Error -127 when trying to upgrade System 9.1 to 9.2.1

I am trying to upgrade a Beige G3 Powermac, currently running System 9.1, to System 9.2.1 and then System 9.2.2. I have 96 MB of memory and over 5GB of free disk space. I downloaded the 9.2.1. upgrade from another machine, burned it to a CD, and then doubleclicked the 9.2.1 icon on the CD. I specified a new destination folder on my hard disk; StuffIt began decompressing 9.2.1; and then, when the decompression was finished or nearly finished, the useless error appeared:
The disk "MacOS 9.2.1 Update" cannot be used, because an error of type -127 occurred.
Successive iterations of the same procedure failed. Any suggestions?
This G3, I hope, is more hospitable to old files that I need to restore than a new machine would be.

Hi, Skepto12 -
That error is most commonly caused by Stuffit Expander intruding where it should not. The download is in a .smi (self-mounting image) format, a format generated by Apple's Disk Copy. Stuffit Expander has ShrinkWrap technology built-in, which allows it to mount some kinds of disk images - but not .smi ones. Yet ShrinkWrap tries to - hence the error message.
The solution - double-click Stuffit Expander, and open its Preferences (under the File menu). Select "Disk Images" from the list on the left, then turn off (uncheck) "Mount Disk Images". Quit Stuffit Expander.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Hello -
Have been running iTunes on Windows PC for many months. OS is Vista. Today when prompted to upgrade iTunes and iCloud Control Panel, the upgrade failed. Message received was "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126). Also saw a message that said a particular DLL file was missing but don't know specific file name. Have tried upgrading and uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes several times without success. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Error 1053 when trying to upgrade from BOE 3.0 Fix Pack 3 to BOE 3.1 Update

Hi! I am trying to upgrade my BOE 3.0 FP3 Server to 3.1 (Update package, not full 3.1 install). The upgrade goes very well, and for a very long time, up until the very end. At the end when it tries to restart the Tomcat service it throws an error 1053 with the following message.
The Apache Tomcat 5.5.20 service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I also get this same message if I try to start the service through Control Panel --> services or through CCM. The event viewer shows this message also in addition to the following..
Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the Apache Tomcat 5.5.20 service to connect.
Has anyone seen this before or know if this is a known error? I am hoping for a workaround so I dont have to backout or reinstall!
Thanks!

Hi Antonio,
Following information might help you to resolve the issue.
Solution1:
To resolve this behavior, use Computer Management to update the user profile so it is a member of the Administrators group, and then reboot the server to validate your changes.
Solution2:
You can disable DEP or add services to it:
1.Right-click on My Computer and select Properties.
2.Click the Advanced tab.
3.In the Performances section click Settings.
4.Click the Data Execution Prevention tab.
5.Use the Add button on the bottom to add the service's executables and ensure the box is checked. Do this for each Crystal Enterprise service.
Alternatively, you can disable DEP by checking the Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only option. By doing so, it will disable DEP to all applications on the machine including Business Objects.
Solution3:
Increase the service time-out for Windows Services : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839803http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886695

Error 1654 when trying to upgrade to IOS 5.

Get the same error when teying to upgrade my iphone and ipad2 to IOS5, The error is 1654. What do I do to correct this problem?

I got the 1654 error when trying to update both of our iPhones via USB to iTunes. It took a few tries, but eventually, this procedure worked. I let everything sync and imported the photos/videos that hadn't been imported to date. Then I shutdown iPhoto and iTunes. I restarted them and as soon as the iTunes window came up, I plugged in the iPhone. I was then able to update without doing a restore.

Iphone 5 stuck in recovery mode. Unknown error 9 when trying to upgrade to ios7.

My phone is stuck in recovery mode. Says error number 9 when trying to dl ios7,

I had the same problem. After itunes extracted the new firmware, the apple logo would come on on my phone and then itunes would give me the unknown error (9). I tried everything I could think of to get ios 7 to download onto my phone but it kept going in a loop. What finally worked for me was after the firmware finished extracting on itunes and the apple logo appeared on my phone, I pressed the home button a few times. After that ios 7 started to load onto my phone. I don't know if it will work all the time, but it worked for me. Hope this works for you.

Error message when trying to upgrade from 10.3.9 to Tiger 10.4.5

Hope somebody can help. I'm fairly recent to macs as have always built and used pcs. Am having trouble upgrading from current pantherOS to Tiger. Bought emac with upgrade disc provided by seller. Disc was gray labelled emac. Installation went fine and everything was proceeding to point it finished writing files, configuring installation, and running installer scripts and then it quit with message: error installing software. Try reinstalling.
Tried reinstallation and same thing occurred. then Tried complete erase and new installation. Same error message.
Came to discussion group searching for something I might be doing wrong. Decided maybe disc was wrong even though it specified emac which is what I am using. Bought generic install disc that would install on any G3/4/5 with minimum specs per hardware which system met.Installation proceeded as it was going to install same as emac disc. This is normal full install disc for generic installation.
All installations screens came up and installation proceeded to same point as before and then quit with same message: error installing software/ Try reinstalling.
Have removed ram to original 256MB and tried. No luck. I am using external DVD for installation of DVD and wonder if this is problem but in the forums external DVD seems to work alright. Can reinstall old Panther OS without any problem
Ran hardware test and everything checked okay.
Should I just forget about upgrading and use 10.3.9 but would really like to know what is wrong. thanks. Rick

777iPod,
This is a good guide to help with kernel panics: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
I think it's Support policy, even prior to an archive and install, to have a user first remove any third party RAM and third party devices to verify that none of those are causing the kernel panics. We weren't told if that was done, but I've assumed so. If third party RAM was allowed to remain installed, it is not unusual for it to be the source of kernel panics.
I don't know if it's part of the Support checklist, but when making changes like that, or when replacing hardware or software in general, I have always followed that up with a PRAM reset. I realize that usually Macs will recognize (plug & play) such changes, but my experience has been that it's better to just do the PRAM reset, or else be prepared to shut down and then do a fresh startup so that the system can do its usual self-testing that is performed during startup.
If it was an archive and install that Support recommended to jmanwee, and if it did not resolve the issue, I believe their next suggestion will be to erase and install.
Once third party devices and software have been eliminated as the potential cause of the kernel panics, I imagine Support will have no problem arranging for hardware repairs.
I'm probably overlooking something, but referring to the above link should help anyone get their situation resolved.
