There is always an error installing the ios, why? I need help, ty

Why is it that there is always an error in installing the ios update 6.0.1. I need help. Ty

What iOS are you currently running?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    I am currently trying to install the Creative Cloud but error: 204 keeps popping up stating 'There seems to be a problem accessing a critical file/directory during download...'
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks

    So, padraig, five weeks later, have you had any luck seeing this resolved?
    Chat sessions with two different support techs, and Error 204 still prevents my CC update install.
    Meanwhile my boss is paying for CC while I continue to use CS4.
    I know I'll have to go back to Adobe support, but I'm hoping someone will find a solution and post it in the forum.

  • I'm trying to print using my iPad2. The Apple tech told me to install the HP print app Need help to

    Installed the HPapp for my iPad2, now I need help making it work with the deskjet 6840

    Which HP App are you trying to use?  Is it the HP ePrint app or the HP iPrint app?  Since your printer is wireless (and not web connected) I'd recommend the HP iPrint app.  Can you double check that the iPad and your printer are on the same wireless network.. this is key in printing from your iPad to this printer.

  • There are times 5s lagging very bad after I update the IOS 7.03, need help

    Before I update to  my IOS 7.03, I don't have this problem before.  But now, once in a while my phone is lagging very bad, not sure of why.  But it will goes away after a while. Anybody else having the same problem? 
    It happens most of time during log in.  It's impossible to use the finger print log in when lagging; and when type in passcode, letter sometime take 1 second to respond on screen.

    Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Try each step in order until your problem is solved.

  • Acrobat Pro Ext 9 always crashes, error 147:6 (I'm traveling & need help!)

    I installed (from CDROM) and activated Acrobat Pro 9 Extended a week or so ago on my laptop, Windows XP Pro. I used it several times without any problem. I left my home yesterday on a one month trip, mostly out of the US but in the US until tomorrow. So now it crashes.
    I tried to Print to PDF yesterday from another program. Acrobat started to open then crashed. If I open it by itself, as soon as I try to do anything, even just Help/About Acrobat, it crashes with a message:
    'You cannot use ... Repair by uninstalling or reinstalling .... 147:6 "
    Even if I just open it and wait, within a little while it will crash. I've attached a screen copy of the exact image.
    I don't travel with original cdroms, so I cannot simply uninstall and reinstall. Is there anything I can do or am I SOL?
    Thanks.

    I hope you get all your money back promptly! How frustrating.
    If the seller was selling the software as new, that was probably just a scam or his source was unreliable.
    For purchasing used software, it's possible the seller did not realize that the Acrobat had to be deactivated first. You could request verification of the deactivation prior to purchasing used software. That would at least allow you to make sure the seller understands that deactivation is necessary. The license is good for two computers and if it is installed on two computers, each installation would need deactivation, otherwise the buyer would be sharing a license and breaking the license agreement.
    As for why the program ran for a bit, maybe there was temporarily one activation available for that serial number. The error message makes sense because a missing or corrupted serial number file would be replaced during reinstallation and reactivation.

  • Help.  I had to re-install the OS system and need help.

    I had to re-install everything for a problem I rather not get into but.....I had just published a site using iWeb. I forgot to get a copy of my "Site" folder and can no longer open my files that I have published on the Internet using iWeb. Is there a way that I can download it or do I have to make my pages all over again?
    Thanks,
    wapeppper

    Wapepper,
    Sorry to tell you but the answer is really no.
    Your iWeb site is held in the domain file which lives here:
    User / Library / Application Support / iWeb / domain.sites
    You need to start your site from scratch if you dont have this file, you may be able to use copy /paste to pull some of the data back from your published site.
    Note: If you give your new site the same name in Site Organizer in iWeb as the old site, it will delete the old site when you publish the new one.

  • No matter what site I download firefox from, there is always an error and will not open or install, what is the problem? I'm on a Mac with OS 10.4. I'm trying to download firefox 3.6.12.dmg

    When trying to download firefox 3.6.12.dmg to my Mac, OS 10.4, no matter what site I download it from, it will not install. There is always some error message. I'm trying to download it again now, and I know it will be the same thing again and again. Can anyone open a window for me, since the door is constantly being slamed in my face?
    Thanks

    Same proble here, although the Firefox system requirements says it is OK to have PowerPC G3 G4 or G5 ( I have G5 2GHZ)
    My solution; very simply use timemachine to restore the previous Frefox 3.x
    worked great in 3 mns

    I am trying to download and install the iOS 7.1 software that was sent thought general on my iPad 4 th generation it keeps saying there was an error downloading it, what do I do now?

    First try resetting your iPad and then try updating again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If it still will not work, try updating using iTunes. But before you do that, disable your firewall and your antivirus software, then try the update again.

    I tried using the downloaded update. It still didn't work but at least I did not have to restart my computer. The message was a little different too: "The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

    Run through this list of fixes, either something is corrupted or you have malware that's blocking the update.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Make sure to backup your users files to a external storage drive first (not only TimeMachine as it may fail to restore) and disconnect, because if' it's a drive corruption/failing then the entire thing will either have to be replaced or a wipe and install done.

