X11 installation from downloaded file

How do I install the download of X11 to work Gimp? I downloaded X11-0.46.4.tar and double clicked on that. It then opened another folder called X11-0.46.4 and when I go into that I am lost as to where to find the right folder to open. And if I need an application if there is no default application to install, what do I use?
blessed be

I would suggest buying either the original replacement OS discs or a set of Tiger OS X discs so that you have an alternative booting system besides the internal disc in the event that your primary file system gets corrupted and unbootable and needs to be repaired via Disc Utility, which is on the OS disc.
Alternately, get a large enough external hard drive and make a bootable copy of the entire internal hard drive, then you can boot from the external should anything go wrong with the primary internal drive. Booting from the external drive would allow you to perform repairs on the internal drive.
Depends on how important your computer and data is, hard drives don't last forever and will fail at some point, and probably not at the most convenient time. An external hard drive now is cheaper than data recovery services will be later.

That's great, I think more folks should start using "GIMP" as a verb for performing digital image manipulation, instead of that other common Photo-software. Good luck with the project.

Oracle 9i database installation from download files

i downloaded oracle9i database from the otn web site. i am running windows 2k pro with service pack 2. there are three files. the instructions on the otn web site say to extract each file into it's own directory and then run setup.exe.
when i try to run setup.exe, i get an error that says the installer cannot find the java run time environment.
i have installed the newest version of java, but still get the same error.
do i need to have these directories in a certain directory?
someone please enlighten me. where am i going wrong?
thanks in advance for your assistance.

if you want to have iSQL*Plus available you have to have
the Apache Web server started and you can access so:
http://localhost:port/isqlplus
to check what is the port that Apache is using you
can find that information in:
<ORACLE_HOME>/apache/apache/conf/httpd.conf
When you installed the software, if IIS was shutdown
Apache surely took the port 80 and perhaps for that is
the cause so that one of them is started the another one
has to be shutdown.

Hey ErikSimon, I kept troubleshooting my problem last night and when I loaded my samples an alternate way, actually the longer way, it worked. I think I have gremlins in the system or something, but I got it working again. I was having the issue when I tried loading the samples via these instructions that were mentioned in SFLogicninja's Youtube video @ 3:07

They are good instructions, but the Logic gods weren't smiling on me last night. Really weird and frustrating at the same time. Thanks anyways.

TED talks from ipadair2 don't play on appletv2 from downloaded files

I only have a 2mbs internet connection. TED talks from ipadair2 do not play on appletv2 from downloaded files but they do play from streaming? This only started recently, maybe after an update, it did work both ways before. the same happens with my iphone5s!

The songs somehow became corrupted when they transferred to new computer from old computer. Thankfully, I had another computer with iTunes and transferred them via firewire.

Installation from download

Intending to install Oracle 9i on Linux Redhat from files I have downloaded.
Do I need to write the downloaded "disk" files to CDs? Otherwise how do 1 swap "disks" if I install using just downloaded files?
JD

You can just unzip the files onto your system if you don't want to or can't burn cds. You should end up with separate directories such as Disk1, Disk2, and Disk3. When the installer finishes with Disk1, it will prompt you for the path for Disk2. All you need to do is enter the path and the installer continues.

Will not download from download file.

After downloading to download file the file will not open or open folder.

Please explain the situation! What steps where performed? Did you encounter any error messages? How about trying a clean reinstall?
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
#Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Cannot install O2013 dictionary from downloaded file

Office 2013 PRO French in enterprise environment installed as application post installation after Windows 7 deployment from MDT.
Default language is set as French Canada. Under Options - Languages the dictionary for Default (Fr-CA) shown as not installed.
Double click on NOT INSTALLED link. It brings MS download dictionaries page.
I saved French Proofing (13MB) and run it. After accepting Lic Agreement installation starts but after 3 sec window closed.
The result : Dictionary is not installed. Tried to install directly from MS page (Run instead of Save). The same result.
Sure that installation from MS Store is not an option in our environment.
How to tackle this prob?
Thx.

Hi Miles Davis,
According to your description, I suppose that you download proofing tools 2013 from Microsoft website, but it fails. Is it right?
Which explorer did you use to download the French Proofing? Maybe you can download it again in a different explorer.
Reference about install a dictionary:

If there is anything else that I can do for you regarding this issue, feel free to post back.

Can anyone help me with a CS2 installation from download on Windows 8?

Can anyone help me to install CS2 from download. I am on Windows 8. The prompt keeps asking me to insert disc 2! I have opened all the files to the folder as instructed, I have even tried to copy to discs but nothing seems to work.

