Installing 10.6 continually fails?
I have a Imac with a Intel core 2 duo with 4g of ram and running 10.5.8. I insert the Snow Leopard disc and run the update. It seems as if all is well. it makes it's apple noise when it is done and restarts. Then I check to see the "about this computer" ro see what operating system is running and it is still 10.5.8!
Please help???
thanks
Yes:
1. Insert the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD into your computer and wait for it to appear on the desktop. We are relying on your representation that it is a genuine Apple retail Snow Leopard install DVD.
Have you used it previously to install Snow Leopard or is it brand new, fresh from Apple? If it has been used previously, this raises issues of damage to this disc, which would require you to call Apple and obtain a replacement (only about $3 less than purchasing a brand new disc. For the extra $3, purchasing a brand new disc would entitle you to a license for a second installation, if you have previously installed SL from the other disc once before).
2. Once it is on the desktop, pull down your Apple Menu to Restart and when you hear the Mac chime, hold down both the Command and C keys (use two hands) until you see a desktop color starting to appear and then you can let go.
3. At this point you should then be taken to the proper beginning of installing Snow Leopard. However, again, damage to the Install disc can still leave it uninstalled when the process has completed.
GOOD LUCK & let us know your progress!

Why does PSE 12 installation continually fail?
Despite repeated attempts with Adobe Support, I am unable to get PSE 12 installed due to "Shared Technologies" installation failure. After 20-30 minutes of attempting an install, I receive an error message saying that Shared Technologies has failed to install and a full uninstall is required (another 15-20 minutes). I find nothing in the PSE installation log files, I have tried everything (I do mean absolutely everything) suggested in the forums, support, knowledgebase and/or what Adobe Support has suggested (which really hasn't been sub-par). I even provided Adobe Support my log files and - in response - they told me to uninstall "Bit Defender" anti-virus (which I do not have nor have I ever had on my machine). Anyone else have their PSE 12 installation continually fail?
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I’m not sure what exactly you mean by “removing the bits” in-between times but I have removed the installation and OOBE folders (after renaming them didn’t help either). As recommended in a forum or by Support, I created a root-level folder (c:
PSE12_Install), saved the installation file(s) to that folder and ran “As Administrator” the EXE from that location. I tried that three (3) different times and each time I deleted the folder and OOBE folder. I restart each time plus I run ccleaner.exe to make certain there is no legacy registry entries or undeleted files. -
My home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2.
my home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2, even during watching a movie. I go to the mac to re-turn on home sharing but it is still on. Any tips? I also have to turn off and back on at the mac every time i switch on my apple tv.
Sharing Stopped working again over night.
I went to Apple Support Artical TS2972
As soon as I did this Home Sharing started working
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
Firewall Section
5. Check Firewall Settings
If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
Block all incoming connections
Allow only essential services
If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
It made sense to me, but its still puzzling me after restarting a router would (in my first attempt) resolve the issue for a day. This this time I applied the port forwarding TCP and UDP ports and saved the settings in the DLink DIR-655 and both my iPad2 and iPhone 3GS were now again finding the share. My ATV2 is also now accepting the Share.
Tommorrow will be the true test. -
Numerous attempts at a clean install of iTunes have failed. I am running Win7 64 bit on a Toshiba L series Satellite w/8G RAM and 100 G HDD space. Error message was (-42404), but following a complete (recommended) uninstall am now getting "Error 7". The prior uninstall included the establishment of administrator rights to files and folders left in the Apple folder after running the uninstaller, and successfully removing ALL visible and hidden Apple files and folders.
Any other suggestions out there folks?On Oracle Metalink site, there are many documents which says that Oracle 32 bit software works on 32 bits OS and 64 bits software works on 64 bits OS. Official support is only in those combination....
So there is no good way to help you in your case-XE is 32 bit application with hard codded compiled libraries which most of them would not work on 64 bit OS.

