When installing itunes 10 uding windows xp I get the following error: "There is a problem with this Windows Installerpackage. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your sipport personnel or package vendor." - any ideas?

When downloading itunes 10 in windows xp, I get the following error "There is a problem with this Windoes Installer package. Aprogram run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." - any ideas on how to proceed?

using MSICUU2.exe didn't help me. But, the new replacement app did:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
I fixed my problem like this:
Here's the deal -
1. can you install itunes via the APPLE SOFTWARE updater?
I couldn't so I downloaded ITUNES and tried to install it that way.   Hence I got the same error hang as you. Nothing worked, (Multiple attempts at uninstall reinstall, stopping of Services, Reg cleaners etc..)
2. If answer is NO to #1 you must fixe the APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE Program.
OK so I couldn't find a Download for this.   But: if you have WINRAR, open the ITUNES.EXE and extract the APPLESOFTWAREUPDATE.MSI file. Execute the APPLESOFTWAREUPDATE.MSI separately.   And you will not be able to install it and have a similar issue as per your Itunes install.   This of course leads you to believe that the Itunes.exe install is also installing all of these components including the applesoftwareupdate silently.   It must BOMB at that portion of the install and you are done.
3. Your goal now is to get the applesoftwareupdate installed.   How do you do this. Well - here is what I did.
a. downloaded and RUN a PC Installer FIX it tool from Microsoft. This is a replacement for the older MSI fixer they used to use.
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
b. It will list programs to attempt to fix.
choose AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
c. Once it is done, then reinstall apple program updater using
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
Finally it should install since the Microsoft tool appraently fixed corrupted installation files in your registry for this application.
(Please note: that I also disabled any apple related services such as BONJOUR or IPOD DEvice RUN: services.msc to get there - although this man not be necesarry.)
Hence Launch this APPLE UPDATE SOFTWARE (Click the ICON in your Start menu) it should list ITUNES
select ITUNES from here and it will update.
KEY HERE is to ONLY UPDATE APPLE Stuff via the APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE program. If that program is not working fix it. Then Bingo.
I am sorry to see folks having this problem for weeks.
APPLE,   Spread the word. PC's can get corruption in the registry on your product should the update be stopped or computer shut off during an update. etc...   Please improve your software updater program to check for invalid registry upon launching the app. This will prevent people thinking it is an APPLE issue. It appears to be a problem on your PC's registry settings for the APPLE Software update.

Cannot install on Windows 7 setup.exe freezes.

Hi I am trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection from a DVD by running the setup.exe however, it freezes at around 90% and I cannot continue any farther. I have tried copying the dvd to my hard drive and that gives me the same result. It also did the same thing when I had XP SP3 and I never found a solution. I really need to get this installed so I can finsh a clients site so any help is aprieciated.

Hi again (for the last time),
I must stress the most annoying thing about it is the fact that Adobe clearly lies in stating that ( in my case CS3) should work on Windows 7. In the article: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/508/cpsid_50853.html on the website there is a claim CS3 has been tested on Windows 7 and should work.....
"In the article `Support policy for Acrobat 7 and 8 on Windows Vista...` no other conclusion is possible. In his answer Bob Levine admitted that Adobe 7 and 8 are supported in Vista.
And of course we can fight about the number of applications working well in Vista but not in Windows 7 and that (quoting Bob:) ´some` applications from C3 work fine in Windos 7.
Later on, there is a statement I recieved by mail that declares the opposite:
***Notes to Customer***
11/09/200908:36:02
Dear -------,
Thank you for contacting us through Adobe Web Email Support. This
response addresses your request about acrobat 8.0 on windows 7.
Unfortunately only Acrobat/Reader 9.2 will be fully supported on
Windows 7.
All previous versions will not be supported on this platform.
Thank you,
***Notes
But that doesn´t make sense in the light of the promises Adobe makes about CS3 in Windows 7 on its website.
So my complaint is still the same... don't lie on internet about things you must later take back for the sake of commerce. I personally made my decision to upgrade (from XP) to Windows 7 partly because I should still be able to use CS3 (including Acrobat 8).
Adobe is highly (probably even more than Microsoft) arrogant to users who bought their expensive products..

Solution Manger Diagnostics setup (SMD Agent)

Hi All
I have managed to setup Solution Manager Diagnostics and Deploy on of the agents to out DEV BI Server (JAVA), however I keep getting the message:
     "Failed to connect to server: bidevdb - Please make sure SMD Agent is up and running"
Now I can see in the SAPMSC that the SMD agent is running - so I am not sure why this is the case. Does SMD require SAPCCMS setup as a windoes service on the BI Server?
Or what else can I check to find out what the issue might be?
Thanks all in advance (will award points for helpfull answers)

Cheque Printing Setup

Hi,
Client required printing check from APPS. For that we have customized Cheque format and registered in APPS server.
Now we are trying to take print out for Cheque. The problem is sever having Linux operating system and printer connected in client system (Windows XP). In this situation what setup we have to do in Sever and client system to take the print out. Could you please suggest any body…..
Thanks in advance
Regards,
VENKAT

first on windows clinet you need to install printer shar server you will find it on add windows component, it will install a service on windows serveris windo.
then add the clined ip address to your server hosts file with a printer name.
then you must let your linux server (os level to be apple to print on this printer) then you can add it to your apps.

Deskjet 460 802.11g wireless setup on Win7

{Personal Information Removed}
There has to be someone in HP who can explain clearly how to set up a Deskjet 460 with 802.11g card in "infrastructure" mode on a router, using Win7. Surely!
The 460 was not fully supported on Win7, but Win7 has a driver which works with a USB cable. The challenge is how you get an infrastructure network profile into the 802.11g card when the tools on the Starter CD are XP-only - actually, even if they were to work on Win7, they have disappeared from the HP website, so you cannot download them.
Looking at a previous thread (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Issues-with-DeskJet-460-WiFi-and-Windo...), lots of folks are as frustrated as I am, but nobody has so far answered the key question.
Before dumping XP I created a network profile on a USB stick, using the Starter CD - this was an xml file in a folder named SMRTNTKY. It was supposed to allow me to replicate the settings on other printers (or on mine if I lost the settings). Now, it is not recognised by the printer, but I have no idea why. I have cleared the profile, inserted the USB stick, powered off and on, with no change - the printout still shows the network profile as ad hoc / hpsetup.
I and others need a clearly documented process for creating an infrastructure network profile and for getting it into the printer, so we can use the device with Win7. If this needs software, we need that software to be available for download from the HP website, ideally via links from the reply (since the website is a bit of a mess to navigate. Please help.

Hi,
Assuming you have WiFi connectivity on your laptop, try setting a temporary ad hoc connection and then use the EWS to connect the printer to your router as a workaround, such a software is not available for Windows 7:
Follow these steps to install the product on the network with the Windows 7 printer driver.
Turn the product on.
Insert the wireless printer card into the printer.
Reset the wireless network settings on the product:
Reset all of the 802.11 wireless profiles: Press and hold the Power button ( ), press the Cancel ( ) button two times, and then press the Resume button ( ) eight times. Release all buttons.
Click the Wireless icon on your system traym then connect to the HPSETUP netowrk.
Wait two minutes for the printer to obtain an IP Address, and then print a wireless configuration page:
Make sure the product is on and idle.
Press and hold the Cancel button ( ) for more than two seconds. A wireless configuration page prints.
Locate the IP address / URL printed on this page, type it into your web browser to access its EWS page.
Open the Network / Wireless tab, click the Wireless option or the Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the steps to connect the pritner to your router.
Press and hold the Cancel button ( ) for more than two seconds. A wireless configuration page prints. note the listed IP.
Right click the USB printer icon within Devices and printers, select Printer Properties. Within the Ports tab create a new Standard TCP/IP port and type the listed IP for this port.
Hope that help, I cannot guide you further within the EWS as I do not have the exact device but you should locate it within the networking area of the EWS

How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?

How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?
Have an Exchange mail account setup and accessible in my mail on iPad... however my kids use it and i would like to restrict them from accessing this specific portion of the device. I tried viewing restriction options and do not see that i can apply a restriction specifically to Mail. Thanks for your help.

Not a feature of iOS. Check the AppStore to see if there are other
mail apps that allow passcode protection.
Or use Safari to log onto your email via a web-based interface and
enter your credentials each time. A bit slower, but the kids will
not know the details to login.

New setup questions...

Hey Guys,
I'm moving to a new condo on 9/1 and getting Fios (switching from cable) for the first time. In the proverbial nutshell, what I want to do is this: run two HD TiVos (with cablecards), plus my Apple Time Capsule as my primary router. I don't care a bit about VOD or Verizon's channel guides, email, or any other silly thing they provide. An ISP is (or ought to be) just a 'dumb pipe'.
Having done some research online today, it seems as though I need to have my ONT set up to run Ethernet, not MOCA (coax). Is there anything else I've missed that I need to know?
Thanks! Any suggestions greatly appreciated... :-)
Regards,
Ken

You would want to have a CAT5 Cable run from the location where the ONT will be to where your Apple Router will be locatated.
Allow the FIOS Technician to install their Router and get everything up and running. Since you are not planning on using the Verizon Router the location should not mater. I would just have a CAT5 Patch cable available and ask them to use it to make the data conenction from the ONT to the Verizon Router.
Once the technician is done you can release the TCP/IP Address from teh Verizon Router, Power Down, Swap in your Router, and hopefully be all setup. Here is a FAQ with more information on using different routers:

I am trying to setup VPN with QuickVPN

Hi I am trying to setup VPN with WRVS4400N and Quick VPN on client side. I am fairly new to VPN and did some research and looked through the manual but can't seem to get it to work so far and from what I noticed many people are having this problem. So hopefully someone can tell what the problem is or at least point to right direction on solving this.
Basically it gives the "Failed to establish connection" generic error, shows it almost instantly..
It also showed the certificate error before but then I read about putting it in the installation directory and it stopped showing it, and whats strange is later I removed it but it doesnt show the error any longer, so don't know if its caching it somewhere or what can be going on...
In effort to look for answer and test things out I tried to connect to another location and setup a WRV200 router, I also get the same error but not instantly, it even shows "Activating Policy" but then doesn't go farther and shows the generic error...
Also with this setup strangly it always shows the certificate error, no matter if I put one in directory or not... Even tried to name it as the WRVS4400N certificate name...
Anyway VPN IPSec is disabled, and Client Accounts are configured and changed password several times to make sure its correct, VPN Passthrough enabled on all 3 options.
I tried to disable Windows Router, I also have a router in place do I possibly need to open some type of ports for the QuickVPN client?
Don't know yet whats going on if I am missing something or if there is some problem that needs work-around but if you know the answer or guesses of answer please let me know.

Hi Aleksandr,
since this question is about a product in the Cisco Small Business / Linksys range, I suggest you move it to the community, where you will have a better chance of getting expert advice.

Add management server: Setup version: 7.0.9538.0 is not compatible with database version: 7.1.10226.0

I want to add another management server to our existing SCOM environment. But whenever I run this setup on a new server I get stuck in the window for selecting the OperationsManager database. The database field stays blank and in the OpsMgrSetupWizard log
there are lines that the setup version is not compatible with the database version. But I use the same installer as when I installed the other management servers a year ago.
Maybe there is a newer setup installer? But I can't find it.

Can we setup two sets different 7912 logos in one CCM cluster?

