Installer scripts won't run

Hi, I've just tried running Software Update on my iMac to install Safari 5.0.1. It downloaded it but stalled when running the installer scripts. I powered off the machine and restarted it, and there don't appear to be any issues with the system and I'm now using Safari 5.0.0 without problems. I run Software Update once a week and haven't had any such problems previously. Last night, Virus Barrier X6 also couldn't run its installer scripts on a weekly scheduled update, and I had to force quit the installer. My MacBook has run both of these successfully, just not my iMac.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thanks, I know that is an option but I was more concerned that my iMac doesn't seem to want to run any installer scripts

CS3 installs but won't run

Ok - not sure if this goes in this section or not.. but it's a technical question.
My b/f bought me a Dell Laptop last week. It has the recommended minimum of everything adobe says it needs for photoshop CS3 (see below for 1721 specs)
When I installed it on the laptop - it was slow, but said it installed. But when I go to open up Photoshop, it opens the screen - and then just hangs. After about 5 minutes it says not responding and I close it. Any of the other programs that came with won't even get that far. I click on them and it gives the little "thinking" circle (as I call it.. lol) and then nothing.
I have read that CS3 has issues with Vista - but their site says the home premium should work. I've also read about 64 bit issues.. but the OS is 32 bit - so it's capable of running 32bit systems... I guess.
I called adobe yesterday after installing and reinstalling CS3 15+ times... with the same issue. I was on the phone for about 2 hours with them. Basically - they have NO CLUE what it would be since it installs fine and opens with no error messages. I checked the log files and there is nothing in there I see that says any kind of error.
I have disable windows defender, uninstalled McAfee and google desktop (all are known to cause issues with CS3), I have ALL non MS startup services turned off.. I have turned off the MS users control.. all suggested by the adobe tech.
I have installed using the run as administrator. Nothing. Created a new admin account and installed on that user and opened on reg admin account. Nothing. (again typical things that correct cs3 install issues)
The last thing the guy said was that it might be a video issue. I checked and there aren't any issues mentioned and no driver updates listed.
We tryed installing this on my b/f's laptop. He bought the exact one I have (except his is red.. mine blue.. lol) and it does the EXACT same thing...
So today we called dell. they say it's a software issue and won't answer any questions for free. Apparently only hardware support is free... But they won't accept this is a hardware conflict with the software..
errrrr
Anybody have any clues on this?

Rob - thanks for taking a stab at this.
I have tried installing from the DVD and also from the zip file. the zip file was extracted to the hard drive brfore I ran it - and I ran it as administrator.
And when it stalls - it gives the (NOT RESPONDING) tag on the window - which usually means that even if I leave it (and I have for up to 20 minutes) - still nothing.
Here's the update from my dealings with DEll today...
Dell tech support guy told me that it was a know issue that CS3 WON'T run on Vista and that Adobe is working the issue
Told them that I knew others that were running it on Vista and it worked fine. They had no answer.
Then I waited for the Technical support manger to call. This is after expressing my displeasure to the technical supervisor about them trying to pawn this issue off on anyone else but themselves. Why can't they go grab a 1721 off the shelf and replicate the issue and try to figure it out from there?!?!?!
I used to work on a network helpdesk.. if I tried to pull that crap answer without trying to replicate the issue and AT LEAST try to find an answer.. I wouldn't have lasted very long at all!!!!
The Tech manager told me to call customer support and ask for an OS swap (from vista to XP) because they don't know what the problem is and so it muct be a Vista compatibility issue
I call customer support. They say that they no longer will give out XP since it is a step backwards. And to install XP on the machine ourselves (even a liscensed copy) would void the warranty. They suggest I talk to sales about swapping the laptop out with a "more compatible" one. Which isn't a totally bad idea since I really do think it is an AMD/ATI conflict.
They transfer me to Sales.. ohh - you used the Employee Purchase program.. you need to talk to them.. and they transfer me.
The EPP people tell me.. ohhhh you didn't actually go through us since you bought it off the Dell Outlet store. So they transfer me.
The dell outlet store says they will be more than happy to swap me out to an Intel based machine.
Only catch is the Intels are more expensive. They don't have any for the price we paid for the amd's. Fot about $40 more I can get one with a slower processer, a gig less ram, no dvd writer, but with a 160gb hd. To get compatible to mine - would be about $150 more.
And they only have silver in the low end, and black or brown in the higher. Not that I really give a s@!t what the color is.. but it brings up the main reason I am sooo pissed abput all of this....
Why should I have to pay more money, settle on doing without option/features want/need.. just because THEY don't want to take the time to figure out what the real issue is?!?!?! Why isn't it them doing these calls and doing all this troubleshooting.. Why am I being peanilzed for THEM not wanting to do their jobs....
Told the B/F that I am done with Dell. That I don't want the laptop anymore and I don't want any other one from them. He says he'll pay the extra and get me the other one.. but that isn't the point....
Not sure what my next move is.

PHP script won't run in the background

Hi all
Hope someone can help me with a weird issue I have...
I am trying to run a php CLI script in the background and it just won't run - it has a status of Stopped SIGTOU (Trying to write output) - Here are the details
OS
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
PHP
PHP 5.3.6 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Sep 8 2011 19:34:00)
Copyright (c) 1997-2011 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2011 Zend Technologies
I created a basic script test.php
<?php echo 'Hello world'.PHP_EOL; ?>
Here are the results of various tests:-
Test 1) php -f test.php (Hello world gets displayed)
Test 2) php -f test.php >test.log 2>&1 (Hello world gets put into test.log)
Test 3) php -f test.php >test.log 2>&1 & --- I get [1]+ Stopped(SIGTTOU) php -f test.php > test.log 2>&1 -- and the job just sits there doing nothing nothing gets logged however lsof shows the log file is open
It has to be something to do with Apple's php build because a similar bash shell script gets executed no problems in the background...
This has me stumped ... any ideas? What can I do to find out what is going on ...?
TIA
Rich

Just realized your trying to load the php files by using the File->Open menu item in the Browser. That won;t work.
You have to load the php file by placing it in the Sites folder and entering http://localhost/file.php
(or if you have user Sites enabled http://localhost/~user/file.php)
The reason it is grayed out is that the browser doesn't run (or know of) php files. The web server runs those (via php) and the output of the file goes to the web browser.
This page How to enable Web Sharing in OS X Mountain Lion does a pretty good job of explaining it. (as does the user tip I lonked to before)

Script won't run unattended

I know very little about applescript, so please be gentle with me...
I have a script (written by someone else) which copies some folders to a flash drive (for offsite backups). It launches, mounts disks, clears the old files off of the flash drive, then does the copy. It is set to run at 2am. Every morning I come in, and the machine has an "Apple Event timeout" panel up, and the script has terminated without running the backup. I then double-click on the script and it runs flawlessly.
A couple of details...
After the script mounts disks, it puts up an alert panel that says "All drives are now mounted". That panel is set to time-out and for the script to continue if nobody clicks on the "ok" button.
If I am running interactively, and I sit there and watch the panel, then it times out after the allotted 15 seconds, and the script then copies just like it's supposed to. HOWEVER -- if I shift to another application (for example I select the Finder to go check on some other files), then I don't see the panel (of course) because my script doesn't have focus. But the little applescript icon jumps in the dock. If I sit there, not acting on the jumping icon, not bringing the script to front, then I get the "Applescript timed out" message and the script fails.
Does anybody recognize this problem and could you give me some ideas on how to fix it?

Well, it seems to me that the dialog serves no useful purpose, so I'd delete the line in the script that displays the dialog. It's a horrible user interface that interrupts the workflow to tell you everything's normal (or, at least, working as expected). Applications should warn/inform you of errors or unusual conditions.
If, for some reason, you want to keep the dialog then your best bet is to activate the application that's displaying the dialog. For example:
tell me
activate
display dialog "here's a really annoying dialog telling you everything's OK"
end tell
This will have the effect of bringing the script application frontmost before displaying the dialog, therefore overcoming the 'app in background' error you're running into. There's no trivial way, though, to set the focus back to the previous app, which just adds to the annoyingness of this pointless dialog.

Script won't run on machine w/MAC OSX Server 10.4.9

Why won't the following script work on a machine that is running MAC OSX Server 10.4.9. On Machines running Mac OS X 10.4.9 it works fine, but on my server machine it won't name the file as per the script--the menu dialog box pops ("save as") up asking for a file name.??
The only difference between the machines as far as I can tell is the OS.
Thanks.

