GippieHypsy:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Make sure you have a good backup of your stuff. The try the following procedures:
1. Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
2. Repair Disk Permissions in Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
3. Download and install Mac OS X Update Combo 10.2.8
4. Repair Disk Permissions as previously.
Please post back with an update or with further questions or comments.
Cheers

  • Can't download any new application updates

    When I try to update any of my applications, it begins to download, then a pop up says "Unable to Download Application" and that I will be able to download it when I log in to the iTunes Store on my computer. Well I've tried downloading the updates on my computer and it also doesn't work. A pop up comes up saying that there were errors that occurred. Basically, I haven't been able to download any new applications in a few months. I was waiting for the next update, hoping it would fix it, but it didn't. Does anyone else have these problems? What can I do?

    Basically, none; if desired, you can fill out and submit this form, but will probably be told to call.

  • Windows 2003 ..can't install any CS4 applications

    I use Windows 2003 as my workstation and for the past two days I've been trying to install trial CS4 applications but with no luck.
    I've been using CS3 for a long time now without issues, installs perfectly using Application Verifier. I uninstalled CS3 before attempting CS4 installation.
    I tried many things but no matter what I do it always gets to 90% on "checking system profile", then "Loading Setup" splash screen pops up for few seconds but than goes away and "checking system profile" is still there at 90% and never goes any further. I can see it using a bit of CPU and memory usage changes while it's there but it never goes any further.
    I tried uninstalling all Adobe apps, except for Lightroom as I'm a little nervous about losing things, but it didn't help. I used both CS3 and CS4 cleanup scripts. I used two different admin accounts, disabled antivirus but nothing.
    Log file doesn't show any errors as far as why the installation stops.
    I tried standalone versions of Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4, they both show Loading Setup panel for few seconds but than setup.exe crashes. I tried faking WinXP SP2 and SP3 with application verifier but it makes no difference.
    I'm out of ideas, formatting the system is really not an option, I have too many things.
    My setup:
    OS: Win 2003 Std
    CPU: Core2Quad Q6600
    RAM: 4 GB
    HD: WD VelociRaptor
    Video: GForce 6600GT

    Actually Windows 2003 Server is not basically Windows XP on steroids and similarly, Windows 2008 Server is not basically Windows Vista on steroids. There are some significant differences between the desktop and server versions of Windows these days, especially related to security in terms of how applications are installed and what they can do. I learned about this the hard way when I tried to setup a new system with Windows 2003 Server instead of Windows XP Pro back in 2003 or so (primarily to get AppleTalk and MacOS file system compatibility services). Even then many applications and pieces of system software just wouldn't install.
    Back to Adobe, we specifically have
    not tested the CS4 suite or any of its application (other than InDesign Server 6) on any of the server versions of Windows. We don't claim compatibilty of same with CS4 in any of the system requirements. You will get any support this from Adobe Technical Support.

  • I can't install any apps, showed error of installing

    Sir,
    Unable to install any application in my Q5. It shows installation error after download. Earlier it was easily installed. Please help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. If this fails, you can attempt the method of holding the up/down volume keys until it fully shuts down, and then power up normally.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Also, is there anything more to the error message presented? Typically, it is better to have the exact and complete content of the error message rather than fragments.
    Also, what source of application installation are you attempting? BBWorld? Amazon? SNAP? Something else?
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Can't install any app, unknown error

    i installed some apps in a 5800xm, but since yesterday i cant install any app: i got this
    http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/2329/234bcjd.jpg
    it say Installation failed, unknown error: 2148532241
    I tried to reinstall ovi suite beta, and I restored the default settings in the phone but still got that error, I can not install anything even if I install through Pc Suite
    what can i do before i try to hard reset?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    2148532241 means that you have 1GB or less of free space on your expandible memory (the SD). You only have to delete some files and get free space. After that, everything works fine.

