☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

FF downloaded some update and now I get error message saying update cannot be installed until I get rid of extra FF copies on computer-but I DON"T have any extra copies. I cannot even uninstall the only FF I now have!

I have a Toshiba laptop, Windows & Home Premium Edition operating system. I had FF 3.6.3 installed and up until 6:00 today it was sort of working properly. I find out later that my huasband cannot even open the browser, as every time he does, a dialog box opens up whcih says "UPdate cannot be installed. Please make sure no other copies of FF are running on computer, then restart FF to try again." But I do not have any other copies of FF. I really do not like it when FF auto installs stuff without my permission. Many times this stuff is downloaded and installed, only to raise havoc with my computer.

Try a smc reset:

JDeveloper 11.1.2.1.0 : The JUnit Integration update cannot be installed

Hi.
When trying to install "JUnit Integration 11.1.2.1.38.60.81" I got this message:
"The JUnit Integration update cannot be installed because it has a required licence agreement that could not be read. Click Back to remove this update."
I want to install from a local file junit_bundle.zip.
Thanks for help
Stefan Pongratz

Stefan, I guess you have to have an internet connection if you want to install it from the local junit_bundle.zip. During the install it loads the licence from the web. If it can't access the file you get the error you see.
You can try to download the licence into the same directory where you have stored the bundle, but I'm not sure jdev looks for it there.

I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading and restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version

I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading any restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version 6.0.3, which the update was for. Does this mean that the update is iinstalled and the message was incorrect?

Good timing! Oh well, at least you shouldn't have to update again for a while. It will be nice kickstarting your Mac with the very latest System Update knowing any hiccups from 10.8.2 would have been ironed out if they were going to affect your workflow at all.

Java update cannot be installed..

I'm having a problem and can't seem to find anyone else with the same issue. Hopefully, someone can point out what the problem is.
I'm trying to silent install jre-1_5_0_02-windows-i586-p.exe with instructions I found here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/silent.html
In my batch file I'm using the following syntax:
Start /w C:\Drivers\Software\Java\jre-1_5_0_02-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 NETSCAPE6=1 MOZILLA=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0 WEBSTARTICON=0"During the install process I receive this error:
Java update cannot be installed on this machine because the directory you have chosen to install is locked.
Please close and browser or application that is using the directory you have chosen for installation.If I hit the 'RETRY' button it continues installation just fine. Any ideas what is causing this error?
As a long shot I removed the JAVAUPDATE=0 but, it still had the same problem.
TIA

I got the same problem when I was just doing a regular install. After struggling for a few days and following the idea that something else must be using an older JVM, I tried this:
I closed all the non-native windows applications. Some of these were running in the background. The culprit was Google desktop search!!
Once I closed google (by right clicking the icon and exit-ing), the Java installation process went smoothly.
I think this concept would work for you. It is either google desktop or some other application that is running in the background that is using an older JVM.

JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 : The JUnit Integration update cannot be installed

Using JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 when trying to install "JUnit Integration 11.1.1.6.38.61.92" I got this message:

Java Update Cannot be installed, directory locked

When attempting to install J2SE SDK 1.5.0 on my WINNT4 SP6a sustem,
it appears to almost complete, and then, when Finishing Installation, shows
a Retry/Cancel window saying, "Java Update cannot be installed on this machine
because the directory your have chosen is locked. Please close any browsers or
applications that are using the directory you chose for installation", or words very
close to those quoted. Nothing else is running. I rebooted the machine prior to
beginning the install.

I too have the same error after an systray auto update came up and I said yes to install v5.0 or something, and said the above locked message, I closed all apps, and pressed retry, didn't install.
I am running winxp with ALL latest windowsupdate patches.
At least microsoft installers don't have any weird problems like this, and I now dont know how to reinstall it, because it appeared from my system tray as an update notification.

OS X 10.8.1 update cannot be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.

