Missing .MSI but with a twist

Hi There I have searched the forum for the specific answer to this message I keep getting when I try to either download and install OR remove with CCleaner.
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. I am not on a network with this computer. I have this also with IObit program when I try to uninstall it. It is still showing up on the list of programs to uninstall. I am using Microsoft Windows Vista SP 2. Also for some reason my DVD player is not showing up in the device manager and somewhere along the line I read that iTunes/QuickTime are most likely the "culprits".
Any help is appreciated, Thanks KSB

Many thanks.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Photos missing from iPhoto/TM backup but with a twist.....

    So, there is a challenging twist associated with this case of missing photos and I hope an expert can provide some advice. Note: This is not related to upgrading from iPhoto '09 to '11 thank goodness!
    Here is the story in condensed form, with additional details below:
    MBP stolen but backed up with TM
    Used TM on the replacement MBP to browse backup of iPhoto backup of stolen MBP
    Restored iPhoto library to new MBP
    Open iPhoto on new MBP and browse library
    Everything looks OK except *FIVE* Events which show in the Event viewer as blank grey squares. However, the Events have the correct titles and show the correct number of pictures in brackets in the title. In addition, using the trackpad to scroll over the Event there are no thumbnails visible. If I click on the Event all the photos are greyed out but they do have the correct titles and keywords below the grey boxes. If I click on an individual photo I get a black exclamation mark in a grey circle. Interestingly the LAST IMPORT folder in iPhoto DOES show the thumbnails for ALL the missing pictures, all arrange with the correct Event titles. Of course, clicking on any individual picture gives me the same exclamation mark detailed above.
    After reading these support forums I have tried the following:
    1) Viewed package contents ---> the blank Events DO NOT show up as folders in the Finder window
    2) Used COMMAND & OPTION to launch iPhoto and checked the following boxes in the REBUILD DIALOG BOX: rebuild small thumbnails/rebuild all of the photos' thumbnails/recover orphaned photos/examine and repair permissions ---> Issue persists
    3) Download iPhoto Manager and tried EXTRACTING all the photos from the library --> Photos from missing events still not showing up. Not really surprising given that the VIEW PKG. CONTENTS in #1 above didn't show them either.
    4) Used iPhoto Manager to REBUILD LIBRARY --> still doesn't show them
    5) Used TM to browse the backup directly --> missing photos have blank placeholders only.
    It appears for what ever reason the photos have been deleted from the backup. I say "deleted", as opposed to "not backup up", because iPhoto has the remnants of the photos (i.e, Events, thumbnails, titles, keyword, etc.). Any suggestions on how to possibly recover these missing pictures. How about the thumbnail versions at least, even in their their low resolution form. Although, I admit I don't know how/where thumbnails are dealt with in iPhoto as they don't seem to show up in the Library package contents.
    Additional info:
    OSX 10.7.5, iPhoto '09 is version 8.1.2, and iPhoto library is 75GB, 139 Events, 28,000 pics
    The day before the MBP was stolen I downloaded a number of photos and did some editing. That night plugged the MBP in and noticed that the Time Machine did a number of backups through the night, although the iPhoto library seems untouched but can't be sure. The following morning, the computer was used for a few hours and thus had plenty of time to complete any backups necessary.
    The *FIVE* Events that are affected seem to be the most recent ones, worked on the night before the MBP was stolen.

    I cannot say for certian but it is highly likley that YES, when the person finished editing they just closed the lid of the computer and didn't actually quit iPhoto. So would this explain why there are fragmenst of them in the backup (i.e. Events, keywords, thumbnails, etc.) but not the actual image files? Any way I can at least save the extremely low res thumbnail versions?
    I'm also going to try Data Rescue on the camera memory card to try and recover them that way.
    Thanks.

