Can't install anything

Hi everyone!
Gotta quite a problem: right after getting the update 1.1 (Russia) and installing a few apps, my n9 started to reject installing all other apps. Right before the downloading of any, the messege appears and tells me that I should delete some conflicted application. Ok, I deleted all my apps I installed but this took no effect. There is more: with the general Meego update the smaller pre-installed app's updates are available. Well, they are NOT for me, I meen I see them on my screen but their downloading is terminating woth an error. Is there any solution of these excluding hard reset? Thanks in advance=)
P.S. Ummm, sorry my language, if it was bad, I just learn it=)
Solved!

Have you changed your settings to aglow ask installations?
You may try to be sure that is done first.
If so you may hanger to look at flashing your device.

Please help! We got a used Mac Mini and we don't have the former owner's password, so we can't install anything like flash player. Does anyone know how to get around this?

Please help! We got a used Mac Mini and we don't have the former owner's password, so we can't install anything like flash player. Does anyone know how to get around this? I don't know how to wipe the hard drive, and the support online doesn't seem to work.

As posted previously:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
If installing Leopard the process is similar in some respects. If you wish to begin anew then after selecting the target disk click on the Options button and select the Erase and Install option then click on the OK button. To install over an existing system do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi, shoaib.
You wrote: "also in disk utility i get this
"invalid file or directory ID found"
"the volume HD needs to be repaired"
"Error: the underlying task reported failure onn exit""The disk directory of your hard drive is corrupted. This is the source of your problems.
If you cannot afford either of the third-party utilities:
• Alsoft Disk Warrior 3.x (DW3)
• Micromat TechTool Pro version 4.1.x (TTP4).
then you will need to follow the instructions in "Disk Utility reports 'Underlying task reported failure' when repairing a volume."
Specifically, given that your attempt to repair the disk using Disk Utility from your Tiger DVD failed, there are no other solutions available for this problem other than:
• Attempting repair with the third-party disk utilities cited above.
• Backing up whatever data can be saved, then reinstalling Mac OS X with an Erase and Install.
See the article I cited above for details. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
To avoid having to reinstall in situations like this, as funds permit you should consider investing in:
• Implementing a comprehensive backup and recovery solution. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ.
• Alsoft DiskWarrior and TechTool Pro.
Good luck!

I can't install anything on MacBook Pro - can anyone help?

Dear All,
I can't install anything on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8). For example, I'll download an update, which in turn opens an installer window. I select the destination for the installation. So far so good. But when I click on 'install', nothing... Absolutely nothing happens.
I've been into disk utility to fix the permissions - there seemed to be quite a lot to fix. Then I repaired them. But running another check on disk permissions throws up the same errors, even though the first time round they were apparently fixed.
I've had a look in some of the the forums; one option seems to be to reboot from the installation DVD. Unfortunately, as I'm out of the country at the moment, the disk, along with most of my worldly possessions, is in storage hundreds of miles away and completely inaccessible.
Can anybody help a) with working out what the problem might be and b) with suggestions as to what on earth I can do to fix it?
Thanks so much to you all for your help,
h

Can't install anything downloaded from Web

I have a 17-inch MacBook Pro running 10.7.5.
I've noticed recently that I can't install anything that is downloaded over the Internet. Flash and Microsoft Office are two of the recent upgrades that won't run. There have been others.
I'll download the upgrade/update and the automatic process will begin. After I enter my username and password, I'll point to the correct disk image (Macintosh HD) and click the Install button. I'll then be taken back to the step where I point to the correct disk image.
I have a Bootcamp partition running Windows 7 and have no trouble running upgrades/updates.
Any ideas? Thanks.

This got worse before it got better. Eventually I couldn't log into my account. I reinstalled Lion and the restored from a Time Machine backup. And I still couldn't log in.
I then did one more password change and finally got into my account. But I could not access Keychain, and I really think that somehow my Keychain password somehow got changed from what my account password was.
I started a new Keychain and all is working now. Of course, I lost all my saved passwords but I have most saved.
Thanks.

Installation problems: can't install anything after failed install.

I believe this may have been posted before, but I have a different OS than in the question I read so I thought I should ask again.
I have a Macbook Pro running OS X Lion (late 2011) and a while ago I was dumb and decided to install old Cubase LE 4 software onto my brand new Macbook. The installation stalled with "less than one minute remaining", I force quit, tried several more times, and ever since then I can't install anything else. I heard of some hotfix that can remedy this problem, but since I have the new OS I was wondering if that would still work.
Any suggestions/answers are greatly appreciated.
Bill

10.6.3: Can't install anything?!

Hi - still getting used to my Mac which I recently inherited. Using the original disks I have erased the disk and reintalled Mac OS X 10.5.8. Installed 10.2.2 iTunes, no problem. Tried to join the Apple Dev program, said I needed to upgrade the OS. Nipped off to Apple, purchased upgrade to 10.6.3, made sure I had the latest updates then installed the upgrade - no problem. But then couldn't install anything else.
Again I took the drive back to nothing, built it back up, making sure I got the latest updates before upgrading to 10.6.3. Same problem. I've even tried installing the recommended combo update to 10.6.7. It fails.

I have run disk verify - all OK, have read/write permissions and have repaired permissions. The only issue I might have: following the POST chime I very occassionally get three repeating beeps which I understand could be a memory related issue??? Could there then be an underlying hardware issue that is affecting the software side of things? Everything that I have installed seems to work OK, I just can't install anything new.
Any ideas? Advice greatly appreciated.

