Having trouble installing mavericks on a second partitiion

I have an older 2009 MBP that has been running Mavericks for a while now. I erased the drive and loaded Leopard to run a few programs. I created a partition for Mavericks and for Yosemite. I can't seem to get Mavericks to open on the second partition to install. The error I get its , "not supported by this architecture.
Am I doing something wrong? I thought you could load a boot drive by pressing command R when starting up the Mac.

When you formatted the hard drive, were you sure to use HFS+ GUID? Apple Partition Map will not work, neither with NTFS, FAT32, or ExFAT.
Note Mac Pro is a desktop tower, whereas MacBook Pro is a notebook.

Having trouble installing mavericks due to damaged disk

having trouble installing mavericks due to damage disk.

Same here. I tried loading Mavericks on an early 2008 iMac. Apple Care says the failure is due to a bad hard drive. Even though I was not experienceing any problems prior to installing Mavericks. I’m skeptical. I must now take the iMac to Apple for repair.

Anyone having trouble installing mavericks?

When I click Install App on the app store site, nothing happens.

I installed it successfully on two MacBook Pros but when I try it on my iMac a little progress wheel spins for about a second but no download starts. I've cleared the cache on Safari, run disk repair to repair permissions, and restarted but no luck. I got the wheel to sping for about 4 seconds once but still not download.
i'm going to try logging out of the app store and back in to see if that helps.

Having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks

I am having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks.
I know that iMovie HD works with Mavericks because we are using it on other Macs successfully. However, those machines were upgraded starting with OS 10.6. In other words, iMovie HD was installed on these Macs when the Macs had Snow Leopard.
When I use the iLife 06 disc, I am presented with “You can't open the application “iLife 06” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
I understand that iMovie HD is universal, not PowerPC. How can I get past this to install iMovie HD.
Thanks

OK, I made some progress.
I used Pacifist (Shareware) to open the iMovie HD 6 install packages from the iLife '06 installer DVD (iMovie.pkg and iMovieThemes_Tiger.pkg) and let Pacifist install them to the right places.
But doesn't iMovie HD 6 require QuickTime 7 to work ?

Having trouble installing an HDD.

Just bought a Seagate 7200.8 HDD from Fry's and am having trouble installing it. The drive is SATA.
I've enabled the SATA in bios and also enabled the SATA DMA transfer. I put the drive in and Windows detects it. It shows up in device manager under the disk drives setting. However it does not show up under My Computer so that I can format it. Also the safely remove hardware icon is appering in my system tray for the HDD. I am completely confused.
This is my first SATA drive install so I don't know if i missed a step or did something wrong.
It appears in the bios on IDE channel 4.
One thing I am not sure about is in device manager under the general tab for the drive it's location is listed as "Location 0 (Secondary ATA Channel) which I know cannot be right. That is where my DVD burner is on my second IDE channel.
I am totally lost.
Anybody have any idea what is messing me up.
Thanks in advance.

In the properties of the Taskbar. Right Click in the Taskbar, choose properties then click in Hide inactive icons so it be ticked the click in the Customize button search for the Safely Remove Hardware icon and choose Always Hide from the Dropdown list....that's it.
PS: Np...You're always welcome...
Be well....

I am having trouble installing Lion on a partitioned hard drive. Help?

Aloha:
I am having trouble installing Lion on a partitioned hard drive
I have three internal HD's The first I am running the system on 10.6.8 (which is up to date) , the second I do most of my work on and the third I have partitioned into two and I am trying to install Lion on one of the patitions.
But Lion has decided it will only go on the first HD.
Above is the one I want to put it on, but it's not available and I can't change the partition scheme. None of the things the directions state are usable??
What might I be doing wrong?
Thanks
Dan Page

Thanks again for a rapid responce.
I finally got lion on one partition and my daily "SilverKeeper" backup on the other.
Since the only thing I had on the two partition Hard drive was the back up and since the backup would get put on tonight any way I changed the drive to no partitions. This gave me the ability to choose the GUID option, which I did and then I installed two partitions and successfuly istalled Lion on one of them. I even tied Lion into the iCloud successfuly.
But I am not out of the woods yet! I brought My brand new iPad to lunch and was informed that my iPad was synced to my Lion at home and I was on the cloud. That blew my mind, I was impressed.
I then read the Daily news with out problem, however, when I shut down my iPad, that was all she wrote. I can not get the iPad back on. The best I could do was see the revolving gear start and then freeze. It's on charge now and I can not even get rid of the frozen gear.
Not sure this all has anything to do with the recent installation on my main computer, but it's mighty suspicious.
Need some help!!
Thanks
Dan

I'm having trouble instaling a printer driver for my Canon MG5220. I downloaded the latest printer driver from the Canon website (10.67.1.0) and installed it on my Intel iMac. It said the installation was sucessful, but when I try to add a printer, no go.

I'm having trouble instaling a printer driver for my Canon MG5220. I downloaded the latest printer driver from the Canon website (10.67.1.0) and installed it on my Intel iMac. It said the installation was sucessful, but when I try to add a printer, no go. The printer does'nt show up. I'm fairly new to the Mac, after switching from windows. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Hold down the option key and select
 ▹ System Information...
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, select
Hardware ▹ USB
from the list on the left. On the right you should now see a list of all connected USB devices, as well as some built-in components. Is the device shown?

Having trouble installing Adobe Reader 8, know it's outdated, job requires it. System is Windows 7

having trouble installing Adobe Reader 8, know it's outdated, job requires it. System is Windows 7 Home Premium. Thank you.

You may see if there are solutions in this old thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3063830
Although that combination isn't supported, many people have made it work.
Why would a job require Reader 8? All older files are compatible with newer versions. Or at least they should be.

Having trouble installing Photoshop Elements 13. [was: I wonder if somehow I might have went to Creative cloud because something crossed my screen, but I am not used to doing this so]

I could really use Customer Service help. I received Photoshop Elements as a gift for Christmas...I waiting until i got a new laptop so that I could use that as i was having trouble with older computer. However, I am having trouble installing the software...I swear the dvd added the programs, and I saw them in files explorer i think, but then I cannot find or I was not even able to add the serial number to my knowledge, because it was blank...no keystrokes were shown...and i don't see the program anywhere...Could I have down something wrong and it is somewhere in the cloud?

Thank you. That's what I first thought that I didn't need to do anything
but install from the dvd drive. However after the agreement, it asks me to
sign in at adobe. (Sorry, I'm a little tired of looking at this right
now)...I'll try again tomorrow.
There is no one that I see how to start using the program as I must sign
in. However, I have never been able to get the number to your firm. Or get
the correct number... I think I clicked on a learning tutorial or browsed
Adobe's website to learn more, but got caught up in all the details.
I never uninstalled virus protection to run it because I thought that it
would ask. I'll try again tomorrow I am frustrated. Thank you for your
patience. I appreciate it totally. It's really sad cause I really wanted to
create. I have wanted this for a very long time and I can't believe how
difficult this has been. It would be really nice to know what is really
wrong. I must not be seeing something or I've done something.

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro?

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5?

Thanks for your help here is what I did so far!
I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it, I've tried restarting my browser, then my MacBook Pro without any success!
When I click on the Apple in the upper left hand corner and open System Preferences I can see Adobe Flash Player on the bottom under the Other section.
If I open Adobe up and check the version it tells me that I have the most recent version!
I even uninstalled Adobe and installed the newest Beta version, but Adobe is still not working! If I check for the latest version it tells me that I do have the latest beta version, but it still doesn't work!
If the person who made the video used any other video player it works!
Their player, plays the video without a problem!