  • Automator & podcast - but with a twist

    So, here goes.
    Every day, numerous small audio segments, from 5 seconds to 2 minutes long, get delivered to a particular gmail account as attachments, each a single attachment to an individual email. They are then routed to a mailbox on my mac.
    I need an automator action - or several - to do the following every day:
    a) download the audio attachments from that mail folder to a folder on my desktop or elsewhere;
    b) format those into a daily podcast - but not one big single file, rather a podcast with "enclosures" (is that what you call it?) where each segment is a different track/chapter;
    c) upload the podcast, appropriately formatted, to some filespace somewhere.
    The podcast/feed on my Typepad site will, I assume, link to the newest file each day.
    Is this the kind of thing that Automator can do? Do I need another piece of software in addition? If so, what? Should I attempt to do it myself, or hire someone?

    Many thanks.

  • Same old Bondi blue FBT story, but with a twist?

    Hi.
    I've been all over the internet trying to understand the FBT workarounds for an old Rev A Imac and I apologize in advance if this is a redundant question.
    I must admit I'm now a little confused. I think the problem with the computer is a bad FBT. When I press the power button, I get an amber light, chime, spin up and then a pop and it shuts down. When I connect an external apple monitor to it, it boots right up. Here's the kink-when I connect a PC VGA monitor through an adapter (I've tried two different adapters and three different monitors), the light stays amber and no chime. Finally, when I disconnect the external monitor and boot, with no monitor connected (just the adapter plugged into the back of the bondi) wait for the chime, and then connect the external monitor, all is well and it boots. I want to remove the motherboard and power supply from the case and just make a new case with an external monitor. Any suggestions on what this might be? Reset PRAM? Bad PRAM battery?No hope at all? The power button seems to remain amber the whole time. Should it turn green or some other color at some point?
    PS-This was all done with the original OS 8.x software on the machine...
    Thanks in advance!!

    These forums have many more readers than posters. Some readers would be ready, willing and able to answer your question, but they may not be native speakers of English. When you use acronyms, like FBT, but do not define them, readers may have trouble understanding.
    When I connect an external apple monitor to it, it boots right up.
    Then it is working fine. The iMac power supply uses the Flyback transformer to generate various Voltages used to power Digital Logic inside the iMac. If the Flyback Transformer were not working, you would not get to the software-generated chime that indicates booting is likely.
    when I connect a VGA monitor through an adapter (I've tried two different adapters and three different monitors), the light stays amber and no chime.
    Then your adapters are not the right ones for that Mac. It is very common for the wrong adapter to cause no green light and no picture.
    The adapters do two jobs:
    1) they shuffle the signals around to the right pins so that you can get a picture on the display.
    2) they provide a code on pins 4, 7, and 10 that tells the Mac what display is attached, thus limiting the resolutions that the Mac will allow. On later Macs they can tell the Mac to look for Digital Data Channel information from the Display.
    Do you get a good boot up and a picture on the internal display if you boot from a System CD appropriate for that Mac? This test bypasses your Hard Drive and all the software on it, effectively cutting the problem into Hardware vs. Software.

  • Another 'can this wirelessly extend my network' question, but with a twist

    Perhaps not a great twist, but I'm running a powerline network in my home, from an Apple Extreme-N Airport. Love the speed, but am wondering if I can simply plug an Airport Express on the far end of the house into the powerline system and use it to broadcast the signal where it's a bit weak.
    Is this possible? It sure seems so. I much appreciate the help

    Welcome to the discussion area, applenewbie80!
    but am wondering if I can simply plug an Airport Express on the far end of the house into the powerline system and use it to broadcast the signal where it's a bit weak.
    Yes, you can do this if you configure the AirPort Express as a "bridge" to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name, security and password as your AirPort Extreme network.
    Then, computers will be able to "roam" from one area to another and stay on the same network. Or, you could assign a different name and log in for the AirPort Express wireless if you preferred.
    Post back if you need more information.

  • Yet another imessage to one specific person thread - but with a twist.

