Installer hangs on calculating screen OSX 10.7 (Lion)

I have tried multiple times and multiple systems but installer always hangs when trying to install OSX with CS5 master collection.
If I do fresh install of 10.6 (Snow Leopard) I can install MC CS5. Then when I try to install 10.7 upgrade it hangs.
If I try to install fresh 10.6 then upgrade to 10.7 and install MC CS5 the installer hangs.
Is there any sort of workaround?
Thank you.

This is actually occuring on 5 computers.
I have a 2 seat license and it installed and still installs fine on OSC 10.6.
The only one install that has worked is on OSX 10.7 server on a vmware virtual machine.
Same results trying to get the combination to work on all other machines.
The real kicker is that I can install MC CS5.0 on 10.6 fine.
And I have tried on machines with fresh installation as well as existing installation.
Any other ideas.

My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after new software (security update 2013-003) installation-- hangs at grey screen with "software update" at top. It also intermittently goes to sleep without my asking. What to do?

My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after a new software installation (Security Update 2013-003). It just hangs at a grey screen with "Software Update" at the top. I have to force quit, then restart-- but the new software hasn't installed.
My Mac also intermittently goes into Sleep mode, repeatedly, unprompted by me. I suspect a connection between these two problems.
I have tried deleting the /Library/Updates folder. It hasn't helped. The update still won't install, and my Mac won't shut down without my forcing the quit.
Help please!

Hi, I've just come accross the same problem... did you manage to get a resolution??
Cheers, Chris.

After update installs, hangs at blue screen

I just installed the latest update. The download completed, the update installed and then it rebooted.
On reboot, I get the chime, the Apple shows, the wheel whirls, it changes to the blue screen and then hangs there. I have left it in that condition for an 30 with no progress. I rebooted several times with the exact same results.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem on my MacPro but discovered a work around.
This works for me.
Powerdown then powerup with your finger on the eject button on the keyboard. My tray come out, then it will boot! Don't remove your finger until you have the User login list. I can then log in as usual and everything works! But if I do a Permissions repair I always have some more errors! Hardware test is fine. Everything OK until update.
Hope it works for you!

Installation hangs - OSX upgrade on MacBook Air

I am attempting to upgrade OSX on my MacBook Air. The installation hangs at "Time remaining: Less than a minute" and eventually cycles off. The error log indicates "missing CoreServices." This has been going on for > 24 hours. Any advice?

Tried to upgrade a Macbook Air with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to Mavericks from the Apple store. Nothing seemed to happen when clicking on the dowload button and the request APPEARED to hang. The download button changed to a light grey for a few seconds, then came back as a clickable download button. There was no progress bar in the downloads section. This problem is known to Apple but was not solved as of November 1, 2014.
In fact, the upgrade download button did trigger the download. The only indication one gets is in the dock, where the OS X icon will show only "Download... ". There is a minuscule progress bar under the icon and it will take 30 minutes or so before progress starts to show in blue!
If you use an internet wire connection with a router (without other computers connected), rapidly blinking lights on the router will confirm high traffic to the MacBook Air.
The complete download took over 3 hours, via the USB/ethernet port. I also made sure the computer had power supplied by the wall charger. For some reason, the download caused the light on the magnetic plug of the charger cable not to show red or green, and the battery remaining time was not operational on the computer screen.
Installation took more than double the time shown as remaining. You just have to be patient.
After rebooting, the fan was constantly on and the battery remaining time was still not functional on the header bar. It took about an hour for Spotlight to re-index the computer.
All upgrade activities completed, after restarting the computer, the fan was running loudly and the battery remaining time was not working.
I tried the following as recommended for a similar problem reported after installation of Mountain Lion. By pressing Control-Shift-Option and the power button all at once for a second, the computer switched off. Pressing the power button to restart the computer showed everything was back to normal: no fan noise, and the battery remaining time percentage works again. Plugging in the charger also brought again the red charging light.

