Problem installing (any) software

I've installed Yosemite recently.
When iTunes 12.0.1 came out it did not install.
Searched for that and found some similar problems and solutions but could not solve my problem.
Now I realized that it is not just iTunes... nothing install.
The installer just stops in the middle without any message.
Found this in /var/log/install.log.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Problems installing any Adobe CS software

Hello.
I wanted to try out Photoshop, inDesign and Illustrator CS5.
I already had photoshop CS4 installed. However after installing windows 7 64 bit (I had windows vista 32 bit before) I have huge problems installing any adobe product.
I had to install photoshop over night and the next day it wasn't even ready. At the beginning of the installation it says it would take about 15 minutes but after reaching 20% it already says 155 minutes. before having windows 7 64 bit I had no problems installing photoshop CS4 but any adobe product I try to install now (either cs4 or cs5) needs extremely long to install (if it even finishes) I usually cancel because I have o hope it will actually finish since "needed" time is constantly growing during the installation.
My System :
- windows 7 64 bit
- intel core2quad 8300 (4x 2.5 Ghz)
- 7 GB Ram
- some medion motherboard
- not the best drive but still enough. (360 GB)
I'll try to burn the data on a DVD now but it can't be that my drive is that slow.
If anyone has the same problems, or have some advices / solutions, please answer,
thanks in advance.

I built a new computer so installed clean... but I have read that installing Win7 over anything else (upgrade) does not always work well compared to installing onto a freshly formatted drive

My Mac will not let me install any software I download. In some cases (Like quicktime) i get a message that says "Can't create the folder" I have it with adobe air and its creating all sorts of issues. My software is up to date and I have 10.8.2.

A whole bunch of issues here.
I can't install any software. It started when iPlayer stopped working at all. This led me to try to update software versions such as Adobe Air to 3.5 (Failed) then quicktime player 7.6.6 as recommended (Failed) then the printer packed up and I have tried to install the downloaded software drivers for Canon from the Apple site (Failed again)
In all cases they let me download so I have the file, but not install.
Quicktime tells me it can't install a file "/var/folders/15....then a long string of numbers....ending in T//install.1347YKihUc".
The Canon Print Driver has a very similar message.
Adobe Air says "An error occurred whilst installing....contact my administrator" which is me and I am fine with it ;-)
Remember this all started because my iPlayer (and my printer) just stopped working and I have been trying to fix those.
I am a bit techy but not much.
Can anyone assist?
Many Thanks.

I have Firefox 3.6.6, and now that Firefox 4.0 is available, it crashes constantly. Sometimes less than 5 minutes after I open it. I have a Mac 10.4.11, so Firefox 4.0 isn't an option for me. When I asked Ff to check my plug-ins it said there was an error and to check back later. Twice.
Because I didn't have any (any) problems with my Ff before the upgrade became available, I am forced to question if Ff has done something to make the earlier version crash so you'll upgrade, but I can't afford to upgrade my Mac right now.
In the meantime, I do need a browser that works! I dislike Safari, Chrome is also not available on Mac 10.4.11, and Explorer is just plain not available on Mac.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix my Firefox 3.6.6?

Can't install any software on my T61p laptop?

I have an issue with installing any software programs to my Lenovo Laptop. I have checked the CD ROM - diagnostics etc. The tests passed with flying colors. The music CD works great. I am using Windows XP.
I am sure that there is nothing wrong with a CD ROM because when I restore the system from the backup I did back in 3/19/2008 - it records any software that I like to install. I am using all the original installation CD's.
I don't want to keep it in the that state from 3/19/2008 because I would loose all my files plus I had a wireless Netgear installed which it was painful to install in a first place. I like to keep the setting I currently have and files but I NEED THIS CD ROM TO WORK.
I have tried to recover software from the 3/19/2008 date but they don't work either. Besides what is the point of not having not operational CD/RAM. I read online that sometimes VIRUS can reset the settings for installing software, but how this is possible. Why the Windows XP allows to switch such important settings.
I also checked the properties of CD/ROM for enable, disable and they set as enable. What is stopping recording on this laptop in the state I am in now. I have a virus software - no viruses either.
I have been dealing with this for 3 weeks now and I am out of ideas. I have called Lenovo and they said that they only deal with hardware issues. I have this computer less then 7 months and I have 2 year assistance from Lenovo.
I would appreciate if maybe some Lenovo Technical Rep would read this note so he/she can offer some ideas to deal with this issue. I do not want to restore this computer to factory settings or 3/19/2008 (then I am sure the CD/ROM would work)
Thanks for your help.

