Problem installing SD Firmware v2.0. Help needed!

I installed the firmware through the Apple Software Update tool and upon restarting my computer got stuck.
I had just rebooted the computer, after installing the QT 7.1.1 update. I re-ran the SW, it popped the Firmware update, I clicked install, it downloaded and asked for a reboot. I clicked yes, it powered down, then up, I heard the chime, and saw the white screen with the apple and the spinning thingy at the bottom -- the usual. Then it switched to a light blue screen, completely blank, and it's been there for 15 min.
Could this be because of peripherals connected to the system? I have the following devices connected to the computer: (1) an external fireware drive plugged in, which has a bootable clone of my old Panther system (now I run Tiger), but it would only boot from there if I hold the Option key and select it. (2) an external monitor connected to my miniDV port. (3) a USB mouse. (4) an Ethernet cable.
In the meantime I unplugged the monitor, and the ethernet. The rest is still plugged in.
I could use any help or comments! The machine is still stuck with the light blue screen. Should I hold the power button to power it down and unplug the external firewire drive? Thanks!

  • Problem installing Creative Suite CS4, major help needed

    Basically I need help asap because I uninstalled my previous versions of PS etc to install this and work has to be done.
    I installed the "Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection" yesterday without problems, but then something happened to my machine last night which forced me to do a system restore.
    I restored and the suite was no longer installed, since then I have had many problems trying to install it again.
    It keeps getting up to about 5/8 of the progress bar then it freezes on "Currently installing Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin". I did have trouble trying to install "Adobe Flash Player 10" before and finally managed to do it, but it's still freezing when installing the suite.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Liam

    OK now it's installed, all of the programs work fine except for photoshop.
    I did have photoshop cs2 and cs3 previously installed.
    I load up "Adobe Photoshop CS4" and it starts loading, it says "initialising" etc and then when it gets to "Building TWAIN menu items" it pops up with the "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" message window asking me to "Send Error Report".
    Any ideas please?
    Regards

  • Problem uninstalling MaxMSPRuntime on mac - urgent help needed

    Hello there,
    I've been using Cycle 74's MaxMSP Runtime version 5.1 for a while but recently had to witch to an earlier version to make some hardware function along side the Max runtime environment. The problem is that where i would usually just drag and drop Max 5.1 into the trash to uninstall it, for some reason, after i have done this and try to install the older version of Max, OSX wont let me install Max 4.0.8 as it says an updated version is currently installed. I have scoured my hard drive for the remanence of Max 5.1. and deleted everything i've found. Is there a way of overriding macosx and getting it to replace Max5.1 with an older version?
    Urgent help needed as i am playing a show this weekend and currently am not able to get my equipment to function.
    A shiny nickel for the one who saves my ***.
    Thanks
    Henry

    Hi- Try this...
    If you can, reinstall or use time machine to recover your recently deleted MaxMSP Runtime 5.1.
    Then, download AppZapper. It is a utility that helps you cleanly delete programs off your mac. It is free for the first 5 uses.
    http://appzapper.com/
    Then, install AppZapper, and then go ahead and drag the MaxMSP Runtime 5.1 into it, and it should hopefully get rid of the pesky program

  • IReader installed but wont open Urgent help needed please!

    I have installed Acrobat Reader X.

    I get an option to Debug, Send error report or Dont send.

    1. camera loading - have you tried updating or reinstalling your firmware?
    2. keyboard - define strange
    3. slow - how much is phone memory and what apps are running in background (see taskmanager, hold menu key until it shows)? turn off theme animations. it helps.
    4.  handwriting - have you set the handwriting recognition to recognize your particular penmanship? Go to menu>settings>phone>touch input. Set writing speed to very fast, calibrate your screen and take handwriting training so the phone will recognize your handwriting.
    5. qwerty - what things? how so? have you set it to qwerty?
    6. cannot scroll in file manager - its not a problem. Thats normal for the OS. Use Nokia Photobrowser or the Gallery for viewing pictures. File manager is for managing files, not viewing them.
    7.  Motion sensors - read #3
    8. Phone feels hot - how hot? Batteries heat up when charged. Its normal. However it depends on how hot exactly.
    9. Depends maybe on how long the video is. My 5800 feels hot when watching an entire movie. Also this would be reflected on #3 as well, as the phone may be working overtime.
    10.  Music when unplug headset - Its normal for almost all Nokia phones (heck even some other brands this is normal), try to use an alternative player if you like
    11. Back cover -  Its the design
    12. Yotube - use youtube app
    13. Use Nokia Photo Browser download from ovi store. It shows pics only and looks real cool. Anyway, you can put all your videos in the gallery into a virtual folder so that it is separate. Its the way the gallery is designed, to show both pics and video. As you can see, it is written Images and Videos, so they're supposed to be together in there.
    14. Adobe still hasnt caughtup its mobile solutions for its PC solutions. Its their fault not Nokia's or anyone else's.
    15. Depends on extension. Built in office reader only reads .doc, not .docx.

