Installing leopard, error : cannot install software on this computer
hi
i have a macbook 13 inch, new, it's been one month bought it.
i have tiger 10.4.11 and i want to upgrade to leopard.
i had this install disk ( leopard 10.5).
the problem is that, while installing, when i choose the language, an error pop up saying:" cannot install software on this computer"
i have an intel macbook of course
plz help
thx
Most of the problems I see of this nature are being caused by people trying to use a "Drop-In" upgrade DVD that was designed for a specific machine.
The problem is that some people think they can run any 'friends' upgrade DVD to upgrade their Mac also.
If this is what's happening, and your computer is really only a month old, then you probably qualify for some type of upgrade from Apple. Or you will have to buy a retail version of Leopard to upgrade your machine.

Cannot install OSX on This Computer
I intend to sell my iMac as i have already bought a new one.
In order to erase all my private data I have tried to reinstall Leopard on my old iMac. This is not as easy as i thought.
After inserting the Install DVD disk into the iMac en starting up pressing down the letter C, I select the language to be installed, after that all i get is the error message :
*Cannot install OSX on This Computer*
I have no idea what i do wrong. I even tried to format the disk using the disk utility, dough with little succes. The error still come up.
I could really use some help.
By the way, I have of course searched through other topics for a similar problem, I could not find anything that helped me solve my problem.this error is typical when you are trying to use a wrong leopard install disk. are you using an install disk that came with a different computer? if so that won't work as such disks are hardware specific and will produce the kind of error you are seeing. you need to use a retail copy of leopard or the install disk that originally came with this computer (if the computer came with leopard).

when i try to download iphoto ( wich was already pre installed when i bought my MacBookPro) it says "These apps cannot be accepted on this computer." HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)Hey there! So, I already contacted Mac App Store support several times, the response:
- "Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
Thank you for your patience. Apple wants your iTunes experience to be as enjoyable as possible"
I answered I really needed it, and if they knew the estimated time it would take to solve the issue. Here's the last response.
- "According to your previous correspondence, you have not been able to install iLife after reinstalling OS X Lion. I understand that this issue is under investigation, and that you would like to know the amount of time needed to find a resolution. As a fellow iTunes customer, I certainly understand that you need to use iPhoto for professional reasons, and I'll gladly help you to resolve this problem.
Unfortunately, I am unable to give you the exact amount of time this issue could take. I do assure you that our engineers are currently working towards a resolution. "
I'm going to an Apple Sotre Genius today, in 2 hours. I'll keep updated!! -
After re installing OS x I got following information as I want install IPhoto. These apps cannot be accepted on this computer.
The answer was authorization codes. It took three phone calls, several emails to Apple Tech support (after I purchased the $160 applecare plan) to get them. Note, I had to call back after four days, the first Senior Advisor simply disappeared and refused to respond to emails or phone calls. The next Senior advisor spent the weekend looking for the first advisor, then scheduled a phone call to tell me he would begin looking at the issue. When I asked he specficially discounted the authorization codes:
"I don't know if issuing a redeem code for iPhoto is an appropriate resolution for your issue. Since, I don't have the ability to issue any redeem codes for the Mac App Store, I am still waiting to hear back from Sean, the previous agent you were working with, regarding any status he has about your issue."
Three days after that...here are your codes. Note a restart is necessary to properly get the iLife apps to update, now through the App Store.
Also, this is the second issue where I have lost contact with a Senior Advisor and had to restart the process. Standard procedure? -
I have a MBP form July 2011, upgraded to Lion 10.7.4. Last week I had to restore the OS.
I also bought some time ago Iphoto.
Today I wanted to install Imovie from App Store. Instead of the Buy bottom I found an Accept bottom and when I tryed to install I had the message:
These apps cannot be accepted on this computer.
Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update.
I looked for a solution and found a lot of questions about this error but not real answers to fix it.
Can you please let me know hoe to fix?Your Mac should have had all three of the iLife apps pre-bundled with it; iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. If your Mac came with Mac OS X Snow Leopard installed, then the apps should be on the Install DVD that came with your Mac, perhaps in a folder on the disc labeled bundled apps. After installing them, these apps would not be updated through the Mac App Store, but with Software Update.

