Problems when trying to do a clean OS X install

I have some problems when I'm trying to do a clean install of my 15" MBP. I'm using the Install DVD that came with the computer, but it seems like it won't read it. I find it very weird since it has no problems with reading audio CD's, and even the Snow Leopard upgrade DVD works just fine. But when I'm holding down the option key as the computer boots up, the Install DVD is not listed as a bootable device, and if I do nothing at the boot up I can hear the drive spinning and then stopping, and it happens continuously until I restart the computer and force ejects the DVD.
Can anybody tell me if I'm doing something wrong or my MBP has a malfunction?
Thanks in advance!

The slow reading in boot DVD's/CD's is usual, here I performed more then 5 installations using the same DVD and in more then one occasion this symptom was presented. Be patient.
I agree with KXsig that the boot off the installation DVD is abnormally long, each and every time. I find sometimes it can take upwards of 3 minutes to go from the Apple logo to the language selection screen. However, the machine should acknowledge the disc and begin booting to it (Apple logo with spinning gear) within a few seconds. If it's getting hung up on a solid gray screen or if you're at the EFI boot drive selection menu it should acknowledge the disc almost immediately.
If all other media is fine, then I suspect the issue would be with the disc versus the optical drive.

I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture. It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button. even though when i hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top

I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture.
It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button.
even though when i hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top on the back and the home button is on the bottom on the front.
This problem is irritating me....?

To take panorama
- ensure that the panorama option is on
- press the shutter button once
- you will see a line with an arrow
- move around in a circle ( I keep the camera steady and turn myself around in a circle)
- as you do this you will see the arrow moving across the screen as it captures pictures
- at the end of the capture, you will be able to see your panorama picture
I hope that this helps, do report back.

Hey tyjox,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to deactivate Find My iPhone on a device that does not work. You will need to work with the family member of the account the iPhone is registered with. I would recommend that you use this article to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
Remove an iOS device you no longer have
If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, then select the device.
Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased and someone else can now activate the device.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
- If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
- If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.

When trying to uninstall iTune (because the current install has problems), I get the error message 2324. What should I do to reinstall the application?

When trying to uninstall iTune (because the current install has problems; iTune error message states it cannot sync and that I should reinstall the application; also, it fails when I tried to upgrade to the latest release), I get the error message 2324. What should I do to reinstall the application?

That installer error is a "Can't open file" error
It suggest that you may have a corrupt file.
Try running a disk check
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
If it fixes errors try uninstalling iTunes again.
If that doesn't work, is it possible for find out the name of the problem file, is further information available? Try looking in your Action center - that's on the control panel. Another place is in the Windows Error logs. From the start menu , right click on "Computer" and select manage, then Event viewer.
If nothing emerges, try a manual uninstall of iTunes and related programs according to this method:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Don't worry if an uninstall fails, that is expected. Go on to the part where you have to delete files (2. Verify iTunes etc completely deleted) . Hopefully you manage to find a file that can't be deleted, that is the one we will need to deal with.

Hi There, I have a problem when trying to print either Email or from a web page.

Hi There,
I have a problem when trying to print contents fro either Email's or from web pages, the problem started after i opened Google earth and it down loaded Google Chrome i do not like Google chrome so i removed it from my pc via add and remove programmes since then when i try to print an email i get what looks like the computer settings for writing the email and not the text same for web pages, as anyone come across this problem before i can print any word or spreadsheet documents but problem is with email's and web pages.
Many Thanks.

Something changed on your system, possibly when Google Chrome installed. It could be many things, but what it boils down to, is it needs to go back to the way it was. Either by removing whatever else might still be left from the install, or maybe by reinstalling the printer itself.

GenericServiceFactory initialization problem when trying to load Web servic

Hi,
I am making a Guided procedure that calls a webservice. I have created a new Destination Template and was able to load the webservice definition successfully, but when I test the callable object I created for that same webservice y get the error:
GenericServiceFactory initialization problem when trying to load Web service model for WSDL.
Somehow I think there is something wrong with the user authentication. The Destination template has a user and password but somehow I think the callable object test is not using this information at all.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Hans,
Have you verified if you can call any external web service calls from your J2EE engine? Go into the SOA Management / Global settings (if you are on CE - if you're on 7.0 it's in manage WS desintations).
Look at your proxy settings and set them like your web browser that enables external calls. For example, in the SAP network I set my global proxy settings on my local J2EE engine to be:
Proxy host: proxy
Proxy port: 8080
Exclude list: *.sap.corp
Does that make sense - have you verified if your settings are correct for your company?

Problems when trying to migrate from 6.0 to 6i

Hi,
I'm having problems when trying to migrate a Designer 6.0 application to 6i.
When I get to start the migration after having selected the source application, the process fails immediately after I've pressed the button.
I'm getting the error: CDR-21244: This process has been aborted and the advice to check the log file. But no log file is created.
I've read Note 234984.1 which gives two suggestions in this situation: That the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is unset, and that the LOG_DIRECTORY_RAU directory is writeable. Both is fulfilled in my situation. However it seems that the migration procedure tries to start imp - I've noticed a short flash with the command prompt screen - and when I try to start imp manually from the command prompt I get errors. I was able to fix this error by setting ORACLE_HOME and ORA_NLS33. But the defining ORACLE_HOME is "illegal" ref. Note 234984.1. Of course I tried to leave it anyway, but that didn't help neither: The migration still dies a quick and silent dead.
So now I'm stucked. How can I carry on?
The source is on version 6.0.3.5.0 running on 8.1.5, and the taget is version 6.5.92.1.9 running on 8.1.7.4.
Regards, Michael

The migration from Designer 6.0 to 6i requires careful planning. Please read the migration guide on OTN (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/designer/index.html) for advice and to assist you with the migration.

On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"

The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video. Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash.

Problem when trying to run MD04

I am experiencing problems when trying to run my MD04 Collective access, for vendor say X & Y.
I buy many products from these vendors and I therefore need to have access to place these orders anytime of the day (as it can take more than one hour to raise the orders) and it is only allowing me access last thing in the day for some strange reason.
Please can you look into this - I'm not sure if there is a server issue due to the size of the job, but I must have the ability to undertake this task.
I tried to limit the selection further but still the problem is not getting solved.
please tell me what else can be done?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sonal.

Basically when i am trying to do collective access thru MD04 I am putting plant and vendor.
the sys is not displaying the stock reqmt list but is getting time out.
I tried limiting further by putting delivery dates, MRP controller but still it is not working.
What else can be done?
Thanks & Regards,
Sonal

Problem when trying to place a post wrt BSP

Colleagues,
for a few days i am encountering problems when trying to place a post regarding BSP issue. I am not sure if this is just an IE settings problem or sth on the SDN forum side.
Another option is to check for customized corporate settings of the current project owner.
Any cool ideas are warmly welcomed.
Cheers, Harry
OK, this has been working fine. So what is the problem on the BSP forum? SAP buddies, please assist!
Many THX in advance!

Your launch services database, which stores information about which applications should open certain documents, may need to be repaired. Open the Terminal application found in /Applications/Utilities and paste in this command (all one line):
System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/La unchServices.framework/Versions/Current/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain system -domain local -domain user
Hit the return key, log out and log in.
Hope this helps! bill
