How do i get an installation alert to go away?

I want to update. there is a installation alert stating "in order to continue installation, please close the following application: itunes"
i do not have itunes opened. I opended it then closed it. the alert will not go away. there are no icons in the upper left corner to help close this.
any ideas?

Hi Kappy,
Just tried this however the Installer isn't in the list of items I can close?
Itunes itself is already closed?

  • My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message telling me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message?

    My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message that is informing me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message.

    I have been dealing with this problem since upgrading to ios 6.  I have an old ipod touch that is still running ios 5.? that backs up daily with no problem whatsoever.  I have attemped every solution posted on these help boards (i.e. deleting accounts, turning off all apps from back-up, restarting device, changing routers, attempting back-ups through different wifi spots) sometimes one or a combination of these band-aid fixes will work for a day or two, then suddenly the ipad (version 3) will simply stop backing up, and I will spend hours of frustration going through all the tedious fixes.  All the while my old ipod touch running ios 5 backs up daily with no problem whatsoever.  I have called Apple support and they seemed surprised that this is a problem and offer no real solution whatsoever.
    Until Apple gets their head out of the sand on this one, and actually fixes the obvious bug that exists is ios 6 this problem will continue and will not be resolved.

  • I already own iWork, and do not want to have to pay for it again,  How do I get the installer using my existing licence

    I already own iWork, and do not want to have to pay for it again,  How do I get the installer using my existing licence.  It will not migrate from one computer to another, perhaps because of the recent system upgrade.

    How did you pay for it?
    Through the Mac App Store or as alicence for a DL?

    How do I get the brightness icon to go away on my MacBook?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • How do I get a movie to play right away on my iPad while it's downloading

    How do I get a movie to play right away on my iPad while it's downloading

    I have this same problem.  On the photo tab I used to have it checked for everything to sync.  But it gets stuck on syncing the photos and doesnt complete.  The events on my Mac stopped syncing to other devices as soon as I got a new ipad air.  The events that were on iphoto at that time are the last to show on all other devices.  When I am in photo tab i cant even select the events that havent synced because they are showing as a choice.  But they are an event in iphoto on the Mac.  Frustrated.

  • How do I get an Installation Disc for Lion after I already installed it.

    I am furious, with myself and Apple.... I started this journey of upgrading to Lion soley because I needed to increase the capacity of the HD on my early 2008 MBP. I saw that it was much easier with Lion, I didn't see or understand the part about only on brand new computers...
    I have already upgraded the HD once before and had NO PROBLEMS... Time Machine back up and all that.
    I am only a Mac user for 3 years... I love it... But some preconceptions die hard...
    LIKE ....WHY CAN'T I MAKE A DVD OF MY INSTALL DISC AFTER THE INITIAL INSTALLATION OF LION?????? ESPECIALLY SINCE I DIDN"T GET ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE???
    Yea, I didn't read the fine print, I had to make one at the time of installation.... I didn't know that I wouldn't be given the chance again????
    Darn Darn Darn.... I only upgraded as a step along the path of upgrading the Hard Drive.... NOW I CAN"T WITHOUT MAJOR HEADACHES.... Grrrrrr
    LOL
    So, Apple... if you are gonna distribute your OS this way... fine... but jeez, how about making it so we can get an installation disc after we missed the chance on initial installation???
    What do I do?

    Thank you... I will take your advice and relax...
    OK will do.
    As you can tell, I totally disagree with apple on this.... It should be a DEFAULT that the ability to make a DVD start up disc is always there... not the other way around.
    I have spent hours on this upgrade... upgrading the Snow Leopard, upgrading to Lion, Installing new hardware, re-installing new hardware, re-installing the old hardware...
    Some people, like myself, have the ability to DIY, but I don't have the incredible highly detailed inside knowledge that I apparently have to possess...
    Thanx

  • How can I get another Installation Disc (DVD) for my CS5 Application

    I lost one of my DVD installation discs from my CS5 set.  I called Adobe and they said it was an older version and they don't have a link for me.  Does anyone know how I can get ahold of the CS5 Application disc???

    Welcome to the forum.
    Adobe used to offer replacement discs for a minor charge.
    However, that was usually for ONLY the current version - nothing available before. Once a version passed into history, the replacement discs were history too.
    With the advent of Ps CC, I am not even sure if the Ps CS 6 replacement dics would be available now.
    I would contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support), and inquire.
    Good luck,

MAC shop, couldn't fix, said I should try install op system 4 Powerbook G4-dont have discs- can I get them? or other solution? Am using OS 10.4.11- I think I need Tiger?  Thanks for any help

    Apple no longer has them.
    Tiger Requirements...
    To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
        * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
        * Built-in FireWire
        * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
        * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
        * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools  (I recommend 20GB minimum)

  • TS4471 Aperture APP started installing after I purchased it then stopped. How do I get the installation to complete?

    My Aperture APP stopped installing. How do I get it to complete the installation?

    Frank,
    I found the Aperture APP icon in the appliction folder. When I click on it, an icon opens on the bar at the bottom of the screen and the application opens and is workable. However, when I finish working with my photo editing, and close the application, the bar icon desapears and I need to to back to the application folder to click the icon there to open the application again.
    I know you suggested I delete the app from the folder, reboot, and reinstall. But I'm embarassed to say that I don't know how to proceed with the deletion.
    Can you help?
    Thanks again,

  • Howdy all, anyone know how to not get a text alert while on a call ?

    Does anyone know how to set the iphone 4GS so that you don't get a text alert during calls? But when your not on a call the text alerts sound. Also can you use you music as a ringtone or caller id? Seems like every phone can do these options but iphones.

    There's no phone setting to silence alerts during phone calls.  You can suggest this to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
