Make, gzip, man, and other tools not properly installed

Hey,
I have installed Solaris 8 on a SPARC box. It is running good and the IPlanet server and another applicaiton server are doing their jobs. However as I try and do things (add perl is how I found out) I keep finding that I am missing commands. So far the ones that don't work are man, gzip, and make. I have no idea why they wouldn't be on the system but i have run find several times and drew a blank for make. I found man and gzip, and if i run gzip from the directory which it is installed in it will run fine. I found man but it won't run at all. Has anyone else encountered this??
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
I am not sure if you tried this yet but type the following in a terminal window:
#echo $PATH
This will tell you what is in your path. It sounds like your path is not set correctly seeing as you said in order to run gzip you have to cd to the directory that it is installed in. You may want to add these to your path in your .login file.

Live Paint and other tools not working?

Hello,
Most of the time while using Illustrator almost all my tools except for the pen tool do not work, as in the mouse icon turns into this circle with a line through it, and doesn't allow me to do anything on my layer, and it's just one layer nothing else. Why does this happen? I have a drawing that I image traced on illustrator, and would like to paint it now, but I can't use the live paint option. Sometimes the select tool doesn't select anything and it just disappears!
Can anyone help me with this?

I'm a complete beginner to illustrator and I thought it was just another small thing that beginners are not familiar with and that other people can relate? Anyway, I use Illustrator CC on a Mac. Here is a capture I made trying to use the brush tool:
The cursor of the mouse doesn't show, but it is like I said, a circle with a line across. This is where the live paint doesn't work as well:
Maybe you can spot something on my screen that I'm doing wrong?

Distiller 9 not properly installed and other questions

I'm beginning to think I may have gotten a bad installation disc.
I'm Running CS3 on a MacBook Pro, with OSX 10.5. When I got the installation disc for Acrobat 9, I followed the directions for removing Acro 8 and installed Acro 9. I came across a need to print a pdf file from MSWord, part of the Office 2004 package. Word was still trying to use the Acro 8 pdf maker. I informed Word that Acro 8 was no longer available, and went to tell it to look for Acro 9. Word then informed me that Acro 9 Distiller was not properly installed. Has anyone else experienced this? It's either an Acro 9 issue or a MS issue. I'd be curious to know which, before I get totally frustrated and remove Acro 9 in favor of Acro 8.
Has anyone else come across this message? (Wording not exact) You are about to start Acrobat 9 for the first time, do you want to continue?" Before you start replying to this one, I saw it when I launched Acro 9 for the first time, as everyone else. I saw it again the next day, and the day after, and several times since then. It doesn't show every time. It seems to happen more often when I launch Acrobat by launching a file created by a previous version of Acrobat and the file launches Acro 9. Seems like it happened with a Acro 9 created file as well. When I launch Acro9 as an application, and not as a result of double clicking a file to launch the application, I don't get the message.
Minor question: Did the "Getting Started Window" get left out of the Mac version?
thanks

Hi Mike,
I'm going through the process of trying all the ways pdf files are supposed to be created. I was going to use the PDF Maker button. Not working, I'm not one to give up, I will sometimes threaten the computer with a rocket launcher. Most of the time, the computer sees things my way and cooperates, this time is different.
I went to file > print from work and selected Acrobat 9 as the printer, then I was directed to locate Distiller. So thinking "no big deal," I went to locate Distiller 9 so that I could print pdf files using Acrobat's virtual printer, and got slammed, Distiller 9 not installed properly.
http://www.creativehwy.net/ScreenErrors/Acro9Errors.html
If you'll check the link I've posted, you can see, the Distiller is grayed out, I cannot select it in order to use Acrobat 9 as a printer from Word. I can do a file > print from Word and in the lower left, select a pdf option, create pdf or create postscript file with any of the other printers selected. While most of the time, I'll get a good conversion on the pdf file, as a prepress technician, it leaves my mind to wonder if it's going to work every time. Some of these printers that I have drivers for have hard set margins, so there is a concern that some data might get clipped when generating the pdf file this way.
Oh My! Was just looking at the screen shot, and it might open a can of worms or it might not, I wonder if Acrobat Distiller should be renamed to Adobe Acrobat Distiller...

