Reinstalling OS X 10.4.6-- Not Allowing Me to "Select Destination"

Hi,
My G4 PowerBook (Titanium) recently crashed. Started making all sorts or grinding sounds. I finally got the install disk to get recognized after several time trying to restart the Mac and hold "C".
I went through the begining install promts ie ("Introduction", "Read-me", "Licsensing") but when it got to "Select Destination" section of the install it did not give me any options it was just a blank box, no folders or little drive icons. Even at this point the computer was still making horrible sounds. I suspected the HD was fried.
I replaced the HD and again tried to reboot to reinstall the OS X 10.4.6 and I am running into the same issue when I get to the "Select Destination" section. It does not give me any selection to choose from. I even tried an early OS version (Jaguar I believe) and ran into the same issue
(The grinding and aweful sounds are no longer occuring though... suppose that is the new HD)
If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
(Thanks in advance)

The first time this happened, it was because your hard drive had died. Now that you have a new drive, it's happening because you haven't partitioned and formatted the new hard drive yet. If the drive isn't partitioned and formatted correctly, the Installer doesn't see it as a viable place to install an OS.
Start up from the Installer DVD, open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, select your drive in the left pane of DU, and set it up as a single volume (partition) using the Apple Partition Map scheme. Then format the volume with the Mac OS Extended format and quit Disk Utility. The Installer will now be happy to install Tiger on it for you.

Having a problem with noises and mouse jumping, tried to reinstall and computer will not allow me to select the correct install icon. Sends me to xcode install

my kids computer began acting up this spring...so I shut it down.
Would not stay turned off, various noises almost continually, jumping highlights, etc.
Decided to reinstall os x snow leopard. insert disc and icon appears. then 3 icons with x in a column.

not what i want to do.
any help?

What model iMac do you have?
What version of Mac OS is it running? If you don't know, try to give approximations on when it was set up and whether it was ever updated so we can take our best guess.
How are you trying to boot from the install disc? Your description of 3 icons with x in a column' leads me to believe that you aren't booting from the install disc, but rather you are inserting the disc after booting from the OS that is installed on the hard drive. If that is what is happening you'll see something like this, although it will vary depending on the actual version of the Install Disc that you have and how you've chosen to view the files (icon, list, column, etc).
What happens if you restart the system with the Install Disc inserted, then quickly hold down the 'c' key so that the system attempts to boot from the Install Disc. Do you still experience the same issue?

New computer, trying to re-install cs2 upgrade but not allowing me to select disc to upgrade from

So I've had ps for years and have bought multiple upgrades since ps5. I have all the discs etc....I have recently bought a new pc and have tried to reinstall my cs2. It of course asks for the proof of original purchase by putting in the original ps5 disc. Once I do, it will not allow me to select a file from the disc to use as proof. Heck, not even sure of which file to select if I could, but I remember the last time I installed it on my previous computer, it automatically detected it and allowed me to proceed. I have seen a few things about 64-bit, windows 7 and even mention of a DVD-rom drive. Can someone please tell me it is possible to install this on my computer?! If I have to buy another upgrade I'm going to puke!
Thanks!!
"Isn't the price of technology supposed to go down over time??"

Thanks for the replys. Here are the screens that I am getting. The first screen is fine....I enter the CS2 serial number and then go to the second screen. Here is where it asks for proof of upgrade from v5.0 or later. I have the original 5.0 disc and I put that in. Then I select browse. The third screen pops and no matter what I select, the OK button never becomes usable. It is always grayed out.
Now, I have tried to install 5.0 to my computer but can't get past the Install select screen as seen in sceenshot 4. It won't recognize the exe for some reason. I also tried copying everything to a folder on my harddrive and installing it from there but same thing, it won't get past the install select screen.
it does sound like something to do with the optical drive but not sure what to do..
Thanks for the help!!!

hedger,
How do you expect anyone to help when we don't know a darned thing about the file, abut your setup, exact version of Photoshop and your OS, machine specs, etc.?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

When clicking on a lookup, firefor does not allow me to select from the list

When I use firefox, the website I am on has lookup fields located on it, firefox does not allow me to select my preferred option from the list. also when I slect another lookup from a list it displays the message 'invalid lookup value located in field ......'
This does not happen in IE

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Try using a different browser. If it works, then the problem is most likely Safari. If the other browser doesn't work, perhaps it is the web site.

SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.

Hi there,
Does someone know in SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.
Thanks,

Hi，
Per my knowledge,
it is by design that the data type multiple lines of text can only use “contains” and “begins with” operators.
You can also filter the list view using SharePoint Designer,
Open your list AllItem.aspx page in SPD ->click “Filter” > in “Field Name” select your multipe line of text field, in “Comparison” will displayed four choices.

I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano, but when I click on the Music tab at the top, it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc. I cannot un-check the Entire Music library option and check the Selected Artist - on

I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano, but when I click on the Music tab at the top,
it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc. I cannot un-check the Entire Music library
option and check the Selected Artist … one.
I have changed the Sync option to Manually sync, but that does not help.
How can I change this to the second option?
Thanks.

There is a checkbox above those two options for how to sync. It says Sync Music; it enables automatic syncing. That box needs to be checked before you can select from the two options for how automatic syncing is performed.
NOTE: If the iPod is current set up to Manually manage music [and videos], checking that Sync Music box replaces its current content with content from your iTunes library, based on how automatic syncing is set up on that screen.
So, if your goal is to add ONE playlist to an iPod that is managed manually, you do not want to do this because iTunes will erase the iPod's current content and replace it with just that ONE selected playlist (and whatever else you select on that Music settings screen).
Instead, if the iPod currently uses the manual setting, you need to add playlists manually to the iPod (not use the automatic syncing setting). Please post back with more details about your situation.

Did you use the Publish menu to export an .ibooks fle?
Check to see if you are trying to mistakenly select an .iba file.

Will not allow me to select on under wifi settings

My phone will not allow me to select on under wifi settings. It appears faded as if it is not a possibility. I have tried turning off phone and have tried re-setting network settings.

See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
If none of the tips in that article resolve the problem you have a hardware failure, probably of the radio chip. If you take it to an Apple store they will replace it if in warranty, or for $199 if out of warranty.

How do I remove the Windows partition? Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the remove option.

I am using an iMac, 8.1, early 2008. I installed Windows XP at that time. I am now using OS 10.8.5 and want to remove the Windows partition to free up disk space. Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the "install or remove" option. How can I get rid of the Windows partition?

You can try removing it in Disk Utility.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
2. Click on the Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. Select the bottom rectangle/partition. Click on the Delete [-] button below the sizing window to remove it. Click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
4. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for the remaining partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and drag it all the way down to the bottom. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a restored single volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

I bought a movie off of iTunes, but it will not play. I click on it and the movie's menu shows up, but it will not allow me to select the "play" option.

After purchasing a movie from iTunes, I clicked on the film and it brought me to the movie's DVD menu. However, it will not allow me to select it to play. I can select the "chapters" option, but I cannot select any of the chapters. Essentially, it is stuck on the menu.

Intrusion-detection-module 7 data-port 2: Capture not allowed on a SPAN destination port

Hi all
I have 2 switches Cat6509E. each with IDSM module
I have on first switch this commands
intrusion-detection module 7 data-port 1 capture
intrusion-detection module 7 data-port 2 capture
intrusion-detection module 7 data-port 1 capture allowed-vlan 4,6,16,17,66
intrusion-detection module 7 data-port 2 capture allowed-vlan 68,70,74,134,145
And when I trying to put the same on second switch I will get this error message
Intrusion-detection-module 7 data-port 2: Capture not allowed on a SPAN destination port
What does it mean?
Output "sh monitor" is the same on both switches
Session 1

Hi Peter,
     The first switch that you mention is configured (judging from the "intrusion-detection" commands) to use the VACL capture method of sending traffic to the IDSM-2 for inspection. You can read about this method here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ips/7.0/configuration/guide/cli/cli_idsm2.html#wp1030828
In short, you configure a VACL to define the traffic you want to capture and apply it to the appropriate VLANs. When traffic matches the VACL, it's copied to the IDSM-2 ports that have been configured with the "intrusion-detection module 7 data-port 1 capture" commands.
On the second switch it appears that there is a monitor session setup SPANing traffic to the IDSM-2 port. This is an alternative method of sending trafic to the IDSM-2 for inspection and is mutually exclusive with the VACL method on a particular IDSM-2 interface. You can read about the SPAN method here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ips/7.0/configuration/guide/cli/cli_idsm2.html#wp1030816
This method, in short, simply involves configuring a SPAN session with the IDSM-2 interface as the desination.
You'll need to choose one method or the other for configuring the second switch. If you want it to match the configuration on the first switch, simply remove the monitor (SPAN) session that's currently configured.
Best Regards,
Justin
