Can't expand during installation

Ive been trying to upgrade to 10.7.2 for most of the night. If i use software update, it downloads fine, but when i go to install it tells me that it can't install right now because the package failed to expand and may have been corrupted during download. When i attempt to download directly from the apple support pages, it just tells me that there is an invalid checksum on the file (i turned off disk image verification to get around this) and when i finally get the DMG mounted, it just tells me that there is an unknown problem and installation cannot continue. Ready to pull my hair out at this point.
Any thoughts?

Well I fixed it by booting into safe mode (hold Shift during restart) and using software update in there.
Others have had this issue and resolved it by restarting and repairing disk permissions:

Hopefully you have solved it as well.

Vdisk gets converted to type fixed from expandable during installation to native VHD...

I've tried everyway to Sunday to get work-arounds for this but I'm stumped...
I am breaking into the Windows 8.1 with Update installation after adding my license, and creating a setup to use Native VHD to install to.
I create a vdisk type=expandable, yet at some point during the installation it is getting converted to fixed!
I've tried everything I could think of including formatting it while in the CLI prior to refreshing the volumes, and selecting the VHD disk volume for installation. Yet, after the installation is complete... the "actual" vdisk file should
only be around 11-14GB (regardless of the maximum size during its' creation with diskpart), however... sure enough, after Windows has finished doing its' thing and rebooting... the file ends up being the same size as the maximum property provided during the
vdisk creation with diskpart.... it should not be, it was of type "expandable" >.<
Why is this happening?

Hi,
It's not possible that without any settings, it converts into fixed disk. So how did you configure?
Please follow this guide to check if you have operated that:

Ethernet printer found, but can't connect during installation

I have a new OfficeJet 8500 that I'm trying to install. The installation fails every time after the discovery of the device and the SNMP and SLP negotiation with the warning:
Unable to communicate with your printer at this time. This may be caused by a Firewall. If you are using firewall software, verify TCP port 9500 is unblocked from your PC to your printer at 192.168.0.4.
Unable to communicate with your printer at this time. This may be caused by a Firewall. If you are using firewall software, verify TCP port 9290 is unblocked from your PC to your printer at 192.168.0.4.
If you reconfigure the firewall, click Retry to see if the network communication is unblocked or click Next to continue.
This problem is very similar to the one described in this thread http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Networking&thread.id=731&view=by_date_ascending... with the exception of this one being wired vs. wireless.
The printer is connected via ethernet to a SuperStacker Hub. I've manually assigned an IP address of 192.168.0.4. I can ping the device, and can connect to the internal webserver via firefox.
If I choose to ignore the error and continue installing, I can print a test page, but cannot scan.
I can manually add a new printer via the Control panel, and can print a test page.
In both these scenarios, the Solution Center reports a scan error, and scanning fails.
When I try to add a new device via the installation utility, it discovers the wired printer at the proper address.
It starts the network, goes to the Printer Setup window showing the blue wired/wireless box between computers and printers, indicating"Printer Detected", then sends an snmp request, waits for slp reply, then checks hp scanning interface 1&2, then displays the "cannot connect" error above.
I'm running a Dell Precision m65 laptop with Windows XP SP2, Windows Firewall is disabled, AVG Antivirus Resident Shield is disabled. I'm running NetNanny, which is also currently disabled. Adding the ports and enabling the Windows Firewall makes no difference. Just to make sure, during one incarnation, I successfully installed via USB to ensure that it was possible.
I've spent 4 hours on the phone with tech support. They escalated to 3rd-tier support and a supervisor promised he'd call me back today at 2pm, but it didn't happen. I've installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled countless numbers of times during the past 2 days--what a nightmare!
Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Hi!
I have just had a similar experience with a newly purchased OfficeJet 8500. I would like it to use the Wireless setup - no cables please!
I don't know, if the following can help you. But maybe it can contribute with some new ideas for further use. My method is not the most scientific. But here we go:
I powered on the printer and started the setup - however communication to the HP printer timed out, and the setup failed. I could NOT ping the printer.
I tried much debugging, as suggested by many forums, and got to the point where I "just tried something".
My setup:
A Qnap TS-109 PRO II Network storage
A 64-bit Vista Home Premium
A HP iPAQ PDA
A D-link DI-655 wireless router - WPA2 security. Hidden network.
And now hopefully the Officejet
a.) tried uninstalling firewall, and every "tweak" on every forum.
It didn't work. My printer stayed unconnected.
Now I got desperate:
b.) Setting static IP's all over the network:
I thought it was a good idea, to set all the network adresses "static" . My entire network was running with DHCP, that in theory ment the location of the connected unit could change. This should not seem like a problem, since browsing the network, should show all connected equipment.
However, setting the IP static, could not hurt.
But - it showed no change. Well now I had a nice clean network with sorted IP-adresses. But no printer.
c.) Next plan: Trying to reset router -that could't hurt either.
1.) Hard reset of router. I pressed the reset button of the router, and all settings were returned to factory settings.
Just the "dlink" open network was now shown. I then connected the printer to this open and potentially dangerous network, and also connected my Vista. And behold: THE PRINTER WAS THERE!
2.) Now I adjusted the router, one thing at the time. This means, firewall settings, and see how it affected the connection to the printer.
3.) Adjusted the wireless security a bit at the time. This means: first changed to hidden network. Then WEP encryption, then WPA encryption then WPA2. Constantly keeping the connection to the printer in mind.
After an hour or so, and countless reboots of the router, the router was set up precisely as before.
But the difference is, I now have an OfficeJet that prints, scans, and is perfectly visible to the network!!
Best regards

