I bought a new iMac and have tried to install Xcode three times and won't work, keep getting an error message. Does anyone have this problem?

    It would be helpful to tell us the error message.

    an error occurred while extracting files from the package "mzm.iyofpska.pkg"

    and then when I click retry,

    The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again.

    Has anyone come across this? or know the solution?

    Maybe either restart and if that doesn't work, let apple know and exchange for another?

    I sold my MPB and now I have a fresh out the box iMac from the Apple Store here in the UK. Lion is installed. (there is no previous verion of anything installed, fresh out the box says it all)
    I have a paid dev account, and I can't install Xcode 4.1.1, it downloads and when its about to install I get an error message,

    an error occurred while extracting files from the package "mzm.iyofpska.pkg"

    When I click retry,

    The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again.

    Clearly thats not the problem and this has nothing to do with iTunesHelper, I have tried to quit it, I have followed all that stuff, restart/shutdown and still nothing.

    Just would like to know if anyone has bought a new mac and tried to download Xcode? or if anyone has come across this problem? Have a solution?

    (I have asked on the apple forums and no one answers) so thought I'ed ask here because without this Xcode I can't do anything with GameSalad at the moment :(

    Are you downloading from https://developer.apple.com or the MAS?
  • VGXVGX Member Posts: 796
    I went to https://developer.apple.com but when you click the link it takes you to the MacAppStore anyway. You can only download it from the MacAppStore since its free now.

    Paid Dev accounts don't get any special treatment. Its one program for all

    Don't know what to do now. My game is almost complete and I can't do any testing or submit because I can't download it :(

    If you are just needing the viewer and code signing etc maybe you could try with the beta of 4.2 from developer.apple.com but that could just make things worse...

    I don't like these Beta stuff they just full of bugs (can just about put up with GameSalad)

    Are you running Lion or Snow Leopard?
  • Rob2Rob2 Member Posts: 2,402
    Do you get an installer package from the MAS or does the installation of Xcode proceed unattended once you have klicked 'free' ?

    have you tried redownloading it from the mac app store? sounds like your download is corrupted.

    Ah... Lion...

    This is one of the many reasons why I still run Snow Leopard. I don't have to go through the Mac App Store to get it. (It won't let me either. Lion is required.) There was a download link for Xcode on Snow Leopard.

    I now have iMac with OSX Lion.

    When I go to https://developer.apple.com to download Xcode the link takes me to the MacAppStore to download it from there. There is no install file in Applications folder, just downloads straight from the AppStore (3.17GB) then when its about to install I get that error message

    You would think that a company like Apple would have fixed this issue by now

    My GameSalad project file just sitting there waiting for Xcode to man up

    It's a shot in the dark, but have you tried going into "Launchpad" and looking for the icon that says "Install Xcode", and installing from there?
  • VGXVGX Member Posts: 796
    FINALLY! 5 attempts to download and install. All I did was shake the screen and swear at it and it worked. Happy days!

    There wasn't anything in LaunchPad or Applications/Downloads folder. But I got it to work now after the 5th download attempt, 3.17GB thats over 15GB I have downloaded in 24 hours.
