Unable to Install or Run Program

New Laptop / C650 Series / Win 7
Installed a couple software programs, but decided to un-install one that I did not want on anymore (Sony Recording Software), and since then, I'm unable to run/install any new programs, plug-ins, audio discs, etc. I checked all autoplay settings, and tried to run manually, with no success.
Normally, when a disc is inserted, system prompts would pop-up right away. This no longer happens, even though it should run right away per my settings. When I try to run it manually, nothing happens either.
Any idea how to resolve this? Laptop has only been in use for a few days now.
Solved!

Thanks for the responses.
Arkadia,
I created the recovery DVDs, though not familiar with how to perform. That's probably best, because I barely made any changes (iTune is the only other program presently). I'm on a different computer, and don't have the model number presently.
Jerry,
I do remember a box popping up during the un-install process saying that I would need ____ (my client, iclient ? or something like that) to be active in order to re-install that software. I didn't think much of it at the time. I couldn't open the link, but will try to track that down.

The Reset feature adds a folder on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. I recommend hanging onto that for a few weeks in case you discover something essential that the Reset feature left behind.
This article has a list of what is migrated and what is not during a Reset, in case you're curious: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].

Installing Orchestrator Run Program Service requires administrative privileges on the target computer.

We have a simple runbook that runs an .exe program local on a remote server.
When I run the runbook within the Runbook Designer and the Runbook Tester it runs succesfully.
When I run the runbook within the Orchestration Console (http://server4:82) I get the error message "Access is denied. Installing Orchestrator Run Program Service requires administrative privileges on the target computer."
Orchestrator hierarchy:
server1 Management Server
server2 Runbook Designer
server3 Runbook Server
server4 Web Server

Already solved it!
Even after making the Service Account a Domain Admin it didn't work after restarting the two services on server1. But I forgot the service on server3! Apparently when you use the Web Server it runs the runbook through the Runbook Server and when you
use Runbook Designer it runs locally within the Runbook Tester?

Installer freezes: unable to install any new programs

My Powerbook G4 is 3 years old, runs OS X 10.3, I've never had any major issues.
Now, something new my way, something I have no idea how to resolve: the installer is broken. When I try to install any new program and launch "installer", the computer freezes and eventually I have to do a hard restart. Doesn't matter if the installer file is on a CD or on my desktop. Doesn't matter what kind of file it is - from what I've tried so far, it freezes every time, no matter the program I'm trying to install.
I ran Disk Utility and made sure permissions were okay - didn't help.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem? Is there anything else I can try?
Thank you SO much in advance.

Terence,
Thanks for getting back in touch so quickly.
Yes, it was DivX I was trying to install this evening, however I can't remember which app I originally had problems with, but I had assumed it was the installer packages themselves as they were for printer drivers, wireless mouse driver, etc. Since I have now encountered this with the Apple security updates and a more major package in DivX, it seems either Installer or OS permissions somewhere.
I tried trashing Installer, downloading Pacifist and re-installing the package from the Max OS X Install Disc, however the problem persists. I first tried the Apple security updates knowing this would be a valid package if nothing else, and it still fails. Here is the log from trying the security updates:
"Aug 6 23:21:36 iain-foulds-computer : BomFileError 13: Permission denied - ///System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Bom.framework/Bom
Aug 6 23:21:36 iain-foulds-computer : Install failed: Some files for SecUpd2006-004Intel may not have been written correctly."

Some .dmg files don't install, but run program directly.

I am a pc user switching to mac...
Most programs install as you would expect, that is to put an application in the applications folder.
Some, however, do not.
Picassa for mac from google (http://picasa.google.com/mac/) downloads picasamac.dmg, but it does not install. You click on the icon, and it runs picasa. I have manually copied the .dmg file to the applications folder from download folder. You click on it, it mounts, and you have an icon for the program.
Is this correct? Is it a cheap and dirty alternative installation process?
Thanks
bob

Some applications do not require installing in the traditional sense. All you do is open the .dmg file and drag the application to the Applications folder.

Unable to Install and run iTunes

After downloading and installing iTunes from Apple.com, it does not work. The error message shows unable to read memory at some address. I had used the repair option when I tried to re install it also. Still the problem lies. How do I resolve the problem? If anyone can resolve this kindly send me a mail at [email protected]

+The error message shows unable to read memory at some address.+
Checking on something before proceeding. What are the numbers being cited there for the address?
Can you also check to see if your QuickTime is working? (iTunes needs a functioning QuickTime in order to work correctly, and sometimes a broken QuickTime can produce error messages similar to what you are reporting when trying to launch iTunes.)

