Can't install OS10.4 due to error message

I thought mrtotes had solved my last question and somewhat it did, but not all, so here is my additional problem and will give you the steps I took on my imac to get to this question,
1. Erased + added zeros, switched to install but no destination disk icon so….
2. Did a restart, on start up I got a screen gray /black/gray with flashing ? mark in small folder
3. Destination location for install unavailable (no icon)
4. Switched to disk utility
Disk Utility
Verify
1. Invalid B-tree node size
2. The volume needs to be repaired
3. Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
4. 1 HSF volume check
5. Volume needs repair
Repair
1. invalid B-tree node size
2. Volume check failed
3. Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
4. 1 HSF volume checked
5. 1 volume could not be repaired because of error
So my question of course is what should I do?

I do too, give me . . .
Let us know how you do, OK?
And if you have any questions, please post them back
here
instead of starting a new thread. Promise???
I finally received the Disk Warrior and started it up from the cd ran it and it froze up with the spinning beach ball, so I ran it again, it did the same and thought well now that I spent $65.00 on another utility that doesn’t work, I’ll give it one more try tomorrow and then go to the forum and see what anyone has to say about this problem. So today I tried it and let it run oh about 2 hours as it was not doing a thing (froze), so I pressed the power button to stop the process that was not working, started it up this time not from the cd and ran it again, it did not work.
I then started up my new 10.4 install software and for whatever reason it showed the HD (it had not shown this since my last forum question) icon so I clicked on it and erased it, I have everything backed up on this ibook I’m using and an external HD, and to my surprise it installed, which it didn’t before because it said the HD could not be repaired, so since I bought this DiskWarrior cd I ran it on the new installed 10.4 it said it found some errors and repaired them and built a new directory.
This is scary, I hope whatever DiskWarrior does it works.
I now have another question I want to know if anyone thinks it is safe to install my OS 9.2 on the HD so I can use my PhotoShop 6.0 or should I leave it off and just buy the next version of Photoshop that only operates on a OS10? I guess I’m just afraid that all my problems I’ve had with the computer has something to do with two operating systems on the same disk. Thanks for all your help.

Unable to fully install itunes due to error message

I have been trying to install itunes and when I get about three quarters of the way in an error screen pops up telling me that I have an error writing to the file C:/Documents and Settings/All users/Application Data/.../GEARAspiWDM.inf and telling me I need to verify that I have access to this directory. How do I find that file and fix this problem so that I can fully install itunes?

an error screen pops up telling me that I have an error writing to the file C:/Documents and Settings/All users/Application Data/.../GEARAspiWDM.inf and telling me I need to verify that I have access to this directory.
Quite often those messages are caused by disk/file damage rather than a genuine permissions problem.
Try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's instructions and a guided help in the following Microsoft document:
[How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you now get your iTunes install to go through properly?

Can't launch Safari due to error message

I can't launch Safari anymore. It says it is missing some important resources and I have to reinstall Safari. I have done so, but it still does not work.
Here is the error message;
The procedure entry point SQLite3_wal.checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.
Can someone please help me? I have rebooted my computer, uninstalled Safari and reinstalled it without any luck.
Thank you very much

Just so you are aware, Apple no longer suports Safari for Windows.
If you don't want to use IE, try Firefox for Windows > Mozilla Firefox Web Browser
Much more user friendly than Safari.

Deleted itunes by accident and now can't reinstall it due to error message

I deleted Itunes on my Windows 7 computer by accident and when I went to reinstall it, I got an error message saying "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact you support personnel or package vendor." What do I do now?!

Can't install adobe flash player, error message says cannot contact a reliable source

Everytime I try to download it, it gets to about 7% and then the error message says cannot contact reliable source. I used the adobe uninstaller to uninstall the previous versions, but no luck. I've tried locating hidden files but couldn't find any. Any suggestions?

Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer prior to re-installing?
Where did you download the flash player from?

I can't install yosemite, got the error message, that i have to use App Store to download it

I have been reinstalling OSX, but now i can't update to yosemite or install iMovie and iphoto again. I just get the message, that I have to use app store t download the programs, but i'm already using app store, any one who knows what to do? I already have the Mavericks installed.

