Cannot install lion when i try to reinstall it

I've tried to reinstall lion using command-R, but during the download stage, approximately half way it says i don't have an internet connection. I doubled check if I had internet(My connection was fine) and I was using an ethernet cable. So I have to restart the download, and I've done it 5 times already. Can anyone help me please?

That's fine. Just needed to be sure you weren't trying to connect with both. If Lion is still installed, have you tried creating a USB thumb drive using the Lion Recovery Assistant with the Recovery HD on it and install that way?
I haven't tried reinstalling using the Recovery HD so I'm at a lose. Maybe someone else with experience with this type of error can chime in.

Have you tried booting from the Recovery HD to reinstall Lion?
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
You will need the Apple ID and password used to purchase Lion. If you have not purchased Lion, then you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD and install Snow Leopard then update it to 10.6.8 to access the App Store where you can purchase and download Lion under your own Apple ID. Or you can purchase the Apple USB Lion installer flash drive at any local Apple retailer or the Online Store.

I am getting this error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to Firefox home. I have uninstalled add-ons, uninstaleed and reinstalled a fresh new firefox which did not help

I am getting the following error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to firefox home. I uninstalled add-ons , uninstalled Firefox and then installed a fresh version. Still have the problem.
Thanks for the help

That issue can be caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation (multiple versions can be installed side-by-side; SxS) that is missing some runtime components (Redistributable Packages) that Firefox depends on (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).
You need to install the missing components (e.g. VisualC++ 2005 Redistrbutable).

When I try to reinstall PS 5.0 on my Home XP computer & it wont start installing. It Works on Vista

When I try to reinstall Photoshop 5.0 on my Home XP computer it won't start installing. It use to work fine o this computer before I did a disk restore. I tried it on my Windows Vista machine and it works fine? Any suggestions? Thanks

I read this forum string, and others related to the exact same topic.
I played around with some of the suggestions, but nothing worked.
However, I did create my own solution.
Under WinXP (with Admin access) I created a new "Photoshop" user account, with Administrator-level access, with a password.
Problem solved.
I switched users to the new Photoshop account, entered the password, and Windows did its thing setting up a new user with an almost blank desktop. I found the executable for Photoshop (5.0.2), and it fired right up.
I don't think the problem was WinXP SP-3, per se. I think we all have so many programs that load up and start on our machines, with files that are TSR (terminate and stay resident) in RAM, that the newer files may conflict with older files used by older software, in this case, Photoshop 5.0.
I hope this works for you. Photoshop 5.0 is still a great program. Granted, there are many more capabilities with newer Adobe software, but all I really need is 5.0.

This has nothing to do with CC or any of that. You have insufficient user privileges to write files locally on your computer or a technical issue gets in teh way. Since you have not provided any system info or otehr details, we cannot tell you more than that.

If you have Windows 7 Pro you can try to install CS3 in XP mode.

After installing iTunes update I couldn't get into iTunes so I uninstalled but when I try to reinstall and click download now it goes right to thank you for downloading iTunes but nothing downloaded.

After installing the latest iTunes upgrade I could not access my iTunes so I uninstalled it and all of it's components like instructed in support but when I try to reinstall and click on download now, it goes right to thank you for downloading iTunes but nothing downloaded.

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Also tried restoring system from backup but just does the same thing
This is where a HD clone is so important, ...
Time Machine can do nothing with/to a crashed / failing HD.
Like refilling a gumball machine with a hole in the bottom, ....futile.
At least your vital data is backed up. Look into getting a new internal HD. Very cheap fix $65 for a new HD.
If you have Apple care on your 2011 macbook, contact them for repair/ HD replacement.

TS4303 When I try to Reinstall Mac OS X Lion using the Recovery by choosing the partition, I got an error message saying that it protected. What should I do?

My Macbook Pro will not start anymore after the update.
When I try to Reinstall Mac OS X Lion using the Recovery by choosing the partition, I got an error message saying that it protected. What should I do?