HI
I had installed mountain lion on my MBP 13" early 2012, but it has lots of issue, when i tryed to up date to 10.8.1 it shows the error "OS X update cannot be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update"
if i run the software update nothis is showing, current os version is 10.8

This did not work for me.
Note, that at one point the Apple developer knew exactly what the problem was and decided not to let us know. If we were tole what the problem was we woud have an idea of how to proceed.

I am trying to install iOS 7.0.2 on my iPhone 4 and I'm getting a message stating it cannot be installed because it requires 2.9GB of storage.

Alert - Mac OS Update cannot be installed on this computer

My second computer is a MacBook Pro (PPC) OS 10.4.8, 2 GB RAM. When I try to install update 10.4.10 I get the alert: "Mac OS Update Combined (Power PC)cannot be installed on this computer." Why not?
Thanks for any help.

My second computer is a MacBook Pro (PPC)
If the computer is a MacBook Pro, then it is not PPC, and needs the Intel version of the update

OSX's Software Update will get the correct version.

9.2.2 Update "cannot be installed over this localized copy..."

My Pismo G3 PowerBook came with OS 9.0.4 disks, which I have used to do a clean install. (The reason why is a long story.) Then I downloaded 9.1, 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 updates in the same session from apple.com. The 9.1 and 9.2.1 updates have been installed successfully. Now the 9.2.2 update produces an error message: "This software cannot be installed over this localized copy of Mac OS".
I plan to install OSX 10.2.8 as well as having Classic once I get past this barrier, but how do I get any further?
PowerBook Mac OS 9.2.x G3 Pismo

Yes, Don, I had a similar thought about US English vs International English after I posted the question, based on a recent similar problem arising while re-installing AppleWorks 6.2.8 on a friend's computer. Last night (in Australia) I made sure that I downloaded the International English version onto my G4 laptop. After one faulty CD burn, OS 9.2.2 is now installed on the Pismo. This may be the first time ever that I have actually had 9.2.2 on the Pismo in around 5 years of ownership: previously I had given up the issue as too hard. So I am very happy and thank you for your confirmation of the approach.
As for the ZI prefix: well I never! Not in at those 5 years of ownership have I worked out or read or heard what ZI stands for! Your advice opens up a whole new world of understanding!
Another well deserved 10 points to the OS9-meister!

That message is returned when the language version of
the download updater does not match the language of
the installed version of OS 9. The download updater
must match in order for it to run.
Typically this happens when trying to use the North
American English version of the update on top of an
International English version of the OS, or vice
versa.
If you're not sure which language version you have on
the machine now, open About This Computer (top of
Apple menu when Finder is active). Check the info
line labelled "Version:" - the language version is
indicated on that line. For example, if the info on
that line is something like "Mac OS (Z1) 9.2.1", the
"(Z1)" portion indicates it is International English;
other languages have other codes (D = German, E =
Spanish, etc.). If there is no code, it is North
American English.

Software update cannot find installed App's in sub-folder

Hi All,
I have same kind of problem - I created folder called "iLife' 11" and moved there all App's which belong to this package. As soon as I did this Software Update cannot find anything. For example Apple released iPhoto' 11 (9.1.1) update and Software Update did not find it until I moved it back to "Applications".
BTW I have same problem with Adobe App's. Adobe update did not see Photoshop which has been moved to sub-folder.
My question is DO I have any chance to put App's to sub-folder and get them automatically updated by Software update? IF so, what should I do?

All sub-folders located in /Applications/ not in /Users/username/Applications. Actually /Users/username/Applications/ is empty on my mac.
What I trying to have is sub-folder (for example called Photo where I will have all applications for working with images (Photoshop, Nikon Scan, SilverFast and so on) in one locations or iLife' 11.
I took this idea from folder "Utilities" I can put App there and it worked and updated without any problems.
As far as I understand this problem (from Unix point of view) is a PATH problems. Software Update cannot find App in the folder which not listed in PATH.
If I create link (allies) for application in /Applications/ folder it will updated.
