Different Mac (PPC) OS X install failure

I seem to be having a different install failure for Flash
Player 9 on a Mac (PPC) OS X.
I tried all of the various solutions listed for other Player
9 failures with no luck (permissions, uninstalls, etc...)
When I run the installer it stalls out with 4 items left to
install while trying to search the hard drive. I even left it
running all night one night to see if it was just searching the
drive slowly. The installer isn't crashing as I can stop the
install by hitting the stop button.
One thing of note, is that I've had a few times (not all
times) when I cancel the install that the Flash Player will work in
the browser (I'm using Safari 3.0), however when the browser is
closed and reopened, Flash Player appears to not be installed. So,
I'm assuming in the act of canceling the install, there is some
form of a partial install that actually allows Flash Player to work
temporarily.
Anybody have ideas on this issue?
Mike
Flash Player 9 (both PPC installer & Universal Binary
Installer)
PowerBook G4 OS 10.4.10
Safari 3.03

Well after doing some additional playing, I discovered a fix.
I opened FireFox and installed Flash Player from within
Firefox instead of Safari.
Safari began to work immediately. Solution has held even
after restart.

  • Mac Flash Player 11 install failure

    On Macintosh running OS X 7.5 my Safari web sites stopped recognizing my Flash Player; I downloaded the new Flash Player from adobe.com and followed installation instructions but Flash Player would not install It does not appear in the Applications folder, does not get recognized as installed by my web sites. I followed Adobe Support instructions to remove old versions, reinstall Flash but nothing seems to correct the installation error.

  • FCE HD 3.5 Crashing at Startup on Two Different Macs

    The software started crashing on my Power Mac a couple of days after install. I tried trashing the preferences--but It still crashes again every time I open the application.
    Then on the advice from someone on this forum, I trashed everything associated with FCE, Soundtrack, and LIvetype.
    Yet the problem persists.
    Then we got a brand new iMac last week and installed FCE HD 3.5 (from a different disk) and I am having exactly the same problem.
    I am trying not to pull my hair out.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Basically, whenever I click on the application to open it, it will start opening, and then will crash within 5 seconds.
    The only way I have found to rid this problem is to trash the preferences folder. Then afterwards, the application will work fine for one editing session. But then the next time I try to launch the application, it starts to crash at start up again. And will crash continually at startup until I trash the preferences again.
    This is occuring to me on two different Macs where I have installed FCE 3.5 HD separately using different disks.
    Both Macs are purchased within the last year, have tons of RAM, Quicktime Pro, the latest OS etc. etc.
    My intuition tells me that it is some kind of FCE software problem, since I am having the exact same problem on two different systems.

  •  Ps installation on two different boot volumes of same machine?   Ps 11.0.2 Mac PPC  and then...

    Hello, I'm new to this forum.
    My goal here is to have two different Photoshop 11.0.2 installations on two different boot volumes of one and the same Power Mac (PPC) G5 Quad, one being a Tiger 10.4.11 system and the other one a Leopard 10.5.8 system, for the purpose of installing two different modalities of the same Epson Photo Stylus 2200 printer, one with the printer set to use the photo black ink cartridge for luster and glossy papers, and the other one using the matte blank ink.
    This is because I prefer to simply change the startup disk when switching inks rather than having to delete and re-add the necessary printers.  (This particular printer does not support ink cartridge switching under any version of Mac OS X.)
    Photoshop is currently only used on this one machine.  Obviously this intended scheme fits well within the EULA conditions.
    My three questions are:
    (a) whether there is any technical issue I have failed to consider,
    (b) whether each copy of Photoshop on the same machine will have to be activated separately (in other words, is the activation tied to the CPU or to the boot volume drive?), and
    (c) if the answer to the latter question is yes, whether this will count as one or two activations for purposes of later installing a single instance of the Photoshop 13.x ("CS6") upgrade on an Intel- MacBook, since obviously C6 will not run on my PPC Mac.  Again in sum, will I be able to continue to run Photoshop 11.0.2 on two different volumes of the same PPC machine and the Photoshop 13.x upgrade on the laptop?
    As further explanation, I would use Photoshop 13.x on the Mac-Intel laptop only in order to run ACR 7.x, but would keep my PPC G5 Quad as my photo editing and printing machine running Photoshop 11.0.2, since an upgrade of my desktop machine to a comparably powerful Mac Pro is simply not an option for both financial and technical reasons (the Classic environment is essential).
    Any and all input and guidance will be appreciated.

    Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
    You can safely give us a snapshot of your model and its current config that will allow us to deternmmine your model and its upgrade potential, plus show it you have any software that may impede any upgrades. Please download and install this free utility:

    Suggestions? thanks.

