic" and ended up doing an erase and install - and now any traces of Classic are no where to be found. (I backed up all of my documents & app programs but I didn't think I'd have to save all of the classic stuff too.) Anyway, I tried reinstalling from the original CD and it only installs 10.2.3...still no classic.
Fastforward to last week. I bought & installed Panther 10.3 and everything is great however I still need classic to open my old files. I also bought OS 9.2 on ebay . Problem #1: I put the OS9 disk in, restarted (and held down the C key) and from what I understand a CD background should be on the screen - however, it's just the plain blue normal screen. I'm not sure what's up with that. Am I doing it right or wrong? Did I buy the wrong version? (It's grey and says imac install software (small print = version 9.2) Did I need the disk with a big 9 on it?
Moving on... If I dbl. click on Install software icon - - - it starts to process then a box comes up that says "Classic cannot update files in "System folder" on "imac install" because the disk is read only. Open classic prefs to choose" Obviously it can't be installed onto itself so the only other choice is Macintosh HD and it is "greyed out" and I cannot click on it. Any advice would be appreciated, I'm getting desperate! Thanks
iMac G4 Flat Panel Mac OS X (10.3)

Hi, Denise. Every Mac that can boot only into OS X was originally shipped with an Install or Restore disk that can install OS 9 for Classic operation (not for booting). Yours is no exception. Somewhere on your single combined Install/Restore DVD (if that's really the only disk that came with your iMac) is a Classic installer; take a good look for it. If it isn't on that disk, there was originally another disk that contained it, which you may have misplaced and forgotten about. This article may help.
Retail OS X installer sets since OS 10.2 have not contained Classic installers, so your Panther installer set will do you no good as far as obtaining Classic is concerned.
The iMac-specific OS 9 installer disk you bought may not be usable. Unless it was originally shipped with an iMac model that isn't OS 9-bootable, it expects you to boot the computer to it. If that's the case, it won't be willing to install onto your hard drive, because the hard drive is the startup disk.
My understanding (and I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong) is that a retail OS 9.x installer (white with a big gold 9) wouldn't do you any good either. I believe that all such disks require you to boot to them before using them, and of course you can't do that on your iMac.
The best, and perhaps the only, option available to you is to locate the Classic installer on your original iMac disk, or if there really is none, order directly from Apple a duplicate of the other disk, originally shipped with your iMac, that did contain that installer.

Imac G3 won't install Os or boot from cd/dvd

Hi
I have an imac G3 450 with DVD-rom currently running OS X 10.3.9
It has 576 megs of ram and a 20gig hard drive.
I want to install Tiger but when the computer restarts it spits the disc out I have also tried to boot 10.3 from the CD and it does the same. It only spits discs out on restart! I checked and repaired the hard drive permissions but it did not solve the problem!
Has anybody ever encounter such a situation?
What can I do?
Thanks for any advice

Same thing happened to me. I did a work-around by attaching my iMac G3 700to my G3 Pismo laptop with a firewire cord and starting the iMac up in Target Disk Mode (restart iMac and hold down the "T" key).
I was then able to restart my laptop with the install disk and select the iMac for the Tiger installation.

My new blank hard drive won't install OSX from the disk?

For some reason my Mac book pro won't install OS through the install cd or through the flash drives. It will load the disk but then freeze when I click install. It won't load through the USB either. I have done multiple diagnostics at the mac store and they tell me that my hd is bad. Twice the hd was fresh out of the box and installed that day. I spoke to a supervisor via phone when I called apple care and he told me that unless I have all apple parts in the computer they can't accurately diagnose the issue. It feels like they're trying to con me into paying double for a "apple hd". What can I do to get my computer working?

I would purchase an external USB enclosure for the HDD. With the HDD in the enclosure, install OSX and then mount in your MacBook. If you continue to have problems, it could be a faulty internal SATA cable.

ITunes won't install (at all) on my Windows 8.1 64 bit computer

I've tried downloading iTunes for Windows 8.1 64-bit computers and it won't install on my machine. I did everything like I think I was supposed to ... but nothing happens. In addition I've tried connnecting my iPhone 5S to a USB port ... nothing good happens. My computer recognizes the iPhone but it won't do anything with it. Also I've tried the suggestions from "windows 8.1 itunes wont recognize iphone: Apple Support Communitites" which entertains that I can open control panel ... find Device Manager and try to install new driver software from my disk ... with the suggestion that I 'browse' and find "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. ... and "Apple" does not exist under Common Files of either "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)"
So now what????

What is the full text of the error message?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

I am trying to install the OVI application on my phone so that I can download apps and games but it won't install. After the install it starts up and I see the loading screen but that is all that I get. I do get an icon for OVI but if I try to use it it just does the same thing. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I have tried doing a hard reset and that does not resolve the issue at all.

