Loading Installation Information Issue

I'm currently installing Lion OS after completely erasing everything on my HD due to corrupt files and a bunch of problems. I'm currently stuck on a screen that says "To download and restore Mac OS X, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple. Loading Installation Information". I did quite a bit of research on what's going on here, and I'm aware that it's downloading the OS and it takes several hours. But it needs WiFi to download (obviously), now when the computer goes to sleep, the WiFi shuts off, is it still being able to download? I've been sitting here for hours waiting for it to finish. Any suggestions on what to do? Here's what it is showing me if you're wondering. Sorry for the crappy quality, Acer netbooks don't have a good webcam.

You should be in Lion community and/or MacBook Pro.
The tech note I found:
OS X Lion: Unable to download OS X Lion wirelessly from Mac App Store - "Your device or computer could not be verified"
Products Affected
Mac App Store, OS X Lion
Symptoms
When attempting to purchase or download OS X Lion from the Mac App Store wirelessly with your Apple ID account, you may receive a dialog stating "Your Device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance." This could happen when upgrading Mac OS X v10.6.6, 10.6.7, or 10.6.8 to OS X Lion via a Wi-Fi connection.
Resolution
Use the following steps to delete your network preferences.
Important: You must be logged in as an administrator.
Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
Choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Copy the file networkinterfaces.plist to the desktop (to make a precautionary backup).
Delete the file "networkinterfaces.plist." from SystemConfiguration.
Restart your Mac.
Create new location in Network preferences, in System Preferences.
Once your computer has restarted, you will need to refresh your network settings to be able to connect to the Internet again:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Network from the View menu.
From the Location pop-up menu, choose "New Location".
Type a name for your location and click OK.
Click the Apply Now at the bottom right to accept the changes.
If your network connection requires any special settings, you will need to enter them again.
Once you have made these changes, you should be able to connect to the Internet, open App Store, and try your OS X Lion purchase or download again.
Additional Information
This issue may occur if your Mac's Ethernet port is damaged or inoperable, even if you aren't using Ethernet to try to download Lion.

Logic board replaced...asking me to reinstall OS X Lion, but stuck on "loading installation information" for 4 hours. What to do?

I had to have the logic board in my 7 month old iMac replaced due to the fact that my now exboyfriend put a firmware password on my iMac remotely and I couldn't get into my computer. I took it to the Genius Bar and they replaced the logic board so I wouldn't lose any of my files. I just got it back and when I turned it on, it is asking me to reinstall OS X Lion. So, after hitting continue, a box comes up telling me that they have to verify the computer's eligibility with Apple and that it is "loading Installation Information". I've been stuck on this screen for 4 hours, at a 18.25 mbps download speed. What do I need to do? Tried searching forums, but nothing really gives an answer.

Take it back to the Apple Store and make them fix it.

Loading Installation Information during recovery

I erased my MacBook Pro and used recovery HD in order to reinstall OS Lion. When it checks my version eligibility, it hangs on "Loading Installation Information". I left it to load overnight and still nothing. I am using an ethernet cable and I tried my wifi, neither has worked.

Samole,
which model MacBook Pro do you have?

How long should Loading Installation Information take with a formatted Drive?

The OS was corrupted when installed over an incompatible 10.6 version of Centrify. It should have been uninstalled prior to installing Lion, so I was hoping to do a fresh install without restoring anything related to older applications to sort out network hang conditions. Restoring from Time Machine does not appear to offer selective restore in terms of Apps and Users.
I am now waiting for more than hour at a window over the prompt "To set up the installation of Mac OS X 10.7, click Continue" that says:
To download and restore Mac OS X, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple. This just has a throbber spinning in front of the message
Loading Installation Information... " I have about 16mbit/sec Internet connectivity, how long should this phase of the reinstall operation take?
When I first installed Lion, a bootable image of the initial version of Lion was made that was able to restore Lion to an erased drive in about 28 minutes. It seems that image has been disabled by changes the MacBook boot flash. Is there a way to be better prepared, and how long should this process take starting with an erased drive?

Sorry to hear that saga. This time download another Lion installer from MAS by going to purchases and holding the option key. When downloaded it will appear in /Applications. Save it off to several different places on your disk and off.
Also, consider keeping bootable clones with SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
That way if you have a problem, just boot up from the clone and keep on working until you're ready to fix.

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

Lion clean install stuck at loading installation information

I have a 13" Core2duo MacBook Pro with Lion installed through the Appstore. I recently upgraded my RAM and hard drive at an apple service center. Before upgrading i created a recovery USB disc using the recovery assistant app.
But now when I try to use that disc to install the OS it gets stuck forever at "Loading Installation Information" screen.
I get the same effect even if connect my old hard drive and boot into its recovery HD.
My Snow leapord DVD is in my other house in a different city.
The support center has refused to help me on this.
Please help me.

Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
If you can, boot from your old drive. After you startup clone the old drive to the new one:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external old drive. Destination means the internal new drive.

CR VS 2013 error: Additional information: Failed to load database information.

We have VS 2008 (V9.0.30729.1 SP1) using .Net 3.5 under Windows Server 2003 R2 Data Center Edition. VS 2008 came with Crystal Reports Version 10.5.3700.0. We developed a little report in a winform to run against Oracle 11gR2 using the OLE DB support in the CR Report Wizard in the VS 2008 IDE. It was a standard report with some code to print the report directly to the printer with out the viewer control. Here is the working code:

We want to migrate this report to VS 2013. We installed VS 2013 Professional (V12.0.30110.00 Update 1) under Windows Server 2012 R2 Data Center Edition. We downloaded CRforVS_13_0_9 and installed it in VS 2013. We moved the project from VS 2008 and opened it under VS 2013. It looks like it converted OK. When we run it we get the following error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll
Additional information: Failed to load database information.

Failed to load database information.
More information: We can step through the wizard in VS 2013 using the standard template and add a report viewer control to the form and point it at the report and run it just fine in the VS 2013 IDE when there is no code in the form1_load event. We feel we have the Oracle.DataAccess.dll for the 11.2.0 client installed and tested correctly on the server and do not feel there is an issue with data base installation. When we add back the code above to the form1_load event and run it we get the error above.
We have the logger set up but nothing gets added to the log files.
We have tried three different ways to set the data source to resolve the error that is occurring at this line of code that is failing but with no luck:
crReportDocument.Database.Tables(0).SetDataSource(DataSet1)
crReportDocument.SetDataSource(DataSet1)
crReportDocument.Database.Tables(0).SetDataSource(DataSet.Tables("edi_filing_source_lov"))
Do you have any other suggestions we could try?
Bruce

Hi Bruce
In my experience, the only reason for the error is that the there is an issue with the dataset and as a back up sort of a thing, the report engine is attempting to connect to the database the report was created off of. To test the dataset with the report, see this wiki on how to.
Also, ensure that you have a look at this KBA.

Crystal reports 2010:Failed to load database information

Hi guys,
I had a vb.net project with crystal reports 2010 for the reporting.The report works fine inside vs 2010.I tried to build an installer for my project using 'Advanced installer'. In Advanced installer there's an option to import the run time engine for crystal reports for .net framework 4.0 which is 'CR Run time 64bit 13_0_1' but since my system and other target systems are 32 bit,I figured to also import the 32-bit version.
But first when i followed the path for the package there was nothing so i downloaded both 32 and 64 bit run time engine then located them i that path.
Just for the information,when i installed crystal reports on my PC,i think it installed 'Crystal Reports for visual studio'
So i built the installer and installed it on my PC but when it try to view the report it crashes.I also try to install it on another PC and it throws this exception:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.DataSourceException: Failed to load database information.
Error in File CrystalReport6 {566E2F0C-8C45-4647-8017-15BD6DB1F195}.rpt:

What am i missing?

You have two distinct issue here - one on your dev computer and an unrelated on on the deployed computer.
First your deployment project.
You have to decide how you want to compile the app; 32 bit, or 64 bit?
For 32 bit app, use the 32 bit msm file
For 64 bit app use the 64 bit msm file
Next, you are using Service Pack 1, current SP is #9, so update both your CRVS install (using the install exe) and the deployment project with the correct msm. Links to the msm files and the install exe are in this doc:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
Once you have SP 9 installed, recompile your app making sure it still runs. Then build your deployment project and deploy. See what happens then...

Unable to load database information

Hello All,
I am facing an issue while scheduling a crystal report from CMC or Infoview. When I schedule the report It throws an error saying "Unable to Load Database information". The report's data source connection is oracle database.
I have provided the database credentials,format and destination in CMC/Infoview. The BOE environment is as follows:
OS: Windows 2008 server 64 bit
BOE: Business Objects 3.1sp3, Crystal reports 2008 sp3
Oracle Client: oracle 11g 32 bit client
When I change the connection from oracle server to ODBC connection the report works fine. Is there any steps I am missing or is there database drivers connectivity issue because BOE and oracle are 32 bit client and OS is 64 bit client.
All the suggestion/answers are appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

First thought is that the application cannot access the DSN or database driver that the report was designed on, this could be permissions.
I tried to ping my database and was unable to find the host. I was under the assumption it was using TNSNames which is able to resolve.
How can I validate the permissions?
As I said I'm a little lost here. Apologies if I ask stupid questions.

ITunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services

Hi,
I have Iphone 3GS with the latest version 3.1.3 and iTunes 9.1. After i uograded my iPhone to the latest version i am not able to sync with the iTunes and receive the message "iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services, Reconnect or Try later". I am using Windows XP with Symantec Endpoint protection.
I have tried following steps to troubleshoot the problem but all my attempts have failed,
1. Uninstall iTunes by Removing, iTunes, QuickTime, BonJour, iPhone congiguration Utility and Bonjour. Remove all the iTunes and related folder from the C:/ drive
2. Restart the computer and intall the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime
3. Restore the iPhone to the factory settings using iTunes
4. Restart the system as well as hard Boot the iPhone (Hold Start and Wake/Sleep Button)before connecting again
5. Repeat the Steps 1 and 2 after restoring the iPhone
I am still getting the same error and now I can't even open the first page for iPhone in iTunes when I connect it to my computer. All my content is still in iTunes but everything is lost on the iPhone.
I searched the Apple support and they talk about problem with the Symantec Endpoint. I have the latest version of Symantec endpoint way above what is mentioned on the Apple support page.
Can someone please help me, it seems restore worked for most of the people facing this issue, but for me even restore is not working.
With Regards,
Ankur

I got a present of an itouch. This is my first time back to apple after 5 years. I cant get my itouch to sync due to dataclass error on Windows XP pro. I have installed the latest version of itunes 9.2.1.
WHAT IS THE POINT IN OWNING A DEVICE FOR PLAYING MUSIC WHEN YOU CANT LOAD THE MUSIC !!!!!
Does anyone have a solution or alternatively (shock horror) Apple could actually get its AR*E in gear and fix the problem. I would also suggest that Apple would post a friggen solution on its website, but no that may be too much to ask.
very frustrated. any help gratefully received otherwise the touch gets thrown out.
thanks

We have the CPU set to x86 as we are ultimately trying to generate a 32 bit app for XP and Win 7. We only installed the 32 bit run time on this pc because we have no intention of going to 64 bit apps on the clients. Are there additional dlls or something that has to be installed in the same folder as the exe on this development machine.

Looking at the AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\AppCrash_myprograminfo led us to the last dll loaded being:
LoadedModule[211]=C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\crdb_adoplus_res_en.dll
State[0].Key=Transport.DoneStage1
State[0].Value=1
FriendlyEventName=Stopped working
Scanning the community for "crdb_adoplus_res_en.dll" we got a hot on this issue again:
Failed to load database information. Error in File temp_
From the above we found this:
1. the app.exe.config is all in one package which cannot be separated with the EXE file.
2. the supporting component such as dll files, app.exe.config etc CANNOT be combined into the EXE file
Adding the cr3Test.exe.config to the same folder as the cr3Test.exe RESOLVED the problem on Win 7. It also RESOLVED the problem on Server 2012 R2.
We still need to test on Server 2008 R2 but we are hopeful when that time comes.
Thanks.

ITunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services-Solution

Hello all. I recently upgraded to iTunes 9.1.1.12 on a laptop with Windows XP Pro and the latest iPhone OS (as of May 16,2010). Right after that, I started getting the "iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services" error message. After I dismissed that window, it would go ahead and indicate that it was synching for a minute or two, and then indicate (in iTunes) that it was backing up the iPhone. This will run forever unless cancelled and the phone would not synch.
After reading various solutions that worked for others (install Mobile Me, reinstall itunes, run diagnostics, all with numerous reboots in between), this is what worked for me:
1) Open up Windows Services, and stop the Apple Mobile Device and iPod Service, and mark them as manual (as opposed to Automatic).
2) Deinstall iTunes
3) Delete the c:\program files\common files\apple folder (and all sub folders within). This is where the services are stored, and when I did all of these steps without doing this step, it didn't fix my problem. By deleting this folder, you insure that the iTunes install reinstalls these. You should see the services that were stopped in step 1, running again after the install is done. Note: I don't use Safari or QuickTime on my laptop, so I can't say whether or not this step would have any impact on those apps.
4) Reinstall iTunes.
5) Connect the iphone to your computer.
6) At this point, I still got the dataclass error, so I immediately cancelled the synch.
7) Run the diagnostics for the iphone (connectivity and synch).
8) At this point, two DOS windows launched, and I did get another error about being able connect to the synch server.
9) Closed the error message and disconnected the iphone (the phone at this point did not indicate that a synch was occurring).
10) Reconnected the iphone and, voila, it's been working fine ever since.
Hope this helps someone else out until Apple deals with the 9.1.1.12 (and .11) issues with synching.

Either do Windows Control Panel → Administrative Tools and then picking "Services" or typing "Services.msc" in the Run command on Start menu.

Error in File 180+DAYREP.EWARP: Failed to load database information.
I have done some research on this but no luck on resolving the issue.
Any suggestions are welcome thanks.

First thought is that the application cannot access the DSN or database driver that the report was designed on, this could be permissions.
I tried to ping my database and was unable to find the host. I was under the assumption it was using TNSNames which is able to resolve.
How can I validate the permissions?
As I said I'm a little lost here. Apologies if I ask stupid questions.