  • Skype won't open, can't install any new software

    Having initially been unable to install the latest version of Skype for Mac (v2.8) - a problem I seemingly overcame - I am now unable to open Skype at all.
    I use Mac OS X 10.4.11. I have used Skype v2.7 for months with no problems. When I attempted to upgrade to v2.8, I had various problems with the installation process.
    The program downloaded okay, but would give me an error message when I tried to open it to add it to my 'Applications' folder, saying 'disk image failed to mount - codec overrun'. I Googled this problem and found I could avoid it by hitting 'skip' before the error message appeared. Sure enough, the box appeared with the Skype icon which allowed me to drag it into 'Applications'.
    However, even though I now have dragged the Skype icon to my 'Applications folder' and it appears to have have copied successfully, Skype will not open at all. When I attempt to open Skype, the icon simply bounces once on my dock and then stops. The program cannot be opened through any other means that I can find. Please help, as I use Skype regularly to keep in touch with my family back home.

    Hi oldmateskip, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode. Reboot.

  • 2009 mac pro can't install any new os's - tried multiple drives

    Ok guys here's where i'm at.
    I was running a 2009 mac pro with 10.6.8
    I downloaded and ran mavericks but after it restarted it just hung on the no entry sign over night.
    So i did a restore and that worked.
    I repaired permissions, and tried via a usb thumb drive no luck.
    I restarted using my partners osx 10.6 mbp dvd and erased my mac pro drive and reformatted making sure it was guid partitioned and journaled etc.
    Still no luck.
    Even stranger when i try to install from external usb drive the installer doesnt see the hdd but if i use the dvd it says it cannot install but does see the hdd and lets me do a restore.
    So at this point im sure some of you will be saying the hdd is dead.
    But on each restore it was fine.
    AND
    so then i bought a samsung evo 840 and stuck that in using an icey box and just thought i'd install mavericks then copy over some files etc from my back up.
    BUT i get the same issue. The usb installer cannot see the new ssd, but if boot from the dvd i can see it and restore the time machine backup to it.
    Any suggestions at all?
    Thanks

    I know there have been some similar reports or stories about installing OS X.
    At one time 2009 4,1 had trouble with Mountain Lion also.
    Some models had trouble due to a user installed Apple wifi / bluetooth module.
    Sometimes NVRAM is to blame and an SMC Reset AND zap PRAM/NVRAM (from cold boots).
    This is a good tutorial, updated, while there are various other How To's around since Lion that are all basic same steps.
    How to make your own bootable OS X 10.9 Mavericks USB install drive
    http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/10/how-to-make-your-own-bootable-os-x-10-9-mav ericks-usb-install-drive/
    it’s possible to create a local USB installer for Mavericks. The bad news is that it wasn’t as simple as it was before—Apple has changed the way the installer works, and making an install disk manually is more difficult than it used to be. Before we get started, here’s what you’ll need:
    An 8GB or larger USB flash drive, or an 8GB or larger partition on some other kind of external drive
    The OS X 10.9 Mavericks installer from the Mac App Store in your Applications folder. The installer will delete itself when you install the operating system, but it can be re-downloaded if necessary.
    The latest beta of the Lion Diskmaker app, available here (as of this writing, version 3 beta 3 is the most recent). This app is free to download, but the creator accepts donations if you want to support his efforts.
    An administrator account on the Mac you're using to create the disk.
    The easy way
    Lion Diskmaker remains the easiest, most user-friendly way to get this done.

  • I can't install any Free Application from Apps store!!

    I cant download any application from Apps store, I can find all the applications,
    but when I will press the Free button to install it;  no action happened I have iPhone 4S Apps?

    I've linked my iPhone with my Computer and I opened the program iTune and I choose the iTune Store, and I found the free program which I want to download, and I did download it successfully, and then I did sync with my iPhone.
    so why I could not download the software directly from the Father Store from my iphone Apps store as usual?

  • Can't install any new apps or updates

    I can't get Apple Software Update to work, it says "Fatal error during installation". If I try an install Adobe Reader, it gets to the end, then says it was interrupted and cancels the install. Any idea how I can fix this?
    Thanks
    Joe Mac

    Have you tried deleting the apps in question? Tap and hold until they wiggle, then tap the X to delete. Next try re-downloading them, one at a time.

