Retail version of 10.5 won't run on AGP with an OWC mercury G4 1.4 Ghz processor, 1 Gb ram, 32 mb vid card; was running 10.4 no problem

i have no idea what's happening, the machine ran fine with 10.4, after i installed 10.5 over the 10.4 on a 60 gb hdd it wouldn't run, I start the machine up, get the chime then the Apple logo and then the machine abruptly shut off after 35 seconds. installed a new hdd, an 80 gb, formatted it using the 10.4 install disk and partioned it into 2 40gb sections and then installed OS 10.5 onto the 1st partion, get the same result. the OS seemed to install OK, but as before the machince was shut off when I returned, and behaves exactly the same way, 35 seconds and shuts off. the Leopard 10.5 is a retail version, have NO idea what is happening. i read what the requirements for this OS and think I have met them. shutting down so soon into the startup makes me think its a hardware problem. do have a Logitech marble mouse and a non-Apple usb key board, but as noted had no problems with OS 10.4

i did a clean install of the 10.5 OS on a virgin hdd, that i partioned using the 10.4 install #1 cd.
Try it with the 10.5 Install Disc... what is the 2z691-****-A number on the 10.5 Disc?
1. Insert the Mac OS X 10.5 Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
   2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
      *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
   3. Click the Erase tab.
   4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
   5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
   6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase, one pass... after completion hopefully you'll be able to get a good install.
Oh, does it run forever whilst booted from the Install Disc?

Downloaded latest version Adobe Flash Player, Won't run.

D/L adobe flash player, windows 7, 32 bit, but computer won't run it. Checked add-ons, registry, etc. Any ideas???

Flash Player is a built-in component of Google Chrome, so there's nothing separate to download or manage. It might be an easier option.

Otherwise, what browser are we talking about? Do you have any add-ons like AdBlock Pro or Ghostery that might interfere with how Flash operates?

Good luck.

TS1702 I have an ipad2... When trying download an updated version from appstore it won't download. Happens with all apps. Help!

I have been unable to download a Twitter update or any other apps from the appstore. Help, please?

I assume that you mean that the apps are in "waiting" mode or something similar to that. you did not say that you were getting any error messages.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

Lightroom 3 memory issues (Retail version)... Using 3 GB of RAM?

I never had a problem while using Lightroom 3 BETA #1 and BETA #2, but as soon as I installed the retail version, I started having memory problems.
I have a Lenovo W500 workstation, with a T9900 3.06 GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 7200 rpm HDD.
I am having the same problem as many of you have posted... The retail version of Lightroom 3 consumes massive amounts of memory. You can't tell me it is from previews, or too many pictures, because the BETA 2 version had no problems. An hour after installing the retail version, Lightroom would slow my computer to a near halt.
I just closed Lightroom 3 on my machine after my computer came to a crawl. My RAM usage dropped from 3.75 GB to 0.830 GB. The lightroom.exe task showed it was consuming 2.99 GB.
Here is a screen shot:
This is a screen shot from my Lenovo W500 workstation. The flat line at the beginning is sitting at 3.75 GB of RAM. The transition period is Lightroom performing a backup before closing, and then it closes, and then RAM falls over several seconds to 0.837 GB...
Or see a bigger version at the following link:
http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/ss08x/Lightroom3RAM375GB-083GB.jpg
Is there a patch coming out soon? Having to close Lightroom every hour and reboot is not very convenient. :/

I did not see that particular thread, but I did see a few others...
I am uploading two more screenshots of LR3 memory usage. This is a before and after (so you can see the actual #'s), and the transition period is a backup that should only take a couple seconds, but is drawn out longer due to lack of RAM space.
I am hoping Adobe sees these, and hopefully helps them in some way. I just now realized that I forgot to take a screen shot of the lightroom.exe usage. I'll get that next time I suppose.
After I close Lightroom, my computer takes about 20 minutes to recover, and perform like normal again. Or I can reboot and start with a clean slate and then I'm ready to fire up Lightroom up again after a 5 minute break. Then I repeat the process after very little editing.

I updated too the latest version of Itunes and my ipod touch froze up with a picture of a usb cable going into itunes on the screen

I updated to the latest version of Itunes and my Ipod touch froze up with a picture of a usb cable and the i tunes logo

Well the answer I gave you didn't solve the problem. Is the USB cable and the iTunes logo still on the iPod screen? You could start the "fixing process" by rebooting your computer, connect the iPod again, launch iTunes and see if anything happens.
This article may prove to be helpful. there are many steps that you can try to get the iPod running again.

How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
HELP!

Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

Hi. My iMac hard drive is running Mavericks. I have an old version of Quark Xpress (3.32) which won't run in Mavericks. Can I partition my hard drive and run an older system on one partition, so I can access my Quark? Is that possible?

Hi ancelau,
QuarkXPress 3 is a Classic Mac OS application, so you need a version of OS X that still supports Classic. I believe 10.4 was the last one.
So if you have an iMac that boots with 10.4, then yes that is possible. I doubt though that newer Macs boot with OS X 10.4.
So why don't you upgrade QuarkXPress 3 to a newer version? I am not just asking that because I want you to spend money with us.
Typically using software that was released almost 20 years ago is just feasible when you keep an environment that was current at the time of release or a few years after, so an older Mac with a operating system present at that time. 20 years in IT is a lot.
So my opinion is that on a new Mac with a brand new operating system you need to use something a bit more current.
How about QuarkXPress 9 (released 3 years ago) or QuarkXPress 10? You are better off with v9, as QuarkXPress 10 only opens v7 and higher (whereas QuarkXPress 9 opens v3.1 and higher).
Or - I am even happy to make an exception - upgrade to 9 and we give you 10 for free? Let me know please.
Thanks
Matthias

You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
How much free space is on your hard drive?
Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

I have a 4g touch. I updated ibook in itunes and now, every time I sync, I get the message that the app won't run in os6. Is there any way I can revert the app in itunes so I have the latest version that will work with OS6?

I recently updated ibook in my Itunes. Now, every time I sync, I get the message that it won't update the ipod as ibook won't run in OS6. Is there any way I can revert the ibook app in itunes so it quits trying to install the current ibook app. I am trying to stop getting the warning message. I am also concerned if I ever have to reinstall the app.

Delete the app from the iTunes library on your computer and then transfer the version from iPod to computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
