OS 10.4 to G3 FireWire successful install then shows folder icon and halts

Seek your advice camrades. Googled for solution but found no clear answer.
I have iBook G3 500MHz (Dual USB) 256 MB RAM with faulty CD-ROM.
G3 had OS X crashed and totally unesponding. Safe boot, singleuser and other basic steps have not helped. I have 4 installation CD's of 10.4 but, I repeat, CD-ROM drive is not working.
When G3 book is started in FireWire 'Target Disk Mode' the connected G4 (I have one more ibook with 10.5 Leopard) book recognizes the faulty G3 disk and directory structure. So I saved as much data as possible and succesfully wiped the the faulty G3 HDD to have a clear install.
I decided to make a FireWire system install. Faulty G3 notebook was started in 'Target Disk Mode' and 'OS X install' was started on G4 with FireWire G3 hard disk as a destination. Installation reported success and source G4 was booted via FireWire in OS 10.4. Then I disconnected the FireWire cable and restarted both iBooks normally.
G4 booted in it's native 10.5 with no problems.
But G3 have not booted, stuck in 'folder/question icon'. What has gone wrong?

What size is the hard drive? If it's 10 or 15 or even maybe 20 GB (some that were custom-built had a 20 GB hard drive), that's the original drive.
Asking an iBook that originally came with Mac OS 9 as the default OS to run Mac OS X 10.4.11 is asking quite a lot from it. And you're using it with the minimum RAM requirement for Mac OS X 10.4, too.
I kept my 500 MHz iBook in OS 9 and when I wanted to step up, I bought an iBook G3 (Dual USB) 800 MHz with Mac OS X 10.3 installed.
I maximized the RAM on both of them with a 512 MB RAM module in the one user-accessible RAM slot. (Doing that could speed things up a bit for you, too, but I'm not sure it's worth the upgrade, what with the broken CD drive.)
When I wanted to step up to Mac OS X 10.4, I bought an iBook G4.
So you are asking quite a lot from that ancient little beastie. You are asking it to run an OS which is 5 years newer than it is. If it feels creaky, that's probably why.
A new hard drive wouldn't be all that expensive, but they're difficult to install.

ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

HT1553 I did the back up as instructed... Installed a larger hard drive and followed the restore instructions... Now I get a white screen with a folder icon and blinking question mark. When trying to set startup with new drive I get a bless tool error...

If you have installed a new hard drive , you will need to have formatted it in Disk Utility correctly. This may explain your problem.
Boot into your 10.6 Install disk again at the top menubar > Utilities > select Disk utility and in there select your new hard drive, and select the tab Erase and choose to make the format as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When that is finished look in the main window to make sure that the partition map scheme says GUID Partition Table.
Now go to the Restore tab and reinstall from your backup.

When I move my mouse Itunes stops playing. This was happening before I installed latest version. I have installed latest version three times. First and install, then as a repair, and third time I unistalled Itunes and reinstalled i.

If I click on play and do not move mouse Itunes works as usual.. This was happening before I installed latest version. I have installed latest version three times.

At various stages over the years, mouse-related iTunes trouble has been associated with driver conflicts. So it might be worth following up on that possibility.
Head to the drivers and downloads page for your model of PC, and check to make sure you're not behind on any chipset and input-device-related driver updates. (And while there, just in case, also check to make sure your BIOS, sound-card/integrated audio, and video-card/display-adaptors are up to date.)
If you're behind on anything, and you update, does that help with the mouse-related iTunes issues?

I download itunes it says its successfully installed. then when i try to open it it says "apple application support not found" PLEASE HELP!!

I download itunes it says its successfully installed but then when i try to open it is says "Apple Application Support not found"

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Did anyone successfully install 7.8.2.14 and configure BI Publisher for 7.8

Hi,
I am installing 7.8.2.14 to gain BIP support but I am running into some issues.
This is what I have done so far:
* installed 7.8.2.14 and followed steps for ACR483 (BIP Integration)
* installed QF0E02 (Actuate and BIP co-existence)
* installed QF0E03 (IE8 support)
* installed QF0E07 (bugfix)
BIP server is installed and running. Siebel security model is set up, all web services for siebel are imported and so on.
The problem:
Whenever I try to generate a report from Siebel, the component "XMLP Report Server" just crashes and is restarted. Then I receive message "BIP failed to generate report" after about 2 minutes.
Further investigation showed that BI Publisher is actually receiving the job and generating the report. Generation is sucessful as I can open the .out file with Acrobat Reader and read the contents. It just does not seem to bring the report back to Siebel.
I have no ideas ???

