Trying to Install OS 10.4 - Can someone help?
I am trying to install a black DVD Mac OS X Tiger Version 10.4 that I received as a gift (person got tired of hearing me complaining about not able to used TurboTax with my present OS) on my 400 MHz PowerPC G4 (AGP graphics) that presently has Version 10.3.9 on it and I am having a problem with the installment.
Before I describe the problem here is a little more detail:
I have 512 MB memory and 13.31 GB available disc space and have unplugged the cable to my Zip drive.
Since my Mac did not come with an internal DVD Drive I purchased an external Sony DRX-830UL-T DVD/CD drive that is for Macintosh as well as for Windows OS. The DVD/CD has dual interface – iLINK/FireWire & USB2.0
The problem is that I cannot get the upgrade to work and I am wondering if anybody can assist me?
When I insert the DVD Mac OS X Tiger in my Sony drive it loads the install disc and I can see the “Install Mac OS X” icon as well as other items. When I click on the “Install Mac OS X” icon it goes to the Mac OS X Tiger screen with the Grey X and the words “Click the button below to restart your computer and begin the installation process”.
When I do that it restarts my computer and goes back to my login to 10.3.9 never starting the install process.
When I click on the “Optional Installs.mpkg” icon on the install disc it at least gets to the beginning of the installation but in comes back and states, “Mail cannot be installed on this computer. This software cannot be installed on this computer.” Even though I have Mail on my computer and it is functioning.
Is it a loss cause to try loading Tiger on my Mac G4?
OOPs, sorry, missed the Option key thing the first time you said it!
Some things to try...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s, if so try...
fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
Does it boot into Open Firmware with CMDOption+of ?

After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

i downloaded a couple text tones and since installing 8.1.1, they will not show up under the sounds tab. in fact, they do not show up in my recent purchases on itunes, but when i go to buy them again, it says that i have already bought this tone. I just want to use the tones i paid for as the tones on my phone. not asking much.... thanks for the help. i hope someone can help me get the tones working. thank you.
This was happening to me too but only for some of my songs. I have a mac so I dunno about PCs, but for most of my ringtones I had to create an ACC version in itunes to make them short enough then turn that into a m4r and those all worked fine. But if the song was already short enough and I didn't create an ACC version and just turned the original into a m4r, then it wouldn't appear in my itunes.
so if you're on a mac:
1. go to get info, options, pick when you want the song to start and end.
Has to be pretty short to work, 30 second or less is good
if it's already short enough that's fine
2. right click and click 'create ACC version'
a copy with the length you put in will appear, drag that into a folder or whatever and just type in m4r where m4a would be
still make an ACC version even if it's the right length
Hopefully this helps someone else. -
My iPad 1 has stopped working after trying to instal iOS 5. Can you help restore?
My iPad has stopped working after trying unsuccessfully to instal iOS5. All that's currently showing on the iPad screen is a white USB cable with a thick arrow pointing towards the iTunes logo (black double note within a white rimmed circle and a blue background).I cannot switch it off and have seemingly lost everything that was on it.
Please help!That means you have to restore the device with iTunes now. So connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and restore the iPad.

Trying to re-install iTunes and the message "Apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." But I don't know what to do? Please can someone help, I'm not the most technologically advanced person.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Hi,
Recently I got my Iphone unlocked. Earlier I was using it on ATT n/w. After unlock i am using it in India with a service provider here.
The problem that I am getting is, the phone was able to pick up the network and am able to make calls and messages. Data plan is still to be activated so cant confirm on that, but all the apps that were there on my phone got wiped out on its own. Since I wasnt sure as to what happend, so I reinstalled the apps today morning. I saw the apps getting installed and then left to get ready for my office. after nearly 30 mins I saw nothing was getting syncronized so disconnected the phone and left for Office. On reaching office when I checked for my usual Apps, I could see only the apple apps and none other available there. Need to know whats the issue and how to resolve it. Please can someone help me on this?I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where -

I deactivated Acrobat 9 Pro from a Windows 8 laptop and installed it on a new Windows 8 laptop and got the error message "Invalid Serial Number." I am entitled to this installation, can someone help?
I see that the number in my Adobe Account is a MAC serial number – I purchased both the Mac and Windows versions of the program. I tried to enter the serial number of the Windows version into my account and it says it’s already registered. But when I installed the Windows version on a Windows computer I got the invalid serial number message. They have two different serial numbers! Can you help me with this?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
