Install fails / Parallels 5 on a Mac + Win 7 + CS4

I'm going crazy here. I'm trying to install CS4 to Windows 7 on a Mac using Parallels 5. Installer stops at the very beginning.
Here's the log file. What's wrong and any ideas how to fix the problem? All help will be greatly appreciated!

Win 7 on Mac with Parallels leaves a lot of variables to contend with. All I can tell you is that everything works wonderfully with Boot Camp. Have you checked Parallels forums and newsgroups to see if anyone else has experienced this?

  • Win7 x64 install fails at boot with alternating Mac and Cross-Circle  Logo

    Thanks for reading.
    I have a new late 2009 i7 2.6Ghz Macbook (6.1 model) that I purchased in February this year. I'm having real problem trying to get a Windows 7 DVD to boot on it; whenever I try (either by using the bootcamp assistant to parition my drive then start the boot process, or by holding down the OPTION key, or even using the C key at boot) instead of the normal Windows 7 boot process, the disc spins, then I am left with an alternating Apple logo with a circle with a angled cross line through it, sometimes showing a folder with a ? mark.
    I have tried resetting the PRAM, using other Windows 7 media, but I just can't seem to get a disk to boot. I have even tried wiping my Mac parition in case it was a corrupt partition by backing up to a timedesk then reinstalling, but again when I come to install Windows 7 I get the same problem.
    I can boot the Mac OS install disks not problems.
    Really appreciate if anybody has any guidance or resolutions?

    Hi - no nothing plugged, except my external DVD drive.
    I managed to install TechTool Pro's emergency EDRIVE from DVD, and have managed to reinstall Mac OS X without any problems, so unsure about a hardware problem. All TechTool tests come back ok, so no issues seem visible from that.
    You might be thinking why I am using an external DVD; well this is because I've taken out the internal DVD using OWC Datadoubler http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/DDAMBS0GB/
    I have a 512GB SSD in the normal hard drive space, and a 500Gb Hybrid disk where the DVD drive was. The drives are seen perfectly well in Max OSX; indeed when I did a reinstall I used the 2nd internal hard disk as the time machine and then restored from it.
    Could it be a problem with partitions or some issue with the EFIboot from the Windows 7 DVD's? I've tried looking at rEFIit http://refit.sourceforge.net/ to see if that would help, but no luck.
    The data doubler shows examples of this being used in my mac model for a specific Windows implementation (which is why I bought it) so don't think its that. Anybody have any ideas?

  • Leopard install fails - No Previous systems - packages all over desktop

    *My basic question is this*...+Can I hack into the "packages" and other weird files that the Leopard install has left all over my hard disk (in a mid-install failure) to try to retrieve, photos, stickies, and AppleMail?+
    History: After an iTunes "update" I got a bluescreen on restart. After repeated restarts and ample time (hours) for a reboot, I thought it might be time for the Leopard upgrade. I booted off Leopard DVD and ran Disk First Aid first, then installed Leopard. The install failed midway and left weird install "packages" all over my HD. I was only able to see these after booting off of an external disk. No previous systems or Users were anywhere in the mess left from the mid-install failure. I bought a new 500GB HD and tried to install Leopard on that...also failed. I booted off of the external again and copied the "mess" from the internal HD to the new HD in case the internal factory HD failed or was failing.
    Phone support said it was a bad DVD. Wrong!...I used that Leopard DVD on my G4 to create the external boot disk. I took the G5 into the Apple store and they couldn't install off of the DVD, or their mini-drive(s). They ran Disk Warrior and it went nowhere. They kept the G5 and replaced the HD but said they needed to "image" the OS Leopard onto the disk because the install failed. After picking the Mac up, I didn't think this was acceptable and returned the G5 which was sent out for testing. It was determined that it was bad factory RAM that was the culprit. RAM replaced.
    Now my original internal HD with any historical hidden files or other "baggage" is gone (mistakenly-prematurely replaced) and Disk Warrior and DATA Rescue doesn't seem to work on these weird files that I copied from that original disk.
    Naturally, this G5 (wife's new computer) was the only one in the house not backed up. I was installing Leopard to use Time Machine with my new Time Capsule. To add insult to injury, I'd recently talked my wife into using iPhoto and AppleMail. She will never forgive me for that! As much as I love the on board apps, I am finding it is inherently dangerous to have your eggs in those baskets because all the integrated Apps (iPhoto, Mail, stickies, iTunes, document folder, etc) were/are destroyed or "packaged up" in an upgrade and the 3rd party apps (and their ancillary files, mails,etc) were all fine. (Eudora, Adobe apps, etc.)
    _If there is a way to "crack" open those files and get to at least the photos, that would be great._
    Otherwise, I have learned 6 things from this experience. 1. Backup your photos, music and Document folder (minimum) today...and everyday. 2. Don't think that a simple iTunes update is necessarily innocuous. 3. Mac Genius is a title and job, not a degree or intellectual state. 4. Endorsing computer applications to your spouse is not necessarily a good idea. 5. A computer crash can lead to severe depression and other issues that will negate any quality of life advances you thought your computer had afforded you to date. 6. Backup everyones computer - today! I wish I felt better now, but I don't!

    a true horror story. i can only commiserate. I'm not at all sure your pictures and other stuff are actually in one of the packages that are left but you can use [Pacifist|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743] to open them up and restore anything useful you find inside.

  • Time machine doesn't back up Win OS installed in Parallels.

    My mac has just been restored from Mac OS 10.9.5 crash. Well i have a time machine backup by which i got my data restored but time machine failed to restore Windows 8 originally installed on parallels before OS crash. Is there any other settings to be marked that i recover WIN OS from time machine back up.
    Regards

    You need to backup virtual machines manually, outside of Time Machine. The way those things work, if you used them with Time Machine you would have a 40GB backup every hour. That would get old fast and fill up your Time Machine with useless junk.

  • The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

    Question: The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

    Absolutely - but I had no idea there were two versions. When I got my new laptop I just went to the Adobe site to download and install LR5. It never asked if I had a license; it just directed me to install CC to start a trial which I thought I could license after downloading. Several sessions and many hours of looking through the forums and Google for an answer I never ran across anything that made this distinction. I still haven't found a path from www.adobe.com that would get me to the standalone download page (it's probably there, wasn't obvious to me) and looking at the download page it doesn't make any CC/standalone distinction.
    There are many places I could have gotten a hint - for instance the license could be tagged "stand alone edition", the CC-version could recognize the stand-alone key and either accept it or produce a more meaningful error message, or the download site or the CC app could ask if I had previously purchased a key, etc.
    It was my error to assume this was a deactivation problem, but it looked the same as a previous deactivation problem with Photoshop.
    In any event, thank you for your help.

  • How do I install Microsoft Office 2013 on my Mac via my Windows 8 Parallels Desktop 8 partition?

    I recently bought a copy of Windows 8, Microsoft Office 2013 and Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac.
    I wanted to install a Windows partition on my Mac so that I could run MS Office 2013 on a virtual machine.
    I set up the VM, and everything was looking fine and worked smoothly.
    Then, when I inserted the MS Office 2013 disk into the CD drive, nothing happened!
    I tried to install MS Office 2013 but to no avail.
    Does anyone know how to overcome this issue?
    Thanks.

    In the Configure menu item, under Virtual Machine, configure the CD/DVD to be recognized by your SuperDrive:
    The only drawback is that you have to quit Parallels for the drive to be recognized by the Mac again.
    I just purchased the Office 365 subscription for both Office 2011 on my Mac and Office 2013 on my Windows 7 side - sure makes life simpler, and less expensive.

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Install Failed

    Trying to upgrade a Power Mac Dual G5 from Mac OS X Tiger to Leopard 10.5. When I try to install the Leopard Disc, I keep getting an "Install Failed" message. This is what is said:
    Install Failed
    Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer
    The source media you are installing from is damaged. Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
    Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again.
    Now, I've used this disc once before for an upgrade on a laptop and worked fine, just started to fail when used on the G5. The disc is not scratched, nor looks damaged. Not sure why it's saying damaged? Any insightful knowledge would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The install disks I have are the ones he got with his Mac Mini. Are there different install disks for iMacs? On the disks themselves, it says "for Mac computers."
    Do I have to buy an OS which is specifically for iMac?
    The discs that came with his computer have only the necessary software pieces needed to run his computer--it lacks the drivers that would be needed run your iMac. (In addition, installing the same copy of the OS on two computers would be a violation of the license, even if it worked.)
    You need to buy a retail version of Leopard or Snow Leopard. Since your iMac has an intel processor, you can buy the cheaper Snow Leopard ($29) from the "Store" tab at the top of this page or anywhere that sells Mac software.

    The first time I attempted to install ML was on a late 2011 MBP.  It ran for three minutes then gave me the error message: Could not install OSX due to an unexpected error.  I was using the original ML install app, not a USB or other drive.  
    After a couple of restarts wiht the same result I saw a message to the effect that the install was trying to close open apps.  I closed apps  manually a few times to no avail.  I shut down instead of restarting then booted into Safe mode (hold down the shift key when starting) and that did it.  The install went smoothly after that. 
    I since installed ML in two iMacs using a cloned copy of the install app on a USB drive.  This time I shut down the computers and booted into Safe Mode first and there were no problems. 
    I don't know if this issue is the one causing you these problems but it is a simple enough solution to try.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

    Is this still unresolved? Other than repairing permissions, and a re-start, I can't think of much to do.

  • 1 hv bought d Parallels Desktop 9 for mac. how to install without installation CD? jus hv activation key...

    i hv bought d Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac. how to intall it without installation CD? jus hv activation key...

    From what you say, you have probably opened Parallels Desktop. If you were not asked for your activation key, you will find a button called "Parallels Desktop" at the top left part of the screen, so press it, and you will find an option named "Activate" or something similar. Select it, and if Parallels Desktop is not activated, type the activation key. That's all.
    Respecting to the window you are seeing now, you have to choose one option to create a virtual machine. For example, if you have got the operating system you want to install in a DVD (for example, Windows), choose DVD. If you have got the operating system installer in an ISO file, choose Image File. You can find more help in the Parallels website.
