Installing 10.4.11 combo

I'm currently at 10.4.3. Have been trying to update using 10.4.11 combo for pc. Download goes ok, verification ok, and I start the installer. When it gets to where I choose the destination disk there is no image in the appropriate rectangle and the continue button is grey! I've tried downloading multiple times. No difference. Any suggestions?

Download and instal 10.5.6 combo as a way to remove 10.5.7 update?

Since downloading 10.5.7 upgrade my modem constantly disconnects and then goes through process of reconnecting; while I sit, twiddle thumbs .... then curse, and curse some more. Can I get rid of 10.5.7 by installing 10.5.6 combo or will I visit even greater troubles upon myself?
If it's possible to revert to 10.5.6 I'd prefer to do that than go through an extended process of try this, try that ... to correct problem with 10.5.7.
Here I sit twiddling thumbs while I wait for modem to reconnect AGAIN .........

Thank you for the helpful replies.
I reinstalled Leopard (via archive and install option) from the DVD and downloaded and installed 10.5.6 combo. BLISS - my modem now works normally, which confirms the problem was due to 10.5.7.
At initial inspection all my files appear to be where they were and intact. Is there any reason why I should keep the 'Previous Systems' folder that is now (I presume unnecessarily) taking up space on the HD?
I found this comment in the topic 'Don't install 10.5.7':
" I would recommend that anyone wanting to upgrade, clone their OS and update the clone. If it works, good. If not, time for trouble-shooting on the clone until the problems is solved."
Another suggestion in this and other threads that I have read suggests that it is better to download and install combo updates from Apple than to install the Software Update version.
In the same topic zichi states: "I used my Time Machine and went back to using 10.5.6 and guess what, all the problems went away!"
I'm not using Time machine but I gather that is another way to revert to 10.5.6.

20 inch Aluminum iMac crashes after installing Mac OS X Combo Update 10.5.6

I have a school lab with 22 of the new 20 inch Aluminum iMacs. They all have been having a problem with crashing after someone logs onto my network server, which is still running the 10.4 Tiger version of the Apple server. They run fine if you boot up and log on as a local user, and they seem to run fine when you boot up and log on to with a server account, but when you log off from the server, about five seconds later while the aurora screen is still showing, they crash and give you the Apple version of the "blue screen of death."
I was told that the fix was to download the combo update separately from the Apple website and use that to reinstall and update the operating system.
I downloaded and tried installing with a 10.5.6.dmg file and a 10.5.6.dmg.smi file, but they both crashed.
Where can I find the "fixed" version of this update or is there some other fix?
I have tested this on 9 or 10 different systems.
The first file was MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.6.dmg, which is a disk image file that is 668.8 MB or 684,774 KB.
I looked in the discussion groups on the Apple web site and found some discussions for problems that seemed similar to, but not quite the same as my own. They led me to a file MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.6.dmg.smi, which a self mounting image file that is also 668.8 MB. I tried it and got the same result.
I can install my dvd, which gives me 10.5.1, which will log off and reboot correctly.
I can then install several miscellaneous upgrades:
Pro Apps Update 2006-02 V1.0
AirPort Utility V5.3.2
Remote Desktop Client V3.2.2
QuickTime V7.6
iTunes V8.0.2
and also
Front Row V2.1.6
The system will then log onto the network, log off and reboot correctly.
But, when I install the 10.5.6 combo update from any of my sources, it boots and logs on fine. But, if I log onto the network, it crashes when I log off.
Where do I go from here?
Thanks for your help.

Have you tried starting up with your install disk and doing a disk repair?
Put the install disk that came with the Mac in the DVD/CD drive and restart holding down the 'C' key. You can take your finger off once you hear it making noises from the DVD/CD drive. You'll be presented with a screen where you choose your language. At the next screen on the menu bar select Utilities>Disk Utility you then select your Macintosh HD on the left and click on 'repair disk'. If it makes any changes click on 'repair disk' again and repeat the process until you get a clean pass. Once done select restart from the Apple menu and hopefully the Mac will boot normally.