Hi,
CCM 4.1(3) cluster within head office. We created the 7912 logo for system default image. However, the remote site 7912 phones, need to use a different logo other than the head office.
as per http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Unified%20Communications%20and%20Video&topic=IP%20Telephony&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Dpass_through%26location%3Doutline%40%5E1%40%40.1ddc5d3d/0#selected_message
We can create the 7912 logo, but how can we setup two or more different 7912 logos for different sites?
We noticed on CCM4.1(3), there is idle URL for 7912 phone, what is the callmanager default link for this URL? I am thinking to use different logo file names, and put the related URL on this parameters for remote site 7912 phones.
Could someone let me know or any other better way to do?
Thanks,
JJ

Hi JJ,
This should work just the way you have described. Have a look;
Idle
Enter the URL that displays on the Cisco IP Phone display when the phone has not been used for the time that is specified in Idle Timer field. For example, you can display a logo on the LCD when the phone has not been used for 5 minutes.
Leave this field blank to accept the default setting.
Idle Timer (seconds)
Enter the time (in seconds) that you want to elapse before the URL that is specified in the Idle field displays.
Leave this field blank to accept the value of the Idle URL Timer enterprise parameter.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00801ecfc7.html#1121361
Here how on CCM;
Method 1:
Choose System > Enterprise Parameters so that the change is propagated to all of the phones from the Cisco CallManager Administration page.
In the URL Idle field, enter http://IP_address_of_CallManager/CCMCIP/filename.xml.
In the URL Idle Time field, enter any positive value in seconds.
Method 2:
Choose Device > Phone under the Cisco IP Phone configuration so that only this phone displays the graphics from the Cisco CallManager Administrator page.
Choose the phone/phones on which you want to put the display.
In the Idle field, enter the path http://IP_address_of_CallManager/CCMCIP/filename.xml.
In the Idle Timer field, enter any positive value in seconds.
From this good doc;

HT4557 whats the best itunes/appleID setup for family of 3 with 3 ipads, 3 iphones, one PC with all music on. if we use 3 separate ones how do we share purchased and home content?

been with apple for years. one itunes/appleID in use for family - all purchases and downloads on the one account..
now got 3 ipads, 3 iphones and when we update the software, we seem to get text/facetime issues due to multiple email addresses and phone numbers for the different devices that each individual uses. For example, I send a text and it appears to have come from my wife or son to the recipient. Not good !
there seems to be direction from apple that each of us should use our own apple id, thogh how do I link the accounts so enable family sharing of music/media we have purchased etc - Id also like to be able to review and keep a private eye on what my son downloads as he is 11 yrs old ! I manage this currently as we allow him access to the password for itunes (as we all use the same id today)
Am i better setting up accounts for my wife and son independent of my own, or not. Each of us would like access to the family content we have and the master library of synced content. I just want the most simplistic approach that apple, or others would recommend.
Is there a better or optimum setup for a family as we cannot be alone.....

Thanks for the help, but a follow up question now.
My iPhone won't arrive for a little while, but my wife already got hers and she wants to set it up now. Using my Apple ID for the purchases, if she starts setting hers up, can she change her iCloud ID to something else quickly? It keeps telling us that we have to sign in with the AppleID first.
Should we just set up an iCloud account via normal internet before trying all this via iPhone?

MULTIPLE DEVICES SETUP IN ITUNES, SAME APPLE ID

We have one home computer (with Windows), and have 2 IPOD Touch's plus 1 IPAD all setup in ITUNES on this same computer. We are also setup with ICLOUD.
Kids IPOD's get music and FACETIME contacts all mixed up with each other and with the IPAD. What is the best way to keep each other's music/playlists as well as FACETIME contacts from syncing to each other's devices?

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
Step 1
A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
Step 2
If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 3
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 4
From the App Store menu bar, select
Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
Step 5
According to a report, the error can result from changing the language setting of your Apple ID account. I can't confirm.

How do I use family share to setup a new device for my child when I don't already have one with iOS 8?

My kids want apple products.
I don't own any.
I buy an iPad for one and an iPhone for the other, but I can't set them up because they require me to setup Family Share and create accounts. I can't do that because I don't have a device with iOS 8 already setup.
I do have a valid AppleID. I've had it for years. I use it with iTunes.
I wish they would just let me manage the account setup and Family Share through a web page. Right now I'm dead in the water and Christmas is approaching fast.

