Mac OSX 10.5.8 Installer won't run

I just uninstalled my old version of Adobe Flash Player (deleting caches, preferences, etc (as the instructions say)) and tried to install the most recent version that my OS runs, Flash Player 10.3.183.90. I close all my apps, empty my trash, and even restart my computer but the installer won't run. It just bounces for a minute or so on my dock then just sits there, not opening. I have to force quit it because it says "Application not responding." I also unzipped the .app file that comes in the .dmg and i tried running the Flash Player app that appeared and it also does the exact same thing.

1. Try creating another user account and try the installer under that accoiunt. If it works, you need to repair permissions on your account using the Disk Utility.
2. If that doesn't resolve the installer issue for your account, try resetting the PRAM. Reboot holding the Cmd+Option+P+R keys and wait till the "startup chime" sounds three times, then release the keys.

QuickTime 7.1.5 installer won't run

The QuickTime 7.1.5 installer won't run. Installer says "QuickTime 7 cannot be installed on this computer." "This update requires less than MacOS X 10.4."

I looked in both the 7.1.5 and the 7.1.3 packages and could see no reference to the Two QuickTime plugins. The dates of the existing plugins differ a little from yours: pluginplugin is dated 14 Jan 2003, mod 15 April 2005 and web plugin is created 15 April 2005, mod same date.
Before I venture into these deep waters I'd like to be sure what actually loads these new plugins

How do I install the FM10 licensing fix when Adobe Update Installer won't run?

Adobe Update Installer won't run so can't install FM10 licensing fix
This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)
Aug 9, 2013 12:09 PM
Tags (edit): none (add)
Because FM10 began crashing with "fatal" errors whenever I tried to generate a TOC for a small (65 page) book, I researched workarounds and none of them worked. Now that I have delivered a crippled deliverable via Acrobat manipulations, I would like to fix FM. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, got some updates, and then received the "licensing fix" error that popped up in January. I'm wondering why this fix was included not in the updates. That said, the licensing fix package, first, would not unzip so I downloaded it again. I unzipped it but I got a message that Adobe Updater Installer could not run and after several clicks I found that file. I reinstalled Adoble Update Installer but it still does not run.
I am running Windows XP and have TCS 3.5.I uninstalled FM and RH but not Acrobat, Captivate, or Photoshop.
So, now what? Listen to my supervisor who says never use FM again?
P.S. Why do I have to enter a title for my question and then do it again when this page opens??

Give Adobe Support a call or contact the TCS team at [email protected] - something in your environment is causing the installer to fail (I'd guess).

Itunes installer won't run in Windows 7

I am trying to install the latest version of itunes on my new laptop and the installer won't run. It is a samsung sereis 7 notebook running Windows 7.
I have downloaded itunes multiple times and tried running as administrator. I do not get any error, and occasionally a progress bar will flash up on screen for a couple of seconds but then nothing happens. Other times I don't even get the progress bar, just nothing happens when I try to open the installer.
Would appreciate any help with this problem. Its driving me crazy not being able to add new music to my ipod!

It installs logic pro but at the end it gives me an installation error. Someone stole my mac osx cd at school so im unable to reinstall or repair osx. In the disk utility it doesnt let me repair my disk. Some help would be much appreciated.

Shut down and reboot holding the Command + S keys. Allow the black screen with white text to fully load, then type fsck -yf and hit return. Wait until you see "Disk has been modified" or "Disk appears to be okay" then type reboot and hit return.

Downloaded Firefox 5 onto Mac OS 10.4 and it won't run, how do I revert to to Firefox 3.1 which I was using before?

As this is not my own computer and shouldn't have tried to update from Firefox 3.1 to 5, I did and now it won't work. This MiniMac has OS 10.4.11 on it and I would just like to go back to 3.1 without having to download from a third party site. Thanks.

There is no Firefox 3.1 as perhaps you mean 3.6.18
as of Firefox 4.0 it is Mac OSX 10.5 or newer and a Intel that is required.
Firefox 3.6.18 can be found at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html as just look in the Mac section and pick the language you want.

MBP goes to Mac OSX utilities, How do I get it running without losing all my files?

