"There is nothing to install" Flip4Mac

Maybe someone here can help: just tried installing the free flip4mac version 2.1.2.72. The download went OK, but when I try to install, either with custom or easy install, I keep getting the message "Cannot install. There is nothing to install." The custom options show zero KBs. Tried it with two different downloads with same result. The dmg itself seems OK; shows 7.5 MBs which I think is right.
I know I might have to go over to their support forum, but there is no guest posting there and I'm really reluctant to have to register for yet another site.
Maybe someone can explain why this might be happening. Thanks.

Thanks Klaus. Sorry this is getting dragged out. I looked through the FAQs. Thanks very much for going to the trouble of finding that link.
I see something about things not working properly after installing and needing to uninstall first, but don't see anything about not being able to install at all with message "nothing to install." But it does seem reasonable that I would be able to re-install the update only after first completely uninstalling the older app. Even though I moved the old app to the trash to install the new one, must be files located elsewhere,
And, from my edited post above, which you might have missed as you were posting:
If I'm running videos through QT, then is Flip nothing more than a platform to launch QT and it doesn't matter which version of Flip I'm using?
That's what I'm really wondering about.

Reinstalling OS9 Classic, You cannot continue, there is nothing to install

I am using Tiger on an Imac with OS9. I cannot open the OS9 for some reason. I notice in the preference window the OS9 disc logo is missing. Somehow I guess I messed up the software. I found the discs that came with that Imac, and when I tried to reinstall OS9, I got a message saying "You cannot continue, there is nothing to install"
Any help would be appreciated
Thank You,
Bob

X11: You cannot continue. there is nothing to install.

Hi,
My X11 world has started misbehaving - whenever I try to xdisplay something back to my Mac I now get an error message saying 'unable to open display'. This all happened after the X11 session I was having with a remote linux box froze and I had to force quit X11. I thought I'd try to re-install X11 (via X11User.pkg) but I get to the part in the installer where I click on 'Install' and it then responds with:
You cannot continue. there is nothing to install.
I've tried removing the /usr/X11R6 directory and the X11 app itself but the installer message persists. Any ideas on how to proceed?
Thanks.

Sometimes the reason why these things don't work is that there is a "receipt" in /Library/Receipts that you need to manually delete.
<pre>
ls -1d /Library/Receipts/X11
/Library/Receipts/X11SDK.pkg/
/Library/Receipts/X11User.pkg/
</pre>

Installing X11 - "There is nothing to install"

I inserted my Tiger installation disc, navigated to the optional programs icon, then selected X11...only to get the message "There is nothing to install."
I noticed a couple other odd things...
In the Install Optional Installs window, there are columns for Package Name, Action and Size. Everything in the Action column is marked "Skip" (no "Install"???), and everything in the Size column is labeled 0 bytes.
What's going on?
Thanks.

Please ignore this thread; I discovered I just made a stupid mistake. Thanks!

Is there a way to install Flip4Mac on MBP?

The title says it.
I get this message from the installer:
"This version of Flip4Mac WMV Player cannot be installed on Intel-based hardware. Check again soon for a compatible version."

Hi Tribe,
What version was it? Try downloading version 2.0.2 > Mount the Disk Image > Go to /Applications/Utitlies > Control Click (right click) Installer > Get Info > Under Color Labes you should see Open Using Rosetta; check it. Go back to Flip4Mac (disk image) and run the installer. Now when you go to QuickTime, all you have to do is change it so that it will run with Rosetta (like you did with the Installer). You should go back after you install Flip4Mac (probably before you go to QuickTime so you don't forget) change Installer back so it is not using Rosetta. You can toggle QuickTime on and off using this method of toggling between Rosetta and the native mode.
That should work,
Jon

"You cannot continue. There is nothing to install."

I get this error message while trying to install new software.
I searched for the problem here and it seems that other people's problems and solutions were based on one particular program they were trying to install, ie OS9.
In my case, I have recently tried to install two different programs, completly unrelated to each other, and I get the same message.
Here are the programs, if that matters:
Palm Treo 650
M-Audio Firewire 410 MIDI Audio interface
Any help would be much appreciated.

The plot thickens!
I know how to repair permissions and do that frequently. However, I wasn't sure if you meant that repairing the drive was something different than that. I'm not sure what that is.
In any case, I had not tried repairing permissions on the CD drive, which is greyed out anyway. However, I did try to Verify Disk on the two disks that I am having trouble installing. In both cases, I got a lot of red and a message saying: Volume needs repair.
As opposed to several other disks from programs that i've installed in the past, where the green message stated: Volume passed verification.
In neither case is Repair Disc Permissions an option. Is there someway for me to repair these?
It still seems unlikely to me that both of these disks, from 2 different companies and programs, bought 6 months aparts from each other, should be corrupt, when nothing else is.
Both of these disks claims to be for Mac and PC.
Any additonal help would be much appreciatied.

"Cannot continue, nothing to install"

So I am trying to download ventrilo. When I first downloaded it I found out the version I had downloaded would not work on my version of mac. So, I trashed it and proceeded to download the 3.0.0 version. When I got through to the installation part it said it couldnt continue because there was nothing to install. Please help me fix this!

That error as a rule is because it thinks it's already Installed, does it have an Uninstall option to try before reinstalling it?

Nothing to install

Hi, I have a powerbook g4 and was having problems with my ipod showing up in itunes so i decided to reinstall itunes. Now however when i got to reinstall, after deleting itunes, it says there is nothing to install, and the install items are in grey. Plus it wont let me delete one portion of itunes as it says the itunes helper is open. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do?
thanks
Jesscia

The other advice you've gotten is great. You should definitely delete the receipt from the previous iTunes installation. You also need to go to System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and remove iTunesHelper from the list. Then log out of your account and log back in, or restart the computer. After that, you should be able to run Software Update to get the latest version of iTunes installed.

I just got a new imac, App store says I downloaded garageband update and it says it's installed. But there's nothing new to it. Is there something I'm suppose to do? I restarted the imac, no difference

Weird, that's not the one I was initially downloading but I think that is the one that installed, so I think that solves that. But now the problem is that the one I was updating is no longer being shown. It's over 1gb that had all the loops and instruments.
Now when I try to use say strings lunar strings. It tells me to download at app store. It doesn't show. I go back to garageband try again and says the instrument or loop is currently being installed. But it's not.

It might be easier to download the trial version from the microsoft site and then use the code off your box set to activate it.

Hi la dama cooks,
I believe you are getting the blank Creative cloud applications.
Please refer to the threads below where the issue has been resolved:

Make sure your browser is closed and check to see if there are any processes related to Acrobat still running. If you are using Windows, Control-Alt-Delete > Processes tab. Look for AcroRd32.exe or Acrobat.exe or Acrotray.exe and stop these processes from running before you try your update again. A good ol' computer reboot might do the trick for you too.

Hello Curtis,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to downlaod Mavericks. I recommend emptying your trash and restarting your computer. Once you have done that, navigat the the Purchased tab of the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks again:
