App refuses to install

I purchased GTA III and anytime I try to sync my iPod with the it in there, it just refuses to install it.

iTunes doesn't support drag and drop for apps.
Are you clicking the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window?
Which app is this?

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

What exactly means "refuses"?
This is the message which comes up if I try to update (from the Help menu) or re-install my licenced copies of CS6 or Photoshop Elements 9.
“We've encountered the following issues
Installer failed to initialize.Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
Get Adobe Support Advisor”
OR
on trying to open PhotoshopCS6 I get this message:-
“Adobe Application Manager required to start your trial, is missing or damaged.
Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager_uk”
When I follow these instructions and try and start up/install or update Photoshop CS6 I get the same messages all over again. This has been going on since Tuesday afternoon and I am anxiuous to resolve the problem. For several years now all this has worked perfectly through your website and I cannot understand what has changed. Once I cancel these messages the products themselves seem to function OK. When I attempt to use Adobe Update Manager I get the same messages as above. You will see that my products are properly licensed and up to date. Have you any solution?

TS1702 Every time I try to install an app of the App Store. The iPad refuses to install it and it just says waiting... For hours. Is there a way to fix this problem?

I am unable to install any applications from the App Store. Every time I try to install an app the iPad refuses to install it and it just says waiting... For hours. Is there a way I can fix this? If so, how?

I have posted these suggestions many times in the iOS forum and a number of these things have worked for other is the past. Maybe one of them will work for you.
Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
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.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

My published setup.exe is detecting old UNINSTALLED version of my app and refuses to install (even after Reg sweep).

(question moved.)

(question moved.)
I would suspect your MSI is not removing previous versions of your app prior to installing the current version of your app because it wasn't created properly. I use Install Shield limited edition to create MSI's. However I've not tried using it to remove
previously installed revs of the same app if one exists. And even then if the previously installed app had some sort of files you didn't want removed that would have to be considered somehow in case the new rev needed to keep those files for some reason.
Unless you created your own installation .exe which can be done. Then the code in it is not working to do that.

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.

HELP: Compressor 3.0.2 Update refuses to install.

I needed to install DVDSP CONTENT so I used FCPS2 Installer Disk. Unavoidably, ALL apps were re-intalled before the content loaded. So I downloaded all the app updates. All updated fine except Compressor 3.0. The 3.0.2 Update refuses to install. And, Compressor refuses to fully start-up.
There is a Receipt PKG for Compressor 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2, plus Qmaster_Frameworks.pkg 3.0 and Qmaster.pkg 3.0
Removing 3.0.2 doesn't allow either Compressor 3.0.1 or 3.0.1 to install.
1) Any idea what's wrong and/or a simple way of fixing?
2) Is there a way of Installing Compressor 3.0 from the Install Disk WITHOUT returning all the other apps to their original state?
< WHY on earth does the Install UPDATE versions that are obviously newer with older versions? >
3) Will Pacifist auto-remove the current version of Compressor or do I still need to TRY to do this manually?

Interesting. Check one thing for me. Go to your Control Panels, click on Software Update, and see if "Download important updates automatically" is enabled. If not, enable it, then click the Check Now button. This will download the file to your drive, and you should see it.
If you do this, and the file still isn't there, then I'm stumped as to why it isn't downloading. Like I said, I had this same issue on both my computers, and the same solution worked both times.
Let me know how this turns out.

Aperture update refusing to install

Although i have Aperture 3.3 installed the update to 3.3.2 refuses to install with message "Aperture 3.0 or later is required to install this update." This is the reason what App Store ist not listing Aperture when an update is available.
What could i do to overcome this?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6)
that cannot be your system, if you are using Aperture 3.3?
Have you moved Aperture from the Applications folder to a subfolder or renamed it? To install the update, aperture must be named simply "Aperture", without any additions and located in the Applications folder on your System volume.

App refuses to update (or re-download after deletion)!

Soulver refuses to update!
I have a current-gen Mac mini with 16Gb RAM and plenty of free disk space, running 10.8.5. Some screenshots:
https://db.tt/UlGF2UfL
https://db.tt/sQ5g04ht
https://db.tt/yfUiDwcs
From within Launchpad I selected Soulver and deleted it, then returned to the App Store. Unfortunately, I can't download the app either!

Same problem here. IMDB, TWC (weather app) Goodreader… Started this morning, out of the blue.
After deleting IMDB (hoping to reinstall), that app cannot be installed again! Trying to, gets you the same “Update unavailable” error.
Also, the problematic apps are not listed in my “Purchased” list (which is the real problem I think).
I also tried through iTunes. Same problem.
Can someone confirm that the problem apps are not showing in your purchased list?
I don’t know if it’s on Apple’s side (in which case it will get fixed) or on my side (meaning I will have to do something).
(I contacted Apple, waiting for reply.)

Maverick refuses to install on macbook hard drive

I have downloaded Maverick from App store but it refuses to install on Macbook HD. Not sure what is the problem. Can anyone help please.

What error message was generated? Have you done these:
Follow proper upgrade practices;
Remove all third-party peripherals.
Repair your hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
Backup your computer to an external drive.
Be sure you have at least 20 GBs of free space on your hard drive.
Download the Mavericks installer application.
Upon completion do not run the installer, but quit the installer.
Make a copy of the installer in your Downloads folder before you proceed with installing.
Make a bootable flash drive installer.
Install Mavericks on your computer.
Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.
My personal recommendation is that you backup your computer after making the flash drive installer, then boot from the flash drive installer, erase your hard drive, and install Mavericks. Test the system out thoroughly until you are satisfied it's working properly for you. Then restore your data from the backup you made.

Some of my apps refuse to open. For example, google crome gives me the message that it quit unexpectedly and gives me the option to submit a report to no resolve. Does anyone have suggestions?

Apps no longer install from iTunes and disappear from home screen

Everything went fine until a few days ago, with no change I can discern, apps no longer installed from iTunes. They did install when I deleted them in iTunes, synced, then installed from the Touch. Now even that is failing unless I reset settings on the Touch after every install session. Resets make these apps appear but I have to do it all over again to install new apps and, again, only from the Touch. I
've reset in iTunes twice to a brand new iPod. Have tried installing one app at a time and can't find a culprit. This is a new development so I'm not inclined to think it's hardware. Can a bad app do this to a second generation Touch three months old running 2.2? I've never been near a jaibreak thing.

If you mean hardware I wonder why it would develop out of nowhere. It's a flash drive, yes? If it's a software problem wouldn't it be fixed by a reset. Remember that apps show up after resetting settings on the touch itself but doing that after every installation is a drag.

Creative Cloud Desktop app won't install error 207; Adobe server?

Is there a problem with some of Adobe.com servers? My employer just purchased a CC subscription for my work Mac, and the CC Desktop App won't install. I've restarted my Mac, quit all Adobe products, redownloaded the DMG file (creativecloudinstaller.dmg), and checked to make sure my firewall is off. But I still get an error message #207. My DNS servers are set to the same ones that other Macs in my group are set to, and they have CC on their Macs.
I don't know if it's related, but I can't load "adobe.com" in my browser, either. All other webpages are fine, including (obviously) this forum.
I am using OS 10.8.5, connected via Ethernet, and my browser is Chrome.

Thank you for your help, Ned. I also called Adobe help via phone, and he confirmed that my company's server needed to whitelist several Adobe sites. The company had revised their servers not long ago, and evidently did not transfer their old whitelists (which is why my coworkers had previously been able to access Creative Cloud). The phone support person emailed me a helpful list that I could forward to our company's tech support center—but the link you supplied in your response was also perfectly relevant.

Updated CC today .. now the app manager is indicating only ten apps are now installed.

I updated all apps today as per normal via the CC App Manager. All apps successfully updated, until Photoshop, which failed to update. I tried more than several times to update but it kept failing.
I then decided to close the CC Manager and restart. When I accessed the Manager again and went to View Updates & Requests, the list indicated only ten apps were installed, and the rest had to be installed (AGAIN). I checked my Applications Folder and all the CC apps were still installed and working.
I haven't received any error messages. However when I returned to the website the apps were indicating for me to download trial versions. My CC account is current and paid up til March 2016. Now I have just accessed my Adobe ID account and checked under Plans & Products section, but it is indicating I have no No Registered Products.
So currently my Adobe Creative Cloud Manager is indicating I have ten apps up to date (Lightroom 5, Acrobat XI Pro, Edge Animate CC, Edge Code CC, Edge Inspect CC, Edge Reflow CC, Extendscript Toolkit CC, Flash Builder Premium, Gaming SDK 1.4, Scout CC) but all other key applications have the install icon by their side (Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC ...etc).
I started on Photoshop 4 many years ago and have never had any issue with any of the Creative Suite's. I also had issue with my Adobe ID not being accepted, even when copy/pasting from my Keychain Access. I had to reset my password (used the same password anyway).
My confidence in Creative Cloud is now somewhat diminished and I am considering canceling my CC subscription and returning to CS5 - because it works!
EDIT: Since starting to write this the Adobe ID/ Community site has logged my account out unexpectedly. Not good.
Adobe Creative Cloud v 1.9.1.474
Yosemite 10.10
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014)
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
APPLE SSD SM0256F: 256GB
Intel Iris Pro 1536MB
Adobe ID: Craig Mathews

I decided to uninstall Adobe Desktop Manager and reinstall, and seems to have remedied all of the CC apps issue...
However still getting randomly logged out of my account and my password is not being accepted...
Only way I got access again was to open three instances of the log in page and try again - third window opened, other two declared my password was wrong >_<
This new online / cloud system is terrible. Might just reinstall CS5 anyway and be done with this crap. Meh!
