Downloaded Mt Lion.  Now my facetime launches then quits with message that there is a problem with the  C_L Kernel Plugin.  Everything else works just fine. I can get on line etc.

I have have an early 2008  imac 8,1  It has been a good machine no problems.  UNTIL we downloaded Mt Lion. We can no longer use facetime.  We click on the icon it comes up, tries to connect then it disappears with the message that there was a problem with the C_L Kernel Plugin.  We can go on line without difficulty, everything else seems to be working.  Searching the internet shows that others have had the same problem with Mt Lion. But so far I haven't found a solution.  We have wiped the drive reloaded snow leopard then downloaded Mt Lion again. We put in a NEW hard drive and reloaded snow leopard then Mt Lion. We have changed out ram using apple ram. But we still get the same result. Everything works except for Facetime.  Is there some patch we have missed?  Facetime DOES work on our ipads without a hitch so I doubt it's the internet connection.  We've tried the imac both wirelessly as the ipads run and hardwired and get no where fast.  So any help at all would be appreciated.  We live in the boonies, the nearest mac repair is over 150 miles away so this is pretty nuch a do it myself affair.  We know the machine is old by most standards today. But we pretty much run our machines until they can't power up.  So we'd like to get this one back on its perch so to speak with its face time working.
Thank you ahead of time for any advise help given.

    Hi,
    Have you try to un-select the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) setting?
    Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options.
    Click Advanced, and then click to clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
    check box in the General area.
    Click OK.
    If the problem cannot resolve, the Run as administrator may selected.
    Go to Office default install location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.
    Right-click EXCEL.EXE > Properties >
    Compatibility tab.
    Under Privilege Level, uncheck Run this program as an administrator
    check box.
    Best regards.

  • I keep getting a message that "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected." when I try to download iTunes 10.5. So I can't update it. How can it be fixed?

    When I try to download iTunes 10.5, I keep getting the message "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected." Therefore I can't update my iTunes to the new version. How can I solve this? I don't want to pay for technical support as this seems to be a problem with the iTunes package Apple is providing itself by that message.

  • I have a problem with Powerpoint 2011 for Mac.  I began preparing a presentation and everything was working just fine.  At some point I switched away from presenter view and then back at which point the next slide had disappeared, never to be seen again.

    Did I inadvertently hit some key that blocked out the preview slide?  If so, what do I do to get it back? My presentation is on Thursday so I would appreciate any help you can give me.  Thanks.

  • I'm unable to install the newest version of itunes on my pc, the promt says that there is a problem with the windows installer package, but I have downloaded the exe more than once. Is anyone able to help?

    I'm unable to install the newest version of itunes on my pc, the promt says that there is a problem with the windows installer package, but I have downloaded the exe more than once. Is anyone able to help?

    Yes, I had found a similar solution also.  I'm running XP Pro, SP3.  I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair.  Then run the 10.5 exe.
    While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess.  Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes.  Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing.  I haven't begun to work on that.

    Hi
    I've got a similar problem.  iTunes v10.2 worked fine, but when I tried to update it to 10.5 I got a 'Bonjour' error.  I eventually solved that but I still couldn't upgrade to 10.5, so I deleted every single Apple, Quicktime, iTunes, etc file on my PC using Revo Unistaller (because the normal Windows Add/Delete programs wouldn't work) but now, when I install the latest iTunes version from scratch (on XP SP3), it says: "the installer encountered errors before it could be configured.... your system has not been modified" 
    Any ideas?

  • HT204053 Why does it say that there was a problem with a previous purchase and not let me download apps?

    Everytime I try to download a new app it says that there was a problem with a previous purchase and then it said that my card was declined

    These are user-to-user forums, nobody on here will know what the problem with the previous purchase might be.
    Does the name and address on your credit card match exactly the name and address on your iTunes account, and have you checked with your card issuer to see if they are ones who are declining it ?  You can contact iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim

  • My power cord was working,then all of a sudden it said it wasnt compatible or something,******* me off it was working just fine

    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    See the not-charging topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    Have you tried another cable?
    Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

  • BT admit that there IS a problem with downloading ...

    Unbelievable.  After submitting a formal complaint, I have just had a call from someone at BT admitting that there IS a problem with BT Net Protect Plus not downloading properly.  They are apparently "working on it" and I should get a call shortly when the issue is resolved, after which time it should download ok.  This is after spending the best part of 2 days trying unsuccessfully endless times to download it, after the goons in the BT callcentre helpline blamed ME for causing my OWN problem. However, I will believe it when I see it.

    Well wonders never cease. Had a call from India to say problem with Net Protect Plus had been identified and resolved. Tried again, and this time it downloaded in a few minutes and installed immediately, no problem whatsoever. This is after 2 days of me trying unsuccessfully to download it and tearing my hair out because it failed every time. They had blamed me for the problem! Would be a help if in future the helpline in India do not assume users are causing their own problems, and take on board the fact that there may actually be a problem at the BT end of things.

  • After updating to itunes 10 i now get an error message saying there is a problem with the windows insaller package - I have tried all the suggestions but nothing works for me - have I lost all my itunes forever?

    After updating to itunes 10 I now get an error message that says there is a problem with the windows installer package. I have tried all the things that others suggested but cannot download itunes at all now. Have I lost itunes forever?

    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.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • When downloading the new version of itunes, why do i get a message saying there is a problem with the windows installer package?

    When trying to download the newest version of itunes, when running the installation package, a message pops up that says "There is a problem with this Windows installer package...please contact your support personnel or package vendor."