Unable to install 10.10.2 Combo Update

I am running OS X 10.10 on a Mac Pro with a RAID 5 set up. I have two RAID volumes. One for the OS/Apps and one for Data/Content.
I am unable to install to the RAID volume. See attached screen shot:
Any ideas what the issue is? Thanks.

Installing 10.4.9 combo update

hi,
nice to be here as a newbie...
i'm trying to install 10.4.9 as a combo update (can't use software updater cos running pro tools, etc). download of pkg file is ok, but when i run the installer it hits an error half way through downloading and stops.
only reason i can think of is that i started installing it through software updater a few months ago but stopped halfway through the process. so i'm wondering whether there's half a malformed update somewhere on my system that's preventing the shiny new combo update from installing properly.
any ideas? if that sounds likely, no idea how to fix it or where to look for and delete half-downloaded files...
thanks in advance,
nick

*…can't use software updater cos running pro tools, etc.*
AFAIK, that shouldn't preclude using Software Update.
*download of pkg file is ok, but when i run the installer it hits an error half way through downloading and stops*
That's confusing. First, you say the download was OK, then you say that you run the installer and the download halts. If you've downloaded the install package, then installing it shouldn't require any downloading.
*…I'm wondering whether there's half a malformed update somewhere on my system*
Possibly. What's in your download folder? If the package is there, delete it, and download it again. Also consider installing the 10.4.10 COMBO update, instead. You should also check your /Library/Receipts/ folder for MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.9PPC.pkg. If it exists, delete it and try reinstalling.
BTW, you mentioned being a newbie. Is that to using Macs? If so, see my post at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5125089 which points to transition documents.

Trouble installing 10.4.3 combo update

I'm trying to install the 10.4.3 combo update on my G5. My HD has the exclamation point over it & I get the "You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this drive" message.
I read some previous posts and I made sure I downloaded the correct update - not the 10.4.3 Server update. I haven't made any modifications to my system and I don't have any anit-virus software.
Help!
Diane
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4)

Here is the update you want:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1043combo.html
Make sure to repair permissions with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility before and after.
Dismount and disconnect any third party peripherals you have before updating.
If it doesn't work, try creating a secondary user in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts with Admin access and logging in to it to see if the update doesn't like something installed in the current user.

Error when installing 10.6.3 Combo update

Hi,
I wondered if anyone can help me. I have Snow Leopard running on my new this year iMac 21". Software Update had been working fine until April when the 10.6.3 update came out. The update downloaded but when it tries to install it Validates and then Writes to disk, but then when the progress bar is about a half of the way across I get an error saying that it could not install. "The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." I have tried this several times with exactly the same message. I have tried downloading the update manually and installing from Mac OS but I get the same error message just in a nicer Application Install window!
Any suggestions?

I hope you have a valid back-up or even better a Time Machine back-up. One of my friends reported what sounds like Identical issues with the Install stopping. He was told he will need to do an erase and install, and then restore his documents and Apps by a Senior Tech on their help line. Good luck!
Oh and 10.6.4 was released last Wednesday 6/16/10.

HT4561 Has anyone had trouble updating from 10.6 install discs to the combo 10.6.8 v1.1 using software update?

I've been having all manner of issues with my system, seemingly out of the blue. I just had a third party install a new HDD for me, and I used my snow leopard install disc (the one I bought many years ago, right after it launched), and when I tried to run the software update and install four updates all together, I got a notice that the file didn't download properly and may be corrupted. I'm wondering if this could have caused my system crash after the last clean install.
I'm downloading manually instead of using whatever is in software update just to be safe this time, but I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience?

