Stuck on Language select during installation

This is coming via my brother who is reinstalling Leopard. He is using the disk that came with his laptop and when he gets to the language screen, it gets stuck on language select. He cannot click continue, and cannot even chose to select another language (not that he wants to, just saying he cannot). He has tried tabbing through the options and there is no response. The cursor will move around when on the touchpad, but nothing else. He is not using any external keyboard or mouse.
I have tried searching, but cannot find an answer. Can anyone offer any insight as to what is happening and how to fix it? Thank you in advance for any advice.

We could try a mouse, but the keyboard is not working either, so return will not be able to do anything sadly.
I don't know if his problem stems from why he is reinstalling it. He was having really long load times after a restart or a shut down and it would take sometimes 5+ minutes to load the OS. The computer is not even a year old yet and we couldn't figure out what has happened. I got mine before him and have had no problems. So he was trying to reinstall and now he can't get past the language select screen. I don't know if it's totally freezing up...but like i said the cursor will move but no clicks or keyboard actions will register.

  • My iPod is stuck on Language Selection screen

    My iPod Nano 7th generation is stuck on language selection screen. Language can be selected but "Done" button cannot be pressed.

    Sounds like a hardware malfunction with the device.  Could be the clickwheel itself or the logicboard.  Either way, you'll need to send your iPod in for service if you want to be able to use it again.

  • Ipod stuck on language selection screen

    I have an old 2nd gen ipod nano that i found lying on my desk, so i decided to add songs to it (it's formatted to windows). Since my playlist is sort of small i decided to add songs off of my buddies' laptop, which is a macbook. After selecting all the songs i wish to add to my old ipod, the ipod is stuck on Language Selection and the click wheel refuses to work. Is there anyway to reverse this without having to completely reset the ipod?

    Please don't steal music.

  • False language selected during Cloud App download is re-install safe?..

    Dear Sirs,
    Last week during installation of Adobe Creative Could Apps I've forgot to check Language settings in Download Manager and mistakenly installed US-English version of several Cloud Apps (instead of needed German). Will uninstall and following re-install with proper language settings so to say, license-safe? I mean, will I still keep the possibility to install Creative Cloud apps on the second computer?
    Second question is regarding simultaneous usage of Apps. You mentioned, that I'm not allowed to run the same application twice, but what about 2 different apps on 2 different computers (belonging to the same Adobe ID)? For example, Ai on my office desktop and Lightroom on the notebook? Or leave the desktop to process large video in Premiere and at the same time do some Photoshop/Lightroom work on the portable?
    Thanx a lot in advance,
    Maria

    Yes you can uninstall English and then install German using the Adobe Application Manager.
    You cannot run the software on two computers at the same time. This is part of Adobe's standard end-user-license-agreement (EULA), and is true for both the Creative Cloud and perpetual license (serial number) software. From the EULA FAQ http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/end-user-license-agreements-faq.html:
    Can I use my software on two computers?
    If you own, or are the primary user of, a single-user or volume license Adobe product that is installed on a computer at work, you can also install and use the software on one secondary computer of the same platform at home or on a portable computer. However, you may not run the software simultaneously on both the primary and secondary computers.
    No more than one user can use a single-user license Adobe product.

  • U2 iPod 20GB Is *Stuck* At "Language" Selection

    It's stuck and I'm stuck ...
    Subject cranky music device was last used approximately 10 days ago. It had sat for a day or so and the battery appeared to be drained, so I placed it into it's cradle (connected to my XP system via firewire) to charge. It appeared complete, no "do not disconnect" message, so I did, and found it to be "stuck" at the "Language" selection screen.
    I've done the "Five R's" more times than I care to think about. It goes through the "restore" process from the Updater just fine, and even acts as if it's downloading songs to it, because you can see it counting off songs in iTunes, but when all is done; it's back to the "Language" screen. No amount of "careful touching" on the click-wheel will make anything happen. And I can't say that the click-wheel itself is bad, because it lets me do the reset stuff fine.
    Is there any kind of "hardware reset" software out there for us PC types, that let's us mess with our iPod's mind? I'm game to try and play, because, well, I can.
    Help ... I miss my music!

    Has your iTunes been updated to 7.0, and did you then allow the 1.2 iPod firmware update to install?
    Your symptom is very similar to the problem I had updating my iPod to 1.2 (on Mac OS, not Windows). The songs would sync, and the song list and all the iPod information would show up in iTunes (after I reset the iPod while docked). But as soon as I disconnected, the iPod would freeze after about 5 seconds (usually still on Language Selection, but sometimes one or two clicks past that, if I was quick).
    I ended up restoring the iPod firmware to version 1.1.2 (found the iPod Updater software for 6/28/06 on the support web site--don't know if the Windows version is available there).
    I'm sticking to the old version (of the firmware) until Apple gets a patch version of iTunes 7 out.

