Installation stuck half way through.

I am in the middle of reinstaling tiger on my computer. Disk 1 installed fine. I put in disk 2 when it asked me. It then says "preparing for installation, installing garadge band app" then stops.
The installer window closes leaving just a blue screen and then starts again. It does this over and over again.
I cannot quit, force quit the os x installer or do any thing. If i remove disk 2 it asks for it again. If I restart the computer it just starts trying to install tiger again from disk 2.
What should I do??

Parke ahs a great idea. Also:
Clean the disk. Barely dampen some toilet paper, and wipe the surface. Avoid getting any in the hole, and if you do, make cetain to wipe it. Then, with another wad, wipe the disk dry. Be very deliberate.
Look at the top side of the disk (hold it to a light). If the top is scratched, the disk is toast. Get another.

  • I've downloaded the ios7 to my iphone but it didn't verify so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

    I've downloaded the ios7 software to my iphone but it didn't let me install it over air so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

  • Creative Cloud Installer gets half way through downloading the desktop app then just disappears, without downloading, why is that?

    Creative Cloud Installer gets half way through downloading the desktop app then just disappears, without downloading, why is that?
    I have recently purchased a student subscription to the 'complete package', my credit card was charged.  Then I download the Creative Cloud Installer from the website, that's fine, then I double click the Creative Cloud Installer as per instructions, it starts downloading the desktop app, but only gets to about halfway then just disappears. 
    I've tried using both safari and chrome, restarting my computer, but neither has worked.
    I have noticed that the website will not keep me logged in for long either, it keeps switching to BUY instead of DOWNLOAD. 
    Any ideas?

    Initially I had downloaded the photoshop CC2014 trial once, I paid I wanted the CC version because I need the oil paint function which was taken out on the CC2014 version, so what I did is uninstall the CC2014 which was installed and working and proceeded to install the CC version but midway through installation it kept failing and telling me to restart my computer, I have done that at least half a dozen times, plus I've also tried the following:
    > I uninstalled every adobe app I had including CC
    > I have used the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner tool app
    > Have restarted my computer so many times I lost count and I still get the same error, half way through the installation process
    > And now the same thing is happening when I try to reinstall illustrator, this is a nightmare!
    BTW I'm not running any other software while doing this and have turned off the fire walls
    I'm on an Imac OS X version 10.9.5
    Please help I've spent so manny hours trying to solve this, it's driving me crazy and need to complete some work in photoshop I have deadline.

  • Installation fails half way through process

    Whilst trying to install Leopard onto my ibook g4, it stopped working because of a minor scratch on the disk. This meant that when I had to restart my laptop it tries to run it from leopard instead of tiger. As there is only 20% of the operating system on the computer it does not work and just stays on the grey opening screen. The disk is also still stuck in the drive and there is no way of getting it out. Is there anyway of rebooting the computer or will I have to send it back to apple? Thanks

  • 4s stuck half way through update

    I started the update last night- connected to my Mac. This morning i still have the black screen with the apple logo and the update bar is only halfway through loading. It seems stuck there. I cant turn the phone off and there are no messages.  Advice please...

    Try resetting the phone - disconnect phone from Mac, then press and hold down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button. Kepp them prssed down till you see Apple logo. This will reboot device. Same thing happened to me on my iPod touch - after resetting device, I was able to get into Settings and confirm that the update actually did install.

  • HT2499 I inserted a brand new DVD and it quit half way through and gave me the "skipping over damaged area" message.

    I got this laptop refurbished from Apple in July. It was originally released in October 2011. I have watched DVD's on it previously, but lately, in the past 3 weeks, it's been pooping up the "skipping over damaged area" message. I put in a brand new DVD and half way through, it did it again, and I can't get past it. Any thoughts on what the problem may be?

    You can just open Terminal (in Utilities) and run the rm command (make sure you type it exactly) and then reboot.  With /.AppleSetupDone gone the system will think it is the the second part of an installation, i.e., after it installs and reboots and starts the Setup Assistant.  You will see the Welcome and music all over again and then you can go through the setup prompts again, this time specifying a password.
