I can't install iLife11 - running OS X v10.6.5

I have installed OS X v10.6.5, restarted the computer - information indicates correct operating system is running. Every time I try to install iLife11, I get the installation error message. Any other suggestions other than installing OS X 10.6.5?

You are likely to have a defective disk. I would contact apple, however, try the following first.
Boot your mac in Safe Mode. Start up your mac and as soon as you hear the start up tone, hold the shift key.
Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator on the screen. The progress indicator looks similar to a spinning gear. This might take a while (up to 2 minutes) so dont reboot again. During startup, you will see " Safe Boot " on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
Try your install again.
If this does not work, add a new user account, and try installing it on this account, but for all users of the computer. (Make sure the account has administrator rights. You can change this in System Preferences>Accounts).
If this still doesn't work, make sure any anti-virus software is uninstalled and try again.
Please get back to me with results.
Hope this helps!

    What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
    I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
    Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:

  • How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro/?

    How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro?

    You have several options.
    1, Use a Virtual Machine like Vmware, Parallels etc... to Create a Virtual Windows Installation and Run your program in there.  A Virtual MAchine will runn in a Window on your Desktop and share your Mac's resources RAM HD space processor. Your MAc desktop will still be available while you run Windows install.

    2. Install Windows on a partition using Bootcamp. It will run a full installation of Windows you can boot into, and run your programs.  The Mac desktop will not available until your reboot the computer and start in OSx instead of Windows.

  • Can I install and run Photoshop CS2 on a Windows 7 64Bit OS?

    I just purchased a computer It is a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS.  Can I install and run Photoshop CS2?  What issues would I have?

    For what it's worth I have Photoshop CS2 running fine on Vista x64, but I've not moved it over to my Windows 7 x64 machine.  Generally speaking, things that work fine on Vista x64 work fine on Windows 7 x64.
    That said, you might want to wait until you hear from someone who's actually tried the exact combination themselves.

    Microsoft has not written IE for Macs for a long time.

    Hello...
    I am having the exact same problem this person was having, except that I wasn't able to repair permissions. When I attempt to do this, I get this message:
    The underlying task reported failure on exit.
    Does this mean that I have to do an Archive and Install? In which case, would you mind walking me through that process? <:)
    I really have no idea why this is occurring, as well..if you could explain that to me, I'd be very grateful.

  • Can't install LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on Windows Terminal Server

    With my system admin, we tried to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on our Windows Terminal Server NT4. And we get an error all the time:
    -install using the plugin
    -install using LVRTE.exe
    -install after rebooting the server
    But I remember that we could install the Run-Time Engine 6.0 on another Windows Terminal Server NT4.
    Is there any compatibility issues with the new Run-Time Engine 6.1 ??
    Thanks for your help
    Cyrille

    Cyrille,
    What is the error that you get when trying to install the run-time engine?
    Are you installing it from the LabVIEW CD, or did you download it from the web site?
    To further troubleshoot this problem, it would be best if you send us an email to [email protected] and send the above information.
    Also, try running the installer from the command prompt window, and use the following syntax:
    setup.exe/l*v
    This will save the error log to the file you specify. Send us also this file to help us troubleshoot.
    Thanks

  • Can I install and run TWO versions of iTunes in Win7?

    Please, definitive answers only (as far as possible), and read the question properly before replying - it save creating a useless and confusing thread!!!
    My problem: New iTunes is awful, I like using 'CoverFlow) for navigation. Omitting it from the newer version is a mistake.
    How to resolve?: Can I, in a newly created (seperate Win7 folder from 'Program Files'), install an ADDITIONAL (and older) version, so that I don't have to uninstall the existing newer one?
    My music resource is on an external hard-drive, so, theoretically, is available to more than one installation of iTunes variants?
    I am NOT going to uninstall the new one I already have, as this is a 'normal' install which I shall upgrade accordingly.
    Can I install another, to work temporarily until iTunes put back into their relseases 'CoverFlow', by simply installing it in a different location/folder, and then pointing both to the music resource.
    Anyone tried this already, maybe even for the same reason as me, and got a definitive outcome if it works or not, without causing any conflicts?

    Thanks. Yes, I am familiar with dual-booting systems. I often do this at work. But, again, not really answering my question:

    I ask as I've never tried it, and don't particularly know all about iTunes.
    To be honest, I'll just give up with this as a forum, as this is the 2nd time I've made a plain question as straight foward as a possibly can, to get an answer to a different one.
    I give up, if people just can't read properly, then answer the question , preferring instead to give me an opinion.
    With deep appreciation of you using that forum, I will bow down deeply concerned with my incompliance with your preferences.