I have found a solution.
It turns out that all the documentation I could find on the web was wrong. At least in the case of the iPad I just bought. I did manage to borrow a device so that I could setup family share and the kids accounts, but when I went to enter the new existing account into the setup of the iPad, it then started leading me through the process to create the account (clearly it didn't bother to check if it really existed already). In reality, I believe had I just entered a "new ID" for my child, that didn't exist, it would have led me through the same process. As it was, I had to back out to the first screen and skip the creation process, since I had already created the IDs elsewhere.
The only part I'm not clear on, is if I still would first have needed to turn on family sharing for my ID before starting this whole process, or whether it would automate that while creating the child AppleID.

I need help with proper DNS setup for 10.5.8 Server

I'm administering a 10.5.8 server that I sold and setup about a year ago. I'm experiencing issues with getting iCal server to be happy. All of the clients are running 10.5.8, but I'm running 10.6.1. I've heard from others that connecting iCal in 10.6 to a 10.5 iCal Server should be no problem.
I'm beginning to think that I have DNS issues. Probably because I'm not and never have been 100% certain how to set it up completely correctly. I used to be able to get Kerberos tickets, but now I can't. With the new "Ticket Viewer" in 10.6, it asks for two bits of information. First is "Identity" where I'm guessing I should put [email protected] and then password. When I do this I get an alert dialog that says "Kerberos Error -- cannot resolve network address for KDC in realm example.com"
The server is a Mac Pro tower with two Ethernet ports. En2 is connected directly to the Internet and has a static IP with a domain name assigned to it. We'll call it "example.com" for the purposes of the discussion. The En1 is connected to the network switch and has a static LAN IP of 192.168.1.250. All clients inside and outside are able to reach the server via domain name for WWW & AFP, no problem.
nslookup on the static IP address returns "example.com" and nslookup on "example.com" returns the correct static IP address. Open Directory is running and happy including Kerberos. The LDAP search base is "dc=example,dc=com". The LDAP search base is a concept I haven't quite grasped, so I'm just going to assume it's correct.
The domain name is hosted outside by a service provider that forwards all "example.com" requests to the server with the exception of mail.
In DNS, I have three "sections" that look like this:
Name Type Value
1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. Reverse Zone -
192.168.1.250 Reverse Mapping example.com.
000.000.00.in-addr.arpa. Reverse Zone -
000.000.000.000 Reverse Mapping example.com.
com. Primary Zone -
mail.example.com. Alias mail.our-email-isp.com.
example.com. Machine Multiple values
www.example.com. Machine Multiple values
NOTE: the zeros aren't actually zeros, they are the static IP assigned to the server/domain
When I select the top element "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa." down below "Allows zone transfer" is NOT checked. Nameservers shows the zone as "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa." and the Nameserver Hostname as "ns.example.com."
When I select the next line down "192.168.1.250", Resolve 192.168.1.250 to: example.com.
When I select the "000.000.00.in-addr.arpa." element, it has the same settings -- nameservers "000.000.00.in-addr.arpa." and "ns.example.com."
When I select the next line down (our static IP), Resolve 000.000.000.000 to: example.com.
When I select "com." the admin email is populated with a valid email address, Allows zone transfer is NOT checked. In nameservers, Zone is "com." and Nameserver Hostname is "example.com." The mail exchangers are mail2.our-email-isp.com. priority 10 and mail.our-email-isp.com. and priority 20.
When I select the machine "example.com." it shows both the real-world static IP and the 192.168.1.250, same with "www.example.com.".
Am I doing something wrong with this setup? Should "com." be the primary zone or should that be "example.com." ???
I've been thinking about getting rid of the DNS entry for the 192.168.1.250 address altogether, but will the clients in the office suffer performance issues??? I do not think that the client workstations are configured to get DNS from the server anyway. Should the "www.example.com." record be a Machine record or should it be an alias record?
Any help you have to offer is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
In the meantime, I'm going to look around and see if I can understand "Allows zone transfer" and LDAP Search base a bit better.

Okay, I found a lovely article at the following address which I think helps me to clarify what I'm doing wrong. Despite that, I'd still like to have any feedback you have to offer.

Also, when editing DNS entries, Server Admin likes to set the nameserver to "ns." -- whatever your domain is. Should I be overriding that and if so, replace it with what?
