Virtual PC won't install on 10.4.6

I have Virtual PC version 7 and it is impossible to install on my Mac. I am running 10.4.6. The installation seems to work initially, but requires a reboot, and then it is a hopeless situation. When I restart to finish the installation I get a slew of dialog boxes, but the clincher is this one: it tells me to log in as the administrator. I'm already logged in as the administrator! The ONLY option on this dialog box is to "QUIT", so I can never finish the install. I already tried safe boot, and the situation is exactly the same. (Even using Safe Boot on the restart is exactly the same.) I've posted this in other forums as well, and no one has any useful advice.

Hi, Carla.
1. You wrote: " I've posted this in other forums as well, and no one has any useful advice."Have you tried searching or posting on the "Virtual PC for Mac" group you can find on the Microsoft Mac Support - Newsgroups page. These are Google Groups with active participation from VPC users, including a variety of expert users.
I don't mean to send you somewhere else, but I've found numerous answers there for folks with questions related to MS products. Accordingly, it has often proved to be the first, best place to look for answers to questions such as you are asking.
2. See also the MacWindows Virtual PC 7 Report to see if any similar problems are reported therein.
Good luck!

Virtual PC won't install

I am trying to install VPC 7.0 and get an error message that says Sorry This Version of Virtual PC will not run within the blue box. The installer opens in Classic. What is causing this? I have an older version 2.0 that I tried to install with the same error message.

VPC 2.0 must be older than I am. Connectix, the company that created Virtual PC, was acquired by Microsoft in 2003 and then ceased operation.VPC 2.0 must have been created for Windows 95-or 3.x and should definitely-if able to-run under Classic.Unfortunately, as Connectix closed, support and fact-finding died with it.Honestly I don't know where one might find information about it.
You may try to run Spotlight, find any file including the terms "VirtualPC" or relevant, trash it and then Repair Permissions.Finally try to reinstall.
Good luck!

After the 6.1 update on iphone 5 the camera virtual shutter won't open

After the 6.1 update on iphone 5 the camera virtual shutter won't open so I cannot use the camera at all.
I have tried most things suggested in the web like hard/soft shut down, reopen app, restore from backup. Any other suggestions? It should be a software problem right?

The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
Standard troubleshooting is:
Re-boot the phone
Restore the phone from your backup
Restore the phone as a new device.
One of the 3 should fix the problem.

Adobe flash 11.6.602.180 won't install

This version of Adobe flash: 11.6.602.180
from here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.edu.html
Won't install (at least on Windows 7), unlike all previous revisions.
What can be done?
I get this error:
Error 1722: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup
did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action NewCustomAction1.
location: ....\AppData\Local\Temp\InstallPlugin_11_6_602_180exe.
command: -install -msi
[This latter command, is something it must generate internally. I install the msi download like so:
msiexec /i <Pathtodownloads>/install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi /quiet /passive /qb /norestart /l+* %systemdrive%\log\flash.log
There doesn't seem to be a way to contact Adobe itself about this product problem.
Since these updates are usually security fixes, it seems like a bad thing to roll back.]
The logfile looks like this:

Could you also post your flashinstall.log file?

FFMPEG won't install

Hi folks.
Just grabbed the May 2 snapshot of ffmpeg, and she won't install.
*make(6189) malloc: * vm_allocate(size=4272951296) failed (error code=3)*
*make(6189) malloc: * error: can't allocate region*
*make(6189) malloc: * set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug*
*make: * virtual memory exhausted. Stop.*
Thing is, my startup/scratch dirve has 167 GB free.
Anyway, I want to go back and get previous versions, but they don't have any previous versions posted, from what I gather. I don't use any of the Linux type of YUMs, so perhaps that's an option? Anybody have any notes on how to do that?
Thanks

No, the product you're troubleshooting is ffmpeg, and since you're apparently trying to compile the product from the source code, you really need to be addressing it on their web site. In any case, the iPhone forum isn't really the place for this question since it's not an iPhone issue per se. The Mac OS X forums would be a better place if for some reason you feel that you need to post in the Discussions.
But why are you bothering trying to build ffmpeg from the source code? Why not just use MPEG StreamClip which already contains all the necessary components? Or one of the many other pre-built video conversion utilities, many of which (as is StreamClip) free?

Boot Camp - Windows won't install

Hi,
I'm running OS X 10.10.2 on my iMac 7.1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM). On completion of Boot Camp partition Windows 7 DVD won't install - I get a black screen prompting me to select boot mode. However, keyboard and mouse are disconnected at this stage leaving me powerless to do anything. There's nothing wrong with the Windows 7 DVD, I might add - installs perfectly when running Parallels Desktop 10/Parallels virtual machine. Can anyone tell me, how to resolve this annoying issue?

Hi CellarDwellr,
Thanks for your answer.
Although my install DVD does indeed bear the "OEM" mark, I don't think the "OEM" is the root of the problem, as the DVD installed perfectly on my iMac by means of Parallels Desktop 10. Furthermore, I made a perfect and smooth installation of Windows Vista (OEM DVD) on my iMac some years ago by means of Boot Camp (running Snow Leopard at that time).
Hence, I'm inclined to suspect this to be an OS X issue rather than anything else.
Finally, I did comply with the Boot Camp manual on both occasions.

You can't just compare your windows 7 oem to your old windows vista oem. There are many - probably hundreds - of oem versions out there. You probably have a limited notion of what "oem" stands for. An OEM version of Windows is a special version for a specific computer or models of computers and none of them are for Apple. Dell or HP might sell OEM versions of windows, tailor made to work with their models of computer. Which means they preinstall drivers specific for, say, a Dell Studio laptop. Often they will also force a partitioning scheme on a computer's harddrive as well. If it worked in Parallels, you were lucky.
If you want to try Boot Camp again, use Boot Camp-assistant to delete your Boot Camp partition and start over.

Mavericks won't install - not enough memory

I have successfully downloaded Mavericks and restarted. But it seems I filled my hard drive and it won't install, because it does not have enough memory. It seems Mavericks install created a new virtual startup disc, so every time I restart, Mavericks tries to install but finds out it does not have enough memory to do so. Is there a way around the new Mavericks startup disc to the old startup disc, which is on the same hard drive, so that I am able to clean up hard drive before installing Mavericks? I only have access to Terminal, Disk Utility and System information through Mavericks Installer menu. When I quit the Mavericks Installer, it tries to select a new startup disc, but does not find any. I have iMac with Intel i3 and latest OS X Mountain Lion before Mavericks install. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for reply. Yes, sorry, I don't have enough free disc space. The question is, how to get out of the Mavericks OS X Install process and start the computer using old system, old start up disc, which is on the same hard drive. Otherwise, I don't have a chance to clean up space on the hard drive and I am in the loop, Restart - Install OS X Mavericks - Finding out there is not enough space - Restart - etc.

Windows Vista won't install Ipod

Latest version of Itunes 7.4.2 has been installed, unfortunately Windows Vista has located Ipod mini in "other devices" in "Device Manager", but it won't install the Ipod. I've reinstalled Iteune three times and searched the Windows Vista disk, but with no luck.
I'm on the verge of selling the ipod - any advice would be welcome.
Thanks

I suggest either getting a Mac or going back to Windows XP because Vista is known to have these problems.

My new blank hard drive won't install OSX from the disk?

For some reason my Mac book pro won't install OS through the install cd or through the flash drives. It will load the disk but then freeze when I click install. It won't load through the USB either. I have done multiple diagnostics at the mac store and they tell me that my hd is bad. Twice the hd was fresh out of the box and installed that day. I spoke to a supervisor via phone when I called apple care and he told me that unless I have all apple parts in the computer they can't accurately diagnose the issue. It feels like they're trying to con me into paying double for a "apple hd". What can I do to get my computer working?

I would purchase an external USB enclosure for the HDD. With the HDD in the enclosure, install OSX and then mount in your MacBook. If you continue to have problems, it could be a faulty internal SATA cable.

