Some files could not be installed in "/"

I am unable to update my Macbook Pro and my optical drive does not work so I am unable to use the disk that came with my laptop. I need to know if there is away for me to update my laptop.

Hi Ashley,
If you have another Mac with Firewire, you can use it's Optical Drive for the MBP.
Put the Disc in the Other Mac, boot the other Mac into FireWire target disk mode...

Boot the MBP with the Option/alt key held down & the Disc in the other one should show as a boot choice.

  • Acrobat v10x CS6 Installation: "Some items could not be installed and then Error 1301

    Brand new MacBook Pro Retina 16GB, 512SSD, Mountain Lion.
    I successfully installed all apps in CS6 Web and Design Premium EXCEPT... I had a warning on Acrobat install: "Some items could not be installed properly".
    However, Acrobat 10.0.0 launches and runs fine. Then, I try to move on and upgrade to 10.1.4 (or even 10.0.1) and no matter whether I uninstall and reinstall, repair disk permissions, talk to Adobe support for four times now and let them try everything, I'm still getting Error 1301 "The update could not be applied because Adobe Acrobat application contents were modified since the original installation. I had them send me a hard copy of the CS6 Suite and reinstalled the entire suite. Again, ALL other apps run and upgrade perfectly EXCEPT Acrobat.
    Now, support tells me to use the "Run Repair Acrobat Installation to replace missing files." from this advisory and call them back later (file:///Users/mbp/Desktop/extras/maccomputers/Errors%20and%20freezes%20%7C%20Adobe%20Rea der%20%7C%20Mac%20OS.webarchive).
    Here's the latest hitch: There is no such:  "Repair Acrobat Installation". I'm thinking they think there is and there isn't.
    Also, in details this:

    Any wisdom out there which is not in the "experimental" arena would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the advice. Tried this and does not work. Exact same results. I really wonder if I am the only person with a MacBook Pro Retina with an 512GB SSD running Mountain Lion that has tried to install Acrobat 10.0.0. I think there is some conflict with Mac OS 10.8.2 that is hostile to the installation sequence Adobe created for Acrobat. I fear Adobe would rather I upgrade to Acrobat X1 than spend their time patching this.

  • Can't create a partition - 'some files could not be moved'

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to install Boot Camp on my MBP C2D, 2.33GHz, 3GB RAM, x1600 128. I set the size of the partition and after a long time get an error that the partition could not be created, because some files could not be moved. It tells me to go into disk utility and restore the Mac OS drive to a single partition and install OSX again.
    I'm at university so I can't reinstall OSX, and don't want to. As I've read from around the net this problem means there is a big file somewhere that can't be moved, or something similar. What I've done is check my disk with iDefrag, which says its only 0.7% fragmented, I've 'erased' my free space, I've deleted even more stuff off my Mac HD (have 35 or so GB free, only want a 5GB partition), I've verified and fixed both the drive and permissions in disk utility and disk ulitity from a CD boot, and tried changing the size of the partition. I tried creating a partition in disk utility, and was told it could not be done because there was not enough space (there definately was). I've used a bunch of tools to clean up my computer, re-indexed spotlight, and I'm at the end of my rope of ideas. I've had bootcamp many times on this laptop before, so am totally at a loss what to do. Does anyone have any ideas? Again, I can't reinstall OSX/wipe the drive.
    I'm using Leopard, 10.5.5.
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. I went from 40 GB to 230 GB of free disk space. Tried creating a partition with 100, 80, 60 GB, but it slaps me with the same error message each time. It is ridiculous to ask users to backup and restore their information (by the way, it should say take a long process of backing up all your files, reformatting your hard drive and reinstalling your operating system together with all applications). I do have an external drive, but it is already full. Why else would anyone buy it? To wait for something like a boot camp error to happen and ask me to backup my stuff? There are big files on my computer and if now over 230 GB is not enough free space for it to move them around then I can really be ashamed for ever buying such an expensive computer which can't do a simple task as creating a partition.

  • Revel Error Message: "Some files could not be uploaded."

