I can't Install new programs

When I try to install new programs the system goes through all the normal motions but when I get to the password area I start having problems. I enter the admin password and hit ok then nothing happens. It is like I never tried to install anything or like I never hit the setup at all.

Are you running Leopard?

My Mac won't open certain files anymore so I can't install new programs.

I accidentally reset the default application used to open new programs that I try to install and now it won't open. It's set accidentally to use ScriptEditor. I'm not sure what "program" was used originally to open them, so I don't know what to reset it to. How do I fix it so I can install new programs again?

Install new programs using existing MIDLet

Hi,
Can any one tell me how can I install new programs remotely using an existing MIDlet on a mobile device.
My existing MIDLet is setting on the cell phone and will accept my incomming connections and will download the new software in the memory. I now need that software to get installed on the cell phone.
How do I do that.
IIs there any defined way of installing packages.
Is there something like Runtime.execute() method.
Waiting for response
TIA
Zoha

This issue may be due to a missing symbolic link; to replace the link under 10.3 and newer, open the Disk Utility in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the Repair Permissions command.

In 2012, I bought Photoshop CS6 Extended (education edition) for Mac. Now I want to install it on my new Macbook. I have the correct serial number and product code, but I receive an error message: the software may be a false copy etc....What to do?

Here is a copy of the error
This means : Installation failed.
Verification of the Adobe Software failed
The product you want to install is no valid Adobe product and seems to be falsified.

If your serial number is listed as being valid at http://www.adobe.com/ then I would recommend obtaining a fresh copy of the installation files. You can find details on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

You can install CS6 Photoshop Extended on 2 machines, provided you are not using it simultaneously.
Thanks

Dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk,

dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk, what can I do?

Well I was able to obtain a work around download of Flash and it installed fine but Firefox tells me it needs updating so I go out, thinking I'm "IN" finally to update it and I get that issue of not being able to get the update for it. It's a regular laptop, not a touch screen or one of those new fangled ones for todays world. In fact it's a refurb so it's probably origin date was a year or so ago before all this MS stuff took off fully. So not understanding why I'm feeling like I'm being BLOCKED from getting the updated Flash I need and desire. If I click on the little "X" and tell it to ignore the warning the vid will play just fine but don't want to have to do that every time. Must be a better way.
Again, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum, getting this posted in the Flash forum was my desire but the way Adobe has this set up I just couldn't figure it out. I belong to ALLOT of forums and most are pretty straight forward but this one is confusing!

Unable to install new programs

I am unable to install new programs to my Mac book. The Mac's personal specifications is as follows:
Software: Mac 10.5.4
Startup disc: Macintosh HD
Memory: 1G 667 MHz DDRZ
When every I am trying in install or update my programs it gives me the following message and nothing I do can change it:
Selection a Destination:
Macintosh HD (111GB (13.8GB free) and !
Installing this software requires 85.4MG of space
You cannot install Norton Antivirus on this volume. This software must be installed on a volume containing Mac OS X version 10.4.10 or later.
HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS. Even if I go onto the internet to update my software it does not allow me to.
Your urgent assistance is desperately needed. HELP :o)

Verify the version of Norton Anti-virus you have is 10.5.4 compatible.
Make sure your hard drive is less than 85% full (an arbitrary number which appears to create problems for Mac OS X)*:

Note running Norton Anti-virus on the Mac is normally something that's only needed to prevent you from becoming Typhoid Mary, more than prevent you from getting a Mac OS X virus, as there are none in the wild. There are some proof of concept trojan horses, but that's about it.

Can not install any program

I can't install any program in my mac OS X(10.6.3)
I didn't install any harmful program before or change any things in system.
I am new in mac and just use it for browsing internet.
I can not copy any thing in Application folder.
when I install program in installation step it's show me "The installation failed"
and under this, for example for Virtual Box write: "The installer can't create the folder "/var/folder/1G/1GlwO6PrF+u3......""
what can I do?

this message is for all app that i try to install.
What specific apps have you tried?
can you tell me how can i repaired permissions by using Disk Utility?
Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive in the list in Disk Utility's window, then click Repair Disk Permissions. And be aware that there are [permissions messages you can safely ignore|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448]. You also may want to [repair the hard drive with Disk Utility|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417] if you haven't done that recently. If it still doesn't work, try [starting up in Safe Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455] and see if that makes any difference.
If none of this helps, you may want to try a local Apple Store, if there are any in Malaysia. I think there's going to be a serious language barrier if the problem needs any complicated troubleshooting, and it's always helpful for the person helping to be able to see the machine in question.

Problems with installing new programs

Dear all,
since the update to OS X Yosemite, I have some problems with installing new programs.
I tried to install the Fitbit App to connect my Fitbit to my Mac but the program can't be started after installation. I have the same problem with Blackberry Blend, too. I am able to install it but it doesn't start running.
Does anybody have an idea what's the problem?
Thank You,
Lisa.

Did you receive any errors during the installation itself or does this happen when you try to open Photoshop?

Satellite L650-1M0 - CAN'T install new display driver

Hello!
I have Toshiba Satellite L650-1M0 and i CAN'T install new drivers to my graphic card: Mobility Radeon HD 5650 from the AMD site. Why i cannot do it? I want to install the latest display drivers because i have problems with display mode. My laptop is set on 16:9 but some programs display in 4:3.
Please give the latest drivers on the Toshiba site or tell me what should i do to download drivers from AMD site. I have Windows 7 64x ;).

>Why i cannot do it?
Im really wondering you are asking something like this. It is well known that support for mobile units (notebooks) is offered by notebook manufacturer and not by hardware manufacturer.
Due to specific notebook design and limited cooling performance graphic card cannot be upgraded as on graphic cards designed for desktops. New driver means more performance. More performance means more heat and result can be graphic card damage or switch-offs because of critical hardware temperature.

How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

Hi,
I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
Before you begin, you will require the following:
USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
Windows 7 ISO Image file
UNetbootin
Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

I have Photoshop CS4,on how many computers can you install this program ?

Hello,
I got Photoshop CS4. On how many computers can you install this program ?
Sonste

The license and activation rights are for a single user on two computers that are not used simultaneously—such as your desktop machine and your laptop.

Can you install a program...

Can you install a program, like the sims 2, to an external hard drive?
Sorry is this has been asked a million times
iMac G5 (without iSight) Mac OS X (10.3.9) Goldfrapp Fan

Hello,
Yes, if your internal hard drive's space is limited / low, then installing on an external hard drive is a perfectly fine option.
Keep AxL's comments in mind.
And, also consider that it will probably run a little slower from the external drive. To keep performance up, you should at least use a FireWire 400 drive and get one that spins at 7200 R.P.M.
If you use a USB 2.0 drive, you will definitely be complaining about performance while using the program.
And, most updaters are available for download, and usually ask you which drive / program location to install them to. So, that probably won't be a problem. It's a consideration. But, probably not a huge issue.
I hope this helps.
Let us know if you have other questions.

I can not install new update in Photoshop CC, does any one know, how I can install the new update?

I can not install new update in Photoshop CC, does any one know, how I can install the new update?
Photoshop CC show me, if I look on "Help" -> Update, there is no update. But my actual license is very old....
I tried it, to do it manual. But there is also some problem.

totally agree. at this point i could care less if "apple" supports it. i'm not renting my ipod touch, it's mine. i paid for it. and i'm not asking to do anything illegal with it, all i want is to get rid of this POS ios6 and get back to being able to use my ipod touch the way it was before...working.

Installing new programs

Hello,
Have tried to install new programs onto Leopard, but the computer does not seem to want me to do this. When I insert and dmg. file or the CD containing the program...the computer reads it, allows me to drag to applications, or to open the VICE file for installing, but then it does nothing...absolutely nothing. I tried this with OFFICE 2004 and MAc-Link and Appleworks (which I am slowly replacing anyway, but there are some wonderful things there still for me).
Why won't the computer allow me to install these workable programs...some seem to work well on my PowerBook, but not on this desktop G5.
Go raibh maith agat
Tom

Thank you Jeffrey Jones, you just saved me $89 as I was considering buying iWork.
I don't know why I thought Appleworks wouldn't run on Leopard, perhaps because of its pre Aqua theme.
I was surprised it even ran on OS X, though of course it did come bundled with OS X.
It always looks a bit of a black sheep, more at home on OS 8 than OS X. And so, from its deceptive appearance I thought that an Intel computer would surely pass it by, but no.
Consistent with its black sheepiness, it is the sole PowerPC app, showing in Activity monitor.
