Can't install from disk on clean Lion install

Doing the lion upgrade caused a slew of problems on my machine (as well as many others from the look of the discussion boards) So I did a clean install.
Everything is working beautifully, except when I try to install Remote Desktop 3. I just purchased it last week, but the disc version is 3.3, so it will not allow me to install on Lion. It says "Can not install, this software requires Mac OS X 10.6". When I go to the downloads section on the support site, all that is avaiable is an Update .dmg for 3.5, which says it can't install since it can't find an older version of ARD to update.
Does anyone have a work around for this? Or is the full 3.5 .dmg install package avaiable for download somewhere on the support pages that I'm just not finding?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just had the same issue. Clean Lion (Server) install with the same error message.
I solved it this way.
Insert the Remote Desktop 3.x CD
Open the context menu (right-click) for the Remote Desktop-package
Choose "Show package contents".
Go to /Contents/Installers/
Open the context menu (right-click) for RemoteDesktopAdmin.pkg
Choose "Show package contents".
Go to /Contents
Move the file Archive.pax.gz to your desktop
Extract it
Open the new Archive-folder on your desktop
Copy the RemoteDesktop.app from the /Applications-folder to your local applications folder
Run the update for ARD 3.5
That's it...
Hope this helps...

Can't restore from Disk Utility while booted from OS installation DVD

I'm absolutely astounded by this.
I have a new MacBook Pro 17". I restored my files to it and in short order, had it too full/fragmented to re-partition it for Boot Camp.
So I decided to image the disk and store that image file on a FireWire drive, wipe the system disk and restore it cleanly from the image file backup, hoping that would result in contiguous blocks used so that I could then re-partition for Boot Camp.
When booted off the OS X for Intel DVD-ROM disc (10.4.6 - the one that came with my MacBook Pro), if I get out of Installer and into Disk Utility, if I select the internal hard drive and click the Restore tab, I can easily select the hard drive backup image with the button. But the "Destination Disk:" box is only accessible via dragging the disk to the box.
There's one little problem - there is no Desktop, so the disk(s) do not appear on the Desktop. There is no way to drag the target disk to be restored to into the Destination Disk: box. You cannot drag a disk out from the little sidebar inside the Disk Utility window over to the Destination box. I tried. You can't drag any disk anywhere from that sidebar. It's clear that the only way to drag a disk anywhere is if it's shown on the Desktop in Finder (which isn't running when the installation DVD-ROM is booted from). There is simply no way that I can find to restore a disk drive from a saved backup disk image when booted from the installation DVD-ROM.
Please tell me I'm ******** and missing something, or if there's a Better Way to do this. (I can't seem to run Retrospect while booted off the DVD-ROM, so I can't restore from my Retrospect full backup of the disk, either. Joy!)
(I'm really curious if there's a Better Way - especially because it appears I can't boot from an external FireWire or USB 2.0 drive, so I need something that will work in this extremely limited installation DVD-ROM booted environment, I think.)
MacBook Pro 17" dual 2.16 GHz ; Mac OS X (10.4.6) Booted from Mac OS X for Intel 10.4.6 installation DVD-ROM

You can use an external bootable drive with a MacBook Pro -- check your manual or the built in help. Your problem is that for some reason, you can't install a bootable system on one. There are several reasons why Installer won't enable you to do so: insufficient space, incompatible partition scheme (should be GUID) or file system (should be HFS+ or similar), or wrong installation option selected.
It is possible this is related to why you can't drag the startup volume to the destination box in Disk Utility. It must be an HFS+ variant file system.
I think you should check carefully with D.U. the partition scheme of all your drives & the file system format of all the volumes involved. Also run repair disk, as someone has already pointed out.
The behavior with the Restore function is not normal -- you should be able to drag a volume to the destination box from the list.

Can i upgrade from lepoard to mountian lion

I'm still running on Lepoard and I want to upgrade to mountian Lion can I just download Mountian Lion or is there a bunch of steps that I need to go through first since I have an older OS X?
Recently I am having trouble with all cookies interfearing in my veiwing a particular web site and I'm hoping an update will clear this up.

If you have an Intel Mac, then you have an upgrade path:
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

HT1444 can i upgrade from snow leopard to lion

how can i upgrade from OS x 10.6.8 to (snow leopard) to OS X 10.7 Lion

dominic23 is correct. Use the main number for the apple store (you can also find it at http://www.apple.com/buy/). They ask a couple questions to make sure your hardware can support the OS then pay for it over the phone. I received an order confirmation almost immediately. Currently waiting for the link to download the software.

