OS X :: Installer Keeps On Reappearing?
Feb 15, 2009
I installed Skype a few weeks ago and every time I restart my mac (which I seldom do) the installer keeps reappearing. I can see the disk on my desktop and I'm told that: "Skype" is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?""Skype" is on the disk image "Skype_2.7.0.330.dmg"....
Of course I've tried to eject the installer (by right-clicking on the desktop and in finder) and then restarted my machine. I've also tried uninstalling Skype...

Macs Console says this every time I try to update from 10.6.7 - 10.6.8Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â "10:08 PM Installer[244] The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."Â I can't update what so ever... every application basically needs to be manually installed or just comes to an unknown error either restarting the Mac or going through standalone...

Every time I open iTunes on my Mac a message comes up asking me if I want to sign in to the iTunes Store. 99.9% of the time I don't but when I delete the message, it reappears every ten seconds or so. I can't see any way of stopping the message from appearing.

A Yahoo dialog box keeps reappearing on my desktop that is asking for a password. It happens multiple times in a day, and appears regardless of what applications are running. I am unclear on what is initiating this

I have 7,000+ photos in my iPhoto library, many of which have been painstakingly edited. However, when I noticed yesterday that pictures I had deleted (and emptied from the iphoto trash) have reappeared in the library under the relevant 'Events' folder. Why oh why oh why? I have spent six hours already redeleting and editing. Why did this happen? How can I repeat it from happening again? Do I need to "rebuild" my library by holding down the command + option keys when opening iphoto?

So I've recently migrated back to Mail after a long hiatus and set up my Gmail account with IMAP. I like Mail 3.0, but one bug could be a deal breaker for me:I don't like the notes feature and don't plan to use it. However, there are four mystery notes that keep reappearing in my Reminders. I don't remember creating them, and whenever I delete them they reappear about 5 minutes later. They are all blank and always have the same timestamp, too. I've tried junking them, I've tried deleting the Notes mailbox itself, even deleting it on google's end.

Any time I try to remove an icon from the dock or an item from the login items and then logout/restart they come right back. It's like OS X is remembering my last login and then just duplicating it. I can't get it to keep it the settings I give it. Google and a quick search of the forums gave me nothing.

Having trouble with my iMac and the installer. I'm running up to date Lion 10.7.3. I first noticed this when I got an adobe flash update. Once I press the install button after the file has downloaded I get the usual computer admin box asking for my password. I fill this in and press OK and the admin box disappears but no installation happens. Its the same with any dmg file I download from the net but apps from the appstore download straight into launchpad fine. Its not that the password is wrong as when I do type an incorrect password the admin box jiggles in the usual apple incorrect fashion and stays on the screen. Â

Trying to install a .pkg from the command line in single user mode. I'm using the command "installer -pkg Installer.pkg -target / The .pkg is on a mounted USB drive. / is also mounted. When I run the command, the screen scrolls to a new blank line and stays there but nothing happens. The light on my USB indicates no data transfer is happening. I get no output, even if I add -verbose to the command.

My MBP will not read my cd. I was wondering if there is any way to get the installer from the cd to my laptop without having to actually use my cd?

I'm upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard, and I want to format my HDs before installing, because I want to repartition them.
However, I can't find "Utilities" and "Disk Utility" in the installer (I am at the point where after you click agree to the agreement and where you choose your disk to install SL on)

I am working on some Macs and am going to be installing Microsoft Office 2008 on them, including 12.2.0 and 12.2.5 updates and Entourage Web Services Edition. I would like to somehow automate the install by combining the packages into one or something like that.

I have a Macbook OS X that is about four and a half years old. One day, when I tried to open itunes, the itunes symbol came up on my dock, bounced a few times, and then disappeared. It won't open anymore. The same thing has now happened with the installer program. When I download anything and click on it to install it, the installer icon comes up on the dock, bounces a few times, and then disappears.

Recently, running Snow Leopard, the one made to install .pkg file aka installer.app stopped working. I click on a package file to install, the installer app opens, but then it just sits there. It's definitely open and running, but it's not running installer I clicked on to run.
EDIT: I also tried taking the Installer Application from another mac and replacing the one on my computer with that one, but the problem still persists.

I recently upgraded from snow leopard to 10.7.3. I tried to install the beta of messages. When I tried to run the installer it froze whilst checking if it was able to install on this computer. In the end I had to force quit the installer. This was the first piece of new software I had tried to install since upgrading to 10.7.3. In. The end I gave up. Today I tried to install another application. Exactly the same happened and I had to force quit again. It appears that i am now unable to install any new apps?

I understand the lion installer evaporates after use. I have three macs and would rather not endure the 2+ hours to download lion for each. As soon as the App Store finished downloading it, it went straight into the install sequence. I've stopped at the software license page for fear that it might proceed after that and I won't be able to stop it prior to the installer disappearing.

I need to make a bootup drive that has 10.7.2 on it on my iMac. I do not have -- however -- a Lion install disk...and I know I can't go backwards with the 10.7.3 that's running on it. I'm totally fine making a new bootable partition...butÂ
How do I start from scratch with 10.7.0...and upgrade only to 10.7.2....with no disks?Â

I can no longer install software or access preferences that require me to type in my name and password. Everything was working fine until today. My password still works during startup, but my screensaver does not accept the password.
Yesterday I created a user using dscl in the terminal. I am assuming my troubles are related to that.

A few days ago, I tried to install a minor update for NeoOffice (mac native OpenOffice) and the installer crashed. I figured no big deal, it's not an important update anyway. Today I tried to install the new Google Voice and Video program (similar to Skype) and the installer crashed again. I figured I had better to a software update because maybe I have some bad version of something. No luck, software update crashes too. I am running Leopard 10.5.8 Here's the reports from the three attempts.

i have a 27 inch iMac. I'd like to reinstall Mac OS X SL from scratch. I do have the disks that came with the mac, but they got scratched really bad so whenever I put them in, restart the mac and start installing the system after formatting the HDD the installer gives me an error saying, that the system could not be installed. The disks are scratched really bad.
So I went out and got the Snow Leopard upgrade DVD, put it in, restarted, but I can't pass the Apple logo, I don't even get to the spinning wheel under the logo, it just freezes and the optical drive stops (I hear it stop).I've tried pressing "c" while restarting, but nothing works. I've even tried downloading Snow Leopard from torrents and installing from a usb drive - same thing happens.Does anyone know how to fix that?
