I'm having problems installing lion on my mac

When I try to install Lion on my iMac I get - This disk is not formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Use Disk Utility to enable journaling or reformat the desk

3lii
Yes, I ran into the same problem. Mine is a fairly old (3 or 4 years) Mac Book, and I'm guessing that it came this way from the factory. I don't think I have ever reformatted this hard drive.
And when I opened up Disk Utility, it was not immediately clear how to enable the journaling, as Im used to selecting the pick list, and that was not budging.
But under File there is a Enable Journaling option, and if you select the partition in Disk Utility, that option should become black and selectable.
If you do that, then Journaling will start.
Hope that helps.

Bought snow leopard 10.6.3.( mac intel i3) having problems installing product. after 15mins computer freezes any ideas?, bought snow leopard 10.6.3.( mac intel i3) having problems installing product. after 15mins computer freezes any ideas?

Hi recently bought snow leopard 10.6.3. Having problems installing. My i Mac has intel i3 and system 10.6.8 . After about 15mins the computer restarts but freezes with apple logo. Any ideas? thanks alan

Yes, 10.6.8 update was specifically to ease the Lion installation (apart from some security updates).
Juat log onto the App Store (Icon would be in the Dock by default) and find the download. If you're not already registered with App Store, you'll need credit card info to hand, and your Apple ID (the one you use to log in here or the iTunes Store if you use it).
You would only need the retail SL disc if you were running 10.5.8 (Leopard) or earlier.

Having problem installing Snowleapord, going back from lion.

I own MBP 2.66C2D 13" 2010, I downloaded and installed lion very first day, before that i was felling my system response is getting quiet slow, after intalling lion i felt that i should refresh my machine from scratch so i can have every thing back (talking about speed), what i did i restarted the machine and used command+r to get into recovery mode of lion, there i erased my main HDD and selected the option to reinstall lion, after couple of clicks i noticed that lion is again downloading, i already have installation disk which i made after downloading lion first time, so i thought that i should reinstall snow leapord from the dvd and then install lion from that disk, i again restrated my book after inserting leapord dvd and holded option key there i selected dvd as a boot drive and my system started asking me about language then when i was moved to the screen where i was suppose to tell system in which drive it should install leapord my main and only HDD was comming with full free space but there was small yellow exclamation mark and when i selected that disk it said cant install in this disk, this is my first mac i bought it last year never tried to do this before, i was long time windows user, i would like anyone to help me what i did wrong and what im lacking, please reply as soon as you guyz can i cant keep my system in this position tomorow will be momday and i have to prepare my system for starting the week.

Ok JaEvo, i finally resloved the issue, i couldnt installed snow leapord then i left the idea of installing that, what i did i restored my lion back frm my time machine backup, everything was there where i left that, so accessed my lion dvd and noticed that my dvd had only one file and i.e. Dmg file, i read the article again of making lion dvd so i realised that i made that dvd by just copying dmg file on my dvdand pressed burn button on my finder, so finally i erased that dvd and used disk utility to burn that image on dvd so after burning process i got 3-4 files & folders in the disk, then i restarted my system and holded c till i saw he apple logo and little gear, after almost 10 minutes i again came to lion restore page the i erased me main HDD and gone back to option where i selected install new copy of lion, lion gave me 30 minutes in begening and saying it will download some component and in 5 minutes my system restarted and installation began, took almost 15-20 minutes, then every thing started freshly i made account & etc, but for those who are having problems with lion i must say do clean installation if lion and see how Lion will roar on your machine, soon we will see 10.7.2 and i believe we will have so many small bugs fixed.
Thanks for everyones support, this will help others.

I am having trouble installing Lion on a partitioned hard drive. Help?

Aloha:
I am having trouble installing Lion on a partitioned hard drive
I have three internal HD's The first I am running the system on 10.6.8 (which is up to date) , the second I do most of my work on and the third I have partitioned into two and I am trying to install Lion on one of the patitions.
But Lion has decided it will only go on the first HD.
Above is the one I want to put it on, but it's not available and I can't change the partition scheme. None of the things the directions state are usable??
What might I be doing wrong?
Thanks
Dan Page

Thanks again for a rapid responce.
I finally got lion on one partition and my daily "SilverKeeper" backup on the other.
Since the only thing I had on the two partition Hard drive was the back up and since the backup would get put on tonight any way I changed the drive to no partitions. This gave me the ability to choose the GUID option, which I did and then I installed two partitions and successfuly istalled Lion on one of them. I even tied Lion into the iCloud successfuly.
But I am not out of the woods yet! I brought My brand new iPad to lunch and was informed that my iPad was synced to my Lion at home and I was on the cloud. That blew my mind, I was impressed.
I then read the Daily news with out problem, however, when I shut down my iPad, that was all she wrote. I can not get the iPad back on. The best I could do was see the revolving gear start and then freeze. It's on charge now and I can not even get rid of the frozen gear.
Not sure this all has anything to do with the recent installation on my main computer, but it's mighty suspicious.
Need some help!!
Thanks
Dan

I install LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary? How do I do this if so?
I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
Thanks again for your help.

Having problems installing snow leopard. I have a macbook aluminium unibody 13'' running on 10.5.8.

Having problems installing snow leopard. I have a macbook aluminium unibody 13'' running on 10.5.8. I need snow leopard for ios6 and my new iPhone 5. I am trying to install using a snow leopard dvd for macbook pro but it comes up with an error message saying I can't install on this computer. I am pretty sure that my computer is late 2008 and has the spec. Is it because the dvd is for a macbook pro? If so where can I get one specifically for my computer?

1. Yes.
2. Phone the online Apple Store and order it.

I'm having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.

I'm having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.
The problem is right at the end of installation, it (the Install Shield Wizard) says status is registering and then immediately does an action rollback.
The message I get is:
'The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run the installation again.'
If anyone can offer some help, please, that would be great.
Thanks.
Grant.

Hi voltric2014,
If you are on Windows, you can download and install the CreatePDF Desktop Printer, which would allow you to "print" to PDF from Word. You'll find a link to the installer on the CreatePDF page at https://cloud.acrobat.com. Here are the instructions for installing it: Using Adobe PDF Pack
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,

I have installed creative cloud and a trial version of illustrator on my laptop since then my IT department has purchase illustrator but is having problems installing it onto a PC workstation.

I have installed creative cloud and a trial version of illustrator on my laptop since then my IT department has purchase illustrator but is having problems installing it onto a PC workstation.

Hi, the problem is that my IT department was sent a link on his laptop to install Illustrator, however the request was for them to build me a workstation and install it on there. they have built the workstation and is having problem installing the CC desktop app on there, just to clarify would you be able to answer the following:
1) Do you have to have CC desktop app to install Illustrator from the given link?
2) If you have signed up & installed CC on your laptop, can you install illustrator on a workstation by simply installing the CC desktop app on the workstation, log into that with your username & activate the link to install illustrator, basically the provided link should not be specific to a computer or user?
Thanks

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Mobile Device Support entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
