WON'T INSTALL OSX NO MATTER WHAT VERSION OR METHOD!!!

I purchased brand new macpro 2010 8-core few weeks ago and for the last week havent been able to reload new OS either leopard or snow leopard from the provided startup disks, etc... I also have an image of OSX 10.5 on a hard drive partition which is how i usually load my OS.
Ever since I reformatted my hard drive and attempted to install Snow Leopard 10.6 to then update to 10.6.2 for Pro Tools Mbox 2Pro compatibility reasons, it hasn't worked once!!! Installation never succeeds. Always fails!!! either OS, by the way. Some times it boots up to a white screen and nothing else.
Tried holding option and am able to select boot drive, but then just makes noise and never boots then forces me to hard re-boot.
Obviously i plan to take machine into Apple but due to intense Mix schedule have no time and would like to figure out what the heck!!!
Also, would you recommend I get the 6-core 3.33 rather than my 8-core 2.4? is that really faster for me in the long run??? I also plan to buy SSD OWC boot drive and run pro tools HD for all my music production processing.
Which Config will serve me best???
Thanks for all input/advice.

He doesn't have a normal 2010, and whatever it is, it has been modified. Don't use that one report as proof. There are times with Mac Pro when you can run older build of OS X depending on EFI version, the processors and other items. Some 2010 models still used older Nehalem pre-Westmere and so closely resemble the 2009 in 99%.
Graphic card wise, all the 2008-2010 can run any of the same graphic cards as is, except for the ATI 5770/5870 which wasn't included in 10.5.8. Also, the GTX 285 was a bit of a problem too, had to apply a patch first.

I have an ipad mini that won't power on. It was turned off to charge overnight. In the morning it was warm and now won't turn on no matter what I do. I've tried resetting using the power / home button combination and nothing works.

If you have owned the device, as in purchased from Apple, less than a year then there will be no charge to repair, or most likely, replace the device. If you have had the device more than a year you will be charged an out of warranty cost for replacement ($219 I think) and that is much cheaper than a new device. If you have Applecare+ then you have an additional year of coverage and the replacement will be $49 or $79 depending on when you got the Applecare.

Try a hard reset while connected to power: (adapter, not iTunes on computer): Press and hold both the Home button and Sleep/wake button at the same time for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple Logo appears.
If this doesn't work: try to force restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

QuickTime Won't Install, Can't Find Newer Version OSX 10.4.11

When QuickTime 7.6 released, the update caused problems on my Mac PPC G5 (OSX Tiger 10.4.11). I deleted it. I attempted to reinstall an older version of QT that I knew functioned. This was over a year ago. It didn't work. As it was not urgent, I forgot about it.
Now, there is software I want to use that relies on QT being installed.
Running into the same problem with the installation. It's a Catch-22 situation.
*The QT 7.5.5 Installer won't install because "a newer version is already installed".*
*However, attempts to run ANY software or movie or whatnot that uses QT tells me the opposite, that QT is NOT installed.*
I have searched the computer's furthest corners trying to dig out components and packages and it STILL insists QT is installed. I've searched on every possible variation of QuickTime, Quicktime, quicktime, qt, you name it. NOTHING.
What am I missing? How do I get this to work? I've no intention of upgrading to Leopard just yet.
Thanks in advance.

What am I missing?
As far as I know, the installing software still checks the "Library > Receipts" folder to read a history of which package updates have been installed rather than searching to see if the actual app is installed. Have you deleted the receipt ".pkg" files equal to or newer than the one you currently wish to install. However, remember this approach assumes that any "patches" applied in the ordinary upgrade process will not create a conflict within the embedded QT structure when reinstalling an older version--which may or may not be true here. (I.e., QT is no longer an independent application or software package but rather an integrated part of the operating system.) The safest approach is to re-install an older version of the entire OS and upgrade the system as it was meant to be updated to the level at which you wish to operate.

My new blank hard drive won't install OSX from the disk?

For some reason my Mac book pro won't install OS through the install cd or through the flash drives. It will load the disk but then freeze when I click install. It won't load through the USB either. I have done multiple diagnostics at the mac store and they tell me that my hd is bad. Twice the hd was fresh out of the box and installed that day. I spoke to a supervisor via phone when I called apple care and he told me that unless I have all apple parts in the computer they can't accurately diagnose the issue. It feels like they're trying to con me into paying double for a "apple hd". What can I do to get my computer working?

I would purchase an external USB enclosure for the HDD. With the HDD in the enclosure, install OSX and then mount in your MacBook. If you continue to have problems, it could be a faulty internal SATA cable.

I have OSX 10.5.5 but my computer won't install OSX 10.5.8

Why won't my macbook Pro install OSX 10.5.8?

Some general advice on updating Leopard:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious! In fact a second restart can be recommended.
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their websites for updates.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
[b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

IPhone 4s won't turn on no matter what I do.? Whats going on.?

So a about 2 months ago my phone was overheating so I took it out of it's case to cool down and it fell and the back completely shattered. After that no sound or vibrations were coming from it at all.Then a few weeks ago my phone completely shut off and now it won't turn back on no matter what I do. I hold down the power and lock button for 10 seconds and plug it in to my computer while still holding the home button, but nothing happens. I've looked everywhere on the internet and can't find anything about it. And also when I try every now and then, the apple logo pops up like its turning on but it never does. The sign just disappears and won't show up again.

