Make bootable CD instructions for Sol8 download

I would like to confess to this forum that I am another one of the numbskulls who is unable to make the CDs from the images.
I tried to make the CDs by following the instructions at http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/instructions.html. As instructed, I also followed the instructions in EZ CD Creator to make bootable CDs. I wound up with many CD-Rs that could boot Win98 and prepare me to troubleshoot a faulty C:\ drive, leaving me at the A: prompt.
But thanks to Allan of Sun Develloper Support, it seems that contradictory to the explicit instructions at the URL above, we must not create bootable CDs since the .iso images themselves are bootable.
I get the feeling that making the CDs is just the easy part in the installation;its after now that the real headaches begin...

Well, working in the MS world, it's been a while since I had Macs to troubleshoot, I did not know about the GUID partition setup, so thanks for that.
I finally sorted thru a bunch of IDE's and setup a fixit drive. I used a cheap SATA/IDE combo drive adapter. now I can go thru drives including the 2.5" ones at leisure 8^)
Am fat and happy on the DW front. I never used to have only one drive on any Mac, either, for exactly the same reasons listed here.
Now I have to see if the spinning pizza wheel is still a problem. I ran top on the terminal. mds, fsevents, and directory services want to take turns being stuck, but not all the time. Seems good as I write this.
Will update on that problem after I run some music for a while
Thanks all.

A script or terminal instruction for modifying download finder window?

Sometime back, somewhere, someone posted something that made it possible to view the downloads window with "date downloaded" replacing "date modified." When I open that window I want to look at recent downloads. The modification date of the app I've downloaded is less relevant to me than WHEN I downloaded it. This was a great little addition. Now I can't find it. Has anybody seen it anywhere?

I'm not trying to be troublesome. Just trying to get an answer. My downloads folder ~downloads doesn't empty, because I don't want it to. I downloaded a widget yesterday. ( iPhone_Linkpad.wdgt.zip ) In ~Downloads it shows as "Date created is Aug 6 2009", "Date modified, ditto"
I had forgotten its name and couldn't find it in my downloads folder. If the date of the download was showing there, I could have found it. Fortunately it was still showing in Safari's downloads screen (which does empty).

Where can I find installation instructions for JDBC driver?

Is any one here to help me out by pointing out where I can find the installation instructions for the downloaded oracle 8i jdbc driver?

You will find the installation instructions for JDBC Driver in the JDBC Developer's Guide & Reference.
Here is a direct link to it http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/901_doc/java.901/a90211/getsta.htm

This is not difficult and you will not have to download from the app store.
your computer has what is called a recovery partition that came with it.
simply hold cmd+R while you boot up. let go a second after you hear the chime.
you will boot into the recovery partition.
Use disk utlity to format your usb drive and then exit Disk utlity and go to Reinstall Mountain Lion.
it will ask you which disk you want to install ML onto. Choose your new USB drive.
easy peasy

How to make bootable iso from download

how to make bootable iso from download

This one - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5587
1st: This is NOT a .ISO file!!
2nd. It is a .MSI file which is a Microsoft Installer file.
3rd: Read the instructions:
Install Instructions:
Click the Download button to start the download.
Do one of the following:
To start the installation immediately, click Run.
To save the download to your computer for installation at a later time, click
Save.
To cancel the installation, click Cancel.
When installation completes a file called readme.txt will open to provide instructions for burning a home computer restore CD. The file is also located
next to the ISO image file for later reference.
4th: If you are unable to read and follow instructions, there is nothing anyone in these forums can do to assist you. You must be capable of reading and following instructions!
Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread. ”
OK, well sorry to disagree with you but:-
1. Using windows 7, the download does not provide a save but only a run option.
2. In the MS predownload instructions you copied it refers to the readme text next to "the ISO image"
3. This is a copy of the read me file attached:-
"This ReadMe document is one of the Windows Home Server Home Computer Restore CD files. Unless you changed the installation location during setup, the Home Computer Restore CD files and license terms are located in one of the following folders:
* On Windows Vista: %HOMEPATH%\Documents\Windows Home Server Home Computer Restore CD (Dual Boot)
* On Windows XP: %HOMEPATH%\My Documents\Windows Home Server Home Computer Restore CD (Dual Boot)
To use the Home Computer Restore CD software, you must write the ISO image file (restorecd_dual.iso) to a blank CD. A CD/DVD burner is required to write
the ISO image file to the CD. Usually a CD/DVD burner includes the software that you need to write ISO image files. Follow the instructions with your burner software, and then select the option to write an ISO image, not the option to write
individual files. Note that you cannot write the ISO image by using Windows Explorer to copy the file to the CD-ROM drive.
Burning the ISO image creates a bootable CD. To restore your home computer, boot the computer from the CD and follow the instructions.
Microsoft may update the Windows Home Server Home Computer Restore CD software. You can download the latest version from the Microsoft Web site at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=109282.
If you want to review the license terms for the Windows Home Server Home Computer Restore CD, the file EULA_DUAL.TXT can be found in the same folder"
As you will see it refers to the downloaded .iso file. Nowhere is there a reference to a msi. As there was only a run function on the downloaded file, it could not be saved. How is an ordinary Windows user meant to interpret the instructs
if the download function does not work? What you do is try and follow the instructions and produce a load of frigging coffee mats, as it seems did many of the posters on this thread. Are we all illiterate?
If Microsoft could think in the way of a user it would help a lot of people.
So Rick Dee, please inform me how I misread the instructions?

