Can't install mpkg files anymore

I'm having a problem installing mpkg files - specifically, the newest ipod update.
I downloaded the newest ipod updater file, clicked on the mpkg file to try and install it, and a message popped up indicating that it could not find the program to install mpkg files, and prompted me to choose an application with which to open it.
I did some hunting and research online and found that the Utilities folder should have an installer for this, which would automatically open and install mpkg files. This is the Utilities folder where all of my ipod updaters have previously been installed. However, said utilities folder is no longer anywhere on my computer and I'm not sure what happened to it, and whether this is even the problem causing me to be unable to install mpkg files at all. I'm wondering if maybe I accidentally deleted the Utilities folder. I started to try to re-install the software that came bundled with my operating system, but when I tried to do that I got the same "no program identified with which to install mpkg files."
Is this inability to install mpkg files really a problem caused by not having my utilities folder anymore? If so, is there any way to re-install the utilities folder without completely re-installing the operating system? If it's not a result of not having a utilities folder, any ideas?
Thanks for any recommendation!

Hi, Sarah -
You would need to use Installer.app to open these files.
- Do a search on your machine to look for Installer.app or Disk Utility or any other application that exists in your Utilities folder to be sure that the folder wasn't simply moved. If it was moved, put it back in your Applications folder.
- If you find that the Utilities folder is completely gone, try downloading an application called Pacifist from charlessoft.com. Follow the instructions that come with Pacifist to learn how to find and install the necessary files that make up the apps in your Utilities folder.
- Here is a picture of the OS X-installed items in my Utilities folder, which may help you figure out which apps need to be installed. You may or may not have or need some of these items, incl. AirPort Client Monitor, AirPort Management Utility, Launch Services Database Rebuild.app, etc.:
- After you have reinstalled the files, download and install the 10.4.3 Combo Updater so that what you have installed using Pacifist will be brought up to the current version.
Good luck!

Install MPKG Files on MAc OSX 10.5.2

Hello,
i want to install a MPKG File (install file from tascam us 122-l) on my System.
But my system says "error". Archive is damaged or i do not have the rights.
Apple support can't help me, so does anybody have an idea?
Thanks KID

Welcome to the discussions
I just downloaded the US-122L & US-144 Mac OS X Drivers from
http://www.tascam.com/details;9,15,69,19.html
which installed with no problem on my system.
Are these drivers what you need?
Try downloading them again, open the disk image and double-click the mpkg (don't copy it to the desktop).
If it fails again, could you please provide the exact error message. Also, a look at the system.log (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app) might give you a clue. Just copy the entries that match the time the install failed and post them here.
Regards,

Cannot install .mpkg files

I have just installed Leopard and the 10.5.2 update and now I want to install the XCode update etc. and all that happens when I double click on any .mpkg files is that Finder launches PackageMaker.app. Anyone know what might be going wrong here? And even better how to fix it?
More fundamentally, what happens when a .mpkg file is double clicked? How is it installed? And what would be the terminal command to do the same?
TIA.
Ronan.

For some unknown (to me) reason, the OS now recognizes the .mpkg properly and when selecting open it launches the installer (this is after 4/5 reboots).
This means that the correct icon is now shown, and when ctrl-clicking on the icon in the contextual menu "Open with" now points to the default 'Installer'. The reason why it did not do before this I don't know. In any case, as suggested a package file can also be installed by selecting "System/Library/CoreServices/Installer", or the installer command via the terminal.
Remember not to confuse the system command 'install' with 'installer' - they are totally different.
So I tried both approaches and the terminal gave the following:
ronBook:Optional Installs ronanoc$ sudo installer -pkg "Optional Installs.mpkg" -target /Developer
Password:
installer: Package name is Optional Installs
installer: Installing at base path /
installer: The install was successful.
However the installer did not actually install the package and terminated very quickly. Perhaps it is because the developer tools for xcode were already installed in the same path and the command did not differentiate, but gave a 'success' command response all the same. I would think this message is incorrect, as in any case the command returned much too quickly.
Now back to the GUI, and it did not install correctly.
"The following install step failed: run postinstall script for CHUD.Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
There is a discussion on this error here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5645479
Upon deleting the /Developer folder and reinstalling, it solves the problem.

Problems installing SCA file in Netweaver 7.1 CE (BaseLoginException)

Hello,
We're trying to install our webapplication on a Netweaver 7.1 CE. We do this for certification purposes.
Steps taken so far:
- Created an .EAR file containing our application
- Created an SDA and then SCA file
- Installed Netweaver 7.1 CE on a 64-bit environment
Now I'm in the phase that I want to deploy the SCA file into the Netweaver environment. I want to do so by using the Java Support Package Manager (JSPM). I log into Windows with the "s01adm" user (that's the Windows user created by Netweaver on installation). This user is member of the "Administrators" group.
I start the JSPM by opening a DOS command promt, go to the folder "C:\usr\sap\S01\J00\j2ee\JSPM" and give the command ".\go.bat".
I get to see the JSPM client and it asks me to "Logon with administrative J2EE user".
My question: what user do I use there? I think I'm entering the right details of the user that I created when I installed Netweaver, but in the logfile I get this reply:
Aug 28, 2008 5:04:17 PM [Error ]:[ Exception ]::Session::checkForTicketException:[ BaseLoginException],cause=Cannot authenticate the user.
Aug 28, 2008 5:04:17 PM [All ]:
[EXCEPTION]
com.sap.engine.services.security.exceptions.BaseLoginException: Cannot authenticate the user.
at com.sap.engine.services.security.login.ModulesProcessAction.run(ModulesProcessAction.java:175)
What am I missing / doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance for any tips!

