Help !! stuck on Mavericks and won't install

I got this AFTER the install (but it won't work).."The OS X upgrade couldn't be started because the disk Macintsh HD is damaged and can't be repaired. After your computer restarts, back up your data,erase your disk, and try installing again. Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again "
BUT I click restart and it wants me to choose which start up disk and there is nothing to choose, so I click cancel and it's starting the install all over again !!!!
I can't do anything, I am totally stuck,    PLEASE ANY HELP !
I was going to back up my data but now I can't even do that

I dropped my phone on the "ringtone switch" and now it's stuck on silent and the phone does not vibrate either.
Does anyone know how to go around this without taking the phone in for repair and spending $200?
Ummmmm, no.

Consider a good case as protection in case of future "drops".

    Okay ... so it's not one of the cases of bodged up ACLs on the Apple folder in Common Files. (That's been underlying a few of the recalcitrant E7W5s.

    Whenever i try and send an imessage to someone that has an iphone it gets stuck at times and won't go through. I then have to send it as a basic text and then it will respond message failed to send what should i do when it does this i need help

    The use of iMessage depends on both the sender and the receiver having an active data connection. If either of the two connections are interrupted, the message can fail. The sending of an iMessage differs from the sending of an SMS, and if you are having SMS failures, that would be a carrier concern.

  • When trying to install update 10.5 it says the download has invalid signature and won't install. I run XP

    when trying to install update 10.5 it says the download has invalid signature and won't install. I run XP

    I'm having similar problems with 10.5. I managed to install it but when I try to run itunes it doesn't open correctly and when I view my account the screen is not presented in the correct format. When I try to search for music it finds nothing. So I ran the diagnostics option but this came back with an error ' secure link to itunes failed'. It also said that the internet connection was verified but when I went into the help option it said I wasn't connected to the internet but as you can see I was and am. I've now uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times, each time I uninstall I've followed the correct sequence as recommended:-
    1. Itunes
    2. Quicktime
    3. Apple software update
    4. Apple mobile device support
    5. Bonjour
    6. Apple application support
    I've noticed now that 'quicktime' didn't get reinstalled, not sure if that's the problem. Also when I rebooted after the last Uninstall I received a new error message ' Applesyncnotifier.exe - unable to locate component'. I've also noticed that my CPU is running at 50% according to task manager when I've got apple loaded, but it goes down to less than 20% when it's uninstalled and even goes down to 0%. Clearly, there are a number of people with similar issues and Apple need to sort it quickly.

    When installing Acrobat Pro 11 on Windows 7 32 bit, it takes you through all the way to install, then it just hangs and won't install. 

    Hi mrmacnology,
    Please check and ensure that you should not have any prior version of Acrobat already installed on your computer.
    Do you get any specific error message?
    You might try installing Acrobat from a different browser.

  • Latest Revel IOS update crashes and won't install

    I have been using Revel v 2.3.1-548 on iPhone 5 and iPad 3 without any issues. An update was released today (29 June) and this won't install and crashes the app on both devices so I have had to go back to the old version. Anyone else having this problem?

  • Tried to install OSX Mavericks, Now Won't Install

    Started to download and install OSX Mavericks on my Mac Pro laptop.  For some reason download failed, and I get a message to that effect.  Message says to go to "Purchased Items" in App Store and try to download again.  Continually get message that there is an error and download fails.  Any suggestions to get the OSX Mavericks successfully downloaded?

    Ok so I worked out how to get into recovery mode. Turns out I was doing it wrong! I used an external USB drive to access recovery mode.
    I ran disk utility which identified and fixed some errors on the HD. I thought this might solve the problem but when I restarted the same problem occurred. I then restored my time machine backup which thankfully worked.
    I tried installing mavericks again! Upon restarting and completing the install, I got the message 'OSX has been installed. Your computer will now restart'. After the countdown had finished I got the beach ball which span eternally again, just like last time. After about 10 mins I did a hard reset and again OSX won't load.

  • After updating OS X Mavericks it won't install or shut down

    I was on my MacBook Pro and it said that my OSX Mavericks needed to be updated and that the update need a restart. I clicked the update button and it brought me to a loading screen that said "Installing Software Update" but it's been installing for hours. The loading bar won't move and therefore the update won't install. Whenever I click anyone the buttons, including the manual off button, makes a sound and does nothing. It wasn't plugged in for hours and the status hasn't changed. Are there any combinations or ideas on how I can actually use my computer?

    Hold the Power button pressed until your Mac turns off completely. Note that if you just press it your Mac will just go to sleep mode or only the display will turn off, so it is necessary to keep it pressed for about 10 seconds. Then, turn it on again

    Hi all, I posted my problem a week ago on the wrong board I think! and didn't get nay answers so hopefully will have more luck here :) I have always had Flash on my Mac (Yosemite) always updated no problem. It said today I needed to update it so clicked on the install button and did the usual but it keeps getting stuck around the 30/35% stage. I have followed steps on Adobes help pages, tried installing Flash and then re-installing but it keeps doing the same thing! Any ideas on what it could be thats stopping  it ??

    I seem to have got mine working, I went via the Apple website and found this link, DMG installer ?  Couldn't tell you how but it worked Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe
