OS X 10.5 install issue with DVD

I purchased the OS X 10.5 upgrade for my MacBook (purchased in July 2007) which was running OS X 10.4.11. When the OS upgrade install was completed, I got an error message saying that "Install Did Not Complete due to Failed DVD. Please see your authorized Apple Dealer."
Once the machine was rebooted, OS X 10.5 came up but server of the software like Safari and OS tools were not working. I took it to my local Genius Bar. The guy try server things. He tried a reinstall with an achieve, but the same DVD error message came up. He couldn't get the OS X 10.5 DVD out of the drive. The utility for that was not working.
I left my MacBook with the tech who called today to say that he was able to finally get the DVD out. He also said that there would be a $75.00 charge to do a archive reinstall on OS X 10.5. He noticed it wasn't working properly.
Now due to Apple's OS X upgrade, I am suck with a $75.00 bill (plus the $200 bucks for the DVD) and OS X 10.5 DVD that doesn't work properly.
Is this Apples' way of saying welcome to Leopard!
I am ******!

It is not clear why you posted here. Is there something we can do for you? This is a technical forum for assisting people in installing Leopard. Nobody here works for Apple - it's all volunteer.
If your DVD was defective you should have contacted Apple for a replacement immediately.
You could then have restored your previous system with your backup and continued with no problem.

Install issue with CD drives / and burning

I am running Windows Vista 64 on a new computer I built (latest ASUS P5K-E with a quad Q6600 cpu and 4gigs of RAM). I transferred all my music and installed iTunes. Everything is working fine except for the burning of disks. It did give me a prompt at the end of the iTunes install and on first startup that there may be a problem recognizing the CD drives. However, there is no problem importing music on those CD/DVD burner drives -- but I cannot burn on those drivers. I can burn using other software on these drives -- no issues with the drives at all. Under iTunes "Preferences", and 'Burning' it states "No supported Disk burners found". Both are Lite-on CD/DVD burner drives and less than a year old -- and of course worked on the old XP computer with iTunes. I have uninstalled, reinstalled iTunes -- no luck. Any ideas? This looks to be something in the Registry on install, but not sure what to do. Any help appreciated.

You may need the CD Configuration folder too, after you install the drivers.
Here is the CD Configuration folder, with the Files you need Just Unzip it and place the CD Configuration Folder into Your C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes Directory

I had my friend with Windows Vista x86 Install iTunes and give me the Folder and Files I needed.
Hope this helps you

MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings install issues with Vista

Hello,
I recently upgraded my ThinkPad Z60m to Vista by doing a clean install from disk. Since this process involves manually installing each of the ThinkPad utilities manually (no pre-built image for Vista, only XP), I have ran into some issues with the installer for the MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings.
According to the Support & Download page, there are two downloads available for the Z60m and both have issues (or errors) that are preventing me from installing the application. Below are the two products and reasons for not installing:
"MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000"
Problem: Does not install on Vista
Error message: "Could not open \device\physicalmemory"
"MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows Vista"
Problem: ThinkPad Z60m is not a supported
Error message: "This program is not for machine type 2529EAU"
What I am looking for is an installation of MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings that supports users who have upgraded from XP to Vista (or downgrade depending on your feelings of Vista ). I have not found anywhere saying that upgrades from XP to Vista are not supported, so I should expect that software updates should be available for ThinkPad products on either platform.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I recently did a clean install of Win7 Ult on my X61 7676A24, and this is the only Lenovo software that I could not find a Win 7 solution for. However,
1. I was able to load WinDVD8 upgrade (from Lenovo's Win7 information page) after first loading the WinDVD5 version that was the last good release for Vista.
2. The Multimedia Center for Think Offerings is basically Roxio's suite for writing cd/dvd's, drag to disc and so on.
Since I could not load this anyway, I was forced to try out Win7's inbuilt cd/dvd writing - it works perfectly well. Even better, Win7 natively supports an excellent ISO burning tool. So, I think if you explore these inbuilt tools, you can probably live without the Mul Cent for Think Off.

APEX Listener 1.1.4 install issue with listener configuration

Oracle XE 11gR2
APEX 4.1.1
APEX Listener 1.1.4
Glassfish 3.0.1
=============
Installing APEX Listener 1.1.4 to replace APEX Listener 1.0.2. Deployed apex.war file but now:
(1) http://10.10.1.111:8080/apex/listenerConfigure web page comes up but with no frames/windows rendered, as if it can not find images. Still I can enter data into fields. Wonder why the graphics/images are missing when page is rendered.
(2) after entering Listener connection information for user APEX_PUBLIC_USER, I get "Permission denied". I can connect via SQL Developer to APEX_PUBLIC_USER with same credentials. I was able to connect before with previous APEX Listener.
Any ideas?

Hi,
(1) http://10.10.1.111:8080/apex/listenerConfigure web page comes up but with no frames/windows rendered, as if it can not find images.
You either have to clean your browser cache or your browser is too old/not capable of rendering the css of APEX Listener correctly.
(2) after entering Listener connection information for user APEX_PUBLIC_USER, I get "Permission denied". "Permission denied" doesn't sound an issue with your database configuration. Do you have anything in your APEX Listeners log (probably within your GFs server.log) for that issue?
But perhaps the error disappears as soon as you also get a proper configuration page.

Vertex install issues with 46C - RFC setup?

Dear Fellow SAPoniSeries'ers,
We have installed the Vertex Q Series tax software with our SAP 46c implementation and we are having issues with the Remote Function Call (RFC) setup. We know that Vertex and SAP programs need to have the same "signatures" for the LIBRFC service program, and when we finally figured that out, but now we get the following message for the VERRFC but the RFCTEST works ok;
"time out during allocate /CPI-C error CM_PRODUCT_SPECIFIC_ERROR"
It appears that the RFC is trying to run as it does not immediately fail. VERRFC and RFCTEST are both now bound to VERQSU/LIBRFC service program.
We have upgraded to the ASCII database format, we are running OS/400 V5R3 and the Vertex software is Translink 2.0.22.
I would GREATLY appreciate any advice or lessons learned.
THANK-YOU!
Tim Murphy
Nalge Nunc International

Tim, I don't recall just how we fixed this, but we had the same isses. Here is a cut/paste from an email I have from Vertex...this is a bit old, but may give some insight:
In the past, we have encountered issues when customers upgraded their SAP
Kernel on the AS400 (ex: going from LIBRFC 44 to LIBRFC 48)with a different
version of the SAP service program. For convenience Vertex started
providing a backup LIBRFC file in the event a problem was encountered that
caused calls to Translink (VERRFC) to fail because of incompatible or
unmatched signatures in a newer release of SAP's LIBRFC.
We have also encountered similar issues when upgrading Translink, as you
became aware when you applied your recent Vertex 3.0 & 3.1 upgrades.
Because we need to be compatible with various releases of R/3, we provide a
renamed copy of SAP's LIBRFC that we used at time of binding. This file is
LIBRFCBCK.
In the event of a signature violation, the Vertex LIBRFCBCK can be renamed
in-place to LIBRFC and Translink will find this version of the Service
Program first. Translink (VERRFC) will always look locally for the file. If
not found, it will find the one SAP provides in the SAP instance and
attempt to use it.
Volker, we use Vertex, issues with ASCII, ECC6.0?

App-V 5 SP2 install issue with Intel NIC Driver 11.16.96.0

When deploying App-V 5 SP2 using SCCM 2007 it will install with no problem on the machine. However, when the user reboots after the install the machine will blue screen. The user then reboots again and machine comes up to the desktop. However,
the App-V service is not running and is still set to automatic.
Looking at the Blue Screen dmp file the common theme looks to be a conflict with an Intel NIC driver version 11.16.96.0. Machines running an older version of the driver do not experience the issue with the blue screen after reboot and the App-V service
starts with no issues.
Has anyone seen this issue before?

Version 19 appears to be the latest: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=18713&lang=eng&ProdId=3025
Have you tested with this version instead?

