Solution For 10.4.8 Update Reboot Problems

This is exactly what worked for me, without any need to back-up or re-format.
Get out that 10.4 install disc.
Boot from the disc (Hold down C after the startup sound)
Select your appropriate language.
Then, on the next screen, move the mouse to the top of the screen, select Utilities, then Disk Utility.
Repair permissions on your Macintosh HD.
Once finished, quit Disk Utility.
Select Utilities, Startup Disk.
Select OS X 10.4.8 and Restart.
Then wait.
Wait.
Wait some more.
It will restart again.
On the second restart, you should be back to normal.
Sorry if this is already the known way to fix things. I didn't see much in the forums stating this. Just a lot of confusion and anger.
Hope this helps most.
Rock Rock,

Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You cannot boot a MacBook Pro from a 10.4 installer disc. You have to use the OS X Installer Disc that came with the computer. A 10.4 DVD will only have a PowerPC version of OS X that cannot boot an MBP.

Is there a solution for my "files in use" installation problem with Adobe Reader XI?

I have tried repeatedly to download Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07), but I keep getting a "files in use" message that indicates my current version, Adobe Reader 8.1, is using files that need to be updated by the download's set up. The message directs me to close my Adobe Reader 8.1 and then continue, but when I receive it my Adobe Reader 8.1 is always closed. I am tempted to uninstall my Reader 8.1 and then try downloading Reader XI, but I am afraid I could be inviting even more trouble. I should mention the reason I am trying to download Reader XI is a notification I received in my computer's status box that indicates my Reader 8.1 is not working properly and suggests I download the latest version. I discovered the notification after I was unable to open a GIF file attachment. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Thanks for your reply.
I tried to uninstall my Adobe Reader 8.1 in safe mode, as suggested above, but received a message which indicated that Windows installer could not be accessed. That was a strange message, because I have not had problems uninstalling programs in the past, and, after receiving the message, I tried uninstalling a different program in safe mode and had no problem doing so. I am now going to try your suggestion.
Honestly, these types of technical issues always leave me so frustrated. I do not have a high technology acumen, and because my laptop is six years old, I cannot get professional help without paying a hefty fee. Thank goodness for this forum. If the solutions suggested here do not work, I guess I will keep my laptop until my Adobe 8.1 gives out completely.
Thanks again for your assistance. I will let you know if it works.

Solution for 4.0.1 updating problems if error 1004

If you are getting this error, then at some point in the past you modified the "hosts" file. To fix it, try the following (credit to KianABC):
On Mac:
* Open Finder
* Hold down COMMAND + SHIFT keys and press 'G'
* Enter "/private/etc/" in the field and press "Go"
* Find "hosts" file in the directory
* Drag the file to your desktop
* Open it in text editor
* Remove the line that has gs.apple.com entirely or put a # at the beginning of it to comment it out
* Save the file
* Drag it back to the /private/etc/ folder.
* You'd need to enter your username and password to authenticate the move
On Windows:
* Locate the hosts file in one of the following directories:
Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP, Vista, 7 c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
* Right click and click on "Open With..." and then click on "Notepad" on the list.
* Remove the line that has gs.apple.com completely and save the file. There may be two instances of the "gs.apple.com" in the list, if so, remove both.
This should work fine.
-F
Again, a

so what happens if you open your hosts file and there is no sign of anything resembling gs.apple.com and your still getting the 1004 message... ??

I found a solution for my "iTunes has stopped working" problem

iTunes was opening ok but would only play music; if I tried doing anything else like importing music or even navigating around it would crash with a "itunes has stopped working" message and shut down.
I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice with no luck. I searched for hours for a solution and finally figured it out.
What the problem was is a corrupt user profile. I determined this by creating a new user account on my computer, opening itunes under this new account, and doing the things that would make it crash under my original account.
Since it worked fine under my new account, I had to then transfer all of my user profile info from my previous account to my new one. Which is kind of a pain in the butt but not too bad.
There are instructions for doing this on the Microsoft site. One thing to make sure if that you setup the new account as an admin (the way I did it, per the instructions, was to setup a third account that transferred the files from the original to the new account) and to share all files under the user profile with "Everyone" so that they can be copied and transferred. I did have trouble trying to copy all of the files at once and paste. It didn't work. So I ended up copying individual folders and pasting them into the new account. You only need to do this with the folders that contain your individual data, e.g. My Music, My Pictures, etc. The way I figured out which folders and files to transfer was trying to open them under the new account. If they wouldn't open, they didn't need to be transferred. Anyway, rely on Microsoft instructions for this, I'm not a computer wiz myself.
Hope this helps someone because it took me a couple of days to figure it out!

