Can't instal original disks on macbook 2,1

In order to make a clean install on a macbook 2,1 late 2007 I made a erase of the hard disk from the original instalation disk (The grey one). formated HD GUID, HFS+ journaled all ok
after that tried to instal the system back but I get "Mac os x cannot be installed on this computer running the original grey disk osx 10.5" after choosing language
the disks ARE the original disks. Also tried the CPU drop in DVD that came with the computer but it states that it needs a previous version in order to update.
The firmware update was done previous (a long time) to erasing the HD
The installation log  reads:
localhost LCA[67]: folder manager is being asked to create a folder (cach) while running as uid 0
localhost LCA[67]: folder manager is being asked to create a folder (asav) while running as uid 0
localhost osinstaller [147]: installation checks failed.
any clues why original disks will not install in my macbook? it does not seem ot be a disk physical problem as the failure seems to come from the installation check
Thanxxxxxxxx!!!

That is the drop-in DVD...

Disk 2 2Z691-6023-A

  • Can't install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro MC700 - 3 beeps after installer starts.

    can't install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro MC700 - 3 beeps after installer starts (10.6.3 retail). Lion installer starts normally. What's a problem?

    I have the same trouble, I try installing rEFI but when I try start my Pro from DVD doesn't recognize.
    Can I start from USB Memory? with files from SL DVD? or have some thing else?
    I have original DVD of SL 10.6.3, if I buy the latest stable version, can I install? or the EFI firmware with Lion change again?
    I try to use Lion, more than one week but I can't, and some app that I use for my profession, doesn't work, I really need downgrade to SL.
    Really Thanks for any help.

  • How can i install iwork dvd in Macbook Air?

    Somebody know how can i install iwork dvd in Macbook Air? I try to use the CD compartment from my Macbook pro, but it don't work... tks

    First, share your MB pro DVD drive on the network in System Preferences > Sharing.
    Insert the iWork DVD into the MBpro's drive.
    Then go to your MBair and click "Remote Disc" in the Finders Sidebar.
    You'll see your MBpro listed in the finder window.  Click the arrow next to The MBpro name and you'll see the shared DVD.  Double click that and the installation process should begin.

  • Can't install windows xp on macbook air

    Hi,
    I have posted already on the forum about 1 month ago or more and no one answered me, so trying again.
    How can I install windows xp on my macbook air?
    I have an original xp sp2 disk and a generic external dvd burner with usb.
    I have tried many times with bootcamp, but when I get the information (with disk utility info) of my xp 2 disk it says its not bootable.
    Do you think its my disk or my external dvd burner that can't boot?
    Should I get a super drive for it to work? Is there an other way for my mac to boot the disk at startup?
    Anyone please have any answer on how they installed windows xp.

    Yes.
    I have seen this page many many times already.
    I know it is not supported by apple. But it must be possible. I read about people with MBA's getting xp on them.
    My windows xp sp2 cd should at least be bootable? Its an original with the flashy 3D genuine design on it.
    I have installed Win 7 previously, but with a usb stick. I can't have a 20gb OS on my 64gb MBA drive.
    I hope you can understand better my problem.
    Thank you.

  • [Ubuntu] Can't install Ubuntu on my MacBook Air.

    I want to install Ubuntu on my MacBook Air. Problem : each time the DVD-RW burning ends, the disc becomes unreadable. How can I install Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits on a MacBook Air late 2011 still with OS X Lion ?
    Hi there.
    I have a MacBook Air late 2011 still working with OS X Lion (actually OS X 10.7.4).
    I just wanted to install Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits on my MacBook Air but I can't and I don't know why. The problem I encounter is the following : each time the DVD-RW burning ends, the disc becomes unreadable by the system and I can't do anything but erase it and try to burn it again… This is the fourth time I did it and it still doesn't works. Impossible to burn the DVD-RW without making it unreadable by the system. And I checked Bootcamp Assistant options but there's nothing about Linux…
    I use an original Apple's superdrive to burn the disc.
    A friend just told me to use Bootcamp Assistant, install Windows 7 on a new partition, then replace Windows 7 with Ubuntu… But I don't really know what to do. This is the first time that I try to install another system…
    Could anyone help me ? Thanks.

    I finally did it. In fact, if the DVD wasn't readable by OS X after the burning, he was readable by rEFIt on the superdrive. Me (OS X Lion 4 on a MacBook Air late 2011) and a friend (OS X Mountain Lion 1 on a MacBook Pro of 2008) did it this way :
    1. Download the Ubuntu iso named "ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso".
    2. Burn it on a blank DVD with the disk utility.
    3. Make a partition for Ubuntu with the disk utility.
    4. Install rEFIt.
    5. Restart the Mac.
    6. Select the icon of Tux behind a little disc.
    7. Try Ubuntu from the disc.
    8. While trying Ubuntu on the disc, use the installer to install Ubuntu. NOTE: NE CAREFUL WHILE INSTALLING UBUNTU, IF YOU CHOOSE THE WRONG OPTION AT A MOMENT OF THE INSTALLATION YOU CAN ERASE OS X.
    9. After the installation, Ubuntu should tell you that you might restart the computer. Restart the Mac, and you'll arrive on the rEFIt menu.
    10. You can now use Ubuntu on your Mac, enjoy.
    We both did it and it worked well, I even reinstalled Ubuntu and it worked well again. Just be careful while installing Ubunut, I'll maybe repeat myself but choosing the wrong option could suppress OS X. Except if you just want a MacBook Air with Ubuntu for the weight… Have a nice day.

