HT4718 infinite loop error installing lion internet recovery "Install Mac OS X" window. " Install Failed Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer - Restart"

Hi all,
my macbook pro became extermily slow for some reason, I rebooted it many times and same problem so I decided to reinstall the Mac OS X lion from the internet.
I tried installing lion internet recovery, it downloaded it and restarted. I got the "Install Mac OS X" window. then while installing I got the sad message " Install Failed Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer" and the only botton is "restart". Everytime I restart I gor the same message. Now I am trying to start from the harddisk but I does not show when you start the pc, keep clicking the "alt" botton. It only shows "Mac OS X Installer" and "Recovery HD". What Should I do?
I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Thanks Baltwo.
I could format it and get the back up from time machine but it is not up to date so I want to leave it at last.
I tried to back it up on external hard drive and got an error, tried CCC for back up and error again.
Just wanted to do an update on the subject. Still trying to get it back.

EVERY start-up automatic (?) 'installing update' fails because 'The update could not be installed. ...'

EVERY start-up I have to wait while Firefox says 'installing update' and than 'The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again' while there are no other versions running!

It was due to using an old version of Adobe Air. There really should be a tighly coupled error that either updates Adobe Air for me, or links me to the update. I was only able to find the solution using intuition as a techy.
Now I can install the Muse demo.

Which lion version is installed with internet recovery?

Would very much like to know which version of lion will be on my system when I perform the Lion internet recovery. I assume it downloads the latest build so I do not need to update Lion again. I also assume that there will be no difference in Lion version when I perform an erase and install or just an install over the existing installation.

I just reinstalled Lion yesterday because my Recovery HD wasn't there. 10.7.3 was what was downloaded and installed.
I downloaded about 2 days agao and got the 10.7.2 version. so it now looks like Apple has updated to the .3 version.
I'm glad I have USB thumb drives of the .2 version cause .3 didn't do anything for me except slow down my Mac.

Microsoft Monitoring Agent (AdtAgent) could not be installed.

Hi everyone,
on all of our servers where I install the Microsoft Monitoring Agent and the UR 4 I get this error in the Application EventLog:
Log Name: Application
Source: MsiInstaller
Date: <date time>
Event ID: 11923
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: SYSTEM
Computer: <computername>
Description:
Product: Microsoft Monitoring Agent -- Error 1923. Service '@C:\Windows\system32\AdtAgent.exe,-500' (AdtAgent) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services.
Am I correct that this service is only needed in connection with Audit Collection Services?
We don't use ACS so can we ignore this error or is it possible that any functionality of SCOM (except ACS) will be missing?
Thanks and regards,
Ville

Hi,
You may check operation manager event log, if there is no error message after upgrade, then this event can be ignored.

Update could not be installed

When starting FF 3.68 using quick launch icon, I get this popup before the window loads. I have tried to follow the instructions in this page:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Software+Update+Failed?s=update+could+not+be+installed&as=s
and it still does the same thing.

Try to run Firefox once as Administrator (right-click the desktop shortcut > Run as Administrator).<br />
If that didn't work then do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Update failed...could not be installed (patch apply failed) - I use 7.0.1

Update failed. The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed). It appears to want to upgrade from 7.0.1 to 8. But when I click the link, it does not offer updates, just an entire strip/reinstall! Where is the updates page? Help?

Thank you. I don't want to reload the entire thing - yes, it can be entirely reloaded, but I don't want to lose settings. How do I upload the PATCH as offered?

Stuck in an infinite loop (heh) with Lion recovery

I'm running the Lion Internet recovery to get a fresh install of the OS on one of my systems, but I've hit a snag. Each time I click the "Install" button, I get a dialog box informing me the terms and conditions and Apple privacy policy has changed. It says "Click OK to view," and I do so. Unfortunately, nothing happens at this point. I just see the Lion installer still stalled where it was before. I can click the "Install" button again to be greeted by the same dialog box and click "OK" again, but I can't get further. I moved windows around to see if there is a policy hiding somehwere, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I even thought I might be able to agree to whatever changed if I logged into the Mac App Store on another computer, but I'm not notified of any updated policies when I do this. So, at this point, I'm sitting in front of a Macbook that refuses to let me do a clean Lion install because I can't agree to privacy policy updates it refuses to show me. If it makes any difference, this is an early 2008 white Macbook. What do I do?
UPDATE: I am not using the officially termed "Internet Recovery." I am, in fact, using the Cmd-R method which downloads from the Internet (hence the confusion). Sorry!

It's been deleted. You would need to boot into a Snow Leopard system so you could re-download it from the App Store. If you are able to do this then be sure to quit the installer when the download has finished. Copy the installer to a safe spot on your hard drive. You can make your own bootable DVD or flash drive once you have a copy of the installer: Burning A Lion Boot Disc. Also, see About Lion Recovery.

HT4718 would i be able to use the lion internet recovery since my college uses WPA/WPA2 Enterprise wifi?

would i be able to use the lion internet recovery since my college uses WPA/WPA2 Enterprise wifi? Im confused becasue this exact one is not listed under apples page about os x recovery.

Probably not. You'd need to go somewhere that Internet isn't on a locked-down wireless network.

Lion Internet Recovery does not work

Lion Internet recovery appears to be broken...
On my 27" i5 QC 2010 iMac when to receover via Internet I am unable to do so I tried it using wired networking first and then wireless, same lack of results on both.
I succesfully identify myself with my Apple ID at which point I'm told that changes have been made to license terms and I need to agree to them... no problem, I click on OK to view and agree... nothing happens. No new pop-up allowing me to click on 'agree', eventually the install disk selection un-greys itself and when I click on 'install' I have to got through the same circle of identifying myself and being asked to agree to never appearing new license terms...
Brialliant, yet another Apple failure. My time is money and I did not want to go through the process of re-installing SL, bringing it up to date and then going through AppStore Lion installation... I sure hope I do not get charged another half dozen times for a product I already purchased (like it happened when I initially installed Lion).
Anybody else encounter the same recovery problem? Solutions?

It looks like somebody else did run into the same Apple problem and found the solution...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15829120#15829120
The solution is to go to AppStore on another computer and login with your AppleID. You must then agree to their new terms & conditions. The only way I knew how to do that was to try and install one of the free apps whereupon I was asked for the agreement.
My iMac is now happily downloading the install...

Mac Mini mid 2011 kernel panic with Lion Internet Recovery

My Mac Mini froze while using Safari and watching a youtube video, so I restarted the machine by holding down the power button, then on startup I reloaded Safari, and it completely froze again. This time around, I got a kernel panic on boot. I tried booting into single user mode by holding down the shift key, but that still gave me a kernel panic. So I tried using the Lion Internet Recovery mode by holding down command-option-R when booting. The OS showed the Internet Recovery progress bar, but when it completed and the machine rebooted, I got a kernel panic again.
Is there anything else I can try to recover this machine, or do I need to take it into an Apple store to have them fix it? It's a mid-2011 model, so I don't have a DVD drive in it, so I can't use a boot disc, although I guess I could use a bootable USB, but I don't have another machine to create one with.
I figure if it kernel panics from an Internet Recovery, then that takes my hard drive and anything that was installed on it out of the equation. I've also disconnected all external devices, drives, etc, and only have a monitor and keyboard/mouse attached to it, so that rules out any other devices that might be causing problems.
Thanks for any advice
Adam

Make sure the monitor is plugged in firmly as well as your keyboard/mouse.
Try resetting the PRAM.
Reset your computer’s PRAM
It's less likely to be helpful but if resetting PRAM doesn't help try resetting the SMC.
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If neither of those things work it's probably time to visit the Genius bar.

Lion internet recovery only shows a spinning globe

I had boot camp on OS X Lion, with Windows 7 installed. I decided that I wanted to install a third OS (Linux) so I used the partioning tool in Windows. I made sure that i partitioned the windows hard drive, so it wouldnt effect my mac side. when I re started the macbook, i had no option to boot in the mac side, the icon was gone, even the recovery was gone, so i booted into windows, only to have it give me a blue screen (which dissapeared too fast for me to read) and the the computer re started, and kept doing it over and over. so i popped in my windows 7 disk, and re installed it on the windows partition of the hard drive and when it was installed i installed my boot camp drivers (I had them on a disk) and it asked me to re boot, so i did, only to have it give a blue screen again. so i installed windows yet again, and extracted the drivers from the disk, and only installed them, but i did not install boot camp. so now i am running windows on my computer, without boot camp, and no mac side. now, part 2 of my problem. when i try to use Lion Internet Recovery, it gets to the spinning globe, but does not give me a progress bar. it just shows a spinning globe for hours, and nothing else, until i get tired and just boot into the windows side and deal with windows. when i go into "Computer" in my windows side, it shows the partition of my hard drive (320 GB) which should be my mac side, but it says that there are no files on it, and the full 320 GB is just free space. what can i do to get my mac side back?

MS-6390 and Radeon 9200SE "infinite loop" error

I recently installed a radeon 9200SE PCI graphics card, and after about a week of perfect operation I began getting the "infinite loop" error. I've tried every fix I can find and nothing works, and upgrading my motherboard isnt an option since I can't afford it.
Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this?

tried another pci slot with it?

HT2404 After installing Mountain Lion, I get a message that speechsynthesisserver.app had an error and could not be installed. What does this mean? Also my mouse does not scroll up/down as it did before.

What is speechsynthesisserver.app? Twice I received a message from Mountain Lion that this could not be installed due to an error. Is this significant?

Regarding the scrolling, SYSTEM PREFERENCES>TRACKPAD>SCROLL & ZOOM, uncheck 'Scroll direction: natural.
Ciao.