Was upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Install failed. Now says I'm in 10.6 but I'm incomplete. Screen goes gray. Can't boot from disk.

Snow leopard install failed. Comp says I have 10.6.8 but get gray screen when trying to install.

How can I create a disk partiton with Lion?

Hello there:
I'm trying to create a partition to use it as scratch disk in my computer, but as i dont have copy of the Lion OS disk to start my computer to use the disk utility to create it, I need some feed back about this issue, can anyone help me.
The computer is a macBook pro 15" 2011

I'm trying to create a partition to use it as scratch disk in my computer, but as i dont have copy of the Lion OS disk to start my computer to use the disk utility to create it.
No need to. Open Disk Utiltiy in Applications->Utilities to create a partition.
Create new partitions on a disk
You may be able to create new partitions on a disk without losing any of the files on the disk. Each partition works like a separate disk. You may need to create a new partition if you want to install multiple operating systems on your computer. You can also create partitions to help organize your files.
As a precaution, back up your data before creating new partitions on your disk
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
Select the disk where you want to create a new partition and click Partition.
Select an existing partition in the Volume Scheme list, and click Add (+).Disk Utility splits the partition into two, leaving the data from that partition in one of the new partitions. If the partition is less than half-full, Disk Utility creates two partitions of equal size. Otherwise, it creates one partition large enough for the data, and another partition with the remaining space.
Resize the partitions as needed.You can drag the dividers between the partitions in the Volume Scheme list, or you can select a partition in the Volume Scheme list, and then enter a value in the Size field.
Choose how to format the partitions that will be erased or created.For each new partition, select it, enter a name, and then choose a format.
Click Apply.

IBook osx 10.5.6 no finder, won't boot fully, can't boot from disk

My iBook has worked fine ever since the upgrade to 10.5.6, no problems at all.
I installed Safari 4, and whatever security updates it required for that a few days ago and everything still worked fine.
Yesterday I awoke it from sleep and the colors of the default desktop (aurora) had all black parts turned blue, there was no bar at the top of the screen (where file edit, clock etc usually are ), and the finder didn't work. Dock and all it's icons showed up but none are clickable.
Did a hard shut down with the power button, restart it passes grey screen fine, goes direct to blue screen then to desktop - no starting OS X progress bar or anything, then back to the same blue-tinted desktop, unclickable dock, and lack of top bar.
I booted to single user mode, ran /sbin/fsck -yf said drive was ok,
can't boot up with the install disk, or with disk warrior. It passes the grey screen fine, but then gets to blue screen and the computer just shuts down, then boots back into that same bluish desktop.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks very much,
Maikunari

Hello m:
You have (IMHO) a hardware problem. Without being able to boot from a DVD the troubleshooting options are almost nil.
You could try to reset the SMC/PMU:

If that does not work, I am afraid a trip to a technician for diagnosis is in order.

Can't print from mini with mountain lion to To printer being shared on ppc with 10.5.8

Since installing mountain lion on my mini, I cannot print to my shared printer connected to my iMac running 10.5.8. Works fine from another iMac with 10.5.8.

OK, here's more info
The printer is a Canon MP160 that is connected via USB to 17" imac running OS 10.5.8. After installing Mountain Lion on the Mac Mini, I cannot print to that shared printer on my network. I can add the printer to the mini but when i try to print, i see the file in the print queue on the mini, and it processes and looks normal but there is no activity on the imac and nothing prints.
This worked perfectly with previous operating systems, ie snow leopard and then lion. I have done everything I could do to fix this including resetting the printing system on both computers.
I tested the shared printer from another imac that i have that is running 10.5.8 also and it works perfectly.

Sun V120 Blade: can't boot from disk. Is there anyway to recover?

I have a SunFire V120 Blade with 2 hard drives (one contains application data), and NO CDROM drive. It appears that the rack took a power hit, and now I cannot boot the V120 server. A 'boot disk' command returns: Executing last command: boot disk
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/disk@0,0 File and args:
Can't read disk label.
Can't open disk label package
Evaluating: boot disk
Can't open boot device
ok
Since I have no CDROM, how can I reset/recover, because I wouldn't know how I could reinstall Solaris?
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the assistance.
Jim

You have 2 choices, replace 2nd disk with a CDROM drive or perform a network install from a JumpStart server on the same subnet.

