Cannot launch OS 10.7.3(downloaded) on iMac Model A1311...

Upon loading software to iMac, Message Alert States: "Recovery system cannot be created".
What is solution for computer amateur?
iMac is a Model A1311-2389, mid 2010 production, "Core i3" 3.2 Ghz Intel, 21.5" Aluminum, 1TB HD w/ 8X SD.
Lion 10.7.3 was downloaded from iTunes.
I also have a LaCie 500 GB external hard drive and it has been "scrubbed" & now has only the GUID Partition in place. I tried to load Lion OS 10.7.3 to the external hard drive, and it appears to have loaded it, since it shows the following:
Version: 10.7.3
Format: Mac OS extended (journaled)
Capacity: 499.25 GB
Available:493.58 GB
Used: 5.67 GB on disk
Clicking on the External HD, shows the four folders: Applications - Library - System - Users
I thought if launching was going to be a problem for the iMac, I'd have Lion 10.7 on the external HD.
I have been using Apple computers since I bought my first one in 1990, a Mac SE @ $5K.
From there through OS 10.6, I have never had such a difficult time installing an operating system as OS 10.7.
Any assistance will be appreciated, but "speak" in plain terms as much as possible. Technical nomenclature can stop me in my tracks easily. That may make anyone with the solution, having a difficult task before them.

I also would like to launch 10.7 on my Macbook, mid 2008 production, which has 10.6.8 installed.
Hope this helps,

What type of router are you using? I would set up a static IP for the printer. Here is how:

After a download update 4.0, I cannot launch. Message says I need to reboot to complete a previous update. I rebooted 5 times to no avail.I have tried searching for xpicleanup.dat to no avail as suggested. What now?

I was able to get live chat support to solve the problem in my post. It worked immediately. Here is what I was told to do. I needed to perform a clean installation Hopefully, it will work for you, too.
"To perform a clean installation, first close Firefox completely. (This chat window
must be closed if it's in Firefox) Then, rename "Mozilla Firefox" to "Old Firefox".
(On 32-bit Windows, this is C:\Program Files\. On x64 Windows, this is
"C:\Program Files (x86)". On Mac, Firefox is in /Applications) Finally, re-install
Firefox normally from http://www.firefox.com"
Since I had already downloaded 4.0, I just went to my download file after renaming the file and ran it.

Just purchased and downloaded Acrobat Pro, but cannot launch it. I need to use it NOW!

I was using the Acrobat Pro trial, loved it, used it every day, so purchased the program and now cannot launch it no matter how many times I download it and try. Can anyone help?

What OS? Assuming you are using Windows, there may be something leftover from the trial installation. Try using the cleaner tool and then re-installing.

I downloaded Photoshop, but cannot launch it because my Mac is not 64 bit. If I buy a new Mac, will I be able to download Photoshop again?

Yes of course.
You can download and install it as many times as you like on as many computers as you wish.
But you're always restricted to a maximum of two activations at any time.

I cannot launch bridge from photoshop cc 2014

I cannot launch bridge from photoshop cc 2014

If you have downloaded and installed Bridge CC and it worked with Photoshop CC,
a common reason for this happening in CC 2014, is that you might have uninstalled Photoshop CC. If that's so, you need to reinstall Photoshop CC.

Cannot launch Java Report Panel

I would like to use the 'Advanced' Web Intelligence editor.
Unfortunately, when I attempt to edit a WI report, I get a message that reads 'This software has already been installed on your computer. Would you like to reinstall it?'
If I allow the installation, Java 6, Update 3 is downloaded and installed. I restart the browser. Attempting to edit the WI report generates the installation message.
If I don't allow the installation, I get an error that reads 'Cannot launch Java Report Panel, please make sure you have installed a Java virtual machine.'.
It never gets out of this installation loop.
At one point, the Advance editor worked, then something changed.
The Java Control Panel indicates that I have JRE versions 1.6.0_03 and 1.6.0._20 installed (in the Java Applet Runtime Settings). In addition, versions 1.4.2_04, 1.4.2_07, 1.4.2_12, and 1.6.0_03 are listed in the JNLP Runtime settings.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem and I don't see an answer here. I have uninstalled every instance of java and restarted my computer, then installed the one suggested here: Cannot launch Java Report Panel, please make sure you have installed a Java virtual machine. (the Java Virtual Machine was a link). Restarted again, tried again, same error. On the sun page, I tested my java installation and it works fine. I have checked that java is enabled in both IE and Firefox and I still get this error in either browser. I am using Windows XP.
Upon comparing my computer with my coworker's java configurations, we found that she has a certificate called "Business Objects America" and I don't have that. Could that be the problem, and if so, where can I get that certificate? There was no active X question as I would have expected to see asking to run active X or not. I can't find any certificate downloads on your site at all.
Please advise ASAP because I need to use this Web Intelligence Reporting and I cannot get in.
Thank you.