VB Script won't run

I'm having an issue with an application that uses a VBscript to install
and hope someone can help me.
It will work fine regardless where I put if you double click it, it will
also work fine from a batch file if you double click the batch. It will
not run correctly from either the Application Launcher or the command
line. I have tried putting it in as a post launch script using the
wscript engine, from the run line, I have also tried to use the
cscript.exe all to no avail.
When it is run any way other than double clicking directly on the vbscript
or batch file you can see wscript.exe launch in the task manager but the
CPU stay hung at 50%. No errors it just hangs.
I put all the install files in the expected
directory "c:\windows\Temp\3rdParty" along with the script and batch
files. Below is the vb script, is there something in it causing this?
I also included the command line that I tried using, this is the same line
from the batch file. Also I have run other VBscripts from the command
line this way. Any thoughts?

Never mind found the problem. For some reason it was not searching the
path, had to put the path to the setting.txt file in the script explicitly.

Java script won't run

I had a very small script <a
href="javascript:window.close()" title="click here to close the
window">Close window</a>
running that would close a window when the user clicked on
the "Close window" button. It worked fine until I downloaded a
Dreamweaver extension program called "Well Rounded" which makes
rounded off boxes and windows. All of a sudden my script will not
longer work. I tried it on a new html fie, I tried rebooting.
Nothing works. I don't understand. Any help would be appreciated.

Doesn't make sense to me. Why would a visitor want to close
your home page? Assuming they do, why can't they just use the
browsers own close controls? Are you trying to hide the div? If
that's the case, the window.close() won't do that.

Photoshop CS3 installs but won't run on new OS install

Hello,
I've been searching through the forums and have seen some users with a similar problem, but haven't found any info that's relevant to my situation.
I have done a fresh install of Windows XP Pro SP2 and decided to install a brand-new copy of CS3 at the same time.
This computer is totally fresh - there are no printers, no TWAIN drivers, no funny fonts or games installed. The only software on this machine is Windows and whatever updates Windows Update has pushed out.
The Photoshop installer runs fine - no crashes or error messages. However, when I try to start up Photoshop, I just get the outer frame of the app window and (usually) the File / Edit / Image / Layer... menu bar. There is no splash screen, and no palettes appear. If I click anywhere in the app window, the menu bar disappears and the title bar says "Not responding".
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling from both the DVD and the web download. I've tried selecting the "repair" option on the install screen. I've tried downloading and installing the 10.0.1 update.
I tried installing Lightroom and Reader to see if those work (they do).
I tried installing the latest video driver for my gfx card.
None of these change the behaviour I've been seeing at all. I opened a support case with Adobe about 4 days ago but haven't gotten a response yet.
Any thoughts? I was able to run PS CS1 on this computer just fine before I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled everything, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
Thanks,
Thomas Park

Hi Guys,
Ive got the same problems as you, Win XP SP2 on RAID 1 hard disk set on an AMD raid controller, but I have no driver to roll-back to.
Ive installed Photoshop CS3 and also Acrobat Standard 8 (which used to run fine on an old system), but all i get now is the blank window with the menu and title bar and thats all.
Can some one help? (will this licensing patch resolve the issue - and where can i get it from?)
Thanks

Script won't run automatically

I use Image Capture to download photos from my camera. I have set it to run an Applescript after download to rename all the downloaded files. The Applescript icon appears briefly in the dock but nothing happens. I have inserted a display dialog at the beginning of the script but it doesn't display. I have wrapped the script in Try/on error, with a display on error, but nothing appears. The script runs perfectly when run manually.
Any suggestions?
AK

The script is begins with "on run" and ends with "end run". It is saved as an application.
When Image Browser starts with a camera connected (in fact it auto-starts because the camera is connected) in the top pane of its dialog box there are two pop-ups, one to select the target directory and the other to select post-processing. The latter has options such as preview, crop, fit ... and "Other". Selecting Other allows you to browse to an application, in my case the saved script. Underneath this pop-up is written "occurs after downloading".
The pictures transfer, the AS icon appears in the dock and bounces a couple of times then goes away again without having done anything. I have just tried it with a couple of pictures, and get the impression that its appearance in the dock was shorter than last time I ran it, when there were 120 pictures in the download folder. This suggests (if true) that it is iterating through the files in the directory.
In case anyone can spot something stupid I'll paste the script below - but it works stand-alone.

ITunes 9.0.2 installation program won't run

I've been trying to upgrade iTunes for 2 days now but to no avail. I even uninstalled its v9.0.1.,and did another Windows Updating check. After downloading iTunesSetup file (v9.0.2.25), tried to run/open it but this prompt came out: " Security Warning Windows has found a problem with this file Name: iTunesSetup.exe Publisher: Unknown Publisher The file was blocked because it does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher." I tried scanning it with the antivirus program, the result came out with this message: " This file is signed with a broken signature issued by: Apple, Inc." I need help, please....

Downloaded the setup file using Firefox. Located the file using Windows Explorer. Ran/opened the installation program but at the STATUS: COPYING NEW FILES this prompt appeared: "The cabinet files 'iTunes.cab'required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-Rom, or a problem with this package."
Hmmmmm. So, it's looking like something damaging the installers on the way down to your PC. On IE it manifests as digital signature issues ... with Firefox it's just a damaged installer.
Okay, experimental advice but it will do no harm. Although the following document is for a different sort of error, try the advice in it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1814
(If the box is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it.)
After that, can any of your browsers download an undamaged installer?

ILife 06 installation disc won't run/error message

Hi,
a few months ago we bought a macbook which came with iLife 06. The installation disc for iLife says good for 5 computers in the same household. When I try to install if on our older G4, (running 10.4.8), I put the disc in and I get the following error message when I click on the iLife 06 icon:
"there is no default application specified to open the object "iLife 06"
I've tried repairing permissions, but same thing. Not sure where to go from here...any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
meganou
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The readme on the install disc says PPC or Intel-based
That answers that query.
Am I in the right forum..?
This is as good as any, since there isn't a dedicated forum to iLife installatiion probems.
Since you get the same result in a new admin account, you might consider reinstalling the latest COMBO update for your machine, restarting, repairing permissions with Disk Utility, and trying again. Report back.

Automator shell script won't run

Hi,
I'm putting together a little Automator app that opens whenever I double-click on an .exe file and opens that file with wine. So far, however, I've had little luck. I've created a shell script automator app with the following script:
for f in "$@"
do
/usr/local/bin/wine "$f" &
done
Outside of Automator the script works just fine. However, as an Automator app it doesn't work at all; nothing happens, even though Automator tells me that that the workflow was successfully completely. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Alex

Automator uses /bin/bash as the shell.
Running your script interactive has a different environment from running under Automator. For one thing, stdin/stdout/stderr are pointing to a tty (actually a pseudo device /dev/pty). Perhaps this is affecting how Wine us behaving.
Other issues might be where your current working directory is located, or some environment variable (such as PATH) that is not the same under Automator that exists when running interactively.
You might try capturing things like
( printenv
pwd
id -a
echo "\$# $#"
) >/tmp/automator.environment

Script won't run from the Desktop

I have a bash script that says something ordinary:
#!/bin/bash
/Applications/synergy/synergys -f --config /Applications/synergy/synergy.conf
exit 0
It is associated with the Smultron editor and I want it to run in a terminal (or invisibly) when I click a desktop icon. Now it is just displayed by Smultron.
When I try to change 'Open with:' to 'Terminal' it says 'you don't have privileges to change the application to this document only. Do you want to change all your Smultron.app doc.s to open with application 'Terminal.app'? I continue and ...nothing happens.
ls -al synergys.sh gives
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 chrism admin 70 30 May 2008 synergyc.sh
How do I get the ** script to run when clicked, please?

I've never seen an erro like you getting about not being able to change the default app for just this file. try rebuilding your launch services database. run this in terminal
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
and try changing the default app again. you should certainly be able to assign terminal to open this file or all .sh files.

when i mannually run them they run fine they do they copy everything that there ment to
i would like to able add the login scripts useing the gpo so i can control them easier
any help would be very much appreciated
and if you need any more info please just ask

If the script runs manually this shouldnt be an issue
you have probably set the GPO up incorrectly for that see this
http://www.petri.com/setting-up-logon-script-through-gpo-windows-server-2008.htm
How and where did you link the created GPO? does gpresult show an applied gpo?
