Having trouble installing the 10.5.3 update

For some reason, my Macbook won't install the next Mac OSX update, It'll restart and bring up the screen and just stay at the "Configuring INstallation" Screen for hours,
How do I fix this?

Can you please clarify - are you able to start up your system and login - or not?
As I recall, the configuring installation screen comes up when you are running the install from Software Update - after logging in successfully.
_*If that is the case*_ - then you simply need to delete everything in yourharddrive/Library/Updates/ and run Software Update again. It will then work.
Alternatively (after deleting whatever is in /library/updates/), you could manually [download and run the combo installer from Apple|http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1053comboupdate.html].
_*On the other hand*_, if you can't start up and login successfully, the instructions provided by Simon are spot on.

    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 will not install your machine is close to 7 years old and the newest Flash Player will not install on that old of an Operating System.
    If you have flash on there already then thats probably the best your going to get.
    You can Google and see what is the latest version for your Operating System.

  • Having trouble installing the certificate..

    Having trouble installing the certificate.. downloaded the file already.(AET.aetx) on my phone, it says Tap to open,.it ask "Add company account? select add..however
    it keeps me on the same process.. no installation was done..need help please.. :( currently using Lumia 810 

    Hello,
    To install the certificate, you only have to scan the provided QR code. The code appears when you click the “Install the certificate” link that you see after you generate an application. Press the magnifying glass at the bottom of the mobile phone to launch
    Bing search, and then press the eye icon that appears at the bottom of the screen. Point the phone’s camera at the QR code, and the phone will automatically scan it.
    Important: Once installed, the phone will take you back to the original screen with a button that says “Install Certificate”. There is no feedback that communicates the success or failure of the installation procedure.
    After this, you can install your app by scanning the provided QR code, by following the same procedure used to install the certificate.
    I hope this helps.

  • I just paid the $9,99 a month to have access to Photoshop and lightroom.  I am having trouble installing the programs and when I installed on Photoshop it said "trial"- this isn't suppose to be a trial but  a resource I pay for monthly for a year right?

    What turns the trial into the live software is signing in. If you sign in with the Adobe ID that has the subscription, the trial becomes live. First check your account on Adobe.com to make sure that the subscription is live.

  • Good day all, I am having trouble installing the latest version of Itunes on my desktop. I receive a message that sttates the older version not be removed and then the installation process is aborted. I am running windows

    Good day all, I am having trouble installing te latest version of Itunes on my computer.
    When it is installing I get a message that states "the older version of Itunes can not be removed."
    Then the installations process is aborted.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I'm having trouble installing the update for camera raw CR2 file reading in photoshop CS5.

    I've downloaded the update, but cannot seem to get it attached to the program, they're not getting embedded somehow.  Any ideas?

    You're not supposed to "embed" anything.  You need to install the Camera Raw 6.7.1 plug-in strictly according to the very specific instructions for your platform, Mac or Windows, given on the download page.
    Please note that later versions of Camera Raw (higher than 6.x) will not run on CS5.  Make sure your specific camera model is supported in 6.7.  "CR2" means nothing.  Every Canon camera model generates a different flavor of CR2 files.
    If your camera is one of the many newer models that was not supported in CS5, you will have to look for the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.1 or 8.2RC, download it, install it, and then run it in order to convert your raw Canon files to raw DNGs you can then open in ACR 6.7 hosted by CS5.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Has anyone else had trouble installing the new Apple TV update?

    I have tried several time to install the new software for my Apple TV, but each time I am getting a message saying the intall was unsuccessful.  I have 2 and it installed on the older Apple TV (non-HD version) but the newer set will not install the update.

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
    If when you choose restore you get a message that the device cannot be found, download the file below
    Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (2nd generation)
    Then hold down the option key while choosing restore and select the downloaded file when prompted.
    If you have the Apple TV 3, use the following file.

  • Having problems installing the 10.4.4 update

    Hello There,
    I just recently purchased a second hand Mac Mini from someone, and have both Mac OS 10.3 Panther and Mac OS 10.4 Tiger installation DVDs.
    Upon recieveing the Mac Mini, I formatted and installed 10.3 using the Panther DVD (Was the DVD that origionally came with the Mac, Panther). Once Panther was installed, I went ahead and booted off the Tiger DVD to update the Panther installation to Jaguar (the version, as of now, is 10.4.3).
    I have downloaded the OS X Tiger 10.4.4 updater (Delta, since i am only going from 10.4.3) and I am getting the following message when i try to run the updater:
    http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4999/picture23bs.jpg
    I just took a screenshot so you folks could see what I am getting. The Mac Mini is just over a Year old, Has 1GB RAM, 1.2Ghz G4 Processor and a DVD/CD-RW Combo drive in it. I should be able to upgrade this little guy to at least 10.4.4 right? I've heard of other Mac Mini owners upgrading to it...
    Any idea what's going on and how I can get 10.4.4 installed? I'm a newbie OS X user (my first mac) so my experience is very limited at this point - but I am willing to try anything to get this installed!
    Thanks for the help in advance!!
    - Evan

    Also,
    I am not seeing this 10.4.4 update in Software Updater. It's as if my OS is "not aloud" to upgrade to the latest version...

  • I am having trouble installing the Sims 3 on my macbook pro.

    When I try to install the Sims 3 base game, the installer comes up as it should... but when I try to proceed a message comes up saying the power pc application is no longer supported. My macbook runs on the OS x mavericks operating system, does this system not support the Sims? Someone help please!

    Either the installer or the game, or both, are written for Apple's pre-Intel machines. If I were you, I would contact Electronic Arts and see if there is an update to the version that you have.
