Need Help on IDE devices installation

Hi all....
Consider this... I am an idiot in PC self assemble...(or at least I am newbie... )
I done a DIY 2 times before... but are and kindengarden level.
I just bought a second hand 875P Neo-FIS2R(with RAID) and don't really know how to start with the IDE devices, others parts are OK for me.
Here what I have
TDK DVD+/- RW writer
TDK CDRW Combo
40GB ATA HDD for OS and application installation
80GB ATA HDD for DATA storage
120GB SATA HDD for Games
I know the simple way of doing it..... install the 2 optical drive in IDE-2 connector, 2 ATA HDD in IDE-1 Connector and SATA into SATA without RAID
But I been told that to optimise both the Optical rewritable... better to put them alone in each of the IDE connector. thats mean 2 IDE used up. And I been told that first IDE HDD should be in First IDE Master. Soo... if this the case, how should I proccee with the installation???
1. Can 1 of my optical rewritable device install in the IDE3????? and the other on IDE2
2 or should i buy 1 extra 40GB same brand and model IDE HDD and install with the 1 that I have currently at IDE3 and run on RAID 0 for better performance???? and the ATA 80GB HDD just get a SATA convertor and put it in the SATA connector????
3. or shloud I have my ATA 80GB HDD throw away and get 1 more SATA 120GB in promise raid run as RAID 0, 2 ATA 40GB in IDE3 run as RAID 0?????
Any possible advise will be welcome... Please help me out... Thanks

Thanks for the reply
The reason I'm using a second CDRW-Combo is due to the DVD writer that i have is an older version.... which is damn slow when writing to CD-RW media.... CD-R writing speed still acceptable. But I use RW more often.
OK.... I have another question to ask
What if I have two 40GB HDD but in differ brand.... actually... the size are differ as well. 1 Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 40GB Ultra-ATA (model: ST340014A) and 1 IBM Deskstar 41GB ATA-100 (model: IC35L040AVER07). these 2 HDD have a jumper option of forcing it to limit as 32GB. If I use both of this HDD in 32GB mode. can I still enjoy the RAID0 performance like other? or it will downgrade my seagate HDD to the performance like the IBM Deskstar HDD???
1 more question. How many channel(volume) can Promise PDC20378 handle?? 1 or more?? can I have my IDE3 in channel(Volume) 1, and SATA in another???
I tried to fing the info of PDC20378 in the net, even promise website but can't find anything.
And again.... thanks for the help.

I need help getting past the installation error "windows cannot fint TEMP file"

I need help getting past the installation error "windows cannot find TEMP file"

Seems like some who have tried two devices on the JMICRON IDE port have had trouble. Try without the hard drive and see if you get that error. If that is the case I would try a PATA to SATA converter for your hard drive and connect it to one of the Intel SATA Ports.

Need help on IDES R/3 Ent. 47x200 installation please

Hi,
I have spent nearly 24 hours without getting any further in installing the IDES system.
I have read the installation document and just couldn't follow which CD is required for my installation. I was sent IDES based on MSSQL 2000 and Win2000 server.
I am trying to do central system installation.
I managed to prepare active directory, and join the sap r3 server as a member server.
I'm stucked at LDAP integration where SAP prepare the schema in the AD: I can't find the R3SETUP.bat (in any CD). The installation docs says I need basis 46D or SAP AS 6.10. It recommends to download from the service.sap.com/installations site, but I can't find it. So I can't run R3SETUP.bat???
Does the IDES 4.7x200 CD bundle have what I need to install IDES successfully or there's another CD that I'm not aware of?
Any help/hints is very much appreciated.
Lito

Hi Lito,
Did you ever solve your problem?
We have the same issue and I can't find the 6.10 installation CD on the SWDC either.
Thanks,
Darryl

Need help with Acrobat Xi installation error

Here is the error I am getting...

Have tried installation several times. Need help now, considering I am paying for this service!

Thank you for the replies.
Jeff, I will check that link and try what is suggests.
Bill, to answer your questions...
1. This is a CC installation.
2. Yes, I am logged in as the admin and I have no anti-virus other than Microsoft Essentials enabled.
3. This is a download installation.
To give even more info that might help, I am using a Windows 7 machine with more than enough capability to run CC. I had installed Photoshop, Illustrator, among other apps successfully. I then tried the Acrobat XI installation. Acrobat XI downloaded and extracted, but when it started installing it froze around 50% and then I received the installation failed error from Windows. Once that was confirmed the CC install progress finishes but shows failure. The More Info reveals the error I pasted in above. Afterward, none of the CC apps worked properly and had to be uninstalled. So, next I installed the CC downloader and tried to start installing Acrobat XI first but the same error occurred. That's when I got frustrated and posted my original message. My limited knowledge leads me to think the error issue lies in the AcroPro.msi file but I have no idea what that is or how to find, correct, or install it.
Thanks again for any help you can provide. I'm really frustrated that I'm paying for something that I can't use.

