TIGER/POWERBOOK 12" G4 - erase and install problems. please help..

Hello,
I have a powerbook g4 (the last of the powerbook 12"/ 80gb/1.5ghz to be released) with tiger installed.
I have had a a crash x 2 when doing software updates. So I managed to get it going, to then back up to an external drive - to do an erase and install.
Once I went to do the erase and install it failed, so I tried again and it seems to have done the erase. now my actual HD isn't visible as the select detination to install?
So, I can't actually even attempt to install with no destination.
any help would be most appreciated.
thankyou

Unfortunately, it seems as if your HDD has failed. Try booting from the install disk, the go to the Utilities menu and launch Disk Utility. If the HDD shows up in the sidebar, you should reformat it. (Directions below). If it does not show up, you need to replace the HDD. Post back for a list of available HDDs and vendors, step by step directions and additional tips.
If your HDD shows up follow these directions to reformat and erase:
Formatting, Partitioning Erasing a Hard Disk Drive

Boot from the install CD holding down the "C" key.
Select language
• Go to the Utilities menu (Tiger) Installer menu (Panther & earlier) and launch Disk Utility.
• Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
• Select Partition tab in main panel. (You are about to create a single partition volume.)
• Click on Options button
• Select Apple Partition Map (PPC Macs) or GUID Partition Table (Intel Macs)
• Click OK

Erase and Install problems after fixing 10.4.5 update issues

Initially, I had permission issues after upgrading to 10.4.5. After hours of reconfiguring user accounts, I thought that maybe the best overall solution would be to erase and reinstall Tiger. I am an old PC user so reformatting the hard drive can be a logical answer.
I backed up all of files and ran disk utility and erased with the "0s" option. I am using my install disc of 10.4.2. I have tried several start modes, single-user, C, Option, verbose and still run into the same problem. The installation does not go beyond verifying the drive to install it on. I have tried some steps in the disk utility.
I know that there is probably a command line to get the installation disc to recognize the hard drive but I am not experienced in Unix commands.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am in an endless circle of starting, quitting, and restarting the installation just to get to Disk Utility. So far I have not had any problems with Macs or with Tiger. I am a Mac convert.
Thank you very much.

Don't know what exactly fixed it, but a few weeks down the line and several random updates later (10.4.4, Quicktime, various apps) I tried the speakers again and they are working fine - the system recognises them, alerts work fine etc.

Replacing the HDD and installing leopard (PLEASE HELP)!!!

hi there,
i currently have a macbook that has just gone out of warranty. i bought a new HDD from WD, installed tiger (using the original discs that come with the mac) and then installed leopard. it seemed to be working fine (apart from a few keyboard buttons playing up), until less than 2 weeks of doing this, the hard drive crashed out on me. i was absolutely gutted! mainly due to the fact a lot of the files i copied over and new ones had gone. i put in the original HDD (which i left as it was) and it worked as normal. i have now received a new HDD from WD and am about to install it along with 2 x 1GB RAM sticks.
i have no problems installing the HDD again or the RAM. the only concerns are, when selecting the new HDD when previously installing it, i lost out on about 30GB of memory (10GB after formatting, 15GB after installing tiger & 5GB after installing leopard). that's about a quarter of my HDD gone. i would have installed leopard clean but i wanted ilife '06 that came with tiger.
is there a way to install leopard clean and then install just ilife '06 by itself from the installation discs, so i can save some space on the new HDD?
if anyone can help i would be so grateful, thanks, ravi.

Install Leopard by itself. Do not install Tiger. When you do your Leopard install watch the lower left corner of the install screen and when you see custom click it. That way you can choose not to include all the printer drivers and language files. That will knock off a few gig.
Once Leopard is running insert your 1st install disk. Once it opens choose the install bundled software choice. Once it is open you can do a custom install and put just what you want back on your MacBook. That way you don't get all the extras.