Unable to load and run program in DDR from SDK

Hello all,
I'm starting to work with Zynq and I'm quite a noob in this field.
I generated a system for a ZC702 board in which the connections to the DDR memory and the GPIO are correct.
When I try to run a "Hello world" example that writes such words via serial, I'm facing the problem that I can just run it from the internal ram on the Zynq, not from the DDR. I will try to explain this with more detail.
When I set the on-chip memory (initial address is 0x00000000) on the linker script and I run the program, the XMD console shows this:
XMD% Processor started. Type "stop" to stop processor
User Interrupt, Processor Stopped at 0x00101104

As you can see, al the addresses are correct. In this moment, the processor executes the program and everything is fine.
Then, if I select the DDR memory (initial address: 0x00100000) on the linker script generation, the console shows:
XMD% Processor started. Type "stop" to stop processor

But the program is not run and the processor is like "blocked".
There is just one scenario in which this second configuration works, and it's when the on-chip memories were previously loaded with the first configuration. This could indicate that the program counter is not pointing to the DDR, but to the on-chip memory. Then, when I select the DDR, if there is nothing on the memories of the chip, it does not execute anything.
Does anyone have any idea of what's exactly happening and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Ignacio.

Hello Ignacio,
Are you able to step through at all with the debugger to see if it gets stuck somewhere in particular?
As a test of DDR setup itself, what happens if you link to OCM but do some pointer access directly to DDR (maybe write 0xdeadbeef to 0x10000000, readback 0x10000000, then print it)? Does it work okay?

Unable to install/update programs

Some time in the last couple of weeks I noticed that I am unable to install or update programs. Each time this is attempted I get an error message indicating that I do not have sufficient permissions.
My user account is an admin account and appears to have the correct permissions. I have adequate disk space, etc. I am running Tiger 10.4.11. I am not really experiencing any other issues although performance may be a little low with some disk trashing (not totally sure though)
Any ideas?

Hi esbrooks, and a warm welcome to the forums!
How much free space is on your Hard Drive?
How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
OmniDiskSweeper is now free, and likely the best/easiest...
http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, 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. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then 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 finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Unable to install downloaded programs

I am unable to install any downloaded programs. dmg file expands to disk image but when I click to open, the icon bounces once in the dock and then disappears. I am using 10.4.6 on a 1.8GHz G5. I just got this machine to replace a G4- used but with an apparently clean install of the OS. I have lots of drive space available and 2 GB of SDRAM.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
What do you mean by "clean install"? As you see that term confuses the issue with the link below:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607614
The G5 you got, did you get with the original system disks?
Is your data backed up?

Problem with permissions, running programs and installing programs.

I've been having trouble installing and running programs. Whenever I try to install a new program I have to make sure to right-click and select "Run as Administrator", which is something that didn't happen before. And while running programs, sometimes
they don't work well (i.e. dropbox alerts me that it cannot run because of permission issues; calibre needs to run with Administrator level, otherwise it won't open my ebooks; the list goes on).
I tried using the elevated command prompt and typin secedit
/configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose to reset the permission settings, and it does not work (it tells me that some ignorable warnings occured).
There's only one account in this machine and it has administrator level.
Any thoughts?

1. First of all, it is a bad habit to work with administrator account only. Use standard user account where programs allows for it.
2. For third party programs contact respective support/forums. Some programs are not written in right way and may need admin account. I would avoid such programs.
3. Elevated rights (Run as Administrator) is natural enhancement that comes with Windows version 6.x
4. If you want to play risky role, disable UAC (not recommended). Step-by-step is here:

Unable to install CC desktop

Initially I installed the update yesterday and it completely messed up my computer, permissions, skydrive etc... I was only able to save to CC not my skydrive, so I completely uninstalled and stared over and now I can't install CC at all and I am unable to install any new programs without it.
running win8.1

What is your operating system?
What exactly means "unable"?

I purchased an updated version of Family Tree Maker and had it downloaded. Now I am unable to install the update. What do I do?

I am unable to install a dowloaded program. What do I do?

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
