Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    How do I repair this

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.

  • The Installer Can't Create the Folder "Var/Folder/zc...

    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.

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
    From the application's menu bar, select
    File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
    You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
    Boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
    Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

  • ITunes 10.5 installer can't create folder

    I get this error message when trying to install iTunes 10.5. Apparently the installation can't create the folder: /var/folders/La/LaQAHHmZGs8NrqEezgVzH++++TI/-Tmp-/Install.247cicHOQ/Receipts. What is causing this and how can I fix it?

    10.5 has not be released to the general public since it is a BETA, so this is not the place to ask for help with this. Since the BETA is available officially for registered developers only, as a registered developer you have direct access to the appropriate Apple personnel for this and access to the developer's discussions area.

  • Fireworks Album Creator 1.0 - Can't create folder

    I'm following the tutorial here:  http://www.adobeopenoptions.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/fw_album_creator.html and as instructed have downloaded the Fireworks  Album Creator 1.0 MXP file (ZIP, 440K).  I havd Win7 and CS4 design premium.
    When doing the installation I get this dialogue:
    "Adobe Extension Manager 
    Can't create folder 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe
    Fireworks CS4\configuration\commands\Create
    Slideshow'.
    This is as far as I can get.  Can anyone help?

    You might try running the Extension Manager as an administrator. I had difficulties installing extensions with CS3 on Vista and I think the situation persisted to some degree. This might not be the right answer for you, but it's worth a shot.
    To run as an administrator, go through your Start menu to All Programs, then the Adobe folder and find the Extension Manager. Instead of a clicking normally to launch the program, right-click and select "Run as administrator."

  • Installation Failed The installer can't install some files in "/".

    The full message is
    Installation Failed! The installer can't install some files in "/". Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
    I first received this message when trying to upgrade Pro Tools from 8.0 to 8.0.1 a prerelease for snow leopard. I tried numerous things such as repairing permissions, as well as some pro tools specific things and to no avail. Still got the same error message.
    So then I tried completely uninstalling and deleting all things pro tools from my computer. After a clean uninstall and removing all traces of pro tools I proceeded to try and re-install pro tools from my pro tools 8 disk. About a minute into the process I get the EXACT same error message.
    I know this issue has been going on since even before snow leopard. I really need to get pro tools installed and running again or at least be able to get the program installed. I've isolated pro tools out of the mix because its been several different installers and even an installer from a dvd. I know this is a Snow Leopard or plain OS based problem. I have repaired permissions, created a brand new user, wiped clean and started over. I don't know anything else to do. PLEASE HELP???!!!

    Hi Dean@mac & welcome to the forums...
    Any specifics why it wants to install to / instead of Applications, as an example?
    Seen these threads yet?
    http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?search=Go&q=pro+tools
    One thing to help investigate the issue is to create a new user just for testing that is stock with no add-on's etc., then login there and try to install. If it works there you can bet there is something unique to your original account that is borking that install - otherwise the issue is most likely global to your system and you might be out of luck until/unless a reportedly qualified version becomes available, etc.
    Good luck in any case.

  • The installer does not create /etc

    Trying to install Arch but the installer won't create any /etc folder on the mount... (/mnt/etc). So when I get to the point where I'm supposed to edit all the settings, none of the files exist...
    Anyone have a solution?
    -X-

    I'm not sure if this has anything to do with your problem but I had a similar issue when installing arch on a laptop for a friend. I was using Archlinux-i686-2007.08-2.ftp.iso and all the conf files were empty. I tried installing three or four times and always the same thing. Then I downloaded and used Archlinux-i686-2008.03-1-archboot.ftp.iso and everything installed fine.

  • Error while relocating (Can't create folder)

    I have been running a referenced library for some time now. I seem to have run into a problem where I can no longer move originals from my hard drive to the referenced external drive.
    When trying to do so, I get the following message:
    Error while relocating (Can’t create folder)
    Any ideas what has changed and how to fix this error?
    Thanks
    Robert

    I did the verify disk from drive utility, checked out as ok. I decided to run the repair disk anyways. I first chose the name of the drive "1 TB Seagate" and all was well with both verify and repair.
    I then chose "GoFlex Aperture" and did the same. Verify was fine, but as you can see, something is amiss with trying to repair it.
    Here's the get info grab.
    Here's the console shot, did find something about the goflex aperture database drive, although that is far beyond my ability to comprehend.
    I appreciate your help. I'm running to the post office, be back in a bit.
    Thanks,

  • 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.
