G5 downloads but hangs when installing, why?

Picked up a powermac G5 Duel 2.0 processors, 160 hard drive, 2 gigs memory and loaded with OS 10.5 to id screen. Finished installing and ran apple update. The combined update was downloaded and then clicked to install the update. The computer rebooted to a blue screen and seemed to start to install but stopped responding. The command+option+escape keys did not have any effect. Had to hold the power button to shut it down. It then restarted again. I ran disk utility and found one error and ran repair. Still will not install the update to 10.5.8. I assume that G5 will update to 10.5.8. I installed other programs and they updated just fine. Seem the OS is not updating. What could be the problem, assuming the update is supposed to be installed? Thanks

Hello, yes, G5s can handle 10.5.8
Did you use Software Update, or get it directly?
1058 Combo Update, 10.5.8...

Directly is usually better & Ethernet more reliable than Airport/Wifi

Running iTunes 10.7 on Mac OS X 10.8. Downloaded but can't install iTunes 11.0.2. Why not, can I

Running iTunes 10.7 on Mac OS X 10.8.2. Downloaded but can't install iTunes 11.0.2. Why not, how can I & should I?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The latest iTunes version is 11.0.1 version. 11.0.2 does not exist. Have you tried opening Apple menu > Software Update and install iTunes 11.0.1? If it doesn't show up, you have already iTunes 11.0.1

Tecra S1 Hangs when installing XP

Hi,
I have a weird problem. My Tecra S1 'hangs' when installing a 'normal' Windows XP Pro (instead of using the 'image DVD). The installation works fine up till the last 9 minutes...then it 'hangs', and the laptop stops working. Only possible solution is then to take out the battery & cut the power. Had a (1 time) similar problem of 'hanging' when using the image DVD
Somebody who had this before ???
Thanks a lot for all your hints & tips...

Hej guys,
Thanks a lot for the suggestions, and indeed, I also tried other CD's of XP pro...all with the same result. At the last 9 seconds it hangs & the only thing I can do is take out the battery. Last thing I tried was installing a Win2000 pro & that works fine. Then I tried to upgrade that version, but again...it stopped at the last 9 seconds.... :-((, so perhaps indeed I have to look in the direction of the memory problem ???

Mac OS X update downloads but won't install

When I try to update Mac OS X combined update 10.7.4 on MBP, it downloads but won't install. I get a message that says it couldn't expand and may be corrupted. This has happened multiple times now.
I thought it might be due to lack of space on the hard drive so i cleared some space (there's now at least 49GB space) and it still won't work. I also have updates for Motion Supplemental Control and Final Cut Pro X supplemental that do the same. Tried doing it one by one, and tried downloading myself but the problem seems to be the expanding installing not the downloading.
Anyone else had this problem and solved it??

You may have a permissions issue that's preventing access to the downloaded files.
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities and click the "Repair Disk Permissions" option.
Once complete, try installing the update again.

Downloaded but can't install - keep getting an error message because I never upgraded Keynote to 9.0, just pages and numbers

Downloads but can't install the upgrade because I never upgraded Keynote, just Keynote and Numbers so I keep getting the error message about Keynote, which I don't use. I just want to upgrade Pages and Numbers.

If you purchased Pages and Numbers from the MAS:
Dock > App Store > Updates (top bar of window) > click update next to the applications

Adobe premier elements 11 downloaded but will not install

adobe premier elements 11 downloaded but will not install?

Hunt
What you just wrote may have revealed the Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements integration consideration. If you have Premiere Elements 11, you need Photoshop Elements 11 for the integration between the programs to produce the DVD version of the Photoshop Elements Slideshow.
All along I was picturing Meyerswalter already in Premiere Elements 11/Publish+Share/Disc/DVD and being told to install Premiere Elements to get the burn to disc accomplished.
But, if Meyerswalter is using Premiere Elements 11 and a non integrated version of Photoshop Elements for this matter, that could very well fit.
So, Meyeswalter, so that we can dispel those thoughts
a. What versions of Photoshop Elements are you using with Premiere Elements 11? And, are you in the Photoshop Elements Slideslide Show Editor using the Output of Burn to Disc DVD or Edit with Premiere Elements Editor and getting the load software message somewhere along the line?
b. To prove this point, if you have not already, what happens if you take Photoshop Elements out of the equation. Import some media into Premiere Elements 11 and try to burn to disc from there Publish+Share/Disc/DVD?
If that is the core of the issue, I will post a list of Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements integrated combos as a guideline for you.
If this is the core of the issue, you could always keep the non Photoshop Elements 11 version that you have, output the slideshow to a wmv file sized for DVD and then import that into Premiere Elements 11 via its Add Media. More on that later if necessary since right now I am speculating on an explanation for what you are encountering.
Thanks.

Skype version 4.6 downloaded but won't install on my iPhone 5

Windows 10 downloads but does not install...

windows 10 downloads but does not install on my Stream 13-c010nr (OS 8.1). Says I need 5 GB more before it can install. Should I factory reset? Any suggestions?

If you can run the recovery, it should free up enough space although in this thread, it did not. It might also help to download the Windows 10 ISO file and run it from a USB. You do not have to run any updates to Windows 8.1 if you do that, you can upgrade right after restoring to the factory configuration.

Any idea why .swf works in "simulate download" but not when Published?

Hi,
I have a project where I have a main project which loads external .swfs, and those external .swfs in turn load more external .swfs. In my main project, everything works perfectly when I preview using simulate download, but once the .swf is published it doesn't work properly. I'm assuming is has something to do with my main site Preloader, that's why I posted here. I'm pasting the code here and attaching the latest size report. Any ideas or help is appreciated!
extLoader_mc._visible = false;
var yChange = 109.2;
var yStart = 330.2;
myInterval = setInterval(preload,100);
function preload() {
var current = _root.getBytesLoaded();
var total = _root.getBytesTotal();
var pctLoaded = Math.round(current/total*100);
mask_mc._y = yStart - yChange/100*pctLoaded;
if (current >= total) {
clearInterval(myInterval);
_root.gotoAndStop("Main_1");

I think this is either a problem with my site preLoader or my external .swf Loader. I was checking out the bandwith profiler and saw something weird and I wondered if anyone could explain...I've added a picture. I have a blank frame on only my actions layer to export classes to and it seems that frame 2 is "bleeding" into frame 1. Could this be my problem? Why would this happen? Thanks
