Can't install Mavericks from OSX 10.7.5

I've had many attempts at trying to install Mavericks from OSX 10.7.5 but when the download is complete & I try to do the install I get a message saying that the download could not be verified or was corrupted...

First, check to see if your computer can run Mavericks.
Here's the list.

If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
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 Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side 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. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. 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. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. 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 the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Problem installing Mavericks from my recovery partition of my computer

I don't know what's going on but for some reason each and every time I try to install mavericks from my recovery partition I get an error saying "OSX Mavericks failed to download" , then the text underneath that said "Use the purchases page to try again". This creates a problem for me because I can not access the Mac AppStore since I whipped my MacBook clean with the os along with it and am trying to clean install mavericks. So I was wondering how do I fix this because I am beginning to get extremely ****** off and frustrated.

What does the message say, exactly?
Try this:
From the Finder's Go menu, choose Computer:
Double-click your hard disk icon. It is usually named "Macintosh HD":
Look for this folder:
If it appears in that window, drag it to the Trash.

Hi, shoaib.
You wrote: "also in disk utility i get this
"invalid file or directory ID found"
"the volume HD needs to be repaired"
"Error: the underlying task reported failure onn exit""The disk directory of your hard drive is corrupted. This is the source of your problems.
If you cannot afford either of the third-party utilities:
• Alsoft Disk Warrior 3.x (DW3)
• Micromat TechTool Pro version 4.1.x (TTP4).
then you will need to follow the instructions in "Disk Utility reports 'Underlying task reported failure' when repairing a volume."
Specifically, given that your attempt to repair the disk using Disk Utility from your Tiger DVD failed, there are no other solutions available for this problem other than:
• Attempting repair with the third-party disk utilities cited above.
• Backing up whatever data can be saved, then reinstalling Mac OS X with an Erase and Install.
See the article I cited above for details. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
To avoid having to reinstall in situations like this, as funds permit you should consider investing in:
• Implementing a comprehensive backup and recovery solution. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ.
• Alsoft DiskWarrior and TechTool Pro.
Good luck!

Help Can't Install Maverick "disk doesn't use the GUID Partition-"

I have an imac and i'm using bootcamp fro windows 8. so I have Macintosh HD and BOOTCAMP Partitions. both partition have Master Boot Record as the Partition Scheme. When trying to install OS X Mavericks it rell me that "This disk doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme. ..." it tells me to use Disk Utility to select the disk ->partition -> select Volume Scheme and then Options... but option is grayed out... I can not change it and so can not install Mavericks... how do I solve the this issue without losing any data in mac and in windows? without deleting partitions if possible?
thanks

GUID is a drive map layout. You can only change it by opening Disk Utility, highlighting the physical drive and choosing the Partition tab. Then change the partition layout to anything other than Current. The Options button below that will then be active and you can then finally change the drive map from whatever it is now to GUID.
Note that since you must repartition the drive, you WILL lose everything on all partitions. So you MUST back up everything FIRST to another drive. This can be a clone to another physical drive, internal or external. When you clone it back after repartitioning, the drive map does not change.
To check your current drive layout, open Disk Utility and click on the physical drive you want to install Mavericks on. Example:
Then look at the lower right of Disk Utility's box. If you see anything other than GUID Partition Table, as shown below, then you must repartition the drive.
The other main problem is that you have to have another drive to boot to before you can change the one that needs to be repartitioned. Clone your current drive to another physical drive, not another partition on the same drive. Once the clone is complete, boot to that drive and you'll be able to repartition the drive you need to change.

Hi all,

It's oviously a problem of iTunes 9.1, which does not seem to fin the syncserver. exe or some of its dependent files.
User icefoxxxx showed me how to solve the problem. Anyway, Apple has to fix this, many people will have the problem:

you won't believe how I fixed it... my syncserver.exe can't run because some dll is missing, but I notice the dll is in another folder "Apple Application Support". So I copied all files in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
over to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
and it solves everything!
Obviously there is something wrong in registering the former folder by the new itunes installation program. Hope next version fixes it.

Can I install ios5 from a computer other than my primary computer?

I have downloaded the Lion update in the office and would like to install ios5 on my iphone and ipad before going home, which is where my "primary" computer is, i.e., the one I use to sync. Can I install ios5 from any computer or does it have to be the one I have always used for syncing?

You can but if your office computer does not have your backups and iTunes Library from your home computer then the device contents will be wiped. I'd wait until you got home.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes. iTunes does not "see" the devise. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does. Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.

OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Can't install Mavericks...

OK, here's a weird one...
I can't install Mavericks on my 2012 MacBook Air (29GB free) - "Macintosh HD" is being used for Time Machine backups.
Huh?
Any clues/fixes gratefully received!

Where do you find the Backups.backupdb folder?
If you're having that problem, it will be in the "root of the hard drive", which is the top-level of the drive, the folder you see when you open the volume itself.
I found it on my external drive, and deleted it there (in the trash too using the option key), and now i have no backup of my system and no mavericks.
You shouldn't have needed to do that. The problem only occurs if a Backups.backupd folder exists on the volume where you intend to install Mavericks. If your backups are really gone, I wouldn't even try to install Mavericks until you can create another backup set.

I can't install Lightroom from CC subscription

Hello, I can't install Lightroom from Adobe CC
Following 30 days of test with an evaluation version, I have subscribed to a pack CC+Lightroom; all is OK with CC, the evaluation version has been replaced by the subscribed one.
But on Lightroom side it went much more difficult; I was still with the evalaution version and was always requested to enter a serial number.
I asked for an advise on this forum and was suggested to uninstall Lightroom with Windows 8.1 process; I did so.
Now I try to install the regular Lightroom version, but a pop-up window called "URIHandler" is asking for the choice of a program, somewhere on my PC ?
I may add that the CC manager window is still indicated that I have an up-to date Lightroom version on my PC, which is unfortunately false; all lightroom directory has been deleted by the Windows uninstall process.
I am stuck at this stage; does someone did experience such situation, and could help ?
Thanks a lot

Might not help your specific issue but you're installing outdated software.
Try installing the current version 5.7.1
