Error when installing Lion on empy HD: "Couldn't find app store version, falling back to hardcoded"

I've run in to a problem that is making me tear the hair from my head. I'm hoping for your help!
Short story:
I'm trying to install OS X Lion on my 27" iMac.
I've erased the HD using Disc Tool in recovery.
HD shows no errors.
I've tried Internet Recovery (it loads up, but wont start the installation)
I've tried creating a recovery usb on another similar iMac, and use it on this. Same error, only differance is it keeps "loading" when installing, but nothing happens. Same error in log.
When I try to start the Reinstall I get an error in the installation log that goes something like this:
Install Mac OS X Lion[354:9c03] Couldn't find app store version, falling back to hardcoded
Can not connect to /var/run/systemkeychaincheck.socket: No such file or directory
Apple Care suggested:
Trying another network (doesn't work).
Install with the original Snow Leopard DVD first, then upgrade (can't do that, the DVD is lost and a DVD from another friend is not working)
What can I do to get around this error?
Someone suggested buying a usb with Snow Leopard from the apple store. Do I really have to buy a NEW operating system because the recovery doesn't work? Would I have to pay to upgrade to Lion again?

Follow AppleCare's instructions on re-installing Snow Leopard and re-installing Lion. Your friends disc won't work because the discs are machine specific. You will have to get a replacement set of your original Install Discs from AppleCare for a nominal cost.

    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.
    Also, since upgrading to Lion my videos (from Sanyo Xacti camera) do not play on iTunes. I can only open photos.

  • Bootstrapper error when installing cs6 on windows 8

    please help icant intall CS6 to my Windows 8.1

    Dear Jeff - Thanks for that - I had seen those notes on the adobe help site, but, the instructions given don't seem to apply exactly to Windows 8.1 as when I looked them up, I couldn't find the network path specified in the help document you reference:
    Windows 32 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
    Windows 64 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
    because on my windows 8.1 machine, in the  "Adobe" folder there was no "installer" folder.
    Since I wasn't sure how to find the error log, My first "Troubleshooting" move was to de-install the program  (Adobe Design Standard CS6) and then re-download the file from the adobe site here:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
    However, at the moment, the problem seems to be ok, so I guess that perhaps that fixed the problem? Fingers crossed!
    For future reference (or in case someone else is looking at this posting with a similar issue?) do you know how to find the error log on an installation on Windows 8.1? Thanks!

    I don't know much about the 10g Releases yet but I had the same error with 9.0.2.3. The problem is that OID isn't available when it needs to be.
    When you get the error, start OID using the command line then try running the config assistant again.
    Hope this helps

  • TS3212 I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    Is that an error 2 message?
    If so, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • What is the 0x80070570 error when installing Win7 or Win8 or Win 8.1 on a clean SSD/HDD ?!

    Hello,
    My computer was working perfectly with Win7 for about 2years until I formatted on monday to clean a little bit my drives ... Since then I'm unable to install windows again. I have the 0x80070570 error.
    The complete error message is:
    Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure that all files required for installation are available and restart the installation. Error code:0x80070570.
    What is the 0x80070570 error when installing Win7 or Win8 or Win 8.1 on a clean SSD/HDD ?! These versions are full from MSDN.
    What I did already:
    check my RAM (16go gskill)
    remove unnecessary hard drives
    replace my "old" SSD with a clean new one
    remove my sound cards
    remove the mouse and use only keyboard
    reset the BIOS
    check every LED on the motherboard (asus sabertooth z77) and there is no problem
    What are the problems?
    Thanks,
    Adrien.

    Hi,
    If all images cannot be installed, we have a reason to suspect the hardware cause.
    If you use two memory slots to get 16G RAM, I suggest you test with just one (8G) to check the result.

  • Update Operation Fatal Error when installing Technical Preview Build 10041 Upgrade

    I posted this in the Microsoft Community forums and was redirected here.
    Below is the original post (URL: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/update-operation-fatal-error-when-installing/6eaff1b9-0223-4357-afc8-884382590e82 )
    Hello,
    In trying to perform an upgrade install of the Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10041 (as is the latest available for direct download as of my writing), I am running into a problem I cannot find mention of anywhere else on the web.
    I fall into two categories with regards to this build: A) Product tester who actually needs to test application performance under Windows 10 on bare metal, B) Semi-crazy techie who loves using (usable) beta software as his primary environment ;)
    so it is rather important to me that I get this working on my machine in some non-virtualized respect. I am reluctant to do a full/fresh install if installation problems are happening, because my Windows 8 product key has been f***ed up from the
    start (likely some random database corruption) and I've had to utilize phone support to get around an "unknown error" the last two times I've had to use it. So, for fear of that key completely crapping out on me, I don't want to move to Win10 unless
    I'm confident it will install and I can stick with it (for better or worse) through the end. Problems within the Preview after I install it I can deal with.
    So, I first tried to install the Preview through the standard Windows Update method. The installer took about 7 hours (but from reading lots of internet discussions, stupidly long install times in that range seem to be a common problem with
    this builds separate from it actually failing). During the reboot between the "Setting up Devices" (Or is it Setting up Drivers? I forget) and "Taking Care of a Few More Things" (Again, possibly paraphrased), for about a split second, underneath
    the Windows logo and throbber, some error like this appeared:
    Fatal Error Performing Update Operation # of ##: ERROR CODE
    It only appeared for a fraction of a second, and I had no chance of reading the precise numbers or error.
    However, the installer then seemed to continue, and went until the main circle was at 100%. As soon as 100% hit, however, the screen went black for something like 30min. Then, I briefly saw "Attempting to recover installation" before "Restoring
    your previous version of Windows." And I was, quite impressively considering how far along that installer was, back in Windows 8.1 completely unharmed.
    I tried again by burning an ISO and doing a disc upgrade install. I let that one run overnight and was asleep for the error, but I was back in Win8.1 in the morning, so I can only assume a similar thing happened there.
    As for my system specs, I'm running on a MacBook Pro 9,1 under Boot Camp. I am upgrading from Windows 8.1.2 Pro with Media Center. I have found other online accounts of people quite successfully installing Windows 10 on Macs, so that isn't the issue.
    Does anyone have any clue as to what this error might have been/be, and how I might fix it? Or at least have it on good authority that a fresh installation would be unaffected (meaning it's software-related)? If not, I can try installing to a VHD,
    which would at least let me product test on bare metal, but wouldn't have the harddrive space to be my daily driver and would probably only get used occasionally.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
    So far, I have the yet-to-be-tried idea of a clean boot prior to installation.
    If anyone here has any more specific ideas, lemme hear 'em.
    Thanks!

    To the individual who proposed this as an answer to my problem: It's not even applicable. I specifically stated that I was trying to avoid doing a clean installation (at least without knowing more about the problem at hand). An answer saying to do the thing
    you're trying to avoid doing is not an answer. You can see my last reply for the current status of this issue. 6-8 hour blocks of time in which I can't use my computer (as is required to install build 10041) aren't super common for me, but I haven't abandoned
    this thread. There have simply been no more updates. If your motivation as a mod was that you simply don't like there being unanswered threads on this forum, then perhaps you could attempt to contribute rather than arbitrarily marking the first reply as an
    answer.
    I will continue to update this thread as I try new things and get more information.
    Thank you.

  • Errors when installing Oracle Client 10.2.0.2.0 on zLinux (Red Hat)

    I am receiving errors when installing Oracle Client 10.2.0.2.0 (Administrator) on zLinux. During the install I receive two notifications for File Not Found when the installer tries to create the link for lib32/libclntsh.so.10.1. I hit ignore on the pop-ups and the install completes. The Oracle Net Configuration Assistant then fails to launch with the following error:
    Output generated from configuration assistant "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant":
    Command = /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/netca /orahome /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 /orahnam Oracle_home /instype custom /inscomp client,oraclenet,ano /insprtcl tcp /cfg local /authadp NO_VALUE /nodeinfo NO_VALUE /responseFile /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/install/netca_clt.rsp

    Configuration assistant "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant" failed
    The "/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/cfgtoollogs/configToolFailedCommands" script contains all commands that failed, were skipped or were cancelled. This file may be used to run these configuration assistants outside of OUI. Note that you may have to update this script with passwords (if any) before executing the same.
    I have seen multiple threads relating to very similar errors, but none of the fixes that were suggested have worked. I have double checked the required Red Hat packages and made sure they were all installed on the server. All of the prerequisite checks for the installer are successful. Any assistance would be of most helpful!

    Worked with my Linux system admin and figured out that we were indeed missing some packages. There are 390 and 390x rpm's for Red Hat on System Z, i.e. 64 bit and 32 bit versions. Since we are running a 64 bit os some of those 32 bit packages did not get installed. Since our roles are split up, I am kind of blind as to the OS setup so I was not able to catch the problem. It is truly puzzling as to why Oracle would need 32 bit packages even though Oracle client is 64 bit. Regardless, after adding the 32 bit rpm's the installer was able to perform the linking operation that was failing, and the network configuration script ran successfully.

  • Error when installing SDK on BW platform

    We have successfully installed SDK to our DS client, but get an error when installing the extensions on the BW platform (SP12):
    I understand that I need to reboot the portal server, but the error message indicate that the issue will not be resolved. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    it could be that the depending extension was unpacked while installing the extension pack.
    please go to folder C:\user\..\Analysis-config\plugins and check if the extension jar-file is available. If there is only a folder with the extension name you have to delete this folder,
    uninstall the extension pack in your Design Studio (client side),
    go to Eclipse and check the "Unpack after installing" checkbox in your project Features,
    if it is checked please unckeck it,
    export your extension pack to zip-file,
    install your extenion pack again on client side,
    now the jar-file should be available.
    You sholud deploy your extension on Server without any errors.
    kind regards

    leefilmer,
    Have you tried the steps in article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 ? Reporting the problem to the particular application developer may be helpful, since it seems to be occurring with some apps.
    Oddly, the article I found documenting the error doesn't seem related to the issue you're experiencing: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1266. Do you have a SIM PIN on your iPhone by chance?
    Other than that, have you tried restoring your iPhone and setting it up as a new phone? More information can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 .
    Hope this helps,
