PSE10 not visible in my "Installed" Programs - W7

My licensed PSE10 is not visible in my Win7 Control Panel - "Programs and Features" - yet my PSE10 runs well
I tried to uninstall it with the installer program - but it quit and gave an error asking me to attempt it again
how do we repair an installation if we canot uninstall it, and there is no 'repair' feature to choose?

when I try to uninstall from the setup.exe file - it gives me an error -
Error 2343. Specified Path is empty
with an "OK" to click
Then it tells me the Installer was interrupted and try try again

Users with Administrator rights not being allowed to install programs.

I have 3 users in my office that are not able to download and install programs due to a security prompt that says that they are unable to install the program due to not having administrator rights. But in the users menu the user accounts are setup with
full administrator rights. Is this a common problem?

Hi,
Are they domain administrator or local administrator? Is there any group policy restriction?

FTPS file adapter setup fields not visible after SP13 install

After installation of SP13, I was looking for file adapter FTPS setup (fields described in SP13 release notes). I could not see any. It's just like the old adapter.
Java cryptolib is installed, and we checked it is there.
we recycled the whole thing.
Any idea what could be missing ?

Solved. We had applied SP12 file.
Note that this originates from the SP stack download tool.
We had followed the generic download process and it did not contain the SP13 tpz file.
I tried again this morning, when selecting source sp11 target sp13, The selection of packages selects
SAPBASIS12_0-10002900.zip... and not the SP13 one.
Watch out if you move two SP up !
Detailed solution :
Downloaded the SP13 zip file. the following way.
service.sap.com download/entry by app grp/sap content
process integration (XI content)/ XI_CONTENT_SAP_BASIS/ XI_CONTENT_SAP_BASIS_6.40/DB independant/ selected sp13 from the list
Unzipped, and put the tpz file in the import directory
of the repository. file name is XI3_0_SAP_BASIS_6.40_13_02.tpz
Imported it
And it works now
Thanks a lot for your help.

Photosmart 7760 drivers not visible after manual install, blocking network access

Hello --
I have an HP Photosmart 7760 installed and working on a Mac Mini connected to a wired ethernet LAN. The printer has been configured to be shared by the Mac and I am able to print to it from other Macs. However, I am unable to install this shared network printer on Windows XP despite being otherwise able to connect to the Mac Mini from the XP machine.
When going through the Add Printer wizard on XP, I am able to browse to and see the printer on the Mini. After double-clicking the printer, I get:
You are about to connect to a printer on MINI, which will automatically install a print driver on your machine. Printer drivers may contain viruses or scripts that can be harmful to your computer. It is important to be certain that the computer sharing this printer is trustworthy. Would you like to continue?
I click Yes and then get:
The server for the printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator or original equipment manufacturer for the correct printer driver.
I then click OK and browse through the list of printer manufacturers to HP, but don't see any Photosmart printers in the printer list (lots of Deskjets, Paintjets, Officejets, etc).
I have downloaded and installed the XP drivers by hand, (HP Photosmart Printer Software and Driver version 5.3 from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=305375.) However, I still am not able to see the appropriate driver
My questions:
1. Is there an alternate way to install these drivers (e.g. via the Have Disk button) such that they will appear in the above printer list?
2. If not, is there an alternate printer I can use that will work from XP with a network-attached 7760?
3. Barring the above, are there any other things anyone can recommend I try in order to resolve this?
Thanks!
Regard,
Ramon

Hello thecousin,
you have tried a lot of things and if you are sure that the problem is not hardware (sometimes even when the lights are blinking there might be a problem with the hardware itself) i recommend you to do the following:
1. Try to reinstall the network driver (download new/latest one from Lenovo.com) and see if this could help.
2. Try to think of any software you have installed prior to the problems... some software might be affecting your network settings/connections
3. Sometimes i have seen problems with the windows "services" so you might have a look there (it is in the control panel/administrative tools/services) and see what is started and what isn't
4. Well the last one would be to reinstall the OS
Good Luck

External hard drive not visible, following Mavericks install

I mac user for 2 years, have a Lacie 2big Thunderbolt external hard drive for my photo catalogue.
Always connected but with the old operating system had to manually switch on and off with blue light button. fine.
Upgraded to Maverick over the weekend, not the lacie drive switches on as soon as the mac powers up, blue light and noise from the drive.
If I have shutdown the mac then when the start up occurs the lacie drive is seen and present in finder, fully functional.
If the mac is switched on from sleep mode the lacie starts up noise and blue light showing, but it is not seen in finder or the disc utility programme.
I then have to switch the drive off, (which it does not like, forced shutdown) and restart manually, then it is seen and works fully,
Have switched off, unplugged, switched thunderbolt ports but no success.
Is there a simple cure for this, setting in sleep mode etc...
Regards Neil

I would start by doing a SMC reset, could take 2-3 attempts. If those do not work then restart in Safe Mode and check and if that does not work try different cables.
SMC reset: Shut down computer remove power cord from computer and wall for 15-20 seconds and restart normally.
Safe Mode: Shut down computer and restart, when you hear the startup tone hold down the Shift key until a progress bar appears. Then restart normally

HDD not visible after SSD install

I installed a Crucial M4 SSD into my late model 2011 macbook pro. I originally had intended on it living in the optical drive bay until I read the numerous threads about how the SSD can't be used to it's full potential in that place. So, I swapped the HDD into the optical drive bay and placed the SSD in the old HDD bay. When I booted this am, it booted fast into the SSD, but now I can't see the HDD in disk utility or on an 'option' startup. Any help appreciated! Hope Kappy is out there today!
I hear the fans running, so I'm assuming it's trying to spin the HDD perhaps?
Thanks,
Jarrod

nevermind I got it! connecter had come loose. boy i feel silly :-/

Time Capsule internal hard drive not visible

I have one of the older 500GB TC. It worked fine for a year then I decided to wipe the hard drive to erase the contents. I stopped the process in the middle of clearing the hard drive because it was going on about 8 hours. Every since then the TC works fine as a wireless router, but the internal hard drive is not visible. It won't do any back ups and it's not visible in the Airport program.
Any suggestions?

IMac G5 17" is DOA... drive not visible in Disk Utility

About a week after my computer went out of warranty (OS 10.3.9), I have been experiencing random complete system meltdowns every 5 or 6 months. It begins while using the search feature, the beachball spins for 8-10 minutes then pulls search results. Following that, the system stalls on every task, and restarts with the blinking "?" folder. In the past, a re-install of the OS was a frustrating, but simple solution.
Last Friday, this happened for the fourth and final time. Upon attempting to re-install the OS, the install froze, locking up the computer. When I restarted to try to re-install the OS, the drive was not visible in the Disk Utility. It isn't visible in any Mac utility that I have tried, nor Disk Warrior.
I just replaced the SeaGate 7200 hard drive with a refurbed one, and the problem continutes--the drive is not visible to the install.
Is this 2-year old Mac now a paperweight? With the market resale value of this machine only about $500-600, I can't stomach spending a third of that to have something repaired, for all of this to potentially happen again.
Is it terminal? Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm really bummed out. As a Mac user for the last 15 years, I can't bear the thought of spending another 2 grand on a computer that will let me down again. I'm tired of the Pee Cee world hazing me as it is, and episodes like this don't make it any easier. Someone please tell me there is a solution...

It DID break down a week after I received a call from Apple asking me to purchase an extended warranty. I wouldn't make that up.
It's on 10.3.9 because, in typical Apple fashion, 10.4 came out a WEEK after I bought my computer. I never bought the upgrade software from Apple just out of anger that a new computer was shipped with obsolete OS installed when a new version was hitting the shelves so soon afterwards. I work on 10.4.10 here at the office, and never missed the "features" at home. For $179, it wasn't something that ever screamed to be a necessity for a home computer.
The drive wasn't necessarily refurbed, but it was "recycled" and bought cheap to find out if it could be a simple solution. For $35, it was an easy attempt to figure out what was wrong with the computer. It didn't solve the problem, and was much cheaper than throwing money at it without knowing what was wrong.
At this point, I'm trying to save this box from becoming landfill. I bought a Dell PC laptop this past weekend for a third of what I paid for this iMac, and when it breaks down or obsoletes itself in 2 years, it won't be so difficult to swallow getting rid of it for something new.
I'm going to open this up again this afternoon to check the test LEDs and see if I can spot anything.
Don't get me wrong, I love Macs, and always will, but I can't any longer justify spending $2000 on a home computer. They are disposable appliances, and if they aren't going to come from the factory with warranties long enough to last through their lifetime, then it's difficult to spend that much money on a computer than only needs MORE money spent to maintain functionality.
I'll post back with my findings later today after I crack this open. Thanks for the assistance so far.

Publising front panels of not visible subvis on the web

High
my main program has tab object with 10 pages. Within the main program there are several subvis whose front panels i want to publish on the web.
The front panels of these subvis are not visible in the main program. Front panels of some subvis are displayed correctly in browser (IE, Firefox) but some not.
Fields of the object are empty or their fields are not refresh with new data (att. pict " array indicators").
The problem is worse if not visible subvi contains chart object. In the browser window data are moved out of the chart window (att. pict. "chart within...").
For monitoring front panels of the subvis i use MONITOR mode of the LabVIEW web server.
Any idea, hints or simple example is welcome.
Thanks and regards
Trajan

