Software installer extracts and stops

Hi - I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.6.8. I am trying the install software for a new camera (Canon Powershot). The Installer extracts files and then nothing happens. Canon says that a window should come up with more instructions.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

Mark ...
The Installer extracts files and then nothing happens.
Since the camera is new, check the Canon website to make sure you have v10.6.8 compatible Canon drivers installed. v10.6 Snow Leopard is an older Mac OS X.

What causes post software installation stall and how can I avoid it?

I never had this problem before with Jaguar, but since I installed Tiger this past December, when I've installed some software updates, my computer has not been restarting normally when I followed the instruction to "restart".
It shuts down, there's the pause, then the chime sounds. The screen lights up and the spinning beach ball appears. So far, so good. That, however, is as far as the process gets. The beach ball just spins and spins and spins. I was patient, but waited to no end. Finally, I disconnected the power cord and let the battery run down.
Finally the screen went dark. I let the computer stay like that overnight. The next day, I reconnected the power cord, the chime sounded and the
computer started up successfully and worked normally. And the software was installed. This has happened three times, every time with a software update.
I have repaired the permissions and done other disk first aid from my install disk CD. And I've run the Tech Tool utility.
I don't know if any of that will address the problem. So I hope some one can give
me some idea what the problem is and what will permanently eliminate it, before I venture into any future software updates.
Thanks

It is normal for a restart after an update or software installation to take much longer than normal, and generally it should be left to do its thing - but not overnight!
There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 uses Safari 3.0.4 which is not a beta. If Safari 3.0.4 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 2 when running 10.4.11 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.0.4 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.

Why won't it download? It goes to run, then run, then run again, then extracts and stops downloading. Why won't it work??????

Firefox won't download at all. It says extracting then stops. I click save then run then run. Then it says extracting then after that it just stops downloading. WHY?!?!?! Annoying.

Do you get an error? Disable any antivirus or firewall software running on your computer during the update process if you're unpading using iTunes.
If you're trying to update over the air, try doing it with your computer instead.

GPO Software Installations always require configuring on first run.

Whenever I push out an MSI through a GPO, the first time a user runs the software after logging in requires Windows 7 to configure the product before it will load up. With the exception of VMWare 10, this only happens once per usage of the software
per login and is avoided if the shortcuts created with the install aren't used. If I navigate to the software installation folder and manually run an executable, there is no please wait while windows configures .... For some lesser applications,
removing the shortcuts from the msi and creating manual shortcuts through GPO, I was able to work around the problem, but it's becoming too much of a hassle to keep doing.
So, my question is, how do I stop Windows from configuring applications on first run that are installed through GPO?
Thanks

Printer Software Installer has stopped working

Product: HP Laser Jet M1005 MFP
OS: Windows 7, 64-bit
Notebook ACER , Aspire 5349, Intel Celeron CPU B800 @ 1.50 GHz
(new notebook, old printer - printer worked well on Windows XP)
I downloaded driver ljM1005-HB-pnp-x64-en. Driver had been extracted and setup started.
Installation started and after some initialization (~10 sec) it kept writing:
Preinstalling the driver files... or Copying files to hard drive... (switching approx. once per second) after a while (~ 20 sec)
Printer Software Installer has stopped working. Windows tried to find solution but did not find anything.
I TRIED ALREADY EVERYTHING. I used patch for AMD processors (of course, did not work); I have Windows installer up to date; I disabled Internet Explorer 9.0 (I cannot uninstall and iether can I step back to IE 8.0 since notebook is brand new); There is no windows driver preinstalled for this printer and there is no similar driver working.
Driver cannot be installed and printer does not work.
Please, help.

Installation of Flash stops after 30% complete, plugins and java are enabled in the browser and all browsers are closed.

installation of Flash stops after 30% complete, plugins and java are enabled in the browser and all browsers are closed.

Hi,
I'm assuming you're machine is OS X (please include this in the future, avoids assumptions). Are you using anti-virus software, if so, if you stop/exit the anti-virus software, does the installation proceed?
If not, or if the installation still does not proceed after stopping the anti-virus software, please try the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Macpage, in the 'Still having problems' section.