Blackberry won't turn on no matter what

ok so my blackberry 9630 tour wont turn on even with a full charge for 8 hours, battery pulls, and no matter how many times i press the power button, it would not turn on. all it does is about every 30 seconds, ONLY WHILE CHARGING, the red light blinks for about 15 seconds, then repeats. i connected to blackberry desktp manager, and the same thing happens. it detects the phone ONLY when the light is on, so when i try to reload the software, it always says my blackberry was disconnected when its still in my port. so after a while of searching, i found out where "loader" was in program files (x86) > common files > research in motion > Apploader > loader.exe and used it, and the same thing happened. i took out the battery and tried to complete the process so it can reset, and while resetting it says it can't connect to the phone every time in the "configuring device" or something close to that phrase, step. i tried inserting my battery and doing it, still no luck, and i tried downloading the software setup file from blackberry website AND official sprint website and it says disconnected from device in the setup. i do not have service in my phone from any carrier but i still want it to turn on because it was my first phone. please is there any way i could turn it on WITHOUT calling some repair dude from sprint? please help i don't want to pay for anything. i thank you if there is a way to revive this old phone but if there isn't, i guess im screwed

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

My iTouch won't turn on no matter what I do

I have an iTouch, and for some reason... It won't turn on.
I tried resetting it by holding both buttons, plugging it into the computer, waited about 25 minutes to see if it was dead & it still WILL NOT turn on. My computer won't even recognize it. What should I do? It's the 1st gen. but it's been VERY well taken care of.

Hi kdb,
Try holding down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them for 10-20 seconds. See if the Silver Apple appears. If it does, release the buttons and allow the iPad to reboot. Once it reboots, the Home screen will display.

I am trying to install after effects, but no matter what version I try to download, there is always a different error not allowing me to open or use the program after I have already installed it.

I have recently repurposed an iMac from late 2009 as an editing machine, and have been trying to install preferably After Effects CS6. When I install and try to open it for the first time, the program quits unexpectedly and continues to do the same every time I try to reopen the program. After no luck experimenting trying to fix the problem, I attempted to download the trial of After Effects CC 2014 to see if the problem was with the computer or with the application. After installing CC, there was another error when I attempted to open it. My final attempt was taking After Effects CS5 from an old hard-drive and attempting to open it on the iMac. When I open CS5 I am greeted with another error message telling me to reinstall After Effects. After reinstalling I get the same message.
I am confused to whether my computer can handle After Effects, or there is another error occurring.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Internet Explorer 10 won't install Adobe Connect (latest) - what's wrong?

I have downloaded the latest plug-in for Adobe Connect and install it from the zip [ac_addin_win_392.zip]. I unzip that to a folder, then click on the [setup.exe] executable. The process executes successfully. When I open my add-ins folder for IE10, however, the plug-in is not shown. There is a website to test meeting connections https://na1cps.adobeconnect.com/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm - which says I do not have Adobe Connect installed. What is going on? I've done this several times now with no success. I have a meeting in a matter of days that is really vital to attend but this won't work!

Hi az_rigtig,
After installation of latest add-in can you check and confirm if installed files(adobeconnectaddin.exe /digest.s) are present in you installation directory.
By Default the instalation directory is : C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin or %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin
Also make sure no config (mms.cfg) present in below locations : a) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash b) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash (for 64 biut machines)
Let me know if this solves the purpose .
Thanks

Won't install java 1.8 says version already exists 14.9

I'm trying to create a database in Open Office which I was able to do fine this morning, but now after updating OO it is telling me "no java installation could be found". When I go to oracle to download the latest Java version the machine tells me I already have version 14.9 installed which as far as I can tell from google searching is not an actual version of Java since every link is in another language. I've gone through the forums to see how to delete the version of "java" that I do have off the machine. Opened the terminal and cut and pasted in the command from this post: When trying to install newest Java, computer says a newer one already exists? But it says I need a password to run the command. There is no solution on this thread. So I'd really love for someone to tell me what the heck give here. (I'm running 10.9.5 and trying to use OO 4.1.1. I've gone through the OO forums to no avail as well.)

How I was able to overcome the Java 14.9.0 problem
My iMac (late 2009) was yesterday updated to Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and today I updated Java through Apple Store, which resulted in Java 14.9.0 and it was unable to run.
After researching, I found the following path that was 100% successful to delete Java 14.9.0 and able to install Java 10.8.40.
On the System Preference for Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 go to section:
1. Personal -> Security Privacy -> Firewall -> turn it off
2. General-> Check "Allow application downloaded from anywhere".
(In case if Norton Firewall is on: check it Disabled)
On Finder -> Devices -> Macintosh HD and localize Java Applet Plugin.plugin and move it to trash:
Finder -> Devices -> Macintosh HD -> Library -> Internet Plug-Ins -> JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
Go to www.java.com and install Java version 8 update 40.
After following the steps, verify its installation.
Go back to System Preference and localize in the section Other "Java Control Panel". Click on its icon and go to Security and check "Enable Java content in the browser".
Check browser to activate Java Plug in: Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons ->Plugins -> Java Applet Plug-in - Java 8 Update 40
Check "Always Activate " or "Ask to Activate"
Hope these paths help you.
