Help... having an installer problem!!!

Ok i just purchased a 3rd party Garmin gps unit, I had to download the mac version of their software(disk only came pc), after I downloaded - I opened the .dmg image only to find the install icon was a blank paper icon(installer would not load when double clicked)... I copied the .dmg image to another mac, where the installation seeming worked perfect.
I have since used my install disc in order to repair my HD, and followed by repairing permissions.
- Still no luck.
I figured i might upgrade to 10.4.10 so I downloaded it, and when I went to install I got the same blank paper icon as before?
What is wrong with my computer/ why is it not allowing me to install these software items?

Sounds like a bad preference file. Move the com.apple.installer.plist file out of /username/Library/Preferences/ to your Desktop. Now, mount the image. If that works, problem solved. If not, create a new admin user account, log into it, and try to mount the image. If it works, then you'll have to resolve the conflict within the original account. Report back with the results.

  • NEED HELP HAVING SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH X-FI PLATI

    My sound card is only about 2-3 weeks old and was running fine uptill about a few days ago then it started having some problems the first was it wouldn't play audio in windows media player movie or music, it worked fine using other programs to play movies or music. Another problem I'm gettin is that the volume will be much lower than it should and this doesn't matter what program I use this does go away sometimes although I still dont know what causes it. I'm also getting intermittent sound problems in BF2 like not hearing sound when I switch to rear view which didn't happen before. I've tried trouble shooting it myself but to no avail. I tried installing it on my other hard dri've which is clean but even though I did a full installation it won't even recognize the card and says there is a prolem with the drivers. I can't understand why my sound card won't work on my second hard dri've and why I am having problems with it on my first. If anyone could help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated. By the way I have a DFI LanParty NF4 Sli-DR, AMD Atholon 64 3000+, XFX 6800GS PCI-Express 256MB, 2GB OCZ Gold Dual Channel DDR 400,Ultra 500watt PSU, Logitech Z-5500 5. Speakers. My first hard dri've is a Western Digital Caviar SE6 SATA 2 and my second hard dri've is a Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 SATA 2, they are both 250GB and are seperate they aren't connected to my motherboard or even on at the same time.Message Edited by RogueChaos on 05-3-2006 05:05 PM

  • How do I get Adobe to help with an installation problem?

    I removed Windows Vista, and installed XP instead. Then tried to install CS3 using the file I downloaded from Adobe 2 years ago. It installed Acrobat, but the other components (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) failed with “Component not installed.” No error message. Never even asked for my serial number.
    Phoned Adobe support on Sunday: closed.
    Phoned again on Monday. Told to run CSClean. Did not solve problem. Phoned back. Swapped around departments (2 hours total on hold.) Promised they would email a link to download the installation file again. No email sent.
    Phoned again Tuesday. More hours on hold. More promised link. Never sent.
    Phoned again Wednesday. More hours on hold. Finally given a zip file link. Downloaded it 3 times, using different software (browser, FTP client.) I received the exact number of bytes on Adobe’s server, but the file is “not a valid archive” — rejected both by Windows itself and by WinZip.
    We’ve now lost 3 days work, and cancelled clients for Thurs as well.
    Utterly frustrated! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET ADOBE TO HELP???

    Any way I can fix this problem?
    I have a Windows Vista x32, Service Pack 2. If you need any more info just let me know.

    If you are trying to run CS6 you might as well accept the fact that 32 bit OS is a thing of the past.  It will run the program, but you just will not get the expected features of the program.
    Advice now is you need a 64 bit OS, min. 8 gig of RAM, and a reasonably good graphics card with 1 g VRAM. 

  • Can anyone help? Itunes installation problem with my ipod shuffle.

    Hello
    I've just bought an ipod shuffle and to get it up and running I need to install itunes 10 (I have a mac with itunes 9) . My computer won't allow me to do this, everytime I click on the itunes icon it says 'Couldn't open "Install iTunes.pkg". This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5.
    Thanks

    iTunes version 10 is not compatible with Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.x).  You'll need to upgrade your system to Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) before you can install this version of iTunes, which is required for you to be able to sync and use your Shuffle.
    You can still purchase Leopard from different stores online.

  • Can you help solve this installation problem?

    I have a separate 120GB hard drive and want to store & load my Final Cut Pro software on here to lighten the load on my macbook pro. It won't let me use the separate hard drive as the start up drive to load FC pro. IS there a way I can change this? Is it something to do with partitioning it in Disk Utility?
    Many thanks..

    The applications NEED to be installed onto the drive that contains the operating system. There is no way about this. Many system resources are installed throughout the OS. So you can install the APPS on your main drive, but the EXTRA stuff, like audio content, and Motion content, on the external.
    Need to do a CUSTOM install to do that.

    I need advise and help with this problem .
    First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
    At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
    In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
    Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
    trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
    Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
    ''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
    With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
    I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
    Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

    Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
    To remove it, see:

    Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

  • Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how

    Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem: 
    Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
    When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
    If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
    I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
    Thanks for your help

    Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

  • HI there, am having a big problem updating mu iphone due to me forgetting my password, can you tell me how to retrieve it. It seems like i have one apple id for downloads  and a different one for updates. Can you help ps.?

    Hi There
    Am having a big problem updating my iphone 4 Apps, due to a problem with my password for my apple id. But it seems that i have two different ids, one for the updates and another for the downloads. I am not able to retrieve my Id password for updating my Apps. Can you help me ps?
    Thank you

    What program did you use to fix the internal hard drive? What repairs did it report making? More crucially, if repairs were reported, did you re-run the utility until it reported no problems found? It's possible for one set of problems with a drive to mask others.
    If you have about 5GB or so free space on the internal hard drive, you can use your OS X Install disc to perform an Archive and Install to recover from the failed Software Update. When the computer restarts, download and run the OS X Update Combo 10.4.11 (Universal). When the Mac restarts after that, run Software Update. During all this, make sure nothing interrupts or shuts down the Mac! Note that the first start after each of these updates will take significantly longer than subsequent starts, so be very patient.
    How did you back up your internal drive to the external one? Did you just drag things over in the Finder, or did you use a utility such as SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner? Does the external HD show up as a bootable volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk, or using Startup Manager?

    Hi melbernai - not sure if you've solved this problem yet. I had the exact same problem recently with my 2nd Gen iPod Nano. I solved it yesterday by simply updating iTunes to the most recent version, after which I could get rid of the register screen. The only other thing I needed to do to add my custom playlists was select "Manually manage music" on the screen for my iPod, since it had been in an automatic synching mode since the problem occurred.

    You are right, Adobe does not support CS5 because it is no longer sold.
    Simply download the trial version of CS5 from this Adobe web site and input your serial number.
