Snlow Loepard - Cant Install (Yellow Exclamation) - Solution Found
Hello to all:
Like many other people are having problems installing Snow Leopard because it says something like "Cant install because this is a startup disk...blah..blah... and a yellow exclamation mark appears on your Hard Disk or Partition.
In my case I have a 320Gb HD with 3 Partitions. Partition 1 is my 200Gb Mac-OS bootable partition, my partition 2 is a backup I created of my Partition One in case it fails sometime in the future (40Gb Only), and my Partition 3 was a Windows OS Partition. BTW, my partition 1 had 120Gb Free Space and anyway wasn't unable to install Snow Leopard.
I tried Drive Genius 2, I tried Disk Utility (Repair Permissions, Repair Disk), and nothing Works.
What I did was I use Disk Utility running normally on your booted Mac-OS (Not a bootable DVD), and I repartition my Partition 1 from 200Gb to 180Gb. The process took like 5 minutes. You will not lose nothing it just repartition your HD. After that I ran Snow Leopard from the DVD and fixed the problem.
Now my Partition 1 doesn't has the yellow exclamation and was able to install Snow Leopard. After that you can again use Disk Utility and resize your partition back to your original size without any problems. Please let me know anyone who tried it and works successfully on your systems.
DaddyPayCheck, I agree totally. There are good reasons to use disk partitions, such as Boot camp, but using a separate partition to back up another partition on the same disk is a bad move, especially since disk drives are so cheap.

Kinur,
Yes, it's a good idea to purchase first, upgrade later.
As far as I know, there is no other way.
We can't upgrade iWork '08 into iWork '09 and, applying an updater require the availability of an existing set of applications of the same generation.

cant install Itunes on my work computer, get error message: "Apple Application support not found, so i uninstall and reinstall again and its the same message
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

T61 - No sound - Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus with yellow exclamation mark
Hi,
I am not sure when it started but suddenly my T61 has no audio/sound. I checked the Device Manager and did see the Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus with yellow (big) question mark with yellow exclamation mark superimposed on it. I downloaded, from Lenovo Support site, the 7ka114ww.exe , hoping to fix it by un-install that device, reboot it, and re-install using the download exe file, but to no avail.
Any suggestion or help is really appreciated. Many thanks in advance
PS. I also see the Base System Device pop up after a reboot and ask to be installed ?!? That pop-up had been there for a while before the audio/sound was lost.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi Maliha,
I followed your instruction to execute the exe file under C:\Drivers. After that, I rebooted the system and no more error pop up for the missing audio device. I checked the Device Manager and the Audio Device on High Definition Audion Bus disappeared and the SoundMax was shown. But again, still no sound. I clicked on TroubleShooting on that SoundMax and followed that instruction. I found out the default Sound device was erroneously pointed to BlueTooth. I made the change to SoundMax and voila ... the sweet ding sound came back.
That was a wonderful feeling to be able to fix this nagging problem that my company HelpDesk could not help me. All thank to this forum and particular Maliha. Again, my appreciation to the valuable help. -
LAN on SysTray has a Yellow Exclamation Mark
So I read through most of the articles on this forum about this topic with no luck...tried installing latest drivers, registry settings, oh and my favorite reboot (really), but seriously this is an issue dating backing to Vista with no "REAL"
solution..Microsoft get off your butts and fix the issue...even though I have connectivity it says no Internet Access...which is false, because I do. The problem is it affects our internal SharePoint sites...all the computers with out the issue work fine and
all the ones that do fail...so I am looking for a solution to eliminating the random exclamation mark once and for all...we use the same image on thousands of machine and the issue is random...any thoughts or want to share in the frustration??
ChrisHi,
More information about Yellow Exclamation Mark can be found in this link below:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/networking/archive/2012/12/20/the-network-connection-status-icon.aspx
And the second link explains how system determines the network locaion, if the network profile is incorrectly identified to a public profile, then it might cause problems to access the internal sites such as SharePoint sites.
Network Location Awareness (NLA) and how it relates to Windows Firewall Profiles
http://blogs.technet.com/b/networking/archive/2010/09/08/network-location-awareness-nla-and-how-it-relates-to-windows-firewall-profiles.aspx
Meanhwile, if you have multiple network adapters\profiles in the system, then I suggest remove unused one if possible, test this issue again.
Temporarily turn off firewall and anti-vius software, test this issue.

The Driver "Intel(R) HM76 Express Chipset LPC Controller - 1E59" has a yellow exclamation in Divice Manager. How do I remove it? I just completed clean install of Windows 8 and this driver seems to be for windows 7.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello Filipe.
Did you perform the clean installation of the Windows 8 Operating System in your computer? If yes, perform a complete system recovery using the recovery discs to restore your computer to the factory setting in order to troubleshoot the issue.
Follow all the steps mentioned here to perform the system recovery using the recovery discs: http://esupport.sony.com/docs/pc/SVE14A2_series/EN/contents/04/18/14/14.html#l1_recovering from reco...
Note: It is required to take backup of all the data before performing the system recovery, as it erases everything from the computer.