My late 08 mbp froze yestersay. I turned it off and turned it back on, when i did, it went straight to Mac OSX utilities and it is saying I need to restore my computer. I have a lot of files from school on here that I cannot lose. How can I get it running without losing all my files? Please helpp
Thank you

Do you have any backups? I'm guessing not, from what you've said, in which case you may be about to learn the hard way why backups are important.
First, when your computer boots into recovery mode, try using Disk Utility to repair the hard drive. If there are no problems to repair, the cause is elsewhere. If the problems are fixed, try rebooting and see if the system is working again. If the problems cannot be fixed, you could try a program like DiskWarrior, which can fix things Disk Utility cannot.
If repairs work, or were not necessary, but the system still won't start up, try reinstalling the system. It will just install over your existing system files, leaving everything else intact. (In theory, anyway... if there's something badly wrong, you can never count on that, but without backups you have few choices.)
If the disk absolutely cannot be repaired by anything, you can try recovering important files to another hard drive using something like Data Rescue, File Salvage or Stellar Phoenix.
Regardless of what happens, you need to start backing up ASAP. See my Mac Backup Guide for more information.

Labview Installer won't run on target PC

Hi,
I just created a Labview app and made an installer build, but once I try to install it on the target PC, I get an error saying that I must install Labview on the PC first. The instructions for Labview (and the book I have) are very vague about saving, creating builds, and installers. I thought that the installer includes the run-time engine with the installer, so a full version of Labview isn't needed on the target PC. I even tried installing the run-time engine by itself beforehand, but it still won't work. Can someone clear this up for me, please? I'm very new to Labview, and programming in general. Thanks!

You shouldn't have to include the VI for an exe distribution in the installer.
In the Installer creation, there's a option to have the Development Environment needed to install, perhaps you have (accidently) activated that setting?
Good Luck,

Installer won't run.

After moving to a new MacBook, I deauthorized Creative Suite Std 3.3 on my old computer.
But trying to use the serial numbers failed, so I was told by Adobe support to uninstall the apps, then download the 3.3 suite again and run the installer.
I did that, but the installer will not run. It challenges me for my Mac password, which I provide, and then about 10 seconds it fails, popping up the dialog box "STARTUP ERROR: REQUIRED RESOURCES ARE MISSING"
I have downloaded it three times today, and each has the same result. And it's a 2.2 GB download.
I have no applications and I need to do a project!

Wdfs[0ioajsdfpa98djosf it sounds like you possibly used the Migration assistant at one point to attempt to move Creative Suite 3.3 to your new computer. Is this correct?
If so you can try running the uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers once the uninstall is complete you will then want to also run the CS Cleaner Tool. You can find details on it's use at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
If you continue to face difficulties then my best advice would be to format, reinstall the OS, and then use the Migration assistant to only move over your documents and settings. Adobe applications are not designed to be copied from one computer to another. This is basically what happens when running the Migration assistant. I have seen Users spend hours and even days trying to resolve the difficulties introduced by copying the install files to their new computer. Once the Migration assistant has copied over your documents and settings you can then reinstall from your installation media/files.

Can't install itunes 10.3.1.55, installer won't run

I have been able to download the installer program, but when I run the installer nothing happens except for a brief appearance of a loading bar on the screen, which soon vanishes. No error messages, it just won't run.
I have tried right click and run as administrator - same problem. I have tried uninstalling itunes and quicktime, made no difference. I have restarted, I have removed all temp files and old versions of the installer. Tried redownloading the installer. Still nothing.
So now I have no itunes, but a new ipad enroute that I won't be able to sync argh!
Running windows vista 64bit (yes I am using the 64 bit installer program) on an HP laptop.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Well as I mentioned earlier I had alreayd tried the uninstalling (as per the apple support website).
I went through trying to change the permissions - which seemed a little confusing as although I am the only use of the computer there were about 5 options - but I picked the one that was the same as my user name. Changed most of the permissions for program files and program files (x86) (some of them it wouldn't allow me to change "access denied"), restarted and tried to install again. Same thing happened as before - nothing.
I have never received the error message that was mentioned in that thread.
edit: I don't have anyone I can get the itunes files off at the moment, so I haven't tried transferring them from another computer.