Java - difference between "critical" and "software installer

I would like to push out the latest java updates to out workstations via ZCM patch management, however I am confused be the difference between the update packages available. The machines are windows 7 with ZCM v11.2.0 and already have a (slightly older) JRE installed on them. The ZPM java package labeled as impact type "critical" states the following in the notes:
"All web browsers are required to be shut down in order for Java JRE to be updated successfully"
The ZPM package labeled as impact type "software installer" has nearly identical installation notes, save for no web browser must be not running disclaimer like above.
Since 95% of our user base in the school district is most likely going to be using a web browser at any given time, I would give the success probability of the "critical" option as very low. Is it OK to use the "software installer" impact package? Is it truly not dependent on browsers being closed, or was that an oversight in the notes? What method do any of you use for reliable java updates?

I stopped using ZPM for Java and Flash installs. I actually right an AutoIT script that I deploy out to my laptops via bundle. It closes the browsers, uninstalls older versions of Java, and then installs the latest version I provide. What I found on some of our Java (browsers) based apps, specifically the gradebook and attendance programs, the ZPM deployment would install the latest with the older versions as well. This caused masive issues with after three updates those programs stop working.
I still have some deployment issues where a teacher will have java based failures or a failure to install the latest version correctly. But compaired to what was done before I have cut my failures in half if not more.
Nice thing is I can still view the Patch deployment in Patch Management as this deployment method is in process.

How can I create software start and stop trigger in LabView using 6023E series DAQ card? I don't want to use the external trigger.

I am using 6023E DAQ card to collect the signals, such as AE, Force, Torque from the machine. I want to collect only some part of signal for example between start triger and stop trigger. I'd like to know how I can creat those triggers in LabView from one of the channels that I am acquiring at the same time. I found one or two library file that is only for start trigger. I know that this is availabe in some of DIAdem functions. Please let me know if you have done some example for this requirement.

If you are wanting to create a software trigger based on an analog input voltage in LabVIEW, there are several options. One suggestion would be to compare the voltage values from one input channel to a number within a loop. If the input voltage crosses that threshold (is greater than the number), have a case statement that will acquire data from the other channels. This would simulate a software start trigger in LabVIEW.

HI,
If your old version of iTunes is still working - then I sugest you stick with that.
iTunes 11 is a lousy update - It will not retain your playlists, you can't find and delete duplicates... and a whole arry of oyher issues. (have a look around this forum to see how many issues IT11 gives people)
Just a friendly advise and warning :-)

Lift and Extract have stopped working in Premiere Pro CS6.0.1

Lift and extract have stopped working in a sequence in Premiere Pro 6.0.1. If a create a new sequence it works ok. It seems the sequence has got locked up it some way. Does anyone have any ideas.

Thanks this worked but I found how to make it fail. I created a sequence with 3 stereo tracks and a 5.1 master. I then added a 5.1 audio track and deleted the stereo tracks. From then on the lift and extract fails.
I couldn't find a way to submit a bug to adobe. Please can someone tell mehow to do this.

Gourp Policy software installation suddenly stopped working

My GPO'S were all in wonderful working order, I just imaged 30+ machines using the same policies with no problem.
Now I have to deploy more machines but the GPO'S are not applying. I ran gpresult on one of the computers in question and get the message under component status\software installation: "The installation source for
this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it."
As far as I know the permissions on the share have not changed. sharing permissions are: domain admins- full control. Everyone- Read access.
Security Permissions are: administrators (servername\administrators)- full control. Creator Owner-Special Permissions. Domain Admins- Full Control. Domain Users- Read & execute, list folder contents. SYSTEM- full control. Users- (servername\users)- Read
& execute, list folder contents.
I could really use some help on this, spent the last few days smashing my head on my desk.

> under component status\software installation: "The installation
> source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists
> and that you can access it."
grab a copy of psexec, open an admin commandline and run "psexec -s
cmd". Can you access your source files in that session? In addition,
examine application event log for the exact source path.
