RAW Camera Update 3.1 crashed and destroyed disk

I installed RAW Camera Update 3.1 on my MacBook Pro. (I had previously installed it successfully on another computer.) After going through the usual installation screens, an alert reported that the installation had failed and I should try installing again. I decided to restart the computer first so that I would have a clean boot to work with. On restart, a progress indicator appeared while the Apple icon was showing in the center of the screen; then the progress indicator restarted; then the computer shut down. This now happens every time I try to boot from the internal startup disk.
So I restarted from a 10.6.2 external startup disk. An alert reported that the internal startup disk was invalid, that I can still copy files from it but cannot save files to it, and that I should reformat the disk and reinstall everything. Typically, for me, this is a task that takes about a week, and I would like to avoid having to do it.
Is there any other solution? What happened?

Disk Utility and TechTool Pro could not fix the startup disk, but Disk Warrior saved the day!

Solving the iTunes Installation Problems in Windows
1. Apple has posted their solution here: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows- Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue.
2. If the Apple article does not fully resolve the problem for you, then try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - MSVCR80.

After the update iTunes keeps crashing and won't play any of my music and keeps restarting my phone.

Anyone else have this problem and resolved it?
Thank you!

Well, I hadn't rebooted after the 7.1.1 upgrade, but obviously I had to restart iTunes. After I rebooted my iBook iTunes worked... Maybe the 7.1.1 update should be marked with a must reboot?

Can't install RAW Camera update 2.3

This post is actually on behalf of my brother. He has a 2007 MacBook, running 10.4.11 and has tried, unsuccessfully to install the Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 2.3
The installer runs, asks to restart, he complies, however can still not open the RAW images off of his Canon 50D. Here's the error Preview presents, after attempting to install the plug-in, then trying to open a RAW image:
However, the problem is not just with Preview, of course. Since the "update" should usher in system-wide RAW compatibility, but doesn't, neither Aperture 2.1.4, nor iPhoto 6 recognize the pics either.
I tried to determine exactly what is supposed to be getting updated here. (By the way, I'm running this same "RAW Update" successfully on my Mac Pro, running 10.5.8. And we've both got 50D's.) Anyway, on my machine, I navigated to:
+Mac HD > System > Library > Core Services+ and found this plug-in:
Great! 2.3.0 However, on my brother's machine, even after a "successful" install of this RAW update, his plugin only reports the version as 2.0.11 - obviously it's not really installing properly. Oddly enough too, I packaged my plug-in and moved it to his machine, put it in the right folder, rebooted and still no luck with my 2.3.0 version of the plug-in. So I'm not sure what else to try.
Any ideas here? We also tried installing Digital Camera RAW Support Update 1.0.1 (Universal). I was thinking maybe this Support Update needed to be installed before the plug-in could work. However, attempting to install this item resulted in him being told that it was unnecessary. That he was already up to date. So, I don't know what else to try.
He just bought Snow Leopard. But he's going to wait to install it for a month or so - when I'm home to help him with it all. Either way, a complete OS upgrade is supreme overkill when we're just trying to get a plug-in to work. I'd love to find a way to get this all working properly, in the meantime.
Thanks for any ideas!

We might try this because it's relatively quick & easy.
Otherwise, the only other idea I have is to do an Archive & Install of the OS and then reinstall updates.
I don't think we'll go this route. He has Snow Leopard, ready & waiting. If we're going to (re)install an OS then I'd just as soon "come clean" to the new world, as opposed to spending all the time to stay where we are—considering that we could go that far and still, potentially, end up right where we are now: dead in the water.
Thanks for your time and input here!

IOS7 update caused iTunes crash and left phone at loading screen.

I had originally attempted to update via the on phone option, but when that failed I went to itunes. All was going well ntil it came time to install the software on the phone. iTunes promptly crashed, and my phone is stuck on a black screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar. Any help would be appreciated.

Fcopertini, at my visit with the apple store somehow the guy took my phone and got it to enter in the "restore mode" and be recognized right away by using the method mentioned here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808... (I tried this like 5 times to no avail) not sure what he did.
But when I got home I still was unable to get my phone to be connected to my computer. I did a little bit more research and tried 3 more things, and was able to finally get my phone recognized and restored. (my iTunes was the newest version becuase I could not download iOS 7 without it)
1. I stopped and restarted the Apple Mobile Device service. (I figured that after removing and installing itunes completely twice would do that already but who knows)
2. I removed the Apple mobile device USB driver (found in device manager under Universal serial bus controlers) again and then connected my phone to the computer to allow it to find the driver for me. (I had already done that before but maybe in combination with restarting the service it helped)
3. I removed my phone from the mophie case (it has a battery pack on it and makes the 30 pin connector to mini usb) Though I do not think this was the problem becuase I have connected it to my computer before multiple times and even after I did the restore I tried with the case on and it worked.
But all in all so I guess the firs two might have helped my computer see the phone again, and if that works then try following the links instructions about the recovery mode.
The guy at the apple store pretty much followed the instructions exaclty, except on #1, he just left the phone plugged into the computer and then tried the reset thing. It then recognized it was in recovery mode and hit restore for me.
I think I would have been able to do it if I had been able to get my computer to recognize my phone before hand. Sorry this is long but maybe it will help.

Camera video preview - Random crashes and green screens

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a Windows Phone 8.1 app and I need to preview video from the phone's back camera. For quite some time I've been struggling with random crashes and green screens. When these green screens appear, all camera apps become affected and
the device needs to be restarted. Occasionally the phone freezes and only recovers after battery removal. I test the app on my Lumia 620.
After some web search, I found references to the same problem by many users/developers of different apps. I'm really frustrated as I've tried many possible solutions with no avail.
Here is part of my code:
//in App.xaml.cs:
MediaCaptureInitializationSettings settings;
public static MediaCapture captureMgr;
public static bool UnableToInitializeCamera = false;
public async Task InitializeVideoCapture()
DeviceInformation backWebcam = await GetCameraDeviceInfoAsync(Windows.Devices.Enumeration.Panel.Back);
if(captureMgr!=null) captureMgr.Dispose();
captureMgr = new MediaCapture();
settings = new MediaCaptureInitializationSettings();
settings.StreamingCaptureMode = StreamingCaptureMode.Video;
settings.PhotoCaptureSource = PhotoCaptureSource.VideoPreview;
settings.AudioDeviceId = "";
if (backWebcam != null)
settings.VideoDeviceId = backWebcam.Id;
else
var _messageDialog = new MessageDialog("Back panel camera not found");
_messageDialog.Commands.Add(new UICommand("OK"));
_messageDialog.ShowAsync();
try
await captureMgr.InitializeAsync(settings);
captureMgr.SetPreviewRotation(VideoRotation.Clockwise90Degrees);
UnableToInitializeCamera = false;
catch
UnableToInitializeCamera = true;
Debug.WriteLine("HANDLED EXCEPTION: camera could not be initialized");
var _messageDialog = new MessageDialog("Unable to initialize camera");
_messageDialog.Commands.Add(new UICommand("OK"));
_messageDialog.ShowAsync();
protected override async void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs e)
//.... other app initialization code
await InitializeVideoCapture();
Window.Current.Activate();
private async void OnResuming(object sender, object e)
AppIsResuming = true;
FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5));//this makes crashes less frequent
await InitializeVideoCapture();
FinishedCameraInitialize = true;
if(WasPreviewingCamera)
WasPreviewingCamera = false; //the following line allows time for SetupPage._captureElement to be assigned before video preview starts while (!SetupPage.CaptureElementSourceAssigned) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));
SetupPage.CaptureElementSourceAssigned = false;
try
Debug.WriteLine("trying to restart video preview");
await captureMgr.StartPreviewAsync();
SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = true;
catch
Debug.WriteLine("HANDLED EXCEPTION: unable to start previewing");
SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = false;
GC.Collect();
AppIsResuming = false;
private async void OnSuspending(object sender, SuspendingEventArgs e)
var deferral = e.SuspendingOperation.GetDeferral();
while (AppIsResuming) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));//prevents crash when app is suspended right after it is resumed
await CleanupCaptureResources();
TimeOfLastSuspend = DateTime.Now;
FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
GC.Collect();
deferral.Complete();
public async Task CleanupCaptureResources()
if (SetupPage.PreviewingCamera)
await captureMgr.StopPreviewAsync();
WasPreviewingCamera = true;
SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = false;
else WasPreviewingCamera = false;
if (captureMgr != null) captureMgr.Dispose();
//in SetupPage.xaml.cs
void OnSuspending(object sender, Windows.ApplicationModel.SuspendingEventArgs e)
var deferral = e.SuspendingOperation.GetDeferral();
_captureElement.Source = null;
CaptureElementSourceAssigned = false;
GC.Collect();
deferral.Complete();
private async void OnResuming(object sender, object e)
ProgressRing2.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
ProgressRing2.IsActive = true;
while (!App.FinishedCameraInitialize) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));
App.FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
captureElement.Source = App.captureMgr;
CaptureElementSourceAssigned = true;
GC.Collect();
ProgressRing2.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
ProgressRing2.IsActive = false;
Any help towards a solution will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I will also advice that you start by following the
Windows Store app sample.
Is this a Windows Phone app?
The crash/green screen only manifests itself when I suspend my app and switch to the default camera app (could be any other camera app perhaps). It happens roughly 1 out of 8 times. That's why I posted the suspension and resuming handlers, which I wrote
according to the msdn instructions.
I found
this page with a sample that demonstrates the MediaCapture API for Windows Phone. Some developers have reported problems similar as mine. Has Microsoft dealt with this issue?
I've spent quite a few weeks trying to investigate this problem, without actually knowing if it is my code that needs to be debugged. That's why I'm asking if other developers are facing similar problems.
Thank you
Edit: It seems that the crash/green screen can appear when suspending/switching to any app (regardless if it uses the camera or not). Also, all works fine when the app is running on the debugger.

IPhone crashed during iOS5 update. iTunes crashed and cant open or uninstall. Please help

iPhone 4 crashed and dumped everything while trying to update to iOS5. Now iTunes won't open so I tried to run Apple Software Update... gets half way through the install and then i get an error... cant find fold containing the installation package 'AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi'.
I'm at a loss and need help getting iTunes back up and running so I can restore my iPhone.
Regards,

I am too trying to update my phone. i wish i hadnt now as its more hassle than its worth!
I have been trying for 2 hours and on hold to Apple to try and get my iPhone 4 to restore. I did back up before I installed it but whether it picks that one up is another question.
I have had the same problem before when i got a replacement phone from Apple and it took an hour or so to work.
I wish it would get sorted out as im an angry customer that is losing her patience fast!

RAW Camera updates for CS3

HI Folks,
I'm using the CS3 Web Premium suite with Photoshop CS3. I am having trouble importing RAW camera files for one of the newer OLYMPUS SLR's. All the recent Adobe RAW updates seem to be only for CS5.
Where can a person get support for CS3? (sorry, I'm not into spending hundreds of dollars updating at this time..)
Gary

For the convenience of opening raw files from new cameras directly into Photoshop, Adobe simply expects you to buy a new version of their software when you buy a new camera. They have provided, as mentioned above, a somewhat roundabout way to do it with DNG.
Photoshop CS5 has some nice new features (especially over CS3) which make it well worth upgrading.

Problem installing Raw Camera Updater for K100D Super?

Heyo (:
So, I have iPhoto and up until now it's been working okay with dealing with all of my photos and such. When I import them I've had absolutely no problem, until today when I started to import my images. The import went smoothly, it looked like they were all going to go in, I got to the dialog box that said "delete all/keep all" (or whatever it really says), but after that I got a dialog box that said it couldn't import ANY of my .PEF files.
I ran software update and it updated my RAW compatibility, but it still won't work. So I looked around on the website for the specific update for the k100d super, but it won't let me install it because there's 'a newer version of digital camera raw compatibility' on the computer. I have no idea how to delete the new version, and then reupdate, or if it's even possible? The present version is the one with the k20d update, but it doesn't work.
Any and all help is appreciated. I can't get iLife '09 until next week, so anything would be great. Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
but after that I got a dialog box that said it couldn't import ANY of my .PEF files.
What did that message say?
Anytime a Mac "loses" an ability always try a restart. If that doesn't help try repair permissions with Disk Utility.

The photos are going insane after the 9.18 Raw Camera update!

I use Sony a700, and after the latest RawCamera update, the photos are going weird.
the color are totally changed, and it couldn't be tuned to normal. seem the new parameters(maybe there are) make the photos totally out of range.
and jpeg format is not influenced only the ARW format.
It seems to the parameters of the camera Raw Algo was mistaken.

Don't panic. There are some who've found a solution!
What you'll need to do is "Downgrade" back to RAW Update 2.1.

Good luck

Adobe Reader 11.0.07 crashes and destroys the pdf form. Win 7/64

I use several forms from the Canadian immigration department. These forms require VALIDATION after filling.
Validation generates a set of machine readable codes that are included with an application.
Lately, Reader will crash in the middle of filling in the form.
The form also gets destroyed in that an error message talking about XFA comes up.
When I load the damaged form, fields are no longer accessible and some fields have been corrupted meaning the previously filled data has changed to garbage data.....most fields are intact.
Later today, I will redo the current form and cut the error message to post here.
I will also post a link to a clean copy of the form....but I don't see an option to attach a pdf file!!!!
Once the error / crash happens, I can no longer fill in any field on the form and the form cannot be validated....requiring a total redo that MAYBE works!!!
When I try to load the "damaged" form, I get the red message saying that Java is not selected BUT it is!!!!!
See
Also how to attach a clean pdf file?
For now I will insert a link to the file named "IMM0008ENU_2D.pdf"
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM0008ENU_2D.pdf
Any suggestions please?
System:
Dell Optiplex 745 Windows 7 /64bit, 6Gb RAM, 150Gb free drive C space. Dual monitors. Adobe Reader 11.0.07 Chrome

The message tells you that form's Reader Extended capability is no longer available. So when it crashed the digital signature which allows the PDF file to have the "special" capabilities must have been damage. This means that that the "JavaScript" ( NOT JAVA. JAVA is a separate programming language.) capabilities that the form had before will no longer function. It's not unusual for an application crash to damage a document no matter what the application is.
You need to do a couple of things. One, report the behavior to the government entity whose forms you are using of the issue, and two, file a bug with Adobe via their bug reporting form.

Updated iPhone, caused Crashing and loss of contacts

Hello
I recently updated my iPhone which is using iOS 7. I noticed after the update, that when I went to messages, most of my chats were missing. Additionally, some contacts are availible in messages, but are not availible in Contacts. My phone is also crashing almost all the time. Many of the chats had phone numbers which I had not stored in my contacts, and I now have no way of getting them back. I am using an iPhone 4.
Can anybody help me?

Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup (so is a bunch of other data), contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on the iPhone's backup, the iPhone, or any cell phone alone for this data, which can be lost or stolen.
If your husband is not syncing contacts with a supported address book application on the computer - with a Mac this can be with the Address Book application, and if the contacts were not restored with the backup, kiss the contacts goodbye.