Adobe Installer Hangs Up on MacBook Pro running OSx 10.7.5

I can get the Audition CS6 disk image onto my mac via Download assistant or directly. But when I try to install the Adobe Installer hangs up during "Initializing Installer" and forces me to do a hard reboot.
The same procedure works just fine on my mac running OSx 10.6.8
Any remedies?

OK. I didn't find anything useful in the Troubleshoot section. Here's the PDApp.log in it's entirety for the latest installation attempt:

Mac OSX Installer Hangs During Installation

Mac OSX installer hangs during installation
Time remaining remains the same for >3 hours
After clicking get spinny beachball cursor.
What should I do?
Thanks.

The installer may actually not be hunging, in my installation on Win XP, I have seen it "pause" at this point for 5 min or more before continuing with the installation to a successful completion, I did not try to do anything to assist it. Try giving it more time and see what happens.

Flash installer hangs up on OSX 10.6.8

Trying to install Flash player 15 on OSX10.6.8 but the installer hangs up every time. All browsers have been quit, Flash preference file & folder trashed. Activity monitor shows Flash installer not responding almost immediately and eventually stops. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Seaweed,
Unfortunately, nothing Flash Player related is still being logged.
At which point is the installer hanging? When the installer is first launched, there's a EULA acceptance check-box and the INSTALL button. Does it hang before this, or after you click the INSTALL button? Does it get the install progress bar and then hang? Please do post a screenshot of the window it's hanging at.
We'd like to get a sample of the Install Manager process when it's hanging. In Activity Monitor, select the 'Adobe Flash Player Install Manager' process and double-click it. This will open a new window with details on the process. Click the 'Sample' button. When it's finished acquiring the sample, save the file and share the results in the same way you've shared the other log files.
Also, have you by chance run the standalone installer (Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS), to completely remove what was previously installed, or did you just trash the folders (from your first post you said you trashed some of the Flash Player folders). If you haven't run the standalone uninstaller, please do so as trashing the folders doesn't completely remove all remnants Flash Player.

Flash Builder 4: Installation hangs

Hi,
just downloaded Flash Builder 4 and try to install, but installation hangs on at "Installing..." screen. What can cause the problem?
I use Windows XP SP3.

Where did you extract your installer to? There's a known bug where a subcomponent hangs when installing on windows when the path contains a leading space https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-26442.

Xcode Installation Hangs on "Running Installer Scripts"

Hi, I'm trying to install Xcode to take advantage of their gcc and make files. However, no matter what I do, Xcode installation hangs on "Running Installer Scripts". Searching on Google did not give me any help. I can't quit the process either. Here's a screen shot:
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_id4E4GFQud0/SfvsNwDdDaI/AAAAAAAACnI/23tE3vWw3vk/Snapshot%2 02009-05-02%2001-44-41.png
Could you please advice on what can possibly go wrong?
I'm running OS 10.5.6, and installing Xcode directly from the Mac OS X Disc 1 CD. In the CD document, it says Xcode Developer Tools 3.0 for Mac OS 10.5.
Thanks!

Thanks for the details of what you've tried. Every detail you can remember increases the chance that someone can spot the problem.
My read is that you've documented beyond much doubt that a clean install is what you need. Restoring your system was a good try, but I don't think that would change much outside of the /system folder. Even if we think it did, the evidence you provided tells me that some files from the first Xcode installation remain. I would be looking for files created on that date and checking perms in places like the root directory, /tmp, /usr/share/sandbox, etc. I would also advise renaming /Developer as written in the +Book of the Dead+. I didn't invent that instruction; it was distilled from dozens of case histories in this forum.
You might also try one of the 3rd party tools that's out there for cleaning Macs. I've never tried any of them though, so can't make a recommendation.
Oh... erm... You did restart your Mac at some point since the problems started, right?
Re installing only gcc, have you been to the Developer Tools page at the connect.apple.com site? Select Downloads on the home page, and in the next page select Developer Tools from the lower right panel. I found 2 downloads that appear to be full gcc installers: Xcode Legacy Tools and GCC 4.2 Developer Preview 1. The other gcc downloads seem to be updates. I might try gcc 3.1 in the legacy tools. It's probably all you need, and if not you'd be good to go for an update.
Of course, you could always download directly from the gnu site, just you might need to be a rocket scientist to install one of those packages. I'm guessing it would be a learning experience. There's also something to be said for using a 3rd party installer, since it probably wouldn't be affected by whatever is stopping the Apple installer(s).
Sure hope some small part of the above turns out to be useful. But in any case, please let us know how you resolve the problem.

