Am I missing something installing Mavericks?

I have a mid-2009 macbook pro running mountain lion with 8gb Ram which looks like the required spec to install mavericks.
I replaced the hd with a SSD (480gb named 'SSD') recently which I think maybe the problem but I'm not sure. It's now the only drive in the system.
On installtion, the 'SSD' drive icon is shown but it says "OS X cannot be installed on SSD" - no reason why not, just this!
having endured a whopping 5.5gb download, I hope to God it's possible to install on my SSD?
any ideas?
thanks in advance

Off hand I'd be concerned if the SSD is not defective. In any case, I would start from scratch with it.
Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
  1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
  2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
  3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
  4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
The above should work if you actually have purchased Mavericks. Otherwise, you will need to reinstall Snow Leopard, update it to 10.6.8, then purchase and download Mavericks.

  • Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (being PowerPC apps).  Seriously?!?!?!?!!   What are my alternatives?

    Hi Mary and Matthew
    You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
    You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
    I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

  • After installing Mavericks, my DVD player icon is missing from my launchpad. How do I get it back?

    I installed Mavericks yesterday and then tried to watch a movie.That is when I noticed the icon for the dvd player is no longer in the launchpad. If I put the disk in the drive it opens on it own or if I search for DVD player it will come up under a spotlight or finder. How do I get the icon back on my launchpad? I don't want to have to search/insert a movie everytine I want to watch one. I would lik to be able to just click the icon to open the player. Thanks.

    cfkola,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    I believe you must be referring to the Solution Center Printer software and not your Control Panel.
    Your Solution Center shortcut may just be missing -- or there may be a deeper issue with your printer software.
    The easier option might be to reinstall the Full Feature Software for your printer and see if that solves all the troubles at one time. 
    In most cases, for most printers, the Solution Center has been replaced with the Printer Assistant shortcut.  This is just a new program that does about the same things as the Solution Center.  Some people like it better.  The interface looks a bit different -- many of the features are the same; for example, your scanning and ink check features will be available.
    The instructions to (re)install the printer software are provided in this Dragon document:

  • Snow leopard install DVD mystery: Am I missing something?

    Okay, I have a brand new iMac, three days in my ownership. After installing software via DVDs and downloads, resolving a few issues, etc, I'm getting an error message - a minor item doesn't load. I run Disk Utility, which points me to a repair that has to be conducted by booting off the Install 1 dsik. No big deal. So I boot off my 10.6.2 Install 1 disk which came with the computer, and all it gives me is a Hardware Test. No option to boot off the DVD. I run the Hardware test anyway, and it still gives me no option to Boot off the DVD. I repeat this with Install Disk 2 and get the Hardware Test again. Same deal.
    If I start normally off the hard drive with Install Disk 1 in the superdrive, I get the correct install display, but that's not booting off the disk itself.
    Am I missing something, doing some wrong, or do I have a bad Install Disk?

    Hi K.T
    The problem on the Install Disk 1 is that it doesn't give me access to anything but the Hardware Test. It doesn't let me get as far as DU or the OS Install screens. It just gives me the choice to run the Hardware Test, or to Shutdown or Restart.
    Of all the Macs I have owned, this is the first Install Disk that doesn't give me a choice between accessing the HD or (re)Installing the O, or running DU.

  • Can I install Mavericks on Quad-Core Intel Xeon (w/10.6.8)?

    From everywhere I have read so far, the answer looks like "yes I can install Mavericks", but I'm a bit confused and wanted to check with folks here before I dive in...
    I'm running an early-2008 Mac Pro with 10.6.8 (check!), but I could swear that in the past when I tried to update certain pieces of software (and OS), that  10.7+ (or 10.8+) required a later processor than is running on my Mac Pro (which is a Quad-Core Intel Xeon).
    With the Mavericks release, it seems to be that I can now update the OS even with this older processor, and then be able to run all the latest software (I really just use MSFT and Apple software). It seems counter-intuitive to me, so I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something and will be left in deep doo-doo after trying to install Mavericks!
    Thanks much all-

    You must have the third generation MP in order to run Mavericks. You can install over Snow Leopard:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If all is well then run the Mavericks installer that you downloaded. Prior to this you may wish to make your own installer:
    Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
    3. Use Lion DiskMaker 3.0 to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
    Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
    You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
    You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
    Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

  • Installed Mavericks.  Computer runs slow

    Since installing Mavericks, my computer is running very slow.  The browsers (Chrome, Safari) take forever, and Aperture  grinds away looking for the images.  Am I missing something?

    Have you rebooted since the upgrade?

  • Installed new HD on Mid-2009 MBP, installed Mavericks, now getting "error code -50" after being on for a while.

    So I had the stock 320gb drive that came with my machine. It started crashing, so I pre-empted the loss of data and installed a spare Western Digital 500gb Scorpio Blue drive, installed Mavericks, and restored my data. Almost immediately I began having sporadic issues with the machine being unable to write to the disk, giving me "error code -50" after being on for about a day or so. I usually just restart and it will work for another day or so, but this is getting very tedious, and I'm a bit worried it might be straining the machine, since I can only hard restart (holding power button) when this happens. Usually, right after restarting, I repair the disk permissions, and this seems to fix things.
    Is this maybe a bad OS install? Maybe I should back up and try it all again? Or is there a software issue I'm not seeing a solution for anywhere? Most people who are getting the "error code -50" messages seem to be getting them on external drives. Is it just a compatibility issue and I need to seek a new drive?

    Thank you for the tips!

    Reteep,
    you could try the same thing as well.
    In my case I doubt it is the problem because it worked fine before Mavericks, although forcing restart may have done something. I hope disabling SMS helped.

  • Restoring files from Time Machine after installing Maverick

    I have an older MacBook Pro and while installing Maverick my aged hard drive gave out. I got a new hard drive installed by an authorized Mac dealer and now I'm trying to restore files from Time Machine. I haven't done anything at all yet with Maverick. I followed the Migration Assistant directions and have the backup connected to my laptop. The backup icon appeared on my desktop. I hit continue and followed directions and reached the point where it said "looking for source" and there is a spinning ball. That was an hour ago. Is it just taking a long time to sort through the large volume of material in my Time Machine backup, or is something wrong? What should I be doing, if anything? Thank you for your help.

  • After installing Mavericks, dragging files to the apps in the dock no longer works.  Getting " The Application Can't Be Found" error

    Just installed Maverick and now the drag and drop file open from finder to dock apps doesn't work?
    Looks like spacebar for quick look isn't working correctly either

    I am annoyed by, I think, the same problem.  I would like to drag Pages files directly to the finder in the dock, but now with Mavericks I can not do this.  It is bothersome to have to click on the finder to open it up when I did not have to do that with the old operating system.  I hope someone can help us both out. 
    I also hope that in the next update Apple addresses the concerns many are having with the newest version of Pages.  Until something is changed, I am sticking with old Pages because I find it to be a much better program to use.  

  • How do I restore gid after installing Mavericks?

    Hi folks,
    quick question for you all.
    Before installing Mavericks (I was running Mountain Lion), I was in the following situation:
    I was user myname with uid=501, and
    (besides other) I was member of a group called myname, which had gid=501.
    Now, after installing Mavericks,
    I'm still user myname with uid=501,
    group myname still exists,
    but now has gid=20, and
    I am no more member of it.
    As a result, a few files / folders which were accessible before installation, are denied to me now (listing them in Terminal correctly displays them as assigned to gid=501, which unfortunately seems to be unknown to the system).
    How do I fix this (apart from changing file permissions)? I presume I should just
    take group myname and change its gid back from 20 to 501,
    add back my membership to it.
    But how do I go through first step? And, more importantly, am I at risk of doing something wrong?
    (And why on earth would Mavericks do that?)
    Thanks in advance
    S

    OK thanks I'll do that. I had actually upgraded to Lion, but when my data was read back to the new hard disk, obviously the upgrade wasn't. Thanks for your advice.

  • IMac running slow and frequently crashing since installing Mavericks. Any useful info in this log?

    Since installing Mavericks some time ago, applications have become slow to open, proccesses have slowed and, well, eveything has slowed down some. Also, almost every day, sometimes more than once, the iMac will freeze for a second, then reboot itself. I've tried searching for similar posts but haven't found an answer yet. I did open the console (which, I confess, I don't understand) and I'm getting lots of messages. But, as I've never checked before, I have no idea whether any of them are normal.

    Thanks in advance for anyone's insight!

    Ok, so I think I got rid of everything you suggested, Arthur. No real improvement in speed, but the computer's four and a half years old, so...  I should just be satisfied if it doesn't crash every day. That would be an improvement. I'll have to wait a few days to see. I've run Etrecheck again just incase you see something else that might help. Thanks.
