I can longer install software packages using ARD.

I can no longer install software packages to other computers on my local network. I used to do this frequently to four other computers on my network, but no it just gets stuck on "Waiting for item." status. I cannot figure out how to fix this. I have tried all I know: rebooting everything, etc...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you can still control and observe these computers, but also can't copy files to them, then this thread might help - the solution by Scooter Magrooter is the best.

Can I install Lion Server using ARD?

I've got a 2008 xserve I'd like to update to Lion Server (from 10.6.8 server). Can I successfully install it using ARD or is it going to hang at some point without ARD access waiting for some kind of input to proceed with the installation?
Thanks
Eric

Yes. You need to buy Leon and Server via AppStore. Think twice before click [buy app]... read posts on this group.

Installed Aperture update, now I can't print - says I need to install software to use this printer.

I prepare a photo in Aperture and send to the printer. It appears to go through but I get the following error "You need to install software to use this printer. To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer." Even though the printer has worked fine for two years up until today. I re-downloaded the driver from Epson, installed and still the same thing.

I use an Epson 3880. After upgrading to Lion, I had to upgrade/re-install the Epson printer drivers. All work now.
There was a glitch in the installation, but I can't remember right now.
OP: did you get the newest drivers -- for Mountain Lion? did you uninstall the Epson 3880 before re-installing with the newest drivers? have you rebooted?

How can I install multiple packages in one time?

I use Software Update on this PowerBook to download, keep the packages and install onto my 3 Mac's.
The question is how can I install multiple packages (update stuff) in one time (as we can do with Remote Desktop)? Just to save my time from retarting the machines for every single (required) packages.
Many thanks, and happy new year.

Happy New Year Ekapon,
Instead of downloading the packages in advance,
check (Software Update default) every software you need, then choose "Install & Keep Package" from the Install menu.
This will install everything without needing to update prebindings and restart between each installation.

Can I install software on a bootable sd card?

I am a professional photographer who often uses my MacBook Pro on location to review, edit, caption and upload images. In the event of a hard drive crash, I would like to make a bootable SD card, and have found very good instructions on how to do this. My question is: can I install software (such as PhotoShop and Photo Mechanic) on this SD card to allow me to operate in an emergency? If so how do I do this? Thanks.

How can i install software iOS 4.3.

how can i install software iOS 4.3.

You cannot.
You can only update to the latest version of iOS available and supported by your device.

I can't install software Update for iOS 7.1.1. for iPad because I was forgot my password. How I can change my password?

These are user to user forums. Apple does not participate here and does not respond to posts. For the record, since the iPad 2 supports iOS 8 any attempt to update the iPad 2 will result in an update to 8.1. Apple only supports updating to the latest version of the operating system that the device supports.

For installing software packages, long delay in recognizing startup disk

I have found that any time I install software using an installer package (e.g. flip4mac) on my iMac, there is a long delay before my startup disk is recognized as a valid installation location. All of the other drives are evaluated immediately, but I'd say it's about 20 seconds before I get the option of my startup disk (green arrow pointing down at a picture of a hard drive).
Does anyone know what is causing this and how I might alleviate the problem? It's annoying, and I wonder if it's a sign of some deeper problem.
I do have a bootcamp partition that I rarely use, and I have an external USB drive that I use for time machine backups.

The more external storage devices you have connected to your computer the longer it's going to take to for your computer to evaluate which volumes it can install on. Short of dismounting the external HD's first this is the price you will be paying for all the external devices. BTW I'm in the same boat, I have 3 EHD's daisy chained together using FW 800.

Officejet Pro 8620, Can't Install Software on Win 7 64-bit

Every time I try to install the HP software, it goes through Step 1 of 6, then fails. I get the following error message:
I have tried installing from the disc as well as the downloaded version of the software from hp.com. I seem to be able to install the printer using whatever generic drivers Windows has, but I would like to be able to get all the productivity I paid for using the software suite. Any ideas?

Hello @blueyedsoul,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into problems installing your HP Officejet 8620 onto your computer running the Windows 7 64bit. When you attempt to install it goes through to step 6 and fails and you get an error message '2147467259'.
To resolve the installation issue, you will need to download the newest version of your HP product software, begin software installation, and then download and install a software patch to complete the installation.
Step one: Download the software
Follow these steps to download the newest version of your HP product software.
1.Disconnect the USB cable from both the product and the computer (if you already connected it).
2.Turn the product on.
3.Browse to the Get Software and Drivers page: Get Software and Drivers
4.Check the instructions on the page, and then click the Plus sign (+) next to the correct heading for additional instructions:
If prompted to enter your product in the window.
1.Type your product number in the window.
2.Click Next. If necessary click your model in a list of similar products.
3.Click Software and Driver Downloads.
4.Click the drop-down arrow, and then click your operating system.
5.Continue to the next step.
If prompted to select your operating system.
1.Click the drop-down arrow, and then click your operating system.
2.Click Next. If necessary click your model in a list of similar products.
3.Continue to the next step.
4.Click the Plus sign next to Driver, and then click the driver that you want to download.
5.Click More Info, and then read through the minimum system requirements and additional instructions. You can also click View directions for complete download instructions.
6.Click Download. This option allows you to install the software at any time after the download completes.
7.Click Save, and then browse to the location on your computer where you want to save the file.
8.Click Save. The software downloads to your computer.
Hint: Make a note of the place that you saved the file, in case you want to install it at a later time.
Step two: Install the software
1.When the download is complete and you are ready to install the files, click Open Folder, and then click the downloaded file. The file name ends in .exe.
NOTE:If you closed the Download Complete screen, browse to the folder where you saved the .exe file, and then click it.
2.You can accept the default place to save the files. Click Next, and then wait while the installer extracts the files to prepare for installation.
3.When the Install Wizard starts, follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
You will encounter the installation failure again, but this is expected. If there is a Microsoft dialog box named The HP Installer has stopped working, click Close the program.
Step three: Download and install a software patch
Follow these steps to download and install an HP software patch.
NOTE:The software patch is supported in Microsoft Windows Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit) operating systems.
1.Click here to download the software patch.. A File Download window opens.
2.Choose one of the following options to download the patch to the computer.
3.If you want to install the patch on the computer immediately, click Run.
4.If you want to install the patch at a later time, click Save, select a destination on the computer for the file to save, and then click Save. When the download is complete, click the downloaded file.
5.An HP AMD Processor Patch dialog box displays with the option to change the default path to extract the files.
The default path is the folder to the HP product software package you tried to install. For example, C:\Usersl\manu\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS29EF.
If the path shown is not the one that you expected, or if you want a different location for the installation files than the default location, uncheck Default Path, and then click the Browse button. Highlight the newest folder, and then click OK to continue.
6.After the patch has completed, the HP product software will start installing again.
7.When the Windows Security dialog box opens, with the message: Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software, click Install this driver software anyway.
8.Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Please complete the steps listed above, are you now able to install the software?
I hope to hear from you soon.

Running 5.5 U2e and VUM will no longer download software packages from patch source?

We had a vSphere 5.5 cluster configured for us by a 3rd-party through Dell as part of our purchase agreement. We are running vCenter Server 5.5 U2e on Windows 2012 R2 as a physical host. It does run Update Manager. In my most recent check today, Update Manager will scan a host and report patches that are needed. In this case we're at 5.5.0 Build 2456374 on our ESXi hosts. Update Manager detects 5 missing patches. After I put the host in maintenance mode, I remediate, select the patch group, and proceed through the screens. It starts its process and goes from 0% to 16% to 25% then sits there for about 1–3 minutes, then goes to 90%, 91%, and errors out saying:
"Cannot download software packages from patch source. Check the events and the Update Manager log for download details."
Multiple strange things:
This server was updating just fine a few months back when some previous patches were released.
It can see the internet just fine. No firewall issues.
Our failover site on the same network, but in a different location in the city is able to update just fine. Same hardware, network, and software versions.
Any ideas on where to look or what to try? I had gone ahead and update from vCenter Server 5.5 U2b to U2e (along with a VUM reinstall) hoping that would fix it, but it did not. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because we're not VMware experts and thought everything was set up correctly by the vendor. We were given a small amount of knowledge transfer, but nothing that would allow us to troubleshoot this.
The Update Manager config listed in vCenter Server points to just three sources, that look to be the default from hostupdate.vmware.com and vapp-updates.vmware.com. None of the settings have been changed from the initial install and configuration that were working at one point in the last few months (when I last patched the hosts to 2456374).
Looking through the vmware-vum-server-log4cpp.log I see these failures:

Well, apparently this patch / vib was pulled after release, based on issues with "VMware NSX for vSphere 6.x or Cisco Nexus 1000v" as seen in KB2116370: VMware KB: After upgrading to VMware ESXi 5.5 Patch Release ESXi550-201504002, virtual machines using VMware NSX for…
Ok, that's cool. But here's my question then. Why is Update Manager still reporting that it's an available patch for our ESXi hosts? I'm new to this and am just trying to get an understanding to avoid confusion like this in the future.
[UPDATE]
Looks like this was the problem. VMwareCares Twitter account confirmed that Update Manager needed a new repository query to grab the new metadata. After rescanning the ESXi host again, the number of available patches dropped from 5 to 1. I'm now successfully patching the ESXi hosts through Update Manager once again. Crisis avoided.

I can longer install software packages using ARD.