Adobe CS4 products were never meant to be transferred. It breaks the licensing and you get this error.
There is a License Recovery tool for the Mac, download that from:
Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
For OSX 10.7 and above you can try fixing it using the Python Script and Terminal app. If you succeed, this will save you from Plan B, reinstalling Photoshop and illustrator plus all the updates.
So basically
Open Terminal
Type sudo and leave a space
Then download and unpack the LicenseRecovery111 dmg.
Inside you will find the License Recovery folder and inside that you will see "LicenseRecover.py
Drag LicenseRecover.py into the Terminal Window and press "enter" You should see this:
Enter your admin password. Ignore the fact that the cursor does not move and press Enter again.
Follow the instructions, and when done, you can quit the Terminal.
It should then be repaired. Try starting your programs.

Possible upgrade solution for people who have HD and problems in general.

OK, for me, Leopard has been as painful as going osx from OS9, at least the upgrade has been , dunno about the retail copy., bugs, bugs, bugs with the upgrade for sure.
Here is what happens generally., you upgrade and basically you need to run disk tools from a external drive or the Leopard DVD., the problems move on still.
Solution i found was to back up to another drive, that is right guys, spend another hundred bucks no one warned you about., get a external HD or if your living it high and collect macs as Apple assumes you may just have a second Intel mac laying around with a Sata drive in it to start up in "Firewire Target Mode", (hold the "T" at start up)and start cloning your drive with SuperDuper (also need to purchase)..
Ok
1- once you clone your drive (usualy a hour for the base system alone).
2- erase it as one partition,
3- in the options make sure it is set as GUID partition (takes about a hour) and
4- then as well zero out all the data., takes about 2 hours there as well.
5- Now run disk utilities from the Leopard DVD or the computer or booted up drive you used to do all this., if you can not fix permission of th volume you seen to reformat the Drive again 7 pass!, could take 4 hours.
Finally you will be able re clone it, and run disk tools after a days work no one warned you about.
*This disk utilities operation may take about 1 hour but say 11, and look like this below;*

*Good luck*
*My ADVISE:* if you experienced these problems, as above, reformatting by zeroing out the data works. as for those who want Leopard. *DO NOT UPGRADE but install a RETAIL version of LEOPARD* until apple has a update,
I read posts where people who have the retail copy (full DVD) have not experienced these problems, mine was a upgrade from Tiger since i got a mac in the last 30 days.
WARNING: it has been hard to trust Apple fanatics with these things now days, many posts are denials to things not working so i could be wrong there as well, been honest saves time is all i can advise them.
If anyone has beter advise please do post it.

Solution for MS Bluetooth Mouse 5000 pairing problem

I had a problem with my MS bluetooth mouse 5000 pairing with my MacBook that I thought I should share. When I first bought the mouse, it paired with no problem at all. But after about 2 weeks it disconnected for some unknown reason. Thinking it was a problem with the mouse, I replaced the batteries, and even exchanged it for a new mouse. After going through the Mac bluetooth pairing process and trying out a number of solutions I saw posted on various bluetooth subjects, I could not get it to work - during the pairing process, it came up with various errors indicating that the pairing process failed.
Finally, from another post, I did the following:
- removed all references to the mouse in the bluetooth list under Open Bluetooth Preferences.
- I then did a PRAM reset per Apple's suggested procedure (Command-Option-P-R during start up).
Once this completed, I was able to get my mouse to successfully pair with my MacBook.

I had the same problem. The cure is to boot off of the OSX DVD and when it attempts to find a mouse hold down the connect button on the bottom of the mouse. Keep holding it down until OSX recognizes the mouse. It may take a minute or two. After the mouse has been recognized you can exit before the installation requires software to be transferred. Then just select a normal reboot on the exit menu option.

