Stuck in a perpetual install loop...

Ok, now I am in a perpetual install loop...
Maverick fails to install - error msg that HD is damaged and can't be repaired. Reboot in recovery mode and run verify disk-all ok. Run repair disk anyway-all ok. Run verify permissions for sh!ts and giggles-all ok. Run repair permissions too-all ok. Reboot....maverick automatically starts to install. And we start all over again.
Can't force quit the installer.
Question: can I reboot my mac book as an external drive and manually delete maverick from the HD?

When you start up the Mac hold the shift key as soon as you hear the Mac "chime" (boot sound).
Release the shift key when you can see a spinning wheel on your display.
When the login window appears select "restart", don't hold any keys now.

Crystal Report XI Release 2 stuck in install loop

Post Author: jerryk
CA Forum: Upgrading and Licensing
Hi,
Since upgrading from Crystal Reports XI to release 2 (Windows XP pro), I have been stuck in an install loop. Each time I launch Crystal Reports XI Release 2 from the start menu is says "installing Crystal Reports XI Release 2". How can I prevent this from occurring?

Try this post http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/cs/forums/thread/3798.aspx I had the same problem. Completely removed the software and registry keys, rebooted and then installed XI R2 and it worked fine.

Stuck in an Endless Restart Loop

My Mac Pro 8-core running OS 10.5.4 is stuck in an endless restart loop. The problem started when I tried to allow read & write access on my Macintosh HD to another user. Even though I only applied the permission change to my internal hard drive, all my externals suddenly became locked and I could not access them. When going to set permissions on the externals, it was listed as "custom" and I could not alter them. I went to the terminal to try to allow access to the external drives, but the terminal failed to load. That's when I tried restarting my computer and it's now rebooting constantly without ever loading.
What I've tried so far:
-I can't load the OSX install CD because the computer is unresponsive to the open tray command by holding down the mouse click.
-The computer is unresponsive when I try to start in safe mode.
-The computer is unresponsive when I hold down command option O F to force the tray open with firmware.
-I reset the PRAM by pressing command option P R, this is the only keyboard command that has worked so far, but still nothing.
-I unplugged the computer for 10 minutes and plugged it back in. Still nothing.
Any help on what to do next would be appreciated.

I'm having a similar problem.. my early 2008 3Ghz macro when cold starts up the fans rev up and click its off. this repeats for up to five minutes, then i get a chime and then it shuts off. this is repeated for a will as if it is warming up. after about ten minutes it gets as far as finishing booting up and still shuts off. only after about 15 minutes this operating system is stable and does not shut off.
when the computer is fully warmed up it shuts off and restarts fine..
it has recently had a new logic board. can it be the power supply..
please any one got any ideas???

Creative Cloud is Stuck on the InDesign Install

I am running Creative Cloud. During the install of InDesign the CC app asked me to shut down a copy of Adobe Acrobat. I shut Acrobat down but Creative Cloud is stuck on the InDesign install. I shut down CC and restarted it but it is still stuck. Is there a way to stop the CC install of InDesign?

You could try restarting your computer

Probably the best place to start is the right forum for your product. This is the forum for Distiller Server, a long dead product used by big companies, and probably not what you have. If you can't find the right forum, please let us know the FULL name of what you paid for (please check your invoice, as Adobe have many similar products), and we can perhaps direct you. Good luck!

I erased all of the loops on my logic pro 9. Do i need to reinstall all discs, or are there specific discs to install "loops?"

There's a new menu entry in the latest version, allowing you to download all the extra content directly onto your hard drive, without having to keep inserting new DVDs etc. It's 19gb (compressed). If you have a normal/decent internet connection, you could reinstall your loops while you're busy doing something else. Or busy doing nothing.

