WRT300N - Won't install at all

I have a new WRT300N, and cannot install it with the disk provided. Tried resets, tried 3 suggested passwords. I can't get beyond step 9, where it asks for the password. When looking into the router, there is no "default gateway address". (via ipconfig/all) When it's wired from the modem to the router and the PC is in any port, no internet access is available. I've tried it with another PC and the same conditions exist. The connection map shows an amount of bits sent, but none received. System is Vista with McAfee package. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Go here for cable install.
Go here for DSL install.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for my iMac (Mavericks 10.9.4), downloaded it and have attempted to install it 10 or more times. I have done all the usual maintenance steps (repair permissions, repair disk, etc) and it still won't install. All goes well

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for my iMac (Mavericks 10.9.4), downloaded it and have attempted to install it 10 or more times. I have done all the usual maintenance steps (repair permissions, repair disk, etc) and it still won't install. All goes well until the installer gets to "Running Package Scripts" then it stalls or hangs up and does not finish the installation. It runs and runs and runs. It never finishes. I wind up having to force quit the installer. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Hi jtento ,
    Kindly enable the Root Account for the MAC and then try the installation there (in the root account). Please find below the URL to enable the root account.

  • Lightroom 2 won't install at all

    Hi, folks--
    Could anyone suggest why my new version of Lightroom 2 won't install at all on my system? At first I thought that it was because my comp didn't meet the minimum requirements, but I believe it does, so I'm stumped. I received a Windows Installer error message stating, "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." I'm trying to install from a brand-new CD purchase made through Amazon, so I trust the retailer. I have a valid serial number and all that.
    I'm running Win XP Pro, SP3.
    Thanks for the help!
    -Greg

    My suggestion is to download the trial (which is the full version) and try that. You can then add the serial number on the one you purchased.

  • Hf901-00001 won't install at all on some instances.

    Hi,
    We have multiple servers with CF 9.0.1 installed, all with the multiple servers configuration and all with multiple instances.
    Yesterday I started patching to hf901-00001 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/890/cpsid_89094.html).  It worked properly on 30 some instances over 4 servers but for a few instances on one server it just won't install.
    The server in question has 7 instances + 1 main cfusion instance.  The patching worked fine for 4 of them, but with the others it blew up the CF admin and I had to restore my CFIDE from a backup.
    Right now I am trying to get cfusion up-to-date here's what I see.
    Server Product: ColdFusion
    Version: 9,0,1,274733
    Edition: Enterprise
    Serial Number ******
    Operating System: Windows 2003  OS Version  5.2
    Adobe Driver Version: 4.0 (Build 0005)
    JVM Details Java Version: 1.6.0_17
    Java Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
    When I try to update with the hf901-00001.jar file, everything seems to work as it should. I get the "For the hotfix to get applied, you must restart the ColdFusion Service." so I restart Macromedia JRun CFusion Server and it starts up fine.
    However when I go back to the CFAdmin I still see
    Version 9,0,1,274733.
    I don't see Update Level /C:/JRun4/servers/CF_Academic2a/cfusion.ear/cfusion.war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/updates/hf901 -00001.jar 
    So I assume that patch isn't going through.  If I look in C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib\updates\ I can see the hf901-00001.jar files though.  At this point if I proceed with the rest of the patching (Copying CFIDE, WEB-INF, etc) the CFAdmin starts throwing error --- class def not found on some critical CF parts.
    As anyone else had issue with this patch or have any suggestion as what to try next? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    Charlie,
    Thanks for the reply, ok going to double check everything point by point.  Going to use my main cfusion instance for my testing.
    Before patching:
    My CFIDE is mapped to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE (from the mapping section)
    C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib\updates has only one file empty.txt
    ColdFusion version is                  9,0,1,27473 from the CF administrator information section.
    Version confirmed by dumping server.coldfusion.productversion (9,0,1,27473)
    Patching process:
    Using hf901-00001.jar from update (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/890/cpsid_89094.html#main_ColdFusion_9_0_1)
    Successful, I get "For the hotfix to get applied, you must restart the ColdFusion Service"
    Restarting "Macromedia JRun CFusion Server"
    C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib\updates\ now has 2 files, empty.txt and hf901-00001.jar
    Checking log for the restart in C:\JRun4\logs\cfusion-out.log, everything start up as it should but there's an error.  No details though, see dump below.

    At this point if I continue with the manual steps and copy the file in CFIDE and WEB-INF it break the instance and I can't access it without restoring from a backup.  (ClassDefNotFound errors).  So the jar isn't being applied for some reason, the log is quiet as to why it's rejecting the file or think it's invalid.  It's the same file used to patch the other instances.  I suspected a corrupted jar and redownloaded it, same result for those 4 instances only after I patched another production server, our development, acceptance and lab servers the same way.
    One thing that I noticed, the one that did patch correctly have chf9000001.jar in their /lib/updates directory which is hotfix1 for CF 9.0.0.  I am under CF 9.0.1 so it shouldn't be required right? Not sure why it's missing from the cfusion instance.
    I tried copying  chf9000001.jar and restarted and it shows up as my update level in CFAdmin.  I still get the invalid file error for hf901-00001.jar though.
    I never installed Cumulative Hotfix 1 (CHF1) for ColdFusion 9.0.1 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/862/cpsid_86263.html) as Adobe only recommend it if you experience one or more of the issue listed.
    Other points I checked following your post:
    1) neo-runtime.xml does have <var name='/CFIDE'><string>C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE</string></var> so as far as I can tell I am using the correct /CFIDE
    2) You say "Or are you using the external web server (IIS or Apache)? If trying one, what happens if you try the other?"
    I am using IIS default website to access it (it's currently bound to port 8080).  How do I try the other? In JRun Launcher I see my Web port as 8300 for cfusion but if I go to http://localhost:8300/ I get a blank site (it just shows Index of /)
    The only thing I have to go on is that the jar isn't loaded as per the log, but there is no error or anything so I am kind of at a lost as to what I can try next.

  • Firefox won't install for all users in Windows 8.1; only installs for administrator

    Since moving to Windows 8.1, I have been unable to install Firefox for multiple users on this laptop. Firefox installs only for the Administrator (me), and does not appear on any other user account. When I try installing from one of the other user accounts (after entering my administrator password), it simply won't install.

    Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    * Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    * "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
    Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

  • ITunes won't install (at all) on my Windows 8.1 64 bit computer

    I've tried downloading iTunes for Windows 8.1 64-bit computers and it won't install on my machine. I did everything like I think I was supposed to ... but nothing happens. In addition I've tried connnecting my iPhone 5S to a USB port ... nothing good happens. My computer recognizes the iPhone but it won't do anything with it. Also I've tried the suggestions from "windows 8.1 itunes wont recognize iphone: Apple Support Communitites" which entertains that I can open control panel ... find Device Manager and try to install new driver software from my disk ... with the suggestion that I 'browse' and find "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. ... and "Apple" does not exist under Common Files of either "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)"
    So now what????

    What is the full text of the error message?
    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.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

  • Itunes downloads but won't install at all

    Hello, I had installed itunes in my PC and everything was OK.
    Today I bought a new ipod nano, and when I connected it to the PC, itunes told me that it couldn't recognize the device (I cannot remember the exact words), although Windows did recognize it.
    I searched in Apple support, and they said I needed to uninstall and reinstall itunes.
    Well, I uninstalled all the Apple software (itunes, quicktime, apple mobile device support, bonjour, etc.). I have verified with the Windows Install Clean-Up Utility and nothing is left.
    I downloaded the last itunes version from Apple, but whenever I execute the installation file, absolutely nothing happens. Windows just confirms if I want to execute the file, and after that, nothing. I have downloaded the installer several times, from different places but still the same. I have uninstalled, re-installed the Windows Installer, and still the same. I have cleaned all the Temp folders but it won't make any difference.
    So, I tried to install it as Administrator, re-started and executed the installer...this time, although it does not install either, at least it throws out some kind of log file, which I am posting below.
    If anyone has any idea, please help me, I've been trying to solve this ridiculous problem for many hours now.
    Thank you very much in advance for any help you could provide me.
    Best regards,
    Ricardo

  • ITunes 9 install issues, now iTunes won't install at all. (Vista 64-bit)

    I tried to upgrade to iTunes 9 today but it failed to install using the auto-update tool, so as the tool suggested, I tried going manual. It installed, but gave me the "iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support." error every time I plugged in my iPod Touch, and advised me to uninstall and reinstall iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device Support.
    I successfully uninstalled iTunes, though the Apple Mobile Device support is being stubborn, and seems not to uninstall properly, remaining on the list of programs in the control panel.
    I tried running both the manual install file (iTunes64Setup.exe) and the extracted AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi, and neither work, even though I have the AMDS service stopped in the Services panel in the control panel. The progress bar sits for a while near the finish and then rolls back, and tells me that there was an error with the install.
    The error message says:
    iTunes installer Completed
    The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
    Your system could not be modified. To retry these operations at another time (etc.)
    Any help would be appreciated!

