OS install problem after new HD install

I very proudly installed a new 250g HD in my crashed mac mini A1176 ( I did not have anything backed up). After startup I got the ?. I put an install disk from macbook and restarted.I got to the installation stage and It said I couldn't install that software. I then partitioned and formatted the new HD (per forum posts) but still could not install OS. For some reason I also could not eject the disk. I tried all the tips and eventually opened it up and took out disk.
Next I tried to start up with Black OSX Tiger install disk- it won't show up. stuck on ? disk. And now I still can't eject that disk either.
Any ideas? Did I do something wrong on HD install? How can I get this working again?

First, do you have the original disks that came with the Mini? You stated that you tried "black" Tiger disks. Depending on your Mini's version, it could have shipped with 10.3.7, 10.4, 10.4.2, 10.4.5, 10.4.6, 10.4.7, 10.4.8, 10.4.10, 10.5 or 10.5.6
Let's say your Mini shipped running 10.4.5; Black Tiger 10.4.0 could not be used for the install.
Download and take a look at the Mini section of Mactracker http://mactracker.dreamhosters.com/ for all Mini information.

Problems after new software install - 5800

Yesterday I installed software v 40.0.005 to my 5800 Music Express and I have found a few issues that I cannot seem to resolve:
1 - The appearance of the stop/snooze buttons for the Alarm Clock changed, but the stop button no longer works. Although the button actuates (turns red), no phone action follows. The only option is to snooze the alarm then go deactivate the alarm.
2 - When I scan for new music the phone does not pick up any of the music (mp3) that is on the 8gb memory chip in the phone.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

this is a new feature in 5800 v.40
Don't tap on SNOOZE , JUST SWIPE your finger on it in the same direction of the arrow, if the colour from left to rightso swipe your finger from left to right , that's it
it's wonderful in order not to answer a call or stop the alarm by accident

Nvidia Driver install problem after new kernel

i recentyl updated my kernel to 2.4.22 and added bootsplash support.. that works perfectly and the kernel works good.. except i have to rei stgall the nvidia driver.. but it gives me an errror that it cannot find kernel header file sources.. i made the package in /usr/abs/kernels/kernel did makepkg.. it made it find and it has a pkg/src directory.. i copied the src of the kernel to /usr/src/linux so theres /usr/src/linux/2.4.22 but it still will not work and cannot make the module and load it.. still gives methat i tcannot find kernel header files... any help would be great
-bolero

well you should have the headers if you used makepkg to rebuild your kernel as part of the pacakge creates a /usr/src/linux directory that holds all necessary headers.
if you did not use makepkg to build you kernel then you obviously did not create a /usr/src/linux directory (you do this by untarring the kernel source in /usr/src than symlinking the untarred source directory (linux-2.4.22 in your case) to linux (ln -s linux-2.4.22 linux).

Why can't I re-install CS4 after new drive installed?

I had a hard drive crash. Had a new hard rive installed at computer repair store. Had any recoverable files installed on new drive. Removed any remaining CS4 files recovered. Went to re-install CS4 and it won't install.

Run the cleaner tool and try again:

Can't install anything after new Pacman install.

I'm installing Arch on a computer at work. I used the install cd. Booted up fine. Ran a
pacman -Syu
updated pacman, ran pacman -Sc then updated the mirrorlist file as I like for the servers. Then ran
pacman -Syu
again to update the packages.
Now if I try a
pacman -S xorg
it will download everything but a few files. Why? I can't get it to install gnome either (downloads everything but 3 or 4 files). Says bad md5sum and doesn't even begin to download the package. Then it asks if I want to delete the package.
Also I'm trying to install firefox3 so I ran
pacman -Sy firefox3
and I get
"error: 'firefox3': not found in sync db"
I downloaded the tar.bz2, unzipped it into ~/abs/local/firefox then tried to go into the directory and run
./configure
but gives me an unrecognized command.
Also if I run pacman -Syu on my laptop, same thing, downloads all files except a few. It never fully completes.
Any help solving my problem would be great! I have internet connectivity at both places.

