Installing X11 - "There is nothing to install"
I inserted my Tiger installation disc, navigated to the optional programs icon, then selected X11...only to get the message "There is nothing to install."
I noticed a couple other odd things...
In the Install Optional Installs window, there are columns for Package Name, Action and Size. Everything in the Action column is marked "Skip" (no "Install"???), and everything in the Size column is labeled 0 bytes.
What's going on?
Thanks.
Please ignore this thread; I discovered I just made a stupid mistake. Thanks!

X11: You cannot continue. there is nothing to install.
Hi,
My X11 world has started misbehaving - whenever I try to xdisplay something back to my Mac I now get an error message saying 'unable to open display'. This all happened after the X11 session I was having with a remote linux box froze and I had to force quit X11. I thought I'd try to re-install X11 (via X11User.pkg) but I get to the part in the installer where I click on 'Install' and it then responds with:
You cannot continue. there is nothing to install.
I've tried removing the /usr/X11R6 directory and the X11 app itself but the installer message persists. Any ideas on how to proceed?
Thanks.Sometimes the reason why these things don't work is that there is a "receipt" in /Library/Receipts that you need to manually delete.
<pre>
ls -1d /Library/Receipts/X11
/Library/Receipts/X11SDK.pkg/
/Library/Receipts/X11User.pkg/

Trying to download the latest update for Epson printer/scanner but although it starts (up to about 5KB of 26.8MB) it stops without completing. The download list shows it is installed ( 8 times!) but there is nothing in Finder downloads. What can I do to download this update
Try re-indexing Spotlight.
Spotlight – Re-index
If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

I just got a new imac, App store says I downloaded garageband update and it says it's installed. But there's nothing new to it. Is there something I'm suppose to do? I restarted the imac, no difference
Weird, that's not the one I was initially downloading but I think that is the one that installed, so I think that solves that. But now the problem is that the one I was updating is no longer being shown. It's over 1gb that had all the loops and instruments.
Now when I try to use say strings lunar strings. It tells me to download at app store. It doesn't show. I go back to garageband try again and says the instrument or loop is currently being installed. But it's not. -
I am trying to install Office:Mac 2011 on my Air using a remote disc. I have gotten all the way to where I am installing it on my air, but it is telling me to select a disk to install office on and there is nothing to select. The box is empty.
It might be easier to download the trial version from the microsoft site and then use the code off your box set to activate it.

Hi, I just purchased a Creative Cloud plan. When I open the Creative cloud, there is nothing there. How do I install apps from creative cloud?
Hi la dama cooks,
I believe you are getting the blank Creative cloud applications.
Please refer to the threads below where the issue has been resolved:

"There is nothing to install" Flip4Mac
Maybe someone here can help: just tried installing the free flip4mac version 2.1.2.72. The download went OK, but when I try to install, either with custom or easy install, I keep getting the message "Cannot install. There is nothing to install." The custom options show zero KBs. Tried it with two different downloads with same result. The dmg itself seems OK; shows 7.5 MBs which I think is right.
I know I might have to go over to their support forum, but there is no guest posting there and I'm really reluctant to have to register for yet another site.
Maybe someone can explain why this might be happening. Thanks.Thanks Klaus. Sorry this is getting dragged out. I looked through the FAQs. Thanks very much for going to the trouble of finding that link.
I see something about things not working properly after installing and needing to uninstall first, but don't see anything about not being able to install at all with message "nothing to install." But it does seem reasonable that I would be able to re-install the update only after first completely uninstalling the older app. Even though I moved the old app to the trash to install the new one, must be files located elsewhere,
And, from my edited post above, which you might have missed as you were posting:
If I'm running videos through QT, then is Flip nothing more than a platform to launch QT and it doesn't matter which version of Flip I'm using?
That's what I'm really wondering about. -
Reinstalling OS9 Classic, You cannot continue, there is nothing to install
I am using Tiger on an Imac with OS9. I cannot open the OS9 for some reason. I notice in the preference window the OS9 disc logo is missing. Somehow I guess I messed up the software. I found the discs that came with that Imac, and when I tried to reinstall OS9, I got a message saying "You cannot continue, there is nothing to install"
Any help would be appreciated
Thank You,

When trying to install Reader 9.2 updates it wants me to close applications that are using reader. There is nothing listed and no applications are running. Any ideas?
Make sure your browser is closed and check to see if there are any processes related to Acrobat still running. If you are using Windows, Control-Alt-Delete > Processes tab. Look for AcroRd32.exe or Acrobat.exe or Acrotray.exe and stop these processes from running before you try your update again. A good ol' computer reboot might do the trick for you too.

Tried downloading Mavericks this morning and it froze. I deleted where it started the download and I tried to restart it but now it will not let me start the download. just wants to go to install but there is nothing there to install.
Hello Curtis,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to downlaod Mavericks. I recommend emptying your trash and restarting your computer. Once you have done that, navigat the the Purchased tab of the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks again:

Minefield just would not open pages, whatever I tries to type in the addressbar the URL just stayed there and nothing happened. Even if I opened a new tab and put a new url again it did not even start loading the page. This is happening since the last updates from today or yesterday. I already removed minefield and installed it again

When I dock my Iphone it shows as a device on ITunes but there is nothing there - no managing tools no lists of apps, music anything just the device - any advice? I uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes
I found a solution !!!
The problem is that the font SEGOE UI MAGER (one of the fonts) is not installed.
When you go on this link, you can download the missing font !
http://fontzone.net/font-details/Segoe+UI/
download this, open it and go on install !
Then you open your Itunes and your Text is there again. Maybe its a little bit to big but, its there !!!
Wish you a nice day !! :-D -
When I try to import songs from a CD into iTunes it can't find the titles online. This wasn't a problem previously, now it is. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. Any solutions? Help says to try again later but no luck there. I've tried multiple times with multiple CDs.
To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step. -
Not sure how this all works but my problem is this: I have attached an external hard drive to my mac snow leopard 10.6 and am trying to back up my computer through Time Machine. When asked to select the drive as part of the set up, there is nothing to select. The box is empty. How do I set up Time Machine for back ups with an external drive? I am running Airport Extreme WI-FI (VERY confusing as I did not know the difference between Extreme and Capsule). Now to add another component...how does Icloud figure into all of this if I want to back up my computer systems, documents, etc? Is this a simplier way as long as I download Lion? Help!!!
Hello,
Problem is likely the Format of the External drive, for TM it needs to be Mac OSX extended Journaled & GUID Partition scheme for Intel based Macs...
How to format your disks...

(To Install OSX on an IntelMac the Drive it needs the GUID Partitioning scheme mentioned at the bottom.)

There are other free options for backing up if interested!
