Safari can't install this extension because Extensions are disabled. Extensions can be enabled in Safari's Extensions preferences.
i have this problem. Anyone can help me?
Ok...
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left.
Now open the LIbrary folder then the Safari folder then the Extensions folder.
Move the Extensions.plist file from the Extensions folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
See if that helped.

Every time I try and install an extension for Safari I get the error message "Safari can’t install this extension, An error occurred while installing the extension “Pin It Button”." I have all the latest updates, working on OS X Yosemite v 10.10.2 / Safari v 8.0.3. Any suggestions?
Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to search for an item named "Safari Extensions List". If found, delete it. Quit Keychain Access.
Quit and relaunch Safari. -
Safari can't install this extension...
After the last up-dates Safari extensions broke. Now unable to reinstall all extensions.
Have been able to work around this in the past but nothing I did before works now.
"Safari can’t install this extension" An error occurred while installing the extension...
OSX 10.10.3, Safari 8.0.5 (10600.5.17)
Thanks AllBack up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -
I can't install Pixel Bender because the Extensions Manager won't open.
HI1 I can't install Pixel vender because the Extensions manger won't open. I get the message that it has "unexpectedly quit" and then I'm supposed to send a report to Apple. Of course, nothing comes of that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your help.
Best,
EndreDear Endre,
Please back up all files in the folder /Library/InputManagers and remove those files, and then try to launch Extension Manager. It may solve the issue.
You can also to try the following method:
Remove all old Extension Manager preference and application support files.
To delete the application support files for Extension Manager CS5, please navigate to folder '/Users/<current user>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS5', then back up all files in the folder, and then delete all files and sub directories in the folder.
To delete the preference file for Extension Manager CS5, please navigate to folder '/Users/<current user>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Extension Manager CS5', then back up all files in the folder, and then delete all files and sub directories in the folder.
If neither above way works, please use the below method to gather crash log and I will check those crash log. Thanks.
As you mentioned, when Extension Manager crashes, there would be a dialog to ask for sending report to Apple. In that dialog, you can view the crash log by clicking report button. Then you can copy the crash log and paste it into the forum.
Best wishes,

Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. this is the message that i get a few days now that i am trying to install windows through boot camp to my macbook!does anybody knows what i can do????
You keep it on the usb stick for after you boot into Windows. From Windows you install the Windows Support software on the stick. Do you realize that you need to buy and install Windows? The Windows Support software you downloaded is only the Windows drivers for your hardware.
Read the Boot Camp installation instructions and help guides located here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ -
I try to get Windows 7 on my iMac 21.5-inch but on the Bootcamp Assistant I get this message,"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." Please help me and thank you.
I have that problem too. There's many other discussion threads as well. Either Apple doesn't realize they have a problem, or they do and simply don't care. Either way, not good.
There is a workaround that I'm going to try next. Go to this webpage:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
Scroll down to the middle of the webpage. Hit "Expand All". Now, search the webpage for the Apple product name of your computer. It should be something like "MacBook Pro, 17-inch, Early 2008". If you're unsure what you have, open "About This Mac" (upper left corner of your screen, Apple menu), and hit "More Info".
Now that you've found your computer, read across the table, to the version of Windows that you want to install (32-bit or 64-bit). Hopefully you'll find a "4" or "5" there. Click on that number, to go to the download page for the drivers that you need. If you just see an empty box there, then you're out of luck....
Hopefully there will be drivers. Download those, unzip, and then copy to a USB stick that has been formatted for MS-DOS FAT (or FAT32). Use Disk Utility to format your USB stick if necessary. Now, you have the drivers you should have gotten from the Boot Camp Assistant download. You should then be able to go back to Boot Camp Assistant and follow the instructions from there.
Hope it works!

I have an iPad version 4.3 and I had instagram install, like I was having problem I uninstalled it, but now I can't install it again, because my iPad doesn't support the new version, is there a way that I can download instagram for this iPad?
Update your iOS.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later

How to install iOS 6

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.
The statement above is in the pop up error box every time, when I launch Firefox. If I click ok in the box Firefox then opens. How do I fix this initializing/launch problem?Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br /> -

Well that is the message i get. I can still use firefox(version3.6.8)You get that error if an extension is using an old and no longer supported method to install a plugin.
Which plugin are you trying to install?

"You can't restore this backup because it was created by a different model"
I've been using TM from my Mac Mini to Macbook extensively due to my remote locations and due to the fact that i am always on the run and need to have same apps in both computers. Now after having no probs and fully satisfied with my apple products i stumbled into this: "You can't restore this backup because it was created by a different model of mac". Can someone explain me how on earth did this happen after all these times?? Any suggestions? What are my alternatives?
I tried the superduper image but image of my Mac Mini contains different system info from the Macbook componenets i guess, since they use different installation discs. In the end of the day i guess i will have to use the install dvd and then the migration assistant, but why did TM Restore failed me so much?I can only assume you tried restoring an entire system thus causing the error to avoid installing a Mini system on the MacBook or vice-versa. Transferring an application shouldn't bee a problem, but restoring the entire OS would be.
It isn't clear exactly what you need to do, but my assessment is that you should be using a different utility such as one of the following:
Backup Software Recommendations
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

I use a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010 on Mavericks and I've tried using the Boot Camp assistant to download support software for Windows 7. This gives the error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
Further, I tried to separately download Boot Camp 4 and 5. When I do this and try to install from Windows 7, it says that this version of Boot Camp is not for this computer and doesn't install. The result is that I have Windows 7 working and installed, but am unable to use the trackpad to rightclick, brightness settings, etc.
Please help!
ThanksYou need to run Bootcamp Assistant and select only the menu item to download the Windows Support Software. Follow the instructions. The download servers are extremely slow therefore it may take several hours to get the download.

hi there i was trying to install windows via bootcamp and when i was trying to download the support software i had an error of "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." i am using a 15" 2009 macbook pro and the bootcamp version is 5.1.0 (473). can anyone help? thanks in advanced
Instead of downloading the Windows support software from Boot Camp Assistant, download it from the Apple website. Mid 2009 and older MacBooks Pro only support this Windows support software version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630 This version allows you to install a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 version.

How do I successfully install 64 bit WIndows 7 on my iMac?
Thank you!Waited a month and tried again with the same result. What gives? Does Apple no longer support Bootcamp with Windows 7? Do they not read these posts and help out customers? If Apple doesn't care and won't help, can anyone else suggest something? My large company does not like Apple and barely supports those of us who buck the trend and buy Macs. If I have to buy a PC to support their software to work from home this only gives them more "ammunition" to decline to support Macs. Any advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!
