Cannot Install Any Application

I'm new to the forums, so I apologize if there is proper etiquette that I am unaware of using.
I tried to enhance my slowing Tiger OSX with software that claims to enhance the speed of my system. Since then, I have not been able to install any software, whether it is from CD or downloaded off the Internet. The installer seems to just disappear as the software tries to initialize the installtion process. I have run a full range of hardware diagnostis and fully ruled out the possibility of hardware failure. It sounds like generic operating system corruption from the software that I used previously, but I would rather not reinstall the operating system. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Don't worry, no special etiquette, we're all friends here
What was the software that you installed that claims to "enhance the speed of your system"? The logical thing to do would be to uninstall the application and hope that it hasn't caused wider ranging problems. The SW, if only halfway reputable, should have come with uninstall instructions. Follow the instructions, reboot and see if your download problem is fixed.
WRT to the slowing down that prompted your (misguided) installation of this SW there are many things that may be the culprit but the most common and easiest to fix is the remaining space on your HD. What size is your HD and how much free space is there? This info can be obtained by selecting your HD and keying Command (Apple) + I (the letter 'eye').
Post back with the SW concerned and the remaining space and we can take it from there.
Good luck,
Adrian

  • Unable to install any applications with PCSuite

    I have the latest PC Suite. Problem:
    Cannot install any software onto the phone using either cable or bluetooth.
    Cannot browse the phone using the Nokia Phone browser as it comes up with nothing...it wont show whats on the phone.
    Only way I can transfer any software is via the obex file transfer method of sending it via a message.
    Now, I dont know if this is due to an upgrade from Microsoft to sp2, as all was working about a month or so ago.
    Bluetooth and usb connections are find and am using the latest drivers.
    Sent an email to Nokia technical and just waiting for a reply..LOL.
    Thanks to anyone who can shed any light on this for me.

    Hi,
    I actually prefer the functionality of manually installing phone apps as you describe instead of using the PC Suite.
    I don't use PC Suite to install .sis or .jar phone applications as it's too buggy to use. Instead, I use BlueTooth to transfer the file manually to the phone...
    - Locate the .sis or .jar file on your PC in Windows Explorer.
    - Right Click the application file.
    - Select, 'Send To', 'BlueTooth Device'.
    - Transfer file to your phone.
    In the phone go to your inbox and select the newly received message. The .sis or .jar application should then install. For me, PC Suite is just too hit and miss to rely on. I used to have a 7650 before getting my current N70 and PC Suite was a bit of a double whammy in that it was not only buggy but when it did work it used to suck resources from the Windows OS quite badly.
    Again, I don't use the phone's built in file browser as it is too limited and hides too many folders, I guess mainly to protect newbies from crippling their smart phone. Instead I use FExplorer V1.15 which is an excellent piece of S60 freeware. The application is available from
    http://www.gosymbian.com/
    and imho is an essential app for any Series 60 smart phone. Be warned though!! If you don't know your way around the system directories and accidently delete the wrong system file you can end up seriously damaging your phone, just like Windows etc.
    Hope that helps!

  • I cannot install an application in the Applications folder without removing it first

    For some time now, I have noticed that I cannot install an application into the application folder without first removing it from the folder. If I try to install it by dragging the icon to the application folder, I get a warning that the application can't be moved because the folder "Applications" can't be modified. I click on authenticate and enter the root username and password. I am warned that the application already exists in the location. I am asked if I want to replace the item. The options presented are "Keep both files", "Stop", and "Replace". I choose "Replace". I am then prompted for an administrator's name and password. I enter "root" and the root password. I then get this lengthy error message:
    The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again.
    I checked the permissions and "locked" was already deselected. The permissions grant my regular user read and write permissions, "staff" read-only, and "everyone" read-only. If I add "admin" with read and write permissions, nothing changes, i.e. I get the same error. If I try to enter my user credentials, they are rejected. My user is not an admin user. Previously, when I enterered the root username and password, the operation would complete successfully.
    Now if I first remove the application from the Applications folder, then drag the application to the folder, I am prompted for an administrator's name and password. When I enter it, the application is copied successfully.
    I have tried fixing file and directory permissions from the disk utility, but that doesn't fix the problem.

