Trouble with installation on new HD

Hi guys,
I had a bit of a problem with my mac (grey screen, flashing question mark) so i bought a copy of 10.4.3 to boot from and reinstall as I has lost my original 10.2 disc that came with my mac. When i tried to install the installer couldn't see my hard drive and it couldn't be seen on the disk utility either. So I came to the conclusion that my HD had failed, I had everything pretty much backed up onto an external usb drive so this was not too much of a concern. I decided to install a new internal drive and install my new OSX onto that and start from scratch.
Again the OSX installer couldn't see my HD, but the disk utility could. So I had to erase the disk, restore it from the CD and finally the installer cuold see the HD and I was able to install. When the installer has finished the machine reboots.
Now it does not seem to be able to get past the grey screen with the apple and the rotating disc that indicates it is loading. I have left it on for hours and it does not seem able to get onto the desktop. How long should this be taking? Have I done something wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, that would solve the problem, though usually is unnecessary. I'm glad though you found a solution which works for you. If you ever run into this again, let us know, and we'll walk you through some other suggestions.

Trouble with installation of BO Edge 3.1

Hi,
Hope this is the right board.
We have some trouble with our Installation of BO Edge 3.1, so at first we will tell you which software we have already installed on our System:
1. Windows Server 2003 x64 Standard Edition on VMWare
2. BO Edge 3.1 with Tomcat
3. CrystalReports 2008
4. Microsoft Office 2003 (Excel only)
5. Xcelsius 2008
6. LiveOffice
7. Java Connector 2.1.8 (We did not find the %/Tomcat55/shared/lib% so we created the shared and lib folders and pasted the dll file)
8. Integration Kit 3.0 with troubles...
...we get the error that the CrystalExtension.dll can't register. To solve the Problem we try to register it manual by regsvr32. But it did not work (Error: LoadLibrary (path...) failed - The specified module could not be found.) In the board we found a notice that we can't use Integration Kit 3.0 with BO Edge 3.1. So we will download Integration Kit 3.1 from sdn but we don't know how we can install a *.war file on our System...
We can't open the CMC Site, we recieve the following error:
HTTP Status 404 - /CmcApp/
type Status report
message /CmcApp/
description The requested resource (/CmcApp/) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.20
Where is our mistake and how we can solve our problems?
Thank you for your support.

PS: Sorry for my english

Hi,
today I have uninstalled CrystalReports again and after this step I installed Integrataion Kit again.
And now I can login to the CMC. So the problem ist solved.

Troubles with installation of 9ifs

platform Windows NT4
after installation of 9iFS I do not manage any more to use iFS.
indeed I do not manage to launch the Oracle Console Management,
it launch out but disappear at once...
to install 9iFS I have to pass the patchset Oracle 8.1.7.2
(patchset
1882450) to migrate my base Oracle 8.1.7 into 8.1.7.2. this
installation works fine. On the other hand at the time of the
installation of 9iFS, during the checking of the variable of
environment of Oracle iFS, the following error occurred:
oracle.ifs.utils.action.ActionFailedException: the checking of
the
variable of environment CLASSPATH of oracle 9IFS failed, because
the
files or repertories following are not found:
e:/oracle/ora81/jlib/regexp.jar e:/oracle/ora81/jlib/oembase-
9_0_1.jar
e:/oracle/ora81/jlib/oemtools-9_0_1.jar
e:/oracle/ora81/ord/Annotator/lib/Annotator.jar
to be able to continue the installation of 9iFS, I allowed
myself to
put in comment these 4 following lines in the file
ifsclasspath.cl
which is in e:\oracle\ora81\9ifs\admin\cl
so, I could continue the installation of 9iFS, the migration of
the repository (a little long all the same) was carried out
without problem. On the other hand I do not arrive at launching
9iFS by the
Oracle console Management is there an other solution to
manage IFS (files .bat or other...)
I also have troubles with the service NT, Oracle
oracleEoraHome81ManagementServer, it is very long to launch out
and it
stops inopportunely...
I think that all my problems come to the fact that it miss the 4
files (oemtools-9_0_1.jar, oembase-9_0_1.jar, regexp.jar...)
Where I can find these files ? Is there anyone who could give me
these files ?
what do you think about it?
Thanks for helps.

