Installation could not be completed

I'm having a problem installing snow leopard. After about 20 minutes of installing (1/4 complete) the installation stops and says in could not be completed. Provided is an installer log which shows the problem starting with:

After this is just line after line of "localhost Report Crash[151]:..."
I have no idea what it means and what to do to fix it. Any help would be appreciated

gave it another attempt and was able to save the installer log:

not sure...
Again though, I'm more concerned with restoring my Hard Drive from my External HD now. Do I need the Leopard installer disk? The SL disk give the option to restore from EHD but it is not showing up. I suppose I should start a new post in the appropriate section for this.

OS X x installation could not be completed error. Cannot find how to resolve this issue

ive been trying to install Yosemite all day. Read a lot of posts and tried all the methods of how to go in safe mode. Cannot find a way out of this loop and cannot figure out how to get back to Mavericks. Working on late 2010 iMac w Intel based processor. Please let me know how I can get back to my computer

Are you getting a "No" symbol mid installation? That is the problem that I keep having. I can't get past it. I end up in an endless loop like you said. All I can do is restore from backup which takes about 4 hours and I don't want to do that. PLEASE HELP!!

I cannot install itunes no matter what I try, I have just purchased the iphone4 and I try to install the new itunes 10.5 but I keep receiving an error message saying that the installation could not be completed please try again.

I have deleted files/folders like it tells you too here, but nothing seems to work.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

right click on the setup file
run as administrator
also try compatibility mode as winxp sp3
also try rebooting windows.
if all fails still, run ccleaner, clean your pc of junk files, scan registry for errors and spyware while your at it.
can you install another app? meaning will it install anything else or is it just itunes that wont install?
are you logged in as an admin?

TS3212 installation could not be completed

Ive tried installing the 64 bit version of itunes on my laptop three times and it wont work it keeps giving me this
and yes it is a 64 bit computer
any ideas?

You might try a manual install/repair.
The instructions below I've done with Windows 7 64 bit.
After downloading the latest version of iTunes from Apple, extract the files in “iTunes64Setup.exe”
(If you have never done this, you may need to download a program such as WinRAR [64 bit].)
Manually run each install file in the following order.
AppleApplicationSupport.msi
Bonjour64.msi
AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
iTunes64.msi
If there are any errors, write back with the results.

Server 2008 Pinter install error OPERATION COULD NOT BE COMPLETED (error 0x900f0214)

I downloaded the HP Universal printer driver for a LaserJet 4250dn network printer to our server running SERVER 2008 SP2.
I dowloaded the zipped executable files for both the PCL5 and PCL6 drivers to the desktop and ran the EXE to unzip the files. When I tried to run the INSTALL.EXE file (as an ADMINISTRATOR) for BOTH drivers, the following occurs:
Answer YES to EULA
Select TRADITIONAL MODE (or DYNAMIC MODE - it doesn't matter - neither one works)
Click INSTALL
Immediately I get the error OPERATION COULD NOT BE COMPLETED (error 0x900f0214)
Click OK
Click FINISH
This happens with both the PCL5 & PCL6 driver installations.
I activated FILE SHARING, PRINTER SHARING, and NETWORK DISCOVERY but did not solve the problem.
I was logged in as the Domain Administrator and the Local Admin also.
Any suggestions?

Printer driver was not installed. operation could not be completed

Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1
windows XP system.
Cannot add the Adobe PDF printer get the error message:
Printer driver was not installed. operation could not be completed
Software installs/repair try to install the Adobe PDF printer but they do not. No error message; just that the Adobe PDF printer does not show up
I tried adding the Adobe PDF printer manually.
The drivers start to load and then fails giving the error message in the subject line.
I cleared the print spoolers and rebooted.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobat /rebooted/reinstalled. Install says it adds the Adobe PDF printer but nothing happens.
Problem exists for all users including Administrators.
I have renamed the C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86 and C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\Printers folder.
Both are recreated when I try to reinstall the Adobe PDF Printer.
I can add network printers with no errors.
I have cleared Adobe PDF printer from registry. e.g.:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-3\Adobe PDF Converter
I even imported Adobe PDF registry entry from a working system taking care to adjust the system values accordingly.
I also verified permissions for registry keys and application/driver folders were set correctly.
I have completely reloaded the installation software and imported the Adobe PDF drivers from a working system.
Not sure if this an Adobe issue, but that appears to be the only printer I cannot re-add.
Any constructive ideas on what to try next would be appreciated.

