The installation can't find the OS CD

I have gotten to the GUI part of the install. It is now asking for me to insert the CD with the Operating Environment. I have tried all three CD's to no avail. The Installation CD and SW1 CD are bootable. But when I get to this part, the CD drive spins up and instantly stops spinning and ejects the CD telling me that this is not the correct CD. Any ideas? Thank you.

Here is a technote I wrote for my archives when I found this same problem with my SunBlade 100's. Obscurely you will find this problem doc'd with the SUN Install Release Notes under subtitle "Custom Jumpstart fails..." (yes- this has nothing to do with custom jumpstart). Hope this works...
SUNBLADE INSTALL FROM CDROM
PROBLEM: Coming of the SUNBlade specific boot CD "Installation" for 8 10/00 or 8 1/01 all goes well until you are asked for CD #2. From here it fails stating you inserted the wrong CDROM.
RESOLUTION: The installation release notes document the problem, but not the resolution (very clear anyway- the doc states the problem is specific to Jumpstart).
1. Reboot when it ask for CD #2 (use the webstart tools on right side for term prompt)
2. It will run an auto start script for the first CD #1 on boot. Right click on the screen, get to a terminal and delete /etc/rc2.d/S96webstart and reboot
3. Login into the CDE environment, get to a prompt and execute the installer #./cdrom/cdrom0/installer

I had identical Installer Log failure notices: I used Houdini to view the invisible files and per Limnos' suggestion cautiously dragged
user > library > preferences > com.apple.installer.plist out of that folder onto my desktop and double-clicked on the .pkg file again and it opened and installed properly.
My Installer now works properly on all .pkg files.

The installer is damaged. The installer can't open the package. (FCS 2)

Hi, everytime I try to install Final Cut Studio 2 on my Mac Book Pro (10.6.2), I get this message:
The installer is damaged.
The installer can't open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions.
When i run Disk Utility, the package seems to have no problems. I'm sure the dmg is not corrupted since I was able to install this on my iMac G5 (10.5).
Help!
Thanks...

Locate the original disks and make a new dmg. I've had to do this occasionally. Not sure why the installer disk image breaks, but it does. In fact, I've had more problems with the Adobe disk images I've made. They seem to install once, and then break, which totally defeats the purpose of making them. The FCS dmgs I've made have lasted a while, and I've used them about 6 or 7 times. But I did have to recreate them twice in 3 years.
If it says the installer can't use it, best bet is, you won't be able to fix it. One thing you could try though, copy them to a desktop and then run them. It could have to do with trying to run them over a managed network.

The Safari Can't Find The Server - Error!

After updating my iPad and Mac OSX to the latest version, I am constantly getting 'The Safari Can't find the server' error on valid addresses. I have to refresh a few times to access the website.
I have gone through many posts and I gathere that it is not a Mac issue, but something to do with network settings - DHCP/Proxy. But I still could not figure out how to solve the problem.
If someone can guide/advise me then that would be a great help..
Thanks

I'm having similar issues with Safari saying it can not find the server. Tumblr and Zooniverse sites are particularly troublesome, even with refreshing. I have checked the status of their servers and they are up and running without issues. I can access them eventually but have to close the current tab and reopen later. However, when I use Chrome or Firefox I can access the sites with no problem. It's not a local network problem as I can access the internet and those sites on my iPhone and all other sites. It appears to be an issue with Safai.
Safari Version 5.1.1 (7534.51.22)

I frequently get the "Firefox can't find the server" error message.

I frequently get the "Firefox can't find the server" error message. Refreshing the page normally causes the page to load, although sometimes it takes more than one try.
I have checked my connection settings. IPv6 and DNS prefetching are disabled, as recommended by this article: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20cannot%20load%20websites%20but%20other%20programs%20can?s=Firefox+can%27t+find+the+server+at&r=1&as=s

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

The Aplication can't find the obb

My Aplication can't see the obb file after install - it can find it only after device system reload
but I can see it on such directorys by any file manager:
storage/sdcard0/Android/obb/
storage/emulated/legacy/Android/obb/
storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/
I use this path to find obb:
var path : String = "Android/obb/air.AppName";
var filename : String = "main.1000000.air.AppName.obb";
var file : File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(path + "/" + filename);
so why aplication can't find it ?

Yes i see this solution later but its no the way to load expansion from external storage - because it hase some security restrictions - for exaple if I am loading swf from externla storage it can't listen some events like GESTURE and some other
my app can find obb on Android 4 right away
but on Android 5 only after reload
i am fully described this issue in this report - Bug#3918676 - The Aplication can't find the obb expansion file

I've run "Repair Disc Permissions" in Utilities.
Any suggestions? I've seen this problem addressed in other discussions, but none of those solutions seem to work for me. Thanks in advance.

Hi, it's important to Repair the Disk, or at least Verify Disk before Repairing Permissions.
Also, how much free space is on your Hard Drive?
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

Could it be a problem of the songs or the ipod?

My Firefox crashes frequently, but I the system can not find the reports to send for analysis.

My Firefox crashes frequently, The system goes to the grayed screen and sits there until I try to close it, then it says "Firefox not responding" and I close the program. When I go to "about:crashes" it says the report was submitted, but I never get any feedback and when I try to retrieve the report to look at it, the system can never find it. This happens at least twice daily. It keeps searching for a while, then displays the gratituous "Oh Noes. The report could not be located" message. I've included the latest crash report address.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Can't complete the operation can't find the original item mavericks time capsule folder

Since I updated to mavericks I can't access one of the folders on my time capsule, the one that contains the time machine copy as well as other stuff, all the software that has links to that folder can access it as well as me from the terminal, but everytime that i click on it on the finder, the message "Can't complete the operation because can't find the original item" appears.
If anybody can help me out i'll be grateful.

I've found kind of a workaround, I just disconnect from the network and connect again and it'll will recognize the drive 80% of the times, you can also access it from logic or imovie and other apps.
C'mon apple guys, solve this thing, the new osx has already been out for more than a month and i've found myself copying and movig files from the terminal like we were in the eighties. I barely remember the commands!
