Error while trying to install safari extensions on Macbook Pro Retina

Dear All,
Yesterday I had to re-install Mountain Lion OS on MacBook Pro Retina. Everything went smoothly however after the installation process and updating sytem to the newest possible version, I am not able to install any Safari extensions. I was trying to find any information in the internet about this but so far I am unsuccessful in solving this issue. I am currently running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and Safari 6.0.1. I would be grateful for any help.
Best Regards,
Jan

Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

    Hello, I have mistakenly deleted all partitions on my mac while trying to install windows on my macbook pro, how do i reinstall the mac os back. I just wanted to have them both, please help. thank you in advance

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Error while trying to install SAP CE 7.1 EHP 1 on Windows 7

    I am trying to install SAP CE 7.1 EHP 1 on Windows 7.  I am getting below error while trying to install. can you please help to fix this problem?
    Running msiexec failed with return code 1603: undefined
    Commandline was msiexec.exe /norestart /L sapmmcX86u.log /i sapmmcX86u.msi /qn
    If you want the installer to retry, choose Yes. If you want the installer to abort the installation, choose No.
    Thanks,
    Sridhar.

    I donu2019t think so it is windows 7 or 64/32 bit hardware/software issue. I have faced u201Cmsiexec failed with return code 1603u201D error many times during SAP installation and solved this issue with below mentioned procedure.
    Solution:
    Just change the location of temp directory to empty folder in user environment variable without cancel installation in current user session. After that, click on yes button to continue the installation. If installation will ended after click on yes button, restart the installation with continue old installation option.
    Regards.

    You're welcome.
    I usually install app updates with iTunes on my computer followed by syncing my iPhone to install the downloaded updates on my iPhone. When syncing your iPhone with iTunes the first time after downloading app updates with your iPhone, the updates are transferred to your iTunes library on your computer. Less of a chance for a potential problem when doing so with iTunes on your computer.

    Do you have a retail disc with a picture of a Snow Leopard on it, or is it a gray disc? If it's gray, did it come with the machine you're trying to install on? If it came with a different Mac, it won't work.

  • Installing Arch on a MacBook Pro Retina

    I've spent many hours trying to install Arch on my macbook pro to no avail (over 14 times I've tried), I've learned a lot through this process, but apparently not enough. I get the system installed and blessed (in OSX), but when I try to boot into it I get stuck on "loading initial ram disk." (Previous errors were a read-only file system, but this one is latest) My hunch tells me it has something to do with the mkinitcpio.conf (I was told to add "ahci" to MODULES and "keyboard" after "autodetect" in "HOOKS") and I know the mkinitcpio -p linux command creates the initial ram disk environment (thanks to the docs).
    Here are my steps, the bash scripts I created to do all this. Does anything look out of the ordinary to anyone?
    cgdisk /dev/sda #(setup partitions as below, sda1-3 not shown)
    #partitions: (sda4 == 128MB Hfs+, sda5 == 256MB Linux (boot), sda6 == 30GB Linux (root), sda7 == 70GB #Linux Home)
    #first script
    mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda5
    mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda6
    mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda7
    mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
    mkdir /mnt/boot && mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot
    mkdir /mnt/home && mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/home
    pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
    genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
    arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
    #second script
    #install wifi (dmesg | grep firmware still says no firmware tho...)
    pacman -S wget b43-fwcutter
    wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/b4/b … are.tar.gz
    tar -zxf b43-firmware.tar.gz
    cd b43-firmware
    makepkg -si --asroot #kosher?
    rmmod b43 && modprobe b43
    echo arch > /etc/hostname
    ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central /etc/localtime
    hwclock --systohc --utc
    useradd -m -g users -G wheel -s /bin/bash dmj && passwd dmj
    sudo pacman -S sudo
    nano /etc/sudoers #comment out wheel portion
    sudo nano /etc/locale.gen #pick locale
    locale-gen
    echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf
    export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
    mkinitcpio -p linux #someone said i need "ahci" in modules?
    #make boot loader, copy to usb
    pacman -S grub-efi-x86_64
    grub-mkconfig -o boot/grub/grub.cfg
    grub-mkstandalone -o boot.efi -d usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi -O x86_64-efi -C xz boot/grub/grub.cfg
    mkdir /mnt/usbdisk && mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbdisk

    exit
    umount /mnt/home
    umount /mnt/root
    umount /mnt/
    sudo reboot
    I finally got a descriptive error message and am very excited to show everyone.

