Clean install MacBook

We have a MacBook w.w Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo that needs a clean install because it ejects commercial CDs. It accepts all other media and empty CDs. We own a disk for OS Leopard 10.5 and the disks for the 15 inch MacBook Pro 10.5.6. Can we use the 10.5.6 disks for this installation or do we have to start with the old Leopard and update?

Thanks for your reply Sig. I have been through the hardware issues to the point of having a new superdrive installed. The issue has not been resolved which leads me to believe that it is a software issue that the service center did not deal with. The only action left at this point is a clean install to see if this will take care of the problem. The computer is my daughters and her original disks are in another country. She is home on vacation right now and I would like to solve this issue for her. I have a Mac OSX Leopard Install DVD version 10.5 that, as you said, should work. I am trying to confirm that.

I am trying to do a clean install MacBook Pro

I am trying to do a clean install on my Dad's older MackBook Pro. He downloads things he shouldn't and after frustrations trying to wipe ou trojans and bad files I just decided that the only way to make this thing work again is to clean install it. It was already running yosemite when I started.
I followed the directions at
www.osxdaily.com/2014/10/18/clean-install-os-x-yosemite/
I used a flash drive to install os x yosemite installer and made it bootable per the instructions on the site.
Everything seemed to work fine, I loaded the drive as the statup disk, I erased the partitions and the hard drive with disk utitilies using the installer flash drive.
However when I try to start to Install Os X it runs for about 10 minutes and then gets stuck at "one second left" I accessed the log errors and got this

NSScrollView or one of its superclasses may have overridden -layout without calling super. Or, something may have dirtied layout in the middle of updating it. Both are programming errors in Cocoa Autolayout. The former is pretty likely to arise if some pre-Cocoa Autolayout class had a method called layout, but it should be fixed.
I already have his pertinant files back up. I just need to install a new system on this empty hard drive. What did I do wrong?

Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

Full back up for clean install macbook

I need to do a clean install of my operating system. How do I KNOW that I've done a good enough back up so that I won't have lost anything?

So...I'll have everything? I was just checking. I have nothing chosen as an exclusion from Time Machine. My finder is not doing well, and Apple recommended that I do a clean install, and then re-install all my applications from their original disks slowly to see if the problem returns. I don't want to embark on this and discover that it didn't work or that I've overlooked something and that I've lost some of my stuff.
Thanks for the help.

A clean install on my MacBook Pro has left my icons stuck on the right side of the desktop. I want to move them but there is no 'None' option which I think would free them to move where I wish. Suggestions?

A clean install on my MacBook Pro has left me with my icons stuck in the grid on the right side of my desktop. I had the ability to move them and have them stay put in various sectors of the desktop, which I found very useful. The clean install upgraded the OS to 10.6.8 from 10.5.8. I want to move them again but there I see no 'None' option which I think would free them to move where I wish. Has the upgrade deleted that option? Suggestions? I am new to this community and if not new to Mac, I often feel that way. This is one of those times.

I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

Can my macbook pro mid 2007 3.1 AA896ll/a handle a SSD and how do I make the switch. Can I do a clean install of Snow Leopard from an original cd

Here is my problem, I want to upgrade my macbook pro mid 2007 3.1 AA896ll/a to an Solid State Drive, a Crucial m4 256 gb, I want to know if the macbook will be able to handle it and how do I do the switch. also once I install the drive will I be able to boot from my Snow Leoard original cd and do a clean install. Thank you

Coming from a 5,400 RPM drive that's nearly filled up, fragmented and deoptimized to a fresh install of OS X on a SSD will of course be a improvement.
However fresh installing OS X on a new 5,400 RPM will also see a improvement, boot up in 30 seconds.
A fresh install of OS X on a new 7,200 RPM drive will also see a improvement, boot up in 25 seconds.
A fresh install of OS X on a new SSD will see the best improvement, boot up in 20 seconds on fast SATA connections.
OS X still requires time to setup and that takes about 20 seconds despite how fast your boot drive is, that's why sleep was created.
Things to consider: The higher cost of a SSD, the limiting capacity (hard drives hold way more up), the SATA I speed limitations (slows up on large file transfers), the difficulty to scrub the SSD of unwanted data (like you can a hard drive), and it's limited write capability. Also the smaller SSD's are faster than the larger ones.
SSD's are shock proof, which is their slight advantage over hard drives.
I see a 120GB SSD in a SATA I machine as being a waste, it's too small of a storage space (500GB+ is ideal), the SATA I connection is slow and other factors that make a 7,200 RPM drive a better option in that machine.
One can get a 750 GB 7,200 RPM hard drive for about the same price and still maximize their boot time in the process, also being able to scrub their drive of unwanted data easily.
SSD's can't be scrubbed, one has to fill 50% of the remaining space with many, very small files to overwrite the free space, then do another 50% again to defeat the Trim/wear leveling as SSD's write to less used location each time. If one fills a OS X boot drive up completely, it won't function or won't boot up.
If you do this fill routine regularly with software, then you prematurely wear out the SSD as it has limited writes. Why Disk Utility doesn't offer zero or 7x erase for SSD's.
If your in the 10% of Internet traffic that's going to adult sites, then the ability to scrub the caches and storage drive of embarrassing unwanted data is a necessity. Especially in the light of software and hardware that can read the SSD of deleted data.
Trick links and redirects on poisoned sites can firebomb your Mac with some pretty bad pictures and your hidden caches as well, especially if you don't like to pay.
IT personal have at their disposal free open source forensic software that basically aggregates all the past behavior done on the machine into a nice, easy to view format with times, dates and when and where content was downloaded from.
Since one has to give up their password for repair folks to recover data and fix the machine...
I think a SSD is less of a benefit over a 7,200 hard drive for that particular model of Mac for a mere few seconds faster boot time.

I'm unable to do a clean install of Firefox 6 on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8.

I'm unable to do a clean install of Firefox 6 on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8. After trashing the firefox.app from the Applications folder and trashing a related file in the Library folder and then reinstalling, all of my previously opened windows and tabs reappear. And the history and bookmarks are populated too! Then, the computer freezes up so that I must reboot. Because these windows automatically open and the history and bookmarks are populated with my old history and bookmarks, I believe this is not a clean install. Please help.

If I do a clean install on my MacBook Pro will I be able to re-install apps (FCP, Aperture, MS Office etc.) from a Time Machine backup, or will I need the original install DVDs with authorization codes?

I have two questions...
1) If I do a clean install on my MacBook Pro will I be able to re-install apps (FCP, Aperture, MS Office etc.) from a Time Machine backup, or will I need the original install DVDs with authorization codes? (because I don't have them)
2) Has anyone ever seen anything like this before on their computers?
The Apple Genius' were stumped by my laptop issues and said they'd never seen anything like it before and recommended I did a clean install. Below you can see my trash bin, and if you look at the "Empty" button it reads "N201" and then there's the "N39" to the left of it. You can also see these numbers over by the folder area--"SD5, SD6, SD7." But that's not all...
When I right click on items I see the numbers again. Instead of "Open with" I get "N152" and there's an "N35" and "LB1" towards the bottom.
I have no idea what's going on so I'm just going to do a clean install on my machine but I don't want to lose my apps. I don't have the original install DVDs for them anymore. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

You don't lose them. You can always redownload them from the app store after you log back in with your Apple ID.
"Buy, download, and even redownload.
You can install apps on every Mac you use and even download them again. This is especially convenient when you buy a new Mac and want to load it with apps you already own."

MacBook Pro i7 crashes after clean install of Mountain Lion

I have a Core i7 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM. Running MacOS 10.7.4 I was having almost daily crashes. So I did a super clean install of Mountain Lion (reformat hard drive, install fresh copy of Mountain Lion by booting from a USB install drive, update to 10.8.2, bring in user data from Time Machine backup without using Migration Assistant, etc.). Unfortunately the crashes continue - I've had three in the last two days. I've provided the crash log below. The Mac crashed and spontaneously restarted on its own. Does anyone have any idea of what the issue is?
By the way, I looked in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports and the crash detailed below did not leave a log. Is there someplace else I should be looking for a full crash log following a kernal panic?
Thanks, Eric

Issues with clean install of Snow Leopard in Leopard MacBook

Hi all,
This is the sequence of events:
1) MacBook from 2007, running Leopard.
2) Got Snow Leopard, did the install on top of the existing OS, just as an "update".
2) After machine restarts, several issues were detected, apparently all OS related: Finder crashed, Apple Mail didn't even open, etc.
3) Download software update from Apple.com (for "performance improvement"). Installer itself crashes!! Can't install update.
4) Decided to go for a clean install with complete restore of hard drive
5) Put in Snow Leopard DVD, boot from it, erase and format hard drive. Got a "Can´t install... contact the manufacturer" error.
6) Don't have my original Leopard OS DVDs at hand at the moment, but will try that later.
Question is: to do a clean install, after restoring the hard drive, do I need to install Leopard first, and only after that Snow Leopard?
(I tried installing Leopard from the DVDs of another MacBook (2008), that didn´t work either. I gather it could be small hardware differences, so I'm still hopeful for when I try with my original restore DVDs...)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!! I mean, this is was supposed to be a no-brainer... :-/

1. You have some peripheral or RAM that is not compatible with the installation.
See my FAQ*: http://www.macmaps.com/badram.html if there are no peripherals attached. You need a minimum of 1 GB of RAM to install Snow Leopard.
1. No peripherals. RAM is only what came with original machine. Have 2GB.

2. Your machine has some hardware issue preventing installation:

2. Will verify this later with the original installation CDs. It would be bad news... my MAC was running completely fine before Snow Leopard!!

3. You are using the wrong installer disc. For a 2007 machine, only a copy of Snow Leopard which looks like * that does not say Upgrade or DropIn or OEM will work.

Thanks a lot for the input! Greatly appreciated.

