Cannot Do Fresh Install Mountain Lion on My MBP

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to do fresh install on my MBP.
It had OS X 10.8.3 before. And then I wanted to do fresh install using USB bootable Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
But when I reboot from USB, there's an error like this: "There was a problem installing "Mac OS X"."
What should I do? I'm really confused.
I use MBP late 2011 actually.

Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
The screen should give you these choices...
Restore from TM backup
Reinstall Mac OS X

Disk Utility
Choose re-install OS X. This will be internet recovery and will take a while depending on your internet speed.

  • CAN'T FRESH INSTALL MOUNTAIN LION

    I have a mid 2010 17" MacBook Pro.
    Had been using it for years till now.
    Recently, I reinstalled mountain lion and boot camp (for web ATM).
    The first time it couldn't boot up was 2 weeks ago. No matter how I try, just couldn't boot up after I used **** windows.
    I thought it was virus from windows, so I re-do it again.
    This time, I can't even fresh install mountain lion, it says there's some problem with the installation program, and ask me to try again.
    I even made a flash stick of ML, and says the same thing.
    I tried all the disk utility stuff. verify, recovery, clean.
    And I used the Apple Hardware Test tool to test it, says nothing wrong with my mac. (I did extention test as well.)
    My Hardware Description:
    Name: MacBook Pro
    Model: MacBookPro6.1
    CPU: intel Core I5
    Core Number:2
    CPU Speed: 2.53 Hz
    L2 Cache: 512 KB
    L3 CPU flash memory: 3 MB
    BOOT ROM VERSION: MBP61.88z.0057.B0F.1112091028
    System Serial: C02DXOXODC79
    What happened to my MBP???? Please help~
    Thanks in advance if any reply.

    Boot up in recovery mode, erase the HD, and restore the OS. Details in Recovery and About OS X Recovery. Also, see Internet Recovery

  • Fresh install mountain lion

    I am having to many crashes on my Mountain Lion (upgraded from Snow Leopard) and want to reinstall Mountain Lion and see if this doesn't work. My Mac crashed about once or twice a week and most recently this caused my Outlook for Mac to be corrupted. Tied to rebuild DB but it is not working.
    How can I fresh install Mountain Lion removing all from my HDD and recovering my data safely?

    Found my old Mail, so basically back to normal.
    However had two crashes since I've done everything and now I am concerned that my Mac issue might be hardware related:

  • Error installing Mountain Lion on 13" MBP (late 2011)

    It was preloaded with Lion before this. My MBP started to slow down so I decided to upgrade to Mountain Lion to see if there is any improvement, but unfortunately its stuck on the installation phase. I've been repeatedly downloading the Mountain Lion software but never passed the installation phase. It always stuck at the how many more minutes remaining for installing part. Sometimes it'll show "-45 minutes remaining" and keep counting negatively. Sometimes it just says please contact the software provider (or something i can't remember). Can anybody help be with this? I've tried verifying and repairing the disk using the disk utility but nothing seems to be helping.

    this is the installer log. hope i'll hear good news from u after this. btw, is it possible to create a 2nd partition, install mountain lion on that partition, and use that partition to access the original partition to retrieve my old files?

    I have experience most then 20 times since i install mountain lion, can someone tell me what's wrong ?
    Cheers!!

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. You might be able to resolve the problem by reinstalling OS X. Try that first, if you haven't done so already. Otherwise, you may be covered by this program:
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
    Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution. 
    Most likely, the logic board will be replaced. Sometimes the replacement is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.

  • Cannot Fresh Install Mountain Lion on SSD

    Hi I am new to macs and the first thing I want to do on my mac is install the Mac OSX onto my old SSD from my Windows machine. I have been having great difficulty so far! I created the mac osx dvd following the instructions here. I then took out my old HDD and put in the old SSD, I loaded up from the macosx dvd i created. I then erased the ssd drive as mac extended journal. I then installed the OS. It seemed to work, I loaded up mac osx mountain lion and logged in.
    The only thing was that whatever you did on the screen made the spinning thinking wheel appear for far too long. Even opening the finder windows took a while.
    I thought the fresh install must have gone funny so I just went through the process gain and tried to install mac osx again. Now I cannot even get the installer to finish! It just stops and says its failed. I have tried wiping the drive again and starting again but now every time the installer fails. Like the first time I tried to install it somehow left some damage or mess behind. Well I hope its not the SSD that is faulty I tested it by plugging it in to another computer with a hard drive docking thing. It seemed to read and write fine!?
    I am very confused, could it be a dodgy dvd? I burned it and it seems to work fine, burned it straight from the download so could the download be corrupted?
    Its a pain as they are dual layered DVDS and cost a fair amount! Its so frustrating as its my new mac and I just want to get it up and running and do some editing I thought it would all run smoothly, what with it being Mac and all.. :-(
    Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

    Hmm... it seems as if you went through the correct procedures... here's what I'd do, though...
    Buy an inexpensive enclosure for your 'old' hard drive (OWC is a good source) and keep the SSD installed in your MBP. Boot from the 'old' drive.
    Use Disk Utility to reformat the SSD - format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition.
    Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your old drive to the SSD. You'll have the option of creating the Recovery partition - do so.
    Beofre rebooting, choose the SSD as your Startup Disk under System Preferences. Then reboot. You should boot into your (speedy) SSD now.
    Let me know if this doesn't work.
    Clinton
    BTW: I prefer creating a USB flash drive (8GB+) as a bootable installaton drive rather than a DVD. I've made quite a few of them using Lion DiskMaker (similar process that you describe - just automated).

  • How do i use an old time machine with a freshly installed Mountain Lion

    I recently formatted my HD, that was on OS Lion, and installed a fresh copy of OS Mountain Lion. Is  it possible to still use my time machine machine backup (from before i formatted my hard drive) with the newly formatted HD running Mountain Lion? or do i just start from scratch again.
    Thanks for the responses
    MacBook Pro 2010
    OS 10.8 (mountain Lion)

    This is the closest thing to my query that I have been able to find. I recently installed ML on my late 2011 MBP. I have tons of backups from Lion and I want to continue backing up ML. I have hesitated to do so as I fear that I will not be able to recover my data and settings in the event that I decide to downgrade to Lion. If I was to downgrade back doe Lion; could I use a ML TM backup to recover my files and settings?

  • Installing Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, Install failed and HD write-locked

    I recently downloaded the mountain lion installer from the App Store and I ran the installer. Stupid person as I am, I did not have any backups for my file and I naively assumed that an apple OS installer would be without flaws. Boy, was I wrong. I need every bytes of my data (or close to every bytes) but the installer failed.
    Mid installation, the installer stopped and said that the installation failed and that I need to repair my disk. So I restarted the computer and I ran disk utilities (my start up disk was the OS installer and the installer allows me to run several programs, including terminal, disk utilities, and by the way, when I held option while starting up to see which start up disks I have, I only had the OS installer as the start up disk. Also, the installer allows me to run a program called "Startup Disk" when I click on the apple logo on the top left corner, but it doesn't allow me to startup my computer using Macintosh HD) and noticed that when I highlighted Macintosh HD, my "Repair Disk" button was grayed out. So first things first, I ran the "Verify Disk" button but after a minute or so, Disk Utilities said that verification failed and that Macintosh HD needs to be repaired. But the "repair disk" button is grayed out! So I went to the Mountain Lion installer again and ran it. Of course, it failed again so I restarted the computer.
    So I tried to first back up all files in Macintosh HD to an external hard drive using Disk Utilities, and I used features such as "New Image" and "Restore" but they both ended up in "Input/Output error". I tried many methods with Disk Utilities but they resulted in errors.
    After some research, I noticed that some people's computers worked after they reset their PRAM. So that's what I did. I held command+option+P+R when computer started up and I reset the PRAM. When the start up disk (which is the OS installer, not the normal operating system) loaded, I was greeted with choose languages option and then I was back in the Mountain Lion installer state. I again ran the installer again, hoping something would be different, but then it was different. But not in a good way. When I was told to choose where I would like to install Mountain Lion, I noticed that Macintosh HD was grayed out. Last time, I was at least able to run the installer but this time, Macintosh HD was grayed out. The installer said that my Macintosh HD was locked. After some research, I learned that apparently, the Mountain Lion installer write-locks Macintosh HD mid installation.
    So now I am stuck and I am thinking of two things (plus some questions)
    1. I am wondering if there is a way to unlock Macintosh HD. But even if I can unlock Macintosh HD, there is no guarantee that the installer will successfully install Mountain Lion, am I right?
    a. so how can I un-write-lock Macintosh HD?
    2. More realistically, I am thinking of borrowing someone else's macintosh computer and use it as the backup center. I have a firewire cable and a terrabyte external hard drive. So what I'm thinking is that I'll hook my computer in target mode to my friend's computer and I will also plug in my external hard drive to my friend's computer and then I can download and run Carbon Copy Cloner from my friend's computer to copy all data from my Macintosh HD to my external hard drive. And then I will erase my Macintosh HD, freshly install Mountain Lion onto it and then copy all data back from my external hard drive. But I am not sure about few things.
    a. it looks like my Macintosh HD is write-locked. Can I still use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy all data from Macintosh HD (in target mode) to my external hard drive?
    b. will my computer allow me to erase (or format) Macintosh HD?
    c. will my erased/formatted Macintosh HD able to install + be installed Mountain Lion OS?
    If you are here, then you have read my long long problem. Thank you very much and I would really really really appreciate your answers and opinions. Thanks

    I'm not sure where you read that about the disk being "write-locked." That doesn't make much sense, given that the major task an installer like this must achieve is writing a whole bunch of files to the hard drive. I think your source was mistaken.
    As to what happened, it sounds like your hard drive was badly corrupt to start with, or possibly was on the edge of failing and is now in the process of dying entirely. If you don't have backups of your data, that does not bode well for you, unfortunately. If you can manage to use target mode to copy your data, do that.
    Once you're sure you've got all your data, you need to start up from your Snow Leopard install disk and repair the hard drive. (Since it sounds like the Mountain Lion installer didn't work, I wouldn't trust the recovery partition that Mountain Lion installs.) Or, even better, just erase the hard drive entirely and reinstall Snow Leopard. Then, once you're back up and running, with all your data back on the system and with Snow Leopard updated to the most recent version, try installing Mountain Lion again. If any of that fails again, the problem is likely to be a dying hard drive, and you'll need to replace it.

  • Installing Mountain Lion on MBP is not a wise move?

    Hello everyone,
    I installed mountain lion on my MBP 2010 only to found that typing response and track pad response is notable sluggish. If i left my trackpad not active for 5 seconds, it takes something like 3 secs to response to my finger tapping. The typing is seems lagging for 2 secs post punching any button. If anyone found the solutions to problems above, please share with me. At some point i felt lost faith to Mac. The dismise of late Steve Job definitely affect performance of mac inc. Truely, regretted for being loyal to Mac. I guess time to change to new product. From samsung perhaps?

  • I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion.  This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store.  Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it.  I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
    In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date.  It is usually correct, to within a few weeks.  A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
    I hope this helps.

    I would delete the account and try to re-enter it. Also, you have to let your firm's IT department know that you want to sync work email on your personal devices before they actually work.

    As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17.  They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
    Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
    Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

  • I've just installed mountain lion on my macbook pro. I cannot open preview and it is also stalling the log out sequence? How can I solve this

    I've just installed Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro and cannot now open Preview. I've partly solved the reading of PDF documents by installing Adobe Reader, but Preview is also stalling the log out process. Any suggestions how I might solve this annoying trait would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

    Don't know what to tell you, but I also have an AEBS-Gen5 with a MBP Retina and Mac Mini using WiFi. Both are running Mountain Lion and I don't have any WiFi connection issues. Two iPhones in the household use WiFi with no issues along with a printer and 2 Windows 7 laptops.
    First thing I would try is to shutdown all computers connected to the AEBS. Then power off the AEBS and finally the cable/DSL modem. Then reverse the order and power on the cable modem, wait for all the lights to be solid, power on the AEBS, wait for the light to show solid green; then power up a computer that uses WiFi.
    If the above doesn't work, you might try repairing permissions via Disk Utility. If that doesn't help maybe a PRAM reset would work.