    Hi.
    Monday this week I started experiencing difficulties sending imessages to one specific person from my phone. The messages would leave my phone but I get no indication of anything - no red error symbol, no "delievered", just silence. We are constantly sending each other messages and have been for quite some time - always using imessage. First off it looked like the messages was not being sent at all but I have discovered that they are delivered after 10-20 minutes.
    What I have tried so far:
    Can successfully send and recieve messages to and from others using imessage
    Rebooted phone
    Turned off imessages and reset network settings
    Turned off imessages and facetime and removed email addresses
    Used flight mode with only WIFI enabled and vice verca
    Tried from a new iphone device set up as a new phone
    What the other person has tried:
    Can successfully send and recieve messages to and from others using imessage
    Rebooted phone
    Turned off imessages and reset network settings
    Tried from a new iphone device set up as a new phone
    I do not have the faintest idea as to what can be the problem now and would really appreciate some good pointers.
    Regards
    Thomas

    Good idea. But wouldn't this have been covered by trying to message each other from a new phone - set up with no restore and hench being empty?

  • Another "can't download support drivers" question (but with a twist)

    From looking through the forum it seems that a lot of people are having difficulty downloading the drivers through the boot camp assistant, and the most common advice seems to be to use the drivers that come with the snow leopard 10.6 install disc.
    That's all good and well, except I have just bought a brand new iMac and it had Mountain Lion on it already. It did not come with any software installation disc.
    So my question is: how do I get the windows support software onto my machine if I can't download it through the boot camp assistant?
    Should I have received a system software CD with my computer?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Well I got everything up and running today, not a bother.
    It actually only took about an hour, if that, to download the drivers. Possibly because I downloaded them early this morning (which would be the middle of the night over in the US and so probably a lot less people trying to download it from the apple servers).
    For a while only the keyboard was working but for some reason the wireless mouse wasn't, but I just ran the driver installer again and it seemed to resolve itself.
    So thanks for all the help guys, much appreciated.

  • Ipod not being recognised, but with a twist

    Hi,
    My ipod nano 5th Gen is not being recognised on my computer. It is now being recognised by the computer itself sometimes, but not itunes. However, when I plug my ipod into my partners laptop, its fine. More to the point, when they plug their's into my laptop, it recognises them. To me, this suggests that both my laptop and my ipod, individually at least, are working.
    I have been through the ipod support page, and gone through all the steps, and to no avail.
    Final details. I'm Windows 8, and my itunes is totally up to date. I have re-installed iTunes, and have reset my ipod to factory settings on another computer. It still doesn't work, please help if you know anything about this!!
    Cheers,
    Ralf

    I have the same issues. itunes 5.0.1.4 doesn't recognize my mini. ipod updater doesn't recognize my mini either. i have uninstalled itunes 5 and reinstalled 4.9, but it didn't work still. something in itunes 5 changed something in my system that reinstalling 4.9 doesn't fix it. updater just shows that i have no ipod connected. if i try to get updater to check for my ipod during the updater installatin, it just sits there and says "waiting for ipod". it's not my usb port because i can read and write to my ipod. i did the entire list of chores that apple suggests on the site including disabling all other functions and services, reinstalling the com port, uninstalling everything, reinstalling everything, getting windows install clean up, e v e r y t h i n g! nothing worked.
    I then installed itunes 4.9 and updater 1.4 in my other laptop. i was able to update to firmware 1.4 using that computer. when i put the ipod into that computer w/ itunes 4.9, everything works fine. of course, it asks me if i want to link that laptop w/ my ipod. i said no, because i want to use my original laptop w/ the ipod.
    anybody have a solution for this? it's like we all have the same symptoms and going to the same doctor and we end up having to diagnose ourselves. this is extremely annyoying and inefficient.

  • Same problem printing pdf but with a twist

    I am having the same problem as others have described in not being able to print certain pdf documents.  I have tried all of the suggest "fixes" including uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat XI Pro. (I am on a Windows 7 Professional system).  The twist is that if I open the pdf on my Ipad I can print it from there - just not on my windows based PC.  Now what?????

