Need serious help with insatlling Leopard problem! Im gonna cry soon

I got a replacement Leopard DVD today from Apple, I lost original. So I installed it and all seemed fine but after it said it had to restart, I just have the blue scree, apple logo and spinning grey ball. My hard drive failed last week and I had to go back to Tiger on new hard drive and I have this cloned on external hard drive. What should I do. Please any suggestions will save my nerves from fraying any further! Thanks, Tracy

I have a repalcement Leopard DVD, I cancelled last time so Im trying again after booting from disc and verifying HD. Will post back. What does kernal Panic mean,
who mentioned kernel panics?
I don't believe you've had one. when a kernel panic happens you'll see a message in several languages that your need to restart your computer by holding down the power button. did you have one of those? You also, didn't answer my question. what kind of install are you doing? do you have tiger on your system right now? are you trying update and install? I think with a failed install you need to do an erase and install. boot from the leopard install DVD, reformat the hard drive using Disk Utility from Utilities menu and proceed with an erase and install.

  • Need serious help with my Zen Microphoto

    My Zen Microphoto controls are messed up. evrytime i try to use the vertical pad it actually forwards me to the next song. When i press back to return to the previous menu, instead of doing that it played music that i did not even select?
    I REALLY need some help here!!! Its a new Zen Microphoto bought only for a month....

    What did you do to control the senstivity of the touchpad. Do you set it to low or med or high I tried all, it is very upsetting not to be able to master something as simple as this. I love the player I just got it yesterday the sound is beautifull although I accidently had it turn to high when it started to play.

  • I need serious help with my nano!!

    So I was running the lastest iPod updater tool from Apple and I hit restore. The line went all the way then it said factory settings have been restored, although both the restore and update buttons were blacked out in the updater tool. The iPod never restarted like its supposed to when you restore it, it just kept on blinking do not disconnect. So I held down menu and the center button to manually restart it. It restarted in black and while blinking do not disconnect. The iPod updater program froze. I went to my computer and it said something like "Removable device" instead of "Andrew's iPod" and I clicked on it and it said it had to be formated. I hit no and then clicked "safely disconnect" and safely disconnected the iPod. I unplugged it and it showed a check mark saying "ok to disconnect". So then I disconnected to cable and it showed some battery ion then shut off. That makes no sense because it had been sharging for hours prior to this. Now when I plug it in it doesn't do anything. Nothing shows up on the iPod and I hit every button and nothing happens. The computer doesn't recognize anything. I need some help big time.

    figured it out myself

  • Need some real serious help with continuing disk problem

    The story started when my internal hard drive, in my 15" lap top, gave up the ghost, and I bought a new replacement:
    Seagate Momentus 5400.2 ST9120821A - hard drive - 120 GB - ATA-100
    Manufacturer: Seagate Technology Inc.
    Specs: 120 GB, 12.5 ms, 5400 rpm, 8 MB, ATA-100, 2.5" x 1/8H
    I installed it in my laptop (model M8859LL/A) which I booted with my Tiger installation DVD. However, the Disk Utility Program did not pickup my new hard drive. I also booted with my DiskWarrior program and it doesn't see the disk either.
    I got in touch with Seagate. The rep. there says it could be a bad disk, but asked if my laptop was compatible with the drive. He asked me to listen for disk noise when I turned on the computer -- there was none. That convinced him that the disk was defective.
    Subsequently I found that the hard drive was indeed compatible with my laptop and that the second one was defective, so I sent that one back and ordered a replacement.
    I just installed the replacement disk, However it too is not be seen by either Disk Warrior or Disk Utility. What now???

    Hi Dan,
    If, as Matthew suggested, you have the HD connector properly seated and it still doesn't work, the HD cable/connector itself may be damaged and need to be replaced. They are relatively inexpensive, so that would be my next troubleshooting step. You should be able to find one at one of the following:
    pbfixit.com
    pbparts.com
    powerbookmedic.com
    dttservice.com

    Good luck.

  • Need serious help with JSP + JDBC/Database connection

    Hey all,
    I have to build an assignment using JSP pages. I am still pretty new and only learning through trial and error. I understand a bit now, and I have managed to get a bit done for it.
    I am having the most trouble with a Login Screen. The requirements are that the a form in a webpage has Username/Number and Password, the user clicks Login, and thats about it. The values for the username/number and password NEED to come from the database and I cannot manage to do this. The thing I have done is basically hardcode the values into the SQL statement in the .jsp file. This works, but only for that one user.
    I need it so it checks the username/number and password entered by the user, checks the database to see if they are in it, and if so, give access. I seriously am stuck and have no idea on what to do.
    I dont even know if I have made these JSP pages correct for starters, I can send them out if someone is willing to look/help.
    I have setup 3 other forms required for the assignment and they are reading data from the db and displaying within tables, I need to do this with non-hardcoded values aswell. Im pretty sure I need to use for example 'SELECT .... FROM .... WHERE username= +usrnm' (a variable instead of username="john" , this is hardcoded), I just CANNOT figure out how to go about it.
    Its hard to explain through here so I hope I gave enough info. A friend of mine gave some psuedocode i should use to make it, it seems ok to follow, its just I do not know enough to do it. He suggested:
    get the username and pass from the env vars
    open the db
    make an sql (eg SELECT user, pass FROM users WHERE user = envuser)
    index.jsp points to login.jsp
    login.jsp get the vars you put into index.jsp
    opened the db
    is the query returns nothing - then the user is wrong
    OR if the passwords dont match
    - redirect back to index.jsp
    if it does match
    - set up a session
    - redirect to mainmenu.jsp
    Anyway, thanks for any help you can give.
    -Aaron

    Try this... it may help you...

    ResultSet resSum = statement.executeQuery(query);
    if (request.getParameter("cust_no").equalsIgnoreCase(resSum.getString("cust_no") && request.getParameter("password").equalsIgnoreCase(resSum.getString("password"))
    %>
    <h2>You are logged in!</h2>
    <%
    else

    }catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe){
    System.err.println(cnfe);

    System.err.println( ex);
    }catch (Exception er){
    er.printStackTrace();
    %>
    </body>
    </html>
    I didn't check the code that I wrote. So you may have to fix some part of it. Also this may not be the best solution, but it will help you to understand the process easily.
    The more efficient method is to check whether the result set returned from the database is null or not.... I hope you got the idea... Good luck!

  • I NEED SERIOUS HELP WITH THIS, i cant even USE my ipod, whatsoever....

    I just got a new IPOD classic 80 GB for my birthday. I needed to update my itunes. Keep in mind, i had 7.3 before trying to update. So its downloaded, and as i start the process....not even 4 seconds in a screen comes up saying
    "Another Installation is in progress. You must complete that one before contuining this one" along with a screen saying "MsiExec.exe has encountered a problem...". i've restarted my computer, uninstalled my itunes thinking that may have been causing the problem. i have no idea what program i need to install or is in the process already! the only thing i think i possibly need to register my ipod. this has been happening for about 2 hours and i'd really like some advice in solving the issue.

    Registering your iPod just puts you in the Apple systems for tech support, etc. So it doesn't really change anything with your computer.
    What I'd recommend, though is to completely uninstall all the software and reinstall like in this article. But if that doesn't work, I find that installing through another user account can usually resolve the issue for me (since it actually installs systemwide instead of just user specific).
    I hope I was helpful,

  • Need serious help with quicktime for windows. PLEASE HELP!!! : (

    So i had quicktime on my windows program list and have had it since i bought the computer back in 08' well i got it back from a pawn shop after being down on my luck and they wiped everything out. ever since then i have been uploading pics and videos from my digital camera and the pics are fine but alot of the vids that i have put on here cannot be viewed and when i try to watch them i get an error message saying i need the latest version of quicktime. so i have tried uninstalling it after many failed update attemtps and i cannot get it to uninstall i have tried everything imaginable, from windows utility cleanup to removing it in add/remove programs to just deleting the files in the program list folder. Nothing. i get a prompt saying "the feature you are trying to use is on a resource that is unavailable." and then it goes on to say.. "Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'quicktime.msi' in the box below." and it already has two diffrent paths located in the entry box and i have tried them both and it keeps giving me the same message as i posted above. i am so lost and it dont help that i dont really know a whole lot about computers. i am stuck between a rock and a hard place.any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

    i get a prompt saying "the feature you are trying to use is on a resource that is unavailable." and then it goes on to say.. "Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'quicktime.msi' in the box below."
    Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Need serious help with Vienna Soundfont studio

    Hi there,
    I am fairly new to the program, and would like to ask if anyone knows his/her way around my problem.
    My intention is, playing a (percussi've) midi note via a program called 'guitar pro'.
    This is no problem when I open an existing SF2 file in Vienna, but when I try to create my own virtual drumkit (-from hell by East West/Quantum Leap), things get screwy:
    I managed to let Vienna load the current soundbank, but I wish to replace the samples in that soundbank with the ones from drumkit from hell.
    The thing is that at one time, I could hear that tight triggered bass drum sound which I had imported in the current soundbank, on note 35, but I tried and tried, and I'm really stuck here...
    could anyone please help me?
    X-Fi Elite pro.
    Guitar pro 5.

    Well I hate the StringTokenizer I don't know why... but..
    your while loop will loop through all three lines reassigning those two ints so you will only get the day/time of the last line.
    I would return true if the day is available.
    The way you are doing your return seems wrong you should only return false when you have an already booked date. In other words keep it all in the loop except put a return true after the loop because that means the date is not booked.

  • Need serious help with K7N2 Delta!!!

    I just finished building a PC, and no problems had cropped up until my last reboot. I shutdown simply to take a look at a fan controller, but I didn't mess with any wires or anything; I simply looked at it for a sec. Anyway, when I tried to reboot, it wouldn't do it and it still won't.
    It takes about 5 minutes to "Detect IDE drives ...", but eventually detects them all correctly before moving to the next screen... >>
    Right now it's stalled at:

    Anyway, I already have WinXP Home installed on it, with tons of progs set up and other stuff worked out. It was pretty much finished except for a few little things I wanted to do to custimize it. I've checked all the cables inside numerous times, and I still can't figure out what is going on.  I've check all cables, jumpers, wires--everything about a hundred times, and even tried to boot from CD only, HDD only...etc...

    Geez this is getting frustrating. I found the problem and now I am having another.
    The problem appears to be my CD-ROM. I had a CD-ROM and CD-RW on the same IDE channel. As soon as I unplugged the CD-ROM, the problem went away. I can not use the second CD-ROM no matter what IDE channel (1 or 2) or position (Master or Slave). I tried a different CD-ROM drive and it still causes the same problem. Ok, I can live without the drive for now.
    Now I go to reformat my hard drive and I keeping getting a blue screen saying my Bios is not fully ACPI compliant. I flashed up to 5.6. I tried the trick of hitting F5 when Windows set-up asks for SCSI drivers and then selecting ACPI Uniprocessor. That doesn't work.
    Arghhh!!!
    What the hell do I got to do to get this thing to work!!!!

  • Need serious help with Ipod nano and WinXP

    A few days ago my fiancee was moving songs to her Ipod when it automatically tossed all of my songs onto her Ipod so she deleted them from Itunes and tried to continue. Something happened and she got a message that her Ipod "could not be read from or written to" so I hooked mine up to see if it was a hardware problem and all of my music was also deleted and now I get the same message. We have uninstalled the software, reinstalled the original CD, updated to v.6 and still get the same message. Also, when we try to uninstall the updated Ipod software we get an error message 0x80040707 access denied.
    We can see the Ipods when we open Itunes, but can't move any songs to our Ipods. Also gives an error msg about not being able to copy music because of missing playlists...I never had any playlists. These things are only 6 months old and I can't afford to pay $60 for phone tech support. If anyone has the answer plz respond or email me at [email protected]
    This has been giving us a headache for a week already. Thanks in advance.

