  • HT6114 Why can't I install Mavericks on OS X Mountain Lion? I keep getting the message "Cannot install on Macintosh HD"

    Why can't i install mavericks on OsX mountain lion? I keep getting the message "Cannot install on Macintosh HD"

    You have a Macbook Pro, not a desktop Mac Pro and, since yours is a 2011, it should install.
    How much RAM do you have?
    And how much empty hard drive space?
    Did you get the machine new or did you buy it used with Lion installed?

  • Why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory

    why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory. I need to install this in a different drive. I prefer to keep the Os drive free of rubbish. Is there an option in an install to allow this to happen?

    What is your operating system & version?
    If you are on Windows, download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and click 'Change Destination Folder' and the first install panel.

  • Why can't I install Mavericks OS in my old MacBook Air?

    Why can't I install OS X Mavricks in my old Mac Book Air?

    If your model does not meet the requirements, then you cannot do anything about it except buy a newer model.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?

  • Why can I not install Adobe Flash Player on my Samsung III phone!?!? Are you kidding me!?

    .Why can I not load Adoble Flash Player onto my Samsung III phone !?!?Are you kidding me!? Or am I doing something wrong?

    Hi, I don't know. It is not too helpful to only know that you have a computer.

  • Why can't I install Mavericks on my mac pro?

    hi, I have macbook pro, intel core 2 duo, 2.33 Ghz. why can't I update it to OS X Mavericks? everytime I click on install, it says "can not be installed on this computer". thanks!

    Check the model number.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    If your model number is less, you'd need a new computer.

  • Why can I not install updates or upgrade to 8?

    When I try to install updates, all I get is "Connecting to the update server" And when I "download" version 8, and then go to open firefox again, it is still version 7...

    Hi crazytwin123-
    There can be a number of reasons why the updates are not installing correctly. Here is a link to an article describing how you might fix the problem:

    Hope that helps!

  • Why can I not install adobe flash, I get a message saying it will not install while firefox is runing

    When I try to download adobe flash player everything goes fine and the download finishes. When asked to install I get a message that says it will not install while an application is running. Which is Mozilla Firefox

    Adobe Shockwave Flash needs to install plugins for Firefox, and Flash needs to do that with Firefox closed. So close Firefox and run the Flash installer.

  • Why can i NOT INSTALL latest version of itunes

    I cannot update itunes, it just will not install, my iupdad is freezing --- APPLE WHAT ARE YOU DOING, WE BUY THESE ITEMS AND YOU THEN BLOCK US EVERY WAY WE TRY, I AM SO SICK OF BEING USED

    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 iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Why can I not install fonts? Office for Mac will not recognize them?

    My wife and I tried many times to install several fonts that we could use in Microsoft Office for Mac. Even though it said they were installed in the Mac, we could not see them in Word. We are new to the Apple products. We are not novice computer users, just novice Mac users. The font book shows them installed. We tried to choose several of the font families to add the fonts to. We could not see them there either. My wife does some foreign correspondence and likes to use pretty script fonts (TTF). Please help if you can.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE
    Billy

    Sorry also not.
    I signed in to the App Store (and to itunes store just to make sure) with both my apple ids but i do not have the sub- section 'Hidden Purchases' within 'Itunes in the cloud' section. I guess I do not have hidden purchases then...
    More interestingly: I checked the 'Top Charts' section in the AppStore and under category 'Top Free' all the iWork stuff (Numbers, Keynote, pages etc) shows up! But it has a price (e.g. numbers = 2000Yen) underneath... very strange.
    Somewhat the app store knows that it should be free for me but the price is not displayed as 'Free'...
    Help please.

  • Why can I not install safari

    What has happened to safari? Macbook pro 10.10.  After installing antivirus, I can only get and use firefox. 

    I use DiskWarrior, Drive Genius, Onyx, Cocktail and BatChmod and have for years and while most if not all of what they do can be done from the terminal these save time and give me an interface thats easier for me to work with. These are some of the many legitimate Mac utilities but not the only ones. There are really just a handful of bad ones, MacKeeper happens to be the most controversial of them and on these forms I have not seen anyone defending it, but I have read supposed experts who claim it's legit on Mac websites from time to time. 
    and a fool is someone who takes nothing from the experience.

  • Why can I not install Presenter v.9

    Downloaded and installed eLearning suite 6.1. All components appear to have installed correctly, with the exception of Presenter v.9.
    The install GUI indicates that there is a previous version installed.
    However having swept drive, and checked for hidden apps and files, I can find no reference to this, or previous versions.
    We were hoping to run tests for comparison - various types of presentation software. Key to designing and recomending to our future users. However with this perceived issue and time runnig out. we may have to ignore this product.
    Is there a downloadable Adobe Product that can tidy up or prep. for uninstall / install scenarios?
    All help gratefully received.

    I am Mukul from Adobe Presenter Engg. team.
    I can see from your post that you need to get started on Presenter on urgent basis.