    Ok, so I managed to boot into arch. The issue was my fstab. The custom settings I was using were incorrect. Going with the defaults helped. Also, the version of grub I was using was broken. See this link for the fix: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=164101
    So after I tar -xvJf xxx.tar.xz the fixed version I was able to generate a boot.efi, copy it onto the 128MB HFS+ on OSX and then bless and boot.
    A whole new slew of errors occurred.
    First, the video mode error occurs "No suitable video mode" (and something about a font).
    I found a fix for it here: (but it didn't work) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … d.22_error
    I added
    cp /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ${GRUB_PREFIX_DIR}
    Then add:
    UEFI systems:
    insmod efi_gop
    insmod efi_uga
    After that add the following code (common to both BIOS and UEFI):
    insmod font
    if loadfont ${prefix}/fonts/unicode.pf2
    then
        insmod gfxterm
        set gfxmode=auto
        set gfxpayload=keep
        terminal_output gfxterm
    fi
    Gist: Add these few lines to your grub.cfg, result: no luck still this error
    What I'm not sure is if if this is affecting my ability to start the xorg-server.
    Then after that the network became unreachable (which is strange because the ethernet worked ootb on install)
    systemctl enable dhcpcd@enp0s10
    systemctl start dhcpcd@enp0s10
    allows me to ping -c 3 google.com
    Lastly, I cannot start the xorg server. Says the nvidia module is bad. I installed bumblebee, and ran startx (not from root) and I get a black screen. This is after installing: xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-server-utils xf86-input-synaptics nvidia acpid
    Then running: systemctl enable acpid nvidia-xconfig
    My graphics card is a Geforce 650M and I've read I should be using the nvidia module, not the open source noveau module.
    startx just boots into a blank screen now and I'm unsure why.
    Any speculations, ideas, or thoughts would be gladly welcome.
    Thanks ahead of time!

  • Installed Yosemite update on MacBook Pro retina late 2013 will not boot flashing folder with ?

    I just Installed Yosemite update on MacBook Pro retina late 2013 will not boot flashing folder with ?

    dunno, Lynn--maybe Etrecheck. trying running disk utility to verify the status of your hard drive. That may give you a basic idea. Perhaps tech tool pro.  As for it running hot, I can't say for sure. try shutting it down and using a vacuum clearner +crevice tool around the back of it.  It's been my experience that hard drives usually fail without a lot of warning, luckily you have a backup. Afterwards you can say "Yup, that went bad".  I've done a little research and found out that your MacBook Pro doesn't come with a conventional hard drive as such, but an SSD (solid state device) . It's upgradeable (up to 1 TB ) but not cheaply
    go here for more info (OWC) :http://eshop.macsales.com. For right now, I'd recommend resetting the SMC/PMU, maybe zapping the pram . to do that, reboot, hold down Apple+Option, P+R keys while rebooting. Hold down for 3 chimes, let go and let it boot. as for the SMC thing....
    I'm assuming your battery isn't removeable-shut down computer, plug in MagSafe cable . On built in keyboard, on left side, press Shift-Control-Option and power button at the same time.  release all the keys and the power button. press power button again to turn on computer
    that is all

  • Error while trying to install Oracle 8.15 on Redhat 6.1

    I have been trying to install Oracle 8i (8.15) on my machine but I got an error while trying to run runInstaller:
    Initializing java virtual machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please wait
    Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
    : Bad Address
    FYI:
    - I downloaded the Oracle 8i from the technet download site (I am not using a CD)
    - I am using Redhat 6.1
    - I downloaded and installed JRE as advised in the documentation.
    - My machine is a AMD K6, so is non-intel but I have not noticed any other problems using Redhat.
    - I currently only have 96MB RAM as opposed to the recommended 128MB.
    Please Help!!!
    null

    (All comments are based on redhat 6.0, not sure about other distros)
    If u are only using one linux machine, then I don't think you need to have 'DISPLAY' defined. Unset it then. This variable tells X clients where to display its X output. If unsetting does not make it work, then try 'export DISPLAY=ip_address:0.0' and then 'xhost +ip_address', where ip_address is the IP of your machine, or try 127.0.0.1.
    If u have two linux machines, like what I did:
    * Ran X on client machine (192.168.0.2).
    * Telnet to server machine (192.168.0.1 - where 8i will be installed), login as 'oracle'
    * On the telnet session, I 'su' as root then mounted the CD, then 'exit' to return to the 'oracle' login on the telnet session.
    * On the telnet session, I did 'export DISPLAY=192.168.0.2:0.0' - telling it that all X clients on this telnet session will send its X output to the host on 192.168.0.1.
    * On the client machine (where X is running), opened another shell, did a 'xhost +192.168.0.1' - telling the X server on the client machine to accept X connections from the server machine (192.168.0.1).
    * Went back to the telnet session to the server machine, then ran the installer.
    In short, everything you do can be done remotely, apart from putting the CD on the server machine.
    The installer runs on the server but send its output to the client.

  • 1603 error while trying to install skype

    I'm having an issue while trying to install Skype on this computer, when I try to install it, it pops up and says "Object Already Exists" and then I get a second window saying "Error 1603 has occured: Fatal Error During Installation." I had Skype and it told me I needed to update so I clicked it and I've been getting this message ever sense. I tried to find Skype to uninstall it but after clicking that update the program was gone. So I went into Program files and deleted all skype related things and tried to download and install again. Got the same message. Please help!

    You have to reboot for that fix to work.  If you already did this then for whatever reason the solution didn't work on your machine (possibly due to some other corruption).  The issue you are having is not Skype based but Windows/OS installer based.  Try to install the latest Windows updates to see if that will fix the issue as newer Windows updates were designed to address that problem.  If you have already tried that then remove the problematic Windows updates that causes this issue on some computers.
