CAN'T do a factory installation !

hello
i can't do a factory install.
i want to install my snow leopard (came with the apple) (not possible )
i have now lion but need a clean factory installation...
i have treid to use time machine (ther earliest one (before install of lion)
after install of the back-up also lion is visible.
I have tried the format my disc but that is also not allowed.
CAN SOMEONE PLEAE HELP ???
many thanks in advance,
jaap

Factory install suggests that you don't want to migrate your user information so restoring from Time Machine is not your best option.
If you want Snow Leopard going forward, you need your original install disk. Do you have your disk? If you do, you can find instructions for using your disk http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3910 .
If you want Lion...
Choose Apple menu > Restart, and then hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys while the computer restarts.
Select “Disk Utility,” and then click Continue.
Select your startup disk from the list on the left, and then click the Erase tab.
From the Format pop-up menu, select Mac OS Extended (Journaled), type a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
After the disk has been erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu in the right corner of the menu bar (in the top-right corner of the screen).
Select Reinstall Mac OS X, click Continue, and then follow the instructions.
Those are instructions directly from the Help Menu built in to Lion. When it says to select your Startup Disk this is named Macintosh HD by default.

How can I do a clean installation of Mavericks 10.9.1 on Late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro

Hi I need some help -
I bought a late 2013 15' Retina Macbook Pro and it was shipped with 10.9.0 build number 13A3017.
Now 10.9.1 is out, and I wanted to download the full installation image and burn it to thumb drive and do a full clean re-installation.
But I just found Mac App Store doesn't allow me to download the full 5.29GB installation image from https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x...ks/id675248567, and my current 10.9.0 can only be _upgraded_ to 10.9.1 with the 395MB incremental update package from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1712, this upgrade package is described as "It includes all updates from OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 plus system specific enhancements to improve the stability and compatibility of your Mac."
So maybe the full 5.29GB 10.9.1 which is available on Mac App Store is not compatible with the 2013 15' Late Retina Macbook Pro?
I just downloaded the upgrade package from Mac App Store and now I'm running 10.9.1 build number 13B3116 fine.
So my questions here: I really would like to do a clean full re-installation of 10.9.1. Where can I get the full installation image which is compatible with 2013 15' Late Retina Macbook Pro?

There is a way to get yourself a fully functional install file for a Late 2013 model.
1. Format a USB stick
2. Reboot the Mac, and hold down CMD-R to get into recovery mode
3. Start a new installation and choose the USB stick as a target. You should be able to choose your normal hard drive as a target, too, because as long as the installer package is downloaded, no data should be erased, but when you decide to use a USB stick, you're on the safe side.
4. The Mac will be downloading the install package. This takes a while, the time remaining shown is not correct. If you need to have an idea how long it will take you, choose the log from the help menu during download, it will show you how many chunks are already downloaded (it was 504 chunks total for me).
5. When the download is ready, the Mac reboots automatically, pull the USB stick when it does. If you're not before your computer when this happens, don't worry, when you come back, you will be in the setup program. Just switch your machine off by pressing the power switch for more than 10 seconds, and then pull the stick.
6. On the stick you will find the "OS X Install ESD.dmg". Copy that file to your Mac (it's the only file you'll need from the stick. After that, you can reformat the stick and use it for the next step).
7. You can use this file to finally create a bootable USB stick if you follow the instructions that you can find anywhere on the net or in this forum.

Can't create a custom installer ARD 3.6.1 + OSX 10.8.3

Hi guys,
I am new to ARD, and straight out of the gate I've got issues!!
I can't create a custom installer, its giving me the following error:
"An unexpected error occurred while creating a custom installer."
I've done some searching and the only issues I can find are form older versions back in 2007!
If I choose to not customise an installer is saves fine, but as soon as I customise one I get that error.
Any assistance would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Abdallah,
According to your description, could you please post the summary and detail logs for further analysis? By default, the logs can be found in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
Usually, the error occurs when the Windows Installer Service is not running or the Windows Installer registry settings are corrupted. I recommend you reset the Windows Installer Service settings in the registry and restart the Windows Installer Service,
then reinstall SQL Server 2008 R2. For more details, please review this similar
article.

You can download the latest DirectX installer from:[URL] I have the latest version, Directx11, as verified by running dxdiag.

Maybe you need to enable Direct Play under Legacy Components in the Turn Windows Features on or off dialog.
1. Right click on the windows start Logo on the taskbar, select Control Panel and click on Programs
2. Under Programs and Features click on Turn Windows Features on or off and then under Legacy Components enable Direct Play

I can not create an Installer, After install the Vision Builder Demo and then uninstall it. I can not create a Labview installer anymore, it asks me for a Vision Builder Installer, even if My Labview program does not have nothing to do with it...

I can not create an Installer on LabView, After install the Vision Builder Demo and then uninstall it. I can not create a Labview installer anymore, it asks me for a Vision Builder Installer, even if My Labview program does not have nothing to do with it...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Shada this can happen if you are including additional installers to your installer for example DAQmx. When you are doing this the installer has to include other files like MAX (Measuremente and Automation Explorer). Probably when you installed Vision Builder it updated MAX, so when your installer is trying to Include MAX, its asking for the source where it was installed in your computer in this case Vision Builder.
Here you can cache the information so its not asked again, or you can download a newer version fo DAQmx, so it will update MAX and change de dependecy.

Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

Where can I download the full installer for flash player?

All we find in the site of Adobe is a litle program tha DOES NOT install flash player.
Instead, it install one litle program (install_flash_player_11_active_x_32bit.exe) to do the download. And it DOES NOT DO THE JOB.
All it does is say to the user tha it could not install.
So, the question is WHERE can we find THE REAL INSTALLER?

Note: 64 bit installer/uninstaller will install/uninstall both 32 bit and 64 bit.
So for a 64 bit systems, all you needed are the 64 bit installer/uninstallers.
IE Active-X 32 bit
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax_32bit.exe
IE Active-X 64 bit
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax_64bit.exe
Other Browsers(Plugin) 32 bit
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_32bit.exe
Other Browsers(Plugin) 64 bit
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_64bit.exe
Uninstallers 32 & 64 bits
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_64bit.exe