When I upgraded to Reader 9.4 I lost all ability to print Adobe pdf's. Finally uninstalled 9.4, re-installed 8.2, changed the filename "high quality.joboptions" to "Adobe PDF converter.joboptions" and was back in business. Pretty screwey fix, but after getting no help from online chats with Adobe and a day's lost work I was happy to have it.

Install Problem "Error: -48 The operation could not be completed... "

I am unable to install the "Take Picture Action Installer" from http://automator.us/downloads.html#1026
The error message is "Error: -48. The operation could not be completed because there is already an item with that name."
However I created a test user on the system and was able to do the install there just fine. Anyone know how I could fix the problem?
Thanks

Hi Aaton
I have not had a problem with that download (since your post)
There is an Automator "Take Picture" action which is owned by the system (Macintosh HD/System/Library/Automator/) which appears under the Image Capture library
The .zip file which you downloaded should go into Your user name/Library/Automator/ and is named "NYHTPROD-Take Picture.action" and appears under the Photo Booth library. It says that is the destination in the panel when you unzip the file
Suggest you have a look around those libraries and check things are as they should be then try again

10.5.2 The Installer could not install some files in "/"

I have tried to upgrade my Inter Mac Mini Core Duo 1.66 to 10.5.2.
I ran the install through software update and proceeded through the 2 restarts. Once my mini restarted I checked "about my mac" to find that it still said the system was 10.5.1
I ran software update again to find that on trying to install i now get the message
Install Failed - The installer could not install some files in "/" please contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
I then tried the same with the combo updater and got the same message
I have tried to verfiy my disk or repaire permissions using disk utility for it to completely hang with the spinning beach ball and causes finder to crash.
I have also booted up with the leopard disk in and tried disk utility which says there are no problem with the disk but disk utility in leopard still hangs
Can anyone help??
Is anyone getting the same problem?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem installing the Leopard Graphics Update on my Dual 2.5 G5. Installing 10.5.2 went fine, but afterwards the graphics update would fail to install, with the same error message you got. I tried both Software Update and downloading the standalone installer.
But wait, there's more! I also can no longer repair permissions using Disk Utility. I get the following message: "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit." Booting from my Leopard install CD does allow me to fix permissions.
Lastly, my second internal hard drive is now also behaving oddly, Any time I try to drag a file to the Trash, I get a dialog box telling me: "The item "(file name)" will be deleted immediately. Are you sure you want to continue?"
I've run DiskWarrior from the CD and tried fsck in Single User mode (no errors found). Nothing seems to help
I had no problem updating to 10.5.2 on my MacBook, but the update to my desktop has been a real booger. Anyone who can offer any input, I'd sure appreciate it.

Hi Assennatog, the problem could be in the registry keys that are still present even if you completely uninstalled all the NI SW. So, after having uninstalled every NI apllication, try to execute the keys deleting proccess, by using MSIBlast, in the way it's explained in the attached doc. Ciao!

Installer could not validate...

I was using software update to get 10.5.8 and the garageband update but when the files were downloaded and about to be installed, I received the error message: "installer could not validate contents of the (garageband/10.5.8) package".
I have looked on other discussion topics and saw that repairing disk permissions often solved the problem, but it didn't do anything for me. When I repair disk permissions I get a bunch of "permissions differ..." messages but at the bottom it says "permissions repair complete".
Also, I tried downloading the updates directly from the apple website (including the combo update for 10.5.8) but those were both unable to be validated when they were downloaded
Is there something wrong with software update or my computer?
I don't have this problem downloading any other type of file
anything else i can do?

help plz?