Has anyone got a solution for the inability to update or reinstall itunes 10.6.3 on a windows 7 64 bit computer

I have been unable to update or reinstall Itunes to my windows 7 64 bit computer. I have tried most of the suggestions to date to no avail. My outcome is a dialog box that says itunes was not installed. . . At one point, it created a situation where my CDDVD drive was disabled but a windows troubleshooter got that back working citing a "class filter driver problem" that it repaired. Also, Itunes comes up and plays from the optical drive (and the hard drive) but will not write to the CD or refresh my podcast list. Anyone?

Here's a possible solution for those w/Ellipsis 7 memory problems

My husband is having the exact same problem with his Ellipsis 7 tablet that MANY of you have posted about: not enough app space memory. Meanwhile, I have the same tablet, purchased at the same time and place with NO PROBLEMS.
After help from ANTHONY (amazing assistance) thru Verizon Tech Support, we found the difference in our tablets and a SOLUTION.
CHECK YOUR TABLET'S SOFTWARE VERSION by:
1. going to Settings,
2. clicking on About Tablet, and
3. scrolling down to Software Version.
You want it to say MV7A_31D25_422A (my tablet) and NOT MV7A_31D26_422 (my husband's).
My husband's tablet is going back for his software to be reconfigured to match mine. I understand your frustration and truly hope this solves your problem as well.

I spent 6 hours trying to get itunes to recognize my
nano the first time and none of the "troubleshooting"
tips worked. I was getting the message "the software
to connect with your ipod is not installed properly"
when I'd try to connect my nano. Windows was
recognizing it, but iTunes wasn't. Here's how I
solved the problem.
1. click on the start button in the lower left
corner.
2. select Settings and click Control Panel
3. select Administrative Tools (you may need to
switch to "Classic Look", located on the left hand
side if you're using XP before you can see the
Administrative Tools folder)
4. select Services
5. scroll down the list of services on the right hand
side of the Services window and look for iPodService
6. look across the iPodService for the Startup Type
column (it should will say either Automatic, Manual,
or Disabled)
7. double-click on whatever it has listed for
iPodService under Startup Type (it will probably have
Manual, or Disabled)
8. a pop-up window will appear, under the General tab
in the middle of the window will be a drop-down
window, select Automatic
9. click Apply
You should be good, to go from here. It worked for
me. I recommend re-starting your computer, but it
might not be necessary. After I switched iPodService
to Automatic I haven't had a lick of trouble
connecting my Nano.
I hope this helps.

Any solutions for "Export process terminated unexpectedly [11]" problem?

Hey guys,
I'm trying to simply use Quicktime Pro (Version 7.6.6 Build 1632) to enable the "Fast Internet Start" feature of a 640 x 480 video H.264 video. It uses 16-bit Little Endian for audio, if that's of any help.
Anyway, like lots of other users with this same exact problem, I make the changes in the "Export" dialogue (in this case, enabling "Fast Internet Start" and lowering the audio quality a bit), and the little status indicator goes away and "Export Process Terminated Unexpectedly {11}" appears in its place. Has a definitive answer been found for this problem?

Similar issue here when exporting AVI files captured from Canon G9 to iPod.
QuickTime Pro quits with: Failed: process terminated unexpectedly (11).
Oddly, if I start from a power off and run QTime the error does not occur.
Of course powering off for every export is a real PAIN IN THE Axx but it is a work around on this end.
I have yet to try 3rd party software but this is error occurs with Quick Time Pro Ver 7.5 build 149.5.

I am unable to open the compose in gmail,what is the solution for that?what is the problem?

while using g mail i am unable to open my inbox mail and i can't give reply (compose mail is not working)because of these problem i m not able to use my mail properly so how can i resolve the problem???what is the correct solution ??

Hello,
First try to clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
* Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
* Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If that doesn't help then please can you test in Firefox's safe mode to see if the problem still occurs?
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If the problem doesn't occur in Safe Mode then continue to follow the instructions to find the setting or add-on that is causing the problem.
If the problem does occur in Safe Mode then I suggest doing a Firefox Reset. This will return Firefox to default settings. Your bookmarks, history etc will be saved but you will need to reinstall your addons.
I hope this helps. Let me know!

Twist/S230u bug: cannot start Lenovo Solutions for Small Business after installing updates

An issue may happen after running ThinkVantage System Update and selecting all available updates. After rebooting, Lenovo Solutions for Small Business will fail to launch. This issue happens because of a failure during one of the updates.
