Mac OS 10.6.2 won't install
Hi everyone,
I am having some problems installing the latest update for leopard. Basically I have just got my 13' macbook pro from repair(top spec model), I wiped the HD before sending it in. Now I have installed leopard and cannot do the update. When going through the software update it came up with an error each time, and when I downloaded the individual installer I get the error:
Mac os x update can't be installed on this disc. This volume does not meet the requirments for this update.
I have managed to do all of ilife updates so am really baffled as to what is wrong. I have tried 2-3 times via software update and same with the other installer, I have restarted and repaired the disc and verified it with no errors.
Hello M:
Glad things are OK now. Please mark the thread solved so that others will not visit and think you need feedback.
Also, please update your profile to reflect the correct OS X level.

Mac OSX 10.5.4 won't install
Hey, i've got a macbook pro, and every time my automatic update tries to install the new update for the OS, and I always get this message:
The Update "Mac Os X Update Combined" can't be installed.
The installer could nat validate the contents of the "Mac OSUpdCombo10.5.4" package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
And by the way, everything else installs just fine, but this hasn't been installing for months on end now. What is going on and what do I need to do???Have you tried deleting your existing download of "Mac OSUpdCombo10.5.4" and downloading and installing a fresh copy from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html ?

Security update Flash version for Mac OSX 10.5.8 won't install
I lost my ability to view Ustream live streaming and recorded videos on Sept. 12, 2013, in both Safari and Firefox. The screen is solid black, and if I right click I get "Movie not loaded..." I read about the Sept.10 Security Update for Flash Player, so I uninstalled version fp_10.3.183.90 and attempted to install version fp_11.7.700.242. The installation failed every time, so I returned to the older one. On Sept. 13 I downloaded Google Chrome and it worked, but today, Sept. 14, I see the message "Flash is out of date," and no video.
I have a Macmini2,1 with 1 Intel Processor and 2 Cores, made in 2007, I think. OS Leopard, 10.5.8 (64-bit). My Safari is version 5.0.6, Firefox 9.0.1 and Chrome 21.0.1180.90.
I spend a lot of time on Ustream, so this is a big setback... please help!Firefox is on version 23.1 now (I believe it WILL run on Leopard), and Chrome is on 29 (I can't be sure of that because I've uninstalled it from EVERY LAST machine I own and will NEVER use it again).
THAT may have something to do with it. Safari 5 is the newest that will run on 10.5, and unfortunately the LATEST Flash Player WON'T run on Leopard.
The reason is that OS 10.5 was the LAST Universal Binary OS Mac released (it runs on Intel or Power PC Macs) Becaue of that, it uses a different acrhitecture and the Flash Player is different from an "Intel only" build. Websites will continue to update, requiring the latest Player, and that will lead to obsolescence of your Flash Player (and your OS). THAT'S the bad news.
The GOOD news is: Because your Mac is Intel powered, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.8) for $20 through Apple (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard), and THAT will allow you to run a LOAD of software that requires 10.6 or newer. -

If you are really running a G3, you cannot install Leopard on it.

HT201364 I just bought a new mac pro retina and it won't install mavericks?
Hi,
as stupid as this question sounds when it says OSX 10.9 as the software version that means my new mac pro is actually already up to date with mavericks?
it wont allow me to update to mavericks which seems odd as its brand new. im assuming its already installed.
it says osx 10.9.
just checking what this means. Im in the process of buying office 365 for it and a mac mini so i wanted both machines to be the same so i dont have andy glitches. (tried pages but im a die hard word user for 20 years)
any help would be appreciated,
thanks
NiallWelcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X 10.9 is OS X Mavericks, so you are already using OS X Mavericks. The problem is that your Mac is using a special OS X Mavericks version, so you may be getting a message saying that your computer is not compatible if you are downloading Mavericks from the Mac App Store. Ignore it.
Also, note that OS X 10.9.1 is the most recent version. To update your computer, open > Software Update. -
Trying to install windows on Mac using bootcamp, but windows won't install?
I've been working tirelessly on installing a burned to disk windows 7 on my MacBook Pro using bootcamp. Everything worked fine, I booted up windows but the problem was that it wouldn't install at all and just told me that the disk may be corrupted or missing? I noticed the disk was scratched so I reburned it to another disk. When I went to restart the Mac to boot up windows and try the installation again, a message came up saying: "NTFS - 3G could not mount /dev/disk0s4 at /volumes/untitled because the following problem occurred: dyld: library not loaded/ usr /local/libfuse.2dylib referenced from: /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g reason: image not found." Could this be saying something about the disk? Is there an easy way to just install the **** thing?? In really tired with this, thank you do much for any help.