OS Recovery
Boot up from your computer by holding down the command+r keys. This will take you to the recovery drive.
Select Disk Utility & hit Return.
In Disk Utility select the HD on the left & click on Repair Disk (bottom right).
When done, go back to your desktop by restarting your computer. Try the AppStore again. If still not working see if Yosemite can be downloaded from Apple's Download website.

can't update new version of itunes due to error message saying invalid si

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Can't install safari extensions, I get the error message "Safari can't install this extension, An error occurred while installing the extension "Pin It Button"." Any suggestions?

Every time I try and install an extension for Safari I get the error message "Safari can’t install this extension, An error occurred while installing the extension “Pin It Button”." I have all the latest updates, working on OS X Yosemite v 10.10.2 / Safari v 8.0.3. Any suggestions?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to search for an item named "Safari Extensions List". If found, delete it. Quit Keychain Access.
Quit and relaunch Safari.

How do I complete uninstalling itunes? when I try installing i get an error message saying it can't find the path ,itunes64.msi missing

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.

Hi,
Are you running any Anti-virus software or do you have your firewall turned on? If so, disable them and try again. If that doesn't work, delete the iCloud account and then sign it back on again.
Make sure you are running the most current version of the iCloud Control Panel:

I pulled my brains out trying to figure this bug out and I may have a solution for you.
All of it installed fine in my desktop, but a friend's laptop got the error you mentioned on quicktime, itunes, flash, officeXP and about anything else I tried to load for him.
If you look in: C:\documents and settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp there will be an iTunes install log...open it in Notepad and see if it isn't exiting with a 1619 error while running msiexec.exe
If this is the case, this fix should work for you.
Seems some configurations of XP (and possibly Vista) aren't allowing full administrator rights to the account you set up when you installed XP (even though User Editor says you do have those rights.)
I read 2 MS articles and turned off simple file sharing, then gave ownership of the entire C: drive to the administrator. Logged the admin account off, logged his "admin" account in, and then gave rights to his personal directory to his account (c:\docs and settings\<username>)
Once I did that, every install that had previously errored out performed flawlessly.
The MS articles in question:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316309 (1619 error)
and

Desktop Manager "disconnected" and I can't get rid of the error message

I just purchased a Blackberry Curve 8530, running v5 software, my computer is Windows 7. I installed the 501_b073_multilanguage software that I downloaded from Blackberry's website. When I launch the Desktop manager I get this message: "Before you begin, verify that your current BlackBerry device is connected to your computer." The troubleshooting posts I've seen on this forum include many tips (the ones I've tried are below). One in particular I can't do is "The desktop manager is showing "disabled."
-Make sure that the user has gone into the desktop manager and selected options > connection settings > detect."
... because I can't get rid of the error message dialoge box, and I can't click on the options menu in the BB Desktop Manager.
I have tried the following:
uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice - 2nd uninstall was a "hard" uninstall where I deleted the registry files by hand
moved the cable to the USB port in the back (after trying both the ports in the front) of the computer
restarted the computer many times
hard booted the phone by removing the battery
plugged in, removed, and replugged in the phone.
Also:
The phone is installing correctly when I plug it in, but the software still doesn't seem to see it.
In the Device Manager, the BlackBerry is showing up under Portable Devices. Double-clicking on it gives me the reassurring "This device is working properly." message.
The Com1 port is working properly also, according to the Device Manager.
Double-clicking on the device manager icon to get the properties shows that the Com1 port is "disconnected" -- when I try to configure it it just pops back to the disconnected state.
If someone has an idea or something I haven't tried I'd sure appreciate it!!
Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Okay, folks, after a 3 1/2 hour phone call with a (very patient) telephone support person at Blackberry, here's what I learned.
You can check your USB drivers this way:
Plug in your phone into your USB drive. Assuming your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
Go into the Device Manager on your computer (control panel)
Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers item on the bottom of the list
Right-click on BlackBerry Smartphone and choose Properties
Click on the Driver tab
Click on the Driver Details button
You should see one driver. I saw two. The one the BlackBerry likes is the RimUsb one.
So here's what NOT to do: We tossed the entire driver that was the "extra". This effectively made using my mouse and keyboard impossible, as they are USB, and sent my poor husband into the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and then a mouse) with the old fashioned kind of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't do that.
Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you -- this modifies the Registry so better do a system backup with that backup and restore if you're nervous about this sort of thing):
From the start menu, choose run, and type regedit to get into the Registry editor.
Follow this file path: Computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class
Click on: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
If there's an item on the right called "UpperFilters", delete it. (see pictures)
Hope this helps someone.
