The installer refuses to update beyond 10.4. =(

I've just got a Mighty Mouse and saw that to be able to use it to max I need to have 10.4.2 or later. I currently have 10.4, so I tried to download the combo updater to get 10.4.3 instead.
But the installer says "this unit does not meet the requirements for this installation" (it says roughly that, but in Swedish...). I've had the same problem when I've tried to update eariler on too (when trying to update to 10.4.2). AFAI understand, the software update thingy should also automatically find this update, but it doesn't. There seems to be something about my computer that makes it impossible to upgrade beyond 10.4? =/ I've got a regular eMac G4 1.25 GHz with 512 mb ram...
Any ideas? It's very frustrating that it just says that it doesn't work, without any explanation whatsoever about why. Any help would be dearly appreciated! Here's a complete copy of the installation logs if it can help anyone:

Yes torb,
It does make a difference. If the Tiger install DVD is a model specific, or upgrade Disk, then it won't install a full operating system, on your Mac.
More info here Tip:Install Disks/Use On Multiple Macs.
The tip applies to Tiger DVDs as well.
The Tiger Full Retail Version Install Set, has an install DVD that looks like THIS.

  • After installing iOS 6.0, YouTube was gone, and can't fine it at app store.  The installation of new updates is never succecessful.  And there seems to be no way that you can stop it.  Why is that?

    After installing iOS 6.0, the previously installed YouTube was gone, and couldn't  find it at app store.  Also, the installation of new updates Can not be completed, they have been in "installing" status for days.  And there seems to be no way that I  can cancel it.  What should I do?

    Thanks, I understand that.  Now the biggest problem is that I can not purchase or install anything from App Store.  They have been in "waiting" mode ever since I tried to install them.  What might be the reason? 

  • So last week... iMac stuck in the past, refuses to update web content!

    Hello,
    I posted a couple of questions elsewhere but realize now they may be related.
    Since I installed OS 10.4.10, my iMac has been having problems updating some web pages and widget content.
    For example, the Wimbledon.org home page is stuck on "Day 2 - Tuesday June 26" every time I open it using either Safari 3.0.2 or Firefox 2.0.0.4 (the same page on other computers normally shows today's date). Reloading does not help. More generally, for news sites, I need to constantly reload almost every page to get recent content, otherwise, it usually shows results from my last visit.
    Also, my Apple Weather widget is giving me weather from last Friday or even earlier. I can check new cities with up-to-date forecast, but checking my regular cities like New York, NY continuously returns weather info and forecast from last week.
    This sounds like a cache issue, so here is what I have done so far:
    - Empty all caches (system, internet, kernel, dashboard, etc...) using Onyx as well as manually trashing folders
    - Running the maintenance scripts
    - Repair permissions and verify disks: all OK
    - De-installing Safari 3.0.2 and reinstalling it (though the issue also affects Firefox)
    - Deinstalling and reinstalling the Weather widget
    - Refresh all windows and widgets using command-R or shift-click reload.
    - Trashing preferences for Safari and widgets
    Nothing helped. Moreover, I have no third party extension on Safari.
    The exact same configuration on another computer (MacBook) seems to work fine now, though the first two days after OS 10.4.10 installation had some of the issues described above.
    It looks like my computer does not want to age and refuses to update some web content!
    Any suggestions, other than what I have already done? Should I try reverting to OS 10.4.9 or is there a fix?
    Thanks,
    Sacha

    Hi Sacha - there have been a lot of problems after updating to 10.4.10, a reliable fix is to perform an Archive and Install and then use the 10.4.9 combo updater to revert to 10.4.9.
    This generally fixes all problems, and is pretty painless to do.

  • Who kills your iPod after the installation of iPod updater?

