Launch the Terminal app, copy & paste this command into the window that pops up, and hit the return key. At the Password: prompt, carefully enter your admin password, since nothing shows up on the screen, and hit the return key.
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/
Then, copy & paste these next two, one at time, into the window and hit the return key after each:
sudo chmod a+rx /Volumes/*
killall Finder
Quit the Terminal app and try installing again.

Trie to install new garpahic FW update on my HD2400XT but says dont need it
Hi
I read there was an firmware update for the HD 2400 XT graphic card, from Apple see below
About iMac Graphics FW Update 1.0.2
This update is for iMac computers with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro or ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT graphics card installed, running Mac OS X 10.5.2 or later.
"It updates the graphics card firmware on the ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro or ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT graphics card in the iMac to improve system stability"
Here is the snapshot from my system profiler
"ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT:
Chipset Model: ATI,RadeonHD2400
Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 128 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x94c8
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-B2250A-207
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.207"
I tried to run it, but then says, your computer does not require this update?
why is this? why wont it install?
cheersUnderstand what your saying but in this case I don't think you're right. The installer log gives the following message:
Installer[1299]: Package Authoring Warning: Package reference does not include required hash for package id auto.
Also I have yet to hear of anyone being able to install this update. Seems to me that if they are going to post it there probably ought to be some computers out there that actually need it. -

I backup my iphone onto itunes on my laptop. Recently I got a new laptop, so that counts at two itunes locations.
Unfortunately this new laptop was faulty and had to be set up again from scratch.
Apple now says that's three itunes locations when in fact it's two.
How can I get this changed back to two locations?If by locations you mean "authorized computers" then one of your computers (apparently the new laptop) may be using multiple authorizations.
To check on this and correct see here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1206 -
i have tried to install new update on iphone 5 and now it wont turn on when i plug it in the charger it just shows i need to connect to itunes.
Given the state your device is in you have already erased your old stuff. You have an image on the screen that says, "Connect to iTunes." That's what the image means. So you will need iTunes on your computer.

So I just bought a used MacBook from Amazon with OSX 10.5.8. I am trying to install new software and operating system, but I don't have the passwords to the Users set up in the computer. What do I do?
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart. -
I am trying to install new software on my Imac and my keychain asks for my password, I type it in, it says it is wrong, I do it again, wrong, it gives me a hint, same one I have been using, wrong again, so I cannot get the new soft ware to download, how do I get my passwork on the keychain to work or how do I change it?
What model iMac and what version of the Mac OS is installed? "About this Mac" from the Apple menu is a good place to start.

hie there Actually um trying to update new iOS 7 for my iphone 4 but when i press the button to install new software suddenly it appears why " iOs 7 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet " even my phone is already connected to net
I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback. -
