Upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5 failing

I'm getting the message that "OSX cannot be installed on this computer".
Very odd, it's Mac Pro software and all...
Thanks

what kind of leopard install DVD are you using? this message is typical when you try to use install disks that came with one computer to install leopard on a different computer. that won't work as those disks are hardware specific. you have to use a retail version of leopard DVD.

Upgrade from SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 to R2 Fails - Unsupported Upgrade Path

Hi everybody,
I'm currently upgrading our SCCM infrastructure to SCCM 2012 R2 after have finished with the upgrade from SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1 CU4, thus far everything works fine, but when I try to update any
of the site servers, whether CAS or Primary, I'm getting the following error message in the Prerequisites Check:
I've gone through the system requirements and prerequisites over and over again and I can assure you that every possible update, supported OS, feature set, SQL Server, check list, etc,
etc, have been followed as per the official documentation available, however I'm stuck in this point, and surely enough I haven't been able to find out a similar case.Additionally I'm adding
the ConfigMgrPrereq log (the relevant portion of it) in case someone could kindly take a look at it.

-2014 02:07:00> INFO: Detected current installed build version [7711] for sitecode [BRA]. For Upgrade, minimum supported installed build version is [7804].
I confirm that this one site is a secondary one that's attached to a primary site and this log is from the CAS server, I managed to tall it and delete it from that site, but still appears listed
on the CAS management console, any idea how to force the removal of a secondary site that's attached to a primary from the CAS site when it has been removed already from said primary?
I've already tried the
Preinst /DELSITE XXX command but it only works when the site to remove it's attached to the local site and certainly not from a CAS
Finally, the version, build number and everything is correct, no idea what could be the problem, does anybody know a way to bypass this or force the re-evaluation of this rules, I've got
the impression that it's being cached somehow.
Any help would be highly appreciated,
Thank you.
Marcelo Estrada MCP-MCTS-MCITP-MCSA-MCSE

Hello again everybody,
I've finally managed to fix this up, in the end I had to delete those entries manually from the database as Garry suggested. After this was done the upgrade has gone through as expected with no further ado and has finalized already, now moving on to the
primary sites.
If anybody out there is facing the same issue, what I did was to delete those "stubborn" records executing the following statements over the CAS database:
DELETE
FROMServerDataWHERESiteCode='XXX'
DELETE
FROMSC_SiteDefinitionWHERESiteCode='XXX'
And this is pretty much about it. I'd recommend to take a proper backup first though as best practice.
Thank you all anyways for your answers and comments,

Upgrade from 3.0 to 3.0.1 fails

Not sure if is should be concerned but i upgraded to 3.0 then got the email to upgrade to 3.0.1. I followed the instructions unplugging and such that are on apple website. I can download the upgrade. At the end of the download 100% the apple logo flashes (not restart) and goes back to normal. I then check out the ver and it is still 3.0. If i force it to reboot after the download it is still 3.0. I have done this about 10 times with the same result. Mind you I have no problems, yet, with the 3.0 so maybe i should be happy that it won't upgrade.

Sounds very similar to my issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2226287&tstart=60
I still can't get it to upgrade from 2.4 to 3.0.

ABAP/J2EE upgrade from 7.0 to EHP1...failed at START_J2EE_EP

Hi experts,
I'm currently running a dual stack upgrade from 7.0 to EHP1 SR1 on a 32bit windows system. I'm using SAPup and Jup and I'm currently stuck on the Java step START_J2EE_EP the main clue I get from the logs is "Can't open shared memory administration (rc = 3)"......there's also another similar message with a different return code - " Can't open shared memory administration (rc = -107)"....
I can't seem to find anything that has resolved the problem.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
JB

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the info.
I basically changed the phase list xml file so that I could skip over this step as well as others that depended on waiting for the events from the parallel ABAP upgrade.
So I was able to finish the uprade successfully. But I tried to update the java stack with the latest support pack stack and it failed part way through. Now my server0 won't start......I'll be posting the problem shortly in a new thread.
Thanks again!
JB

Upgrade From Win 8.1 to Win 10 failed

Hi I've tried numerous times to upgrade from Windows 8.1 x64 to Windows 10.I've used the HP Support tool to confirm that I have applied all the latest drivers and BIOS updates. I receive the below error message before being returned back to Windows 8.1.... 0xC1900101 - 0x20017
The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation I've read that the issue could be related to my dual band wifi card, so I removed the card and retried, but still got the same issue. Can anyone assist? thanksKev.

