Getting "try again" when installing software

I'm suspecting problem originated when installing (unsuccessfully) update MS Office; all was good before that. When reinstalling, gets to "installing files" then stalls, saying 'try again'. Also tried new installation of iWork, not previously installed. Same thing.
Tried Safe Boot and computer "went dark" and crashed. +Disk Utility+ confirms problems (e.g., "incorrect number of thread records") but cannot complete either permissions evaluation/repair or disk evaluation/repair.
Computer's "working" but I need to restore my copy of Office and other software as well. Help!

Boot from your install disk by holding down the c key. Get past the language screen and choose Disk Utility from the menu bar and hit the First Aid button. Highlight your volume in the left panel and then hit Repair Disk. If their are unrepaired errors then run again. If DU can't repair your disk then you will need a repair utility such as DiskWarrior.

Will re-install of System Solve "Getting "try again" when installing..."

Have yet to solve "Getting "try again" when installing software..." posted yesterday. Also note inability to perform Safe Boot. Will re-installation of System software (Tiger) restore the functions lost?
If I'm obliged to do this, any tips on how to: 1) preserve my Internet settings, including Bookmarks; 2)saved (not yet deleted) emails; and (3) my Address book? Where are they? how do I identify these files? Can I do some sort of backup before I go to Install?

For the convenience of others, here is the list to the other topic:

The basic problem appears to be disk directory corruption. It is very unlikely reinstalling the OS will cure that since you also appear to want to preserve all your files. In fact, reinstalling the OS might create more damage to your files since the computer has lost track of some of them and might just overwrite them not knowing they are there.
You either need to try to repair the directory using Diskwarrior (since DU apparently failed), or you need to wipe the drive (and all your files) then reinstall your OS. If doing the second option you should, of course, back up your data files first. However I can't help but feel when people mention backing up a damaged directory that your backups may be incomplete since, again, the computer has lost track of some parts of the files and may not make a complete copy. If I was in your situation, and could afford it, I'd go for getting a copy of Diskwarrior so you can actually repair your drive. If I couldn't afford it I would back up my data files, wipe the drive, then reinstall everything again from scratch, then copy the data files back on and keep my fingers crossed that none of them was part of the corruption.

Getting Message "the code you entered is invalid. Please try again" when entering serial number.

I keep getting the message "The code you entered is invalid. Please try again" when I enter my serial number. My hard-drive/computer was completely wiped but I bought Adobe CS and still have my proof of purchase. I am unable to redeem my purchase and re-download.

Which product and version does this concern? What do you mean when you say "unable to redeem my purchase" ?
If the code you are entering is not a set of 24 numbers (only numbers), 6 sets of 4 digits, then it is not the serial number.

Hi LeAnn,
There have been several posts tonight with this issue. I would suggest waiting until tomorrow and then try again. There may be an issue with the server you are connecting to.

Where do I get Windows 7 OS install software to install on my laptop which has Windows 7 Pro COA?

Hi,
I bought a Lenovo X200 with "Windows XP Professional preinstalled through downgrade rights in Genuine Windows 7 Professional", laptop has a windows 7 pro COA. How do I get Windows 7 OS install software to install Windows 7 on my laptop ? Lenovo is not giving me a Windows 7 install or recovery disk since it is XP preinstalled. Microsoft says Lenovo is responsible for it.

There are no alternative links. The download servers are extremely slow. Try again and be patient.

Incredibly poor performance when installing software (HDD problem?)

The computer was super slow (slower than any Mac I've ever owned) when installing software. The hard drive seemed to just space out (time out). Activity Monitor showed zero or little activity while installing apps from a DVD.
So I decided to format the HDD and reinstall everything.
I finished reinstallign the OS, and now I am using the DVD labeled "Bundled Applications" to install iLife and it's been over one hour and it has only progressed about 25%. The setup assistant says that the estimated time will be one hour and 44 minutes!!!
I changed the Power Options to not turn off the hard drive whenever possible, just in case, but it just doesn't seem to be doing anything at all (same problem that made me want to format and reinstall from scratch).
Why is this so slow? Anybody?
Thanks in advance.

Here's some more useful information that I should have mentioned: I have 2 external hard drives attached to the computer via USB and FireWire 800.
Before installing I ejected the hard drives but did NOT unplug them.
I noticed that while installing some other software the Apple Installer which is used by all installations (aka Setup Assistant) automatically re-mounted the hard drives I ejected, so I unplugged them and the installation process sped up to normal.
So I think this is an issue with the Apple Installer searching for information in all drives connected to the machine.
I will try again tonight with the Bundled Software and see.

I get an error when installing Call To Call

I always get this error when installing the Skype Call To Call toolbar:
"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package,this may indicate a problem with this package.The Error code is 2738"
Help anyone?

Just in case, even though it's for a different error message, try the procedure from the following user tip:

How to get a report on Installed Software Updates on client computers.

Hi, I'm working with a large company who plans to deploy mac's nationwide. ARD is what we will be using for remote management of the cient systems. My question is; how to get a report on Installed Software Updates on client computers.
Thanks in advance!

Error message: File can't be opened right now because it's being used by another task, such as moving or copying an item or emptying the Trash. Try again when the current task is complete.

I recently transferred some data from my external hard drive to my desktop, but there was an error transferring some of the files and it couldn't respond, and eventually i simply removed the external hard drive. However, the folder/files are still on my desktop, and when i try to move them or delete them, this error message appears:
“-folder/file name-” can’t be opened right now because it’s being used by another task, such as moving or copying an item or emptying the Trash. Try again when the current task is complete.
Since I removed the external hard drive before the files were finished transferring, there is no way for the current task to be completed. How can I resolve this and delete the folders/files from my desktop?

I just managed to resolve this by going to the apple sign in the top left, choosing force quit (or you could do option+command+esc), then i chose finder, and i clicked relaunch. After relaunching finder, the error message doesn't appear anymore, and I could move these files/folders, and delete them just fine.
Hope this will help other people who encounter similar problems in the future!

TS4268 I can't sign into iMessages. My apple ID works absolutely fine for FaceTime App store etc, but keeps telling me "An error occurred ant to try again" when I try to sign in to iMessages. Very frustrating

I can't sign into iMessages. My apple ID works absolutely fine for FaceTime App store etc, but keeps telling me "An error occurred ant to try again" when I try to sign in to iMessages. Very frustrating. I've double checked all the settings but still can't sign in. Any sugestions?

Try this - sign out of your Apple ID and reboot the iPad, then try all over again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
After the iPad starts up, go back to the settings for Messages and FaceTime and your Apple ID, and sign into all three again.
Sign into Settings>Store first
