Toubles installing version 10 and more
I was given this Imac 400mhz,bumped up the ram to 512 and left the other slot empty been having trouble ever since with locking up when idle for a few minutes.So I thought I would change to a newer operating system than 9.1 got my hands on an early version of 10.I think it is 10.1.8 but none the less it locks up during installation and now when booting off the disk it dosnt reconize I have a hardrive at all.Now I cant get outa of the install and go back to 9.1 because the disk was formatted and therefore I can not eject the disk.Thanks to all that answer this question on what I should do next.If I can get the disk out then I will go back to the old ram and try this procedure again without the 512 stick in.
Forgive me if you already know this, but it is so critical I thought I would point it out. There is a firmware update required for the iMac. This is essential before any attempt is made to install X.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
The problem is that you need to boot the iMac to install the firmware update. In other words you need a bootable OS 8 or 9 CD. In order to install them, you must start up the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk (not from a CD).

This message appeared in the last 2 weeks. I was traveling and using a variety of internet portals. But it's still appearing now that I'm home, so that probably is not a factor. I have Firefox set for auto download/install of updates.
Firefox 3.6.16 has a newer build and release date than Firefox 4.0 does.

RMI registry weirdness, API versioning, and more
Hi folks,
I have some RMI questions. I'd like to start by giving background on the software and our intentions with RMI.
Our software is a molecular biology analysis and simulation tool. Since the technology is very proprietary, we've used RMI to split the Java software into a front-end GUI client that that's distributed to users and a back-end server that makes use of our in-house C++ tools.
At the moment our user base is small, mostly a handful of academic researchers, but even with these few releases are getting difficult to manage. The problem, of course, is that when the server back-end is upgraded, if any serializable or remotable APIs are changed, the user must also upgrade their client. Our users have made it clear that this is an unacceptable inconvenience, and since we frequently push new feature-filled releases, its difficult to keep the APIs stable. Additionally, 40% of the original code base is absolute tripe, the inflexible, ill-thought, and monolithic work of a contractor who was at at deadline and had to 'just get the job done'. With only two developers (one of them part-time), we are forced to rewrite portions of this old code in small spurts as most of our time is taken up either adding features or working on the C++ tools. In short, there's simply no way we can stabilize our APIs at this time.
My first (perhaps naive) solution was simple: the client/server pair are built with a common API version number that is incremented each time the API of a serializable or remotable API must be changed for a new release. This version number is appended to the RMI URI for the server. For example, when using API version 13, if the back-end service is told to listen on the following URI:
//remote.mycompany.com/myobject
...the back-end would implicitly bind to...
//remote.mycompany.com/myobject-13
Since the client and server are built with the same API version, the client knows to append -13 to whatever URI the user specifies to connect to a back-end with a compatible API. This lets the user think they're connecting to the 'usual' URI, but allows us to run servers with varying APIs concurrently on the same physical machine, thus our users can upgrade at their leisure and we can push new releases whenever we please.
I prefer this solution because its very non-intrusive code-wise and allows us developers complete freedom, but it seems prone to subtle problems. We have three releases (hence three servers) and clients are able to function initially, but eventually they start reporting not-bound and class UID/checksum errors - exactly what this system is supposed to prevent. The three services appear to work when started initially but fail sporadically after some period of time. It seems to me that the RMI registry is getting confused when deciding which classes from which service should be sent to which client.
I should note that rmiregistry requires us to pass in the path to our classes to its JVM (with -J) or it throws NoClassDefFoundError errors when a client connects to the back-end service (if memory serves, our logger is the offending class, so perhaps the registry is executing a static initializer that prints log messages or something). We only pass in the path to one set of classes right now (the oldest of our API revisions). I'm not sure if passing all three would help, but I don't see how it would, and I really don't have the time to experiment. Interestingly, this class path requirement only started happening a few weeks ago - previously rmiregistry didn't seem to care where our logging classes were. I'm not sure if this is contributing to the concurrency problem stated above, but if there's reasonable suspicion I'm more than happy to figure out why this is happening. Also, I remember reading on some web site that setting the rmiregistry class path with -J could cause other strange problems relating to RMI stubs, so could this be a likely suspect? I wish I was more familiar with the guts of RMI as to know what's going on in the registry. Should I be seeing such problems when binding multiple versions of the same class instance?
I suppose I'd really like, aside from the informed opinions and suggestions of experienced Java programmers, is an architectural overview of the RMI implementation so I can answer these questions myself, but I haven't found anything in that vein. Ideally I'd like to look at the code for the RMI implementation. Is this possible? I'm not 'hip' to Sun's code sharing policies, what portions of their code base they open up if any. Can anyone offer any hints?
We did come up with some other possible solutions for the API versioning problem. Dynamic class loading via HTTP in particular is my next best hope. Tentatively speaking, it seems that this would help minimize API breakage so long as modifications are limited to adding elements to the API and not removing them. It seems to me that allowing users to download classes at runtime would allow us developers more flexibility, even though users would be forced to upgrade every once in a while, albeit less frequently than they otherwise would.
Also considered was a separate tool for automated management of the client software, i.e., an auto-update utility. I'd rather not go down this path; I think it would annoy our users, and our two-man development team is busy enough without worrying about more cruft.
Any additional suggestions are welcome, as is any insight into the Sun's RMI implementation. Advice, links to documentation, "hey stupid, google for <somthing obvious>" would be appreciated.
Cheers :-)
-Nickor you could buy mine (http://www.rmiproxy.com/javarmi), but I'll give you three tips:
(1) If possible don't change existing interfaces, just extend them, i.e. version them by extending them:
public interface MyRemoteVersion1 extends Remote {}
public inteface MyRemoteVersion2 extends MyRemoteVersion1 {}This way old clients can still use the old services even if they receive a newer stub.
(2) Do the same with the implementations, and load & register both, with different names as ou are doing. Don't use the same class name for a new version otherwise you will confuse the class loader. Altneratively you could use different class loaders for teh different versions to keep them separate, but that's a large can of worms.
(3) Ignore your feelings about the code base. It's installed out there and it's a product now, you just have to live with it unless you can instaneously upgrade all your clients, which you can't. You will probably always have a client running the original version for reasons entirely beyond your control.
(4) Do use the codebase feature if you possibly can. Don't install anything at a client that it could get via a codebase, e.g. stubs. The only thing that clients should need is the remote interfaces and the the true client code.
(5) Make sure every version of every marshalled class has the same setversionuid and make sure that this is there from the beginning. Make sure you only evolve these classes in ways which will be compatible under serialization - see the spec.
Good luck

