Tiger Install Hangs @ "About 2 Minutes - Running iWeb Instaler Script"

...what now??? ..this happened last friday ..i forced it to powe down because it hung for alomst an hour @ "2 minutes left" ..today i started up the macbookpro and it asks for the 2nd install CD and starts intalling all over agin.. and now.. its hanging at the same spot.. any ideas on this? ..i was so excited to start using my new macbookpro

I have the same problem:
After an update to 10.4.8 on my MacBook Pro caused Keychain access to crash, and therefore rendered Wireless Internet, Safari, Mail, and Adress Book unusable (crashed also), I tried to re-install the original software.
Now the installer hangs since a few hours with the iWeb application Installer script, "about 2 minutes" remaining.
Any ideas how to install a working system on this computer ?

Mail.app hangs about 5 minutes after launch

mail.app has suddenly started "hanging" at about 5 minutes after its launched. It becomes unusable and I have to force quit.
I've not had a problem with the app previously.
I'm not aware that I've made any updates in recent weeks that would have effected mail.app.
The console is giving messages of the following type
...mmap(size...) failed (error code 12
* error can't allocate a region
* set a breakpoint in mallocerrorbreak to debug
This repeated 4 times.
I've done the basics to see if it would effect the problem:
Logged out and in.
repaired permissions
But to no effect.
I'd appreciate any pointers on what to do to solve the problem.
Thanks.
Using mail 3.6 running under 10.5.8

I'm having the same issue. It started in early Sept 2010. Mail now slows and the freezes and the crashes about 5 mins after I start it. It does this several times a day. I disables the 2 Mail add on I had (InDev Maill Act On and Daylite Mail Integration from MarketCircle) and it's still happening.
My logs from today are:

Trying to update iTunes, the installer keeps freezing at 'Running iTunes Installer Scripts'. i've tried several different versions of iTunes and can't install any of them. I'm stuck with Version 4!! Help!

I'm trying to update iTunes on my mac (Power Mac G5 running tiger), but it always freezes at 'Running itunes installer script'. I have tried a few different versions of iTunes, but I have the same problem with all of them. I'm stuck on version 4 (which came with my os discs)! Help?!

Ok, First this link should solve the windows scripting host error. I used "Download windows script host" in a google search and it was the first hyperlink.

I'm assuming you are trying to run the installer from apple. What I would suggest is you download the installer manually to your desktop then launch the installer. If try to run the installer over the intertubes you may run into a problem like you did.
Then I would uninstall itunes 8 and any software associated with it like the apple update software, quicktime, apple mobile device support. However uninstalling itunes should remove any additional software it installs. Then clean out your temp folder:
6. Clean out your temp folders,
a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
Then with a newly download installer on your desktop try launching it. Let me know if that helps.
Here is an apple doc that help.

I have 10.8.3 installed. I use Cisco VPN but this hangs after 57 minutes and 35 seconds. I disconnect but can't reconnect straight away but have to wait about 10 minutes then have another 57 minutes

I use a mac with 10.8.3 installed. I use Cisco VPN & citrix receiver to connect to work via my home wireless which connects & works brilliantly but then hangs after 57 minutes and about 35 seconds. I disconnect but can't reconnect straight away although it goes through the motions but doesn't find a connection. I have to wait about 10 minutes (or restart the MAC) then it connects fine again and I have another 57 minutes. I previously used 10.6 for a while without any problems and then the VPN just stopped connecting? after trying to resolve without success I upgraded the OS hoping that this might fix the issue which it has but created this other problem! I can live with it but thought there may be some way to correct this surely. I'm not heavily technically minded and have read reports about the racoon service may be causing this but not sure how you do this very simply step by step
Thank you for any ideas you can give

Clean install of 10.5 disk hangs w/9 minutes to go. Please help. Desperate.

I'm wiping my hard drive clean and re-installing 10.5, from the disk. I put the disk in, told it to do exactly that, started the run, and it told me it would take about one hour. It ran just fine until it got to "about 9 minutes" -- and it's been there for five hours now. I'm at my wit's end. I've sold this machine and promised the buyer a clean install of the OS; he's coming to pick it up tomorrow.
Please help me.

I chose "Quit Mac OS X Installer," but it won't quit. I can't just turn the computer off, because I'll never be able to get the DVD drive open again once it's off. I don't think the OS X 10.5 disk is bootable, or I'd press the power key to shut down, hold down the "C" key, and power up again.

Firefox 33.1.1 running on either Mavericks and Yosemite crashes (infinite beachball) about a minute after opening.