It's interesting that you were connected via ethernet yet still had a similar issue. I wonder if perhaps our hardware issues that prompted the clean install may have been similar?
When I attempted to run software update again, it seemed to think that it had completed the download for the 10.6.8.v1.1 update, even though it listed it at over 1Gig, and had "completed" after mere seconds. I know my wifi setup isn't THAT good, and even if it were, I've never seen a wireless connection allow for download speeds of that magnitude.
I wonder if there is something missing from the original install discs that causes trouble with network connectivity? This is conjecture, I really don't have a solid working knowledge of the Mac OS X network tools. When i downloaded the intaller package from the website it seemed to resolve all my issues.
My clean install was done on a brand new HDD with a new partition, my unit seems to be functioning normally (for) now. Fingers crossed...I'm a teacher and my system crashed the day before labour day, taking with it a LOT of things I had prepared, and not backed up due to my foolish weekly backup schedule on Time Machine.
Thanks all for the suggestions and the help, interesting things to discuss!

Can't install v10.4.9 (Combo; PPC) over v10.4.10 .

I have a Titanium Powerbook G4. When I tried to revert to 10.4.9 from 10.4.10, I got the 10.4.9 installation message: "This volume does not meet (minimum) specifications for this install".
I had v10.4.9 on this machine before !

I've tried the clone 2 different ways on my Mac:

2) Disk Utility's "Restore", which I was later told by LaCie, was not the way to go.
Both produced the nasty font problem on the external drive's clone.
I have a 667Mhz Mac (yes, I know it is time to get a new one, but I probably can't buy one right now).
That is why it takes Intego PB a total of 5-6 hours.
I have not tried Super-duper, nor Carbon Copy cloner.
I really do not think that backing up or restoring can corrupt a font. If that were the case a lot more people would be reporting similar problems. Maybe if the font is already damaged, maybe if your internal drive has directory or permissions errors, maybe if the external drive has directory errors.
Reverting to an earlier OS is not going to solve it. The LaCie tech support dude doesn't know what he is talking about!

Installed 106.3 with Combo Update but Mail won't open at all

Never saw this happen before. Mail.app won't open. Anyone else seeing this?

Exactly the same problem here. I ended up using a TC Restore and even then had to reload 10.6 from DVD, download 10.6.1 and then 10.6.2.
I won't be going down the 10.6.3 route again! I need Mail to run!
Has Apple shot itself in the foot?
Kind Regards

After installing 10.4.4 combo

After the upgrade, I now get the following errors when starting to mac:
error - could not load login file
the application Diagnostics quit unexpectedly
Norton anti virus failed to load (I don't think they've updated to Tiger.
Any suggestions how to fix the first 2?
Many thanks - Bruce

"error - could not load login file"
Does this also refer to Norton?
The general advice here seems to be that Norton Utilities should not be used on a Mac any more.
The jury is still out on whether Norton AV should be used, many saying no, Dr Smoke amognst others saying yes. Although I don't use Norton at all, my advice would be to run the uninstaller for everything Norton, then, if you can, upgrade the AV to its Tiger compatible version.
Have fun!

How best to install an Ethernet/AirPort combo on extended network TC?

I have replaced my 1st generation TC with a 4th generation model. While this swap worked, I am left with a few lingering questions.
1. I reconfigured the 1st generation TC to extend the AirPort network. However, when I plug an Ethernet cable input into the unit at the extended point, my wireless network goes ker-flooie. Why is this? (An output cable, standing alone from the TC, works fine; only the input causes difficulties. But I am, of course, with this configuration only extending AirPort, not the faster Ethernet network.)
2. In setting up my remote computer(s) should I choose "AirPort" or "AirPort 5Hz"?
My setup:
One Mac mini upstairs is attached to the new TC. No issues there.
Another Mac mini downstairs is attached via over-the-roof cabling to the TC via the home Ethernet system. No issues there either.
An iMac at a remote location finds the Internet through AirPort. It is in close proxmity to an AE that also extends the network. (This unit achieves faster response times after I connected an Ethernet cable between the AE and the unit, thereby creating two IP addresses at this point on the network.) That where the problem occurs whenever I connect the extended TC to the Ethernet.
I would like to use the three unpopulated Ethernet slots on the old (remote) TC extender to connect to a AV-based music and video system.

