"Cannot continue. There is nothing to do"

I uninstalled iTunes from my G5. I then downloaded the latest version from the Web Site and when attempting to install, all options are greyed out with the word "Skip" next to "Install Itunes", etc. Express Install returns the error "Cannot continue. There is nothing to do". I ran Disk Warrior thinking that perhaps it was a permissions issue. No luck.
The CD that came with this 30GB Unit only shows the Updater and not iTunes itself, which I find very odd.
I did not deauthorize the computer first, but unsure if that would have anything to do with it.
I did find one KB that addressed part of the issue or so it would appear. It said to "Remove the 'iTunesX.pkg' file from ./Library/Receipts and try again". It wasn't even present; the only item listed there is Adobe Acrobat.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

I think you were looking in the wrong Receipts folder. If the only thing you see is Acrobat Reader, then you were looking in ~/Library/Receipts in your home folder>. There's another one off the top level of your hard drive. If you double-click on your hard drive in the Finder, you'll see a folder there called "Library". Double-click it and inside there is a folder called "Receipts". That one should have a whole bunch more files in it. Don't delete any other receipts, just the ones from the KB article.

  • Reinstalling OS9 Classic, You cannot continue, there is nothing to install

    I am using Tiger on an Imac with OS9. I cannot open the OS9 for some reason. I notice in the preference window the OS9 disc logo is missing. Somehow I guess I messed up the software. I found the discs that came with that Imac, and when I tried to reinstall OS9, I got a message saying "You cannot continue, there is nothing to install"
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thank You,

  • X11: You cannot continue. there is nothing to install.

    Hi,
    My X11 world has started misbehaving - whenever I try to xdisplay something back to my Mac I now get an error message saying 'unable to open display'. This all happened after the X11 session I was having with a remote linux box froze and I had to force quit X11. I thought I'd try to re-install X11 (via X11User.pkg) but I get to the part in the installer where I click on 'Install' and it then responds with:
    You cannot continue. there is nothing to install.
    I've tried removing the /usr/X11R6 directory and the X11 app itself but the installer message persists. Any ideas on how to proceed?
    Thanks.

    Sometimes the reason why these things don't work is that there is a "receipt" in /Library/Receipts that you need to manually delete.
    <pre>
    ls -1d /Library/Receipts/X11
    /Library/Receipts/X11SDK.pkg/
    /Library/Receipts/X11User.pkg/
    </pre>

  • HT201210 lost everything on my iphone cannot restore saying need to free up space cannot free up space because there is nothing on the phone

    lost everything on my iphone cannot restore saying need to free up space cannot free up space because there is nothing on the phone

    My Iphone is telling me the same thing. I have already removed all unneeded apps, pics, docs, & even saved photo stream and deleted pics from my phone. I have removed all of my music from the itunes sync process and in addition have checked and unchecked the box for the music sync. It has continuously shown that I do have more than enough free space available. After all of this I have 14.75 gigs free. I will now see if I can put music back and sync. Please let me know if you (or anyone else reading this) has found or has a solution. This is extremely frustrating after I worked so hard cleaning my 382 gigs of music with Tune up. Even though I had this app, it was still time consuming. Ugggg! Would love to see my music correctly on my Iphone but now this! Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give me.

  • TS3899 I cannot send email from my ipad the message keeps saying rejected by the server but there is nothing wrong with my email account with talk talk as I am able to send email from my iPhone and laptop any ideas?

    My email won't send from my iPad.  It says the server rejects it almost immediately I press the send email button, although there is nothing wrong with my email account when sending from my laptop or iphone. I have cancelled the account and re-entered it but it hasn't made a difference? Anybody help?

    Hi Allan,
    Thank you for your help . The account used to work perfectly until recently, after receiving support from the provider, I deleted the account now I am trying to set the account again. 
    After putting in the first details (name, email, description) Cannot send mail the password or username for "mail.bigpond.com" is incorrect. I would expect this because the information I put in is not for Bigpond. So I press ok & I change the outgoing server (this is the one that is incorrectly labelled bigpond) to aapt, then I press save.
    Then it says "verifying" but comes up with Cannot connect using SSL do you want to try setting up the account without SSL. I press yes.
    Then I get the message "the POP server "mail.aapt.net.au" is not responding. Check your network connection & that you entered the correct information in the incoming mail server. (I ahve already checked this with aapt & it is correct.

