Cannot install or Update. No destination Volume appears.

Update installers and original Tiger disk will begin installation, but stop at "Select destination volume" with a blank window--I can't make any selection, as there isn't anything to select, and I have to force quit. This seems to happen with any update, and also the original install disk. My disk is Tiger 10.4.1 and my machine has done auto updates to 10.4.3--I am trying to get to 10.4.6, and upgrade other mac software that I use (iPhoto, iTunes). Disk utility stops at the end of it's process--with "unexpected exit" error, and "minor bit map error"--I get a message saying disk utility can't fix the problem.
I invested in Techtool Pro 4.1.1 (which did install without a problem), and then resolved the few issues it had when testing. It now runs the tests with no errors found, but I have the same problems as above (no installation volume), and anything I try is VERY, VERY slow. Any suggestions or what I can try short of erase and install?? I have 40 GB of stuff on the machine, and can't easily backup or move it without purchasing more hardware and software. Wait--I don't think I can even erase and install, as the process doesn't get that far to even let me select options. Help.

It sounds like you have a directory issue. What you might want to do is get a friends machine to backup your data to.

suggests several methods of doing that.

  • "You cannot install iWeb Update on this volume. A qualifying copy of iWeb was not found in /Applications" How do I fix this?

    "You cannot install iWeb Update on this volume. A qualifying copy of iWeb was not found in /Applications." How do I fix this?

    Version 2.0.4 is iWeb 08 and direct publishing via ftp is not available in iWeb 08 and never has been.  You have the option of publishing to MobileMe, but you can publish via ftp, but you need to select the option publish to a local folder instead and then upload using Cyberduck, which is a free and dedicated ftp client. 
    If you want the inbuilt ftp function, then you will need to upgrade your iLife package to either iLife 09 which contains iWeb 09 or iLife 11, which also contains iWeb 09.  For this, you need to purchase both of these packages.  Either go to Amazon and try and get a copy of iLife 09 more cheaply or purchase iLife 11 directly from the Apple store.
    This is what you will need to do and iWeb 08, which is the version you have, never has had built in ftp so that option will never be available to you unless you upgrade which you will have to pay for.  Upgraded and updates are different things.  Updates are just your normal run of the mill software updates and address bug fixes etc., whereas you will need to pay for full upgrades to other packages such as from iLife 08 to iLife 09 or 11.

  • Cannot install latest updates for Bridge and Photoshop CC. Get the following message: Update Failed. The download appears corrupted.  U43M1D207.

    Cannot install latest updates for Bridge and Photoshop CC. I get the following message: "Update Failed. The download appears corrupted.  U43M1D207."
    I have tried to install at different times over three different days with the same result each time. My version of Bridge now no longer shows DNG files except as an icon. The update is supposed to install Camera Raw version 9.

  • Getting this:You cannot install Security Update 2011-002 on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update?

    I am getting this message: You cannot install Security Update 2011-002 on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update?
    is there a way to install this update?

    Hello
    More information would be useful, for example which Mac OS are you running.
    On the left menu item  About this Mac provides useful information.
    Also did you use Software Update to determine the update?
    Using Software Update can ensure you download and install the correct package for your particular Mac and OS version.

    Reset the phone (no data loss): Press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.  After the phone restarts, try updating again.

  • After IOS 8 update, cannot install or update app

    As my subject mentioned, after the ios 8 update, i cannot install or update app.  I have done everything like calling the tech support, follow their instructions etc.. Some of the things i had done were
    Soft reset ipad
    Hard reset ipad
    logout of itune store and login
    delete everything on ipad and restore from itunes.
    All these doesn't work and the problem keeps coming back again.  This is frustrating that Apple would release an update like this that would break my ipad air. On top of that, quite a lot of app are not working eg zinio, evernote.  My ipad air has been in this mode eversince the update release and i had mostly given up to resolve it.  For all other ipad owners, if you want to avoid this anguish don't update to ios 8. 

    You are not alone. Here's one thread
    Why can't I download or update apps on iPad running iOS 8
    If you have the WSJ app installed, delete it and see if that fixes things. It immediately fixed it for me, but not for all people with the problem.

  • I cannot install iTunes updates as of today.  Does anyone have any idea what changed with iTunes?

    The question apparently needs to be typed in twice...  good work.  Here it is again:
    I cannot install iTunes updates as of today.  Does anyone have any idea what changed with iTunes?

    Is this a distinct issue from the 42404?
    If so, are you getting an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • Cannot install the updates for CS5.

    Greetings. I re-installed CS5 when I changed the hard drive of my PC. Now I cannot install the updates although in my old setup, I had no problem and was able to update to CS5.5.
    Should I download and install CS5.5 manually on top of CS5?
    Or should I remove CS5?
    Will my CS5 licence work for CS5.5?

    Each time I turned on the computer I would get the message that several updates to Photoshop were available but could never download them or install them.  Following your March 17th instructions did not do the trick. However after some trials and errors, I managed to get the updates to cs5 installed (unfortunately, I don't know how I managed!). I still cannot get cs5.5 but it's OK.
    Someone from Adobe called me and suggested  that I upgrade to cs6 at a special price but I declined the offer, thinking that at some point in the future, I may move to CC.
    Thank you for your help, it lead me to a solution.

    I cannot install an update on Photoshop 11 because it says I have programs running that must be closed.  I have no programs running and I have restarted my computer twice and am unable to install this update.  Also, I need the update because the tutorial for 11 shows a completely different screen than I have on my version of 11.  Please advise.

    Garbage which operating system are you using?  Have you tried using the Task Manager/Activity Monitor to close the offending application/process?

  • I cannot install ICS update(All the available updates @ Lenovo)

    Hey guys I was using CM7 for a while , then i had frequent reboot problem with the CM7 ROM. Then i tried installing the ICS update version A107I0_A404_001_014_0116_US.zip
    that was available at http://download.lenovo.com/slates/a1/ICS_OTA/ 
    I couldnt install it after 75% of the installation i get a warning sign and the installation is aborted and i am taken to the recovery screen where the below options are available
    Reboo now
    Wipe data
    Factory reset
    Touch calibration.
    I used the below method suggested at xda dev. Remove CWM > Flash stock recovery > Install ICS update > Flash CWM again > Wipe/Factory reset > Reboot.
    But i cannot install the update as stated above. I am stuck at ICS update. Since the install failed i just see the Android boot logo after rebooting . What did i do wrong and why am i unable to install ICS update ?
