Programs won't install after Leopard Upgrade

I did an upgrade install of Leopard from Panther. It went very smoothly with no problems. However, when I tried to install my new copy of iLife '08, the installer hung on "starting installation" progress bar after I clicked the Install button. I never got to the "Installing" part of the process. I had to Force Quit it after a while.
I tried installing several other non-iLife application packages and they hang at the same place. It seems like the Apple Installer has been corrupted, but I have no idea how to begin fixing it. Can anyone help?

I've been having problems running installer packages since putting Leopard on my G5. I'll click thru the installer windows to the point where the Install button shows up. When I click that, all I get is a spinning beachball. No error message, tho-- it just hangs, so I have to Force Quit it. This has happened with Flip4Mac and Logitech Control Center, and maybe others I'm forgetting. Not to every app I've tried to install. But it HAS happened with the X.5.1 Update! And I'm having a devil of a time getting any relevant info about the problem.

  • Powerbook won't boot after Leopard upgrade.

    I'll get the apple logo and spinning gear, then blue (kernal panic) screen, and that's as far as it will go.
    I thought I recalled a problem with the Unsanity application enhancers, so I started the PB up in target disk mode and removed the one .ape...that didn't help...now I need help.
    I've searched around here but cannot locate a similar discussion.
    thanks

    Hi Limnos...My profile says 10.4.11 since I have not gotten 10.5 to install yet. Never before had 10.5 on this PB. I was attempting to upgrade to Leopard from the retail install disc, but after the process concluded normally, the restart hung with a blue screen kernal panic.
    I attempted safe boot and it would not do that either. I attempted to restart off the install DVD again, and it would not do that either. It would only boot into target disk mode. I have not tried anything else today, yet. Waiting for some advise from here, before I spin my wheels any more.

  • Office 2004 won't install after Leopard install

    Hi there,
    So first of all, I've always had a problem with the Office 2004 CDs even running in my CD-ROM. Other CDs work fine, but not Office 2004 (and I've tried multiple copies). Even to install on Tiger, I had to sit there and just keep reinserting the CD when it wouldn't read and wait till the magical one time when it did and I could proceed with the install (my theory is that this particular line of CDs must achieve a specific temperature within my CDROM by spinning countless times before they'll be read )
    I'm experiencing the same problem with Leopard. However, it's taking much longer for the CDROM to recognize the CD (only once so far in probably 60 tries). The big problem is that when it actually read the CD and loaded up the install file disk onto my desktop and I opened it the Office Setup Assistant was greyed out. When I clicked to activate it, I got an error message that read:
    "You can't open the application 'Office Setup Assistant" because the Classic environment is no longer supported."
    I have no idea what this means really. I tried looking some stuff up online about it and from what I can gather this is an issue with trying to run OS 9 apps on an OS X machine (could be wrong on that too). I've only ever had an OS X machine, so I'm not sure why I'm getting this message -- any ideas on why and how to resolve it?

    I can clarify your error message for you. The Classic environment was essentially an OS9 emulator, in case you had to use an application that hadn't been upgraded for OSX. But the Apple OS no longer provides that support for OS9, so an OS9 app such as this Setup Assistant can't run at all under Leopard. But the Assistant isn't necessary-- it just saves you the trouble of going thru each Office app's Preferences and customizing your settings.
    As for your CD problems, it sounds like Microsoft laid some crappy discs on you. Maybe you could exchange them?

  • Mac won't shutdown after Leopard upgrade; Kernel trap report

    After upgrading to Leopard last week, my iMac has repeatedly failed to shut down properly. When I select shutdown, the system seems to be turning off as usual, closing all programmes and the screen switching off to black, but one fan is still left running. The fan keeps running indefinitely (I've left it overnight many times and it's still been running in the morning) and the only way I can shut it off is by manually holding down the power switch for 5 seconds.
    When I do that, and then turn the computer back on, I'm given a report mentioning a "kernel trap" etc, which I can't really decypher. If anybody could help me, I would really, really appreciate it.