SQL Server 2014 Management Studio - "The operation could not be completed"

Hi there!
I've recently installed SQL Server 2014 Express Edition to my Windows 8.1 x64 computer. It was working fine for one month or so. Now, when I try to open Management Studio I get the error "The operation could not be completed". A few seconds into
the splash screen. Then the application shuts down.
I don't have any errors or warnings on Event Viewer. Not even any information lines related to SSMS when opening. I've tried to use ProcMon but I can't see any events related to SSMS.exe that could give this result. I've already installed Cumulative Update
2 for SQL Server 2014 with no luck. Also, I've repaired SQL Server installation and even reinstalled this instance with the same outcome.
I know this topic has already been written before but it was related to Windows Server. The response marked as Answer was not applicable to my case. As I said, I'm using Win 8.1 x64.
I'm out of options for now. Can you please give any help?
Thank you so much.

Hello,
Before reinstalling Windows, please try the .NET Framework Repair Tool.

If the above did not help, you may want to try the automatic repair option.

Outlook Web Access Search - Action could not be completed

Hi All,
When I try to search for an email in OWA 2010 I get the following error message..
The action could not be completed. Please try again..
I have tried restarting the Microsoft Search (Exchange) service to no avail. Anybody know what could be broken here?
Thanks ahead of time,
Mike

You will need to execute a script on the affected Mailbox servers that reinstalls the symbolic links:
Download the script Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1 from
the Script Center.
Copy the Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1 script to the Scripts directory on the Mailbox server (default installation is C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange
Server\v14\Scripts).
On the afflicted Mailbox server, open the Exchange Management Shell by right-clicking the shortcut and selecting “Run as Administrator”.
Within the Exchange Management Shell, navigate to the Exchange Scripts directory.
Within the Exchange Management Shell, run the following script:
.\Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1
Within the Exchange Management Shell, run the following script (without the symbols [] and substitute the database name(s) for any databases you wish to reset:
.\ResetSearchIndex.ps1 [-force] <dbname> [<dbname>]...
You will receive an Event ID 109 when the rebuilding of the index starts for each database and an Event
ID 110 for each database when the index rebuild has completed.
Please consider: you have to wait up to 24 hours when the index rebuild has completed and after
receiving Event ID 110 for each database, test to
make sure search functions correctly with both OWA and Outlook operating in Online Mode.

I'm trying to sell this Macbook ever since this whole faulty drive popped up, I needed new Macbook Pro ASAO for school so now I'm really trying to sell this Macbook. How could I repair it? Wouldn't I need to buy a new DVD drive? I just started trying partitioning my external HD so I could put the install disk on it but I keep getting this error message, it was the same with my newly encased HD that I'm trying to format. Here are pictures of what's happening.
First:

Last thing I can do, won't let me make it bootable for some reason, on both HD's:

I really appreciate the help and response. Is it even worth it trying to buy a new DVD drive, installing it on my own. Then barely making any money off selling the Macbook? Any clue what kind of DVD drive I would need?

I recently had to get a new computer.It required me going from windows xp to 7 I am trying to put it one the new computer but I get following message Windows installer could not be accessed could be in safe mode.How do I get around it? need it to charge my ipod on my computer.

I have used PCs for years, and still do at work. But, last year my wife bought me a 15" MBP with the anti-glare screen (I was getting ready to buy for myself). It took me all of 1 week to completely get used to the UI for OS-X, and now I really prefer it over the Win7 UI. I have no experience with Win8. Here are my thoughts:
1) You can get a good computer using either a Win8 machine or a Mac.
2) You will pay less for an equivalent PC. But not as much less as some would have you believe. You need to take into account the all aluminum body of the Mac (vs most PCs being plastic) and the size of the display. And, don't forget that there is a lot of bundled SW on the Mac that you will actually find useful and would have to purchase for the PC.
3) You can probably do everything you need on the PC platform with the right SW (you probably already know this since you are using one already).
That said, I think some things are easier on the Mac. For example, GarageBand is a standard part of the Mac SW installation. I got up and running recording directly from my bass into a track with a song imported from iTunes on another track in a snap. I only had to purchase a Jam adapter ($99) for the bass so I could come in over USB instead of using the audio in port (which did work, by the way). You can do the same on a PC, but you have to purchase the SW from somewhere. And, it probably isn't cheap.
I use VMware Fusion to run those Win programs I already owned because it was much less expensive to buy Fusion than to replace them.
I would not return to a PC for my own use, given a choice. But, I would be very careful about getting my wife a Mac without careful thought as she is not as tolerant of learning new things as I am.
So, there you go.
