Why won't OS X Mavericks install after downloading on my late 2009 model of Mac book pro?

hi have a problem with my Mac book pro getting stuck on the screen with the apple logo and turning wheel below it. So far I have booted it on repair mode by pressing command and r, then I erased my hard drive clean so I can just reinstall os x Mavericks. I then went to reinstall OS x, followed instructions to download it but after its finished it just goes back to the same menu, Instead of restarting and installing. Anyone please help!! Thank you.

Hello there, ashru.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great checklist of steps for troubleshooting issues with a Mac booting up to the gray screen during startup:

You need to install Rosetta from a OSX 10.6 install disk.

Can I install Windows 7 upgrade version with Bootcamp on my MAC Book Pro?

I currently don't have Windows on my Mac book Pro. I am trying to avoid the high cost of the full version. My friend said they knew someone who was able to use the upgradable version to install it on their PC using bootcamp.
Also is Parallell really worth the extra cost? I will be primary working on my OS OPsystem and only need windows for a few specific things.

Have you actually tried to install an upgrade version of Windows 7 without a previous version of Windows installed ?
FYI: Google "Windows 7 upgrade double install". This was primarily to do clean installs of Windows Vista using the upgrade product keys, but it still works with Windows 7. I use this technique for cases where the owner upgraded to Win7, but didn't make the recovery disks of XP when they originally got the computer (and the computer didn't come with recovery disks,) then the HD fails and so we have to install Windows 7 from scratch to a new HD using the upgrade product keys without any previous copy of Windows.

Why won't my DR-2010C work after download of software and drivers to vista??

I went ahead and went to the Epson website to check to see if the printer was compatable with Lion, and this is what I found from: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&sku=C11CA69 201 under the specifications section.
Operating Systems:
Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, Windows XP, Windows XP x64
Mac OS® X, 10.4.11, 10.5.8 and 10.6.x
It looks like this printer probably will not work in Lion until Epson releases a software update that makes it work with 10.7.x.
Let me know if you have any more questions,
Kevin

Why am I having major graphical glitches when running windows 7 on my mid 2010 mac book pro

I installed windows 7 on my mid 2010 macbook pro 13". It does not seem like I can tie it to any specific update or driver update. Has any one else noticed this. I found switching to the basic theme has stop the start menu and bottom task bar from glitching out but I can't view anyhing on the web in either windows explorer or firefox. The funny thing is I can log in and play Eve Online with out any issues. It seems to only affect the window pains themselves and anything i try to view on the web.

Yes i did install it when i finished the windows installation. I am thinking something happened during a windows update

Mac Book Pro (2012) tion not booting after installing boot camp

On Sunday I installed windows 8.1 on a partition that I made using boot camp assistant. It worked fine after I installed windows yestarday. Today when I turned on Mac Book Pro and booted it up from the OSX Mavricks partition it turns on but after I hear the start tone, I see the apple logo, a progress bar and then a couple seconds later I see the spining gears and then my computer shuts off. I tried booting the computer up from the windows partition and that worker fine. I tried booting it up from the mac OSX parttion and same thing again. I tried pressing Comand R on start up to go to disk utility so I could verify the Machintosh HD disk. It said that it needed to be repaired but when I went to go repair it I get an error message saying " Disk Utility Cannot repair this disk... back up your files." Next I try going in to single user mode and I type /fsck -y this does not work either. I tried booting into safe mode but that did not work. What should I do next?

Hello Jack Ryen,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that your Mac will not start up in OS X, and the result of you verifying the disk indicates you need to back up your files and reformat. As Disk Utility states, the next step for this issue is to backup and if possible reformat the drive.
Important: If Disk Utility is unable to repair the internal drive, you should back up your important data immediately and if possible, reformat the drive. Consider bringing the Mac to a Genius at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for further diagnosis. Be sure to ask that, if the drive needs reformatting or replacing, they contact you about escalating your case to a special data recovery service. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, you can make a reservation (available in some countries only).

Assuming that you tried to install Win 7 in bootcamp.
Power on the machine and press and hold the "option" key when you hear the bong sound.
Select the Macintosh HD icon and press "return" or just click on the icon.
Once booted into OS X go to System Preferences and select the Startup Disk icon and configure startup to use the Macintosh HD.

Ilife missing on Lion (mac Book Pro) after installing on new drive

Certified apple service installed the Lion os on a SDD drive in Mac Book Pro 15''. I received the Mac and on the same day went with a SDD drive to iStore so that they would replace the drives and install the OS on it.
The problem is that I don't see iLife on it and as far as I know it should be included. The app store doesn't even show it to me...
Any idea what to do??

Take a look at these instructions.
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start from Lion.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.

I would like to know why I can not download apps for other apple products. There is a very limited selection for Mac Book Pro.

I would like to know why I can not download apps for other apple products. Mac Book Pro's selection is quite limited.

The games available for the iPad from the App Store will not be compatible with any computer other than an iDevice. To check for available games/Apps for the MacBook Pro you would need to check the Mac App Store, assuming of course that you are running at least OS 10.6.6.

Flash won't install after downloading...early 2013 MBP/Retina, 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram, 3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor (clean installation)

Flash Player won’t install after downloading
On the first attempt to install v14, Flash Player v13 was installed and working fine.
I opened the installation package for the new Flash Player, followed standard protocol for installing Mac software and it hung before retrieving anything.
Subsequently, while watching the beach ball spin, I got an error message that the installer could not retrieve the v13 Flash Player software.
So I uninstalled Flash Player 13 and again attempted to install v14, only to see the spinning beach ball followed by a message that the installer could not retrieve the v14 Flash Player software.
I am running OS X v10.9.4 on an early 2013 MBP/Retina display with 3GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram.
If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding my issue, please let me know.
Sincerely.

Hi ..
The startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to acces the built in utilities in OS X Recovery
Make sure to back up all important files first before using OS X Recovery.
Make sure there's enough free storage space ...
Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, control click startup disk icon then click Get Info.
You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