Cannot uninstall or install iTunes and more...
I cannot uninstall or install the latest version of iTunes, and I cannot activate itTunes via the desktop shortcut. When I try, it says that the application is only available for installed products, even though iTunes is installed on my computer. Anybody else have this problem?
I cannot uninstall or install the latest version of iTunes, and I cannot activate itTunes via the desktop shortcut. When I try, it says that the application is only available for installed products
with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:

now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time? -
Oracle install questions and more....
Hi
I am use to Oracle 7. I just downloaded *i from internet. On Oracle 8i personnal where are the Designer and Developer? How do I get to them.
Where do I get the password for SQL plus?
I have installed and deinstalled this 4 times thinking it did not install right. Now when i install it still has the old database names in it. I click on database, it goes to does type screen flashes (if you look quickly) Run time error. Then comes up with a small window. ora 001034 or 001131? invalid password.
I have uninstalled all products. I deleted Oracle directory and the old autoexec.bat. Did I for get anything? It said in install that there were 74 products. Is that the right amout for typical?
Sid
nulldear sidney,
up to my best knowledge personnal oracle 8i is having only database,like personnal oracle7 its not having application development tool's like developer/2000 with it.for getting forms,reports,menu's etc.you will be in need to install them separately.
For getting password for sqlplus,two passwords for superuser are provided by default that is "system" having passwd "manager" and "sys".Same way there is one default user "scott" having passwd "tiger".If you will connect through "system" than you can create other user's by any name by command
"create user xyz identified by passwd;"
after that you can grant him previledges
by command
"grant connect,resources,dba to xyz"
if you will grant dba to any user than he will also be having all right's of superuser
like dba user "system".

Every time I log on, Firefox states that I am using the older version, and that I need to update to the 4.0, though today I saw something that said 7.0 so wasn't sure what that was about. Anyway, my program states upon the install, "Save Program". So I do and then it still doesn't take effect. Now your site states that the 3.6 will soon be no longer available for updates etc, but you new version never loads or takes effect??? Help please. I love firefox and feel much safer using this than anything in the past! Thanks in advance. I am old, but a novice at computers. So, laymen terms appreciated. Yours truly, Norine Mungo
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
* Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I am running Firefox 4.0 version, but for some reason, it tries to download updates and then gets stuck on trying to connect to the update server. This has been happening the past few days. When I close the update, I can proceed in Firefox without incident (that I know of).
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)

You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.

Lorem and more not working in CS4
whats the deal? It worked fine in CS3. I purchased a suite for CS4, so I did the CS3 clean procedure, installed the suite and then installed Lorem and More thru CS4 ext manager. it will work once if I select any option other than lorem ipsum text and select continuos with no character amount. It will not work again until DW is restarted, then only once. Other wise it will pop up and let you make your choices then do nothing when you hit ok. I emailed the support address on the authors site, and got a response of "it works on m y machine with cs4, cant help you". Anyone else experience this? How did you resolve it? I use this extension a LOT and would hate to be without it.
Tryed it out for you but works fine on my cs4 as well. You see this more often with extensions that copy files into the sites root folder and are only willing to do that once until restarted. I can't imagine why it's not working, sorry. I tryed to repackage the extension under a different name, no clue to wheater it helps though (see attachment).

