How to install Mavericks onto non-internet connected iMacs

I have a small network of imacs that I need to upgrade to Mavericks. I have mavericks installed on the admin computer. How do I get it onto all the other machines, which are not connected to the internet ?

Your best method is to make an installer disk onto an 8 GB USB disk. You need to have the Installer app downloaded from the App Store.
There are lots of web pages devoted to the instructions, but in essence, you need to run the following command:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
The createinstallmedia command is inside the Mavericks installer app; the untitled volume is the USB disk.
You'll need to download the installer again if you've already run it, as installed Mavericks deletes the installer app. If you keep the app on an external disk, it wont get deleted, and will get updated if you download a newer version at a later date! You will of course have to change the filepaths in the command above if you move it.

Is CS6 the last version able to install on a non-Internet-connected network?

I work on a govt network, which has no connection to the Internet, so we just purchased Photoshop CS6. Of course, we're having all sorts of problems because the damn application requires an Internet connection before it will run. We're working with Adobe to try to find a way around this, but it's extremely frustrating. I'm guessing we'll eventually be able to get an installer that doesn't try to connect to the Internet.
My question is: Assuming we can get PS CS6 functioning, is that the last version Adobe will build that will be installable on a non-Internet-connected network? That seems a bit short-sighted and will eventually cause the govt to remove all Adobe products from use. I can't imagine that's a scenario Adobe would be happy with, but maybe they don't care.
Thoughts? Does anybody else use Adobe products on a network that has no way to connect to the Internet? Have you found good workarounds for working with these annoying apps?

Thanks, John. I knew that, but have no way of registering or activating after install. I know that an installer can be built with the Serial Number built in that doesn't require an Internet connection, but I've never been able to get that to work. It takes half a day just to get the transfer approved to move it to the correct network, and after doing this six times, I've run out of patience. I'm not really sure what to do at this point. After over six hours on the phone with Adobe support, I've come to a brick wall. Adobe products are no longer viable on government networks. I'm surprised they've given up this large pool of users...

How to install Mavericks onto a new SSD

Hi,
I have just purchased a new Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD, I want to replace my existing HDD with the new SSD and install Mavericks straight onto it. I do not need to keep any files from my existing HDD, I just want to clean install Mavericks, how do I go about this?

Do I need to erase the SSD first?
Yes, you will need to initialize the SSD.
First, back up your system before you install the SSD.
Download and run the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant. You will need a 4GB USB thumb drive. This will ceate the Recovery HD currently on your Mac to the thumb drive. I'll assume you currently have OS X Mavericks installed.
Install your SSD.
Boot from the USB thumb drive by restarting and holding the Options/Alt key to select the USB drive.
Open Disk Utility and format your SSD as Mac OS Extended-Journaled with the GUID partition table.
Quit Disk Utility and Reinstall OS X (you should see the X logo to the left of this option). Make sure you have an Internet connect as this will download OS X Mavericks before starting the installer.

How to install KDE without an internet connection

I have a fast internet connection at the office, but not at home.
1. What files do I need to copy so that I can burn a KDE CD?
2. What is the procedure to install KDE from my own CD?
Thank you.
wickyd

Those commands don't need an internet connection.
Do this:
1) download ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686 … .db.tar.gz and ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686/extra.db.tar.gz when you have internet
2) on your home pc (as root): cd /var/lib/pacman ; cd current ; rm -rf * ; tar xzf /path/to/current.db.tar.gz ; cd ../extra ; rm -rf * ; tar xzf /path/to/extra.db.tar.gz
3) pacman -Sp --noconfim kde > pkglist
4) take that file where you have internet and run wget -nv -i .../pkglist in an empty directory
5) when the download has finished take those files to your home pc, put them in /var/cache/pacman/pkg and run pacman -S kde

How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 MacBook Pro?

How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 Macbook Pro, and then I hopefully can reinstall my data from my Time Machine backup?
I presume the SSD will need some type of formatting, before I can install Mavericks from the internet? Then can I use my Time Machine backup to reinstall all my other software and settings?

In order to load Mavericks the SSD will have to be formatted Mac OS Extended with GUID partition mapping

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....

How to install AIR in Non-Admin rights PC ?

Who can teach me how to solve under issue ?
1.How to transfer AIR file to exe file
2.How to install AIR in Non-Admin rights computer?
-->In my company all PC has contorled, i want to install application in any Notebook for Sales Using,they can using AIR offline in anywhere
Thank you so much!!

On Mac OS, to install or update an AIR application, the user needs to have adequate system privileges to install to the application directory (and administrative privileges if the application needs to update the runtime). On Windows, a user needs to have administrative privileges.
IT administrators can install AIR applications silently using standard desktop deployment tools. For more information, see "Enterprise deployment" in the following page:

Can somebody explain to me how I can detect that an internet connection exists (VB)?

There is no reliable way. Better test whether you can go to where you want to go. And be prepared to support proxies, even the complex ones that require authentication.
System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable reports your local connectivity regardless of whether one of your connected networks has Internet access.
Microsoft's Network Awareness API (the one used in control panel\network and sharing center) use a connection test to a web site setup by Microsoft. But your customers could be behind cooperative firewalls that make this test unusable even when Internet
access is available though other means (e.g. via a local proxy server). If you want to connect to your own web site, then you can skip that and just connect to your web site instead. Even if you were able to connect to Microsoft's web site there is no guarantee
your web site would be accessible in the same network.

I'm struggling to install Mavericks onto my 2009 MacBook Pro

I'm struggling to install Mavericks onto my 2009 MacBook Pro. I need it to upgrade to Lightroom 5. After several attempts it won't make it beyond the middle of the blue activity monitor. The message went almost immediately from 41 minutes remaining to "Time remaining: Completing Installation... Your computer will restart automatically". The Installer Log just lists line after line of "Missing Core Services". This is now the third time it's reach this state. Athe blue line just stops right below the "i" in "Macintosh HD". Should I let it sit? Or turn it off for a few hours? Advice is nice. And thanks.

You haven't provided enough information to go further. You just wanted to know if you should turn it off. But at whatever point you are at I don't know what you were upgrading, if you had downloaded the 5.3 GB Mavericks installer or an updater, can you boot the computer now. I don't know if you meet all the requirements to install Mavericks. Lightroom requires 10.7, not 10.9.
So, when you can give me more to go on, perhaps I could help.
