Why won't Motion install?

I have Lion on one drive and Snow Leopard on another. So I won't lose function as I grow to know Lion.
Presumably, I could go from one boot drive to the other, and still work on projects from either OS.
I want to install FCPX and Motion 5 on the Lion drive. I own both on the Snow Leopard drive.
But the App Store only allowed me to load FCPX, then flags the download of Motion 5 as being "installed" and won't let me install it.
What's the right way to do this without starting a fight between the two installs?

I installed Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5 on a virgin install of Snow Leopard to make sure all was well. After a few days, I dragged them over to my usual Snow Leopard drive.
They now live as "Final Cut Pro" and "Motion" (without version names) in a 'Final Cut Pro X' folder in my applications folder. I do this so I can continue to use Final Cut Pro 7.
Just by dragging over, the App Store on my main machine considers them installed on my usual drive.
You could copy Motion from your Snow Leopard drive to your Lion drive. It might work for you as it did for me.

HT4591 Why won't Motion give me the update to 5.0.7?

I'm running Snow Leopard and Motion 5.0.4. Software Update doesn't list anything for Motion, but the release notes say it's up to 5.0.7! Why won't Motion give me the update to 5.0.7?

Thanks! The problem I had was that I simply needed to download a new version from the App Store. I had honestly completely forgotten about the App Store. I'm on 5.0.7 now.

Why won't my installed LR6 stay installed?

I've installed my upgrade 4X now and it won"t stay installed. It disappears when I try to reopen it and I'm back to LR5 with none of the new features (HDR/facial recognition new editing erase brushes), LR6 splash page etc. The only place I can find LR6 is back on the computer's downloads. LR 5 has the banner at the top of "Lightroom 3 Catalog 6-3

I have the same problem.

Please HELP! Why won't Leopard install on my eMac?

When I put the Leopard DVD in my eMac it does not recognize it at all. I don't hear the drive running, and nothing pops up on the desktop. Altho it is an older machine, it meets all of the system requirements: 1GHz, 640MB, PowerPC G4, with plenty of hard drive space! I've tried to reboot and install, I've tried reboot and hold the C key to install... nothing works! I even put in another DVD just to make sure that the optical drive is still working properly... it played just fine.
I've read everything that I can about installing but haven't found anything that addresses this. I did see one article that said that Leopard cannot be installed on UFS(?)-formatted volumes. Can anyone tell me how I would find out whether I'm affected by that or not? Also, when I tried it in my iBook G4, it popped right up... what's the deal?!
PLEASE HELP! I'M SOOOO FRUSTRATED!! Thanx in advance!

Hi There...
So, I currently have a CD read/write and DVD player combo drive... should that be able to read the Leopard Install DVD? I don't understand why my iBook G4, 1GHz with 256MB will read it, but my eMac G$, 1GHz, 640MB won't!
I would suspect that your optical drive is not functioning properly. While the drive is most likely capable of reading DL DVDs, it may not be working right. See if you can skip through a full DL DVD movie on the drive with zero errors. Be sure to include both layers meaning go past the 2-hour point.
The target mode is another solution, but even if you install it, you won't be able to fix it or do anything that requires the DVD unless you fix that first.
I will try to install it using the "target mode" with a firewire and see if it works, unless anyone has any other suggestions for me... thanx.

Why won't Motion let me close project?

Hey,
I'm currently running Motion 4 on my iMac (Mac OS X 10.7.2). Whenever I open the software, a bunch of old projects pop up with media missing (since I used external hard drives). Motion won't let me close these projects, or quit the application (I have to do force quit). I also cannot create new projects.
Whenever I try to do anything, I just get a blip noise telling me I can't (including changes to the open project).
When I first open Motion there is a pop up telling me a picture is missing (from one of the past projects). It does let me close this pop up.
Final Cut Pro seems to run fine.
I tried re-installing all of Final Cut Studio, and nothing changed.
I also went ahead and repaired permission in disk utilities (thanks Russ H!).
Any help would be much appreciate!!

Check the individual project files and see if they're locked. Select them in the finder and hit command-i. There's a checkbox at the bottom of the general section that allows you to "lock" the file. You might also try and delete or move this files offline before launching Motion.
Can you do a save as for each project? That might work. Are you opening files over a network? Probably not the best way to work.
Did you use preference manager? And delete the preferences for the appropriate version of motion? That should clear the recent projects I would think. Confirm this and I"ll forward the problem on to the software author and see if I'm right about this or not.
Try creating a new account (system preferences: accounts) and see if motion will open properly in that. If so, it's probably a preference problem.
Do you have any system utilities or hacks loaded on your system?
And is it possible that Lion has some option to open the last documents open in an app? I know they've implemented some of this crap in Mountain Lion. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so I have no experience with it. Might check if that's the case and find out how to work around it.

Dude, you need to calm down and take a break. I am not a code writer nor a website designer, but this worked very easily for me. I am a PC-er not a MAC user. I have a Toshiba 64 bit machine using windows 7 and IE 9. I know enough to really screw things up. Here is the finished poduct http://www.performancekaraoke.net/valvecoverracing.html
It worked for me with no problem. There is nothing to actually download provided you have the free version of adobe flash on your machine to begin with.

HT203175 Why won't iTunes install properly? It gives the start up error "The procedure entry point JSStringGetUTF8String could not be located in the dynamic link library WebKit.dll"

I can't get iTunes to install/start on my HP laptop. When I start/install the current version, I get the following error "The procedure entry point "JSStringGetUTF8String could not be located in the dynamic link library WebKit.dll". Why isn't this dll included in the distribution? What do I do to get iTunes to install on my 64-bit AMD HP laptop.

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
Does iTunes launch properly now?
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

Why won't Adobe install on Mac Os X 10.9.2?

I tried so many times and it just won't finishing downloading.

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.

Why won't Xcode install apps-in-dev to my iPod Touch anymore?

Hey all, I have an iPod Touch 8GB (2nd gen) running 3.1.3, as well as an iPad and a 3GS iPhone (running OS 4.x). I made absolutely no changes to the Touch nor the iPad, and yet as of the latest OS update for the Touch, which I did not install, Xcode will no longer install my dev apps to the device. I only just created the provisioning profile about 2 weeks ago, so it hasn't expired.
No idea why this is happening, but it's delaying my client work. Crazy thing is, the Organizer window in Xcode says that the Touch's OS is "too old", yet lists the very same 3.1.3 as being one of OSes supported by my current install of Xcode (which I think is 3.2.2 -- I had upgraded to handle OS 4, but then had to downgrade because of technical reasons).
Anyone else encounter this?

You'll be most like to get help with this problem if you ask in the developer forums:

Why won't Waveburner install?

For some reason my Waveburner v1.6.1 would not load up and an alert message cautioned me to check Waveburner version against my OSX (X9.2). OK, so I tried to reinstall it from Apple's update page, but after downloading, unpacking and then starting the installation having just passed the Agree to Terms & Conditions the 'install' button was greyed out and so I could not install it.
Now why is that?

Waveburner, which shipped with Logic Studio, may not be installable onto a Mac running OS X 10.9 "Mavericks".
Did you install it on a previous Mac? Have you tried using Migration Assistant to move it into your new Mac?

Why won't Flash install on my MAC?

How come adobe customer service won't help me? It's really
annoying that they can't help over the phone and I just have to
cross my fingers and hope someone knows what's going on in the
forum. Please, help.
I had flash installed fine and then one day it suddenly would
not work. It said I did not have the plug in blah blah so I
reinstalled it and still, all it does is bring me to the adobe
website and say it can't locate my plug-in. I've tried on Safari
and Firefox. I know it is being installed for all of my browsers.
I've also tried updating my browsers as well as uninstalling and
reinstalling flash and nothing works.

Hello,
Please try downloading the Flash from following link:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Please choose "Mac OSX.." in step 1 and "Flash Player 15.." in Step 2.
You should be able to download the Flash Player then.

Why won't iTunes install on my windows xp?

So, my iTunes notified me that I needed to update my iTunes to the latest version. So, I did what I had done a million times before, checked the little box that would install the latest version of iTunes once i clicked the"install 1 item button". After the installation should have been done, my computer said something like, " there was a problem with the installation. please uninstall then reinstall iTunes". I then uninstalled iTunes. Restarted my computer, and went to apple to reinstall iTunes. I ied dozens and dozens of times to install iTunes, and it refuses to install. Why?????????????????

Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)