  • Problem installing software/updates...HELP!

    Everytime I try to install new software or updates to existing software I'm asked for the admin. password. I'm the only user on my iBook so my password is the admin. password. However, when I use my password I get an error message saying that I need admin. permissions to complete the install/update.
    Something is wrong since I've only gotten this message in the past couple of weeks. Up to that point I never had this problem.
    I've checked and re-checked my password. I've checked and repaired the keychain permissions. I've checked and repaired my disk permissions (both my hard drive and additional RAM).
    I'm at my wits end with this...I hope someone can help me out.
    Thanks in advance!

    Start up with the system DVD(DVD in drive, hold down the c key).
    Go under disk utility,select reset password.

  • WAS 6.40 ABAP stack install - error with sapstartsrv.exe - Help needed!

    Hi all,
    Can anyone assist me with a new installation issue? I am trying to perform an initial install of WAS 6.40 SP3 ABAP stack (non unicode) using the NW Master CD and CD51030103 for the SAP Kernel on a vanilla W2K AS server.
    I also have a previously installed working version of EP6.0 SP9 on WAS 6.40 (SP9) on the same physical server.
    The problem is occuring at the Create and reregister services part of the new 6.40 kernel install, I am getting the message:
    WARNING 2004-12-08 18:45:26
    Execution of the command "F:\usr\sap\IDS\SYS\exe\run/sapstartsrv.exe '-r' '-q' '-p' 'F:\usr\sap\IDS\SYS\profile\START_DVEBMGS00_devbox01' '-s' 'IDS' '-n' '00' '-U' 'devbox01\SAPServiceIDS' '-P' 'XXXXXX' '-e' 'devbox01\idsadm'" finished with return code -1. Output: Test call to Service failed.Profile parameter SAPSYSTEMNAME or SAPSYSTEM doesn't match installation parameters.Service not correctly installed.
    ERROR 2004-12-08 18:45:26
    MOS-01011 'F:\usr\sap\IDS\SYS\exe\run/sapstartsrv.exe' returned with '-1'.
    I have had no problems in the past in installing a 6.20 kernel on the same host as a portal server, but this time with 6.40 I have had no luck.
    I have tried replacing the version of sapstartsrv.exe from the
    ..usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\run directory with a more recent version to see if the exe version was the problem but this has not resolved.
    I have also tried to run the installation again without deleting the previous files, and this has also made no difference.
    I have read through most of the forum's regarding problems with sapstartsrv.exe failing, but couldn't find anything that can help fix my problem.
    If anybody thinks they can help, it would be most appreciated
    Cheers,
    Paul

    Hi Sergio, hi Paul,
    I'm getting the same error while trying to install with RI 2.5. Interesting enough, I also have a 6.20 installed on the same machine.
    Sergio, do you mean by your last post one should change the system nr when configuring the installation?
    Paul, did you find a workaround/solution?
    Thanks in advance

  • A problem installing the firmware on a Zen Mi

    I was having problems with my Zen Micro, the usual Firmware problem and the cannot connect to device problem.
    I solved it like this:
    uninstalled all creative software
    Rolled Back WMP to Version 9, then installed version 0.
    Ran the firmware install: Sucessful
    Installed the creative software
    its all working funky dowry nowMessage Edited by Skipper_is on 0-25-200702:23 PM

    Your player is in 'recovery mode'. I think you should connect your Zen to the USB and select option 3: 'reload firmware'. Then run the firmware program you got from the website and this should load the firmware onto your Zen automatically.Message Edited by joshua32 on 04-24-2006 0:6 PM

    Flex Multi-File Upload Server Side File Handler

    Because flash uploads all files with a binary mime type ("application/ocet-stream") we cannot set cffile to accept specfic mime types.
    The workaround is to check the file type after it arrives on the server and if it is non desireable delete it.

            <cfset filecheck = listFindNoCase(acceptedFileExtensions,File.ServerFileExt)/>
    <!---

    <!---
    Should any error occur output a pdf with all the details.
    It is difficult to debug an error from this file because no debug information is
    diplayed on page as its called from within the Flash UI.  If your files are not uploading check
    to see if an errordebug.pdf has been generated.
    --->

    Just 2 things in my test:
    1) I use no accept attribute. Coldfusion is then free to upload any extenstion.
    Restricting the type to application/octet-stream may generate errors. Also, it is unnecessary, because we perform a type check anyway.
    2) I have used #ExpandPath('.')#\ in place of #ExpandPath('\')#

    Please help. I tried to download Adobe Flash Player 5 times without success. Every time it states Installation succeeded, but I can't find it anywhere.
    I have to keep closing and opening Browsers without any reaction of the so called installed Flash Player. What a mess!

    Go to the BIOS, under config, change the HDD mode to COMPATIBILITY. Your HDD should now be seen by the installer CD. Upon installing all the drivers using System Update, you can put it back to the default option.