You should have a look at this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/errors-when-trying-to-update-to-build-10074-from/2fa7fc91-5863-4ddf-a0cd-183f2d38bcbd

IPhone 4s: upgrade from ios 5.1 to ios 6 failed and phone stuck in recovery mode

I am on a Macbook OS 10.7.5. iTuens 10.7.
This afternoon I plugged in my iPhone 4S and started the upgrade process from iOS 5.1 to iOS 6.
The update process failed at some point and now I am stuck with only the "Restore" option in iTunes.
The frightening thing is that I am not sure if my data is backed up (most importantly my photos).
I had not done a backup in a while, but when I go to Library/Application Support/MobileSync/ and look at the backup folders, there is a backup in there from today around the same time I started the update, and the size is close to 9GB.
Is this my iPhone's backup before the update was processed? Does iTunes / Apple backup before the upgrade process automatically? Am I safe to restore from here or do I risk losing my data? Anything else I can do try?
I'm in the process of upgrading to the latest iPhoto so I can at least get some of the photos that were backed up in there before it maxed out.
Very very frustrating experience ... remember to back up before you upgrade, especially if you're over a wireless network!

if pictures are your main concern, but you have icloud activated on your phone and computer, then they should be backed up on your computer. If the only option you have is to "restore", then go ahead and do it and you should hopefully get the option to restore that backup that you spoke about, after itunes installs ios6 to your iphone.

Upgrade from CS3 Extended to CS4 (non-Extended) fails

Hello everyone,
I looked at the upgrade method from CS3 Extended to CS4 it tells me I need to contact Adobe via phone and purchase the upgrade. After receiving the upgrade, I attempt to install it and it informs me that it cannot find a valid Photoshop install and asks for version and serial number of my previous version. It only give me the options of Photoshop CS, Photoshop CS2 (all the languages), and finally Photoshop CS3. No option for CS3 Extended. So I give it CS3 and plug in the serial number and it says invalid serial number.
Called Technical support and spent 30 minutes waiting. They had me do 'Ctrl+Shift+Double mouse click" to get a "Challenge Number" which does not work. Then they said I had to call Customer support to get this Challenge number. Called Customer Support and spent 1hr waiting...and still waiting.
So, can anyone help on how I can upgrade? I'm guessing they were suppose to give me a serial number to upgrade.
I finally gave up with the phone support and filed a support case online...which said I should get a reply within 3-days.
Very disappointed with Support. After paying over $1k in products, I would expect good customer support...but that's for another forum
Thanks.