MacBook Pro HD issues; won't boot to any drive; need to recover data

*Apologies in advance for the lengthy post. I just want to be sure I include as much detail as possible. Thanks in advance for reading all of this and offering any thoughts and suggestions.
I have a 13-inch late 2011 MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.
The computer recently began booting slower and slower until finally one day it did nothing but show the gray boot screen with the apple and a spinning circle and/or progress bar at the bottom. It won't do anything else. I assume it's the HD; no surprise there. What's killing me is that no matter what I do, I can't boot to any disk, internal or external, can't mount it in target disk mode, and can't repair it or recover data, which is a first for me with any HD. However, the computer still clearly sees the drive, and the drive sounds and runs normally (meaning no clicks; appropriate amount of whirs and such).
What I've done so far:
Reset PRAM — no help
Reset SMC — no help
Boot in Safe Mode — same result as regular boot: gray logo screen with spinning wheel
Disk Utility message:
Verify Disk — "Error: This disk nees to be repaired. Click Repair Disk."
Repair Disk — gets as far as "Checking catalog file" then shows "Keys out of order". Next is "Rebuilding catalog B-tree." Then "The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired."
fsck — same as Disk Utility: "Keys out of order (4, 22016)", "Rebuilding catalog B-tree", then "The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired." FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED." ...over and over again
If I hold Option while starting the computer, it gives me only two drives to boot from, regardless of any other external HDs or flash drives I have attached: Macintosh HD (internal), and Recovery HD (internal partition). If I choose Macintosh HD, it's hit or miss whether it prompts the Disk Utility screen or just gray-screens forever. If I choose Recovery HD, it successfully runs Disk Utility every time. Here's the thing, though — if I attach an external HD, it doesn't see it during the initial Option-startup. However, from Disk Utility I'm able to select a startup disk from the menu to restart into. It sees the externals in there every time and lets me select them as startup disks, but upon restart it returns to the gray Apple logo screen with spinning wheel and/or progress bar at bottom. Sometimes it also sees the internal Macintosh HD here, but selecting that is useless. I can't actually boot from any disk, internal or external, running full OS or even just recovery software.
I've tried using TechTool Pro 8's edisk and ProToGo bootable drives, but again, the MacBook only sees them from Disk Utility only (not on Option-start), and I can select them, but it doesn't actually boot to them; it reverts back to gray screen.
I've installed a full version of OS 10.10.2 on an external hard drive, complete with DiskWarrior 4 on it, but same problem as above — it sees it in the "Select Startup Disk" menu, but not in the initial Option-start or successful reboot.
I've tried booting from a DiskWarrior 4 DVD using C-startup. It recognizes and spins the DVD from the get-go. Eventually it boots to it (after about 20 minutes or so of reading the DVD). I'm able to launch DiskWarrior 4 and start a rebuild. However, it goes all the way through "Step 6: Constructing optimized replacement directory... Overlapped files detected: 7 ...Step 7: Finishing construction ...Step 8: Reading from disc, one moment please..." and then the computer kernel panicked. This happened several times. I reset the PRAM again, then retried DiskWarrior DVD boot, this avoided a kernel panic and it got as far as "Comparing directories... Step 9: Recording any file or folder differences; 3,449,089,956 tests..." and then DiskWarrior and the computer both freeze and I have to force shutdown.
The drive will not mount to another laptop in Target Disk Mode.
Disk Arbitrator immediately sees the the faulty laptop HD, but won't let me mount or unmount it. It's just there, grayed out.
Data Rescue 4 is able to see the faulty laptop HD through Target Disk Mode, even though the drive itself will not mount to my desktop. I am able to scan the drive using DR4, and start a data recovery process. However, DR4 is dumping all recovered data into "User Defined" ai (Adobe Illustrator) files, which makes absolutely no sense at all. What's more, the files aren't able to be opened by any program. Even files that it hasn't recovered into ai files, like txt and mpegs, cannot be opened. I've tried recovering from both the drive itself and from a clone of the drive (made through DR4), with the same result each time.
So, all of that said, I guess my first question is what the **** is going on? The drive mechanically is functioning fine, but there seems to be an issue with its readability (and the directory/files?).
What's more, why won't this laptop mount ANY drive? I should be able to Option-boot into any drive, especially if the USB ports, drives, and OS's are all fully functional, right? Is there any workaround I'm missing? Even if the internal drive and data are just screwed, what's causing a total lack of mounting or booting of any drive, internal or external?

Holy crap, I got it to work.
Essentially, I just waited until DiskWarrior reached Step 9 and told it to skip the step before it had a chance to freeze. It skipped successfully, moved on, rebuilt and replaced the faulty directory files.
So far the computer is booting like normal, I can log in, and I'm currently copying all of the data to an external as I type this.
I still have no idea why the computer wouldn't mount or boot to any drive, but I guess I'll deal with that later.

