Error when reinstalling

This has been an ALL day project trying to get itunes to work and I am at my wits end!!!! I removed itunes 7 from my receipts, but now I can't reinstall it. I keep getting a "There were errors installing the software," message. I think I may have deleted some other files when I was removing the itunes 7.0.1 to reinstall. ANY help is appreciated!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!

    Hello! Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

    Hi
    Given that your answer to 1. is 'pre-installed' and 3. is 'No', I think the only thing to do is to take it to an Apple store (ideally the one you bought it from) and have them reinstall it for you.
    The intended solution in cases like yours is that you should be able to reboot and install even a wiped disk by using Apple's servers over the internet (you do this by restarting with 'command-r' and choosing 'reinstall Lion'). However if this isn't working for you then you need to get the store to do it. Don't let them fob you off with 'go home and try again'. Have them do it in the shop (you're still covered by Applecare warranty so it should cost you nothing save the inconvenience of the trip and possibly leaving the machine there while they fix it).
    A reinstall should leave all your own personal data and programs in place.
    Note for future: when you get it fixed, first thing to do is buy a cheap external drive and start keeping a backup (either Time Machine or clone with Carbon Copy Cloner).

  • Error when reinstalling mountain lion

    i erased my MBAs ssd partition from the disk utility and then went to "reinstall ios" but i got this error msg:
    "a server with the specified hostname couldnt be found". what should i do??

    In this thread, https://discussions.apple.com/message/18548757#18548757, 2105f appears to be a network error of some sort, such that connection to Apple's servers are blocked.
    Is there another network you can try?

  • Invalid serial number error when reinstalling Acrobat 9

    I am retiring an old PC that had Acrobat 9 Standard installed on it.  I retrieved the serial number using JellyBean keyfinder.  When I try to install Acrobat 9 Standard on the replacement PC and enter the serial number I get an error that the serial number is invalid.  As you would expect, Adobe support will not help.  So is there anything I can do?
    The first four digits of the serial # are: 1016

    Just talked with Chat. I will post the transcript. What a waste of time.

  • Could not remove itunes.ink shortcut error when reinstalling

  • "Recovery system can't be created" error when reinstalling Lion from recovery system

    I get the infamous OS installation error "Install failed... because a recovery system can't be created" – but in fact, the recovery system already exists, since I'm installing from it, and incidentally, I've previously already used it for an Internet reinstallation. I've tried about a half dozen iterations now.
    Here's the exact sequence of events:
    Reboot on recovery drive.
    Select option to reinstall the OS from the network.
    License agreement, etc; then select drive -> install -> sign into Apple store.
    "Downloading additional components" message. 1st attempt consistently fails at this stage, need to restart at step 2.
    Download for roughly 20 minutes, then automatic reboot -> "Installing Mac OS X".
    After about 10 minutes: "Install failed. Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer. Mac OS X can't be installed on the disk ..., because a recovery system can't be created. Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more."
    I've pawed through innumerable posts of people who have gotten the same error message, but haven't found one that reproduces my circumstances. I've reviewed the KB articles "OS X: About OS X Recovery" and "OS X Lion: Installer reports This disk cannot be used to start up your computer", with no luck. Based on a suggestion in the second KB article, I've reduced the primary partition size by roughly a GB and retried - no luck.
    See this thread if you want to know why I'm reinstalling the OS, even though it's (more or less) functioning and I have Time Machine backups. It would also make me feel a lot better to know that the reinstallation would work in case of real need. Thanks in advance for any help.

    John,
    I think I'm "reinstalling OS X by booting OS X Recovery": I reboot with command-R depressed, or I reboot with Alt depressed and choose the recovery parition, and then I start the installation process from the list of things I can do. Are we talking about the same thing?
    Yes, exactly.
    I think that OS X Internet Recovery would be necessary only if you were to attempt a Lion installation with a completely empty HD, implying that even a Recovery partition has not been created. Your USB flash drive is the way to cope in that circumstance. If you can install Lion by booting the recovery partition as you described, it seems to me that it is all that is necessary and there is nothing to fix, despite the error message you see.
    I'm surprised that Internet Recovery works at all, given that your Mac is not one of those allegedly eligible to use it.
    Without a similar 2006 iMac to test, I can only speculate that the "abysmal distribution system" as baltwo describes it just doesn't work well with earlier Macs, and that Apple may not have tested it extensively with them. If I were you I would rely upon that USB installer much more than OS X Recovery or OS X Internet Recovery. I prefer not to rely upon any installation method that can possibly result in "the server is not available at this time" or such nonsense, but that is the direction in which Apple has been going for a long time.
    An OS X installation log exists at /var/log/ that you can examine using Console, probably named "install.log". Deciphering it is another challenge.