PLEASE HELP IT IS URGENTLY,CAUSE I HAVE TO WORK TO MY SCHOOL
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
Thank you

At the first thank you for your reply.

How system knows which one from two Masters HDD is System disk?from Boot menu?
Is some page on the web where can I find closer explain of IDE (SATA) settings for MB MSI?
Sorry for questions,but I am working at the first time with SATA disk

The update and other problems PLEASE HELP!!!

The ovi store on my phone asked me to download the newer version which I did, is there an update for ovistore on the computer because I haven't heard about it if there is one and it may solve the problems I have been having with it:
1. I don't receive the messages when trying to get an app
2. It wont let me down load apps when I connect my phone to the computer
(also on the nokia website it told me to click the download and install button to get an app when plugged into the computer but I can't find it..Any ideas where it is???)
please help i've had this problem since I first set up my account and its really bugging me now!!!!!!

(Apologies for barging in Steve.)
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80071A91, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

Movies and Audio Problem - PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Hi,
If I am working on the music for a movie file i sometimes open a new project with no global tracks, so as i can focus on the music, when i then choose to open the movie and see what the music sounds like with the movie all is fine..... until i stop the movie. If the movie is not playing or doesnt have the volume slider raised high (on the movie window), no sound is heard when i press a key on my midi keyboard. This means i can only come up with ideas when the movie is playing. If i close the movie and/or the global tracks, the problem remains the same. I have to close logic an reopen it in order for me to hear any sounds (audio tracks and midi). Any advice or help would be great as this is really frustrating me. Thanks, Ben

I use Logic Plug ins and Korg/Steinberg plug ins. I have a multi instrument set up in my environment for an external Korg Trinity Keyboard. It is no longer connected as it was too difficult to control program changes etc and recording in audio takes too long for me. This many be the problem??? Maybe i could remove the multi and see if this helps. I am thinking of re-connecting the Korg to my computer but am not sure if it will cause more problems. Any advice? Thanks... Ben

Itunes connection and Passcode problem (Please Help!!)

So, my computer recently was broken beyond repair.. so when I got a new computer and redownloaded itunes i tried to connect my itouch to charge it and i noticed it said "Itunes cannot open ipod in library please imput password on ipod" I never put a password on it... aparently one of my friends did. So I was being a total DA and attempted to guess the password too many times now the ipod's disabled untill i can connect to itunes and itunes wont let me connect untill I get the password, I'm at a total loss please help!

You need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then connect it to your new computer and restore it via iTunes. Note that you will lose all content on the iPod. You can redownload apps at no additional cost provided you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.

8.1.6 and designer 6i post install problem - please help

Hello all,
I installed designer following the install guide extremely closely. The install went off without a hitch. However, when I try to create and ERD, or any diagram, I receive this error:
Message
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("REPOS_OWNER"."I$SDD_DIAGRAM_SEGMENTS"."IRID")
Message
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("REPOS_OWNER"."I$SDD_DIAGRAM_SEGMENTS"."IRID")
Message
RME-02124: Failed to execute SQL statement: insert into I$SDD_DIAGRAM_SEGMENTS (DIAGRAM_REF, SEQUENCE, GRAPHICAL_DATA, PARENT_IVID, PAC_REF) values (:diag_id, :seq, :data, :diag_ivid, :diag_id)
I'm fairly new to Oracle but I did have designer 6.0 working on 8.1.5.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Damon

The same happened to me. It turns out that it had something to do with old windows registry entries that let the repository install program know that I had designer 6.0 previously installed on my system. The install apparently isn't wise enough to know that it is installing 6i. It checks the registry for the first Designer version identified and decides what repository components you need based on that. 6i uses the standard repository components (6.0 versions) and some new stuff.
If you read your install documentation carefully (Chapter 2, Step 14, Item 2), you will note that you need to select two components to install. If the repository
admin utility is <prior-version-aware> it neglect to even display one of those options and its easy to blow right past that screen without realizing something is amiss (that's what I did ;-P ).
Hope this gets you going,
As with any Oracle product install

