Can't install Mavericks 10.9.3 on 27" iMac 14,2 late 2013

I have the following Apple Macs:
iMac 27" 14,2 late 2013
MacBook Air 11" 6,1
Mac Mini Server 2012
All are running Mavericks. #2 and #3 happily installed the update 10.9.3, but the iMac goes through the motions, reboots and then is still on 10.9.2. No errors listed, just doesn't get installed.
I tried to repeat the attempted install, by closing all programs first and disabling every security program (I use Intego), but no change.
Any suggestions?
Incidentally I came across a similar thread with 10.9.2 where the OP re-installed Mavericks and then the upgrade worked. If I was to re-install Mavericks, will I loose any apss or data??

Click here and install it manually.

  • How I Managed to Install Windows 8.1 Pro on an iMac 27-inch, Late 2013

    As is typical with many of my Boot Camp installs, this one did *not* goes as smoothly as planned. This installation was particularly troublesome, so I thought I would share how I managed to set up Boot Camp on a brand new iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) using a Windows 8.1 Pro DVD and an external Apple SuperDrive. These are the steps I took:
    Download Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1721)
    Copy Boot Camp Support Software to empty MS-DOS (FAT)-formatted USB key
    Run Boot Camp Assistant and select third option only (Install Windows 7 or later version)
    Computer would reboot after Boot Camp Assistant finished but would boot back into Mac environment and not continue Windows installation
    Boot computer holding down option key and select Windows (with DVD icon) and go through initial setup process (could go as  far as trying to format Boot Camp partition as NTFS and then got stuck)
    Quit Windows installer and reboot computer holding down option key and select EFI Boot
    Run Windows installer
    These same steps worked for another iMac (same model) that I set up later the same day.

    Note: These types of discs or activities are not supported by DVD or CD sharing:
    DVD movies.
    Audio CDs.
    Copy protected discs such as game discs.
    Install discs for an operating system such as Microsoft Windows (for use with Boot Camp), or Mac OS X.
    Burn a CD or DVD

  • Can I play Call of Duty Ghosts on my iMac (21,5" late 2013) with Windows 7 and Parallels

    Hey there,
    I Have an iMac 21,5" 8GB RAM 1024MB 2,9Ghz. I buyed it in Feburary. I want to play Call of Duty Ghosts on my iMac i use Win7 with Parallels. I don't know if it works? I already have Skyrim and Fifa 14 and they work very well. So I want to ask you if i could play CoD Ghosts without any problems.
    p.s. I dont really want to use Bootcamp only when ther is no other option.
    Thank you

    The simple answer is yes. As long as the computer meets the minimum system requirements.
    The long answer is....maybe.
    Parallels is a Virtual Machine for Windows, meaning that it runs on the Mac OS X Software. Bootcamp repartitions your HD and utilizes just the Mac's Hardware to run Windows using its own OS system files.
    If you have 2 games already that run in Parallels right now with no issues, then I don't see why this new game would not work. However if it does not, you may want to consider a Bootcamp parition in order to keep your Windows and Mac OS X partitions separate in the event of any OS problems.
    Good luck!

    Try this:
    From the Finder's Go menu, choose Computer:
    Double-click your hard disk icon. It is usually named "Macintosh HD":
    Look for this folder:
    If it appears in that window, drag it to the Trash.

  • Hi, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please help.

    Hello all, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please advise. Thank you.

    Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
    Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.

  • Can't install Mavericks...

    OK, here's a weird one...
    I can't install Mavericks on my 2012 MacBook Air (29GB free) - "Macintosh HD" is being used for Time Machine backups.
    Huh?
    Any clues/fixes gratefully received!

    Where do you find the Backups.backupdb folder?
    If you're having that problem, it will be in the "root of the hard drive", which is the top-level of the drive, the folder you see when you open the volume itself.
    I found it on my external drive, and deleted it there (in the trash too using the option key), and now i have no backup of my system and no mavericks.
    You shouldn't have needed to do that.  The problem only occurs if a Backups.backupd folder exists on the volume where you intend to install Mavericks.  If your backups are really gone, I wouldn't even try to install Mavericks until you can create another backup set.