Do you have binutils-2.11.90.0.8-13 patch installed on your system?

Hi,
Please check if the method Carl shared helps.
Based on my understanding, the error message might be related to the hardware. If the method doesn't help, as it is a VMware virtual machine, please contact VMware support for further investigation:

Problem with installation of new WRT160N

I am trying to install my new wireless router using the Linksys CD. When I get to the step that requires me to unplug the network cable from the computer and plug it into the router, my computer announces the cable is unplugged and I can't restore the connection. My computer has always required a reboot if the network cable is unplugged before it can be reconnected to the Internet.
The installation goes to step 4 where you plug in power to the router and will not proceed from that point. You can retry but to no avail. By then Network Magic is installed and my old connection software is disabled. When I troubleshoot with Network Magic it says the cable is not connected. I followed the directions to the letter. I double checked every connection. I tried several times after resetting the router each time. The only way I can connect to my ISP again is to uninstall Network Magic, remove the router, reconnect the network cable to the computer, and reboot.

I would suggest that you leave Network Magic uninstalled for now -- and try to set up the connection manually using the directions in the following links
Check one of these links depending on your type of service....
http://tinyurl.com/yhp6tew - set up a router with Cable ISP
http://tinyurl.com/qql7wx - set up a router with DSL ISP
and if you are setting up a wireless connection - http://tinyurl.com/y9re3nt -- Setting-Up Wireless Security on a Linksys Router
After the procedure(s) are done a correct power cycle may help -- turn off the PC, the Router and then the Modem (in that order) and then power them back on in reverse order and wait for the correct lights to settle before moving on to the next device
If you are still having problems you should check for a possible driver update for your network adaptor - check this in "Device Manager" if you are using a Windows PC
If you are still having the issue - a firmware version upgrade may be in order - but try the above suggestions first - and if you have to check back for more help, supply as much detail as possible such as...your operating system, type of ISP, type of adaptor in your PC (wired, or wireless G or N) and what you have tried so far and the results you received

Trouble with Ati cards - new with recent update.

Hi folks
I have been using Arch for > 3 yrs now and it has been a work horse. I installed it on kids computer over a year ago and has been trouble free. Recently I did a sync and since then the xorg started giving problems.
I have a Ati Radeon 7000 PCI video card on it. It worked with out any trouble till recently. Now it starts ok but every few seconds or so screen goes completely blank and then reappears. Nothing in the logs and no complaints even when I start xinit/startx from command line.
It appears as if monitor connection was loose if I did not know that was not a problem. It is most pronounced when ever there is a lot of screen refresh to do, such as a menu item sprang open a lot of submenus, a new window opened or closed and so on. However this is pretty much disabling because you can;t see anything on the screen for long enough to use it.
I tried changing the driver, installed Catalyst - eventhough catalyst works ok, it's resolution is lower and looks poor ? I tried removing all the usb peripherals and tried one by one with the same problem persisting. Installed a clean Arch on another partition and as soon as radeon driver was installed it started giving same problems. I tried latest puppy and despite installing radeon driver it still worked fine and did not flicker like Arch. However I don't like puppy for this purpose and hope to maintain Arch.
Is there a way of figuring out what causes these flickers and rectify it. I put PCI=nomsi on kernel command line to turn off kernel mode setting. Tried /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf with modesetting=off, tried removing stuff off from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/*. None of these made much difference.
Any help greatly appreciated.
sk

I kind of solved it for now.
Try " X -configure" to create a new xorg.conf.new file and move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and under the video card section put a
Option "NoAccel" "On"
At the least it is not driving me crazy with blinking and flickering.

Trouble with sound on new DVR only on playing Pandora Widget

I just got another DVR for our bedroom, already have one in Den. Only on the new DVR do I have the problem of no sound when I try to play songs on Pandora. The station comes up and all my choices are there and a song is playing by all indications but no sound. My other DVR that I've had works perfect. Called tech support and they rebooted my router and my DVR but no help. She said she would send this issue up the line LOL. Maybe someone here can tell me what is wrong?

I've got the same problem, with the same laptop - here's the bug report.

