MAC OS X Installation Assistant Hangs after install

I'm a Mac Newbie, I have a MBP Intel Duo with 10.4 Tiger.
I took the default Leopard install, just doing it on top of my existing Tiger.
It took what appeared to be forever to verify the CD, but the rest of the install went ok.
Upon the reboot as part of the install, I got this purple-ish window, with the word WELCOME in different languages. I believe then, maybe 1 / 2 screens later, it asked to verify my name/addr stuff (already filled in from I'm guessing my tiger registration), I went on, and then on the next screen it asks me about a .MAC account (about 4 options w/ radio buttons ... not now/trial/buy one/etc)
This is where it hung for me. I could not select the radio buttons, I could not close the window as the window-bar's button was not even red. I could select quit from the top taskbar but it did nothing. I'm pretty sure the app running in the window's title was "MAC OS X Installation Assistant".
It did close it when I did a restart of the MBP.
All looks ok on the computer & OS, but I am a little concerned that perhaps some subsequent (post-install) steps were skipped by the "installation assistant" not finishing. Also, finder cannot seem to find something called "mac os x Installation Assistant" on he hard drive.
Any thoughts about how / where to run it?
Try re-installing 10.5 again (if it will let me)?
Anyone know what "next" steps it would have done?
(or are they un-necessary if this is not a brand new install on a new hard drive?)
I'm not even sure if it "registered" leopard.
Thanks for any feedback you can provide.
Regards.

We had exactly the same issue at work, was fairly simple to fix, however this solution assumes that you have access to another mac?
The issue occours due to the lack of the .AppleSetupDone file, which stops the Setup Assistant from being activated on every boot.
-Boot the machine with the looping setup assistant to target disk mode (Apple+T)
-Connect together via firewire
-On the working machine, launch terminal and enter "sudo cp /var/db/netinfo/.AppleSetupDone /Volumes/<mac hd on looping machine>/var/db/netinfo/"
-Reboot the looping machine
-The startup assistant will resume again, make sure to match the shortname for the user to what it was previously to recover all files, should you enter something else, you can recover the home folder by launching terminal and entering "sudo chown -R <shortname> /Users/<shortname>"
Hope this helps

I've had the same issue and despite clearing the PRAM and powering on and off repeatedly this is what has (at least temporarily) resolved my issue:
I've done this 3 times and sometimes it works right off the jump other times I've had to wait a bit and try again or power off and try again, once the start up screen is frozen hit Command : Option : Shift : Esc and a window should pop up "You restarted because of a problem..." from there you can go to your desktop. I haven't found an actual resolution to fix the problem but this does get you into your computer.
Hope this helps!

Adobe AIR installation issue - hangs at "Installing..."

Hello everyone!
I know questions similar to this have been asked many times before, but I did not manage to find the solution to my problem after a few hours of reading and trying the various 'solutions' around the net and this forum. I apologise if I missed it.
I cannot seem to install Adobe AIR. I run a freshly downloaded installation executable, but it hangs at "Installing..." and 0% progress for a very, very, very long time, if I let it. This last try has been going for 45 minutes as I write. The only way to get out of the installer is through Task Manager and killing the service, as hitting 'Cancel' just makes the installer attempt to cancel endlessly.
I tried installing it in safe mode but there it gives an error saying I may not have administrative permissions (which I do have);
I created a new user account;
I "run as Administrator" and am using an account with administrative rights;
I tried it through the command line with putting the file in c:\ and running "AdobeAIRInstaller.exe -silent" without quotes from c:\;
I have shut off all my antivirus software;
I tried downloading it with a different browser;
I tried using the MicrosoftFixit.ProgramInstallUninstall, and took Adobe AIR off the list;
I tried uninstalling all Adobe products and then reinstalling them, with Adobe AIR last
... and some more things, but none of this has helped. Here's what the installation log generates when it hangs:
[2012-12-25:01:16:36] Runtime Installer begin with version 3.5.0.880 on Windows 7 x86

I would much appreciate any help or advice anyone can give me regarding this! This is starting to drive me nuts.
Thank you.
( also, this is my first post, so please forgive if I've done anything wrong or not according to etiquette! )

Ok, I understand. So before we continue, we really need to figure out what the exact error is. Can you, on at least 2 systems, generate the MSI logs we'll need? Here's a document that explains how to enable logging and where to find the logs once they've been created:
How to enable Windows logging
Once you've enabled logging, try installing again. Grab the newly created msi logs and either post here or email me at [email protected] I'll examine the logs and see if we can find a common issue between the systems.
Thanks,
Chris

Safari 5 hanging after install...