    There are two programs that might budge it one is the Windows cleanup program (be sure you get the one for 64 bit operating systems if that's what you're running :
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2265732&tstart=0
    Or there's this one which I've also found useful but 32 bit XP only : http://www.revouninstaller.com/
    You'd be doing the forced uninstall which specifically to get program left overs.
    For a free 30 day trial there's also this but I haven't tested it as I have the first two : http://download.cnet.com/Total-Uninstall/3010-2096_4-11117407.html?tag=mncol

    it sounds like you had to fight your way past an "Error connecting to service manager = 0" on the 4.x install. the same underlying problem that causes that also causes the quit at the "publishing product information" stage of itunes 5 and 6 installs (and sometimes in ipod software installs).
    here's our latest state of the art on treatments for the issue:

  • 24" iMac won't install any 'large' Apple software updates from the internet

    I am having a serious issue with my iMac and neither the people on the phone at Apple Care or the 'Geniuses' at the Genius Bar have been able to assist. So, maybe someone here can:
    First - here is the background information about what happened and what I've done:
    A few weeks ago when the new iTunes 10 came out I went to upgrade. The upgrade failed it said. So, I thought perhaps Apple was having issues with the new software or something. So, I thought - Ok, I'll give it a day or two.
    I come back and try again from Apple.com - no luck. Hmmmm - well, I just happened to see my 'software update' icon pop up and there was iTunes. I thought "Great! Now I'm sure it'll install!" No luck.
    So, I think - well, perhaps I've done something to corrupt my profile. So, I create a new profile and try again. No dice.
    So now I'm really confused and figure - ok, let me try a partition and I'll try again. Still nothing.
    Finally I figure - ok, something is wrong here. So, since nothing is working I backup my music and important files and wipe out the hard drive and start over. No luck. And, in fact - since I had gone back to 10.5.4 or whatever - software updates needed to install to get me back to 10.5.5. Those wouldn't install through software updates OR when downloaded from Apple.com - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue.
    I decided to engage "Apple Care" and they call me at the time I specified and we begin to do some tests on the hardware and everything came back ok. We tried from Apple.com and software updates again - still won't install the software. Keeps coming back with "Software installation failed" something about the package installer was corrupted during downloading.
    The guy at Apple care thinks perhaps its my network corrupting something. This begins to make a little sense and I think, maybe he's right. My wireless router isn't that great so, maybe I'll just go replace it. However, while I'm checking out I begin to think that maybe its NOT my wireless router - because I do have 2 other computers in my house who haven't had issues downloading anything. So, this is unlikely. But, I didn't like the wireless router anyway - so I went ahead with the purchase.
    I get it home - set it up and try again. STILL not working. So, I make an Appointment at the "Genius Bar". I take it in - show them the screen shots of the errors and we get started. They try to do the install of either iTunes or the combo update on THEIR network - still won't work. The genius thinks I have a bad HD and takes the computer for 2 days to look at it.
    I finally get to go pick it up - excited that I'll have my iMac (which I use for work) back and functioning again. I go pick it up and they decided that it wasn't my hard drive - but likely my RAM. They couldn't prove it was the RAM but figured since I bought the RAM after I bought the iMac that this must be the issue (even though it was up to exact Apple standards and was from Crucial). So, I think - well, while I have a blank slate I'll go ahead and install Snow Leopard. So, I pick up Snow Leopard and get new RAM too and go home to install.
    I get the computer home, put the new RAM in, install snow leopard and get ready to work! After snow leopard install is done - it has some new updates it needs to install. And the update FAILS to install again. Oh, and they never replaced the HD.
    So, I call Apple Care again - they have no clue. They suggest making an Apple Genius Bar appointment. So, I take it in again. They run diagnostics on it from their 'Triage' external hard drive and everything checks out. He says its probably the hard drive (same conclusion they came to the first time) and said that they would replace it.
    I get the computer back - take it home. Everything is up to date. All the software updates were back in place including iTunes 10. However, I still want to test and see if I can download iTunes and/or do updates. So, I uninstall iTunes and download it again. Same problem. STILL won't install any large software downloads. But, again - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue. Just no core Apple updates or things like iTunes will download and install on my iMac.
    I then took it to a friends house - set it up on his network - same issue.
    So to sum up:
    I have re-imaged the hard drive several times
    I have replaced the ram
    I have replaced my networking hardware (even though other machines on the network have no issues)
    I have taken it in twice to the Genius Bar and they still haven't fixed it
    The Problem followed the machine and exhibited the same issues in store as it did in my home (so we know the problems stays with the machine)
    I have tried it on yet a 3rd network and the issue still exists
    The people at the Genius Bar told me that If I still have issues then its with my network - even though its been proven it wasn't.
    Its only larger downloads like Combo Updates and iTunes that won't install.
    Any ideas? Sorry for the long post but its been quite an ordeal.

