Update disc problems

I put a disc in to update my MacBook Pro, but it doesnt seem to get anything and I dont know how to eject the disc because it doesnt work.
what should I do?

Your HDD is failing and needs to be replaced. Back up your data immediately, as Kappy stated. Bring your machine into Apple for a HDD replacement, or you can save money via DIY. Best of luck.

10.4.11 combo update install problem

Has anyone else had trouble installing the combo update from 10.4 to 10.4.11?? Mine almost finishes and says it encounters an unknown error and cannot finish the install. Says it moves the update to trash and says try again from the finder...
HELP!!

Updating
Certain steps appear to minimize the risk of an update producing problems.
Number one is to make sure you have a bootable clone backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the only guaranteed way of not having to worry about the results of an update.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk.

[Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.

[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
The more cautious even like to unplug third party peripherals (see [comment by BDaqua|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9040746#9040746]).
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned (e.g., [Permissons repair|http://www.macworld.com/article/52220-3/2006/08/repairpermissions.html] as to necessity. Probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe?

Adobe CS3.3 update discs will not read

I have a brand new iMac running 10.5.2 and the update discs for CS3.3 design standard (from CS2) will not even read in the computer. I've tried three different sets of software and not one disc in any pack will even show up in the computer. Other discs (music, software and dvd movies) show up with no problem. I called tech support and received a new set of discs today. same problem. please help.

Buy a firewire DVD drive and get back to work. I have a new iMac and use a LaCie Porsche external DVD drive since it is faster and frankly a lot easier to use on the desktop than the slot is.

IBook (Powerbook 6,7) 10.4 disc problems

My mother got this computer, the iBook 14" registered as PowerBook 6,7 running 10.4 with 1 GB RAM.
From the beginning we've had issues with the hard-drive, so I changed the drive (brand new) then we had issues installing 10.4, got various issues, such as the computer wasn't good enough for 10.4, problems upgrading from 10.4.3 to 10.4.11 (for a long time etc.)
It's been running fairly ok since, flash movies lags a lot, but she uses it mostly for Skype and Facebook.
so now I'm sitting here, it goes too fast to 100% CPU, I run Onyx to clean out caches etc. and it reports I need to insert the disc and repair the disc, tried to repair but it failed, on a drive less than 6 months old.
Any super nice solution for this troublesome computer ?
could it be bad RAM ? bad computer ? (we bought it second hand and it ran ok, but continueing having disc issues).

Unfortuneatly I'm home now, so I got to take this from my memory.
It was a full install disc.
SMART status was ok.
Let me add here the computer boots up and runs fine, though it's being slow and there is a lot of 100% CPU usage, so no problem booting normally, didn't try safe mode.
when I bought thi machine (second hand) the original disc was in, I bought it through a mac enthusiast who's servicing mac's for others, he had gotten it in because of disc problems, but he installed 10.5 on it and made it work (according to him no issues).
I brought home the computer, to make it ready for my mother I tried to update and reset password, delete some softwares etc.
Something went wrong, so I took my own 10.5 disc and decided to do a clean install, never worked, half way through repeatedly got a message that it couldn't be installed because of a serious damage to the disc.
A lot of time wasted later, I decided to try the 10.4 disc, worked fine.
Handed over the computer to my mother, days later we got an error message of SMART status wasn't ok OK and disc needed to be changed, changed the disc, installed 10.4 no problems... well no other that I couldn't upgrade to 10.4.11, some disc writing issue.
well, as I left earlier today the computer ran, 10.4.11 (thanks to my brother, somehow), and a tad better than when I arrived, just worried that there might be some issue with the computer itself (not disc related, perhaps heat is corrupting the disc ?)

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

SQL Server 2005 Update mechanism problem

Hi Gurus,
      We're faced with one SQL Server 2005 update mechanism problem. Here is my problem:
      According to our requirement, an add_on interface program is designed to execute creation of production order by calling Bapi.
      There are 3 steps in this add_on program:
      Step 1: Create production order
      Step 2: Change the information of production.
      Step 3: Some other
      After the step 1 has finished immediately step 2 is called, Howerver the information which should have inserted into database table couldn't be found from database. (Maybe because the time between two steps is too short to finish inserting)
      In order to ensure the complete of the transaction, before the step 2 executed, the information in step 1 should have inserted into database.
       Is there any solution to solve this problem?
       I guess whether there is any parameter which control the time of writing buffer into database...
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Derek Yang

Update/Insert Problem with Oracle Warehouse Builder

Hello,
i have update/insert problem with owb.
Situation: I have a source-table called s_account and a target table called w_account_d. In the target table are already data which was filled trough the source table inserts. Now anyone make changes on data on the target table. This changes should now give further on the source table with an update operation. But exactly here is the problem i can´t map back the data to source because that will create a loop.
My idea was to set a trigger but i can´t find this component in owb or is anywhere hidden?
Also i have already seen properties as CDC or conditonal loading in the property inspector of the table, but i have no idea how it works.
Give it other possibilities to modeling this case? or can anyone me explain how i can implement this eventually with CDC?
I look forward for your replies :)

Hi
thanks for your answer. I follow your suggestion and have set the constraints of both tables into the database directly.Nevertheless it doesn´t work to begin. In the next step i found by right click on a table the listpoint "configure" - I goes to "unique key" --> creation method and set here follow options: Constraint State = ENABLE, Constraint Validation = Validate. That error message that appears before by the deployment disappears yet. Now i start the job to test if the insert/update process works right. Finally it seems to work - but not really.
My Testscenario
1. Load the data from source table about the staging area to data warehouse table: Check - it works!
2. Change one data record in source table
3. Load the source table with changed data record once again to staging area: Check - it works!
4. Load new staging area table with the changed data record to data warehouse table: Check it works! BUT, BUT i can not recognize if it is insert or update operation, then under the design window by jobs execution windows is reported "rows selected 98", Rows inserted" is empty and "rows updated" is empty. So i think works not correct, then my opinion if it works correct it should show be "rows updated" 1.
What can yet now still be wrong or forgotten? Any ideas?
*By the way think not 98 rows there is not important if you make an update or insert which performance. It is an example table the right tables have million of records.*
I look forward for your answers :)

HT4561 10.6.8 printing results in paused printers. Have applied 10.6.8 supplemental update but problems remain. Are there other known fixes?

After applying 10.6.8 Supplemental Update a network printer status turns to paused after a printing attempt. Have deleted and reinstalled printers after the 10.6.8 update but problem reoccurs. I have also installed the Repair10.6.8.dmg package but that suggested fix did not work either. Any other suggestions?

Wuzradioaman,
Thanks for your feedback.
Let me first correct myself. My aunt had bought the MBP from apple store USA for me 1 year ago, but she could have only delivered it to me 2 months ago. Its' a brand new computer. I run OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and keeps warning me to update to 10.6.8. As I said, by the time I have received my computer, I tried to learnd and update it but created problems. So I had to go back to the original version which is 10.6.7. Now, for Mountain Lion I am expected of updating to 10.6.8. I am scared the problem would repeat again.
What can I do? Did Apple release any patch/update to fix the problem?

Apple TV after recent update has problems with Hulu Fall 2014 shows

In specific, ONCE Season 4 from ABC. The shows play about 15-17 minutes, up to the 2nd commercial - which fails almost immediately, the screen goes black and nothing. (I did find that the SUBTITLES come through - of all things.) If you try and re-start the episode with RESUME PLAYING, you'll just stare at a blank screen for ever.
I have notified HULU of this issue with their content - other shows (like Agents of Shield) play fine, just not ONCE Season 4.
Obviously, something is broken and needs to be fixed.
**** Update **** The problem seems to be caused by the subtitles. Turning the sub-Titles off seems to work-around the problem.

i dont have an ipad but ive had problems also, streaming music from my itunes off my macbook to my appleTV so i after seeing all these itunes 11 problems, im starting to think its the new itunes cuz my airplay was working fine until i updated also.

PANTHER TO Tiger update discs?

Anyone know where I can get some Tiger update discs?
Our G4 needs Tiger and we currently have Panther. Evilbay is a little pricey for them at the moment.
We will Be getting a new G5 in a year or 2 with Leopard....for now I need to upgrade to Tiger any ideas?

SPCreative,
An Upgrade disc, is a disk that was provided by Apple, to consumers that purchased a new model of Mac, shortly before, or after, a new version of OS X Tiger 10.4.x, was released.
The new Mac would have had the older version Panther 10.3.x, pre-installed when manufactured.
The Upgrade disc Tiger 10.4.x, is Model Specific, for that particular Mac, and will only Update the existing system Panther 10.3.x.
It is not a full version of the OS X.
Therefore, the previous version of OS X, must be present.
The Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, will install Tiger 10.4.x, regardless if a previous version Panther 10.3.x is present.
The discs must look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info in these links.
