One more: Win 7 won't run after Arch 64b install

Hi,
Just got a new 2 drive PC.
Partitioned drives, and then installed as follows:
1. Win 7 (64b) on sda1 (+more NTFS partitions)
2. Arch 64b (fully updated) on sdb1-/boot and sdb2 -/.
GRUB (NOT version 2) installed on sda.
While Win 7 appears in the (grub) menu, it will NOT load if selected.
Please advise!
Thanks!

You don't need to use the Windows bootloader, you only need to fool Windows into thinking it is the primary drive in the boot order, by adding:
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
per the Wiki section I linked to. Windows throws a fit when it knows it is not the 1st thing in the bootorder in the BIOS.

AE CS6 won't run after the Mavericks 10.9.3 update

My AE CS6 won't run after the Mavericks 10.9.3 update the other day. I was prompted that the current version of my AE was 11.0, so I searched and found the seemingly most up-to-date here: Adobe - After Effects : For Macintosh : Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0.4 Update : Thank You
My question is this: since I'm new to Mac, should I download the update and install it to my existing instance of AE and it will allow AE CS6 to run as normal? And the way to install the update is simply to double-click the .dmg?
Thanks!

Instructions for installing the update are on the download page here:

MacBook Pro won't boot after trying to install 10.7.3 update. Start up stalls at Apple logo and spinning gear. Computer won't even start in safe mode.

My daughter's MacBook Pro was doing exactly the same thing. I don't know if it had anything to do with the latest update. She called me about a week ago saying that her MacBook began running slower by the day . She then called me Friday and told me that it wouldn't get past the gray screen and the gear just kept on spinning. I did everything I could over the phone including Safe mode which it wouldn't go into and thought maybe it was the hard drive. She took it to the Apple store. Originally, they also thought it was the hard drive. It ended up being a corrupted operating system (Lion). Apple genius simply re-installed Lion and she's back up and running. Good thing she backed up right before it crapped out. She'll be restoring everything tonight. Don't know if re-installing Lion will help your situation, but it did the trick for my daughter.

Safari 3.0.2 won't run after 3.0.1 worked fine

Safari 3.0.1 was working fine for me on win xp pro after copying fonts to address text problem. I downloaded 3.0.2 and installed. the install appeared to work fine, but when I try to run safari, i get no error and it won't run. I've turned off firewall & AV software, etc. I have uninstalled and re-installed. I even tried reinstalling 3.0.1 after uninstalling 3.0.2. all to no avail. any suggestions?
Windows XP Pro

just a suggestion but have you tried cleaning safari from your registry?? The reason I ask is because if you save bookmarks then uninstall safari and then reinstall it still has your bookmarks, so not all files are being deleted upon uninstall. Don't know if that helps you but its worth a try

Programs won't run after update to 10.6.7

Hi
I have just inherited an early 2008 iMac following my Dad's death a few months ago. So I have no Mac experience at all. On receiving it, I booted it up and a list of recommended software updates appeared which I ran, and by all accounts successfully installed. One of them was an update to 10.6.7
Previous to the update I could access the installed programs. Now I can access barely any of them.
Error message reads:
Application name cannot open.
Check with the developer to ensure this version of application name works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS.
There aren't any further updates needed. Every time I check, I'm advised everything is uptodate. So last night I reinstalled iTunes, downloading the latest version. That won't run. Same error message.
I'm unsure what to do now. I don't have any disks etc at the moment as Mum is still trying to locate them (they had more than one property and this has come out of one that has been boxed up and put onto the market).

This is a typical error report. The section I have bolded out seems to be common in all the errors.

One more iBook won't start. Please help...

