EVER SEE THIS MESSAGE "cannot install this software on this volume (null)"

Hi All,
I am trying to see what this message is all about. I have used LimeWire without a problem and now not only does the program not launch, my mac gives that message if I try to reinstall.
"cannot install this software on this volume (null)"
I have tried restarting, and also reinstalling on my external HD, but still no go.
Could it be something to do with my prefrences?
Thanks In Advance.

Dahhhhh That worked.

Cannot install the software for my new printer

I just purchased this printer yesterday and have been working all this time trying to get the software installed. I've used the CD that comes with the printer. I've used the online software and used the assistant to download and install. I've gone through many of the forums here and troubleshooted with all I've seen. I keep getting the error message cannot install. I'm getting frustrated at something so simple in the past has become a chore. I have only used HP products for my scanners/printers and I'm afraid my next step may be to pack this unit up and take it back to the store for a different brand. Please help.

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, and thanks for posting. I understand you are having an issue installing your new HP LaserJet Pro M177fw MFP on a Windows 7 computer. I'd love to help you with this. I would recommend first clearing the temp files on your computer to make sure there isn't anything there that is preventing the installation. Here are the instructions: Restart your computer.Click on your Start Menu.In the Search bar, type in %temp%, then press enter. Your Temp folder will open.On your keyboard. Select Ctrl + A (this will select all files)Hit the delete button on your keyboard to remove all temp files.Then I would recommend doing a clean boot of your computer. This will turn off any non-microsoft programs that are loading when you start your computer, to avoid any conflicts with the installer. You can follow the steps here to do a cleanboot: How to perform a clean boot in Windows Once the computer has started up again, try downloading and installing from the HP website: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177 Series Full Software and Drivers If you are still unable to install the printer, try running the MS Fix It tool. This is a tool supplied by Microsoft to resolve Operating System issues, and this version is specific to issues when installing or uninstalling: Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled Please respond to let me know if this helped to resolve your issue!Good luck.

IOS8 Multi Folio - Error message "Cannot install item"

We're a UK publisher using Enterprise Editions to produce multi folios. We publish v27, to target iOS6+7. On updating to iOS8 and opening our app in Newsstand, and trying to download an edition, we get the Error Message "Cannot Install Item". I've read through the various threads and can't see a definitive solution. Interestingly the two Adobe mag apps I have on my Newsstand (CMO & Inspire) show up the same error. Many thanks.

You need to rebuild your app as v31 or v32 and resubmit.
For details on iOS 5 access refer to this blog post from last year:

Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem. Then try again.

Hi
Try to delete all content (format by clean install), then you can install Mavericks, however I think its better to add mavericks into External fladh drive (USB)
to do clean install"
the language in the screenshot is Swedish which is same in English "Radera= delete), make sure you do back up first for you photos, music, documents,,,,,etc.

HT6114 Why can't I install Mavericks on OS X Mountain Lion? I keep getting the message "Cannot install on Macintosh HD"

Why can't i install mavericks on OsX mountain lion? I keep getting the message "Cannot install on Macintosh HD"

You have a Macbook Pro, not a desktop Mac Pro and, since yours is a 2011, it should install.
How much RAM do you have?
And how much empty hard drive space?
Did you get the machine new or did you buy it used with Lion installed?

Anyone ever see this problem before???

(AKA...welcome to bizarro world)
We picked up a 500MHz iBook (Snow, dual USB) from a recycler because he showed us photos of it's good screen and thought the unit would be good for parts. We were really expecting a piece of junk but when we received the unit we were surprised that it's almost in mint condition.
We turned the unit on and here's what happens:
1. White background with Apple logo shows up, no spinner. Sits like this for about a minute.
2. Suddenly Apple logo is replaced by a rectangle that looks like it has random colors in it.
3. About 20 seconds later, the spinner shows up, and then the system boots.
We thought something was wrong with the boot disk. We've seen a lot of school systems and companies mess with these systems by replacing the Apple logo with one of their own....cute trick if they do it right....if they do it wrong they hose the system. We booted off of a Firewire disk w/Tiger on it and the unit ran fine. Ran AHT on the unit and it passed with flying colors. We decided someone must have messed up the hard disk so we would proceed with a complete repartitioning of the HD and then an install of Panther.
Did the complete re-install of Panther. Unit worked great!!1! Proceeded to download ALL the updates for the unit. Suddenly, the system starts acting flakey.It's dropping internet connections, and can't complete downloads. We reboot. NOW the original problem re-appears (i.e. wierd boot w/scrambled logo). We suspect the disk is erratic and on its way out. We re-attempt the complete installation...once again, it works fine AFTER we do a CD based OS install, and yet once again after attempting software updates problems are re-introduced.
We've done updates on many 500MHz iBooks and completed Panther online software updates without a single problem. There's one catch, and this is the only thing I can think of that's different with this particular system: THIS UNIT HAS A COMBINED DVD-ROM/CD-ROM reader on it...not a CDROM or CD R/W.
Anyone else ever see a problem like this before?

