What is this error message? Just installed new HD

Heyo,
I just installed a new WD 320GB Internal HD on my girlfriends iBook G4, and after all was said and done (which is a lot!!!) when I turned it on for the first time it simply gives a white screen with a folder icon in the middle of the screen intermittently flashing a question mark, and the little two-faced apple guy inside of it. I checked and double checked all connections and was very careful during installation of the new HD.
Does anyone have a clue what is happening???
Please help!

The folder with a question mark means the computer cannot find an OS to boot from.
You've got a few options for getting the OS onto this new hard drive:
1)If her old hard drive still works, you can put it in a Firewire enclosure and clone the data from the old hard drive to the new.
2) Use the original install discs that came with the machine. If you can't find these, you can call up Apple & give them the serial number for the computer. Replacement discs aren't overly expensive.
3) Last option is to use a retail copy of OS X to reinstall the OS on this computer. You'd have to make sure to purchase a copy that will work with your computer, and you would also be missing the iLife applications which are not included with a retail copy of OS X.
If you need anything cleared up, let me know!

What does this error message mean and how do I solve it? "Sorry, one or more of the following command-line tools was not found: /usr/bin/lsbom, /bin/pax, /bin/mkdir, /bin/chmod, or /usr/bin/update_prebinding."

It sounds like some of the Unix Executable commands were removed (or the permissions to those were modified) out of the /usr/bin/ folder. You can try opening disk utility and repairing permissions on Macintosh HD or you can reboot your computer and holding down option-r when it comes back up to reinstall Lion again. This will not delete your personal information or applications you have installed but it would be best to back it up to Time Machine before you do. The article on how to do this is here. (http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/) I have had to do this before and it works like a charm. It should fix your issue but grab a cup of coffee because its going to take about 35 - 40 minutes depending on how fast your computer is.

HT1386 I am trying to sinc my iPhone with my iTunes to get my music on my phone and i keep getting an error message 42001 pop up when i attempt to sync what is this error message and what do i do to fix this problem??

I am attempting to sync my phone with iTunes and I keep getting an error message 42001 so my phone can not sync with iTunes... What is this error message and what can I do to fix this problem and sync my phone to iTunes?

Dear Apple team,
I recently bought an iphone3GS from USA and jail broke it. Since I heard the there are lots of disadvantages I thought to unlock it officially through the original owner (in copy). He assisted me and confirmed that he unlocked it with AT& T (See the attachment). According to the instructions I restored the phone. But it is not activating with “Activation server is currently not available, please try again or try with iTunes”
When I try with iTunes , it says “you haven’t inserted a SIM” even though I insert the original AT&T SIM.
My current location is Sri Lanka ,so don’t have any apple support.
Please help me to be a good fan of apple.

Often it suggests issues with device filters in your registry. But it's probably best to check the situation more closely.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

What does this error message mean: "Filename: Mips32.ari TFTP Error: 'File not found' in AP-105"?

Question: What does this error message mean: "Filename: Mips32.ari TFTP Error: ‘File not found’ in AP-105"?
Product and Software: This article applies to AP-105.
The root cause of this error is that the AP cannot perform a code upgrade.
Scenario 1
Check the ArubaOS code.
The minimum requirement to bring up an AP-105 is ArubaOS 3.3.3+ or ArubaOS 3.4.1+.
If the controller is running pre 3.3.3 code, upgrade the code to fix the issue.
Scenario 2
If the AP is not connected to the controller directly, bring up the AP in the controller and then connect it to the desired location. This process loads mips32.ari to the AP so that the AP can upgrade the code.
Scenario 3
The AP has no power adapter and you want to use the PoE feature. A few controller series like the 200 and 3000 Series do not support PoE. In this case, the AP cannot be terminated physically in the controller. Instead, connect the AP to the PoE switch, which is connected to the controller. Then assign a static IP configuration for the AP using the following commands:
apboot> setenv ipaddr <ip address>
apboot> setenv netmask <netmask>
apboot> setenv gatewayip <ip address of the gateway>
apboot> setenv master <ip address of the master>
apboot> setenv serverip <ip address of the TFTP server>
apboot> setenv bootcmd tftp
apboot> save
apboot> boot
Locally configure the TFTP server for the AP and load the mips32.ari file from the controller with the help of the TFTP application.

