I can't install the OSX

First The hard Disk crash and buy a new disk, its work perfect but after some years some App have installation errors and I decided do a clean installation when I put the original DVD in the SuperDrive its try read but after 10 seconds its eject, y put the hardware testing disk, its run correctly, I was try with the original and a generic torrent version DVD OSX Install but it the same, I delete the disk partition from a PC I put delete-nvram and delete-all in the open firmware, please help me what else could I do to install the OSX

Can't blame us or say we are Mac support, we are just end users. Nothing more.
OEM DVD or CD from another system should never be used, only retail or OEM disc that came with the Mac.
What everyone using computers, Mac especially, needs to do is have backups, carbon copy bootable clones, AND invest in a 3rd party disk maintenance program and use that on a regular basis for preventative maintenance.
Re-initialize and restore your system and drives at least once a year too.

    Which iBook do you have?

    Which version of the OS is installed, and which version are you trying to install?
    You could try starting up with Startup Manager and see if it will allow you to select the OS X install disc as the startup disk. If so, maybe you can proceed from there. I would recommend repairing the hard drive first since you are evidently having a bit of a problem with it.

    You will need to Upgrade to Snow Leopard to get a Compatible version of iTunes to Sync your Device.
    Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

  • Can't open AppStore and Email app after installing the OSX Update 10.8.3

    Hi there, after I installed the OSX 10.8.3 update I can't open my Email and App Store apps. This is the popup message that appears when i try to open those apps. I tried to reinstall the app but I can't open my App Store. I also downloaded and installed the OSX Update 10.8.3 and the 10.8.2 again from the download support page, but I couldn't solve my problem. Does anyone knows how can i fix it?

    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • I have a white Macbook 2009 on OSX Lion. It came with the OSX Snow Leopard CD, I erased the HDD and am trying to install the OSX from disc but am getting "cannot install OSX from disc" message. What can I do?

    I have a white Macbook 2009 on OSX Lion. It came with the OSX Snow Leopard CD, I erased the HDD and am trying to install the OSX from disc but am getting "cannot install OSX from disc" message. What can I do?
    I got the macbook from a friend a few years ago and it already had OSX Lion installed. Whenever it boots from the Snow Leopard disc it says it cannot install from disc. Is there anythingI can do or should I take it to an Apple store to get them to boot OSX Lion for me?

    Insert your Snow Leopard disc and restart, press and hold the C key as soon as you hearthe startup chime, hold C until you see the Apple Logo. When your computer starts up you'll be at the first install screen, choose your language and click the arrow to go to the next screen. This screen has a menu bar, from the Utilities menu select Disk Utility, select your hard drive, this is the one with the manufacturers name or numbers, click the partition tab and then delete any existing partitions by selecting them and clicking the minus. In the drop down box select one partition and click apply. Name your hard drive and click erase. When it's done quit DU and go back to the installer, install Snow Leopard. When the installer is done and the computer is back up and running run Software Update to get to 10.6.8

  • Why can`t I download and instal the osx lion in brazil if I have already bought it?

    First of all, sorry for my english, but i`m not so good in it.
    Well, i`m trying to download and install the osx 10.7 in my 2009 macbook,
    i have already bought and used it before in my macbook,
    after installing the osx 10.8, i didn`t like and decided to go back to Snow Leopard.
    Now, i`m trying to download and instal but i can`t because they say that this osx isn`t available for my country.

  • TS3147 Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R2000 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

    Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R2000 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server???
    I am using mac osx 10.8 and now cant get print software for epson R2000 printer.

    After system update, my Epson Stylus SX 535WD was ''gone''. I tried in vain to add it as an IP printer (got the IP-address from the printer). The printer model is correctly recognized, software download starts -- but then  the "software ... is not currently available..."
    Resetting  the printing system did not help. Downloading Epson Printer Drivers v2.15.1 from  here
    did not help either, downloading Epson Printer Drivers.
    In the end, I re-installed the printer software from the original CDs. After that the printer showed up as a Bonjour Printer, and I could add it without problem.
    But note: although the printer is installed now and working properly, I still get the old error message (...software ..not available...) if I try to add the printer as an IP printer !?

