Lion won't let me install Xcode!

Hi Community,
I just got a new MBP and of course the first thing i did was install the Developer Tools. I went to http://developer.apple.com/xcode/ and downloaded the Xcode3 installer. Everything went well until i opened up the installer. When it takes me to the screen to choose what to install, everything is checked and good to go except the "Xcode Toolset". I try to check it to include it in the download, but it is grayed out and won't let me making it so that when i download the software, i don't get xcode, interface builder, quartz or any of the other developer applications and utilities. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks.

The link i listed is the official apple xcode site. On the bottom right corner where it says "Looking For Xcode 3?" you can click "Download Now" to download Xcode 3. This is what i did. I opened up the dmg and mounted the volume, then I ran the xcode installer. I just clicked continue through the whole thing and accepted the terms. Once it finished downloading, i went to /Developer/Applications and the only thing there was an empty Utilities folder. I uninstalled it, redownloaded the installer, and tried again, but this time when i got to the "Installation Type" page, i checked to make sure it was downloading everything, and found that Xcode Toolset was unchecked and grayed out. Am I making sense?

Check for new 64 bit software for the modem, other wise you I'll probably have to boot your Mac in 32 bit mode first.. And then every time you want to go online.
I have the Sierra wireless 306 and have their 64 bit lion software installed. Works well.
Best.

Cannot install Mountain Lion - my iPhoto won't quit and Mountain Lion won't let me do a force quit

I'm trying to upgrade to Mountain Lion but when it ries to quit all programmes to install my iPhoto won't quit as albums are being sync'd. I try to stop and quit but it won't. I then try to force a quit and Mountain Lion won't let it. help!

if you don't mind interrupting the album sync, you can do a hard shutdown of the mac by pressing and holding the power button down for 10 seconds to make sure it's all the way off.
you can then do SMC reset which is described in the following article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
after doing this turn on the mac, click on the black apple then force quit and make sure all apps are closed
open app store and try again to install the mountain lion

I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

I am trying to re-instal Acrobat Pro on my computer after changing OS and resetting everything. I am using the CC panel for intallation. It shows it installed and won't let me install it.

I am trying to re-instal Acrobat Pro on my computer after changing OS and resetting everything. I am using the CC panel for installation. It shows it installed and won't let me install it. I doubled check everything on my computer and it is not installed. Even more, all my PDF files now show an HTML extension rather that PDF and only opens in my browser, which means the program is not here.
How to re-install it, please, when the CC panel installer won't let me do it? Thanks!

Try "Pacifist"!
Pacifist is an application for Mac OS X that opens up .pkg installer packages, .dmg disk images, .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .pax, and .xar archives, and more, and lets you install individual files out of them. This is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package

Satellite L850 - Win8.1 won't let me install the chipset drivers

Hi,
After i upgraded to windows 8.1 pro 64 bit from windows 8 64 bit (pre-installed), i figured that windows won't let me install the chipset drivers (downloaded from "toshiba site" for windows 8.1 pro 64 bit), but they remain with the windows drivers installed for them.
The device manager shows everything installed and properly using. Also, when the set up was running to install the chipset driver, it skipped most of them, to install only a missing driver (sadly haven't kept any screen to show). I tried to install using the device manager (either auto search or manually browsing in the pc the downloaded files from site), but it keeps saying that drivers are up to date (having drivers with version of 2006, when the latest on site are 2014). Any suggestion of what to do?
Model name: Satellite L850-1MK
OS version: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM cpu @ 2.4GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7600M

Problem solved, after even a deeper google search, i found that if y make a shortcut and add to it a command (-OVERALL), it forcefully installs all components.

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Mommy won't let me install QTJava

I've given up on JMF because of its lack of support for media formats that people actually use, so I'm following the advice of others on this forum and will attempt to try QuickTime for Java as an alternative.
The problem is that the QuickTime installer won't let me install QTJava because it complains (incorrectly) that I don't have a supported VM.
Any idea where I can get a QuickTime for Java installation without mommy looking over my shoulder and commenting on my VM, or how to get around this problem in general?
I apologize for positing here, but I couldn't find a counterpart forum on Apple's site.
Thanks in advance for any assistance

Since you have a choice of JVM's, I'm assuming you're on Windoze? I think QTJ only runs on the Sun JVM -- not Microsoft (duh) and not IBM's (darn). Also, I'm pretty sure it's not ready for 1.4 yet.
Most Apple stuff is on listservs instead of web-boards. Check out the quicktime-java list at http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/quicktime-java

Computer won't let me install anything anymore

Ever since I repaired disk permissions this afternoon Mac won't let me install anything.
What happens is I clicked "save to disk" to install something, I look at my desktop and either a .exe file pops or the actual file pops up but when I click on it it simply vanishes into thin air.
I was trying to downgrade Quicktime 7 earlier today and that is when I first noticed. I thought it was a quicktime problem. I was wrong.
HELP!
Thanks

What operating system are you using? (If you're not sure, click the Apple icon at the left of the menu bar and choose 'About this Mac'.) The current version of iTunes requires 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). If you have anything earlier you may be able to get a higher version of iTunes (what version do you have now) but not the current one.
If you do have Snow Leopard or higher then evidently something is wrong; do you get an error message and if so, what?