    There are a couple of articles you can check out for help:
    "-36 or "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

  • Need serious help with rendering small files

    Okay so I have adobe after effects cc 2014 watched and spent probably over 30 hours watching tutorials and trying to render videos and everything is 10gb plus i feel like this is a joke seeing as everyone else i know is rendering 200mb by doing exactly what im doing in the same program.
    Wasting my time & money here and starting to lose my mind please can someone help!

    Basic Workflow
    Watch the last video on rendering using the Adobe Media Encoder. That's the best tool to create a deliverable product. You can also use AME to create Digital Intermediates with production quality lossless or nearly lossless 10 bit or better codecs. Rendering is a very important part of making any video with any program and it's important that you at least understand the basics of Compression and MPEG (h.264) streams. The Vimeo or YouTube presets will work for just about any delivery system.
    Type "rendering" in the Search Help field at the top right corner of After Effects and go through the resources you find there. I've been using AE since it was being developed by COSA and have been part of the development teams on plug-ins and even I use this new Search Help field all the time. Don't forget to use it.

  • I need serious HELP with LUN Mapping/zoning

    I have a tape library that has multiple i/o blades (Bridges) linked by a backplane, and the robotics gets advertised on all ports on all the I/ blades for "redundancy" so says the vendor. The problem is that the robotics can only receive control, or status commands in only one of these advertised LUNs, and since each host sees all the advertised (in our case 8) LUNs it sends TUR (test unit ready) to each of them making the robotics freeze.
    These I/O Blades do also have the Tape Drives connected to them, but in their case the vendor, did provision for this multiple advertisement of the same physical device.
    The zoning is single initiator from fabric 1 to HBA1 and from fabric 2 to HBA2.
    Is there a way to mask the "extra" advertisements? I believe that LUN zoning would do the trick but I am not sure and I have no idea how to go about.
    LUN masking at both the HBAs and library con not be done because of interoperability reasons with EMC² arrays.
    Each of the fabrics is a MDS9509
    Thanks
    Astolfo

    So, the tape library doesn't make one path as active and the others as standby? The is odd but also realize that any solution from the MDS is going to require manual intervention so that you can control who is active pathed at that time. If they are all active ports on the tape anyway and there is no good way to control which port that is and any MDS solution is going to be manual anyway, then why not have only one MDS interface up at any given time but still have all in the active zone. This way you are guaranteed to have only 1 but depending on what you have enabled at a given time, it already zoned?

  • I Need Serious Help With My ZEN MICRO! Help With MediaSource!! Don't Know What I'm Doing

    Hey.. I just bought my zen micro... i love the player itself...but coming from itunes, which is amazingly easy and simple to use, the creative mediasource is sooo hard for me to get the hang of! First, i had to figure out how to get my songs from itunes (aac) to mediasource (wma). not easy... now, i don't understand how to edit my songs, playlists, etc... i can't do anything!! if there's someone who wouldn't mind helping me out..please reply or write and let me know.... thanks! jason. [email protected]

    >> First, i had to figure out how to get my songs from itunes (aac) to mediasource (wma). not easy...
    This is not MediaSource's issue.
    >> i don't understand how to edit my songs, playlists, etc...
    The first task you need to do is to add all your songs into MediaSource's PC Music Library. After that, it is not difficult to figure out how to use MediaSource. Editing track properties and creating playlist is very simple. To transfer tracks to your devices, you need to click a button at the bottom right of MediaSource to open up another panel to facilitate the transfer.

  • I need serious help with frozen palm zire 21 and hotsync.

    Hi, My palm zire 21 is frozen! It is an older one, It froze then I reset on back and about 2days later it came back on, I don't know where my hotsync disc is to download! Then it froze again(maybe to full?) I need my info off of it, I would like to hotsync it to computer and then get another device, but can't right now. I have been online trying to figure out how to download something for it, but can't seem to figure it out! It beeps if I try to tap anything on it! If you have any suggestions let me know!AC
    Post relates to: Zire 21

    If the device will not function post a soft reset then a hard reset is needed. This will erase all data. There isn't anything to download that will make a non functioning Zire 21 start working.