I cant make a bootable (usb/dvd) for windows 8.1 pro 64 bit

right now i am using windows 8.1 pro 32 bit ,, want to change to 64 bit , my CPU is 64 bit and i have 4 GB ram (i know i should have more ram ,, but i dont do this upgrade for the ram , but because some emulators , and some application
ask 64 bit) so i used every possible way on my computer , using windows 7 download tool , rufus , etc programs to make the usb , imgburn for dvd , i did from a friends computer that is windows 8.1 pro 64 bit ,, but nothing everything DOESN'T work ,
all 32 bit editions boot and install just perfect (created by my computer ) so its not a computer problem ,, when i put the media on my computer (dvd/usb) and restart and boot on it ,, its shows me the windows logo ,, after 20 seconds (too much)
it shows the ring , and then it reboots the computer (2/10 tries it manages to go in the language selection screen ,, but when i click next ,, and then i click install now button ,, it reboots again) what is going wrong , and how can i fix it (where
should i make that bootable media ?) i have bought the windows from dreamspark ,, so i use a official iso and serial key

Hi,
This is not license problem, in my opinion, it's more relate with hardware and their driver problem.
Firstly, it would be better to contact the manufacture to identify if your computer support Windows 8.1 X64 edition.
Secondly, if your former system was not removed, try to access into the system and upgrade BIOS editon, after that, try to reinstall the system again for test.

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

My Apple id was disabled and had to make a new one for iTunes but it's not letting me erase then re download the app with the new Apple ID

My Apple id was disabled and had to make a new one for iTunes but it's not letting me erase then re download the app with the new Apple ID Just got an iPad air 2 so my iCloud and family sharing is with the one that's disabled. Which I don't know how to switch to my new one, so I trying to erase my apps that won't load and just re download them with my new ID that is being used with the iTunes n app store but I can't even find most in purchased plus it's saying that I can't get it cuz that ID is not with family sharing but I donT know why it would not be. Please someone help.

OOk so I have my new Apple id in my iTunes account but my old Apple ID is the one that is in the iCloud account which is the Apple ID have been using for years and the reason I cannot get it on this abled is because somebody was using my credit card or debit card that was on file for family sharing and it was a stolen iPhone from my account so they had to disable my Apple ID and I could not use my debit card anymore on any Apple ID ever again they said because of it so I can't get it not to be disabled and I can't sign into iTunes with it I already have signed out and signed in with my new Apple ID for iTunes it's just iCloud is not letting me load anything so pretty much what I've been doing is I have to erase every app and then re-dumb going to iTunes and re-download the apps again but the only issue is that I still have a disabled Apple ID as my iCloud settings and my iCloud family sharing in all of that so I'm wondering how or is it possible to change my Apple ID for iCloud specifically because when I go into Icloud and settings and go into my name where my Apple ID is the one that's disabled it doesn't say anything about log out or sign out or anything like that it just says to put the password for it so is there a way to change the Apple ID for my iCloud so that my iTunes in my iCloud is the same Apple ID?

I have an iPhone application already developed and it works great ,now i need to make that same application for my iPad .can someone please tell me step by step instructions on how to make it .

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

Hi cindy,
If you all have individual Apple IDs, then you would be able to dowload music from a shared iTunes library on a computer, but you would not be able to sign on each individual ID on an iOS device in order to download music purchased under the original Apple ID without a 90-day waiting period between sign-ons.
Here's what I mean:
If you were to sign on a new Apple ID on, say, an iPhone, and then were to purchase and download some music from iTunes, then you would have to wait 90 days before you could sign on the old Apple ID to that iPhone in order to download previously purchased material (and vice versa).
However, if all of the music purchased by that origjnal Apple ID is in an iTunes library on a shared computer, then you can hook up the device and selectively sync any music in that library to the device. You can also sign on any of the Apple IDs to that shared iTunes library and purchase music to be added to the library.
You would need to authorize the computer for each of the new Apple IDs.
Each of the Apple IDs would also be able to download that music purchased either by syncing to the iTunes library on the computer or by downloading it OTA on the device.
So, each Apple ID can download music, movies, etc. purchased with that Apple ID OTA to the device. Also each Apple ID can sync any music, movies, etc. that are in the iTunes library on the computer regardless of who purchased them.
The only other thing you would need to remember is that if an App needed to be updated, then the original Apple ID that was used to purchase that App would come up, and the password that goes with that Apple ID would be required to do the update.
Hope that helps,

