Hello, I'm trying to install MAC OS 10.6.3 on a HDD, but when I put the DVD it starts until the Symbols of the Apple and freezes, and not leave this, I tried to start with the"command + v" and is stopped and the fourth line is written:
"MAC Framework successfully initialized
using 16384 buffer headrs and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers
IOAPIC: Version 0x11 Vectors 64:87
ACPI: System State [S0 S3 S4 S5] (S3)".

Crucial M4 SSD MBP "There was a problem installing Mac OS X" Try Reinstalling

So I have an extra ssd. I decide to put it in my MPB mid or late 2009 to give it some extra life.
I am doing a fresh install from a thumb drive. The macbook find the partition and boots into the installer. about 10 seconds into progress bar this appears: "There was a problem installing mac os x" Try reinstalling.
The progress bar goes away.
The thumb drive is good... it installed on my mother's laptop just fine.
I have the ssd in the place of the old Hdd until my adapter comes around to put one of them in the opti bay.
Does anyone have any ideas or has seen this before?

I forgot to mention a fresh mountain lion install. The M4 has latest firmware as of today.

Problem installing Mac OSX on my new MacBook hard drive...

Hi,
i am beside myself again...(i just visited my local Genius bar this afternoon). Any help would be most appreciated! :o)
i purchased a 2.5 inch SATA Fujitsu 120GB laptop hard drive for my new MacBook. Followed the awesome* instructions on "how to replace/upgrade hard drive", and took out the original Toshiba HD. What the instructions* failed to mention was that i would eventually need to use a Torx screwdriver (star-shaped) to remove the caddy/carriage from the Toshiba HD. Got that the next day and replaced the Toshiba 80GB with my new 120GB Fujitsu drive..., it slipped into place nicely but i did notice that the Toshiba had four short wires protruding out to the right of the contacts, which my new Fujitsu didn't have... hmmmm...?!
anyways, tried to install Mac OSX on the new drive, booted up with the install disc... went thru' chosing the language (English), agreed to the second step... but when it came time to install, there was NO icon at all in the box where i am asked where i want to install it!!!
so i go to disk utilities, and see that my Fujitsu HD is indeed recognized, but none of the buttons in first aid are active... so i can't check it.
i figured that had to do with the four little wires, so i replaced the original Toshiba and made a reservation with Genius Bar to ask for assistance.
this afternoon, i explained my problem and was told the four wires have NOTHING to do with it... Lawrence (the genius) told me to (actually, first he said Apple does not recommend my doing this... and that i should go to a 3rd party computer store such as Dino to get help!) go back to disk utilities and partition, then erase this drive and then i will see the icon for this drive in the install box.
Well i did everything i was told to do and... still, there is no icon for my Fujitsu HD! :o(
I was able to partition, after which there was a disc0 under the Fujitsu drive on the left side of the disk utilities. When i go to system profiler, and click on ATA... it too shows the Fujitsu drive... but i cannot install because there is NOTHING to click on at the installation step! the "continue" button is not active and only the "back" button is actively mocking me!!!
i know many of you have successfully upgraded your hard drive... what am i doing wrong? Would a different brand work better? I know Seagate is quite popular, and OWC sells a Western Digital version as well as a Hitachi... do those four little wires make a difference? Would the Seagate come with those wires???
i am going crazy... thanks, and sorry for the long post, just wanted to let you know what i've done!
blue skies,
ps. please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you think that would be better! :o)

Hi,
...after getting back from school, my MacBook was STILL in the process of verifying and "supposedly" repairing... since i was gone for over 10 hours, i finally assumed the drive was either defective or just incompatible, and quit disk utility.
...this morning i went out and bought a new Seagate 120GB SATA (they didn't have 160GB SATA drives, only 160GB ultra-ATA drives) 2.5 inch HD. This one DID have those four wires to the right of the contacts... (i don't know how important they are), and after changing and exchanging the Toshiba/Fujitsu HDs, it was a breeze putting in the new Seagate drive.
Erased > patritioned > and sure enough, the icon showed up and the biggest smile showed up on my face as i finished installing! :o)
I contacted the original seller of my fujitsu hd (it was a 2.5 inch, 120GB, serial ATA notebook drive) and he was kind enough to say "just pack it up and send it back for a refund!" (minus shipping and re-stocking fees of course! :o)
Just wanted to mention that, the fujitsu hd WAS recognized by disk-utility and at the bottom left of the window it said that the fujitsu was "GUID partitioned"..., so i am still scratching my head as to why it didn't work?!
I want to thank everyone that offered advice, it was helpful and i feel more comfortable with my MacBook after this trying and very frustrating episode! :o)
blue skies,

Problem installing Mac 10.4 on Powerbook G4 running Mac Os 10.4.3

Greetings everyone!
I'm having hard time. I have Powerbook G4 1.67GHZ/512MB/15 inch display now running Mac OS 10.4.3. Well, I'm trying to reinstall Mac OS 10.4 by doing clean installation - that is by wiping out all the old files. Eachtime I put Mac OS 10.4 DVD and click on "Install Mac OS X" icon, a Mac OS message "click" on "Restart" button pops up. After clicking "Restart" button, normally the computer restarts, the gray screen appears with that little wheel, it then goes to the blue screen and thats all I see. Just blue screen. Nothing happens. Then I shut down the computer and restart it again while Ejecting the Mac OS 10.4 DVD out of the Computer, and then it starts without any problem and comes back to its original state.
Can you please help me. Thanks.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I don't think the DVD is damaged since it worked fine on my old G4 desktop.
The reason I'm trying to reinstall OS 10.4 is because I have received the computer from a family member with all his files and data in it. I want to get rid of it all and start from scratch for my personal use - if possible. If not, I could settle for less.
I want to explain few issues if that helps. I first tried installing Mac OS 10.3 to my Powerbook running Mac OS 10.4.3. I put OS 10.3 CD, started computer with C key held down, and all that came up was gray screen with 1 inch black line to the left of the Apple logo, and remained there - never making it to the blue screen. I shut of the computer, took the Mac OS 10.3 out of the Powerbook, restarted without the CD, and the computer was back to the desktop.
Then I tried installing 10.4, which goes past the gray screen, and gets stuck in the blue screen. I ejected the 10.4 DVD, and computer was back to normal (to the desktop)
It sounds like you inserted the wrong or a damaged DVD and neither the installation nor erasure took place. In that case, let's get started again on the right foot.
Tell me why you want to erase your hard drive? Were you experiencing some technical issue, and if so what? Let's troubleshoot that situation with the least harmful method.

Problems installing Mac OS X 10.5.7

I know next to nothing about Mac's so any help would be much appreciated.
I recently purchased a copy of SIMS 3.
Initially, It wouldn't let me install the game unless I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5.3
I downloaded this and installed in without any problems. I then installed the game, but it said that in order for everything to run at optimum efficiency- I needed Mac OS X 10.5.7
I proceeded without installing the update but about 30 mins into playing the game crashed- so I thought it would be prudent to go ahead and get the latest version.
I downloaded it, however when I go to install it- I get the following message:
You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.
Can someone PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!! This is starting to do my head in!!! : )

Hi MaxHerrick
1. Using the game disk uninstall the game.
2. Go to Applications Utilities and open Disk Utility then select the Macintosh HD and Repair Disk Permissions. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452
3. Open the link below, download and install the 10.5.7 Combo update:

4. Rerun Repair Permissions in step 2. again.
5. Now install the game.

New MacBook... Problems installing Mac OS X 10.4.6

Hey, if anybody could help me that'd be great.
I ordered a new MacBook online a week back, and it arrived yesterday. I turned it on and a blinking folder with a question mark on it was the only thing I saw.
So I attempted to install Mac OS X 10.4.6, but everytime I do, there is nothing to select when it says "Select Destination Volume for Installation." I've tried many things, but nothing seems to work. Please help!