    HI,
    I think it's a kernel panic you are experiencing. Possibly when you upgraded to Leopard, a 3rd party software/hardware isn't compatible.
    Go here to Resolve Kernel Panics
    *"my iMac has repeatedly failed to shut down properly"*
    Try resetting the SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
    The System Management Controller (SMC) is a chip on the logic board that controls all power functions for your computer. If your computer is experiencing any power issue, resetting the SMC may resolve it. The SMC controls several functions, including:
    Telling the computer when to turn on, turn off, sleep, wake, idle, and so forth.
    Handling system resets from various commands.

  • Logic won't run after leopard upgrade

    I recently upgraded to OS X Leopard and ever since I upgraded, Logic has been giving me this error:
    Logic Express has detected a possible conflict
    between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers.
    I use the tascam us-224 I/O, and before the upgrade, it worked great.
    any help on how to get logic to work again would be very appreciative.

    Looks like you're tripping over driver issues. You'll need to go to the websites of all the hardware and inserts that are part of your system and get Leopard compatible drivers. I know, I know. They ought to work but they don't. There appears to either be poor backward compatibility or the third parties are crap at coding.
    Others have reported that more recent products than the 224 are not working (despite the Tascam website saying they do). The 224 is now officially a Legacy product. You may be out of luck but, at the least, you need to check what Tascam support says.
    Best of luck - their "customer support" is the stuff of legends...

  • Adobe Programs won't install....

    Hi,
    i have a nasty problem... all of my adobe programs won't install... (the .dmg's)
    When i wan't to install after effects for example, mac says:
    "System Requirements Error
    This software cannot be installed because the file
    system of the OS volume is not supported."
    (this is translated from dutch, it maybe isn't exactly the same, as it would say in the english version of leopard..)
    i already tried to use the disk help program, but it won't work...
    what should i do???

    Ah, okay. I was wondering if it was that, or a downloaded copy from a college server. Lot's of colleges do that these days for student priced versions.
    Anyway, the problem seems to be that you have formatted the hard drive as case sensitive. If you did do that, you'll have to erase the drive with Disk Utility and reinstall everything from scratch. I don't think you can change it without erasing the drive.

  • Mac mini won't boot after RAM upgrade.

    Tried installing new RAM in my Mac Mini, 512MB stock to 2GB of Crucial. Followed the directions to a T, grounded myself the whole time.
    Things I've tried so far:
    1. Resetting the PRAM, no luck.
    2. Holding option at start-up, shows no icon.
    3. Holding shift, no luck.
    4. Holding X, nothing.
    How do I get it to accept a CD if it won't boot?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You clearly have a problem, but you don't describe exactly what that is other than that your mini won't boot after the upgrade. What happens when it starts up? Does it attempt to start and hang up on the grey or blue screens, or does it start beeping at you almost immediately after you try and start it up, and also flash the power light?
    If the former, then you may have dislodged a connector while working inside the system, in which case opening it up and checking that everything is firmly connected would be the first thing to do. If the latter, then the beeping/light flashing is the system telling you it has failed the power-on self test and the pattern of beeps/lights indicates why. In your case likely the system can't find workable memory. In that instance, opening the system and ensuring that the RAM is firmly and fully seated would be a good step, and if the mini continues to fail, then replacing the new RAM with the original to test that the system will then start.
    It is not likely that anything had damaged your MacOS install in the process of upgrading, thus normally no reason to need to boot to CD as a result of a RAM issue.

  • IMessages won't open after Mavericks upgrade

    iMessages won't open after I upgraded to Mavericks. I keep getting prompted to "enter the keychain password," but I never created a keychain. I never used it before the upgrade, and I skipped the step during the upgrade because I did not want to use keychain and it was an option to skip it during set up.

    HI,
    The OS X Mac have been using Keychains for a long time.
    In the Applications/Utilities folder open Keychain Access.
    This should show you at least two keychains.
    The Login one for your Mac User account and the System one.
    Generally speaking the Keychain keeps the passwords used by various apps and it needs to be Open.
    In most cases the Login password for the Mac Account user is also the password that opens the Keychian when the computer is started up.
    As each Mac User Account owns it's own Keychain there can be issues when you drag an account from one computer to another rather than using Migration Assistant.
    i.e. you might Own it on one computer but not on another.
    In the Finder > Go Menu hold down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
    In the library navigate to Keychains.
    Click to highlight the Login one.
    Now use the CMD and i keys together (Get Info)
    At the Bottom unlock the padlock
    Highlight the name that has (me) next to it (it should be your Shortname).
    Once you have highlighted this use the cogwheel item at the bottom.
    This should be greyed out but saying "Make you (Me) the Owner."
    You should also have Read and Write permissions like in the Pic.