Hi,
I apologise for my English from the very beginning. Be patient please...
I see from older topics that I am having a rather common problem. I just got this iBook G3 900 MHz 12' 680 Mb RAM from Ebay. It lasted 5 days (working fine) and then it suddenly died.
I have already tried all possible key combinations for PMU resets and carefully read the help page in case when a portable won't start. No good.
Here are the synthoms more in detail: The battery would not charge (it has only 1 flashing light out of four and I was warned before it died that its charge level was getting low). The ibook now don't start, even with the power adapter hooked up.
If this can help, the ring light on the adapter cord is green when the battery is on, and removing the battery turns the light to amber.
I started reading Internet discussions and it sounded an DC in-board problem, and I've already found a replacement from a friend...
BUT...
I did a further test tonight taking the battery for an identical ibook of a friend and when I put his battery on mine, it started up and kept being up only for me to see that the battery level was getting low low low --- dead again. Now, my friend is pretty sure that his battery was at least half-charged but to me it seems very strange that my ibook would drain away all power from a battery in 10 seconds. Can it be a short circuit ???
Back on Internet, I have discovered these Apple discussions, so before beginning unscrewing the whole ibook to replace the DC-in board (I understand this is not the easiest piece to change) I wanted to have your advice on something I might have missed with my "diagnosis".
Could it be the "famous" logic board everyone is complaining about ? The ibook was bought in August 2003 so I am still eligible for the replacement. Could it possibly be ? I though that ibooks with such a problem did boot up...
Sorry. I wrote too much. Thank you in advance for any help you might be willing to give me...
ibook G3 900 MHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
No problems with your English whatsoever.
Have you tried your friend's adapter with the iBook? Was your iBook plugged into the adapter when it rapidly discharged your friend's battery? It could be an adapter problem. The adapter should show green when the battery is not installed, and amber when it is — exactly the opposite of what you are seeing. The amber light is supposed to indicate that the battery is charging. The green light means that it is NOT charging. When things are working right, the green light means the battery has stopped charging because it is completely charged. When things aren't working right, it just means the battery isn't charging — for whatever reason. Since your adapter is showing the lights the opposite of what it is supposed to do, it's an indication that it may not be working right.
These are the four most common possibilities when the battery will not charge:
(1) there is something wrong with your battery
(2) there is something wrong with your power adapter
(3) there is something wrong with your power input board (the part that contains the port where you plug in the adapter)
(4) there is something wrong with your logic board
To diagnose a bad DC-in board, you need to make sure it isn't the battery or the adapter at fault by swapping out first one and then the other, If it runs from a known good charged battery okay, but won't run from a known good adapter, then you are going to have to replace the power input board.
Usually, if it is a logic board problem, the iBook simply will not run from the battery. This happened to mine. The battery showed up in the battery status indicator. It was recognized by the computer and charged by the adapter (as shown by the battery status indicator). However, when I unplugged the adapter from the iBook, it was just like pulling the power cord from the wall on a desktop. The iBook immediately shutdown. Dead.
My husband’s problem was quite obviously the power input (DC-in) board because the adapter tip had broken off in the port. Often (and, sadly, in our case), this damages the power input board so that it no longer functions, necessitating replacement of the board as well as the broken adapter.
Your experience does not exactly match either of ours. It is my best hunch that if your adapter is not the problem, then it is the logic board and not the DC-in board at fault. However, this is not the problem covered by the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program.
Since you already have the extra DC-in board, if it proves not to be the adapter at fault, you may want to try installing the DC-in board, in hopes that will correct the problem.
Good luck.

Word 2010 Macros won't run after installing Outlook 2013

Here is something I've never run across before. I'm hoping someone here knows the answer...
One of my co-workers has Office 2010 Professional installed and has for a year or more been running Word 2010 using a macro that opens a form for additional user input for the document.
For some reason that I cannot understand at all, he loaded Outlook 2013 and Lync. After doing this, his Word document will open but he cannot get the macro to execute the command button in the document. The macro does not fire, so to speak.
We have checked the Trust Center and the macro settings are at the lowest level. Still not working!
I have tried to simulate this by installing Word 2010 on my workstation where I have a full copy of Office 2013 Professional installed. Interestingly enough, similar results occur. I get a security warning that even though my Word 2010 instance
has macro security set to low, strips out the macro altogether.
I'm not all that interested in finding my problem but would like to get some advice on why he is having the problems after just adding Outlook 2013 and Lync. They may be related .
Thanks for any assistance.
Robert Stroud

Repair did not seem to have any affect on the problem.
So a bit of clarification - client has 2010 Office Professional including all of the normal packages. His company updated their machines to Outlook 2013 but did not touch any of the other 2010 packages except Outlook. They also added Lync.
I can duplicate the problem using a 2013 installation of Office Professional and then adding Word 2010 via another installation of Office 2010. Word 2010 was the only package from 2010 that I installed.
I have repaired the 2010 installation from the Control Panel. The Repair Utility does not seem to do anything except force the default .docm to show the Word 2010 icon rather than the 2013 icon.
If I open my .docm file with Word 2010, I get macro warnings even though the Macro Security is set to enable all macros.
If I open my .docm in Word 2013, the file executes properly and the macro runs as it should.
What is it that happens when one or more 2013 packages are installed that breaks the 2010 package macros?

favicon.ico is not the issue
I see two issues:
1) If both dads.conf and marvel.conf are included in the Apache configuration, then that will be an error as you cannot have two Database Access Descriptors defined with the same name.
2) You're missing the 'ServiceNameFormat' string after your value for PlsqlDatabaseConnectString.

Captivate 5.5 - SCORM Project won't run after Captivate 7 installation

Good afternoon,
I had completed a Captivate 5.5 project for a few months and as of about a month ago I have had Captivate 7 installed on the machine. Due to some widgets that are implemented in the project that only run in 5.5, I have not used Captivate 7.
I also have not had cause to reopen the project until recently to make some changes. However, now when I publish the files, package them in the MultiSCO Packager, and put them in CMS - it won't run.
I've verified that the CMS is not the issue: if I repost the pre-Captivate 7 version it works just fine and the only changes I made to the original files were cosmetic and minor.
Now when I republish the files in 5.5 and package them, the files look different, publishing all of the zips into a "Linear" subfolder. I couldn't help but notice that this is the same as Captivate 7 publishes except without any accompanying XML files. Why would Captivate 5.5 be affected by Captivate 7 being updated on the machine?
Is there any solution to this other than having to open the 5.5 files in 7 and replace every widget? This is a huge expenditure of time when I was under the impression that if 5.5 was still installed it would run completely independent of the Captivate 7 changes.
Any help would be appreciated,
Jaimeson

Don't be too quick to write off the LMS/CMS as the issue. You need to be aware that with Cp6 Adobe totally revamped their SCORM drivers so there is now little similarity between output of 5.5 to 7 in this area. It is also no longer possible to use Cp7 SCORMs in the Cp5.5 era Multi-SCORM Packager tool. They are not compatible. You must make sure the CP7 SCORMs are matched with the Multi-SCORM Packager that came with Cp7.
Once you get compatible SCORMs published, try uploading them to SCORM Cloud LMS to test. If they work fine on SCORM Cloud then they should work on your CMS (if it is truly SCORM compliant).
Your issue with the widgets not working in Cp7 might be resolvable if you update the widgets. Have you checked with the original widget developer to see if they have updates available? If you have several widgets of the same type and version in each project file, then there is a trick to updating all of them in one go (per project file).
See the heading in the lower part of this page:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/widget-updates
But be warned that this only works if the widget filename is exactly the same, and you are doing this from the same computer that was used to originally insert the same widgets, because the path to the external widget file must be replicated.

ITunes won't run after downloaded.

I downloaded iTunes to Windows XP successfully, but it won't run when I attempt to open it. Nothing happens. My iPod should arrive in a week and I want to have iTunes prepared to transfer songs ASAP!
Why won't iTunes open after I've successfully downloaded it??!!

...ok, I downloaded iTunes 6.0 and it worked fine until my iPod cam and it said I needed version 7.0 or higher to transfer songs[thanks a lot apple].

Calculation Script... won't run after restart of acrobat

I added a custom calculation script to a field. Works like a charm.
However if I restart acrobat the script refuses to run. I go in and confirm the script is there.
If i go in an just add a space or a comment to the script it will start running again.
Any ideas?
I also saved the PDF and opened it in reader on another machine. Won't run there.
So I attached it to an onfocus event and that seems to work fine after saving??
So I then tried adding a "simplified field notation" and the same behavior exists there. If i restart acrobat the only way i can get the simple notation to run is if I remove it and then re-add it. Otherwise it does nothing.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance.

George,
I wasn't clear enough. The script does nothing. Editing values of text boxes that would trigger the calculation to occur will not run until after I have edited the script. (something as silly as just adding a comment will cause it to work again)
For the simple calculation I need to remove it completely and add it again before it will work
Here is an example for a net worth box:
Add to "simple field notation"
assets - liabilities
Then I hit ok and whenever I add in some liabilities or assets those 2 fields are updated and my networth field is updated. Thats works great
I save the file and then open it back up and add some liabilies/assets and the fields I used the built in "sum" function on continue to work (assets and liabilities) however my "simple field notation" does not update my networth field.
I go back into field designer and verify that the simple field calculation radio box is still selected and that it still says
assets - liabilities
It continues not to run. I then go back in and edit it to remove the calculation.
I then open it up again and select "simple field notation" and type in
assets - liabilities
This then works immediately and i am happy again until i save/restart acrobat (or try to open the PDF on another PC)
Then I am sad again because the script doesn't run.
I tried all these same steps with a JavaScript too. It will work until acrobat is restarted. If i edit the script by adding a space or comment it will start running again.
So frustrating! Any help is appreciated.

ITunes + Quicktime won't run after install

I did an automatic upgrade to ITunes verson 8 from 7. After the upgrade, neither iTunes nor Quicktime would work. I then proceeded to do a complete uninstall of both items, to include deleting all directories and cleaning the registery so I could complete a fresh install of both items. After the fresh install, iTunes would work IF (and only if) it was started by the installation script. If I try to start iTunes after the installation, windows pops a window that says "Please wait while Windows configues iTunes," after which it prompts to restart the PC. This happens EVERY time. That is, iTunes will run ONE TIME correctly when it's started by the installation process at the conclusion of a fresh install, but it will not run again. Each time I get the windows message.
Quicktime will not run at all. It gives the error message "Error 41: Could not load or find the QuickTime ActiveX control." However, I can open the Quicktime preferences from the Control Panel.
I get no errors or any indications that the installation process had problems or that the items did not install correctly.
I'm running 32-bit Vista with SP1.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

which: no java in (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core:/opt/qt/bin)
ERROR: Couldn't find a java virtual machine,
define JAVACMD, JAVA_BINDIR, JAVA_HOME or PATH.
When I attempt to run 'freemind.jar' via java itself using the following command:
/opt/java/jre/bin/java freemind.jar
I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: freemind/jar
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: freemind.jar

Could not find the main class: freemind.jar. Program will exit.
Any help would be much appreciated

I can run Freemind - no problem. I have (previously) installed Java using jdk package
There are two possible problems:
1) Program's execute file is /usr/share/freemind/freemind.sh - it's shell script, so you will have to run it from terminal using command
bash /usr/share/freemind/freemind.sh (it's how I ran it)
Remember - you can't (usually) run Java programs from *.jar files, because Java has to have declared some variables first (that's what that shell script is for - Windows are using their typical exe files for running Java programs )
2) You don't have correct Java. There are two types of Java: opensource (openjdk) and "original" Java from Sun. openjdk is (fully) opensource, but lacks some of Sun's Java features, but because it's opensource, it's generally favourized (hope that it's the correct word) in Linux and Java-dependent packages in Arch usually installs that.
Try uninstall both Freemind and whatever Java you are using now and install first java from Sun (packages jre and jdk, jdk is mostly for Java developers and should not be needed to run programs) and then install Freemind.
Edit: It's possible that you will need to restart computer after installing Java (but probably not)

Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC 14 won't run after installing

I tried installing the Lightroom and PS upgrades through the Creative Cloud installers - they install but won't run. Lightroom won't start at all now and PS starts, gets to the main window and immediately shuts down. I've restored, reinstalled, uninstalled all old versions, run CC cleaner multiple times sucessfully - nothing has worked.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks
