Accidently turned off mac during install now it won't reinstall

As stated above I accidently turned off my mac during an install of lion. Before installing lion i used disk utillity to delete the Hdd and now it wont resume the instalation. It´s booting with the lion disk and enters the instalation, but comes up with a fail message saying that lion connot be installed. I have tried to redelete my Hdd using diskutility but it still wont work. cannot seen to get anywhere from here.
what to do...?

I had a similar problem.  See this problem / answer for a solution:

which I found at:

Resetting the PRAM by pressing Command-Option-P-R during the boot was all I had to do.  It automatically did a restart and I pressed Option to get prompted for the boot drive (don't know if I had to do that last part).

    Hello,
    see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html  here >>> How many computers can I install on
    I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
    Good luck!

  • While in email today, the computer began flashing. I had to turn off with button. When I turned it back on, I got the apple icon and the moving loading wheel. It would turn for about 60 seconds and then stop. I turned off again. I now have a black screen.

  • When installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall?

    when installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall?  Is it necessary on a Mac to do so?  I come from the Windows world and am still in the learning curve on the Mac.

    Correct.  I have not installed ANY other software for anti-virus, etc.  I want to install a Synch app for my HTC phone to sych with MS Outlook 2011 installed on my Mac.    HTC will not synch with it otherwise.  That was really the basis for my question....if installing a non Apple app can be done without messing with factory settings on the Mac.  In Windows I remember that I needed to disable Norton and the Firewall in order for installation to occur. 
    Thanks.

    Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    And sorry to report that OSX is more Widows like than ever, but….
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Hi I just upgraded software through iTunes then unplugged iPhone now it is stuck on the connect to intunes screen, it won't turn off and iTunes and my computer won't recognize my phone? Please help

    Hi I just upgraded software through iTunes then unplugged iPhone now it is stuck on the connect to intunes screen, it won't turn off and iTunes and my computer won't recognize my phone? Please help

    My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
    Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?

  • Turning off MAC filtering

    I can't connect to the internet and the problem is with my airport extreme/leopard. I need to find out how to cut off the MAC address filtering to allow my iPhone and windows computer to connect to the internet. I have the modem ethernet plug in my airport, and another ethernet cable coming from that to my windows PC. Both the PC and my iPhone get the 169 IP address and the subnet of 255.255.0.0, so this is an issue with the security on my airport extreme. This issue wasn't there when I had tiger installed but I recently upgraded to Leopard and all of a sudden this is an issue. How do you turn off MAC filtering as I am sure this is the issue holding me up.

    Open the Airport Utility, which is in Applications > Utilities.
    Select your Airport Extreme and click "Manual Setup".
    Choose the Access Control tab.
    Set MAC Address Access Control to "Not Enabled" and click "Update".

  • I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30

    I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30.
    This is Photoshop Elements 8, and I have the original disc with serial number so I can re-install that.
    The probelm is I'd need to de-cactivate the serial number before un-installing, and I need to open the programme to do that.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Okay, I've found that this is a recognised problem.

    and all the solutions tell me to find the folder FlexNet Publisher in my library.
    Problem is FlexNet Publisher doesn't seem to exist there. Can't find it anywhere on my hard drive.
    Gettting down to the end of that page gives me the following info....
    The FlexNet folders and files required to run Adobe applications can become corrupted or have permission problems if moved from one machine to another. They can also be damaged through a Time Machine system restore. FlexNet service licensing failures cannot be resolved by reinstalling the application or by using the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool. If permissions issues prevent the FlexNet licensing service from launching, accessing data, or communicating with Adobe processes, a licensing failure occurs.
    Well it looks like backing everything up using Time Machine may have caused all this problem. Anyone know how to get Flexnet Publisher back?

    If you tried resetting the ipod and it still keeps having the same issue you described, try setting the ipod to disk mode.
    Here is an article from the apple support website on setting the ipod to disk mode.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If you can get the ipod into disk mode, connect it to the computer and rrestore the ipod using itunes.
    if the ipod will not go into disk mode, you can return the ipod or set the ipod up for service via the apple ipod service depot.

    A device that has been jailbroken cannot be discussed on these Communities...Apple will not help you as that voids your warranty.

    my screen just turned blank white randomly and now it won't turn off/reset or connect to a computer or really do anything... need help.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Emptied trash of iphoto, turned off Mac in middle to stop process but lost most photos. Trying to find them...

    I deleted my photos in my iphoto library as I thought I had backed them up to my harddrive. However, when I emptied trash of iphoto, I worried I hadn't saved them and could not stop it so I turned off Mac in middle but when I turned on Mac, there were only 3000 images left out of the 8000 original photos. Can I retrieve them somehow or are they gone foreve

    When you empty the trash in iPhoto the photos will/should be moved to the System Trash in your Dock. Have you looked there, if there are still photos left? Then drag them out of the Trash.

    Have you tried using it in a different location; say in the town center.
    Also try a Reset.
