Unable to install new programs

I am unable to install new programs to my Mac book. The Mac's personal specifications is as follows:
Software: Mac 10.5.4
Startup disc: Macintosh HD
Memory: 1G 667 MHz DDRZ
When every I am trying in install or update my programs it gives me the following message and nothing I do can change it:
Selection a Destination:
Macintosh HD (111GB (13.8GB free) and !
Installing this software requires 85.4MG of space
You cannot install Norton Antivirus on this volume. This software must be installed on a volume containing Mac OS X version 10.4.10 or later.
HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS. Even if I go onto the internet to update my software it does not allow me to.
Your urgent assistance is desperately needed. HELP :o)

Verify the version of Norton Anti-virus you have is 10.5.4 compatible.
Make sure your hard drive is less than 85% full (an arbitrary number which appears to create problems for Mac OS X)*:

Note running Norton Anti-virus on the Mac is normally something that's only needed to prevent you from becoming Typhoid Mary, more than prevent you from getting a Mac OS X virus, as there are none in the wild. There are some proof of concept trojan horses, but that's about it.

Dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk,

dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk, what can I do?

Well I was able to obtain a work around download of Flash and it installed fine but Firefox tells me it needs updating so I go out, thinking I'm "IN" finally to update it and I get that issue of not being able to get the update for it. It's a regular laptop, not a touch screen or one of those new fangled ones for todays world. In fact it's a refurb so it's probably origin date was a year or so ago before all this MS stuff took off fully. So not understanding why I'm feeling like I'm being BLOCKED from getting the updated Flash I need and desire. If I click on the little "X" and tell it to ignore the warning the vid will play just fine but don't want to have to do that every time. Must be a better way.
Again, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum, getting this posted in the Flash forum was my desire but the way Adobe has this set up I just couldn't figure it out. I belong to ALLOT of forums and most are pretty straight forward but this one is confusing!

My Mac won't open certain files anymore so I can't install new programs.

I accidentally reset the default application used to open new programs that I try to install and now it won't open. It's set accidentally to use ScriptEditor. I'm not sure what "program" was used originally to open them, so I don't know what to reset it to. How do I fix it so I can install new programs again?

Installing new programs

Hello,
Have tried to install new programs onto Leopard, but the computer does not seem to want me to do this. When I insert and dmg. file or the CD containing the program...the computer reads it, allows me to drag to applications, or to open the VICE file for installing, but then it does nothing...absolutely nothing. I tried this with OFFICE 2004 and MAc-Link and Appleworks (which I am slowly replacing anyway, but there are some wonderful things there still for me).
Why won't the computer allow me to install these workable programs...some seem to work well on my PowerBook, but not on this desktop G5.
Go raibh maith agat

Thank you Jeffrey Jones, you just saved me $89 as I was considering buying iWork.
I don't know why I thought Appleworks wouldn't run on Leopard, perhaps because of its pre Aqua theme.
I was surprised it even ran on OS X, though of course it did come bundled with OS X.
It always looks a bit of a black sheep, more at home on OS 8 than OS X. And so, from its deceptive appearance I thought that an Intel computer would surely pass it by, but no.
Consistent with its black sheepiness, it is the sole PowerPC app, showing in Activity monitor.

Unable to Install New Applications

I just purchased a new Seagate external hard drive. When I begin the installation process the hard drive dashboard will not install to my computer. It appears taht I am having difficulty installing anything new without an error. When I try to install new programs to my iMac I get a message that says the application quit unexpectedly. What can I do to fix this problem? Thank you.

Thanks Kappy, I have a iMac 7,1 with the Mac OS X Version 10.5.8. I have not used the computer much in the last year. I followed the instructions to set up the drive but I cannot get past the initial Seagate Dashboard Installer.dmg, It begins to install but when I get to the Mac Installer and double click I get the error message "the application Dashboard quit unexpectedly". I tried to download the application straight from the Seagate website as well and the same message occurred once I came to the Mac Installer step again.

When updating to iOS 5.0.1. get the err -3259, thus unable to install new iOS. The message I receive goes: "THE NETWORK CONNECTION TIMED OUT. MAKE SURE YOUR NETWORK SETTINGS ARE CORRECT AND YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION IS ACTIVE, OR TRY AGAIN LATER."

Does anyone know how to solve this tiresome problem, please!?? The update is downloaded upto 723.5MB, and is required upto 723,6MB, then the error message pops out! Tnx.

I have a quick wifi connection (Mac shows it as about 35 megabits) but I couldn't get the 5.0.1 OTA to work, I had to do it via cable to my computer's iTunes - and as I was already on iOS 5 it was only a small download, basically the same size as the OTA size.
As the original poster is talking about a 730 meg download then I assume that they are still on iOS 4.3.5 or below and can therefore only download via their computer's iTunes - you need to be on iOS 5+ before you get the OTA option.

Unable to install new gnome icons.

For some reason I'm unable to install new icon themes in gnome. I download the tar file and extract it to the .icons folder, but when I go to the "customize theme" settings it doesn't have the new icons... This is the same way that I've installed new icons with every other distro, but for some reason it's not working here... Have I missed something?

Maybe check out AUR for some icon themes?
Umm .. Creating PKGBUILD could fix a *broken* theme ?
No, but if you use PKGBUILD you wouldn't end up with a broken package.
@OP
Can you please post a link to the icon theme you are trying to use?

You might want to rather just drag 'n' drop the tarball into the Customize Theme window and let it do all the work for you.
Some lazy people do ignore the packaging rules and provide broken icon packages, so just extracting the contents to .icons might not be enough. The real icons folder might be a sub-folder in the tar archive's root or something like that, and you need to cp that folder into .icons.
I've tried the drag 'n drop method as well, but when I drag my tarball in to the customize theme window, it doesn't stick, it just goes right back into the downloads folder.

HT2956 Unable to install new software, looping admin screen.

I am unable to install new software on my iMac, I enter in the admin password and it doesn't progress to the installation screen, it just loops back to admin password entry. Please help

Hi Kappy, this isnt the case, it accepts the password, I hit install and then the same screen pops up instead of proceeding to install the software. I even went in to check, change password and no joy

HT1926 unable to install new iTunes as it states it has an invalid signature. what is this.

unable to install new iTunes as it states it has an invalid signature. what is this.

That one suggests the installer has gotten damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Install new programs using existing MIDLet

Hi,
Can any one tell me how can I install new programs remotely using an existing MIDlet on a mobile device.
My existing MIDLet is setting on the cell phone and will accept my incomming connections and will download the new software in the memory. I now need that software to get installed on the cell phone.
How do I do that.
IIs there any defined way of installing packages.
Is there something like Runtime.execute() method.
Waiting for response
TIA
Zoha

This issue may be due to a missing symbolic link; to replace the link under 10.3 and newer, open the Disk Utility in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the Repair Permissions command.
