Installer Update problem

I was going to install Mac OS X update 10.1.5 but it said I need to update my installer. So I dowloaded it, ran it, but when I got to the part of the installer update install where it asks you to pick a volume to install the software on, none of the volumes are able to be picked. They're like transperent. Any pointers?
iMac G3 Mac OS X (10.1.x)

Can you install the Security Update 7-18-02? If so, run the Mac OS X 10.15 updater next without installing the Installer Update.

Installation Problems, Permissions Problems, SW Update Problems, Solved

I'm posting here to relate some problems I've had and how I ultimately solved them, in the hope that it might help somebody.
The following relates to OS 10.5.4 on an imac PPC 1.8.
It started (at least the first symptom I noticed was) with Super Duper not working to auto-clone my drive, because the first thing SD does before running a clone job is to repair permissions on the subject drive. The repair permissions task failed with "the underlying task failed" error.
So I tried the manually repair permissions from Disk Utility and got the same "the underlying task failed" error. It's a bit alarming not to be able to repair permissions. I tried a reboot, no change. This persisted for at least a week as I didn't have time to aggressively go after it.
Then I purchased DiskWarrior (again - owned it years ago in Sys 9 days), as in my experience that was the "if all else fails" fix for everything directory-related. I booted from another blessed drive (do people still say that anymore? lol, showing my age) and ran DW on the drive in question. Sure enough DW found and fixed about 150 problems. Great I think, reboot from the original drive, run Disk Utility, repair permissions...nope! Same error. What now? I checked the console installer log for more and all the errors looked like "failure to write" permission type errors. Grr.
Verify Disk ran OK. I checked the SMART status and it was OK, as I was by now worrying about the physical drive.
Then along comes the 10.5.5 incremental update in Software Update and I get the following error: "The Installer could not install some files in "/" check permissions". Doh! Same thing with the Java update. Since I can't repair permissions I'm stuck.
So now I have only one course of action (well maybe there were others, but this is what I did) which was to do an Archive and Install. My OS X DVD is 10.5.0 so that is what I got of course when I reinstalled.
Running Disk Utility after the A&I allowed me to repair permissions successfully. Some progress. But now I had a slew of updates to get back to the present version of everything. Most installed successfully, except the 10.5.5 combo update. For that I got "package contents could not be validated". Rats.
So I decided (after reading here about SW update problems especially with combos) to manually download the 10.5.5 combo. For some reason running SW Update under 10.5.0 gave me download rates of 32kb/s, where I am used to 1.1MB/s. Projected download time 3 hrs....no way! So I booted back to my 10.5.4 clone and downloaded the 612MB at normal speed there. I downloaded the 10.5.1 incremental as well just in case.
Finally I was able to run the 10.5.5 combo (manually downloaded) successfully. Check Disk Utility and repair permissions...all good. Run SW Update and get the Java update, all good.
Deep breath. Phew.
So there you have it. I was able to fix it all. I probably didn't need to buy DW (but it's so great I'm ok with that) as I conclude now that the A&I ultimately was the real fix. It was a very frustrating experience though, especially with SW update giving me a bad download.
I'm hoping that this post might now show up in searches and help somebody out there.
Cheers

I don't think you have either of those kernels... as they don't exist. I assume you meant that you are using 3.10.5 and supposedly have 3.10.6 installed. You issue is a bit of a catch 22, as you are unable to mount the ESP (no vfat module matching your running kernel), yet mounting the ESP would be required in order to properly udpate. I imagine that you actually have the correct kernel as /boot/vmlinuz-linux. But whatever mechanism you use to copy it from that location to the ESP didn't work.
You are going to have to boot from live media, and fix this from a chroot. Please search around for how to do this, as this information is all over the place.
Looks like I'm in for a treat. I chroot-ed, did a full upgrade in case there was an even newer kernel (and there was, 3.10.7). After the upgrade I copied /boot/vmlinuz-linux, /boot/initramfs-linux.img and /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img to /boot/efi/EFI/arch/ renaming the files vmlinuz-arch.efi, initramfs-arch.img, initramfs-arch-fallback.img respectively. I unmounted everything and rebooted. Now reFINd freezes as soon as it tries to boot Arch.

