10.4.4 won't install due to non-existant DVD Player software?

Hello all,
The 10.4.4 update fails on my machine with the following message:
There were errors installing the software.
Please try installing again.
The installer log shows the following error.
BomFileError 28: No space left on device - ///Applications/DVD Player.app/Contents/MacOS/DVD Player
This is a bit odd as my machine only has a CD-RW and the DVD Player software is not installed.
I have repaired disk permissions, restarted in Safe mode with no more success with installing.
I also attempted in install the DVD Player software, but that gave me the error message that my machine does not have any supported DVD hardware.
Any ideas?
G4 733Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.3) CD-RW

Hello, thanks for the reply.
The error message implies to me that the device to
which you were installing Mac OS X had insufficient
space for the installation.
How much free space do you, in fact, have on that
device?
42.79 Gb. So I don't think that is the problem.
Your message is confusing.
A CD-RW drive is capable of playing DVDs.
However, it cannot burn to blank DVDs.
A Combo drive can read DVD, but a standard CD-RW can't. This one certainly doesn't read them.
Is your CD-RW drive the one that came with your G4,
or is it a third-party model that you added?
The one that came with it.
What makes you think that DVD Player is not
installed?
It should be in the Applications folder.
It's not in the Applications folder. I'm pretty sure the MAC OS installer only installs the DVD Player software if it detects a DVD-ROM drive. I could be wrong. I'm pretty sure I didn't manually delete it.

Yosemite won't install due to a "S.M.A.R.T. drive problem that can't be repaired."

After downloading Yosemite successfully, it won't install due to a "S.M.A.R.T. drive problem that can't be repaired." It says to back up as much as possible and replace the drive. Everything works flawlessly with Mavericks. What gives??

If you are getting a S.M.A.R.T. error then you should be more worried about losing everything on your drive then about upgrading your Mac OS. Regardless of if you are running Mac OS, Linux, or Windows, you should never just disregard such a drive error. S.M.A.R.T. is designed to give you a warning that your drive is statistically having far more errors than normal and should be backed up immediately and typically replaced.
In your case, it's likely a coincidence that your drive is failing at the time you are attempting to upgrade to Yosemite. You should stop what you are doing, backup your drive (if you don't already have the backups that you should prior to any OS upgrade), and replace the hard drive prior to moving forward.
To make it clear, your hard drive is likely going to fail soon and you may lose everything on it at any moment. This failure has nothing to do with Yosemite or any Mac OS. All hard drives fail at some point. Hopefully this S.M.A.R.T. notice has given you the opportunity to solve a major problem before it gets worse.

Usage tracking problem : not started due to non-existent Usage Tracking tab

Hello,
I need some help after following the necessary steps to setup 'Usage Tracking'.
My table S_NQ_ACCT stays empty.
The structure in the rpd files looks like
* OBI Usage Tracking
Connection Pool
Usage Tracking Writer Connection Pool
Catalog
dbo
S_NQ_ACCT
My nqsconfig has the following entries related to usage tracking
# Usage Tracking Section
# Collect usage statistics on each logical query submitted to the
# server.
[ USAGE_TRACKING ]
ENABLE = YES;
DIRECT_INSERT = YES;
PHYSICAL_TABLE_NAME = "OBI Usage Tracking"."Catalog"."dbo"."S_NQ_ACCT";
CONNECTION_POOL = "OBI Usage Tracking"."Usage Tracking Writer Connection Pool" ;
BUFFER_SIZE = 10 MB ;
BUFFER_TIME_LIMIT_SECONDS = 5 ;
NUM_INSERT_THREADS = 5 ;
MAX_INSERTS_PER_TRANSACTION = 1 ;
When making queries on the Usage Tracking SA, I still receive the following error in the NQServer.log File
+[59049] Usage Tracking not started due to non-existent Usage Tracking table "<Database>"."<Catalog>"."<Schema>"."<Table>".+
What am I doing wrong??
Txs for your quick help on this!
Kr,
A.

Can you post your entire NQSConfig.INI file?
According to the message guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12103_01/books/AnyMsg/AnyMsg_Messages.html#wp1007961) the error you're getting specifies the table that OBIEE is trying to use, so the fact that yours reports literally "<Database>"."<Catalog>"."<Schema>"."<Table>" makes me think maybe the wrong config is being picked up. Also your comment that using a file instead of DB doesn't work either.

App won't install due to lack of space - with enough space on the phone

I try to install the navigation TomTom western Europe with size 1,6 gb. ITunes and phone says that I have 2,7GB free, but it refuse to install due to lack of space?

Navigon needs at least 3.3gb to install(Twice the apps size, at a minimum). To make sure you have enough space you should allow no less than 4gb. The space will be freed up once installation is complete.

Installing PSE12 Continually crashes my DVD player during install. Cannot open or use DVD and it won't open. Finally got it installed, but program blinks continuely when trying to open program. It then opens after a long wait.