I want to download this file Mips32.ari for AP-105 device. Please give me this file download link. APBoot 1.2.4.4 (build 26618)

Help! Still get error message after installing new hard drive

The original problem is below and thought that it would help to include it to see the initial problem.
I went out and bought a new hard drive (500gb) and installed it in my laptop. I went to use the restore disks and I got the same exact error mentioned below. I used a set of disks that I copied from the original recovery disk and it still did the same. What is the error code and how can I fix this!!
Please help!!
I have a Satellite A215-S7444 laptop and everytime I go to restore the drive to it's factory settings using the Toshiba recovery wizard I get the following error: ERROR: 03-EEEE-000, AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED, PRESS [OK] TO TURN OFF COMPUTER.
Just a note, I have used my recovery disks to restore the factory settings before with no problems at all, now I get this message. All the files are accesible on the CD and I have no virus' on my computer.
Lastly, the image part of the drive (The one that is like 1.5 gb) which is usually visible is not any more and has not been for a bit when you should see it when you open "My computer". You can however see it when I go to "Administrative Tools-Computer Management." It states that the drive is Healthy (EISA Configuration), type is basic, and there is no file system associated with the drive and there is no drive letter for it either.

Thanks for your quick reply! I was wondering if anyone would reply!
I made the copies on a suggetion that the original may be scratched or something so I figured what the heck? I did format the hard drive though. It is a Seagate 500gb hard drive. I only formatted the whole drive and figured that the restore disks would make the additional partition.
Aside from that, it's the same error message that I had on the original drive. The original drive and OS works (Vista), but I wanted to restore it because I just wanted to wipe everything and start clean. What can be causing the error message, and what IS the error message?
Anymore suggestions or help would be great as I am in desperate need of getting my computer back to working.
Thanks again for replying!

What does this error message even MEAN??

So as I've been posting on here recently, I'm in the process of upgrading the OS on my old G4 from Panther to Tiger. I've received 2 different suggestions on how to safely do so (the 1st was simply to install Tiger on the 2nd partition of my internal drive, and then designate that one as my boot drive).
But for the 2nd method, it was suggested that I clone my current boot partition (using something like Carbon Copy Cloner, which I'm attempting), save the clone to my external drive (so I can boot off that if something happens), and then Upgrade my Panther to Tiger on the same partition, so that I can keep all my Preferences, Bookmarks, etc.
In preparation, I Verified and Repaired Permissions on both the Source Disk and the Target volume--the External Drive, which is actually formatted in Mac OS Standard; the drive I'm cloning is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)--and had run the "Clone" command, but immediately got this error message:
"There was an error during correcting volume privileges: chown:/Volumes/Untitled/: operation not supported. Would you like to ignore this error or stop?"
So I stopped.
What does that even MEAN? Should I "ignore" it? Or simply skip Cloning the damned drive, install the new OS to the 2nd partition, and designate that one as my boot drive?? I've been worried about Permissions on this computer, as for some reason I can't seem to Verify, or Repair Permissions for the 2nd partition of the internal drive, but for all I know, maybe you're not even supposed to be able to.
If anyone could help answer either issue though, I'd really appreciate it. I've just been preparing my computer for this upgrade for a day or two, and would really like to go through with it...

You need to first format the external drive Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Open Disk Utility, select the external volume from the left side list, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the drop down menu, then click on the Erase button.
Now you should be able to clone your system volume. However, do this first:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) 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 (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) 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.

What does this error message mean? "An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584). It arises when I open my Time Capsule icon.

I had a problem when downloading iTunes 11.1 and had to clear my disc and rebuild it from Time Capsule. Thats when I learned that Time Capsule stopped backing up back in January. So now I keep looking to see if Time Capsule is backing up but whenever I open the Time Capsule icon i get this error message. What does it mean and how can I fix the problem?

The backup is corrupted in some way.. you need to verify it.
The error is common enough but there seems to be a range of solutions.
Read the thread here.. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3123920?tstart=0
Look particularly for the posts by Pondini.
And check his troubleshooting for methods of doing things like verify.