Windows Vista Installation Hangs on "Completing Installation" on Dell Inspiron 1720

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 that I am working on. The original problem with this computer was that it was accidently shut off during a Windows Update. The computer will only load to a black screen with a white movable cursor.
Unable to resolve that issue, I decided to purchase a replacement hard drive (WD Scorpio Black 320GB -- Model # WD3200KTRTL) and proceed to do a full install of Windows Vista using the Dell Reinstallation Window Vista Home Premium 32BIT disc that came with
the computer.
Towards the very end of the installation, the system hangs on the "Completing Installation" section. I decided to leave the computer turned on over night just in case there were things that were still loading. This was not the case and the next morning I
turned off the computer.
With the new hard drive installed and with Windows Vista installed (minus the "Completing Installation hanging...) I am faced with the same problem as before when I had the existing hard drive installed.
Can anyone help me solve this issue? Ideally, I'd like to use the existing hard drive instead of the new one, simply because there is a lot of data and problems on the other drive.

How could it be that I can't reinstall Vista after replacing the hard drive in my Inspiron 1720 when I have the original DVD from Dell, to be used for just that purpose? Well, the answer was exactly what Jaco suggested. After hours of struggling
with this, and about at the stage where a new computer made more sense that continuing to try to get this 6 year old one running again, changing the AHCI setting allowed the Vista installer to get over it's CRCDISK.SYS hangup. A 30 second fix, but finding
it took hours. Sigh...Thank you for posting this, Jaco.

Premiere Pro CC hangs on splash screen "loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle"

Premiere Pro CC hangs on splash screen "loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle"
This happened before when I had CS6. I'm now using CC and haven't had problems until now. I again get the hang up while loading. Previously I trashed the loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle file and this solved the problem.
I tried to contact support. I thought my subscription to CC included support, apparently not.
Anyone else have this Problem?
Brian

Thanks for the response Kevin.
I tried repairing permissions.
I recently installed OSX 10.8.4 but I've been succesfully using PP since then. PP is up to date v7.0.1
I have read the other forum posts on this.
Again, this problem cropped up using PP CS6, but I was able fix it using this procedure:
1. Go to Applications
2. Go to Adobe Premiere CS6
3. Right click on the application and click on “Show Package Contents”
4. Go to Contents –> Plug-ins –> Common
5. Move the following files to the desktop: ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle and ImporterQuicktimeHost.bundle
6. Restart Adobe Premiere CS6 and it will successfully open up
This no longer fixes it.
I desperately need to get back to work.
Even though I feel Adobe support should be included in a CC subscription, I'm considering purchasing Adobe Bronze support with a max wait time of 4 hours and only alloted phone calls for $175
thanks anyway

Windows Server 2012r2 WDS capture image hangs at black screen

Ok so i upgraded my server to 2012r2 and i am using the boot.wim from windows8.1 pro iso. I create a deploy image and it boots up on my fujitsu stylistic machine. It also boots on my lenovo thinkpad yoga.
I go and create a capture image and at first fails so i added the usb3.0 lenovo dongle driver. It then shows me the windows logo and just hangs at black screen. I have downloaded the entire sccm driver package off lenovo site and nothing has
helped. It also does not load on the fujitsu machine either.
I have been going nuts any help is much appreciated
thanks
Dave

Hello,
Where did you get the original image? If you download it from MSDN or technet, can you provide the link?
And is update 1 integrated with the original image or you install it manually after installation?
In order to address the issue, we need collect some more informaiton.
Thank you.