Application (WMF 3.0) won't install during maintenance window, but will install when there is no maintenance window

Hi All,
I'm just getting into the Application model in SCCM 2012 R2 and I like what I see so far, but i'm running into an issue. When i set up an Application for WMF 3.0 with a prerequisite of .Net 4.0 and deploy it to a set of test systems that do not have
any maintenance windows applied to it, it works great. If it doesn't have .Net 4.0 it installs both that and WMF 3.0 and reboots. If it already has .Net 4.0, it will skip that and just install WMF 3.0 and reboot.
However, if i deploy it to systems that have a maintenance window applied, the application recognizes that it needs .Net and WMF 3.0 or just WMF 3.0, but it never actually runs.
Here is the applicable entry from the appintenteval.log, and i've bolded the line where it shows that WMF 3.0 is not installed

Thanks. I checked that setting and i have it set to false, so i don't think that's it.
I've done a little more experimenting. I've changed my maintenance window back to 30 minutes. Prior to the MW opening, i'll run an application evaluation deployment cycle on the system. It will show the system as required WMF 3.0 but since
the MW isn't open, it won't install at the time.
When the MW opens, i'll watch the ServiceWindowManager.log and it sees that it's a 30 minute MW and that the run time is 15 minutes but it still says the program can't run:

This is not the behavior i would expect. I would think that if the client knows it has a pending application deployment that is required, when the MW opened up, it would start the install immediately or close to the beginning of the MW. It shouldn't
need to have an application evaluation deployment cycle kicked off during the MW.

24" iMac won't install any 'large' Apple software updates from the internet

I am having a serious issue with my iMac and neither the people on the phone at Apple Care or the 'Geniuses' at the Genius Bar have been able to assist. So, maybe someone here can:
First - here is the background information about what happened and what I've done:
A few weeks ago when the new iTunes 10 came out I went to upgrade. The upgrade failed it said. So, I thought perhaps Apple was having issues with the new software or something. So, I thought - Ok, I'll give it a day or two.
I come back and try again from Apple.com - no luck. Hmmmm - well, I just happened to see my 'software update' icon pop up and there was iTunes. I thought "Great! Now I'm sure it'll install!" No luck.
So, I think - well, perhaps I've done something to corrupt my profile. So, I create a new profile and try again. No dice.
So now I'm really confused and figure - ok, let me try a partition and I'll try again. Still nothing.
Finally I figure - ok, something is wrong here. So, since nothing is working I backup my music and important files and wipe out the hard drive and start over. No luck. And, in fact - since I had gone back to 10.5.4 or whatever - software updates needed to install to get me back to 10.5.5. Those wouldn't install through software updates OR when downloaded from Apple.com - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue.
I decided to engage "Apple Care" and they call me at the time I specified and we begin to do some tests on the hardware and everything came back ok. We tried from Apple.com and software updates again - still won't install the software. Keeps coming back with "Software installation failed" something about the package installer was corrupted during downloading.
The guy at Apple care thinks perhaps its my network corrupting something. This begins to make a little sense and I think, maybe he's right. My wireless router isn't that great so, maybe I'll just go replace it. However, while I'm checking out I begin to think that maybe its NOT my wireless router - because I do have 2 other computers in my house who haven't had issues downloading anything. So, this is unlikely. But, I didn't like the wireless router anyway - so I went ahead with the purchase.
I get it home - set it up and try again. STILL not working. So, I make an Appointment at the "Genius Bar". I take it in - show them the screen shots of the errors and we get started. They try to do the install of either iTunes or the combo update on THEIR network - still won't work. The genius thinks I have a bad HD and takes the computer for 2 days to look at it.
I finally get to go pick it up - excited that I'll have my iMac (which I use for work) back and functioning again. I go pick it up and they decided that it wasn't my hard drive - but likely my RAM. They couldn't prove it was the RAM but figured since I bought the RAM after I bought the iMac that this must be the issue (even though it was up to exact Apple standards and was from Crucial). So, I think - well, while I have a blank slate I'll go ahead and install Snow Leopard. So, I pick up Snow Leopard and get new RAM too and go home to install.
I get the computer home, put the new RAM in, install snow leopard and get ready to work! After snow leopard install is done - it has some new updates it needs to install. And the update FAILS to install again. Oh, and they never replaced the HD.
So, I call Apple Care again - they have no clue. They suggest making an Apple Genius Bar appointment. So, I take it in again. They run diagnostics on it from their 'Triage' external hard drive and everything checks out. He says its probably the hard drive (same conclusion they came to the first time) and said that they would replace it.
I get the computer back - take it home. Everything is up to date. All the software updates were back in place including iTunes 10. However, I still want to test and see if I can download iTunes and/or do updates. So, I uninstall iTunes and download it again. Same problem. STILL won't install any large software downloads. But, again - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue. Just no core Apple updates or things like iTunes will download and install on my iMac.
I then took it to a friends house - set it up on his network - same issue.
So to sum up:
I have re-imaged the hard drive several times
I have replaced the ram
I have replaced my networking hardware (even though other machines on the network have no issues)
I have taken it in twice to the Genius Bar and they still haven't fixed it
The Problem followed the machine and exhibited the same issues in store as it did in my home (so we know the problems stays with the machine)
I have tried it on yet a 3rd network and the issue still exists
The people at the Genius Bar told me that If I still have issues then its with my network - even though its been proven it wasn't.
Its only larger downloads like Combo Updates and iTunes that won't install.
Any ideas? Sorry for the long post but its been quite an ordeal.