ITunes won't install (at all) on my Windows 8.1 64 bit computer

I've tried downloading iTunes for Windows 8.1 64-bit computers and it won't install on my machine. I did everything like I think I was supposed to ... but nothing happens. In addition I've tried connnecting my iPhone 5S to a USB port ... nothing good happens. My computer recognizes the iPhone but it won't do anything with it. Also I've tried the suggestions from "windows 8.1 itunes wont recognize iphone: Apple Support Communitites" which entertains that I can open control panel ... find Device Manager and try to install new driver software from my disk ... with the suggestion that I 'browse' and find "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. ... and "Apple" does not exist under Common Files of either "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)"
So now what????

What is the full text of the error message?
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.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

Creative Cloud Desktop app won't install error 207; Adobe server?

Is there a problem with some of Adobe.com servers? My employer just purchased a CC subscription for my work Mac, and the CC Desktop App won't install. I've restarted my Mac, quit all Adobe products, redownloaded the DMG file (creativecloudinstaller.dmg), and checked to make sure my firewall is off. But I still get an error message #207. My DNS servers are set to the same ones that other Macs in my group are set to, and they have CC on their Macs.
I don't know if it's related, but I can't load "adobe.com" in my browser, either. All other webpages are fine, including (obviously) this forum.
I am using OS 10.8.5, connected via Ethernet, and my browser is Chrome.

Thank you for your help, Ned. I also called Adobe help via phone, and he confirmed that my company's server needed to whitelist several Adobe sites. The company had revised their servers not long ago, and evidently did not transfer their old whitelists (which is why my coworkers had previously been able to access Creative Cloud). The phone support person emailed me a helpful list that I could forward to our company's tech support center—but the link you supplied in your response was also perfectly relevant.

CS4 master Collection won't install on XP

After paying the big bucks for this CS4 Master Collection software, I can't get it to install. I have 1.5 gig of ram, all slots full. Will it not install with that? The install won't let me install on a drive with 123 gig of free space, the install pop-up says there's not enough room please change location. I change it to another drive with 197 gig of open space and it won't install.
Customer service is closed until Monday...I'll be back in class and don't get out until 8pm every frickin weekday.
I'm working on a sony the runs 3.20 ghz with the 1.5 gig of RAM. I just reformated the harddrive but windows takes up the C: partition but the extention is 123 gig, and I have several other drives (with hundreds of gigs open) I've tried to put it on....it says they're too small.
I've tried to install the trial version and it does the same thing. I'm at my wits end with this!
If there's only one out there willing to help me I would really appreciate, because Adobe doesn't seem to give a fig about helping me.

How much free space is on the C:/drive? Without a lot of room you'll have a hard time installing any program even if you install it to a different drive. Windows needs lots of free space on C: for installing applications.
If you have little free space, then whoever set up that machine did a very poor job of it. There is no benefit at all to installing applications on a different drive than the operating system.

OVI Won't install on my XpressMusic 5730 (hangs at...

I am trying to install the OVI application on my phone so that I can download apps and games but it won't install. After the install it starts up and I see the loading screen but that is all that I get. I do get an icon for OVI but if I try to use it it just does the same thing. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I have tried doing a hard reset and that does not resolve the issue at all.

I am trying to install Mavericks on my McbookAir, but it won't install, saying that my hd is used for time machine backups. I have an external HD connected to my mbAir that I'm using for time machine.

2012 Macbk air, with OSX 10.8.5. See my question above. Mavericks won't install on my Air's HD, says that both the HD - AND - the external HD (which has a different name from the laptop HD) are used for time machine backups. I've deleted my time machine plists, restarted, repaired permissions, turned time machine off, repeatedly selected the external drive in time machine preferences. HELP. (Install went perfectly on my desktop Mac, which also has an external HD for time machine).

I need to add that the only place I have the "Backups.backupdb" folder is on my backup external disk, and it's not on my HD :-( . If it were, I'd delete it!

TS1702 I tried to download the upgrade, now it won't install and I can not access my documents. It said Vi did not have enough space for the upgrade so I made room but still no luck.

I tried to download the upgrade, now it won't install and I can not access my documents. It said Vi did not have enough space for the upgrade so I made room but still no luck. If I delete the ap and reinstall I will lose my stuff. Any ideas? It won't open so I can email it to myself.

What upgrade are you trying to install? Your profile shows iOS 5.1.1, which is the current max iOS.
