What is the EXACT model/year MBP and what OSX are you trying to install? What is the OSX that is currently installed?
It seems you may have HDD issues.

OS X could not be installed on your computer File system verify or repair failed
Downloaded OS X Yosemite update through Apple Store and attempted to install it on my mom's 2013 21" iMac running OS X 10.9.5.
However, a few minutes into the process I received this message:
OS X could not be installed on your computer
File system verify or repair failed. Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again.
Tried restarting several times to no avail. Ran disk utility and saw:
Invalid node structure.
File system check exit code is 8.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired.
Repair disk button not available for Mac HD, but is available for 1TB Apple HDD. Is there any way to abort the OS X Yosemite installation?TThe Disk Utility cannot repair the disk it resides on. The way I get around this is to use an external hard disk as my startup disk and run did utility from that. Most time then the primary disk on your iMac can be repaired.

why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed so this ***** a bit. Also how do I keep this incedent from happending in the future?
No, this is not the case. I know where i purchased the movie and I also know movies cant be added to the cloud such as music, TV shows can. The instance happened during the dowload. I think that depending which computer is up and running and the bandwith allocated on either network, which ever computer that finishes first is the one that gets the movie. Just a thought. So next time I will ensure my IMAC is not running. I think that fixes it.

os x could not be installed on Mac book pro because storage system verify or repair failed.
When i open disk utility HDD does not let me repair.In order to repair the system disk you must boot from another disk drive. The operating system will not allow the disk drive it is running from to be repaired.
Book the MBP and create a bootable clone on an external disk drive. Then boot from the external disk drive and repair the system disk drive from there. -
you are running the latest version of iTunes, have no other USB devices attached, have no security software installed, and are directly connected to your ISP source, simply restarting the computer and the iOS device can clear up certain issues that could prevent you from restoring. After restarting the computer and iOS device, attempt to restore again.
How big is your library? I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
- Backup your library. Always a good idea before messing with things.
- Create a new library. Refer to this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589. This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one. Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
- Add a few albums into this new library. Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
- Activate Match on this new library. You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
- At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC. If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library. My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes. If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like. -

"Install Mac OS X" from Tiger CD just restarts the computer. No install.
Basically I want to reinstall Mac OS X Tiger. Last time it was easy, just Double clicked "Install Mac OS X" from the Tiger CD, clicked through a few options and voila! Tiger.
This time, however, problems. When I double click the magic icon the only thing that happens is the computer restarts, never goes to the install screen.
Furthermore, I tried booting from the CD in system preferences... it gave me a brief second of a ?-folder at startup, but then continued to boot from the hard disk.
I'm at a loss as to what to do next, I'd rather not invest in another Mac OS X cd (and yes it's original, and yes it's what I used to upgrade to Tiger on this computer in the first place).
Help? Thanks much in advance.Try this. Ensure that the disk is clean and free of scratches. If so, pop in the disk, Restart, holding down the OPTION key until icons pop up, when the little clock cursor stops spinning. select the install disk, and click the right-hand arrow. If that doesn't work, then zap the PRAM, restart holding down the CMDOPT+PR keys until you get a couple of bongs. Try booting from the install disk again.

My son installed a toolbar and I uninstalled it but it didn't disappear. A friend told me if I uninstall firefox and re install it, that the toolbar would be gone. I uninstalled firefox and went to reinstall it and it told me I had to restart to get rid of the old version completely, I restarted my computer and tried to install it again and it keeps coming up with the "you must restart your computer" thing. I have restarted my computer at least 20 times and it keeps happening and I cannot install firefox and its making me mad cause I hate using IE but if I can't figure it out I am going to be forced to use it instead of Firefox :(
If the toolbar installed something into the rest of the system, you will see an entry in the Control Panel in the software uninstall applet which should be removed. You might need to make a new profile if you cannot find an extension that has something to do with the toolbar.

Why, oh why, whenever I try to play certain songs in iTunes does it say to me "you must authorize this computer to play this song". So, then I sign in with my username and password, and iTunes tells me that it my computer is "already authorized". It still won't play the songs!
This is so frustrating. And there is no customer service for iTunes. Can anyone help me?Click here and follow the instructions.

Using Disk Utility, perform a Repair Disk Permissions on your main drive, then re-attempt the update. -
Why Can't I open spreadsheet on my Mac Book?
Why Can't I open spreadsheet on my Mac Book Pro? I have gone to the App store to download the most current version of Numbers, but am told it is already installed. The version of Numbers on my computer says it is 2.3 (554). ( in "about Numbers"). If it is already installed why can't I open a spreadsheet created long ago, but used recently without any problems until today. Very Frustrated. I have Maverick on my 2012
Your Mac is too old. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842 .
Also, a Mac with 2 GB of memory does not run well on Mavericks. -
Why is my itunes not installing properly?
I installed itunes day before yesterday, I spent hours last night linking all my music photograph and movie files, its a new windows 8 laptop.
I plugged in my 64GB ipad 3 rebooted it and reloaded all the information I wanted on it, took hours... finally completed this this morning. After this I restarted the laptop to configure my icloud link for the laptop (which I installed last night while I was loading files, I chose to restart later)
on completion I turned my laptop off for a few hours, when I turned it back on I went to itunes to connect my iphone to do the same and I got this message:
iTunes exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point
AVCFPlayerAppliesMediaSelectionCriteriaAutomaticallyKey could not
be located in dynamiclink library F:\Programmes\iTunes.dll
OK
then after pressing 'OK' the following message:
iTunes
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
Error 7 (Windows error 127)
I went back to apple website to reinstall iTunes, first reinstalled it same again, then unsinstalled it and the reinstalled it, same again.
The same thing happened with my old lap top and I replaced it with this new one at the start of the week.
Has anyone any idea what is going on and how to rectify this problem, I am now going on 3 weeks without iTunes.
Regards,
Damian36I started up and plugged in my iPad and then the following message came up:
iTunes
❗️This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not
Installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install
the 64-bit version of iTunes.
OK
I then proceeded to the "iTunes64Setup" expanded folder to load "AppleMobileDeviceSupport64"
Started the install and then received this message:
Apple Mobile Device Support
❗️Service 'AppleMobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device)

Privileges to start system services.
Abort. Retry. Ignore
I tried all tree options, last being ignore.
I continued to download the other 2 you suggested with out any drama.
I did a system restart and then opened iTunes.
Connected my iPad
Then message appears:
iTunes .exe - System Error
❌ The program can't start because CoreAdioToolbox.dll is missing from
Your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.
OK
Press OK and then the next message:

OK
Any suggestions?
