OSX CD not being read in Windows XP SP3 while trying to install drivers

I have this very frustrating problem of after smoothly installing windows XP SP3 on my Snow leopard 24" Imac, as soon as I pop in the Leopard CD to install the drivers.. nothing.
The CD drive just says CD ROM E:/, it recognizes that there is a CD in there but it does nothing and its blank.. When I explore it looks like a blank CD and can't run setup.exe or anything.
Tried with a couple of different OSX CDs and still no luck.
Annything that I am missing?

I have solved this problem. I have 2 Snow leopard disks, 1 I bought myself for my MacBook and 1 that came with the unit. It turns out the one that came with the unit (used machine..very good though) is a copy and cannot be read in any instance. I tried the copy I bought and everything went with out a glitch and all is working fine.

  • Windows Installer error while trying to install Acrobat Reader 8

    I am trying to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 off the CS3 disc. I already have Acrobat 8 Professional (8.2.3) installed. I just need the Reader. Whenever I try to install the Reader I get the following error, "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnal for assistance."
    I have tried all the Microsoft fixes for this situation, but I still keep getting the error message. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Nevermind, I figured out what was wrong. I had disabled User Account Control (UAC) when I was tweaking my OS. So I enabled UAC again and was able to install Acrobat Reader 8 without any problems.

  • IPOD SHUFFLE PLUGGED INTO USB HUB BUT NOT BEING READ

    I recently got a 4 port USB hub because I needed extra usb ports. I mainly use the hub to connect my flash drive, external hard drive and my IPOD shuffle, but the only thing that isn't getting read by the computer is the shuffle. Everything else that is conncected to the hub is being read by windows. The shuffle just sits there, when plugged into the hub, blinking a green light (which doesn't look normal). The hub itself is a 2.0 hub. HELP!

    I had the same problem. FIRST, I had to remove the software that came with the original ipod shuffle. 2005/06/26, and replace it with the older version 2005/01/11 that I found on this site: http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/220012/apple-ipod-ipod-mini-ipod-photo-ipod-sh uffle-software-updater-2005-01-11-windows-2000-xp-free-download.html
    Once in a while it still doesn't recognize the ipod, but I think that's a usb port problem. Unplug it and plug it in again and it should be fine. Just make sure you remove the original software first in the add/remove programs section!
    Also, if Mac is so good (according to some people on this site), why did Mac start using the Windows XP software and not vice-versa!!! haha
    Good Luck!!!

    I have a lot of grief with this version of Windows Media Player.
    It is very buggy and frustrating to use.
    I have my Music library on a QNAP NAS, which is as reliable as they come.
    System notifications make it not save changes.  It also does not do a good job of interpreting albums and artists from folders.  Changes to track names are not saved, nor are tracks moved to other albums, renamed albums, changes to genre, artist
    or date.  It separates and merges albums/tracks without sense or reason.  Some changes I've made up to 4 times, then closed WMP and re-started my machine to check if it has/hasn't saved the changes.  Often it has not.
    This is the first time I've used WMP in this capacity, and I do not recommend it.
    New service pack please.

  • When plugging in an iPad in Apple Configurator, it is not being read under USB Connected so I can't update it.  Any ideas on how to get the system to read the iPad?

    When plugging in an iPad in Apple Configurator, it is not being read under USB Connected so I can't update it.  The iPhoto window opens up and reads the photos on the iPad, so it is connecting to the computer.  Earlier today I wasn't having any problems.  I have shut down the iPad and the computer and started over, but that didn't help.  Any ideas on how to get the system to read the iPad so I can update the apps on it?

    Hi, is the problem just to update your apps on your iPad? Here is what you should check. Is the iTunes on your computer updated to the latest version? Does your iPad needs to be updated? Do you have enough storage on your iPad to do the update? On your device is your iCloud back up checked?
    Go to Settings - iCloud - Backup/Storage - see if its checked, and try unchecking it before connecting it to the computer.
    Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

  • Ipod not being read and freezing

    When I plug my ipod into my computer, it goes to "do not disconnect" but not the flashing do not disconnect. Its frozen. My computer wont read it. So I unplug it and its frozen. I know how to restart it but that doesnt help me from when it freezes again once I hook it up. How do I stop it from freezing and not being read. Thanks

    i am having a similar problem with my 4g 20G
    it freezes when i try to update. i thought maybe it was the latest version of itunes i recently installed but i reverted back to an old updater version and itunes 6 and while i was able to get 300 songs on the ipod without freezing, when i tried to put the rest of my library on there it freezes. i've even tried to put as little as 15 songs on at a time and that still freezes the ipod.

  • XML file not being read by Accordion Demo

    I had this working last week and it was a beautiful thing. I
    subsequently added many more product items to the products.xml file
    and resent it, now the products.xml file is not being read by the
    index page. I have read all the posts and added all the suggested
    fixes -
    added {useCache: false} to result in var dsProductFeatures =
    new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("products.xml", "products/product[name =
    '{dsProducts::name}']/features/feature",{useCache: false})
    added <cfheader name="Cache-Control" value= "no-cache">
    <cfheader name="Expires" value="0">
    <cfheader name="Pragma" value="no-cache"> to header
    added var d = new Date();
    var cToday = d.getSeconds();
    var spryURL = "
    http://localhost:8500/SpryMe/Sample1/employees.xml?cacheBuster="
    + cToday; to header
    but my xml file is not being read. The script is running
    because the little fields on the right are moving.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi,
    What's happening if you open the xml page (employees.xml)
    directly in browser. Are you able to see all the records? Is the
    XML valid?
    Regards,

    PS: do you have a public URL where we can see that?

  • My 3rd gen ipod nano is not being read by itunes when I plug it into my mac laptop.  It says "no name" on the mac screen, I lost all my music on the ipod itself.

    My 3rd gen iPod nano is not being read by my iTunes on my mac.  When going to sync, the mac screen says "no name". Also I believe I lost all the music on the iPod.  When turned on it says "Welcome" as if it is new.  I tried to copy all my music into the "no name" folder and then sync.  The iPod said it was "syncing".

    So does iTunes see the iPod or not?  I couldn't quite understand from your post as you said it wasn't, but then said that the iPod was syncing...