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Macbook Air with no OSX (Mid 2011) ... cannot install Lion nor Snow Leopard

I have a Macbook Air with no OSX (Mid 2011) ... and I cannot install Lion nor Snow Leopard.
I purchased this Macbook Air 13" and found that the OS had been wiped off. Since then I've been able to get the Recovery Disk Assistant to get me into the Recovery Partition on the MBA... but when I try the "Reinstall Mac OS X" from within Mac OS X Utilities, the download fails after 30 sec. and I get the error message, "Could not find installation information for this machine. Contact Apple Care". This MBA is still covered under Apple's Applecare, but the nearest Apple Store is 3 hrs away and from what I've read, they may not be able to help me.
I know all about Build 11A2063 but cannot figure out where or how to get that.
Also, I've tried making a bootable Lion Drive from my Mac Mini onto a flashdrive, but this too did not work on the MBA (I assume because it isn't Build 11A2063).
I have a huge expensive paper weight with no idea of where to go from here. Any help would be much appreciated.

Where did you buy an MBA without an operating system? Was this from another individual who took the liberty to remove the Mac OS X before selling it to you?
You might try calling Apple customer support and have them walk you through the process, as they can figure out just what version of the OS should be on that machine.

Help! When I try to reinstall CS6 Design and Web Prem i get message that my serial number is invalid

When I try to reinstall CS6 Design and Web Prem i get message that my serial number (Design and Web Prem <serial number removed>) is not valid? Why???? I have it installed now on just one computer only. It was installed also on a computer and a laptop. The laptop crashed and couldn't restart anymore. I had to through it away. After that I installed on another computer at a place where I work sometimes with photoshop. Then suddenly I got message at my computer home that the serialnumber is invalid. I installed for the time an try out version, and now I have deleted the version that I had on the computer but when i want to reinstall my legal bought version with the serial number that i mention there, I get again the message that my serial number is invalid. But now it is only installed on 1 other computer. If I check the sites, I have to contact Adobe but I don't know how. The link does not work and I cannot find any phonenumber.!!

If you had it on a laptop that crashed and you threw away, it is still considered as activated on that machine. YOu should contact Adobe by chat or by phone and have them deactivate for you.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

If you are getting a message that indicates the serial number is not valid, you should look thru the following:

What's wrong? Kernel panic when I try to reinstall my iMac G4

Hello everyone. This is my last ditch effort to salvage something from my iMac G4 before I bin it.
To cut a long story short, the iMac was misbehaving, so I wiped its hard drive using target disk mode, and now, when I try to reinstall it using the original system disk, it immediately goes to a kernel panic and tells me to restart. The hardware test tells me that everything's OK. So... what next?
I've tried reinstalling using target disk mode, but it didn't work (nothing happened, I'm assuming because my new machine is an Intel while the iMac is a Power PC...)
Any helpful suggestions would be gratefully received.

Given the age of the unit, there is a possibility that the internal
hard disk drive may have failed. Sometimes, those will not show
on the Apple Hardware Test. But there are times when the booted
Disk Utility version on the Installer disc may note a problem in the
hard disk drive, via the SMART status of that hard drive.
Even that may not indicate an actual failure of the drive, after it has.
But kernel panics can be caused by several items, especially in an
older computer that has been around awhile. Some of those have a
history of a kernel panic relating to the logic board or other circuit;
and bad RAM is one of the causes of hardware related KPs.
If you can boot the computer from the Installer disc and run Disk Utility
from its options in the Installer header menu, the problem may be with
the internal hard disk drive. The unit may require further troubleshooting.
You may be able to find interested persons locally through a Mac user
group or someone at an affiliated service department who handles them.
Also, there are regional or local online listings for selling items where you
would actually meet the buyer or seller, often in a third or neutral location.
There are some fair take-apart links, some posted to these Discussions,
showing how to replace a hard disk drive, internal RAM, and optical drive;
and some users may also know of a source for more technical manuals.
If you had an external FireWire enclosure for a boot capable hard disk drive
you could try to further troubleshoot the iMac G4; set up correctly, you could
install OS X to an external drive. Not all FireWire HDD units are boot-capable.
Good luck & happy computing!