How do I download and install version 6.21.0.104?
I hate these "downloaders" because they always fail, no one ever provides an offline installer anymore, most likely because they want to prevent people from being able to archive an old version for use later when the company like Skype/Microsoft decides to screw all it's users by deleting older versions from downloading. I tried to use http://filehippo.com/download_skype/58884/ , but it didn't work. I am tired of using the new skype because I realize the skype developers refuse to listen to the community when they keep saying that they don't want to use a phone style skype on their computers. As it is right now, every single action line ( /me post ) is centered, and takes up 3 entire lines even if it's a one liner.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Vas pokes at

Click Here for Fullview-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now then. I need to know how to download and install that version of skype because it was the last good release that Skype devs ever released. Likely the last good release they'll ever release. Unless they decide to listen to the community at all. I don't mind some change, but making the chat take more and more space without giving users an option is not ok. I also need to know how to make it so that the update thing doesn't pop up every 12 hours begging me to downgrade my skype to 7.#.
Click Here for FullviewIf Skype developers are going to consider anything from my post, consider making an option to revert text chat area of the application to what it was like in 6.21, including /me style things so that users can role play and talk in a nice normal messenger style tool. Also, would be nice to have a simple option to click in order to disable *bold*, because people don't want to go find some god forsaken file hidden somewhere on the hard drive to edit it and change one line somewhere in it from a one to a zero or whatever I did ages ago that I can no longer remember now.Buummmpppppp!

I want to upgrade my Hard Drive to 1TB and more.
What is the maximun Hard Drive I can install for a MacBook Pro 2009
Yesterday, I tried a SEAGATE SSHD but my screen was always a showing a QUESTION MARK (?). It's not the cable because when I put back the old original version, everything works...Any sugestion of brabnding or procédure to upgrade my hard drive?The largest 2.5" dia SATA drives available are 2 TB in capacity.
Have you tried the Seagate SSHD connected externally to the MBP via USB? The drive itself may be faulty.
Ciao.

I have used Photoshop 5.5 for years and it is all I need and more. I bought a new PC with Win 7 and tried loading my Photoshop 5.5 CD. It won't work because it is 16-bit, the new computer is 64-bit. Can I buy a 64-bit version of Photoshop 5.5?
Hi,
You actually tried to install photoshop 5.5 and got the message about it being 16 bit?
(usually it's only the installer that is 16 bit and the actual program is 32 bit)
Photoshop 5.5 should work on windows 7 x64 if you don't have more than 1 TB of free space on your hard drive.
Your sure it's photoshop 5.5 and not an earlier photoshop version.
You might try copying the folder that says photoshop off the cd onto your hard drive and then running the Setup.exe
Anyway, check how much free space your hard drive has and if it's more than 1 TB, then no use trying to use photoshop 5.5 because it won't work.
(photoshop versions before photoshop cs can't see free space on hard drives if it's more than 1 TB and would give a scratch disk full message if you try to run them) -
Hello. Since accepting the upgrade to the current version of I Tunes (11.4) I have been unable to get the application to boot. I receive the message that I Tunes was not installed correctly and Error 7 (Windows Error 193). I have uninstalled/reinstalled I Tunes several times and this has not resolved the issue. I also uninstalled/reinstalled Microsoft.net Framework 4 since this was suggested by Apple support. This also has not resolved the issue.
When I reinstall I Tunes, I get a message that the “Service ‘apple mobile device’ failed to start.” Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services. I attempted to manually start the Apple Mobile Device service but get a pop up stating, “Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.”Unsure what I should try next.For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.
In your case I suggest you start with a clean download of the setup file using the direct link. If reinstalling AMDS alone doesn't work try tearing everything down again.

If i install a new version of itunes, will it erase my current version and data?
I am trying to set up my new iphone 5. i always get msgs from icloud that i have too much data so i have to purchase more space, so i have to restore from itunes backup. i just backed up my iphone 4 to itunes, and itunes says it's updated - there are no other updates - however it says it's itunes 10.6.3 is the current version. my new phone is telling me that i need to use itunes 10.7 or later and that I have to download it from itunes.com.
I just downloaded it but i am afraid to install it for fear that it will erase my data from my iphone 4.
help!!You don't say which operating system version you are running, nor which very specific computer model you have, both of which are needed to come up with a solution. Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
For an iPhone5 you will need iTunes 10.7. That requires you be running OSX 10.6.8 or greater. Old Macs cannot run OSX 10.6.8. Something reporting you are up to date while running iTunes 10.6.3 might be one of those Macs and you may have to buy a new computer to use your iPhone5. Once we know the information I requested we can tell for sure.
Installing a new iTunes should not affect the current content. That said, there are monthly reports here from some unlucky person who claims running an update erased their content. You should always (even when not doing updates) back up your computer. Some day your hard drive will unexpectedly die and all your computer content will be lost. Definitely back up before doing updates and you don't have to worry.