Need help with flash player installation please !!!!

Hello,
I need help with my flash player installation because every time I access a movie this is the message I receive.
This content on Xfinity TV is not available for viewing with Chrome's "Incognito" mode. To play this video using Chrome, please view this page without "Incognito" mode.
Still having problems? Try resetting your Flash player license.

Incognito mode is a Google Chrome setting when you open a new window (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) It opens a "private" window with no cookies and no tracking. The problem with it is that when you disable cookies, your license files are not sent to the site (whetehr it's YouTube or xFinity or any other that uses license files for paid content) and it treats you as if you're a first time visitor. Paid videos won't play wihtout the cookies sending the license file info.
This isn't a Flash Player setting. It's in Chrome. I did some research and according to Google, "Incignito" mode is off by default, and can ONLY be activate by the keyboard shortcut. There IS a way to disable it from the registry http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#IncognitoModeAvailability

HT4528 I have an Iphone currently that I need to replace with another Iphone same as my 4s. I need help to change device what do I do?

Hello,
I need help changing my Ipone 4s to another Iphone s device. Currently the new phone has the ITunes logo and USB connection and I can't get it cleared to connect to my wireless phone
Help!

First, this forum has questions answered by your fellow users
who volunteer their time. You need to wait more than 6 minutes
for an answer.
Connect the old iPhone to iTunes and back it up, also transfer purchases
and pictures and videos. Connect the new iPhone to the same iTunes
and restore from the backup of the old iPhone that you just made.
Or am I misreading your question?

I need help unlock iphone device i already asked for the email but it said it couldnt be done . how am i supssed to use my phone at all ?

Satellite C660 - need help with fresh Win7 installation

After a problem with my SatC 660 i decided to Nuke the hard drive and do a fresh install using a W7 32 Bit disk created from the web ( there is a free library of Windows 7 iso images (Sorry forgot name).
So i had the disk in and the disk drive which has the disk in, W7 is now saying it cant find the device driver for the DVD Drive which it has just used for it to show the W7 first screen.
Looked everywhere for the drivers for the DVD Drive but no joy on the web.
Can anybody help me out please?

Maybe stupid question on the beginning but why you don't install original Win7 64 bit? I presume you got your machine with preinstalled operating system.
> So i had the disk in and the disk drive which has the disk in, W7 is now saying it cant find the device driver for the DVD Drive which it has just used for it to show the W7 first screen.
Sorry but after reading this sentence Im completely confused and don't know how to understand this. If you have created bootable installation disc I hope you were able to install Win7 correctly. After first start you must continue to install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Optical disc drive uses Microsoft driver and there is no some special driver for this device. It must be recognized automatically by preinstalled operating system.
If my posting was not helpful for you please be more precise with your problem description.

Need help with multiple devices and apple id

Between my husband and myself, we have two Iphones, two Ipads, and one Imac. I back all of them up on my Imac using ONE iTunes account....we prefer not use Icloud, and I think that helps keep the information on each device relatively separate from each other...no overlaps with contacts and calendars. We have one APPLE id and password, that we use for Itunes and the App Store. We just got the Iphone 6 for my husband, and it keeps asking him to enter his Icloud PW.(his recognized user name is his PRIMARY email address)...which presumably he does not have, nor does he need (or maybe he does I need some real guidance on that). To keep this from making him crazy can I just delete his Icloud account, which again presumably, was created automatically with the new Iphone 6 set up??
Similarly, I need to use FIND my Phone (etc), and HIS devices are not in MY listed devices....is this because he NEEDS his own APPLE ID, or is there a way to add his devices to my list of devices within the APP....I thought because we share the Itunes account they should all be in MY devices.
Can someone help me make sense of this?
THANKS!!

Hello melissaben6250,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are not seeing your husbands new iPhone 6 in your Find My iPhone app. First, while you may "prefer not use iCloud", you are using it, at least in regards to Find My iPhone for your existing devices.
Now, for your husband's phone and Find My iPhone. It sounds like during the setup of his phone, he logged in to his Apple ID and even possibly created another iCloud account. In order to see his phone on your existing Find My iPhone, it will have to log in to the iCloud account where the other devices are signed in. Take a look at this article on troubleshooting Find My iPhone, especially the first section on the device not appearing.
iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac - Apple Support
Cheers,
Jeff D.

Need help with many devices and one itunes account!!

I recently purchased each of my kids an Ipod Touch. They all three are now using my Itunes account which has become a little bit of a problem. The biggest issue now is with iMessage. When a friend send a text message or tries to Facetime one of the kids, we all get the message. They are all using my itunes account user name and password, for apps, music, etc....
What's the best way to seperate the three devices so they aren't all getting the same text messages? Also, is it best to set up their own user accounts to sync their ipods with itunes?
Any help would be appreciated.

