Installer enountered errors and was unable to complete the task.....

or something to that effect when attempting to upgrade Quicktime, since I am also unable to uninstall it from my computer. Errors are encountered there too. I can't open it, I can't uninstall it, and I can't upgrade it. HELP!!

Same problem, but with iTunes 8.
I was actually doing a remove and reinstall of iTunes to try to get my 3G iPhone to appear on iTunes when I wound up with this message "Installer encountered errors before itunes could be installed"
I'm on a supercharged Alienware Aurora using XP-Pro.
Here is how I fixed it:
-Removed iTunes and QuickTime through the 'Control Panel' "Add or Remove Programs'
-Shutdown my computer (the first time i tried this, i just did a restart, that didn't do it)
-Got some coffee (probably unrelated to fix
-Turned the computer on (promised her dinner and a chick flick, also probably unrelated to fix)
-Opened Safari (it works great on my PC) and went to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
-Downloaded QuickTime 7.5.5 (option I Used was 'QuickTime 7.5.5 with iTunes
for Windows XP or Vista' (PROBABLY RELATED TO FIX, BEFORE TOTALLY REMOVING iTunes and
Quicktime, I HAD JUST BEEN DOWNLOADING iTunes 8 FROM THE MAC SITE, IT NEVER DID WORK
FOR ME)
+*- And... IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*+
I now have functional QuickTime 7.5.5 and iTunes 8
NOW I CAN GET BACK TO MY EARLIER PROBLEM, IT STILL WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MY iPhone.
All i get is "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
NOT!!!!! Time to call for Tech Support.
Hope this helps...

Hello
i am getting this error:
Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to
complete your request.
Could not connect to JRun Server.
the problem is that when i try to submit for email i am
getting this
the button is supposed to submit a email to ---->

Sometimes a quick trick to try is to do a <CFABORT> on
the first line of code..run it, nothing will happen, then take it
out.. and when you run it again you'll probably get the detailed
diagnostics that'll tell you what it's not happy about.
Otherwise...just progressively comment out code until it
starts working, and you've isolated where the issue is.

Mainstage Was unable to complete the download world music loops

Ok, so I have bought Mainstage 2.2 from the app Store, and have almost downloaded all the additional content.
However, the only pack that will not complete it the World Music Apple Loops.
I immediately get the message, Mainstage was unable to complete the download.
There is no attempt to download this pack.
Any suggestions? I don't really want to uninstall and download 20Gb again.
Cheers

More disk space than I can shake a stick at, very stable internet connection, speedtest shows ping <18ms etc. The main reason for purchasing mainstage is for the loops and instruments, at £20 that's a bargain, but only if I can get the application to download the last package.
Wireshark shows that the server is rejecting the request from MainStage as a HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable.
Looks like either a MainStage Application issue requesting the HTTP GET command or the Server not servicing that request.

I tried updating my iPod touch to the newest update. But my iPod was unable to complete the update now it doesn't even turn on completely. The apple logo appears but then the screen goes blank. What should I do?

I tried updating my iPod touch to the newest update. But my iPod was unable to complete the update. Now my iPod doesn't turn on completely. The apple logo appears but then the screen goes blank. I've tried charging it, letting it discharge, I've tried things I found on the internet but nothing seems to be working. What can I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Backup Error: "There was a problem completing the backup."

Trying to get my iPad 2 to backup to iCloud and get a message that says "There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later." Tried signing out of iCloud and then signed back in. Still have the problem. My iPhone backs up to iCloud on the same WiFi network without a problem.

1 ipod touch has this error. Another one will backup but shows the date as unknown. An iPad works fine. I can't believe it is a server error. I can run the iPad backup at the same time as the others and it works. Also I restored the touches to factory and the backups still failed. Swapped AppleID's and the errors followed the Id's. I wish there was a way to validate that the backups were good on the web side. In the manage storage on the one that fails completely, it show there is a backup with a size and allows you to turn off the apps that are backed up but I know it has never completed successfully. Even iTunes updates the date of the backup in the summary panel even though it has failed. This feedback in iTunes Summary and the Manage panel on the device could give a false sense of security. This needs some fixing from Apple. At least iTunes backups are working as I have restored aa few times now under iOS 5/iTunes 10.5.

Were you using Adobe Creative Cloud to download the application or the Adobe Download Manager? Was this a 'try before you buy' application?
It depends on how you're downloading and where you're downloading from before we can give you a satisfactory answer...

Assertion failed? Tried trouble shooting and was unable to fix.

I tried to use the FAQs to fix the issue.
Error: 'assertion failed' | Update | Windows
I was unable to complete the last step and am still unsure as to what the problem is and how it can be fixed. I have tried contacting Adobe, and surprise surprise, they aren't available for customer support on the weekend. This is extremely frustrating because I have a customer waiting on photos I had been editing since yesterday. Can anyone help?

Are you connecting via wifi? If so, I suspect that there is some network interference.

Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at (file path to image) for editing. it wil

I have been using lightroom since Beta and this is the first issue that I can't seem to fix.
I was working on some files editing in external editors - PS5 & Niksoftware I had worked on 4 or 5 images no problems, working awesome as normal. Then I decided to get rid of one of the files - an edited image - when it asked to remove from lightroom or from disk, I clicked, remove from disk. I never do that but trying to be better with space. Then tried to edit a different image and the error "Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at (NEF - the proper location) for editing. it will not be opened." comes up.
I looked on line and one answer was to delete the preference file and then restart, which also meant reloading the catalogue. All of which worked no problem but the error still is coming up. I have restarted lightroom and the computer a couple of times, in different sequences
I have lightroom 5.3 64 bit on windows 7, as I said all working perfectly until deleting one file.
Anybody have any ideas for me?

I had this error message, too. Turned out it was due to my use of subst to create a virtual drive letter for my photo library. See Lightroom 3.2 - Using subst to a local drive fails for the solution! (even with LR 5.5, still)

Error (2931) VMM is unable to complete the request. The connection to the VMM agent on the virtualization server (host.domain.local) was lost.

Experts,
kindly advice for this error when create vm from a templates, while i'm not having this issue when create the vm to another host from the same templates,
firewall is disabled and no antivirus on the host.
The network and the ping is very stable, and the WS-Management service is running on the host,
Host : windows server 2012 R2
VMM : 2012 R2 3.2.7895.0
VMM updated from RU2 to RU5
Error (2931)
VMM is unable to complete the request. The connection to the VMM agent on the virtualization server (host.domain.local) was lost.
Unknown error (0x80338029)
Recommended Action
Ensure that the Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) service and the VMM agent are installed and running and that a firewall is not blocking HTTPS traffic.
This can also happen due to DNS issues. Try and see if the server (ms-lab-01.eccsolutions.local) is reachable over the network and can be looked up in DNS. You can ping the virtualization server from VMM management server and make sure that the
IP address returned matches the IP address locally obtained from the virtualization server.
If the error still persists, restart the virtualization server, and then try the operation again.

Ok I will try another template,
and the drop happen in the customization after deploying the VHDX file as my first image.
I had this answer from partner forum. but i didn't try it yet
Backup your VMM database and then check the
tbl_VMM_Lock table in the
VMM database to see if it has any locks listed, do this after stopping the System Center Virtual Machine Manager Service.
If there are locks listed in the tbl_VMM_Lock
table you can clear them by executing the prc_VMM_ReleaseAllLocks
stored procedure.

Oh, dear.
If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

I have iphone4. I tried 2 update some applications when I was in USA, updates installation were not complete. Coming back 2 my country Egypt, I am unable to complete the installation of the update; it is still waiting. Is there a way 2 complete installation other than deleting the application that contains important data?

Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint. I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason. The error says "an unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF. How do I fix this?

Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.