  • TS2986 I installed Snow Leopard, upgraded it to OS X 10.6.8, paid for and spent the hours necessary to download Lion, but Lion will not install.  Even though it says the requirements are 10.6.6 or greater, when I try to install, it says I need 10.7.

    I installed Snow Leopard, upgraded it to OS X 10.6.8, paid for and spent the hours necessary to download Lion, but Lion will not install.  Even though it says the requirements are 10.6.6 or greater, when I try to install, I get a message saying I need 10.7. to install Lion.  What should I do?

    Hi..
    Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available spare
    From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
    If your Mac meets the requirements, installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo reinstalls the App Store for you which may help.
    Restart your Mac after instaling the combo installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.
    If you have anti virus software installed, you may need to disable that in order to install Lion.

  • ITunes won't install after I click license agreement page

    iTunes won't install after I click license agreement page

    I had the same problem as many are having, I am running Win XP Pro and after installing the latest greatest version fresh no go, tried all the fixes mentiond around the net and no go all you get is the dam agree screen ... so I had enogh, I completly uninstalled the new version and then installed version 10 and it works fine so I think they droped the ball in the programing of the latest release thats my 2 cents. I am so glad i always keep older versions on hand because many times new versions are buggy or just do not work NOTE TO APPLE DO NOT FIX IT IF IT AINT BROKE comes to mind ... the older just work and the new junk fails don't they test the programs anymore? accross the dif supported platforms? whlth all these peole having the same problems I would say they botched the program code or installer.
    It says after the install there is a newer version great after waisting all this time I will not be updating till they claime and prove they have a big prob and fix it and then test it compleatly.
    Important my problem started on first installing Itunes ona newely set up XP comp so I had no settings or anything and did not care a full uninstall worked for me. Not sure with those that have tons of stuff allready in the iTunes system,
    Complete working version 10.0.0.68 works fine in win XP Pro ...

  • After Leopard Upgrade, HDTV No Longer Displays Full Screen Apple TV??

    Fairly recent Apple convert. iMac is directly connected to HDTV (Mini-DVI to HDMI) and A/V Receiver(Toslink). After Leopard upgrade, I now have a black border, on HDTV, no matter what resolution I choose (worked automatically and perfectly on Tiger). In System Preferences-Display, I am mirroring the displays and have Overscan turned off, because without it, the Menu Bar does not display at all. I am wondering if Apple is trying to force me to buy an Apple TV or if maybe I just need to be patient until the correct drivers come out? Apple told me they were referring my problem to the Engineering Department, but I am not holding my breath. Primary need is to view Photos and eventually rent movies, when HD is readily available. Any opinions, predictions or suggestions on resolving would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    same issue here. Don't use it very often so could not remember if it was fine previously thought it was. Hope we get help soon.

  • Flash won't install after downloading...early 2013 MBP/Retina, 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram, 3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor (clean installation)

    Flash Player won’t install after downloading
    On the first attempt to install v14, Flash Player v13 was installed and working fine.
    I opened the installation package for the new Flash Player, followed standard protocol for installing Mac software and it hung before retrieving anything.
    Subsequently, while watching the beach ball spin, I got an error message that the installer could not retrieve the v13 Flash Player software.
    So I uninstalled Flash Player 13 and again attempted to install v14, only to see the spinning beach ball followed by a message that the installer could not retrieve the v14 Flash Player software.
    I am running OS X v10.9.4 on an early 2013 MBP/Retina display with 3GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram.

    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

    Do i need to deactivate my CS5 programs before i install the CS6 upgrade?

    that is correct.
    all older versions of adobe products (except some versions of adobe acrobat) can not only be installed on the same computer but can be open and used at the same time.  eg, i routinely have flash pro cc and flash pro cs6 open at that same time.