Well, after getting so fed up, I finally figured it out. But first I have to tell my story of frustration.
So, after calling Technical Support, their instructions to get the 'Challenge Number' by pressing Ctrl+Shift and double-clicking on one of the INSTALL screens did not work. So, after a total of 44 minutes (most of it on hold), I was told to call Customer Service at 800-833-6687. I called them and spent 55 minutes on hold. When someone finally answered, I told them the story, and they told me to do the exact same thing, press Ctrl+Shift and double-click to get a Challenge Number. I said, "Technical Support told me to call you guys to get my Challenge Number". They said "we are Technical Support. Please contact Customer Service at 800-833-6687 to get your Challenge Number". I WAS ANGRY!
I than asked to speak to a manager. 10 minutes later, the guy came on and said that his manager was busy on another line! He then promissed me that I should be able to get to "Customer Support" quickly this time. After being very direct, stating that I do not want to spend another hour on hold, I asked him that there must be something else that they can do to fix this problem...nope.
So (sorry if you've read this far), I called the number AGAIN and was on hold for 40 minutes...then it turned 5:00PM Pacific Time! ARG!
SO, THE ANSWER to the problem on getting a Challenge Number. You must install the software on a trial basis FIRST. (not during installation as Tech support tried to have me do.) After installation, start CS4 for the first time, and it will come to Software Setup and ask if you wish to continue using it on a trial-basis, or if you have a serial number for the product. Put in the serial number for CS4 and click Next. The next window labled 'Upgrade Check' is where you press Ctrl+Shift and double-click to the the "Challenge Code". Why Technical Support did not know to do this really bothers me.
Well, tomorrow, I will be contacting Technical Support at 6am to get this working.
And if it was a matter of pressing Ctrl+Shift and double-clicking, why was I required to purchase the software to be shipped? I could have saved on shipping and tax if I just downloaded it the way I wanted to in the first place.
Well, thanks for reading. Hopes this helps someone.

Trying to Upgrade from Patch 121118-13 to 121118-17, fails

Due to problems with Update manager not having valid certification :-
# smpatch analyze
Failure: Cannot connect to retrieve current.zip: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and

I managed to figure out this was a permissions issue and have successfully upgraded to 21118-17, but I still cannot get smpatch to connect to the update server without getting the following message:-

Upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6 fails

Hello.
I've been attempting to upgrade my Macbook from 10.5.8 to 10.6 via the Snow Leopard DVD. Each time, the upgrade runs for 15 minutes or so, then ends with an error and no change to the OS. I've verified the disk and repaired the permissions, but this hasn't changed the outcome. I used the same media to successfully install 10.6 on a new partition I created on the original hard drive. I'd like to simply upgrade the 10.5.8 disk to avoid migrating a large iPhoto database and other documents (they're locked away in FileVault and I don't have space to turn it off in order to access the disk directly from 10.6).
If I've made incorrect assumptions, could someone point that out? Otherwise, where can I start looking to resolve the problem?
Thank you,
mstump

Upgrade from CS3 Student Version to CS4 Standard failed!

Problem:
Got a new MacBook Pro 10.9.5 and had to install all my CS software new.
(NOW: I can't open any of my old CS5.5 files, because only CS3 is working at the moment)
I'm having:
CS5.5 master collection upgrade (not working. it says: need an CS4 upgrate!)
CS3 Design Standard Student Version (is working)
I recently bought:
CS4 Standard upgrate (to get back to my own CS5.5 master collection upgrade)
But now CS4 Standard ask for my CS3 Design Student Version serial number and it is not working, but the serial number is correct!
I need to choose an Adobe CS3 product, but there is no CS3 Standard Student Version. If I choose CS3 Design Standard my serial number isn't working.
Can anyone help me?

I didnt even know contribute went to 4.4 I thought 4.1 or 4.11 was the last version in the 4 series.

2) Does Microsoft have someone that can look at the log files to say what is going wrong? If so, where are the log files?

5. Try the "Anytime Upgrade" process again
To start the upgrade process:

4. Click the 'Services' tab, click to select the 'Hide All Microsoft Services check box', and then click Disable All.
5. Click 'OK'.
6. When you are prompted, click 'Restart'.
7. After the computer restarts, check whether the problem is resolved.
Method #3
If your key is invalid and you need to change the keys you may have to open regedit and deleting the ProductKey value in the following registry key first:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsAnytimeUpgrade
---------------- Anytime Upgrade may not work for all version of Windows ---------------------
Note: Retail "Full" or "Upgrade" product keys will work when using the Anytime Upgrade feature.
The Anytime Upgrade "May" not work (check with the computer manufacture's support team) for users who have OEM and or System Builders product Keys, this also applies to VL (Volume License), MSDN-Academic Alliance (MSDNAA)/ DreamSpark or Academic
product Keys which will not work / support the Anytime Upgrade option. KMS users should consult with your administrator prior to attempting to perform an Anytime Upgrade.

