10.5.5 Installer is telling me i can't install on either hd volumes i have!

So the title explains all. When i open the OS X 10.5.5 update and the Installer asks me what volume i would like it installed on i see the exclamation icon over both partitions of my drive. My Macbook was just re-formatted the same day. Clean hd and install?? What gives? This one stumps me..... any advice or help is much appreciated!
thnx,
-Aleks

Since there are multiple versions of Leopard on the install disks, that needed asking. As Kappy noted, you need the COMBO update and I'd recommend 10.5.6 at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1056comboupdate .html

    Hi kensb!
    I would recommend that you attempt to reinstall all of the programs and components of iTunes on your machine and reinstall everything again. It can be tricky to get everything uninstalled, so we have an article that can help you make sure you uninstall everything:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Specifically, when it comes to uninstalling, you will want to uninstall applications in this order:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer.
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.
    You will then want to follow the links in those articles to download the latest package of iTunes software for your computer and install again from there. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden

    My Itunes keeps telling me I can't play certain songs because I already have five computers authorized, but I don't???  How do I fix this.  I know over the years, I have had a lot of different computers at my work and that is the only place I use my Itunes at.  So how do you unauthorize a computer that isn't even around anymore??

    Make sure that yo have the boxed chanced to only sync the checked music. It appears that it is trying to sync ore than those.
    You can try unsycing all music and resyncing.

  • How can I create an installer for my project that can work on 32-bit Windows if I have 64-bit Windows Vista?

    Hi, 
    I made a LabVIEW project that works perfectly and made an installer for it. I tested the installer on my own computer and everything worked well. The goal for my installer was to put it on multiple computers. So I tried to do this on another computer that has Vista 32-bit and it told me that the installer can only run on 64-bit computers. I tried to choose to install run-time 32bit and it did not change anything, there was still a message to tell me that this installer only can be ran on 64-bit computers. How can I make an installer that works on 32-bit computers? 
    Thank you. 
    Solved!

    The code will have to recompile, but yes it should work.  I recommend making a backup before proceeding just in case.

  • Each time I try to install itunes I get a windows installer message telling me that the installation package could not be opened.  Verify that the package exists and that you can access it???????????

    Each time I try to install itunes I get a windows installer message telling me that the installation package could not be opened.  Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package.....

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    I can't uninstall iTunes on my computer...it keeps telling me it can't find the installer package.  Any suggestions?  I have tried to delete all the iTunes components already, it didn't work.

    (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 iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Installation failed installation completed through some components failed to instal correctly

    Hello i've been really exited to donload photoshop and so i decided to try the free version i downloaded creative cloud and went into th eapps and click on photoshop try it free i waited a few 30 mins and it stopped and told me this
    installation failed installation completed through some components failed to instal correctly.
    and then i was like whatttt?!?!?!?!?
    so I decided to come here and ask why this is happening please answer ASAP I really need photoshop for important stuff!!!

    Try restarting your computer, then try again. Awhile back, some of the apps which I think included photoshop require the microsoft runtime to be updated. That runtime requires a restart to finish installing. But since it is a piggyback program, the error code telling you do so is hidden in the log file.
    If it still does not install let us know.

  • Help - "Installation failed" Mac OSX could not be installed

    I have had a really lousy day with the Leopard install. I got the five license family pack.
    2 x white MacBooks - fine - although on one the DVD kept spitting it out and after about 10 goes it worked.
    1 x Mac Mini - blue screen upon restart. Still not fixed.
    1 x 24 iMac - fine
    1 x 17 iMac - DISASTER
    I need help on the last one and can't find a post anywhere.
    I did the install. It started back up and I was ready to rock and roll. But it changed by account to "standard" rather than "administrator". Spoke to Apple, suggest erase and clean install, started that, then read a post on how to fix this after wiping. So that put me in a foul mood...
    Then, I put the Leopard disk in and then did the erase, repair, verify, etc. I then chose the now blank hard drive as the destination drive. It then goes through the motions of calculating the time remaining, etc.
    After about 5 minutes of "installing" I get a whopping great big exclamation mark and the text "Installation failed, Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer, The installer could not validate the contents of the "base system". Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again". I have tried this a few times - no good. Apple Australia is now closed for the night.
    So I went back to my original 10.4.8 iMac install disc and thought I would try that. I would then put Leopard over the top of that. It says it can't install this operating system on the selected drive.
    So, I can't install the new, I can't install the old.
    HELP!!!
    Thanks,

    Me and my folks bought a copy each. I installed mine on my Macbook Pro and there was no issue. I went to my folks to help them as they are not as confident as me and had a disaster. They have a first generation current configuration iMac G5 (the one just before isight was added). But the installer completely freaked. The log spat out heaps of errors. Each attempt got completely different behavior. Sometimes it would just go idle and do nothing more. Two attempts that got further than the idled attempts ended up failing about half way through telling me the disk is damaged. The disk looks perfect and the installer verification checks out. I checked the disk on my MBP and it checks out there too. No trouble starting up from it or accessing any of it's features. So I tried it out on my macbook pro and it works fine. So I checked out the iMac with disk first aid and it checks out also. The end result was I had to reinstall 10.4 and run the updates over it and give up. Took me all week end (just finished just now)... Also the ROM is ok as I installed the 10.4 version without a single error in the log. They will be returning their copy to the store monday!
    --- Added
    Incidentally. When I installed at home I was able to deselect everything except the system essentials. But at my folks the installer wouldn't allow me to deselect the languages. The difference between the two is I did a fresh installer and they asked for me to just do an update. In my attempts I did end up doing an archived install, no difference. Only thing I didn't do was a format install. In the end I should have tried as I had to reinstall 10.4 from scratch anyway and ret a few things as the installer had partially installed the new OS. I just didn't have much faith in the formatted install from working either as at the time I wasn't sure if the ROM had an issue with the disk or if there was some fundamental conflict with the hardware, either case wouldn't suggest that approach would work any better.
