Why can't I install disc 2 without it saying error

Why can't I install disc 2 without it saying "error in installation" I'm trying to erase and re-install the OS with the original installations discs.

To exit completely, hit command-Q. Note, iLife, fonts and printer drivers may not get installed. If it is a G5 instead of an Intel Mac, Appleworks, some games, and Classic might not get installed. If your PRAM battery hasn't been replaced in 4 years, it might affect installation. You might have a damaged disc, or a dirty drive making some discs unreadable. Sometimes the installers from the second disc work from the Finder of the installed system, instead of the general system software installer. Printer drivers can typically be found at the printer company's website, though third party drivers might work better*: http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
If you find there is a certain font missing, someone in this forum might be able to help you. Check this user tip both for the version of iLife that came with your machine, and the minimum requirements for iLife to see if your machine qualifies for certain newer versions:

Hey MarleeMason,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing error 3004 when attempting to update your iPhone. The following article addresses this error message and potential resolution:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Resolve communication issues
Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
Common errors: 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, or 3000-3999. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software", or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build".
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT4623 Why can't I install any apps keeps saying that my session has timed out

Why can't I install any apps it keeps saying my session has timed out

Thanks for your suggestion Ned01, I tried this as a last ditch attempt, unfortunatly it made no difference in my case, but i'm pleased it did for you. However, because you reminded me to have another go at this problem, i tried something else (which i'd unsucsessfuly tried before), that is, i deleted the 'CLICK & SAVE " a/c i'd set up recently, and reverted to my previous payment me and would you know it , this time it worked !! I set up a trail purchase and it worked.
It seems to me that other poeple with this problem have to solve it by trail and error, but thank you for your help.Sandystone..

Why can't I install SP2 or SP3 on my Satellite R10?

Why can't I install SP 2 or 3 on my satellite R10??? All I get is a message saying I need the Word 2002 disc in order to proceed

Wait a moment. Do you want to install XP service pack or do you want to install service pack for Office Software???
Secondly the Toshiba notebooks are not delivered with Microsoft Office only with OneNote and this is not the same!!! So what is the problem?! How did you install the Word on your notebook?!! In my opinion you should have the Office CD and in such case the installation of service packs should be NO problem

Why can´t I install system on ext. disk??

Why can´t I install my system on an external firewiredisk to have an alternative boot disk? My dealer said I can do. Now I tried to install Tiger from original DVD to an external firewire 400 disk from lacie, that was originally formatted to mac extended in two partitions. Before installation now, I formatted one partition to mac ext. journaled. Installer didn´t accept that. Why?

I'm not sure that's correct. "Not sure" because of the 10.2 issue, but I can say definitively that you can boot a both a G4 PB running 10.3 and an Intel MBP running 10.4 from the different partitions on the same external drive.
The two issues are partition scheme and the formatting of each partition. For my example, both partitions can have the same format, but that shouldn't matter for this since partitioning is "above" formatting in the drive architecture.
PPC machines must have an Apple Partition Map (APM) partition scheme on the boot drive to boot (they can't boot from a GUID drive). The Intel Mac OS installer requires a GUID-partitioned drive to install onto, but Intel Macs don't require GUID drives to boot. In other words, the Intel flavor of the Mac OS can't be installed directly onto an APM-partitioned drive with the install discs, but the OS can be cloned to the APM-partitioned drive. I have a LaCie external, APM-partitioned, and I use SuperDuper to backup my MBP and my wife's G4 PB running Panther. The external drive successfully boots my MBP and her PB.

Why can't I install on a second computer?

Why can't I install Premier Elements 12 on a second computer without paying for it again. The computer I originally installed the program on died. When I open Premier 12 on the second computer a window pops up to either buy it or use it on a trail basis. I already paid for it once.

bowguy1
There could be several scenarios for your situation.
1. You purchased Premiere Elements 12 as a download to a Windows computer and you want to use those downloaded 12 installation files on a Mac computer.
2. You already have the same purchased serial number on more than 2 of your computers. If this is the case and you want to download to a 3rd computer, then you need to deactivate that same purchased serial number from one of the 2 computers.
a. you can deactivate the purchased serial number from the working computer
b. you will need Adobe via its Adobe Chat to deal with the purchased serial number trapped on the crashed computer.
Please review and determine which scenario applies to you. If none, please give more details.
We are not Adobe. Rather user to user forum.

Why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8

why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8
Just purchased OS X Mountain Lion but in order to down load I have to have the App Store App on my Mac. Please help.

10.6.6 was the 1st to support the App Store, 10.6.8 is actually needed now as a minimum.
Install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.(10.9/Mavericks is the only download available now without specially calling Apple).
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273
Other countries...

Why can't i install a free app?

Why can't I install a free app? I click on free and then it tells me that I need to verify my payment option when the app is free. What am I doing wrong?

If you set up an Apple ID with credit card details then you need to enter valid credit card information and then when you download a free app it does what you are experiencing. You will not be charged. Sometimes when you update credit card information in you Apple ID, Apple raises a $1 charge to check to see if the card works and then cancels the charge. IF you want to set up an ID without a ccredit card then you do so like this

Why can't I install Snow Leopard on my videos hard drive?

I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. Lion is on the primary drive but I need Snow Leopard for a legacy app. My plan is to install Snow Leopard on a hard drive that I use for video projects, and then restart from that drive when I need to use the old app. The problem is that the Snow Leopard installation disk says that it can't install onto the videos hard drive unless I partition the hard drive, which will erase all the data. Why can't it install onto the videos hard drive? There's no operating system on that hard drive. The hard drive has folders for Final Cut Express Projects, iMovie Events, iMovie Projects, DVDs movies I've ripped, a folder of music, and an iDVD project. What do I need to remove to enable installing Snow Leopard?

If I understand what you are saying you have a drive with "stuff" already on it and you want to install a version of OSX on to it while still retaining that "stuff". If that's what you want to do you cannot do that mainly because there's already "stuff" on that drive.
The only way you can do this is to either of the following:
a. Copy the "stuff" off that drive to another drive. Install the OS. Copy the "stuff" back on to the newly created boot drive.
b. Copy the "stuff" off that drive on to another drive. Partition the drive into at least 2 partitions; one for the boot and one for the "stuff". Install the OS into one of the partitions. Copy the "stuff" back to the other partition.
Either way, if you want to use that disk for a boot disk, you got to get that "stuff" out of the way to do the OSX install on to that disk.