HI,
You can try giving the user "s01adm" the rights of the J2EE administrator.
This you can give from portal.
1. Go to portal using "http://<hostname>:<port no>/irj/portal
2. Go to user administration tab.
3. In search enter this user name "s01adm" and search.
4. Once it is available you can add the role of J2EE administrator to existing roles.
5. This role will be available from "UME database" option in the dropdown.
Hope it helps you.

Problem installing PQI file

Hi all,
i can't install an application software (en355262.pqi) on my SCE platform via SCA BB Console (sca-bb-console-3.5.5-284.exe).
Installation ends with error:
Error - Internal error, got exception: error while loading without arguments
What did i miss?
Platform: SCE2000 - 4xGBE
Management agent interface version: SCE Agent 3.5.5 Build 121
Software package file: Not available

Hi Alexander,
I'm not sure what happened in detail from the information you provided.
But from my experience, it will may be successful if you remove(uninstall) the SCA-BB console and re-install it again.
After that, please try to apply PQI again.
Thanks,
Keita

Cannot install .pkg and .mpkg files

I have recently tried to install .pkg and .mpkg files but without success. When I double-click on a file, the installer icon appears in dock but I get the following error message: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1.).
The problem persists despite repairing permissions.
I have read several messages about this problem but there seems to be only one solution, and that is to reinstall the OS. I am seriously trying to avoid this unless there is a way to recover all my applications, including Parallels Desktop, Windows 7 and other Win applications.
I would greatly appreciate any advice. Many thanks.

The problem persists despite repairing permissions.
Did you restart your computer after doing the above?
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run _*Repair Disk*_ from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select *Disk Utility.*
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click *First Aid.*
Click _*Repair Disk.*_
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751

Problems installing and starting on Windows 7 64bit. error message - The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

Hi I'm having problems installing and starting itunes program on Windows 7 64bit. After install the following error message is flagged - The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would really appreciate any pointers!

Can't install any .PKG or .MPKG files with Mountain Lion.

Some weeks ago I found out, that I can't install anymore any programmes that are packed in .PKG or .MPKG files.
Whenever I double click one of theese files, or when I try the "open with" option, I get a system response from TextEdit.App . . .
I tried already some of the advices mentioned in the community forum, but nothing worked so far.
Latest thing I tried was to re-associate these two file types with the Installer - but I couldn't find it anywhere.
I've got an iMac27, late 2009, 16GB RAM, equipped with the latest version of Mountain Lion.
Hope, you can help me - there are some updates (MS Office, MyTomTom, Logitech drivers, ...) that need to be installed.
Thanks in advance,
Dirk.

I would go thus;
1. Back up, preferably using bootable and verified clone(s).
2. Boot into recovery and repair permissions/disc.
3. Apply combo updater if step 2 was unsuccessful. (The link I have posted assumes you are running 10.7.3 as per your signature).

I continue to receive "failed to mount" when trying to install .dmg files or updates. Has anyone found an answer to this problem? I am operating on Mac OS X 10.4.11

Mac Mini OS 10.5.8 will not install .pkg or .mpkg files

Reciently my Mac Mini has been prompting me to "choose an application" when I try to install .pkg or .mpkg files. This is preventing me from installing any new software on my computer. I've tried to repair permissions and that didn't help. I also tried to reinstall my OS from the disk that came with my computer. When I attempt to reinstall, my mac restarts and spits the disk out and no changes are apparent. What can I do to fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Those packages are opened with the Installer.app. Perhaps it has become disassociated from these types of files on your Mac. To install, next time it asks you to choose an app, browse to the Installer and choose it. It is in Apps/Utilities.
To permanently fix this issue, right click on a pkg or a mpkg file and select Get Info. In the Get Info window go to the Open with pane and choose the Installer as the correct app to open these files. Then press the Change All... button.

Since SL install, can't open .mpkg files

I just installed Snow Leopard. I'd like to look at the Optional Installs, but when I double-click on the .mpkg file, Finder asks me what application I want to open it with.
So, what application opens .mpkg files?

Try a control-click and select "Open With" -> "Other...". Then navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices and select Installer.

I lost my version of iTunes and attempted to re-install via free download off of Apple.com. Unfortunately, regardless of what version I attempt to install, my Installer will not run .pkg or .mpkg files. It bounces, then disappears without any results.
I do not have the Tiger disk - as my father gave me this computer a few years ago without it (as it was his old computer).
I am absolutely distraught without my iTunes and do not know what to do to rectify the situation with my Installer.
Can anyone help me please???

Try moving:
Home (or your user name) > Library > Preferences > com.apple.installer.plist
to the desktop and restart your computer. This file saves the settings for that service and may be come corrupt. Removing it from the Preferences folder will result in a new file being created with default settings. If this helps you can trash the file but you may need to reset other things covered by that preference. If it doesn't help you can replace the newly created file with the old one and restart to regain the old settings.
If that doesn't work you will probably have to copy Installer from your backup drive. You absolutely must have a backup, especially if you are going to try to survive without the Tiger discs (which are, strictly speaking, a legal requirement if you want to run Tiger).