Still a no go. It will download all the packages, but then checks for package integrity.

Printing Problems after Reader 10 install

Recently deployed Reader 10 to about 300 workstations using Group Policy. Several machines are no longer able to print to some of the network printers. These printers are HP printers using the Universal Print Driver. When trying to print we get an error and the Adobe Reader application crashes. It will however print to other network printers that are using an older device specific driver, printing to the same print device. Have downloaded the latest HP driver, but it has not helped the situation. The printing worked fine with Reader 8 and Reader 9.   Anyone with an Idea?

Sorry only know Windows: Edit (menu)>Preferences>General>Application Startup>Enable Protected Mode at startup.

HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection. If not, are the batteries the right way round. Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading. Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

Problem installing Flash MX04 after new OS install

Hello,
I have just installed WIN XP Pro that came with SP2 on my
notebook. I am trying to install my Studio MX04 suite but when It
gets to flash MX 04, it gets to 95 percent of the install and
shoots an error out.
The error is the following:
Unhandled Exception
Error Number: 0x80040703
Description: Failed to find dll function:
Macromedia_Licensing_Installer.CdaSysInstallEx2
Setup will now terminate.
This message comes after being 95% completed according to the
install progress bar.
Background:
The notebook is a HP Pavilion zd7160us with 512 MB RAM and
2.8 GB Processor
Totally new clean install of Win XP Pro with SP2 (just
purchased)
Legal copy of Studio MX 2004 (just installing again after
wipping the other OS off)
DW, FW, FHMXa, and Extention Manager all installed without a
hitch.
Was installed previously on same notebook with XP home.
I have found other forums where people are having this same
problem but with no resolution to the problem, and all of the
inquiries seem to be linked to SP2.
I would really like it if someone knew why this is happening
and how to fix it.
Thanks,
Bob

I seemed to have solved my issue!
For some reason there was a Flash MX 2004 folder in my
system, there should not have been because I formated the drive
when I installed the new OS. But I deleted that Flash folder as
suggested in another forum and the install went through fine. I am
now downloading the updater 7.02

Serial number no longer valid after new HD installed

I have a macbook that originally came with version 10.5 and I had Final Cut Studio 2 running fine on it. About a month ago it shut down and I was told it was a hard drive failure and the hard drive needed to be replaced. I had it sent in and replaced, but when it returned they had installed version 10.6 on it. Not a big deal i figured except that when I try to re-install FC Studio 2, it told me that I needed Rosetta in order to launch the install. I had Rosetta installed fine and now seemed to be up and installing. However, after I type in the serial number, it keeps saying that I have an invalid serial number. I have tried several times and still cannot get it to pass.
I do have this FCS already installed on my MacPro and had it installed fine on this Macbook until the hard drive failure. My question is, could this be getting hung up because it was installed on another hard drive already or could there be an issue with new OS?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. This is not an upgrade. It is the original version right out of the box. I was simply trying to re-install it after my hard drive was replaced. I understand the groups with letters and numbers and tried it several times looking for possible visual mistakes with no luck. I even tried entering it without the dashes and that was denied. Again, I have loaded this onto my macpro and this laptop before the hard drive failure with no problems. Perhaps a call to Apple is needed to verify the serial number?

Mac Pro refuses to boot after new drive instalation...

Hi
Could anyone shed a bit of light on my problem - Ive just got a new 500gb seagate drive, - when I load it up in order to format, im faced with a blank screen, and os x refuses to even think about booting up - there is also an odd click which Im guessing is the boot drive trying to start.
The new drive slots into place fine, and I made sure I was earthed out before touching it...
When the new drive is taken out, the system starts up without a hitch.
Do I have a duff drive? - or am I missing something blindingly obvious?
Thanks for any help
Maxine.

