Having trouble installing Mac OS X 10.5.3

I have just downloaded MAC OS X 10.5.3, and when I restart the computer so the software will install, it just stops anf gets stuck on "Configuring Software".
I originally thought that it might just take a little longer then usual but the installation didn't change for over 12hrs. I then rebooted the computer and tried to install again but once again it stops at the same bit.
Has anyone got any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple forums:
Did you first run DU and repair HD and permissions?
If so, reboot into the safe mode but do not log in, just hit reboot after you get to the login screen, then try the update again.

    Unless you're using an older (PPC) Mac with OS 10.5 or older, those instructions should work.

  • Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1.  Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed

    Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1.  Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed.  I've tried quitting Safari.  Have not uninstalled currently Adobe as yet.  How to fix?

    Sorry, when I try to install Flash Player 17.0.0.134, it will begin initialing, then stop saying "Installation Failed" and to press "Finish".  It then directs me to troubleshooting.  I made sure I quit Safari as per their instructions, but have not gone as far as "uninstalling" my current Flash Player 16.0.0.305, because it looks like I will screw something up in the process.
    Hope that information helps.

  • Having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks

    I am having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks.
    I know that iMovie HD works with Mavericks because we are using it on other Macs successfully.   However, those machines were upgraded starting with OS 10.6.   In other words, iMovie HD was installed on these Macs when the Macs had Snow Leopard.
    When I use the iLife 06 disc, I am presented with “You can't open the application “iLife 06” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I understand that iMovie HD  is universal, not PowerPC.  How can I get past this to install iMovie HD.
    Thanks

    OK, I made some progress.
    I used Pacifist (Shareware) to open the iMovie HD 6 install packages from the iLife '06 installer DVD (iMovie.pkg and iMovieThemes_Tiger.pkg) and let Pacifist install them to the right places.
    But doesn't iMovie HD 6 require QuickTime 7 to work ?

    Go here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582, download the update file and run it. Ideally, start up in Safe Mode when you do the update.

    It is difficult to determine the point of failure from your install log summary.  I would recommend reviewing the install logs in their entirety to locate the exact error.  You can find details on how to accompplish this at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

    I'm having trouble instaling a printer driver for my Canon MG5220. I downloaded the latest printer driver from the Canon website (10.67.1.0) and installed it on my Intel iMac. It said the installation was sucessful, but when I try to add a printer, no go. The printer does'nt show up. I'm fairly new to the Mac, after switching from windows. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

    Hold down the option key and select
     ▹ System Information...
    from the menu bar. In the window that opens, select
    Hardware ▹ USB
    from the list on the left. On the right you should now see a list of all connected USB devices, as well as some built-in components. Is the device shown?

  • For Users Having Trouble Installing...

    If you are having trouble installing and have access to either another Mac or can Boot your old OS, try installing Pacifist from http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Then pop your Leopard disc into it and open the disc using the third button on the main menu
    It will scan the disc when it shows you a list of packages hit the "Verify" button at the top of the window. Then go do something for another 30-45 mins. When you get back it will show a detailed list of files missing, or that don't exist.
    I am missing 124,891 files according to the report and 20,000 of my files have different checksums. I know that my disc is DOA and I recommend that if you are having that problem as well, to schedule and Appointment and get your disc exchanged.
    Hope this helps.

    do you have a volume license?  or a single user license?

    I'm having trouble installing CS6 beta; when I try, it says to close background processes - specifically Bridge, which is NOT open. In fact, I just turned the computer on and tried to install what was dowloaded last night. Any ideas?

    Are you on Mac or windows?
    If you check the Task manager in Win (CTRL+Shift+Esc), or the ForceQuit applications dialog (CMD+Opt+ESC) do you see any Bridge, or other Adobe applications running?
