APPLICATION NOT DOWNLOADING/INSTALLATION COULD NOT BE STARTED

I've downloaded Yosemite several times only to receive the following messages as the 5.16GB download completes: The could not be downloaded. The installation could not be started. I have a 2011 Mac/4GB memory/plenty of space on hard drive/currently running Lion.

I'm trying to sell this Macbook ever since this whole faulty drive popped up, I needed new Macbook Pro ASAO for school so now I'm really trying to sell this Macbook. How could I repair it? Wouldn't I need to buy a new DVD drive? I just started trying partitioning my external HD so I could put the install disk on it but I keep getting this error message, it was the same with my newly encased HD that I'm trying to format. Here are pictures of what's happening.

Last thing I can do, won't let me make it bootable for some reason, on both HD's:

I really appreciate the help and response. Is it even worth it trying to buy a new DVD drive, installing it on my own. Then barely making any money off selling the Macbook? Any clue what kind of DVD drive I would need?

I just had the same problem this morning. I believe the app server starts and if you browser directly to your app you'd get it, but the connection between the appserver and the IDE is somehow lost. An easier solution than completely reinstalling for me was to delete the .Creator folder in my home directory (C;|Documents and Setting\<username>\.Creator) and restart Creator

Install Failed. Installer could not copy the necessary support files

I replaced the hard drive in my MacBook 13ac OS X" late 2009. I am trying to reinstall th OS and applications from th CDs that came with the computer. When I start the computer and try to install the OS, it starts to install, after about 2-3 minutes I get the following message. Install Failed. Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer. The Installer could not copy the necessary support files. Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again. I have done this several times with no luck. Is the CD missing something? Is there another way to do this?

Disconnect any attached hard drives.
Boot off the disk and try running Disk Utility Repair Disk and Repair Permissions. If that is successful, try to re-install. If that doesn't work boot off the disk and use Disk Utility to erase and reformat the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

After the iMac hung on the message and a "OFF button push reboot", I attempted to run Safari and the icon bounced once and the app did not run. "Safari Broken" couldn't surf the net.
I replaced the safari app file with an original 3.04 from a memory stick and rebooted and it ran the next time around.
Other attempts days later produced the same results. Safari Broken
Any method of correction? .

Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Error - A valid installer could not be found, using AAMEE and CS6

I receive the error - A valid installer could not be found, when using AAMEE 3.0 to create a CS6 Trial Package in Windows 7. I'm following the procedure documented here - http://blogs.adobe.com/oobe/tag/cs6 Imaging CS6-Attack of the Clones. I've tried both pointing at the DVD and pointing to a local folder, after copying the DVD to a local folder and copying the \payloads folder from the second DVD. I know the DVD is valid because I did a manual installation. I'm pointing at the folder that contains the Set-up.exe file, plus I've tried pointing at every other folder as well, with no success. I have a 40 user license for CS6 Master Collection for a classroom on our campus. I need to create a image for this classroom, and was thrilled that a solution was being provided to accomodate this, but AAMEE does not work! I'm working in a Windows 7 environment.
On top of this frustration, my Adobe ID is not working, I've used "chat" support and phone support and I can still not log in. They claim it has been escalated. When I explained the AAMEE error to the phone support rep, he informed me that there was no technical support and my only option was to post the question on the forum...but you have to log in with your Adobe ID to post a question! Round and round it goes. So I had to create another ID under a different email, just to post my question. I'm getting the mystery "an error has occurred, please try again", when I try to log in with my work Adobe ID.
Help! Anyone?

RESOLVED - Thanks in part to the ALBERT-in-Vancouver and Tushar Bammi thread concerning a similar problem. I dissected the PDApp.log. I had copied the installation DVDs to a local folder per the Deployment Guide, when installing from the DVD initially failed. But, PDApp.log stated - EnterpriseNativeApplet Individual media disks on fixed volumes are not supported, please use CD/DVD or mounted ISO/DMG media. That clued me in to trying to create the MSI using the DVDs again. My fault - that the original attempts to create the MSI from the DVDs did not work, I didn't realize I needed to run AAMEE with elevated privileges. Note - the earlier attempts when I was running AAMEE with elevated privileges and pointing to the locally copied installation files, failed. Interesting. I'm confused as to why the Deployment Guide directed my to create a product-install folder...
I haven't tested the MSI file yet, but if I have additional problems I will start a new thread.
Thanks.

Is that a 64-bit system? If so, although you're getting this on Windows 7 rather than Vista, the following document might be worth a try:

10.5.2 The Installer could not install some files in "/"

I have tried to upgrade my Inter Mac Mini Core Duo 1.66 to 10.5.2.
I ran the install through software update and proceeded through the 2 restarts. Once my mini restarted I checked "about my mac" to find that it still said the system was 10.5.1
I ran software update again to find that on trying to install i now get the message
Install Failed - The installer could not install some files in "/" please contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
I then tried the same with the combo updater and got the same message
I have tried to verfiy my disk or repaire permissions using disk utility for it to completely hang with the spinning beach ball and causes finder to crash.
I have also booted up with the leopard disk in and tried disk utility which says there are no problem with the disk but disk utility in leopard still hangs
Can anyone help??
Is anyone getting the same problem?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem installing the Leopard Graphics Update on my Dual 2.5 G5. Installing 10.5.2 went fine, but afterwards the graphics update would fail to install, with the same error message you got. I tried both Software Update and downloading the standalone installer.
But wait, there's more! I also can no longer repair permissions using Disk Utility. I get the following message: "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit." Booting from my Leopard install CD does allow me to fix permissions.
Lastly, my second internal hard drive is now also behaving oddly, Any time I try to drag a file to the Trash, I get a dialog box telling me: "The item "(file name)" will be deleted immediately. Are you sure you want to continue?"
I've run DiskWarrior from the CD and tried fsck in Single User mode (no errors found). Nothing seems to help
I had no problem updating to 10.5.2 on my MacBook, but the update to my desktop has been a real booger. Anyone who can offer any input, I'd sure appreciate it.

Installer could not validate...

I was using software update to get 10.5.8 and the garageband update but when the files were downloaded and about to be installed, I received the error message: "installer could not validate contents of the (garageband/10.5.8) package".
I have looked on other discussion topics and saw that repairing disk permissions often solved the problem, but it didn't do anything for me. When I repair disk permissions I get a bunch of "permissions differ..." messages but at the bottom it says "permissions repair complete".
Also, I tried downloading the updates directly from the apple website (including the combo update for 10.5.8) but those were both unable to be validated when they were downloaded
Is there something wrong with software update or my computer?
I don't have this problem downloading any other type of file
anything else i can do?

help plz?

Installer could not locate the data it needed... Entourage 2008

Hi, I'm a bit of newbie to Mac's... I am trying to work out why a copy of Entourage 2008 I have wont install... I have posted on the Mactopia forums but with no success, so I thought I would try here, as I am not sure if it is an Entourage/Microsoft issue or a Mac OS issue. Every time I try to install my downloaded e2008.iso (came with my Exchange server rental) I get the following error: "Install Failed. The installer could not locate the data it needed to install the software. Check your install media or internet connection and try again or contact the software manufacturer for assistance". I am assured that the download I have is complete and 'verified'. When I double click the .iso file, it mounts and then opens - i then click through 'Office Installer_mpkg / contents / distribution.dist to begin the install. If anyone has any advice on what I might be doing wrong I would appreciate it! Thanks.

Thanks - it is reputable (should be...) as it is from the company i get my exchange server rental through, part of the 'package' is a download of entourage or outlook. Unfortunately they do not offer very good mac support... Have gone back to them to make it their problem! thanks all the same.

Hi,
I suggest uninstalling the printer drivers from your HP printer. The go to System Preferences> Printer & Fax and in the printer list box go ahead and reset the printing system. Do that by right clicking over the printer list box ad the option should appear. After that close system preferences and reinstall your printer drivers from the HP CD. After installation check if your printer works as expected, if it does, stop here and ignore the rest of the message.
If you don't have the install CDs for the printer or the previous step does not work; connect your printer to your Mac via USB and then again go to system preferences. Open the Print & Fax menu and in the printer list box you should see a "+" sign. Click on it, and a new window should appear with a list of printers that are available to you. If that's the case, go ahead click your printer name and wait for the computer to look in the Apple servers for the drivers. When searching is finished click the "install" button. This process will open software update and install the neccesary drivers.
After that, you should be able to scan documents with the Preview App.

Hope this helps!
