Can't install 3rd party software

I've just done an archive and install of Tiger on my G4 with a NewerTech 2gig CPU.
I was able to download and install the update to 10.4.10 without problem. However, now when I try to install anything else, I get the authenticate admin window but it just opens, then snaps closed. I don't have time to put in my password. I tried DiskWarrior and trashing the pref files for system pref and finder. I've also run Cocktail. I've run out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

I had VirusBarrier X4 installed before I did the archive and install. I didn't choose save/transfer my personal setting when I did the install. So, VirusBarrier shows up in the application folder but since I can't install any 3rd party software I haven't reinstalled it. I tried to uninstall it but the uninstaller can't find that it's been installed, as I suspected it would, but took a chance.
I don't have EyeTV. I been using Macs since 84. This is a new one on me.

How can i install 3rd party software into my Mac with OS X Mountain Lion

Dear Experts,
I wish to install a software downloaded from a broadband service website (Yes, 4G broadband from Malaysia) for my 4G dongle to be able to work with OS X (10.8.1). But the system stopped me from installing it, as it said 'the installation file is not downloaded from App store and my security preference has stopped it'?!
I have my 4G broadband with me but can not be used :-(
**It works with my Macbook Air (OS X 10.6.8)

Right-click it and press Open to install that application

Prevent shockwave player from trying to install 3rd party software?

I am a sysadmin for a relatively small-ish enterprise (around 50-ish PCs). We have scripts which push out shockwave player to all our systems but when a user loads a page which requires shockwave, they get a UAC prompt because the player is trying to install 3rd party software (usually Google Chrome browser). How do I stop this from happening? Is there a command line argument I can set (preferable method) or some other centrally-managed method for turning this off? Thanks in advance.

I guess I am not explaining myself very well.
I am currently using the EXE full installer from the distribution page. The installation works very well and I can get it to run in "silent" mode to avoid interaction with the user. Once the installation finishes, and I load a web page which requires Shockwave player, I get prompted at that point to download/install Chrome. That is the part I would like to know if it's possible to stop, because all our users are getting UAC prompts and it's always because Shockwave wants to run some installer after loading. I had hoped that going to the distribution version (as opposed to the straight download from the Adobe.com home page) would resolve this but they seem to be the same version, which makes me wonder why I bothered to sign up for it in the first place.

STOP INSTALLING 3rd PARTY SOFTWARE

STOP FORCE INSTALLING 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE WHEN UPDATING REGULAR ADOBE FLASH. I HAD A GOOD DEAL OF RESPECT FOR YOU AS A COMPANY, UNTIL YOU STARTED FORCING THIS TYPE OF STUFF DOWN THE CONSUMERS THROAT. HOW MUCH IS MCAFEE PAYING YOU FOR THIS? THIS IS TANAMOUNT TO WHAT APPLE DOES BY INSTRUCTING US HOW TO THINK AND NOT GIVING US AN OPTION TO OPT OUT. SO GO SCREW YOURSELF AND STOP INSTALLING THIS ON OUR MACHINES WITHOUT GIVING US AN OPTION.

the official word is that it is not supported and can invalidate your warranty.

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama).

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama). Installation required that I create a super user named Other with root privileges. I did so and successfully installed the 3rd party software. I powered down a few days late and when I restarted, I went automatically to my Administrator account with no login password required. I deleted the Other account, powered down and restarted with the same result - opened in Administrator. I then followed the steps to disable root user, powered down, cold restart - same result, opened in Administrator account.
Any suggestions? Any thoughts? Much appreciate any help you might offer.

Why does Adobe install 3rd party software with PE 10 without asking?

I purchased Photoshop Elements and Priemere Elements 10 together. During installation Adobe installed SmartSound Sonicfire Pro 5 on my computer. The installation did not ask if I wanted to install this software and there was no option to not install it. I am the only one who installs applications on my computer so what gives Adobe the right to decide what to install for me. Sonicfire Pro 5 is unwanted by me and it pains me greatly that software was installed on my computer without my consent. Besides it takes up 30GB of disk space. Yes I can uninstall it and I will but it should not have been installed in the first place. I bought Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 because I was happy with my purchase of Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere Elements 4 and wanted to have newer versions but now I am very unhappy. I will never buy a Adobe product or suggest Adobe products to anyone ever again. The only thing that would change my mind would be if Adobes next version did not contain any 3rd party software or if it did one should be given a choice during installation as to install it or not and Adobe should give me a free version to replace the one I have. As those two things are unlikely to happen I will continue to never buy any Adobe software or suggest to anyone to buy Adobe products and faithfully watch the stock market as Adobe stocks continue to decline. Guess what I do for a living!

I did not answer you question, because I have no answer. That was why I recommended contacting Adobe. Though, at times, it might not seem like it, but they do listen to their customers. They collect tons of data, and try to prioritize things, based on that input. This is for Feature Requests, or just comments on how one likes, or does not like, the software.
In very general terms, I find Adobe products to be very benign, and especially to many other companies' software.
Over the decades, I only recall a few instances, where something was installed, without my input, at some level. Back about PS CS, there were some NIK Filters that were installed, and a few of them were "trials," which I am not keen on. SmartSound would be another example, except that I would want it, regardless (and probably only complain, if it was missing).
One of the biggest rubs that I had with Pinnacle Studio was that even if one bought their biggest, most expensive package, a ton of Effects and Transitions were loaded as trials. To get all of those, one had to spend about US $400, above the price of the NLE. Not sure if that is still the case, as I switched to AVID Liquid, about they time they bought Pinnacle, and have not seen Pinnacle Studio in many years. When I moved from Liquid, to PrPro, and the CS2 Production Studio, I never looked back at AVID/Pinnacle. Now, CS2 Production Studio came with about 8 programs, and then a ton of "Goodies." I would have loved to have the Goodies as options in the full suite installation. As it was, I had to do the main, muli-program install, and then run installation routines for maybe 30 other plug-ins, add-ons and stand-alones.
No, like you, I refuse to update my iTunes, as so much "other stuff" gets installed, and then I have to clean it out. You are not alone, except that we see SmartSound from different sides. Though I understand your not wanting anything, but the program, I view that as a necessity.
My suggestion to Adobe would be to include that as a separate, user-selectable install, though I have never heard of anyone complaining, unless SmartSound did not work for them.
I understand personal principles, and try to adhere to my own, but before you pass on SmartSound, I beg you to try it out. That will not ameliorate the need for Adobe to let the user decide what is/is not installed, but with a few sessions, you might change your mind about the program, itself.
Do let Adobe know how you feel, and perhaps SmartSound will become an additional installation, like the additional Functional Content.
Good luck,
Hunt

Will upgrading on to OS X Mavericks (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8) affect the running of the installed 3rd party softwares/programs?

I have just received an email encouraging me to upgrading on to OS X Mavericks (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8). Currently I do have in my computer several 3rd party software and programs (from Adobestuff, finalcut Pro, MS Office, ILife etc.
Will upgrading to OS X Mavericks affect the running of these software /programs? Will I need to also upgrade these softwares?

There may be issues with compatibilty, as with any OS upgrade. Snow leopard (10.6.N) includes a piece of software from Apple called Rosetta. This software allows older PowerPC applications to run on Intel based Macs. This software does not run on any OS X higher than the latest Snow Leopard, 10.6.8. You can see if you have any of programs that require Rosetta installed by bringing up the "System Information" application through spotlight (click on the magnifying glass icon on the upper right, type System Information in the search field and select the application thta is found).
Once in System Information select "Applications" under "Software" near the bottom of the list. Scroll through the list of applications and if any indicate that they are PowerPC based then they will not run under Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
Hope this helps.

Can't install 3rd party screensavers

G'day Gang,
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I've downloaded the below trial screensavers and installed them on three different machines: My Macbook Pro (specs in signature), my iBook G4 and my parents Intel Mac Mini running Tiger. They work on the iBook and Intel Mac Mini great! But not at all on the MBP...
My MBP is running the current Leopard build and neither of the savers show up in the screensaver list in system prefs - even though they've installed correctly (and can be found in the appropriate screensaver folder in the library). I didn't try to install them prior to the 10.5.1 update so I'm not sure if that's the problem.
Fancy giving them a try and letting me know if they work? I've emailed the respective companies and they say the savers should work under Leopard. Curious.

I am a new comer to Macs and this is my first post
on this subject. I have a Mac Mini and I am trying to
install Move2Mac on this machine. I can't install
this software on this machine. The system doesn't
recognize the format and won't go any further.
Move2Mac is written for a PC, not a Mac; it needs to
be run on a PC to migrate the data.
I am also getting "can't create this file" message
when I am trying to update some of the Mac supplied
software (Comic Life). thanks for the help.
Click on the desktop and choose Get Info from the
File menu; under Ownership & Permissions, change the
settings so that you're the owner of that folder and
you have Read & Write access to it.

OK Niel, I did that and it says that I do have the read and write permissions. Any other things that I can check?

Just Bought 13 Inch MBP - Can I Install 3rd Party SSD w/o SATA Bottlenecks

Apparently, it has shipped with Boot ROM Version: MBP55.00AC.B03
In reading the posts, this appears to have the EFI 1.7 firmware.
Can I install a Crucial 128GB SSD drive and get 3GB speeds? Or am asking for problems?
Any help would be appreciated.
thank you

Firstly if you get 3 GB per second speed you will have broken all records to date I think. 3 Gb would be the best to hope for. Sorry, I just had to be my smartaxx self to get my day started.
I have no help for you but since no one else is responding, my SuperTalent 256GB SSD would not work fore more than an hour or so, depending on how hard the drive was working, with the EFI 1.7 but it works endlessly with EFI 1.6. But this is only since the new 1819 firmware was flashed to the SSD. I think Crucials SSDs are the same as SuperTalents but there might be differences I am not aware of. They both use firmware updates with the exact same numbers such as 1571, 1819 and so on.

Do Satellite A200 features remain if I install 3rd party software?

I have a question:
I have a Satellite A200 Notebook and my software is wrecked and I want to install another but not the same (for example one bought by my),
The features from Toshiba will remain?

Hi!
Which software do you want to install?
As Jayjay said, its not easy to say if this affect the preinstalled Toshiba software.
But you can make an image from your HDD before you install the software and if something goes wrong to restore the backup.
You need only a program like Acronis True Image.
Bye

What is your Aperture version?
In Aperture 3 the plug-ins are installed in one of the Libraries:
For all users on your computer you install them in the system library:
Your Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
If you want them installed only for you
Your Home Folder/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
Depending on the type of the plug-in (edit, export) the go into subfolders "Edit", "Export". Usually the plug-in should come with an installer, that moves it to the correct folder.

Léonie