Our internet started hanging and took forever to load pages after installing safari 5.0. We took it into Geek squad, they checked it out and said it was a software problem not a hardware problem and told us to reinstall the operating system. We did and everything worked fine (until we did the updates that included safari 5.0) then same problem again. Slow page loading...so We reinstalled the operating system without doing safari 5.0 update (currently running safari 4.02) and internet is fine but we cannot log onto the iTunes store because it says that we need safari 4.03 or higher. Tried to download safari 4.05 but it said that I could not install because I do not have Mac OS X 10.6!! So does having Mac OS X 10.6 keep you from having hang up issues with Safari 5.0?

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
First, right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder then click "Get Info". That should tell you exactly which version of Safari you have installed.
Check to see if you have third party Safari plug-ins or input managers installed. Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Install the v10.5.8 Combo Update This includes updates that were not part of the original v10.5.8 update.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
And repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
One more thing. Open System Preferences/Accounts the select the Login Items tab. If you have any apps listed there to launch when you startup your Mac, delete them. And go to /Library/Startup Items. Remove any items there also.

Mac Pro will not sleep properly after installing new SATA BD-CD-DVD drive.

Hello and thank you in advance for time reading this.
I have been using a Mac Pro for 4 years and it never happened to me before.
This started almost immediately after installing a new SATA BD-CD-DVD Drive.
When the Mac is ordered to sleep, It shuts down 3 out of 4 Hard Drives
(I guess the one that doesn't is the OSX Drive) and It will not shut down the fans
and the display has no signal.
During that (when it won't sleep completely) the Mac is completely paralysed and it's unable to wake up.
Now, I've tried being patient and giving the Mac a ton of time to sleep.
In some cases it actually worked and the Mac did sleep completely and it was able to wake up,
but that defeats the purpose (being able to sleep and wake up in an in a few seconds).
In these few cases, the Mac took about 30 min to sleep.
In the rest of the cases the Mac never slept and I had to emergency shut it off from the power button.
In simply words, Mac falls into a "coma", not asleep but not awake at the same time.
As I said, this started exactly when I installed an SATA LG CH10LS20 optical Drive.
You may say that the Mac Pro does not support SATA for optical Drives.
This is why you should know that there is a SATA port on the motherboard of a Mac,
and with the correct method you can connect a SATA Drive AND be able to use it with out additional drivers.
http://www.tomorrowland.com/guides/mac-pro-optical-drive-install-part-1/
Now, you may say that If I'm so sure that it's the new drive causing the problem, why don't I disconnect it?
Well, please try to understand me, it's an all new drive and it cost a good load of money...
and other users of the same drive do not have that problem... yet...
Is there a way for the drive (which otherwise works fine) and the Mac to coexist and work properly?
Do you really think it's the new Drive?
Is the motherboard bothered somehow by the new drive and wont go to sleep properly?
Any kind of help is welcome and
I thank you in advance if you can help me.

Thanks for taking the time to respond RedBaron, I don't have a USB aircard in this system but I do have numerous firewire drives. I haven't unplugged everything yet and restarted. That's a good tip. I think I will try that to see if that is the problem.
Thanks again
Chris

My computer slows down and hangs after installing oracle 10g

My computer just slows down after installing oracle 10g. I have a pentium 4 3ghz with 512 memory (32 mb used by graphics built in card). It slows down and hanged even if I agjusted the swap memory to 800 mb. I have two swap file/page file - in drive c and drive d. I even cannot shut it down because it takes maybe 30 minutes just to see the "shut-off/log-off" screen.

Before starting up Oracle, when you go to the task manager, how much RAM does it show actually free? 512 MB is pretty small to run Oracle in the first place-- Windows and Office can use a fair chunk of RAM themselves, depending on which Office apps you are running. You may also be suprised by the amount of RAM that a web browser, email client, and the various other apps that folks generally install can use.

Mac Pro Mid 2010 keeps restarting after installing OSX Mavericks

Hello,
my Mac Pro Mid 2010 started quitting and restarting after installing the Mavericks OSX. I was thinking about wiping out the drive and reinstalling OS X Mountain Lion but thought I should see if anyone else is experiencing these issues before going that route.
It just intermittently restarts and it tries to restart multiple times before it will actually start up again. It's not issuing a crash report. It just quits out and restarts. It started doing this just at initial startup. It now will quit and restart at any given time and it will take multiple times attempting to start before it actually starts up. I've even had to shut it down because it would going through that startup sequence without starting. No perceivable pattern as to why this is occurring. No specific programs that it occurs in. The only thing I know for certain is that it started happening after installing Mavericks OSX – OSX Mountain Lion was fine. I also made sure to unistall Mountain Lion before installing Mavericks with those potential issues of trying to install one operating system over another. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Specs for Mac Pro Mid 2010:
- 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
- 14 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
- ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
- OS X 10.9.2

Hello Linc,
I followed your instructions. I have information for the BOOT_TIME and for SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS sections. I've included all within one post with heading separators between the two sections. I wasn't sure if you needed this posted as two separate posts or not. If this isn't correct, please let me know and I'll do again. Hopefully I didn't pull too much content for the BOOT_TIME section. I was trying to search for enough diverse content that would clearly represent what might be occurring. It was also challenging to choose content for the BOOT_TIME section though because there was no time-stamped content close to the time of BOOT_TIME time stamp. The last time I restarted my system was hours before I attempted your exercise. And, I haven't experienced "crashing" more than it just automatically restarts in the middle of things. I wonder if that's why there were no .crash reports? There was only a list of .panic reports so that's what I provided. Thanks for your help Linc.

N200 0678 hangs after installing XP SP2

I have just purchased an N200 and the first thing that had to go was vista. I have installed XP and it installs fine until I install SP2 it reboots and hangs on the windows xp screen. I installed the latest firmware , the machine will boot into safemode and checking the event logs shed no light on the situation.

Is this the driver you tried?
   Realtek Sound Driver for Windows XP, 5.10.0.5413, 04/12/07
   sound-20070828123958.zip
If so, perhaps you installed them in the wrong order. You should install the chipset and then the display driver before the sound.

Thunderbird hangs after installing Lightning

Operating system is Windows 7 64-bit. Thunderbird version is 31.3.0. Add-ons installed are Google Tasks Sync 0.5.1, Lightning 3.3.1 and Provider for Google Calendar 1.0.3. After installing the latter two extensions, Thunderbird opens but then immediately hangs up. Using safe mode, I have been able to launch Thunderbird and use email with the extensions disabled. Would appreciate your help.

I tried with another slot (pci 3 slot), same issue. I try to assign a irq 0 to pci slot 4 which shared by usb host controller and other usb root hub. I tried with different irq also (irq ) which shared by my geforce, audigy and another i don't remember.
IRQ available for slot 4 or all is irq 9, irq 0, irq . onboard soundcard disabled. Default xp driver installed previously for creative onboard soundcard.
I didn't try the new drivers provided on creative website. i going to do that today and post again the results.
Many posting the similar problems in this forum, is there any defined document or knowledgebase which clearly give some directions to follow to fix the issue.
Thanks in advance

Mac Pro fans run full speed after installing Solid State Drives

I recently visited the Genius Bar at my local Apple store because my Mac Pro's fans were running at full speed after installing 2 solid state drives. The genius told me that it was because the drives themselves are so small they don't touch the metal tab on the motherboard that reads the drive's temperature, so it defaults to running full speed. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I've tried smcFan Control but it doesn't let me set the actual fan speed. I'm getting 5200 rpms on my Boost A and B fans, and this causes an insane amount of noise. Can anyone help?

Which model Mac Pro?
I have an SSD in a 2009 (MacPro4,1). I removed it from the 2.5 in stamped metal can, and just installed the bare circuit board onto the SATA connector. It does not make any contact with the metal tab below the SATA connector. The only trouble I have is that Tech Tool Pro says its temperature is not optimum when it does disk tests.

Mac pro won't wake up after installing Mountain Lion

After installing Mountain Lion in my Mac Pro it won't wake up after long periods of sleep. I have tried unplugging it for 15 seconds and plugging it back in and starting it back up. No help. I've reset the Pram with no change.
Chuck

Two calls into tech support, but I think they may have helped me fix this.
CHECK:
\Library\LaunchAgents
\Library\LaunchDaemons
\Library\StartupItems
remove any third party software and set aside. (they told me I could keep some adobe, microsoft and HP items)
THEN CHECK:
System Preferences --> Users + Groups -->Login Items
remove any third party stuff from in there.
I'll know tomorrow morning if this REALLY works, but it dfefinitely allowed my computer to sleep and wakeup over a short period of time.

PowerBook G4 hangs after install/reboot with Combo Mac OS X 10.5.8 update

I've got a Titanium PowerBook G4 1GHz. It had Mac OS X 10.5.4 installed.
Then I went to Software Update and it downloaded the Combo software 10.5.4 and after it rebooted, it is stuck at "Installing 2 items, Configuring installation."
You can see the progress bar pulsating but it's stuck and I dont hear any hard drive activity. I had to hard power down and got back in and did Software Update again and after it rebooted, same issue.
Whats up with that?

Some general advice on updating Leopard:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious! In fact a second restart can be recommended.
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their websites for updates.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
[b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

My Mac Pro is hanging after installing Mountain Lion

My Mac Pro is hanging and it started not long after I installed Mountain Lion. It seems to be related to Contacts in that it is constantly trying to sync with iCloud. It becomes unresponsive and when I force quit, other apps start going down. Eventually Mail hangs and I have to hit the power button and force a restart of the Mac Pro. It also brings down my DSL connection which runs through an Airport Extreme. Has anybody had similar experiences? Contrary to what it might say in my profile, I'm running a 2.8 Ghz Quad Core Mac Pro and 10.8.2.

Welcome. If you search for "Mountain Lion freeze" you will see you are NOT alone. But as far as I know there is no solution.