  • Can't install OSX on a MacBook??

    I'm trying to help one of my students. He purchased a MacBook (white) from his neighbor and asked me to install the software that belongs to the computer. The computer did not come with any of the original disks and it seems that it has been erased. I can't get it to start up and when I've tried to install the software using a set of MacBook disks that I have, but I keep getting a message that says that "I can't install the software on this computer". I've run the Disk Utilities that comes with the disk, but I can't seems to find too many options.
    I don't have any idea what to do now and I feel bad about his computer. I've tried to see what's on the computer by using the Target Disk mode and so far I can't see anything on the computer. Like I said...I think it was erased completely. The computer seems to be pretty new, but that is all I have about it.
    Please help!!! I really need some expert advice on this matter. Thanks for your help...

    Although you have MacBook install package, the install package that ships with a new Mac purchase is model and build specific with build being the key word so your MacBook install package must be for a different MacBook build and will not work.
    A difficult lesson to learn for those who purchase a used Mac that doesn't include the original install package that shipped with the Mac when new and if older than the current OS X version installed, say an upgrade with Tiger over Panther installed, the Tiger retail install package should also be included with the purchase.
    Several important reasons for this with this particular reason being a very important one. The student may need or want to re-install the OS and all included software via an Archive & Install or an Erase & Install or install a particular application only along with needing the install package to run Disk First Aid repair.
    Since it appears the seller erased the drive which requires the install package that shipped with this Mac when new, your student needs to ask his neighbor where the install package is which is worthless to the neighbor without the Mac model and build it is intended for.
    If not, contact AppleCare to request a replacement install package for this Mac model and build.

  • Can't install Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro - DVD won't mount

    I am unable to install Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro as the DVD won't mount.  This is an early 2008 vintage MacBook Pro, intel core duo...
    I'm using a OS X Snow Leopard install DVD (family licensed).  This DVD has been used to install 3 other Macs in my house without a problem (about a year ago), but cannot be used to upgrade my MBP.  Actually, this disk mounted on the MBP exactly once - inserted with system up, the disk mounted.  Upon running the installed (a year ago), the computer restarted but hung in boot.  After getting the disk ejected and the computer restarted, the disk would never mount again.  I've defered upgrade for a year but at this point need to upgrade my MBP at least to Snow Leopard and possibly Lion.
    The problem doesn't seem to be with the DVD, since it continues to mount fine in other computers, and in fact a borrowed Snow Leopard DVD also will not mount on the MBP.
    BUT ... the problem also does not seem to be with the optical drive in my computer, as it can read & mount the install/restore disks that came with the computer as well as other CDs and DVD ROMs.  Only the Snow Leopard install DVDs fail to mount.
    I've also tried mounting the 10.6 install DVD on my Mac Pro desktop, making it available over the network (ethernet) with DVD/CD sharing.  I can mount the remote disk from my MBP that way, but when I launch the installer, the application launches (its own menus are displayed, I can quit from menu, for example) but does nothing -- no windows open, nothing.
    I've also tried "Remote Install" (again with the DVD made available with the Remote Install MacOS X application on my desktop), but when I boot the MBP with option held down, the remote disk is not available as a startup disk.
    Zapping the PRAM did not help.
    Am off to the store to get an optical drive cleaning kit and a blank DVD big enough to burn a new disk image, but would appreciate any further ideas at this point....

    Solution that worked: Copy the Install DVD to a USB flash drive and boot from that.

  • Can I install Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro 2013

    Can I install Snow Leopard on my new MacBook Pro 2013. I'm so tired of the UGLY grey icons. I keep thinking that the mail or iPhoto window is not the active one because everything is grey.  I use Snow Leopard on my 27inch iMac and love it. Nice RED delete button for mail, etc. Thanks

    Firmware restrictions prevent directly loading any OSX earlier than what came with the system.
    The *only* way around is to load SnowLeopard *Server* (not Client) into a virtual machine (Parallels, VMWare Fusion, VirtualBox).  But that costs $20+shipping/tax for the disk and is a learning curve into SL Server.  And you *still* need your host OSX to run it, and the VM will not most efficiently use the hardware resources.