Windows XP can't connect to OfficeJet 4630 during installation

Just bought a new OfficeJet 4630 and am very excited to use its wireless features. I got it connected to our in-home wireless router (Netgear) very easily, typing the WEP key right into the printer's keypad. I was subsequently able to install it on my DELL Latitude, from which I can print wirelessly or plugged in to USB, as well as cloud printing and ePrinting. Test pages, alignment pages, etc., all have printed just fine. My wife's acer netbook is another story. She's running Windows XP and has hit a major snag in the installation process. Whether we install the software and drivers from the internet download location specific to the OfficeJet 4630 or with the included CD, it makes it past the step of installing software but encounters an error when it is time to connect to the printer. The software has us choose whether to connect wirelessly, over USB, or later, and following the on screen instructions for either wireless or USB leads to the same error: The computer is unable to connect to the printer at this time.
During installation, when we choose to connect wirelessly and the installation software shows us a list of network printers to choose from, the OfficeJet shows up and we can select it - we can also find it by typing in the IP Address (10.0.0.9) into the Advanced Search bar. We can type the IP address into the web browser and see the printer's EMS and edit various options. We've made sure that my wife's computer is on the Workgroup MSHOME (since I read somewhere that OfficeJets only like to work on that workgroup and not any others). I've followed every other possible instruction given by either HP or these forums (disabling firewalls, startup services, uninstalling and re-installing HP software, etc.) and still, every time, a connection error whether we use Wi-Fi or USB.
We are getting really desparate to use this beautiful machine to its fullest potential - someone please help!

What is the IP address of your modem? What is the IP address of the router? With a 10.x.x.x IP tells me you may have a double NAT situation at home. This basically means your router will change it's IP to 10.x.x.x because it's default IP is the same as the modem. Connect just to your modem and what is the IP? Now connect JUST your router, no other connection to the modem, and what is it's IP?
You can use a cmd prompt and just type in ipconfig. What is listed as the Default Gateway for both?

Can't open web pdf files from my Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license agreement to use Reader and I never saw that page during installation.

Can't open web pdf files from my newly installed Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license to use agreement to Reader, and I never saw that page during installation. How do I get past this?

You need to accept the EULA on first launch of the Reader DC application.
Go to the Applications folder and launch Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
This will bring up the EULA.
Select the "Agree" button if you agree with the terms
Assuming you selected the "Agree" button, Reader DC should open.
You should now be able to open PDF files in your web browser.

Do I need to provide the physcial hostname to iAS during installation or can I just that installed name into the /etc/hosts file?

Hi,
Pls confirm if you are using Windows 2000 Pro, in this O/S the
hostname is the name of the computer itself. Check the
MyComputer->Properties->Network Identification->Properties, the name you
find under the computer name will be automatically taken while
installation, if it doesn't then there is some error. However the
C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts doesn't matter much while installing
iAS 6.0 SP1 or above. Hope this helps
Regards
Raj

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - it looks like somebody has asked the hosts to remove your personal info from your post (it's not a good idea to post any personal info on any public forum).
What do you 'stopped working and was closed, I can not work with him' ? What exactly are you seeing on the phone's screen ?

Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

How can I quit a setup during installation

How can I quit a setup during installation?
The program I am trying to quit is 'CANON_IJ'

Restart or force restart the computer, if it refuses to restart, i.e. repeat the steps already shown by Noble Seven. If it stubborn, and does not restart— well, in dispair of solutions, press power button for 6 seconds until mac shuts down. Wait one minute and press power button again, you will be able to eject the disk now.
This is not a recommended solution, try to calmly quit all activities, including by forcing mac to quit them. If you succeed in logging out, you will be able to restart it normally.

HT5022 trying to install airport utility 5.6 but during installation it says cleaning up then the installation fails how can I install the software

I am trying to install airport utility on my mac with OS 10.7.5 to use my old airport express but during installation after it says cleaning up it stops installing with an error message an error occured.
The software is from the Apple site and all it says is to contact the developer but cannot find out who to contact

Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
Run Pacifist.
Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

Can't connect to X11 Windows ............ error message during installation

ok, so i searched through the long list of messages on the forum and still don't have an answer. I am using a PC with redhat FC4 installed and trying to install Oracle 9 on the same PC. I tried to export my DISPLAY=hostname:0.0 and export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 and neither worked.
From the replies on the same error message, i gather that i do not need to run
xhost +
because i am on the same machine.
What else can i check to get rid of this frustrating message ?
Most replies on the erorr messages were from a few years ago as well.
Thanks

I solved my problem. It might be useful for other redhat FC users as well.
I changed the default terminal to be an Xwindows terminal instead of the standard terminal. You can do that by clicking on "Desktop", "Preferences" or "More Preferences" and configuring your default terminal to be Xwindows.
I was able to start installer WITHOUT exporting my display or any other command to get display going.
The installer did complain about some font messages, but apparently it didn't pose a problem.
BTW, i got Oracle 9.2.0.1 running on Redhat FC 4 using installation instructions i easily found on google. You need to use an old version of GCC (only during installation of software) and JRE (1.3.1_15); but it works. It will only be my "play at home" database. Probably not recommended for a production database.
