I tried to install OS X Mavericks but my Mac Book Pro (of mid-2009 with OS X 10.7.5) crashed
I tried to install OS X Mavericks but my Mac Book Pro (of mid-2009 with OS X 10.7.5) crashed. I had to change the Hard Disk. How can I install OS X Mavericks on my Mac laptop safely without going to another crash? I checked and found that my lap top is eligible for the upgrade to Mavericks. Can't understand what happened. Please help and advise how to do the upgrading. Thanks.
I could not report the crash as my lap top was out of order. So now it's working. Should I report the crash and to whom? Do you have any link for that?

I am trying to install the OS Mavericks upgrade on my MAC and it requests for me to enter an administrator password. I do not use an an administrator password on the machine. Any ideas how to resolve this?
If you bought the machine new yourself, and did not enter a password when configuring it, leave the field blank.
If you bought it used, then you need to reset the password, as described here:

I recently installed Yosemite from Mavericks. I find that Yosemite is slowing me down and causing havoc on my home web page. How do uninstall Yosemite and get back to Mavericks?

I'm gonna jump in as I have similar issues with Yosemite.
My two old white MacBooks run perfect with Snow leopard, but my 2011 17" i7 Macbook Pro is a dead slug with yosimite installed.
Tried the start with C held down, also with option held down. All it does is beeps at me three times, then again three times.....
I want to remove yosimite and install Snow leopard from dvd as yosimite runs worse than a Windows OS.
Can it be done, what do I need to do please?
Examples of faults, even with a 1tb solid state drive and 16 gig of ram, it is incredibly slow. Took four hours to install Logic 8 last night, I still have to reinstall logic 9 upgrade. On the White MacBooks I got both 8 and 9 installed in under an hour and a half all up.
Beeping on startup means failed RAM.
Slowness is usually caused by incompatible third-party system modifications. -
HT201364 Unable to install OS X Mavericks
Just bought this computer and am unable to install OS X Mavericks. I get a message telling me that I cannot install it on this computer. I'm at the point of W..T..H? A brand new MacBook Pro 15 and it won't accept Mavericks? Now what? Back to the Apple Store? A.r.g.h.h.h
Yes, I reviewed all the requirements...and yes, I have the required disk space. Frustrating experience, this is. So far, everything else seems to be working out as I expected.

HT201364 Can we install os x Mavericks on a quad-core intel Xeon ?
Hello there,
Unfortunately I can not install os x Mavericks. I would wonder if it's due to my computer's age. My processor is 2 * 3 ghz quad-core intel Xeon, 8 GB of Memory!
Thank you.
Best wishes,
EdNeed to know the Model Identifier or when it was manufactured.
It needs to have been released in Early 2008 or newer. Model Identifier 3,1 or greater.
Yours appears to be the original Mac Pro. It doesn't have the necessary hardware (64-bit EFI) to run Mountain Lion or Mavericks. -

I'm really not sure what you mean here. You're on the Mac App Store forums... What is it exactly you are trying to do?

When trying to upgrade and install OS X Mmavericks to my Macbook Pro as it started to install the computer stopped the install and now is stuck with the OS X Mavericks intall window showing and I can't get out of it or force quit? I can not do anything else because this is stuck with this window/install screen showing. I have tried everything to get back to my regular desktop. I do not want to wipe the drive because I have photos on it that I want to save. So if there is any way to bypass this installer and get back to my regular desktop I would greatly appreciate the help.
