Bundled applications won't install from DVD

I have re-installed my macbook pro (early 2011) and have tried to install the bundled applications from the supplied dvd but they won't install. I have tried several times and it keeps telling me that it can't be installed. Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

It's resolved now, I have tried it again (now the 7th time) and for some reason it decided to work!

Lightroom 6 won't install from DVD

I bought Lightroom 6 and burned the files to a DVD, same as I have done for 3,4, and 5, but it refuses to install from the DVD. Keeps asking for the Lightroom 6 DVD. However if I copy the DVD to a folder on my desktop and then start the install everything works fine. I worked with Adobe support but we were unable to get it to install directly from the DVD.
Anyone else have this problem? Windows 7 Pro X64.
Thanks,
Lee

New HDD, won't install from DVD - freezes

I have a MBP from 2009 and the hard drive went out last week. I managed to pull a backup off of it with DW 4.4 and my SATA-USB converter. The new drive arrived today, so I installed it (same drive I had, as recommended by OWC), and put in my 10.6 disc.
I hold down "C" and nothing happens. Drive spins, but apple logo never appears. The first time I booted up, I didn't hit a key and I received a folder with a "?" in it. I restarted, and tried "C" and SHIFT and others. When I held OPTION during the boot, I saw the icon for "Mac OS X Install Disc 1" so I clicked it.
NOW IT'S FROZEN. The DVD drive isn't spinning... nothing is happening.
What are my options here?
Thanks,
Blake

Can I attach the new drive to my SATA-USB cable and then to my other machine(s) and pop in the install disc, and have it install onto that drive?
Yes. During the installation process, select the external HDD for the OSX installation.
That way I can then install the drive into the laptop, fire it up, and update via internet, back to Mountain Lion?
Will that work?
Yes, assuming that there are no issues with the laptop in which you are installing the HDD. I would test it first externally to see if it will boot the MBP in question.
Ciao.

SuccessCodeList:0 but application won't install

SuccessCodeList:0 but application won't install while on offline installation..
Precisely, I have a clean TS which executes like a good kid! But 3 applications LN 8.5.3 incl Sametime , Lotus Notes 8.5.3 FP3 MU and an LN Upgrade pack. I am attaching a copy of the smsts.log. Please share your views.
I might do a workaround by disabling staging of the image and running it straight from the boot media. Also , if you must know the online installation works just fine.

Hi Jason,
I'm experiencing this problem with Stand-alone (USB) OSD media also. I think others have reported it but not posted extra info to help diagnose - see "Programs not installing on stand-alone media task sequence" thread.
I've seen this intermittently sometimes builds go through fine but it seems sometimes the Install Software action is just forgotten. For example I've just built a PC using a usb key successfully with all programs present. With the same key I've
re-run it and our Firefox package is missing. The only entries in smsts.log for Firefox are in the 'Parsing' sections that you advise aren't relevant plus this bit:-
Deleted setting 'CCM_SoftwareDistribution.ADV_AdvertisementID="{39997A92-226D-4813-B2FB-EEABDDA3D13D}",PKG_PackageID="PUB000A3",PRG_ProgramID="Mozilla_Firefox_17.0.4_p1 Silent OSD"'.
This is the same for both successful and unsuccessful installs of the package. The only difference I can see is that the msiexec log file is created for the successful install but there is no log for an unsuccessful one.
Also the "All Status Messages from a Specific System" report shows the two entries "Program started for advertisement..." & "...completed successfully" only when Firefox installs ok. For the installs where the app doesn't install there is no mention
whatsoever in the report of actions related to Firefox.
Are there any other logs which may help me get to the bottom of this?
With thanks
Jim

Allow this application to be installed from the install software task sequence action without being deployed

What functionality does this setting enable when checked? The only thing I find in product documentation (CM2012_Web.chm, 2/1/2014) states:
For applications to be installed by using a dynamic variable list, the following setting must be enabled on the
General tab of the application’s Properties dialog box:
Allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action instead of deploying manually
Note - My ConfigMgr 2012 R2 CU1 Application Properties now displays a tab labeled "General Information". I do not find one labeled "General". The configuration setting also reads "Allow this application to be installed
from the install software task sequence action without being deployed" instead of "Allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action instead of deploying manually"
Is application installation using a dynamic variable list the only time this configuration setting is used and functions?

Yes, you only have to check that when using the dynamic variable list(s).

Acrobat 9 won't install from CS4 dvd

Yesterday, I reported an issue with Acrobat. A users PC crashed a few weeks ago & I reinstalled CS4 from the original DVD we purchased. All applications installed except for Acrobat. I was instructed to download CS4 from the following website: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html
then install Acrobat only. However, when I attempt to install it, the computer hangs at "Preparing to Install..." The PC isn't frozen, I just can't get the installer to move forward. Adobe won't help since this is an older version. All my online searches regarding this issue simply reveal that many other users have the same problem installing Acrobat from DVD - but I can't find anyone who has a solution. Has anyone in this forum found a work-around to get Acrobat 9 installed?

The Acrobat 9 download won't accept my CS4 license. What I ended up doing was jumping through several hoops to get this to work:
Edited Acrobat out of the registry - no change, still pauses during installation
Uninstall CS4 entirely
Run Adobe CS4 Clean Script - see http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
Run Microsoft Installer Cleanup program
Reinstall CS4 including Acrobat
Neither the registry edit, Clean Script or Microsoft installer cleanup fix the problem on their own. Yet, when I did them all in succession, Acrobat installed successfully - finally! I hope this information spares someone else from investing too many hours to fix their installation problem.

Flash Application for Mac won't open from DVD disc

I've created a Flash application for a Mac and I have the latest security fix/update for Flash (that was supposed to fix Flash Players and etc.). I've burned the file onto a CD and a DVD. The file plays/opens from the CD but it won't play from the DVD.
Has anyone run into this before?

Well I found some sort of solution. I was burning both discs from a PC. I finally burned the DVD from a Mac and now it works!

Photoshop CS3 won't install from disk

I have an HP with Windows XP service pack 2 OS. Exceeds all of the requirements to run CS3. Just purchased CS3. When I install the DVD, it will not launch. When I try and run setup from the Adobe CS3 folder, I get an error message as follows; Adobe CS3\setup.exe is not a valid win32 application. This DVD is marked Windows. So I'm dead in the water, can't get out of the gate.
Anyone have some ideas ?

ACTUALLY:
This Ahmbed file came WITH the file I downloaded here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?loc=en%5Fus&product=indesign
The archive file, called
ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.exe is 463 MB->
By running the EXE the installer package Extracts the CS3 Installer to where you point it on your hard drive:
Here is the TREE from where I installed it to- I dont know if your OSX has a Tree command like this, but Windows DOES:
C:\DOWNLOAD\Adobe CS3\Photoshop>tree /f
Folder PATH listing for volume VistS__t-PC
Volume serial number is 0015F688 88B7:8570

├───payloads
└───resources
└───common
└───scripts
ContainerProxy.js
localization.js
silentWorkflow.js
utils.js
C:\DOWNLOAD\Adobe CS3\Photoshop>
Note that if I got this in a Windows version straight from ADOBE- And you guys have it in the MAC version...
And I know where i got it, I downloaded the TRIAL version of CS3 from Adobe. THIS FILE is part of the Adobe Package. DON'T KNOW what it is, but certainly, if you don't like it, you can delete it, like I did, with no Ill effects.
If it IS a virus however, then someone at ADOBE put this thing right into the package.
IT IS NOT A CRACK. A Crack for CS3 is the entire Photoshop.exe file, 43 Megabytes- It is dropped into the Photoshop directory before initially running any part of CS3, then when Photosho.exe is run, it inserts a serial number and activates it, bypassing the flexLM licence manager.
THAT is how a Photochop crack works, one of the cracks I have seen- Others are simply Keygens, like CS2, you perform a Phone Activation, enter the Acvitation code into the keygen, and it spits out the answer code.
THIS little POS file however, is NOT a keygenm and it is NOT an exe that can be dropped into a folder, it is simply extra code left over from installing CS3, and Adobe made it.

Won't boot from DVD no matter how I try

After verifying my HD with Disk Utility, I had a message claiming the volume is corrupted.
I tried to boot from Install DVD, but it won't : either pressing "C" or Option, or selecting DVD in Pref > Start-Up.
It freezes on the Apple logo after chiming and searching briefly the CD driver, which buzzes normally, then goes idle.
Apple sent me a replacement DVD, thinking the install original DVD was corrupted. It re-booted correctly just ince with the replacement DVD, and never again.
Mac Book Pro is almost new (bought in may).

