OS X will not install on recently zero'd out HD...HELP!

I recently did a 7-pass erase to my HD as I plan on selling my computer. After the erase was done I shut down my comp and rebooted from the Leopard install disk. About 60-70% of the way through the install fails with errors about 'HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers'...and when removed from install...'AdditonalVoiceCommands'.Those might not be the exact error messages...im going from memory.
Anyone else have this problem? I've used this install disk recently and there are no scratches on it....

Win XP will not install on K9N4 Ultra based system, please help!

Hello, i was hoping some1 could help me with a problem ive been trying to sort out for the past week or so. After buying and building a new system i havent been able to get Windows XP to install, the setup formats and copies the initial files correctly then restarts the computer for the first time, the Windows logo then displays on the screen but after that the screen goes blank and nothing happens, the HD led flashes regularly but nothing else happens. Ive tried installing with both XP home and pro, neither worked, installing Vista works without any problems. I have tried using the Sata drivers from the motherboard CD and from MSI website but that doesnt make any difference, ive also checked the CPU temp which at idle is 25C. Ive tried pretty much everything i can think of without buying extra components to try which i am reluctant to do. On one occasion XP did install but at the time i was trying to install to the second hard drive with a failed install still on the first hard drive, thinking that whatever was causing the problem had been solved i then formatted both drives to do reinstall so that i wouldnt have to screw around with the boot record manually, ive since tried recreating this situation but it hasnt worked when i tried it a second time. Ive tried installing with only one hard drive installed with a freshly made partition and full format and it still did not work.
My specs are:
MSI K9N4 Ultra-F
AMD AM2 X2 3800+
Corsair DDR2 667Mhz 2 DIMMS 1Gb each
MSI Geforce 7300GT 256Mb
Seagate Barracude 7200.9 Sata2 hard disks (2) 250Gb each
450W Win Power PSU
There is also a Creative Sound blaster audigy sound card and a samsung DVD RW, nothing else is connected.
The only thing that i could think might be a problem is the PSU which is a pretty cheap one, also only has 20 pin and 4 pin connecters (both are connected) but i was under the impression that this would be ok.
If anyone has any ideas or knows something i dont about why this isnt working with XP please let me know.
Thanks

Have you checked the memory timings in BIOS Setup? At one time MSI used to just get them wrong and I recall having to set DDR CL to 3 (correct for the DIMMs I had), instead of the 2.5 it chose - no idea on DDR2 though but check that your Corsair specs cross-check with what's used. Is the Sound Blaster Audigy installed? If so try taking it out and go into BIOS Setup and Load Optimized Defaults, then disable all the "fluff" which is not absolutely necessary for a basic install, like on-board audio, ethernet, unused IDE/SATA channels, FireWire(?) etc. You want to get down to a minimum required Windows driver set and if that helps, start adding things back one by one. Also check your mbrd seating for shorts and the CPU heatsink seating... does the CPU temp look right in BIOS Setup.

10.6 Will not install from disc to a S.M.A.R.T. verified, zero-wiped, manufacturer's original, internal hard-drive.

I recently wiped my main drive using zero-data process. It seems to be "okay" when verifying its integrity. It is also "verified" according to S.M.A.R.T.
10.6 from Apple's Installation Disc will not install. It makes 20 estimated minutes remaining, then tells me it cannot copy necessary files. Is my superdrive defective out-of-box and also a year later or is my installation disc a defect? Online communities fail to provide any other causes.
By the way, using Recovery HD to download and install Lion is a failure. It tried three times, each ending in failure, unable to verify said package. Apple, try harder.

I think my superdrive might be defective. It ratchets an awful lot while trying to copy necessary files for installing Snow Leopard. I am taking to a Genius Bar, running a hardware test consistently gets locked up. Here is more on that!:
Inserted retail Hardware Test disc, booted holding D.
Probing took 12 hours and counting, I hard reset my computer.
(Suggested by others) I unplugged my Logitech mouse and, wow!, probing completed.
During pass one of mem test, it locked up showing no progress for an hour-- hard reset!
Apple's Hardware Test was a total failure on my end. An ethernet connection to a router and my Apple keyboard were the only things connected to my 2011 iMac while booting to this hardware test! Bummer! I trust my Apple team will have better diagnostic equipment.
Can Apple Hardware Test even determine if an iMac's superdrive is bad?

