Vista SP1 will not install, error 0x800f0826. Fix It tools will not run.

I am trying to upgrade a laptop all the way to Vista SP2, I first need to install SP1. It will not install and after Step 3 or 3, 100%, reverts stating error
0x800f0826.
The common cause, looking online, is a previous failed Windows update.
On this laptop there are no updates listed at all in Windows updates, none listed as pending, installed or hidden. It is as though Windows update has no history yet it tells me
it is up to date and there are no updates available.
I have tried a huge variety of Microsoft FixIt tools from various KB articles to try and solve this and this provides my other clue as 100% all Fix it tools fail.
If I could work out what causes them to fail, I might have more insight to the failed SP1.
Running any Microsoft "fixit" tool comes up with
"Troubleshooting cannot continue because an error has occurred we're sorry but the program encountered an error and can not continueplease
try again later. To download a utility to troubleshoot this problem click here." Clicking just downloads a Cab file full of PowerShell commands and xml files. (DIAG_MATS_NETWORK_global.DiagCab) which does
not seem to work with the Microsoft Diagnostic Toolkit.
If anyone can help me get the Fix It tools working then I might stand a chance to get the rest working.

Which operating system are you running? It might still be running in the background. You may want to check your Task Manager or Activity Monitor. Or better yet, if you feel uncomfortable with that, try logging out of your user account, then back in. That might kill any stray processes.

Question: i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

iPhoto needs to be upgraded in order to work with Mavericks. You can do that via Software Update or the App Store.
The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
Upgrading iPhoto does not involve your iPhoto Library. Your photos will still be there. But it never hurts to make a backup first.

RE: : "AEC-6880 BIOS not install" error - fixed for me.

To anyone receiving the POST error : "AEC-6880 BIOS not install" on a 645Max2, my problem was a dead Maxtor Plus9 disk.
Both disks in the mirror array were brand new 80GB parts, within three days i was getting the BIOS not installed error instead of the Acard utility telling me one of the disks was bad. Pretty major ehh?!!
I removed the dead disk and managed rescue the data from the working disk, so don't reformat them before you've checked that both disks are good!
Hope someone out there finds that useful.

Welcome to the Club! Got the same Problem and had a really hard time reaching the Customer Support because they were down due to maitenance! Just wrote to their experts chat and hope to get an answer in this life!
I tried to authorize my Computer and eBookreader with a new Adobe-ID, but it says I've done used this ID too often, even though it was brandnew! Can't copy my just-purchased eBook because "Copying is not allowed".
I hold my thumbs for you that Adobe solves this Problem fast enough. Other ways I'll sell my eBookreader and buy the Kindle-Reader from Amazon and say GOOD BYE to Adobe!

PLEASE HELP! - when i go to open up itunes this message appears "This copy if itunes is corrupted or not installed properly" If i remove itunes will i lose all my bac ups?

when i go to open up itunes this message appears "This copy if itunes is corrupted or not installed properly" If i remove itunes will i lose all my bac ups?

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Cannot embed pdfs in MS Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.

Cannot embed pdfs in Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.
Pdfs with other versions are okay:
Tested successfully with Adobe Pro 9 (Version 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)), Reader X (Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)) and XI (Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x))
Also cannot open embedded pdfs which have been embedded with this version (getting a similar error).
Importantly I have removed/disabled all security options in Adobe Reader, following numerous internet suggestions from Adobe and elsewhere. This does not fix the problem.
Currently the work around is to re-save the pdf with something other than Adobe Reader 9 (so the version updates), but we would prefer not to do this for all the old pdfs we have.
Thank you,
Louise.

Could you please email me the document on which you are seeing this issue at [email protected] ?
Please mention the forum thread link as well in the mail for the reference.

The dreaded Airport Card not Installed error

I'm getting this error now, along with problems with my ethernet port. It was working fine on Sunday, I closed it and put it in its bag, then when I took it out later, no wireless and ethernet wasn't working. I rebooted and then got the "Air Port card not installed" message. The ethernet card will not pick up an IP via DHCP, however, if I manually assign an address, it can contact machines on my local net only - I even finished a Time Machine backup to a windows share after the failure.
failed repair attempts:
Reboot
SMC and PRAM reset - multiple times
Reinstall
Delete .kext files (not all of them, just the ones recommended in other threads like IO8011family.kext - which was recreated, but still no joy.)
I'm about ready to wipe and reload, but I fortunately have a the old hard drive I took out when I upgraded - it exactly as I took it out - I didn't change a thing.
Before I try swapping the drives or wipe and reload, does anyone have any ideas?

Well, repairing disk permissions did not help. Another SMC rest and PRAM reset did not help, and booting from external hard drive (different software) did not help. I'm really scared now because there is no way I can afford to repair it until November. Does anyone have any ideas?

TIF limitation throws up 'codec not installed' error

How odd - PRE7 produces a 'codec not installed' error if I try to import a .TIF file of 600dpi resolution. But it works fine if I resize the image to 300dpi resolution.
I'm posting this for the benefit of anyone else who might encounter this inappropriate still image error.
Cheers,
Neale
Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children

Because DPI/PPI is ignored in Video, I am surprised at this. Guess it's ignored - up to a point.
Now, the "usual suspects," when one has an issue with still image Import are:
CMYK (actually, almost any Mode but RGB)
16-bit (or now 32-bit) images
Progressive JPEG's
PSD's with a very small Layer (I've only seen this in PrPro)
Images with a combo of Vector Shapes, that are not Rasterized in PS - though some of these work. NLE's just do a poor job of Rasterization)
Images above 4096 x 4096 pixels
Guess that we can add another - higher DPI/PPI, at least 600dpi. As a habit, I have Actions that handle Mode, Bit-Depth, and will set the PPI to 72, so had never encountered this. At least now we are armed with an additional attribute to ask about.
Thanks for pointing that out.

You should be able to Save as: iWork 08, but i don't know how it works on Mountain Lion. On my Snow Leopard the Save as window has a part looking like this
Or you can send me the document if you are in a hurry and I save it as iwork 08 for you. Click on my blue name and you'll find my address.

AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion The installer will not install because it states the OS is not supported. I have the latest

AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion The installer will not install because it states the OS is not supported. I have the latest

Part of your message was not included. Can you re-post with details again please?

HT5022 This is not Apple like, the installer will not install because it reports 10.8 is not supported

This is not Apple like, the installer for AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
will not install because it reports 10.8 is not supported. So how do I configure my older Airport Express

AirPort 5.6 won't install under Mountain Lion, but it will run once it is.
Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
Run Pacifist.
Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

Project not installed error message. What does it mean?

Why do we get a project theme not installed error massage when using iDVD?

Probably because the themes are not installed or iDVD has broken the link to the themes' location. Check in the HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD folder to see if the themes are there. If not then check in your ~/HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD folder. If they are there then copy them into the HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD folder. Repair disk permissions and reboot.
If that doesn't help you'll have to reinstall iDVD from the disk it came on. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iDVD from the disk it came on originally and apply all necessary updaters.
