Problem installing third party software

I have encountered an issue whereby on trying to install downloaded upgrades to third party software I am asked to insert a disk entitled with my user name. At first I put this down to dodgy software, but have now had the same issue with installing Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.0. The installation software appears to be something called iNosso.
Essentially the installation gets as far as stating "This software was successfully installed" but before coming up with the summary window comes up with:
*Please insert the "username" disc to*
*continue installation.*
You have chosen to install software that requires this
disc.
(username isn't actually shown what is shows is presumably the local name I have given to the computer).
No such disc exists and have tried the original installation discs for 10.5 but to no avail. I end up force quitting the installer but am concerned that by doing so I may corrrupt the installation and build up problems for myself going forward.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so is there a fix?
Thanks in advance.

Allan, I had hoped not to have to go through the steps you suggest as one of the reasons for doing Migration Assistant was to avoid re-installing all my applications and all the relevant license information. Also note that my old apps are running fine it is just third party installers that appear to be the issue. As a test I ran the Apple installer loading some additional apps that came with the computer with no issues. I would also add that all my applications old and new appear to be running without issue. Indeed even those apps affected by this installation issue (incl Acrobat Reader 9.0) seem to run normally so it does appear to be an annoying glitch in the installation that simply stops the automatic completion of the process.
My nervousness however is that something more sinister is going on in the background that I am not aware of that may affect the performance of the computer going forward.
However from both yours and Barry's comments it would appear that this is not a common fault therefore is likely to be peculiar to the way I have set things up so in order to resolve I will have to try either re-installation of everything per Barry or a re-installation of apps as you suggest. Now I just need someone to find me the time!!
If anyone else has come across this issue before and found an easier resolution I would be eternally grateful. Thank you Allan and Barry for the speed of your responses and your suggestions.

  • Problems installing third party software on Mountain Lion.

    I received message "Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers."  Where is this security setting so I can change it to be able to install third party software? "
    Thank you in advance.

    Open the Security & Privacy preferences. Click on the General tab. At the bottom you will find your Gatekeeper settings. Click on the lock icon and authenticate so you can change the selection. If software does not have a developer's signature in it then the software will not be installed until you change the selection to "Anywhere."

  • When installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall?

    when installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall?  Is it necessary on a Mac to do so?  I come from the Windows world and am still in the learning curve on the Mac.

    Correct.  I have not installed ANY other software for anti-virus, etc.  I want to install a Synch app for my HTC phone to sych with MS Outlook 2011 installed on my Mac.    HTC will not synch with it otherwise.  That was really the basis for my question....if installing a non Apple app can be done without messing with factory settings on the Mac.  In Windows I remember that I needed to disable Norton and the Firewall in order for installation to occur. 
    Thanks.

  • Installing Third Party Software

    I could not install BC Dictionary, on my new Tungsten E2. I am using Vista. I then loaded the prc/pdb files on a SD card (my computer shows the files on the card), but when I look for the files on my E2 card, they don't show. I then loaded the Palm software on my wife's XP computer and went through the Quick Install process. It appeared to work, but I can't find the BC Dictionary program on my E2. BC refers me to Palm.
    I am also having similar problems with Documents to Go and I can't sync with my Yahoo Calendar. All of these programs worked on my old Sony Clie.

    Remember the largest SD card the E2 can use out of the box is one (1) GB. If you want to use a larger card you will have to purchase an application from palmpowerups (not affiliated with Palm).

  • Good Tutorial On Installing Third-Party Software For Mac OS X?

    Hey Everyone,
    I have a friend who recently switched over from Windows to a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.4.x.
    Recently he asked me to explain to him how installing software on Mac OS X works. He was always used to the typical Windows setup.exe installation methods that dropped everything you needed in the Start Menu.
    After explaining to him the usage of DMG files, PKG files, Installer.app, and drag-and-drop installs, he felt pretty comfortable with the process.
    However, I'm wondering if anyone out there knows a good beginners tutorial for how software installation on Mac OS X works. I checked the Mac 101 site, didn't see much. Searching Apple's knowledge base didn't give me any helpful "general" documents.
    If anyone has useful links they can point me to so I can direct my friend (and anyone else that might ask me this type of question) to some reading material, that could prove very helpful.
    Thanks!

    I don't think there is such a document because installing software on a Mac is pretty simple and self-explanatory. You've explained as much as there is needed to know.
    Your friend could visit The XLab FAQs where he will find numerous FAQs on using and troubleshooting the Mac.
    There are plenty of books available that can be ordered through Amazon.com.

  • Problems with third party software unable to maint...