Connecting devices to "extend" using wireless only always imposes an overhead bandwidth penalty since the "extending" device must receive the wireless signal and then re-broadcast it.
By the time the extending device receives the wireless signal, the bandwith has usually fallen off quite a bit, since this occurs with distance and any obstructions in the signal path.
Let's say you have a pretty good wireless signal where the extending device is located, and of the 130 Mpbs bandwidth available near the router, maybe 80-90 Mbps is present at the extedning location. That is what gets "extended", plus there is always some loss as well.
Connecting using Ethernet is always the best option in terms of performance because the network bandwidth is preserved over Ethernet...up to 300+ feet with virtually no loss. That's the way any decent commercial network with multiple wireless access points would be designed.

Problems installing Logitech wireless combo

I cannot install a Logitech wirless combo mk270r on my HP Pavilion DM-1. The HP recognises the transceiver but fails (many times!) to install the driver, telling me to contact the device manufacturer. The Logitech works properly on other pcs, so presumably the problem lies with the HP. The Device Manager recognises that the driver is missing, but cannot fix it. Any suggestions?

I really apologize Jamo, I misunderstood what you were installing. The wireless adapter doesnt have anything to do with a keyboard combo. That will teach me to pay more attention. Your keyboard combo is not installing when you plug in the dongle, correct? With the dongle plugged in, go back to the Device Manager and see if there is a yellow caution sign next to one of the USB devices under Universal Serial Bus Controllers down at the bottom.IF there is, right click on that one and click Uninstall.Restart the computer. IF the dongle still does not install the driver, go back to the Device Manger again but this time unplug the dongle first
1. Right click Computer and click on Properties. In the System window on the left side, click on Advanced System Properties.
Choose the Advanced tab and click on Environment Variables… button at the bottom.
Under System Variables, click on the New… button
Type this in the box that pops up. Variable Name: devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices and also give the Variable Value: 1
Click OK on all the open windows to close them out.
Go to Computer Management again and click on Device Manager. Go to View at the top of the window and click on Show Hidden Devices.
Click on the drop down arrow for Universal Serial Bus Controllers to open the list. Look for any USB Device that is hidden (greyed out) and delete it. There may be several and it’s ok to delete all those hidden USB Devices. They will install again as they get connected next time.
When you connect the dongle to the computer again, give it a minute to reinstall the driver.

Combo Drive Not Reading Install DVD

I just purchased OS X (10.4) to upgrade from OS X (10.2.x). When I put the install DVD in the combo drive I received a dialog box telling me Ive inserted a blank DVD and what would I like to do with it. Movie DVDs work fine as well as all music CDs.
Any thoughts?

CJH9,
So much so that Apple offers a "Tiger Media Exchange?" For $10.00 MORE dollars, Apple will exchange the Install DVD for Install CDs.
This Media Exchange Program on here has always been recommended to people who have "supported" machines with no DVD drive. While I see no reason you couldn't use it for a drive whose DVD booting capability has been compromised.
However, since I don't work for Apple, I don't hazard to guess Apple's policy on the matter. I might add, Norton Utilities may have ruined your machines ability to boot from all the media it normally could have, because it might have caused damaged to your BootX file on the hard disk which controls its ability to boot from the internal optical drive. I've seen similar problems with booting Jaguar and Panther disks after someone inadvertantly caused their entire hard drive's permissions to become 777 with Batchmod. This naturally gave the wrong permissions to the BootX file and made it impossible to boot off the internal drive. Only booting from an external optical drive let them reinstall the operating system.
My suggestion is to backup your data (if you can't backup your data because it has become inaccessible use Data Rescue and an external Firewire hard drive to recover information), then repair the directory with Disk Utility, and/or Alsoft Disk Warrior, and make sure the permissions are good by repairing permissions from Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility. If that doesn't fix the issue boot off the 10.2 installer CD and erase the internal with a zero format, and then try installing Tiger. You could connect the machine using Target Disk Mode to your other machine to get some of this work done:
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n58583
Those are several work arounds this issue with the BootX which it sounds like you have gotten into. Hopefully one of these works for you.