Playability Issues with DVD's in Set-top Players

One of the problems that users often encounter is that a DVD-Video disc will not play in a stand-alone player. Often, these will play in a multi-drive on a computer, through a software player. What is the reason?
Well first, that disc is not really a DVD-Video, per se, but is a DVD-ROM, as it was burned, and not stamped from a glass master in a replication house. All DVD players are certified to play any replicated DVD, regardless of whether it is a DVD-5, or a DVD-9. None are certified to play any burned DVD, regardless of type (+R or -R), or any configuration, DVD-5 or DVD-9. Most will, given certain criteria, but some just will not.
The best that one can do is to use top-quality blank DVD media. This is the biggest cause of issues with playability in set-top players. The issues can be hangs, skips, dropping of Audio or Video or plain failure to play. Verbatim, Falcon Pro, or Taiyo Yuden are about as good as it gets. Brands, such as Memorex, TDK, recent Ritek and any store brands are to be avoided. Most will use the cheapest possible media and just rebrand those to their logo. A spindle of 100 might have blank discs from 4 different mfgrs.
Another consideration is to use a slower burn speed, rather than the fastest possible. One limit with PrE is that it will take an average of the speed of the media and the burner, and choose the fastest possible burn speed. The best that one can do is to buy the slowest media possible, say a 4x, rather than 16x media. A workaround is to Burn to Folder, and then use a burning utility, like the free ImgBurn, and then choose a speed in the middle/lower-middle of the range. ImgBurn will also tell you who the mfgr. was for your blank media, and the lot number.
The Burn to Folder is a good way to test a Project, as you would then do a test with a DVD software player, checking for errors. A second approach is to use a DVD RW disc (for testing ONLY and NOT for delivery), and test in several set-top players. One 10-pack should last for years.
Last, in years past, the type of blank media, +R or -R made a bigger difference. Most newer set-top players are much more lenient regarding type, but older ones still can pose problems, if the other type is used. Most BD players will handle either just fine, when playing a DVD.
Good luck,
Hunt

ColdFusion 8.01 install issue with Win2008 server

I am having an issue with the installer on ColdFusion 8.01 in Win2008 server. I have done 5 or 6 identical installs with no problem so this caught me by surprise, The server OS is Server 2008 R2 Enterprise service pack1. I am running the install (coldfusion-801-win.exe) as an administrator in emulation mode (Windows Server 2003 service pack 1). The following is the error i get. As I stated earlier I have done this exact install, both single & multi-server, on 5 or 6 Win2008 servers with no issue. Any help would be appreciated.

It is definitely possible as I did it some time ago, alas don't have notes any more. Unless anyone here has some specific build notes on it, it's just a case of "Google is your friend" unfortunately.

Issues with DVD quality using iDVD

Dear All,
I badly need advice on a very frustrating problem: I'm having major issues with the quality of the DVDs burnt on my iMac when using iDVD.
Here below are the steps that I follow
I upload the HDV 1080i 60 footage to FCE 4 using the apple Intermediate codec.
Once the editing is done, I export to QT (self-contained)
I use the QT in iDVD and then burn it
The result is sub-par compare to any street DVDs, the motion is sometimes slightly jerky.
What do I do wrong? Coming from HDV footage, I would expect a cisp and clear result in standard definition DVD.
I am wondering if this has to do with the capability of my equipment or a poor use of both softwares.
Thank you in advance for the advices
produced using

After rendered everything did the video resolution and quality look good in FCE when you set your canvas view size to 100%?
If the answer to the first question is yes, then the export settings are the problem. Please list all the settings used for your QT export.

7.6.1 has install issues with XP Home

On a clean install of XP Home, both iTunes 7.6.1 and 7.6.0.29 fail installation and show an alert that "itunesphotosupport.dll" cannot be accessed because it does not have permission. However, I'm signed in as Administrator.
I've tried downloading with both IE7 and FF, but the result is the same. Even went back to a restore point created after XP was updated and before any additional programs were installed.
Judging from the number of users who are having issues with 7.6 one has to conclude that the program was released prematurely. I'm not going to sell my Apple stock, but wish they would stop imitating Microsoft.