    Hi,
    I have a problem with a software application that needs to be connected to a server on the web all the time. I get disconnects logged in its log file. It's worst in the evening up until about 11pm and then it improves markedly but during the weekdays its connectivity degrades again until the evening.
    I have tried many things including taking my PC and connecting up to O2 broadband where these disconnects didn't happen at all. I think that BT is throttling my connection and causing packet loss that this software can't deal with.
    I was looking at my BT account on bt.com and I discovered there is a usage meter. Up until now, I thought I had a flatrate deal however the usage meter tells me I've only got 10Gb for December and I've used half of it and it's only the 10th today.
    I read in the Help section that if I exceed my limit I will get charged and BT will start restricting my connection. This is what I think is happening.
    However the Help section also said I would be informed by email but I haven't received any emails regarding my usage. I have a suspicion that they may be being sent to a BT email address which I was allocated, but I set this account up 6 years ago and I now have no record of what the BT email would be.
    How can I find out what my email address is and whether there are a pile of emails waiting for me to read? Am I likely to be right about the software connectivity problem and BT throttling my connection?
    Thanks for any help!
    Regards
    Adam Hardy

    Hi Guys,
    thanks for your quick responses.
    I don't have a record of an email from BT for 2004 when I set up my telephone & broadband. I do have an email saying that my BT.com login name is "[email protected]" (obviously not really) but nothing else.
    In my files I have a letter saying the same thing with an account number, but no btinternet.com address.
    I logged into MyBT and under the Broadband "Manage your services" there's a username which I am not familiar with and my telephone number.
    I tried setting up an email account in Thunderbird to download any emails from mail.btinternet.com using that username but it asks me for a password which I leave blank and then it says "Error logging in. Please visit mail.yahoo.com". I also tried it with [email protected]
    I just visited mail.yahoo.com which redirected me to https://register.btinternet.com/cgi-bin/respasswd1 but that form asks me for postcode, DOB and mother's maiden name and then tells me the info is wrong (which it's not - I even tried my old postcodes).
    What is strange is that the username given "jsmith123" is not the username I use to log in here - see to the right  - I think that must have been adopted by BT at some point later.
    Any other advice?
    Thanks!

  • Installing third party software at the same time over network.

    Hi I know i can copy the installer onto the local drives and manually click on the installers and type in the password etc.
    However this is extremely laborious and very time consuming.
    Not being an expert in terminal are there any commands I could use to run the installer, and fill out the administrator password when requested?
    Thanks any help appreciated.

    Repackage the installed files using PackageMaker or LANRev InstallEase and push out your new package using ARD.

  • Flash Player **AUTOMATICALLY** installing third party software

    I just updated to the latest Flash Player and as part of the installation a McAfee security program was installed automatically. If anyone from Adobe is listening, you should fix this immediately. It’s extremely rude.

    Hi, I think the Google Toolbar is an opt out feature as well. If you want to remove that McAfee:
    Under Start menu, go to all Programs
    Open McAfee Security Scan Plus folder
    Select “Uninstall”
    Then Reboot(restart) your computer.
    Other websites offer different programs as well, from what I've seen. Not always easy to UNcheck the offers, I know.
    I think it would be helpful if it was an opt IN. I've seen that some users don't use any Security at all and that would be something they may want.
    Thanks,

  • Problem Installing third party SDK

    Hi!
    I want to install and use iText SDK for creating pdf files. I'm using Sun ONE Studio 5 and I just can+t get it working. It says that cannot find import libraries. What to do??

    Mount the IText libs and/or jars in the Explorer; S1S creates its own classpath from mounted directories and jars, ignoring any classpath that you set outside of S1S - as I believe all IDE's do.

  • Logic Express 8 not seeing third-party software instruments

    I have tried to install some Puremagnetik EXS instruments files for Logic, following manufacturer's instructions to place an alias of the file containing them in the folder Macintosh HD-->Library-->Application Support-->Logic-->Sampler Library. Have tried this both with an alias and with the actual file. Actual file resides on the home drive not an external drive. Have rescanned the library in Logic and they are not showing up either in the library or in the channel strip drop-down menu.
    Have others had this problem with "third-party" software instruments that do not come as package files? The only non-built-in software instruments that I have ever successfully installed in an Apple product were either from the Jam Packs or came as a "package" where you double-click the "box" icon and the product installs.

    Even though both the Puremagnetik instructions and an e-mail from the support address there specifically said to place the files in the top level directory, guess what? Based on this suggestion I placed an alias in the user level directory and it worked. Logic is now seeing the soft synths. Thank you!

  • Third party software ipod back to pc! HELP

    i lost all my music on my computer and installed third party software to copy music from ipod to put back into my liberay, but program copied music from i pod but didnt transfer it into liberay, is there a way? and not one by one? and also the music i do manage to transfer is there a way i can put music in liberary back into correct track listing order?

    If your music was transferred back to your desktop or music folder then either drag the folder to the iTunes source list to add it back or go to File> Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library : About the Add to Library, Import and Convert functions
    Once the files are back in iTunes you can order the library. I've found that this method works for me when things are out of order. Right click at the top of any column in your iTunes library and choose **Track Number** from the list. Click at the top of this new column to sort it and after that click on the Album column. If you like you can then click on Artist which is how I prefer mine ordered, it will continue to hold the track order as well. Afterwards anything you import should follow this arrangement Artist>Album>Track Number within Album (you can hide the track number column when you've done if you don't want it cluttering up the view)

  • Question about to recover data from windows essential 2012 (with raid0 or 1)with third party software !

    Hi johan,
    Based on your description, I understand that you want to know how install a third-party software on an external
    harddisk or usb and then run this software from there. Regarding this issue, I suggest that you should contact with the third-party software support and confirm it. Since most programs use windows registry entries, and may rely on some .dll files. If all relevant
    auxiliary files and configurations of this software were installed in one directory tree, you may be able to install and run it on an external harddisk or usb.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu
