Problem with full Reinstalation of OS on old G4

Hi there.
I've recently upgraded to a G5, and am giving my G4 Quicksilver 2002 to a friend, but when I transferring over files etc., I accidentally deleted most of the program and system files on the G4.
I've tried to re-install OSX 10.3 from the upgrade disks which didn't work (got as far as the apple logo and spinning disk, then it hung overnight), I've tried to re-install from the original 10.1 disks that came with the machine, which gets as far as the installation progress bar, then stopped about 3/4 ways through, now it either shows broken folder/kernel symbol when it's started, or even worse, the apple logo appears on screen corrupted!! (New one on me). I seem to have really fritzed something core to the start-up procedure, any ideas/help? Eek! Help!

It gets worse! Not it won't even switch on!! I've reset the PMU, reset the logic board, but now have the whole "Screen is Black, No Startup Tone, Drive Does Not Operate" thing. The disc drive spins up, but that's it. It doesn't even detect the keyboard or mouse.

Not a thread issue, no thread on this side of the program and yes there is a media tracker. However I have learned that my problem was that my screen does not like to flip to 800x600 for java applications for some reason thx any way.

Problem with full-text search in RH8

Hi All,
I've just upgraded from RH6 to RH8 (laptop running Windows XP SP3; RH6 still present on the computer but the RH8 setup program did not seem to have a problem with that: identified an earlier version was present, asked for its serial number, and then proceeded).
RH8 is working just fine, except for one thing: in the WebHelp output I generate, the Search tab displays: "Error: Failed to initialize database".
As a matter of fact, the generation details in RH8 output view state:
Processing Full-text-search data...
Finished processing Full-Text-Search data in 0 sec(s)
This is the case for legacy projects that RH8 upgraded from RH6, but also when I create a project from scratch in RH8.
Now, to add to my confusion, before buying RH8, I had downloaded RH8 trial version and installed it on a spare computer (so it would not interfere with my RH6 installation and projects). The tests with this version were OK (hence the decision to buy the upgrade), and guess what: there was no problem whatsoever with full-text search, neither on legacy projects nor on new projects.
So before I go into the pains of uninstalling / reinstalling (hello registry, it's me again, trying to clean things up ;-), I'd like to know if anyone has any idea why this is happening.
Just to be clear: The RH8 version I bought and installed was a new download, distinct from the initial trial download.
The 3 differences between the trial version and the current working version are:
Trial was on a Vista computer (working version is on XP SP3)
Trial did not have RH6 present on the computer
Trial was version 8.0.0.203, whereas the working version is 8.0.2.208 (immediately after it was installed, RH prompted me to install the updates)
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Hi All,
Just for the record, IT people here were eventually able to have RH8 full-text search feature working on my laptop by:
1/ Installing an XP virtual machine from scratch, and then installing RH8 on it (we created a small project and generated the webhelp output, just to make sure the search feature did work in that environment).
2/ Using a software virtualization application to capture that RH8 install and deploy it on my laptop.
The problem is not solved, because we still don't know what caused it (conflicting DLLs?), but it looks like we have a workaround - although certainly not a quick and easy one ;-)

Problems with iMovie 6.0.3 corrupting old projects?

Hi everyone
This is my first post, and I have a very big problem which I hope you can help me with.
In a nutshell, ever since installing iMovie 6.0.3 I have had some very strange problems with opening certain old projects. On opening a project I get the standard "this is an old project, do you want to convert" message, and then a number of things happen. Either iMovie opens with absolutely nothing in the Clips pane or the timeline (and this is in a project with several gigabytes of clips); or, a couple of random clips appear in the trash, but nothing else; and/or, I get a blank project which seems to be in NTSC format, whereas all my projects are in PAL.
All the original clips are there in the Media folder, but are not recognised if I try to import them (Error during import; Quicktime couldn't parse it: -199).
I have tried re-installing both iMovie 4 and 5, but no joy. So, I can't open the 'bad' projects in either the old iMovie formats or the new one. The wierd thing is that some (newer) projects do work.
Following some old threads here I have tried using Lennart's File Fixer - didn't help. Also tried moving the .mov file and opening project. Again, didn't help.
Sooo...any ideas? I am really desperate! The old files are there, it's just that nothing seems to be able to read them.
Thanks for your help.

Problem with full screen mode in player

hey,
I am having a problem with my Adobe Flash player in internet
explorer. I am using 2 screens on my computer and I am trying to
switch the player to play on the opposite screen when it goes into
full screen mode. It used to do this, but now I cant get it to play
on the right screen. If anyone has a solution to this I would
greatly appreciate it.

Make it into a Projector file then put it through FlashJester

It looks like the way forward is to delete any apps you are having problems with and reinstall hopefully you have your data on iCloud this seems to work

Looks like deleting and reinstalling the apps your having the problems with works in some cases

Hi Flash, Just some info to correct yours. First, not everyone is having a problem with FP 10.1 and there are solutions and reverting to FP 10.0 would not be the first choice. If that was for you, that's fine. If you would read the many many threads here, you would find correct information for users that want to revert back to FP10.
Also may I suggest you read up on Firefox version 3.6.6 as this is involved sometimes with FP 10.1.
Lastly, I think it is always better to find out what a user's issues are before offering a solution. Reverting back to FP 10.0 is not for everyone that is having a problem nor should it be.
If your instructions solved whatever problem you were having, that's great. However, to recommend this to other users that come here for help without knowing what their problems are may not be the best advice, in my opinion.
There are many other details in the Uninstall Instructions and also the Install Instructions that need to be followed.
That is why it is better for each user to have their own thread and receive help for their individual issues. This is also based on their computer system configuration.
Believe me, if there was one fix for all FP 10.1 or any other version issues, it would be posted
Thanks,
eidnolb

Problem with my Airport Extreme Base Station (old model)

I have two computers connecting to the internet with an old AEBS via ethernet. One is a Powerbook G4 and the other is a MacBook Pro. Since performing a software update this morning, the older machine stopped being able to connect to the base station wirelessly (the MacBook is fine though). The error message I receive is "There was an error joining Airport network". I am able to connect to other unsecured networks in the area so I don't think there is a problem with my Airport card.
I connected my Powerbook directly to the base station with an ethernet cable. While doing so I was able to access the internet and Airport Setup Utility but once unplugged I was still not able to connect wirelessly.
I have tried restarting the base station both via the utility and by unplugging it. I have also restarted my Powerbook multiple times.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, should have asked exactly how old your PowerBook is. Apparently the faster AirPort Extreme card didn't hit the market until early 2003. Find your PowerBook "Specifications" by clicking on that link above in the Apple website menu bar. Picking at random from the list, the 1GHz model released Nov 2002 didn't have an AirPort Extreme card, but only the AirPort card, which means the slower speed 802.11b wireless. The two PB models released in Jan 2003 both were AirPort Extreme models.
You'll be able to use the PB, just open AirPort Admin Utility and change your network "Mode:" selector (at the bottom of the panel) to "802.11b/g Compatible" from 802.11g Only.

Problem with updating/reinstalling latest itunes

I have tried numerous time to update my itunes to the lastest software as it is unable to reconise our updated ipods, but everytime i come to download it i will reach the final state until it comes up with " there is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. contacte your support personnel or package vendor." I have have uninstalled itunes as suggested but the same error continues to occur.

Repair your Apple software update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
START/CONTROL PANEL/Programs n Features/highlight ASU and click CHANGE then REPAIR,

Problems with Full restore using Time Capsule backup???

For some reason my MacBook Pro recently crapped out completely, and I am trying to do a complete restore of the OS via a full backup I made with using Time Machine onto my Time Capsule disk, but I am running into some problems doing so and I was hoping someone might have some insight as to how I should deal with things at this point...
Here's where things get messy...
- I insert my Mac OS X 10.5 Installation DVD into my Macbook and boot from the drive, and I immediately choose the menu option to 'Restore from Time Capsule Backup'...
- After logging into my Time Capsule and then choosing the proper .sparseimage file to restore from, I click 'continue' and it brings me to the screen where I choose where I want to restore to (which in my case, is the one and only internal HD inside my Macbook Pro)
- The bottom of this window tells me that it's "Calculating space required to restore data..." but it simply hangs at the point with a spinning wheel indicating its still doing the calculating, but never actually presents me with the space required, not does it allow me to click continue to perform the restore?? I've allowed it over an hour to calculate the space required and it still just spins its status wheel...
This is where I am stuck at this point, and I have no idea how to get it to proceed to the next step to allow me to perform the restore??
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I will have no choice but to do a complete reinstall (including all apps and data) if I can't get the backup restored... Thanks!