    When you say, "locked" was already deselected, I take it that you mean the small icon at the bottom right of the Get Info window displayed an open lock picture.
    Have you tried locking it, then unlocking it again?  I expect you will be able to lock it by simply clicking on the open lock icon, but to unlock it again you will need to supply an Admin password.
    Odd that DU didn't fix it.  That would be my first thought also.  Suggest trying it again, if you haven't already done so.
    Speaking of DU, have you verified your HDD?
    My Applications folder permissions read -
    System          Read and Write
    admin           Read and Write
    everyone      Read only

  • Error in installing applications-Not able to install any applications

    Hello, 
    I bought Blackberry Z3 on just 3 days back, 
    I am not able to install any Applications. (Example: Wikipedia, News, WhatsApp.. etc)
    After download complete it is always showing " Error in installing application"
    If i Check inside Myworld -? Active downloads,it is showing " utf8' codec can't decode bytes.
    Please let me know how to resolve this problem. 
    Thanks,
    Yogesh S

    I had the same problem what you had.
    It would throw errors like, "Unable to decode...." or "Error installing the application"
    I was neither able to download any applications from Blackberyy World nor sideload any android apps.
    I use AirTel network.
    Try removing the SIM card and install the application using Wi-Fi.
    It worked for me smoothly when I did the above.

  • I just upgraded to 10.7.3 and now I can't install any applications.

    I just upgraded to 10.7.3 and now I can't install any applications. Everything else in the OS and in applications seems to work OK. After the installers ask for the system password, they do nothing. I doesn't hang; it just won't proceed any further in the install process. I can press the back button and it seems to do that just fine. I repaired the disk permissions, but to no avail.
    After I installed 10.7.3, I tried to install an updater that was listed as being recommended for Time Machine users. That was the first time I tried to launch an installer of any sort and it did the same as above. I've gathered since then that the update wasn't necessary and was already included in the 10.7.3 I loaded today.
    Any hints?

    I'm having a similar problem after installing 10.7.3 and the Messages beta. I've unistalled Mesages with little bit of trouble.. Linc, I followed the step given in your final post any help would be appreciated.
    A screenshot of my actual error. I get this error not just for Flash, but also Handbrake. I receieve th error even when I try using a programs automatic update. However, not suprisingly I do not get the message when using Apple's software update.

  • I brought  I pad air 3 months ago, but recently I can't install any application and can't make an update. Even I can't install the free application. I can see ... There is a previous purchase problem please Singh up your bank information again. Plz help

    Hi , I brought an I pad air 3 months ago. But recently I can't install any application and can't update any application. Even I can't install any free application. I can see one dialogue box about in red colors " there is a previous purchase problem please type your bank information correctly" . So I don't know what to do please help me. Thanks

    The message implies that a previous purchase may not have been paid-for due to problems collecting the money from your account. Have you tried logging into your account and updating/changing your payment details (tap on your in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and tap 'view Apple id' on the popup and sign into it) ? Until there is an accepted payment method on your account (credit card, redeemed iTunes gift cards) and what you owe has been paid then you won't be able to download anything (including app updates).

    I am using my iphone 4s here in dubai.Do i have to install any application to use siri..?? Coz i tried using them and i alwayz get ans which are not relevant.Please advise.

    No Siri is preinstalled.  Check you have enabled Siri correctly in Settings>General>Siri>ON and ensure you have completed the My Info correctly.  Siri uses the information in your My Info which is taken from your contact card to respond. Also Siri is still in beta and currently uses limited languages i.e.
    English (United States, United Kingdom, Australia)
    French (France)
    German (Germany)
    Finally just check your restrictions in Settings>General>Restrictions>Siri>ON

    I have an iPod Touch which I've had for almost 4 years, with 32 GB of memory. I am unable to update it, and consequently cannot install any newer apps. I am very disappointed that I spent a lot of $$; now Apple wants me to spend $$ again to get a new one. As I mentioned, I am pretty upset. Does anyone know if there's a work around?

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    I'm now at Sudan. I'm from Bangladesh. After coming Sudan I can't download/install any application from apps store. It shows error code-1009. Now what to do ? can anybody help me....?

    Are you trying to download apps from the Sudan app store?  If so, you have to have a valid credit card and billing address in the country of the app store to purchase from that app store.
    Some countries also have restrictions on the apps and functions allowed in their countries.
