Programs wont install in leopard

apple installer keeps freezing, have to force quit it, cant install ANY software!! can anyone help??? is anyone having the same problem???

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.

  • Wont install Snow Leopard

    I just received Snow Leopard in the mail and my 2008 Macbook will not read the disk and ejects it. Anything I can do to fix this?

    .. before you send it back, you might want to check/test that the drive is ok first.

  • Photoshop wont install after purchase

    I recently bought Photoshop cc, but even after multiple attempts the program  wont install. When investigating what went wrong in trouble shooter the errors that came up were:
    Third party payload installer vcredist_64
    and
    Failed to repair Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
    Unfortunately I am still at a loss as what to do to fix these problems. Some instruction would be greatly appreciated.

  • I want to save important files/programs on an external hard drive, delete EVERYTHING on my computer, install snow leopard, and reload everything i saved on to a clean slate. Is this possible/practical?

    I was just thinking that it would be better to wipe the entire hard drive clean and reinstall some programs rather than go through and move certain things to the trash. Basically rebuild my software and file collection from the ground up, omitting what is unnecessary. Then again, I have no idea what i'm doing.
    My macbook was purchased in late 2008. 2gb RAM. OS X 10.5.6.  It's been going very slow lately so i decided i would look up how to improve. Snow leopard was recommended as well as changing my RAM. And so here I am.
    I don't have an external hard drive so i was going to just compress all my files and save them to my emac via ethernet. would they be harmed?
    also, i have alot of projects in ableton (a music recording/writing program). Would saving and transferring them be just as simple as finding the song? or are other components of a certain song saved in other locations?
    sorry this is so lengthy. i should probably stick with something simple but i just want things to run as smoothly as possible for as long as possible
    thanks very much

    Here's some info that may be helpful.
    Installing Snow Leopard: What you need to know
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1142454/install_snow_leopard.html.
    You should get a Firewire connected hard drive and backup your MB's HD to it. That way, if something goes wrong during the installation, you can recover your current sytem, apps and files. After the SL install, you can use the external HD for frequent backups.

  • IPhone 3G(S) wont show up in iTunes after installing Snow Leopard

    I just installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3 yesterday and now when I plug in my iPhone 3G(S) it wont launch iTunes and wont show up in iTunes when I open it.
    It launches and shows up in iPhoto with no problem?
    Any hints on what to do?

    This is now fixed after I installed the update to Snow Leopard 10.6.4

  • TS5376 iTunes wont install.  It says " The program can't start because MediaAccessibility.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."  I have uninstalled iTunes 5 times and reinstalled it, and nothing has worked.

    iTunes wont install.  It says "The program can't start because MediaAccessibility.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."  I have uninstalled iTunes 5 times and reinstalled it, and nothing has worked.  Help!!!!

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    HELP!! Itunes wont install on Windows 7.  I get an error msg. there is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required to install to complete could not be run.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor. WHAT NOW?

    Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat. 
    Okay ... try downloading and saving a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe to your PC from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now download a trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.php
    Open the iTunesSetup.exe with WinRAR, and try to run the standalone install of Apple Application Support from the AppleApplicationSupport.msi you find in there.
    It works now BUT there are still problems.  It is not allowing or recognizing my Cd/DVD player and i CANT burn.  Looking still for this fix.

  • Since installing Snow Leopard and Lion two weeks ago, my iTunes program opens seemingly at will.  It usually starts playing music, too.  What is causing this?

    Since installing Snow Leopard and then Lion on my Intel-based iMac two weeks ago, my iTunes program seems to open at will whenever the computer is on.   It often begins playing music, as well.  What is causing this and how do I make it stop?

    There are ways to minimize, mitigate, and help avoid a lot of problems.
    Bootable backups.
    Zeroing a drive twice before using, and format it with SL DVD Apple Disk Utility for sure.
    Even a clean install should import old apps without having to reauthorize.
    If you must do an upgrade, do it from the SL DVD, after repairing the drive and be sure to use the SL version of Alsoft Disk Warrior (4.2).
    Wait six months before jumping on a new OS.
    10% is still too many. Yes, it is more sensitive to RAM and hard drive errors, doesn't like some controllers; most ext hdd cases; and enough software to make for test-only status. And it only IDs some known incompatible applications, drivers, extensions, etc and does not remove even those always in best manner.
    Plus, there are problems with the new Rosetta and the cache files it now uses. So some apps and plug-ins will cause more trouble. Not all are ready. Good reason to hold off for the months it takes.
    Other devices act different as far as on/off behavior.
    (Migrating from G5s to Mac Pro can cause all kinds of problems, weird behavior, sluggish system, and why anyone that went down that road was strongly recommended to NOT use Migration Assistant for any of their applications, and to ONLY do clean/fresh installs of any apps. If you skipped that day, didn't read the Guide to M.A., or didn't want to do fresh installs then, your system could have been on borrowed time. If you did do clean install of applications, great.
    Installing SL can result in a corrupt directory - I think and it "seems" to be happening, but no real proof, just gut feeling and instinct (underlying file system problem? weak sectors that pre-existed waiting to happen?).
    Remember all the "there just aren't a lot of 64-bit drivers" for Vista and XP? it's come home to roost.
    ... my guess is not enough incense and offerings. To hop into TimeMachine and SuperDuper backup images and pull the 1TB for another day (week, month, year).

  • HT1925 i am russian remuved itunes at all i wont instal folder C:/Program files/itunes what i must do

    i am russian remuved itunes at all i wont instal folder C:/Program files/itunes what i must do

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message!

    I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message and the computer wont restart!

    What is a error message and what do you see when it appears?
    Haven't much problem with Airs around here, since they have a SSD they tend to be more reliable.
    Perhaps it was a bad update, have you ran through this list of possible fixes?
    Do as many as possible, starting with #1. Until the problem is resolved.
    Use the boot 10.6 USB instead of the disk of course.

  • My Power Mac G5 Wont Install OS X 10.5 Leopard

    Hey Guys,
    I have a Power Mac G5 that wont install leopard. When I put in the Leopard disk, it boots the install, then says OS X 10.5 can not be installed on this machine.
    I tried Leopard assist, but that told me it would not let me use it, becuse Leopard should be able to install on this machine.
    Any ideas
    Thanks
