Can't install 8.0.2 because iCloud restore won't complete

Been trying to restore from iCloud backup for 4 days. Apple replaced my iPhone 5 due to a defective camera. They told me it would finish restoring after a few hours. It's been 4 days and it still claims it is trying to restore. I can't install 8.0.2 until it finishes the restore from Monday. I've tried turning it off and on a few times. I can't see what files it's still trying to download. Apps, Music, and Pictures appear to have downloaded ok. Been on wireless most of the time. Any suggestions? I guess I could just stop the Restore, but I'm hesitant to do that in case that messes something else up. It also won't backup again until Restore stops.
Thanks!

I talked with an Apple tech online, and he told me I could stop the restore if I was sure I had all of the files I wanted on my phone. I knew I had all of my apps and pictures, all the music I cared about--plus I could always put that back on from my computer if I wanted to. So I just went into Settings and went to the Backup screen and clicked on Stop Restore. After that iOS 8.02 started installing. I didn't have any other problems after that.
The tech did tell me that it could take days to do a full restore if you had quite a lot on your phone. And if you go in and out of wireless it slows it down.

Can't install Windows 8.1 because the Bootcamp Assistant-partitioned disk is GBT and not MBR.

I can’t install Windows 8.1 because the Bootcamp Assistant-partitioned disk is GBT and not MBR, and attempting to format the bootcamp disk does nothing. I have read up on this issue, and the only solution seems to be to make a backup of my computer and reformat all disks via 8.1 setup terminal. I REALLY do not want to do that, is there any way to fix this? I’m on OS X Yosemite, if that pertains to the thread.

Interesting. It wouldn’t install because I had FileVault enabled. Huh. Disabling it saved the day.

There are several possibilities.
1. You do not have contiguous free disk space.
2. BCA has failed, or you may have a Fusion drive which is causing problems.
3. You have incorrect permissions on the disk.
4. Can you boot in OS X Safe Mode - OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support?

Can¡t install a google toolbar because it says it's incompatible

I can not install the google bar because it says it is incompatible with the version I have of Firefox: 8.01

Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer versions. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

Plese Help. Me have FAT 32 USB, ISO, Boot cam say can't install windows support software because the software update server "(null)" can't be found.
I know there are many other threads, but I guess I couldn't find clear answer to this problem. Is that the Apple's server problem or just me?

Thanks!

The problem is the encryption and how your notebook handles it rather than a Time Capsule problem. I had similar problems until I updated the WLAN drivers on my IBM T41.
The way I convinced myself it wasn't an Apple problem was to connect my IBM T41, via ethernet, to my AEBSn. I was able to connect to internet so I knew it was a conflict between my wireless card and the AEBSn.
I am now using the WPA2 encryption for the AEBS without issue and connecting many different types of hardware; three iPod Touches, two MSI Wind Netbooks (Win XP SP3), one IBM T41 (Win XP SP2) wirelessly and both my 20" iMac and Dell 8250 Win XP (SP2) by ethernet
The MSI Winds are brand new and they would connect to the AEBSn but couldn't get an IP address from the internet (Limited or No Connectivity error message). The AEBSn was using WEP encryption. After doing a little research I found that WEP was a very common cause of this error message so I switched the AEBSn to WPA2 and everything works fine now.
Don't assume that because you can't connect via OPEN it isn't a encryption issue because my Winds wouldn't connect that way either...it wasn't until I changed to the WPA2 Personal that they connected.
You may also need to change the program that handles the WLAN connection, sometimes Windows handles it better but for the newest addition to our household, the MSI Winds, I am using the Realtek utility that matches the WLAN card and everything is hunky dory...
Finally sometimes firewalls will prevent getting the IP address...doesn't happen often but it has happened to me so I would double-check that by turning off the Windows Firewall and just verify that it isn't the firewall (that's never been a problem with my Apple AEBSn but it was a problem with an older Dlink g model).

Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
if you erased your recovery partition
what OS originally came on your Mac.
I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap, because you didn't mention it.
That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
If you still have your recovery partition:
boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
(the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

Its a possibility that the product is not supported on your machine hence the BAN sign on the product icon. You can share the product name and your system configuration so that we can confirm the same.

If you are on Yosemite, and have a CoreStorage volume (the default), it is not visible on the Windows side. The Apple HFS driver cannot read CS volumes.
You can verify this by running the following command in OSX Terminal.
diskutil cs list
If you get any output, such volumes will not be visible.
As a work around, if you really need it, check the 'Revertible' value. If it is yes, you can revert it to HFS+ by using the following command
diskutil cs revert
Here is the syntax for the command. The LVUUID parameter can be seen as a long string for your Logical Volume. Do not use the Logical Volume Group or any disk UUIDs. If you need the exact command, please post the output from the diskutil cs list command?
diskutil cs revert
Usage: diskutil coreStorage revert
MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode|lvUUID
[-stdinpassphrase | -passphrase [passphrase] | -recoverykeychain file]
Convert a CoreStorage logical volume back to its native type.
The file system must be mounted and resizable (i.e. Journaled HFS+).
Ownership of the affected disk and a passphrase (if encrypted) is required.

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.
Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

Dropped phone in coffee, turns on but sticks on the i tunes icon. Restore won't complete because of error 29. Any ideas?

dropped phone in coffee, turns on but sticks on the i tunes icon. Restore won't complete because of error 29. Any ideas?

After being submerged in coffee, did you power the iPhone off right away and if so, how long did it remain off to be completely dry - for the interior, not exterior?
Did the coffee include cream and sugar? Electronics and moisture don't mix especially with moisture that includes sugar.
Regardless, sounds like there is some hardware damage especially if not powered off and allowed to dry with the interior before being powered back on.

Hi,

Anyone else had problems or success with this?
Thanks in advance.

Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

Can't install windows 8.1 because drivers fail

I have an Inspiron 1750 with a 1080p (1900 x1020) display and I can't install 8.1 because I get a blue screen that does not contain any pertinent information for the fail. I have another Inspiron 1750 with a 900p display and 8.1 installs on it; but I can't
leave the update because the HDD are interchangeable for back up reason. When I take the HDD out of the 900p and install it in the 1080p I get the blue screen. Other than the displays, the two PCs are identical - every piece of the hardware - wifi, keyboard,
etc....
Foxnews had a banner saying that there was another update (maybe a service pack) coming out, is this going to solve the problem with 8.1? I think that 25% of the PCs have a driver problem with 8.1; it is all over the internet.

The Upgrade Assistant does not work. I am running Windows 8 and when I ran the 8 assistant it said I had 6 software items that were not compatible and no hardware. I ran 8.1 and it only found 3 software items and no hardware. I have tried to install 8.1
and it fails just as Dell states. I suggest MS either fix or remove their upgrade assistants because they mislead people and cause major problems as happened to me - complete removal of 8.1 and re-install 8.
MS destroyed the use of IDE hard drives with Windows 7 and now have destroyed many more pieces of hardware with 8.1 - my guess is that this is being done at a joint venture between MS and manufactures so they can sell more computers.