Reinstall of cs2 from downloaded files

reinstall of cs2 from download worked but illustrator wont launch, other programs working fine

I have a similar problem. I reinstalled CS2 but for the time being just chose to install Illustrator from the package. That was successful up until the point that I tried to launch or open the program. I get the following pop-up box every time:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program:...rator CS2\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Windows also says:
The color scheme has been changed.
The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily
change the color scheme to Windows Vista Basic.
Program: Adobe Illustrator
Publisher: Adobe Systems, Inc.
Process identifier (PID): 4064
Windows will automatically change the color scheme back to
Windows Vista Aero when this program or other programs performing similar
actions are no longer running.
Please decode. Will it be impossible for me to get it up and running? I need to work with it for a class that has already started.
If I have to buy a new cs suite (or just the illustrator as I only need that for now), what is the best package for a student?

Macbook Retina, Loud Idle Fans, Fans start from downloading files

hello
i have a early 2013 retina 15" macbook pro
is it normal that the fans kick in from browsing in youtube? or when i download 2 big files at the same time.. like 500 MB for example
i think it cant be normal for a computer like this to have spinning fans when usage is so low
also my left fan makes a strange noise sometimes, on the right side you only can hear the spinning air from the fan, but not the fan itself,
on the left side you cleary hear a noise while the macbook is in idle, its not extreme loud, but you can cleary hear the fan fro distance when in idle
is this normal?
i trid everything, smc reset, completly reinstalled 10.8.3 but its still the same
the next apple store is over 1 hour away with my car
so i hope to find some helpful answers here first please
Should you hear the fans from a normal working distance when your maschine is in idle with alost no usage
browsing, downloading files etc..
thanks in advance
deniz

Your computer uses Flash to watch YouTube, and it may make your Mac work harder because it consumes a lot of CPU and memory, so it may be normal. However, it's not normal that fans turn on when you are downloading two files.
I recommend you to run Apple Hardware Test in order to check if there's something wrong with your computer. To do this, connect the computer to the charger, and hold Option (Alt) and D keys while your Mac is starting to start into Apple Hardware Test. Choose the language, mark the option to run an extended test and start the test. When it finishes, if it shows an error, copy it here and get ready to take the computer to an Apple Store. If not, there's a process which is consuming a lot in the computer

CS2 installation from download

Just as Gibbo posted a few hours ago, I am unable to complete installation as the install is asking for a disc and I have download files instead. I have possession of the discs, but Adobe today sent me instead to these downloads because they don't support activation on CS2 anymore. How do I get the downloads to complet the process?

Sharing Icon appears from downloading files only with firefox

After the update today now when ever I download a file with firefox it has a sharing icon on it.
Tried to reset to default twice,didnt work,tried to disable all add ons didnt work.
Only happens with firefox and not other browsers I have.
I have to manually right click each download and click the share and set to stop sharing.

This is a shot in the dark: Firefox marks downloaded files as having come from the internet. This is integrated into Firefox's feature of submitting each download to your antivirus software for scanning. (With real-time antivirus protection, this scan is redundant.) You could disable that and see whether it makes any difference.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful. This is Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to switch it from true to false.
Then go back to another tab and try a new download. Any change?

How to detect if an installation using downloaded files is 32bit or 64bit

I have Photoshop elements 10 and premiere elements 10 - and had installed them on a 64Bit Asus N56VZ with Win7 Professional 64
This was done using the downloaded files - I hence do not have separate media for 64bit installations !
I have however now installed Windows 8 Professional and installed both of them... however, I cannot figure out whether this was installed as 32bit or 64bit - is there any way to check in the programs what instance is installed? I do note that the destination for them is the x86 space, which is typically for 32 bit programs right ?
If I want to force an install of 64bit, using the downloaded installation files, how can i do so ? Is there a commandline parameter?
Any reponses will be highly appreciated !
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pat - apologies for the delayed response, and thanks for the response. Also, merry christmas :-)
Could you help me on something? I have installed both on windows 8, but both are in the x86 folders... which means both are running as 32 bit. How do I get prmiere elements to work as 64 bit? As I had mentioned, I have downloaded the installers through amazon, and do not have the discs.
Thanks in advance.

Create installer from exe file not a vi or llb

In LV 5.X one could create a distribution kit from a exe file. Can this be done in LV 6.1? I want to create my exe file, then do some alteration too it and then create an installer for the modified exe.

Open the VI project\install.llb\Install Build Installer.vi. This VI is automatically called by the builder to create installation files.
You can put this VI on "Pause" to allow you to modify the executable before the installer bundles the files for installation and resume execution thereafter.
You can also simply let its FP open, let it run as usual and rerun it with the same FP controls values after your modifications are done.