    Not clear to me why you want to replace an out of date version of Safari with another out of date version?
    If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have) and it is misbehaving:
    N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings, and don't change the application's name or move it from the top level of the Applications Folder to a sub-folder.
    (If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall. Alternatively you can download Safari directly:
    Safari 4.1.3 for Tiger can be downloaded here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069
    Safari 5.0.5 for Leopard (and Snow Leopard) can be downloaded from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070
    Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
    Also, observe the recommended procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
    Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up.  If Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta and which was updated to v.3.1.2, and now Tiger uses Safari 4.1.3 and Leopard uses Safari 5.0.5, as does Snow Leopard albeit a different version. If these latest versions of Safari are not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    (Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari  can have repercussions, as previous versions of Safari used a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet, and the dreaded CT Toolbar. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for the latest version of Safari on your current operating system.
    You must also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates. These require a restart and a permission repair.
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for  problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
    Home/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
    Lastly, the Safari updates require a restart of your Mac, and sometimes even a double restart is required.

  • Quicktime Error When Reinstalling iTunes

    Hello,
    I recently had some problems with iTunes on my desktop which required me to reinstall the software. After reinstalling the software and trying to run it, it gave me an error message saying I had to install a later version of Quicktime. I downloaded the newest version of Quicktime and tried to install it and got an error saying the version I tried to install was older than the version I had installed. I then uninstalled both iTunes and Quicktime and removed registry entries with the program Registry Mechanic and reinstalled iTunes WITH Quicktime included. I received the same error message saying I had to install a later version of Quicktime. I then tried to reinstall Quicktime and got the same error I received before. iTunes and my ipod both work fine on my laptop, so the problem seems to be just with my desktop. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
    Generic with P4 chip   Windows XP  

    Hey try opening quicktime. Thats what i did, and after getting it up and running, iTunes started working again.

  • Errors when reinstalling windows from recovery disks

    My laptop crashed and could no longer find Windows, so I ordered a recovery disc (TR-IM00209299 - Win7 SP1 64Bit HomePremium (NH)) via the Toshiba Recovery Media Shop. I have now received the Windows 7 Recovery discs but they do not successfully install, and I'm unclear if this is an error on the discs I received, or an issue with the hardware. Below are the error details. Is this an error that any of you are familiar with? Please advise
    Unpack System/WinRE ...
    ImageX Tool for Windows
    Copyright Microsoft Corp. All Rights reserved.
    Version6.1.7600.16385
    Error opening file V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\15583XSP.swm
    The data is invalid.
    ERROR: ImageX could not apply System/WinRE V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\15583XSP.swm Index 1 from HDD to W:!
    Press any key to continue

    I contacted Toshiba in parallel to making this post, and they suggested getting a new copy of the discs. I wasn't sure if it was likely to be a hardware or software problem, so thought I'd see if anyone on the forum could confirm either way. I'm waiting for the new discs to be sent out, and will come back and confirm if that cured the problem. Thanks Mister X

  • "Need Disk" error when reinstalling CS5

    I tried to install my purchased CS5 on a new computer, but I get an error message saying I need to insert the Design Standard English disk.  I re-downloaded the program files, so it should not be missing any files, but it still gives me the same error.

    Are you downloading or installing?  From what you are describing it sounds like you might be in the middle of the installation process?  If so then I would recommend downloading a new copy of the install files from your account.

  • Error when reinstalling PSE10

    I upgraded from PSE 8 to PSE 10 and downloaded the software.  It installed perfectly and I used it for a day or two.  Then I got the bright idea to create space on my hard drive by removing older versions of the program, so I uninstalled PSE 6. At that point, PSE 10 did not work properly, but PSE 8 works fine.
    I uninstalled PSE10, re-downloaded the software, and tried another installation. It now hangs up and will not install completely. The message I get is:
    "Below mentioned application has failed to install:

    This computer OS is Windows Vista Ultimate, 32-bit.
