Remote Installation Not Working

I am wanting to install snow leopard on my 13" Intel Macbook currently running Tiger. Unfortunately, the optical drive is grinding disks so I've tried to do a Remote Installation from a pc running vista. I have "DVD or CD Sharing" enabled on both devices and both connected to the same netword, but no "Remote Disk" option appears in the Macbook's Finder window and when I restart holding "alt" the only option is the Macintosh HD and no bar from which to select a network. Can a remote install be performed on a mac other than the Air? Thanks.

Hi jesbre;
I would give you about the same chances of success with your plan to upgrade your Mac via a PC as that snowball in your know where. Optical drives are dirty cheap now. I think if you replace the optical drive you chances of success would be much greater.

MSI installer not working MSI 5.0 Windows 7

Hello I am trying to get MSI installer to work and when I go to install anything that has the Windows Installer Package it opens Notepad in a scrambled message. I have tried numerous avenues to no avail (regedit,copy paste regedit, troubleshooters, sfc/scannow,
command prompt etc.) I tried to choose the file association of MSIexec in System32 and it just opens this
I have tried what is suggested in this forum
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/f699e632-54ba-443b-85df-269a7fd6cf1a/windows-installer-not-working?forum=w7itprogeneral and regedit says:
I have tried this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso1 and didn't work
I have tried changing C :\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe /V in regedit and that didn't work
I have searched event viewer and all that's in there is a warning and information of successful installs and uninstalls.
I have tried %windir%\system32\msi.dll version in Command prompt and it says that the system cannot execute the specified program
I am thinking it is just a matter of finding the correct file association that the windows installer can use to install that program but I am unable to find that!
I did a system restore but the only good restore was from earlier today and it still just opens notepad. before I did the restore I went into services and the computer couldn't find the file (windows installer) so I did a restore and now it at least sees
the file and I can start the service.
Can I please get some help fixing this? would uninstalling MSI and re-installing it work? I have been searching forum after forum and nothing has yet worked.
I did a clean install of windows a couple of weeks ago
Microsoft answers gives me thee worst answers a person could come up with.

Hi ingenuities,
Try importing these reg file under Safe mode.
If you really need this work, I am supposing the only way is to try importing them manually, if any value key is using by process, use process monitor to filter out these processes and shut them down.I monitored values under MSI.package seems like no
value was using by system.
I exported msi.package and patch to text, it is from a clean Windows 7 intallation。

My Apple TV remote is not working.

My Apple TV remote is not working. It was fine this morning, but now ATV is not responding to it. It still access iTunes on my Mac so I don't think it's a battery issue. The white light flashes on ATV, but nothing happens. I have restarted ATV several times from the mains, but no change. Please help!

Hey Punkmonk1,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Apple TV remote. The following resource may provide a solution:

Remote does not work correctly after update

Hello,
the subject explain it already:
After upgrading to 2.3 the apple remote does not work correctly anymore:
I need to push the buttons twice, and than atv is only reacting sometimes.
Any ideas?

Same problem here. First, I thought it was the Apple remote's battery. I replaced that and the problem persisted. I then used my digital video camera to verify that the remote was actually transmitting infrared, it was. In frustration, I tapped the buttons rapidly while pointing at the Apple TV. The Apple TV responded. The next button press it failed to respond. I tapped rapidly again and it finally responded. After many many rapid presses, while pointing directly at the Apple TV, it finally began responding to all presses. Once I'd regained control (I thought) I unpaired and re-paired the remote. Everything continued to work. At that time I also saw that I could "learn" another remote. So, I set up my Samsung TV remote. Sweet. Until the Apple TV went into screensaver mode again and I had to go through the same rapid button press sequence... with either the Apple remote or my learned Samsung remote. Conclusion, since the Apple TV will become fully responsive after the rapid button press sequence, it is certainly a software related problem.

Mac Os X lion installation not working.

os x lion installation not working, when the installation bar comes to 99% a pop up widow tells me that the installation has failed and the file could be damaged or something. But i just downloaded it from appstore. Any ideas?

Here's an update on my problem:
Called Apple Support the other day. They basically told me that they can't help, because this is a problem of misconfiguration and that those kinda things weren't covered. Still the person on the line gave me a hint, I should look for leftovers of previously installed software in /Library/LaunchDaemons/ and /Library/LaunchAgents/ .
Well, that did the trick. In one of the folders I found "net.shrew.iked.plist". This file obvioulsy belongs to the ShrewSoft VPN client. I removed it and the built-in client works again.
I reinstalled ShrewSoft one more time to see if it works without the mentioned plist-file...needless to say it wouldn't connect anymore, but that's alright with me - for now.

