New blank HD won't load from disk

I just installed a new HD on my IMac 24" Early 2008. I get a message to restart my computer. I have held down the C key and it works for a while then gives me the gray screen and the message to restart my computer. Any suggestions?

Did you insert the Leopard installer DVD into the optical drive, then try restarting and using the C key?
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
Or:
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the desired disk icon from which you want to boot.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
You need to insert the DVD first in either of the above.

Footage changes once color project is loaded from disk

Hi all,
I have a big problem in Color 1.0.4.
I send a 20 minute edit from FCP to Color. All is fine. The edit is the first part of a marriage service. A shoot taken with two camera.
I did originally put the sequence together using Multi-Cam, but then I replaced all the clips with the originals as I had problems when I first went into color with this.
The problem is that one of the angles appears to have lost the information as to where the INOUT points are...This happens once the color project has been loaded from disk. (ALL is fine until I shut Color and reload the project). The sections in the sequence where this camera is used always plays the source file for that camera from the beginning. (A shot from outside the church!) This is causing me all sorts of problems and I cannot seem to get past this. I need to save the work and then re-open in FCP to see what the grade looks like as I don't have an external monitor.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
The thumbnails show the correct footage from the camera. Adding a section to the render queue results in a render of 1 frame. Even though the IN and OUT points on the Color timeline show roughly 20 seconds, the render view shows an in and out point one frame apart...
Thanks in advance,
Richard

What is/are your sequence codec/settings?
I know I get this sort of behavior on my external monitor if I've got a Kona export settings mismatch, but not on the timeline.
When you observe the application running back to "first frame" on park, but finds the correct images on play, sort of infers that there is a broken reference somewhere in how FCP is recalling the media.
Bad container? frame rate mismatch?
But before you re-edit, can you save the effort to this point by "Baking out" a movie of the sequence?
It would be at least interesting to know if QT finds the right media at your edit points. At that point, a fairly straightforward movie could be razored and sent to COLOR...

BootCamp cannot load from disk code 5

I tried to install Windows 7 using BootCamp from an ISO image DVD I made. Now when I restart my iMac, it takes me to a black screen with the "cannot load from disk code: 5" error message. The "option key" and "eject key" don't work at all and no matter how many times I restart it, it always goes back to this screen where I can't seem to press anything and the dvd is stuck. Please help.

I burned my disc at 2 speed in Toast. Burned my XP iso like this too, and that worked (not on early 2011 mbp's)
I even deleted the bootcamp partition and resized the osx partition to the max. That way i have a clean partition/install each time i trie. Used partition size is standard (20gb) so that shouldn't be an issue. And the iso i'm using for win7 is being used by al lot of others and they seem to have no problems and claim it to be a bootable disk.
The only probable solution i've found is a workaround in which you launch your install from a different running OS, and go from there. However i'm not such a windows fan i got a full working pc. Just my mbp's so this really isn't an option and it seems a bit far off because i got a concrete error code.
I'll try to get a copy of parallels to test my iso, but i don't want to emulate, i just need boot camp to work!

Flash won't load from creative suite..

I downloaded a trial of Flash from the Adobe site 5 months
ago. I recently purchased Creative Suite 3 w/ Flash included.
Every program from my newly purchased CS3 disks load up and
activate except for Flash. When I tried to reinstall from the
disk it tells me that Flash is already installed, but when I look
in the application folder it's no where to be found. I trashed the
old expired trial version and tried to reload - still no success??
Any suggestions...?

look for links for player installation troubleshooting.
Also make sure that anti spy ware / ad ware and other that
type
of tools are not set to block flash content.
Some of these tools do that by default

New I pad won't load certain web pages unless I clear cache and history every time

New I pad 64gb with Telstra pre paid.
Full signal 3G
Everything up to date.
This is the scinario I am getting, and it's getting worse. I am actually writing this on my other I pad as the new one won't load this page!!!! Not happy!
Lets say I'm on e bay searching stuff and suddenly it won't load any more pages from the search results. I can open a new tab and load other sites so the internet is working, but at this instant i cannot look at any eBay pages on the new I pad.
I go into settings and clear browsing history and the cookies, go back into safari and I can now load eBay and view the page that wouldnt load before. Sometimes this method will work for an hour, sometimes only 2-3 mins.
This fault is happening more and more frequently, I was on yahoo earlier reading news. Then the page wouldn't load. Couldn't load previous page either exactly the same as with eBay.
So I go on apple.com.au and sign in to support to ask them. Page won't load . GRRRR!
Clear the cache etc and it's fine for a few mins then the same so I am writing this off our old I pad 1, using the Internet tethered from the new iPad that wouldn't load this page
It's happening more and more I don't know if it's a problem with Telstra or with the I pad? Is this a common problem?
I have tried Mercury browser and Terra browser and the fault remains.
Seems to be on any website it can happen now.
And now when it does, I can't check e mail, load maps, carry out speed tests anything Internet related.
I can tether the I pad and it works fine on my old one.
Maybe faulty I pad?

I'm thinking it may be a DNS issue. I cleared my DNS cache using OnyX and my problem went away. OnyX is a free utility and is very useful. You can get it here:
http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php?sid=b94ceb83c26f4f935b661c52a5f8bff1
Ever since I did that, I haven't had any other issues. Good luck!

PE8 edit won't load from start screen in XP Pro

I have just installed PE8 in place of Pinnacle Studio Plus 10.8 which I've been using for a few years with few problems. It seems to install OK with no error messages but It won't load "new project" from the start screen although it will load "organiser". I also can't get into "new project" from the organiser. My computer is running XP Pro and has a single core Intel Pentium 4 processor running at 2.66GHz with 2Gig of RAM. Should I be able to run PE8 on my system?

You should be -- assuming you have at least 30 gigabytes of free, defragmented space on your C drive and all of your operating system and Quicktime updates.
A Pentium, though, is way at the lower end of the required power to run this program. Unlike previous versions of the program, version 8 needs a huge amount of power to run. I can barely run it on my Pentium 4, and then only with basic miniDV editing, although it runs much better on my dual-core 2.6 ghz machine.
To see how much power it needs to start up and run, open the Task Manager (right-click on your Windows Task Bar) and watch how long it takes for your processor to settle down when you launch the program. On my Pentium, it can take over 5 minutes to open a project and stabilize!

Image won't load from XML

I am making a gallery using xml and as3. I've run into a
problem very early and I'm not too good with Actionscript yet. So
I've come here for some help.
What I want right now, is to have an image be loaded from a
xml file, which is working for me. And then have a white movieclip
come in a resize behind the image to be a frame for the image. I
haven't gotten to this part yet. My problem starts when I try to
load the image with a blank movieclip to position it. The image
loads, but the eventListener won't run the imageLoaded function. If
I remove the function and just have
holder_mc.addchild(imageLoader); Then it works, but I need the
image to load and then resize the movieclip frame, and then display
both right? How can I accomplish this?

I was trying to solve this myself just last night and after
seeing your post today I figured maybe I can help you out (as long
as I'm addressing the problem you have).
apparently the addEventListener needs a kick start from
something else. If you look up the Loader class in the Flash help
files it provides an example near the bottom that holds the key.
I'm providing a shorthanded solution that I derived from it.
Rather than:
imageLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
completeHandler);
There is another piece in the in the middle of the process:
"contentLoaderInfo"
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
completeHandler);
Hope that helps

App Store won't load from dock

Hi,
I am 10.6.8 with all updates current and wish to download Lion. The Icon for App Store won't load the app store and I've gone to iTunes trying to find the download site, no luck.
I'm in the U.S. Virgin Islands and was searching to see if I'm red-lined due to location?
Anyone have comments?
Thanks

I, too, have all updates and want to download Lion.
Same as above with the App Store.
Tried the iTunes route and still no luck.
Looked at various forums, removed a few items from Library based on Apple Discussion recommendations.
Still no luck.
Working on iMac Intel Core 2 Duo
Maybe it isn't a good time to upgrade, and I should wait until the next version. The bug reports should be resolved sometime soon.
This experience is moving me away from upgrading and it is annoying me because this has been a waste of no small amout of my time.

New MacBook Pro won't boot from old HD. Grey circle with dash throw it on Startup.

Alright then so I bought a new 15" MacBook Pro 2.6GHz from Apple and it arrived all fine and well. However when I went to swap out the standard 750GB HD for my 1TB from my previous MacBook Pro the machine got stuck on a grey boot screen with a circle with a dash through it. I restarted the laptop and the same thing happened. Freaking out I but the 750GB HD back in and everything worked fine. I then tried to boot from the 1TB using an external enclosure I had and the same problem occurred.
So it must be some issue with my old HD. If anyone has any tips or ideas I would love the help.
Thanks in advance
Zahni

Not really. What OS X version is on the new computer? If it's 10.8.1, then you could buy 10.8.2 for your old computer and install it. Then the old drive should boot the new computer. But if the new computer has 10.8.2 installed, then it will be a different build than the one you purchase from the App Store, and that build will not boot the new computer. So, you have to wait for a newer version of OS X.
Or you could just transfer your Home folder to the new drive and reinstall your third-party applications.

Firefox won't load from dock when another web site is loaded