    Issue resolved with the help of Adobe Support (Mercer).  My problem had been seen in another machine, there were empty folders in the Fonts Folder (Hard Drive>Library>Fonts) that the installer could not reconcile or delete, that was hanging up the Installer.
    My fix was to delete the following empty folders from the Fonts Folder:
    AdobeMingStd-Light.otf
    BickhamScriptPro-Regular.otf
    KozMinPro-Regular.otf
    MyriadPro-BoldCond.otf
    TektonPro-BoldCond.otf
    And then re-run the installer (be sure to empty the trash).
    My advice would be to first read the installer log and look for names of font folders that could not be resolved, then dump those.  Another way would be to dump any empty folders in the Fonts Folder, empty the trash, then re-sun the installer.

  • Premiere Elements 10 install failure on Mac osx 10

    I have a copy of Adobe Premiere Elements 10, the five disk set, and keep having the same failure trying to install it on my Mac. I have gone through all the product requirements and made sure that my computer satisfies them, but I still find an install failure at 51%, Exit code 7, each time.
    What can I do?

    I had the exact same problem installing Premiere Elements 10 on a Mac from DVD.  Exit code 7 when it reached 51% installation.  I followed the link to "updated installation instructions" provided in this forum by Adobe Employee Jeff Wright.  It works.
    The instructions in a nutshell:  DON'T USE THE DVD.  Instead, download a trial version.  When you install use the serial number provided with your DVD.
    I find this to be extremely aggravating.  I spent a lot of time trying using the Adobe Support Advisor application trying to sort through the error codes.  Then I spent time trying to get through to Adobe Support (never did get through).  Finally I tried the forum and found the answer here.
    I find Adobe to be grossly inadequate in two ways.  First, they put out a product that just wasn't tested.  The DVD won't install on a Mac.  It is as if they did not test their product.  Second, their support is awful.  This is a known problem with a known solution.  When the fault occurs, the Adobe Support Advisor application should point the customer to the "updated installation instructions".  Instead it points to faults that are unrelated so the customer is led on a wild goose chase.
    I hope the product will be better than my experience so far.

  • Booting different Mac operating systems.

    In the Windows world, the user can set up a computer to allow the selection of different operating system versions, such as Win98, WinXP, WinVista, to be chosen at startup.
    Can this be done with Leopard, or possibly Snow Leopard? I'd like to upgrade, yet keep the existing system installed. I am not referring to using an emulator like Parallels Desktop, I'm already doing that.
    One of the things that's the most frustrating to me is the different terminology used. Took me awhile to figure out that Airport is wireless networking, and today I discovered that Automator appears to be a macro recorder. Yet I've got a friend who could never figure out the other terms but the Mac terms make perfect sense to her!! Go figure!!! LOL
    And before someone suggests it, I bought a Leopard book last spring when I bought this Mac, but a summer job I took involved 10-12 hour workdays and I just haven't had the time or energy to get it read.
    Ken

    Supported different Mac operating systems (and unix-like Linux for Mac) can be
    booted in the same computer; in order for multiple Mac OS X systems to work,
    they need to be in their own partition so as to not mix up their differences, and
    applications that may work well in one may not do so well in another. So, each
    OSX has its own Applications and other folders, in their own home partitions.
    Snow Leopard 10.6.x is intended for Intel-based Macs; Leopard 10.5.x is the
    last version supporting PPC-based Macs. Some PPC Macs did not like 10.5.
    You could probably use a bootable externally enclosed hard disk drive to have
    additional system(s) available for the computer, instead of reformatting the HD
    & partitioning it for several systems. The OEM drive may be too small for more
    than one OS installed, depending on the uses expected and storage demands.
    Computers that can't support the latest OS X 10.6.x won't, and they can't use
    an older OS X than the one they shipped with, the exact as-shipped version.
    Some models can run several OSs including variants of Linux or unix for Mac,
    and select supported OS X versions; plus older Macs running dualboot OS9/X.
    The Support pages on the Apple site have helpful information on specific Macs
    & other hardware, so that may be of help to read about each model in question.
    Also, the free download offline database: http://mactracker.ca is fairly handy.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Same Disk Utility issue appeared on 2 different Macs after 10.4.6 upgrade

    Yesterday I upgraded the following two different Macs from 10.4.5 to 10.4.6:
    1. iMac G3 400MHz, 384MB ram, Maxtor 40GB HD (update via Software Update)
    2. PowerMac G4 450MHz AGP, 500MB ram, Ata 133 interface with 160GB HD from a brand I don't remember (update via separate 10.4.5->10.4.6 installer)
    The update went fine and both computers booted and function normally in all obvious respects.
    On the other hand, when I ran Disk Utility on both Macs and verified the startup drive, the SAME IDENTICAL problem was reported:
    Verifying volume “Internal HD”
    Checking HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.
    Illegal name
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking Catalog hierarchy.
    Checking Extended Attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    The volume Internal HD needs to be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    I ran Disk Utility from the 10.4 Install Disk but it says it coulnd't repair the damage.
    I'm not sure about how severe this issue is. I'll refrain from reinstalling everything on both computers until more light is shed on the problem. I'm posting this in the hope that others confirm the issue and Apple take a look into it.