Mac Book OS X 10.6.8 installer not working

I've trying to update my Itunes and it will not work i get the following message: "The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs." I recently brought my Mac to Ottowa for new battery and this started after that. I've also tried to instlall BlackBerry for Desk top and the following Error message: "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacture for assistance."
Right now I'm not able to install anything, I've had the MacBook for almost two years now and still have over 440 gigs free space. Any help would be appreciated I tried everything with my limited skills, I live in an isolated are of Canada so don't have access to a store.
Thanks in Advance,
Jason

From what you describe, it sounds like you're trying to update iTunes to the latest version, but can't. Whereas the title of your post is talking about having a problem with the 10.6.8 Update, which is not iTunes. So, I'm confused: which of these are you really talking about, iTunes, or the 10.6.8 Update?
If you're really talking about iTunes, then it's possible that something in the download has been corrupted and so it can't be installed. If you live in a remote area of Canada, what sort of Internet service do you have: Dial-Up, ADSL, or Cable? The type and speed of service could very well have caused corruption in the download.
But if that's not the real issue, then it's equally possible that something in your current Snow Leopard installation is corrupted or not in the proper place (like if you move applications or files from where they're expected to be). That could also cause iTunes or anything else to fail during installation.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Remote Control not work

hello all.. Sorry for beating a dead horse. My installation on a P4 3.0 ghz machine of the Audigy 2 was flawless. All hardware diagnostics that have been run have been successful. Everything works. I updated all drivers. Everything is functional on the unit.....but...the remote control doesn't work.
When I got to setup the remote control and it asks to select a transmitter (rm-500) from a drop down list, it shows rm-500. but it the drop down list for the receiver is BLANK? I've tried several suggestions from the forum but it still doesn't work.
Have I missed something or is it quite possibly just a dud unit that I have to take back.
thanks for all suggestions and ideas...
sony

OK, let's see, you have a device that is still under warranty. You properly installed said device. You put batteries in the remote but it does not work no matter what you try. It seems to me that you have only one option and you mentioned it in the penultimate sentence in your post.
Hope it's not a long dri've.:smileyvery-happy:

IPhone 4 Remote App Not working

Hello,
Sorry for posting another 'not working' thread, but having searched the forum I cannot find my answer.
I am not very technical, but I have iTunes and an iPhone 4.
I have the remote app and the app has worked perfectly up until recently.
I have upgraded iTunes to 10 and also my antivirus.
Now I know alot of these things could be caused by the firewall, but I have allowed iTunes to be let through the firewall and I have switched off the firewall in the past to ensure it was not this.
When I switch on the computer and open iTunes then go to the remote app it works. It is when the iPhone 'sleeps' that the library wont re connect, OR if i have been using iTunes and then try and start the remote that it will not work.
Any ideas at all as it is so frustrating. I am not technically minded, so switching router channels etc and proxy settings/DHCP etc dont really make sense to me.
I have tried rebooting everything including the router, but believe it is something simple as it was working prior to iTunes 10.
I am running a PC on Vista
Thanks
Steve

LaserJet Pro MFP M125nw - Scan to app All-in-One Remote does not work

Hi gurus,
Basically I have pruchased that super-printer and I am now trying to achieve scan to my mobile devices.
I have one iPad 2 on iOS 7, on 2 Android devices (smaller tablet and phone) both running Kitkat 4.4.2
I am trying to submit a scan from all these devices and retrieve the output within my mobile devices, actually this is fairly described here and concerns accurately my printer model : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02486319&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&destPage=pr...
Unfortunately, What happens :
- From my iPad, the AiO app states that my printer is not compatible with the application !!
- From my 2 Android devices, the All-in-One Remote app will work fine, except the scan feature as nothing happens (well, when tapping either 'Preview' or 'Scan' button in the Scan section, I see a 'Cancel' button during 0,1 second and I am back to that scan section)
Any one could help please ???
This question was solved.

Hello,
Can no one help ?
Is the product description misleading ? Is the AiO app not really reasy to support this printer ?

Remote control not working on Touchsmart 610-1030uk

Had been working fine for long time. Now out of warranty. Battery fine. Indicator on remote and on PC (white LED on front panel) both show IR is working. Mouse and keyboard still work fine. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers for Microsoft eHome infrared transceiver but still can't get the machine to respond to remote control.
Any thoughts?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello frrw. Sorry to waste your time. I changed the batteries and it works fine. It seems the red LED on the remote and the white LED on the PC that flashes when I press a button on the remote do not mean that the batteries are strong enough.
Meanwhile I have that recurring problem with blu-ray players. I will post a new question and maybe you can help.
Many thanks.