Safari icon changed and cannot launch safari, Safari icon changed and cannot launch safari

Safari icon changed and cannot launch safari

Try these things first:
1) See if the Safari icon in the Dock is linked to the Safari application. Command-click on it and see if it shows Safari in the Applications folder. If not, the alias on the Dock is corrupted, or it is no longer pointing to where Safari is (hopefully, Safari is still in the Applications folder).If Safari is in the Applications folder, but the Dock icon did not properly find it, remove the old icon from the Dock and drag Safari onto the Dock to establish a fresh icon and link to the Application. If Safari cannot be found, do a Spotlight search for it, or restore it from a Time Machine backup (if you have one). If not, download it and reinstall it.
2) If you can locate Safari from the Dock and it still won't launch, then trash Safari's preference file. From your Finder, Option-click on the Go menu and scroll to select the Library folder. Open the Preferences folder and locate the com.apple.Safari.plist file. Send this to the Trash and try to relaunch Safari.
Hope this helps!

Cannot launch Dolby Home Theater after Windows 10 upgrade

Hi, I'm using a Z50-70 and one of my favorite things about it is the Dolby Digital Plus feature. But after upgrading to Windows 10, I cannot launch it anymore. All I have is this sucky Conexant audio driver. Will there be a solution for this in the future? Because I'm thinking of going back to Windows 8.1 even if it is tad slow just to be able to use the Dolby audio again.

:0hey i found the solution uninstall the dolby driver if it was installed previously now download the latest (http://support.lenovo.com/hr/hr/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-z-series-laptops/lenovo-z50-70?TabName=Downloads) and restart ur pc the go to c drive path:C:\Program Files\CONEXANT\Install\Audio\DolbyGUI install it from there it works for me...........

Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc. Tried all solutions using Itunes and it doesn't delete them from iphone

Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc. Tried the ITunes solution and it does not delete the photos. Try a second time and Sync doesn't even start

I see the photos tab and "My Pictures" folder shows. Sync is unselected. It asks if I want to delete the photos when I click on sync and I said yes but it didn't work. It does seem that some photos are removed based on available storage left (decreases). If I select individual folders, subfolders of "My Pictures" then hit Sync deselected Sync doesn't even start.

Mail cannot launch because it says Home Driectory is full? It is not full!!

Hi There:
I have two users on my computer and for some reason I cannot launch my mail program on one of them. Both users are listed as administrators and I have 2 hard drives installed using a firmtek controller card. The first drive where the OS is installed is an 80Bg drive with more than 57Gb available.
When I launch Mail on the first user ut says:
Mail cannot update your mailboxes becasue your Home Directory is full. You must free up space. Delete unnecessary files or documents. The thing is I have tons of space. The other user I can launch mail with no problems. I do have multiple mailboxes set up with the mail program that has the issues.
Please advise
Thanks

Hi Cyclops Images.
Corruption of ~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index is known to cause this bogus error message in Mail, even when there is enough space available on disk.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

HT1725 I purchased a book and although it is shown in my library the word "paused" is written across it and I cannot access. i presume the download did not complete, but can't seem to fix it.

I purchased a book in advance. It is now in my library, but the word "paused" appears across the book and I cannot access. I assume the download did not complete, but I cannot seem to fix it. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping upward on the app window (not the smaller icon) off the screen.
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

After iOS7 update I cannot launch the music app. It crashes after a few seconds of white screen. What to do?

Just updated my iPhone 5 (16g) to iOS7 and now I cannot launch the music app anymore.
It opens and then just crashes after a few seconds of white screen.
Also If I go to Settings General About the phone crashes all the time after just a few seconds. :-(
Andreas

The same for me. iPhone 4S, itunes match and upgrade to ios7 by air.
So what we have:
1) Music app does not launch (white screen then close)
2) About screen crashes (I guess once it tries to calculate music space)
3) Spotlight does not show any results (no care what I set to search in in the preferences)
4) iTunes Match slider can not be set to Off. However, it is possible to logout from AppleID, then it off. But this does not change the situaton at all
5) Podcast app does not launch
I tried to reboot, to sign in with another Apple ID, to turn off itunes Match, to reset all preferences. Nothing helps.
Things to try:
- reset all preferences and content
- reinstall ios7 with itunes from scratch
- switch to windows phone

I cannot get Elemtnts 13.1 to download completely. I have three different case numbers from Adobe and nothing helps. I always get the "download failed" and the error code u44m1i210.

I cannot get Elements 13.1 to download completely. I have 3 different case numbers from Adobe and nothing helps. I always get the "download failed" and the error code u44m1i210. I would either like to get the product downloaded or eliminate the constant attempt which just ties up my computer.

You could try the direct download links here

I cannot view pdf files with free download from Adobe. Simple

I cannot view pdf documents, since recent download of Adobe Reader. Click pdf doc, Adobe opens, but bleeps if I click anywhere on the screen, then closes.
Recently I tried to look at my Amex Statement online, but Adobe wouldn't show the file.
I downloaded the Statement, but every attempt to view, is futile!!!!!!
Today, I downloaded, Assistant and signed in. Also Adobe Air. But still the Statement cannot be viewed.
If this is a free download, why change the setup so the damn thing doesn't work, when downloaded. I don't want to view the "World", just 1 document. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. (Words of some intellect, I would say) (Please take note)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Use the Adobe Cleaner to completely uninstall Reader. http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, download the full offline installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and run it to reinstall a good working copy of Reader.
