"There were errors installing the software. Please try again"

I have decided to sell my iMac and G4 iBook, in order to buy a Macbook Pro. I have two people interested, but only if both computers are formatted and as they were when they left the factory.
I erased all my files from both computers, leaving just the system files. I placed the instalation disk for OS X into my iMac (The disk that came with it) and selected instal. I chose the option to delete the current settings and instal a fresh version of OS X.
I hope that makes sense so far.
Anyway after a while, disk 1 had finished, and I was told to insert disk 2. I inserted disk 2, only for half way through the instal process, to be greeted by "There were errors installing the software. Please try again". I have now tried 14 times. I have officially given up.
I have searched these forums for an answer, but it seems as though other people have done things such as, installing other software, or hardware, and that is the cause of the problem. However I have done none of the above. I have tried searching the Mac Support pages, with no luck.
Can anyone help?

I suggest you do the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
Now try installing OS X. If you still have a problem then it's possible the hard drive is bad or the installer discs are damaged (or possibly just dirty and need a gentle cleaning) or there's a problem with the optical drive.

'There were errors installing the software. Please try installing again.'

Can anyone provide a solution for a sudden problem I've encountered. It began when trying to install Backup 3.1 and has now been repeated with OS X 10.4.5.
When trying through Software Update I'm told The update [packagename] can't be installed. Sorry, an unexpected error occurred. The Installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder.
When I try opening the Installer packages from the Finder the Installer reaches the stage of 'preparing target volume' and then displays this error: There were errors installing the software. Please try installing again.
Installer's Error Log says: Install failed: The following install step failed: run preflight script for [packagename].
Console.log contains this:2006-02-15 21:07:27.431 Software Update[331] session:product:061-2046 didFailWithError:NSError "Error SUSessionErrorDomain 6" Domain=SUSessionErrorDomain Code=6 UserInfo={errorCode = -2; }
Unsuccessful steps I've taken to resolve this issue have been: (1) I trashed com.apple.installer.plist, (2) I repaired disk persmissions; (3) I repaired the disk (when I did so, Disk Utility reported that no repairs were necessary); (4) I restarted in Safe Mode; and (5) I tried installing using a different User account.
Anyone?

Since first posting, I learned of further updates being available in Software Update (all the iLife '06 suite, basically). Horrified, I suspected that my Installer problem would rear its ugly head again with these, and sure enough that's precisely what happened. As a test, I unchecked all but one of the new items in Software Update and tried installing that. The exact same problem reoccurred.
Fortunately I also have an iBook G4 on which I had earlier run a successful upgrade to OS X 10.4.5. I ran Software Update on that machine, installed everything successfully, and then used Target Disk mode between iBook and iMac to first install 10.4.5 on the iMac and then to copy over the new versions of Backup, iDVD, iMovie, iPhoto, iTunes and iWeb. So my iMac is now up to date, but only by intervention of another machine. My original question remains: what could be causing the problem with Installer?
Thanks Jpfresno for your response. The only part of it which I had not tried was disconnecting my external Firewire HD before running Installer.

There were errors installing the software

Mac Mini G4 1.25GHz / 512MB / 40GB / Combo / Modem.

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.

Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store. I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are. My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade. Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution. Here are the steps to take:
1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left. If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase. You know what to do.
3. There is also an option to reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy. Select "Remove All Website Data." Just do it.
5. Launch the app store and sign in.
6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
I hope this helps. Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

The message is: Could not sign in to Imessage. The server encounter an error processing registration. Please try again.
An I try again and again!
Is someone has any clue?
Thanks in advance!
JuliA

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Sign out of iMessage on all your Apple devices. Log out and log back in. Try again to sign in.
Step 3
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 4
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 5
Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 6
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
Step 7
Select from the menu bar
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane.
Step 8
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" in the name. Log out and log back in.
Step 9
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 10
Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, 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 Wi-Fi on certain models. 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. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 11
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 12
Reinstall OS X.
Step 13
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.
