help with installing 2 os on one hd

RedMoose:
Congratulations on installing an upgraded HDD into your PowerBook.
I am not sure exactly what happened in the formatting process, but here are some directions that should help:
Formatting, Partitioning Zeroing a Hard Disk Drive
Warning! This procedure will destroy all data on your Hard Disk Drive. Be sure you have an up-to-date, tested backup of at least your Users folder and any third party applications you do not want to re-install before attempting this procedure.
Boot from the install CD holding down the "C" key.
Select language
Go to the Utilities menu (Tiger) Installer menu (Panther & earlier) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
Select Partition tab in main panel. (You are about to create a single partition volume.)
Select number of partition in pull-down menu above Volume diagram.
(Note: 1 partition is normally better for an internal HDD. External HDDs usually have more than one. See Dr. Smoke’s FAQ Backup and Recovery for tips on partitioning external HDD.)
Type in name in Name field (usually Macintosh HD)
Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Click Partition button at bottom of panel.
Select Erase tab
Optional: (Select the sub-volume under Manufacturer ID (usually Macintosh HD).
Check to be sure your Volume Name and Volume Format are correct.
Select on Security Options button (Tiger) Options button (Panther & earlier).
Select Zero all data. (This process will map out bad blocks on your HDD. However, it could take several hours. If you want a quicker method, don't go to Security Options and just click the Erase button.)
Click OK.
Click Erase button
Quit Disk Utility.
Open installer and begin installation process.
Please post back with further questions, comments or an update.
Good luck.

Installing Elements 11 on Mac. Need help with install error "Setup wants to make changes."

Installing Elements 11 on Mac 10.8.2. Need help with install error: Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." After entering Adobe password, nothing happens. Locked from further installation. Any ideas? Adobe phone support could not help.

Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.

Help with installing 10.6.3

Hello, I'm looking for a bit of help with installing Mac OS X 10.6.3 without screwing up.
I currently have a Macbook with 10.6.3 on it, and I want to COMPLETELY reset my Mac. I want to have a pretty much brand new Mac with 10.6.3, which I have the disk for. I actually just updated from 10.5.8, hoping that it would erase my hard drive and re-install, but it didn't. So I would like help with how to completely reset my Mac, and re-install 10.6.3.
Thanks in advance!

Use that disk, but after booting from it and before running the install, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu and erase the drive.

Need help with installing Yahoo style flash menu CS5

I downloaded the Yahoo style menu bar from the the available widgets. I got the menu bar to show in Dreamweaver, but need help:
I have trouble understanding how to use the f-source flash editor to edit the links.
I don't seem to be able to drop the f-source.com button from the menu bar.
The bar shows up as a tiny bar in IE8, not as I had programmed it in the widget programmer.
I was instructed to Insert ==> f-source menus ==> Edit menu in Dreamweaver. Doing this leads to the following message: "Install at least one f-source menu'. I did install the f-source-UI G file in the Adobe Extension Manager CS5. What else needs to be installed?
My OS is Windows7 and I am working with Dreamweaver CS5. Please help.
Thanks,

Flash menus (Flash navigation, period) is a terrible thing from a functional standpoint. It looks really nice, but the honeymoon ends there. As far as SEO goes, your entire site, beyond the landing page, is invisible. A search robot will only see an embeded Flash object.
You have to ask yourself a basic question.
1. What is the purpose of building a website and putting it online?
If it's for your own personal enjoyment and nothing more, then a Flash menu may be for you. If it's for a business or band, or a political group or social group, and you want people to be able to find it in Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. then you want as many indexible links as possible on your landing page so they will show up in related searches like schedules, articles, galleries, etc.

Help with Installing flash error- metafile cannot be loaded

I read the forum on this but it ended last year and there was no response to some recent questions on this and the direct email to the Adobe rep. on there got no response.
I am having this problem with installing Flash- it gets about 30% of the way and then a message comes up that says the metafile cannot be loaded.
I am running 10.7.5 on Mac, all browser software is current. I use both Safari and Chrome. After it said Flash was out of date I tried to update but got the metafile error. So I uninstalled Flash to install it fresh but the same error came up. I tried everything recommended from the forum. I also did all the steps from the help list direct from Adobe ( deleting Flash files, folders, rebooting, etc.) The offline link Adobe provides says the "file cannot be found" so I can't download that either. So I tried the online link download, but even after doing all the steps in order etc. I still get the error when I try to install it.
I have no firewall and have no virus software running. I also tried the direct offline links that others have provided from 2013, (unfortunately they are old) in both clicking on them and also downloading by right click but they are dead links and even the download for it has no content.
Any help that is more recent than last year? If this is in the wrong place, apologies. New to the forum.

I tried all solutions but one posted in adobe support. I am local administrator but IE security settings are set by group policies and buttons in tools security setting are grayed out.
After three days with "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" message I tried registering the activeX control manually.
Bingo! that made the trick.
So open a DOS window, type "regsvr32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx" -first check if this directory exists and contains the Flash10d.ocx (no quotes needed) and you should receive a confirmation that it registered correctly.
I must say that I've tried so many ways that I cannot repeat the correct order before this has worked ;-(
Hope it works for you all

Need help with installing Ubuntu on Lenovo Ideapad Z500.

I just bought a new Lenovo Ideapad Z500 yesterday. It came with Windows 8 pre-installed. Now, I also want to install Ubuntu over it. The disk is partitioned as follows:
Disk C: - 880 GB (approx)
Disk D: - 30 GB (approx) (I don't remember exact partition, as my laptop is currently at my home).
Then I thought, I would better re-partition the C drive into 1 or 2 small drives. So, I shrinked the C drive by going into "Disk Management", and then created 3 more partitions - 240 GB * 2, 300 GB * 1, and left the C drive with 100 GB space. I didn't modified the D drive.
Till then I didn't went through any infomation over internet. But, now when I went through this forum, I found out that my OKR won't work now, that I still have to confirm when I go home. So, now I'm worried. I scanned through so many post here, and no where found a way to install Ubuntu on Ideapad Z500.
I also read that it will be possible to run OKR, if I can re-store the partition to it's original. I think this can be done, since I just have to remove the volume I created, and allocate the memory back to C drive. And it will be back to original state, as I didn't modify D drive (correct me if am wrong, or if it can't happen).
So, the major question that I want to ask is, is there no way to partition my disk, and install Ubuntu in one of them.

hi rohitjain-rj,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
On a Z400 Touch running on Windows 8 preload, shrinking the the C-Drive under Disk Management and creating multiple partitions on the unallocated space and then reverting the partition back to original made the One Key Recovery work as normal - haven't tested this yet on the Z500 as there's no available unit but chances are, it may also work.
In installing Ubuntu, have you tried to install Ubuntu via Wubi ?
If Ubuntu doesn't start, boot into the BIOS (press the OKR button > select BIOS Setup Utility) and set the following:
Boot Tab
Boot Mode - Legacy Support
Boot Priority - Legacy First
Exit Tab
OS Optimized Defaults - Other OS
Regards.

Need help with installing old version of firmware

I would like to revert to an old version of firmware for my Airport Extreme base station. I have read in a number of postings that this would possibly help with the problem of my Canon Pixma ip3000 not working after the firmware was usdated. When I tried to install the old firmware, the Installer would not allow it, there was just a message that the software was up to date. Could anyone please give a step by step description of how this can be done? Is there a way around the Installer? Thanks.

The firmware supplied with the base station was 4.1. After installing it, everything worked just fine, including wireless printing to a Canon Pixma ip3000. At one point, after being prompted by a message onscreen to upgrade to 4.2, I did the download and installation, and that is when all the problems started. No wireless printing, and I can't seem to use the Airport Admin or Assistant (not responding). Since then I have also upgraded the OS to 10.4.5.
I am trying to downgrade to 4.1 since that is what worked initially and what was suggested in another posting I read.
I did look at the information for the various parts of Airport and noticed that the Setup Asistant is 4.2, the Admin Utility is 4.2 and the base station is 5.5.1. Could this be affecting the problem as well?
I will try downgrading using the link you provided. Thanks very much.

Help with installing new hard drive and transferring data?

I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch mid 2009 that is running OS X version 10.6.8. The hard drive is full and I have a new one I'd like to install, but I am awfly intimidated. I'm hoping that someone could shed some light on kindergarten-style step-by-step instructions on how to make the switch. I'm mostly concerned about the data transfer part. I've found a handy video about physically installing the drive, so I think I'll be ok there.
Here are the items I have in preperation for the switch:
• 1.0 TB Hitachi Travelstar 7200RPM Hard Drive
• Portable bus-powered USB 3.0 storage solution (to turn my old hard drive into an external hard drive)
• Tools including a small phillips screwdriver and some Torx Screwdrivers
• Time Machine Extermal Hard Drive with all of my backups
Here are some things I have read that I find to be confusing
• Some suggest I should transfer my data from the old hard drive to new new one BEFORE I install the new one. (I'm not sure how that works.)
• Some suggest upgrading to the latest OS X before transferring any data. (Would that be Mavericks? I haven't upgraded to that yet. Is that necissary?)
• Some suggest that I will need the MacBook Pro's installation disk to make the switch. (I don't know where that disk is. Do I really need it?)
If anyone can clarify any of the above issues that I've listed as confusing, that would be great. Also, if anyone can help me figure out what steps to do first, second, third, etc., that would be great.
Thanks!

Also,
Will I need the install disks for the Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft office when I put in the new hard drive?

Need help with Installing Canon LBP 2900B on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8

I know this is going to sound silly, but really need help with this, URGENTLY!!!
Bought a Canon LBP2900B printer more than a year ago, and was using it on my MacBook Pro with OSX Snow Leopard (10.6.8) very well. My hard disk recently crashed and now I cannot reinstall the printer, nor can I find the driver for it anywhere for the Mac.
Have searched all the forums and followed all discussion threads on the Apple Communities as well, but none of the solutions seem to work. Even went back to @Dexter's solution with trying to download the file from the link http://boolet.free.fr/CAPT.zip (this is what I had done when I bought the printer, and it worked perfectly) but the link doesn't exist anymore.
Extremely grateful if anyone can put up a solution to this, or alternatively, IF ANYONE HAS THE OLD CAPT.ZIP FILE AND CAN UPLOAD IT.
Thanks in advance. Look forward to your solutions.
Cheers

Depends on how the partitons are arranged. If they're exactly as quoted, then yes.
Open Disk Utility and select the partition tab.
In the diagram, the top partition needs to be the one you're booted from, and partition 2 the middle one.
Select Partiton 2 so that it's highlighted, and click the '-' button below the diagram.
Drag the bottom right corner of partition 1 down to meet partition 3.

Help with installing CS2 in Snow Leopard

Can anyone help me with installing CS2 on a MacBook running OSX Snow Leopard? I have trouble with activating the product and get a splach screen with a monkey element or logo rather than the adobe logos... confusion reigns!

Hi Rory, be aware that running CS2 products on Snow Leopard isn't going to be a supported combination. Here's a related thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/499253. Apparently some customers have been able to run CS2 software on Snow Leopard. You can also check with our chat support at http://adobe.ly/v6wfLL. However, I can't be certain that they'll be able to assist you. You might want to consider upgrading.

Need help with installing drivers

I recently installed Windows 7 Professional and have been having trouble with installing the drivers necessary for sound, USB, graphics, etc. I have the Windows drivers on an external drive, but the OS won't recognize an external drive because it needs the drivers to do so. My Macbook came with OS X 10.6 installed, but I have since upgraded to 10.7 through the App Store. I believe I can use my 10.6 factory DVD to install drivers on the Windows side, but if I have 10.7 installed, will it work right? I'm confused

IME driver is one of the very most important. TPM is only needed if you plan on using it. If you don't know what it is, then probably don't need it.
Quote
Please tell me in detail what drivers do what functions and which ones need to install ?
Most of them are pretty self explanatory. Unless you set the SATA controller to AHCI mode when the OS was installed, RST isn't going to do much.
Like Henry said. Everything is on the install disc that came with the mainboard you need, including the ones you don't need. It's even got a 'total install' selection.

Help with installing Final Cut Studio package

I have a copy of Final Cut Studio 2.0.1. I would like to know if there is a way to create an image file to combine all disks into 1 file. This would help in installing, since I only have one set of disks. I don't want to risk ruining any of the disks, since I have a lab of 30 computers to install Final Cut Studio 2 on.
I have the following disks:
Final Cut Studio Install
Audio Content 1
Audio Content 2
Audio Content 3
Motion Content
LiveType Media 1
LiveType Media 2
DVD Studio Pro Content
Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

Shane, I have all 8 FCP disks saved as a dmg file. I am currently storing these in a share on our NEW Apple XSERVE. I have tried mounting all of the 8 dmg files to the desktop of the iMac, that I'm wanting to install on. But this takes an unusally long time, I cancelled it after a couple days of it trying to mount the images to the desktop.
I'm very green to using Apples, just something that has been dropped in my lap.
Is there a way that I can mount these images in the folder on the Xserve? of is using a portable HDD the only way to do it.