Software installer update caused macbook pro/snow leopard to not start

I ran the recent software installer update; since then my macbook pro--running 10.6.8--won't get past the blue screen. i tried verifying/repairing permissions and even reinstalling from the disk but it tells me simply that reinstalling from the disk cannot be done.
The only other relevant information I can think to share is the fact that my harddrive is partitioned with bootcamp, running Win7 64-bit.
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Had the same problem with my Early 2006 Core Duo iMac and Starting up in Safe Mode ended up being the fix.
see > Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
1. Be sure your Mac is shut down.
2. Press the power button.
3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
In this case starting up into Safe Mode will take a lot longer than normal, so be patient and let it finish uninterrupted.
Likewise after Safe Mode, starting up into normal mode is also going to take a lot longer than normal, so once again be patient and let it finish uninterrupted.

Updating problem...I have a update that starts out going through but then does not finish just keep running

also with the update problem it says software update and below the running bar it says connecting to the server

Please do the following: 
#Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download a fresh installation file to the desktop. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box''). 
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

OS X Installer Update

I bought my Wallstreet off EBay. Very happy with it. It came with 10.1.5 including the disks for 10.0 and 10.1 and a disk with .dmg files for security updates, installer updater and 10.1.5
The only problem is, to install stuff using the .pkg files I decompressed I must first update the installer. It will load the installer updater .pkg file, but it will ask me for a volume on which to install the installer update, then show me all my volumes grayed out.
Suggestions?
Wallstreet G3 233 MHZ Mac OS X (10.1.x) 80 GB HDD, 288 MB RAM

The classic issue? Do you mean the startup disk problem? Kinda. It works sometimes, and sometimes is freezes. Takes patience. It won't work with extensions off, and it won't work immediately after a forced restart. So, yeah, sorta.

BT Toolbar installer - ongoing problem - STILL ONG...

I have not had a reply to my last post in the thread:
http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-in-Home/BT-Toolbar-installer-ongoing-problem/td-p/39872
As the problem has returned with the newest version of the toolbar, I thought I would start a new thread using my last post to the above thread .
In fairness I thought the problem had been sorted as a patch was issued for V:8.1.0.51, Build: 2009.9.20.2, so maybe the thread was no longer watched.
To my amazement, this patch has not been incorporated in the latest version. Quite frankly I'm gobsmacked at the incompetence. Anyway, here it is:
Have just installed the latest version of the BT Toolbar:
V:8.3.3.42
Build: 2010.11.15.1
Although I had ticked "Automatically download and install toolbar updates" in my old version, I only found out about the new version by reading a post in "Answers". The links below refer to older "7" versions but following the links I came accross "download latest version" and discovered V:8.3.3.42. So it appears that the auto-update facility doesn't work either!
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/dd948e16-b74d-4e9c-a0fc-268...
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/toolbar/basics/toolbarms-01.html
Guess what? After a shut down and reboot, I had to sign in with my Windows Live ID - AGAIN!
It would appear that the patch released to cure this problem in the old version has not been incorporated in the new version.
Stroll on. I find it hard to believe that the newest version has been released with the same error!!!!!!
I have had to hack the registry to correct this - AGAIN
Below is the post that explained the original problem. Although the numbers of the HKEY_USERS are slightly different now (HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-73586283-879983540-1606980848-1011), the problem remains the same. The toolbar installer changes AppData to =%AppData% instead of =%USERPROFILE%\Application Data.
And I quote:
"When Yahoo toolbar gets installed it sets the following registry value:
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-796845957-926492609-725345543-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\User Shell Folders]
AppData = %AppData%
The problem here is AppData should actually be the following
AppData = %USERPROFILE%\Application Data
So when MSN or other apps that use that registry key go to save their data it gets lost.
So the solution is simple, run regedit and go to
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-796845957-926492609-725345543-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\User Shell Folders]
and set the value AppData to a data value of %USERPROFILE%\Application Data"

Error message: Installation encountered problems, please try redownloading.

Hi,
just tried to update the Flash Player to the newest version. However, the installers provided at this site (http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer) seem to work improperly. On my 64-bit Win 7 Pro system all works fine, but on my laptop (32-bit Win 7 Pro) it keeps saying "Installation encountered problems. An error occured. Close this window and start download again." This happens with both the Firefox and IE installer.
I managed to update FP with the offline installers, but I'm interested in the reason anyway. Is it a broken installer, is it a configuration problem of my laptop, or is it another problem? Would be very happy if anyone knows about this issue!
Thanks

Usually, it's a firewall problem with the "downloader/installer". I always use the offline installers to avoid any bundled software.

Conflict - CS6 updater and CC installer/updater

Hi Folks,
Anyone else have this problem? I installed CC on my iMac with CS6. Now in the menu bar I have both the icon for the CS6 updater and that for the CC installer/updater. The CS6 updater shows an update is ready. That icon gives me only one choice, Open updater, and when I do, the CC installer/updater opens. But the CC installer/updater shows no new update. I am attaching a screenshot, the CS6 updater icon is the first on the left in the menu bar and the CC installer is immediately to its right.
Anyway to get rid of the CS6 icon? Anyway to resolve this conflict?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the reply. I have done as ou instructed, but get a window in the CC installer/updater of "You Have No More Requests."
Still, that "1" remains next to the CS6 updater.
On my laptop, the CS6 updater went away, so I have only the CC icon. In my laptop's CC installer/updater this morning was an update for Premier CS6. No such update appears on my iMac in CC installer/updater even though the Premier CS6 is on that machine as well. The settings in Preferences for CC installer/updater are the same on both my MacBook Pro and my iMac.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Tim

WG: [Acrobat Installation & Update Issues] Update von Acrobat 8.0 auf 8.3

Hallo
Ich bin ein korrekter Mensch.
Sie sehen in der Anlage, dieser Mail, das ich das Produkt ehrlich gekauft habe.
Ich verwende nur original Software.
Die Acrobat Version 8.0, war immer sehr gut für mich.
Diese Version reichte für mich vollkommen aus.
Ich hatte einen Computerabsturz und musste Acrobat auch neu installieren.
Die Acrobat Version 8.0, ohne Update, stürzt immer ab.
Das können Sie auch im Internet lesen.
Jeder weiß das, dass Acrobat Version 8.0, ohne Update abstürzt.
Es gibt aber dies Update nicht mehr zum Download.
Ich erwarte jetzt von Adobe, kostenlose Abhilfe.
Ich möchte jetzt eine kostenlose Fehlerbeseitigung.
Oder geben Sie mir ein kostenloses Update auf die neue Version.
Ich habe ein Anrecht darauf, dass Sie mir kostenlosen Ersatz liefern.
Beste Grüße

How did you purchase? AA8 has not been available for almost 8 yrs or so. The only current version available from Adobe is 11 and you can not upgrade from 7 to 11, but have to buy the full product.
Updates also require the use of the S/N of the qualifying product (AA7 in your case) to be able to use the newer product. So at this point, it is unclear what you actually have.

I was not trying to imply that you improperly purchased the product, but that the source may have been a rip off and that could be the problem. From what I can see, it appears that you were able to install Acrobat, but can not do the updates. In that case, try the updates from the ftp site. I will have to come back with the address that I do not have on this machine. The html updates are no longer available for some reason, but the ftp site contains all the updates. You do have to install the updates in order in general, though you only have to reboot after the last update. I will change computers and find the ftp link to provide you.
The ftp site is: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
