  • Adobe Flash Player (General install error) *****! Mach_Kernal missing?

       Never had a problem updating Adobe Flash Player over the last maybe 10 times, It downloads to 50% and then bottoms out with a (general install error) message. So the I uninstalled and tried to re-install to no avail.
      I don't know if I updated since updating to 10.8.5 but I read that the (Mach_Kernal) was found on people's (Documents) folder and some people deleted this but I don't remember if I ever got this when I updated. This was a blunder when updating to 10.8.5 and Apple was aware of it.
      If that file isn't there is will cause Adobe Flash Player to fail.
      I tried several Sudo commmands in Terminal to find the invisible (Mach_Kernel) file but when I type that in it just comes up with a message (No such thing found) Then I tried another Sudo command which would install it if it was missing and it comes up with the same thing (no such file or directory found).
      Anyone know where this file resides and what folder it's in and can direct me exactly how to get to it to find out if it's still on my machine? As I said the Sudo commands came up with no results.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Thanks for your responses!

    I don't know what you mean by clone your setup. Exactly what the whole OS? on an external drive. I do have an external drive but don't know how to back up the whole OS.
    You use a separate partition (much preferably on a different physical drive) to make an exact copy of your current startup drive. At any time, you can choose to boot to it. Time Machine is a nice idea in that it automatically keeps various iterations of your data for you so you can go back to older versions of a document and such, but is (in my personal opinion) the clumsiest way possible to restore a hard drive.
    You can create a clone with Disk Utility, SuperDuper!, or Carbon Copy Cloner. The last two are third party apps which can perform extra abilities to make clone backups easier. I use the registered version of SuperDuper! myself, but CCC works just as well.
    Once you make a clone of your startup drive, it is just what it implies. You have an exact copy of whatever drive you clone to another drive/partition. So instead of going through the very roundabout way of restoring a drive by reinstalling the OS and attaching a Time Machine backup to the reinstall on the fly, you simply boot to your clone and copy it back. Done. Takes way, WAY less time to get back up and running.
    But if I do a re-install from that it'll bring back my lost stuff but will also bring back the old crap again. So what good would it do.
    Yes, that could be an issue, but at least you'd be back to your last Time Machine backup state.
    Plus No! I searched the App store and OS X Mountain Lion woulnd't even come up.
    Open the App Store app and click on Store > View My Account. Click on the Manage link to unhide redownloadable purchases. Unhide Mountain Lion so it appears under the Purchases tab again.
    Where did you read that Apple fixed this 10.8.5 Kernal problem?
    A few users noted it on these forums about a week after the bug was noticed. They said the 10.8.5 update and full download of ML were fixed. I haven't checked it myself. It's very easy to properly hide the mach_kernel file if necessary.
    Enter this in Terminal, or copy/paste the line below into Terminal:
    sudo chflags hidden /mach_kernel
    It will then ask for your admin password to complete the command. After that, the kernel should be hidden.
    Well it wouldn't do me any good if I brought it back from Time Machine because the error is in the back up.
    Yes, that is what would happen. I don't think you have any control over an OS/Time Machine reinstall. You will always be put back at your last backup state.
    Furthemore if it's in your past purchases (You should't have to pay for it)! Why would I pay for it when it's in my past purchases with a download button?
    You absolutely should not have to. Once purchased, it's yours. I've got Lion and Mountain Lion on bootable USB drives I made from the downloads. I can boot my Mac to those at any time and reinstall the OS. I'm going to do the same thing with Mavericks, just haven't done it yet.

  • Keep getting "General Install Error" when installing Flash Player 13 on Mac OSX 10.9.3

    For about 2 weeks now I've been getting software update notifications for Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat X. Every time I run the update install I get an error that will not allow it finish. For Flash specifically that error says "General Install Error". I've uninstalled all of these programs to try to correct this error, now they are unable to be reinstalled due to this error. Please help!

    Hi Sanhodo4,
    To confirm, did you actually terminate the Safari process, or simply close the Safari windows? If you closed just the browser window, the Safari process was not terminated.  Please refer to How do I quit Safari (or another browser/app) in OS X.