We usually advice first to Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache in case of such problem and then do a check for extensions to see if any are causing the problem.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hi Tamekia,
I am sorry to hear nothing has worked yet. I have looked up some additional information and possible solutions. Follow the steps in this document to perform a level-three uninstall, register the Windows Installer Service, and then reinstall the HP software. An uninstall and reinstall of the software deletes and overwrites any of the files that might cause the error and resets the Windows Installer. HP recommends that you download the latest software from the HP Web site to remove any files that might be causing this error.

In XI pro, exporting PDF to Excel problem. Excel columns and data are not properly aligned. Help?

I used 30 day trial of Acrobat XI and all the functions work perfectly. But, when I buy the program (either download or disk) my PDF that export to Excel is not working. The excel columns and data are not properly aligned as they should be. The Trial version aligns everything perfectly. What is happening? I use a MAC 10.9.5. But this shouldn't matter because the trial version works perfectly. Can anyone help?

just found out that this is posted in the wrong section.

When did Apple turn into piece of ****? It prompted me to update itunes and install icloud. I did. It crashed saying it was not properly installed and reinstall it. Since then I have been trying. I worry if my thousands of dollars worth of music is lost

I had a very similar problem, error 4251. (look in your log you will see that error) Since I finally fixed my problem, I thought I would see if I can help someone else.
What I found is that I lost burn ability in both iTunes AND Windows. Like you did. I did some digging and found that this wasn't hardware related at all. In fact, this boils down to a registry key getting messed up. (sigh) Yeah. It causes the system to get a bad 'handle'.
OK, here's what to try. Go to this Microsoft KB article. Scroll down and find the *manual* instructions for Vista. Delete the registry key that it specifies. Reboot. Now verify that you can burn in Windows. (If you have a RW disc, do a disc erase, or just try and burn from Windows Media Player.) If that is working now, you're on the right track.
Now the issue is that iTunes will still be broken. Go and install the latest Gear driver. (I know you may have done it, but do it again.) Now follow the intructions in this Apple KB article to verify the "GEARAspiWDM" info is back there in the registry. Now reboot. Try and burn in iTunes.
I hope this helps.

I can not download newer themes. It continues to say So and so could not be installed because Firefox does not have the needed files. Also.. For the newer version, where is the tools option?

I am trying to download a new theme. Lava theme. However, it will not let me download that or any other theme for that matter.
It continues to say, So and so could not be installed because Firefox does not have the needed files. What does this mean?
Also, on the newer version.. I can not find the tools option..

The Firefox versions which come with many Linux distros have the default Mozilla Firefox updater disabled and use the distros built-in updater.

Fix 'itunes was not properly installed' and missing cd drive at the same time.

Hello,
I have a classic problem here. I have been searching all over internet but I can find any solution that can fix both the problem at the same time.
You might know that to fix the error message 'itunes was not properly installed. bra bra bra... if you want to burn cd' then you have to add some value into windows registry which is 'UpperFilters' with value 'GEARAspiWDM', and that fix the error message problem.
But then... after that my computer can not see the cd-rom drive due to error code 19. I googled it and found the solution that say I have to delete the 'UpperFilters' altogether with 'LowerFilters'. OK! that would fix the cd-rom problem but then I would just go back to the strart! I have to torelate with the itunes error message again!
So... My question is 'How can I fix both problems? I want the error message to go away and also want to use my cd-rom drive at the same time. I have tried a clean uninstall and reinstall itunes solution but it didn't work and I also try instal an up to date GEARAspiWDM driver but it didn't work either.
Please help.

OK - upon backing up and seeing the results, I see that it has backed up both the HDD and the external, so i kind of answered the question myself...

Some of my photos from my iPhone are sinking to my iPad and others are not. I can't work out why this is the case. Everything seems to be set up correctly.

Having had an iPhone for some time, I recently purchased an iPad. Everthing has been set up correctly in terms of iCloud, this was checked by Apple today, the set up in iTunes relating to photos says sync all, again I think this is correct.
However, some photos from my iPhone taken before I purchased the iPad are sinking to the iPad and others are not. I have no idea why and would be really greatful for any insights on this matter.
Furthermore, I have since deleted some photos from my iPhone but these still appear on my iPad and I am unable to delete them.
Thanks for your help! It's driving me nuts!

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you - Just what I needed