    Lollo, Welcome to the discussion area!
    This error appears to be related to Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, and Adobe Creative Suite 2. See File system, I/O, Illegal Name errors, or system crash after you install (Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, Adobe Creative Suite 2).

  • 10.4.8 - Six different Macs all with problems since the update...

    We run a business which has six different Macs... all relatively new (3 yrs). Typically we run the auto updates, because that's what we're supposed to do, and we experience little if any problems.
    This last update (10.4.8) has caused nothing but problems - little system hickups here and there. Programs hang. Strange screen anomolies. Laptop trackpad issues (clicks and selections when none were made). I have to say that if Apple is going the way of the Windows machine I'm not impressed - at all. Consider thoroughly test your updates before releasing them on your loyal client base. Seems like a simple concept.
    Is there anything that can be done to limit the impact of the recent update. Backtracking to the last version is not an option, although setting up the system to allow for this will become a part of our workflow in the immediate future.

    dual 2.0 G5's, 4.5 GB memory, ATI x800 Graphics card   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Started having problems with my Imac first power supply (replaced under warranty), then HD/Boot issue. I ran disk repair and was advised by support to try to do an immediate backup (purchase external HD) and reinstall OS from CDs. Although I purchased an external firewire HD that day, my HD failed the next day (unable to backup onto new Glyph in time) so I lost EVERYTHING.
    I investigated data recovery options, but just waaay too expensive. So yes, there's nothing like a good backup plan. Lesson learned.
    Today (after a nightmarish struggle to get the computer repaired--different issue) I finally got my computer back with a new HD and logic board.
    So, I rushed home to start reinstalling OS and software. First installed original OS X Panther disks which incl Garageband, no problems (also set up internet to try to register all software), checked for firmware update (none), ran software updates, rebooted). Then I installed OSX Tiger (ran software update...10.4.8, etc, ), started Garageband new song one track piano (using an M-audio keyboard controller i had hooked up but had not yet installed the software drivers) and it worked! Very cool. everything was time-consuming but seemed to be working fine (and why wouldn't it on a brand new HD with all software installed via CD and all updates recommended by Apple?)
    Then, I decided I would next install the GarageBand JamPack CD (before attempting to tackle external HD setup, Pro Tools, synths, etc). So, I saved the "testsong" when closing and received error "Gband unexpectedly quit" and it stopped responding (spinning color wheel). After a few minutes I was able to force quit the application (really didn't think anything of it). Then I rebooted (since it did crash, I did go back and look for a possible software update but said I was up to date).
    I tried to install Gband Jam Pack (1) failed about 95% of the way through while I was trying to complete product registration online. Then I rebooted, tried again failed (during which my internet also stopped responding). I had to then reset the wireless router and cable modem, looked for help online and rebooted.
    I then ran repair disk permissions (it looked like it did a few updates but I did not see any alarming "errors" flash across the screen). I rebooted and tried to install JamPack again, failed, and rebooted (and looked online for another suggestion).
    removed folder: application support/gband/loops/Gband Jampack/ folder into trash then tried to install jampack again, failed, and rebooted.
    removed folder again, ran repair disk utility (did not look like it made any updates or report any errors), rebooted. Tried to install again and failed and rebooted, emptied trash and rebooted again.
    I am now running repair disk utility one more time (10 solid hours into the software installation process ....my internet just stopped responding again so I apparently have to reset the wireless router again just before trying to send this message). I will run repair one more time, and completely power off computer for a couple of hours while I grab some sleep before work.
    But, now I am seeing all these SCARY stories about the 10.4.8 update I just installed?!.
    Are these problems related? Can someone please help me? Surely it cannot be this difficult. Thank you!

  • How Many Installs Allowed/ How To Apply to 3 different Macs?

    Since we are no longer dealing with a disc, can you install the new Lion upgrade on 3 different Macs, purchasing only one for the $29.00, or do you have to buy Lion for each individual computer?  If you can install onto other Macs with one purchase, how do you install on each individual Mac?  Thanks for any advice

    You are allooweed up to 5 Macs.
    However beware as the installer self distructs on use so you have to clone it *before* you upgrade.
    Simply Download from the Applestore and copy the installer to your two other Mac *then* run it.
    Make sure you do all the pre-installation checks, upgrades, compatibility checks and backups before you upgrade.

    Generally YES.
    It's possible to hold separate iTunes library's on a single machine.
    Generate two new folders inside the Music folder of the Mini and name them differently; e.g. man and woman.
    Copy your whole library into "man" and your wifes into "woman"
    Go to sharing in the system settings of the Mini and share the Music folder in your network.
    After copying the whole library's to the Mini you may point iTunes to the new location at startup by holding the option key (alt) at the keyboard.
    iTunes will then ask you where the library is located.
    Point it to the matching library on the Mini.
    That's all.
    Lupunus
    PS ... If you both use only the Mini you have to setup a user account for each and just copy the whole library to the Music folder in particular.
