Installing optional install problem.

I tried to reinstall all the printer drivers from the mac os x install disc using optional install. I get to the screen where i am to check what I want installed "printer drivers" but it will not let me check anything, any help appreciated.

Without proper system information and other technical details nobody can tell you much.

  • Optional install problem

    i accidentally deleted my ichat 4 (the entire application. and i cant find it in my time machine).
    i tried to do an optional install with my applications disc, but it only enables me to install bundle software instead of just the one application i need. then when i try to just select a part of the bundle, ichat is not in the bundle (but imovie, garageband, and idvd are).
    help?

    Hi,
    When you have inserted the Disk you may also have to expand the window to see the Optional Installs Folder.
    From inside there you click on Optional Installs.mpkg
    After doing that and before Running iChat Download and Install the COMBO version of the  Last OS  X Update you did.

  • Blue screen appears & Information about Archive & Install option.

    Hey, i am using Mac 10.5.8
    Yesterday it was working perfectly fine.
    But after dinner when i tried to open, it dont go beyond blue screen
    I have tried disk utility using original MAC OS X DVD, while verifying it says disk appears to be ok, but its says some alterations in disk pernission, i have clicked on repaire disk permission, and after that tried to start, but still it stuck at that blue screen.
    Its getting that grey apple screen, then further going to that blue scren, but dont go beyond that.
    Now i want to know if anyone have solution to this problem. Please help me
    Also want to know, if i go for "Archive & Install " option, will that keep my data or erase my data. As i have arround 2-4 GB important data.
    Please respond to this as soon as possible, i need it to be fixed urgently.
    Thanks in advance.

    Once the system is up and running, you should keep a back up of very important data.
    You can burn a DVD.
    That is why i am asking, will archieve and install keep my data safe?? All my documents and all??
    Normally data should be safe after Archive and Install.
    That is my experience. But there is no guarantee.
    Best.

  • C5100 all in one install option missing

    I am running Windows 8, 32 bit.
    So the printer has been buggy and I decided to uninstall and re-install it. As I was uninstalling it I was also downloading some files. After I reinstalled the c5100 all in one package from the website I ran the installation. However, it said I did not have enough memory to complete the installation. It suggested to delete some files and then eject and close the cd drive again. Well that option was not really there because this was an online download. I was not sure what to do, so I rebooted the computer. Apparently that was a mistake. 
    After I made plenty of room on the hard drive I tried re-running the installation. Now, however, when the installation window comes up it says "Select Install to begin installing your new HP device." But that option is not there. In fact the only option is to exit.
    I have deleted all temp files related to the download of the driver package and re-downloaded it, but I get the same problem. I have also uninstalled all HP software on the computer, but still nothing. I don't really know what else I can do. Any help?
    Thanks.
    This question was solved.

    Well, this time when I extracted the second 7z file it automatically brought up the installation window and the Install option was there. I have no idea why it worked this time and not the others, but I did not have to access the Util folder or anything else. Thanks for your help!
    EDIT: So it turns out that I spoke to soon about the install option working that time. While it was installing an error window said there was a missing file. So I finished your instructions and THIS time it seems to be installing correctly. Thanks again!

  • Reinstalling drivers from optional install disk?

    Similar problem being experienced here. My Brother MFC 7420 was working fine one day and is lost to my system the next. Any attempt to print just stalls with a message like "Printing 25%" or some such figure. I've tried uninstalling the driver, updating the latest driver from Brother, updating the Brother driver from Apple, switched USB cables, and finally talked to a helpful Brother phone support technician who got me to try and re-install from the Leopard DVD. When I open the Optional Installs and open Printer Drivers, the Brother drivers are greyed out. He said it was an Apple problem, and thats where I'm at right now. The G4 is one year out of its 3 year Protection Plan so I presume I'll get no help from Apple. Can anyone out there suggest what I might try? Any help greatly appreciated.

