Can't install mavericks on 10.6.8.  I have Macbook pro from 2011.

Trying to install Mavericks with snow leopard 10.6.8.  I checked and my Mac Book Pro from 2011 has enough memory and fits all requirements for being able to install Mavericks.  I get half way through download and then every time it says error downloading and stops downloading.

See Eric Root's suggestions here: Re: can't update to mavericks on early 09 iMac

    Can I install Windows 7 System Builder Addition on a MacBook Pro?

    rmsmac,
    do you mean Addition, or Edition? Is it a 32-bit version of Windows 7, or a 64-bit version of Windows 7?
    Why don’t you give it a try, and report back on whether you’re able to or not?

    I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!

    Logic 8 will probably run on your new machine but the installation program contains some older PPC code for pre Intel Macs. This was not a problem as all OSX versions contained the "Rosetta" PPC emulation, that is, up until Lion when all PPC emulation was dropped.
    There are ways to do this however, try searching Google for:  Installing Logic 8 under Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro/?

    How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro?

    You have several options.
    1, Use a Virtual Machine like Vmware, Parallels etc... to Create a Virtual Windows Installation and Run your program in there.  A Virtual MAchine will runn in a Window on your Desktop and share your Mac's resources RAM HD space processor. Your MAc desktop will still be available while you run Windows install.

    2. Install Windows on a partition using Bootcamp. It will run a full installation of Windows you can boot into, and run your programs.  The Mac desktop will not available until your reboot the computer and start in OSx instead of Windows.

    3. Use Wine /  Winebottler to run the Application without the need for a complete Windows installation.

  • Can I install both mac os and Windows 7 on MacBook Pro?

    Can I install both mac os and Windows 7 on MacBook Pro?
    I saw Windows XP picture on this website. And I would like to try mac os while using Windows 7.
    And does Windows 7 on MacBook Pro support high quality game experience? Im sick and tired of reducing to low quality graphics to play some nice games such as GTA 4 and new released games. Hope I can play games with high quality.

    If you have a brand new MacBook Pro or have installed Lion on an older one, you can only instal Windows 7 on Boot Camp (for some reason you can't use Vista or earlier). If you have a Windows 7 CD and a license, it's pretty easy to do via Boot Camp. See here for instructions: http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macos
    If you install via Boot Camp, Windows 7 will run as fast as your computer is. Generally, MacBook Pros are very fast laptops, so you should be pretty good. That being said, just like any laptop, if it's a cheaper MacBook Pro, you won't have access to as capable graphics processing as more high-end machines. So if it's a newer game with crazy impressive graphics, you will likely not be able to tap into the highest settings on the game on any laptop.

    Can i expand the SSD on my late 2012 Retina Macbook Pro from the current 128GB to 256GB or more?

    You can look here to see if they have anything available for your model, but be advised even opening a Retina voids the warranty.

  • Have macbook pro early 2011, blank hard drive (new), no install DVD, inadequate internet connection. How do I install an OS in the thing ?

    Have macbook pro 15" early 2011, blank hard drive (new), Install DVD not available and an inadequate internet connection.
    How do I install an OS in the thing ?
    Can I purchase an installation disk? (I think it originally shipped with snow leopard 10.6.6)
    My first time with Macs and I would love to get it going.
    Thanks....

    You can purchase replacement discs from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes
    international calling numbers.
    You can upgrade the firmware to enable Network Restore: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. After upgrading you can do the following:
    Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
    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 OS X: Select Reinstall OS X 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.

    Pawn shop! They only looked after it for a stranger then the ticket ran out. Will apple accept that sell-on as a bill of sale? I'll give you 50:50 chance on that.  Did you see Apple recently refused to unlock an ipad left to a guy by his mother who died of cancer. Apple wanted a court order! (Til it got on the national TV news).
    Someone will have to produce the original owner's bill of sale I reckon.

  • How can I install Final Cut Studio 2 on my new MacBook Pro with Lion?

    I just purchased and received a new 15" MacBook Pro (non-retina) last week. I need to install Final Cut Studio 2 on this computer. I have researched this and found that I need to install Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD in order to do this. This is the first Mac I've bought ( although I've been working with them for years), so I don't have a Snow Leopard DVD. I am a high school teacher and we use FCS 2 for my classes so buying FCP X is not a viable option for me since I teach FCP 6. The iMacs we use in school run Leopard and were never upgraded to Snow Leopard (budget cuts and all), so I can't even borrow one from my district.
    Does anyone know how I can obtain Rosetta? Or another way to install this without it?
    Thank you ! :)

    There is no way to add Rosetta support because it is not supported by OS X Lion at system level. This has been documented before the release of OS X Lion by itself.
    If you really need Final Cut Studio 2, I would return your computer if possible, and purchase a Mac that is capable of running Snow Leopard (all 2010 models, early 2011 MBP and some other 2011 models)

  • Can't install win 8 x64 on SSD partition on MacBook Pro

    I have a MacBook Pro with a 512gb SSD drive and I'm trying to use Bootcamp to install windows 8 off a flash drive to half of the SSD partition. When I get to the windows installation screen after reboot, it tells me I can't install to that partition that Bootcamp created and that my hardware might not support booting aff that partition. I tried deleting it and reformatting it but that didn't work.
    Does anyone know a workaround for this?

    How did you create the Bootcamp partition and how did you delete it in your attempts to install Windows?

  • How can i install mac os x snow leopard on a macbook pro new hard drive

    I replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro and I'm having difficulty installing Mac Snow leopard on the new hard drive. I press "C" when rebooting with the disk inside and all I get is "you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again" any suggestion?

    1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
          logo appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc.  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

             OS Extended (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Partition 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.