  • Device Driver Update...General Install error

    I have the Pantech UML290.  I have intalled and uninstalled SEVERAL times the software. When I run the .exe it tells me its installing the driver; however, it stops and I get a message of GENERAL INSTALL ERROR.  Once I hit ok, it will finish installing VZ Access.  I cannot use my device.  I have tried inserting it into all 3 ports on my laptop and no luck.
    I am installing 7.9.1.0 (2807b) for Windows 7 32/64 bit.  When I connect my device it tells me that it cannot locate my driver.  I even go to device manager, click on the yellow icon and select to update driver however the driver can never be found. 
    Windows 7 PC
    64 bit
    Lenovo X230
    Very frustrated.  I work in IT and I have NEVER had problems installing anything until NOW.  I have searched the internet for hours to see if the driver exists somewhere and I find nothing except links back to the link I have already used.

    Sidenote--Itunes compatibility is my curent version of OS.  I have an IPAD 3 that wont sync because of old verison of itunes

  • General install error - version 11 on Mac Mountain Lion

    OS is up to date. Updating flash on firefox. Firefox is latest version (22.0). Firefox is not running. Older flash version is uninstalled successfully.
    "General installation error".
    Any solution?

    I'm a Linux user so Single User Mode and Terminal are second nature to me. But I spent too many years telling Windows users NOT to boot into safe mode to install stuff because if if you have to leave the GUI for anything beyond Kernel level mods... "something ain't right".
    I'm totally cool with your solution, and certainly glad that you were able to do it. Unfortunately, these days there are a lot of "Windows converts" who can't do that sort of stuff, like you or I could, so I don't instruct them to try something that if they screw it up, I get my butt chewed for it. I did that with a registry "tweak" in 2005, and nearly got banned. I'm not an Adobe employee, so I don't need to be bawled out by those here who are. I err on the side of caution.
    Again, I'm glad you got it worked out... oh, and I don't get to "enjoy my broken Flash install" because mine works. Watching classic movies on YouTube as I type this...

  • New Internal Hard Drive and Clean Install: Errors, Frustration and Hopelessness

    First Off:
    Macbook 13" (late 2009) ... It was running Mountain Lion 10.8.5 with 2 gigs of memory and 160gig stock hard drive.
    I started this process almost a week ago and despite numerous attempts every night I have had no luck. I appologize if the details here are fuzzy, my head is spinning after reading dozens of threads and attempting multiple solutions to each error I've received and i cant remember everything I've tried so far...
    I got my new memory in the mail first, upgraded to 4 gigs and everything works fine with that..
    Next came my new Seagate Momentus 750 gb 7200 rpm SATA 3gb/s 16Mb Internal Hard Drive.
    Using this guide: http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/17/make-bootable-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion-usb-install -drive/ (and cross checking other guides) I ended up creating a bootable external drive using my 160gb External Firewire drive for my clean install to my new hard drive. So far so good.
    I then shut down the computer, removed the old internal hard drive, installed the new, restarted the computer holding option key and booted up using the External Hard Drive, and the install software started fine. Note: I have attempted to re-erase the drive so many times without luck that I cant remember if I actually successfully erased the drive originally to begin with the installation, but either way I started the OSX reinstall and it got almost all the way finished before it gave me the error message:
    "Install failed. Mac OS X Lion couldn’t be installed, because the disk (volume name) is damaged and can’t be repaired. Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again."
    restarting of course did nothing, it repeatedly gave me error messages and made me quit installation...
    Disk Utility isnt getting me anywhere, im either getting errors like:
    "POSIX reports: the operation couldnt be completed. device no configured"
    it wont allow me to erase the drive or partition the drive
    "Disk Erase failed with the error: File System Formatter Failed"
    and everytime the drive fails to erase or partition, it disappears from the list of drives on the left of the disk utility screen and i have to restart the computer for it to reappear for a second try. Typically the volume under the drive is greyed out and says that it is unmounted.
    Ive zapped the PRAM.... and Ive done other things that I cant quite remember right now because my brain is boiling from reading too many **** threads on multiple devices....
    halp.
    halp me plase.

    So funny story...
    While writing this discussion I had to come to the computer and try to erase the drive so I could see the error code for reference. The erase didnt work as usual but I wrote the error code down here.
    I also could not remember the error code for partitioning the drive so I attempted that as well so I could write down the code, and this time it magically partitioned successfully! The only thing I did differently was that I didn't rename the partition because i figured it wouldn't matter anyway. Since the partition was successful, I attempted the Reinstall of ML and it magically worked!!
    I dont know what the **** happened but ive been attempting this install every night for like 3 hours since Monday and this is the first time it went through... for no apparent reason?
    Ghosts? Magic? Full Moon?
    we may never know...
    Thanks anyways guys!