Upgrading from 35 to 36 caused secure connection failed errors

We have a couple of different applications that our customers suddenly are having issues with on a pair of load balanced web servers after they upgrade to version 36 of Firefox. It worked fine in 35 and still works in Chrome and IE. The error only happens on certain pages within the sites. The exact error is this:
Secure Connection Failed
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
The exact same apps work fine on other servers with version 36, so I’m guessing it is some kind of a certificate/cipher issue with the server or load balancer. I have searched for this message and see others have similar issues when attempting to upload files but the pages failing don't have any file uploads on them.
Any suggestions on what to look at?

After spending some more time browsing around on the forums, I stumbled on this thread:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1050465
We changed the max parse length parameter to 65535 in our Cisco ACE20-MOD-K9 load balancer and this solved the issue:
parameter-map type http HTTP-PARAM-MAP
set header-maxparse-length 65535

Is it really possible to upgrade from a Treo 650 to a Treo 750?

I am not a very happy customer at the moment, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I upgraded from my old Palm Tungsten to a Zire, then to a Cingular Treo 650, combining three devices into one. I have since discovered that the Treo 650 seems to have a faulty transmission mode, as I can rarely be clearly understood by whomever I call. Am on the second (or third, I have lost track) and continue to have the same problem. I get five bars of reception but can't be understood on the other end. A bit of a problem when one is trying to call 911. Am constantly told I am "breaking up". The repair shop says it "Can't duplicate the problem". OK, then I do not want to give up all the info I have stored in the fool thing, and the 750 seems to have a different system, so I thought I would try that. All the stuff I could find seemed to indicate it wouldn't be a problem to upgrade. When the 750 arrived, I tried to install the software from the CD on my Windows XP computer. No dice. Setup encounters an error and closes. Can't even look at the files, because setup tries to run any time I access the CD. From any drive. Gave it to my girlfiend to check on her computer, and the CD seemed to run fine. Other CDs work just fine on my computer. Must be some kind of conflict, but what? Tried calling the AT&T number that suggested they could help with setup, and was first connected to the business center, they routed me to the laptop center, who routed me to the network center, who said they would have to bring in the Palm customer service and connected me to a Mac guy that dumped me back to a menu that took me to someone for whom English is a second language with whom I was trying to communicate over a very poor satellite connection. They made no sense anyway. telling me first that I couldn't have two desktops running (wrong, my girlfriend has my old Zire and the CD worked fine) and then insisting that the serial number on my device had to start with a P, when it clearly does not have any alpha characters in it. Gave up on that route of assistance. Managed to get the new ActiveSync installed from my girlfriends computer over the network. Great. Now let's get my 650 synced with Outlook (which I have not used at home) and see if we can move on. Nope. First I have to update Outlook 2000 from the old Win98 to my current XP. Find the old CD, and square that away. OK, now sync to Outlook. Nope. The sync program gives an error, saying it will only sync with Outlook 98, 2000, and XP(2002). Good grief. I have Outlook 2000, and the software apparently does not recognize it. If the Palm doesn't work, there is no reason for me to keep this phone, and I am very close to returning it and abandoning the Palm entirely when I upgrade to something that works, although I dread re-entering all that information.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thanks for the feedback. Today I installed an Enterprise version of Office 2007 I purchased a while back, but had not yet installed. Microsoft presented a few challenges, but they were quickly resolved. I then downloaded the appropriate conduit from Palm, and synced the 650 with the handheld overwriting the computer. Then used Active Destop to sync the 750. Satisfied I had moved as much info as possible, I called AT&T and had them move the phone number to the new Treo.
Bonus! When the guy at AT&T called me on the new phone to verify it, he said it sounded better than my landline.
Sorry for the streaming paragraph. When it is late I tend to write like I think.
