The installer is damaged.  The installer can't open the package.  (FCS 2)

Hi, everytime I try to install Final Cut Studio 2 on my Mac Book Pro (10.6.2), I get this message:
The installer is damaged.
The installer can't open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions.
When i run Disk Utility, the package seems to have no problems. I'm sure the dmg is not corrupted since I was able to install this on my iMac G5 (10.5).
Help!
Thanks...

Locate the original disks and make a new dmg. I've had to do this occasionally. Not sure why the installer disk image breaks, but it does. In fact, I've had more problems with the Adobe disk images I've made. They seem to install once, and then break, which totally defeats the purpose of making them. The FCS dmgs I've made have lasted a while, and I've used them about 6 or 7 times. But I did have to recreate them twice in 3 years.
If it says the installer can't use it, best bet is, you won't be able to fix it. One thing you could try though, copy them to a desktop and then run them. It could have to do with trying to run them over a managed network.

    As you probably know the Canon plug-in enables Log & Transfer in FCP7. I'm not sure whether it works with Final Cut Express or not.
    Look in Applications>Canon Utilities. I'm running 10.6 as well and that is where it's located on my machine.
    Good luck.

  • I am unable to open Photo on my MacBook Pro after installing ilife 11 from a disc.  The message I get says "you can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete.  What can I do?!

    I am unable to open iPhoto on my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.9.3)  after installing ilife 11 from a disc.  The message I get is "you can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete.  What can I do?!  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Reinstall it.This time delete the receipts first.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
    Important:
    As you're on 10.9.3 you'll need to update iPhoto to v9.5 before opening it. Use Software update.

    Why am I getting the following error message? "You can’t open the application “Microsoft Word” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."  I never used to have a proble!

    Only Office for Mac 2008 and 2011 will run on Mavericks. Microsoft support for the former package ended in April 2013. If you do not want to spend the money, you might download and try the donation-ware (free) LibreOffice Suite. No ribbon bar crap. Supports about any document created on Windows.

  • Why do I receive the message on my Macintosh,"You can't open the application because Power PC applications are no longer accepted"?". At one time the software worked so I'm confused.

    Why do I receive the message on my Macintosh,"You can't open the (name of application) application because Power PC applications are no longer accepted"?" At one time the Mac software worked so I'm confused. Fore example I tried to open Concorder Pro snd it gave me the message.

    From a recent post I answered for a similar question about the lack of PowerPC app support in Mt. Lion:
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
    2.  If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
    3.  Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open your data files, modify them and save them;
    4.  Install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion.  Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for only $19.99 + sales tax & shipping; call 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753).    This solution will give you concurrent use of your PowerPC applications and access to Lion or Mt. Lion.
    [Concorder Pro running in Snow Leopard Server installed into Parallels for use in Lion and Mt. Lion]:

  • When I start Photoshop Elements 12, the organizer always crashes. I can't open the program

    Everytime I try the open the organizer in Photoshop element 12, it crashes and the progrma closes. I tried to re install the program, but it doesn't work. What can I do.

    I have had PSE 12 Organizer crash three times in 7 days, and each time I had to re Tag all my files that had been completed to that point.  The Backup was not a lot of help since I had backed up only the untagged original catalog.  I find that SOMETIMES, I can start Photo Editor, then choose the Orgainzer at the bottom.  It takes a lot of coaxing to get the organizer started even then.  So far, I have spend 12 hours ReTagging and Restoring, and talking to Support that does not really have a clue as to this problem.  I have already had 2 support techs work on it, and now am waiting for Second Level support to call back.  Another day wasted.  I find that even though Organizer crashes and closes, that the Analyzer module continues to run in the Task listing, as does Organizer module.  It just runs and uses up resources.  Make sure you check your task lists and force them to cease before you try to restart again. 
    How is it that Adobe provides NO FREE SUPPORT on a known BUG.  Support earlier today told me to get answers to this problem at forums.adobe.com (here now) and I do not see any of the problems have been identified or fixed.  While 12.1 worked for one, it does not work for me.  Someone find out what is causing this and fix it.

  • You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture"

    A day or two ago I went through installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on Leopard OS X.5.8.  After what appears to be a successful installati
    on, in launching InDesign CS4 the message " You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this
    architecture" comes up".  Calling in to support and speaking with the agent who read through previous posts, suggested to me that I
    should try the same fix that has been suggested when I ran across an error when installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on another separate ha
    rd drive externally connected to this computer running Snow Leopard OS X.6.1 for the error reading: "Damaged &/or incomplete install
    ation" when launching afterwards.  The support technician told me to first delete with the uninstall Adobe InDesign CS4, InDesign.
    Following this I am told to run the CS4 Cleanup Utility.  I restart the computer each and every time after running each of the utili
    ties.  Now I am told to install InDesign as a trial version from the DVD and after installation to go ahead & enter the serial numbe
    r.  When launching InDesign CS4 after installation got back the same error as before: "You can't open the application "Adobe InDesig
    n CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture" comes up".  Followed KB404711 article and no success.  What else can be don
    e to fix this issue?
    This morning contacted Adobe Support regarding this response:
    After having a detailed reserach on your issue i acme to the conclusion
    that the problem you are having is not related to Adobe software but its
    in fact related to your MAC version ( OSX-5.8). While reseraching your
    issue i came across
    to many forums where a lot of postings were about the similar error but
    with different products the only comon thing was all the Errors were
    with Mac machine , also when you check the system requirements  for
    Adobe Indesign Cs4
    by going to the following link
    http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/systemreqs/?promoid=DRHXE  you
    will find the Mac OS version supported are from Mac OS X
    v10.4.11–10.5.4. but we do support Snow Leoprad , so i would like
    to advise to you to either contact your system manufacturer or upgrade
    to Snow Leopard ( mac os x 10.6)
    I have been told that my case is being sent to Level 2 agents and that it can take 24-48 hours for a response.  In the meantime I decided to see what the Support Forums can do for me.  Until then I am down.  Thanks for the help.

    In the application folder there is a folder 'Adobe InDesign CS4' within which there is just the application file. I would expect there should be more file there??
    I've un-installed and installed again - still the same.
    Even downloaded the dmg again and done thwe whole thing over again.

  • I can't open the standard applications on my Mac Book Pro.

    I have a Mac Book Pro with Retina display OS X version 10.9.5 can I can't open any of my applications like iMessage, FaceTime, even the chess game. I also Can't open the App Store to update my computer. When I bought it everything worked fine and I've been having this problem for awhile, does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Can I open the Mail app without configuration an email address?

    I'm trying to open a .eml file, which seems possible in the Mail app.  However, I can't open the Mail app without configuration an email account.  I don't have an email account to configure; just want to open the file.  Or, let's suppose, I just wanted to browse the interface?  How to avoid the account setup part?

    Just enter anything short & plausible in as few fields as you can get away with : '[email protected]' works here, you'll get a brief 'not responding' or such at each stage, but it does allow you to use Mail.