Yes, I have tried the updates directly from the Apple website and a different issue occurs. When I do that I get various different errors - the most common saying 'Codec overrun'. This has happened both before and after complete software OS reinstalls (Completely wiping the HD clean).
I did a video of my issue on my iPhone. I had to cut it and compress it to get it off my phone without syncing (because I can't sync it since I can't get iTunes installed now). So, its about a minute long if anyone wants to see it:

And yes, we tried to repair permissions a couple times but didn't seem to have any effect on whether it would install these updates. Again, it's NOT all software downloads/installs. It seems to be limited to LARGER pieces of software. Example: Firefox, Flash, Java and Silverlight have all downloaded and installed without error on my iMac. Apple combo updates and iTunes won't install at all.

Have photoshop 6 on a dead pc laptop with windows XP. Have a pc laptop that has been upgraded from Vista 64 bit (where photshop wouldn't install) to windows 7 professional 32 bit (clean install). Photoshop still won't install. Also having reinstallation

I have photoshop 6 on a dead pc laptop with windows XP. Have a pc laptop that has been upgraded from Vista 64 bit (where phootshop 6 wouldn't install) to windows 7 professional 32 bit (clean install). Photoshop still won't install. Also having reinstallation issues with pse6 on this same pc. Pse6 was installed and working on vista 64bit version of the OS, now won't install on rebuilt windows professional 7 32bit (keeps giving me serial number not valid errors). I'm not trying to pirate these programs. Just want to reinstall them.

you need,
Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a, or Windows Millennium
Microsoft Windows 98/Millennium/2000/NT 4.0 (Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a required)

Windows 7 won't install any Audigy 2 ZS drivers

I did a clean install of Windows 7 and noticed right away, that the drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS didn't get installed. Here is the error I was given via device manager / properties for card:
The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
This operation requires an interacti've window station.
Drivers I've tried:
From Windows Update, dated October 4, 2008<
Creative's website, Driver version?2.8.00, dated July 3 2009
Creative's website, Beta driver version 2.8.00, dated Oct 2009
Creative's website, Vista driver 2.2.0002, dated March 6, 2007
danielk's audigy support pack 3.5
When I tried the Creative executables and danielk's support pack, I do not get any errors during any parts of the install(s).
Windows Updates says the install failed with unknown reason. When I attempt to "update driver" through device manager, it says it finds the driver but it gives me the same error as mentioned?above: This operation requires an interactive window station.
What else can I try? I've also done an "upgrade" install of Windows 7 on top of the clean install (out of desperation). At this point, I feel like reloading my XP imaged install,?so I can have working audio again.
So, please, if there is something I can try, then please help. Is there a way to do a "logged" install and send it to someone at Creative?
Thanks for your time

So, just to update everyone on my situation. I think my issue was caused by the migration tool, Windows Easy Transfer.
I formatted the partition the partition that Windows 7 was installed on, and did a fresh reinstall. Upon first boot of the new reinstall, the audio drivers were still not installed. I then immediately tried to "update drivers" via device manager and Windows installed the latest beta drivers from October , 2009 with no errors.
Is there any reason why the install won't install the drivers on its own? Did it not ship with Audigy 2 ZS drivers?

Windows updates won't install

Hello,
I have a remote user whose Windows updates won't install. He has a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. You can bring up the update windows and start the install but, at exactly 10 seconds, it just says "Updates failed" and doesn't really give
any more information.
I saw the Windows update service was stopped, I started it and that didn't seem to help. I also tried the update troubleshooter and that didn't do anything. I checked for malware and didn't find any, and he has plenty of disk space. I didn't see
anything in Even Viewer or Reliability Monitor either.
What could it be?
Thanks.
Chris Hansen

Hi Chris,
Firstly, please check if those Windows Update have already installed:
1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type
Update, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Update.
2.In the left pane, click View update history.
3. Click Installed Updates at the top of the page, there check if any Windows Update installed recently.
If there is no any Windows Update installed, try to
reset the Windows Update component to check if it could resolve the issue.