I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.

I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

I am trying to use and education program that needs Java applets and it will not run on Safari. IE will not install from the web. How do I get a browser that will work to install so I can use this program when I travel.

Try using FireFox. IE will only run on a Mac if you run Windows on the Mac.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

IPad 2 Restore - Apps Will NOT Install

I have recently been having intermittent problems with my home button being unresponsive on my iPad 2. I decided I would try a restore to see if this would resolve the problem. The home button issue may be better (more time will tell) but whoa did this create an entire new set of challenges.
What I did:
1) Went into iTunes to update all apps afterwards performed multiple syncs and backups just to be safe.
2) After restore to factory settings was completed I attempted to restore iPad 2 to my latest backup from earlier in the morning.
3) Attempted restore multiple times each time an error message states: The app "x" was not installed on the iPad because the app could not be found
4) The 26 missing Apps appear in iTunes with a "Will Install" button. Pressing this button changes it to "Install". Attempted several additional syncs but apps would not appear on iPad. I also tried to restore with the iPad off, USB disconnected, holding down the home button, attaching the USB Factory Restore to no avail. All of the missing apps are current and available in iTunes such as: Amazon, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, AroundMe, Yelp, Cards, BBC News, etc...you get it...common basic apps all gone missing.
5) Went into iTunes Store on the iPad 2. Searched in folder for Not on this iPad and Purchased. Several purchased apps were missing from the list but some were there. I tried to manually download the apps that were listed from the Cloud as well as manually enter the app name to re-download and install. All of my missing apps when searched had the Cloud download icon even if they didn't appear in the Not on this iPad or Purchased screens.
6) I am currently attempting to download all the missing apps from the Cloud and will try another sync.
7) What should have been a very short an easy restore has now gone on for over 5 hours as I try multiple syncs, restarts, restores...
Does anyone know what is happening and how to prevent it in the future?
All of my software is up to date. I am running OS X 10.8.4, iOS 6.1.3, all apps were updated on both device and iTunes library this morning prior to restore.
My iTunes settings for backups is set to iCloud automotic however I performed a backup to computer before attempting the initial restore.
Please help!
Thanks!!!

I have a similar issue. I recently purchased an iPad Mini, and I started off by backing it up from the apps I had on my iPhone. Now, I have a number of apps that never downloaded and that I don't want on the iPad. Some of these are apps that I don't need, while others are the iPhone versions of apps. There are something like 23 apps that I have no use for, but iTunes tries to install every time I connect. I've also tried clicking the 'Will Install' buttons. There's no way to delete these apps from the iPad without first installing them, as far as I can see, and there's no way to NOT install them, in iTunes.
It''s not just annoying, it's causing problems with installation of larger files and movies. Now, every time I sync to the computer, I get a warning that I'm over capacity by 580 MB, and larger apps will not install! Clicking Revert and a bunch of other things doesn't work, either. And I can't just delete some of the apps, because I or my wife use them on our phones!

IPod Shuffle will not install or connect to iTunes!

I recently got a Toshiba laptop so had to transfer everything from my old laptop to there. As expected I re-installed iTunes and install my iPhone 4S, iPod Classic, Touch & Nano all work fine. However, my iPod Shuffle 3rd Gen (the one with no buttons) will not install its driver to my PC or connect to iTunes. I dont have a clue what is wrong as when I plug it in it charges with the light and it plays music thats on it from my old laptop fine! The only onboard button is the 3 way switch (OFF/REPLAY/SHUFFLE).
I give many thanks to any help given!
Thanks,

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Officejet Pro 8600 N911g new firmware will not install.

My printer: Officejet Pro 8600 N911g
Current Firmware: CLP1CN1416AR
My problem: Downloaded the latest firmware update (Version CLP1CN1322CR). When I go to install it, my printer shows as listed, but in the STATUS cloumn, it is listed as "Not applicable".
I turned my printer on/off.
I tried updating via network, and when it checks for an update, it states there are no updates avaiable.
I tried updating via USB.
I tried updating via the LCD panel on the printer, and when it checks for an update, it states there are no updates avaiable.
Is there something wrong as to why this current firmware will not install?
Thanks for any help.