    Hi Paul,
    Please refer to this KB doc. Troubleshoot PDF printing | Acrobat, Reader and follow the steps in order to resolve the issue.
    Let me know if the issue persist.

  • Same problem with 10.4.9 but with a twist

    So I am having the same problem many others are having after installing the new update. There is just the grey scren with the apple logo and a spinning progress wheel. I have tried to start up from the installer disk to reinstall, However, I am told that I don't have enough free space. So how am I supposed to free up any space when I can't get to anything!!
    mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Unless you have a bootable backup/clone on another disk and can boot into it, you'll have to boot with the install disk, enter your language, and, when the menu bar pops up, select Utilities->Terminal and use it to delete stuff. If you're not familiar with the command line interface, you have a daunting task. Alternatively, if you have another computer, you could mount the mini into target disk mode (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583 for details), and use the host computer to delete stuff from the mini.

  • I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open

    I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from an external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. While setting up my new MAC the external hard drive was dropped and I have been told by an outside source they could not retrieve the files.  It had 4 years of photos and videos on it. I remembered that I had downloaded some of the videos from the external hard drive (before it was broke) to Adobe Organizer 13 when I installed the Adobe 13 on my MACOS X 10.9.5.  I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open these videos?
    Any input is greatly appreciated!! I am sick over losing the videos and had a little hope on Adobe Organizer until I was unable to open them.  I am thinking it is due to my external hard drive not being plugged in. I thought when I transferred from the external hard drive to Adobe 13 that it would be there without the external hard drive needing to be attached but maybe I did something wrong.
    Thanks again for any help!!!!

    It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
    To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
    Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

    can anyone help with facetime? im getting missed calls but it doesnt actually come up with an incoming call.....the person im trying to contact just gets missed calls also?

    I've noticed that once you miss a call on FaceTime on a desktop Mac, it won't work properly again until you restart the machine.
    I sent in Feedback so we'll see how that goes.

  • OEL-5 finally released but with many desktop packages missing

    Hi,
    OEL-5 GA has just been released but with many client (desktop) packages missing (as opposed to CENTOS-5 where all RHEL-5 categories are bundled into only one distribution). Namely, three months ago RHEL-5 has been released in three basic categories:
    1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop
    2. Red Hat Enterprise Linux
    3. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform
    The complete souce code for these distributions resides in two Red Hat ftp directories: "5Client" and "5Server" with different contents. It seems that OEL-5 GA includes only packages from "5Server" directory. So, many important applications are missing:
    - openoffice.org
    - kdepim (kmail, knode etc)
    - thunderbird
    - fribidi
    - gaim
    - k3b
    etc.
    I'm little confused, since it would be very stupid to have to download those packages from CENTOS-5 or self-compiling them from Red Hat source rpm download site.
    N.J.

    Thanks a lot Wim.
    Yes I know, the problem didn't exist in RHEL-4/OEL-4, since AS was superset of ES, WS and Desktop. Unfortunatelly, It's not the case in version 5 where client version includes many packages that are missing in server version and vice versa. To avoid complications with new subscription channels, I would suggest the simplest and the most logical solution: all three categories BUNDLED in single distribution OEL-5 GA and only one subscription channel, just like CENTOS-5 (six CD ISOs).
    Regards
    N.J.

  • Firefox crashes or runs but with splotches missing color, how do i fix it?

    when I start firefox my desktop starts flashing on and off and when it returns there are splotches missing color. firefox then either crashes or runs but with the colors muted and images distorted.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

    I had this same problem and started a thread, but for the most part nobody responded and those who did somehow didn't understand what the problem was.

    I'm sure the problem is sweat getting into the apple supplied headphone "remote." Basically even the smallest drop can slide down the wire and get into the unit.
    Unfortunately I haven't found a solution other than to get a Belkin remote adapter and some sport headphones. This doesn't give you voice over, but you can still control the volume, skip, etc.
    I've been doing this for a couple weeks now and it hasn't had a freak out since.