Hi,
Funny that I saw this message, I am the person that had the exact same problem on the 20th of December.
After trying to install the HD, I had the problem as well. I ended up taking the computer in to my local Apple store, and they kept the Mac Pro.
It is now January 5th and I still do not have the system. Called them an hour ago and they said that the part (they didn't mention what it was) was on BACKORDER, so they had to decide if they were going to wait for the part or give me a brand new system. Hmmmm.... Could this be a NEW hidden problem for the Mac Pro now?
I wanted to purchase an iMac, but was afraid of the lock-up issues. I am starting to regreat my choice and wish I had got an iMac, at least I would have some kind of file server for my network
All I can suggest is to take it in to your local Apple store and let them check it, and then ask if they could fix it right then, or you two could have a system that's not able to be workable.

Windows XP boot problems after latest BDM Installed

Blackberry Desktop Manager 5.0.1
Hi Everyone,
I installed Blackberry Desktop Manager on a Dell Laptop yesterday and after a reboot it took forever to boot into Windows XP SP3 and when it did the machine was completely unresponsive.
I eventually managed to get the Task Manager running and it turns out that the process called System was using 99% CPU constantly.
Safe Mode took 20 minutes to go into Windows and again windows was unresponsive to the point I was unable to open the Control Panel and uninstall BDM.
I tried Last Known Good Configuration to no avail and in the end I reinstalled the System from Scratch.
I couldn't be 100% sure it was the installation of BDM that caused the problem because Windows had installed some updates so I figured a clean install would be a wise move.
I clean installed XP and updated to SP2 and everything was working perfectly again this morning so I tried to install BDM again - same problem!!!
The system is in a state of unresponsiveness again and I am trying desperately to get into Safe Mode to uninstall BDM which will hopefully restore my PC to a working state.
Does anyone have any ideas I can try or has anyone else experienced this?
I am relatively new to the Blackberry world but I am competent with Windows XP and a manner of technical issues but this is something that is really causing me a headache.

I have had the same problem repeatedly since I first got the 'update avilable' message on my Dell xp sp3.
I've found that turning off communication speeds up the computer so that you can go to a restore point or remove the program through the windows add/remove facility. On my machine (Inspiron 6000) it is fn and f2 keys together.
I did NOT have to rebuild my system.
And thank you - I was beginning to think it was me

Problem After iTunes Update Installed

Software Updates did its automatic check and I noticed the window on the desktop that said there was an update. I looked at the details and I thought it said itunes update 10.6.3. I read the details and installed it. After it installed, I restarted the computer and befor the aple appeared but there was still the gray screen I did NOT hear the tone. After about 30 seconds the apple appeared and the gear and it booted to the desktop.
I looked at the version of iTunes by going to About iTunes and the moving box said (althought it was really small this time) but I checked it again and it said 10.6 (4.0). However, I thought when the Updater said there was a newer version of iTunes, I thought it said version 10.6.3, with no paranthesis.
I restarted the MacBook Pro again, and still there was no tone but the gray window was present for about 10 secs then the Apple, and it booted to the desktop. I thought I should get a tone so I shut the MacBook Pro down and pressed the Power button to boot up in Safe Mode, but I did not hear the tone so I did not press the Shift key. I checked the version of iTunes that was installed (assuming a newer version was installed) and it is 10.6 (4.0).
I tured the computer off and tried to do a SMC Reset. I turned the MacBook Pro of left for a couple hours, came back, plugged the MagSafe Adapter in and tried to boot up the computer, no tone heard, the gray screen appeared for about 20 secs, then the Apple, then the gear and it booted to the desktop.
Something has been recently occuring. when I plug in the MagSafe Adapter initially, next to the battery up in the menu next to the Bluetooth icon it says "Not charging" but after about 5 secs it has the charging sign in the middle of the battery. Not sure if this is related or what. I tried to do an SMC Reset when I saw this "Not Charging" when I plugged in the Mag Safe but it did not change anything as far as when I plug in the Mag Safe Adapter it still initially says "Not Charging" for about 5 secs and then it goes away.
I am concerned what to do about hearing no tone and the version of iTunes I thought it said it was going to install but when I checked About iTunes it says 10.6 (4.0)
any help in this matter. I am not the best when it comes to computer knowledge.
thanks

