Help installing Xcode 2.5 on a Mac OS 10.4 system...

I am attempting to install Xcode 2.5 on a remote 10.4 laptop via ssh but it keeps failing. Originally it was failing because it wouldn't mount the image because the connection tends to be poor during the day so I copied the image to the laptop itself and mounted it.
When I attempt to install I get this:
1. sudo installer -verbose -pkg /private/tmp/amanda_install/tmp/XcodeTools.mpkg -target /
installer: Error the package path specified was invalid: '/private/tmp/amanda_install/tmp/XcodeTools.mpkg'.
Unlike later versions of the Xcode package which cannot be cd'd into, this is just a link to the Xcode Installer Launcher.app file.
lrwxr-xr-x 1 unknown unknown 39 Oct 26 2007 XcodeTools.mpkg -> Installers/Xcode Installer Launcher.app
Am I using the wrong tool for 10.4 (installer) or can this Xcode version only be installed from the GUI?

Actually. I think the Xcode Installer Launcher.app really is just for GUI only.
I found the actual XcodeTools.mpkg file in /Packages/XcodeTools.mpkg on the disk image. Only problem is that fails too. This is the dump log from the installer. Individual installation of these packages fails as well.
sudo installer -pkg /private/tmp/amanda_install/tmp/Packages/XcodeTools.mpkg -target / -verbose -lang en -dumplog

Unable to install Xcode 4.3.2 with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (on my Mac mini)

I tried to install Xcode 4.3.2 from application store, after clicking the Install button, a message displayed as "Installing". (but no progress bar appeared)
After about 30 minutes, (while installation was on progress), my Mac mini crashed and I had to turn off the power and restart it again.
Now, if I try to install the Xcode again, nothing happens after I click the install button except the Apple store login dialog pops in and ask to login.
(No folder named "Developer" has been created in my Application folder yet)

Developer folder was not created anywhere, I had checked.
But, latter I found an icon named "paused" in the 2nd page of my Launchpad. When clicking installating simply started and completed without any problems.

Need help installing new itunes version on older mac for nano syncing

I purchased a new nano and new music, but can't get the nano sync because desktop mac is requesting me to upgrade the iTunes version.
When I do, it says "This update requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later." How does this get done?

Which exact model computer? To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
https://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/6th_generation/getstarted/
Basically you're stuck unless you can upgrade OS. There's no other way to transfer music to the device.

I cannot install Java 6 on my i mac with mountain lionoperating system.

I recently updated from snow leopard to mountain lion os.
I cannot open the internet.Every time i open my internet i am prompted to install Je 6 runtime software which i think is not ain the ox mountainliopn?
How do i go about installing it Please help!

Go to the Utilities folder in your Applications folder and open Java Preferences. If it opens just fine, check the box labeled "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start Applications." (For security reasons, Java will be disabled after 30 days of not being used. If you enable Java here, I highly recommend you disable it in your web browser, as it has proven to be a serious security issue.) If not, you will be prompted to install Java. Click the Install button.

Error extracting mzm.tvbnoepi.pkg while installing Xcode from App Store on OS X Loin

Hi Folks. First post here.
I am trying to install Xcode from App Store on Mac OS X Loin and there is this error which I am facing.
Error extracting mzm.tvbnoepi.pkg
This is persistant. I have reinstalled entire OS and then I tried to install XCode Again. Then realised
something is wrong with XCode binary provided by App Store. Any solutions for this?

I have downloaded xcode from https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action and installed it. this fixed the issue.

Install Xcode on Mac OS X 10.7.2

Hi Everyone,
I have bought a Mac mini with Mac OS X 10.7.2. I am trying to install Xcode 4.2.1 on it through App store but the process stops as soon as it started with a message: "The Application cannot be downloaded The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again."
It's happening since saturday, so it's not a temporary problem as i initially thought.
Please help me with this.
Thanks in Advance.

OK, I'm running out of ideas. I've got two left!
1. Be careful with this. In the 'Debug' menu again, click on
Show Download folder...*
Click 'command-i' on your keyboard to open the 'Get Info' window. Look at the permissions at the bottom. They should be 'read & write' for your computer, and 'read' and 'read' for the other two. If the first one is 'read' only, that would stop any downloads. If so, change it (post back here for instructions if you don't know how to do that).
I wouldn't recommend messing with anything else in the Downloads folder, as I'm not sure what it might do, so if the permissions are OK just exit.
The second option's not very satisfying I'm afraid, but short of someone else joining in with any better ideas, go
2. Contact App Store support
http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/applications/
(*Note: this is the App store download folder, not your ordinary dowload folder. You can only get to it through the debug menu.)