Firefox 33.1.1 running on either Mavericks and Yosemite crashes (infinite beachball) about a minute after opening. On both systems I had installed the XMarks and LastPass add-ons. I noticed that when I disabled those add-ons, the crashing behavior stopped. Is there a known issue with those add-ons and the 33.1 version of Firefox?

Does this also happen in Firefox beta? It is working for Yosemite for me on Beta channel.
However if the crashes continue please do post back with the last 5 crash reports.We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.

MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.5 Computer hangs after about 5 minutes

After about 5 minutes of use, the multi-colored ball shows up and the computer hangs. It keeps coming and going after the initial 5 minutes of use.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

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, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

HT1199 I have been trying to redownload itunes. The download seems stuck on the "Running Package Scripts" page. It says "about one minute" remaining for the download but, that was 2 hours ago. Anything I can do?

I have been trying to re-download itunes. This is in an effort to try to recover my new iphone 5s which after the latest update, was put into recovery mode. When I connected to itunes, I was given the message that I couldn't recover the phone. So, support suggested that I re-download itunes. The installation seems stuck on the "Running Package Scripts" page. It says it only has about a minute left to complete this process - however that was over 2 hours ago! Help! What can I do next?

Disconnect the iPhone from your Mac.
Shut down your Mac, wait about ten seconds then restart.
Then try downloading iTunes > Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
Do not reconnect the iPhone until iTunes is installed.
If that didn't help, the startup disk may need repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, start up from your Mac install disc to make repairs.

Computer Hangs at Startup after Tiger Install

Hello !
I've tried to install
Tiger on my regular Desktop Computer. Everything seemed to be going okay. It finished
loading and then told me it was going to restart. Upon restart the apple icon appeared and
then the little rotating disc below the icon. After about three minutes the Apple Icon disappeared and was
replaced with the symbol of a circle with a line through it. As it was in the same gray as the apple icon so
I wasn't sure if it was part of the restarting process or not. When the screen persisted for another ten minutes
I decided to leave the computer on over night to see what the morning would bring. The screen was still the
same in the am. I tried to restart it and the same thing happened and continues as I write this. I can't use my
computer.
Can anyone help ?

Hi Dan!
Did you use a Full Retail Version of the Tiger Install DVD, or the one for your PowerBook?

Popup to download firefox 4 timed out after install ran about a minute and now will not load or let me download FF 4 or remove FF3.6 (Message: checking for existing installation)

I got a popup balloon to update to Firefox 4. I clicked it and after running the install for about a minute, it quit and I got a message saying it had timed out. It gave me the website to go to to manually install it. I downloaded the manual install for FF 4, but when I tried to run it, the Firefox Setup Wizard said it was "checking existing installation" and then brought up a window saying Firefox must be closed to run the install. Firefox was not open. I tried to open it and it won't open. I then tried to delete it in my "Add/Remove Programs" (Windows XP Home Edition). I got the same messages: that it was checking the existing installation and that I had to close all firefox programs before I could delete it. I'm out of ideas.

So what was the solution to this problem?

Leopard Install Freezes at 'About 30 minutes' screen...

Hello,
My wife's black MacBook was having some crazy issues I have never seen before. The finder was incredibly slow, the corners of every single window you opened were black (just the tips of the corners) and it would take around 3-5 minutes to open even a folder, then an additional minute to load any items within.
We decided to copy everything she might want to keep and do a fresh install from our Leopard DVD, however every single time it gets to where it says 'Time Remaining: About 30 minutes' and just freezes (it starts by saying the install will only take 31 minutes). The disc stop spinning and it will eventually put itself to sleep.
I can use all the menus to quit the install from the menu bar but no matter what I have tried, I can't seem to get past that 30 minute mark. I tried reformatting the hard drive and literally starting from nothing but that didn't work either.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Have you run the +Apple Hardware Test?+
If it's an Intel processor: [Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509].
Or if it's a PPC, the AHT's on one of the disc(s) that came with your Mac, and is tailored to it's particular hardware. The disk should have +Apple Hardware Test+ and instructions for running it printed in very tiny type.

Downloading the 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and it seems stuck at "registering updated components". It's running but I've had "about a minute" left for 30 minutes now

Trying to download the 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and it seems stuck at "Registering updated components". It's been saying it has "about a minute" left for at least a half hour. What do I do?

Try downloading it from the Apple site. Set Safari to download to the desk top:Safari preferences>general>save downloads to desktop. Download to desktop, and run the installer:
