Can't upgrade because of confilicting files

Good day
I haven't upgraded one of my machines for quite some time, probably a year or more.
I tried upgrading and got a file conflict problem. Here are the commands and output -

That's not the problem [1] - this is:

Try 'pacman -Syu sysvinit'. Not sure why pacman doesn't list sysvinit as a package that needs to be updated. sysvinit 2.88-3 is in the repos since September and you're still using the previous version.

ITunes can not run because some required files are missing.

I got a message that said something like "iTunes can not run because some required files are missing. reinstall itunes." I tried to reinstall iTunes but I kept getting that message. So, i uninstalled it, and tried to install it again. this did not work. I think that Quicktime is actually what is broken, because iTunes installs fine, but the Quicktime installation failed. When the installation failed, i got a message that said, "Installation failed: error code: -3"
I then tried installing Quicktime with the standalone installer. The installation got further, but it then failed as well, giving the error code -1603.
What can I do to get this reinstalled, and if you can't answer that, how can I contact Apple from Iraq? Thank you.

hmmm...that happened to me at one point to, and I'm trying to think back, I believe I was able to uninstall it by using the standalone installer.....
Try these steps and see if anything helps, and then in the troubleshooting section, look up the specific error number you are receiving...

CAN'T UPGRADE BECAUSE CAN'T AFFORD FC STUDIO, SO OTHER PROBS ARISE!

This is a problem which is building one step at a time, and it begins with OSX upgrades. I had to stop at 10.4.8 because - as a long-time user (professionally) of Final Cut Pro, upgrading beyond that renders many aspects of my version (4.5 HD) useless along with DVD Studio Pro, Compressor, etc. (those bundled with it). I found out the hard way, and had to downgrade back to 10.4.8.
However, now items such as my Address Book, iCal and Mail - which I use because of the compatability issues we all used to love about Macs, are not sync-able on .mac. The systems says I must have the 'latest version' - which is part of the new operating system (which I can not upgrade to!)
Therefore my .mac account, my ability to access the info I need when at a remote location, all are stuck in the water because Mac will not 'support' Final Cut Pro 4.5HD... I appreciate how good Final Cut Studio is: I have purchased it for school's I work with and used it myself at work locations, but personally, the $699.00 upgrade to FC Studio is not feasible for me at this time. The $199.00 upgrade was offered only until March of this year - and it was not brought to my attention until it was too late and unaffordable.
Does anybody have any ideas? I am looking for solutions.. and appreciate your input.
Respctfully,

G5 dual 2 ghz ppc 1 gb ddr sdram Mac OS X (10.4.8) FINAL CUT HD, ISYNC 2.3

Thanks for the input; you are all correct - especially Gig - in that FCS is a significant upward change. I have used it, purchased it for some schools and kick myself every day i didn't get the 199 update info in time. i know they offered it for a while, but I was changing residences and missed out. I begged Apple to make an exception, but they refused. It's business. Truthfully, i need to just suck it up and get the FCS and yes - more gigs, Gig!
For now, live with my woes...most of work currently is done through a day job in the business, so my side businesses are not the priority any way. As you said G, I am sure I could make it back fairly quickly...
So quit whining, BH Weber!
Thanks as always guys...

Photo sync error- can't update because the required file cannot be found

After setting preferences for updating photos, i get the error-
"can't update ipod because the required file cannot be found"
It seemes to update all other stuff like music and podcasts, but will not update photos.
This is driving me crazy!
Any help would be appreciated

Windows XP

The same problem exists with the German Windows version of iTunes (7.1.1.5).
The error message says nothing!
I wasted a lot of time checking the photo files but there was nothing wrong.
Then I monitored the hd-access to find out WHAT a file is missing: it seems to be about the cache files of the program that isn't orientated right about it's own files!!! It seems to be a big fat bug!!!
The hint here really helps but it also means that all compressed files will be deleted and compressed again. That takes hours of time and lots of GB temp-space on the drives.
I think Apple should deliver a bug-free version of iTunes as soon as possible. And Apple should talk to the customers for that they must not waste their time because of bugs in Apple software.
Will Apple read this?
I can't find an email-adress to send it directly to apple.