I would like to get an install log:
1. Choose Run from the Start menu.
2. Type cmd and press Return.
A command prompt window appears.
3. Drag the iTunesSetup.exe (make sure it is iTunes 7.6.1) file from
your desktop or downloads folder into the window.
4. Type a space and then this text: /l*v C:\log.txt
5. Hit Return
The iTunes installer runs and creates log.txt in your C:\ drive.
6. Attach that log.txt file to an email back to me <[email protected]>.

Commentary, Audio & Burning Issues with DVD-9

Hi. I have a collection of problems here that sprouted up when building and formatting a dual-layer disc. I have a feature film with two commentaries on top of the normal audio track. If you hit play on the main menu, I specified A1 (which is the normal track) and it goes to two .jpegs (FBI Warning & Interviews/Commentaries Disclaimer) and then plays the movie.
If you go to the Special Features menu, you can hit two play buttons with each commentary specified to them (A2 & A3) the two .jpegs appear and then the movie plays.
This works fine in the simulator but when I build the disc and play the VIDEO_TS & AUDIO_TS folder in Apple's DVD Player, this doesn't work. A1 is what is heard (I have to manually select the commentary audio tracks in DVD Player). I tried bypassing the .jpegs and have the commentary buttons go straight to the movie and this works when I build and play in DVD Player. I wouldn't prefer to do it that way. So if there's a solution it would be appreciated.
My second issue is more related to audio encoding. But I'm not sure if this is a Compressor issue or DVD SP4 issue. I encode the audio from .AIFFs or audio from .MOVs into Dolby .AC3 files. The settings in Compressor is:
http://www.underlibertymovie.com/Compressor_Settings.png
The audio sounds fine in the simulator, however when I build the disc and open in DVD Player, the audio levels are all over the map. Whenever something is bassy (low frequency) happens, the audio levels are dropped and then gradually raises to normal level. So whenever the bass drum hits in the soundtrack or explosions, this sounds really strange. I'm sorry if this is solely a Compressor issue but I thought I'd give it a shot.
And thirdly, this is a dual layer DVD-9 at 6.6 GBs of data. I've set a valid layer break point as far as I know and have tried to burn several times. First I had Memorex DVD+R DL media and it would write the lead-in, start the first bit of the image, then abort and say "The device reported an error: Unknown device" and then there was an error code that I can't recall (something like 00x 04x)
After finding out that Memorex is not a reputable brand, I had my partner drive quite a ways to find DVD+R DL Verbatim discs (which is what people were consistently recommending) and the same problem occurred. I also noticed afterward that both brands are ReWritable discs. The Memorex discs didn't specify this but my Mac said it was. I can burn another DVD and get the exact error message if that helps.
Sorry for such a long post, but I'm at a loss with these issues. Thanks.

Hi Logimec,
If your playback requirements are as simple as you say, here is an option
that will work with no scripts.
Have your FBI and commentaries as one short vid track and create 3 stories
name the 1st "... A1", the next story as "...A2" then another for A3.
in the story inspector,general tab, DISABLE all other audio options except
the one which coresponds with the desired audio content, you must do this
even if they have no audio to go with them.
then create 3 stories for your feature track named "...A1,2,3 (same as earlier)
and again, enable ONLY the audio track you wish presented.
select the buttons, one at a time for each option and look to the "Button inspector, advanced tab, streams option"
and select the audio stream you wish presented.
Needless to say you must also RE-target your buttons to the desired story
line and not the main tracks.
you must be sure that the end jump from the warning to the feature goes to
the coresponding story/audio option, A1 to A1, A2 to A2, etc.
I also recommend you look in the help manual under "Setting the dual layer direction" "OTP & ATP" it may help you improve the delay at your "Break Point"
Hope this helps,

Issues With DVD Studio Pro 1.5 - MPEG2 Encoding & Building Discs

Hi.
I'm having problems encoding MPEG2 files in final cut express - everytime I try to encode, final cut closes.
Also, when I go to build and format a disc in dvd studio pro, this also closes.
I have looked at updating dvd studio pro to 1.5.2 and although I have downloaded the .bin file for the update, I don't know how to get it to run. The download is from the following link ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120138 )
If anyone could help at all, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Of all the early versions of DVDSP, 1.5.2 was the most stable and you really ought to be using that if you are not going to upgrade further.
V1 was notoriously flaky. I used to chant 'Apple+S' every day when I used it, just to remind me to save... I lost count of the number of hours lost when the app hung or crashed. That version of DVDSP was built on an entirely different code base to the current version. There are still folk who prefer to use V1 despite its faults, but I am not one of them... although I do still run a version of it somewhere.
The upgrade will be straightforward enough. Double click the file you have downloaded and you should get a disc image. Open it and double click on the files inside. Keep your serial number handy, although I don't recall it being needed for a minor upgrade.
You may find that encoding is your biggest hurdle. Back in the day of v1.5 there were very few cheap options open to you. One was to use the Quicktime MPEG encoder, which was a system file you had to install into the QT folder in the system library. Since the system library can't be altered whilst the system is running (i.e. your mac is on) this was a bit of an issue - you either used the terminal app, or booted into target disc mode and used a second mac to put the file into the right location. Sheesh. Alternatively, you used an altogether better encoder - BitVice. These days you have many different options for encoding - try simply exporting from FCE as .mov and encoding in something else entirely. You need to end up with elementary streams -ideally a .M2V and .aiff (for audio). You should also have A.Pack installed on your hard drive. Use this to encode the audio to AC3 (Dolby Digital).
Then bring those assets in to DVDSP and author quickly. Use Apple+S frequently - like every time you make a change. Don't use the preview if you can avoid it, as it tended to crash out more often than not. Build the disc as a disc image and test it in DVDPlayer app.
Of course, for a relatively low cost you can now use DVDSP v3 or 4 (available on eBay most days, I think!) This uses a far more stable code base, a more graphical approach to authoring and has more bells and whistles (not that you'll need them all the time, if ever). It is based on DVD Maestro (PC App) and is very similar to use. Advantages are many and varied compared to V1 but there is a consequential hit on speed IMO. That said, if your mac is anything close to modern (I author mostly on an old G4 still) then you will be fine.

Cs4 install issues with windows 8

I am having problems installing masters 4 on my new laptop with windows 8 it does not have a dvd player, after days of downloading from your cs4 page i gave up from the errors and went and bought a DVD player to use my discs from adobe... I can get it to open ask if i want to install which I say yes it Starts to run then stops... I have turned off the processes in windows clean booted and same thing.
So after weeks of frustration how do you declaring i install my product?
To avoid this with lightroom i bought just weeks ago i upgraded to the new one to avoid this exact same thing. Amazingly it worked fine after i paid for the new version...
I do not need the upgrades... cs4 does what I need it to do just fine for when i need to use it i mostly use lightroom for work and photoshop and illustrator or every great now and then one of the others in the collection.
This is very frustrating and swaying my client loyalty...
So where can you direct me to directions to install my programs please?
This is preventing me from working.

CS4 was never tested on Win 8 or developed with it in mind. Compatibility issues are to be expectred. Provide exact system info and the install logs:

Windows 7 install issue with Snow Leopard

Hey Guys!
Just upgraded my Macbook Pro (Unibody Late 2008) to Snow Leopard and did all software updates. I then partitioned the drive to install Windows. When installing Windows it would only install if I reformatted the partition I wanted to install it on. So I did that. After hours of installing and udating Windows 7 I found that I did not have bootcamp on the bar at the bottom. I tried to upgrade to BootCamp 3.1 but it says Bootcamp 3.0 is needed and not present.
How do I install Bootcamp 3.0 from Windows?
How do I get back to Mac OS? I have been stuck (ugh!!!) in Windows since Friday...
I tried to download the pdf file to read about installing Windows 7 but Windows will not install Acrobat Reader (I really hate windows), fought with it for 1 hour trying to install it.
anyways thanks in advance for the help
KK

Hey Guys
I eventually solved the Boot Camp Problem but then shortly after that had a different problem crop up.
It will not boot my Mac OS, it says the partition is corrupted. Even if I boot from an install disk, it will not mount the Mac portion of the Hard drive. Best info I can get on the issue is that part of my B Tree is too large? Mac Repair utility will not fix it.
Suggestions? Even if I cannot use the partition as a bootable drive I would like to get my data from that disk. Unfortunately I do not seem to have a backup of the data on that drive.
thanks
