Brand new i7 won't let me install MtLion on SSD

Just took posession of my new i7 2.66 Mac Mini. I installed my new 240GB Mercury Elite 6g and 16GB RAM. The system sees all the upgrades. Formatted the SSD. When I went to use the MtLion installer I had downloaded previously it tells me that I can't use MtLion on this system. Anybody have a clue as to what could be the issue? 10.8.2---10.8.2 recently downloaded. Right now I'm doing a Restore from the Recovery Partition to the SSD but that doesn't seem right.

An Update. (Sorry it took so long)          Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C2034)
I installed MtLion from the Recovery partition and as far as I can tell things are working normally except:
After using the Recovery Mode Disk Utility it gives me this message:
"An error has occured with your disk, Would you like to revert it to a working disk?
This will erase the following volumes. This then lists both boot volumes."
Telling it to "Fix" it doesn't make a change and the Repair Disk option is unavailable. If I use Disk Utility from either of the boot volumes the message doesn't appear and it acts as though the functions (Repair Disk etc) all perform normally. Is it possible that "seeing" two identical boot volumes is confusing Recovery Disk Utility because it thinks there is a corrupted Fusion drive that has the OS installed in two places instead of just one?

    After I loaded Mac OS lion, it won't let me install my Sierra Wireless telstra. It keeps telling me to install it even though i already have. help please?

    Check for new 64 bit software for the modem, other wise you I'll probably have to boot your Mac in 32 bit mode first.. And then every time you want to go online.
    I have the Sierra wireless 306 and have their 64 bit lion software installed. Works well.
    Best.

    I changed my ICloud account  ID but my new phone won't let me change it unless I put in my old password and turn off the find my phone feature. But the phone will not recognize my old password. Can someone help me?

    New iPhones don't come setup with an Apple ID/Password. What you're experiencing is called Activation Lock, & unless you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to first activate this phone, you won't be able to reactivate it.
    You can login to iCloud.com, from any computer, use Find My Phone to locate & erase the phone. But, you'll still need to know the original Apple ID/Password to reactivate it.

  • Repost: brand new mac won't play/recognise/mount audio-cd's

    No idea what's going on here. I posted a question which I will paste below. Someone posted some suggestions for me (Dave Sawyer if I remember the name correctly, thanks again!) which lead me to ask wheter I was or was not supposed to have a file named cd info.cidb in a certain folder.
    Now all of a sudden my thread is gone and I find the following mail in my inbox:

    You wouldn't have that file unless you used iTunes to get CD metadata from Gracenote. I hate Gracenote, therefore I have never had that file on my system

    The origial question post was the following:
    Hi all!
    I am totally new to the macbussines (got one for a month now) and not using cd's much I never tried importing one untill today... and it simply won't. I think it's supposed to show the audio-cd on the desktop and give me an 'import cd' button in itunes whenever I insert an audioCD right?
    It won't do... it'll take it in, turn it a few times and slide it right out again.
    What I tried so far:
    * toying with itunes settings for importing (import cd & eject, show CD, ask to import cd etc)
    * toying with the cd&dvd preferences under system preferences
    * click the mount 'button' in disk utility as was suggested in all those threads regarding cd's not mounting first time (my cd's won't mount the second or 30th time either)
    * resetting the PRAM
    Nothing so far.
    It does recognise DVD's but no audio cd's whatsoever, originals, burned ones. You name it. As I don't use CD's a lot the newest CD dates from 2003, but that can't be it, can it?
    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated...
    o/
    Am I going para? Where did my post go? It's totally gone, not even under 'my posts' or anywhere...
    Still no solution either... suggestions still welcome therefor

    My guess is that someone didn't like that I said I didn't like Gracenote.
    Anyway, I Googled for your thread and luckily found it intact in the iTunes for Windows forum and posted a condensed reply there for you.

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

    I am trying to re-instal Acrobat Pro on my computer after changing OS and resetting everything. I am using the CC panel for installation. It shows it installed and won't let me install it. I doubled check everything on my computer and it is not installed. Even more, all my PDF files now show an HTML extension rather that PDF and only opens in my browser, which means the program is not here.
    How to re-install it, please, when the CC panel installer won't let me do it? Thanks!

    Try "Pacifist"!
    Pacifist is an application for Mac OS X that opens up .pkg installer packages, .dmg disk images, .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .pax, and .xar archives, and more, and lets you install individual files out of them. This is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package

  • Satellite L850 - Win8.1 won't let me install the chipset drivers

    Hi,
    After i upgraded to windows 8.1 pro 64 bit from windows 8 64 bit (pre-installed), i figured that windows won't let me install the chipset drivers (downloaded from "toshiba site" for windows 8.1 pro 64 bit), but they remain with the windows drivers installed for them.
    The device manager shows everything installed and properly using. Also, when the set up was running to install the chipset driver, it skipped most of them, to install only a missing driver (sadly haven't kept any screen to show). I tried to install using the device manager (either auto search or manually browsing in the pc the downloaded files from site), but it keeps saying that drivers are up to date (having drivers with version of 2006, when the latest on site are 2014). Any suggestion of what to do?
    Model name: Satellite L850-1MK
    OS version: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM cpu @ 2.4GHz
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7600M

    Problem solved, after even a deeper google search, i found that if y make a shortcut and add to it a command (-OVERALL), it forcefully installs all components.