Install of Flash 10 failing - "run preflight script" - Mac OS X 10.5.6
I tried to install Flash 10 - and it asks me to close the "Dashboard Client" of Mac OS X and after I click close on the flash install window, the installation fails. A message says that the failure occurs during "run preflight script" and to contact the software developer.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any fixes or way around it?!Got the problem as well, a little bit frustrating, i have the problem with BOTH flash 10 and photoshop elements 3 why isn't adobe willing to help us? I think this is quite dissapointing when you take into account the software costs ±$100 I also have Mac OSX 10.5.7

IMac upgrade from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks errors by failing to restart computer........after install message states that "your computer is restarting in x seconds"...then window appears that "application install OS x Mavericks failed to quit"...try to log out again, quit install OS x Mavericks and choose apple menu to log out...........this does not work!
Are you running OS X Server (the forum this question was posted in), or are you running OS X? If you're not sure what that difference is and why I'm asking it, then you're probably running OS X and are very likely not running OS X Server here.
Hopefully you have a pre-upgrade backup of your data, on the off chance something has either already gone badly wrong already, or if something goes wrong with the following...
To force the quit here and to force the shutdown here, press and hold the power button for ~10 seconds.
If you don't have a backup already and if the box doesn't reboot, then you'll want to boot from the 10.6 DVD (of OS X or OS X Server) and create a backup — it won't be a particularly good backup of the OS X or OS X Server system, but at least you'll have access to your own files and related data. This backup because recovering from a badly-failed upgrade might involve reinstalling OS X. -

"extension cannot be installed because licensing verification failed"
Hi everyone,
I have the Adobe Photography plan for Photoshop CC, and it works perfectly fine, it will open and close normally, but when i try to install an extension, it will give me this error message: "extension cannot be installed because licensing verification failed". Please help. Much appreciated!!Is your extension directly downloaded from https://creative.adobe.com/addons
If yes, Please click "Tools"->"Preferences" menu item in Extension Manager, check "Enable detailed logging" option. Restart Extension Manager. Try to install the extension. After error message promopt, send the log files under "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CC\Log" (Windows) or "/Users/<YourUserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log" (Mac) folder to [email protected] -

Can't install CC package after failed initial installation - Mac OS X
Hi,
Recently my institution took the plunge and made the move to adopt Creative Cloud. As part of the switchover from CS5, I'm being used as one of the guinea pigs.
Upon first-time installation of the provided Creative Cloud package (which has installed correctly for others in my office), my iMac shut down, this obviously interrupting the installation. After restarting I Googled what to do and found forum entries on what files to remove (as there were some left over form the first installation) and followed them.
Unfortunately, when I try to install the package it fails with a generic message, and nothing is installed. I also can't run the uninstaller (same error).
Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated!Correct diagnosis. When I went back and downloaded the PowerPC version, it worked fine. The Intel version works fine on my MacBook Pro, too!

Creative Cloud Application Continually Fails
The Adobe Cloud application on both my Windows 8.1 and 7 operating systems continually fails. I only use Photoshop CC (2014), bridge, and camera raw. I can get the Creative Cloud app working again by renaming the OOBE file as suggested then next time I sign on its failed. Very frustrating problem when you wish to receive updates and syn settings. This seems to be an endemic problem with many users. Is this wide spread and is Adobe doing something about it? Does having CS6 active have any thing to do with the problem?

Assembled 07 December 2005This patch has been obsoleted by 118833-24. Can you
install the later revision and let us know if you see
the same problems?turning back to the problem of 118833+zones: if I try to install the -24 or -23 in milestone single-user I have the old problem: pkgadd: ERROR: unable to create unique temporary file </etc/fs/nfs/mount5Ia4ty>: (30) Read-only file system in the zones. I assume, the patchadd starts the zones and not waits until the zone is online. On the old slow hardware it can bring this error message and, at least, the /etc/fs/nfs/mount will not be updated.
The workaround is not to install this patch automatically, start zones with boot -s, wait, until they are ready and then apply this patch. It's probably not very bad idea to start all active zones first and then apply patches. It spares time on slow and not very slow systems.
