Installing ox s 10.6 but getting error message to change partition scheme to GUID?

Please help, I currently have OS X 10.5.8 and bought OS X Snow Leopard however after inserting the disk I keep getting an error message saying I cannot use Macintosh HD to install Snow Leopard because it does not use the GUID partition table scheme? How do I do this becuase every time I go into my disk utilities i am unable to change the partition scheme? Thanks!!

so I tried what you said however it gives me a message that says "this is the startup volume, it can not be erased" any recommendations?
Use the disk utilities from the 10.6 installer disk.

Note that this will completely erase the disk.
You need to boot from the DVD, not the internal drive

  • Tryin to install iTunes 10.5.1 but get error message

    When trying to install iTunes 10.5.1 on my laptop I keep getting this message "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." Windows said to contact Apple. The IT rep from Apple just gave me a bunch of links that haven't helped. I followed one of the troubleshooting links and now I can't even reload the older version of iTunes. Can anyone guide me through what is required?

    Did you ever find an answer to this problem as I have encountered it now and it is very frustrating?
    Regards,

  • Trying to install Lightroom 5 with CC but getting error code 5 on initial startup of Lightroom.

    Trying to install Lightroom 5 with CC but getting error code 5 on initial startup of Lightroom. Have uninstalled all adobe products including Creative Cloud CC.
    Followed the instructions on the forum by using the CC Cleaner App for OSX. Have restarted a number of times and even tried using disk utility to fix any permission probs. Still no luck.
    The problem started happening from upgrading the previous version of Lightroom to the most up to date version. Im hoping someone can help me with any ideas. Thanks heaps.

    Ended up fixing the problem after finding no answers. Deleted the following file

  • Cant install Itunes on my work computer, get error message Apple Application support not found, so i uninstall and reinstall again and its the same message

    cant install Itunes on my work computer, get error message: "Apple Application support not found, so i uninstall and reinstall again and its the same message

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

  • While installing OD XE 11 g, I get error message just before finish

    the message is like couln't get data local {7e-ie-....) XE registration.
    I have downlaoded the zip file for win 32.
    i was told that this prg will install in my 64 bit OS (Windows 7).

A: While installing OD XE 11 g, I get error message just before finish

Hello, and welcome to the OTN forums!
i was told that this prg will install in my 64 bit OS (Windows 7).Who told you that, and why don't you ask him/her why it didn't work? (just kidding...)
In fact, XE 11.2 is currently not supported on 64 bit Windows machines. See the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABHICJH]System Requirements documented in the Installation Guide for XE 11.2.
The error you receive has been reported often when people tried to install on 64 bit anyway. There are workarounds for that issue, e. g. described in this thread: {thread:id=2289186}

  • HT5731 Have 55GB available, but get error message when trying to download movie to add storage

    Have 55GB available, but get error message when trying to download movie to add storage

    Go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage. Let all of the apps load in the window. You can see how much storage you have used and how much you have left. You will need about twice the size of the download of free storage in order to be able to download the movie. Also, the iOS will not let you use every bit of available storage on the device.
    You can delete content in there if needed, but if you sync with iTunes it's a good idea to transfer purchased into iTunes and backup your iPad before you delete content. If you use iCloud only, backup with iCloud before you delete any content.

  • HT201299 Verizon signal is strong but get error message "Ipad is not connected to the Internet"   Wireless works but my Verizon account does not

    Verizon signal is strong but get error message "Ipad is not connected to the Internet"   When I try to use Safari.
    Wireless works but my Verizon account does not

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Current version of Flash CC installed, but getting error message asking for a newer version?

    With the latest download of Flash Professional CC, I'm trying to install the toolkit for CreateJS but getting the following error:
    "this extension can not be installed, it requires Flash version in range of inclusively between 12 and 12"
    I have installed all the current versions of Flash Professional CC, Adobe Extension Manager CC and the CC itself. Restarted the computer and installed all updates that it found. I have the most current versions of the applications, but I'm still getting the above error - what can I do?
    Thanks for your help!

    Flash Pro CC is version 13. It appears to need Flash CS6 to function. If you have CC then CS6 is a download in your cloud membership.

  • Installed correctly but getting error messages

    I have followed the installation instructions and the program seems to be installed correctly but on some webpages I get error messages on popups.  At first I thought it might just be the website, but they pop up on other sites as well.  I grabbed a screen cap but I don't see that I can attach files herewith.
    The error messages all says:
    "SecurityError Error #2047: Security sandbox violation parent" (then an URL)
    Some messages go on and list "display" and "managers" errors.
    I have uninstalled and installed Flash Player at least a dozen times.  It's getting frustrating because I have no idea what is wrong or how to fix it.  I've tried to find answers on the Forum and in the Help/Support sections but most of that information is just going over my head - I am not a techie.
    I'm using IE9 and my OS is Windows 7
    Can someone advise me in layman's terms how I can fix this?  Or should I even fret about?  It's annoying but I can get the videos to work.
    Many thanks

    As per your instructions, I removed the install.txt file and the ocx file that
    I listed in my previous post.
    My problem now is that I am unable to view the video at this particular
    website:  http://www.wildearth.tv/safari  because it states that I do not
    have the most current Flash Player installed.
    I am so confused.  I was under the impression that the files installed
    under my sysWOW64 folder were indeed the most current Flash Player
    files.  But when I go to download and install whatever program that I
    might reach via the link on that "safari" website, I end up back where I
    was which prompted my original post a few days ago.
    I really would like to be able to view this website.  But I don't want to
    be going through all this hassle again.  Why is this particular website
    not recognizing that I indeed have the most current Flash Player installed?
    Please advise and thank you.