    Yes, I have tried the updates directly from the Apple website and a different issue occurs. When I do that I get various different errors - the most common saying 'Codec overrun'. This has happened both before and after complete software OS reinstalls (Completely wiping the HD clean).
    I did a video of my issue on my iPhone. I had to cut it and compress it to get it off my phone without syncing (because I can't sync it since I can't get iTunes installed now). So, its about a minute long if anyone wants to see it:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8leWwEoIeXI
    And yes, we tried to repair permissions a couple times but didn't seem to have any effect on whether it would install these updates. Again, it's NOT all software downloads/installs. It seems to be limited to LARGER pieces of software. Example: Firefox, Flash, Java and Silverlight have all downloaded and installed without error on my iMac. Apple combo updates and iTunes won't install at all.

  • Idea Tab A8-50 (A5500)- PAID apps won't install

    Good Afternoon,
    I purchased an A5500 (A8-50) tablet in May in Austria/Europe. I noticed an issue concerning the use of PAID apps purchased from Google Play Store. I do not experience these problems with any other devices or Android-versions. I received a replacement but still the same issues. I called Lenovo Support, but it could not help at all.
    4.2.2:
    Out of the box the A5-80 runs Android 4.2.2. You may install and use free Apps from Google Play Store with no problems. Paid apps are downloaded and installed. You may run the app afterwards, however, once you turn off the device (shut down) your paid apps get lost. After boot-up free apps work as usual. PAID apps won’t start at all. Android displays “Anwendung ist nicht installiert” (“Application not installed”). There is no problem in re-downloading and re-installing the paid apps from Google Play again. One may also use these apps – until reboot. This has to be a bug, not a feature – I am not keen on having to install every paid app again after any reboot. Not shutting down the tablet is not option for me.
    4.4.2:
    OTA Upgrades form Lenovo do solve the problem either. The first to upgrades (after receiving the device) are 4.2.2-updates. The third one upgrades to Android 4.4.2. After such update PAID apps won’t install at all. There is no issue with free apps. The latest update (July 9, 2014; “still” 4.4.2) does not bring any change. PAID apps are downloaded from Google Play Store but not installed. Rather Android displays an error message "Installation auf dem USB-Speicher bzw. der SD-Karte fehlgeschlagen" (Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card). In my opinion this can only refer to internal memory as no external SD-Card is installed and free apss are installed as usual.
    Does anyone else experience these problems?
    Is there a resolution to this?
    Best regards,
    Matthias
    Solved!

    Hi,
    It is not a swype bug (Swype is also one of the paid apps I use). It relates to any paid app. Free apps (as you experienced with the Swype free) have no problems.

  • 10.4 won't install on g4 iBook.... because I'm stupid.

    I bought a little 12" g4 iBook to give away. I have one just like it. The one I just bought came with 10.3.7. My other g4 is running 10.4.11. I have the iBook g4 start up disks, so I thought... "Hey! I'll make this new one 10.4, as well!" But (and here's where I think I screwed up) I made it a "clean install". And now, it won't install, at all. The "checking installation DVD" part comes out clean. It even seems to be installing certain things and writing receipts. Then, I keep getting a "could not be installed... restart?" message. ...sigh... Was it the clean install? I thought 10.4 was an entirely new OS, not just an upgrade. Do I need to go buy some software that I can clean-install, to fix this? Right now, the new g4 can only start up on the installation disks because Genius, here, erased the volume. Somebody hit me.