    Hello all,
    First, sorry for my poor English. I am not a professional nor a technician and I could be wrong, so please correct me. There are many problems reported mainly from the PC users that their iPod can't be recognized nor mounted after the installation of the latest iPod updater. Most of them claimed that the iPod updater kills their beloved iPods. Before we jump to a conclusion, we must understand what is iPod, and how does the iPod update work.
    I believe that iPod equals a basic computer and need a OS in order to communicate with the PC. Installation the Updater will format the Hard disk of the iPod and then install the simple OS, so if we open the iPod updater file, it will show a window with two buttons i.e. Restore and Update, an Update is to copy the latest OS over the old version, but the Restore will format the hard disk before it install the OS over it. And importantly, during this process, the iPod needs sufficient of power to complete the upgrade, however, the problem comes just after the format, and the PC's USB (only 2 will work not 1.1) does not supply the stable power,even some cases that iPod does not get charge in the half way of installatin (a proper installation, you will see a running bar showing on the iPod screen just after the format), so you can imagine a hard disk got format but only got an uncompleted OS, of course, the iPod would not get recognized and mounted, and do not manage to communicate with the computer. At this stage the iPod will show a Sad iPod icon, a folder with exclamaiton points or a battery charging icon.
    So, what would you do when it reach at this stage, a Reset would not work, and you would not able to do the Restore as the iPod is totally unrecognized by the computer.
    Therefore, is there anyway to solve this problem, in my opinion and from my past experience, the answer is "yes", the simple way is to put your iPod in Disk Mode, when it plug to the computer, it will show as an external Hard Disk, you must fix it by doing a format (RESTORE would not work at this stage as it still can't recognized and mounted), in Mac we can use "Disk Utility" but the XP would not allow you to do the format in FAT32. After the formatting, replug the iPod with the computer, then it can be mounted and allow you to do the RESTORE.
    In addition, I find an interesting point is, if your iPod formatted with a Mac, you will have better chance to be mounted with a PC, even your iPod does not complete the process of the installation of the iPod updater, and a PC formatted iPod will be likely to be fixed by a Mac as well.
    How should we do before the update of the lastest software, for the XP user please do the following:-
    1. Go to the system restore and create a check point in order to revert back to the previous version of the iPod updater, or do the back up using the 3rd party software such as Ghost or Go Back.
    2. To have a test and make sure the PC's USB works properly. You can use the iPod or a PDA, and just make sure it got charged.
    3. Have your iPod a full charge before the installation of the iPod updater
    So, who is the main killer for the iPod?
    For further infomation please read the following link - which wrote by a groups of great people - thank you guys
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68ae8668

    Hello Shanker Ghimire,
    Please try run the following command:" devenv /resetuserdata " to have a test, it will clear all your settings. 
    By the way, have you ever got any error when install that Visual Studio SDK?
    In case there are some unknown errors, I'd like to ask you for some logs. Please use

  • It seems that the installer on the Mac App Store is still OS X 10.9.3

    I downloaded the full installer app from the Mac App Store today.
    The version written on the Information Column is 10.9.4.
    However, I checked the md5 of the InstallESD.dmg only to find that it is the same as OS X 10.9.3's InstallESD.dmg.
    Hence, it seems that the full installer app on the MAS now is still OS X 10.9.3.
    Is there anyone who encountered the same problem?
    Here is the screenshot of the md5.

    Does the InstallESD.dmg contain everything that gets installed? I thought there were other packages that were external to the installESD?
    Do you need to compare every file?
    FileMerge in the developer tools does this visually.
    Or use find with md5…
    find "/Applications/Install OS X Mavericks.app" -type f -exec md5 {} \;
    # big list of md5's...
    You could just compare packages.
    find "/Applications/Install OS X Mavericks.app" -type f -name *.mpkg -exec md5 {} \;
    I suspect the installer also downloads updates, but it's not clear if this is automated or if it is only done in software update after the install, it seems like the latter.
    Also bear in mind lots of caching goes on with massive distribution systems like the App Store updates, you may want to give it a few hours (or days) to allow caches to be fully renewed, or try another network connection if possible, some ISP's can try to be aggressive about DNS or other caching.

