    Need help with "OS X Update Combined (10.8.2) can't be installed on this disk. An error occurred while evaluating Javascript for the package."
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    Thanks

    Well, I've tried your solution without luck.
    So, I tried reinstalling OS X Mountain Lion (without formatting the HDD) and it worked! I did it like this:
    - Turned on my MBP while holding down Command-R to start OS X Recovery
    - Chose the option to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion
    After a while, the system rebooted and OS X 10.8.2 was already installed. All my data remained on the HDD since I didn't format it before reinstalling OS X.
    Hope it helps some of you with the same problem.

  • 10.8.2 update: can't install "error occurred while evaluating Javascript for the package"

    Greetings All-
    I'm trying to update from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2 on my Macbook Air. When I downloaded the .dmg from Apple and ran it, I got the following error:
    "OS X Update Can't be installed on this disk. An error occurred while evaluating JavaScript for the package."
    So far, I've done the following, all to no avail:
    (1) Updated Java to v7 per Java's website, no change
    (2) Downloaded the 10.8.2 combo update, no change
    (3) Found Apple's OS X Java update (which is still at v6)- get an error at install that "the contents of the disk can't be changed"
    (4) Restarted at each step
    Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
    Thanks!

    upgrading to osx 10.6.8 fails. I see errors in the /var/log/install.log of "An unexpected error occurred while moving files to the final destination." Underlying Error=(Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=5 "The operation couldn’t be completed. Input/out. Any thoughts on what is causing these errors and the upgrade failure?
    Thanks

    I have no idea what the specific error code means but input/output errors can sometimes mean a disk is failing. Make a couple of backups of all important data before doing anything else.
    Verify your startup disk using the First Aid tab in Disk Utility. If the disk needs repair boot from your Leopard DVD and repair your disk from Disk Utility under Utilities on the screen after you choose your language. Repeat the repair process until Disk Utility reports all is well.
    If Disk Utility doesn't find any errors you might want to try a new download of the update and keep a sharp eye on your HD for anything else that might indicate all is not well. Take special care to back up important data.
    If Disk Utility finds errors it would probably be a good idea to pay a visit to the Apple Store to have them check out your hard drive even if Disk Utility is able to repair the errors.

    Sorry to hear your Adobe experience has been less than stellar.  I'll try to help...
    1.  Photoshop 14.2.1 is now two releases out of date.  You might want to go to your Creative Cloud application and ask it to install Photoshop CC (2014).  Earlier this year Adobe released 2014.0 as a separate install that can live side by side with 14.2.1.  Then just a few days ago they released 2014.1 as an in-place upgrade to 2014.0.
    2.  You may be able to update Camera Raw directly to version 8.6 by a link from this page:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    Best of luck to you.  Please let us know here if these things help.

    According to the iTunes specific error codes web site.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error9
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
    See if the iPad will boot up this way.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
