Omg...cannot remove or reinstall or update, or any...

this is driving me crazy, because of this app, i keep getting dpkg error in fapman, can't update or remove it in HAM,  every apt-get update goes back to the psswitcher error

b noir,  we have no more news updates on how you all are doing down in Christs Church many weeks after the earth quakes? Hope all is getting back to the way you were before it hit?
Sadly not ... a lot of major damage still to be sorted out, and the smaller aftershocks from the Port-Hills/Banks-Peninsula locations and the new seam we seem to have popped directly under the Eastern suburbs continue to contribute to the settlement and liquefaction troubles. It's difficult to keep the roads in good repair, for example, when after an aftershock (or just overnight) the ground sinks under the tarmac, or the concrete things around the manholes float up a bit. Large areas of the central city still cordoned off. (There's a few big buildings tilting and so forth that need to be taken down.)
You can track the aftershocks here:
http://www.christchurchquakemap.co.nz/
... and there's more info lurking here:
http://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/quakes/recent_quakes.html
... and Mark Quigley's stuff is always worth a read:

  • HT1925 I cannot remove or reinstall Quicktime for Windows XP.  It keeps looking for Quicktime.msi file.  The file is in the folder but it does not think it is the right file.  How can I fix this?

    Quicktime keeps wanting to upgrade, but it will not finish becasue it cannot find the file quicktime.msi.  The file is in the folder where it thinks it is.  I have tried to uninstall and reinstall, but because it cannot find the file it stops.  I have tried to run Quicktime but it says it is not there.  How can I remove it so I can install it again.

    It appears it is fixed.  FYI.  I went to Major Geeks and it said:
    Project has been abandoned. You can now use Microsoft FixIt for this problem.

  • CANNOT REMOVE OR REINSTALL CS2  "Missing or Invalid Personalization Information"

    Hello,
      I am having all kinds of trouble with CS2. My company aquired a copy of the web based version to replace the outdated CS2 product CD we purchased years ago. The copy we got from adobe support is the web based version which is supposed to work with windows 7. It will install fine on a fresh install of windows 7, but when I got to install it on another W7 machine that has previously had CS2/CS5 installed on it, it gets an error any time I try to install the web based version we got. I have removed the previous installations of CS2 and CS5 (this includes the manual removal of CS2 using support docs from Adobe, but somehow the program is still in control panel> program list. The error I get when trying to install on the problem child is "The installer could not start because of the following reasons: Missing or invalid personalization information. Missing resource library.". Like I said I have removed all of the files and registry entries for these programs that I can find manually, but this error keeps halting the CS2 web based version installer, and CS2 is still showing up in the program list, so there HAS to be some files hiding somewhere. This is when a removal tool is just a no brainer... but that is no where to be found on the interwebs. If anyone has any information to put me onto a fix for this WITHOUT reinstalling windows I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks

    You have insufficient privileges to access the registry or your virus scanner is blocking it. Nothing Adobe can fix for you, you need to find the culprit on your system and/ or fix the registry permissions as explained here:

  • Cannot remove notification for app updates I already have.

    I had four apps which needed updating, so I updated them. Now all of my updates are completely updated but I can get rid of the little red number on the App Store logo. I'm on 8.1.2. Please help.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings.iTunes and APp Store and sign out and sing back in
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Backup and then restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    Last but I wold live it it before restoring as new
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Cannot remove older version of Apple Update to reinstall Itunes, tried control panel, no help, what do I do

    Message: "Cannot remove older version of Apple Update" when trying to reinstall Itunes. Tried using add remove programs in control panel, no help. Tried installing new quicktime, same message -- what do I do to get Itunes working again on my computer, using Windows xp

    I'm glad I put a smile on your face Stuff like this can drive me nuts.
    As I went to bed last night, I thought the same thing as you, to try a system restore. Otherwise, to answer the rest of your question, in XP, the location of the Update is in your Program Files/Apple Software Update.
    To find the hidden files that may be stopping you from disabling the updater, and doing a clean install, go to:
    My Computer, and on the Menu bar, click Tools/Folder Options/View/Show Hidden Files and Folders/click Apply/OK then double click on your main drive (C:)  then Documents and Settings/your user name/Application Data/ and delete the Apple computer folder with it iTunes and Preferences.
    Also in that previous views Local Settings/Application Data/Apple (Update Software)and also Apple Computer/iTunes.
    Go back to Documents and Settings (again from C: drive mode) click on All Users/Application Data/Apple and if you open up Installer Cache, you will also see that it has an Apple Updater in it (unless it was uninstalled on the original uninstall). Also from that Application Data window, you will see Apple Computer Folder which has previous iTunes info that needs to be deleted. Some of these folders may be gone, but at least you can check to see, to make sure.
    Here is a link from another post, to confirm or help clear up any of my paths/solutions.
    When you've done all that, restart your PC, and I would run CCleaner  (the free version links are just below the Buy and Download button) just to clean things up, and try your re-install.
    Hope I didn't overwhelm you.