Mac OS 10.6.4 won't install - Claims there's an error preventing Install
I have tried every which way to install update 10.6.4 either via software update or manually downloading the update and even manually downloading 10.6.4 combo, all to no avail. Once the download and update is complete, either I get the update box showing a large yellow triangle with an exclamation mark therein and the text "THE INSTALLATION FAILED The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance" or i get as far as "The computer needs to restart" and I press OK. The computer then goes direct to the default wallpaper and runs through package verification only to tell me that "There is an error - update failed to install" I have run Disk repair and have started from the install disk and run disk repair from there, all to no avail. Help would be apperciated.

Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update Won't Install (Mac Pro 2007)
This keeps popping up in Software Update, even though I've 'Installed' it.
I restart, progress bar goes to 100%, fans spin up...reboot. However, evry time Software Update loads...there it is agian. I've checked the Firmware/Boot ROM number, and it's not what it should be (is still the previous rev.)
I've done this 4 times now...
Is it even worth bothering with?Did you actually run the update from your Utilities folder (where I believe it ends up)? You'll go through a process of rebooting and hearing the long tone / seeing grey screen and progress bar. Until it's actually run properly, you'll keep seeing reminders.

I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice. Also, a second library was created and it became the default library. I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open. what can I do to revert to the old library?
Both iPhotos open to a default library (#2) which has 300+ photos, I attempted to "switch to library" under the file tab in iPhoto and tried to choose "other library" which had most of my photos. When I attempt to open it, it doesn't do anything. I can see it and there are 2 libraries but it won't open.
Have you tried to open your old iPhoto library by double-clicking it directly, instead of using the File menu? That should work, if you are running iPhoto '11 and the library has been created by that version or an older version. DO you get an error message, if you select the library directly in the Finder?
I checked and it is the latest version of iPhoto.
Is it iPhoto '11, version 6.0.5? "Latest version" is ambiguous, because it will depend on your system version.
Where is your iPhoto Library stored? -

Win7 won't install in Mac mini SL w/no optical drive, crashes when accessing external HD
I've been trying to install win7 on my Mac Mini with 10.6.8 that doesn't have an optical drive. I've been able to do the bootcamp partition just fine but when it goes to restart into the windows partition with the win7 disk in the external HD, my screen goes grey, then a green with purple border and then black. I have to reboot and if I press the alt/opt key, I'm able to get into OSX again. The research I've done shows I need to create a .iso file which I did with disk utility. I created all types of .iso files, read only, compressed and dvd.cdr files. Nothing is working. Bootcamp is not recognizing any of the 5 thumb drives I've put the .iso files on as I read some drives aren't able to be recognized. The external HD works as I reinstalled SL just fine using it. My research also shows that win7 won't install from an external HD. So I'm at a a loss as to how to proceed from here. I went into my old windows machine to try to create a bootable thumb drive after I install win7 there but the Dell is so old, I don't have a DVD drive in it, only a CD drive. And if I buy a downloadable version of win7 I still need to get it to a DVD or a thumb drive to get it installed.
Does anyone have any ideas? I called Apple and their support ended at "well, we did our job by getting you to the BootCamp partition" which is a crock. It's their design to take out the optical drive and now it's everyone else's problem! Sorry, I know I've got attitude but I'm so frustrated!!
Thanks in advance! I'm posting this here and in bootcamp discussion.Hatter helped me out without even knowing he helped me out. In cruising through the archives, he advised another problem seeker to unplug everything except 1 monitor, a mouse and a keyboard. Which I did and that solved my problems at last. I also burned my .iso file to a DVD with my MBP and it was able to be read by the external HD. So keep searching the forums peeps, your answer may be there after all!