  • New iPod woes, stuck at language selection.

    So I just got my iPod home from the store and turn it on and the first screen I see is to select what language I want to use. It is defaulting to English, with a list of many other languages underneath it but I cannot get it to proceed or even to highlight another option, it appears completely frozen. There are not too many buttons to push, is it broken right out of the box or am I missing something?
    There is no owners manual so I am not even sure how to turn it off, it just stays on when I unplug the USB cable from the bottom of the iPod and there does't appear to be a "power" button of any kind.
    Also, I am using Firefox 1.07 as my browser. When I try to access the music store I am told that the music store could not be reached and to check my connection. Obviously I'm posting here so my internet connection is just fine.
    Must say, so far I'm not impressed with the iPod or the customer care. A page in the support section tells me that I can chat with a live person, but when i get there it asks me to select a product and enter a serial code. The only products available to select or iPod Shuffle and iMac. No option for just iPod which seems to cause it to choke when I enter the serial #. Any other customer support emails or phone #s are buried, I suppose I will resume the hunt for them after I post this.
    If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate any info.

    Welcome to the discussions Patrick,
    It may or may not have said it on there but there is one number for apple support. It is 1-800-APL-CARE. You dial this number during buisness hours and follow the steps given. Since you just bought this (a video ipod right?) you have one year or 90 days of phone and tech support. As for turning the ipod on and off it is the play/pause button and the center button. Center to turn it on and play/pause to turn it off. It is confusing at first yes, but you should get the hang of it. The applecare representatives will/should take care of you.

  • Create ASM Disk Groups cannot see Disk Path to select during installation

    Hello Guys,
    I am setting up 2 node RAC on 11gR2 and Linux.
    I have configured all the pre-installation steps that are required to run Grid Setup as per my understanding.
    I have configure SAN partitions using multipath.
    I can see my SAN volume when i query multipath -l
    Then i configured the raw partitions by oracleasm. Configured and then created mount points:
    /dev/oracleasm/disks/
    CRSVOL1 DATAVOL1 FRAVOL1
    Later on I created the disks using oracle asm command:
    /usr/sbin/oracleasm createdisk CRSVOL1 /dev/mapper/racdbp1 and so on...
    I have run /usr/sbin/oracleasm scandisks
    Cleaning any stale ASM disks...
    Scanning system for ASM disks...
    And when i list disk with command /usr/sbin/oracleasm listdisks
    it shows the disk like this on both nodes:
    CRSVOL1
    DATAVOL1
    FRAVOL1
    BUT during the installation screen when it comes to create ASM Disk Groups It shows nothing in the add disk frame, I cant select the volumes I can list, like i did above.
    Any hint please?
    Thanks, Imran

    Thanks but my problem is very specific. I feel that i have performed all the necessary steps to get complete the step i discussed above. As per different commands all is set. But i am unable to see Disks and Disks Paths during the installation screen. This is another output to verify if the installe user have rights on the asm devices:

    Shut down your computer and disconnect all peripherals (keyboard & mouse if pertinent) from your computer.  Now reboot.
    If the Mac starts up normally, shut it down again and then plug in one of the peripherals (keyboard or mouse first) and start up your computer again.  If it does so successfully repeat the process, adding one peripheral at a time until your Mac acts up.  At that point, disconnect the last peripheral you added, reboot your Mac and search the peripheral vendor's website for an updated driver. 
    If no driver exists or the problem remain after installing the new driver, try a different cable or a different port on your Mac.
    If none of the above works, again disconnect all peripherals from your Mac, hold down the "shift" key to start up in "Safe Boot" mode. 
    If the Mac starts up correctly, restart without pressing the "shift" key.
    If your computer still does not start up properly, shut it down and restart it while holding down the Apple+Option-P-R keys; keep holding "all 4 keys" down until you hear the startup sound "twice."
    If none of the above work Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    (If Disk Utility cannot repair, you will need a stronger utility (3rd party) - Diskwarrior or Techtool PRO)
    Restart your computer when done.
    Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.
    Remove any 3rd party ram.
    Reinstall Leopard - This will install a "fresh" copy Leopard without archiving old system files but leaves the rest of your files in place.
    If you still want to restore your computer to factory level...
    Start up from your install disc, go to Disk Utility and select the disk and click erase - to securely erase data click Security Options and Erase Free Space which will entirely wipe your disk, overwriting it with zeros so that no data is recoverable.
    To restore read the instructions in the Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard - Installation and Setup Guide  PDF

