Installation problems with The Sims 2 (disk space)

Hey, sorry to bug everyone but I have been having so much trouble trying to install The Sims 2. Whenever I try to open the installer it says..."Package Installer requires at least 1 MB of free disk space. Free up some space on your local disk and then re-lauch Package Installer"
I am so confused, I got my macbook about a month ago and it is my first mac. I didn't think I would have to "free up space on my local disk" And if I do how do I go about doing that?
Or am I just screwed? I thought if my macbook wouldn't run this game it may just be very slow because it couldn't keep up with the graphics, I didn't expect it to not even open the installer.
Please help!

I had this same thing happen. Its because you are trying to start the game from the DVD instead of the Harddrive as I recall. Make sure you are clicking on the icon in the Applications folder. It was a long time ago this happened to me and I forget all the details.

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

"There is a problem with the SIM card in your iPhone"

I'm getting this error when I try to activate my new iPhone 4 through iTunes:
"*There is a problem with the SIM card in your iPhone.*
To activate your iPhone with this account, you will need a new, unactivated SIM card. Please use the SIM card that was provided with your new iPhone. If you are using the new SIM card, and are unable to complete activation, you can go to an Apple Retail Store or an AT&T company owned retail store to request an unactivated SIM. If you would prefer to have a replacement SIM card sent to you via overnight mail, please call us at 1-800-MY-APPLE. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused."
Now I've already been to AT&T and nothing they could do with the account settings would work, in fact they had never seen the issue before. They gave me a new SIM card and that did nothing as well. Finally they tried out a different SIM tray, and that still didn't work. I have a Genius Bar appointment at the Apple Store tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. Do you think that the SIM reader inside the iPhone 4 is broken?

I solved a problem I had with activating my iPhone although the error message was different from yours.
I got the message "There is something wrong with your iPhone and it cannot be activated, please bring it to your nearest Apple service".
Via a Chinese forum I found out its the SIM card witch is the problem. If the serial number of the SIM has a "letter" in it it won't work. If only numbers it will work.
I now tried it with 2 SIM cards with letters and got the message over and over again. Than tried with my only numbers SIM card and it activated instantly.

What does it mean when it says there is a problem with the sim card?

What does it mean when it says there is a problem with the sim card?

Exactly that, there is a problem with the sim card.
The sim card is the little chip that links your iPad to the cellular providers network to get internet anywhere.
It may have moved in the tray and lost contact, it may have an actual issue, or it may be deactivated by your cellular service provider.
Contact them to have them look at it or your service and see if there is anything wrong with it.

I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup Disk for Time Machine disconnecting itself with the message that I ejected it improperly.. It ejected itself - why?

I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup drive to Time Machine ejecting itself and so does not automatically backup the way it is meant to do. It is connected with an USB cable to my iMac. What could cause this - malfuntioning drive?

The "iLife" apps are not part of any Mac operating system install and are a separate purchase.
Once you get past 10.6.6 you can purchase and download iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie. iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued.
Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and higher include the App Store application which is what you use to purchase Lion.

I was resetting my macbook pro 17 (early 2009) to factory settings but does not restore due to a problem with the restore disk. Please advice me on what to do next.

I was resetting my macbookpro 17 (early 2009) to factory settings but was indicating problems on the restore disk. I erased my macintosh hd drive so the hd is empty. What do I do next?

Get an external drive and make a clone of your internal, erase the internal, set it for 1 partition (OSX Journaled) and restore the clone.

Problem with the sim

The problem is that the phone stopped detecting the sim suddenly Vovi her out and replaced and it worked but it has happened again and no longer detected at all ... the card was cut at the store because it was not microsim format could be this the cause? can serve the red button next to the place where you put the sim?. Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Could be too old SIM standard, too slow chip, not a 3G SIM at all, card gets overloaded or simply was damaged in the process of cutting.
The size of the SIM is not always about only the size. There are different SIM standards, old ones are not always compatible with modern devices.
You should get new, Micro SIM card to avoid damage to the card and/or to the phone.
When everything have failed already, try to read the manual.
Kudos mean I am helpful. Am I for you? Then support me back

Why having problems with the sim, not supported carrier?

My provider Orange UK has allowed me to unlock my iphone and has send to me all the steps. WHen trying to unlock my iphone, it gives me this message error
" The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iphone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iphone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iphone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information"
I bought a non Orange 3G sim card as they mentioned and there is this message. Anyone can help me to unlock my iphone?
THanks!

Have you followed all the steps for unlocking your iPhone, as listed here?

If so, did you get the "your iPhone has now been unlocked" message after you restored the iPhone?

Installation problem with the new iso after trying to install the LTS

I tried to install arch (i have always succeeded before) but i wanted to use the LTS kernel. When choosing packages i unchecked the linux package (which provides the 3 kernel) and checked the kernellts package.
After i was done with the configuration i got this error message (not exactly sure) something to do with the mkinitcpio : error Preset not found: '/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset'
The system was unbootable of course... I assume that it has to do something with the kernel version. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe i should try to install with the older iso...

Thanks for the quick reply. But I 've already formatted the partion... Can you tell me a way to do this during the instalation? If it can't be done should I use the older iso? I am not an expert by the way. I assume I could install the 3.0 first and then add the lts kernel but I hate installing anything that I will not use (that's one of the reasons I want to use Arch). Thanks in advance.
PS. Would the archboot iso help?

I can't call anybody, but I can receive calls. There's no problem with the sim card, and no numbers are blocked. Help me.

When I try to call, the call always failed.

From a different phone, call your cellular carrier. They need to get involved.

I can not upgrade to quicktime 7.7.3 for windows vista. Error message says there is a problem with the program installer. Any clue as to how to get around this.

I can not download quicktime 7.7.3 for windows vista. The error message says that there is a problem with the windows installer. Any clues?

The error message says that there is a problem with the windows installer.
What's the precise text of the message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

ITunes won't upgrade to10.5. Error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. Contact the package vendor". I need help.

iTunes won't upgrade to10.5. I'm on 10.1.17.
When installing 10.5 it terminates with an error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. Contact the package vendor".
It does not provide an error code or details/description to further troubleshoot. As a result I can't upgrade my Apple devices to leverage the cloud.
Any smarts out there who could help?
Using PC Win-7 w/IE 7 (should that matter)
Thanks much

I know there's a million threads like this, but I thought I'd record my experience. I, too, was having the original poster's error when I tried to update iTunes on Windows XP. I think I was stuck on 10.
I solved it by un-installing iTunes and every other Apple app. I discovered that Apple Software Update would not un-install as its MSI file could not be found. I used the "Windows Install Cleanup" tool from Microsoft to remove Apple Software Update from the list of installed programs. Google "kb290301" for a Microsoft page that includes a download link for it. After that, I was able to install a fresh copy of iTunes 10.5.2.
I'm not sure why this app's folder and MSI were missing from my computer. I had once used Laplink PC Mover to move everything from my old computer to this one, and perhaps it missed a bit.