  • "Cannot continue, nothing to install"

    So I am trying to download ventrilo. When I first downloaded it I found out the version I had downloaded would not work on my version of mac. So, I trashed it and proceeded to download the 3.0.0 version. When I got through to the installation part it said it couldnt continue because there was nothing to install. Please help me fix this!

    That error as a rule is because it thinks it's already Installed, does it have an Uninstall option to try before reinstalling it?

    Go to Settings>Brightness and make sure it is maxed out.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • A required application library failed to load and the product cannot continue

    Seems like I go through this problem time and again with Photoshop + Acrobat CS2 and still have yet to resolve a way of fixing it short of completely wiping my drive and re-installing Windows (XP Pro) The error is "application library failed to load and the product cannot continue"
    If there is anyone out there that has figured out a way to fix this issue please fill me in.
    This time I went as far as a complete and though removal of all Adobe products from the system and the registry and then completely reinstalled the product.
    I have forgone purchasing CS3 because of this issue as I am 99% sure that it has still not been resolved.
    Basically Photoshop and Acrobat are useless at this point and I am using an old version of Picture Publisher and Macromedia Fireworks to complete my work. This I assume is good advertising for Adobe :)
    Anyone have any ideas????
    See this post in the forum "could not complete your request because of a program error", PDF format, cs2, xp" as this is an ongoing Adobe issue that they have completely blown off!

    John,
    foud your message very helpfull. I experience the same problem when strating a CS2 program (Photoshop, Indesign,...) over a terminal server connection.
    It's weird because starting more than one instance is possible (despite what's written in the article ) as long as the users have administrative rights. I've encountererd this problem because my daughter of 11 wants to use Photoshop now. I have a terminal server set up so the kids may experiment with their own desktops whithout the risk to screw it up and because I can access all my programs from wherever I want.
    But as I found out now I must buy volume licensing instead of retail (even if it's for just one instance...)
    Want to know if possible how "difficult" it was to change your retail to a volume licensed version? Did you have to pay the full amount again? Hope an upgrade exist from Creative Suite CS2 - retail to Creative suite CS3 - volume licensed for the same price as from retail to retail... Or am I hoping to much?
    Kind regards and thanks for your info,
    Patrick

  • "Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."  Trying to format my iomega external HD for use with Mac

    Hi. Trying to connect iomega ext. HD. i have to reformat for Mac. When i plug in & go to Disk Utility,the external shows up and i'm supposed to click "partition". When i do, a box comes up saying ""Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." I quit and relaunched, same results. After googling my question, i came up with this:
    "Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
    (Quitting and reopening Disk Utility does not help.)
    The following also appears in Console log:
    *** malloc[419]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x290a410; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug : for architecture i386 object: ./Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 27 can't byte swap it)
    Workaround
    Quit Disk Utility.
    From the Finder's Go menu, choose Go to Folder....
    Type the following, then click OK: /Library/Receipts
    Temporarily remove these iTunes receipts from /Library/Receipts (sort the folder alphabetically as a list):
    iTunes.pkg
    iTunes4.pkg
    You can put them on the desktop, for example. Do not remove iTunesX.pkg or iTunes Phone Driver.pkg.
    Open Disk Utility and repair disk permissions again.
    Quit Disk Utility.
    Put the removed iTunes receipts back in /Library/Receipts.
    Note: This issue does not affect Disk Utility's verify or repair disk features.
    All seemed good, for a moment, until, upon going back to Disk Utility after removing itunes4.pkg and putting on desktop (i did not have itunes.pkg to remove) the same thing was happening. When i highlite my iomega ext. on left of page, disk perrmissions is grayed and does not allow me to click on it. Same problem from the start. Can somebody please help me out here? That would soooo awesome. Thanx!

    i'm just scared i will do something wrong on my own and lose my data.
    You shouldn't be scared of that, because you should already have backups. If you don't have backups, then backing up is the first priority.
    Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and restart. When you hear the chime, hold down the C key and keep holding it until the Apple logo appears on the display. You should now see the language selection screen. Select your language, then choose Utilities > Disk Utility from the menu bar. In the Disk Utility window, select the external drive (not the internal). The drive may already have a data partition, in which case there will be another icon below the drive icon. Choose the drive icon, then select the Partition tab. Create a single partition with the default options (GUID partition table, Mac OS X Extended Journaled).
    When the partitioning is done, select the startup volume on your internal drive in the DU window. Select the Restore tab. Drag the icon of the startup volume to the "Source" field. Then drag the icon of the newly-created volume on the external drive to the "Destination" field. Make sure you have this right. Then click the Restore button, and the data on your startup volume will be copied to the external drive.