How can i wipe out all the Logic existence from my computer to make new install ?
Or, what is this problem i am having? As installation is not asking some discs which is necessary for the setup anymore .
Did anyone experienced that ?
I will be very happy if someone can assist on me this . Since 5 hours i am trying to setup this thing .
Thanks a lot

it is very frustrating to see such an installation problem happening from a "professional" called DAW .
I am actually a Protools user , and i have never had this type of complications .
I mean come on, i am just trying to install the thing .
On a new system, on a new computer and from an original purchase .
I believe i have enough computer knowledge to instal a simple software .
But i am spending almost 10 hours since yesterday to install Logic .
Instead of making designer boxes or giving fancy advertisements, i am inviting Apple Engineers to create proper working software .
Especially to see a professional audio software like Logic in this epic fall, is very very bad .
I mean you can say i am problematic and don't know how to instal a simple software, but than please write to google, Logic installation problems , and you will see thousands of issues .
Whatever i am writing here not against to the people who are replying and want to help , i just want Apple to read this .
Ah , i am sure Apple won't put attention on it , but doesn't matter .
You just lost 1 customer for Logic
I am erasing this thing now from my computer and continue with Protools as the way i was doing .
Sorry if i am bitter, but this is not acceptable .

Iphone 4s and iPhoto problem - please help me!!

Hi there
I have searched the discussion boards for an answer to my problem, but cant find one yet.
I have a brand new imac with Mavericks installed and up to date. My iphoto is the latest one according to the app store and I have ios7.0.3 on my iphone 4s.
I have about 300 photos on the iphone and i connected to the imac with a usb cable and it appeared as though all the photos were imported in the usual way, so i agreed to delete them off the iphone when prompted to do so.
However, the events for the appropriate dates have been created, but they are grey and all claim to have 0 photos in them.
When I look at last import, it says that the last import was the import I did a few days ago and appears to ignore the one I have just done.
Please can anyon help me find where my photos are in a simple way. I am getting very cross and frustrated. I have used macs for 7 years with no problems until this.
I would also add that my iphoto is very slow and regularly stops responding so that I have to force quit.
Help appreciated!
Thanks a lot
Nick

Thanks to LarryHN and Old Toad, my problems are nearly over, I hope.
I did the repair and, thankfully, my missing photos are back.
However, I now have about 100 photos which are on my iPhone 4s camera roll and when I plug the phone in, it says that it has already imported them, but I can't find them in iPhoto!
I can see the pictures on the mac when the phone is plugged in and I look on the iphone, but I cant see where they are.
Do you think that having photostream has complicated matters at all?
Also, why does the photo stream on my phone (and ipad) show more photos than the photostream folder fir Nov 2013 in iphoto? Is there a delay in appearing in iphoto?
Finally, about 3 out of 5 times, iphoto becomes really slow and stops responding, requiring a force quit. Any ideas why this is and how to fix it?
THis is a great forum, thanks to everyone for help so far.

ITunes 9.2 + install problems please help.

hi guys i recently bought a new laptop and when i try to install itunes 9.2 or higher it shows an error.
error writing to file: C:\program files (x86)\commonfiles\apple\mobile device support\ssleay32.dll. verify that you have access to that directory.
i really need itunes because i recently bought an ipod touch and i cant sync it to get any songs
any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

error writing to file: C:\program files (x86)\commonfiles\apple\mobile device support\ssleay32.dll. verify that you have access to that directory.
That's consistent with disk/file damage, tame.
Let's try running a disk check over your C drive. There's Windows 7 instructions in the following document. Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
[How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)|http://www.w7forums.com/use-chkdsk-check-disk-t448.html]
Does the disk check find/repair any damage? If so, try another iTunes install. Does the install go through without the error this time?