  • KB2565063 installed and not installed, errors 80070643 800B010B

    This is weird even by MS standards. I have several servers (but not all) on which KB2565063, C++ Redistributable SP1 fails, but in Control Panel/Programs it says it installed with version 10.0.40219, which is SP1.
    In Event Viewer you find error 80070643 (a generic failure) and in Windows Update/View Update History you find failed with error 800B010B (a generic trust failure). I've tried several things, including uninstall/reinstall and repair but they don't work.
    If you manually try to install the patch it'll ask you if you want to repair, which means it thinks it's installed. So why on earth does Windows Update and Software Center think it failed?

    Hi,
    The return code from the update is 80070643. So SCCM thinks it is failed. I suggest you try uninstalling the update and try installing it manually, then observe the log file to determine how the installation goes.

  • Oracle enterprise Linux and 10gR2 instalation error

    I have installed Oracle Unbreakable Linux (from 4 CD's).
    When tried to install Oracle 10gR2 I got error that displays when it's 83 % already installing:
    Error in invoking target 'client_sharedlib' of makefile '/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/lib/ins_net_client.mk
    I have installed developement pack (aditional rpm packages installed), but I don't know what's happening.
    I read on other forum (Error installing Oracle Client on Red Hat 4.0 that I might miss some package.
    My system is fully 32 bit, so I think I do not need any 64 bit package, like suggested in that thread!?
    Second question:
    I thought that "Unbreakable Linux from Oracle" has all additional packages prepared for Oracle installation ...at least for current release 10gR2?
    Is that true?
    Third one:
    If I use croatian keyboard, I cannot type "_" (underscore sign. How to have that (for me very important key)?
    Thanks...

  • Where can I find Flash and Acrobat Install packages for Mac OS X?

    I'm managing over 200 Macs, and I need the Package Installs for Flash and Acrobat, and I need them everytime you decide to release an update.
    Our Department has licenses for 50 copies CS 6 Design & Web Premium, but the Adobe Manager doesn't manage Flash or Acrobat updates.
    Do you have Mac OS X Packages for these Apps?

  • Erase And Clean Install Error

    Hi Guys,
    I'm attempting to reinstall OSX on a Macpro - 10.4.10 using the Erase and Clean Install. All goes well with the first installation disc and all is going well with the second disc until it gets to garageband where it freezes and then stops installing and says that I need to try and reinstall again - I''ve tried three times now - is there something I am doing wrong or need to do differently to bypass this problem.
    Thanks

    First off, there is no such thing as an erase and clean install option. These are these Mac OS X installation options:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607614
    So what are you doing according to the actual installer?

  • How do I install Flash?  Getting install error now.

    Winsows XP sp3
    Latest version of Firefox installed 3.6.8 (primary browser)
    Also have IE8 installed.
    32 Bit system
    Everything was running fine, then one day I fired up a video site and it said I needed to download the Flash plugin, which had been working before.  I downloaded and just got "installation error" message with no explanation.  Used the uninstaller to remove (both with not rebooting and with rebooting before going to the next step of intalling).  When I download and run the latest player from the adobe site, I get:
    A required file
    (C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10h_
    ActiveX.exe:3) could not be installed.
    I have tried following the additonal steps on the site of tweaking IE security settings, but I still am not able to get this running.
    Can anyone please help?
    thanks,

    Hi, thanks for the info. Something was out of sync, for sure. You'll have to remember how you did that just in case:-)
    That was very unusual, but good that you were able to correct it.

  • General install error on mac

    Alright So I've tried to trouble shoot this myself and it wont install at all on my laptop. I run OS 10.8.5. I've tried the clean install thing too that didnt' work.
    These are the errors i keep getting. I need to have this program or whatever so i can watch the vids for classes online. The faster i can get help the better,
    Thanks!

    Your troubles aren't coming from Flash Player.
    You're missing a file that was made visible by the 10.8.5 update. Hundreds of thousands of Mac users all over the world deleted it, not knowing what it was. It causes this when it's missing.
    Download this file: "Secrets" pereference pane
    And this one: mach_kernel.zip
    Install Secrets, and open your System Preferences.
    Open the Secrets Preference Pane, and check "Show hidden files"
    You'll need to press the "Quit this" button,
    and restart Finder, by right clicking the Dock icon.
    Then, place the mach_kernel.zip file in the Mac HD directory,
    and unzip it. You should see a "faded" mach_kernel file appear.
    Trash the zip file.
    Reopen your System Preferences and uncheck "Show Hidden files".
    Instead of quitting Finder and relaunching it, reboot your Mac.
    Your Flash Player installer won't quit anymore.
