Error message on trying to upgrade to QT 7.3 for Tiger

When I download the update, in the process of installing I get an error message. I have trashed the file and downloded again with the same results. What gives? Any Ideas?

What did the error message state?
See if repairing permissisons prior to installing helps.
If you downloaded from the Software Update Control Panel, try the standalone installer from the QT website and/or Apple's download site, repair permissions & restart after the installation.

  • 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.

  • I get an error message while trying tu upgrade iPhone4

    Hi,
    I have bought an used iPhone (not new but sill under warranty), and when I try tu upgrade firmware through itunes (from 4.3 to 4.3.3) I get this message "This device is't eligible for the requested build"
    What can I do to get this last firmware ?

    Problem might be on you Mac, you need to edit your hosts file and remove any mention to gs.apple.com.
    Editing the hosts file
    Editing the hosts file in Mac OS X – Leopard, is a pretty easy task, especially if you are familiar with the terminal.
    Step 1 – Open the Terminal.app
    Either by start typing Terminal on the Spotlight, or by going into Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.
    Step 2 – Open the hosts file
    Open the hosts by typing on the Terminal that you have just opened:
    1
    $ sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
    Type your user password when prompted.
    Step 3 – Edit the hosts file
    The hosts file contains some comments (lines starting with the # symbol), as well as some default hostname mappings (e.g. 127.0.0.1 – localhost).
    You can navigate the file using the arrow keys.
    Step 4 – Save the hosts file
    When done editing the hosts file, press control-o to save the file.
    Press enter on the filename prompt, and control-x to exit the editor.
    Step 5 – Flush the DNS cache
    On Leopard you can issue a simple Terminal command to flush the DNS cache, and have your host file changes to take immediate effect:
    1
    $ dscacheutil -flushcache
    You can retry your upgrade...
