problem of re - install

I have an old imac under Snow leopard, which has begun to go hang (spinning beachball of death) mode. I ran a re - install, but after getting it at the stage of configuration after re - install stills mode hang. Any ideas, anyone please?

Snow Leopard erase and install

Remember to only back up your files.

  1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
  2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
  3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears and wait for loading to complete.
  4. After the installer loads select your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of sheets to (1) on the menu drop down. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
  5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
  6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
  7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
  8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.

    OT: problem.

    Hi all

    I used ccleaner, after finishing, I was not able to access to word or ppt... I am getting error 1719 and problems with windows install and I got dnssd missing dll, but I put one in Wow64. I really don't know where the problem lies... I tried everything from softbooting to sfc/scannow... I have windows 7... I copied the log on the desktop and I noticed this repetition:

    but I do not understand... Someone help please urgent.

    I used ccleaner

    -> Why would you do that? CCleaner is known to cause problems!

    ->, You might be able to repair the damage with the system restore. It allows setting up Windows to a point before using CCleaner.

    Hello

    As the title says I have a problem with the installed versions of the time via the option hosted in muse.

    The police seem fine in design mode, but it does not when preview/export.

    I can't find a solution via google search.

    I'm a bit of a hurry, so any help would be really useful.

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: I noticed now that it works ok with engligh but not with the Greek. I still can't get it to work.

    Home page , you can see the police in the foot as a police system and "NEA PROIONTA" where it does not work as expected.

    I tried to check the location and the font used, seems to end of the homepage shows fonts same font you used in the (Comfortaa) design.

    I think that the problem is solved?

  • Please help: billing is problem/unable to install free applications?

    I bought two apps a few days ago and never received a receipt for those bought as I had received with others. I don't know if this is all connected or relevant for other information before but when I try to install any application, even if it's free, a notification saying required audit: log view your billing information. When I login it takes me to the account settings. There, it says 'there is a problem of billing with a previous purchase. Update your payment method. "Moreover, the location of security code is empty. What should I do? Were not paid apps then all I have to do is put in the missing info? Help, please

    The message "problem with a previous purchase" implies that iTunes has not been able to collect money for your last purchase, and you must therefore to iTunes for it: pay a balance of the iTunes Store - Apple Support

    You will not be able to download anything else (including free items and app updates) until it is paid off. If your existing card is not accepted (the security code field will not display when you access then the payment details for card security reasons) you have another card to try, or iTunes gift cards available in your country to pay what you need?

  • Qosmio G30-140 - Console problems on new install XP MCE Raid utility

    I just bought a Toshiba Qosmio G30-140 of second hand. It has 2 hard drives and I tried to install windows 7 with great difficulty due to the raid driver... I managed to cmplete installation and travels account that half the utilities would not work in compatibility mode... Solution, I decided to re install the original Windows XP Media Center Edition, as I didn't have the original disks, I had many days of trial and error downloading different versions to work on my system... FINALLY, I GOT THE RIGHT ONE...

    Here's my question:

    I want to set up my machine to use the 2 drives in RAID mirror in case of data corruption, although I tried to install the RAID utility using the restore disc, I had created before embarking on this mission - suicidal

    IT WILL NOT BE INSTALLED, AND CONTINUES TO GIVE ME THE SAME ERROR OVER AND OVER AGAIN, EVEN IF I AM LOGGED ON ADMINISTRATOR
    error message is "("TOSHIBA RAID Service"Service [kraidsvc] could start. Make sure that sufficient privelages to start the services.) »

    I'm stuck and tried a lot of combinations, different and re-installed the OS twice, I am an administrator and possess these privelages. HELP :((

    Hi mate

    Installing the RAID driver could solve this problem...

    Also, I guess you used the right RAID settings in the BIOS.
    As far as I know, you can change the RAID option in the BIOS on the last page (3-3)
    RAID0 means stripping and RAID1 mirror you want to use.

    After changing the RAID parameters, you must confirm this insert the string 1,2,3,4 and enter.

    But note; After changing this you will need new OS install

  • PSCOSE Inroom C660 - problem trying to install Win 7

    Hello

    I have a problem when trying to install Win7,

    Once I booted and the screen "Windows is loading files", it stuck at "Starting windows" screen even then microsoft logo does not appear.

    I just leave it about 1 hour with the hope for the process to continue, but usless.

    Clean installation of Microsoft DreamSpark-Academic Institutions and with the same source, it worked the last time ago about 1 year (32-bit).

    But now I'm trying to install a version of Win 7 64 bit.
    THX

    EDIT: SYS INFO:
    CPU: Intel i3 M370
    Memory: 4 GB King Max FSFF65F-D8KM9 part number 1xDDR3
    1 x DDR3 2 gb Samsung part number M471B5773CHS-CH9
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics
    Brand BIOS TOSHIBA Versin 2.0

    Hello

    To be honest, I put t see any reasons for Win 7 64 bit installation is not possible.
    In case you want to install Win 7 on this laptop, you should first check the BIOS settings.

    To go into the BIOS, press F2 during the turn on/off the unit.
    There should be a startup mode option. You can switch between the AHCI mode and compatibility mode. In which case you would use compatibility mode, the HARD disk performance would be slower.
    So make sure the AHCI mode is used.

    Finally, I would recommend checking the installation using a common Microsoft Windows disk.

    By the way: you wrote that the laptop uses 6 GB RAM (1 x 2 GB + 1x4Go)
    In your case I would remove a RAM module upgrade and would like to try to install the Windows operating system using the original configuration.

Lenovo enineers also visited for the same problem but no luck they tried to update of the bios, removal and installation of new driver several times and eventually finished near the top of the keyboard chnaging and press with little luck one but still no news.

    Currently I have unistaaled each driver and work on windows driver.

    makes it difficult for me to use scrolling, multitouch etc.

  • How can I solve this problem: CEC_main.exe install this new?

    I phoned the helpdesk with: their advice was to download the webcam driversoftware.
    I reinstalled the driver of the laptop software. After that I installed the downloaded new driver software, but that has not solved the problem. The following by the assistance service notice is restore the software preinstalled on the recovery disk.

    Until I do that, I hope for an alternative to someone.

    Helpdesk has offered the logical solution. If something goes wrong with pre-installed software, first step you can do is to remove the old version and after phone restart to install the latest available version.

  • PXI-8196 connection problem: plugin not installed

    Hello OR:

    The PC in interaction with our NI PXI-8196 (1052 chassis) has recently had a hard drive failure, and I had to reinstall all our LabVIEW software and live custom on a new host. The software is running, but I have problems with connectivity to PXI. PXI is recognized to the MAX, and everything is accessible (ladders for our load cells, etc.). But when I open my project to a labview VI, I can not connect for PXI. It has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark next to it, and when I right click, the error message indicates that the plug-in is not installed. I have a CD that seems to have the PXI drivers on it, but after the installation, I got the same problem.

    I wasn't the one who originally this system connected to the network, and I cannot find documentation to get back up and running. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Eric

    So I solved my problem with the help of my local applications engineer. He pointed to me and made sure that the software on the PXI system synchronized with the host computer via the MAX add/remove software menu. I noticed that the version of the RT software on my host was older than the version on the PXI system. Not sure why this happened, as I had already installed the most updated version. Maybe he got more written in my flurry of facilities. So I reinstalled the RT 8.2 module on the host, and now everything works. Thanks for your time, Robert.
