Software :: Cannot Install Anything - Error 60008
Feb 22, 2010
I literally cannot install anything. For example I download the adobe flash installer and when I open the .dmg file I get to the point where it says choose Macintosh HD and then install. I click on Macintosh HD and then install and it doesn't do anything. I also cannot install from a cd/dvd. I do regular updates and am using OS X 10.6.2. I also reinstalled OS X with no luck, used Pacifist and got an error 60008 when I try to export any file from cd 1.

I cannot install anything, therefore I tried to use Pacifist but whenever I try to export anything I get the error -60008. I also get this same error number when I tried to remove something from my applications. I cannot even create a new user account to see if the problem persists there. It is all grayed out. Also, whenever I move my cache to trash I get the error: The operation cannot be completed because the following error occurred -60008
I'm using Mac OS X 10.6 I also do not have Installer.app only the Adobe Installer. I have no idea how this may have been deleted though. When I go to repair disk permissions using disk utility I get this one message: Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired. I suspect this is the problem, how can I sort it out?

I’ve used Disk Utilities awesome capabilities many times, but am now running into my first real problem. I am trying to create a 100 GB new blank disk image, using the “Mac OS Extended (Journaled) option for format, 256-bit AES encryption, a single partition-Apple Partition Map, and Image Format as read/write disk image. When I implement this, it asks for the AES password then repeatedly crashes, albeit in slightly different ways each time. The most informative was a Unable to create “filename.dmg” (error -60008) message. I can’t find anything explanatory about this in Google I’m wondering if this has something to do with my upgrade to Lion (OS 10.7.4) yesterday from Snow Leopard. This error occurs on both my home and work iMacs. It seems to reliably occur about 1/2 way through typing in my password. The error occurs whether I use 128 or 256 AES encryption. There is more than adequate space on the hard drive I am attempting to place this image on. Disk Utility is version 12.1.1 (353) and all is running on a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac.
Info:
Mac OS X (10.6.7)

I have the following:
Mac Book Air with 10.5.8
iMac with 10.6.4
Purchased 10.6 Mac Box Set
When I try to access and install 10.6 on my MacBook Air, I get the following error:
"The operation cannot be completed because the original item for "Mac OS X Install DVD" cannot be found"
I am trying to use remote disc on my iMac to access the 10.6 install disc. I used the the "Ask to use" option on my MacBook Air, and then selected "Ok" on my iMac to give permission. Despite this I get the above error.

I have an Imac 17" Intel Core 2 Duo (5,1) 2ghz late 2006 model. Just recently the superdrive has perished for what ever reason & I have read that some times if you reinstall the original operating discs that came with the computer, the superdrive may or may not come back to life.
Leopard 10.5.8 with all the updates is the current set up on the imac & I want to put Tiger 10.4.7 back on it. So I'm connecting the Imac to my Mac pro 15.4" (late 2007 model - 2.2ghz 4gb ram intel core 2 duo) via firewire & use the Imac as a target disk. I put the install disc into my mac pro with the imac connected, power down - reboot holding 'C' to boot up the Tiger install disc. The apple logo & spinning wheel appear, but then the screen darkens & a 'You must turn off your computer or hold the power switch for a few seconds appears'
Now I've tried resetting the PRAM,NVRAM & SMC also decreasing the amount of RAM there is in the laptop.But the error is always the same? However if I put leopard 10.5.6 disc in that starts ok, snow leopard 10.6 that starts ok too. But tiger 10.4.7 & leopard 10.5.1 won't start at all? How can I get Tiger 10.4.7 back onto the imac using my mac pro?
Yes the only other way is to replace the superdrive, but I'm not in a position to get it replaced at the minute & if reinstalling the original operating discs rejuvenates the old superdrive, then there's no point.

I'm trying to bootcamp Vista onto my mac so that I can play Diablo 2 since it won't run on my macbook white (2.4GHz). Anyway, I have a legit CD for Vista that I used to install it however when I was selecting the partition to use I got the message that "Windows cannot be installed on this partition as it is not NTFS" or something in that general wording. So, is there any way to create a bootcamp partition as NTFS or is it possible to run Vista on a non NTFS partition.

A friend of mine somehow ruined his iMac's operating system (tiger) and tried to fresh format his hardrive. He told me that every time he would attempt to install, it would say "install failed" and he would have to restart. I couldn't imagine what he was doing wrong, so I attempted to install tiger on his iMac. OSX failed to install with "erase and install" so I ran disk utility and attempted repair with "failure to unmount".
I also tried erase via disk utility using various formating (journaled etc.). How would I be able to install tiger without error? I am not exactly sure why the installer fails, I am assuming it is something on the hard drive that is preventing install. I don't think it's the disk because the installation disk check proceeded and gave no errors.