  • Install Options for Tiger

    Hello All:
    I want to upgrade my current system (OS X 10.3.9) to Tiger -- something I've never done before. Over the course of trying to read up on and prepare for this procedure, I've noticed mention of a couple of options (maybe there's more I don't know of) that the installer must choose from: "Archive and Install" and "Clean Install" (I may not have the wording exactly right). I don't really know much about these options and the circumstances for selecting one or the other, but presumably making the the proper choice here is critical. I was wondering if someone could please explain these install options -- and any others that may exist alongside them -- and advise me on what might be the proper choice for upgrading my machine. (If I need to provide more system information to facilitate an effective response, please let me know...) Thanks much for any help!

    You can start with this article. In your case you would likely choose between an Upgrade Install and an Archive and Install. Here's how the latter is performed:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
    An Archive and Install would be preferred because it installs a fresh copy of OS X as opposed to a mixture of old and new as in an Upgrade install. It's less likely to cause problems, but it may require a liitle more effort because items stored in the /Library/ folder are not preserved and may need to be moved by hand from the old system to the new one.

  • Upgrade or Archive and Install option on  new and almost empty HDD?

    My Macbook has recently come back from repair with a new HDD fitted after the original failed. It has Tiger and iLife 6 installed plus a couple of 3rd party applications (PhotoPresenter and Onyx) but apart from the configurations for my Airport base stations there is not else on it yet. I have a home wireless network that I set up from this Macbook comprising of an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express connecting wirelessly and I don't want to risk losing my internet connection. Is it still considered to be the safer option to install Leopard using the Archive and Install option or would it be ok to choose Upgrade which looks easier to do and would take up less space on the hard drive? I also want to upgrade to iLife 8 at some point...should I do that first?

    Hi 12frets56;
    If you do the Upgrade and have problems, you can always do the Archive & Install later. That is part of the reason I suggest do the Upgrade first. It is fast and easy. If it works for you as it did for me you are done quickly.
    I also start with a clone of my current system first that I test to be sure I can boot from it. So far I have not needed it but it is alway nice to know that you can get back to the current system just in case.

  • Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

    Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

    In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
    Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
    I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
    Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
    You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
    Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
    Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
    You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
    Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
    After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
    The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
    i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

  • I am a CC subscriber and trying to update lr5.7 and I am told to got to my CC folder and click on install. The problem is, LR is not in my file. I guess I have been using my original lr that I bought years ago. What now? How do i get lr into the CC file?

    Gary116 please remove and reinstall Lightroom by following the steps listed in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed.  The version of Photoshop Lightroom available through the Creative Cloud Desktop application supports your Creative Cloud Membership.

  • How to recognize if application is installed using "Install Application on Remote Desktop" option on Windows Server 2008 R2

    How to recognize if application is installed using "Install application on remote desktop..." option in Control Panel in Windows Server 2008 R2?
    Basically, as administrator, I can't say if the user installed application using "Install application on remote desktop..." in Control Panel or he just installed it by clicking the .msi executable. I can't find anything that makes any difference.
    I could not find anything in the registry. I am quite confused.
    Thanks,
    Aleksandar9

    Hi,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Please make sure that you are using category view of control panel-programs to check the application. And in addition to “install application on Remote Desktop server” user can also use command line also.
    change user /install
    change user /execute
    change user /query
    “The first time you run the application, it searches the home directory for its .ini files. If the .ini files are not found in the home directory, but are found in the system directory, Terminal Services copies the .ini files to the home directory, ensuring
    that each user has a unique copy of the application .ini files. Each user should have a unique copy of the .ini files for an application. This prevents instances where different users might have incompatible application configurations.” (Quoted formthis
    article).
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks,
    Dharmesh

  • How do I get administrative priveleges to install optional plug-ins for cs5

    how do I get administrative priveleges to install optional plug-ins for cs5 and or how to install these optional plugins thanks

    To add to Mylenium's reply, here's how to do it on Windows and this is what microsoft website says:
    Why do I have to be an administrator to install a program?
    Only administrators can make changes that will affect everyone who uses the computer, such as installing software and hardware and changing security settings.
    If the program you are trying to install or run says you  must have administrator rights, but you are already an administrator on the computer, right-click the installation icon for the program, and then click Run as administrator. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    If the program installs but does not run, right-click the program icon, click Properties, click the Compatibility tab, select the Run this program as an administrator check box, and then try to run the program.

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

    Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop.  This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again.  Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.

    If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.