New Firmware (CLP1CN1416R) was installed automatically (Printer was set for "Auto Update"). Prior to new firmware install, printer has performed flawlessly...no problems. Immediately after printer updated it's firmware automatically I began to have multiple problems.
First, it kept asking me to perform an "Alignment" which I dutifully performed only to have message come back that 'Alignment Failed". Printed sheet looked fine, and printer printed fine but now before any page will print the "Alignment Recommended" message comes up which I have to then override (Click 'Do Not Align' button at bottome of 'Alignment Recommended' message box. This is getting really OLD!! Simply unacceptable for a business class printer!!
Also, the printer randomly has started giving other messages such as "There is a problem with the printer or ink system" AND "Cartridges are Missing" ("when I've just recently put in new catridges and levels are OK!!) AND "Paper Jam" (when there is no jam!!)
None of these problems have occurred prior to the automatic firmware update. I believe the reason HP hasn't posted the new firmware update to their Customer Service website is that they know there are bugs in it and don't want to compound the problems the new version has already created. I seriously question why an automatic updating of firmware was done with equipment set to "Auto Update" and yet that same new firmware is not available to those who might have had their printers set for "Manual Update".
HP Customer Service - You need to issue a statement from the company as to what has happened with this firmware update. If there are problems, take responsibility for it and make it right. HP knows who it sent out auto updates to. These printer owners should be immediately notified and the situation made right. It is not real assuring to have your front line staff not know why the new firmware is not on the website. I do not like the idea of having to pay for a Support Call when the problems with my out of warranty printer are directly tied to the Auto Updating of said printer with apparently defective firmware.
I'd really appreciate a response back from someone in HP Customer Service.

MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000 -- will not install on Windows 7

Thinkcenter E series 8291-ETU --- upgraded from XP to Windows 7 yesterday.
Any ideas on how to get this product installed in Windows 7 ?

I recently did a clean install of Win7 Ult on my X61 7676A24, and this is the only Lenovo software that I could not find a Win 7 solution for. However,
1. I was able to load WinDVD8 upgrade (from Lenovo's Win7 information page) after first loading the WinDVD5 version that was the last good release for Vista.
2. The Multimedia Center for Think Offerings is basically Roxio's suite for writing cd/dvd's, drag to disc and so on.
Since I could not load this anyway, I was forced to try out Win7's inbuilt cd/dvd writing - it works perfectly well. Even better, Win7 natively supports an excellent ISO burning tool. So, I think if you explore these inbuilt tools, you can probably live without the Mul Cent for Think Off.

Photosmart Essentials will not install Fatal Error

Windows Vista Home Premium. -- I recently move my Photosmart D7560 printer to a different computer. I need to install Photosmart Essentials to allow me to print to a printable CD. I downloaded the latest drivers for the full featured installation of the D7560, but the Photosmart Essentials will not install. The printer works and prints fine, but the printing software gives a Fatal Error during installation. The message is Problem with windows Installer Packatge. A program required for the install couldn not run. Contact HP! I tried the download 2 times from HP and 1 time from CNET. Same error each time. I do not have the original disk that came with the printer. Is that the problem? How can I get Essentials installed? Thanks.

Simply will not install! Please help...

Hello guys.
Recently managed to buy myself a new MacPro and have given my old PowerMac G4 (AGP Graphics) to my daughter to work with while at university on her Art course.
This original machine (with a bus speed of 100) has been upgraded so that it now has the following specs:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4
Machine Model: PowerMac3,3
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3,3)
Number of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.2GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 2MB
Memory: 1.31 GB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
It also has a RADEON 9200 Graphics Card.
Bought FCE for her to start her editing... but it simply will not instal. It WILL install the accomp[anying "Live Type" and "Soundtrack" applications perfectly, but the "Final Cut Express" application remains dimmed out when running the installer from the disks.
Have I overlooked something in the specs and done something horribly stupid?
Any help you can offer would be mightily, mightily appreciated. Thank you.

You don't say what the Operating System is.
It should be at least OSX 10.4.6 and QuickTime 7.0.4.
Ian.
SORRY ! I have just noticed the 10.4.9 at the bottom of your post.
