Can't install 3rd party screensavers

G'day Gang,
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I've downloaded the below trial screensavers and installed them on three different machines: My Macbook Pro (specs in signature), my iBook G4 and my parents Intel Mac Mini running Tiger. They work on the iBook and Intel Mac Mini great! But not at all on the MBP...
My MBP is running the current Leopard build and neither of the savers show up in the screensaver list in system prefs - even though they've installed correctly (and can be found in the appropriate screensaver folder in the library). I didn't try to install them prior to the 10.5.1 update so I'm not sure if that's the problem.
Fancy giving them a try and letting me know if they work? I've emailed the respective companies and they say the savers should work under Leopard. Curious.

I am a new comer to Macs and this is my first post
on this subject. I have a Mac Mini and I am trying to
install Move2Mac on this machine. I can't install
this software on this machine. The system doesn't
recognize the format and won't go any further.
Move2Mac is written for a PC, not a Mac; it needs to
be run on a PC to migrate the data.
I am also getting "can't create this file" message
when I am trying to update some of the Mac supplied
software (Comic Life). thanks for the help.
Click on the desktop and choose Get Info from the
File menu; under Ownership & Permissions, change the
settings so that you're the owner of that folder and
you have Read & Write access to it.

OK Niel, I did that and it says that I do have the read and write permissions. Any other things that I can check?

  • Can't install 3rd party software

    I've just done an archive and install of Tiger on my G4 with a NewerTech 2gig CPU.
    I was able to download and install the update to 10.4.10 without problem. However, now when I try to install anything else, I get the authenticate admin window but it just opens, then snaps closed. I don't have time to put in my password. I tried DiskWarrior and trashing the pref files for system pref and finder. I've also run Cocktail. I've run out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

    I had VirusBarrier X4 installed before I did the archive and install. I didn't choose save/transfer my personal setting when I did the install. So, VirusBarrier shows up in the application folder but since I can't install any 3rd party software I haven't reinstalled it. I tried to uninstall it but the uninstaller can't find that it's been installed, as I suspected it would, but took a chance.
    I don't have EyeTV. I been using Macs since 84. This is a new one on me.

  • Just Bought 13 Inch MBP - Can I Install 3rd Party SSD w/o SATA Bottlenecks

    Apparently, it has shipped with Boot ROM Version: MBP55.00AC.B03
    In reading the posts, this appears to have the EFI 1.7 firmware.
    Can I install a Crucial 128GB SSD drive and get 3GB speeds? Or am asking for problems?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thank you

    Firstly if you get 3 GB per second speed you will have broken all records to date I think. 3 Gb would be the best to hope for. Sorry, I just had to be my smartaxx self to get my day started.
    I have no help for you but since no one else is responding, my SuperTalent 256GB SSD would not work fore more than an hour or so, depending on how hard the drive was working, with the EFI 1.7 but it works endlessly with EFI 1.6. But this is only since the new 1819 firmware was flashed to the SSD. I think Crucials SSDs are the same as SuperTalents but there might be differences I am not aware of. They both use firmware updates with the exact same numbers such as 1571, 1819 and so on.

But the system stopped me from installing it, as it said 'the installation file is not downloaded from App store and my security preference has stopped it'?!
    I have my 4G broadband with me but can not be used :-(

  • Prevent shockwave player from trying to install 3rd party software?

    I am a sysadmin for a relatively small-ish enterprise (around 50-ish PCs).  We have scripts which push out shockwave player to all our systems but when a user loads a page which requires shockwave, they get a UAC prompt because the player is trying to install 3rd party software (usually Google Chrome browser).  How do I stop this from happening?  Is there a command line argument I can set (preferable method) or some other centrally-managed method for turning this off?  Thanks in advance.