How do I do a clean install of Snow Leopard on a mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro

Hello All,
I am replacing a dead hard drive without any backups (I'm fixing someone else's computer), so I want to do a clean install. When I boot the retail Snow Leopard DVD, I get a kernel panic. Is this the wrong DVD? I don't have the original DVD that came with the Macbook Pro, so I don't know what version it's supposed to be.
Specs: mid 2010 Macbook Pro 13" with nVidia 320, Intel Core 2 Duo, and 4GB RAM.
The kernel panic had me thinking maybe I had bad RAM, but I've already swapped out the RAM with same results.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks, Niel.
Apple Support sent me a Snow Leopard DVD 10.6.4 - not retail, but the original one that came with the MacBook Pro. However, I did not get a chance to use it, but I'm sure it'll work.
What I did instead was to make a USB thumb drive of Mavericks 10.9.2. It installed without any problems on the 2010 MacBook Pro. No kernel panics, etc. Thanks for your help.

I need help doing a clean install.( keyboard shortcuts?).Macbook will not read any of the disks/ turns off

I installed a new 'used' Logic board, im my macbook 13.3 and it turned right on!..( i was out of warrenty)
Apple logo and spiing wheel, then turns off..
After reading several forums, I went into self mode, did the 2 checks within in and got an error which pointed to the OS software being currupted..
so I have inserted the Os disk, the disk-repair disk and a disk warrior disk, but none of them are being read. I hear the Macbook starting to read the disk then the disks are ejected and the systen turns off.
Is there a way i can do a clean install on the HD? shortcut keyboard shortcuts?
or force the disks to be read as the first boot device like of that in a PC's bios settup?
I have no data on the computer that I wish to save btw.. just want a fresh install..
thanks for any help in advance.

Unfortunately the necessary software to reinstall your OS is not located on the hard drive. If your MacBook will not accept the disks you have you are going to need a hardware repair, probably the optical drive.
If you have access to another MacBook you may be able to install the OS on an external hard drive and use that to boot your MacBook. You may then be able to get any data off of your hard drive.
Best of luck.

Please Help

Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous.

What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2? I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.

What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2? I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.

If the bank account permits, I suggest getting a 1 TB SSD anyway. One cannot have too much storage.
Unless you are having issues with your current installation, a 'clean' install is not necessary. It would be more efficient to clone your current drive to the new SSD, test it, and then do the swap. The installation of Mavericks over Snow Leopard can be done either before or after the cloning process.
Ciao.

New hard drive, clean install of Lion, but MacBook Pro is still freezing

Hi everyone,
Even the folks at the Apple store don't seem to know what's going on with my MacBook Pro.
My hard drive crashed a few weeks ago. I bought a Western Digital Scorpio Blue and replaced it myself. The MacBook didn't seem to like it (lots of freezing, going really slow, etc) and so, after reading online that many MacBook Pro users did not like the WD Scoprio Blue, I returned it and bought a 320 GB Hitachi. Before replacing the WD drive with the Hitachi drive, I used SuperDuper! to make my external hard drive a clone of the WD hard drive. I replaced the WD with the Hitachi, booted from the external, and then restored all my stuff to the Hitachi. The computer still didn't work so well, so I did a zero-out erase and a clean install of Lion. I dragged my files over individually (only about 100 GB of word documents, music, and photos). For the first two days, everything worked perfectly. Then I started getting these error messages:
Word: Word cannot save or create this file. The disk may be full or write protected. Try one of the following. *Free more memory. *Make sure that the disk you want to save the file on is not full, write-protected, or damaged.
Chrome: Your profile could not be opened correctly. Some features may be unavailable. Please check that the profile exists and you have permission to read and write its contents.
Dragging files to trash: The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -50).
Fireforx: Close Firefox. A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.
In addition, the computer kept freezing. I also had problems with Mail and iTunes. Disk verify, permission verify, S.M.A.R.T. utility all said that the hard drive was working fine though.
So, I brought the computer to Apple. They did a zero-out erase, reinstalled Lion, and did what they called a "software repair". They said it should work fine. I just got home from the store, booted up the computer, and it's barely working. All sorts of error messages, safari won't work, it keeps freezing, and I was only able to open disk utility once. I verified disk, and it came up with no problems. I verified disk permissions, and when I tried to repair disk permissions, it kept saying it was "unable" to.
I don't know what it could be. It's not the hard drive...I've run disk utility, S.M.A.R.T., and an app that checks the hardware associated with the drive. All of these programs say the hard drive is absolutely fine. I've also reset PRAM. Another thing worth noting is that I'm currently booting/working off of my external, and it works absolutely perfectly.
Any ideas? One of my friends suggested I go back to Snow Leopard, but I don't see what difference that would make. Please help! Anything would be very much appreciated! Thanks!!

The theory is that you have a weak bit in one of the modules, and sometimes (rarely) it flips over. The trick is to try and catch it.
If you move the modules, the weak bit will be at a different Address in memory. Different things will be loaded into the word with the weak bit, and the symptoms may be different.
It may not do anything at all. But it is so easy to try, it is worth a shot.
On a multi-module memory, you need to keep your wits about you when doing this, or you put them back the way they were originally. So you should pick a direction and always move them your "regular" direction.
