HT201364 I've downloaded Mavericks, but cannot set up the installation.
I've downloaded Mavericks, but cannot set up the installation. The clock just keeps turning, and I can't continue or exit. Any idea of what to do next? I believe my system meets the requirements, although I'm not real sure of the age (I think I purchased mid 2007 or early 2008).
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac7,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.21f4
I appreciate anyone's help.
Mid 2007 or later should be ok > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
How long has the installation taken so far? On a high speed broadband connection, it should take about 45 mins to an hour.

I am now using 10.6.8. Downloaded Maverick but cannot update OS on HD because get message the disk is not formatted as Mac OS extended(journaled). Tried to use Disk Utility as per instruction but cannot complete operation.
Barney-15E:
The partition method worked after some trepidation. I got the spinning beach ball after partitioning and couldn't go further till I named the second partition. That may have done it. Right now, things seem to be working o.k. I'm updating a current iPhoto and will have to get a MS Word program that will function on the current OS and a current Quicken.
If necessary, can start up from the 10.6.8 system which I downloaded to an external HD before updating. I can always fall back on that. Also, I hope I don't get too many disconnects. Thank you for your help. -

If it's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert a Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the Option key held down, click on it, and use the Reset Password utility.
If it's running Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, open the Terminal, and use the resetpassword command:

operating system os x 10.6.8 safari 5.1.10. am told on checking that 16.0.305 is installed but not in application. have downloaded install app but cannot carry out the installation. can anyone help? am unable to use any application requiring flash player.
thank you!Hi Anne,
Your version of Safari is still supported. Please see Adobe Flash Player | Tech specs for supported OS and browsers.
If the Flash Player plugin is in the Plug-ins (disabled) folder it's because it's an older version that Apple has disabled in Safari. This has nothing to do with whether or not Flash Player supports the browser.
I'm not sure what you mean by "when i click on flash player itself i am told there is no application to open it." Flash Player.plugin only works in the browser to view Flash content in the browser. The plugin does not open files outside of the browser. If you have SWF files you'd like to view outside of the browser, then you'll need the Flash Player projector. However, based on your previous comments this doesn't appear to be what you are trying to do.
Google Chrome does embed Flash Player in it, while Firefox does not. Mozilla has also recently started blocking older versions of Flash Player in Firefox similar to what Apple is doing in Safari.
Following the 'clean install' instructions should result in you having the latest version of Flash Player installed that will not be blocked by the browser.

New Time Capsule will not back up my 2009 MacBook Pro. I can see and find my last back before Mavericks but cannot backup. The TC will not allow me to delete or start a new backup disk. My 2024 MacBook Air did the same yesterday but today it backs up.
Seems to be working now. I left the MacBook on all morning trying to back up and now works.

App store it says I have downloaded Mavericks, but still have old software? helppppp
I tried downloading the new mavericks, but nothing haooened except the app store saying that it is downloaded. So now where I click to install it says downloaded when I clearly have the old software still. I cheked everything and I am compatible to download the new Mavericks Software. Any ideas?
Previously you said nothing happens & now you say it stops so it isn't very clear exactly what is going on. Do you get a progress bar next to the install button after you click on it? If so, by "stop" do you mean the progress bar appears to stall or something else?
Also if you open the Applications folder in a Finder window & arrange the screen so you can see both that & the App Store window, when you click on the Install button, do you see the Install OS X Mavericks app appear in the Finder window, even briefly? (It may help to set the Finder view to list view & sort by date.) -
How do I add my new lapttop to my family iTunes? I downloaded music, but cannot play it
How do I add my new lap top to my family iTunes? I downloaded music, but cannot play it on my laptop
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them: -
Since I downloaded Maverick, I cannot find my External Hard Drive in the "Finder" area. I have to unplug all the time the hard drive to be recognized by my iMac. How can I fix this problem? Thank You.
Check Finderr->Preferences->General and ensure that HDs are selected for display. If so and they still don't, Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, and see if that does the trick.

I downloaded Mavericks but can't get past the install; it thinks my hard drive is reserved for Time Machine. I have an external hard drive but dis-connected that before download.
I have Time Machine turned off.Check to see if you have a file name Backups.backupdb on the disk drive.
If the installer sees such a file it assumes that the disk drive is being used by Time Machine.

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 but my PC is not recognizing my CDRom and I cannot download the program. I tried copying the files on the program disc to my hard drive but get a message the installer will not work. I have the redemption code and serial numbers. Can I download the program online somewhere? If I download a trial version for instance will it allow me to enter my serial number and use it for the full program?

i bought a mac air yesterday and i was trying to download maverick but i could not do it, i try to download the old version of numbers because i needed for work, but i could not neither, but now when i check to download numbers is asking for to pay?
You are mixing different issues. I will address Numbers.
Has Numbers ever been installed on this new Mac? Did you have the Mac App Store version of Numbers or did you have the DVD version of Numbers?
You should be able to redownload a previous purchase of the Mac App Store version of Numbers from the Purchases pane after signing into your account.
If you had the DVD version, then you will need to install that from the DVD media. -
I DOWNLOADED THE UPDATES IT SAID TO DOWNLOAD NOW i CANNOT GET TO THE STORE AND ALSO IT WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MY USERNAME AND PASSWORD TO SIGN IN SO I AM STUCK. IT WILL ALLOW ME TO LISTEN TO MY LIBRARY HOWEVER BUT THIS IS ALL. ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. EVERYTHING WORKED FINE UNTIL THE DOWNLOAD. I DID DELETE ICLOUD BUT I CAN REMEMBER THE OTHER PROGRAM. DOES APPLE HAVE A NUMBER TO CALL
Perhaps the reason that your username and password are not recognised is because you have caps lock on.

My Mac is a 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 OS X 10.6.8 - wanting to download Mavericks but install goes to pause with no status info. Is my Mac too old for upgrade?
If it were too old, the App Store wouldn't download it.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