Hi - thanks for trying to help me.
1. I have received the computer on 3/05/2008. I have installed Adobe Photoshop, Picture Studio, Outlook Express, MC Word, Power Point, Excel, Business Cards creator, Symantec Antivirus and bunch of other programs that I had original CD's. At the time I had DSL- Cable internet Connection. I also, did all the Windows Updates and Lenovo Updates. I had Windows XP installed already as operating system by Lenovo.
2. On 3/19/2008 I did a backups so the info with all the programs working properly were stored in computer's memory on drive C.
3. On 10/10/2008 I have installed a Wireless Netgear with a help of Netgear support team. I have turned all the wireless radio's on, setup a network etc. I did not do any backup at the time.
4. On 11/10/2008 the Symantec Antivirus cought a virus - Trojan Horse and stored in a Quarantine. Later on that day I wanted to open Adobe Photoshop to cut some pictures and graphics and the program was "FREEZING". I have tried to open Business Card Creator program and it was FREEZING as well.
I did a full system virus scan to make sure there is no viruses left. It was showing that one stored in quarantine. I also did a spyware scan LavaSoft - Advare and Seach and Destroy spyware. Some was removed. The programs were still freezing. The internet worked OK plus Outlook Express. I tried to figured out what to do for a few days.
5. 11/14/08 - I have removed the Adobe Photoshop and Business Card Reader from Add/Remove programs feature. Then I have restarted a computer. I figured since I have original CD's so I will reinstall them. I have placed a CD in CD/ROM and I hear the reading but when I hit the install the CD was just spinning. It refuses to record anything. I click next/install so I can place registration numbers and I see no screen. Same with other CD. It freezes.
Well, then I tough that maybe the CD is damaged, so I have put it in another desktop computer that I have and it installs it super - no problems. Same as other program.
6. Then I tried to play a music on the Lenovo laptop- well, it works OK.
7. Then I decided to use ThinkVantage feature and see if any error that I might have on Windows or maybe CD drive will be shown on diagnostics. It took a while while a detail process was completed and no error's found. I also did a VIRUS Scan that is offered on ThinkVantage on Lenovo (no virus found). Then I did a system backup 11/14/2008 - figured just in case.
8. Well, then I thought I try again with any other installation CD - just any that might work and install something for a try on a laptop and nothing. It spins and no installation boxes, no features (most of the time it freezes the laptop).
9. Next, I tried to restore only a program from a previous backup from 3/19/2008. I have chosen Adobe Photoshop that worked great on 3/19/2008. Nothing - does not work at all.
10. Next on 12/05/2008 - I did a full system restore to 3/19/2008. I figured that I had nothing important on laptop that I need plus maybe I can reinstall a Wireless Netgear with a help of Netgear CD and instruction booklet. Plus it would give me a chance to test a CD/ROM if it works.
11. Surprise! After restoration of the Windows XP to a state from 3/19/2008 I have noticed that Adobe Photoshop is on it and it works great. Does not freezes and works great. Then I have installed a few new programs that I never needed in a first place on that laptop but I figured I need to test them if they install anyway. They install with a ease. Next, I have deleted Adobe Photoshop from Add/Remove feature of Windows XP and restarted a computer. Well, Surprise again! The CD installs Adobe Photoshop with an ease - no problems. Boxes for registration copy come on. Completes the process - fully installed. I have shut down and restarted a computer to be sure that it works - open's up, loads and I can use it on any picture.
12. 12/05/2008 - I tried to reinstall my wireless internet connection. (I could connect to DSL internet with a cable). I placed a CD follow the prompts. I kept the same names on the network I had before since I figured it is less confusion. Well, it was a pain. It was late then anyway plus I know that Netgear gives you 3 months of any support for free once you buy a product and after that you have to pay per accident.
13. 12/07/2008 - I was so tired with trying to work that Netgear so I have restored the system to 11/14/2008 state from my C: backup. I was curious that maybe I can look at some network features and see what I have been doing wrong.
14. 12/07/2008 - I came back to the same state. Internet works, Outlook Express works but Adobe Photoshop is gone since I deleted it on 11/14/2008. I think if it was on it it would freezes anyway. Again, I try to install a CD - any CD and nothing.
Sorry that this is a bit confusing but I tough that at least I can show a process what I exactly did. My question is - is there any feature on Windows XP that prevents from installing a software? Did maybe the virus caused to block it?
I have also tried to look under Drive DVD/CD-RW /Properties to see if I have enabled or disabled any recording features. It says the device is working properly.
I have checked a C: Drive properties to see if anything is checked disabled - nothing that I could not find .
Honestly, this is a first time that I could not figured out what is wrong. I am not so technical in terms of networks but I use computers a lot and I can set basic features and use many graphic programs.
If anyone can offer me some suggestions I really appreciate. If I can fix that I would have to restore to 3/19/2008 because the CD/ROM was installing then and maybe call Wireless Netgear people so they can walk me through again and pay them the fee.
Thanks.

Can anyone help me? I recently bought a secondhand PowerBook G4 but there was no installation discs, where can I obtain a set as I am unable to install any software. Many thanks.

I recently bought a secondhand PowerBook G4 but there were no installation discs with it and at present I am unable to install any software, where is it possible to obtain a set of the discs so that I can reinstall the software to try and resolve this problem.
Many thanks.

You may also want to try eBay. Finding disks for a machine that old will be difficult though.
Best of luck.

Unable to install ANY software- help!

I'm not sure when this started, but I am not able to install ANY software anymore. My system met the requirements for any software I've tried to install recently- any ideas why it's not working?
I go through the installing sequence... choose the drive, enter my password, accept the terms etc etc (maybe it's not in that order) and the progress bar reaches the end and I receive a message along the lines of "an error occured during installation please try again"

Try this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Oh, and it would help if you could be specific about what software you cannot install.

Can we install any softwares in i pad like auto cadd, catia

You can only install apps/programs that are available in the iTunes App Store on your computer, or the App Store app on the iPad. 'Normal' PC or Mac (OS X) software cannot be installed on the iPad (iOS) as they are not compatible. So if they have app versions in the store you can install them (but the iPad is probably not powerful enough for sophisticated CAD), otherwise there are some apps that allow you to remotely connect to a PC or Mac
