Trying to install iWorks 08 but getting a Code 999 error message.

suggestions about how to proceed?

StJerome,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The one time I heard of someone getting that error message, it was due to a corrupt installer. You might want to try downloading the trial version again, and seeing if that installs.
Having said that, I notice you're running Panther. iWork '08 wants OS X 10.4.10 or above. It doesn't look like you meet the minimum system requirements, which would certainly produce an installation error.

Last time i bought iwork retail v9.0.3, then i tried to install it but it kept showing the error message. After i updated my mac, the iwork asked for a serial number and until today i can't use any of the iwork application. How can i solve this problem?

Hoping for a solution since i need to have this iwork to 'work'.. Too many assignments need to be done and i am sick of going to the library to use the desktop there. Thank you =)

I think you have two separate issues & I'll try to answer in the order you need to address them.
First, it seems you have/had the trial of iWork '09 installed. It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This has changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Next, you need to update iWork '09 to 9.0.5. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

Getting same error message - 1st time ever having a problem witn iTunes. Tried to re-install iTunes but that just got another error message. Does this mean I have lost everything.

I have been using iTunes for years on my PC, using Windows 7. I tried re-installing iTunes but get an error message that says, "iTunes can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

After using iTunes for years I suddenly am prevented from opening it. I get the following message: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
Upon trying to reinstate I am thwarted with this: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 126)
Can anyone help? Thanks.

Trying to install Presenter but getting no where with a "fatal error" message on chrome, firefox and safari.

Tried disabling firewalls, plugins, allowed java script... oy! any ideas?

Hi Jorma,
Thanks for your help I initially tried to down load Captivate, but was having difficulty, it wasn't downloading, I looked at the specifications on the adobe site and realized I don't have a DVD-ROM drive. I thought maybe that was my issue.
Upon further research I realized that the Adobe product Presenter could also work for my project and didn't have the DVD ROM requirement so I tried downloading that from the website.
I began using Safari, when I clicked the "trial button", it took me to the download page, where I logged in with my Adobe login and hit download. Immediately an Adobe dialog box opened up - and it looked like it began processing the download, however within 5-7 seconds the fatal error appeared. I tried several more times with the same result.
I googled the error message and was directed to the Adobe forum page, which was under construction but gave the advise to try the Adobe Twitter page.
Upon doing so, the agent who responded recomeended I try downloading from a different browser. So, I did, I tried with Firefox and with Chrome, Both resulted in the same "fatal error" dialog box.
The agent recommended that i turn off firewalls, plugins, blocks etc... which, I tried... not sure if I did it right, but even so, got the same results and have been unable to download the trial. Im not really that technically inclined to instinctively know what to turn off or on.... But I sure can follow directions so, if you have an idea of how I could solve my issues that would be amazing! I was just going to log on to the Apple store to see if I could get an appointment with a genius to try to help me... but would love to save a trip out in the sub temperatures and use up my day!!!!
. I am using a Macbook Pro Retina, 15 inch (early 2013) with a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 of Memory, and Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
Thanks again so much for your time!!!!

My itunes opens and freezes. I tried repeatedly to uninstall it so I could re-install it but it just gives me error messages. Please help!

My Itunes opens then just freezes. I have tried repeatedly and numerous ways to uninstall it so I could re-install it, but I just get error messages. If you have had this problem and resolved it please help!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
It would help us help you if you provided the exact text of any error messages.

Trying to save file, but get one of two errors 50% of the time

Here's a breakdown of my issue.
I'm a 3d artist working on some texture files for my models. I'm constantly saving the file to make quick changes and fixes, doing so quite rapidly. So much so I now have actions recorded to cut down on having to go to the directory to save over the older file. Now for the issue. I'll try saving over the file, but then I'll either be giving an error message saying "Could not save a copy as ________ because the file name was not valid" or "Could not save a copy as _________ because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the Properties command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file".
This is my personal pc so I do have the permissions enabled. If I open up the directory where the file is saved after I get these errors the file is then gone. These errors go away if I wait about 6 seconds in between getting the error to save then it has a better chance of working. That's not all of the time though. Sometimes I have to go in and just save manually, which is a real pain when I have actions recorded. It's almost like the relay between Photoshop and my directory isn't fast enough or something's just internally wrong. I've been dealing with this for a year. 11 months and 29 days too long. Help please!!!

"Product you are trying to install is not genuine" - Adobe Application Manager error message.

Trying to launch the AAM and getting the error message that says "Adobe Genuine Software Validation Failure. The product you are trying to install is not an Adobe Genuine Software and appears to be counterfeit".
I've been subscribed to the creative cloud for four months, never had any trouble before, I'm not trying to download anything and nothing on this computer is counterfeit.
Any help?

Hello,
This behavior is due to a known issue (details at http://blogs.adobe.com/psirt/2012/09/security-advisory-adobe-to-revoke-code-signing-certif icate-apsa12-01-2.html). Fortunately, the solution is simple.
You need to download the latest version of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773. After you install it, the error will go away.

Amit

Trying to install Windows XP on Parallels...Error message! Help!

I have a macbook pro and I am trying to install Windows XP via Parallels on it. The installation seemed to be working until I got an error message that said "The file ASMS can't be found. Insert your HP cd into the drive." and then it said something about typing in the location address manually... Please help! I checked and the ASMS file IS on the cd but Parallels doesn't seem to be recognizing it...

I am also trying to install XP Pro, both with Boot Camp and Parallels, and meeting the missing asms file problem although I don't receive a missing HP card msg as I am using an original MS Win Pro installation disc. Instead I get a System Setup error log entry: ' I/O device error. Installation failed asms. D:\I386\asms. Component needed by Windows could not be installed.'
Apple Tech Help suggested I probably had a faulty disc but online searches show this problem has existed for some years and affected both Mac and PC users. The latter seem to be able to solve the problem by tinkering with the Registry - but what about us Mac types? Any help would be much appreciated.

I tried uninstalling firefox then re-installing it but i cant. The error message file not specified keeps poping up everytime it reaches 100%. How do i fix it?

I really want my firefox back. But everytime i try to download the newest and oldest firefox installer and run it, it reaches 100% then an error pop up 7-zip appears and says "the system cannot find the file specified." I tried to run it as administrator and putting it on desktop but it didn't help.
Please someone tell me what to do to install my firefox again.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
