I have software trying to install but not visible until I shut down

When I shut down, just prior to the screen going blank, there is a message which is visible for just a second or so which looks like the install software message. I have tried to hit the "abort" button but I'm not fast enough. Is there somewhere I can locate this and abort it?

It is possible you have adware installed on your Mac. Maybe Genieo, or something else.
You might want to visit AdwareMedic <http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php> and TheSafeMac <http://www.thesafemac.com/>
If those sites do not help, you could try posting the output from EtreCheck that might tell the forum what 3rd party additions have been installed that might be causing your problem.

Firefox 28.0a1. In Win XP Tabs close just fine. In win 7 tabs will not close until you shut down FF.

FF 28.0a1....I can open tabs in Win XP and close them with no problems.
In Win 7 I can open tabs but cannot close them until i shut down FF completely.
I have completely uninstalled FF28.0a1 and reinstalled it into a new folder with a new profile. Still the same problem exists.

No this is NOT an older version of FF.
It is the very latest Nightly version (Ver 28.0a1)
It works fine in Win XP.
Only in Win 7 am I having the Tab problem.

X11 is installed, but not visible in applications/utilities

Hello y'all
everything points to the fact that x11 is installed on my new imac however it is not showing up in /applications/utilities.
It is not an option on the startup disk(because it is already there?)
Older versions won't install because it cites that a newer version exists.
I am starting to get that bad logic twitch in the side of my face.
Please help
Rich

This cleared up my install problems with x11, it turns out I had not installed after all.

Re: X11 Support
Posted: Aug 2, 2006 4:49 PM in response to: Stoof
Solved
Hello,
Here are some directions I typed-up to install X11 using two different methods in OS X 10.4 and 10.3. Refer to the appropriate section for the installation method you would like.
To install X11 on OS X 10.4:
Option 1
Install from the installer on your disk.
These directions have been verified to work for both the OEM / Grey 10.4.x disks that come with your computer and the retail boxed version of OS X 10.4.x.
For the OEM / Grey disks that came with your computer, insert the System Restore disk that came with your computer (Disk 1).
For the Retail boxed version of OS X, just insert the black install DVD.
With that done, continue with the directions below.
The disk you inserted should open up automatically on your desktop, and display the contents of that disk.
Scroll down to the icon that says "Optional Installs". Double-click on that icon to start the installer.
When the Installer opens-up, you'll see a welcome screen. Now, click "Continue".
Next, you'll see a license agreement. Read and Accept it to proceed (Click "Continue").
Next, you'll select your "Destination" drive. Choose your main hard drive (the one with OS X installed on it), and click "Continue".
Now, you'll see a "Custom Install" screen.
Make sure everything is unchecked.
Now, click on the sideways triangle next to "Applications".
You'll now see a list drop down. In that list, you'll see X11.
Put a check-mark in the box for X11.
Click "Install".
You'll be prompted for your administrator password for OS X. Enter that password now, and click "OK".
You'll now be presented with the installer screen. Just wait for it to finish installing.
It will then move to an "Optimizing System Performance" screen. Wait for that to finish.
You'll then be told: "The software was successfully installed".
Now, click on "Close".
You're done. X11 is now installed and ready to use.
Option 2
Manual Install
These directions have been verified to work for both the OEM / Grey 10.4.x disks that come with your computer and the retail boxed version of OS X 10.4.x.
For the OEM / Grey disks that came with your computer, insert the System Restore disk that came with your computer (Disk 1).
For the Retail boxed version of OS X, just insert the black install DVD.
With that done, continue with the directions below.
The disk you inserted should open up automatically on your desktop, and display the contents of that disk.
Scroll down to the folder that says "System". Double-click on that icon to open the folder.
Now, in that folder scroll down to the folder that says "Installation". Double-click on that icon to open the folder.
Now, in that folder scroll down to the folder that says "Packages". Double-click on that icon to open the folder.
Now, in that folder scroll down to the icon that says "X11User.pkg". Double-click on that icon to start the installer.
Now, the installer will launch.
You'll be presented with a screen that says: "Welcome to the X11 Installer".
And, a prompt that says "This package contains a program that determines if the software can be installed. Are you sure you want to continue?".
Now, click on the "Continue Button".
Now that the prompt is gone, click on the "Continue" Button in the main X11 Installer screen to continue.
Next, you'll see a license agreement. Read and Accept it to proceed (Click "Continue").
You'll now be specifically asked to either "Disagree" or "Agree". Click on the "Agree" button if you want to proceed.
Next, you'll select your "Destination" drive. Choose your main hard drive (the one with OS X installed on it), and click "Continue".
You'll now be looking at the "Easy Install on 'Hard Drive'" screen. Where it says "Hard Drive" your computer will say whatever your hard drive is named.
Click "Install" to proceed.
You'll be prompted for your administrator password for OS X. Enter that password now, and click "OK".
You'll now be presented with the installer screen. Just wait for it to finish installing.
It will then move to an "Optimizing System Performance" screen. Wait for that to finish.
You'll then be told: "The software was successfully installed".
Now, click on "Close".
You're done. X11 is now installed and ready to use.
So, there you go. That's the two basic methods to install X11 on your Mac OS X 10.4 system.
Now, if you have OS X 10.3.x, then the method is similar. But, the installer is in a slightly different location.
For OS 10.3.x:
Manual Install
These directions have been verified to work for both the OEM / Grey 10.3.x disks that come with your computer and the retail boxed version of OS X 10.3.x.
For the OEM / Grey disks that came with your computer, insert the System Restore disk that came with your computer (Disk 1).
For the Retail boxed version of OS X, just insert the install DVD.
With that done, continue with the directions below.
The disk you inserted should open up automatically on your desktop, and display the contents of that disk.
Scroll down to the folder that says "Welcome to Mac OS X". Double-click on that icon to open the folder.
Now, in that folder scroll down to the folder that says "Optional Installs". Double-click on that icon to open the folder.
Now, in that folder scroll down to the icon that says "BSD Subsystem". Right-click or "Control"-Click on that icon to bring-up the contextual menu. Now, choose either "Show Original" or "Show Package Contents" (One of those options will appear in the contextual menu. Pick the one you see).
The package's contents will now be opened in a new folder on your screen.
Now, in that folder scroll down to the icon that says "X11User.pkg". Double-click on that icon to start the installer.
Now, the installer will launch.
You'll be presented with a screen that says: "Welcome to the X11 Installer".
And, a prompt that says "This package contains a program that determines if the software can be installed. Are you sure you want to continue?".
Now, click on the "Continue Button".
Now that the prompt is gone, click on the "Continue" Button in the main X11 Installer screen to continue.
Next, you'll see a license agreement. Read and Accept it to proceed (Click "Continue").
You'll now be specifically asked to either "Disagree" or "Agree". Click on the "Agree" button if you want to proceed.
Next, you'll select your "Destination" drive. Choose your main hard drive (the one with OS X installed on it), and click "Continue".
You'll now be looking at the "Easy Install on 'Hard Drive'" screen. Where it says "Hard Drive" your computer will say whatever your hard drive is named.
Click "Install" to proceed.
You'll be prompted for your administrator password for OS X. Enter that password now, and click "OK".
You'll now be presented with the installer screen. Just wait for it to finish installing.
It will then move to an "Optimizing System Performance" screen. Wait for that to finish.
You'll then be told: "The software was successfully installed".
Now, click on "Close".
You're done. X11 is now installed and ready to use.
I hope that you find this lengthy tutorial helpful.
I spent a lot of time putting it together. I sat down with all my disks and computers, and tinkered while writing this. So, everything should be accurate. I wrote each line as I did it on the computer.
Hopefully this detailed set of directions will help you to get X11 installed on your computer.
Let me know if you have other questions.
I hope this helps.

Programs installed but not visible in application folder

I am having a strange problem. Only a few of my programs are showing up in the application folder. If I search for the programs using the finder window they are there and the path at the bottom of the finder window shows they are in applications, and can be used but they just are not visible in the application folder (root folder).
Any suggestions how I can make these programs visible.
Thanks

Try this as a start:
Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Do both items. Sometimes simply setting the Finder to show invisible files then turning off the option will make those invisible applications reappear. Sometimes it doesn't work. In that case you can try the following:
1. Enable the Finder to display invisible files. Leave the Terminal active.
2. Enter the following command line in the Terminal
sudo chflags -R nohidden
Put a space after "nohidden", select all the invisible applications you could not see and drag the selection into the Terminal window. Press RETURN. You will be prompted for your admin password. Enter it. It will not be echoed. Press RETURN.
3. Disable the Finder's display of invisible files.

Notification successful but email not sent untill PM shuts down

Hello,
I was trying to email from a BPEL process and edited the ns_emails.xml file; corrected the SMTP host and port. The BPEL processes (with the email notification) succeed but the emails are not delivered until the BPEL PM shuts down.
My network administrator told me that he could see a session connecting to the SMTP host but that there is no disconnect. Shutting down the PM does disconnect resulting in delivery of the message.
Not a desirable situation...
Does anyone have a suggestion to solve this or does anyone have a similar problem?
We are using Lotus Domino 5 as a mail server; perhaps that is a problem?

I'm having the same problem and my firewall is turned off, so I'm wondering what's the issue.
Can anyone suggest what's going wrong?

My Macbookpro tries to startup but after initial loading screen shuts down. What should I do?

My MacBook Pro tries to startup, but after trying to load the IOS it just shuts down. The power cord is attached to rule out battery issues. Can anyone help?

Ashy07,
so have you backed up and reformatted?

Ipod touch remains black, cant restore reset or conect with i tunes. tried resetting recharging but remains black. before it shut down i was warned that i didnt have space to load a app then the screen went white with black lines; kinda of like fuzz

is there another way to restart?

- After charging for half an hour see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Hi out there... this problem began when I uninstalled Lion and reinstalled Snow Leopard on my older MacBook. If you have some advice for me, thanks! John

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes.
BTW, you posted in the iPod touch forum.

Thanks.

I stumbled upon the solution. In addition to downloading Creative Cloud, I needed to go back to the website and download trials for the programs I want to use--Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did that, I was in business. Would save trouble if that was made clear on the download site.
Thanks

I have a DVD Acrobat Pro 9. I upgraded laptops and trying to install but the DVD is not readable. How can I get a new DVD or Download Acrobat Pro 1. The product is registered and I have the serial number. PS: Contacting Adobe on this issue is impossible..

I have a DVD Acrobat Pro 9. I upgraded laptops and trying to install but the DVD is not readable. How can I get a new DVD or Download Acrobat Pro 1. The product is registered and I have the serial number. PS: Contacting Adobe on this issue is impossible... direct support stinks.

Download AA 9 Pro from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. Make a new backup for your archive. You might also take the DVD to your library to see if it is a drive problem. You might also carefully clean the DVD with water and soap (do not use anything that would scratch the surface or you have destroyed it for sure) and see if that solves the problem. This is particularly an issue if you have finger prints or other crud on the DVD. However, it could also be a bad drive as I mentioned. Hopefully the download solves your problem in any case (I would backup the download to CD and/or backup HD).

When trying to install Adobe Standard XI, it says, "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Steup will now terminate." I have a Pro trial installed but did not seed so much functionality so I purchased standard.

uninstall any acrobat and reader versions, if you have win os clean (Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs) and then install acrobat std.

Go back to that article, ignore the instructions for updating it wirelessly, scroll down, and follow those for updating it from iTunes on a computer.

I have just tried to install the full version of Anthill to my iPod touch Gen 4. I get a message on the iPod saying "Anthill failed to install" and an error on the computer "OxE8000004". I already had Anthill Free installed so deleted it in case it was interferring with the new download. I can install other free apps but now can't even install Anthill Free. I have tried the 7 resolution steps advised by Apple and have totally run out of ideas as to what I can try next. I am using a new laptop since installing Anthill Free the first time and am now running Windows 7, otherwise everything else is the same. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

- Maybe here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting
- Try redownloading the app directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop

Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop
I got a new laptop Windows 7. I installed Blackberry Desktop apparently successfully. However, doesn't appear on start menu nor desktop.

Hey tgcraighead,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
After the installation did you restart the computer? If you go into Control Panel>Programs and Features do you see BlackBerry Desktop Software listed in the applications?
Did you have a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.