Google tool bar won't install on Mac OS 10.4.11
Mac OS 10.4.11. Was using earlier Firefox then installed 3.6.8 and now many add-ons won't work but mostly I need Google tool bar which won't install. Also no autofill.
Jeff, there was nothing under logs/Adobe/installers. Instead, I had to scroll through "All reports" and find the log there. Under Adobe, I only found Reader updater and the CC Cleaner protocoll:

Adobe AIR won't install Mac OS 10.8.2
I'm trying to install Muse and/or a Dreamweaver Extension from a Creative Cloud account and it won't install because of a problem with AIR. I've tried installing AIR through the Muse dialogue and it crashes the installer. I've also tried to install AIR (version 3.5) directly from the Adobe site, downloading the installer separately from the Muse dialogue and recieve the below error message. What is the problem? I keep deleting old versions of Muse and Air, restarting and it's still the same problem.
HELP!

Docs to go won't install on my mac
Hi,
I've recently bought a palm TX, and have been experiencing trouble with the included software apps for my mac.
I've installed palm desktop, and some of the other apps such as adobe reader, but for some reason docs to go won't install.
i can load the disk image off the CD, click on the VISE installer icon, accept the terms of use, but it get's stuck when the progress bar appears. the last thing it says before "not responding" is...
items to install 240
"searching [computer name]"
or something along those lines
I've tried repairing disk permissions, i'm logged in on the admin account, reinstalled palm desktop and there are no other apps running.
I'm using OSX 10.4.11 (tiger), a palm TX, and the palm desktop version is 4.2.2
I've also tried downloading 4.2.1 rev D but same result.
please help!
Post relates to: Palm TXThanks for your reply,
The version included on the CD is Docs to go ver 7. According to the datavis website, it's mac compatible, and it certainly looks like a mac compatible installation procedure.
I've found getting technical help from datavis pretty much impossible, as i need a registration no. to e-mail for support, and as I can't even install the program, I've got no registration no.
Is there anyone else out there with a TX using docs to go on their mac???

Mavericks won't install on newest mac mini fusion drive
I have a mac mini, latest version. I have a fusion drive.
Mavericks won't install on that drive. I get this message:
This disk doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme. Use Disk Utility to change the partition scheme. Select the Disk, choose the
partition tab, select the volume Scheme and then click Options.
Well, I did that, up to "choose the partition tab." Then it says "you may only split this partition into two. To do this, click +."
I did that, and there were two partitions. the only option left is to select apply, which I didn't.
The "options" were still greyed out.
So now what?
Thanks for any input.Lion creates a recovery area with a minimal version of OS X and it may be unable to do so due to use over the years, and possibly other resizing operations (Boot Camp). It could just need more space, if you only have less than 8gb free. Lion shuffles and merges the two systems when it upgrades. You can burn the image downloaded from App Store by finding the dmg file inside the "Install Mac OS X Lion.app" bundle, dragging it into disk utility, then burning from there.
Otherwise, you can appropriate a MBR/BIOS formatted 4GB thumbdrive, 8GB of either EFI or MBR/BIOS thumbdrive, flash storage device, or external hard drive, and format it, using the restore operation through disk utility to copy the contents of the installer disk to the media. Exposed via the alt key before the Apple logo, should show the bootable media, where you can format over the former installation.
As always, backup your files when upgrading. I recommend if your installion is over a year old to wipe and upgrade if you can't make otherwise the media bootable, using your 10.6 recovery dvd.
If you cannot find an external medium to backup your files before the upgrade, if you need to format via disk utility (Through 10.6 media), you can consider Dropbox as an option (2GB free account).
It's not uncommon for the partition to simply refuse operations, including upgrades and resizing.