Hi mroshaw,
so now I am back in the office and can provide some details.
* Uploading templates from Siebel to BIP is working fine (so I assume the NS XMLPJvmSubsys seems to have correct Classpath etc??)
* Requesting a report is also working (report is generated on BIP, but then after ~ 1minute I receive "BI Publisher engine failed to generate report. (SBL-RPT-50524)" on Siebel.
* The last lines of XMLP Report Server Log before the error occurs:

regarding the Web Services:
* I have one one outbound Web Service in Siebel which is called "PublicReportServiceService". The port name is "PublicReportService_v11". It has 64 operations - authenticatrion is set to "None" for all of them.
* I have two inbound Web Services: "BIPDataService" and "BIPSiebelSecurityWS". The second one does have a service port called "XMLP Driver Service" which has 4 operations. These operations are called "Authenticate", "GetRoles", "GetRoles2" and "GetAllRoles".
I am wondering about the message in the XMLP component log called _"Error 22171 invoking method "GenerateReport" for Business Service "XMLP Driver Service""_ since GenerateReport is not a valid operation for the XMLP Driver Service here.
Any ideas? Could you tell me about which service ports and operation you have configured for your "BIPSiebelSecurityWS" ?

I can only see the welcome to mail screen (iphone 5). I have set up mail successfully because it shows mail icon with messages. But I cant get into the mail box!

I can only see the welcome to mail screen (iphone 5). I have successfully set up the mail because it shows mail icon with messages (104 messages). But I cant get into the actual mail box to read them. Pls help!

The received emails should show in two locations:
1. In the All Inboxes tab of Mail.
2. The Inbox for each mail account,
If your emails are not showing in these locations try quitting the mail app and then reset your iPhone.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

My phone indicates I have app updates but when I try to install then a box appears and asks for my PW. I put in my PW which i verified is correct and the updates circle a while then go back to update box and nothing happens What's going on?

I have an I Phone 4 OS is 7.1.2. The phone indicates I need to update some apps. I go to the update screen select either all or an individual app. I select the update box. I am then asked to enter my PW. I do so and select OK. The update circle spins for a while the goes back to saying update. If I repeat the process the same thing happens. I know my PW is correct any ideas?

I have the same problem. I have a store ID my family all used to buy things. I have a different icloud id for me and icloud backups. Store account is setup properly, and I can download new apps. It does not ask for a password for these as the phone is signed into the store account. You can delete an app and reinstall it (using same store account) and it will reinstall no problem.
The only problem I found with this is some apps I'd previously download for free are no longer free. Once upon a time my store list would show me an icon that an app had been downloaded before (think its the cloud symbol). Now there is no indication of this.
Also seems like something is wrong with the store account. When I tried logging in to type this reply with message with my store ID it immediately gave me an error message and told me the link was possibly outdated. But logging in with my icloud ID this message will load. Try again on store ID, error message. Even though we can log into our store accounts via https://appleid.apple.com/ and manage the account...something seems broken with how its attached to our App store. (I'm at work so not able to log into itunes with store ID and see what happens)

Ipad won't start up after installing an update. Shows itunes icon with cord from the side.

ipad won'tstaart up after installing an update. Shows, itune icon and cord going tothe side. Cant make it do anything else.

That means that you have to restore the de ice using iTunes on a computer. There is nothing else that you can do to fix it now and you cannot back it up now either. Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes and restore the iPad.
IF you don't have a computer, find someone that has one running iTunes or go to an Apple Store and ask them to restore it for you.

We don't know what Apple plans on doing to change this (and it may not be just Apple but more likely the publishers, since Apple would, of course, do whatever it could to maximize sales/profits). Right now you can only read Apple books on mobile devices. Sure, buy them from Amazon if you want to read them on the computer. We don't work for Apple so we're pretty impartial on this kind of advice.
You might also see what your library can offer. My wife can browse the county library from her iPhone, borrow e-versions, and read books on it too. Free!
