VirtualBox error in Yosemite... anyone solve yet? Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

Kernal driver missing after upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite. I need to write code today.... Help!!

I had the same issue after I upgrade to Yosemite. I was on VirtualBox 4.2.
After I upgrade VirtualBox to 4.3.18, it seems back to work again. The Check for Updates menu told me 4.2 is the latest so I have to download 4.3.18 from VirtualBox website instead. Good luck...

I am having a issue installing Adobe Acrobat XI. I am running Windows 8.1. When go to install it gets an error. The error is with transform in registry and will not install product. I am looking at how I can fix this registry problem.
I have tried to uninstall all Abode Acrobat installations but one file remains and refuses to be uninstalled. It gives me this error : Error applying Transforms . Verify that specified paths are valid. It was installed on Sept 18 2014. I have downloaded a Transform update but it tells I do not have a Adobe Acrobat product installed.

Hi all,
Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
Please help !

Vipul

I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on. Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages. Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126"

I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on. Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages. Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126". I now can't sync my iPhoneand I am worried that if I re-install I will lose all my contacts,calendar, notes, etc.

I too had this problems (Windows 8.1). A few weeks ago after the previous update before this version of itunes, I'd had a problem with the itunes store crashing and at that time I followed instructions to copy QTMovieWin.dll to the itunes folder, which fixed the store crashing.
Today I fixed the problem by:
Delete QTMovieWin.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Uninstall ALL Apple Software using Control Panel / Programs and Features. I uninstalled:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Mobile Device Support
Apple Application Support
Apple Software Update
Bonjour
Delete the folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
Restart the computer
Reinstall QuickTime
Reinstall iTunes
Everything works GREAT now, including the iTunes store. You will not lose your media files, I got everything back, all my settings, playlists, etc.

Error - The software required for the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the required sotware

When trying to load music from ITunes to my ipod I receive the error "The software required for the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the required sotware"
What should I do to correct the error?

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 the page in case one of them applies. The notes below the box include tips on removing troublesome components.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Error "itunes has an invalid signature". Will not install. Why?

Every time I try to update iTunes on my desktop computer I keep getting the same error message "iTunes has an invalid signature. Will not install. Why am I getting this message? and how can I fix it.
ITunes came with the new HP I purchased in 12/2013. I have had a problem only with updates. I thought about uninstalling on my desktop but do not want to lose my songs. Was hoping to find a better solution than uninstalling and then re-installing.
Any how would be appreciated.

The error suggests some sort of corruption with the file you downloaded. Clear your browser's cache and download a fresh copy of the iTunes setup file.

Has QT Error Plug In Problem Solved Yet?

I am still having problems streaming videos. Sometimes I get the error probem and other times I don't. Does ANYONE have a fix for this yet. Has either QT or IE admitted to the problem?

When you looked in the /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder did you find the Real Player plug-in? You sort of failed to mention if it was there. Did you quit your browser and then re-open it?
Perhaps it did not get installed properly. It's also possible the website itself will only work if accessed from a Windows browser.
You may want to try this:
Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