New hard drive but can't boot from disk?

So I dropped in a new Travelstar last night, reseated all the connections, closed everything up, popped in the software disk that came with the powerbook (OS9) and tried to boot from the disk by holding down the "C" when starting up. No dice. The Screen is black, the drive just spins the disk intermittently and I don't hear the hard disk spinning. I'm guessing that means it's not the hard disk that was the problem. The original problem was that it would lock up and when I restarted it would either get stuck on the gray screen or just a black screen and the hard drive wouldn't spin, just the disk drive would spin. This last time it was just the black screen. Any suggestions?

Hi, rickDJ. Have you tried resetting PRAM and NVRAM?
I'm guessing that means it's not the hard disk that was the problem.
It sounds that way, but the clincher would be if you pulled the new drive and tried to start up from the CD without any HD in place, and got the same result. Then you could be sure neither hard drive was at fault.
One possibility is that the hard disk's short connecting cable is loose or has gotten damaged. Others are that the the optical drive's cable is loose or damaged, or the optical drive itself is dirty or damaged. If the problem persists without any HD or HD cable in place, my next (free) step would be to pull the optical drive and open it up, clean the lens with alcohol, put the drive back in place, make sure its cable connector is solidly seated on the logic board, and test again with the bootable OS 9 disc.
If you can't start the computer up from any bootable CD or DVD with or without a HD in place after zapping PRAM and manually cleaning the optical drive, there's not much more troubleshooting you can do. There are other possible causes of the problem, but they're not pretty $-wise, and you can't identify them by yourself under the circumstances.

Lost Admin, can't boot from disk or T-mode, no safe mode and no PRAM reset

After installing Leopard, like many I lost my Admin access. Then my MacBook would not boot from any disk nor would it book in T-mode so I could access it from another computer. It won't boot from the Leopard disk or the MacBook Restore disk. I also can't zap the PRAM and cannot boot on safe or fsck modes.
Nothing is working. I have searched the forums and tried everything I can find.
This has me worried I may need to just replace my hard drive and start over (likely with Tiger).
Any suggestions.

can you choose the boot device by pressing the option/alt key?
if not, try this:
- removing power cable AND battery and press the power key for 10 seconds. 11 secs will do, too
- reattach the battery AND the cable (don't start yet!)
- press command-option-P-R (all 4 keys, just to make sure) and press power button while not releasing the keys
- you should hear the startup chime TWICE. if not, well, you're out of luck. i'm sorry ...
- if you hear it twice, try booting again and this time option/alt for choosing the boot device should work (in theory)
hope that helps,

1. "Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area". This doesn't appear because the disk is not formatted as GUID. See the image in my original post.
2. "SMART info will not be reported on external drives" SMART info is reported on external drives, at least on my computer. It depends on the kind of card, connection, and case that you are using. With an eSata connection and a modern card and case you can get SMART data from an external disk.
3. "Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button..." I didn't post this image, but there is no such option for a Logical Volume Group.
Kappy, I know you mean well, but you posted a canned response that did not address my question. I note that you actually participated in a similar discussion about this same problem.
I probably should have just deleted the post because it has been answered elsewhere. But I thought that it would have been rude to delete your response.
It turns out (for those who care) that many people attribute this to a bug Apple introduced into Disk Utility way back in system 10.8.5 but it still isn't corrected in 10.9.1. I still haven't figured out whether this is a glitch that I can live with or something I should try to fix. Links from the article above show possible ways to reformat the disk, which you can't do from Disk Utility in 10.9.1.

HP 3500 MicroTower doesn't boot from disk!

We are facing a very strange issue with HP 3500 , the machine can't boot from disk ! only way to get it to boot is to pxe boot it.
Whenever it can't find a Pxe server to boot from it failed to boot from disk with an error that "No boot disk detected ... "
Disks are detected correctly in the setup/bios and quick smart check tests are passing successfully.
I have tried to disable the network boot but this didn't help as well, it indeed skipped the Pxe boot step but it still fails to boot from disk with the same error.
The OS installed on the machine is Ubunutu 12.04
Note:
We installed extra 2 disks to this machine and 2 extra network cards as well , not sure if this is related but I thought it worth mentioning it.