Can't install anything with Jaguar

I purchased a used graphite iMac (slot loading with firewire) with OSX 10.2 installed. It didn't come with the original installation discs or any manuals. I purchased a copy of Jaguar online and successfully installed it and archived the older files so that I could keep the MS Office programs the previous owner installed. I now find that I can't get the iMac to install anything. I've tried to connect my Epson 777i printer, download an OSX 10.3 update, download safari, and download an Internet Explorer update. The downloads work, but when I try to install nothing happens. The Installer window opens, but it's grayed out and unresponsive. When I try to open help for any of the applications, the Help function quits. This iMac doesn't have as much memory as my previous one. Could that be the problem? Any ideas? I love Macs, but this is getting to be as frustrating as using a PC.

Hi LynV, and welcome to the discussions.
I tend to shudder when I see the words "I purchased a
copy of Jaguar online". Were you lucky enough to get
the retail version of Jaguar (white CDs with a black
& orange X in the middle), or do you have grey
CDs/DVD with white print (often billed as "universal"
install CDs)?
If you have the grey disks, they are NOT
universal. They will explicitly state which model of
Macintosh computer they are meant for; using them on
any other model has a chance of success, but the
installation is guaranteed to be buggy. It may take
months to find the bugs, or it may only take as long
as a reboot to find them.
As far as the memory goes (I'm assuming you mean RAM
here), I think Jaguar requires 64MB, but it might be
128MB (I know the Server version requires 128MB). The
amount of RAM would definitely affect how responsive
the OS is, but it shouldn't prevent applications from
running.
s andfarm said, any software related to OS X 10.3
will not run under Jaguar; I've heard of people
downloading Safari for Jaguar, but I've never seen it
done, so won't speak to the veracity of the claim.
A lot of what we can do to help will depend on the
type of install disks you found online.
Andrew Penner
Thanks for the follow up, but I am using the retail version of the installation discs. As I said, this iMac was purchased used. The previous owner had Safari installed, but I can't get it to run since I did the re-install. The problem seems to be with the computer and may be the reason the previous owner sold it. The thing crashes whenever I try to open a help page and still won't let me install anything(printer, software upgrades, browsers). I'm going to purcahse more memory to see if that works. Does anyone know which memory chip the graphite, slot loading 2001 or later iMac uses?

Can't install anything. Installer on any .pkg file keeps "quiting unexpec."

I'm having problems with not being able to mont .dmg files. keeps retuning error "no child processes". I burnt the combo update to cd with disk utility, but when I try to open the .pkg file on he cd or desktop the installer now quits unexpectedly. I'm at a loss. All this stuff happened since installing the update now I can't do anything to fix it. I tried to repair permissions to no avail. I need some help. thanks.

Your disk directory is hosed. If Disk Utility can't fix it, you'll need something stronger, such as DiskWarrior or TechTools.

Can't install ANYTHING on my Nokia E71

I've trawled through every single online help forum and can't find anything that helps!
No matter what I try to install, I continually get 'unable to install'. This only started happening after I updated my software!
I've reformatted twice,
I've rebooted,
I've done all the usual stuff, all my certificate thingies are off etc but still nothing!!!!
What do I do!?

I have the solution for mine, I have typed
*#7370# and call and the phone will reboot
First I have deleted the memory card
I can install again now.
Maybe it's the same thing with your model, or another number to type.
I am french, I write not english very well.
Or try like somebody says here :
http://www.forummobiles.com/topic/229292-e63-ninstalle-plus-les-applications-et-se-bloque/
key ON/OFF to turn off then press on * 3 and green key
but for me the first solution was good
I read the problem has 2 months, I hope she has found the solution since june. That will be useful for others.

MBP after motherboard replacement can't install anything

Hi guys,
I'll address to you an issue that a friend of mine has.
He recently replaced his motherboard (mbp 13").
This work was done not by apple but by a repair shop ( I know I know he didn't followed my advice lol)
The problem is this:
Can't install OS X not from his original CD (says that's not the right computer) not from a drive, pen etc.
Folders can't be moved (permissions issues)
can't save anything on the HD or update or install software.
I've tried my best to help him.
Seem to me that somehow even if the motherboard is the right one (same model) doesn't "see" him anymore as the owner.
Tried to reset NVRAM etc but nothing has changed.
Some of you might have some similar experience or advice?
thanks

Did you fix it? I am dealing with the same problem now!

On my new macbook pro (15-inch retina, OS X Mavericks), I can't install anything.

I recently got a new macbook pro with os x mavericks. Everything works perfectly, except that whenever I try to install anything from the internet (Adobe Flash Player), it tells me that the package is damaged and I should eject the disk image file. Any .dmg's I open show the same error message.

RajatTyagi,
the most common cause of that message is an incomplete download. For example, try downloading the standalone Flash Player installer from here. If it doesn’t run on your MacBook Pro, what size is the downloaded disk image file?

Installation problem; can't install anything after failed install

Hi everybody,
I have just changed computer and I tried to instal Cubase LE4 on my new macbook air running on OS X Mavericks (10.9.2).
I have encouter similar problems of others that tried the same operation on SL years ago, namely: when the installation started, it went well, but in the end it will say 'install time remaining; about a minute'. No matter how long I leave it (literally hours), the loading bar won't move an inch, even though it looks like it's loading.
Now I have to force quit to get rid of the screen.
However every time I try to install something else the problem is still there. The installer tells application says: "Waiting for other installetion to complete".
I can't install any other program.
Here's the link to the old post:

The solution proposed on that post do not work for me unfortunately. I was wondering if anybody has some new solutions.
