How do I fix my improper installation of Xcode 4.3?

I was forced to upgrade from Xcode 4.2 to 4.3 to allow development for iOS 5.1. Unfortunately, I've botched the upgrade process I think. I removed 4.2 by deleting the /Developer folder. I see this recommended a lot of places but has I believe made matters worse for me. I installed 4.3.1 and I can run Xcode and build my iphone app, but my system no longer knows where to find make or gcc etc. I can see where they are in the /Applications/Xcode.app folders but I want the system to set this up correctly for me. I don't know if it's done with symlinks or what. I saw in in this forum a suggestion for deleting Xcode 4.3 via the launch pad. I thought if I uninstall and reinstall it might set things right. But trying to uninstall via the launch pad only deleted it from the launch pad and did not remove Xcode from the applications folder. I can still run it from there. While in the launch pad I noticed that the remains of my 4.2 installation is still in the launch pad. Dashcode and other apps will still run (although I don't know where it's finding them) and of course Xcode from there crashes since it points at my old 4.2 installation that is deleted. How to set things to right? I don't know.

I can answer your first question. Run the xcode-select command from the Terminal to get the system to point to Xcode 4.3's new location. The following article has additional information:

How do I fix an improper migration; and hardware or migration issue?

I have been having screen freezes since I migrated my user account (incorrectly, I now discover) from my G5 to my brand-new, week-old precious ...er 13" Macbook Pro (2.66 processor). Doesn't matter what program I'm in and hardboot is the only way to regain any response (wince) -- the cursor just disappears, no trackpad or keyboard control. (no externals attached, no wireless either once.)
I ran the hardware test from the Applications disk: the short test reports no problems. The extended test froze after 8 minutes but it was on battery; I re-ran the extended test with it plugged in and it froze again on the first pass after 29 minutes. Had to hard-boot it both times; cancel/stop test button would not respond. I figured two freezes was an answer.
First assumption is I have a hardware issue and I need to take it back to the store.
However. When I migrated my user files, I did so without taking advantage of this forum's extensive discussions and with my head in the..er.. clouds about PowerPC to Intel issues. (I've seen several links and tips to the proper way of doing things, now, thanks. And sigh)
But I haven't seen precisely how one is supposed to fix doing it wrong. (Feel free to point me to such a place, my search-fu is not strong today.)
What I did wrong:
A. I just brought everything over using migration assistant; settings, software, everything. PowerPC-only software--heck, I might have even brought my old classic stuff in its folder. My third-party firewall and virus protection program (Intego Netbarrier) was apparently also PowerPC only, but it installed and appeared to be running.
B. I just had to play with my new toy before I migrated, so I did the apparently horrible mistake of creating a FancyNewUser account before migration.
C. When I migrated, I created a new account (UpdatedUser) for my old G5 account, settings, and information. I have not done anything to try to merge those two accounts and don't see the point; sometimes it's useful to have a separate admin account. (The migration itself, btw, was fantastically smooth.) But of course the applications are available to both accounts.
D. Oh, I did not repair permissions on the G5 before I migrated, either. *heavy sigh*
Minor note. I never upgraded the firmware on the G5 (it was having the 'sleep' issue) I just never put it to sleep. And it seems to me the laptop is freezing when I try to wake it from sleep. At any rate, the laptop was not freezing prior to the migration.
So.
1. Is there a way I (a middle-of-the-road user, not really comfy with terminal or command lines although I've used 'em) can determine if this is a hardware or an OS/software conflict issue?
2. Clearly I need to fix the migration. What's the best way to go about it? Should I
a) delete the UpdatedUser account entirely and start over? If so, am I right in thinking that I can:
aa. create a ThirdAccount on my laptop
ab. move the data I want to keep, like my photos and music and word processing files? (I think it was Kerry's tip: out of UpdatedUser's folders>a shared file>ThirdAccount's desktop>ThirdAccount's correct folders)
ac. delete the UpdatedUser account and
ad. perform fresh installs on any software I want on the laptop? (making sure, of course, that it will run on the laptop).
Uh... this skips the step of uninstalling the programs I shouldn't have migrated. I assume I can't run an uninstaller that might have come with these programs, since that, too, would have been compiled for the PowerPC. So what's the best way of getting rid of them?
(It occurs to me I could move the data to the FancyNewUser account without creating a third, but I actually like the idea of having a completely clean new account).
b) Turn the laptop over to the store, ask them to wipe it and reinstall everything so I can start from scratch?
c) some other option?
New machine
Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB Memory
320GB hard drive
NVIDIA graphics
I'm aware I'm asking a boatload of questions here. Thank you for any help you can offer.

Let's say you just start over and do an Erase & Install and then migrate using this guide:

This way you're not dragging over a lot of PPC junk.
I would reinstall all third party apps from their disks.

How do I fix - Error1321:The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader11.0\Readerwow_helper.exe.

I am trying to download the free Adobe Reader and I get the message Error1321:The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader11.0\Readerwow_helper.exe. I do not know how to fix this.

