  • Error Message - Can't install because "identity of developer can't be confirmed."

    Hey Adobe here's an idea.
    Maybe have some sort of actual customer support instead of this virtual support group where users have to try and figure out your product.

    There's a similar bug for Firefox that produces the error,
    '''Firefox.app can't be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed'''.
    In case it helps, see this Firefox article (and the related discussion):
    *[[Firefox can't be opened on a Mac - how to fix it]]
    Just substitute "Thunderbird" for Firefox" in the instructions.

    install 6.5 before proceeding further. I coud not understand.
    Just what it says - install os 10.6.5 before proceeding further.  You can either do so through Software Update or use the Combo update from Apple's download site.
    You should repair permissions and restart your computer prior to updating and upgrading.

  • I can't update itunes. I get error message can't find "itunes.msi". What can I do?

    What can I do to download updated itunes. I get error message can't locate "itunes.msi." folder.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
    Let's start with iTunes.
    Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
    With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
    Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

    By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
    Really?
    OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
    iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
    I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

  • When I try to install Windows on iMac with Bootcamp I get this message,"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."

    I try to get Windows 7 on my iMac 21.5-inch but on the Bootcamp Assistant I get this message,"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." Please help me and thank you.

    I have that problem too.  There's many other discussion threads as well.  Either Apple doesn't realize they have a problem, or they do and simply don't care.  Either way, not good.
    There is a workaround that I'm going to try next.  Go to this webpage:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    Scroll down to the middle of the webpage.  Hit "Expand All".  Now, search the webpage for the Apple product name of your computer.  It should be something like "MacBook Pro, 17-inch, Early 2008".  If you're unsure what you have, open "About This Mac" (upper left corner of your screen, Apple menu), and hit "More Info".
    Now that you've found your computer, read across the table, to the version of Windows that you want to install (32-bit or 64-bit).  Hopefully you'll find a "4" or "5" there.  Click on that number, to go to the download page for the drivers that you need.  If you just see an empty box there, then you're out of luck....
    Hopefully there will be drivers.  Download those, unzip, and then copy to a USB stick that has been formatted for MS-DOS FAT (or FAT32).  Use Disk Utility to format your USB stick if necessary.  Now, you have the drivers you should have gotten from the Boot Camp Assistant download.  You should then be able to go back to Boot Camp Assistant and follow the instructions from there.
    Hope it works!

  • I am getting a message "can't open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported"  What do I do about these programs?

    I am getting a message "can't open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."  What do I do about these programs?

    In defense of the original poster, I just went through the Lion page (http://www.apple.com/macosx/) and the sub-pages linked on the top (including the 250 new features) and nowhere does it say anything about dropping Rosetta/PowerPC compatibility. A simple compatibility line in the tech specs page could help these kinds of threads. Nevertheless, the argument that Apple should have made this change more prominent is quite valid IMO.
    Remember that Apple prides itself on being simple so don't expect everyone to be as up to date on compatibility issues as you. With the big uptake of new users in the last couple of years, these kind of questions should be expected, especially since most users are coming from Windows where compatibility is king (I can run apps from 10+ years ago with almost no issues).
    Complicating the issue further is that there is no obvious way to see which older applications are PPC and which are not (who knew Warcraft 3 was PPC and not universal??).
    A simple solution could be for Apple to provide copy of Rosetta that users can purchase if they want compatibility. Who knows, maybe such a solution is going to come from a third party

    If you haved tried all the fixes and suggestions, there is not much to add.