    I guess I am not explaining myself very well. 
    I am currently using the EXE full installer from the distribution page.  The installation works very well and I can get it to run in "silent" mode to avoid interaction with the user.  Once the installation finishes, and I load a web page which requires Shockwave player, I get prompted at that point to download/install Chrome.  That is the part I would like to know if it's possible to stop, because all our users are getting UAC prompts and it's always because Shockwave wants to run some installer after loading.  I had hoped that going to the distribution version (as opposed to the straight download from the Adobe.com home page) would resolve this but they seem to be the same version, which makes me wonder why I bothered to sign up for it in the first place.

  • What's the standard way to install 3rd party classes?

    Hello,
    Let's say I install my SDK in c:\jdk1.3_02.
    Could anyone tell me the standard way to install 3rd party classes or sources so that I can import them in my source codes please? Thank you so much!

    most of the projects I've seem organize source, binaries etc. in the following directory structure:
    lib - external libraries
    src - the actual source code
    conf - configuration files
    dist - created distributables
    let's say you have everything in the d:\projects\myproject directory.
    -> compile with
    javac -classpath d:\projects\myproject\src
    -> run classes with
    java -classpath d:\projects\myproject\src

  • How to install 3rd party counters?

    Is it possible to install 3rd party counters such as NeoWorks counters
    in iWeb 06? I saw it mentioned in this forum but I am thinking it only
    works in iWeb 08, or am I wrong, and if so, how can the html code be inserted?
    I see an "insert" menu option Insert/choose....is this it? and what would I choose?
    thank you,

    Ok I just downloaded BBedit. Now before I dive into the big manual can
    you give me the quick take on where to past widget code? Do I insert and
    the front before the original index code or at the end? If at the end, is it
    just before the </head.<body><body></html>
    or after that
    I tried inserting at the very front and it appeared momentarily on the published document but was then quickly covered over by the original page.

  • Bea Portal: Installing 3rd Party Portlets / cms portlets

    Hi there,
    I hope this question is not too silly, but I am new to Bea Portal
    Server. How do I properly install 3rd party portlets, e.g. the
    cmsportlets available for download on the developer page ?
    I extracted the zip files and then there is an Ant-Script where one's
    supposed to change some parameters according to ones installation. I did
    this and then I ran Ant, which actually copied the files to the portlets
    directory. This is already strange to me: can the EBCC just create new
    portlets or can it do something like "import" resources that someone
    else has developed?
    Well, so even after running ant, the portlets can be seen in EBCC, but I
    an not add them to my page.
    Any idea how to move on ?
    Thanks
    Hinrich

    Hi,
    Did you have a chance to look into WebLogic Portal 8.1 SP3? Check out the new Library Services features, which includes versioning and simple approval:

    We also provide a few ootb portlets that allow users to interact with the CM system. Let us know if you have additional questions.

  • Installing 3rd Party Drivers

    Is it possible to install 3rd party drivers during a Safe Boot?
    If so, is it better?
    I'm having trouble with drivers loading sometimes, and other times not ... seems to be having problems "around" "Login Window".
    I use auto Login on Startup and Restarts.
    Wondering if this could be a "when and where of installation" issue.
    Guessing ... apologies for being vague ... particulars can be found on M-Audio's site Forum (if you're really interested):
    http://forums.m-audio.com/showthread.php?t=3856
    Stumped again ... this is a new replacement PCI audio card.

    I got a Rev B Replacement card from M-Audio. It behaved the same way as before under 10.5.6, until I ran AppleJack.
    I believe that cleared up the problems: M-Audio's v2.0.8 drivers don't install properly under 10.5.6... As I understand things, Ownership and Permissions need to be changed, and caches needed to be rebuilt. AppleJack under auto pilot did this relatively fast ... compared to how long its taken to arrive at a solution ...

    Also replaced the PRAM battery.
    Up and running fine to date with the Sonnet Tango USB/FW and Rosewill NIC PCI cards alongside.
    Perhaps AppleJack could solve other 3rd parties driver's installation woes?

  • Password Remember Button does not function; Can't input 3rd Party Passwords for Social Networks/Emails.

    My "Remember" button doesn't work. Simple as that. The "Not Now"
    Button still works, and closes the pop-bar. Remember doesn't do anything.
    [Exception...