My sound card works fine except under "Other"? I had an item listed as "PCI Input Device". This changed when I re-installed my creative software for my soundblaster 5. card. The PCI Input Device went away but I ended up with a duplicate listing of "Creative SB Li've! Series (WDM)" underneath "Sound, Video and game controllers". The second/new listing has a yellow exclamation point beside it and it says that the device is not working. Install/Update of device drivers fails. Is there supposed to be two listings and I am missing soem drivers or is one listing entirely bogus? If I delete the dead one I end up with "PCI Input Device" listed under "Other" as not working either. Any ideas to help? I did run Creative diagnostic utility and it found everything working fine. The drivers listed under each device are different like they are supposed to both be there.
Message Edited by actionirr on 2-07-2008 :8 AM% Hi there, I'm also having this problem on my Windows 7 Ultimate. I'm using a desktop with a external Sound Blaster 5. Vx. Before when i'm using Windows Vista Ultimate the driver are all alright.. But after i upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate my driver is no longer working.. Even i use the creative auto update can't detect any new driver for my device.. Please help.. Creative please give a link to download the driver for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

Hello, I have problem with access to App Catalog, when i try to access to App Catalog it's give error "The action could not be completed. Try again later" with yellow exclamation mark. I tried to make partial erase, I made full erase, I made Secure erase, but all these steps not helps.
I renew my firmware with latest webOSDoctor, but still nothing. Then I changed my Palm Profile, I create new one, but still NOT WORKING!
I checked all connections 3G and Wi-Fi, everything is ok, but App Catalog still not working.
So, I contacted with Palm Support, I told about this issue and I send them Quick Log and Log
with Description to [email protected]
Reference number for chat: Chat session ID number 89786521
Do you have any solution?
Best regards

Post relates to: Pre 2 p102una (Unlocked NA)Honestly saying, the problem I had already a week, I tried to solve it on their own, but all my attempts were unsuccessful, I am sure that this problem is not related to what some of my actions, cause I never made any manipulations with phone.
I really appreciate the attention rendered by the support services, I just need that everything works fine.
I am sure that this is some sort of a strange problems, I have long been searching for an answer in the Internet came on similar way problems have other users.
I received today a update notice for App Catalog, I saw that HP Palm updated App Catalog, I updated my App Catalog, check again, but still nothing changed, same problem "The action could not be completed. Try again later" with yellow exclamation mark.
So, I will wait for a few days, will see what's happening.

Cant install any version of itunes on windows vista, does anybody know of a fix?
cant install any version of itunes on windows vista, does anybody know of a fix?
Since you don't say why it won't install, here is what I have found to work on a Vista machine, 32-bit:
Download but do not install iTunes file from Apple site
Stop anti-virus and firewall
Restart computer
Login as Admin
Run iTunes installation
Turn anti-virus and firewall on
Restart and login as regular user
Vista likes to leave a lot of installers running in the background even when they finish and that interfers with the iTunes installer. -
Cant install new software updates
Hi,
It seems I cant install any software updates from apple.When I click the install button,nothing happens.Normally the Admin password screen comes up but its not.
Anyone have any advice?Cutting to the chase, I think the best solution to this problem is to make a really good backup with TimeMachine and then do a clean install os Leopard, and then to update Leopard, and then to use TimeMachine to restore your files.
I tried Archive and Install. At first, I attempted to preserve user preferences. But the installation of Leopard hung. Looking at the logs, it hung after the system had installed, and as it was in the process of trying to restore the user settings. I then tried Archive and Install without preserving user preferences. This appeared to work, but several files were corrupted. Most obviously, files that had recently been edited with Microsoft EXCEL 2008. I then deleted the Archived files and restored all my user files from TimeMachine. Problem solved.
I wonder if the combination of Microsoft Office 2008 and Leopard 10.5 is somehow toxic. -
I cant install softwares on Lion
Hi,
I reinstalled Lion on Macbook pro a week ago. Now I cant install softwares that ask password to install on mac.
For example, 'Adobe update manager' cant update Premium Pro suite. When I click 'Update' button, it asks for password. Even after giving password, it goes back to the update window. Then I tried to install the Premium Pro from DVD. It didnt install either. The same problem happened when I was trying to install Divx.
But when I reinstall some softwares like Google music manager and paint brush, they reinstalled without any problem. These two softwares didnt ask for password.
Another thing is, I cant also unlock the system preference. It kept locked. No use afer typing password.
I repaired 'disk permission'. It didnt fix the problem.
Please suggest me some solutions to fix this problem. Otherwise I have to reinstall the Lion again.
Thanks in advance!

Greetings to all...
I am suffering similar issues. 2011MBP 13" i7.
Installed Lion from app store 5 months ago, since then I have been able to download all software updates but not install any of them. At the cleaning up stage or thereabout I get the same message "unable to install (whatever software). An unexpected error occurred" Hugely frustrating although everything works fine without the installation, apart from my printer which is eagerly awaiting the software update!
I have tried everything I can think of or find online, using a guest login, running safe mode, repairing permissions, emptying various files in prefs etc,nothing works!!! My one hope was to command r and reinstall, my problem is when I attempted this it reset my apple id and so i had to enter a new password, now the app store wont recognise the lion purchase when I try to login to id when attempting to reinstall!!!!!!!!!
Please help if possible, have been a huge mac fan for 20 years, currently have mbp, imac 21, ipad, 2x iphones and 2x ipods,
Still stressed!
Piemaster,
Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, there are several steps in where you can fix this issue. Let's try the following:
Quit the Mac App Store.
Delete Mac App Store Cache - go to ~/Library/Caches/ folder ("~" represents your home folder) and look for the "com.apple.appstore" folder. Take this folder and place it in the trash.
Delete Mac App Store Preferences - go to ~/Library/Preferences/ and look for the "com.apple.storeagent.plist." file. Take this file and place it in the trash.
Relaunch the Mac App Store.
See if that helps.
I would suggest to make a separate thread as your issue is slightly different from the OP's post. Place your thread in the Mac App Store Forum. This practice can be considered as "threadjacking" and some community members consider it unpolite.
Good Luck! If you need any further assistance just reply here with your post link so that other members of the community and I can assist you with your issue.
