operation could not be completed OSInstall Recovery Auth Session error 6
Any thoughts?  The computer was bought last Nov when we were in US, now we are in Thailand.... could it make a difference?  At the same time, it seem to me that Apple had som issues with they web sites today (at least from my point of view). Is something bad happening? Maybe hacker attack?
Your thoughts/suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Cheers,

Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
- make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
- do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
- perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
- make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
- after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
Still, I will go through the other tips too.
(will post progress)

  • Printer driver was not installed.  operation could not be completed

    Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1
    windows XP system.
    Cannot add the Adobe PDF printer get the error message:
    Printer driver was not installed.  operation could not be completed
    Software installs/repair try to install the Adobe PDF printer but they do not.  No error message; just that the Adobe PDF printer does not show up
    I tried adding the  Adobe PDF printer manually.
    The drivers start to load and then fails giving the error message  in the subject line.
    I cleared the print spoolers and rebooted.
    I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobat /rebooted/reinstalled.  Install says it adds the Adobe PDF printer but nothing happens.
    Problem exists for all users including Administrators.
    I have renamed the C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86 and C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\Printers folder.
    Both are recreated when I try to reinstall the Adobe PDF Printer.
    I can add network printers with no errors.
    I have cleared Adobe PDF printer from registry.  e.g.:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-3\Adobe PDF Converter
    I even imported Adobe PDF registry entry from a working system taking care to adjust the system values accordingly.
    I also verified permissions for registry keys and application/driver folders were set correctly.
    I have completely reloaded the installation software and imported the Adobe PDF drivers from a working system.
    Not sure if this an Adobe issue, but that appears to be the only printer I cannot re-add.
    Any constructive ideas on what to try next would be appreciated.

    When I upgraded to Reader 9.4 I lost all ability to print Adobe pdf's.  Finally uninstalled 9.4, re-installed 8.2, changed the filename "high quality.joboptions" to "Adobe PDF converter.joboptions" and was back in business.  Pretty screwey fix, but after getting no help from online chats with Adobe and a day's lost work I was happy to have it.

  • Microsoft office cannot install - The operation couldn't be completed (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1)

    Hi there,
    Recently my hard drive crashed and so I bought a new SSD and performed a clean install of Lion on it. I tried to install Microsoft office, but when I try to open the .mpkg installed it says:
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1.)
    Couldn't open "Office Installer.mpkg".
    Any ideas? It worked perfectly fine previously, and I had used the same installation.
    My specs are below:
    MacBook Pro
    17-inch, Early 2011
    Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Thanks!

    What's the source of the mpkg? Is this for Office 2011?
    I'd reccomend downloading from MS here:
    https://www1.downloadoffice2010.microsoft.com/macdl/registerkey.aspx?ref=macdl&c ulture=en-US
    Using the key on the CD you have.
    PS- Yes i know the site says 2010, but I assure you the mac download is for office 2011. Then do your updates. I think it's on SP3 by now

  • Print driver was not installed. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000002)

    So, here's my problem.  Wondering if anyone else has seen this or knows where I can find logs to get more information about this.
    I have some Vista x64 systems on a domain with a print server serving both x86 and x64 print drivers.  All was working fine, until one day I updated the drivers, expecting them to push out to the clients.   It did for most, but for a few of the Vista x64 systems it failed.  Not only did it fail, but it seems to have prevented me from installing any HP print drivers, even for locally connected HP printers.   A couple of the machines were critical and after hours of trying things (resetting print spooler, downloading new drivers, etc) I had to rewrite them since system restore was not working (another long story).
    So, now I have one PC left that is reporting the above 0x00000002 error when trying to install drivers, and theres a very complicated web of programs installed on this system and I'd prefer not to install it. 
    Any ideas what I can do to solve this.   Same error happens whether using the drivers that come with windows, downloading the drivers from the HP website (both the individual drivers and the universal print drivers), or whether I hook the printer directly to the printer or if its through the network.   Right now I'm trying to hook up a laserjet 8150N and getting that error.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Karl

    Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I am having the same issue with loading drivers on Windows 7 x64 machines.

  • The application could not be installed on_because it could not be verified

    HELP! I download and use free apps all the time, but for paid apps, my mom downloads them off her account, (because you need a credit card) and then I just sync it to my iPod, but for some reason, today I updated "geodefense" and it downloaded no problem. But as soon as I clicked sync and saw the "updating to iPod" the progress bar got to the end and then a message popped up on my Macbook saying that the App could not be installed on my iPod because it could not be verified. So I tried removing it and installing it completely on my iPod again, but the same thing happened and now I don't have the app at all. This is very frustrating for me because it was working fine before and now it isn't.
    PLEASE NOTE*** I do NOT have a jailbroken iPod. It is one that I received free from a mac store because my old one had some tech issues with it, so they replaced it.

    I have the exact problem with Geodefence, been playing the demo for a while and so i decided to buy it. after downloading on the touch it said i needed to use itunes to load it, strange. i hate using itunes, but i fired it up, did a sync and it downloded but gave me the exact same error you got. why do i need to use itunes? i can download free apps no problem, why cant i buy geodefence too without the stupid laggy confusing pc app.
    i guess its time to do a chargeback with visa.

  • When I try to add on and add-on I get the following message..."(add-on name) could not be installed because FireFox could not modify the needed file"; What is wrong?

    Third party cookies are allowed; I click install when I get a message about an untrusted author;

    That probably means that the extension lacks the required <nowiki><em:unpack>true</em:unpack></nowiki> line in the file install.rdf to make sure that the file gets unpacked after installing.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Updating_extensions_for_Firefox_4.0#XPI_unpacking
    Firefox 4 and later no longer unpacks an extension automatically, but renames the XPI file to the ID of the extension and copies that file to the extensions folder in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • QuickTime Error: Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error -2125.)

    Hello there,
    I have recovered data from a bad disk and would like to save it as a movie with QuickTime. But it is always giving me this error message at the end, almost before it finishes saving the file:
    The movie "Caribou_migration4" could not be saved.
    Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error -2125.)
    Does anyone know why is this happening and what can I do. If I don't resave this video, I am not able to use it / or import it to Final Cut Pro!! Help!
    Thank you

    Hello,
    Err -2125 means "File offset too big".
    Something is wrong in the movie file, for sure.
    It's not a surprise given that you've recovered it from a bad disk.
    Your file can probably be repair by my "Movie Repair Service".

  • Shared videos won't play because the 'operation could not be completed'. Solutions?

    I have recently shared some videos with some friends over iCloud photo share but they will not play because 'the operation could not be completed'. Is there a solution for this other than deleting and starting again?

    mc,
    In your first post you stated:
    I checked permissions and nothing came up wrong.
    Did you accomplish that by using "Repair Disk Permissions" in Disk Utility, or did you actually check the "Ownership & Permissions" of your Desktop Folder using the "Get Info" command in the Finder?
    Click on your Desktop in Macintosh HD>Users>yourusername, and then choose Finder>File>Get Info. Under "Ownership & Permissions," it should say "You can {Read & Write}."
    If that is not selected, then change it to "You can {Read & Write}."
    ;~)

  • Error 8062 when I try to copy or move files on my macbook: "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)". Can even not install new software now!!

    Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
    I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
    I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
    However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
    I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
    Who can help me??
    Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
    My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.

  • Server 2008 Pinter install error OPERATION COULD NOT BE COMPLETED (error 0x900f0214)

    I downloaded the HP Universal printer driver for a LaserJet 4250dn network printer to our server running SERVER 2008 SP2.
    I dowloaded the zipped executable files for both the PCL5 and PCL6 drivers to the desktop and ran the EXE to unzip the files. When I tried to run the INSTALL.EXE file (as an ADMINISTRATOR) for BOTH drivers, the following occurs:
    Answer YES to EULA
    Select TRADITIONAL MODE (or DYNAMIC MODE - it doesn't matter - neither one works)
    Click INSTALL
    Immediately I get the error OPERATION COULD NOT BE COMPLETED (error 0x900f0214)
    Click OK
    Click FINISH
    This happens with both the PCL5 & PCL6 driver installations.
    I activated FILE SHARING, PRINTER SHARING, and NETWORK DISCOVERY but did not solve the problem.
    I was logged in as the Domain Administrator and the Local Admin also.
    Any suggestions?