OSX Fan:
Congratulations on the mint condition iBook G3.
I would first try re-installing 10.3.9 Combo Update. Remember to Repair Dis Permissions in Applications > Utilites > Disk Utility before and after installing.
I suspect that the HDD is failing or failed. As you may know, the Verified S.M.A.R.T Status reading is not as accurate as the Failing or Failed reading. This computer was introduced in May 2001 so it is well past the 3 to 5 years average life of an internal HDD. Download and run SMART Utility - 2.0.2 and see what that tells you. If the computer boots via firewire that seems to indicate that it works fine. If the issue is in the Panther upgrades, the Combo upgrader should resolve that issue.
Please let us know how the above recommendations work, if you try them.

Logic 8 bounce issue - anyone ever see this?

Whats up everyone? Has anyone ever experienced this issue before in Logic 8 pro?
I finished a track and bounced it then decided to move the session folder onto a external hard drive away from its original location ( my desktop) I decided later on to go back to that original session and make a change then rebounce the track. The session looked as if it was bouncing but then the final mp3 & wav where corrupt. I guess you can say I learned my lesson ( never move session folders)
Has anyone ever seen or experienced this before? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Well, still the first thing that springs to mind is pilot error... you should set out to replicate this result, or at least from now on make sure you oversee and doublecheck every step of the process. Include the name or a unique acronym of the client or something to avoid having different files with identical names.
regards, Erik.

Administrator error message when installing new software

Hi~
I am working with an ibook on OS X.2.8. I gave this computer to my dad when I got a new one and set up an account for each of us, both with administrator priviledges. I just tried to install new software and it keeps telling me that I don't have permission to install software on the default location of macintsoh HD and to check with the administrator... even though I am the administrator. It didn't offer me an opportunity to enter a password or to install the software in an alternate location. I tried installing a different program to see if it was a problem specific to this application and found the same difficulty. I tried both accounts and this happened in both. Then I tried setting up a new account as an administrator and this didn't work either. Then I delelted all accounts except for my dad's account. I've checked the permissions in system prferences mutliple times. Nothing works. Any ideas? I would appreciate any help as this is very frustrating and this computer will soon be useless if we are unable to install updates or new software.
Thanks and have a beautiful day!

Hi xinaroyall, and welcome to the forums!
This is the Tiger/10.4.x forums, but we'll try to help.
I've checked the permissions in system prferences mutliple times.
You nreed to repair them in Disk Utility, then reboot, but I'd make second admin account again for safety.
Let's see where we are after that.

Cannot install new software - adobe acrobat 9 pro

Hi
I have just upgraded my system software to Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6.3 so that I could install new software - Adobe CS5 Design Premium.
System upgarde went perfectly, installation of all other software in CS5 went perfectly and now all I need to do is install Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I drag the folder from the CD into my Applications folder but it does not complete the process of copying it and comes up with the folowing error message:
'The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in Adobe Acrobat Pro can't be read or written (Error code -36)'
Prior to this installation attempt I removed Acrobat 8 as instructions that came with 9 indicated that I needed to do this. The only other info that may be relevant is that this software is an upgrade pack from Adobe CS2, though I did not have CS2 on this particluar computer. It was on a different computer.
regards
Lorna

To download Acrobat 9 Professional :
Go to the web page : http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=en
Login with your Adobe ID and Password. Now instead of clicking on the download button copy and paste the following link on the address bar and hit enter :http://trials2.adobe.com/Applications/Acrobat/APRO/9/trials/AcroPro90_ efg.exe
This is the direct download link for Acrobat 9.
Note : This link would only work from the downloads page of Acrobat 10.