SOLVED - iPhone Bricked by Update Device Driver Not Installed Error 1602

iPhone 4 / Windows 7 x64 / iTunes 9.2.1.5
My iPhone normally interfaces with iTunes on my PC via USB cable without issues.
iTunes prompts to update the iPhone when a new version of iOS is released. Each time, the update has failed as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275.
The update process stops, the "Connect to iTunes" screen is all that displays on the phone, and an utterly informative alert message comes up in iTunes along the lines of "Error 1602 (or 1604), The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred." Along with this, the iPhone ceases to be recognized as a USB device by Windows 7, with a little notification tray pop-up informing me that "Device Driver Software was not successfully installed". The iPhone no longer shows up as a device in iTunes.
The generic troubleshooting steps listed at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275 (changing USB ports, changing USB cables, restarting the computer, uninstalling and reinstalling all Apple software, etc., etc.) were a useless waste of time, but following the links for USB troubleshooting led to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
As instructed there, I located the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver in Device Manager. It appeared listed as "Apple Recovery (iBoot) USB driver" with a yellow exclamation point; thus I attempted to reinstall the Apple Mobile Device driver. First I uninstalled the existing driver, then scanned for hardware changes, then tried to update the driver as described. However, the path where the driver files were supposed to be (C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Driver) did not exist; the Driver folder was missing.
After Googling a little I came across http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1949672 and http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10806341. Following the instructions there, I was able to pull the device drivers (usbaapl64.sys, usbaapl64.cat, usbaapl64.inf and usbaplrc.dll) out of the iTunes installation program (from AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi, using WinRAR / Universal Extractor), put them in the previously nonexistent Driver folder and make Windows use the drivers.
Happily, this manual driver reinstall allowed Windows / iTunes to recognize the iPhone and proceed with the update / restore process. I had to repeat the driver reinstall process a couple of times during the iPhone restore - as it progressed, it kept switching the driver back to something nonfunctional - but the restore eventually went through, allowing me to keep my apps, data, history, etc. At least, until the next iOS update.

Has anyone solved the Outlook .dll not staying checked for sync?

I have tried reinstalling everything and updating everything I know to update. When I start outlook 2003 that second .dll still gives me a runtime error. So I have to manually check it every time I want to sync.
Thanks for any tips out there.

Thanks. I should have stated it isn't disabled. It just crashes at launch. It tries to start but just won't stay checked.

[SOLVED]Mounting usb drives "not authorized" with thunar-volman (XFCE)

Hi,
I'm new to Arch (even though I must be approximately at my 15th try at installing it properly) and I have a problem with thunar-volman.
Whenever I log in as user, and try to mount a usb drive with thunar, let's say I want to plug a drive labeled Ext3_8Go, I get the same message in a pop-up window : "Failed to mount Ext3_8Go (or anything close, not in English in the text), not authorized (that part is in English)"
My install is :
- net install
- partitions : 9Go for /, no swap, no separate /home
- packages : base and base-devel. The only modifications in the package list is that I remove ppp, pcmciautils, and xfsprogs.
- config : at the install stage I only modify rc.conf to change LOCALE and HOSTNAME, and pacman's mirrorlist to allow all French mirrors in addition to the one at the top.
When the usb installation is over, I run this script :
"installation_xfce.sh" (there may be some errors left, I modify this script as I learn) :
#!/bin/bash
# expected environment : freshly installed archlinux, login : root.
echo "Are you connected to internet ? If not, please Ctrl+C and reload this script when connected"
echo "Otherwise, press ENTER to continue installation"

Ethernet Driver Not Installed and Yet It Is - Network useless

Device Manager reports the network port on my W500 (4063-3FU) suddenly lacks a driver (Code 28). This is odd since I had manually installed it myself during the upgrade to a 64 bit (Win7 x64 SP1) ... because even the recent SystemUpdate utils don't work very well (as evidenced by the many tips on the forum to manually install things in a certain order).
Multiple attempts to install Lenovo's latest network driver manually appeared to go smoothly, but Windows still says there's no driver. Astra32 calls it an Unknown device which may be odd, and the diagnostic tool "Lenovo Service Center" (LSC) is too vaue to be of use. I am adding screenshots .
So I let Device Manager and Windows Update try to get an updated driver,but it could never find a driver. Or it would get various errors (Red X marks that tell the user nothing useful).
Programs & Features shows what i think may be the entry (highlighted in blue) for the network/port/driver but it's vague. I've been reluctant to uninstall it just yet.
Does anyone know what I should do next? I need to get the network port going.

What about the blue-highlighted entry in the last graphic (from Programs & Features)... Might that be the LAN driver? How could I check?

It says Ethernet driver (Intel PRO/1000 LAN adapter software) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), XP - ThinkPad is the driver for the W500.
The page on the network chipset is here:

The network chip should be one of these: Intel® 82567LM Gigabit Network ConnectionIntel® 82567LF Gigabit Network Connection
Question is, how do I get the system to evaluate the network hardware? LSC is useless.

VirtualBox error in Yosemite... anyone solve yet? Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