Access to all installed loops only via new "loops"-project

Hi, I'm working with GB since its first appearence. Recently I tried to clean up my installed loops following Apple's advise. So they reside now where they are supposed to be, depending on their origin in
.../GB/Apple Loops/
or
.../audio/Apple Loops/
The indexes have been cleared and newly built too.
Now, when I start a new project via the welcome screen, choosing "Loops", then I see all loops in the loops browser and I can use them all.
When I start another kind of project or just tweak any old saved project, then only a few loops are to be seen.
What am I doing wrong here? Some ideas? Thanks in advance!

PSE 8 for Mac stuck on "preparing to install"

Hi all,
Just received the disk of PSE 8 for Mac as a present. I try to install and it gets stuck on "preparing to install."
Equipment: MacBook Pro Running 10.6.2
Have Lightroom 2, Lightrroom 3 Beta, Acrobat 8 Pro, Flash Player and Community Help Client
Previously i bought and downloaded PSE 8 but I had the same issue. I 'returned it" and got my money back.
Ideas please?
Best,
Scott

HI Scott,
Copying the text from your post on the other thread which really helped in understanding this issue:
Scott says:
"I double click the disk and use the setup.app to install.
It checks the sys profile. I then put in my serial number, etc.
Then it just stays on “Preparing to install”. (How long is it meant to do this? Maybe I am not waiting long enough?)
I click the install button. It goes grey and then back to white.
Eventually I lose patience and quit out."
Your issue is definately different than the one which could have been resolved by the Tech Doc link which I sent you earlier, actually there are two time the string "Preparing to install.." is shown during the installer workflow, first during the initialization process before the Welcome Screen is shown to the user and second for 1-2 seconds between the transition of user clicking on Install button and Progress Bar being shown to the user. Since, in your case, installer is stucking at Progress bar, the Preparing to Install string is visible evidently to you. A screenshot would have been really helpful in understanding this issue. My bad I should have asked for it...
Regarding the current situation, the workaround here with which Barbara tried to help you, will not work, because your's is very specific and rare issue which we have seen reported only once before on the forum, so I am sure we will get it sorted out.Please follow the below steps:
1. Go inside the <Macintosh HD>\Applications\Utilities\Adobe Installers\ folder.
2. If there are any uninstall alias of Adobe sub components like ESTK, Extension Manager, Bridge, Adobe Updater, etc, then please invoke that installer and uninstall all those sub components.
3. Now try to install PSE 8 again.
4. If it still doesnt work, then please run the CS4 clean up script for Mac, and select CS4 from the drop down and let me know what all applications it is listing in it as available for cleaning/deleting.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406241.html#CS4CleanMac
Please keep me informed, if anything doesnt work out then eventually we will setup a time to meet over the internet and I will get this issue resolved.
Regards,
Ankush

Russian keyboard stuck in "preparing to install" p...

My phone is Lumia 620. Installed Russian keyboard, then had to reset to factory settings because of a memory card. Now when I tried to re-download it it's stuck in "preparing to install" phase for hours. I can't delete it to try again (I suppose a hard reset would work but don't want to spend another two hours re-applying my settings and downloading apps). Tried to search the net but most people have a problem with the download getting stuck, not installing. (I also suppose my download could have gone a bit wrong somewhere as my phone switched off by accident somewhere in the middle and I don't know if it could have "broken" the download?) Estonian keyboard installed correctly and very quickly.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, the issue sorted itself out in the meantime, if anyone has a keyboard download stuck, just let the battery go low until the phone switches off. It could work.

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

"-error" "wStub" "721426". Printer is installed and working, but continuous install loop with error.

I get the above error, quotes and all, on my daughters computer recently. She is running Windows 7. The only change is that my husband recently did some network maintenence on her computer so that she could back up some of her media to the storage drive.
She was previously able to print from this printer (it's set up as a network printer, wireless for users) and had no issues. Now, she has this weird install loop. I was able to reinstall the printer despite the loop so that she could print again (it overwrote it with wrong data) but it still keeps trying to install and when the administrator permissions come up asking if we want to allow it, and we say no, then it cycles off and starts right back up again.
I have already followed the directions online for the re-regestering, and i have run a new virus scan.
What next?