Instructions for Downloading and Activating the JCOP Tools

In response to my question:
I refer to JCOP Tools available on Eclipse.
If the plug-in free for download?
If it is not, kindly provide a proper hyperlink from which those interested can place their order.Listed below is the reply from IBM. Can anyone who has successfully obtained the activation code this way confirm whether you need to foot the postage?
Cheers!!!!
There is no charge for the JCOP Tools. The tools are provided as-is with no warranty or support. Instructions for downloading and activating the tools follow.

If you require a sample card, you must now approach the silicon vendors directly . Our current silicon partners are Philips Semiconductor, Samsung and Sharp. In addition you may be able to obtain JCOP sample cards from suppliers on this list http://www.zurich.ibm.com/jcop/order/cards.html
JCOP Tools are subject to US Government Export Controls, and therefore each install has to be activated individually to ensure compliance. Please follow the instructions below for each copy of the tools that need to be activated.
Prerequisites:
   1. If you do not already have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed, download and install a JRE or JDK. You can do so from this website (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html). Please note that we recommend the use of JRE version 1.4.2.
   2. If you do not already have the open source software development environment Eclipse installed, download and install Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/), You can do so from this website(http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php). JCOP Tools require Eclipse 3.1
To download the tools and start install:
   1. Download the current Update Site image from here (http://www.zurich.ibm.com/jcop/download/eclipse/image/tools.zip)

   8. Select the file tools.zip
   9. Click Open then OK then Finish
10. Eclipse Update Manager will start to install the plug-in, continue with the install as needed.
For an activation code please send me ([email protected]) the following information:
   1. Your full postal address - the serial number will be sent via International Courier for US Export control reasons.
   2. Your contact telephone number
   3. The serial number of your JCOP tools install
   4. Your planned usage/reason for needing the JCOP tools
   5. If a student, a copy (fax or digital photo) of your student ID
For the serial number (item 3 above):
   1. Ensure you have downloaded and installed the JCOP Tools
   2. Start the Eclipse IDE
   3. From the menu bar click on File > New > Project

12. Once you have that number click on Cancel then Abort (Note: the Java Card project choice will be disabled until the next time you restart Eclipse)

For those who are interested to use the JCOP simulator for a start, I have checked that the plug-in and feature files (in tools.zip) for Eclipse are still available at IBM site, please download and install yourself.
I still keep a copy of user guide for JCOP tools (version 3.1.1a) and the contents are still relevant to Version 3.1.1b simulator in tools.zip.
If you are interested to have a copy of such document, kindly drop me an email to [email protected]

Can I make a bootable DVD from the Mavericks download. I would like to wipe my iMac and start over.

Can I make a bootable DVD from the app store download of Mavericks. I wish to wipe my iMac clean and start over
thanks in anticipation

Well you can make a bootable dvd this way:
After downloading the Install OS X Mavericks.app file from the Mac App Store, run these 12 commands in Terminal to create a Mavericks.iso file and then burn it to a dual layer DVD with Disk Utility. You may then boot up from it by holding the option key down and then install mavericks. This will not install a recovery partition. To do that, uncompress and run the script file https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13872235/Musings/Recovery%20Partition%20Crea tor%203.7.zip
hdiutil attach /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/install_app
hdiutil convert /Volumes/install_app/BaseSystem.dmg -format UDSP -o /tmp/Mavericks
hdiutil resize -size 8g /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage
hdiutil attach /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/install_build
rm /Volumes/install_build/System/Installation/Packages
cp -rp /Volumes/install_app/Packages /Volumes/install_build/System/Installation/
hdiutil detach /Volumes/install_app
hdiutil detach /Volumes/install_build
hdiutil resize -size `hdiutil resize -limits /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage | tail -n 1 | awk '{ print $1 }'`b /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage
hdiutil convert /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage -format UDTO -o /tmp/Mavericks
rm /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage
mv /tmp/Mavericks.cdr ~/Desktop/Mavericks.iso

Hi, This is the Adobe Flash Player Uninstall link:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
This is the Adobe Troubleshooting Guide which you may want also to review. I would suggest using the Manual Installers which you can download and SAVE to your Desktop. Pay attention to any apps using Flash, you may need to Disable any Anti-Virus. Be sure to use the Administrator Account and check Settings. Be sure to Reboot after running the Uninstaller and also after Installing.