Hi.Downloaded OSX Mavericks10.9.1. Won't run Apple Works 6.0, CanoScan Toolbox X, CNQL 3201.ButtonManager SUGGESTIONS

Hi.Downloaded OSX Mavericks 10.9.1.On start of install, say's won't run Apple Works 6.0, CanoScan Toolbox X, CNQL 3201.ButtonManager! Yes, I know AW6 is in dinosaur land (but I don't really want to have to convert 1000's of documents to Pages) and also don't want to ditch perfectly good Canon 9900F scanner. So, is there an update re software to keep both items running if I update from OSX10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to the free update OSX10.9.1 (Mavericks) Suggestions Please? Ta Ian

Regarding AppleWorks - No. It will never run under Mavericks.
Pages will open most AW word processing documents.
Numbers will open most AW spreadsheets.
Keynote will open most AW presentations.
Your Canon scanner may work under Apple's Image Capture software, you'll have to test that.
Best of luck.

Java Malfunction in Mac OSX 10.5 - .jar files won't open

All of a sudden none of my .jar files will open (most importantly the dimsum.jar which I use almost everyday). I have run a clean up of my cache and tried everything I can think of to bring back the .jar operations and nothing works as it did before. Upon attempting to open the file my Console messages consist of a huge list of font names something like (0x0-0x233233.com.apple.JarLauncher1561 Type: TONES Name: ZoobeSSK-BoldItalic) and I get a loading window that freezes never leads to the main program.
I had this problem before and I simply rearranged my Java preferences so the 32-bit J2SE 5.0 was at the top of the list and it solved the issue but this time it didn't work. Right now my Java Applications list order is like this
J2SE 5.0 32-bit
Java SE 6 64-bit
J2SE 1.4.2 32-bit
J2SE 5.0 64-bit
Being that I am not an official "developer" and that I only basically know my way around OSX, I thought maybe I could skirt the problem by changing my .jar file into an .app and skip the Java console all together. So I DL'd jarbundler which it turns out is also a .jar file and it won't open either. I simply get a message saying "The Java JAR file "jarbundler 2.1.0.jar" could not be launched."
Here is the Console message when I attempt to open Jarbundler.jar if this helps:

Can anyone PLEASE suggest a solution? Or a reason as to why this might have happened when it was working fine a month ago and how to prevent this from happening again?
Thanks in Advance

Recently nothing has really changed... I tried reinstalling my stock fonts and that didn't help. The programs that aren't working are Dimsum (http://www.mandarintools.com/dimsum.html) and Jar Bundler that comes with the Apple's free Xcode Developer Tools. I thought if I could get Jar Bundler to work I could turn Dimsum into an app and dodge the problem altogether, but that didn't work either... My Java is updated (according to my computers Software Update window) and everything else seems to be working fine... I hope it doesn't turn into a system reinstall...

HP OfficeJet 4500 and MAC OSX 10.6.8 installation problem

I've recently bought a HP OfficeJet 4500 and I'm having problems with the Macintosh installation.
I'm on Intel Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I connected the printer to my iMac by using the USB cable.
The CD included with the printer is not readable, so I had to download the driver (OJ4500vG510a-f_Mac.dmg) from the HP website.
When I run the installer, the application is not able to recognize the device so no model is displayed in the list; then, I choose to continue the installation without specifying the model but when I have to do the configuration the installer is not able to find the correct device and so the setup procedure fails.
What I want is to use the printer wireless, so I think I should perform the configuration procedure and to specify that I want to use the Wi-Fi connection but I never reach this step because installer fails before.
I have to say that I successfully installed this printer on Windows XP and Windows 7 by downloading the drivers from the HP website and installing them without problems, but I'm not able to do the same thing with my Mac.
Can you help me, please?
What I have to do to get my printer work with my mac?

Hi,
I got the impression you are using the wrong software for your printer.
In order to get aligned, there are 3 sub models of the 4500 series:
HP Officejet 4500 Desktop (G510a) - Provide USB connectivity only. - The driver posted above intended for this model.
HP Officejet 4500 (G510g) - provide USB and Wired ethernet network connection
HP Officejet 4500 Wireless (G510n) - Provide USB and Wireless network connection,
As you mentioned the printer connected to the network, therefore I doubt if the correct driver has been used.
Above you may find a direct download link for both of the models
Simply click the model which identical to the one listed on the front of the printer,
Regards,
Shlomi