Hi Koncar,
Kindly try the steps mentioned below.
1) Download the Adobe Reader.msi from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.00/en_US/
2) Run the .MSI for Reader and when you get the error click on Retry and installation would go trough.

How do I fix error message "installer file is damaged"?

I have tried to download an application that uses Abode AIR. I always receive the same error message "Sorry, an error has occurred. The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author." I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe AIR and keep getting the same error message. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

This usually indicates that the certificate used to sign the AIR install has expired. Based on an archived discussion on this topic, you can search for SignatureTimeStamp in the signatures.xml file in the META-INF folder and, if it is not found, then the install has no signature time stamp and will not install after the certificate expires.
I'm having the same problem, but searching for SignatureTimeStamp is found. The search returns the following:
<xades:SignatureTimeStamp>
So, it would appear that there is a Time Stamp for the Signature in my case so the install should not fail. I would first check the above. Since you cannot install the app, you can try to open up the installation file with the .air extension as a zip file and drill down until you find META-INF and then drill down to find signatures.xml. Search for SignatureTimeStamp and see if it is found.
In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone else in this forum can explain why the install fails for me even though I can locate <xades: SignatureTimeStamp> in the signatures.xml file in the AIR install file.

How do I fix my windows installer package?

I can not install the latest iTunes 10.5. I keep getting an error message that says "There is a problem with the Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." Please help if you know how to fix this issue.

Are you still having trouble? Try this:
1. Open the control panel
2. Open Add/Remove programs (called "Programs and Features" in Windows 7)
3. Navigate to "Apple Software Update" in the list and click on it
4. Click on "Change" then select "Repair" (or just select the repair option in Windows 7)
Once you repair this, try running iTunes and the update again.
Fingers crossed!

You need to contact the developer/manufacturer directly to determine if their product is compatible w/Yosemite. It is not listed on their system requirement website:
Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
Mac OS X 10.7 Lion

I tried downloading Adoboe Photoshop CC and it says: Installation succeeded but a patch failed. How do I fix this?

Let me explain. I have an HP 2000 series laptop running Windows 7 Home premium with a 500gb hard drive. I currently have Adobe Photoshop CS4 on my computer but I uninstalled it first before downloading the trial of CC. I figured when my 30 day Photoshop CC trial was over I could go back and download CS4 with the CD again. I just wanted to try CC to see how different it was from CS4 and for some reason when I install it gets to 99% and when it finally reaches that 100% the error message comes up "Installation succeeded but patch failed." I have tried to hit the retry button a number of times and each time it still gives me the same error message. I tried restarting my laptop to see if this would fix the issue and it did not. What does this "patch failed" error mean and how do I fix this so I can download my adobe photshop CC trial?

Yeah for some odd reason out of no wear i am able to successfully download everything. Ill be honest i couldn't download everything properly while watching Netflix. ha Weird. But yea i just got Photoshop and flash to download fine! so thats awesome thank you for the tip i will be sure to add that next time i have a problem thank you!

Firefox update installs, but does not apprearon screen, or task manger yet is running what is going on and how does one fix it?

I installed the update Mozilla Firefox 28. It was suppose to launch upon completion. it did not appear on the monitor screen, nor the task manager, but was running; for when I attempted to install the older version again it, it said that Firefox was running and needed to be turned off.
I restarted the computer and tried opening Firefox, with the same results.
After restarting again, I attempted to reinstall the update, with the same results taking place.
I attempted to uninstall Firefox and install the new version. The same results took place.
In the past, I could install Firefox 27 update, only now I can't for the same thing takes place. Past a certain version (19), this event takes place, but 19 and older can install it with no problems.
I checked Firefox troubleshooting information. All was normal. I checked my firewall. Again, all was normal. Tried Firefox reset. Did not help. Tried with my firewall disabled. Did not solve the problem.
Ran a virus check (deep) no viruses. Checked my computer system. No errors.
I can install updates for my other programs, even install new programs; just not Firefox.
What is going on and how does one fix it.

Hi Amseeking,
Thank you for your question. From your description, you tried to install the 28 update from a version 19 installation. Did you install a fresh install of 28 successfully? Where the name of the file is"Firefox Setup Stub 28.exe"? This is what is sound like happened. When going to about Firefox and searching for updates it installs over the current installation. However if Firefox was already running, there are more than one installation.
Updating from version 19 to 28 would not be a problem. However the user data from your previous version would have to be imported to the new installation if you have more than one install on that computer.
An easy way to tell is to search for Firefox in the Start menu to see if more than one icon shows up in the search results.
I hope this helps.

I get the same issue while installing Sharepoint on Win 7. I check out error logs and get to know it's SQL Server Express issue.

Then I start my SQL Express instance and run Sharepoint setup to repair. However I got this error again in DBWrapLog:

Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

You will need to do a DFU restore by holding the home and power buttons down (while the device is plugged in to your computer) until the device's screen goes black and as soon as the screen goes black, count down from 3 and release the power/sleep button, but keep holding down the home button. Then, iTunes will say the iPod needs to be restored. The restore process will take some time and even though the iPod may appear to be frozen, don't interrupt the restore.

Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.
