After formatting my imac I'm unable to install SL

Using Target mode I was able to delete the developers Lion recovery partition. Using DU I was able to completly erase my target disc which I needed to do in order to install SL. I've tried several ways to come up using the original SL disc that came with my computer. When holdiong down the C key I boot up the system. I get the grey Apple logo but thats it. The little wheel just keeps spinning. The install disc can be heard churning and it sounds like its booting up.
But nothing happends .Can someone PLEASE shed some light on this. The Sl disc is a good one because when I load it on another mac it opens up fine.

You may have a problem with your Mac's optical drive. You should be able to put the disk into another Mac and boot from it in Target disk mode

Hello mom_5_01,
The following article should be quite beneficial in your endeavor to update your iPad.
iPad: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097
You may encounter the following symptoms while updating or restoring your iPad:
iPad continually restarts but never displays the Home screen.
An update or restore did not complete and the iPad is no longer recognized in iTunes.
iPad stops responding, showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, for over ten minutes.
If this occurs, you can place iPad into recovery mode and attempt to restore again. If iTunes displayed an alert with an error code, see this article before attempting the steps outlined here.
Cheers,
Allen

After many attempts I am still unable to install iTunes!!! What is Apple doing about this?

I have read and tried the various solutions posted on the Apple support pages and am unable to solve this problem. I have deleted the named files on several occasions which, I am told, should enable me to download the program. This hasn't worked! I would like the Apple Corporation to ensure that any download searches and deletes the required programs as part of the install. I don't know what to do now to enable me to access ITunes to connect and sync my iPad with the PC.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Unable to install Solaris 10 for intel on IDE hard disk?

I was trying to install solaris on an 80 GB IDE HDD with
AMD 32 bit ,XP2000 cpu, 1024 MB RAM using a DVD rom
drive with the first/second solaris os install CD.
BUT after 2nd CD , i got the message 'Short Read/Read Error'
after the GRUB boot loader screen.
Repeated after formatting disk using Red Hat linux (linux installed successfully on same disk/machine without problems) but even then
when i retried installing solaris 10, it failed with same error.
Same set of CDs installed successfully on intel xeon server with
1 GB RAM, 32 GB SCSI HDD.
Does solaris install on IDE hard disks on intel 32 bit PCs?
pl help/

Sometimes it's possible to use drivers for older Solaris x86 systems
to install the latest Solaris x86 release.
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/family/model/2543.html?submit.y=0&submit.x=0&lang=en&cc=us
To do that, you have to modify HP's ITU floppy. For Solaris 10 x86,
rename the DU/sol_2X directory on HP's floppy to DU/sol_210 .

HT4623 Unable to install iOS6

I have an iPhone4 and after downloading the update it says "unable to install update. An error occurred installing iOS6. Now what?

Unable to install for n73 music

dear friends when i try to install applications for exp.( themes ) after finish installation there is amessage (unable to install) , i try to change the date but no solution .

I too have run into the same issue. This occurred after upgrading to iTunes 6. I've been fussing with this since Friday. I've had an e-mail into Apple, and it's been about 72 hours, with no response. Luckily I've got a work computer that has iTunes 5, and I was able to download the music on that computer without any issue, and copy the music over (a pain)..... What's funny is that when I checked for purchased music on my work PC, some music that I had already downloaded a few days before (iTunes 5) downloaded again (just a few tracks) I am still getting the error on my primary home PC, however. It does seem to be iTunes 6 related, because I also have a laptop with iTunes 6, and it kept getting the error.
As an experiment, I bought a few songs yesterday, and they downloaded immediately, so I thought the problem was gone... I tried the same thing today and am still getting the 11502 error. I've tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing my PC with no avail... I've also tried reinstalling iTunes 6... The problem is still there... I haven't tried going back to iTunes 5, but am affraid of what will happen if I do.
I've tried everything in the Apple FAQ's, with no effect.. This error (11502) doesn't seem to be in any of the FAQ's that I've found so far. I hope that Apple contacts me soon. I was loving my iTunes up until this point. I've had no issues until I "upgraded" to iTunes 6.
If I hear from Apple, and actually get some real help, I'll post the solution to this board. It's been extremely furstrating. Please let me know if you have any success.

If you have OS X 10.6.8 as you state you can not get iphoto form the App store - you must have Yosemite OS X 10.10. installed to download iphoto 9.6 from the App store
If Nothing happens then you need to contact App store support - link is on the right of the App store window

You formatted your computer's hard drive? If so, it's like starting with a new computer unless you restored all of your content from a backup but it does;t sound like that's the case.
