HT203482 OS X could not be installed - instructions not working

When I click on 'partition', I cannot resize the blue portion because no blue portion appears and instead the message 'this partition can't be modified' appears. What should I do?

I was trying to follow the instructions from here: Installer reports "OS X could not be installed on your computer" or "This disk cannot be used to start up your computer"…

  • Hp pavilion a1250n says multimedia audio controller not installed, sound not working (windows7)

    No sound plays with my logitech ls11 speakers. my computer is a hp pavilion a1250n, running windows 7, 32 bit operating system, and a AMD ahtlon(tm)64 x2 dual core processor 3800+ 2.00 GHz
    When i click the speaker icon in the lower right corner, and open the playback devices, it says:
    Speaker: anvsoft virtual sound device, default device.
    When i ran a  troubleshooter, to see if there were any files I should install, i got an error message:
    multimedia audio controller couldnt not be installed, driver not found.
    In device manager, below the sound video and game controlers tab, it says Anvsoft virtual sound device.
    Bellow the other devices tab, it says multimedia audio controler, but there is a yellow triangle exclamation makr over it.
    How can I get sound on my computer? Are there any free programs that are compatible that will allow me to have sound?
    Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this.

  • I was just told ML could not be installed because apple HD is broken and could not be repaired. I never had any problem ever to suggest a broken HD, on my 2 yr. old mac pro. 10.6.8. Any one else having this problem? Will I get a refund,  if so how?

    I have a 2009 MAC PRO 10.6.8. Had never had any problems. Tried installing Mountain Lion today. Was told, " Mountain Lion could not be installed because Hard Disk is broken"!
    Is it because HD is broken or perhaps incompatible? Has any one else had this problem? I had no symptoms suggestive of a broken HD. Will I get reimbursed if ML could not be installed? If so what do I have to do?
    How can I verify the status of the HD, in absence of symptoms for my own information?

    The solution to your problem is rather simple
    1: Get a external hard drive and use Disk Utility to format it with a GUID partition map and OS X extended Journaled.
    2: Export your browser bookmarks and any other needed data to a file,. Copy your User data folders of Music, Pictures etc over to the external  drive via drag and drop copy methods, disconnect the drive.
    I don't advise using TimeMachine at this point since your boot drive is messed up, thus so will be your TM drive, just transfering the problem later on back to the new install. We are proceeding with a "Fresh install" method to eliminate as many issues as possible which a TM restore can return to a new OS X install.
    3: Next you will need to follow these instructions to zero erase (important) and install 10.6 fresh, use the same named account (different password ok)
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    4: Before you return files or install programs, Software Update fully and use the AppStore to install 10.8, this way it will be on a fresh 10.6 install, free of issues.
    5: Install any and all 10.8 compatible programs as much as possible before returning your User files, this is a performance measure.
    If you need too, use this site to find one's that are 10.8 compatible.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    6: Last install your user files from the external drive backup into their respective Music, Pictures, Movies etc., folders, into the same named accounts so you preserve your iTunes playlists. When you open those programs, they will update their respective support files automatically.

    Hi,
    I'm sorry you're having problems installing/uninstalling air.  Have you tried rebooting to see if that resolves the issue? 
    If it still fails, can you enable MSI logging using the instructions found on the following page and then post the msi log contents for review?

  • Os x could not be installed on your computer undefined error

    After carefully following instructions to create a bootable USB drive with Yosemite and running disc utilities to erase the drive, I received the message "os x could not be installed on your computer undefined error 0." I see thousands of people have run into the same problem and jt appears Apple left out key details about what needed to be left on the root of the USB. This is unacceptable and, in fact, is fraud and misrepresentation under consumer protection laws.
    I've been using Macs since they were first introduced, but Apple has strayed so far from its roots, it's now a corporate rogue. Apple is going to envy Radio Shack's stock price when I get through with them. Executives and board members will now find their properties attached and face criminal--not just civil--penalties. Its jail time now for the criminals at Apple.

    Thank you for reading my comment. I ran disk utilities off the USB and erased the hard drive, aiming for a completely clean install. It appears the installer made per Apple's instructions omitted key install files.

    The above you are talking about refers to instructions for Snow Leopard (10.6) and you did post in the Snow Leopard forum area.
    Your system profile confirms you are actually using Lion (10.7.1).  Therefore, you should seach for Lion instructions in the Apple's Knowledge Base or post over in the Mac OS X v10.7 Lion forum area.

  • Update could not be installed

    When starting FF 3.68 using quick launch icon, I get this popup before the window loads. I have tried to follow the instructions in this page:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Software+Update+Failed?s=update+could+not+be+installed&as=s
    and it still does the same thing.

    Try to run Firefox once as Administrator (right-click the desktop shortcut > Run as Administrator).<br />
    If that didn't work then do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

  • When I click on Firefox it opens with a box that says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments-. " then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle) The update could not be install

    When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
    The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
    It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.

  • An update tries to run, but an error message stating "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." I can't open Firefox

    I click on Firefox and it says that Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few minutes. Then I get "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." this cycle never ends. Do I need to deinstall Firefox and re-install? If I do that, do i lose all of my bookmarks, etc?

    Hi Abdallah,
    According to your description, could you please post the summary and detail logs for further analysis? By default, the logs can be found in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
    Usually, the error occurs when the Windows Installer Service is not running or the Windows Installer registry settings are corrupted.  I recommend you reset the Windows Installer Service settings in the registry and restart the Windows Installer Service,
    then reinstall SQL Server 2008 R2. For more details, please review this similar
    article.
    Thanks,

    While installing Acrobat XI Pro, the installation automatically rolls back and I get the message "The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.07) could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again." How to resolve it.
    How do I modify the system.

    Hi Rgardezi,
    The only reason why Acrobat installation fails and throw this error message is when there are some services running in the background causing the installer not to complete the installation. My take is try the following steps and suggest if you were able to install the products or not :
    1) Navigate to control panel and confirm that there is no line Item that talks about Acrobat. If you see Acrobat XI listed there, please remove them.
    2) Perform a selective Start up using the steps mentioned in this link.
    Please suggest if the above mentioned steps were able to resolve the query for you or not.

  • SCCM 2012 - sms_notificaiton_server install fails, bgbisapi.msi could not be installed

    Hi,
    installed a SCCM 2012 R2 Primary site on a 2012 R2 server on the D: drive. Everything seemed to go well, however i am am now encountering issues with the SMS_NOTIFICATION_SERVER in that the site component manager is unable to install it. The status message
    viewer informs me that, "Site Component Manager failed to install this component, because the Microsoft Installer File for this component (bgbisapi.msi) could not install."
    When i check the Bgbsetup.log, i see the following lines:

    Having done a bit of reading, it seems a few other people have come accross this issue before:
    https://rikkoss.wordpress.com/2013/12/11/tip-do-not-change-the-default-installation-location-for-configmgr-2012/
    http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/7401-sms-notification-server-failed-critical-sccm-sp1-sql-2012-sp1/
    The solution for these folks seems to be to edit 2 files in the .Net folder,InstallUtil.exe.config and Regsvc.exe.config,
    and insert the following code:
    <runtime>
    <loadFromRemoteSources enabled=”true”/>
    </runtime>
    However, this hasn't worked for me and i'm still getting stuck with the same error messages. Since i'd really like to avoid reinstalling SCCM on the C: drive, can anyone suggest any possible solutions to this issue?

    Trying to install iTunes on my Laptop, running windows 7 (64-bit), but whenever I reach the end of the install, it pops up with an error telling me:
    "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services"

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