I had the same problem when installing a new HDD in my Macbook. The solution I found was to reinstall Leopard onto the new HDD from the install CD, then reboot off the install CD once I had done this. I was then able to choose the 'Restore from Time Capsule' option and get my HDD to show up in the window.
A word of warning, once you have reinstalled Leopard and it starts asking you for all you info, as if for the first time to set up your computer, there is an option at the end of that process to restore your data from a Time Capsule backup. While this did restore all my files and so forth, it did not update any of the 'Apple' apps, i.e. iTunes, iPhoto, Quicktime, or the operating system itself, suggesting a 500Mb download via 'Software Update' to update the system. It was faster for me to reboot of the install CD and restore via the process outlines above. That way you get all your system updates included.
Not sure if this is the 'approved' method but it worked for me! The restore process took about 75 minutes for about 100Gb of data from my external backup drive connected to my Macbook via a Firewire cable.
Hope this helps!

Having Problem with Full Screen Videos Appearing with 1" Vertical Borders

I have a MAC running on Leopard and a PC with Windows Vista
Home Basic and Explorer.
I cannot get YouTube to go full screen without the vertical
borders appearing.
I have the current version of Adobe.
I need help on both systems. My Java is enabled and I've
already checked and unchecked Enable Hardware Acceleration.
This is not a Window Box problem. Its happening on all
videos.
Thank you for your help.

This could a RAM case, as when the phone is doing something and RAM goes down, it starts to close certain apps. Personally if all you wanted was a name on txt msg alerts I would recommend iSMS or ThreadSMS. AFAIK both works on on non-touch phones (iSMS was originally for s60v3) and not only do they provide the senders name on the text alert, they also let you view your messages in conversation view (iphone style) and are free...XD

Problem with full screen flash background

I want to use a shockwave swf animation as a full screen
background for a captivate presentation.
If I use, 'rest of movie' to display this swf background,
then any objects I try to put on top get covered over by the
animation... ie. I can't see them.
If I add the swf to each slide seperately ('rest of slide' or
any other setting), I can then see my other objects, but the
presentation gets huge - it sees the same swf multiple times (once
for each slide), even if I copy and paste. I am referring to the
size of the final generated swf file, btw.
I'm using v.1.01.
Thanks in advance..

Every time I think I've heard it all with regard to new
problems and new ways to create them, I see something like your
post, roke2468.
I am not being even a little bit critical; in fact, I admire
your creativity in even thinking of using animation as your
background!!
But the fact of the matter is, I don't believe there is any
way around the problem you are describing. Animation files are
generally large and when added to Captivate, it takes no time at
all to make the Captivate files humongous. Captivate just isn't
currently designed to be used this way - without exactly the
problems you are seeing. Sorry.
Welcome aboard the Community, and if we can figure out a way
to do what you are attempting (without blowing file-sizes and
download times into the stratosphere), we'll sure share it (neat
idea).

Problem with Full Screen Caller App on my Nokia 67...

Hi, am having some trouble with the Full Screen Caller App, that I downloaded yesterday from the Ovi Store.... It seemed to work ok, but is inconsistent - when texts come through, some say who the text is from (& the image associated with that contact), but too often, it reverts back to the phones way (Nokia 6700 slide) & just says 1 new message.... Also, when I call someone, sometimes the FS Caller comes into action, other times, it doesn`t.
I mainly bought this app for the incoming text solution, as my 6700 slide does not state who the text is from (unlike my old 6700 classic)....... My settings all seem to be ok, but I could still be doing something wrong..... Would it help to re-download the app?
Any advice would be very much appreciated...... Im starting to think that maybe I shouldn`t have bought it
Many thanks...