  • CentOS installation keyboard locks when it shows language selection option

    I am trying to install CentOS 4.2 to test oracle RAC with low cost systems. I have Dell inspiron 530 desktop with Intel Pentium dual core E2180 2.0Ghz processor, 2GB memory and 320GB serial ATA disk drive. It has windows vista home preminum edition installed. I am following the note "Build Your Own Oracle RAC 10g Release 2 Cluster on Linux and FireWire" http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2.html
    When I start the CentOS 4.2 install it would show me the welcome screen, then 2 more command windows with lot of verification details, then it shows loading SCSI driver and then when it comes to Choose a language the keyboard gets disabled/locked. The keyboard does not work I had to power off the system to come out. The mouse also does not work.
    I have tried burning additional CDs for the CentOS software, I have tried CentOS 4.6, I have tried Enterprise Linux 4.7 from oracle site but all come up to the choose language selection and the keyboard does not work. I have USB keyboard and mouse. I have a KVM switch but I have tried without KVM switch, directly connecting the keyboard to the system, but no luck.
    When I tried selecting F2 during CentOS install firrst screen and entered linux noprobe (for disable hardware probing), it passed past the choose language option and allowed me to select keyboard type as US, Then installation method - as what type of media contains the packages to installed - local CDROM, hard drive, NFS image, FTP, HTTP. I have selected Local CDROM, then it showed driver not found and showed a list of drivers as select device driver to load. I am not sure what driver to select. How do I find out what driver to select? Since I am new to Linux install I am not sure if this works or I would be lost encountering more questions.
    I have seen one note in internet that linux has some isssues with USB keyboard and mouse and it can be fixed by using PS/2 keyboard and mouse. I need to use a USB ps/2 converter for that. Did any one try this?
    Any help on recommended fix is Appreciated. Is selecting linux noprobe during the install a good option? Is there any note or document available to install with linux noprobe? What is Linux noprobe? Can I select it for install without isssues? When it is showing the list of device drivers are they for the keyboard or some other device? (an example of the drivers shown are 2Ware 9000 series storage controller, Adaptec AHA-1522, VIA SATA Controller (Sata-via), Qlogic 1280 etc.)
    Thanks in advance.

    Try adding the Linux kernel bootparam "irqpoll" to the Anaconda installer's
    boot: linux irqpoll
    very first question. You may need to wait until you are asked for "extra arguments"; I can't remember what the exact prompt is.
    If this gets you through the install, you may need to add a similar clause to the kernel lines in "/boot/grub/grub.conf" on you installed system.

    2) Press and hold the Volume Down button (located on the right edge) until instructed to release in step 4.
    3) Press and hold the Power button (located on the top-right edge) until the device vibrates (approximately 2 seconds) then release.
    4) When the restore screen appears (exclamation mark), release the Volume Down button.
    5) From the restore screen, press then release the following keys to initiate the reset process:
    1. Volume Up button
    2. Volume Down button
    3. Power button

  • Selecting custom namespace during installation of Infrastructure

    I'm performing a new installation of Oracle Application Server Infrastructure and Middle Tier.
    I'm uncertain of what I should specify as my namespace during installation.
    Some information on my setup (changed names for posting):
    Server1:
    hostname: vadar.mycompany.com
    serving: Application server infrastructure
    Server2:
    hostname: ginger.mycompany.com
    serving: application sesrver middletier (portal)
    When installing the infrastructure it gives a suggested namespace of:
    dn=com, dn=mycompany, dn=vadar
    should i keep the default or change the namespace one level up to just dn=com,dn=mycompany?
    I was reading documentation online at:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32265_01/install.1014/b32091/infra.htm#BABEBIAE
    Which said:
    4.16 What Do I Enter in the "Specify Namespace in Internet Directory" Screen?
    The distinguished name (DN) that you specify on this screen will be designated as the namespace in Oracle Internet Directory where users and groups are administered.
    Select the suggested namespace if it meets your deployment requirements. If not, enter a DN that you want in the custom namespace field. The installer determines the suggested namespace from the /etc/hosts file. See Section 2.11, "The /etc/hosts File".
    If you plan to integrate your Oracle Identity Management components with a third-party directory, you should specify the DN of a namespace that matches the DN of the default namespace in the third-party directory. See the Oracle Internet Directory Administrator's Guide for details on integration with third-party directories.
    I am also running Active Directory and will be integrating the two. (myad.mycompany.com)
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    If noone really has a suggestion on the selection then can someone pointme in the direction of documentation on changing the namespace after the fact incase the original selection was incorrect?
    Thanks ahead of time.
