Installer (2nd level) hangs at 7% then quits

I've recently updated to X.8.3 (from X.6.8) via a complete erase and install. When I go to a web page with Flash, I'm told to update my Flash. I download the installer and then start the installer up. The Flash window shows that the 2nd level installer is downloading and quickly goes to 7% then hangs. After a few minutes, the windows goes away, no message, no nothing.
When I go to the Adobe help pages, they tell you to uninstall what you have (I can't uninstall what hasn't been installed), it tells me to be sure I'm downloading the latest version (I have), and as I keep on trying to dig deeper into adobe support, I keep on getting turned right back to the same page that isn't helping me at all. I feel like I'm in an old Twilight Zone episode.
So how can I install Flash on my Mac Pro running X.8.3 into Safari and FireFox?
Thanks,
Gary

Is it possible the directory was corrupted so the Mac can't access the drive?
That is a definite possibility. If that is so, the latest version of Disk Warrior should be able to rebuild and replace your directory.
How could aborting the upgrade when I did cause a HDD failure?
I don't think I said that it did. It may be just coincidental. HDDs do fail in time. The average life is 3 to 5 years with 1 to 3 per cent failing in year one. The platters on these drives have a thin coat of lubricant which, with age and heat thickens and becomes gummy, and spin out to the edges of the platter with centrifugal force causing sticking heads. In addition the high rotational speeds and the fact that the bearings are literally floating in lubricant leads to wear and instability. So, replacing an HDD after three or four years even if it is not troubling, may not be a bad idea, although many of us wait until we need to do it.
I've ordered the latest version of Disk Warrior... and I pray it launches without a kernel panic.
I hope that it does, too, and that it is able to rebuild and replace your directory.
Other than that do I have any other options?
Archive and Install or a complete reformat, erase and reinstall.

  • Installer does not launch LR 5.7 It makes a feeble attempt but then quits without installing the downloads. How can I correct this?

    Hi: I have been trying for several hours, in fact all day and into the late evening, trying to get Creative Cloud back to its usually helpful self. My older laptop finally gave up on me but it still holds over 2000 of my recent images and I want to get them back unto a working version of LR. .
    I am in Florida and my desktop is in my house in Ontario, Canada. So I picked up another Windows 7 ACER laptop. Actually it was a Xmas gift for my wife who had been suffering from Windows Hateitis .She has recovered and almost likes 8 now. So I get to play with the newer laptop until we get back up north in late March.
    However the gremlins seem to have got there before me and Creative Cloud's installer just won't do it's job.. It stutters along weakly for a few seconds and then quits without launching a single byte.
    I have downloaded the. exe files but Mulder and Skully are no longer around to solve the mystery.
    Perhaps one of you can.
    Once I get LR on board I can work on getting those 2000 plus raw files from a dead laptop to a hopefully healthy one. At least it is not a hate.

  • 2nd level of Drill Down

    Hello,
    I am making the Drill Down configuration.
    1st Level is
    - Area
    2nd Level is
    -Branch
    3rd Level is
    -Shops
    After I make above configuration, I test this on the BI Answers.
    ex)
    Area
    New York
    Tokyo
    Paris
    1. I click the column "Tokyo".
    2. Then the report will show like this
    Area   Branch
    Tokyo  Asakusa
          Ginza
    and I can click "Tokyo","Asakusa" and "Ginza".
    But at this point, I don't want to let users click the "Tokyo" column , but only "Asakusa" and "Ginza" columns.
    Is it possible by the configuration of the BIEE Repository or Answers ??

    Hi,
    I dont think so it is possible.
    But If you click "tokyo" only you can see "Asakusa" and "Ginza".How would you stop user to not click tokyo if you want to get to other step to "branches".
    If you want to achieve that directly create a dimension for Branch and shops.So user will see branches and shops and make it as a separate sheet for that specific user and give him permissions.
    Hope it helps you.

  • How to restrict from creating the  Network for  1st & 2nd level  WBS

    Hi All,
        In our project structure we have up to 5 levels of WBS, In some cases we have creates  3 level also . Now we want to restrict creates Network for first two level WBS  , actually we want to restrict user to Create PR for those WBS so if we restrict them from creation of Network for 1st &  2nd level then they not able to create PR for same  .
    Thanks,
    Virendra

    Hi Virendra,
    I can suggest you other way round solution.
    If you are sure that those two WBS will not take any actual or commitment cost, then its better to NOT to mark those WBS elements as Account Assignment Element. I mean, if you do not set the indicator of Acct. Assignment Element (Untick Acct Assignment Element) on those WBS, then user will not be able to create Networks on those WBS Elements. Try this on your development or quality client and let me know if it works.
    If it works, then you just need to disabled the Acct. Assignment Element indicator for those two WBS element and you can achieve that through substitution and field selection of WBS as well.
    OR
    Just look at OPSG settings at tab component. Just look if that can solve your purpose because your requirement is to stop PR from those WBS element. (I am just wondering if you can stop user from creating/change material components from those WBS-Networks)
    OR
    Go for User Status and set it to on those WBS Elements. Object Types will be Networks and Network Header.
    OR
    Try to achieve a validation or substitution where in you can mark Res./Pur. Req as 1 (Never) only for those two WBS elements. In this way user cannot create PR on those two WBS elements.