Could very well be an anomaly with your SuperDrive.
I recently had a similar problem. My DiskWarrior DVD would not show up on my screen nor would DiskWarrior launch after restart with "c" key depressed. My installation disk DVD showed on my screen and worked as did other DVDs but not DiskWarrior. (?????)
I took my MBP to a genius bar and the DVD did appear on the tech's machine's screen.
Diagnosis > SuperDrive problem. Was then sent in for repair where SuperDrive was replaced. Problem solved.
Get thee to a genius bar. Yeah, I know, it sucketh and is a PITA.

Acrobat 9 Professional won't install from CS4 discs

I am not able to install Acrobat 9 Pro from my CS4 DVDs. All of the other programs install.
I have tried the following:
- Uninstalled all other versions of Acrobat Professional
- Copied the DVDs to the desktop and tried installing from there
- Used the Microsoft Windows Installer Utility (could not find any references to Acrobat Professional)
- Disabled anti-virus software
- Disabled Windows startup services that might conflict
Nothing has worked.
I found something online that indicated the problem might be a corrupt data1.cab file.
Does anyone have suggestions on what I can try next?
Thank you!

Kernal Panic after update to 10.4.6/Missing HD Space/Won't Startup from DVD

Sorry to lump three problems together, but they may all be related.
First - I was getting random Kernal Panics while at 10.4.5, so I attempted to update to 10.4.6. The computer wouldn't even come close to starting up. I got a screen full of Kernal Panic info. I reinstalled Tiger 10.4.3, and that's where the system stands now. It's running fine.
Second - My computer suddenly announced that the startup drive was out of disk space. I looked and the window said 30g. I closed the window and opened it again only to see it at zero k. I dumped some items to get some disk space, but now I can't get my 30g back.
Third - I want to startup from the Tiger disk like I did when I reinstalled, but it won't startup from the DVD. I'd like to run Disk Repair on the main hard drive. It showed some errors when I ran a Test using the Disk Utility.
I'm hoping this is all related. The computer seems to be running fine, but I can't update or find my missing space. Any advice I can get on these issues would be appreciated. Thanks.
Jon

Is your computer saving a panic.log after each of the kernel panics? You can see by opening Console (in /Applications/Utilities) and looking for it. I'm not at my Mac now, so I can't tell you under what section to look for that log.
When you try to boot from the CD, are you holding down the 'C' key as the computer reboots? You can also try rebooting with the Option key pressed, which will present you with a list of bootable volumes. It will also give you access to the Apple Hardware Test (if this is the DVD that came with the computer). If you can select the Apple Hardware Test, I'd recommend doing the Extended Test, which will test the hardware, including the RAM.
For the disappearing disk space, you could have some process that is going bezerk and filling up the log files. In any event, to see where you disk space is being used, download and run Omni DiskSweeper.

IWork won't reinstall from DVD.

I recently had a hard drive die. It was promptly replaced and most things work fine, though there was some weirdness with my Time Machine backup. My iWork wouldn't reinstall from Time Machine, nor will it reinstall from the disc. Te disc drive works for other discs and the disc is readable in other computers. But, when I put the disc in my MacBook Pro, the computer thinks about it for a bit then the disc pops out.
I thought I could download it from the web and put it in my serial number, but it won't work. What I thought was the serial number, from a sticker on the box below the barcode, was rejected and it told me if I had a box to install from the DVD, or that I could buy a serial number online.
I've got a temporary workaround with the trial version, but that will stop working in a month.
Thanks,
Don

I hate when this happens! I know the disc can be read in other computers but still, take a look at the underside for fingerprints and/or scratches. Some drives are more finicky than others. If nothing else there are two possibilities and I know the first one will work. 1) Contact Apple to arrange a replacement disc.
Since the disc works in another computer you might try a) copying the disc (use Disk Utility). I've resurrected many discs this way. b) installing the programs on the other computer and then copying the iWork folder to your computer.

