If you attempt to install an operating system with third party peripherals attached, the installer may not have drivers for that peripheral.
If you attempt to install an operating system with bad RAM or RAM that isn't to spec, that may also cause problems.
If you attempt to install an operating system with insufficient hard disk space, or RAM, that can also be a problem.
I'd have your friend start a new thread so we can troubleshoot his issue. My FAQ here may be applicable:

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Thanks!

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections such as options. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Am I doing anything wrong? Thanks

Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

How to install windows support software without mac OSX install cd?

I want to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 10.6.8 via bootcamp. I have a windows 7 install cd and I havn't got past the stage of installing the windows support software. I lost my mac osx install cd a long time ago so I can't install the software that way, but if i try and download the support software from bootcamp, I keep getting a notification that the windows support software is unavailable. What should I do?

Call Apple for replacement disks. The Boot Camp drivers for OSX 10.6 and earlier were not available as a download. Or upgrade to Lion, which you do download the Boot Camp 4 drivers.

HT3606 please help me to upgrade my mac osx 10.5.8 to mountain lion

please help me to upgrade my mac osx 10.5.8 to mountain lion. i am not able to do it.becoz i am not having app store.

Before you buy anything, first make sure your Mac is compatible.
Minimum specs for Snow Leopard. Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Read the Technical Specifications
Note. You can no longer buy Snow Leopard from an Apple retail store, only as follows.
If you are in North America ... Last I read, you must call them (1-800-MY-APPLE). It is $29 plus tax for family pack and $19 plus tax for the individual use version.
In Europe or otherwise … call your National Apple Helpline … http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Once you have bought and upgraded you will need to apply the Combo updater for Snow Leopard. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
For Mountain Lion the minimum specs are … technical specifications.
But if your computer meets those specs you can upgrade to Mountain Lion without any intermediate steps.

Flash Player 9 mac osx install problem

For ages now I've been trying to install flash 9 on my mac (OSX latest version), and it doesnt work. I can download the installer, open it and run it. The installation works up until "4 items remaining" when the install bar starts showing grey and white stripes with a message above or below which says "searching macintosh hd". This goes on indefinitely, Ive tried leaving it for a while and eventually it just freezes. At the moment I have absolutely no internet video capability, not anything flash based anyway. help me please.

I have the similar problem on my iMac Intel Duo Core running OS X 10.4.9. The Installer told me that I don't have the access privileges to install Flash when the progress bar shows 1 item remaining (flashplayer.xtp). I tried repairing disk permission with Onyx and starting up from the OS X Install DVD but all these didn't help. I am using the correct installer (the Universal Binary one).
ANY HELP APPRECIATED!!!

Mac OSX install disc 1 won't work, it says "no bootable device" and a black screen

My macbook came already with snow leopard, so I have the osx install disc and the applications install disc. So I'm meant to put in the osx (ie install disc 1) install disc which lets me install bootcamp, which I do, and click on "start the windows installer" and "start installation" in bootcamp assistant, however every time I restart the computer to try installing bootcamp it just says in white letters across a black screen "no bootable device" and "insert boot disc", which I have already done!!
Am I missing something really dumb here, or is my disc faulty?

From this guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf
Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for WindowsAfter installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software forWindows using your Mac OS X installation disc.
The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.
You have to be running your Windows OS (not Mac OSX) when you add the drivers from the Mac Install disk.

Can i install the Mac OSX on a second machine
Already thanks for your reply
Julz

No, install disks are machione specific. He will have to purchase an install disk:
If you are in the US call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.

Lost password on Mac OSX 10.4.11

In Fact, my ex wife left This machine here, but she forgot the Password... So i can't use it :( . I bought Mac OSX Leopard to use it again... But when i had insert the CD, the Mac asked me again the Password!!! Should i go to Apple Center?? Or You have an easy Solution that i could follow? Thanks for help. Pierre

It sounds like a Firmware Password. You need to turn the computer off and unplug it from the wall outlet. Remove both memory modules. Wait about five minutes, then reinstall them. That should remove the Firmware Password.
However, there will also be a user account password you will need for full usage of the computer, but your ex should know that password. If she doesn't then see further:
Forgot Your Account Password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.

Problem making disk image of Panther install cds...

Hi everyone!
I want to make a disk image of my Panther retail install cds...just to have a backup in case I lose my cds or something. The problem is on disk 2 I keep getting an input/output error using Disk Utility. I tried to use SuperDuper and I got the same and the log shows this:

Funny thing is I had problems installing my Panther recently and I had to disable the German package because of errors during install. Does this make sense at all and can anyone help me to make a disk image of my Panther cds?
Thanks in advance,
Reg

Hi eww!
Yes that might be possible? That's one of the reasons I wanted to make a disk image in case my cds would be damaged or something. It makes sense what you say because as I mentioned when I did my install I had a hang up with the German pkg and I just skipped over it...good thing I'm not German huh?
If I clean it up and everything and it's still the same problem what are my options? I don't see a way to de-select this package when making the disk image?
Thanks again,
Reg

System discs are not found in Apple stores = Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html
Your disc drive may need cleaning. Try that.

White 20 inch intel mac osx install problem

I'm trying to reinstall OSX Lion onto an older, 2.16 GHZ, 20 inch intel Mac. I had to reinitialize the hard drive before the install. When I try to perform the install it tells me that "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. The disk was reinitialized using Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have noticed, however, that when I select the hardrive (not the partition) in Disk Utility that the Volume Format is MS-DOS (FAT).
Any suggestions or workarounds would be appreciated.
Gary

The partition should be GUID and the Hard Drive should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
BTW it's an iMac.

Mac OSX install disc freezes!!!

Hi there, well when I try to install the Mac OS X. install disc 1 it freezes when it says "preparing installation.."
what can I do to solve this problem?
help me please
liz.

I have a new iBook. My install disk 1 seemed to read ok on my my internal drive but it had a hard time reading on my external drive. Disk 2 worked fine on both. I got a replacement install disk 1 from Apple and it reads fine on both drives. You probably have a bad DVD. If you try to install with the Tiger retail install disk the trackpad and airport will not work. To get the trackpad and airport to work update it with the 10.4.3 combo update.