    Hey gb,
    The "checking installation DVD" part comes out clean. It even seems to be installing certain things and writing receipts. Then, I keep getting a "could not be installed... restart?" message. ...sigh... Was it the clean install?
    Is that a retail installer you're using?
    I thought 10.4 was an entirely new OS, not just an upgrade
    Well if it was 10.4.2 retail installer you would have been able to use it to upgrade 10.3.9.
    I use a "standard" known good external DVD drive to do all my installs. It saves headaches with questionable drives.
    I have one just like it. The one I just bought came with 10.3.7. My other g4 is running 10.4.11.
    So try using target mode:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    First hook the two iBooks together with a FireWire cable.
    Then start the iBook running 10.4.11 in target mode.
    Then start the new iBook up. You might need to use the option key to select the 10.4.11 OS. You might also need to zap the pram and vram.
    If that works reverse the host computer and use SuperDuper to clone the OS in your iBook over the new iBook.

  • Installing the CS Extension panel with the wrong date set on computer - won't install

    Hi!
    I (with the help of my customers) noticed an interesting behavior of the Extension Manager - when the date is wrong on the computer, the panel won't install giving all sorts of errors, but the correct one. It's cool, that it's happening, because of security - I can understand that. But it's not so cool, that the error that is being displayed is not about wrong time set. The users who install the panel receive "an invalid extension", or "wrong publusher" message and they think that the panel they downloaded is invalid, not the time on their own computers. Is it possible to fix this behavior? It's a serious usability issue, I think, that prevents users from using the CS Extension panels.
    Thank you

    Hi, ddmiles1 -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    When I try to install from the Instalation disc it begins with the "Classic is starting" window.
    That, and the other messages, indicate you are trying to run the installer on the OS 9.2.1 Install CD while the machine is booted to OSX on the hard drive.
    That won't work. What is happening is that when you run the installer on the CD, since it is an OS 9-only program OSX tries to start up Classic, using the only available OS 9 System Folder, the one on the CD. However, before that System Folder could be used as Classic it must be updated by OSX - OSX must add a few files to it so that it can be used as Classic. This can't happen, of course, since the CD can not be written to.
    The installer on all stand-alone OS 9 Install CDs will run only when the machine is booted to OS 9. You will first need to boot the machine to the CD, then run the installer. To do that, with the CD in the drive, restart; then immediately press the C key, keep it held down until you get the OS 9 Welcome screen.
    It may be that your machine will not be able to boot to that CD. Conditions that could cause that are -
    • the CD is not a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD (those have a white label with a large gold 9 on them). If the CD is a model-specific one, and is for a model other than your specific iBook model, it willprobably not be able to be used.
    • your iBook G3 is too new a model to be able to use OS 9.2.1. Many iBook G3 models originally came with OS 9.2.2 - and that then is the minimum OS 9 version that they can use; specifically, those machines require the model-specific version of OS 9.2.2 that came with them. This Apple KBase article can help you determine the Apple designation for your model -

  • Installed itunes 6 and now CD/DVD drive won't work at all

    I just bought a new ipod and installed the software and now my CD/DVD drive won't work at all. Here is my info: Could someone please help!!!
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
    Dell Computer Corporation Inspiron 5160
    iTunes 6.0.4.2
    CD Driver 2.0.4.3
    CD Driver DLL 2.0.3.2

    SCSI\CdRomROXIO__DVD-ROM_EMULATOR___, Bus Type SCSI, Bus Address [0,0]
    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
    Current user is administrator.
    D: SONY DVD+-RW DW-D56A, Rev PDS7
    Drive is empty.
    E: ROXIO DVD-ROM EMULATOR, Rev
    Drive is empty.
    If anyone has a solution for this stupid problem that would be great.
    Thanks

    Yes, I suspect that it's the virtual drive emulator software you have there. I know nothing about that software and it doesn't look like the Roxio support page even mentions it, so it's probably software old enough that they're not supporting it anymore.
    To uninstall any software, I would start with the "Add and Remove Programs" Control Panel. Uninstall it there, and then use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility —
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301
    Download and install that. Run it and find the drive emulator software on the list and remove it there. And reboot and see if that has successfully removed it.
    There is a work around that if we just remove the iTunes CD driver, you'll probably get your drive back, but you'll only be able to rip CDs, you won't be able to burn them without the iTunes CD driver installed. You do have some Pinnacle CD burning software installed. Are you currently using that or is that leftover cruft as well?