  • When I run the installation utility nothing happens. I can save the file to the desktop or run it directly within another browser but Firefox does not install--the wizard never even initiates.

    Earlier this week Firefox 4.0 crashed. Unsure what happened I elected to reinstall. I downloaded a fresh copy of Firefox from the website and reinstalled. That was a disaster. Firefox was running about 1/20th the speed of Explorer.
    Figuring I had some residual problem from the crash I performed a full uninstall, eliminating all personal data and customization, to again install. I have now downloaded the installation utility eight times and not one has worked. Once the program finishes extracting it closes. The installation wizard never launches. I have tried both saving to my local disk and running from within the browser and I get the same result.

    Firefox is only a browser; it doesn't have the ability to install third party apps other than those specifically written for it like plugins and extensions.
    So after you choose "Save file", click the "Downloads" button in the toolbar and then right click the downloaded file and choose "Open Containing Folder", or "Open File Location" to take you to the folder where it can be found. See screenshot for an example of what the Download button looks like.
    From there, double click it to start the installation.
    To update Firefox, click Help | Check For Updates in the version you're running right now. The upgrade will subsequently take place automatically.
    N.B. If the file you downloaded didn't come from a bona fide source, always right click it and choose to scan it with your anti-virus app first before you run (double click) it. That way, you avoid installing malware which piggybacks onto another app.

  • How to keep the installer from installing iTunes in Program Files?

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit.  Because the folder "Program Files" is a protected folder in Windows I want to install iTunes under a folder "C:\Apple\iTunes".  If I download iTunes and manually install it I can tell it to put it there and it installs there fine.  If it tries to install iTunes under "C:\Program Files" all sort of problems are created.  Sometimes ownership of the folder is lost and that is a real pain to fix so I can delete the program.  Once after I created this folder and install iTunes under C:\Apple I received notice that the installer had an update to iTunes.  I told it to install it and it replaced the one in the C:\Apple folder like it was supposed to.  Since that one time, months ago, every time the installer goes to install an update it wants to put it in C:\Program Files and the installation fails.  Sometimes I can actually delete the folder that it has created sometimes the ownership is messed up and I have to start up in Safe Mode to delete it.  (A real pain.)
    So can I prevent the installer from putting the updates in the C:\Program Files folder and if so how?  It finds the old version, under C:\Apple, but won't put the new installation there, so it fails every single time.
    Any ideas?

    If you go to the standard download page it will detect the architecture of your PC and offer the correct installer.  Up to iTunes 12.0 the "64 bit" versions of iTunes were actually 32-bit applications with a 64-bit installer - so will install in C:\Program Files (x86).  As of iTunes 12.1 it is a "true" 64-bit application so installs in C:\Program Files.
    You can avoid using the Apple Software Update by:
    in iTunes, unchecking the Check for new software updates automatically box in Edit > Preferences > Advanced
    in Apple Software Update, select the "Never" radio button in Edit > Preferences > Schedule
    If you want to keep these active so that you're notified when there is a new version of iTunes available, just click Quit when the Updater opens and then install manually.  There's no accessible option in the Updater to alter the target folder for automated installations.  There's probably something in the Windows Registry that relates to this, but I'd be wary of changing this without substantial testing - there could be interaction/conflict with Windows settings regarding the correct location of 32- and 64-bit applications.

  • Has anyone had a problem with the ipod mini after update

    I just installed mac os 10.4.3 system update after the installation of this update ny ipod stop responding to the computer
    has anyone experianced this problem it wont even let me reset the ipod i have tried over and over again

    If you really find an answer to your question, you should search through these boards. A LOT of people have problems with their minis and Nanos after they download updates. Some people don't even bother with the updates.
    My suggestion? Delete the update you just downloaded and download the version before that one. See if your iPod responds to your computer.
