Forced to shutdown during installation

Hi every one!
Getting a very nasty message when trying to reinstall OS on my Mac mini. During disc two it comes up with the message to turn it off by holding down the power. I have also tried to disconnect the power hold it for 5 seconds and reset the SMC.
Where do I go from here. Do I need to by a new one???
Thought initially it was my hard drive but I changed it and still the same message comes.
Is it a kernel problem. A little hard to any "reset" or anything as I don't have any system running on it, or is it?
Guys I need help, no apple shop in my area.
Is there hope?
Cheers

When checking the RAM, if a single so-dimm is large enough to support your OS, you could try running it on one, then the other. It's unlikey both would be faulty.
Yes, the logic board is the same as a motherboard on a PC. Unlike the RAM and hard drive, it's an Apple propritary part, and is expensive.

IPAD: Forced Shutdown During Update. iPad No Longer Working! Help?

I did a force shutdown during the latest ios6 bug fix update and now my ipad will not work at all. iTunes does not reckognise the device when I connect it to my pc via usb. I have tried everything I can think of to have it start but with no success. It just keeps displaying the Apple logo, then flickering, then showing some text data in white, then goes to a blank black screen, then the logo and all over again. It does shutdown but cannot do a startup to the swipe lock page.
It would be hard to believe one could fully kill an ipad so quickly and easily. Please tell me that this is a fixable problem! Any way to get it to start again?
Thanks!
Manahen

You will need to restore your iPad to factory from recovery mode and connecting to your computer. Connect your iPad to your computer and hold the home and power button down for 15 to 30 seconds until you see the silver apple. Once you see the silver apple let go of the power button but keep holdng the home button until you see the itunes logo and white usb cord. At this point you should be able to restore in itunes.

Forced shutdown during java update, created error in update

Upon shutting down my iMac this morning, I chose "install updates and shutdown" instead of just "shutdown." Realizing I didn't want to update at that moment, I forced a shutdown, by holding the power button. Java was the first of 4 updates.
When forcing the shutdown, "writing files" was in action on the update. When I ran the update later today, I received an error message that the update failed. This was only for the Java update, as the security update and others worked fine.
When restarting after the other completed updates, a notice appeared that Java Preferences cannot open. Below, the details read that "no compatible version of Java 1.5+ is available."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

I just reinstalled the update through apple's featured downloads and now I am able to open Java Preferences. Is there anything else to check to make sure the Java update has worked?

Apples update didn't work for me: Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7

Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7 - Apple Support
I have followed each of the steps listed in the link above with no success.
Prior to adding the extra drivers I was able to start the Windows install process up to reformatting the "Windows" Bootcamp drive. After that the computer would go through some instal processes and eventually restart. After the restart the screen would go black. The black screen lead me to the Apple Support link above dated March 5 2015. After going through steps listed in the link above, I get an error message stating that the D:\Sources\instal.win. file cannot be located. I am forced to restart the computer at that point and theWindows install process attempts to start again but always ends up at the same point.
Note: I am installing windows 7 Pro from a DVD. I scanned the AutoUnattend.xml file and noticed that it refers to "Windows 7 ULTIMATE" but not "Pro" or any others that I could see. (see below). Could that be part of the issue?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Here is an over-simplified explanation of WIM and CLG files. Assume your DVD Media contains
W7- Ultimate
W7- Professional
W7- Home Premium
W7- Home Basic
WIM Files
File1
y
y
y

File2

y

File3

File4

The File .wim will contains a compressed image which contains File [1...5].
The W7-Ultimate .clg will have 5 entries, with all set to 'Y'.
The W7-Professional .clg will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','Y','Y'.
The W7-Home Premium .clg will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','N','Y'.
The W7-Home Basic .clg file will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','N','N'.
This allows a single .wim Image file on the DVD media to be used to install any of the 5 flavors of Windows. When you enter your product key, the Installer knows what specific W7 variant you have the key for and will tell the WIM to extract the specific files the installer needs to be extracted.
The following line
<cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
is telling that a retail product key will be entered, which should go look for this specific .clg file (from the five you already have on disk). You can test if it will work for you by changing this line to the following
<cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
If it does not work, the other issue can be related to device discovery. Typically A: and B: device names are reserved for Floppy Drives. C: is your internal HDD.
D: can either point to the Optical drive, or the USB. The normal convention is that the removable media is named from Z: backwards. Y: and Z: are usually used for Network drives, so X: should be your USB. First try with the change to "Professional". If it does not work,

Acrobat 10.1.4 on mac freezes during installation

Acrobat update downloaded and started to install on my Mac but froze during installation and will not allow me to do anything. I can not quit out of the installation or restart my computer. Any suggestions???

Holding the power key on your computer should allow you to restart your computer. You can also try to force quit the installer.

After forced hardware shutdown OS X 10.10 doesn't start

I have a mac mini late 2012 and I've had a clean installation mac os x Yosemite on it.
And I have a problem: After forced hardware shutdown my OS doesn't load. There is a white screen, the apple logo and loading line. But when loading reach approximately half of a boot it's just stop loading.
I've left my mac for a night to see will it load at the end or not. After 14 hours there were still apple logo and loading line on the same position.
After 5-10 forced reboot the OS finally start up.
I had that problem twice with same symptom.
The first time was after my mac was stuck and didn't respond, so I forced hardware reset.
The second time was when my electricity suddenly cut down for a couple minutes.
How to solve that issue?

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

How can I quit a setup during installation

How can I quit a setup during installation?
The program I am trying to quit is 'CANON_IJ'

Restart or force restart the computer, if it refuses to restart, i.e. repeat the steps already shown by Noble Seven. If it stubborn, and does not restart— well, in dispair of solutions, press power button for 6 seconds until mac shuts down. Wait one minute and press power button again, you will be able to eject the disk now.
This is not a recommended solution, try to calmly quit all activities, including by forcing mac to quit them. If you succeed in logging out, you will be able to restart it normally.

Adobe Illustrator CS3: Fatal error during installation

Hello,
I just bought the AI CS3. It installed OK on my friend's laptop (windows). However, when I clicked the big button in the installation:
"Install Adobe Illustrator CS3"
A window showed:
Initializing Adobe Illustrator...
Then I got a message:
"Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe customer Support for assistance. Fatal error during installation".
I've tried several times. My computer meets all the requirements (it's a really new and faster PC). And there's no old versions of AI on it yet.
Can anyone help? Thanks!!!

Do you have any other Adobe products on your computer? When I installed CS3 on my Mac, I kept getting failures. After contacting Adobe, they told me I had to delete ALL other Adobe products -- including Flash and Adobe Reader. Plus, I had to do searches and delete any support files associated with them. It took hours!