  • Can't install Snow-Leopard on Macbook pro (Midd 2010)

    Hi there,
    i have i big problem, i can't install a retail-version from snow-leopard (Version 10.6) on my Macbook pro.
    Follow Situation: yesterday i get the Developer-Preview from Lion and install it onto my productiv-system. Not a good idea, i know, but i have a backup and will back to Snow Leopard. So, i try to start the Retail-Version DVD and she start, but only to the gray Apple-Symbol. Then they stop and don't go away.
    I try to reset the PRAM, the SMC, no result. I try to start the installation from a USB-Image, same result. I try to start the installation from another harddisk/partition, the same result.
    When i press cmd-v at the start i can read, that they stop after the load from the extensions.kext.
    I have a Problem, a big Problem, i know. But what can i do?

    You will need to use the system disk that shipped with your unit, the build is most likely different then the one on the retail version
    Then after it is installed- you can use the migration assistant to import your data from your backup.

  • How can I install Windows 7 on Macbook Pro 17' (2009 model)?

    I cannot Install, neither enter on the setup screen.
    When I go to Bootcamp (3.0.1) and do everything then at the end when it says to done & restart my Macbook Pro 17' Inch (2009 model (MacbookPro 5,2)).
    I get into a white screen (bootscreen) then it goes into a blackscreen. I am in the Setup screen because I hear my DVD reading when I press enter.
    When I restart I get back to the Windows Setup but to enter back to Mac OS X I had to reset my PRAM and NVRAM.
    Pease help ?

    Let me get this - because the title misled me as to what you are asking, ie:
    I cannot Install, neither enter on the setup screen.
    When I go to Bootcamp (3.0.1) and do everything then at the end when it says to done & restart my Macbook Pro 17' Inch (2009 model (MacbookPro 5,2)).

    When I restart I get back to the Windows Setup but to enter back to Mac OS X I had to reset my PRAM and NVRAM.
    Does the above really tell the story?
    The issue isn't "How can I install Windows" but more like "I am trying to get past " an issue with Boot Camp 4.01.
    Some people that already had BC 4.x installed had trouble after March's "Patch Tuesday" which was a critical number of security patches and updates. They had to rollback, uninstall an update/driver, before they could move forward.
    The trouble with "had to zap pram to get back to Mac OS" is more to do with the health of the partition table and nvram, and you could try using both Windows control panel to set the default OS, and set Startup Disk control panel in Mac OS (click OFF the volume name, then back to the volume, too).
    Sometimes there are problems with 3rd party NTFS for OS X that people use as well.
    Boot into Lion Recovery - that should be first step if there are problems with Mac, and you don't sound like you tried boot Windows DVD (which I asked above, which can fix errors).

  • Can't install System on to MacBook

    Just replaced the Hard Drive in my MacBook. When I booted up from the Install disk I get a message that I can't install System 10.4.8 on this computer. In disk utilities I was able to set up new HD and ran diagnositics and it comes up fine. But HD does not show up on desktop. I also tried to boot up from Disk Warrior, tech Tool, and ann older System Version, 10.3 but they wouldn't even boot. HD was HIT0A28844,160GB 2.5" Hitachi Travelstar 5K160 5400RPM SATA Notebook Drive with 8MB Cache.

    HI
    10.3 won't boot since it's not compatible with the MacBook, and, depending on the age of the DiskWarrior and TechTool disks, the same may apply there.
    Is the drive currently empty? When you boot from the install disk, go through the installation steps until you get to select the internal drive as the destination. Do you see the drive in the list? What does the message say? Click on Options and see if you can select a different install option (eg Erase and Install).

  • Can't install osx on 2009 macbook pro

    Hey guys i'm haveing a nightmare getting osx reinstalled on my macbook pro, firstly i have no experance with mac's but have always wanted too so when offered this macbook pro i snapped it up even with a dead HDD thinking it to be a very easy fix, so replaced the drive with a new one and still can't install osx
    anyway here's whats going on, i booted the macbook with the instalation dvd it loads up as it should but when you get to the select drive part nothing is there so googled a few things and found the drive has to be set-up first so entered disk utility to partition and format the drive but get an error with whatever i do, i have removed and reseated the HDD cable and memory and have tried booting with only one stick to see if there was an error with one of the sodimm's, i have also tried accessing the AHT but none of the ways i have found work............ please if anyone can help me, please let me know

    Thanks for the reply mate, sorry to say i have tried every option in disk util i've even tied a couple of terminal commands to do the same thing with no luck, i have however been able to remove the partition but that's where the good news ends as i can't create a new one..... is there anyway to prep the disk in windows? as i don't have an external case or another mac?
    also what are the chances of the HDD cable being at fault? after more googeling i found someone with the same sort of problem's as me and he ended up replacing the cable http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/237964-cant-partition-brand-new -hard-drive.html unfortunatly i don't have an apple store anywhere near me so thats not an option but it's something i could do myself, the only problem is i don't have the £18 for a new one right now as i've had to buy a HDD and charger as well as the macbook and it's left me a little skint lol