  • Can't install or run itunes or quicktime in Windows

    First, I own several Macs and one Windows machine. The problem is with the Windows machine (and yes I downloaded the Windows version, hehe).
    I've actually been having hard drive trouble with this machine, so this is a fresh installation of the OS, which is Windows XP Pro x64, fully updated as of today. Due to all of my attempts at trouble shooting my hardware problems, I've reinstalled the OS several times, along with itunes and quicktime, and the installations all worked each time (minus the drive failure part, hehe), *except for this time*. Now that I'm using an apparently good drive, I can't get quicktime and itunes to work.
    What they do is install, with or without error. If they install with an error, it's a -3 error, or something like that. They never run. I mean, I click on the icons, and all I get is an hourglass, and then nothing (sometimes I get a crash report that is meaningless to me, oh and one time I got an error about some file called run32.dll or something). I can't uninstall the software because whenever I try, it says it completed, but upon rebooting, the stupid quicktime icons are still there (although I think it manages to remove itunes but I'm not 100% sure). There is an uninstaller in the quicktime folder, but even it won't run.
    I run Avast antivirus, but I have always been running this and it never caused problems before. I am a low risk when it comes to getting infected with stuff anyway, because I'm very careful when I use the internet (I don't think I've ever seen a piece of spyware before in my life, or a virus), I'm behind a NAT router that has all ports closed, and I've turned off certain network features on this machine that would normally make it highly insecure.
    I've tried that Windows Installer Cleaner thing, but that didn't do anything.
    I'm not having any trouble with any other piece of software.
    Any suggestions? This isn't a huge issue for me, since I have other computers I can run itunes on, but it's really bugging me in a way because it was working fine literally just a couple of days ago. Now that I've reinstalled the OS yet again, though, it won't work.
    Windows XP Pro x64

    oh, i know what you mean ... we don't have your specific problem, but the noir household counts itself amongst the ranks of people who had their Outlook Express address books blown up by KB911567.
    we've had mixed success with trying to convince Windows Update to stop reinstalling that beast. so we're also planning to implement the following strategy from the latest PCWorld's bugs and fixes column (it appears to be for standard XP, but fingers crossed it should work for x64 too):
    Set Windows Update to automatically download patches, but to install them only when you say so. Open the Control panel, choose System, and then click the Automatic Updates tab. Select Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them, and click OK.
    then do custom installs of downloaded updates. then we can check to see if the beastly ones have somehow made their way back onto the list of updates that XP wants to install.
    ( ... there seem to have been a lot of Windows-update-related problems, lately ... but perhaps it's just that a bunch of them are hitting me where i live, so i'm noticing them more ... )

  • HT1899 Can I install and run Windows XP on my MacBook Pro 13in. OS X 10.7.5?  If so, where can I buy it?

    I'm planning to use my macbook pro to record music, but some of the programs I will be using are only compatible with Windows.  I was told that it was possible to install & run windows XP onto my macbook pro by using Bootcamp.  I just don't know how fullproof or problematic this might be, or if it has even been successfully attempted yet.  Please help!
    Thx, K

    You can use XP with 10.7.x by installing XP when the Mac is operating from OS X 10.6.8. It can then be up graded to 10.7.x. Below I have reproduced the "Hatter " method instructions that I have used successfully. If your MBP cannot boot from and install 10.6.8 then it is a no go situation.
    Upgrade 10.6.8 to 10.7 or 10.8
    Use a maintenance utility like Yasu or Cocktail to prepare existing internal Mac OSX  HDD.
    Clone the internal Mac partition to an external HDD with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Restart from the cloned external HDD and select it as the startup volume via System Preferences / Startup Disk.
    Install 10.7 or 10.8 on the cloned external HDD replacing 10.6.8 or 10.7.x.
    Install 10.7.x or 10.8.x updates on the external HDD
    Restart the updated 10.7.x or 10.8.x  external HDD and test and adjust the preferences if needed.
    When satisfied, clone only  the 10.7.x or 10.8.x  external HDD back to the existing internal Mac HDD replacing 10.6.8 or 10.7.x  but don't include the recovery partition.
    The Boot Camp partition will not be altered as to drive id which appeared to cause problems for a few people.
    The recovery partition will be on the ext HDD and can be used for trouble shooting. A more convenient way to have the recovery/reinstallation environment is to create a Lion install USB thumb drive.