Your explanations have clarified some things (including one misconception I had from not reading your post carefully enough -- I thought you had "hard shut down" by holding down the power button, no in rereading your post, it sounds like you did not do that but rather shut down in an orderly way, that was my misconception).
I too was not aware of the Magsafe Power Supply issues, but it sounds like you would be well off to use that settlement check to obtain a new one. Hopefully that will resolve the charging issues you saw. I work somewhere where there are literally hundreds of Macbook Pro and Air laptops, all with these Magsafe adaptors, and I haven't seen any such complaints, but perhaps yours was part of a bad batch, it sounds like you're not the only one. (I have seen such chargers just wear out after 4-5 years, but then they just stop working altogether, versus the "charging/not charging" business you were seeing.)
I am going to surmise that none of the Magsafe issues have anything to do with iTunes because iTunes is just an application that is not related to the way the laptop charges. I suspect it is a coincidence that the iTunes update happened around the same time. The Magsafe behaviors probably would have manifested themselves even if you had not done the update.
Is your sound working in iTunes? Do you still not have boot up sound? If the answer to both of these questions is yes, you may want to read this Apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 and consider doing a reset of your PRAM and/or NVRAM. I noticed that PRAM does control some sound settings and "attention tones" of the computer (which might include a startup tone perhaps). Something to consider, it's hard to offer advice in these cases without being there in person to observe things. Good luck with all this.
Before you do any resets on PRAM or NVRAM, do re-check your sound settings to confirm that the mute box is not checked. When my Macbook Pro mute box is checked, I get no startup chime also. You might consider checking the mute box, restaring, then unchecking it again just to see if that matters. One last thing -- some other posts in the Discussions involved Macs without a startup chime and people got their chime back after disconnecting or fixing a peripheral that was plugged in via USB or Firewire. I don't understand why that would be, but that is what they reported -- something else for you to consider.

Several problems on new openbox install

Hi guys I switched out my computers and installed openbox on my new one (2001 computer ). First of all I finally got x.org to work on this computer. hurray for me. ok first problem
1. I installed gtk-chtheme to change my gtk2 themes and i installed the clearlooks package to try it out, but it segfaults on me when i try to change a theme.
[jeff@open-box ~]$ gtk-chtheme
/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks-Olive/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:44: Clearlooks configuration option "menuitemstyle" is not supported and will be ignored.
/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks-Olive/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:45: Clearlooks configuration option "listviewitemstyle" is not supported and will be ignored.
/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks-Olive/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:46: Clearlooks configuration option "progressbarstyle" is not supported and will be ignored.

/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks-Olive/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:46: Clearlooks configuration option "progressbarstyle" is not supported and will be ignored.
Segmentation fault
2. I have pcmanfm as a file manager and I would like it to start up with the same settings that I just told it to use. I like it to set my background and use icons on the desktop (all of which can be turned on via it setting dialog). I have it started as pcmanfm& in my autostart.sh. Then I found a post somewhere that said to use the -d option but that didn't work either.
3. I use obconf and obmenu to manage my openbox setup, but they won't work. They give me a "operation not permitted" type message. I ran obmenu as root (via sudo) and it worked perfectly. obconf still didn't function as root or a regular user. weird
4. I have no sound as well. I installed alsa and turned up the volume controls and unmuted them. no luck. do i need esd or something as well?

I'd check the permissions and ownerships in my home directory if I were you. Your third problem is almost certainly caused by something along those lines: either rc.xml itself is unwritable, or one or more of the directories in its path is. It's just about possible the autostart.sh problem is related. Is autostart.sh executable by your user?
The last one: No, you don't need esd. Just a thought, one of those "obvious-but-it's-best-to-check" things: is your user in the audio group?
