Error message at end of lion install??

Im not sure what the exact message is, Ive received it twice now...i download Lion, but then it says it cannot be installed.  I'm running OS snow leopard, newest version, imac from june of 08.  I have all the right specs...Im not sure whats going on.  every time it errors out I'm at work, =(  I just want to know whats going on so I dont keep trying.

Thanks a lot Ajlan,
I tried installing the .exe file and it says it is not a valid Win32 program.
I can't even open the .msi file.
I used to have Reader on my computer and it worked, but for some reason now it doesn't. It doesn't show up on my Programs list and so cannot uninstall if I don't have obviously; I do have a recent version of Flashplayer that I was prompted to upgrade to.
Also, .pdf files have the right logo in the folders and desktop, and I can save files as .pdf in dropbox from this computer and open them on another computer using dropbox and they work. This might seem obvious to you but I'm a beginner so it's just in case, FYI.
Thanks for anymore help you can give me!
Oliver

  • How can I print emails? Printing Error message that no printers are installed. (Printers are installed.)

    When I click File > Print, I get a Printing Error message that no printers are installed. Printers are installed. When I click Yes to install a new printer, I receive a new error message that "Windows can't open Add Printer / The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine." I updated to the new version of Thunderbird 24.6.0. Using Windows 8. I restarted the machine. I confirmed printers are installed using Control Panel. I do not see any way to restart a print spooler. How can I fix this? Thanks.

    The print spooler is a windows service and is required to print. I would hazard a guess you can not print with any application.
    What I am saying is I think your windows instalation has a problem, not Thunderbird.

  • Help with error message: Expected end of line but got identifier

    The following is a calculated applescript step in a Filemaker script. It tells iCal to go to the date of an iCal event that the script has previously created from Filemaker. The code below keeps generating an error message: "Expected end of line but got identifier." Note: "ACTIVITY::Date" below is Filemaker's way of indicating the file name (ACTIVITY) and the field in question (date). Help appreciated.
    "tell application \" iCal\" ¶
    activate ¶
    switch view to month view ¶
    set theDate to date \"" & ACTIVITY::Date & "\" ¶
    view calendar at theDate ¶
    end tell"

    It's not clear exactly what you're aiming for here, so it's not easy to tell you how to fix it.
    At first glance I'd say you're missing a quote symbol or two, but even then it doesn't make a lot of sense without more context - for example, 'ACTIVITY::Date' isn't valid as an AppleScript variable name (you can't have a : in a variable name), and your code isn't within a Filemaker block, so it doesn't appear to relate to Filemaker, either.
    In either case the only thing that looks remotely valid to me would be:
    set theDate to date "\"" & ACTIVITY::date & "\""
    but without knowing the context of ACTIVITY::Date it's impossible to tell if this is valid, or how it differs from:
    set theDate to date ACTIVITY::Date
    (i.e., why the quotes are needed at all)

  • ITunes stopped working on Windows 8. Error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly.

    I have Windows 8. Originally iTunes worked fine, then it couldn't update (said it was unsuccessful). Then it stopped working, so I (after much research) tried a long and tiresome method of removing all Apple products and re-installing them. I did this 3 times and it eventually worked and has been working fine for a few months. Recently, when trying to update, it has said "update successful", but when checking for new updates, finds the same one it supposedly just installed, wanting to install it again. For a few weeks now it has not worked at all, saying "error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly" when I attempt to open iTunes. I can't bring myself to go through the whole process again of uninstalling and reinstalling everything, it took hours and it clearly doesn't solve the problem. I have no idea what the problem is. Reinstalling only iTunes doesn't work. The support pages have no advice available for my crappy version of Windows.
    Please help me!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    It shouldn't really take that long to do, assuming it goes smoothly.

  • Error message "auto duplexer is not installed" after a paper jam was removed on my epson artisan 837.

    I print from a Macbook Pro (April '09) OSX 10.9.3 to an Epson Artisan 837 duplex all-in-one which has been functioning perfectly for some time. The other day while duplex printing I got a vague error message to the effect "printer error, turn off machine and power back on." I repeated that process several times waiting a period of time and/or doing it speedily. I even unplugged the printer from its outlet, turned off the computer, waited overnight and tried again, all to no avail. I then found the back tray had a paper jam which I removed and replaced the tray.  Since this ordeal I have NOT been able to use the duplex function. After apple's air-print, an Epson Customer Service person told me to add a printer in Systems, printer preferences and to simply add in the same printer (only one i have) but choose not to have it be air-print. This worked even though it gave me Epson Artisan 837 and Epson Artisan 837II (the first with air-print the second not). I must be missing some step this time, however, because although I now have essentially 2 printer choices, the Epson II has duplex printing choices grayed out and gives me the error message "auto duplexer is not installed." Sorry to make this so long, but can anyone help me with this problem?

    Thank you. Those are beautifully written procedures.
    Looks like it's a network issue. I reach the step, "Adding a printer using the wizard":
    You must enter the following URL, you must use the Queue Name you noted down earlier
    http://<IP address of Mac>:631/printers/Queue Name
    which I do, entering
    http://192.168.0.4:631/printers/MP830
    and I get the following error:
    "Could not connect to the printer. You either entered a printer name that was incorrect or the specified printer is no longer connected to the server."
    And then I am toast!
    Using the other procedure, I simply don't see the Mac's printers in the Bonjour Wizard's "Browse for Bonjour Printers" window.
    Not sure where to go from here -- any ideas?
    The Mac's IP (set via DHCP) is 192.168.0.4, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The PC is 192.168.0.5, I can't find the subnet mask.
    Pretty sure it's a network config issue, especially isnce I can Bonjour to my other Mac.
    TIA...

    Are we supposed to guess what the error message is?

  • Itunes won't update.  I download the updates, but then get an error message that they failed to install.

    For many weeks now, my iTunes has failed to update.  I download the updates and they go through the installation process, but then I get an error message that they failed to install.  How can I update?

    Wild guess but if your WinXP system has formatted your drive(s) as FAT32 then the maximum file size is 4GB.  Could be that the download in 1080p is >4GB?  (if formatted NTFS then this should not be a problem).
    Again just a guess with iTunes on WinXP but something easy to check first.

    I am getting an error message when I try to install the trial version of Muse on a Mac OS X 10.8.2.
    What do I do? I have downloaded it several times over different days and I still get the same problem.

    Thank you there might still be some files left over from the previous installation.  You can try running the Cleaner tool to see if it can detect the previous installtion.  You can find directions on using this tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    Also how exactly are you installing Adobe Muse?  Can you please post the steps you are performing?  The error above is very similar to an error which can be received in the Adobe Download Assistant when trying to install an updated version on Mac OS 10.

    When I Restore My iPhone with itunes gives error -1 will end of the Installing  firmware

    Error 1 means, as the link that Chris gave you says, that your phone is either jailbroken or damaged.
    It can also mean that your antivirus is blocking the update, but this is rare. Try disabling your antivirus if your phone is not jailbroken. If that doesn't resolve the problem you need to get the phone fixed or replaced.
    If the phone IS jailbroken you have just learned why you should not hack an iPhone. And you will have to go somewhere other than an Apple-hosted forum for help.
