I remember reading a post not too long ago that the person receive the wrong CD on a refurbished machine. I believe the machine was a Mac Mini. I can't find the post now.
The person took the machine to an Apple Store and they reinstalled the OS on it.

Problem with installation of Win XP on Mac mini

Hi ! I'm trying to install Windows on my Mac mini for the few programs I can't use on mac. When I restart with bootcamp installation assistant, nothing happens. The blue LED is lit, showing that the computer is on, but the screen doesn't recognize any signal and stays black. For info, it's plugged using Apple's mini DVI to VGA adapter. I don't know how to get this installation to work...

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the thunderbolt port on their Mac Mini's regarding using it to connect a second monitor? I've got the Mini Display Port to DVI-D adapter along with a DVI-D cable and I can't get an image on the second monitor.

I had an dual display image / setup working twice for a few seconds, but then it cut out. I think there may be a problem with the thunderbolt port.

As far as I can tell you have only listed that you have a DVI monitor connected to the Mini Displayport socket (i.e. the Thunderbolt socket) via presumably the Apple Mini Displayport to DVI adapter and a DVI to DVI cable.
You don't appear to have listed what the second monitor is and how it is connected (even though not working). As such I cannot tell what may be wrong.

Problem with installing Elements - from noob

I have problems with installing Elements, it gives my an unknown mistake - I already have CS4 up and running, could this be the case?

Chances are not very good that pse 4 will run on os x 10 6.8 unless you were upgrading from an earlier mac version that already had pse 4 installed.

Good to hear someone has had success. The lack of it here is frustrating and depressing.

Problems with installing new programs

Dear all,
since the update to OS X Yosemite, I have some problems with installing new programs.
I tried to install the Fitbit App to connect my Fitbit to my Mac but the program can't be started after installation. I have the same problem with Blackberry Blend, too. I am able to install it but it doesn't start running.
Does anybody have an idea what's the problem?
Thank You,
Lisa.

Did you receive any errors during the installation itself or does this happen when you try to open Photoshop?

Problem with installing and uninstalling applicati...

hi all,
I have a problem with installing or uninstalling apps on 808. When i try to install an application through Nokia suite or when trying to run the application file from the phone's memory the screen freezes and becomes unresponsive but the 3 phone buttons work just fine. I have to shut down the phone and the screen becomes responsive again. Anything available to help me wiith this situations as I cannot use any of the apps I have. Any help much appreciated.
Regards
Alex

You are not alone. Im also having the same issue because we do alot of install and uninstall apps. This is the bad point of symbian. But I tired to install the latest FP2 it will be slightly abit smoother now. So you have the latest version now but did you tired to restore any backup yet? It might be the setting on when you restore that affect it. The feezing should be shorten on FP2 but it will still remain there depending on the type of apps from what I experience.
I hope they will provide multiple function to uninstall apps since it will go through a long process to uninstall apps 1 by 1.
Reason is because some apps will go through process like preparing install, process install, finalising install which take away your control for that few seconds or a minute instead runnning in background mode. Its not convenient to uninstall more apps.

Problem with installing iTunes

So these are my problems with installing iTunes.
At first it was :
A required iTunes component is not installed.Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-45019)
Then it got worse as it would not even open and these would appear:
The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
and this would appear:
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
Error 7 (Windows error 126)
I reinstalled maybe about 5 times or more...
If I thought I solved the above problem, this would appear:
iTunesHelper.exe is not installed on my computer.
I seen other people comment that you should unistall and restart the computer and install the setup again, but it does not work..
And others would say to repair the AAS or iTunes etc..
And after trying all these it does not work???
What else works?

I also tried repairing the Microsoft NET.

Problem with Installing Nokia Ovi Store in E51

I am having problem with installing nokia Ovi store in my E51. Whenever I try to download Ovi store from my E51, it shows a error message that the component is built in and cannot be installed. I dont know wat to do now. Can anyone please give me some advice. Thanks in advance.

Hi there!
This means that the Ovi Store is currently installed in your E52 phone, what I can suggest is try checking under Application Manager > Installed Application, check if the Ovi Store is there. If you can't see it, try to perform the soft reset (press *#7780# on the main screen of the phone and it will prompt you restore all original phone settings? phone will restart. Press YES and it will ask you for the lock code 12345.) If anything else please reply to this message.
Hope tis' Help!

Hi Sinisa,
It almost sounds like this bug;
CSCtn81201
Incorrect "Hardware Configuration Error" due to hardware setup errors
Symptom:
Refresh upgrade stops with IMM device detection, and then server being reported as unsupported
Conditions:
in-band USB interface was disabled, which is configurable via IBM system X or IMM (browser) interfaces.
Workaround:
change the in-band usb interface settings to enabled.

Severe problem with installing and starting Audio-DVD Pla

Hi,
after installing the new drivers (SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe) for my Audigy2ZS in XP SP3 i had np mic boost and the mixer did not show the mic as an selectable source. So i rolled back to my old drivers and after that i have problems with installing and starting the Audio DVD Player. I tried so far: uninstalling everything like its said solution ID 72, checking HD for corrupted files and i did a repair installation of XP. Nothing helped. When i only install the drivers and the DVD Audio Player from the original CD everything is fine until the reboot adter installation. When the OS tries to start the "chkcolor.exe" the PC instantly reboots. When preventing XP from doing so, there is no reboot, but as soon i want to start the DVD Audio Player a reboot occurs again. When i try to uninstall the DVD Audio Player before unstillaing the drivers, the is also a reboot. First uninstalling the drivers and then the DVD Audio Player, there is no reboot.
Any ideas?
Best regards and thank in advance,

I am waiting for the senior advisor to get back to me on this issue.