  • IPhoto '09 Runs Then Quits Automatically Down

    Hi,
    I accidentally deleted iPhoto '09 from my computer, so I reinstalled in via the Operating System disks that came with the computer. Before I tried that, however, I tried moving iPhoto from another computer running Leopard to mine, running Snow Leopard, using a USB Flash Drive. After reinstalling iPhoto, I can open it and it runs fine for about 15 seconds, then quits automatically and gives a huge error box, saying that the report will automatically be sent to Apple. Could this be from the way I tried before? Does anyone know how to fix this or does anyone have this problem? Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thank You,
    frgoeyvaerts

    You can only install iPhoto from a valid Installation disk.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

  • HELP - LR2 Won't Import And Then Quits

    I posted one thread and got no responses so I thought I'd bust out the CAPS.
    When I put a card in the card reader LR's importer opens. When I try to scroll down and review the images it hangs up and I get the beach ball of death. It then refuses to work and I have to Force Quit. After Force Quitting it won't open again.
    I have tried Trashing the LR application and the LR2 .plist file.
    I tried it with a card filled with 2 images and it seems fine. When I do it with a card with 59 images it hangs up. Then I thought it must be a RAM issue, even though RAM never seemed to be a problem importing.
    So I went out and got 2 gigs of RAM. I put the RAM in and guess what? It still hangs up.
    I just figured out it can import the photos but its the Preview window that is screwed up. If I have the Preview window up and I scroll down more than a few lines of photos then out comes the eternal spinning rainbow. There has to be a fix for this.
    Is there a another .plist file I need to trash that gets repopulated after a new install?
    Somebody please help me with this problem. I have a shoot this weekend and really need this to be resolved.
    Thanks in advance for any help provided,

    check on the back of the fable box, and see which mac osx was it compatible with originally, it may be compatible with previous os like snow leopard and new mac lion messed it up.

  • How to do 2nd level workflow

    Hi Experts,
                    I have done one workflow of first level. Now if approver approves then it needs to be sent to the 2nd approver based on first approver's action. If 1st approver approves it has to go to 2nd level otherwise it has to go to initiator.
        Please guide me how can achieve this 2nd level process.
    Thanks
    G.s.naidu

    Hi,
    Generally in standard workflow on reject action workflow will be closed. so in standard workflow u wont get this functionality.
    For this requirement,
    1. First do looping on Approver 1 user decision task by creating loop step.
    2. If Approver 1 approves the request, then set one flag = 'X' by providing container operation step.
    3. Create termination condition flag = 'X' and two outcome 'true' and 'false' in loop step. if flag = 'X' ( Approver 1 approves the request ) then loop step terminate and outcome will be 'true' and it will come out of the loop and goes to approver 2.
    4. If Approver 1 reject the request then this time flag value is not 'X' means it will check termianting condition in loop step and follow output 'False'.  Now in this branch provide one activity or mail step as per your requirement & in which assign initiator as an agent. so it will goes to initiator if Approver 1 reject the request.
    Hope this will help you now.

  • IPhoto crashes when emptying the Trash and then quitting iPhoto

    When I empty the iPhoto trash and then quit iPhoto, it crashes every time. When I reopen it the trash is again full.
    Also, the items in the trash are blank squares.
    Any ideas?

    Ronniebel:
    Have you tried the usual maintenance procedures? Repair disk permissions, repair the disk with Disk Utility while booted into the system installation disk that came with you Mac, run Tiger Cache Cleaner's medium cleaning routine or OnyX to clean out the various user caches and the cron maintenance scripts.
    Also download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    Another possibility is to run iPhoto Library Manager and use its File->Rebuild Library menu option to rebuild the library.
    Next, move the iPhoto Library folder to the Shared folder and set the access so other users can read and write. Then log into another account on you Mac, fire up iPhoto with the Option key depressed and locate and open the library in the Shared folder. See if you can delete the trash there and operate normally. If you can then it's something to do with your other account. If you can't then it's the library itself.
    Good luck.

  • Description of 2nd level WBS

    Hi Experts,
            Can any one suggest me to get description of 2nd level WBS in Adobe Forms.
    Thanks.

    Hi Sarang,
    If there is no object that incurs actual cost associated to your WBS element at Level 1 then you do not need to settle it, provided the 4 WBS es below it settle all the costs individually to respective settlement receivers.
    Let me know if that helped.

  • Why is it that when i try to open up a game it opens the app for 10 seconds then quits? on my mackbook air.

    so when i open an app downloaded from the app store the game opens for about 10 seconds then quits?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
