Asking for disc 2 on Tiger install

Hi,
I have a 1.8mhz G5 with 10.3.9 and tried upgrading to Tiger. Bought the disk from apple store. upgrade/install seemed to go fine. restarted but opened with installer again asking for disc 2. there was only 1 disc. I don't understand. I tried inserting my iLife 06 disk. didn't work. the screen said I wanted to install things that required disc 2. I opted for an Easy Install upgrade. HELP! My computer is stuck in this limbo. I can't even quit Installer.
Thanks,
Don Burton

Is the disk marked CD or DVD on it?
Is it a black disk label with gray and white X logo on it?

2007 Intel Imac, installed a new Hdd. Started up with the install disc but it doesn't find my Hdd when asking for a destination volume to install the Mac OS. The Hdd is recognized in system profiler. Any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The hard drive is not formatted, and it must be formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" in order to install OS X.
Close the OS X installer, and go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility. Then, format your hard drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as Format > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Finally, close Disk Utility and install OS X

IWork install asking for serial number even though installed from disc set

Ok so two days ago I bought a MacBook Pro from Best Buy. It was one of those open package deals. Anyhow the MacBook was missing the software. I decided it might be a good idea to buy the Mac Box Set at the local Apple Store because I might need the OS disc at some point and I thought why not upgrade my iMac while I'm at it. So I went to an Apple Store and bought the Mac Box Set
I install Snow Leopard. I then install iLife. Lastly I install iWork. Sort of. Seems the first two are fine but when I click to open any of the iWork apps it ask for me to insert a serial number. I did a search and discovered there was a trial version of iWork 08 on here so I deleted it and the current instal. The reinstalled. Still same issue.
What should I do if it is still asking for a serial number?
And just incase anyone is wondering if I have the disk....

Good, there are many answered threads to your specific question.

CS5 Trail asks for Disc

I'm having trouble finding other threads on this. Sorry if already discussed.
I run Windows7 and have the full PhotoshopCS4 installed as well as the PhotoshopCS5 trail.
I also have Dreamweaver CS4 installed.
Before I buy programs, I always test them via trails/demos and compare them next to the old/last version.
I'm trying to do this with Dreamweaver CS5 but it keeps asking for a Disc. Placing the CS4 dics in does no good.
Can anyone help me with this? I just want to test the program, but installing the trail on a new/different system ends in the exact same result.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks but it still happened.
I was extracting the files to a Flash Drive to save space and that's what caused the issue. Extracting to the PC's main drive fixed the error.
Thanks.

After Download, asks for disk in order to install.

After downloading Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 from the Adobe website, after entering the serial number and going through all the pre-install configuring, it then asks for the disk to be inserted before it will install. There is no disk as this is a downloaded program, and is not being installed from a disk but from the downloaded disk image. How do I get it to install?

After having tried to get this to install 5 different times, I thought of a possible way to do it, but when I went to try it out, never got that far because it simply installed on this try. I have no idea why it suddenly installed, but 4 hours later and on the 6th attempt, it did. I made no system upgrades or other installations during this time, so it wasn't anything new on the computer that made it work. The only thing I did differently is that I didn't shut down Firefox during the install. All the other times I followed Adobe's instructions and made sure there were no programs running during the install. Could that be the reason?

Panther Installation Never Asks for Disc 2

I'm installing panther on a new hard drive for my iMac Rev A. The new one is 10gb seagate. panther worked fine with my old 4gb quantum fireball. i partitioned it to 7.9gb (8gb doesnt work) and started the installation. it finished, rebooted, and went to the original installation screen - didnt prompt for disc 2 at all. I checked the startup discs and it showed Macintosh HD and it started up with the folder and the ?. Then I went to the installation to choose the drive and I figured out theres something already on it because its using 1.6gb already, but I cant boot to it. Im really getting p.o.'d.

Hi Flibber Jabber!
Are you using a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs?

I am trying to install vmware fusion and during the install it continues to ask for the admin password to install.

I am trying to install vmware fusion 5-1.0.2 on osx 10.8.2 and it just keeps asking for the admin passoword for the computer. I keep putting it in with no luck. I have installed other programs with no issues.

If yours is the only user account on the Mac, it will have Admin privileges by default, so just type your password. Provided the installer is legit (i.e., downloaded from VMWare's servers and not some shady place), it needs Admin privileges since it needs to add stuff in the innermost folders of the OS for virtualization to work.
If your user account does NOT have admin privileges, you will need to have someone who does install Fusion for you. No way around this.

Updates asked for after X.4.8 installed

Hi there
I have a updated all my Macs to 10.4.8 I have no problems with
The iBook, iMac Intel. But my mini G4 is a different story I am running iLife 6 on all
Machines but now every time I open any of iLifes apps it say there is a update would you like to open software up date if I click yes it comes back all is up to date. Why is it doing this and how do I stop it. I have done the X.4.8 2X now but this has not helped.
I have the combo update on the mini downloaded from the apple site.
iBook12" G4, 'Minimac superdrive G4, intel iMac 17" Mac OS X (10.4.8) all have 1 gig ram

Ah! Cardinal sin WRT OS X. Don't move Apple installed items from where they were originally placed; otherwise, updaters can't find them. One might ask why Apple couldn't put in a search routine, but with over 200K files and 20K folders, that's asking for great delays while sorting things out. Glad you fixed the problem.
Thanks for the feedback. Good computing.

My ipad is asking for a pass code to install updates - never done before and I haven't set one. What next?

My ipad is asking for a pass code to perform the software updates. It has never done this before and I haven't set a pass code. How do I find, amend or delete this?

It's asking for the passcode you use to lock/unlock your iPad.

HT1620 I have had downloaded ios7.1.1 and it asks for a pass code to install. I cannot recall having one and if otherwise how do I get one

I have downloaded the latest iOS and it asks for a pass code which either I cannot recall, two failed attempts,. How do I get one so I can install

The iOS upgrade is seeking whatever code you use to unlock your iOS (iPhone or iPad) device; your device passcode or PIN or password you're using to secure your device.
If you've forgotten the PIN or password that you had originally configured to unlock your iOS device, there is a reset sequence.

Photoshop CS4 Trial installation asking for disc again and again

I had to uninstall my Creative Suite CS3 because of licensing problems. Then I could not reinstall it on Vista Home Premium SP2 ("unsupported OS").
Now, as long as I am waiting for Adobe to respond to my case, I tried to install CS4 Trial versions of PS and DW, so I can go on working.
But:
Whether I install them from a HDD or from a CD/DVD, it always asks me to insert the disc again into the related drive. Of course it is already in - installation has to be aborted.
I am very hesitant to purchase the CS4 upgrade, since it seems that after their huge hassle with the CS3 suite they still haven't their product installation problems fixed.
Anybody had fixed this?
Thanks
Matt

Hi dec9 and the_wine_snob,
Have tried all these too, and went a bit further with copying the folder to the desktop, but it also ended with a fatal.
Since the origin of my trouble is the endless hassle with my CS3 Suite installation, I ordered a CS4 Premium Web Trial and see if that installs.
Don't want to risk paying for another uninstallable product.
Before I install that, I will:
- uninstall all Adobe products
- including all flash versions that might still be lingering around
- run the CS3 cleaner
- clean and defrag the drive
- brush my teeth
-... anything else?
Thanks
Matt

CS3 No Longer Installs - Asks for Disc

I have CS3 (Master Collection) installed on a Win 7 Home Premium machine. I didn't originally install Dreamweaver and am now trying to go back and do so. Setup runs like normal and asks me which components to add and which to reinstall. After verifying the adds/reinstalls it prompts me to inster Master Collection D1 into drive D:\ and won't continue.
I don't understand what has happened and I don't want to try uninstalling for fear that I won't be able to reinstall. I didn't have to do anything special to get it to install originally (didn't need to run as admin or use compatibility mode, for instance). This is the download version, bought from Adobe's store so I do not have a disc (and D: is my hard drive anyway). I even redownloaded the 3GB file from Adobe yesterday but that didn't help. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
Brad

First of all, I appreciate the response.
This is a new laptop (in March, at least) and the only Adobe software I have installed is CS3 (download version from my hard drive) and Reader X, again from a download. I haven't installed anything from a CD/DVD so I don't know how or why it would have changed install paths (the D: drive IS where I installed CS3 from originally anyway). Even so, I don't have a disc and if I juggle drive letters around, what is the root that I should use for a virtual drive? The CS3 file extracts to an Adobe CS3 folder on the desktop (Adobe CS3 \ Master Collection \ Adobe CS3 \ ....). I don't know "where/what" the setup program is going to want to find as far as what contents should comprise the virtual disc. Any help with that info?
I hate to risk uninstalling everything only to find I can't get anything back without an OS reinstall, which I don't have time to do right now. For now, most of the suite is installed, I just need to add Dreamweaver (and, for the time being, I've installed DW8 from an earlier CS so I have a temp workaround).

PE10's odd behaviour in not asking for discs 2 and 3.

My computer complies with system requirements and I have a brand new 'unopened' PE10. The box has three discs. I installed disc1 and the serial number and I was not told to install the other two discs. The installation surprisingly closed down. There is a PE10 shortcut on the desktop and PE10 is in the Program Files. I can open PE10 with the desktop shortcut and everything seems to be there.
I felt uneasy so I uninstalled disc1 and reinstalled it, with the same results. I have used PE4 for many years so I am accustomed to Adobe Photoshop Elements. I have dozens of files in MY PICTURES that I would like to put into PE10 but I haven't done it in case something is not right.
Can someone explain why I was not told to install dics 2 and 3? Are they needed?

You only need disk 1. Disk two includes the trial of Premier Elements - the video editor and disk 3 is for Mac OS.
