Hello -
No program, not the Software Installer from the Apple drop-down menu, nor any other program that evokes an installer is working. The installer gets to the last stage, actually installing the software just downloaded, and hangs. The progress bar never actually animates. Programs that install via drag-n-drop are OK.
This is getting serious. Cannot install any critical updates from Apple, can'g get the latest versions of any programs I've paid good money for, and some of them I must do because I am running Lion.
I have verified the disk, and repaired permissions, to no avail. Here are the vitals
Lion 10.7.4
MacBook Circa 2008
6GB Memory
~ 119GB left on HD out of 320GB
Both HD and RAM are ~ 2 years old
Your help is very much needed and will be very much appreciated. I do have a recent back-up via Time Machine, and am currently also backing up critical files manually to an external drive. The only hardware problem I have had previously was having to replace the SuperDrive, under AppleCare. But, I'm beginning to have a bad feeling, in that LibreOffice is refusing to load (first time), and I think (I know I'm now paranoid, so could be imagining) other programs are acting a little strange too...not as responsive. I previously updated to Lion electronically, can't remember how long ago, but not right away, so I don't have it on DVD, although I do have the latest TechTool Pro. Don't want to start mucking around with that until I get some knowledgeable advice. Please send the cavalry!
Thanks!
