Can't Install Any Software for Zen Mi

Recently, I had to reformat my computer and I was in the process of reinstalling all of my programs and software. I was attempting to install the latest version of Creative MediaSource (3.30.2) and after the installer was unpacked, the program prompted me with a message saying no compatible device could be found. Meanwhile, I had the MP3 player plugged in and it was being recognized by my computer. I could access its files through Explorer and I could also access the files contained on it through Windows Media Player .
So I tried to install the Creative Jukebox plugin .30.03 and then do the installation again. Once more, I received the same error message and could not get the program to install. I also tried to install the latest version of the Zen Micro Media Explorer (although I don't want or plan to use this software), but I received an identical message.
I am wondering what could be the problem here. I have my Zen flashed to the latest firmware, the Plays-For-Sure version. I do have my original Zen Micro CD, but I would prefer to not have to install and older driver or version of MediaSource and the upgrade. However, I don't really know what my options are. Can anyone give me some help?

Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

I'm trying to setup my Canon MX870 USB ink jet printer plugged into my Airport Extreme's USB port. However, I keep getting a message of; "Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." And then I have to click cancel.
The "Print & Scan" from System Preferences, can see the printer as it has the NAME: Canon MX870 series, and the LOCATION: 'the name of my network', and USE: MX870 series. But after clicking "Add", it tries to install the software (I've already installed the latest drivers however on my Mac Pro) and that's when I get this message;
"Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
Any ideas, help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Marty,
It sounds like you are not able to add your Canon printer in System Preferences. I found an article with steps you can take to resolve this:
Resolution
USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

"Can't install the software for the HP Officejet 6300 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server" when I try to install a HP 6300 printer.

Hi there
I am trying to install a HP 6300 printer. I can see it when I look to install initially. Then click on installa nd the process starts and I get a message saying it is searching for the software. However after 20 seconds or so I get the message: Can't install the software for the HP Officejet 6300 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. This has happned over and over. I have updated the OSx and am 10.8.5. It works on my Mac Book Pro and did once work on the Mac Book Air but stopped so I unistalled and tried to reintsall but no joy. How can i gte the right drivers onto the laptop so that the seach finds them and connects the printer that it already sees?
Many thanks
Rob

Can we install any softwares in i pad like auto cadd, catia

can we install any softwares in i pad like auto cadd, catia

You can only install apps/programs that are available in the iTunes App Store on your computer, or the App Store app on the iPad. 'Normal' PC or Mac (OS X) software cannot be installed on the iPad (iOS) as they are not compatible. So if they have app versions in the store you can install them (but the iPad is probably not powerful enough for sophisticated CAD), otherwise there are some apps that allow you to remotely connect to a PC or Mac

Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R2000 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server???
I am using mac osx 10.8 and now cant get print software for epson R2000 printer.

After system update, my Epson Stylus SX 535WD was ''gone''. I tried in vain to add it as an IP printer (got the IP-address from the printer). The printer model is correctly recognized, software download starts -- but then the "software ... is not currently available..."
Resetting the printing system did not help. Downloading Epson Printer Drivers v2.15.1 from here
did not help either, downloading Epson Printer Drivers.
In the end, I re-installed the printer software from the original CDs. After that the printer showed up as a Bonjour Printer, and I could add it without problem.
But note: although the printer is installed now and working properly, I still get the old error message (...software ..not available...) if I try to add the printer as an IP printer !?

First there is a message that software is available from Apple. You click to get it. Then it tells you that it is not currently available from the software update server.
I am running OS 10.8.2. Printer is on my home network (not USB).
I went to the Apple Software Dowload site and re-downloaded the latest "HewlettPackard Printer Drivers" (v.2.12) and installed them (twice). No dice.
Anybody found a way around this problem?
I solved all print related issues by avoiding HP, worst software I ever saw, this may not work for you though.

OSX 10.8.5 Can't install any updates for any of my 3rd party software

Hi Guys
Don't know if any of you out there can help me but for some reason I am unable to install any unpdates for ANY of my third party software on my System Drive or any other drive for that matter. I continually get the little yellow triangle on the drive icon at the "destination select" stage of any update installation. Ive never had this problem before and it's only been happending over the last week and i haven't changed any OSX settings. Also im logged in as the Administrator and have the permissions set to read & write to all my drives.
Has anyone experienced this too?????

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.
