I have problem installing my snow leopard. it says that installing will continue after restart of my computer. But after it has restared, no installation happened. also it keeps ejecting the cd. What am i going to do? I've tried so many times.

as of now, my OS is 10.5.8. I wanted to upgarde it to 10.6 so that i can install the latest itunes.
But, i cant install my snow leopard. it keeps happening and happening again.
My laptop keeps ejecting the dvd. Sometimes i was able to open the dvd and click install. But after I reached "46 minutes remaining", the window will show that the installation will continue after restarting. and when its restarted, the installation did not continue. and im still with 10.5.8.
What should i do?

Something went wrong with your upgrade.
Back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup 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.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper technical details. There is no point whatsoever in throwing around generalized assumptions without having exact error messages and so on.

I have just installed Mountain Lion over Snow Leopard, I now can't open Photoshop?

Hi everyone, I have just installed Mountain Lion over Snow Leopard. The installation went smooth and woks well. Now I find that Ican't open either Photoshop CS or Microsoft Word. I upgraded in order to install Lightroom 5, obviously there is now an incompatability, is there a work around?

If that is the original Photoshop CS, and Word 2004 or earlier, then they won't open because Lion and Mountain Lion do not support PowerPC apps. They must be Intel code. Snow Leopard could run them because it included Rosetta, a PowerPC to Intel (and back) interpreter.
You have a few options.
1) Go back to Snow Leopard.
2) Update your apps to compatible versions.
3) If you have Mountain Lion because newer apps require it then:
a) Install Snow Leopard Server (currently being sold by Apple for $20) in a VM such as Parallels, and then run your PPC apps in the VM.
b) Install Snow Leopard on a separate partition and boot to that version of OS X when you need to use those older apps.

I HAve problems installing 7.03 update mmy ipad

You have run into Activation Lock, which is a new security feature in iOS 7. You
need the AppleID and passcode used to originally activate the iPad. Either ask
the seller to unlock the iPad or return it for a refund. There is no workaround
for Activation Lock.

If you have iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Problems installing OSX Lion - new Mac Mini 2011

Hi!
I'm having major problem with my brand new Mac Mini.
I wanted to upgrade it right away after reading so many succeful upgrading reports on various forums so I bought a 120GB Intel 320 SSD disk and 2x4 GB of Kingston 1333mhz ram. I swapped the drives right away and idiotically used to original drive in a case to create an external installation USB-drive (my 4GB USB drives didn't work).
I then created a bootable USB-disk with the external original drive and tried to install but only get the circle with slash after selecting the drive in the "options" menu. If I remove the USB-drive I get a flashing folder icon. If start holding down Command + S I get a message saying that the "version of OSX is not supported on this platform".
I also tried using the Recovery Assistant HD to create a bootable recovery tool but that gives the same results.
In short:
I can't install OSX Lion on a brand new Mac Mini with upgraded HD and Ram. I don't have the original installation anymore.
Am I out of luck?

Internet Recovery solved this problem. Option+Command+R.

Problems Installing Mountain Lion on Another Family Computer

I purchased Mac OS X Mountain Lion and installed in on my personal laptop.
I'm trying to install Mac OS X Mountain Lion on a family laptop that my wife and I jointly use - a Macbook Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz, with 2 GB of memory, running OS 10.6.8. In other words, it meets the specifications I found online to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
I created a new admin user account for us, logged into it, went to the App Store, logged in with my Apple ID, went to purchases, clicked downloads, and at the top was OS X Mountain Lion.
I clicked Download, and it starts well enough, gets to about 10mb, and then restarts at zero. It proceeds to do this about five times before an error comes up:
"The application could not be downloaded.
The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again."
I'm drawing plenty of data with our internet. Any ideas on what to do?
I also have in my purchase history OS X Lion. Should I try to download that first, and then try to download Mac OS X Mountain Lion from there?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You are sure that the MacBook meets these Requirements below?:
OS X Mountain Lion system requirements
To install Mountain Lion, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