Trouble with installation of IDE

Hi!
I want to install an IDE. Everytime I start the installation routine of any, it keeps telling me there wasn�t any JVM found. I installed Java SDK 1.4.1 properly several times, it won�t work. Only BlueJ offered me to browse for the JVM and after giving it the right directory it worked. But I�d rather like to use Sun One Studio :/. So what to do? Ah, yes, I use Win2k and set the enviroment variables J2EE_HOME,JAVA_HOME and inserted the bin-path to PATH. Perhaps I set wrong directories?!
Whatever, could someone help me plz?
Thx
Andy

It really sucks... I just tried to deinstall the SDK in order to reinstall the new ver and to make even more sure, that I installed SDK. I started the deinstallation, a progress bar appeared, accelerated from 0 to 100 in some nanoseconds and closed. SDK is still there, as well on HD as in the registry. I can start the Deinstallation as often as I wish to, it�ll keep the same...

Trouble with installation. Need help

I have uninstalled and reinstalled 10 express on a Redhat Fedora Core 8 linux box. I cannot get it to connect to the get started page. Additionally, when I try to connect with SQLPLUS I get error message that Shared Memory Realm does not exist and Oracle is unavailable. TIA DG

Hi,
I think it is Ok for the installation, this problem you mentioned happened a lot in this forum,
you can fix it by start it up manually:
sql> connect sys as sysdba
startup;If not, you can try to restart the services at the sevices of linux OS page.
Peter
Maybe you cofigured it during installation not startup automatically when you start Fedora.

System Restore, trouble with installation

Hello,
I have searched and did not see this type of problem, if this is a duplicate post , sorry
I have never been to this group before and hope you can help, I will do my best to
discribe my problem.
I am working on a T61 for a friend
He messed it up and wanted to do a system restore, it did not work
He order the disks directly from Lenovo, he got a system restore, an add on, and 6 disks which I'm
assuming are the XP operating system.
I used the restore disk, first oddity
The instructions say I should be prompted for a few answers before beginning. I am not prompted,
but rather it just starts the restore, then prompts me to remove the disk and reboot.
Second oddity, when the pc boots, I get the 'ntldr is compressed message'
thanks to this group, I found the fix for this is to boot from a standard XP disk, then use restore console
to uncompress ntldr.
When I boot with my XP disk, I get to the prompt to run the restore console, when I press yes,
the system comes back with a 'no hard drive found' message.
I have run the hard disk verification utility in cmos, it reports no problems with the hard drive.
So, I am stuck at the ntldr is compressed message, I have done this procedure at least ten times, always
with the same result.
Any help would be great.
If this is not the correct place for this post, I'm sorry.

Hello TomH,
please refer to this clean install guide for XP.
You need to go into bios and turn hdd mode from AHCI to compatible, before installing from a XP cd.

Is anyone else having trouble with Rush's new auto Podcast system

Here is the message I just sent off to Rush limbaugh's web site. Sure hope that someone here in this disscussion form has the answer.
Thanks

Aloha:
I have been using your Podcast software for some time now and it has been working just fine. I download the daily shows and put them on my iPod Shuffle, to listen to what I might have missed in the morning, later in the day. it worked beautifully. I also download the daily videos to my new video pod - works great also!
I could hardly wait to try the new scheme of automatic down load to iTunes. I am not totally sure that had anything to do with all my following problems, but now iTunes has crashed several times and I can't even force it to shut off, I have to "Pull the plug" to get back control of my computer.
The shuffle, although it shows that the 3 daily hours are on it, will no longer play to my Bose headset. As I said I am not blaming your new system, but the coincidence is alarming. Have you heard of anyone else having these problems?
Thanks.

Troubles with installation

as a teacher at a audiovisual institute i bought adobe cs 6 mac nl. Unfort. it does not accept my number ( i uninstalled all my previous adobe's) what to do?

The product registered under the e-mail provided here has Design standard CS3, volume license, please check the installer, the download link might be under downloads in www.licensing.adobe.com under this Adobe ID.
There are chances that the installer is bad, do check the technical specifications too as old products are not that much compatible with upgraded Operating systems.
I was unable to find any CS6, do let me know the order number to investigate further.