However after 20 seconds or so I get the message: Can't install the software for the HP Officejet 6300 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. This has happned over and over. I have updated the OSx and am 10.8.5. It works on my Mac Book Pro and did once work on the Mac Book Air but stopped so I unistalled and tried to reintsall but no joy. How can i gte the right drivers onto the laptop so that the seach finds them and connects the printer that it already sees?
    Many thanks

  • How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software?

    How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software for a computer running MAC OSX 10.4.11 if you do not have a MacBook Air?

    You'll find the software you're looking for here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/dvdorcdsharingsetupupdateformac.html
    However, say for example you install this on your iMac G4 or Windows XP PC (you'll need to get the link for that one yourself), are you planning to try to share the drive with an iBook or other non-MacBook Air computer? If this is your case, I'm not shure if it can be done with that software. I'll need to get back to you on that one.

    Yes, assuming you have enough disk space, you can install 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, and 10.7 Lion.  If you want to upgrade to 10.7 Lion, I'd recommend a memory upgrade to at least 4GB.

  • Can't install the Bundled applications from the Applications Install Disc

    Hi.
    I can't install the bundled software, such as iphoto and so on. It says something about installation failed, without a fail code????? please help me it is so annoying! Ps. the Mac has i completly reinstalled MAC OSX on!

    I was having the same issue after reinstalling a MacBook Pro 17 with OS X 10.6.6 this weekend.
    When trying to install the Applications Install DVD, I got the message "An unknown installation error has occurred".
    I connected the MacBook Pro to the Internet and let it download software updates. After rebooting, it had updated to OS X 10.6.8. Applications Install DVD came back with same error. Then the software updates ran again and this time there was an Apple Software Installer Update 1.0 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1512) . After this update, the Applications Install DVD loaded fine.
    Hope this works for you.

  • Can i Install Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 /10.6 ?

    Hello guys,
    I've bought about 3 weeks ago an iPhone 3G. Since i have my iPhone i like to produce software for the iPhone with the developers kit from apple. But i have one problem. I have an Acer Aspire notebook with:
    4GB memory
    Intel Processor (2,2 GHZ)
    Ati Videocard
    Windows Vista Premium
    Can i Install Mac OSX on this notebook ? Maybe with dual boot.
    Best Regards,
    Theodoor de Wit

    A slightly different perspective from what others have already posted:
    Even assuming there were no licensing/legal problems with this & you could somehow successfully hack the OS & SDK to install & run on your Acer, would you really want to try to use that as a development platform for iPhone apps? It would be like trying to build a sturdy house on an uncertain foundation: you would never know if or when the whole thing might collapse or how to tell if the fault was in what you built or not.
    If you want to develop for the iPhone, invest in a Mac. If you are any good at it, judging from the success stories you could quickly & easily make back the cost of that investment & much more. Even if you don't, you will have a very well made & supported computer running what is arguably the most stable & user-friendly OS on the planet.

  • Old HHD failed, how can I install an OSx onto new drive?

    My old stock HDD failed, and I had to replace it. I have time machine on an external hard drive, and am using it to communicate here. However, when I try to install an OSx (Mountain Lion) onto my new drive, it says: "Cannot install OS. Contact AppeCare." I used disk utility to make sure it says Mac OS Extended (Journaled). What can I do?

    Try this:  Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys.  The display should result in a picture with a revolving globe.  If you follow the directions, this will connect you to the Apple servers.  You then will be able to install the original OSX that came with the MBP (Lion).  Do not forget to format the HDD in Disk Utility>Erase (to Mac OS Extended (Jourrnaled)) before installing the OSX.
    If you had Mt. Lion on that MBP, it should be in your App Store account.  You may download it from there.
    You will need a solid Internet connection.
    Ciao.
