Civilization V Install/Update Fails

PROBLEM: Attempts to update Civ5 via the MAS fail. A ~38MB patch file is downloaded, and the MAS reports that it has been installed. After launch, the app isn't updated at all. Returning to the MAS, Civ5 is once more offering an update. Repeat ad nauseum.
STEPS TAKEN: Verified that the problem is repeatable, and specific to Civ5... all other MAS apps download/update just fine. Deleted Civ5 from /Applications, relaunched the MAS, and attempted to reinstall. A 3GB file downloads, and the MAS reports that it has succesfully installed. In reality, it has not been installed. Restored from Time Machine backup.
Next, I checked with the developer, Aspyr. They report that the problem is on Apple's end, and we have to wait for Apple to fix it.
I checked the MAS reviews of this latest release of Civ 5, and virtually all of them are reporting the same problem. So it is not isolated to my iTunes account.

This is an ongoing issue with Aspyr as you can see from the reviews. No amount of troubleshoting that I've suggested has helped. That includes the v10.7 3 combo, deleting all App Store related cache files, using Lion Recovery to reinstall the Mac OS X, running disk repair... ad nauseam.
What you can do is complain to Apple.

Install Updates Failed:Preflight Script???

Nobody answered the only archived question similar to mine. I got the following message when trying to install updates: _+None of the checked updates could be installed: run preflight script for...+_.
Has anyone else had this problem and a solution?
Thanks.

Next thing to try is...
Use Disk Utility to verify/Repair the HD, then Repair Permissions then reboot.
Use the Archive and Install feature...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Repair Permissions afterwards, reboot.
After that would be a complete Zeroing of the HD and a fresh Install.

EVERY start-up automatic (?) 'installing update' fails because 'The update could not be installed. ...'

EVERY start-up I have to wait while Firefox says 'installing update' and than 'The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again' while there are no other versions running!

It was due to using an old version of Adobe Air. There really should be a tighly coupled error that either updates Adobe Air for me, or links me to the update. I was only able to find the solution using intuition as a techy.
Now I can install the Muse demo.

SCEP Post-install update fails

Hi,
I have SCCM 2012 R2 running in a secure environment - Internet access is tightly controlled. I'm presently replacing my SEP clients with SCEP, and my Antimalware policy is set to point to WSUS for updates.
SCEP will not update automatically during installation, however - even though it is "pointed" to WSUS, WindowsUpdate.log indicates the following:

If I install the SCEP client and run a subsequent Windows Update the client and its definitions update just fine. Once that's done, if I try using the SCEP client to update its definitions I get the same error. How can I change the client's default behavior
with regard to updating?
Please let me know if there's any other info you need. Thanks in advance for your help.

After installing update failed cant access itunes and reinstall didnt work

I was prompted to install the new itunes update when I accessed itunes today. (I was in the middle of accessing my music to send for a show, Im a aerial performer, magician and burlesque performer). The instal failed and now I can not open Itunes at all. I tried to install again and that failed. I keep getting "this application failed to start because MSVCR80.dill was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." followed by this message "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (windows error 126)"
What do I do? I need to access my music... I went to the website and downloaded the app again and nothing...it failed too.
What do I do? I cant afford to have lost 1000's of songs many of which I paid to have mixed and created for my performances.

I have finally found a solution!!! Yea! (It was in an obscure hard to find support article from apple only found after googling error messages, though why it wouldn't come up in an apple search is silly to me) So... you can not just uninstall Itunes because the problem lies within the support software that comes with itunes.
You must uninstall IN THIS ORDER (per Apple)
1. Itunes
2. Apple Software Update
3. Apple Mobile Device Support
4. Bonjour
5. Apple Application Support
6. Icloud
Then you must restart your computer (I got an error message that some files could not be opened because aspects were missing) I then downloaded the most current Itunes from the computer and the problem was gone. All files came up with the new download. Program opened with no issue.
Hope this helps the rest of you having this issue.

Installing update failed now I can't start Creative Cloud

Creative cloud needed an update but it somehow did not work. After closing the app I can't re-open it. I can't re-install the app because we're working on a school computer. The internet will not allow it.
We're using an Acer Aspire.

When I click on Firefox it opens with a box that says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments-. " then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle) The update could not be install

When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.

HT2513 My iCalendar wont open after a OS 10.8.2 update failed to install.

I noticed there was an update for OS10.8.2 so I ran it. The computer needed a restart so I did it but aftwerwards it gave me an error message saying update failed. I restarted and it loaded the OX but the update didnt load and the iMac no longer shows an update needed. Current version is OS10.8.1 and now my iCal wont load and keeps giving me an error message telling me to reinstall with compatiable OSX. OK, now what?

When I go to iTunes and select my iPhone, then Photos, it gives me the option to sync photos from my Mac to my iPhone but not the other way around.
You use iTunes to upload photos to your iDevices, but you can only use it to download photos from the device, if you have iPhoto installed on your computer and your iPhone, and have "Documents & Data" enabled in the iCloud Preferences on your Mac.
See: Ways of sharing: With other apps,Save photos to your computer using iTunes
If you do not have iPhone installed, use either the PhotoStream or connect the device directly to your Mac to an USB port and and import from the device. This way you can import all photos that are in the camera roll on the device.
I really need to back up my photos from my 16 gig iPhone to my 750 gig MBP,
But what do you want to do? Sync photos back, or backup your iPhone?
To sync photos back, you use "import", either in iPhoto on your Mac or "ImageCapture", but to back up the iPhone, you use iTunes. But backing up the device will not allow you to access the photos on your mac, see: iTunes 10 for Mac: Back up your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad

Firefox update failed, so I re-installed. Now firefox won't start up at all?

''locking as a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/969557''
So I ran firefox, and it was updating. While updating, firefox crashed for no apparent reason so I had to close it. Afterwards, every time I tried to start up firefox, it gave me the update failed error, followed by a crash less than a second later. I followed some instructions, uninstalling and re-installing firefox (without removing personal data), but now firefox won't start up at all!
Now what?

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

Office 2013 updates fail on computers with Access 2013 installed

I have about 10 workstations with the combination of Windows 7 enterprise 32 bit, Access 2013 and Office 2007 installed.
SCCM offers up both Office 2007 and Office 2013 updates to these machines, but the Office 2013 updates, fail to install.
The same thing happens when I go to Microsoft updates and manually install the required Office 2013 updates.
I read that one of the updates required Office 2013 sp1.
But when I downloaded it, it won't install: KB2817430 "The expected version of this product was not found on the system."
This is the second month I've had the failures. I removed KB2878316 and KB2889927 from my deployments and packages to stop repeated install attempts.
But this month I've got a new on failing, KB2899493.
Is there a way around this problem?

Thanks, I couldn't really find anything but it looks as though this could be just the way it is.
from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2784668
When you start a version of Access on a computer that has multiple versions of Access installed, the Windows Installer may start, and
a message that states that the Windows Installer is preparing to install Access may be displayed before Access starts.
Every time that you start Access 2003, Access 2007, or Access 2010 after you use Access 2013, the Windows Installer repair operation registers
that version of Access. Similarly, the Windows Installer repair operation registers Access 2010 every time that you start it after you use an earlier version of Access. This does not occur when you start Access 2002, nor does it occur when you start the same
version of Access again.
Is this likely to also apply even when running App-V?

Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....
Thanks!