  • There were errors installing the software

    Mac Mini G4 1.25GHz / 512MB / 40GB / Combo / Modem.
    Ser: YM6***TAB
    <Edited by Moderator: Personal Info - Please See Terms of Use>
    Originally Mum's Mini was "doing strange things", so I had to drive 150 miles to try to sort it out.
    First I downloaded AppleJack and tried it out on my own G4 Tower before heading north to visit Mum. Applejack installed OK from my USB memory stick.
    Unfortunately, it didn't occur to me to take a spare keyboard and I was unable to get her Mac Mini (with a miniature keyboard) to respond to any key presses at start-up, which foiled all attempts to use AppleJack or even single user mode!
    However, I was able to use DiskWarrior and it found several corrupted files on the Hard Drive, which it claimed (after two attempts) were repaired. I then "repaired permissions" and ejected the DiskWarrior disc. Then I had the bright idea of going to "Software Update" in the Apple Menu. This downloaded the latest OS10.4.11 and started to install it. After 20 minutes it reported that there was a "problem with installation" and I should reboot and try again, which I did, with the same result. So then I had the amazingly bright idea of erasing the drive and installing 10.4 from the original DVD. This got several minutes into the procedure before reporting a problem. "There were problems installing the software".
    I gave up at that point, left Mum my iBook to use and brought the Mac Mini home.
    I was able to boot it up from an external Firewire HD, which contained a clone of the boot drive from my own G4 Mac Mini. It seemed to work OK so I tried the Tiger installation DVD again. It failed as before but I was able to save the Crash Log onto the Firewire Drive and you can view it here:
    http://www.amstard.co.uk/temp/OSInstallCrashLog.txt
    (I hope this means something to somebody! The way I interpret it is that it installed a file then discovered that file was corrupted?)
    I used Prosoft "Drive Genius" to erase the internal Hard Drive again and it reported that all was well. But I still couldn't install the OS.
    After that, I couldn't even get the Mac Mini to boot from the external Firewire drive. It just produces a black oblong on a gray screen with a stalled "cog wheel". Here's a photo that I took:
    http://www.amstard.co.uk/temp/screenphoto.jpg
    There is nothing connected except the standard USB keyboard and mouse at this point and the external Firewire drive.
    It does boot up with the generic Tiger installation DVD. I can run Disk Utility, which reports no errors on the Hard Drive. But it fails when I try to install the OS 10.4 with an error message "There were problems installing the software" (generic OS10.4 installer) or "There were errors installing the software" (original Mac Mini OS10.4 installer).
    I have fitted a new 120GB drive and replaced the RAM. The OS still fails to install on the newly formatted drive. The Apple site suggests a firmware update for this error message but doesn't list one for the Mini.
    I have tried installing OS10.4 from the original Mac Mini installations discs and from a generic 10.4 installer. Both give the same "There were errors installing the software" message.
    I have "zapped the PRAM" without making any difference to this symptom.
    I have tried doing the simplest installation without any additional fonts, language translators or bundled software.
    Any suggestions - apart from "scrap it!"?

    Since this is an original G4 mini, there is no reason at all that any full retail 10.4 installer, or the original MacOS installer that came with the mini would not work. Later minis, released after Tiger's release date were in some instances unable to boot from the early versions of the Tiger retail installer because 10.4.0 or 10.4.1 pre-dated the versions those minis came supplied with, but clearly that isn't the case with your system.
    If you are certain that the MacOS install disk you have is the one that original one that came with the mini (which should be a late version of MacOS 10.3.x), then the only obvious thing to check is that you have correctly partitioned the drive (it should be partitioned in the Apple Partition Map scheme, and then formatted as MacOS Extended (Journalled). If those parameters are met and you continue to get the error from a valid installer for that system, then the potential causes narrow to such things as defective install disks (unlikely since you have tried more than one), defective optical drive unlikely because you can boot from the install disk using the drive), or defective logic board/disk controller - which is a distinct possibility since it's possible that was responsible for the first drive failure (or the indications of failure).
    Boot the system using the original MacOS installer and using Disk Utility, set the new internal drive up again with the APM partitioning and MacOS Extended (Journalled) formatting, then immediately run the 'Repair Disk' tool on it to make sure the drive is being read and written correctly. Then performa PMU reset (instructions below) to ensure that the failure to boot from the external FW drive is not a simple matter of dropped FW port. On rebooting with your FW drive connected, hold the Option key down to see if the system then recognizes your external drive. If it does, select it and attempt to boot from it.
    With luck that will give you a working system, booted from your external, at which point I would then see if it's possible to clone your external to the new internal drive, rather than attempt a reinstall from the MacOS installer.
    On the face of it there should be no reason that would not work since by booting from the MacOS installer you basically show that the system is sound and the optical drive is working. By partitioning and formatting the internal drive and getting a clean bill of health from the repair disk tool, you show the drive and disk controller are OK. That doesn't leave much else to be at fault!

  • There were errors installing the software  Os x disk 2

    Hey guys.
    I run an older version of os x (10.4.8) on a Macbook as I have an old version of pro tools that I won't run on anything newer. I havn't gotten round to updating pro tools.
    Yesterday, I tried to install the update for 10.4.11 since I'm not too bothered about pro tools anymore.
    It took around 2 hours, then at the end seemed to stop without any confirmation of it's success.
    After this, everything froze and I was forced to manually restart the macbook using the power button.
    When restarting, I got a kernel panic error which asked me to repeatedly start the system.
    Fed up with this, I decided to revert back to 10.4.8 by booting from the dvd, erasing the macbook harddrive and installing from scratch.
    Disk one went fine, but disk 2 hangs up when installing garage band instruments, then I get the message THERE WERE ERRORS INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE. PLEASE TRY AGAIN.
    I've tried this three times with no joy.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi Ibin5, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    It took around 2 hours, then at the end seemed to stop without any confirmation of it's success.
    Hmmm, that's too long, might see this...
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbook/hd/repairextension/
    Also, That second Disk thing happens frequently, the best way around it is to do a Custom install, and eliminate enough Printer Drivers, Languages, Fonts, and Applications you don't need... then it may skip #2 altogether.
