HT201316 This is ridiculous - I am using bootcamp and after waiting over 2 hrs to download this OS,  and attempt to install, I get an error message - no recovery partition. So much for user-friendly MAC.

I am now advised by the links to ' wipe my bootcamp partition, and reinstall SnowLeopard (you are kidding..)  AND
re down load  Mountain Lion (2 hr +  again -  are you joking? )  THEN recreate my bootcamp partition (im using win XP on this).
Wow  thanks Apple ! That sounds like a great way to spend my next weekend.

Did the installer get deleted? If it fails to install, I didn't think it would get deleted. Check the Applications folder.
See, What to do if the installer warns that no Recovery System can be created,
in this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
You can create a recovery hd on another drive and install on the startup drive (if your drive is formatted correctly).
Otherwise, you can install Mountain Lion on an external drive.

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    I cannot download updates to Photoshop Elements 9.  I get an error message that my serial number is not recognized or eligible.  Can you help with this?

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    What updates are you trying to download?
    The last update was 9.0.3 - check by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Photoshop Elements
    The last supported Camera raw is ACR 6.5 - check by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-ins -> Camera Raw
    Do you have a reason to update?

  • Why do I get an error message that says Firefox is inaccessible? I have MAc OS X

    Firefox worked yesterday. My Mac had a Safari update & I had to Restart the pc. Now I get an error message that says "Firefox may be missing or inaccessible".

    No, I am a US citizen living overseas, but I am going through a VPN and I am using a US-based credit card. I have no problem purchasing apps, just purchasing gift certificates. I'm going to try gifting the app to the person I am purchasing for until Apple straightens this out for me.

  • I using iWeb 3.03.  I'm not able to complete a publish command.  I get an error message and a note to try again later.  What can I do to find the source of the problem

    I am using iWeb 3.03.  I have prepared a new website and several pages.  Attempts to publish have failed.  An error message appears, which I don't understand.  The message includes a note that says "try again later."  What might I try next to get past this problem?

    Try the following:
    close iWeb.
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
    reboot.
    go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
    login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
    login with your correct username and password.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • I tried to update itunes to the latest version yet it wont update. Im currently getting a error message,from  Window Installer, configuration dat for this product is corru

    I'm trying to update itunes but not very successful and im not making much progress.  Im currently getting a message on the screen from Window Installer quoting configuration data for this product is corrupt while trying

    The path 'C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes.msi' cannot be found.  Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • This is **.  I stayed up to order my kids new 6's.  I have done nothing all night but get ECPD errors.  I have been on hold for 40 min and no live chat is available.  Nice job Verizon.

    Seriously?

    I went onto the apple store app, it at least let me reserve an iPhone and will send an email when apple can talk to Verizon to finalize the order. It's not a perfect solution but at least it's something that I have one reserved! Worked on the website for over an hour and because I get 25% off my calling plan through my company I kept getting an error.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
