  • Error when installing Mountain Lion.  I'm stuck...

    I'm trying to install Mountain Lion to my iMac.  After getting the instalation under way I returned to see an error.  I tried to reinstall in and had no joy.  I read a few things on the discussions and so have tried to repair my disk in DU - after verryify disk the repair option is greyed out.  I've tried to erase my disk and start over, but I can't get it to 'unmount'.  I've tried to restore from my time machine but get an error message about volume's being used.  I've read the info in the little operations manual about repairing, restoring and reinstalling and tried that. Nothing.
    I'm stuck.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks very much.

    This says Snow Leopard, but it applies to Lion as well.

  • Drive error when installing Mountain Lion

    I just downloaded Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro. The install repaired because of an error on the internal drive. Disk Utility will not repair the drive, repair remains greyed out. I have a Time Machine back up, but Disk Utility won't designate a destination disk. So currently, I can access OS X Utilities and through that Safari - that is all.
    The errors on Verify are :
    Bad hard link creation date.
    Hard link record has data extents.
    Incorrect number of file hard links.
    I dont't have a recovery disc - I downloaded Lion and Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion, as described above, did not complete loading.
    Thanks

    I recieved an error while downloading mountain lion and now it will not allow me to re-download? what do I do?

    Sometimes, this is due to your ISP, or other.
    I'll tell you what, let's try to manually change your DNS, and if that also fails, then we can go the Genius route. But since it's starting to really look network based, there's maybe 50/50 chance DNS works.
    Network Preferences -> Advanced -> DNS > DNS Servers
    Add these two entries:
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    They are Google DNS servers.
    Remove everything else. Leave Domains as is.

  • While trying to instal Mountain Lion OS on my macbook pro, I got the error message that my HD was damaged and it reverted to my Lion OS. Why does this happen? I bought the OS online through the app store

    While trying to instal Mountain Lion OS on my macbook pro, I got the error message that my HD was damaged and it reverted to my Lion OS. Why does this happen? I bought the OS online through the app store.

    The Mountain Lion installer looks at your internal drive to make certain that it's error-free before continuing installation. You should have an application named "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" in your Applications folder now so you shouldn't have to download it again. Do this...
    Boot to your Lion recovery partition by holding down both the Command and the R keys while booting. Open Disk Utility from the Recovery partition and select your hard drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it) and click on Verify Disk. If you come up with any errors, click on Repair Disk. At the end of the cycle you will get a message that the disk was successfully repaired or a message that the hard drive could not be repaired.
    If you're able to repair the disk, just reboot as normal and open the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" and the installation will proceed. If Disk Utility was unable to repair the disk, you need to get to your local Apple Store as soon as possible so that they can see if the disk is salvageable or beyond repair.
    Good luck,

  • Error when trying to install Mountain Lion - says hard disk is damaged :(

    I downloaded and installed Mountain Lion on my iMac today - without any problems. But when I downloaded it to my Macbook pro (bought 2010) I get an error message telling me the installation cannot continue due to hard disk error My harddisk was fine before the installation, to my knowledge ...
    Of course I tried disk utility (during the installation) and it tells me the disk needs to be repaired but I can´t choose "Repair disk" since it is grey (no write permissions it says). What can I do? I really need help!!!

    I rarely post, however, because of a major screw up with Mountain Lion, I will.  I have been using mac computers since 1987, have obviously installed and upgraded multiple OS new and upgrades and never, I mean never had a problem with any of them, until now.  The install stalled with the message that the hard disk needed repair.  I thought all of my data was lost, except for time machine backup, which was not as current as it should have been.  Losing that data would have been a royal pain. 
    Went through the restore OS from Time Machine, then tried to repair the disk with apple disk repair utility.  Not repairable.  Why?  I still don't have a clue.  After reading multiple threads, decided to go ahead and buy DiskWarrior.  This was a weird experienc.  Loaded it onto external hard drive, hooked my MacBook Pro as Target disk.  Loaded in DiskWarrior as hardware probelm.  ????  Immediately went online to see what advice about this message.  Looked like a massive coincidence had hit my laptop.  Worked perfectly until loading Mountain Lion, the decided to have hard disk melt down.  Suddenly, DiskWarrior indicated it was ready to rebuild my directory.  The hardware warning was gone.  A few minutes later, directory repaired.  Rebooted, same problem.  Can't load OS X, need to repair hard disk.  Apple disk repair still unable to repair disk.  Used DiskWarrior, repaired it no problem. 
    Deleted original OS 10.8 dmg.  Rebooted and downloaded fresh copy of OS 10.8.  This time install went flawlessly.  Mountain Lion transferred all info flawlessly.  Mid 2009 MacBook Pro running flawlessly and actually more smoothly now than in Lion.
    1.  I think original download was somehow corrupted and that is what screwed up the disk directory.
    2.  I do not know why apple Disk Utility would not repair the disk and Disk Warrior would.  Expensive fix, but ultimately worthwhile.  Did it mysefl and did not have to mess with "Genius" bar.
    3.  I will never go so long without backup again.  That was a big mistake.
    My advice:
    1.  Be sure you have smooth download of entire Mountain Lion file, if not, start over.  My download was paused a couple of times.
    2.  If the install is messed up and you need Disk Repair, buy DiskWarrior and repair directory, it works flawlessly.  If it initially says your disk has hardware problem, wait a few minutes while it finishes entire evaluation.  It may well disappear like mine did, then actually repair the directories without a problem.
    3.  Be sure you have deleted old OS 10.8 Install file and load fresh one.
    4.  Install OS 10.8 and you should be OK.
    5.  Good luck.
    Mountain Lion seems to have some problems, but many of them may be due to server overload at apple, delayed download with incorporated unrecognized code problems.  If there is any delay, start over and get a smooth download.
    Disk Utility is too light weight.  Apple needs to beef it up.  This is my biggest complaint.  Apple utility should be able to fix disks.  We should not have to spend $100 to fix a disk, but there you are.
    Once fixed however, back to usual beautiful, flawless apple experience.

  • An error occurred while downloading Mountain Lion OS

    An error occurred while downloading Mountain Lion OS and can't download it anymore. Please advise on how to resolve this problem. Thank you

    I have followed these steps :
    - Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
    - Quit the App Store
    - In Finder - Go>Go to folder...  (or Apple-shift-G)
    - Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore"
    - It will take you to a folder.  Delete the whole folder and empty the trash.
    - Launch the App Store.  Sign in and then reclick the Mountain Lion buy.  It won't charge you again.
    Then I restart my system in safe mode. And downlad installer again
    This time it is installed. And I am really happy