Sorry this is my first time in the Adobe forum. I pretty much asked everything in my title. The installation process took me several hours to finally get it loaded. Continually crashes my DVD player and I have to use a pin to open it to get to the disc. This is a new disc just purchased a few days ago. Read where this program has had its share of problems on the internet. After installing the program, it blinks continually for a long time before it ever opens. Rather annoying to say the least. Need this program to get me started in my work.
Will this program work even though it blinks for a long time when opening it? Seems to work, but since I am not that familiar with it, I really don't know just yet.
Thank you for your input.

You're right. It wasn't QuickTime itself. I solved all the problems myself.
The main reason why QuickTime files weren't working was because the newest audio driver from Creative released July 2007 (using their autoupdate) is apparently for Windows Vista (it has the name Vista in the update title). Why that update showed up on my Windows XP Pro system, I have no idea. So, I went to Creative's site and got the driver before the latest release, and all works well.
The Microsoft update (from June 2007, I noticed today, not July) is another issue. It's based around the file P17RunE.dll, which is something from Microsoft for the SoundBlaster. Not sure what it does, but I don't need it.
Sorry for wasting all your time on a non QuickTime issue, but thanks for the help.

DVD Movies won't play after 10.4.10 / DVD Player 4.6.1 Updates...

CDs will boot fine, blank DVDs will mount fine, but when I insert a DVD movie; the drive won't mount and the DVD player will not play my discs. I currently have a Pioneer DVR-109 installed in my PowerPC G5. Any information or help please.

SOME GOOD NEWS!
IT DEFINITELY IS A TIGER ISSUE... here's a little workaround... although in a tricky way, i got my commercial dvd's to finally play. do the following and let me know if it will work for you as well.
-insert a movie dvd (commercial)
-when told that the disc is not readable and prompted to eject or ignore hit ignore
-you will not see the disc mount on your desktop
-open vlc and hit play. choose "disc" for destination and hit okay (don't try with apple's dvd player, IT WILL NOT WORK)
-you will now see the movie title in your playlist, select it and play it... it works!!
good luck and until we find a permanent fix we can still watch movies on our macs! BTW, i used vlc 0.8.6c for this test on 10.4.10. incase you're not familiar with vlc, it's a free video player and you can download it from number of places on the internet.

NEW Satellite A505 - Blu-ray won't play on WinDVD or Toshiba DVD player

I purchased a Satellite A505 (Windows 7) with a Blu-ray disc player that was pre-loaded with WinDVD, Toshiba DVD player, and one other player (?) - all this software was added 12/21/2009 (by the manufacturer). When I put in a Blu-ray disc WinDVD stops responding and I have to start the task manager to "end task." The Toshiba player says "media not supported." I used the recommended compatibility settings (Windows XP) and it says "incompatible application." I tried using a Sony Vaio w/ Blu-ray and had no problems with the same disc using WinDVD. I don't know what's wrong (and I'm not super tech savvy) - my settings, my drivers, my hardware... ???
I also downloaded the free trial of Corel's WinDVD 2010 and it wouldn't play on that either...
*Note - my model number is A505-S6012 but I can't find this as an existing model on any of the Toshiba sites. It was delivered to the store around 1/4/10, so it's brand new. The A505-S6990 has most of the same features though.

jacuielaura,
I had the exact same issue with the Win DVD BD that was preloaded on my A505-S6014 when I purchased it. I myself also downloaded the Win DVD 2010 free trial and it did not work. Reason being is that they are only allowing people to trial the DVD version of Win DVD 2010 and not the Win DVD BD 2010. I also tried Cyberlink's PowerDVD and it worked but it digitized terribly. So I uninstalled both trials and went to support.toshiba.com and found what I needed to fix it.
I recommend you uninstall the original Win DVD BD version you have and any trial editions you downloaded and follow what I have listed below to fix your problem.
This is only a recommendation. Uninstall and install software at your own risk. If this fix doesn't work for you then you will have to call Toshiba and request a disc to reinstall your original software you uninstalled.
This is how I fixed mine:
Go to Support > Download > then choose your category (Laptop) then your Family (Satellite) then you're model #(A505-6012). Or you can just enter S6012 in the search box and it should bring up a list of all Laptop models with S6012 in them. Choose yours and click Go.
Now from the two drop down lists choose which Operating system: (Windows 7 64 bit) should be what you have, then choose Blu-Ray in the 2nd drop down list.
Download and SAVE these files to your desktop or My Downloads folder so you do not have to search for them again after you reboot.
You should now see this listed:
WinDVD BD for Toshiba for Windows 7 (32/64)(v8.0; 11-05-2009; 176.1M)
Also you will need to download the (Intel Management Engine Interface driver) which is listed in the drop down list under Utility (2nd page):
Intel Management Engine Interface for Windows XP/7 (32/64)(v6.0.0.1184; 10-08-2009; 6.39M)
Reboot after each installation even if it doesnt tell you to.
After both downloads have been installed and the OS is completely loaded again, insert a Blu-Ray disc and hopefully it should automatically play.
P.S. When playing Blu-Ray's I turn my power management to Performance. This may also help.
Good luck!

