When i try to reinstall Garageband, it says "There were errors installing the software." Does anyone know how i can totally reset the garageband app. Because i think i may have accidentally taken instrument files out of it.

The first thing I would suggest is to repair permissions

Doubtful that this is the cause

Hey elgriffiths,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues downloading your pre-ordered content. The resolution is going to depend on the error message you are receiving, however, I have included two articles that address a number of common errors:

Repair your Apple software update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
START/CONTROL PANEL/Programs n Features/highlight ASU and click REPAIR,

"There were errors installing the software. Please try again"

I have decided to sell my iMac and G4 iBook, in order to buy a Macbook Pro. I have two people interested, but only if both computers are formatted and as they were when they left the factory.
I erased all my files from both computers, leaving just the system files. I placed the instalation disk for OS X into my iMac (The disk that came with it) and selected instal. I chose the option to delete the current settings and instal a fresh version of OS X.
I hope that makes sense so far.
Anyway after a while, disk 1 had finished, and I was told to insert disk 2. I inserted disk 2, only for half way through the instal process, to be greeted by "There were errors installing the software. Please try again". I have now tried 14 times. I have officially given up.
I have searched these forums for an answer, but it seems as though other people have done things such as, installing other software, or hardware, and that is the cause of the problem. However I have done none of the above. I have tried searching the Mac Support pages, with no luck.
Can anyone help?

I suggest you do the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
Now try installing OS X. If you still have a problem then it's possible the hard drive is bad or the installer discs are damaged (or possibly just dirty and need a gentle cleaning) or there's a problem with the optical drive.

'There were errors installing the software. Please try installing again.'

Can anyone provide a solution for a sudden problem I've encountered. It began when trying to install Backup 3.1 and has now been repeated with OS X 10.4.5.
When trying through Software Update I'm told The update [packagename] can't be installed. Sorry, an unexpected error occurred. The Installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder.
When I try opening the Installer packages from the Finder the Installer reaches the stage of 'preparing target volume' and then displays this error: There were errors installing the software. Please try installing again.
Installer's Error Log says: Install failed: The following install step failed: run preflight script for [packagename].
Console.log contains this:2006-02-15 21:07:27.431 Software Update[331] session:product:061-2046 didFailWithError:NSError "Error SUSessionErrorDomain 6" Domain=SUSessionErrorDomain Code=6 UserInfo={errorCode = -2; }
Unsuccessful steps I've taken to resolve this issue have been: (1) I trashed com.apple.installer.plist, (2) I repaired disk persmissions; (3) I repaired the disk (when I did so, Disk Utility reported that no repairs were necessary); (4) I restarted in Safe Mode; and (5) I tried installing using a different User account.
Anyone?

Since first posting, I learned of further updates being available in Software Update (all the iLife '06 suite, basically). Horrified, I suspected that my Installer problem would rear its ugly head again with these, and sure enough that's precisely what happened. As a test, I unchecked all but one of the new items in Software Update and tried installing that. The exact same problem reoccurred.
Fortunately I also have an iBook G4 on which I had earlier run a successful upgrade to OS X 10.4.5. I ran Software Update on that machine, installed everything successfully, and then used Target Disk mode between iBook and iMac to first install 10.4.5 on the iMac and then to copy over the new versions of Backup, iDVD, iMovie, iPhoto, iTunes and iWeb. So my iMac is now up to date, but only by intervention of another machine. My original question remains: what could be causing the problem with Installer?
Thanks Jpfresno for your response. The only part of it which I had not tried was disconnecting my external Firewire HD before running Installer.

My existing purchases have INSTALL next to them, but when I try click on them it says "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)". I've tried restarting, clearing all caches, buying and downloading new apps (which works). Any idea

Hi - in the app store, I've logged in with no problem, but when I go into my existing purchases and have INSTALL next to everything I've bought, and try to click on them it says;
"There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)".
I've tried restarting, clearing all caches, buying and downloading new apps (which works), and also buying and downloading more music from iTunes too (so I update all T&C's etc too, and update all payment info). But nothing seems to solve this. Any ideas?? Thanks a lot, Greg

HT1923 when i try to reinstall itunes it says that the older version of the apple software update cannot be removed, what should i do?

I have tried to remove it myself and it says the parimeter is incorrect and it cannot be found. help!! i need itunes reinstalled.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time?

HT4886 When I try to reinstall the Server App it just shows installed and the date it was purchased. How can I reinstall it?

I bought a Mac Mini Server and after set up I realized that it was not set up as a mirrored raid system. So I followed the instructions on how to do that - this erased my drives. Restarted and reinstalled the Mountain Lion software but when I go to the app store it shows the server sotware in my purchases but there is no option for reinstall - it just shows INSTALLED and the date it was purchased.
Ho do I reinstall my server app?

Seems to have become available once again while downloading the update for Mountain Lion. I guess youjust have to wait a while for it to check your system and then make it available once more.