"iPod could not be upgraded because the firmware file could not be found"

Can someone please help me?
I've been trying to update my iPod for a few days and I keep getting the same error message. I've even tried re-installing iTunes but that doesn't seem to help.
I really don't know what to do now, I don't even know if there is some software I should download to fix this, if it can be fixed. Does this have anything to do with the fact that I have Windows instead of a Mac?
Please help me out, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

I have iphoto 7. I need to order additional copies of a wedding album. When I try, it tells me that I can no longer order on iphoto 7 and I need to upgrade. When I try to upgrade, it tells me tat I can't upgrade because I have OSX 10.6.8 What can I do

I have iphoto7. I need to order additional copies of a wedding album I creared LESS THAT A YEAR AGO!!!. Apperently I can no longer order on iphoto 7 and cannot download the upgrade on my OSX 10.6.8 system What can I do?

Your profile signature is confusing. There it says "iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)". But your question mentions older systems: " iphoto 7 and cannot download the upgrade on my OSX 10.6.8 system"
Do you have two different Macs? If you have a second mac with OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), you could upgrade that to MAvericks and buy the most recent iPhoto '11, version 9.5.1 from the App Store. That would be the least expensive solution to upgrade your iPhoto.
If you only have iPhoto 7 on OSX 10.6.8, you can can buy the boxed iLife '11 installer package from Amazon. This will install an early version of iPhoto '11, that runs well with your current system and will let you print your book. You will need to run the iPhoto library upgrader to convert your old library, see: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader
Also, you should be aware, that upgrading your library may change the book layout a bit, because the themes have changed between the versions, so you need to keep a backup copy of the library and iPhoto 7, to be able to compare the upgraded version to the original.

I can't upgrade because the second line took it?!

I have a family share plan with two lines. BOTH lines were eligible for upgrade around the same month. So one of us decided to get a new IPhone4 on THEIR phone number, but for some reason ....(agent even thought it was weird it did this) it put it on MY line.... no big deal to me when agent expressed it.. because frankly at the time I didn't know what it meant.
Now after a few months I am ready to upgrade. I look around and find deals for FREE phones at Target and Wirefly. BOTH denied me because Verizon says I'm not eligible. WHAT? I was always eligible!!
What is the deal???? I keep getting the answer that the Iphone used my number! How is that possible!!! They have their own dang phone number!
Why can't they just switch it in the system

It sounds like you accidentally did a "buddy upgrade." Basically, you signed a contract and recieved the phone for your line, and then transferred the new device to the other line on your account. Your line is now under a 2 year contract (which you cannot undo unless you are within the 14 day Worry Free Gaurentee window), and so it is not eligible to upgrade until 20 months have passed.
The other line on your account should still be eligible to upgrade, and you can do another "buddy upgrade" to get a new phone for your line. Be cautious about using a 3rd party retailer like Wirefly for this though, because they often make you sign a 2nd contract that may charge you an ETF when you move the new phone to your line.

I insatalled PS CC and now i can't upgrade because I get Error Code: A12E1

I was able to upgrade without this problem on my alternate laptop with out this problem. However, I can't do it on my MacPro cpmputer because of this error that continues.
Please help.

Can't update iPhoto and other apps after upgrading to Yosmite. Bought the computer at a Mac Store complete with iPhoto, iMovie, Numbers, Pages etc so the App store sayes we can't upgrade because these were not purchased through the App store.

Until this gets resolved we can't access iPhoto or my iPhoto library. Unfortunately didn't back up my photos before we "upgraded" to Yosmite. Any ideas?

You need to update the information regarding what Mac this is and what version of OS X you're running.
You show a PB G4, which won't run the Mac App Store.

I NEED Firefox 3.6.25 for my MacBook Pro. The ftp site is gone. How can I get it? I can't upgrade because of my processor.

The night that Firefox apparently stopped distributing Firefox for Mac 3.6.25, I had a computer crash that corrupted my copy of 3.6.25. I tried to go to the FTP site to get another copy to reload (using Safari) and the FTP site is apparently gone and Firefox will not let me download that version of Firefox. I'm limping along on Safari and can't update even my corrupted version of 3.6.25 because my processor won't support further updates. I NEED 3.6.25! Is there anyplace that I can get it? What can I do? My corrupted version of Firefox 3.6.25 doesn't work correctly. It opens improperly and doesn't work when it does open.

Hi,
You can try the latest in the [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html 3.6 series] which is still supported.

Can't upgrade because of "prior debt" hold from 4 YEARS AGO.

I am at my last straw concerning Verizon Financial Services.
I am due for an upgrade on my line from my family plan. I went to five different Verizon stores and tried to get my phone upgraded with no success because of a "prior debt" hold on my account.
First, I talked to customer care, then I was forwarded to "Financial Services". Alice from that department told me that the RELEASE from that account was not updated and this would all be RESOLVED. She promised to call me at 5PM, but there was no call. I visited several Verizon stores and after visiting the last one; I was told to wait 24 HOURS for their "system" to get "updated", whatever that means.
This prior debt was for $81.72 but FINANCIAL SERVICES could not even clearly explain what this charge was for. This charge was from November 2009.
Why would they bring this up now? My mother on my family plan had no problem upgrading earlier this year. If we really had unresolved debt from 2009; does it not make sense to inform us sooner and get THEIR (FINANCIAL SERVICES) money?
Why wait now? Is it because I am upgrading to an Iphone 5S? Does Verizon really have to stoop this low and prevent people from buying phones?
Why would it take so long to update a release on a bill?
If this is not resolved within 24 hours. I WILL terminate my contract contact my lawyer.

No I did not go in for the Edge upgrade. I went in for a regular discounted upgrade on one of my lines and now I have been on hold for the past 2 hours trying to get these ****** to let me upgrade.
I do not even have a phone with me because it was stolen.

Chat can not send because of the file size?

Hi,
Using Cisco Call Center system and cisco agent program. The problem is:
Agent(s) can not chat! The basic solution is: Delete the txt file(s) writings in C:\Programfiles\Cisco\Desktop\Log\Transections\Friday.txt
and then agent(s) can chat again.
I saw the file:
C:\Programfiles\Cisco\Desktop\config\Agent.cfg
Size=3000000
is the size log file size or something else?
Can u help us me to solve the problem? Thanks.

Hi Cadennguyen,
If there was an issue with the last purchase and you have just redeem that iTunes credit, then you can pay that unpaid balance with that credit. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Can't upgrade because I am running MAC OSX 10.4.11 on a MacMini. Am I still secure?

I am getting alerts that my version of Firefox will not be supported much longer but I can't find an upgrade that works on my Mac Mini running MAC OSX 10.4.11. Shall I use a different browser?

As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs both OSX 10.5+ and '''Intel''' hardware. You have PPC. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0/system-requirements/
Two options since you have PPC: either continue to use Firefox 3.6 (3.6.25 is current, released yesterday) which you have. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Or you can use a third-party build from http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ in order to have Firefox 9.0 though do note http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported

While upgrading from OS 10.4.1.1 to Leopard, I get a message that I can't upgrade because my computer is not running OS 10.4 which I clearly am. What's the problem?

I purchased a Mac OS X Leopard on Amazon to upgrade my 2006 Apple iMac. After inserting the CPU Drop-in DVD, and clicking the Leopard OS 10.5 installation icon, I get a message that the upgrade cannot happen because the upgrade installer cannot find OS 10.4 or later on my computer. My system profiler indicates that my iMac is running OS 10.4.1.1. What is the problem?

I came upon the solution in another discussion thread. The solution is to simply wait 8 to 10 minutes on the language selection dialog box allow the install program time to find my OS 10.4.1.1.. I then clicked on "Continue" and the install proceeded without any problems. I know am running Leopard OS 10.5.8., So far with no cliches..."knock on wood". Thanks to all who responded to my original question.