  • App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), syc does not help; itunes store says it is installed and I cannot reinstall; deleting from itunes and synching does not remove "hung app"; HELP

    App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection and the app hung; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), synching does not help; itunes app store says it is installed, therefore I cannot reinstall; deleting the app from itunes and synching does not reinstall the app on the ipod; the app developers have not helped and told me to check with Apple (which I am doing, since I am past my 90 day tech support). Hoping someone can help with this hung "waiting' app problem.

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next download the app on the computer and try to sync.
    - Last, restore from backup.

  • Error message: cannot remove older versions of apple software update

    I recently got a 30 gb ipod, and i cant install itunes 7. I originally tried installing it at first, and it said cannot remove older applications of Apple Software Update. So i installed itunes 4 to put music on my ipod. Then i tried again to install itunes 7 and i keep getting the same error message. Anyone else having this problem? Can anyone give me some suggestions please?

    I would first try and remove both iTunes and Quicktime prior to doing the install of iTunes. The following link will show you how to remove both programs. Make sure you do Step 16 as it is usually Quicktime that causes problems with the upgrade.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    If it will not let you remove the programs, you can try using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. The download is about 1/4 of the way down the page. Good luck.

  • ERROR:1417  ---CANNOT REMOVE OR UPDATE  7.0.8

    I CANNOT REMOVE NOR UPDATE MY 7.0.8 VERSION OF ACROBAT READER. I'VE TRIED MANY FIXES TO REMEDY MY PROBLEM, WITH NO LUCK. THE ERROR MESSAGE I GET PROMPTS ME TO "CHECK WITH THE APPLICATION VENDOR TO INSURE THIS IS A VALID WINDOWS INSTALLED PATCH". PLEASE HELP ME REMOVE THIS NON-FUNCTIONING, OUTDATED VERSION WITHOUT DAMAGING OTHER PROCESSES.

    Hi..I went ahead and ran the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. I used it to remove "Adobe Reader 7.0.8." After doing this, I checked in "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel to make sure that AR 7.0.8 was gone, and it thankfully was. Then I deleted the WICU, ran CCleaner's registry cleaner, rebooted, and tried to install Adobe Reader 9.0. When I tried this, I got the following error message (this occurred during the time when the installer was "writing system registry values"):
    *****ADOBE READER 9 INSTALLER INFORMATION
    Error 1402. Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{C523F39 F-9C83-11D3-9094-00104BD0D535}\ProgID.
    Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.*****
    What should I do now? Do I need to do something about the "permissions" for this key?
    Thanks to anyone with advice...

  • HT1923 I cannot uninstall apple mobile device support.  I am following the instructions for removing and reinstalling itunes but now stuck.  Please help.

    I am following the instructions for removing and reinstalling itunes because I had a "msvcr80.dll missing from your computer" error.  I have uninstalled itunes and apple software update but the next one in order "apple mobile device support" will not uninstall.  According to the instructions, that one has to be removed before I can do the rest.  Would love any help I can get.

    Hello and thanks so much for your quick reply. I am at a standstill, because I have done those things already and it has not worked. The repair install procedure seemed to take place quickly, but the same thing happened again when I tried to uninstall it the program after that.... It seems to proceed, then the progress bar goes backward, and there it still is!
    When I downloaded the Microsoft Fixit program and asked it to uninstall the Apple Mobile device Support, it started but then got stuck and I had to shut my computer off, as it froze everything up!
    I'm hoping you can help..... This seems to be a problem with the new version, and it's frustrating, because I can't use Itunes on my computer at all till we find a solution.
    Perhaps if I try to restore my computer to before the Itunes 11.1.4 uodate?
    Thanks so much for your help,
    Shirley 261

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • We are trying to reinstall itunes and cannot remove old virsion

    we are trying to reinstall itunes and cannot remove old virsion

    Go here - http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/ - and try contacting support. While I still show Lion in my purchases, I can't seem to download it again as I am currently running 10.8. But I made a backup of the install app so that I have both Lion and Mountain Lion installers. If you are able to download it again, make certain that you quit the install app and make a USB flash drive installer or DVD using Lion DiskMaker (which also works with Mountain Lion).
    I'm curious as to what sort of problems you encountered when installing ML? Did you make the install? Or did it quit or something?
