Trying to install from disc

I have already
1 - switched off "fast boot"
2 - gone into the BIOS and changed the boot priority to have ODD first and HDD last
3 - turning off "secure boot"
But every time I reboot the laptop Windows starts up!
I dont have anything on the laptop in question I want to keep, I just want to get rid of Windows and install Linux to see what its like.
Laptop in question has Windows 8.1 (pre-installed when I bought it)
Toshiba Satellite C50 A 19T
When I try to force to boot from the disk drive (hold F12) it comes up "Checking Media" [FAIL] and then boots Windows 8.1 again.
Does anyone know what I might be missing?

You may have to format the drive before it will boot and install properly, EUFI or W8 issue I don't know but I have had to format the drive on another computer before I could switch systems on W 8 machine hard drives.
It's because the GPT file system is in use.

Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit.

Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit. I tried it in
safe mode and it starts to install but get an error there as well.
What do I do?

So when you put the disk in it won't run correctly? When the disk is inserted you should have a window pop up with 2 options. 1 to install and the other to see what is on the disk. Choose to explore or open the disk. Go to the CS4 folder where the photoshop .exe file is (that will run the setup), right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin and it should start. See if it will install. If not then read below.
I am not sure how far you got in the install before so chances are you will have to run the CS4 cleanup utility. 2 levels to run at but don't use 1 or 2 just type in the number 3.

You may need to run the windows installer cleanup utility too
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Before you try to reinstall the software ensure that adobe reader is not installed. If it is remove it. It has caused issues in the past with vista and CS4 installs.
Also turn off windows Defender and any anti-virus software. You can keep UAC on in Windows 7.
During the CS4 install at 90 percent it will almost stop and may take 5 to 10 mins to finish. This is normal. What a pain huh......
After install is finished, reboot
After reboot, go to the CS4 64 bit or 32 bit icon (depends on 32 or 64 bit Windows 7) in start area, right click on CS4 64 bit (if you have windows 7 64 bit) and choose properties, compatibility tab and then check run as Admin at the bottom area. Hit apply, ok to close out.
Now start CS4 and run the updater.

Acrobat XI failed installation even after downloading program as well as trying to install from disc (Mac OS 10.10)

Hello,
Im trying to install acrobat XI on a macbook pro (OS 10.10) education edition
I received the verification code registered with a serial number etc.
However the installation keeps failing 'the installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
are there issues installing this with Mac OS 10.10?
hoping for the best

This issue is now resolved. The program told me that it failed on installation repeatedly - but in fact it did eventually work when I opened the document from the app folder. I guess that is the elaborate rigormorle that adobe wants its customers to undergo but am happy it now works.

Trying to install app disc on my New 2nd hand iMac july 2010 MC511B/A

When trying to install app disc on my new 2nd hand july 2010 MC511B/A get a message box showing OS X utilities, when choosing reinstall OS X get T&C's and then 2 options Recovery&Old Mac, Recovery option says locked, Old Mac option asks me to sign in on my @Apple ID, I do then nothing! tried just loading the 'Install discs (Applications & OS X) but no joy, though not sure if uninstall done correctly:(any idea's?

Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point.

MSI NF980-G65 freezes when trying to boot from disc

I just recently purchased and received an MSI NF980-G65 motherboard to work with my AMD Phenom II x6 1055T, but sadly I have had nothing but trouble.
So far the motherboard posts its bios and has the ability to detect any (and all) of my hard drives when I have them plugged in. The hard drive that has Windows installed on it currently informs me that I need to put in my Windows disc and run the repair utility, which makes sense since I was using a completely different motherboard and CPU before.
It is when I try to press any key to boot from disc that the problem arises. When I press a key on my keyboard while that prompt is on screen, the cursor jumps as if I had hit the tab key and does nothing further.
I have a total of three copies of Windows 7 at my disposal to use, two are DVDs I had burned from using my student discount to get them, and one set (32-bit and 64-bit) were in a retail copy of home premium, all of the discs performed the same action. I had tried using different SATA cables, different power adapters, and even different DVD players to try and remedy the situation.
The hard drive with windows is an IDE hard drive, but I have tried my other SATA hard drives just to be sure, none of which fixed the problem.
I have heard briefly about m-flash, but as far as I can tell, it would appear this new motherboard did come with the latest bios version (1.4).

For the boot, I have tried both setting up the DVD player as the initial boot, and I have tried just selecting it in the boot menu.
As per the posting guide, here are more specific information:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 2.8 GHz, 9.0 MB Total Cache, AM3 Socket
Motherboard: MSI NF980-G65 v. 1.2 bios (I'm going to try and flash this to a later now, I didn't know where to look for it before) , 601-7612-010B1004183389
RAM: G. Skill Ripjaw DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 2gb x 1 until I get this working, then it will be x4
Power Supply: Tagan BZ Series 700W
DVD: Samsung SH-S223 DVD burner with Lightscribe
HDD: Western Digital 250GB IDE drive

Tiger Installation Problems: Can't install from disc...continuous restarts

Attempting Tiger install on fairly old iMac (six years) ... the DVD player is caput, so I'm attempting to install with external DVD-ROM (Teac). Upon clicking the install icon, I get a message that asks me to restart to continue the process. Problem is once I restarted, nothing happened and I returned to the beginning. When I tried to restart (as instructed) while pressing the C key...nothing happened. When I tried to restart from the Tiger install disc, it wouldn't allow me to restart. I hit the key and get an error tone. None of the troubleshooting tips seem to apply to this situation. Is it the external drive? Is it my machine? Is it the install DVD 10.4.6? I'm out of ideas ...

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.1 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

I'd like to use iPhoto '09 with Lion. Tried to install from time machine back-up no go. Tried to install from iLife '09 DVD no go.

I'd like to run iPhoto '09 on Lion. Tried to install on Lion from Time Machine backup. Got message iPhoto won't work because of a missing Library file. Tried to install iPhoto '09 from iLife '09 DVD. Got message that it cannot be installed on my system. iMovie runs previous versions and iTunes runs previous versions.
Why can't iPhoto run on Lion? My wife has over 10,000 photos in her library and she's taken the time to sort them into folders. I've recovered the library with the folder sort but have to use it on an external drive with a Snow Leopard system on it. The latest iPhoto ('11) has no provision for organizing into folders. I'd really like to have everything in one place with one OS (Lion) and two iPhoto apps '09 and '11 and I suppose 2 photo libraries. I've been trying to resolve this ever since iPhoto '11 came out and I installed it. I can't begin to tell you how difficult it is to answer the question " Where are my folders?" brian25

I tried to check the Library setup on iMovie and iTunes. The iMovie Libraries seem to be part of the applications and my iTunes applications have become Russian so I have another problem. I tried to install iPhoto '09 again from my iLife '09 disk. When I selected "Custom Install" to load iPhoto only, the box I got said " A later version of this application is already installed" The iPhoto item which I would choose for a custom install says "skip". Yesterday I ignored this and went on with an install. The final screen said "Installation Successful" There was no iPhoto '09 on my hard drive. As far as I can tell, you cannot load iPhoto '09 from a Time Machine backup. There is no Lion compatable iPhoto '09 in the App store, and iPhoto '09 will not install onto Lion from the iLife '09 disk.I don't understand exactly what you mean by "load my backup and convert again" Do you mean go to the app store and access my purchases and re- download iPhoto '11 and reinstall it and re-convert my iPhoto library? I suppose what I should have done originally was to duplicate my iPhoto '09 library and put it on an external drive for safekeeping. Who knew it wouldn't install on Lion from Time Machine? When I downloaded iPhoto '!! from the app store I should have duplicated it and saved a copy to an external hard drive for safekeeping and then proceeded with installing iPhoto '11 on my hard drive.I suppose when the Thunderbolt concept is fully realized and monster Thunderbolt external droves are in common use this will seem a lot easier. I have rebuilt my iPhoto '09 library and have it on a hard disk that has a bootable copy of Snow Leopard and a working copy of iPhoto '09 also. I think you are telling me to reinstall iPhoto '11 on my internal hard drive and reconvert the iPhoto library used by iPhoto '11. Right? brian25

Trying to Boot from Disc, CD Drive Keeps Ejecting It

I have a PowerPC G5 with OSX 10.4.11. I am looking to sell it since I am using a MBP now, but I'd like to wipe the hard drive. I have the 10.3 installation disc it came with, along with a 10.4 Tiger disc. I have tried to reboot and press C, only to have the discs get ejected every time.
I have heard people say this is because the CD/DVD drive is malfunctioning or that the disc is scratched, but I am able to open PDF files on both the 10.3 and Tiger discs (My MBP can also read the disc). The CD/DVD drive seems to work normally, as I put a DVD movie in and it played. I even tried my Snow Leopard disc that came with my MBP in the G5 and that still caused it to eject the disc.
While I understand the claim that the optical drive is malfuntioning, the fact that I am reading files on these discs plus getting other discs to play confuses me.
Is there a way to keep these **** boot CDs from being ejected? All I want to to is wipe my hard drive!

"I have the 10.3 installation disc it came with, along with a 10.4 Tiger disc. I have tried to reboot and press C, only to have the discs get ejected every time."
When you refer to "a 10.4 Tiger disc," do you mean a Restore disk for another model mac? Keep in mind that most OS Restore disks for other PowerPC Macs (even if the OS version is the same) and all Restore disks for the newer, Intel-based Macs will normally eject, when trying to boot a PowerPC processor-based Mac (such as a G5) from them. Try holding down the "X" key, when starting up the computer from the original 10.3 installation disk.

Internal Error 2842 when trying to install from CD

I am running Windows 7 and had it corrupted recently. I reinstalled Win7 and had to reinstall all of my stuff. Everything works fine. When I went to reinstall my Palm Tungsten E2 from disc, I get 'Internal Error 2842' and can't continue.
Any ideas???
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

i found out how to fix it.....the error happens on windows vista 32 and 64 bit computers.... you can fix by going to your "command prompt" (found in accessories or just type in the search bar) and DONT CLICK. you have to first right click and pretty "Run as Administrator" and then a window will come up with stuff on top but the last few words should say "C:\Windows\System32>" and then type right after
"regsvr32 jscript.dll" and yes there is a space between
regsvr32 and jscript and hten simply press enter on your keyboard and run the install again

Creative suite 6 install says genuine software verification failure when trying to install from a genuine disk

When trying to install a genuine copy of creative suite 6 from disk, i keep getting the message that the verification failed and that the copy is counterfeit.

Hello sonic3,
please try to use download function from there: http://helpx.adobe.com/de/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
and use your serial numbers aso. from your disk.
Maybe it's necessary to delete first all the rudiments from your former installations.

Why do I get the message "The installer requires admin priviledges to run" when trying to install from a DVD?

I am trying to install software from a DVD on my Mac Mini, When I click on the installer I get the message "The installer requires admin priviledges to run." I have admin priviledges when I look at the account info in Sytem Preferences. ANyone have an idea what to do about this?

It's a defective installer. If it needs elevated privileges to run, it should prompt for an administrator password. Since the installer is defective, you can assume that whatever it installs -- or would install, if it worked -- is also defective.

Booting from disc vs erase and install from disc

I need to erase and install.
I need the cleanest installation. I was thing about "erase and install" from the disc.
I know some people like to boot from the disc.
What is best?
Thanks.

To do an erase & install, you'll have to boot from the disc.
 Cheers, Tom

Trying to install from FTP from boot disk with wireless card

Well my card uses wlan-ng, but the bootdisk doesn't have that file. I also tried Prism54 (my card is a Netgear MA311 that is apparently a Prism 2)
http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showp … 36&cat=149
I tried manually putting in the IP address, netmask, gateway, and DNS server, but I still have to put in the WEP key, but it doesn't ask me for the WEP key. So I'm sort of troubled here. I want to install from FTP so I can get updated packages much more easily. Thanks in advance. I promise, one day when I become a Linux genius, I will help out other newbies like me.

RaDeuX wrote:Okay, so I gave up the FTP install and installed Arch base. However, Ubuntu isn't letting me update grub through the terminal.

I'm still digging through stuff to find the grub configuration file.
Do I understand you correctly? You have installed Arch and now wish to edit the grub config file, menu.lst, which is on an Ubuntu partition so that you can add your Arch install to it? If you mean something else, please clarify. My answer would be, you do need to get superuser rights under Ubuntu - use 'sudo'. This is very easy with mc: do 'sudo mc', enter your password when prompted, navigate to the file and then edit it using the built-in editor.