Installing Wii gaming system and DVD player

How do I install my Wii gaming system and DVD player? I have an old floor model tv. Prior to Fios, I used a RF audio/video modulator. I still have old movies that my kids want to watch. Thanks! I'm not purchasing a new tv when the old one still works.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Fios should not change anything when it comes to your DVD player or Wii. If you don't have the connectors for everything I would suggest something like a RCA splitter. I take it you dont have a HDTV.

Trying to install Panther, could not find DVD player

While trying to install panther 10.3 if would get to the end and give the message that there were errors installing the software. I was asked if it would play a dvd and found out it wouldn't. The dvd icon would come up but when i clicked on it there would be a couple of things video and audio. Nothing would work and then I tried to find the DVD player and it wasn't in applications or anywhere else I could think of.
I don't have the original 10.2 disks, just the 10.3 upgrade.
Any ideas?

I replaced the CD with another and it works fine -- I guess its the drive.

How can I select the minimum size of Elements 10? It won't install due to lack of disk space on C:

I have just purchased and downloaded Elements 10. Can't install it due to insufficient disk space on my C drive. I have enough space on my D drive, but it will not install there, probably because my sustem files are on C drive. The Install wisard does not provide for a selection of the size of Elements 10. Is there a way to select the minimum size? If so, how can I do this?

There is not an option to customize the installation. The system requirements for Photoshop Elements 10 request that you at least have 4 gigabytes free, plus more for installation, how much free space do you have on your C drive?

What's the precise text of the message you're getting with that, please, TK? (There's a few different error messages I can think of that you might be getting.)

Itunes won't install due to problem with package.

I went to upgrade my itunes to the 7.3.2 and it froze in the middle of it. I restarted my computer and then my itunes won't show up nor download. I tried to use the apple installer and it gets most of the way through when the following message appears: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330." I have tried installing the program on it's own using tools--> download only and that did not work. I also tried using a different user account and that also did not work. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am using a PC and have windows XP. Thank you.

Hi Royb,
first i excuse myself for my english...its not too bad but sometimes i make mistakes... however
perhaps you can help me with my problem as well. i did the log file as well and i suppose its something to do with the ipod functions in itunes. everywhere in the logfile where the pattern "2330" matches is something like this:
MSI (c) (A0:08) [21:33:37:187]: Note: 1: 2330 2: 23 3: C:\Programme\iPod
MSI (c) (A0:08) [21:33:37:187]: Transforming table Error.
DEBUG: Error 2330: Error getting file attributes: C:\Programme\iPod. GetLastError: 23
Bei der Installation dieses Pakets ist ein unerwarteter Fehler aufgetreten. Es liegt eventuell ein das Paket betreffendes Problem vor. Der Fehlercode ist 2330. Argumente: 23, C:\Programme\iPod,
AppSearch: Eigenschaft: EXISTINGINSTALLDIR, Signatur: Locate_EXISTINGINSTALLDIR
AppSearch: Eigenschaft: EXISTINGIPODINSTALLDIR, Signatur: Locate_EXISTINGIPODINSTALLDIR
in case the german language causes problems with the analysis i tried to translate it into proper english:
MSI (c) (A0:08) [21:33:37:187]: Note: 1: 2330 2: 23 3: C:\Programme\iPod
MSI (c) (A0:08) [21:33:37:187]: Transforming table Error.

During the installation an error occured. Maybe there is a packet problem. The error code is 2330. Arguments: 23, C:\Programme\iPod,
AppSearch: Attribute: EXISTINGINSTALLDIR, Signature: Locate_EXISTINGINSTALLDIR
AppSearch: Attribute: EXISTINGIPODINSTALLDIR, Signature: Locate_EXISTINGIPODINSTALLDIR
I hope this helps...
It would be very nice if you help me, otherwise i see no other way than formationg windows...and i hate that...thats why mac is better -.-
however plase help me and if it helps i can send u the hole logfile. =)

Libx32-glibc won't install due to gcc-multilib-x32 dependency

I'm trying to install the libx32-glibc package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libx32-glibc/) which does not list any dependencies on the package web page. However, when I try to install it, it shows this message:
==> Making package: libx32-glibc 2.17_5-1 (****)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
[sudo] password for ****:
error: target not found: gcc-multilib-x32>=4.7
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
I need libx32-glibc to install gcc-multilib-x32 which gives this message when trying to install:
$ makepkg -s
==> Making package: gcc-multilib-x32 4.8.0_3-1 (****)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
[sudo] password for ****:
error: target not found: libx32-glibc>=2.17
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
How can I get gcc-multilib-x32 to install? I tried removing the dependency check in the PKGBUILD but that had other issues.

The circular dependency was made intentionally, it is actually the same circular dependency you can find in the main repo: gcc -> gcc-libs -> glibc -> gcc (make). Because making glibc requires a valid gcc while gcc requires glibc to be functional.
To build this, you actually need the packages glibc-x32-seed and gcc-x32-seed. Then you can build libx32-glibc to replace glibc-x32-seed, then eventually gcc-multilib-x32 to replace gcc-x32-seed.
There're more information about this in this thread and this blog post in Chinese.
