Can't finish Yosemite installation on MacBook Pro, please advice!

hi there!
this week, my MacBook HDD died. It was working fine, and then it boot to the flashing folder. I run the Hardware test directly from the Internet and the results said everything was ok. When I tried to use disk utility to delete everything it couldn't mount/un mount the disk, and the s.m.a.r.t. Status was failed.
When i tried to install the fresh copy o Yosmeite, the HDD wouldn't came up, so I assumed that it's was a problem with the HDD. I bought a brand new HDD, upgraded from 500g to 1T. the first time I used disk utility, I created de partition y formatted the disk without problems. I run the Yosemite installer and everything was working fine, and then it display a message that it could not finish the installation, so i tried again, and now I'm stuck in a loop when i start the Mac with the thumb drive and launch the installer it goes to the same picture of the progress bar full, but no error messages in the log, can't unmount the HDD or delete the partition using disk utility, the s.m.a.r.t status now said Not supported, and the hardware test shows that everything is fine, please advice what to do?
thanks guys!

I would take it to an Apple Store's Genius Bar and ask for them to reinstall the operating system for you. They can just copy an image of the completed install to your drive and it should work assuming there's nothing physically wrong with your computer. You could also go to any other Apple Authorized Service Provider, but Apple will do it for free.

Can't install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro MC700 - 3 beeps after installer starts.

can't install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro MC700 - 3 beeps after installer starts (10.6.3 retail). Lion installer starts normally. What's a problem?

I have the same trouble, I try installing rEFI but when I try start my Pro from DVD doesn't recognize.
Can I start from USB Memory? with files from SL DVD? or have some thing else?
I have original DVD of SL 10.6.3, if I buy the latest stable version, can I install? or the EFI firmware with Lion change again?
I try to use Lion, more than one week but I can't, and some app that I use for my profession, doesn't work, I really need downgrade to SL.
Really Thanks for any help.

I have installed Creative Cloud Desktop but it fails to load. The icon shows up in the bar at the top right but then it just disappears. I am running Yosemite on a MacBook Pro.

I downloaded and installed Creative Cloud Installer and installed the Creative Cloud desktop on my MacBook Pro running Yosemite. The Creative Cloud desktop tries to install when the system starts and the icon actually shows in the top bar briefly and then disappears shortly after it shows up so it is obviously failing to load. I have tried multiple times to no avail.

do you mean in my system library? or where can I find it?

How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro?

How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro? It is 15 inch Retina display, and it is Version 10.9.1 . I download the game, log in and press play, but as soon as it finishes loading, the blue bar goes away and nothing else happens!
It goes from this:
To this:
And on the development console it says this:

Hello EpicEmma,
I just had this problem today!, but i have a SOLUTION ,
right click the finder icon and click "go to folder"
type : "~Library/ Application Support
Find the minecraft folder, Backup your Saves, (drag the saves folder onto the desktop) *OPTIONAL*
delete the minecraft folder, not the application.
Open the minecraft Launcher (it will take a while to start up)
Put in login info and when its loaded up, press "play"
The blue bar will take a minute or two...
And then... it should start normally
U dont need to repeat the steps every time u open Minecraft. You can later replace the saves folder with the new one back to where it was whenever you want at the same place where it used to be before. Hope this helped!

I need to totally format my macbook pro 13" mid 2009, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds?

my macbook pro 13 is originally shipped with mac os x 10.5.7, now with 10.6.8, but i dont have the dvds with me, i also dont want any of the information on it, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds? what can i do?
My macbook pro 13" dvds have these on them
    DVD 1: 13 inch macbook pro mac os x install dvd version 10.5.7 2Z691-6468-A Disc version 1.1
    DVD 2: 13 inch macbook pro applications install dvd disc AHT version 3A174 disc version 1.0   2Z691-6458-A
My friend's macbook pro 13
    DVD 1: 13 INCH MACBOOK PRO MAC OS X INSTALL DVD Mac os x version 10.6.7 Disk version 1.2
    DVD 2: 12 in macbook pro applications install dvd AHT version 3A21 Disc version 1.1
Would my friend's dvds work to format my macbook pro to factory settings as if out of the box?
i also had windows running on my mac, i used disc utility to erase the partition for windows, not bootcamp, so the partition is empty, i cant get the main hard drive extended as it was before because it gives me a message saying "could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed", and when i try to verify it through disc utility it says that i need to my os x dvd and repair it, if i just format it, will that all go away?
thank you

Simple answer is no.
Slightly more complicated answer;
You may be able to boot from the disc and use Disk Utility to partition and wipe the HDD (though it may not boot at all).
You can't install an OS from the other computer's discs. It simply will not allow the installation.
You would also be violating the software licence agreement.
As your originals are 10.5.x, you can buy the Snow Leopard retail installer (10.6.3) and format and install from that.

The Creative Cloud App for desktop can't be installed on my Macbook pro

I've have bought the Photoshop + Lightroom applications via the creative cloud. I can download the installion file for Crative Cloud app for desktop and I can start the installation process but it is interrupted halfway through with a message saying "The following problem have encountered: Creative Cloud for desktop could not be installed". There are no hints for any solution. I've tried to use Opera instead of Safari but the same thing happens. Is there anyone that knows what the solution for this problem is? Sincerely Lars

Thank you! You solved the problem!! /Lars

Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro

Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro.
It started with Photoshop, then Safari, and now the Kinect sensor.
Mavericks is the worse thing that happened to me I have a thesis project to work on!
What can I do?
How can I remove Mavericks and go back to Mountain Lion?
Thanks

Hey StephSassine,
First, I would run through these steps:
Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk and then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk:
Increase disk space
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10677
If that doesn't work, you may need to repair your computer’s disk in Disk Utility:
Choose Apple menu > Software Update to make sure you have the latest version of Mac OS X.
Software updates sometimes change a file’s permissions to improve security, so updating your software can solve some permissions problems.
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
Select the disk you want to check.
Click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions.
via: Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5821
If that doesn't help resolve the issue, you can revert to a previous OS X version:
OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version

Sincerely,
Delgadoh

Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow !! Need help ? what is the solution?

Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow !! Need help ? what is the solution?

I've ran a benchmark on my Mac (iMac early 2009). Performance of Yosemite in general was about the same as Mavericks. But that can be different on other Mac's of course. Safari is mostly a bit slower. It's recommended you clean your old internet-caches and then restart Safari. (you can use a little app called CCleaner to do that). That might make a difference. Speed-issues are usually solved in the first and second update of OS X.

Can't enable Handoff in my macbook pro mid 2009

hey buddies
I finally upgraded to OS X Yosemite with my macbook pro mid 2009 but.. i kind of upgrade because the handoff and continuity options paired to my iphone 5
I see in many reviews and blogs that I need to open System preferences > General > Allow handoff.. but THERE'S NO ALLOW HANDOFF option....
here in the picture below you can see that there's no option for that..
what should I do? is there any issue with that?

There is a tool available, unsupported by apple that enables this feature on older Macs. I have not tried it yet as I don't have iOS 8.1 installed, but people are claiming it works to enable on unsupported systems. As usual, use at your own risk. https://github.com/dokterdok/Continuity-Activation-Tool/

Question from a customer: If I download it to my MacBook Air can I share it to my MacBook Pro and or vis a vis?

I had the following query from a customer, and I don't know the answer. Any help would be much appreciated.
Regarding the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Software Download card:
If I download it to my MacBook Air can I share it to my MacBook Pro and or vis a vis?
Thank you in advance.

A Lightroom license can be activated on any two installs regardless of platform but the use of only one at at time is permitted.

I can't finish the installation because a window tells to close the SafariNotificati application, but i haven't got anything open other that the Creative cloud window

I can't finish the installation of Acrobat XI Pro, because a window pops up and tells me to close the SafariNotificati application, but i haven't got anything open other that the Creative cloud window, it always stops at 42%, what can I do? All other applications downloaded without any problem

I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.
Latest revision of firefox.
After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

Installed Yosemite update on MacBook Pro retina late 2013 will not boot flashing folder with ?

I just Installed Yosemite update on MacBook Pro retina late 2013 will not boot flashing folder with ?

dunno, Lynn--maybe Etrecheck. trying running disk utility to verify the status of your hard drive. That may give you a basic idea. Perhaps tech tool pro. As for it running hot, I can't say for sure. try shutting it down and using a vacuum clearner +crevice tool around the back of it. It's been my experience that hard drives usually fail without a lot of warning, luckily you have a backup. Afterwards you can say "Yup, that went bad". I've done a little research and found out that your MacBook Pro doesn't come with a conventional hard drive as such, but an SSD (solid state device) . It's upgradeable (up to 1 TB ) but not cheaply
go here for more info (OWC) :http://eshop.macsales.com. For right now, I'd recommend resetting the SMC/PMU, maybe zapping the pram . to do that, reboot, hold down Apple+Option, P+R keys while rebooting. Hold down for 3 chimes, let go and let it boot. as for the SMC thing....
I'm assuming your battery isn't removeable-shut down computer, plug in MagSafe cable . On built in keyboard, on left side, press Shift-Control-Option and power button at the same time. release all the keys and the power button. press power button again to turn on computer
that is all

Unfortunately, no you can't.
Just to be clear. Your computer will support AirPlay it's just AirPlay Mirroring that requires newer hardware.