If you want to use only one AppleID account for multiple devices but seperate imessage, you will have to use different email address to differentiate the device.
I would assume all your devices' imessage are setup under your AppleID email address.
First go to your kid Device's SETTINGS/MESSAGE/RECEIVE AT, Add another email address, type in email address of your kid(you will be asked to enter your Appleid password). Once done, an email from Apple will be sent to this new email address to verify. When your kid receive this email, click "Verify Now" link. The new email address now is ready for imessage.
Now go back to the same Device SETTINGS/MESSAGE/RECEIVE AT, go into your original email(your AppleID email) and tap "remove this email". This will prevent your own imessage to appear on this device.
Do the same for all other devices for other kids.
You don't need to change anything for your own device.
That mean everyone will have an indepedent imessage based on their own email address.
Hope this explains.

New User need help, can't get installation completed

Got my new iPod, 30 gig, color, photo, etc last week. Put in disk to install software. It stopped during the middle of installation so removed disk and found it was scratched big time (I'm sure it was something I did). So, I went to website and downloaded the iPod user update 2005-11-17. Got it loaded and restored. Rebooted computer and all I get on my iPod screen is the "Do not disconnect". I uninstalled iPod software and did the installation, restored again and same thing. I have to think there is an easy solution to this, but I've read everything I can find and no answers. It would be SO nice if Apple had a customer service I could call as I'm sure I'm doing something wrong (and stupid). Anyone have any ideas? I got the iPod from frequent points with my credit card company, so can't take it back to local retailer. Please help, I want it to work so bad! LOL Thanks!

Hi Jimmy,
Please try the following :-
1. Eject your iPod from your computer
2. Press "select"+"menu" keys for reset, hold the keys until you see the Apple logo
3. Uninstall the iPod updater and iTunes by Add/Removal software
4. Downloand the iTune6 and iPod updater from apple.com again
5. Install both of the softwares
6. Open the iPod updater and wait until it asks you plug your iPod
7. Connect your iPod
8. Click the Restore on iPod updater
Good luck

Need help about an unrecognized installer

Hello,
I need some help about installing a software. I bought a softsynth called Ultra Focus. Inside the discs, there is a folder for a Mac Installer. And the file called Ultra Focus Installer is not being recognized by Tiger. And, this file does not have an extension. Just a white file called Ultra Focus Installer. I don't know what to do to install the software. Is this a common issue?
Thanks!

And, I don't know what is CMD+i. Can you describe what it is?
Sorry, CMD+i means the Apple/Command/Clover Leaf key, (depending on KB), plus the i key, it's the same as, and a Shortcut to Finder>File>Get info.
I suggest this at the moment...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

I need help with my CS5 installation

My CS5 installed normally as usual, but once it was done it was telling me that there was an error in installing, told me to restart and proceed with the installation again.
I did it twice, and now it seems to work but it gave me the same error.
I opened the program and it's telling me that,"Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled the GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software."
I did an update search on my computer for that specific driver and apparently it's up to date. I also read on a forum that I needed to download Adobe Driver. But, unfortunately it's saying the same thing that CS5 said after the installation, to restart and continue with the installation.
Help?

if you're encountering multiple different error messages,
1. uninstall cs5,
2. run the cleaner,
3. update your video driver (go to your video card's manufacturer website),
4. restart your computer (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and then
5. reinstall cs5.

Need help with Java programming installation question

Sorry for my lack of knowledge about Java programming, but:....
A while back I thought I had updated my Java Runtime Environment programming. But I now apparently have two programs installed, perhaps through my not handling the installation properly. Those are:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 update 5.0 (a 118MB file)
and:
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v 1.4.2_05 (a 108MB file)
Do I need both of these installed? If not, which should I uninstall?
Or, should I just leave it alone, and not worry about it?
Yeah, I don't have much in the way of technical knowledge...
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
Bob VanHorst

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll do just that. Once in a while I have a problem with Java not bringing up a webcam shot, but when that happens, it seems to be more website based than a general condition.

Newbie needs help with multiple devices?

Hi and best wishes to all.
I could really use some advice on the following.
I purchased an iPhone and set it up on my PC in the normal way.
A few months later, my Creative Vision battery died, and Creative's only advice
was "buy a new one!". No chance Mr. Creative! If you call that customer care, I'm moving to Apple! So I purchased a 64Gb iPod Touch and installed that.
I must admit to a little difficulty trying to manage both devices in iTunes, but I'm also willing to admit that if I found the time to read the manuals, I'd probably get it right!
My main query is this:
I now use a second laptop when I'm away from my office and I want to mirror my main PC with my portable one, so that I can manage the iPhone and iPod on both machines.
Any advice on all of the above would be greatly appreciated.
Thaks in advance to all, and very best wishes!

Reading manuals is so 20th century. Instead watch this helpful video, courtesy of The New York Times: Yo Jude: Many iPods; One Computer.
The question of mirroring the library on multiple machines is quite a bit more complicated. Take a look at this support article: iTunes 9: Understanding Home Sharing.