These apps cannot be accepted on this computer error
I am trying to update iPhoto and iMovie from versions 9.3 (iPhoto) and 9.0.5 (iMovie) to iPhoto 9.4.3 and iMovie 9.0.9. I keep on getting an error message that reads "These apps cannot be accepted on this computer. Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update." Well, software update just launches the App store. I have done extensive searching on forums and tried to delete the apps and run the updater like suggested, but it still does not work. There is also no option to "Accept" the applications in the Mac App Store.
I am running the latest version of OSX (10.8.4) and have never had problens updating before. I have a mid 2009 15' MBP and have been the only owner. My laptop came with iLife '09 and, as the very rude guy from apple support pointed out, I have never purchased iLife 11.. but have somehow been allowed to update through software update and the Mac App store (have never pirated the software, as the Apple tech suggested). I guess my question to you is:
1. Why is it suddenly giving me problems when I try and update the software and 2. How am I supposed to buy the software if I am only given the option to "Update." I would also love to know how I've been able to keep updating for this long without having to pay for iLife '11.
Thanks for your help.
CoreyThere are problems with some of what you describe. iLife '09 was not Mac App Store (MAS) software. iLife '11 originally was also not MAS software. iLife '11 is a major paid upgrade from iLife '09 and Software Update (SU) would not have upgraded your iLife '09 to iLife '11.
iLife '11 did not transition to the MAS until after the MAS was issued to the public as beta software for OS X 10.6.6 in JAN 2011. After that, Apple began phasing boxed software out of their stores as the supply ran out and iLife was issued as 3 individual apps for $14.99; iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand, sold only in the MAS. The MAS cannot update the original boxed version of iLife '11. Those apps can only be updated through SU.
So the part of your story that doesn't work is how you got from iLife '09 to iLife '11. You did not get there through SU. And if the MAS is reporting that those apps must be updated through SU, they would be the original, none-MAS versions that came preinstalled on new Macs or as boxed software. Could you have transfered these iLife '11 apps from another Mac? A Mac that is newer than your own and would have had the boxed set versions of iLife '11 preinstalled? -
Big Brother?? Companies installing software into your computer from afar??
I was on the phone today with a video camera company (tech support likely outsourced to overseas). I was having trouble with their videos displaying on my computer.
They asked me for my permission to install software on my computer!!
How is it possible for them to do that from elsewhere?
They are a big name, legit company... but if they can do it with my permission, who can do it without it?
Appreciate any insights on this.
I, of course, refused.You'd have to open the gate for them to install it first off.
That's why you have settings in Apple menu -> System preferences -> Sharing -> Firewall.
As for trouble displaying videos, many companies like to rely on Windows Media videos which can be viewed if you add http://www.flip4mac.com/
Nobody can install software without your permission unless you deliberately open the gate for them to do it. -
Having SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 I attempted to do a pretty simple task.
Create a capture media for Windows 8 64 Bit and capture the OS.
The system in question is a Dell Latitude 6430u and OEM Windows 8.
The system ran as expected, the capture went as expected, but when I deploy the image (Back to the same laptop mind you)
The following occurs:
Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation.
Things that I've tried:
Set the SATA to various modes as it was on RAID on as speculated in some posts
Saw a posting that suggests pressing SHIFT F-10 to get in to some prompt and run oobe; doesn't work here, I think.
Added Dell Driver Packs for the system
As for log files, I'll check C:\Windows\Panther and see what's there.
Any ideas on how to correct this? Is there a way to go in to the image itself to do so?Sorry, I'm not using CM2007, but CM 2012 SP1, CU3.
I went through the smsts log and found several instances where drivers were missing so I'm guessing that's why it pitched a wobbly about not being a suitable system for the Windows setup.

Which doesn't make sense since the image that I am trying to put on the system is the one I took it from. Before putting the image out I went to Dell's web site and got the Windows 8 drivers for the system and distributed them as I usually do.
I got the drivers from here -
http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/w/wiki/4372.latitude-6430u-windows-8-driver-cab.aspx
What I don't get is that I can take the Windows 8 install.wim and do an OSD task with it and there is no issue with drivers.
One other thing here is the log from the windows\panther folder:
