Hi there,
When you boot from your USB to reinstall. Try opening the Disk Util and running the diagnostics on your Hard Drive (well SDD drive)...
Run also a hardware test to make sure everything is fine (what you have may be a wrond HD or RAM that will need replacing). Try this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
If everything is ok then USB drive you are using may be to blame. Try creating a new one. You can ask a friend with a Mac to create one for you or go to an Apple store where they will reinstal the original OS.

  • Error message when trying to install Mavericks onto macbook pro.

    Hi Been trying to install Mavericks onto my macbook pro (10.6.8) but the install fails after 3-5 minutes and I get this error message: *** WARNING: -[NSImage compositeToPoint:fromRect:operation:] is deprecated in MacOSX 10.8 and later. Please use -[NSImage drawAtPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction:] instead.
    I have tried to repair the drive through the utility function but I am told it cannot be repaired. I tried the recovery function as well but whilst I am able to select the source (external hard drive with recent time machine backup) the next screen prompts me to select the disk to restore but all it does is search for a drive and there is none there to select.
    Really not sure what else to do. Please help!

    Well some progress has been made so thought i would post what I did, in case someone experiences the same issue I did and maybe this will be of use to someone else...
    Ended up force-shutting my macbook down then switching back on, as soon as the chime could be heard i pressed command R and kept both keys pressed until Recovery mode kicked in.
    Internet Recovery came on which took approx 20 minutes (more about this here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718 )
    Then 4 options appeared
    1) recover with time machine back up
    2) set up and install Mac OSX (with the Lion icon and reference to Lion for some reason, I had Snow Leopard to begin with)
    3) get help online
    4) repair or erase disk using disk utility
    I decided to attempt to repair the drive but use the verification tool first which said the drive was fine??????!!!
    Then clicked on repair disk, this took only a few minutes then it stopped after a couple lines.
    While it was "repairing" the button changed to "stop repair" then changed back to "repair" so I took that to mean it had done what had to be done.
    Then closed the utility screen whch prompted me to restart macbook after selected a drive to boot up from (only one option came up for me)
    Did that and I was back into familiar territory and on my mac as I knew it ie snow leopard.
    I did restart macbook just to make sure and it just booted up as normal, to snow leopard with the maverick install icon still showing in the dock.
    Panic over. Not sure if / when I will give installing Maverick another try though....

    I am trying to download new version of iTunes from App store having purchased it on my laptop.  When I try to download on my iMac I get the following message:
    Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows:  iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store - and then I am asked if I want to buy it again. I don't understand the error message and I don't want to purchase the new version again.

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.

  • Error Messages when trying to install, uninstall or run iTunes 9

    I get the following error message when trying to Install iTunes:
    The path C:\DOCUME~1\Frank\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP206.TMP\iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
    I search my entire computer for the file but it's not there.
    Then, when I try to uninstall the iTunes and start the install from scratch I get another error:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
    Catch-22, I can't install or uninstall and when I try to run iTunes I get:
    "The action is only valid for products that are installed"
    Very frustrating but I'm stumped and I don't know how to proceed. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    wooooooooo!!! got it working again!! having spent the last 6 hours..no joke six f*cking hours trying to sort it ive finally got iTunes back!!
    ok here is what you need to do:
    go to the link below and download the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Facility.
    http://www.locksleynet.com/2009/06/09/missing-itunesmsi-problem-resolved/
    once you have downloaded it, install it and run it from the start menu. once its up and running remove everything to do with iTunes (so iTunes itself, quicktime, bonjour......the lot). Dont worry about removing iTunes completely, all the music is still there when it works again trust me!!
    ok once you have removed everything restart your computer, im not sure if this is a must but i did it.
    next download quicktime from the apple website (go to the 'downloads' tab near the top. download and install quicktime and restart your computer so the new settings are put in to place ( i think it asks you to restart anyway).
    go back to the apple website, 'downloads' tab and download iTunes itself. install that bad boy and you will be up and running with all your library intact!
    Hope it works for you mate!

  • Error messages when trying to install Microsoft Works 4.0 on my Hard Drive

    My internal hard drive crashed (died) with all of my applications (programs) on it. I have successfully installed back all of my applications from the original program disks with the exception of Microsoft Works Vers. 4.0c. Works will not install the original software back on my HD even though I have the original Works program floppy disks. I get the following error messages when I try to run the Installer program on the Works program floppies. 1st error message: Microsoft setup was not completed successfully. 2nd error message: Setup was unable to locate a valid setup table file and cannot proceed without one.
    When the crash occurred I had my system folder running OS 9.1 on my other Internal HD so I did not have any startup issues, etc. (thankfully)
    I have a gut feeling that because I still have some Works files in my system folder they may be causing the setup program from running properly.
    I am hoping someone knows a work around to help me get Works installed back on my HD.

    And that message is exactly? I hope you are aware that you are trying to install software from the stoneage and it may simply no longer be compatible...

  • HT1386 I get an error message when I try to sync my iPod touch - "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

    I recently installed a new hard drive on my PC, downloaded iTunes, updated the software on my iPod touch and now I get this error message when I try to sync:  "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  It never did this before, whether it's the upgrade in software or something in iTunes, but it's very frustrating, since I'd like to add more things to my iPod.