  • I get error 0x80073cf9 now and I need help to FIX Windows Store can't update any Apps & can't install any Apps now?

    Hi I hope some one can tell me step by step how to fix windows 8.1, I can't update any of my Apps and can't install any new apps now and I get error code 0x80073cf9?  But my problem is different than most of the other FIXES I read about, because nothing
    fixes my problem to be able to install new Apps and get app updates and stop getting that error code?
    I keep getting same error code 0x80073cf9 after I try any of the FIXES I have read about and tried all  the fixes on  my Lenovo Z580 laptop, that came with windows 8 and updated to 8.1.  And ever since I bought this laptop I could
    always install and update all my apps for the last year when I had Win 8 and Win 8.1 now.   This has been going on since April and May and its driving me crazy!    And from the May updates I did get all the updates and
    I also installed the KB update  that said I need this KB to get all updates in the future.  
    But all the other people when they get this error code they could not even open and use any of their Apps already installed.  And they also get the error code when they try to update or get a new apps.   
    But I can click on any APP installed already and use all my Apps with no problems.     I have read so many how to fix this error code but nothing works! :-(      I have tried a lot of 
    the fixes on Microsoft forums that says do this and the fix will get rid of the error code but I keep getting the same error code after I try that  fixes.    And I have read a lot of other windows 8 an windows 8.1  web sites when
    I search for how to fix this error code?   And tried all of the fixes that were different from the Microsoft forum fixes. But after I try those fixes I still can't install any apps or can't get my app updates? 
    Please to any person's who can help me by giving me  more that 1 fix, because I have tried so many fixes, If you know more that 1 fix tell me how to do your fix step by step so I can understand what you say to do to fix my windows store? 
    Thanks for any and all help?  And if I don't get any help in this section of the forum I will try to put this in a different area, if I don't get any help at this section of the forum I will try to ask this in another part of he forum ok?   
    I really need HELP with this so I can get my laptop working again to install new apps and get the updates to my apps? 

    Fixed the problem by going to settings/store and logging out with apple ID.  Then logged back in with password and updates, apps, and iTunes store seem to work ok now.

  • I brought  I pad air 3 months ago, but recently I can't install any application and can't make an update. Even I can't install the free application. I can see ... There is a previous purchase problem please Singh up your bank information again. Plz help

    Hi , I brought an I pad air 3 months ago. But recently I can't install any application and can't update any application. Even I can't install any free application. I can see one dialogue box about in red colors " there is a previous purchase problem please type your bank information correctly" . So I don't know what to do please help me. Thanks

    The message implies that a previous purchase may not have been paid-for due to problems collecting the money from your account. Have you tried logging into your account and updating/changing your payment details (tap on your in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and tap 'view Apple id' on the popup and sign into it) ? Until there is an accepted payment method on your account (credit card, redeemed iTunes gift cards) and what you owe has been paid then you won't be able to download anything (including app updates).

  • Can i get help on how I can successfully install the new google voice video chat software. I keep having an install error. My google voice phone always worked until a week ago when suddenly google would not let me call out from any browser

    Can i get help on how I can successfully install the new google voice video chat software. I keep having an install error. My google voice phone always worked until a week ago when suddenly google would not let me call out from any browser until I installed their new google voice and video chat (made by vidyo) software. I was told by genius bar to install Yosemite, which I did. But that did not solve the problem. I removed macKeeper, as well, since a techie friend told me that could be the cause. Nothing so far has worked.  When the problem first happened, it seemed to only happen in Chrome. Google voice calling out worked fine in safari, for about a day or so. Now I cannot call out from any browser. I can, however receive calls, and make calls within the video hangout.
    I can be contacted directly if questions at gary at couplewise dot followed by the usual extensin

    You can only suspend service for 3 months at a time (with or without payment) and only twice a year.