Problem installing Mac OSX 10.5 on new HDDc

Hello, I needed to replace my HDD and I'm trying to install Leopard on my new blank HDD. I have the install disk that came with my macbook, but it's not working. I insert the install disc and restart the macbook holding down the C key. It starts from the CD. So I choose the language and it gives me message "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. This software annot be installed on this computer" with two options OK, that does nothing, and Restart. My old HDD was the original one, that came with the mac and is broken. The new one is a Samsung SATA 320gb model HM320II/SRA. Reading about the problem in the Apple Support website I found something about updating the firmware, but I'm not sure if it applies to me.
Thanks so much for the help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your 10.5 must look like * unless it was prebundled with your Mac, when you bought it from an Authorized Apple Dealer. You can't use a 10.5 disc that came with another Mac.
Also your machine must be older than the 10.5 disc if it has the image pictured above.
Once you make sure you have the correct disc, be sure to format your new hard disk GUID with the Utilities menu -> Disk Utility -> Partition -> Options button in the installer program. The default format won't allow installation of Mac operating systems.

Problems installing Mac OS X v.10.3

This is for a friends PowerPC G4. Its running v10.2.8 and I have the install discs for v10.3. When I go to install 10.3 I get a message bundled software cannot be installed on this computer.

Dual 2.0 Ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.4)

Hi CoopD!
Here is some additional info.
As Kappy posted, Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
If you know exactly what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some other online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs. As you have discovered, they will not work.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs, and will look like the images in the links above.
Additional info in these links.

Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If the Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
And then use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update.

Additionally,

There was a problem installing "Mac OS X" - Try reinstalling

Hi there,
so, i downloaded Lion and made a copy of the Install pkg to install it on multiple devices.
It worked without any problems on a new Macbook Air, an old aswell as a very old Mac Mini.
However on a 15" MBP i7 with 500GB SSD it completely messed up.
it gave the above error message
Only option was to reboot.
The system hung for 30 mins after which I shut it down.
I then proceeded to make a "clean install" Disk and Stick to reboot.
After booting I went into Diskutility and erased the Harddisk.
Funnily enough after another reboot the same error message came up.
Don'T know what to do.
currently restoring from the time capsule...

I forgot to mention a fresh mountain lion install. The M4 has latest firmware as of today.

Problem installing Mac OS X Update 10.7.4

I have tried several times to install the Mac OSX Update Version 10.7.4.
Each time the comptuer will not restart and I have to use the Time Machine backup (prior to the update download) to fix it. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Hello:
A question.....how long did you wait for the computer to restart?
In any event, I think I would download the update again and then apply it.

Problems installing Mac OS 10.6.3!

I have a macbook pro 13 "(2010), I had to delete the old system I'm trying to install the MAC OS, since I reset the PRAM, since I ran the DVD test found no hardware problem, when I put the DVD system operative only when the lock execulta the DVD, I tried with "C" key press "option", and the same lock!
Remembering not have the system installed I deleted!

As Shootist007 has noted, It is possible if this is a "Full Retail" DVD, rather than the one that shipped with your MacBook, that you need an ever-so-slightly later version than is available on the DVD. This table shows that 10.6.3 was the original build, but it could be a "customized" version so that the standard 10.6.3 will not install:

Problems installing mac flash player

I have tried repeatedly to uninstall existing Flash Player and install Flash Player 11 (11.2.202.235) on a Mac OSX 10.6.8 64-bit system running Safari (64-bit), without success.
The dialog box says that installation was successful, and if you check Apple / System Preferences / Flash Player / Advanced / Updates, it indicates that "Plug-in version 11.2.202.235 is installed.",
but if I try to run anything requiring Flash, it does not work, and when I go to
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
under Flash Player Help / Find Version / Flash Player
Check if Flash Player is installed on your computer
I see a blank gray box, indicating that Flash Player is not installed.
I have followed all of the instructions on Flash Player Help / Installation Problems / Mac OS and uninstalled and reinstalled flash multiple time, with firewalls and antivirus system disabled and everything active force quit, and I get exactly the same results ... Flash appears to be installed, but does not work ... any suggestions?

Could you please check the following?
Go to Safari Settings > Preference.
Go to the Security tab.
Are the following options selected: Enable Plug-ins and Enable JavaScript?
Thanks,
Sunil