    Error Message: "Some files could not be uploaded. 1 file was unable to be uploaded and was skipped." I am a Revel user from its inception. I have never had upload errors before in Adobe Revel. I am trying to upload jpeg files in the same way I have done for months, which is by dragging and dropping files directly into an album I have created. Starting yesterday, only some files upload properly. Others receive the above error message. When I have tried to re-upload the jpegs which have not gone, I receive either the same error message or a slightly different error which indicates the files are not uploading because they are duplicates. They're not duplicates and appear nowhere else in my Revel albums. I have rebooted my Window 7 PC, I have repeatedly logged out and back into Revel. I have tried both Firefox and IE. I have tried creating new albums and uploading the failed files to a new album. I have cleared my Firefox cache. I have tried both the "drag and drop" feature and the "Add Photos or Videos" button in Revel. I have tried using the "Export to Revel" feature in Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I have tried uploading never-before-attempted files, and - on average - only 25% of those brand-new files are uploading. I am a subscriber and pay for the Revel service, so I am not bumping into any upload quotas. I have read through these forums and have found problems similar to mine as far back as May 2013, but none of the problems ever seem to have been resolved other than the users simply giving up. Can you help? I am becoming increasingly confused with respect to which files have succeeded and which files have failed. Thank you. -Dori

    You can have many libraries with many albums and files within them. Each library is independent, so if you upload a file to two libraries then you two copies. If you put a photo from a library in albums that live within that library, then there is only one copy in the library that each album has access to so it will show up when you view the album.

  • The disk cannot be partitioned because some files could not be moved

    Hi guys,
    I removed my bootcamp partition to clear up some temp space and expanded the Mac OS partition up to the fullest size again using Boot Camp Assistant.
    The first thing I noticed was that when I restart to computer gets stuck on an ugly BIOS looking screen with a message something along the lines of "no bootable partitions could be found", Easy way round is to hold down the ALT key which brings up a sole Mac OS button to boot from.
    Now I try and make a little partition again using the assistant and it won't let me because it says "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files could not be moved". It then advises to back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended volume before restoring again.
    Is there anyway to fix this lot without going through doing this.
    Will Boot Camp Restore re-instate the OS as well as my user files?

    I had a similar problem when I undid my boot camp partition to make it larger. I tried to make it 50 GB which gave me the same error about the files not being able to be moved. I didn't get the "no bootable partitions" error. I changed the size of the partition to 47 GB and ran the boot camp assistant. It stopped while partitioning and I have to force quit to stop it. I restarted the assistant and made the partition a little larger to 48 GB and it partitioned finally. My suggestion is to ry adjusting the size of the partition and see if that allows you to make the partition at least. For you other problem, I'm not sure... From what I gathered from other forums, the drive might be fragmented which causes the partition error. There is no free defragment tool for mac (dunno why) but they exist.

  • T61, some updates could not be installed! Why?

    Some update could not be installed
    The following updates were not installed:

    Why? and how can I install this update? If I turn off the firewall and anti-virus software, this still happens.

  • I am trying to get iOS 7, but I need to download iTunes 11.1 first. when i try to install it, it says that some files could not be saved and it won't install

    My macbook air will not download itunes 11.1 because some of the files could not be saved? Need it to download ios 7

    That would be my first guess.  You might be trying to install the 32 bit version of the program.
    Update the thread with more info on your apple software etc if its a 64 bit install you're trying to perform.

  • ITunes could not be installed because some of the files are missing, please

    I just bought an Iphone and when I went to install the latest version of itunes i get the message "iTunes could not be installed because some of the files are missing, please reistall iTunes" during the installation. I have tried every recommended solution I could find on the apple website. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem??

    A number of people seem to have had this problem, see this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1221432&tstart=0
    In the thread you will find a post from Royb of Apple inviting people to send in installer logs. It might be an idea to take advantage of that.

  • "Error loading media. File Could not be played"  when trying to view streaming media on only some sites.  How to fix?

    Hi!
    I've been having a problem trying to view streaming media, but it only happens on some sites.  It's similar to a problem I have on my Windows PC, that's related to Adobe Flash, but since I'm very new to using my iPad Mini, I don't even know if Apple devices have Flash...do they?
    Anyway, when I go to a site that's plagued by this issue, I tap the 'Play' arrow on my screen & the circle spins like it's gonna play, but then the screen turns black & this error message appears:
                                                  "Error loading media. File Could not be played"  followed by a triangle with an exclamation point !
    I read several articles online & the solutions ran from updating firmware in their router, (mine is brand new...installed last Thursday), to disabling ad-block programs in their browsers...(I don't have any enabled), and the last one was making changes to the DNS...(I know it means 'domain name server', but I don't have the foggiest idea how to make changes to it!
    Anyway, that's my problem.  I hope that someone out there knows what I can do to fix it!
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I would assume an issue with the HTML5 media player.
    If those aren't working on Windows then it is possible that the proper codecs aren't installed.
    You can try to disable the HTML5 media player and make Firefox use the Flash plugin.
    You can do this by setting these two prefs to false on the <b>about:config</b> page:
    *media.windows-media-foundation.enabled
    *media.directshow.enabled