  • Help Can't Install Maverick "disk doesn't use the GUID Partition-"

    I have an imac and i'm using bootcamp fro windows 8.  so I have Macintosh HD and BOOTCAMP Partitions. both partition have Master Boot Record as the Partition Scheme.  When trying to install OS X Mavericks it rell me that "This disk doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme. ..." it tells me to use Disk Utility to select the disk ->partition -> select Volume Scheme and then Options... but option is grayed out... I can not change it and so can not install Mavericks... how do I solve the this issue without losing any data in mac and in windows? without deleting partitions if possible?
    thanks

    GUID is a drive map layout. You can only change it by opening Disk Utility, highlighting the physical drive and choosing the Partition tab. Then change the partition layout to anything other than Current. The Options button below that will then be active and you can then finally change the drive map from whatever it is now to GUID.
    Note that since you must repartition the drive, you WILL lose everything on all partitions. So you MUST back up everything FIRST to another drive. This can be a clone to another physical drive, internal or external. When you clone it back after repartitioning, the drive map does not change.
    To check your current drive layout, open Disk Utility and click on the physical drive you want to install Mavericks on. Example:
    Then look at the lower right of Disk Utility's box. If you see anything other than GUID Partition Table, as shown below, then you must repartition the drive.
    The other main problem is that you have to have another drive to boot to before you can change the one that needs to be repartitioned. Clone your current drive to another physical drive, not another partition on the same drive. Once the clone is complete, boot to that drive and you'll be able to repartition the drive you need to change.

  • Can not install OEM Windows 7 64 bit on iMac 24"

    I have a late 2006 iMac 24" white. I have installed Lion with Boot camp 4.0. I am attempting to install Windows 7 64 bit OEM. At Step 3 "Install Windows" of the Installation and Setup Guide the system does not start the Windows 7 installer. Please Help!

    I found another thread about running Windows 7 64 Bit on systems other than in a list provided by Apple. I ran the suggested Terminal Command with the following result:
    george-halls-imac:~ georgehall$ ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi
        | |   "firmware-abi" = <"EFI32">
    Does this mean that I can not run 64 Bit Windows 7 on my system? Do I need to upgrade the firmware? Can I change this parameter and get the system to boot the Windows 7 install disk?

  • Can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac from CD

    I can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac I just purchased. The software is brand new, the CD appears to read fine. The instillation "on-screen" instructions are not popping up. I have had the software a minute, purchased it new but was waiting till I could afford an iMac. Any suggestions?

    How are you using a CD with a new imac? They haven't had disc drives in years.
    Try downloading from here and use the serial number from your boxed version:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
    However, there are a couple of other things to try. First of all, PSE 9 has both mac and windows discs. If the disc doesn't mount on the desktop, then you've got the wrong one. Go get the other one and when it appears on the desktop, double click it.  Then double click Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, double click Install/Setup (can't remember which it was for PSE 9, sorry). There is no automatic install for PSE for mac, since macs have no autoplay function for security reasons, and there isn't any window with instructions, either. You just keep double clicking till it installs.

    Thank you very much for your help. Now, I was able to install the update (Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5, Mac). But I couldn’t mark the answer as correct. I didn’t find the „correct“ button.

    OK, here's the Windows version of the update:
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5
    and for Mac:
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5
    Of course, ignore the idiotic recommendation that appears there to try to use Help > Updates.  We already know that doesn't work.

  • Can I install Tiger in my NEW 21.5" iMac ?

    Can I install Tiger on my NEW 21.5" iMac ?
    Machine bought new - Nov. '09.
    While I do like some of the features in Snow Leopard... almost all my existing software plus the Sims 2
    games will apparently NOT run (or run well).

    Rosetta does exactly that. It was created to run MacOS X programs that only ran on PPC macs to run on intel processors. Rosetta would translate PPC machine instructions into intel instrucions on-the fly.
    Classic Mode was a whole separate operating system. Rosetta merely translates PPC to intel so it is generally invisible to the user.
    I have used Quicken '05, iMovie HD, AppleWorks and Microsoft Office under Rosetta with no issues. Photoshop 7 was the only program I have that choked and would not run. I would guess that the Sims program would be most likely to not run. They might have an intel update available, I know that Zoo tycoon 2 had a patch to allow for intel processers, The Sims might, too.
    Some programs have "fat binaries" with both versions. If you are curious, you can see whether you are running intel or PPC-translated by using the activity monitor.
    You don't need to run Rosetta separately, if it is needed it turns itself on, so the programs install normally. In fact, some programs needed Rosetta just to run the installer, the actual software ran on the intels.
    I think I have the same machine as you, I just bought my new 21.5" iMac last month. I love it by they way, a DVD that would have taken all night to burn was done in a little over an hour!