Won't boot from dvd

So my PB 15 won't boot. It gets to the Gray apple screen, hangs up, then gives me a blue screen with a mouse arrow. I tried to boot with the dvd-hold down the c key. No luck, it won't boot from the dvd. I tried to choose a startup disk manually (hold down option key) but I get e screen with a lock and a password box. When I type in my PW-I get nothing.
I am a little feaked-I ned to pull te data down to another machine if I can't get it to boot, but it won't even boot from the dvd.
any ideas? I'm pretty desperate.

The open firmware password can be reset reset and changed by any administrator user, as designated in the Accounts preferences, via physical access to the inside of the computer, or when the computer is started up in Mac OS 9.
Follow these steps:
1. Open the Open Firmware Password application. Note, For Mac OS X v10.4.x, you must use the updated version that can be copied from the software installation disc (located at /Applications/Utilities/ on the disc).
2. Click the icon to authenticate. Enter an administrator username and password when prompted.
3. Click Change.
4. Click to select the checkbox for "Require password to change Open Firmware settings".
5. Type your password in the Password and Verify fields.
6. Click OK. A confirmation appears.
7. Click lock icon to prevent further changes.
8. Choose Quit from the application menu.

MS-6728 won't boot from DVD drive?

I have a MS-6728 motherboard with bios v2.5 that won't boot from a bootable DVD disk. Here's what I've tried so far:
- Made sure the DVD drive was the first one in the BIOS boot device list.
- Tried two different DVD drives. One plain DVD drive. The other was a DVD dual layer writer. Both were PATA.
- Booted the DVD from three other machines to confirm it's not the DVD disk. It worked fine on all of them.
- Put the DVD drive from one of the machines that booted it correctly into the MS-6728 machine. That didn't fix the problem.
- Removed all drives except the PATA DVD drive and one SATA hard drive. No luck.
- Booted the MS-6728 machine from a bootable CD. That worked it was a Windows XP Pro install CD.
The DVD is a Debian install DVD BTW. Also I tried it each time by doing the F11 (select boot device) and just letting the BIOS auto detect everything. Each time I see a quick flash of "boot record not found" but I know the DVD is bootable since it worked with three other machines. The DVD was made from a ISO image downloaded from the net. I have booted the machine several times before from CDs.
I'm wondering if the BIOS only supports bootable CDs and not bootable DVDs?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

How many IDE controllers does you board have? If it has more than 2, make sure that the DVD drive is connected to Intel controller and not Promise Controller.

Mac Mini won't boot from dvd

I just picked up a used Mac Mini and the previous owner didn't wipe the hard drive. He did include the original install disks in the package, though. I inserted the install disk & it says that OS X Tiger can't be installed on the mini (currently it is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8). I tried to boot from DVD but if I hold down the c key, nothing happens and it boots to the HD like normal. If I hold down the option key, the only boot option shown is the HD. I don't get any request for a password, so this mini doesn't appear to have a firmware password set. The DVD drive appears to be functioning fine since it can read the DVD - I just can't boot from it. If I use the Startup disk utility the only option shown once again is the HD. I even tried upgrading to Mavericks, but get an error message that it can't be installed on this mini (I checked the requirements and this machine meets them - running 10.6.8, at least 2 Gig ram, 1.83 GHz Core 2 duo, 60 Gigs free space on the drive.......
I want to do a clean install but am at a loss on how to do so. Any suggestions?

I inserted the install disk & it says that OS X Tiger can't be installed on the mini (currently it is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8).
You can't install an older version of OS X on top of a newer version. You would have to erase the disk first.
I tried to boot from DVD but if I hold down the c key, nothing happens and it boots to the HD like normal.
Make sure you're using disk# 1 of 2 of the two gray disk set., and that you hold the C key down for enough time, the boot process from the DVD is much slower than from a hard drive. However, since you have Snow Leopard installed now, there is no point in trying to install Tiger, unless he didn't give you his Admin password; you wouldn't be able to add yourself as a new user or delete his user name without knowing the admin password.
If you did get Tiger installed, then you would have to buy a copy of Snow Leopard on DVD.
I checked the requirements and this machine meets them - running 10.6.8, at least 2 Gig ram, 1.83 GHz Core 2 duo, 60 Gigs free space on the drive.......
Those aren't the complete requirements. It has to be an Early 2009 MacMini, Model Identifier number 3.1, to be compatible with Mavericks. Click on the Apple Menu's, "About This Mac," More Information, then System Report, to locate that information.