The method clone() from the type Object is not visible

Hi,
This is my 1st post here for a few years, i have just returned to java.
I am working through a java gaming book, and the "The method clone() from the type Object is not visible" appears, preventing the program from running. I understand "clone" as making a new copy of an object, allowing multiple different copies to be made.
The error occurs here
public Object clone() {
        // use reflection to create the correct subclass
        Constructor constructor = getClass().getConstructors()[0];

}Any advice? Is it "protected"? Is the code out-of-date?
thankyou,

Any advice? Is it "protected"? Is the code out-of-date?Welcome to the wonderful world of Cloneable. In answer to your first question: Object's clone() method is protected.
A quote from Josh Bloch's "Effective Java" (Item 10):
"A class that implements Cloneable is expected to provide a properly functioning public clone() method. It is not, in general, possible to do so unless +all+ of the class's superclasses provide a well-behaved clone implementation, whether public or protected."
One way to check that would be to see if super.clone() works. Their method uses reflection to try and construct a valid Creature, but it relies on Animation's clone() method, which itself may be faulty. Bloch suggests the following pattern:public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
   ThisClass copy = (ThisClass) super.clone();
   // do any additional initialization required...
   return copy
if that doesn't work, you +may+ be out of luck.
Another thing to note is that Object's clone() method returns a +shallow+ copy of the original object. If it contains any data structures (eg, Collections or arrays) that point to other objects, you may find that your cloned object is now sharing those with the original.
Good luck.

Cant install programs from web

i recently install stuffit expander to open an application, once i had done this i then deleted stuffit expander and since cannot install downloaded applications and programs.
it usually comes up with please select an application to use to open the program, when all i want to do is install it. im thinking i have deleted something important when i deleted stuffit, how can i install programs again?
i have tried allowing disk permissions in the start up, but to no avail, it is has not helped me to install programs again.
many thanks

To Apple Discussions!
Redownload Stuffit Expander & keep it. Repair permissions & restart after the installation.
Go to Stuffit's Preferences & select all the suffixes that you want Stuffit to open.
The next time you get the +"please select an application to use to open the program"+ message, select Stuffit Expander.
Some programs are stuffed downloads & need to be unstuffed before you can install.

MS Project 2013 Trial Download not visible in installed programs and thus can't open

I've consulted other posts however answer is not listed. I have followed the instructions to download the file. I've downloaded the 64-bit file and selected Open application on download however nothing happens. I've gone to my Control Panel
and Project 2013 is NOT listed. I've searched for Project 2013 in the start up menu to no avail.
Can anyone advise how I can get the software installed on my laptop? The fact it states the application has downloaded but it's not visible as a downloaded file is driving me crazy.
Please help
Marisa

Hello Marisa,
When you download the trial, it downloads the image file by name ProjectProfessional_x64_en-us.img
Do you see this file under your download folder? If yes, then you have downloaded the trial software successfully.
As a next step, you need to extract .img into a directory using any tools that unzip the .img format (e.g., 7-zip
http://www.7-zip.org/ ) and then install from it by running setup.exe.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Kiran K

Programs installed but not visible in application folder

I am having a strange problem. Only a few of my programs are showing up in the application folder. If I search for the programs using the finder window they are there and the path at the bottom of the finder window shows they are in applications, and can be used but they just are not visible in the application folder (root folder).
Any suggestions how I can make these programs visible.
Thanks

Try this as a start:
Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Do both items. Sometimes simply setting the Finder to show invisible files then turning off the option will make those invisible applications reappear. Sometimes it doesn't work. In that case you can try the following:
1. Enable the Finder to display invisible files. Leave the Terminal active.
2. Enter the following command line in the Terminal
sudo chflags -R nohidden
Put a space after "nohidden", select all the invisible applications you could not see and drag the selection into the Terminal window. Press RETURN. You will be prompted for your admin password. Enter it. It will not be echoed. Press RETURN.
3. Disable the Finder's display of invisible files.

Hard Drive not visible during install.

I recently tried to turn on my G4 and got just a white screen. So I assumed it was the hard drive. I installed a new Hard drive. Put in my Leopard disk and the drive is not visible. I went into Disk Utility to format it, if needed. It was not visible there either.
Out of suspicion, I plugged in the old HD into a different mac via USB and my data is there and visible.
What could the problem be? I went back and double checked all of the cables.

I know it's a pain to take out just to test, however, did you plug the new drive into the other system via USB to see if it's recognized also?
Usually in this situation, it's a cable problem. Either a cable is not seated completely, or in rarer cases, there's a problem with a cable itself. Since the old drive is visible to the other system, you may have another issue going on, like a logic board problem. I'd want to run the Apple hardware test. On the gray OS X system CDs that came with your system, find the one that says 'AHT Version x.x', insert it, reboot, and choose the extended test when prompted. Either of the TechTool programs can do similar testing.
By the way, your sig says you have Snow Leopard 10.6.3 installed, which is impossible on a Powerbook. Leopard 10.5.8 is the last operating system release available today for Powerbooks.
