****How to speed up/Fix installation errors on your Mac****

I recently went to the geniuos bar, and got some help. For some reason my Mac wouldnt install anything made by Apple. Not iTunes, iPhoto, even iLife. I was stuck, but they helped. The main problem that happens quite abit is a problem with your OS. All you have to do, is re-install your OS. How do you do that? Well, here we go.
First, grab your Mac OS X install disk.
Next, double-click on the Install Mac OS X icon in the CD on your desktop.
Then, Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pannel where you select the destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk.
Then, Click options. If you want to save your existing files, users, and network settings, (yes, you want to. It saves EVERYTHING.)
Then, click continue.
Finally, click install.
Let it install, and then when installation is done, let your computer boot up. As it boots up, it will put all of your stuff back where it was. Then, when you get to your desktop, update your version of OS X to the newest version. Finally, go into /your name/previous systems. Now, delete previous system 1. There you go! Now, all your files are back where they where, the problems are fixed, and your Mac should be running like they are new!
(NOTE: After doing this, you may have to re-install the plugins for the Safari webbrowser.)

Kelly:
Glad a re-install solved your issue. However, it is not the only, nor is necessarily the best solution to some issues.
In terms of the re-install one should always backup the Users Folder, if you have any data on it, and any third party apps you want to save.
Again, I am glad your issue was resolved to your satisfaction.
Good luck.

How can I resolve installation errors DF024 & DF037 for CS5.5 on Mac?

Please help. I've gone through the forum posts, as well as searched the Internet, and find the matter daunting. Have tried to implement a solution and may have caused more problems. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
PROBLEM:
I am unable to uninstall or reinstall both Dreamweaver 5.5 and CS 5.5.
Continually get extensive number of the following errors:
ERROR DF024 Unable to preserve original file...
ERROR DF024 Unable to move file…
ERROR DF037 Unable to delete directory…
SYSTEM CONFIG:
Adobe CS 5.5
Mac OS 10.7.4
MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz
Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram
BACKGROUND (History appears chronologically in 4 parts.):
CS 5.5 was already installed and functioning fine, then upgraded from OS 10.6 to 10.7. Noticed issues with elements not appearing in DISPLAY VIEW of Dreamweaver, but was correct in CODE VIEW and BROWSER PREVIEW.
Tried to reinstall and uninstall Dreamweaver 5.5 several times using the CS 5.5 installation disk. Consistently got DF024 errors. NOTE: After first attempt. installer marked Dreamweaver as already installed, but not the others. Using the Finder, the Dreamweaver directory appears to be empty unless the files are now hidden. Nothing regarding the application can be seen in the Trash. Also unable to launch any other Adobe CS apps.

SLConfig.xml appeared to be an alias pointing to a file of the same name in the Mac version. Went to original file, made a new alias and replaced the corrupted file.
Then rebooted system and relaunched CSS5.5 Installer with all apps selected. Program started and ran for about 15 min before reporting more errors, now with error DF037 as well. Did this again with the same results except the DF037 error did not reappear. It appears the the problems are mostly in two directories:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/
and
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ssc/DesignSuitePremium-CS5.5-Win-GM/
but I am not sure how to best resolve this.

Hi Sharad,
Thank you for your reply.
Since my initial posting here, I've attempted a few more installations. Each time a file from /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ssc/ would appear with the same error DF024, and it was always an alias. So each time I would replace the old alias with a new manually created alias pointing to the same original as the old alias. Sure enough, when I relaunched the installer, error DF024 with the old alias no longer appeared, but a new error DF042 with another alias from the same directory did appear. Then I manually replaced all aliases found in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ssc/ directory with new ones I created.
Upon rebooting and relaunching the installer program, the program did not stop at around 12% as consistently it did up until now. Instead, it progressed to 80% before it stopped and reported a huge number of new errors. Most of them pertain to the inability to roll back the installation it had attempted. No files from /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ssc/ appeared in the new log report.
To gain a better understanding of the logs, I downloaded AdobeSupportAdvisor and tried using it, but it referred me to online solutions that weren't relevant to my situation (i.e., one mentions Photoshop CS4 and I've never installed CS4).
I also tried following the articles from the Adobe knowledgebase:
cspid_84451: Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6
which is fine if you only have a few errors, and
cspid_83481: Installation, launch log errors | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CCM
which doesn't list error DF024.
At this point I've decided to not not make anymore attempts without some expert guidance.
The log file seem too large to post here. If you would like review the log, I can perhaps post it on www.pastebin.com unless you can suggest a better way. Please let me know.

Installation error when installing CS6 on Mac?

I keep getting an installation error when I try to install CS6 on my Macbook Pro. It says "installer failed to initialize, this could be due to a missing file". It also shows troubleshooting tips. I have tried them and none of them work. I also tried disc repair and multiple other troubleshooting advice from this site. Nothing has worked yet. Help!

keep getting "general installation error" message Mac OSX 10.8.5/Safari 6.0.5 Followed all the instructions for uninstalling and clean installing. Just wont install

Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
Check BOTH places and you have to restart Finder
Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
Select "Open"
Open TIme Machine
Go back to September 28 or earlier.
You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
(I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
Right click it and select "Restore to"
Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.

Mac 10.7.5 Installation Errors

Macbook Pro OSX 10.7.5
Trying to install Adobe Flash 15
No flash at the moment since I tried a clean install.
Firefox 32.0.3
I have repeatedly had issues on my Mac since its purchase in 2011 with installing Flash, to the point that I disabled automatic updates within a few months of purchasing my mac. Quite literally every time that I must update flash I end up spending hours jumping through hoops (read: attempting clean installs for a few days) to try get the newest flash; most of the time I just end up reverting to an older version that definitely works already, which is Version 14 at this point in time (I have had an older 14 for a while, ignoring the prompts to update to new 14 and then 15 because I knew something like this would happen again, for the nth time in a row, but old 14 started to have audio issues and I tried to update to 15, to no avail). Every installation, with the online or offline installer, ends up in 'general installation error' messages, even with clean install attempts multiple times in a row. It even takes some time just to get older versions installed, despite the fact that they worked before I de-installed them to get to the new version. I don't entirely understand what the FlashPlayerInstallManager.log is saying, but perhaps there's something in there that must point to what the issue is. I am hoping that there is some small thing that has been plaguing my Mac since its purchase that can be fixed so that I never have to deal with this incredibly frustrating issue ever again, but I suspect that somehow my Mac OSX is being overlooked every single time there is an update instead, which is really irritating. If one would like to look at the .log, I would be happy to send it, if that could possibly help in any manner.

This issue has not yet been resolved, despite more attempts at clean installations. I cannot get any version of flash now, regardless of how recent it is.

provide solution.

Well I didn't enter a hostname from my ISP, but I did need to enter as a Host Domain the sub-domain (CNAME) that we use for our server. Don't know all the proper terminology, but I hope that's clear enough to someone to help. As soon as I did that, it worked again.
Thanks for the tip,

GENERAL INSTALLATION ERROR (MAC)

Okay, so like everyone else has said I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING that has been posted thus far.
I have a Mac running 10.8.5 and I can't get around this general installation error that pops up every time I'm at 50%. I do not want to download something so that I can download THIS. That's ridiculous. What can I do to have any flash player back on my computer??
I've uninstalled older version as advised (by downloading something of course), and it didn't work.
I've tried to run it through terminal
I've downloaded Firefox instead of Safari and it didn't make a difference
I've followed links to other installers that have been posted....
I'm at a loss. Please HELP.

Your troubles aren't coming from Flash Player.
You're missing a file that was made visible by the 10.8.5 update. Hundreds of thousands of Mac users all over the world deleted it, not knowing what it was. It causes this when it's missing.
Download this file: "Secrets" pereference pane
And this one: mach_kernel.zip
Install Secrets, and open your System Preferences.
Open the Secrets Preference Pane, and check "Show hidden files"
You'll need to press the "Quit this" button,
and restart Finder, by right clicking the Dock icon.
Then, place the mach_kernel.zip file in the Mac HD directory,
and unzip it. You should see a "faded" mach_kernel file appear.
Trash the zip file.
Reopen your System Preferences and uncheck "Show Hidden files".
Instead of quitting Finder and relaunching it, reboot your Mac.
Your Flash Player installer won't quit anymore.

General Installation Error, mac 10.8.2

I downloaded the latest flash player from the abode website (for mac, safari, english). Download is fine. Installation proceeds to about 50% completion and then terminates with a "General Installation Error". Here's the configuration:
Mac intel core 2 duo 2.26 GHz
OS 10.8.2
Safari 6.0.2
I downloaded the flash player uninstaller, and it reported a successful uninstall. Also checked for directories in /Library/Internet Plugins and the (Disabled) folder. No flash player components left.
Checked pop-up blocker (it's not set), system preferences (download apps from any source is checked). Also disabled norton auto-protect. Install still fails.
I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There doesn't appear to be a solution to these particular error messages from Adobe. I have followed the guidance from Adobe.com (uninstalled and re-installed) and then followed the guidance in this forum post and others using the terminal route, all without luck. I have no Flash functionality (other than in Chrome) which is extremely annoying.
My setup is MacBookPro Mavericks 10.9. Firewall is off (temporarily). No virus software. No remnants of Flash as far as I can tell. Logged into a administrator account.
Here's the log for "flash" from console:

Mac: Adobe Reader Installation error

I get the following error when trying to install Adobe Reader on my Mac (running OS X 10.8.4):
dyld: DYLD_environment variables being ignored because main executable
(/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Resources/runner) is setuid or setgid installer:
Package name is Adobe Reader XI (11.0.03) Installer: Installing at base path / installer: The install failed (The
Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for
assistance.)
Evidently the install process is running afoul of some security issue but I don't know how to work around the problem.
Would appreciate any pointers. Thanks.

Problem solved.
I repaired disk permissions using Disk Utility. After that Acrobat Reader installed just fine.
That was what I was going to suggest.
"setuid or setgid installer" errors are ALWAYS permissions related.

Installation Error - Mac OSX Lion

I got the following installation error (four attempts same error). I launched Activity Monitor as instructed to terminate the indicated activity, but it wasn't listed as running. Any clues?

You should try resetting the PRAM by rebooting while simultaneously holding down the Command-Option-P-R keys until you hear the Second chimes. That may clear it. However, in all honesty, the message you're getting does sound like either a very corrupted or failing hard drive. You may need to take it in to Apple.
Hope this helps
