OS X 10.4.11 install or removal help - Desktop icons missing

I'm really frustrated by this upgrade install.
Did the automated version of upgrade 10.4.10 to 10.4.11, it took forever but finally completed. Automatic reboot, took forever. When it finally came back, all the desktop icons are missing. I can see them in a Finder window. I dloaded and installed the 10.4.11 combo for PPC at nearly 3 time the size (180 MB vs ~ 49MB), auto reboot and still the same thing, no desktop icons.
Much thank in advance for direction to fix or to revert back to the 10.4.10.
Cheers,

Is the 10.3.1 Disc the original one for this Mini series, or for another Mac?
You can't download 10.4, & it can be expensive...

How do you remove a desktop icon with out deleting the whole program?

i downloaded software online and it went into my application folder but instead of just the program the whole folder did with manuals and everything, so i copyed that to the desk top and then put the just the program back into the application folder. Now how do i delete the other one off the desktop, with out deleting the program,

If you removed the application from the folder of other files, then deleting the folder has no effect on the application file. However, you might check that the application doesn't require any of the files in that folder before you remove it. Drag it to the Trash, but don't Empty the Trash until you're sure the application works without it.

How do you remove a desktop icon without deleteing it?

cant get my icons on my desktop to go away

The icons are usually files or disks. Move the files into a folder besides your Desktop folder. You could put them in "Documents" or "Movies", for example. Under the "Preferences" option under the Finder menu, you can uncheck the visibility of hard drives or CDs if you want.

Removing desktop icon of NFS mounted drive

Hi,
I have an NFS mounted drive (on a linux server) on my mac mini, running OS 10.4. I don't want the icon to appear on the desktop. Is there any way to remove this?
The reason is as follows:
- the NFS mounted directory is of the form servername:/home which contains home directories for all the students. This is mounted to /Volumes/servername. The students home directories are set to /Volumes/servername/userid. Thus, in the finder, their home directory shows up correctly, and they can browse their network files.
- However, /Volumes/servername is shown as a mounted disk icon on the desktop, and if students open this, they get a list of everyone's home directories, which they have to scroll through to reach their own home directory. This gives them immediate access to other people's home directories. Granted, these should all be locked and inaccessable to them, but if anyone has messed up their permissions, everyone will instantly be able to see that there is no red X by the home directory, and they can browse in.
- I realise people can browse in anyway, through the Finder, but its just nice not to make it quite so obvious to them.
So... any ideas on how to remove this desktop icon? Note that it needs to be removed for all users (a hundred or so students, logging in through LDAP).
Thanks!

Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I have figured this out now...
If you mount the directories at the point /home (or at least ask it to - in fact it mounts it somewhere in /private) then the desktop icon is not displayed by default.

Windows Installer error message when installing or removing iTunes

When I try to either upgrade, install, or remove iTunes, I get this message:
"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
Anyone know how I can fix this?

Microsoft have this help article on this error message;

ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

iTunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

I am trying to install windows 7 to my Macbook pro with bootcamp but every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7", any solutions ?

Hi, I am trying to install Windows on my MacBook Pro with bootcamp. Every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7". I did this before using the same computer and the same hard drive so I am not sure why this is happening now but did´t happen then. Any solutions ?

Was your Bootcamp info.plist manipulated to change any options?

Error message reads, " Wizard Interuppted before InDesign CS2 was comletely installed" when removing

Adobe Tech Support no longer supports CS2 since the release of CS4 and has referred me to knowledgebase and the forum for help.
This is my original problem:
When you try to start Adobe InDesign CS2, or Adobe InCopy CS2, the application returns one of the following error messages:
-- "Could not personalize your copy of [application] because of missing or invalid personalization information."
-- "Please personalize your copy of [application] to continue the setup process."
-- "The serial number you provided is not valid. Please check your serial number and re-enter it"
I was referred to:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331649
The instructions for all methods require that I remove InDesign, but I get an error message that says "Wizard Interuppted before InDesign CS2 was completely installed" when removing.
My OS is Windows XP. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you!

Step one is to back up your computer in case anything goes wrong.
Once you've done that, look at http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331300 which lists all the folder locations for the creative suite along with the registry keys. It says you should uninstall using ad/remove, but if this doesn't work it should be OK to remove things manually and edit the registry, then run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility.
At that point you should reboot and you should be able to try installing again.

How to install Windows on MAC? (Can't see the check box "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version" on Boot Camp Assistant)

I want to install Windows 7 on my MBP mid 2012 but in Boot Camp does not appear the check box: "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version". I continued with making the USB bootable with Windows 7 but then when I restart and boot with the USB I still can't install Windows because then I receive an error: ""Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of GPT partition style."
From OS with Boot Camp I didn't manage to make a partition for Windows instead I made one with Disk Utility (formated FAT).
After booting from USB that partition was also formated into NTFS necessary for Windows. Still the same error.
Any idea how to install Windows on my MAC?

My Windows copy is a X64.
MBP mid 2012 with Mountain Lion 10.8.3.
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro9,2
Processor Name:          Intel Core i5

If you are refering to this I tried to update the EFI version (I see only SMC version 2.9 as a diferrence of what I have) but on installing I received an error: "This software is not supported on your system."

The checkbox (Install or remove Windows 7) is disabled in bootcamp.

Hi, I want to get rid of windows that was installed using bootcamp on my early 2011 macbook pro but the checkbox (install or remove windows 7) is disabled in bootcamp. I tried to format the drive using disk utility but failed, It says "couldn't modify partition map". What can I do to remove windows 7 and unite all the data in my HDD into one single partition?

2 things, the option is greyed out because (1) 1st 2 items are unchecked or (2) the USB containing Windows and the drivers is not detected.
The newer 2013 machines seem to be very picky about the Windows install, as keys that worked on 2012 machines would no longer work on the 2013s. If you want a painless install, do this
DL the correct W7 ISO from here http://techverse.net/download-windows-7-iso-x86-x64-microsofts-official-servers/ - SP1 ISOs
Then insert your USB and select all 3 options. The program will copy this new ISO to your USB.
Only use a USB2 (not USB3) drive

You might want to look in your control panel for 'Java' icon. It should give you an option to enable java plugin into your browser. Let me know if you still face the issue.

I previously had PS CS5 Trial installed but removed it using both Control Panel Programs and deleting all files from the CS5 directory on Program Files. I then installed a purchased product from Adobe disc using the serial number on the case. But when I try to launch it, I get a screen headed Photoshop CS5 Extended Trial. It asks for the serial number and says that my trial has expired. It rejects the serial number from the Adobe case saying "This Serial Number is not valid for this product". It thinks that I still have the expired Trial Version installed. How do I convince it (the program) that the Trial Version is long gone and the currently installed product was installed with a valid and accepted serial number????

Let me know how it goes. Go into your Adobe account and register your serial number asap.

That way, should you lose it or you need support, it is on record that it's yours and you can fetch your s/n it from anywhere.
There are too may sad stories here, where people forgot and the box is buried or lost.