I'm having issues setting up a Tri-boot system on my Macbook. I can't figure it out at all. I've created the partitions, and began installing XP. After the set up, the machine reboots to finish the install, but I get a 'disk error: press any key to reboot' error after the install. I am not installing though Bootcamp, and I have insured the drive is an NTFS drive, as that is reason the disk error usually appears.

I have a Macbook (from 2007) running Tiger OS X 10.4.11. I am trying to install BootCamp onto the computer, but Tiger did not come with Boot Camp installed. Because of this I had to download Boot Camp 1.3 Beta. This is old, and has expired, but I changed the system date to be 2006 and this has made it work. When I am partitioning the disk, this message comes up: Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again. I have already Backed Up and the computer is already formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), but this message still comes up. Disk Utility has Greyed out the Erase section for Macintosh HD so I cant re-format it.

I�m rebuilding a MacBook Air at work and ran into a problem....
After checking the install DVD I get the error:
The installer could not validate the contents of the 'BaseSystem' package
I�ve ran a simple Hardware Test and that came back ok, it�s currently running an extended hardware test.
I am using the original Air install DVD�s
I�ve tried erasing the drive (SSD 64GB) and that made no difference...
I�ve done some reading already on the net and this error usually points to a RAM issue, 3rd party RAM, but obviously this cant be the case with the Air...
Its a 1.8 Rev A with the original SSD and I�m using the Superdrive....

I am trying to do an archive and Install of OS X Leopard on a MBP but the installer won't allow me to do this.
I have tried the install by holding down the Option Key at bootup with the Leopard DVD in the drive. I follow all the options and then try to do an Archive and Install but when it gets to the screen with the Hard Drive icon it shows the Hard Drive icon with the Exclamation point in the yellow color. If I select options it tells me I have to erase the hard drive and do a fresh install of OS X.
I have also tried the install by booting into OS X and then selecting the OS X DVD icon and going through the same steps.
I have used Disk Utility and done both a verify and verify permissions but no errors at all are found. One odd issue is when I hold down the Option key at bootup it actually lists my internal hard drive twice. It appears everything is fine. Disk Utility finds now errors, shows it has the GUID partition table, and is formatted with OS X Journaled.
What started all of this is a couple weeks ago I started having Wi-Fi issues. Anywhere I connect to Wi-Fi it connects with the signal but I don't have internet. I'm not able to use Firefox, Safari, or Apple Mail. I posted earlier about this but was unable to fix this problem so eventually went to the Apple Genius Bar. They thought it was a simple issue and tried a couple procedures to renew IP or something like that and restoring some files. After none of that worked the guy then said it's something deeper in the OS and a Archive & Install is the best way to solve it.
When he tried this though it didn't work. He did a Verify in Disk Utility and found some hard drive errors so corrected them. Once this was done he did another Archive & Install and ran into the same problems I encountered.
Of course I'm still having this issue. His suggestion was to do the erase and said to first plug in my Time Machine Hard Drive, Do a Backup now, do the erase on the Hard Drive and reinstall Leopard, then he said Time Machine should prompt me to restore or something like that and will copy over all my stuff, documents, itunes music, dock settings, desktop, etc. Basically everything to put my computer back to where it was before. Now I do have a SuperDuper backup but since this is a mirror of the internal hard drive he said it would likely copy the problem back to my internal hard drive.
Is there a way to possibly do an archive & install? I prefer to go this route but don't know why it won't let me do it. If not, would the above suggested option with Time Machine solve this problem and would I lose any settings or data?
Another option I may try is I have Leopard on the Machine but have bought Snow Leopard. I haven't done the upgrade because one program I have, PGP, is not Snow Loepard compatible until the next version comes out. Since I haven't used PGP yet if necessary I am willing to uninstall it and install Snow Leopard but i'm not sure if the Snow Leopard upgrade will work and solve the Wi-Fi issue.

i have read various threads about this but can't find a cure, here is what's happening:
1) Was running disk utility and said i have a corrupted disk
2) OSX runs fine but i can't reboot into startup disk in order to repair disk
3) Can only boot into OSX now by holding down Option key and selecting OSX
4) Can't use this method to boot into install disk or external drive.
Remedies, I have done the following:
1) Repaired permissions
2) SMC reset
3) PRAM reset
4) Wont allow me to safe boot
5) Won't allow me to boot from install disk
6) Won't install SL disk to try and repair install
